ZIX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Zix Corporation (“Zix,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of providing information with respect to the covered interim periods.

Management of the Company believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for such periods have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the threethree- and nine monthnine-month periods ended September 30, 2019,2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods or for the full fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates and assumptions take into account historical and forward-looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) and public and private sector policies and initiatives aimed at reducing its transmission. As the extent and duration of the impacts of the COVID-19 remain unclear, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

 

2. Recent Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

LeasesCredit Losses

On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments with a net increase of our receivables allowance and a related cumulative adjustment to our retained earnings recorded at the beginning of adoption. Upon adoption, we changed our impairment model to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (CECL) model in place of the incurred loss impairment model for our accounting receivable balance. The cumulative effect adjustment from adoption was immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other

In February 2016,January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 842). Topic 842350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04) to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires companiesa hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to generally recognize onexceed the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. We elected the available practical expedients and adopted ASC 842carrying amount of goodwill. The accounting standard became effective for us beginning January 1, 2019, prospectively. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of right-to-use assets2020, and lease liabilities of $4.8 million and $6.0 million, with nodid not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations andor cash flows. See below Note 6 “Leases"

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for additional information regardingIncome Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2021 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our leases.

ThePrior to January 1, 2020, accounts receivable were recorded at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts includes all specificaccounts. We maintained an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable which we believefor estimated losses resulting from the failure or inability of our customers to make required payments. Subsequent to January 1, 2020, accounts receivable are likely not collectiblerecorded at cost less an allowance for credit losses. We estimate losses on receivables at the reporting date based on expected losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments, including our historical experience of actual losses and the aging of such receivables. These receivables have been pooled by shared risk characteristics. Based on known information. information we may also establish specific reserves for customers in an adverse financial condition or adjust our expectations of changes in conditions that may impact the collectability of outstanding receivables.

As of September 30, 2020, based on available information to date, the Company assessed no material impact related to potential losses caused by COVID-19.

The reduction for the unpaid portion of deferred revenue represents future customer service or maintenance obligations whichthat have been billed to customers, but remain unpaid as of the respective balance sheet dates. Deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheets represents future customer service or maintenance obligations whichthat have been billed and collected as of the respective balance sheet dates.

 

The note receivable represents the remaining outstanding balance of an original note related to the sale of a product line in 2005 in the amount of $540 thousand. This was fully reserved at the time of the sale, as the note’s collectability was not assured. The note receivable is fully reserved at September 30, 2019.2020.


 

6. Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, which requires recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the Company's leasing arrangements are also required. The Company adopted ASC 842 prospectively and elected the package of transition practical expedients that does not require reassessment of (1) whether any existing or expired contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. In addition, the Company has elected other available practical expedients to not separate lease and nonlease components, which consist principally of common area maintenance charges, for all classes of underlying assets and to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

 

The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for office spaces and data centers and finance leases for equipment. The Company has entered into lease contracts ranging from 1 to 1213 years with the majority of leases having terms one to seven years, many of which include options to extend in various increments. Variable lease costs consist primarily of variable common area maintenance, taxes, insurance, parking and utilities. The Company’s leases do not have any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

 

As the implicit rate is not readily determinable for most of the Company’s lease agreements, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate to determine the initial present value of lease payments. These discount rates for leases are calculated using the Company's weighted average interest rate of the term loan and delayed draw term loan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into an operating lease for an additional data center, which has not yet commenced and is expected to be added as a lease liability at a value of approximately $109 thousand. This operating lease is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2020 with a lease term of 3 years. Additionally, we modified one of our office leases which resulted a write-off of right-of-use assets and lease liability at a value of approximately $438 thousand and $570 thousand, respectively, and a gain of $132 thousand recognized as other income for the three month period ended September 30, 2020.


7. Long-term Debt

 

On February 20, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders and SunTrust Bank as administrative agent, which (1) providedprovides for borrowing in the form of a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $175 million (the “Term Loan”), (2) providedprovides for a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $10 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”), and (3) providedprovides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million, up to $5 million of which is available for letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). On February 20, 2019, the Term Loan was borrowed in full to pay a portion of the purchase price in connection with the AppRiver acquisition (described below in Note 16 “Acquisitions”), including (including certain fees, costs and expenses related thereto.thereto). On May 2, 2019, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility was borrowed in full to pay a portion of the purchase price in connection with the DeliverySlip acquisition (described below in Note 16 “Acquisitions”), including (including certain fees, costs and expenses related thereto.thereto). As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an outstanding debt balance of $8.0 million attributable to the Revolving Facility. The Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all the assets of Zix and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and guaranteed by substantially all of Zix’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.

 

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the adjusted LIBO rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% or (2) the alternate base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%. The applicable margin varies depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio.

 

The Credit Facilities are scheduled to mature on February 20, 2024, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes procedures for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its commitments thereunder, subject to the limits and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.  

 

Optional prepayments of borrowings under the Credit Facilities are permitted at any time and do not require any prepayment premium (other than reimbursement of the lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of LIBO rate borrowings).

 

The Credit Agreement contains various financial, operational, and legal covenants. The financial covenant is tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The financial covenant requires the Company to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio of:

 

5.50:1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019;

The non-financial covenants restrict the Company’s ability and the ability of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness, incur liens, merge with or acquire other entities, make investments, dispose of assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, make dividends, distributions or stock repurchases, prepay junior indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into restrictive agreements, and amend organizational documents or the terms of junior indebtedness.

