Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are subject to risks and uncertainties that may include, for example:
•the business, operations and financial performance of the Company, including market conditions and global and economic factors beyond the Company’s control, such as a tight labor market, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, volatility in foreign exchange rates, supply chain constraints, recessionary fears, and impacts from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia;
•the high level of competition in the cloud contact center industry and the intense competition and competitive pressures from other companies in the industry in which the Company operates;

•the Company's reliance on third-party telecommunications and internet service providers and aggregators to provide its products and for other aspects of its business;
•the Company’s ability to raise financing or complete acquisitions in the future;
•the Company’s success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, its officers, key employees or directors;

The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors included in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about LiveVox’s plans, strategies and prospects, which are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations or if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. The information as of December 31, 2022 included in the consolidated balance sheets was derived from those audited consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
8
eliminated in consolidation. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full annual periods.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s net income, financial position, stockholders’ equity or cash flows as previously reported.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, requiring adjustment to these balances in future periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, period of benefit of deferred sales commissions, allowances for credit losses, fair value of marketable securities, fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets, fair value of incentive awards, fair value of warrants, establishing standalone selling price, valuation of deferred tax assets, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies, including the Company’s ability to exercise its right to repurchase incentive options from terminated employees.
c) Segment Information
The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is its chief operating decision maker. The Company’s CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of assessing performance and making decisions on how to allocate resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in a single reportable segment.
d) Foreign Currency Translation
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s international subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Revenue and expenses have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the periods presented. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss), unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investments, or the adjustment is inconsequential.
e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy to classify fair value amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the hierarchy are described below:
•Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2—Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions based on the best information available. The Company recognizes transfers into and out of the levels as of the end of each reporting period. Refer to Note 19 for additional information regarding the fair value measurements.
f) Liquidity and Capital Resources
LiveVox’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern for the 12-month period from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements, which contemplates the realization of assets
9
and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s main sources of liquidity include:
•Available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities, which are all classified as short-term securities to fund current operations and may be liquidated at the Company’s discretion if the need arises. The Company held AFS debt securities of $43.7 million and $48.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. See Note 4 for more information;
•The term loan and revolving credit facility that the Company entered into with PNC Bank on November 7, 2016 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), which has been amended several times, most recently as of May 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the term loan commitment was $54.5 million, the revolver commitment was $5.0 million and the letter of credit sublimit was $1.5 million. See Notes 9 and 10 for more information.
The Company’s primary use of cash is for operating and administrative activities including employee-related expenses, and general, operating and overhead expenses. Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s customer growth rate, customer retention, timing and extent of development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced services offerings, the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s services, effective integration of acquisition activities, if any, and maintaining the Company’s bank credit facility. Additionally, the duration and extent of the impact from the current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions continues to depend on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as a tight labor market, inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, volatility in foreign exchange rates, supply chain constraints, recessionary fears and the specific impact of these and other factors on LiveVox’s business, employees, customers and partners. While those factors have caused operational difficulties, and may continue to create challenges for the Company’s performance, they have not, thus far, had a substantial net impact on the Company’s liquidity position.
The Company believes it has sufficient financial resources for at least the next 12 months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.
g) Debt Discount and Issuance Costs
The Company’s debt issuance costs and debt discount are recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability and are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the term loan.
h) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company limits its credit risk associated with the cash and cash equivalents by placing investments with banks it believes are highly creditworthy. The Company has exposure to credit risk to the extent cash balances exceed amounts covered by Federal deposit insurance. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and money market funds.
i) Marketable Securities
The Company invests in various marketable securities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company designated all of these marketable securities as debt securities and classified them as available-for-sale (“AFS”). No debt securities were classified as held-to-maturity (“HTM”) or trading. Debt securities are classified as current or non-current, based on maturities and the Company’s expectations of sales and redemptions in the next 12 months. The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
Debt securities classified as AFS are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss) in the consolidated balance sheets until the securities are sold or the unrealized losses are related to credit losses. Gains and losses on sales of AFS debt securities are recorded on the trade date in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The cost of AFS debt securities sold or the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings is determined using the specific identification method.
At each reporting date, the Company evaluates the amortized cost of AFS debt securities compared to their fair value to determine whether an AFS debt security is impaired. The Company first assesses whether it intends to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its entire amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through other income (expense),
10
net, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If neither of these criteria is met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value below amortized cost basis has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers factors such as the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost basis, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security. Credit related unrealized losses are recognized as an allowance for credit losses in the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding charge in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-credit related unrealized losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), as applicable, net of applicable taxes.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and all subsequent updates (collectively, the “ASC 326”) and applied to its AFS debt securities. Please refer to Note 2(aa) for more information about ASC 326. See Note 4 for additional information relating to the Company’s marketable securities.
In connection with the adoption of new standards, the Company elected to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of AFS debt securities and present it within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable. As such, accrued interest receivable is written off in a timely manner when deemed uncollectible, by reversing previously recognized interest income.
j) Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated net of any write-offs and the allowance for credit losses, at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral unless a customer has previously defaulted. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents the best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses against the existing accounts receivable, inclusive of unbilled receivables, based on certain factors including the age of the receivable balance, historical write-off experience, past collection experience with the customer, credit quality of the customer, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance for credit losses after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received.
The allowance for credit losses activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | 2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Balance, beginning of period | $ | 1,868 | $ | 1,385 | $ | 1,459 | $ | 1,282 | |||||||||||||||
Credit loss expense | 494 | 369 | 907 | 402 | |||||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable write-offs | — | (386) | (4) | (403) | |||||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable recoveries | — | 86 | — | 173 | |||||||||||||||||||
Balance, end of period | $ | 2,362 | $ | 1,454 | $ | 2,362 | $ | 1,454 |
On January 1, 2023, the Company applied ASC 326 to its trade accounts receivable. The Company determined that the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2022 recorded under the accounting standards in effect during that period is sufficient and that no additional allowance for credit losses on its trade accounts receivable is required upon adoption of ASC 326. Please refer to Note 2(aa) for more information about ASC 326.
k) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance activities, are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed, the asset’s original cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Amortization expense on capitalized software is included in depreciation expense.
11
Depreciation of leasehold improvements is recorded over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement or lease terms that are reasonably assured.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Years | |||||
Computer equipment | 3 - 5 | ||||
Computer software | 3 | ||||
Furniture and fixtures | 5 - 10 | ||||
Leasehold improvements | 5 | ||||
Website development | 2 |
l) Identified Intangible Assets
On March 21, 2014, LiveVox, Inc. and subsidiaries were acquired by LiveVox Holdings, Inc. On October 16, 2019, the Company acquired the rights to certain assets of Teckst Inc. On December 16, 2019, the Company acquired the rights to Speech IQ, LLC. On February 5, 2021, the Company completed its asset acquisition of BusinessPhone. The acquisitions resulted in identified marketing-based, technology-based, customer-based, trademark-based, and workforce-based intangible assets. The fair value of the identified assets was determined as of the date of the acquisition by management with the assistance of an independent valuation firm. The identified intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Years | |||||
Marketing-based | 7 | ||||
Technology-based | 4 - 10 | ||||
Customer-based | 7 - 16 | ||||
Trademark-based | 4 | ||||
Workforce-based | 10 |
m) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. The Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill on October 1 of each year, and when a triggering event occurs between annual impairment tests.
In testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, or bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-20-35, as amended by ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no triggering events have occurred that would require an impairment review of goodwill outside of the required annual impairment review, and therefore, no impairment charges were recorded during those periods. Refer to Note 6 for more information.
n) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset and long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. On January 30, 2023, the Company announced the closure of certain underutilized physical offices within the United States as more of the Company’s employees shift to a hybrid or remote work environment. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.5 million to reflect the write-down of the carrying amount excess over the
12
fair value of the right-of-use asset for the offices closed. No impairment losses were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
o) Amounts Due to Related Parties
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has and expects to continue to have transactions with its stockholders and affiliates. Refer to Note 11 for more information.
p) Concentration of Risk
Concentration of Credit and Customer Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. Risks associated with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are mitigated using what the Company considers creditworthy institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are in the United States.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no single issuer represented more than 10% of the Company’s marketable securities.
The Company’s customers are primarily in the receivables management, tele-sales and customer care industries. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, substantially all the Company’s revenue was generated in the United States. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no single customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no single customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable.
Concentration of Supplier Risk
The Company relies on third parties for telecommunication, bandwidth, and co-location services that are included in cost of revenue.
As of June 30, 2023, two vendors accounted for approximately 33.4% of the Company’s accounts payable. No other single vendor exceeded 10% of the Company’s accounts payable at June 30, 2023. At December 31, 2022, one vendor accounted for approximately 37.7% of the Company’s accounts payable. No other single vendor exceeded 10% of the Company’s accounts payable at December 31, 2022. The Company believes there could be a material impact on future operating results should a relationship with an existing significant supplier cease.
q) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenue by providing cloud-based contact center products under a usage-based model, with prices calculated on a per-call, per-seat, or, more typically, a per-minute basis and contracted minimum usage in accordance with the terms of the underlying agreements. Other immaterial ancillary revenue is derived from call recording, local caller identification packages, performance/speech analytics, text messaging services and professional services billed monthly on primarily usage-based fees and, to a lesser extent, fixed fees. Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as sales taxes, which are collected on behalf of and remitted to governmental authorities based on local tax law.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
a.Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
b.Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
c.Determination of the transaction price;
13
d.Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
e.Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of services, each of which are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. The Company’s cloud-based contact center solutions typically include a promise to provide continuous access to its hosted technology platform solutions through its data centers. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software platform at any time. LiveVox’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits and the Company performs its services. The Company’s contract terms typically range from to three years with payment terms of net 10-60 days. As the services provided by the Company are generally billed monthly there is not a significant financing component in the Company’s arrangements.
The Company’s arrangements typically include monthly minimum usage commitments and specify the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the monthly minimum. Additional usage in excess of contractual minimum commitments is deemed to be specific to the month that the usage occurs, since the minimum usage commitments reset at the beginning of each month. The Company has determined these arrangements meet the variable consideration allocation exception and therefore, it recognizes contractual monthly commitments and any overages as revenue in the month they are earned.
The Company has service-level agreements with customers warranting defined levels of uptime reliability and performance. Customers may receive credits or refunds if the Company fails to meet such levels. If the services do not meet certain criteria, fees are subject to adjustment or refund representing a form of variable consideration. The Company records reductions to revenue for these estimated customer credits at the time the related revenue is recognized. These customer credits are estimated based on current and historical customer trends, and communications with its customers. Such customer credits have not been significant to date.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company generally determines SSP based on the prices charged to customers. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the service separately, the SSP is determined using information that generally includes market conditions or other observable inputs.
Professional services for configuration, system integration, optimization or education are billed on a fixed-price or time and material basis and are performed by the Company directly or, alternatively, customers may also choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers. Professional services revenue, which represents approximately 2.0% of revenue, is recognized over time as the services are rendered.
Deferred revenue represents billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual or multi-year minimum usage agreements not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as deferred revenue, current in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as deferred revenue, net of current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
r) Costs to Obtain Customer Contracts (Deferred Sales Commissions)
Sales commissions are paid for initial contracts and expansions of existing customer contracts. Sales commissions and related expenses are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. These costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the anticipated period of benefit, which the Company has estimated to be five years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the length of the Company’s customer contracts, the customer attrition rate, the life of the technology provided and other factors. Amortization expense is recorded in sales and marketing expense within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. No impairment losses were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
s) Advertising
14
The Company expenses non-direct response advertising costs as they are incurred. There were no advertising costs capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Advertising expense is included under sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
t) Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs not related to the development of internal use software are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily include payroll and employee benefits, consulting services, travel, and software and support costs.
u) Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, payroll, and payroll-related costs of employees incurred in developing internal-use software after certain capitalization criteria are met and includes these costs in the computer software. Refer to Note 5 for additional information. Software development costs are expensed as incurred until preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. To date, all software development costs have been charged to research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no capitalized software development costs related to internal-use software during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
v) Income Taxes
Deferred Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences arising from the temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will be paid or refunds received, as provided for under currently enacted tax law. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017 subjects a U.S. shareholder to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. Under U.S. GAAP, an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI resulting from those items in the year of the GILTI inclusion (i.e., as a period expense). The Company has elected to recognize the tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period of inclusion. As such, no deferred taxes are recorded on the Company’s temporary differences that might reverse as GILTI in future years.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained in a court of last resort. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any uncertain tax positions. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefit as a component of income tax expense.
w) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures compensation expense for stock awards granted to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation is measured at fair value on grant date. The Company classified all stock awards as equity awards at the grant date, and reassesses the liability versus equity treatment on a quarterly basis for any changes that have occurred during the period presented that may result in a reclassification. Equity-classified awards are recognized as stock-based compensation expense over an employee’s requisite service period or a non-employee’s vesting
15
period on the basis of the grant date fair value. The Company elects to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than making estimates of future forfeitures.
Management Incentive Units
During 2019, LiveVox TopCo established a Management Incentive Unit program whereby the LiveVox TopCo board of directors has the power and discretion to approve the issuance of Class B Units that represent management incentive units (“MIUs”) to any manager, director, employee, officer or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries. Vesting begins on the date of issuance, and the MIUs vest ratably over five years with 20% of the MIUs vesting on each anniversary of a specified vesting commencement date, subject to the grantee’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date. Vesting of the MIUs will accelerate upon consummation of a “sale of the company”, which is defined by the LiveVox TopCo limited liability company agreement.
The Company measures stock-based compensation expense for MIUs based on the grant date fair value of the award estimated by using a Monte Carlo simulation. Monte Carlo simulation is a widely accepted approach for financial instruments with path dependencies. The Company records stock-based compensation expense for the issued and outstanding MIUs based on the service condition on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of five years, reduced for actual forfeited MIUs.
Please see Note 15 for further detail about stock-based compensation expenses related to MIUs under the Management Incentive Unit program.
2021 Equity Incentive Plan
On June 16, 2021, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2021 Plan”), which became effective upon the closing of the Merger on June 18, 2021. On June 13, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan to clarify that the limitation on the maximum grant date fair value for awards shall apply only to the Company’s non-employee directors. As of June 30, 2023, the number of shares reserved for issuance is 19,695,679. The Company grants Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) awards to employees, executives, directors, and eligible consultants of the Company.
RSUs are subject to service conditions only. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of RSUs using the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on Nasdaq on the measurement date. Stock-based compensation expense for RSUs issued to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award, reduced for actual forfeited RSUs. Stock-based compensation expense for RSUs issued to non-employees is recognized as the goods are received or services are performed. The requisite service period typically ranges from to six years based on the grantee’s role in the Company. The amount of cumulative compensation cost recognized at any date must at least equal the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date.
PSUs, which are granted to certain key employees, vest either based on the achievement of predetermined market conditions or based on both service and market conditions. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for PSUs on a tranche-by-tranche basis (i.e., the accelerated attribution method) over an employee’s requisite service period, which is the longer of the time-vesting period or the derived service period inferred from the valuation model. Stock-based compensation expense of equity-classified PSUs is recognized provided that the good is delivered or the service is rendered, regardless of when, if ever, the market conditions are satisfied.
Payment of the underlying shares in connection with the vesting of employee RSUs and PSUs generally triggers a tax obligation for the employee, which is required to be remitted to the relevant tax authorities. The Company withholds otherwise deliverable RSU or PSU shares having a fair value at the vest date equal to the maximum statutory withholding tax amount and remits the remaining RSU or PSU shares to the employee recipients. Any cash received and paid to meet an employees’ statutory withholding tax requirement is reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company withheld 412,692 shares to cover employee recipients’ withholding tax obligations.
Non-employee directors acting in their role as members of a board of directors are treated as employees for purpose of ASC 718 if (a) those directors were elected by the Company’s stockholders and (b) the awards granted to non-employee directors are for their services as directors but not for other services. While a non-employee director may be considered an employee under ASC
16
718, he or she is not considered an employee under the IRS statutory withholding requirements. As a result, no shares are withheld to cover withholding taxes for an award issued to a non-employee director. Independent consultants are non-employees under the IRS statutory withholding requirements. As a result, no shares are withheld to cover withholding taxes for an award issued to an independent consultant.
Please see Note 15 for further detail about stock-based compensation expenses related to RSUs and PSUs under the 2021 Plan.
x) Acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business. Significant judgment is required in the application of the screen test to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.
y) Public and Forward Purchase Warrants
Prior to the Merger, Crescent issued 7,000,000 private placement warrants (“Private Warrants”) and 12,499,995 public warrants (“Public Warrants”) at the close of Crescent’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on March 7, 2019. As an incentive for LiveVox to enter into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement dated January 13, 2021, Crescent’s sponsor agreed to the cancellation of all of the Private Warrants prior to the Closing Date. In addition, 833,333 Forward Purchase Warrants (“Forward Purchase Warrants”) were issued pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement dated January 13, 2021 between Crescent and Old LiveVox. The 12,499,995 Public Warrants and the 833,333 Forward Purchase Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) remain outstanding after the Merger. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. The Warrants are exercisable at any time prior to June 18, 2026. See Note 12 for further information on stock warrants.
Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company concluded that (a) the Public Warrants meet the derivative scope exception for contracts in the Company’s own stock and are recorded in stockholders’ equity and (b) the Forward Purchase Warrants do not meet the derivative scope exception and are accounted for as derivative liabilities. Specifically, the Forward Purchase Warrants contain provisions that cause the settlement amounts to be dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the Warrant which is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. Therefore, the Forward Purchase Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock and should be classified as a liability. Since the Forward Purchase Warrants meet the definition of a derivative, the Company recorded the Forward Purchase Warrants as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon the Merger, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. The gain or loss resulting from decrease or increase in the fair value of the Forward Purchase Warrants in the subsequent periods is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the Forward Purchase Warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at each measurement date. See Note 19 for further information on fair value.
z) Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans may include employee severance and termination benefits, lease and non-lease contract termination costs, impairment of long-lived assets, and other related costs associated with restructuring activities.
The Company accounts for employee severance and termination benefits that represent a one-time benefit in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The Company accrues employee severance and termination benefits associated with a one-time benefit arrangement when employees are notified of their termination benefits.
The Company records employee severance and termination benefits in accordance with ASC 712, Compensation - Nonretirement and Postemployment Benefits, if it pays the benefits as part of an ongoing benefit arrangement, which includes benefits provided as part of its established severance policies, a consistent past practice or in accordance with statutory requirements. The Company accrues employee severance and termination benefits associated with an ongoing benefit arrangement when the payment is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.
Non-lease contract termination costs and other costs associated with restructuring activities are recorded in accordance with ASC 420.

