1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Digimarc Corporation (“Digimarc” or the “Company”), an Oregon corporation, is a pioneerglobal leader in the automatic identification of media, including packaging, other commercial print, digital images, audioproduct digitization, delivering business value across industries through unique identifiers and video. The Digimarc Platform takes industry beyond the barcode, providing innovative and comprehensive automatic identification software and servicescloud-based solutions. Our technology illuminates a product's journey to simplify search and transform information discovery. The Digimarc Platform enables applications that benefit retailers and consumer brands, national and state government agencies, media and entertainment industries, and others.provide complete visibility into all relevant product data, allowing companies to make intelligent business decisions.

The Digimarc Platform features three core capabilities for the identification, discovery and quality management of media.  Digimarc Barcode integrates the identification function, which is a novelunique software as a service to manage digital identities, connect physical items using most existing data carrier encoded into media in ways that are generally imperceptiblecarriers, and provide a digital twin to people, permitting the carrier to be repeated many times over the surface of the enhanced media. Digimarc Discover represents the discovery function, which is software for computinghelp connected physical items interact with machines, devices, and network interfaces that recognize and decode indicia of the identity of media. These include, but are not limited to,applications. The Digimarc Barcodes, Quick Response Codes, Universal Product Codes, certain other Global Standards One (“GS1”) approved one-dimensional codes and relevant contextual data. Digimarc Verify incorporates the quality management function, a suite of software tools used to inspect and verify that the identification and discovery of media are both accurate and effective. Together, these core capabilities enable organizations, application developers, and other solution providers to build new and improve existing automatic identification solutions.Platform is underpinned by:

Digital Watermarks: Built on a patented foundation, these data carriers provide an imperceptible digital identity and make scanning much more efficient than traditional visual barcodes as they are repeated many times throughout product packaging.

Detection Software: A software program for computing devices and network interfaces that recognizes and decodes Digimarc watermarks and easily scans most digital identifiers.

Verification/QC Software: Verification and quality control software that offers detailed reports enabling printers and premedia professionals to validate Digimarc watermarks and assess the expected performance.

EVRYTHNG Product Cloud: The Product Cloud assigns products a unique digital identity, making products trackable, intelligent, and interactive by applying analytics and real-time intelligence to a company’s data.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”). The Company has added “Business Combinations” below as a new significant accounting policy.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s records without audit and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly reflect the financial condition and the results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).SEC.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021.Report. The results of operations for the interim periods presented in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digimarc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Digimarc acquired EVRYTHNG Limited (“EVRYTHNG”) on January 3, 2022. The financial results of EVRYTHNG are consolidated with Digimarc’s financial results for the post-acquisition period. See Notes 6 and 9 for information related to the EVRYTHNG acquisition.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation, including the reclassification of revenue by major target market.presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the results of operations or financial position for any period presented.

liabilities assumed and equity interests issued, after considering any transactions that are separate from the Company’s annual impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, it was concluded that there was 0 impairment to goodwill as the estimatedbusiness combination. The fair value of equity issued as part of a business combination is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s reporting unit substantially exceededstock on the carrying value.date of  issuance. The excess of fair value of purchase price consideration over the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such fair value calculations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets and contingent liabilities. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer bases, acquired technology, useful lives, and discount rates.

The estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to revision as additional information is obtained during the measurement period for an acquisition, which may last up to one year from the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill. After the conclusion of the measurement period or the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the accounts of our non-U.S. subsidiaries into U.S. dollars as follows: revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at average exchange rates during the period; and assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The amendments in this update remove the thresholds that entities apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, trade receivables, reinsurance recoverables, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and held-to-maturity securities. Under current U.S. GAAP, entities generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred. The guidance removes all current recognition thresholds and introduces the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model which will require entities to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that an entity expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. The new CECL model is based upon expected losses rather than incurred losses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.statements.