 

The Credit Agreement contains events of default that Zix believes are customary for a secured credit facility. If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs, all obligations under the Credit Agreement will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the Credit Agreement, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the Credit Facilities and exercise other rights and remedies, including foreclosure or other actions against the collateral. If any default exists under the Credit Agreement, or if the Company is unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement at the applicable time, Zix will be unable to borrow additional funds or have letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement.

 

On November 5, 2020, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to, among other things, borrow an incremental $35.0 million term loan. See Note 17 – Subsequent Events for more information.

Term Loan

 

As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had $174.1$172.4 million in principal outstanding under the Term Loan. The Term Loan was fully drawn on February 20, 2019 in the amount of $175 million and requires quarterly payments of principal of $437.5 thousand beginning on June 30, 2019. In addition to other customary mandatory prepayment requirements, the Term Loan requires annual prepayments based on a percentage of Zix’s excess cash flow, which percentage will reduce if Zix’s total net leverage ratio decreases. Based on the calculation of excess cash flow and total net leverage ratio and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company is not required to make prepayment in addition to the quarterly installment.

 


At September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had an outstanding debt balance of $168.3$167.8 million attributable to the Term Loan based on the 6.55%4.39% interest rate in effect during the three-month period from February 20, 2019 throughended on September 30, 2019.2020.

The Company also has a Revolving Facility with the lenders, pursuant to which the lenders agreed to make a Revolving Facility available to the Company in an aggregate amount of up to $25 million. Proceeds from the Revolving Facility may be used for working capital and general business purposes, including the financing of permitted acquisitions, investments and restricted payments, subject to the conditions contained in the Credit Agreement. Zix is charged a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per year on the daily amount of the unused portions of the commitments under the Revolving Facility.

 


As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had an outstanding debt balance of $8.0 million attributable to the Revolving Facility wasFacility. The undrawn andbalance of $17 million is available to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes, including the financing of permitted acquisitions, investments and restricted payments, subject to the conditions contained in the Credit Agreement.  As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company has accrued $73incurred $19 thousand and $62 thousand of commitment fees, and $72 thousand and $214 thousand of interest expense, for the periodthree- and nine-month periods ended on September 30, 2019.2020, respectively.

 

As of September 2019,30, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Credit Facilities approximated their carrying value and the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement.

8. Preferred Stock

 

On February 20, 2019, (the “Original Issuance Date” or “Closing Date”), Zix consummated a private placement pursuant to an investment agreement with an investment fund managed by True Wind Capital and issued an aggregate of $100 million of shares of convertible Preferred Stock (as defined below) at a price of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”). 64,914 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) were issued for proceeds of $62.7 million, net of issuance costs of $2.3 million, and 35,086 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”) were issued for proceeds of $33.9 million, net of issuance costs of $1.2 million. The Preferred Stock is classified outside of stockholders’ equity in temporary equity because the shares contain certain redemption features whichthat require redemption upon a change in control. The Series A Preferred Stock can be immediately converted to common stock.

 

On June 5, 2019, Shareholders approved the conversion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock was converted into the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the liquidation preference of such share of Series B Preferred Stock divided by the accreted value of a share of Series A Preferred Stock on the date of conversion plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. On June 6, 2019, all the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 35,292 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2020, 0 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding.  

 

The conversion option of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined to have a beneficial conversion feature. As of September 30, 2019, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $2.5 million, excluding the additional beneficial conversion feature accrued for the deemed dividend during the quarter then ended, and was recorded to additional paid-in capital and as a discount to the Series A Preferred Stock. This resulting discount was immediately amortized as the Series A Preferred Stock has no set redemption date but is currently convertible.

 

Dividends

 

The Stated Value of the Series A Preferred Stock accretes at a fixed rate of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly (“Series A Preferred Dividend”). Apart from the Series A Preferred Dividend, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to receive any dividends paid on our common stock on an "as converted" basis. No dividend may be paid on our common stock until such dividend is paid on the Series A Preferred Stock. All calculations of the Accreted Value (as defined below) of Series A Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

As of September 30, 2019,2020, the accretion of the Stated Value of Series A Preferred Stock is valued at $4.1 million, including the accretion attributable to the converted Series A Preferred Stock from Series B Preferred Stock, and the accretion of the beneficial conversion feature is valued at $89 thousand. As of June 6, 2019, the accrued dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock, valued at $1.2 million, was converted to Series A Preferred Stock along with the Stated Value of the Series B Preferred Stock. Upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock to Series A Preferred Stock on June 6, 2019, all remaining dividend calculations are based on the terms of the Series A Preferred Dividend for the converted Series A Preferred Stock.$12.7 million.

   


 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, together with the holders of common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of our common stock. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted. The vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding will be necessary for effecting or validating any of the following actions: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of Zix’s Articles of Incorporation or Series A Certification of Designations that would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or power of the Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) any amendment or alteration to Zix’s Articles of Incorporation or any other action to authorize or create, or increase the number of authorized or issued shares of capital stock of the Company convertible into shares of, or ranking senior to, or on a parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or liquidation rights; (iii) the issuance of shares of Series A


Preferred Stock after the Original Issuance Date other than in connection with the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock that was issued on the Original Issuance Date; (iv) any action that would cause the Company to cease to be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and (v) the incurrence of any indebtedness of the Company that would cause Zix to exceed a specified leverage ratio.