aa) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The Company adopted the following new accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2023:
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Codification Improvement Amendments
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets, which includes the Company’s accounts receivable and other financial instruments. The new standard replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a current expected credit loss impairment model. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to AFS debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which clarifies treatment of certain credit losses. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, which permits an entity, upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, to irrevocably elect the fair value option (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) for eligible financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which changes the effective dates for Topic 326 to give implementation relief to certain types of entities. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which includes various narrow-scope improvements and clarifications. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments, which clarifies and improves certain financial instruments guidance. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for a troubled debt restructuring for creditors that have adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and also requires public business entities to present current-period gross write-offs (on a current year-to-date basis for interim-period disclosures) by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. ASU 2016-13 and all subsequent updates are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted these new standards effective January 1, 2023 on a modified retrospective basis, and the adoption did not result in a material cumulative-effect adjustment in its consolidated financial statements. Please refer to Note 2(i) and Note 2(j) for additional information relating to the Company’s application of new standards to its marketable securities and accounts receivable, respectively.
ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about their obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods in those fiscal years, except for the rollforward requirement, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2023 utilizing a retrospective method of transition, except for the rollforward requirement which the Company applied prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. See Note 7 for further information on the Company's supplier finance program.

ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity, including removing certain conditions for equity classification, and amending certain guidance on the computation of EPS for contracts on an entity’s own equity. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can elect to adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements and plans to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2024.
3. Revenue

Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) | $ | 1,915 | $ | 1,656 | $ | 259 |
The increase in deferred revenue was due to billings in advance of performance obligations being satisfied, net of revenue recognized for services rendered during the period presented. Revenue of $0.3 million and $1.1 million was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. Revenue of $0.4 million and $0.9 million was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the contracted minimum usage commitments and do not include an estimate of additional usage in excess of contractual minimum commitments. The Company’s contract terms typically range from to three years. Revenue as of June 30, 2023 that has not yet been recognized was approximately $176.5 million, of which $95.8 million and $80.7 million is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year and beyond one year, respectively.

Allowance for Credit Losses
At June 30, 2023, the Company reviewed 79 individual AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions and determined that it does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases. The Company concluded that the unrealized losses identified as of June 30, 2023 are due to short-term interest rate fluctuations, and not credit losses. Further, the Company noted that the present value of future cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate at the date the security was acquired was equal to or greater than the book value of the security, which further supports the conclusion that there is no credit loss. As such, the Company determined no credit loss existed and did not record an allowance for credit losses for its AFS debt securities at June 30, 2023. The Company will continue to monitor its AFS debt securities on a quarterly basis to assess whether there have been any additional indicators of credit losses.
The following table presents the fair value and unrealized losses of the Company’s AFS debt securities that are in unrealized loss positions and for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded at June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

At December 31, 2022, the Company reviewed 83 individual AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions and determined that it did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that it would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases. The Company concluded that the unrealized losses identified as of December 31, 2022 were due to short-term interest rate fluctuations, and did not result from credit losses. Further, the Company noted that the present value of future cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate at the date the security was acquired was equal to or greater than the book value of the security, which further supports the conclusion that there was no credit loss. As such, the unrealized loss remains appropriately recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2022 and is not adjusted at adoption of ASC 326.
The following table presents the fair value and unrealized losses of the Company’s AFS debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Subsequent to the annual impairment test completed during the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company believes there have been no triggering events that would require an impairment review of goodwill outside of the required annual impairment review. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there was no impairment to the carrying value of the Company’s goodwill.
There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022.