 

2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s marketable securities are now classified as available-for-sale, as the Company recently sold a marketable security, which was previously classified as held-to-maturity. The Company has reassessed classification of the remaining marketable securities and therefore adjusted them to be reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax in “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until realized. Realized gains and losses are included in “other income (loss), net” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of marketable securities sold.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from software development services and software subscriptions. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered separately for each performance obligation as follows:

 

Service revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from the performance of software development and, to a lesser extent, professional services. The majority of serviceservices contracts are structured as time and materials consulting agreements. Revenue for services is generally recognized as the services are performed. Billing for services rendered generally occurs within one month after the services are provided.

 

Subscription revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from the salelicensing of software products and, to a lesser extent, the licensing and sale of intellectual property. The majority of subscription contracts are recurring, paid in advance, and recognized over the term of the subscription, which is typically one to three years.

Customer arrangements may contain multiple performance obligations such as software development services, software products, and maintenance and support fees. The Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct. To determine the transaction price, the Company considers the terms of the contract and the Company’s customary business practices. Some contracts may contain variable consideration. In those cases, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration based on the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. As part of this assessment, the Company will evaluate whether any of the variable consideration is constrained and if it is the Company will not include it in the transaction price. The consideration is allocated between distinct products and services based on their stand-alone selling prices. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the standalone selling price based on reasonably available

information, including market conditions, specific factors affecting the Company, and information about the customer. For distinct products and services, the Company typically recognizes the revenue associated with these performance obligations as they are delivered to the customer.  Products and services that are not capable of being distinct are combined with other products or services until a distinct performance obligation is identified.

All revenue recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.

Determining Fair Value

Stock Options

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant (measurement date) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the vestingservice period of the award.

The following inputs are used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options:

Stock Price. The stock price represents the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.


Expected Life. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms and vesting schedules of the awards. Stock options granted generally vest over a service period of three years and have a contractual term of ten years.

Expected Volatility. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of its common stock based on historical prices over the most recent period commensurate with the expected life of the award.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company determines the risk-free interest rate using current U.S. treasury yields for bonds with a maturity commensurate with the expected life of the award.

Expected Dividend Yield. The expected dividend yield is derived by dividing the Company’s expected annual dividend rate over the expected term by the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date.

There were 01 stock options granted during the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022, as replacement equity awards for vested stock options held by EVRYTHNG employees. NaN stock options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020..

Performance Stock Units

The fair value of performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards, that vest upon meeting a performance condition, such as the Company exceeding a future annual recurring revenue target, and a service condition, is determined based on the probability of achievement of the performance criteria as of each reporting date (measurement date). The probability of achievement is subject to judgment, and could change from period to period, impacting the fair value of the award. The Company recognizes the fair value of the award on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three years for employee grants.

The fair value of PSU awards, that vest upon meeting a market condition, such as the Company exceeding a target stock price in the future,shareholder returns as compared to an index of peer companies, and a service condition, is determined on the date of grant (measurement date) using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company recognizes the fair value of the award on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three years.years for employee grants.

The following inputs are used in the Monte Carlo valuation model to estimate the fair value of PRSUs:value:

Stock Price. The stock price represents the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

Expected Volatility. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of its common stock based on historical prices over the most recent period commensurate with the term of the award.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company determines the risk-free interest rate using current U.S. treasury yields for bonds with a maturity commensurate with the term of the award.

(UNAUDITED)

non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends. Under the two-class method, earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed.

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing earnings to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing earnings to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares, as adjusted for the potentially dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and PRSUs.PSUs. The dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and PRSUsPSUs is determined using the treasury stock method.

9. Business Combination

On January 3, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of EVRYTHNG, a London-based product cloud company. The aggregate preliminary purchase price for the acquisition was $36,634, which included the fair value of the 772 shares issued of common stock of the Company of $31,519 and the warrants issued to purchase 231 shares of common stock of the Company of $1,601 (see Note 6 for more information). The fair value of the warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance of $40.84, the strike price on the warrants of $36.56 and expected volatility of 60%. The aggregate preliminary purchase price also included $3,986 of cash paid by the Company to pay closing costs on behalf of the EVRYTHNG sellers, less cash acquired of $474. A portion of the consideration was held back by the Company to secure any post-closing adjustments to the initial consideration and the indemnification obligations of the sellers. The aggregate purchase price remains preliminary, as the Company is still finalizing the issuance of the held back consideration.