 

Liquidation Preference

 

The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value per share as it has accreted as of such date (the “Accreted Value”) and (ii) the amount such holder would have received if the Series A Preferred Stock had converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation.

Conversion

 

At any time, each Series A Preferred Stock holder may elect to convert each share of such holders’ then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into (i) the number of shares of common stock equal to the product of (a) the Accreted Value with respect to such share on the conversion date multiplied by (b) the conversion rate (initially 166.11)(currently166.11) as of the applicable conversion date divided by (c) 1,000 plus (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares.

 

Optional Redemption by Zix

 

At any time after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, Zix may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Accreted Value per share of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed as of the applicable redemption date multiplied by 1.50.  

 

9. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Accounting policies

Our Company provides message security solutions as subscription services in which we recognize revenue as our services are rendered. Historically, our contracts have typically been one to three year contracts billed annually. We are increasingly moving toward a monthly billing model. This shift has been largely driven by our recent acquisition activity, including AppRiver. We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by our companyCompany from a customer  (e.g., sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes).

Disaggregation of Revenue

We operate as a single operating segment. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluding our AppRiver and Erado sales,2020, we recorded revenue for our services in the following core industry verticals: 46%21% healthcare, 29%17% financial services, 7%3% government sector, and 18%59% as other.


We operate as a single operating segment. Revenue generated from our email protection services represented 100% of our revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Further, we sell our solutions as a bundle, applying significant judgement to allocate transaction prices of our services based on the standalone selling price of our component services.

Contract balances

Our contract assets include our accounts receivables, discussed above in Footnote 5 “Receivables, net”, and the deferred cost associated with commissions earned by our sales team on securing new, add-on, and renewal contract orders. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, we increased our noncurrent deferred contract asset by $1.9$1.3 million and $4.5$3.4 million, respectively, resulting from commissions earned by our sales team during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020. We also amortized $837$944 thousand and $2.3$2.7 million of deferred cost, respectively as a selling and marketing expense in the related periods. Our deferred cost asset is assessed for impairment on a periodic basis. There were no0 impairment losses recognized on deferred contract cost assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020.

Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue representing future customer services whichthat have been billed and collected. The $12.4 million increase$923 thousand decrease to our net deferred revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, is attributedrelated to AppRiver, acquiredthe timing of orders and payments in February 2019. See below Note 16 “Acquisitions” for additional information regardingthe normal course of business and our AppRiver acquisition.  continued trend toward monthly subscriptions.


Performance obligations

As of September 30, 2019,2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction prices allocated to remaining service performance obligations, which represents the transaction price of firm orders less inception to date revenue, was $90.7$85.0 million. We expect to recognize approximately $26.5$26.7 million of revenue related to this backlog during the remainder of 2019, $41.32020, $41.7 million in 2020,2021, and $22.9$16.5 million in periods thereafter.

Approximately $27.6$26.6 million of our $47.8$54.8 million revenue recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, was included in our performance obligation balance at the beginning of the period. Approximately $40.0$54.1 million of our $123.0$160.6 million revenue recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, was included in our performance obligation balance at the beginning of the period.

11. Commitments and contingenciesContingencies  

We have not entered into any material, non-cancelable purchase commitments at September 30, 2019.2020.

Claims and Proceedings

We are from time to time involved in legal claims, litigation, and other legal proceedings. Although we may incur significant expenses in those matters, we expect no material adverse effect on our operations or financial results from current or concluded legal proceedings.

 


 

12. Fair Value Measurements

FASB guidance regarding fair value measurement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable, the fair values approximate the carrying values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying values of other current assets and accrued expenses are also not recorded at fair value, but approximate fair values primarily due to their short-term nature.


The Company recorded a $2.3 million liability for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration in our DeliverySlip acquisition. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent payment based on the probability of completion of certain agreed upon requirements. Any changes to the variables and assumptions could significantly impact the estimated fair values recorded for the liability, resulting in significant changes to the Condensed Consolidated States of Operations. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents Level 3 measurement, which reflect the Company’s own assumptions concerning the achievement of the sales milestones in measuring the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent liability.

The following table represents a reconciliation of our acquisition-related contingent earn-out liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, using Level 3 inputs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019:

Our 2018 acquisition of Erado resulted in the increase to our goodwill in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our acquisition adjustments to goodwill in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, reflect the appropriate reallocation of excess purchase price from goodwill to acquired assets and liabilities related to our Greenview and Entelligence Messaging Server purchases completed in 2017. See below Note 16 “Acquisitions” for additional information regarding our acquisitions.

 

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or when there is a reason to believe that the value has been diminished or impaired. There were no0 impairments to goodwill during the periods presented above.

 

 

14. Common Stock Repurchase ProgramOther Comprehensive Loss

On April 24, 2017,

The assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated from the Company’s boardrespective local currency to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Our Consolidated Statement of directors approvedComprehensive Loss of international subsidiaries are translated from the local currency to the U.S. dollar using average exchange rates for the period. Related translation adjustments are recorded as a share repurchase program that enabledcomponent of the Companyaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

We are exposed to purchase up to $10 millionfluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates as a result of its shares of common stock. The share repurchase program expired on May 31, 2018. As such, no shares of common stock were repurchased duringour net investments and operations in Canada, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Spain. For the three and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2019 or during2020, movements in currency exchange rates and the three month period ended September 30, 2018. Duringrelated impact on the nine month period ended September 30, 2018,translation of the Company repurchased  1,206,994 sharesbalance sheets of our common stock under this program at an aggregate costforeign subsidiaries was the primary cause of $5.4 million.    our foreign currency translation gain of $493 thousand and loss of $118 thousand, respectively.