8. Leases
The Company accounts for operating leases and finance leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases.
The Company has leases for offices, data centers and other computer and networking equipment that expire at various dates through 2027. The Company’s leases have remaining terms of to four years, and some of the leases include a Company option to extend the leases. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected the practical expedient on not separating lease components from non-lease components for right-of-use assets.
There were no finance leases as of June 30, 2023 and the balance of finance leases was immaterial as of December 31, 2022.
The operating lease cost was as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Company entered into a term loan and revolving credit facility with PNC Bank on November 7, 2016 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), which has been amended several times. The term loan is due December 31, 2025. On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Eighth Amendment”). The Eighth Amendment, among other changes, (a) resets the existing annual recurring revenue financial covenant beginning with the testing period ending March 31, 2023, and (b) amends the interest rate provisions, including to replace the LIBOR benchmark interest rate with an adjusted SOFR benchmark interest rate (as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facility). As amended, borrowings under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at a per annum rate, at the Company’s option, based on either (a) a base rate (as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facility) plus a margin of 4.0% or (b) an adjusted term SOFR (based on one- or three-month interest periods) plus a margin of 5.0%. On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Credit Facility, which provides clarification related to the letter of credit fees. All other terms and conditions remain the same. The Company elected an adjusted SOFR rate at June 30, 2023 and the interest rate for the term loan portion of the Credit Facility was 10.2%.
As of June 30, 2023, the term loan commitment was $54.5 million, the revolver commitment was $5.0 million and the letter of credit sublimit was $1.5 million.

The Company incurred original issue discount of $0.3 million related to the Eighth Amendment, which, along with the remaining balance of the previously deferred original issue discount and loan fees in the amount of $0.3 million related to the original Credit Facility and all previous amendments, is amortized and recorded to interest expense over the remaining term of the amended Credit Facility using the effective interest method. Third party loan fees associated with the Eighth Amendment were $0.1 million and expensed upon close of the loan. Total unamortized loan costs associated with the term loan totaled $0.5 million and $0.3 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively and are recorded within term loan, net of current.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and was in compliance with all debt covenants as of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. There was no unused borrowing capacity under the term loan portion of the Credit Facility at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. On March 31, 2023, the Company drew down approximately $0.3 million under the revolving portion of the Credit Facility to pay for the original issue discount related to the Eighth Amendment, which was repaid in full by the Company as of June 30, 2023.

12. Stock Warrants
Public and Forward Purchase Warrants
Immediately following the Merger, LiveVox assumed 833,333 Forward Purchase Warrants and 12,499,995 Public Warrants that had been previously issued by Crescent. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments.
27
The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants, in whole and not in part, upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (“Redemption Period”). For purposes of the redemption, “Redemption Price” shall mean the last reported sales price of the Company’s common stock for any twenty trading days within the trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given. The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants for cash at a price of $0.01 per Warrant if the Reference Value equals or exceeds $18.00 per share. The warrant holders have the right to exercise their outstanding Warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date during the Redemption Period at $11.50 per share. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, the Company will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”, as described in the warrant agreement.
The Forward Purchase Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Forward Purchase Warrants are transferable, assignable and salable, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Forward Purchase Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Forward Purchase Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees then such Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the warrant holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
As of June 30, 2023, there were 13,333,328 Warrants outstanding, and no Warrants have been exercised.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
As of June 30, 2023, all PSUs granted to employees are classified as equity.
As discussed in Note 2(w), the Company estimates the fair value of the PSUs at each measurement date by using a Monte Carlo simulation. The key inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation are stock price, expected share price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate, and vesting hurdles. The stock price is based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on Nasdaq as of the valuation date. The volatility input is estimated using the volatility of the Company’s peer companies as well as the Company’s own implied volatility. The expected life of the PSUs is 30 years and all PSUs are assumed to be fully vested at the end of year 30. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Thirty-year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate. The vesting hurdles are set forth in the PSU agreement. The weighted average assumptions (weighted by relative grant date fair value) used in the Monte Carlo simulation to value PSUs granted during the periods presented are as follows:

There were no income tax benefits recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, related to tax deductions from RSU awards vesting during that period. Due to the Company’s net operating loss, the related tax deductions result in deferred tax assets that are fully offset with a valuation allowance.
As of June 30, 2023, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested awards by award type and their expected weighted-average recognition periods are summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands):
Unrecognized Stock-based Compensation Expense | Weighted-average Recognition Period (1) | ||||||||||

(1) The weighted-average recognition period is calculated as the sum of the weighted remaining period to recognize expense for unvested awards divided by the sum of the shares that are expected to vest for all awards that have not vested or expired by the end of the reporting period. For awards for which the straight-line method is used for expense recognition, the remaining recognition period is the amount of time between the end of the reporting period and the end of the entire award. For awards for which the accelerated attribution method is used for expense recognition, the remaining recognition period is the amount of time between the end of the reporting period and the end of each separately vesting portion of the award.

The geographical location of the Company’s customers affects the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows due to the potential for unfavorable and uncertain regulatory, political, economic and tax conditions. These uncertainties can impact the amount of revenue recognized through price adjustments and uncertainty of cash flows that may arise due to local regulations.
17. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific discrete events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur. The annual effective tax rate is based upon several significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pre-tax income of the Company in each tax jurisdiction in which it operates, and the development of tax planning strategies during the year. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In addition, the Company’s tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws and other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.
The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was $(0.1) million and $(0.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The benefit from or provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted primarily of foreign and state income taxes.
The effective tax rates were 2.00% and 2.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (3.15)% and (1.38)% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the six
33
months ended June 30, 2023, relative to 2022, was primarily attributable to the change in valuation allowance, an increase in state taxes and certain non-deductible expenses.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, India and Colombia. The tax returns are subject to statutes of limitations that vary by jurisdiction. At June 30, 2023, the Company remains subject to U.S. and certain state income tax examinations for tax years 2019 through 2022, and in certain other states for tax years 2018 through 2022. However, due to the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards in various jurisdictions, tax authorities have the ability to adjust carryforwards related to closed years.
18. Retirement Benefit Plan
The Company amended its existing plan (the “Plan”) effective on July 1, 2018. The amended Plan covers eligible employees immediately upon employment with the Company. Participants may contribute up to a maximum percentage of their annual compensation to the Plan as determined by the Company limited to the maximum annual amount set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan provides for traditional tax-deferred and Roth 401(k) contribution options. Prior to the Plan amendment, the Company did not provide a matching contribution. The Company began matching fifty percent of the employee contribution up to a maximum of $200 per pay period, limited to $4,800 annually, upon adoption of the Plan. One hundred percent of the employer match vests immediately. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company removed the maximum $200 per pay period matching contribution limitation, and began matching fifty percent of the employee contribution up to a maximum of $4,800 per plan year. The Company made matching contributions totaling $0.2 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Level 1 and Level 2 of the Fair Value Hierarchy
34
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their fair values due to their short maturities and have been classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the term loan and finance lease obligations approximates their carrying value. The fair value is determined based on observable inputs on the price of the term loan in the market and has been classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s AFS debt securities is determined based on valuations provided by external investment managers who obtain them from a variety of industry standard data providers and has been classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 4 for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities.
Level 3 of the Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company’s liability related to the Forward Purchase Warrants is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. There were no other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Warrant liability—Forward Purchase Warrants
As discussed in Note 2(y), 833,333 Forward Purchase Warrants were issued pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement dated January 13, 2021 between Crescent and Old LiveVox. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company concluded that the Forward Purchase Warrants do not meet the derivative scope exception and are accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Forward Purchase Warrants are classified as Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company employed a Black-Scholes option pricing model specific to the contractual terms of the Forward Purchase Warrants to determine their fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Inherent in the options pricing model are assumptions related to current stock price, exercise price, expected share price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The stock price is based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on Nasdaq as of the valuation date. The exercise price is based on the terms of the warrant agreement. The volatility input is estimated using the implied volatility of the Public Warrants and the volatility of the Company’s peer companies. The expected life of the Forward Purchase Warrants is based on the time from valuation date to the contractual expiration date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of issuance for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected five-year term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero. Future change in these assumptions could result in a material change to the fair value of the Forward Purchase Warrants, and such changes will be recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the Forward Purchase Warrants:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the gain recognized due to decrease in the fair value of warrant liability was $0.1 million and $0.2 million respectively, and was recorded within other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the gain recognized due to decrease in the fair value of warrant liability was $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
20. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period presented, including net issuance of shares upon vesting stock-based payment awards and excluding unvested stock-based payment awards and shares withheld to cover employees’ withholding taxes upon vesting of stock-based payment awards. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock, including Class A common stock issuable upon vesting of stock-based payment awards and contingent earnout shares. Basic and diluted loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential Class A common stock outstanding would have been antidilutive.
The computation of loss per share and weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

21. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $54.5 million and $54.9 million of the term loan principal was outstanding, respectively. The term loan is due December 31, 2025. See Note 9 for more information.
On June 29, 2023, the Company renewed an agreement for cloud services under which the Company has a non-cancelable minimum spend commitment in exchange for negotiated discounts on fees for use of eligible services. The total non-cancelable spend commitment is approximately $40.3 million for the period from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026.
Contingencies
The Company is subject to the possibility of various gain or loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business that will ultimately be resolved depending on future events. The Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset, or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when information available prior to issuance of the consolidated financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Gain contingencies are not recognized until they are realized or realizable.
Indemnification Agreements
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and certain employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or consolidated statements of cash flows.
Litigation and Claims
From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to various claims, charges, investigations, and litigation. As of the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the Company is not a party to any claims that would have a material adverse effect on its business operations or financial position.
22. Restructuring
2022 Restructuring Plan
On August 1, 2022, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (the “2022 Restructuring Plan”), following a review of the Company’s business, operating expenses and the macroeconomic environment. The purpose of the 2022 Restructuring Plan was to reduce the Company’s cost structure and improve its operational efficiency.
The 2022 Restructuring Plan included a reduction of approximately 3% of the Company’s global workforce. Restructuring charges incurred as a result of the 2022 Restructuring Plan totaled $0.9 million, and consist primarily of employee severance and termination benefits. The unpaid balance of restructuring charges was $0.1 million as of June 30, 2023, which the Company expects to pay off by the end of 2023.
37
2023 Restructuring Plan
On January 13, 2023, the Company authorized a new restructuring plan (the “2023 Restructuring Plan”). Management, with the oversight and guidance of the Company’s board of directors, determined to implement the 2023 Restructuring Plan following a review of the Company’s business, operating expenses and the macroeconomic environment. The 2023 Restructuring Plan was intended to reduce the Company’s cost structure and improve its operational efficiency.
The 2023 Restructuring Plan included a reduction of approximately 98 employees, comprising approximately 16% of the Company’s global workforce. Restructuring charges incurred as a result of the 2023 Restructuring Plan totaled $3.2 million, and consist primarily of employee severance and termination benefits. The 2023 Restructuring Plan charges were fully paid off in the second quarter of 2023.
Restructuring Charges