On December 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with EVRYTHNG (the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Loan Agreement provided a loan facility of $2,000 to EVRYTHNG at an interest rate of 1% per annum. The loan matures on December 9, 2022. The loan balance of $2,001 on January 3, 2022, was included in “loan payable to related party” below in the preliminary purchase price allocation, as the liability was assumed by the combined company. The loan payable balance is eliminated in consolidation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022.

The Company preliminarily allocated $23,990 to EVRYTHNG developed technology and $13,750 to EVRYTHNG customer relationships. Preliminary goodwill recognized of $5,439 from the acquisition was primarily attributed to an assembled workforce and expected synergies. The preliminary allocation above is subject to future adjustments during the measurement period. Open areas in the preliminary allocation include finalizing the opening balance sheet, the fair value of acquired intangible assets and recognition of income tax assets and liabilities. The Company incurred transaction costs related to the acquisition of $1,140 during 2021 and $444 in 2022, respectively.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations include the financial results of Digimarc and EVRYTHNG assuming the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2021, the beginning of the earliest period presented. Pro forma adjustments are primarily comprised of preliminary estimates of amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, transaction expenses and the elimination of EVRYTHNG’s historical interest expense on long-term debt that was settled at closing. The pro forma results of operations are presented for informational purposes only and are not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved or of results that may occur in the future.

Digimarc Barcode integrates the identification function, which is a novelunique software as a service to manage digital identities, connect physical items using most existing data carrier encoded into media in ways that are generally imperceptiblecarriers, and provide a digital twin to people, permitting the carrier to be repeated many times over the surface of the enhanced media. Digimarc Discover represents the discovery function, which is software for computinghelp connected physical items interact with machines, devices, and network interfaces that recognize and decode indicia of the identity of media. These include, but are not limited to, Digimarc Barcodes, Quick Response Codes, Universal Product Codes, certain other GS1 approved one-dimensional codes and relevant contextual data.  Digimarc Verify incorporates the quality management function, a suite of software tools used to inspect and verify that the identification and discovery of media are both accurate and effective. Together, these core capabilities enable organizations, application developers, and other solution providers to build new and improve existing automatic identification solutions.

applications. The Digimarc Platform enablesis underpinned by:

Digital Watermarks: Built on a patented foundation, these data carriers provide an imperceptible digital identity and make scanning much more efficient than traditional visual barcodes as they are repeated many times throughout product packaging.

Detection Software: A software program for computing devices and network interfaces that recognizes and decodes Digimarc watermarks and easily scans most digital identifiers.

Verification/QC Software: Verification and quality control software that offers detailed reports enabling printers and premedia professionals to validate Digimarc watermarks and assess the expected performance.

EVRYTHNG Product Cloud: The Product Cloud assigns products a unique digital identity, making products trackable, intelligent, and interactive by applying analytics and real-time intelligence to a company’s data.

By enabling customers to create digital identities for physical and digital media objects, and providesDigimarc’s technologies provide many benefits, for connected media, including:

 

Security: Brand IntegrityAn imperceptible: Our technology can verify product authenticity, provide more in-depth insight into products, and indestructible data carrier encoded inpinpoint the object provides a unique identification, whether in a digital image, video or audio file, or in graphics printed, embossed or etched on paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, or other material. Among other things, this identification supports strong authentication.location of counterfeit goods. Because Digimarc watermarks are covert, they can easily confirm the credibility of real products without attracting attention.

 

Brand Protection: Recycling Accuracy:A unique identifier (“ID”) enables fraud deterrence across many use cases, from preventing “barcode swapping” Digimarc watermarks create a digital identity in any plastic or other packaging product that overcomes existing challenges in sortation and counterfeiting of currency, media, and goodsgives products a “Digital Recycling Passport,” linked to detection of use or distribution of physical products and digital images and e-publications.virtually unlimited attributes in the cloud.

 

Traceability: Supply Chain TraceabilityThe ID can carry serial numbers for easier tracking of individual items or entire lots. This has many uses, from ensuring: Our technology provides unique, serialized identities on product legitimacypackaging via digital printing, industrial inkjet printers, and laser etching techniques to preventing product pirating to quickly identifying products for recall based on source provenance and sales destination.support consumer brand traceability initiatives.