 

 


15. Income Taxes

The operating losses incurred by the Company’s U.S. operations in past years and the resulting net operating losses for U.S. Federal tax purposes are subject to a $23.1$23.0 million reserve. Any reduction to this $23.1$23.0 million valuation allowance is based on an assessment of future utilization following accounting guidance, which relies largely on historical earnings. Using this methodology, and updating the future taxable earnings estimates based on first, second and third quarter 20192020 actual earnings, the Company believes the deferred tax asset allowance as of December 31, 2018,2019, will remain unchanged at December 31, 2019.2020. For this reason, the Company has recognized its first, second and third quarter 20192020 federal deferred tax provision in full. If in prospective periods we conclude our future U.S. federal taxable estimate established at the end of the year will exceed the prior year estimate, the Company will offset its federal deferred tax provision by reducing its valuation allowance by an equal amount, thereby eliminating from its deferred tax provision federal taxes from the Company’s financial statements. The Company will continue to reevaluate the need for its valuation allowance each quarter, following the same assessment methodology described above. AdjustingAn increase or decrease to our valuation allowance could have a significant impact on operating results for each period that it becomes more likely than not that an additional portion of our deferred tax assets will or will not be realized.

 

 


16. Acquisitions

 

Acquisition of DeliverySlip

On May 7, 2019, the Company acquired certain assets of Cirius Messaging Inc. (“Seller”) and its wholly owned subsidiary DeliverySlip Inc.(“DeliverySlip”), related to the DeliverySlip product for a total purchase price of $13.8 million, including cash consideration of $11.4 million and a contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $2.3 million at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration was paid in full upon the completion of certain agreed upon requirements and a related $0.2 million loss on the contingent consideration was recognized in the three month periodyear ended September 30,December 31, 2019. Included in the cash consideration, a holdback amount of $1.5 million was transferred to an escrow agent for the satisfaction of the Seller’s indemnity and other obligations under the purchase agreement.

Acquisition of AppRiver Companies

On February 20, 2019, Zix acquired 100% of the equity interest of AR Topco, LLC and its subsidiaries, including AppRiver LLC (“AppRiver” and collectively, the “AppRiver Companies”), for a total purchase price of $277.7$276.4 million, following a working capital adjustment. The purchase price includedincluding cash consideration of $273.1$271.8 million, net of cash acquired.acquired , and subject to a customary working capital adjustment. This acquisition complements our strategy to accelerate our offerings into the cloud at the point of initial cloud application purchase and expand our customer base.

We financed the acquisition with proceeds from (1) cash on hand, (2) the proceeds from the Term Loan,  and (3) a private placement with an investment fund managed by True Wind Capital consisting of (i) 64,914 newly issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share, and (ii) 35,086 newly issued shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $1.00 par value per share in exchange for cash consideration in an aggregate amount of $100 million (which was reduced by $3 million in True Wind Capital’s costs that were reimbursed by the Company).


AppRiver is a channel-first provider of cloud-based cyber security and productivity services, offering web protection, email encryption, secure archiving, and email continuity solutions. AppRiver also provides Microsoft Office 365 and Secure Hosted Exchange services, which serve as an effective lead generation tool for AppRiver’s solutions. The acquisition of AppRiver can accelerate our offerings into the cloud at the point of initial cloud application purchase. Because AppRiver currently services over 60,000 worldwide customers using a network of 4,500 Managed Service Providers, this acquisition can also help us expand our customer base.

The Company incurred $9.2$10.8 million in acquisition-related costs which included $1.1 million, $9.6 million and $8.1 million$41 thousand recorded within the operating expenses for the threetwelve months ended December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively. Revenue from AppRiver was $28.7$35.2 and $66.8$101.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, and due to the continued integration of the combined businesses, it was impracticable to determine earnings attributable to AppRiver.

We accounted for the acquisition as the purchase of a business and recorded the excess purchase price as goodwill. The goodwill from this transaction is not yet finalized. The majority of the goodwill balance is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets we acquired from AppRiver consist of customer relationships, vendor relationships, trademarks/names, and internally developed software, which we are amortizing over 8 years, 3 years, 10 years, and 5-6 years, respectively. The results of operations and the provisional fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since theour AppRiver acquisition closed on February 20, 2019.

Erado

On April 2, 2018, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of CM2.COM, Inc., d/b/a Erado (“Erado”) for a total purchase price of $14.4 million, including cash consideration of $11.8 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase of Erado strengthens Zix’s comprehensive archiving solutions with unified archiving, supervision, security, and messaging solutions for customers that demand bundled services. Erado’s long standing focus on helping its customers comply with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and SEC regulations will help further strengthen Zix’s offering for customers with compliance requirements. This acquisition also expands Zix’s cloud-based email archiving capabilities into more than 50 content channels, including social medial, instant message, mobile, web, audio, and video.

The purchase price includes a holdback of $2.3 million for the satisfaction of certain indemnification claims by the Company, if any, during the two-year period following the closing of the acquisition. An amount equal to $1.1 million of the holdback amount was released to the selling shareholders on the one year anniversary of the closing of the acquisition. The remaining balance of the holdback amount, if any, will be distributed to the Selling Shareholders following the two year anniversary of the closing of the acquisition.

