NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pegasystems Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “the Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited financial statements, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2017.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Stock-Based Compensation

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09 “Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting” to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade accounts receivable, upon initial recognition of that financial asset using a forward-looking expected loss model, rather than an incurred loss model for credit losses. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset, removing the concept of “other-than-temporary” impairments. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets, recognizing a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to this ASU and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption with no material impact to its results of operations and cash flows.

Revenue

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU amends the guidance for revenue recognition, creating the new Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 requires entities to apportion consideration from contracts to performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis, based on a five-step model. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for the good or service. In addition, ASC 606 requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company has elected the full retrospective adoption model, effective January 1, 2018. The Company’s quarterly results beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and comparative prior periods will be compliant with ASC 606. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 will be the Company’s first Annual Report that will be issued in compliance with ASC 606.

PEGASYSTEMS INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

The Company is still in the process of quantifying the implications of the adoption of ASC 606. However the Company expects the following impacts:

 

    Currently, the Company recognizes revenue from term licenses and perpetual licenses with extended payment terms over the term of the agreement as payments become due or earlier if prepaid, provided all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met, and any corresponding maintenance over the term of the agreement. The adoption of ASC 606 will result in revenue for performance obligations being recognized as they are satisfied. Therefore, revenue from the term and perpetual license performance obligations with extended payment terms is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. Revenue from the maintenance performance obligations is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term. Due to the revenue from term and perpetual licenses with extended payment terms being recognized prior to amounts being billed to the customer, the Company expects to recognize a net contract asset on the balance sheet.

 

    Currently, the Company allocates revenue to licenses under the residual method when it has VSOE for the remaining undelivered elements which allocates any future credits or significant discounts entirely to the license. The adoption of ASC 606 will result in the future credits, significant discounts, and material rights under ASC 606, being allocated to all performance obligations based upon their relative selling price. Under ASC 606, additional license revenue from the reallocation of such arrangement considerations will be recognized when control is transferred to the customer.

 

    Currently, the Company does not have VSOE for fixed price services, time and materials services in certain geographical areas, and unspecified future products, which results in revenue being deferred in such instances until such time as VSOE exists for all undelivered elements or recognized ratably over the longest performance period. The adoption of ASC 606 eliminates the requirement for VSOE and replaces it with the concept of a stand-alone selling price. Once the transaction price is allocated to each of the performance obligations, the Company can recognize revenue as the performance obligations are delivered, either at a point in time or over time. Under ASC 606, license revenue will be recognized when control is transferred to the customer.

 

    Sales commissions and other third party acquisition costs resulting directly from securing contracts with customers are currently expensed when incurred. ASC 606 will require these costs to be recognized as an asset when incurred and to be expensed over the associated contract term. As a practical expedient, if the term of the contract is one year or less, the Company will expense the costs resulting directly from securing the contracts with customers as incurred. The Company expects this change to impact its multi-year cloud offerings and term and perpetual licenses with additional rights of use that extend beyond one year.

 

    ASC 606 provides additional accounting guidance for contract modifications whereby changes must be accounted for either as a retrospective change (creating either a catch up or deferral of past revenues), prospectively with a reallocation of revenues amongst identified performance obligations, or prospectively as separate contracts which will not require any reallocation. This may result in a difference in the timing of the recognition of revenue as compared to how current contract modifications are recognized.

 

    There will be a corresponding effect on tax liabilities in relation to all of the above impacts.

The Company has historically used foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated cash, accounts receivable, and intercompany receivables and payables held primarily by the U.S. parent company and its United Kingdom (“U.K.”) subsidiary.

The Company is primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar for the U.S. parent and in the U.S. dollar, the Euro, and the Australian dollar relative to the British pound for the Company’s U.K. subsidiary. The forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. As a result, the Company records the fair value of these contracts at the end of each reporting period in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as other current assets for unrealized gains and accrued expenses for unrealized losses, with any fluctuations in the value of these contracts recognized in other expense, net, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cash flows related to these forward contracts are classified as operating activities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company does not enter into any forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