 

Sustainability:Retail Operations & Consumer Experience: The ID can contain information specific to packaging content as an aid to broader and more efficient recycling. For example, a microscopic pattern embossed in plastic packaging can identify the materials used and their composition to aid sorting and recapture. Similarly, enhanced labels for fresh foodsdigital identity can be usedapplied to dynamically adjust pricing and thus reduce food waste proactively.

Engagement: Consumers can directly interact with enhanced objects by merely scanning the item with their enabled smartphones. Brands can share additional product information online including recipes, instructionspackaging, allowing for use and recycling, information about ingredients and sources, how-to videos, coupons, and more.


Efficiency: Connected items, reliably scanned by machines and mobile devices, can enhance supply chain efficiencies, from parts matching in manufacturing to faster and more accurate inventory scanning, and fasterunique consumer experiences, and easier front-of-store checkout experiences.checkout.


Our inventions provideDigimarc has also maintained a powerful document security element, giving rise to a long-term relationship with a consortium of central banks (the “Central Banks”) and many leading companies infor over 20 years, providing trusted technology to help deter digital counterfeiting of currency. The relationship was the information technology industry. We and our business partners have successfully propagated thefirst commercially successful large-scale use of our technologytechnologies and protects billions of banknotes in music, movies, television broadcasts, digital images, e-publicationscirculation globally.

We seek patent protection for our inventions to differentiate our products and printed materials. Digimarc Barcode is used in these applications to improve media rightstechnologies, mitigate infringement risks, and asset management, reduce piracy and counterfeiting losses, improve marketing programs, permit more efficient and effective distribution of valuable media content, and enhance consumer entertainment and commercial experiences.

Digimarc Barcode can be used to enhance all forms of media and is generally imperceptible to human senses, but quickly detected by computers, networks, or other digital devices like smartphones and tablets. Unlike traditional barcodes and tags, our solution does not require content owners to give up valuable visual space on their media content, nor does it affect their media content’s overall layout or aesthetics. Digimarc Barcode is generally imperceptible in regular use and does all that visible barcodes do, but performs better.develop opportunities for licensing. Our Digimarc Discover software deliversbroad patent portfolio covers a wide range of rich media experiences to its readers on their smartphones or tablets across multiple media formats, including print, audiomethods, applications, system architectures and video. Unique to Digimarc Discover is its seamless multi-modal use of various content identification technologies as needed, including Digimarc Barcode, when present.processes.

Our intellectual property contains many innovations in digital watermarking, content and object content recognition, digital rights management, and related fields. To protect our inventions, we have implemented an extensive intellectual property protection program that relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, and nondisclosure agreements and other contracts. As a result, we believe we have one of the world’s most extensive patent portfolios in digital watermarking and related fields, with approximately 1,000 U.S. and foreign patents granted and applications pending as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The patents in our portfolio each have a life of approximately 20 years from the patent’s effective filing date.

ForOn January 3, 2022, we completed the acquisition of EVRYTHNG. The EVRYTHNG product cloud allows the combined company to now offer a discussion of activities and costs related to our research and development, see “Results of Operations – Summary – Research, development and engineering.”

Forging a Sustainable Future

At Digimarc, the environment is an essential stakeholder in everything we do, and we are committed to harnessing our culture of innovation to mitigate the visible and increasingly damaging effects of rising greenhouse gas emissions. We support a sustainable future by improving plastic sortation at recycling facilities to keep plastic out of landfills and oceans. Our technologies play a meaningful role in reducing food waste and educating consumers on package recyclability.

The Digimarc Platform featurescomplete automatic identification softwaresolution to existing customers and services that help reduce food waste, increase traceability,prospective customers. The aggregate initial consideration for the acquisition was 772 thousand shares of common stock of the Company and promote a circular economywarrants to purchase 231 thousand shares of common stock of the Company at the closing. A portion of the consideration was held back by educating consumers on recycling options and improving plastic sortation at waste facilities. Digimarc Barcode appliedus to plastic packaging, labels, corrugate and other materials, can significantly helpsecure any post-closing adjustments to address pressing environmental issues, such as climate changethe initial consideration and the proliferationindemnification obligations of plastic in our environment.