The Company incurred $334 thousand in acquisition-related costs which were recorded within operating expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

We accounted for the acquisition as the purchase of a business and recorded the excess purchase price as goodwill. The goodwill from this transaction is deductible for tax purpose. The intangible assets we acquired from Erado consist of trademarks, internally developed software, and customer relationships, which we are amortizing over an estimated useful life of 5 years, 10 years, and 15 years, respectively. The results of operations and the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the April 2, 2018 acquisition date. Revenue from Erado was $952 thousand and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Due to the continued integration of the combined businesses, it was impracticable to determine the earnings attributable to Erado.

Overview

Zix® is a leading provider of cloud email security, productivity and compliance solutions. Trusted by the nation’s most influential institutions in healthcare, finance and government, Zix delivers a superior experience and easy-to-use solutions for email encryption and data loss prevention (“DLP”), advanced threat protection archiving, and bring your own device (“BYOD”) mobile security. Focusingarchiving. As a leading provider of cloud-based cybersecurity, compliance, and productivity solutions for businesses of all sizes, we are focused on the protection of business communication, Zix enables itsenabling our customers to better secure data and meet compliance needs. We serve organizations in many industries, with particular emphasis on the healthcare (including multiple major hospitals and several Blue Cross Blue Shield plans), financial services (including several U.S. Banks), and insurance and government sectors, including U.S. federal financial regulators— such as members of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, divisions of the U.S. Treasury,(including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”(the “SEC”), more than 30% of U.S. banks, more than 30% of Blue Cross Blue Shield plans and more than 1,200 U.S. hospitals.) sectors.

ZixEncryptSM (formerly ZixGateway® and ZixQuarantine®) bundlesOur email encryption and DLP capabilities to enable the secure exchange of email that includes sensitive information. Through a comprehensive secure messaging service, ZixEncrypt allowscalled Email Encryption (formerly ZixEncrypt), we allow an enterprise to use policy-driven rules to determine which email messages should be sent securely or quarantined for review to comply with regulations or company-defined policies.

The main differentiation for ZixEncryptEmail Encryption in the marketplace is our exceptional ease of use. The best example of this is our ability to provide transparent delivery of encrypted email. Most email encryption solutions are focused on the sender. They typically introduce an added burden on recipients, often requiring additional user authentication with the creation of a new user identity and password. We designed our solution to alleviate the recipient’s burden by enabling the delivery of encrypted email automatically and transparently. Zix enables transparent delivery bythrough (1) ZixDirectory®The Directory (formerly ZixDirectory®), the world’s largest email encryption community which is designed to share identities of our tens of millions of members, (growing by approximately 170,000 members per week), (2) Zix’s patented Best Method of Delivery®Delivery®, which is designed to deliver email in the most secure, most convenient method possible for the recipient, and (3) ZixEncrypt,Email Encryption, which automatically encrypts and decrypts messages with sensitive content. The result is secure, transparent encrypted email, such that secure email can be exchanged without any impact to administrators or extra steps for both senders and recipients. Zix delivers more than 1.5 million encrypted messages on a typical business day. Of those messages, approximately 70% are exchanged transparently between senders and recipients.

ZixEncryptOur Email Encryption also addresses a business’s greatest source of data loss – corporate email– with an easy, straightforward DLP approach. By focusing strictly on the risks of email, ZixEncryptEmail Encryption simplifies DLP in comparison to other DLP solutions by decreasing complexity and cost, reducing deployment time from months to hours and minimizing impact on customer resources and workflow. In addition, Zix offers a convenient experience for both employees interacting with our solution and administrators managing the system.

ZixEncryptOur Email Encryption solution enables DLP capabilities for email by combining proven policy and content scanning capabilities with quarantine functionality. The quarantine system and its intuitive interface allow administrators to (1) easily define policies and create custom lexicons for quarantining email messages, (2) conveniently manage quarantined messages using flexible searching and filtering options, (3) release or delete individual or multiple quarantined messages with one click, (4) review reports that monitor quarantine activities and trends and (5) automate custom notifications informing employees of quarantined messages.


ZixEncryptEmail Encryption from Zix also provides greater visibility into an organization’s data risks in email by capturing data in outbound emails and highlighting violations that trigger policy filters to encrypt or quarantine. Through our interactive, real-time interface, companies can monitor their greatest vulnerabilities, generate reports for business executives and train employees about the sensitivity of their company’s data.

ZixEncryptThe solution is available as a hosted solution, as a multi-tenant solution, or as a physical or virtual on-premises appliance.

In March 2017, Zix acquired Greenview Data, Inc. (“Greenview”), an email security company. Zix’s acquisition of Greenview addresses increasing buyer demand for email security bundles by adding advanced threat protection, antivirus, anti-spam and archiving capabilities to its industry-leading email encryption. Greenview iswas a good fit for Zix’s business based on its employees’ expertise in email security and its emphasis on customer success, which align with Zix’s reputation for delivering industry-leading solutions and a superior experience.