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted, the “Company,” “LiveVox,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to LiveVox Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries, collectively. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”). In addition to historical information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023.
Overview
We enable next-generation cloud contact center functionality through a cloud contact-center-as-a-service (“CCaaS”) platform that we provide for enterprises, business process outsourcers (“BPOs”) and collections agencies. Our CCaaS platform provides customers with a scalable, cloud-based architecture and pre-integrated artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities to support enterprise-grade deployments of our solutions including omnichannel customer connectivity, customer relationship management (“CRM”) and workforce engagement management (“WEM”). Our omnichannel product offerings enable our customers to connect with their customers via their channel of choice, including human voice, virtual agents powered by AI, email, text or web chat. Our platform features a native CRM which unifies disparate, department-level systems of record to present contact center agents with a single view of its customers without displacing or replacing existing CRMs or other systems of record. Our WEM offerings include a lightweight yet fully-featured product that meets the needs of smaller or less mature contact center operations as well as seamless integration with WEM products from other providers.
We typically sell our products to customers under one- to three-year subscription contracts that stipulate a minimum amount of monthly usage and associated revenue with the ability for the customer to consume excess usage above the minimum contract amount, all recognized on a monthly basis following deployment to the customer. Excess usage revenue is deemed to be specific to the month in which the usage occurs, since the minimum usage commitments reset at the beginning of each month. Subscription revenue accounted for 99.2% and 98.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 98.0% and 98.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, of our total revenue with the remainder consisting of professional services and other non-recurring revenue derived from the implementation of our products.
Restructuring Events
On August 1, 2022, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (the “2022 Restructuring Plan”) to reduce the Company’s cost structure and improve its operational efficiency. The 2022 Restructuring Plan included a reduction of approximately 3% of the Company’s global workforce. Restructuring charges incurred as a result of the 2022 Restructuring Plan totaled $0.9 million, and consist primarily of employee severance and termination benefits. The unpaid balance of restructuring charges was $0.1 million as of June 30, 2023, which the Company expects to pay off by the end of fiscal 2023.
On January 13, 2023, the Company authorized a restructuring plan (the “2023 Restructuring Plan”). Management, with the oversight and guidance of the Company’s board of directors, determined to implement the 2023 Restructuring Plan following a review of the Company’s business, operating expenses and the macroeconomic environment. The 2023 Restructuring Plan was intended to reduce the Company’s cost structure and improve its operational efficiency. The 2023 Restructuring Plan included a reduction of approximately 98 employees, comprising approximately 16% of the Company’s global workforce. Restructuring charges incurred as a result of the 2023 Restructuring Plan totaled $3.2 million, and consist primarily of employee severance and termination benefits. The 2023 Restructuring Plan charges were fully paid off in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
Please see Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information about this plan.
LiveVox’s Segments
The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is its chief operating decision maker. The Company’s CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of assessing performance and making decisions on how to allocate resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in a single reportable segment.
Key Operating and Non-GAAP Financial Performance Metrics
40
In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our consolidated financial statements, we monitor the key metrics set forth below to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts and assess operational efficiencies.
Annualized Recurring Revenue
Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is calculated as the sum of the most recent quarter of (a) recurring subscription amounts and (b) recurring platform usage charges for all customers, multiplied by four. Professional services and revenue of a one-time nature are excluded.
ARR in the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $140.3 million, which is $10.7 million or 8.3% higher than the $129.6 million of ARR in the three months ended June 30, 2022.
LTM Net Revenue Retention Rate
We believe that our Last Twelve Months (“LTM”) Net Revenue Retention Rate provides us and investors with insight into our ability to retain and grow revenue from our customers and is a meaningful measure of the long-term value of our customer relationships. We calculate LTM Net Revenue Retention Rate by dividing the recurring revenue recognized during the most recent LTM period by the recurring revenue recognized during the LTM period immediately preceding the most recent LTM period, provided, however, that recurring revenue from a customer in the most recent LTM period is excluded from the calculation if recurring revenue was not recognized from that customer in the preceding LTM period. Customers who cease using our products during the most recent LTM period are included in the calculation. For example, LTM Net Revenue Retention for the 12-month period ending June 2023 includes recurring revenue from all customers for whom revenue was recognized from July 2021 to June 2022 regardless of whether such customers increased, decreased, or stopped their use of our products during that period (i.e., old customers), but excludes recurring revenue from all customers who began using our services from July 2022 to June 2023 (i.e., new customers). We define monthly recurring revenue as recurring monthly contract and excess usage revenue, which we calculate separately from one-time, non-recurring revenue by month by customer. We consider all contract and excess usage revenue, which represents 98.0% of our revenue, to be recurring revenue as all of our contracts provide for a minimum commitment amount. We consider professional services revenue and one-time adjustments, which are booked on a one-time, non-recurring basis, to be non-recurring revenue. Professional services and other one-time adjustments are generally not material to the result of the calculation. However, one-time non-recurring revenue is important with respect to timing as we bill installation and non-standard statement of work fees immediately and recognize the revenue as the work is completed, which is generally in advance of the beginning of recurring revenue which is when we recognize the beginning of the LTM period immediately preceding the most recent LTM period.
The following table shows our LTM Net Revenue Retention Rate for the periods presented:
Twelve Months Ended June 30, | Twelve Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
2023 | 2022 | 2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||
LTM Net Revenue Retention Rate | 111 | % | 108 | % | 113 | % | 105 | % |
Our LTM Net Revenue Retention Rate reflects the expansion over time of our existing customers as they add new products and additional units of service. A much higher percentage of the product revenue from our customers is contracted on our per minute pricing model with a minimum commitment as compared to our per agent pricing model with minimum commitments for both agents and units of service.
Our LTM Net Revenue Retention Rate increased by 2.9 percentage points, to 111.1% in the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 from 108.2% in the twelve months ended June 30, 2022. Recurring revenue expansion in the last twelve months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately 0.6 percentage points higher than the last twelve months ended June 30, 2022, and Shrink and Churn in the last twelve months ended June 30, 2023 changed favorably by approximately 2.3 percentage points compared to the last twelve months ended June 30, 2022.
Our LTM Net Revenue Retention Rate increased by 7.7 percentage points, to 113.1% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 from 105.4% in the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 primarily as a result of improvement in the excess usage revenue component of the Net Revenue Retention calculation (i.e. less of an unfavorable impact) due to tapering of the impact of COVID-19. Secondarily, the contracted component of the Net Revenue Retention rate for existing customers improved. In addition, monthly minimum contract revenue for all customers grew by 20.2% from fiscal 2021 to fiscal 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA
41
In addition to net loss presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”), we monitor Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure, to analyze our financial results and believe that it is useful to investors, as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, we use this measure to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies in our industry. We compensate for the inherent limitations associated with using Adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net loss. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (a) depreciation and amortization, (b) long-term equity incentive bonus, (c) stock-based compensation expense, (d) interest income or expense, net, (e) change in the fair value of warrant liability, (f) other income or expense, net, (g) benefit from or provision for income taxes, and (h) other items that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance.
The following table shows a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin Percentage
In addition to gross profit presented in accordance with GAAP, we also monitor non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin percentage. Management uses Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage to evaluate operating performance and to determine resource allocation among our various product offerings. We believe Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage allow for better comparison of our financial results with those of our competitors. We also believe Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage provide useful information to investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures. Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do. U.S. GAAP defines gross profit as revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue includes all expenses associated with our various product offerings as more fully described under the caption “—Components of Results of Operations—Cost of Revenue—” below. We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit after adding back the following items:
•depreciation and amortization;
•long-term equity incentive bonus and stock-based compensation expense; and
•restructuring cost
We add back depreciation and amortization, long-term equity incentive bonus and stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring cost because they are one-time or non-cash items. We eliminate the impact of these one-time or non-cash items because we do not consider them indicative of our core operating performance. Their exclusion facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Therefore, we believe showing Non-GAAP gross margin to remove the impact of these one-time or non-cash expenses is helpful to investors in assessing our gross profit and gross margin performance in a way that is similar to how management assesses our performance.
We calculate Non-GAAP gross margin percentage by dividing Non-GAAP gross profit by revenue, expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive revenue by providing products under a variety of pricing models. Our recently released AI Virtual Agent product and our historical Voice product are provided under a usage-based pricing model with prices calculated on a per-minute basis with a contracted minimum commitment in accordance with the terms of the underlying pricing agreements. Voice is our predominant source of revenue. Other revenue sources are derived from products under the following pricing models:
1)a per “unit of measure” with a minimum commitment (e.g., Speech IQ);
2)the combination of per agent and per “unit of measure” models with minimum contracted commitments for each (e.g., SMS, email, U-CRM services);
3)a per agent pricing model with a minimum agent commitment (e.g., U-Script, U-Ticket, U-Chat, U-Quality Management, U-Screen Capture, U-CSAT, Advanced Analytics, Hosted PBX services); and
4)a per agent pricing model with a minimum agent commitment with a monthly maximum commitment (e.g., Attempt Supervisor, Advanced Analytics).
Outside of Voice, our pricing models detailed above are relatively new to the market and are not yet material to our business from a financial perspective.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue consists of personnel costs and associated costs such as travel, information technology and stock-based compensation for Implementation and Training Services, Customer Care, Technical Support, Professional Services, User Acceptance Quality Assurance, Technical Operations and VoIP services to our customers. Other costs of revenue include non-cash costs associated with depreciation and amortization including acquired technology, charges from telecommunication providers for communications, data center costs and costs to providers of cloud communication services, software, equipment maintenance and support costs to maintain service delivery operations.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed a major strategic milestone when our data center transitioned from a model based on maintaining a co-location facility with our own capital equipment to a 100% cloud strategy based on monthly recurring charges for capacity added in generally small step function increments. As a result, by the end of fiscal 2021 we eliminated our capital expenditures for data center equipment, fully depreciated our old co-location facility and increased our data center costs for our cloud provisioning. A primary factor in our improvement in gross margin from the first quarter of fiscal 2022 has been the optimization of public cloud data center costs and the rationalization and redeployment of duplicative resources. We expect feature release efficiencies for our cloud operations as research and development resources eliminate the release effort associated with our co-location deployment.
As our business grows, we expect to realize economies of scale in our cost of revenue. We use the LiveVox platform to facilitate data-driven innovations to identify and facilitate efficiency improvement to our implementation, customer care and support, and technical operations teams. Additionally, our research and development priorities include ease of implementation, reliability and ease of use objectives that reduce costs and result in economies of scale relative to revenue growth.