Recycling: Digimarc works with leading consumer brands to optimize packaging for the circular economy. Digimarc Barcode enables better detection and sortation of plastics, improving the economics and efficiencies of the recycling value chain. And, as part of the Association des Industries de Marque (“AIM”) HolyGrail 2.0project focused on pioneering the use of digital watermarks, Digimarc can better enable companies to reach their recycling and sustainability goals.

Traceability: Product traceability across the global supply chain is increasingly essential for consumer brands and food manufacturers to promote consumer safety, mitigate risk, and gain real-time insight into product locations in warehouses and distribution centers. Using Digimarc technologies for packaging supports these business needs with batch-lot and item-level traceability by applying serialized or custom identifiers and additional data to product packaging.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic posescontinues to pose significant risks to our business. The ongoing public health actions attempting to reduce the spread of COVID-19 created and may continue to create significant disruptions to consumer demand, customer and supplier relationships, sales and support processes, and general economic conditions. Accordingly, our management continuously evaluates our business operations, communicates with and monitors the actions of our customers and partners, and reviews our near-term financial


performance as we manage the Company through the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of our projects with retail customers and partners have been delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Delays in these projects have affected the timing of closing new business. To help ensure adequate liquidity during this period and in light of uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we received a loan on April 16, 2020 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). On September 15, 2020, we filed our application for 100% forgiveness of the loan. Our application was reviewed by the lender and submitted to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) for approval on December 17, 2020. We have not received any notification from the SBA on the status of the SBA’s review other than receiving a request for additional supporting documentation, which we have submitted.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Service. Service revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from the performance of software development services and, to a lesser extent, professional services. The majority of servicesoftware development contracts are structured as time and materials agreements. Revenue for services is generally recognized as the services are performed. Billing for services rendered generally occurs within one month after the services are provided. Service contracts can range from days to several years in length. Our contract with the Central Banks, which accounts for the majority of our service revenue, has a contract term through December 31, 2024, with the option to extend the term for an additional five years by mutual agreement. The contract is subject to work plans that are reviewed and agreed upon quarterly. The contract provides for predetermined billing rates, which are adjusted annually to account for cost of living variables, and provides for the reimbursement of third party costs incurred to support the work plans.

The decreases$0.2 million decrease in service revenue for the three and six month periodsperiod ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding three and six month periodsperiod ended June 30, 2020, were primarilyMarch 31, 2021, included $0.3 million of service revenue from EVRYTHNG for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Excluding the service revenue from EVRYTHNG, service revenue decreased $0.5 million due to decreases in services to the Central Banks as a result of the timing of program work partially offset by growth in servicewith the Central Banks, which accounted for $0.3 million of the decrease, and lower revenue from Commercial customers.professional services work.

Subscription. Subscription revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from the salelicensing of software products and, to a lesser extent, the licensing and sale of intellectual property. The majority of subscription contracts are recurring, paid in advance and recognized over the term of the subscription, which is typically one to three years.

The decrease$0.9 million increase in subscription revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2020, was primarilyMarch 31, 2021, included $1.2 million of subscription revenue from EVRYTHNG for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Research, development and engineering expenses consist primarily of:

 

compensation, benefits, incentive compensation in the form of stock-based compensation and related costs of our software and hardware developers and quality assurance personnel;

 

payments to outside contractors;

 

the purchase of materials and services for product development; and

 

charges for infrastructure and centralized costs of facilities and information technology.

The increase in research, development and engineering expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding three month period ended June 30, 2020, was insignificant.

The decrease in research, development and engineering expenses for the six month period ended June 30,March 31, 2021, compared to the corresponding six month period ended June 30, 2020, was primarily due to decreased compensation costs of $0.3 million reflecting lower headcount.to:

EVRYTHNG research, development and engineering expenses of $0.7 million post acquisition;

increased compensation costs of $0.9 million reflecting higher headcount and annual compensation adjustments; and

increased infrastructure and centralized costs of facilities and information technology of $0.4 million.