Through the acquisition of Greenview, Zix launched two new solutions in April 2017 – ZixProtectSM and ZixArchiveSM.  ZixProtect is now called Advanced Email Threat Protection while ZixArchive is called Information Archive. Advanced Email Threat Protection defends organizations from zero-day malware, ransomware, phishing, CEO fraud, W-2 phishing attacks, spam and viruses in email with multi-layer filtering techniques. Accuracy in protecting organizations from email threats is increased further with automated traffic analysis, machine learning and real-time threat analysts.

ZixProtectanalysis. The solution is available as a cloud-based service in threea variety of bundles. ZixProtect Essentials includes email threat protection and business email continuity to enable access to emails during service disruption; ZixProtect Plus adds attachment assurance and time-of-click link defense to provide enhanced protection against sophisticated, targeted threats; and ZixProtect Premium delivers a comprehensive email security solution by including its leading email encryption and data loss prevention with its threat protection capabilities.

ZixArchiveInformation Archive (formerly ZixArchive) is a low-cost, cloud-based email retention solution that easily enables user retrieval, compliance and eDiscovery. Available as a standalone or add-on solution for ZixEncrypt or ZixProtect bundles, ZixArchiveother products, Zix’s Information Archive includes policy-based retention, automatic indexing and flexible search capabilities for audit and legal requirements. With on-demand access through the cloud, organizations can conveniently share messages with employees, auditors and outside consultants or legal counsel, as well as revoke access when needed.

In April 2018, Zix acquired Erado, a unified archiving company. Erado strengthened Zix’s comprehensive archiving solutions with unified archiving, supervision, security, and messaging solutions for customers that demand bundled services. Erado’s long standing focus on helping its customers comply with FINRA and SEC regulations helped further strengthen Zix’s offerings for customers with compliance requirements. This acquisition also expanded Zix’s cloud-based email archiving capabilities into more than 50 content channels, including social medial,media, instant message, mobile, web, audio and video.

ZixOne® is a unique mobile email app that solves the key IT challenge created by the BYOD trend in the workplace. BYOD describes employee’s use of personal devices to conduct work. ZixOne provides mobile access to corporate email while never allowing that data to be persistently stored on an employee’s device where it is vulnerable to loss or theft. If the device is lost or stolen, an administrator can simply disable access to corporate email from that device through ZixOne.

ZixOne is available as a standalone solution and easily integrates with ZixEncrypt as an add-on solution. One feature of ZixOne is the ability to encrypt an email from your mobile device with the simple slide of an “Encrypt” button, ensuring that sensitive information is secured either by the user or through automatic policies of ZixEncrypt.

On March 5, 2019, we announced the availability of ZixSuite, a cloud-based business communications security and compliance solution that combines advanced threat protection, business email continuity, email encryption, email DLP and unified archiving, all managed from a centralized interface.

ZixSuite is designed to simplify security and regulatory compliance for small and medium size businesses that want an easier way to protect critical business communications while complying with industry or corporate regulations. It brings together three of the Company’s industry-leading solutions: ZixProtect, ZixEncrypt and ZixArchive.

Integrated into a seamless management and reporting interface, the combination of these three services provides threat protection to reduce threats and spam, including protection from sophisticated zero-hour attacks; business email continuity to enable continued access to mail services during mail server outages; email encryption and DLP to automatically identify and protect sensitive data in email communication; and unified archiving for indefinite retention of business communications and easy access for compliance and eDiscovery. Unified archiving now supports over 50 data sources – from email and social media, to text messaging and more.


On February 20, 2019, we completed the acquisition ofZix acquired AppRiver, a leading provider of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions for SMB.Small and Medium Businesses (“SMB”).  The combined companies createcompany creates one of the leading cloud based security solutions providers, particularly for the small and mid-size enterprise market. This acquisition further strengthensstrengthened that alignment by bolstering our security offerings, expanding our go-to-market channels, and providing a stronger cloud platform to drive even more value for our customers and partners. In addition, we now can directly offer Microsoft’s substantial catalog of productivity and Microsoft Office 365 cloud email solutions.

On May 7, 2019, weZix acquired DeliverySlip, expanding our portfolio with additional email encryption, e-signatures, and secure file sharing solutions.

On November 5, 2020, Zix acquired CloudAlly, a pioneer of enterprise-grade, software-as-a-service (SaaS) cloud backup and recovery solutions. CloudAlly is a channel-first provider, serving more than 5,000 customers, 500,000 users and supported by 300 Managed Service Provider (MSP) partners.

Our business operations and service offerings are supported by the ZixData Center™, which is PCI DSS 3.2 certified for applicable services, SOC2 accredited and SOC 3 certified. The operations of the ZixData Center are independently audited annually to maintain AICPA SOC3 certification in the areas of security, confidentiality, integrity and availability. Auditors also produce a SOC2 report on the effectiveness of operational controls used over the audit period.

Our company was incorporated as a corporation in Texas in 1988. Originally named Amtech Corporation, we changed our name to ZixIt® Corporation in 1999 when we entered the encrypted email market. In 2002, we became Zix Corporation, and in 2017, the Company rebranded to Zix.