Operating Expenses
We classify our operating expenses as sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in sales and marketing, sales commissions, channel special program incentive funds (“SPIFF”) and channel commissions, travel costs, as well as marketing pipeline management, content delivery, programs, campaigns, lead generation, and allocated overhead. We believe it is important to continue investing in sales and marketing to continue to generate revenue growth, and we expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars and fluctuate as a percentage of revenue as we continue to support our growth initiatives.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses, including stock-based compensation, for management, finance and accounting, legal, information systems and human resources personnel, professional fees, compliance costs, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. We expect that general and administrative expenses will fluctuate in absolute dollars from period to period but decline as a percentage of revenue over time.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses, including stock-based compensation, for LiveVox personnel as well as limited outsourced software development resources related to the identification and development of improvements, and expanded features for our products, as well as quality assurance, testing, product management and allocated overhead. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We have not performed research and development for internal-use software that would meet the qualifications for capitalization. We believe it is important to continue investing in research and development to continue to expand and improve our products and generate future revenue growth, and we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars and fluctuate as a percentage of revenue as we continue to support our growth initiatives.

For more information, see Note 19 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Cash
LiveVox’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern for the 12-month period from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s main sources of liquidity include:
•Available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities, which are all classified as short-term securities to fund current operations and may be liquidated at the Company’s discretion if the need arises. The Company held AFS debt securities of $43.7 million and $48.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Please see Note 4 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for more information;
•The term loan and revolving credit facility that the Company entered into with PNC Bank on November 7, 2016 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), which has been amended several times, most recently as of May 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the term loan commitment was $54.5 million, the revolver commitment was $5.0 million and the letter of credit sublimit was $1.5 million. Please see Note 9 and 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for more information.