We incur general and administrative costs in the functional areas of finance, legal, human resources, intellectual property, executive and board of directors. Costs for facilities and information technology are also managed as part of the general and administrative processes and are allocated to this area as well as each of the areas in cost of revenue, sales and marketing and research, development and engineering.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of:

 

compensation, benefits and incentive compensation in the form of stock-based compensation and related costs of our general and administrative personnel;

 

third party and professional fees associated with legal, accounting and human resources functions;

 

costs associated with being a public company;

 

third party costs, including filing and governmental regulatory fees and outside legal fees and translation costs, related to the filing and maintenance of our intellectual property;

 

charges to write off previously capitalized patent costs for patent assets we abandon; and

 

charges for infrastructure and centralized costs of facilities and information technology.

The increase of $0.5 million in stock-based compensation expense for the three and six month periodsperiod ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding three and six month periodsperiod ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, was primarily due to the accelerationresult of stock awards associated with the Separation Agreement we entered into with our former chief executive officer in April 2021 upon his retirement, and with the organizational changes we made in June 2021, partially offset by the lower value ofadditional stock awards granted since March 31, 2021, reflecting both stock award grants to our current chief executive officer.new employees, including employees from EVRYTHNG, and annual stock award grants to existing employees.

We anticipate incurring an additional $13,411$20,967 in stock-based compensation expense through June 30, 2025,March 31, 2026, for awards outstanding as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

The decreasesdecrease in other income, net for the three and six month periodsperiod ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to the corresponding three and six month periodsperiod ended June 30, 2020, were primarily due to lower interest rates earned on investments, partially offset by higher average investment balances.March 31, 2021, was not significant.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes reflects current taxes, deferred taxes, and withholding taxes. The effective tax rate for each of the sixthree month periods ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 1% and 2020 was 0%, respectively. Our effective tax rate is significantly lower than our


statutory tax rate because we have a full valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. The tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflects an estimated refundable tax credit to be filed for in the United Kingdom for the 2022 tax year.

The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, was $61,152,$67,452, an increase of $5,513$3,179 from $55,639$64,273 as of December 31, 2020.2021.


We continually assess the applicability of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Based upon the positive and negative evidence available as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and largely due to the cumulative loss incurred by us over the last several years, which is considered a significant piece of negative evidence when assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, a full valuation allowance is recorded against our deferred tax assets. We will not record tax benefits on any future losses until it is determined that those tax benefits will be realized. All future reversals of the valuation allowance would result in a tax benefit in the period recognized.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as well as non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude amounts that are not normally excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to, GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses and relies on Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross profit margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP loss per common share (diluted), which are all non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measures in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management recognizes that the non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations because of the described excluded items.

We define Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross profit margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP loss per common share (diluted) excluding the adjustments in the table below. These non-GAAP financial measures are an important measure of our operating performance because they allow management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period-to-period after removing non-cash and non-recurring activities that can affect comparability.

We have included a reconciliation of our financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to the most comparable non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between us and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measures and the corresponding GAAP measures provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.



The following table presents a reconciliation of Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross profit margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP loss per common share (diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Non-GAAP gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased by $0.2 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase reflects Non-GAAP gross profit from EVRYTHNG of $0.9 million, after excluding the EVRYTHNG portion of the adjustment above for amortization expense of $1.2 million on acquired intangible assets. Excluding the impact of EVRYTHNG, Non-GAAP gross profit decreased $0.7 million reflecting lower service and subscription revenue and incurring additional professional services hours above the hours that were billable on one service contract during the three month period ended March 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased by $6.8 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase reflects Non-GAAP operating expenses from EVRYTHNG of $4.0 million, after excluding the EVRYTHNG portion of the adjustments above for amortization expense of $0.3 million on acquired intangible assets and $0.3 million of stock-based compensation, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Excluding the impact of EVRYTHNG, Non-GAAP operating expenses increased $2.8 million reflecting higher cash compensation costs due to higher headcount and annual compensation adjustments, higher legal and accounting costs related to financing activities, higher consulting costs for acquisition integration and other corporate initiatives and higher travel and conference expenses.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash and cash equivalents with major banks and our marketable securities with major financial institutions and atinstitutions. At times deposits may exceed insured limits. Marketable securities primarily include commercial paper, corporate notes, federal agency notes, and pre-refunded municipals, and corporate notes.municipals. Our investment policy requires our portfolio to be invested to ensure that the greater of $3,000 or 7% of the invested funds will be available within 30 days’ notice.