Impacts of COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) to be a pandemic. The ZixData Centerpandemic has resulted in significant, unpredictable, and rapidly changing impacts on the United States and global economies. The COVID-19 crisis and government responses have included limiting the operations of non-essential businesses and may result in long-term harm or permanent closures impacting our customers and our vendors. While COVID-19 had a minimal impact to our first, second and third quarter 2020 financial results, Zix has taken steps to insure the resilience of our company, while protecting the email security of our customers and the health of our employees, including the following actions:


Offering healthy email checks and evaluating other efficiency solutions for our customers;

Working with partners and customers to provide more flexible billing schedules;

Moving over 95% of our employees to remote work arrangements while maintaining the integrity of our data center operations and providing continued phenomenal support for our customers;

Maintaining effective governance and internal controls in a remote work environment;

Implementing a reduction in force of approximately 6%, completed through both voluntary and involuntary separation;

Slowing our hiring plans, and reducing planned travel and conference expenses;

Continued review and adjustment of other operating expenses for potential savings, including reduction of excess capacities in our network data centers;

We have continued to provide our cloud email security, productivity and compliance solutions services to our customers and vendors during this ongoing pandemic. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance is staffed 24 hours a daycurrently uncertain and has a track record that exceeds 99.99% availability.will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for consumer products. See the additional risk factor included in Part II – Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions take into account historical and forward-looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the recent COVID-19 and public and private sector policies and initiatives aimed at reducing its transmission. As the extent and duration of the impacts of COVID-19 remain unclear, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most subjective judgments. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most subjective judgments.

 

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. We discuss our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Third Quarter 20192020 Summary of Operations

Financial

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, was $47.8 million, compared with $17.9 million for the same period in 2018, representing a 168% increase that was largely attributable to our AppRiver acquisition in February 2019.

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, was $54.8 million, compared with $47.8 million for the same period in 2019, representing a 15% increase.

Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, was $26.4 million (or 55% of revenues), compared with $14.0 million (or 78% of revenues) for the comparable period in 2018. The period over period margin decline as a percentage of revenues is attributable to the effect of the higher cost of revenue associated with AppRiver’s Microsoft Office365 and hosted exchange products.  

Gross margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, was $26.9 million (or 49% of revenues), compared with $26.4 million (or 55% of revenues) for the comparable period in 2019. The period over period margin decline as a percentage of revenues is attributable to the effect of the increasing percentage of revenue associated with AppRiver sales of Microsoft Office365 and hosted exchange products.

The increase in revenue was primarily related to AppRiver growth of $6.4 million and $34.9 million to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. AppRiver’s contribution to our AppRiverfirst nine months 2019 revenue was impacted by the February 20, 2019, acquisition in February 2019, which contributeddate, contributing $28.7 million and $66.8 million in revenue to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. As our Company continues to integrate our sales teams and product offerings to a single secure cloud platform, distinguishing revenue between AppRiver and legacy Zix sales is expected to become less meaningful. We additionally greware growing our revenue with continued success in our subscription-based business model with both steady additions to the subscriber base and a high rate of existing customer renewals and the realization of previously contracted revenue in our backlog. In the first nine months of 2020, we categorized our revenue in the following core industry verticals: 21% healthcare, 17% financial services, 3% government, and 59% as other. In the first nine months of 2019, excluding our AppRiver and Erado sales, we categorized our revenue in the following core industry verticals: 46% healthcare, 29% financial services, 7% government sector and 18% as other. In

Annual Recurring Revenue

We measure the first nine monthshealth of 2018, we categorized our subscriber base by the growth of our Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”), which is defined as the aggregate annualized contract value attributable to recurring revenue contracts at the end of the applicable reporting period. We calculate ARR by determining the annual or monthly revenue of subscription agreements that are active as of the end of the applicable period and multiplying by 1 or 12. ARR aids us in determining to what extent individual customer relationships, considered in the following core industry verticals: 49% healthcare, 29%aggregate, are growing or declining in financial services, 7% government sector, and 15% as other.    magnitude. ARR is summarized in the table below:

Backlog

Backlog —Our end-user order backlog is comprised of contractually binding agreements that we expect to amortize into revenue as the services are performed. The timing of revenue is affected by both the length of time required to deploy a service and the length of the service contract.

As of September 30, 2019,2020, total backlog was $90.7$85.0 million, and we expect approximately 69%73% of the total backlog, or approximately $62.2$62.1 million, to be recognized as revenue during the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2019,2020, the backlog was comprised of the following elements: $45.6$42.3 million of deferred revenue that has been billed and paid, $10.5$12.7 million billed but unpaid, and approximately $34.6$30.0 million of unbilled contracts. The backlog at September 30, 2019,2020, was 23% higher6% lower than the $74.0$90.7 million backlog at the end of the third quarter 2018,2019, and 24% higher5% lower than the ending backlog of $73.0$89.4 million at December 31, 2018.2019.

Cost of revenues is comprised of costs related to operating and maintaining the ZixData Center, a field deployment team, customer service and support, Microsoft fees associated with the resale of Microsoft Office365 and hosted exchange products, and depreciation expense of computer equipment andthe amortization of acquired technology.Company-owned, customer-based computer appliances. The increases in 20192020 compared to 20182019 reflected in the table above resulted primarily from our acquisition of AppRiver in February 2019. As a reseller ofrevenue increases from Microsoft Office365 and hosted exchange products which comprise over 50% of AppRiver revenue earned for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, weare associated with lower profit margins. We expect our costs of revenue to remain at higher levels than we have historically incurred. We additionally incurred increases in depreciation, amortization, average headcount and other expenses to accommodate revenue growth.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and bonuses, travel, stock-based compensation and benefits for administrative and executive personnel as well as fees for professional services and other general corporate activities. The increasedecrease in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019, resulted primarily from reduction in acquisition and integration costs associated with AppRiver in February 2019. We additionally incurred increase in stock based compensation expense and advisory and audit fees.