In May 2017, the Company discontinued its forward contracts program, however, it will continue to periodically evaluate its foreign exchange exposures and may re-initiate this program if it is deemed necessary. At December 31, 2016, the total notional value of the Company’s outstanding forward contracts was $128.4 million.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company records its money market funds, marketable securities, and forward contracts at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for classifying the fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the fair value measurements based on the inputs used in measuring fair value, was established as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (Level 2) significant other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) significant unobservable inputs on which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s marketable securities classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on a market approach using quoted prices, when available, or matrix pricing compiled by third party pricing vendors, using observable market inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, and credit risk. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts, which were all classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, are valued based on the notional amounts and rates under the contracts and observable market inputs such as currency exchange rates and credit risk. If applicable, the Company will recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company granted approximately 954,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 1,441,000 non-qualified stock options to its employees with total fair values of approximately $41.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively. This includes approximately 175,000 RSUs which were granted in connection with the election by employees to receive 50% of their 2017 target incentive compensation under the Company’s Corporate Incentive Compensation Plan in the form of RSUs instead of cash. Stock-based compensation of approximately $7.7 million associated with this RSU grant will be recognized over a one-year period beginning on the grant date.

The Company recognizes stock based compensation on the accelerated recognition method, treating each vesting tranche as if it were an individual grant. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $64.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all unvested RSUs and unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding options and RSUs, using the treasury stock method. Certain shares related to some of the Company’s outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive in the periods presented, but could be dilutive in the future.

12. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND MAJOR CLIENTS

Geographic Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise, about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company develops and licenses software applications for customer engagement and its Pega® Platform, and provides consulting services, maintenance, and training related to its offerings. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale and support of one group of similar products and services—software that provides case management, business process management, and real-time decisioning solutions to improve customer engagement and operational excellence in the enterprise applications market. To assess performance, the Company’s CODM, who is the chief executive officer, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the Company determined it has one reportable segment—Customer Engagement Solutions and one reporting unit.

These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our future financial performance and business plans, the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources, the continued payment of quarterly dividends by the Company, and the timing of revenue recognition under existing license and cloud arrangements and are described more completely in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “target,” “strategy,” “is intended to,” “project,” “guidance,” “likely,” “usually,” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements include, among others, variation in demand for our products and services and the difficulty in predicting the completion of product acceptance and other factors affecting the timing of license revenue recognition; the ongoing consolidation in the financial services, insurance, healthcare, and communications markets; reliance on third party relationships; the potential loss of vendor specific objective evidence for our consulting services; the inherent risks associated with international operations and the continued uncertainties in international economies; foreign currency exchange rates; the financial impact of the Company’s past acquisitions and any future acquisitions; the potential legal and financial liabilities and reputation damage due to cyber-attacks and security breaches; and management of the Company’s growth.

We also provide consulting services, maintenance, and training for our software. Our software applications and Pega Platform can be deployed on Pega, partner, or customer-managed cloud architectures.

Our clients include Global 3000 companies and government agencies that seek to manage complex enterprise systems and customer service issues with greater agility and cost-effectiveness. Our strategy is to sell a client a series of licenses, each focused on a specific purpose or area of operations in support of longer term enterprise-wide digital transformation initiatives.

Our license revenue is primarily derived from sales of our applications and our Pega Platform. Our cloud revenue is derived from the licensing of our hosted Pega Platform and software application environments. Our consulting services revenue is primarily related to new license implementations.

Financial and Performance Metrics

To provide additional insight into how management evaluates our financial performance, we have used a number of performance metrics to supplement our selected financial metrics. These performance metrics are periodically revisited to reflect any changes in our business. Historically, Recurring Revenue and License and Cloud Backlog have been our primary performance metrics. However, due to the change in the revenue recognition patterns of term license arrangements as a result of the expected implementation of the new revenue accounting standard (ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”) in the first quarter of 2018, we have started tracking the performance measure Annualized Contract Value (“ACV”). The change in ACV measures the growth and predictability of future cash flows from committed term license, cloud, and maintenance arrangements as of the end of the particular reporting period. Additional information about our future adoption of the new revenue standard and its impact can be found in Note 2. “New Accounting Pronouncements” contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The increase in recurring revenue was primarily driven by increased term license revenue recognized from term backlog and a large term license renewal for which the first year of the term was prepaid and recognized as revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in term revenue would have been greater if not for a large term deal greater than $10 million for which the license fee for the full license term was recognized in the first quarter of 2016.