Cash Requirements
LiveVox’s cash requirements within the next 12 months consist primarily of operating and administrative activities including employee related expenses and general, operating and overhead expenses, current maturities of the Company’s term loan, operating leases, spend commitment and other obligations.
LiveVox’s long-term cash requirements consist of various contractual obligations and commitments, including:
•Term loan – The Company has contractual obligations under its term loan to make principal and interest payments. The principal amount is due December 31, 2025. Please see Note 9 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the contractual obligations under the Company’s term loan and the timing of principal maturities;
•Operating lease obligations – The Company leases its corporate headquarters and worldwide offices under operating leases. Please see Note 8 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for further detail of the Company’s obligations under operating leases and the timing of expected future lease payments;
•Spend commitment – The Company has a non-cancelable minimum spend commitment under a renewed agreement for cloud services in exchange for negotiated discounts on fees for use of eligible services. Please see Note 21 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for further detail of the Company’s spend commitment and the timing of expected future payments;
•Other liabilities – These include other long-term liabilities reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, including obligations associated with certain employee and non-employee incentive plans, Forward Purchase Warrants, unrecognized tax benefits and various long-term liabilities, which have some inherent uncertainty in the timing of these payments.
Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s customer growth rate, customer retention, timing and extent of development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced services offerings, the continuing market acceptance of the Company’s services, effective integration of acquisition activities, if any, and maintaining the Company’s bank credit facility. Additionally, the duration and extent of the impact from the current macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions continues to depend on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time. While those factors have caused operational difficulties, and may continue to create challenges for the Company’s performance, they have not, thus far, had a substantial net impact on the Company’s liquidity position.
The Company believes the cash generated by operating cash flows and debt will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report and beyond, while maintaining sufficient liquidity for normal operating purposes.
Acquisition Opportunities
The Company believes that there may be opportunity for further consolidation in LiveVox’s industry. From time to time, the Company evaluates potential strategic opportunities, including acquisitions of other providers of cloud-based services. The Company has been in, and from time to time may engage in, discussions with counterparties in respect of various potential strategic acquisition and investment transactions. Some of these transactions could be material to the Company’s business and, if completed, could require significant commitments of capital, result in increased leverage or dilution and/or subject the Company to unexpected liabilities. In connection with evaluating potential strategic acquisition and investment transactions, the Company may incur significant expenses for the evaluation and due diligence investigation of these potential transactions.
Comparison of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
The following table summarizes key components of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Net cash used in operating activities
Cash flows used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $10.5 million to cash outflows of $5.9 million from cash outflows of $16.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease to net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to a decrease of $10.9 million in net loss and an increase of $1.0 million in non-cash adjustments to net loss. The increase in non-cash items was primarily attributable to increases in impairment loss on right-of-use asset of $0.5 million associated with the closure of certain underutilized physical offices within the United States, and credit loss expense of $0.5 million due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and all subsequent updates (collectively, the “ASC 326”) on January 1, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities also included a decrease of $1.4 million in cash from operating assets and liabilities, primarily due to the timing of cash payments to vendors and cash receipts from customers.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $4.8 million to cash inflows of $4.7 million from cash outflows of $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase to net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was primarily attributable to an increase of $6.6 million in proceeds from sale of AFS debt securities and an increase of $5.0 million in proceeds from maturities and principal paydowns of AFS debt securities, partially offset by an increase of $7.6 million in purchases of AFS debt securities.
Net cash used in financing activities
Cash flows used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $1.5 million to cash outflows of $2.1 million from cash outflows of $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase to net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to payment of employees’ withholding taxes of $0.8 million on net share settlement of stock-based awards under the 2021 Plan, payment of principal of $0.4 million under a structured payable arrangement related to the Company’s commercial insurance policy on directors and officers, and payment of original issue discount of $0.3 million related to the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Facility that the Company entered into on March 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, period of benefit of deferred sales commissions, allowances for credit losses, fair value of marketable securities, fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets, fair value of incentive awards, fair value of warrants, establishing standalone selling price, valuation of deferred tax assets, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and they are adjusted prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, requiring adjustment to these balances in future periods.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, we believe that the following accounting estimates are critical to our business operations and understanding of our financial results. We consider an accounting judgment, estimate or assumption to be critical when (a) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and (b) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of long-lived assets, including intangible assets
52
Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset and long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. On January 30, 2023, the Company announced the closure of certain underutilized physical offices within the United States as more of the Company’s employees shift to a hybrid or remote work environment. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.5 million to reflect the write-down of the carrying amount excess over the fair value of the right-of-use asset for the offices closed. No impairment losses were recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023 or the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
We perform our annual impairment review of goodwill on October 1 of each year, and when a triggering event occurs between annual impairment tests. In testing for goodwill impairment, the Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, or bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. No impairment losses have been recognized in any of the periods presented.
Intangible assets, consisting of acquired developed technology, corporate name, customer relationships and workforce, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. No impairment losses have been recognized in any of the periods presented.
Allowance for credit losses for marketable securities and accounts receivable
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326 and applied to its AFS debt securities and accounts receivable. ASC 326 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with a current expected credit loss impairment model. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to AFS debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities.
At each reporting date, the Company evaluates the amortized cost of AFS debt securities compared to their fair value to determine whether an AFS debt security is impaired, and, if the fair value is below amortized cost basis, whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers factors such as the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost basis, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security. Credit related unrealized losses are recognized as an allowance for credit losses in the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding charge in other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-credit related unrealized losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), as applicable, net of applicable taxes.
Trade accounts receivable are stated net of any write-offs and the allowance for credit losses, at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral unless a customer has previously defaulted. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents the best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses against the existing accounts receivable, inclusive of unbilled receivables, based on certain factors including the age of the receivable balance, historical write-off experience, past collection experience with the customer, credit quality of the customer, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance for credit losses after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received.
While management believes it has exercised prudent judgment and applied reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that in the future, changes in economic conditions or other factors would not cause changes in the financial health of our marketable security issuers or our customers. If the financial health deteriorates, the timing and amount of payments received could be impacted and therefore, could result in a change to our estimated credit losses.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenue by providing cloud-based contact center products under a usage-based model. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as the customer has continuous access to its hosted technology platform solutions through its data centers and simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits and the Company performs its services. Other immaterial ancillary revenue is derived from call recording, local caller identification packages, performance/speech analytics, text messaging services and professional services billed monthly on primarily usage-based fees, and to a lesser extent, fixed fees. Professional services, which represents approximately 2.0% of revenue, are billed on a fixed-price or on a time and material basis and the revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered.
53
The Company has service-level agreements with customers warranting defined levels of uptime reliability and performance. If the services do not meet certain criteria, fees are subject to adjustment or refund representing a form of variable consideration. The Company records reductions to revenue for these estimated customer credits at the time the related revenue is recognized. These customer credits are estimated based on current and historical customer trends, and communications with its customers. Such customer credits have not been significant to date.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations (e.g., including various combinations of services), the Company allocates the contract price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company generally determines SSP based on the prices charged to customers. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, the Company determines the SSP using information that generally includes market conditions or other observable inputs.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences arising from the temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will be paid or refunds received, as provided for under currently enacted tax law. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained in a court of last resort. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any uncertain tax positions. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefit as a component of income tax expense.
Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
Management Incentive Units
During 2019, LiveVox TopCo, LLC (“LiveVox TopCo”), the sole stockholder of the Company prior to the Merger, established a Management Incentive Unit program whereby the LiveVox TopCo board of directors has the power and discretion to approve the issuance of Class B Units of LiveVox TopCo that represent management incentive units (“MIUs”) to any manager, director, employee, officer or consultant of the Company or its subsidiaries. Vesting begins on the date of issuance, and the MIUs vest ratably over five years with 20% of the MIUs vesting on each anniversary of a specified vesting commencement date, subject to the grantee’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date. Vesting of the MIUs will accelerate upon consummation of a “sale of the company”, which is defined in the LiveVox TopCo limited liability company agreement. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the service condition on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of five years, reduced for actual forfeited MIUs. Stock-based compensation expense for MIUs is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award using a Monte Carlo simulation. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation are holding period, expected share price volatility, discount for lack of marketability, and risk-free interest rate. While the Company believes that the assumptions used in these calculations are reasonable, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions could materially affect the expense related to the Company’s MIUs.
2021 Equity Incentive Plan
On June 16, 2021, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2021 Plan, which became effective upon the closing of the Merger on June 18, 2021. On June 13, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan to clarify that the limitation on the maximum grant date fair value for awards shall apply only to the Company’s non-employee directors. The Company grants RSUs and PSUs to employees, executives, directors, and eligible consultants of the Company. RSUs are subject to service conditions only and typically vest over periods ranging from one to six years based on the grantee’s role in the Company. PSUs, which are granted to certain key employees, vest either based on the achievement of predetermined market conditions, or based on both service and market conditions. All RSUs and PSUs will be settled in shares of Class A common stock and are classified as equity awards. Equity-classified awards are recognized as stock-based compensation expense over an employee’s requisite service period or a non-employee’s vesting period on the basis of the grant date fair value. Generally, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense of RSUs using the straight-line method, and recognizes stock-based compensation expense of PSUs subject to graded market vesting on a tranche-by-tranche basis (i.e., the accelerated attribution method). The fair value of the RSUs is estimated using the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on Nasdaq on the measurement date. The fair value of the PSUs at each measurement date is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation. The key inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation are stock
54
price, expected share price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate, and vesting hurdles. While the Company believes that the assumptions used in these calculations are reasonable, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions could materially affect the expense related to the Company’s 2021 Plan.
Acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether or not the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether or not the Company has acquired inputs and processes that have the ability to create outputs which would meet the definition of a business. Significant judgment is required in the application of the screen test to determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets.
If an acquisition is determined to be a business combination, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
If an acquisition is determined to be an asset acquisition, the cost of the asset acquisition, including transaction costs, is allocated to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a relative fair value basis. If the cost of the asset acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, no gain is recognized in earnings. The excess fair value of the acquired net assets acquired over the consideration transferred is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the identifiable net assets (excluding non-qualifying assets).
Determining estimated fair value requires a significant amount of judgment and estimates. If our assumptions change or errors are determined in our calculations, the fair value could materially change resulting in a change in our goodwill or identifiable net assets acquired.
Public and Forward Purchase Warrants
Immediately following the Merger, the Company assumed 833,333 Forward Purchase Warrants (“Forward Purchase Warrants”) and 12,499,995 public warrants (“Public Warrants”) (collectively the “Warrants”) that had been previously issued by Crescent. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments.
Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company concluded that (a) the Public Warrants meet the derivative scope exception for contracts in the Company’s own stock and are recorded in stockholders’ equity and (b) the Forward Purchase Warrants do not meet the derivative scope exception and are recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon the Merger, with subsequent changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting date. The Forward Purchase Warrants are classified as Level 3 fair value measurement and the fair value is measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Inherent in options pricing models are assumptions related to current stock price, exercise price, expected share price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. While the Company believes that the assumptions used in these calculations are reasonable, changes in assumptions could materially affect the liabilities related to the Warrants.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the balance sheet date included in this Quarterly Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Concentration risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. Risks associated with cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities are mitigated using what the Company considers creditworthy institutions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. Substantially all of LiveVox’s assets are in the United States.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no single issuer represented more than 10% of our marketable securities.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no single customer represented more than 10% of our total accounts receivable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no single customer represented more than 10% of our revenue.
55
The Company relies on third parties for telecommunication, bandwidth, and colocation services that are included in cost of revenue.
As of June 30, 2023, two vendors accounted for approximately 33.4% of our accounts payable. No other single vendor exceeded 10% of our accounts payable at June 30, 2023. At December 31, 2022, one vendor accounted for approximately 37.7% of our accounts payable. No other single vendor exceeded 10% of our accounts payable at December 31, 2022. We believe there could be a material impact on future operating results should a relationship with an existing significant supplier cease.
Interest rate sensitivity
The term loan portion of the Credit Facility is subject to interest rate risk. Effective with the Eighth Amendment entered into on March 31, 2023, the LIBOR benchmark interest rate was replaced with an adjusted SOFR benchmark interest rate. As amended, borrowings under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at a per annum rate, at the Company’s option, based on either (a) a base rate (as defined in the agreement governing the Credit Facility) plus a margin of 4.0% or (b) an adjusted term SOFR (based on one- or three-month interest periods) plus a margin of 5.0%. The Company elected an adjusted SOFR rate at June 30, 2023 and the interest rate for the term loan portion of the Credit Facility was 10.2%. Interest changes affect the fair value of the term loan but the impact on our financial position, cash flows and results of operations was not significant in any period.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company reports its results in U.S. dollars, which is its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. We also have international sales that are denominated in foreign currencies. For these international subsidiaries and customers, the monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, and all non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates in effect on a monthly basis. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (accumulated other comprehensive loss), unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investments, or the adjustment is inconsequential.
We experience fluctuations in transaction gains or losses from remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded. Exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were not significant in any period and are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2023.
Based on management’s evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company 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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