The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulted primarily from acquisition costs associated withour acquisitions of AppRiver and of DeliverySlip, acquiredin February 2019 and May 2019, respectively, and expensesrespectively.

Other Income (Expense)

Our other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense associated with our debt. In February 2019, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders and SunTrust Bank, borrowing $175 million to fund our AppRiver acquisition. In May 2019, we borrowed and additional $10 million to fund our DeliverySlip acquisition.Bank. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, we recorded interest expense of $3.0$2.0 million and $7.4$7.2 million, respectively associated with this debt. At September 30, 2019,2020, our outstanding debt balance was $178.3$185.7 million based on a weighted effective interest rate of 6.51%.4.37% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. See above Note 7 “Long-term Debt” for additional information regarding our debt. Additionally, we recognized $132 thousand gain from partial termination of our office lease during the three months ended September 30, 2020.  

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was a $1.2 million expense and $133 thousand benefit and $945 thousand expense for the three monththree-month periods ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and a $244 thousand and $2.3 million benefit and a $2.5 million expense for each of the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. The operating losses incurred by the Company’s U.S. operations in past years and the resulting net operating losses for U.S. Federal income tax purposes are subject to a $23.1$23.0 million reserve because of the uncertainty of future taxable income levels sufficient to utilize our net operating losses and credits. Our September 30, 2020, provision benefit of $244 thousand includes $76 thousand in deferred taxes and a $337 thousand tax benefit related to the return of federal Alternative Minimum Tax credits, offset by $169 thousand in state taxes then payable based on gross revenues. Our September 30, 2019, provision benefit of $2.3 million includes $2.1 million in deferred taxes and a $259 thousand benefit related to the return of federal Alternative Minimum Tax credits offset by a $87 thousand state income tax expense. Our September 30, 2018, income tax provision of $2.5 million includes $2.7 million in deferred taxes, $416 thousand in state taxes currently payable based on gross revenues, and $61 thousand in taxes related to our Canadian operations, all of which were offset by a $690 thousand benefit related to the return of federal Alternative Minimum Tax credits.

No tax penalty-related charges were accrued or recognized for the three monththree-month periods ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019. Additionally, we have not taken a tax position that would have a material effect on our financial statements or our effective tax rate for the three monththree-month period ended September 30, 2019.2020. We are currently subject to a three year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions.

At September 30, 2019,2020, the Company partially reserved its U.S. net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future taxable income being sufficient to utilize net loss carryforwards prior to their expiration, as noted above. The Company did not reserve $30.9$36.7 million of its U.S. net deferred tax assets. The majority of this unreserved portion related to $31.0$30.9 million in U.S. net operating losses (“NOLs”) because we believe the Company will generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize these NOLs prior to their expiration. The remaining balance consists of $420 thousand related$5.2 million relating to Alternative Minimum Tax creditstemporary differences between GAAP and $472tax-related expense and $611 thousand relating to U.S. state income tax credits and net operating loss carryovers. These items are offset by a $971 thousand liability relating to temporary differences between GAAP and tax-related expense.


Any reduction to the $23.1$23.0 million valuation allowance related to our deferred tax asset would be based on an assessment of future utilization following accounting guidance, which relies largely on historical earnings. Using this methodology, and updating the future taxable earnings estimates based on first, second and third quarter 20192020 actual earnings, the Company believes the deferred tax asset allowance as of December 31, 2018,2019, will remain unchanged at December 31, 2019.2020. For this reason, the Company has recognized its first, second and third quarter 20192020 federal deferred tax provision in full. If in future periods we conclude our future U.S. federal taxable estimate established at the end of the year will exceed the prior year estimate, the Company will offset its federal deferred tax provision by reducing its valuation allowance by an equal amount, thereby eliminating from its deferred tax provision federal taxes from the Company’s financial statements. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset. In assessing the need for such an allowance, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. The Company will continue to reevaluate the need for its valuation allowance each quarter, following the same assessment methodology described above. AdjustingAn increase or decrease to our valuation allowance could have a significant impact on operating results for each period during which it becomes more likely than not that an additional portion of our deferred tax assets will or will not be realized.

We have determined that utilization of existing net operating losses against future taxable income is not currently subject to limitation by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Future ownership changes, however, may limit the Company’s ability to fully utilize its existing net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income. The Company currently has U.S federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $239 million which begin to expire in 2021.

Net Income (Loss)

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, of $1.6 million$725 thousand was a decreasean improvement of $4.1 million$886 thousand compared to our net incomeloss of $2.5$1.6 million for the same period last year. The decreaseimprovement in our net incomeloss was primarily due to revenue growth and the completion of prior year acquisition and integration related costs associated with our AppRiver purchase, including integration costs, as well as higher operating expenses and interest expense. These items were partially offset by current year increases in revenue, as discussed above.our costs of revenues, research and development, and selling and marketing activities.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Based on our performance over the last four quarters and current expectations, including our assessment of the COVID-19 potential impact to our Company, we believe our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and availability under our $25 million Revolving Facility (which,(under which $8 million was drawn as of September 30, 2019,2020. Therefore the undrawn balance of $17 million was undrawn and available to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes, including the financing of permitted acquisitions, investments, and restricted payments, subject to the conditions contained in the Credit Agreement) will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, investment requirements, contractual obligations, commitments, and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations through at least the next twelve months.