License and Cloud Backlog

A measure of the continued growth of our business as a result of future contractual commitments by our clients.

It is computed by adding deferred license and cloud revenue recorded on the balance sheet (See Note 9 “Deferred Revenue”) and client license and cloud contractual commitments, which are not recorded on our balance sheet because we have not yet invoiced our clients, nor have we recognized the associated revenues (See “Future Cash Receipts from Committed License and Cloud Arrangements” which can be found in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information). License and cloud backlog may vary in any given period depending on the amount and timing of when the arrangements are executed, as well as the mix between perpetual, term, and cloud license arrangements, which may depend on our clients’ deployment preferences.

Annualized Contract Value (“ACV” )

The change in ACV measures the growth and predictability of future cash flows from committed term license, cloud, and maintenance arrangements as of the end of the particular reporting period.

ACV is the sum of the following two components:

 

    Term and Cloud contract value divided by the number of committed contract years

 

    Quarterly Maintenance revenue reported for the three months ended multiplied by 4.

Critical accounting policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and expectations of what could occur in the future given available information.

The mix between perpetual and term license arrangements executed in a particular period varies based on client needs. A change in the mix may cause our revenues to vary materially from period to period. A higher proportion of term license arrangements executed would generally result in more license revenue being recognized over longer periods. Additionally, some of our perpetual license arrangements include extended payment terms or additional rights of use, which may also result in the recognition of revenue over longer periods.

The decrease in perpetual license revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a lower percentage of perpetual arrangements executed and recognized in revenue in the current period and a decrease in the average value of perpetual arrangements executed. The increase in perpetual license revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the higher value of perpetual arrangements executed and higher percentage of perpetual arrangements recognized in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The increase in term license revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to an increase in revenue from term license backlog and a large term license renewal for which the first year of the term was prepaid and recognized as revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in term license revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to revenue from term license backlog and a term license renewal for which the first year of the term was prepaid and recognized as revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017, partially offset by the effect of a large three year term license arrangement which was paid in advance and recognized in full in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The aggregate value of future revenue expected to be recognized under all noncancellable perpetual licenses was $39.9 million as of June 30, 2017 compared to $31.4 million as of June 30, 2016. We expect to recognize $14.6 million of the $39.9 million as revenue during the remainder of 2017. The aggregate value of future revenue expected to be recognized under all noncancellable term and cloud licenses was $422.4 million as of June 30, 2017 compared to $309.3 million as of June 30, 2016. We expect to recognize $57.1 million of the $422.4 million as revenue during the remainder of 2017.

Consulting services revenue is primarily generated from new license implementations. Our consulting services revenue may fluctuate in future periods depending on the mix of new implementation projects we perform as compared to those performed by our enabled clients or led by our partners.

The increases in consulting services revenue were primarily due to higher billable hours during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 driven by a large project which began in the second half of 2016.

Cloud revenue represents revenue from our Pega Cloud offerings. The increases in cloud revenue were primarily due to continued growth of our cloud client base.

Table of Contents

Selling and marketing expenses include compensation, benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with our selling and marketing personnel as well as advertising, promotions, trade shows, seminars, and other programs. Selling and marketing expenses also include the amortization of customer related intangibles.

The increase in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits of $3 million and $10.7 million, respectively, driven by increased head count and equity compensation partially offset by decreases in brand marketing program expenses of approximately $2.2 million in both periods.

The increase in headcount reflects our efforts to increase our sales capacity to target new accounts in existing industries, as well as to expand coverage in new industries and geographies and to increase the number of our sales opportunities.

In May 2017, we discontinued our forward contracts program, however, we will continue to evaluate periodically our foreign exchange exposures and may re-initiate this program if it is deemed necessary.

Historically, we have used foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated cash, accounts receivable, and intercompany receivables and payables held by our U.S. parent company in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and by our U.K. subsidiary in currencies other than the British pound. These forward contracts were not designated as hedging instruments. As a result, we record the fair value of the outstanding contracts at the end of the reporting period in our consolidated balance sheet, with any fluctuations in the value of these contracts recognized in other income (expense), net. See Note 4 “Derivative Instruments” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for discussion of our use of forward contracts.

The total change in the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts recorded in other income (expense), net, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was a gain of $0.6 million and loss of $1.4 million, respectively. The total change in the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts recorded in other income (expense), net, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was a gain of $0.3 million and a loss of $3.7 million.

Effective income tax rate

The (benefit)/provision for income taxes represents current and future amounts for federal, state, and foreign taxes.

The decrease in the effective income tax rate in the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to the significant increase of $10.2 million in excess tax benefits generated by our stock compensation plans on significantly lower income before (benefit)/provision for income taxes, which decreased by $3.9 million.

The decrease in the effective income tax rate in the six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to the significant increase of $15.7 million in excess tax benefits generated by our stock compensation plans, partially offset by higher income before (benefit)/provision for income taxes, which increased $14.4 million.

Table of Contents

The inclusion of excess tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes may increase volatility in future effective tax rates as the amount of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation awards is dependent upon our future stock price in relation to the fair value of awards, the timing of RSU vesting and exercise behavior of our stock option holders, and future grants of share-based compensation awards.

Total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities

   $ 180,040      $ 133,761  

The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the $74.2 million increase in cash provided by operating activities driven by the $42.1 million increase in cash provided by trade accounts receivable, largely due to the increase in cash collections and the timing of billings, and a $23.5 million increase in net income.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, our dividend payments, and our share repurchase program for at least the next 12 months.

We evaluate acquisition opportunities from time to time, which if pursued, could require use of our funds. On April 11, 2016, we acquired OpenSpan for $48.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired. As of June 30, 2017, $7.4 million of the cash consideration remained in escrow and will act as security for the indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders through October 2017. We paid $0.3 million during both the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, representing additional cash consideration to the selling shareholders of one of the three companies acquired in 2014 based on the achievement of certain performance milestones.

As of June 30, 2017, approximately $56.9 million of our cash and cash equivalents was held in our foreign subsidiaries. If it becomes necessary to repatriate these funds, we may be required to pay U.S. tax, net of any applicable foreign tax credits, upon repatriation. We consider the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested and, as a result, U.S. taxes on such earnings are not provided. It is impractical to estimate the amount of U.S. tax we could have to pay upon repatriation due to the complexity of the foreign tax credit calculations. There can be no assurance that changes in our plans or other events affecting our operations will not result in materially accelerated or unexpected expenditures.

Cash provided by operating activities

The primary drivers during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were net income of $38.4 million and $53 million from trade accounts receivable, largely due to the increase in cash collections and the timing of billings.

The primary driver during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was net income of $14.9 million.

Cash used in investing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we purchased $16.7 million of marketable debt securities and made investments of $5 million in property and equipment, partially offset by proceeds received from maturities of marketable debt securities (including called marketable debt securities) of $20.8 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we made investments of $11.5 million in internally developed software and leasehold improvements at our corporate headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We acquired OpenSpan for $48.8 million in cash, net of $1.8 million in cash acquired, which was funded through the sales of marketable debt securities of $52.5 million.

Cash used in financing activities

We used cash primarily for repurchases of our common stock, share repurchases for tax withholdings for the net settlement of our equity awards, and the payment of our quarterly dividend.

Since 2004, our Board of Directors has approved annual stock repurchase programs that have authorized the repurchase in the aggregate of up to $195 million of our common stock. Purchases under these programs have been made on the open market.

The following table is a summary of our repurchase activity under all of our repurchase programs:

In addition to the share repurchases made under our repurchase programs, we net settled the majority of our employee stock option exercises and RSU vestings, which resulted in the withholding of shares to cover the option exercise price and the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, option and RSU holders net settled a total of 2 million shares and 1.1 million shares, respectively, of which only 1 million shares and 0.6 million shares, respectively, were issued to the option and RSU holders. The balance of the shares were surrendered to us to pay for the exercise price with respect to options and the applicable taxes for both options and RSUs. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, instead of receiving cash from the equity holders, we withheld shares with a value of $27.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively, for withholding taxes, and $20.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the exercise price of options.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any forward contracts outstanding. See Note 4 “Derivative Instruments” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Other than the item discussed above, there were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the first six months ended June 30, 2017. See Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a more complete discussion of our market risk exposure.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, 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) as of June 30, 2017. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We encourage you to carefully consider the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and future results and could cause our actual business and financial results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or elsewhere by management from time to time. There have been no material changes during the six months ended June 30, 2017 to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