Other than cash used for operating needs, which may include short-term marketable securities, our investment policy limits our credit exposure to any one financial institution or type of financial instrument by limiting the maximum of 5% of our cash, and cash equivalents, and marketable securities or $1,000, whichever is greater, to be invested in any one issuer except for the U.S. government, U.S. federal agencies and U.S. backed securities, which have no limits, at the time of purchase. Our investment policy also limits our credit exposure by limiting to a maximum of 40% of our cash, and cash equivalents, and marketable securities, or $15,000, whichever is greater, to be invested in any one industry category (e.g., financial, or energy, industries)etc.) at the time of purchase. As a result, we believe our credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents, and investmentsmarketable securities to be minimal. A decline in the market value of any security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider whether we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. There have been no other-than-temporary impairments identified or recorded by us in the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The increase in non-cashthe net loss. Non-cash items was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation related to the acceleration of stock awards associated with the Separation Agreement we entered into with our former chief executive officer in April 2021, and with the organizational changes we made in June 2021, partially offset byincreased reflecting higher amortization of net discountsacquired intangible assets, the impairment on marketable securities. The changes in operatinglease right of use assets and liabilities was largely due to timing of receipts from customersleasehold improvements, and payments to vendors.higher stock-based compensation.

Future Cash Expectations

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities balances, after factoring in the $58,275 of gross cash proceeds raised from our registered direct offering in April 2022, will satisfy our projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We continuously review our liquidity and anticipated capital requirements in light of the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

TCM Strategic Partners TransactionRegistered Direct Offering

On September 29, 2020,April 5, 2022, we entered into a Subscription Agreementpurchase agreements with TCM Strategic Partners L.P.certain investors providing for the issuance and sale by us of 2,250 common shares in a private placement to issue and sell 2,542registered direct offering. The common shares of our common stock and 17 shares of our newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (which subsequently converted into 1,198 shares of our common stock) for an aggregate purchasewere offered at a price of $53,500. $25.90 per share, and the gross cash proceeds to us were $58,275. We paid a totalincurred $60 of $272 in stock issuance costs.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 16, 2020, we entered into a Promissory Note with an aggregate principal amount of $5,032 (the “Note”) with Steans Bank, N.A. pursuantlegal costs related to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). offering. The proceeds gave us more time to observe financial market trends and assess the effectsclosing of the COVID-19 pandemicregistered direct offering occurred on the Company to determine the best course of action concerning financing the business. The Note matures two years from the disbursement date and bears interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred.Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing six months after the disbursement date and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Subject to the terms and limitations of the PPP, the Note may be forgiven in whole or in part.April 7, 2022.

On June 29, 2020, we were notified by Stearns Bank, N.A. that the Note was transferred to The Loan Source Inc. (“the Lender”), who will be responsible for servicing the Note going forward, including administering loan forgiveness. We believe that we have used the entire amount of the Note to fund expenses eligible for forgiveness under the PPP, and on September 15, 2020, we filed our application for 100% forgiveness of the Note. Our application was reviewed by the Lender and submitted to the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) for approval on December 17, 2020. We have not received any notification from the SBA on the status of the SBA’s review other than receiving a request for additional supporting documentation, which we have submitted. Principal and interest payments can be deferred until the forgiveness process is completed as no payments would be required if the Note is forgiven.


Equity Distribution Agreement

On May 16, 2019, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement, whereby we may sell from time to time through Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as our sales agent, our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30,000. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC will receive from us a commission equal to 2.50% of the gross sales price per share of common stock for shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000, and a commission of 2.25% of the gross sales price per share of common stock thereafter, for shares sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement. As of June 30, 2021, we had sold 498We did not sell any shares at an average price of $46.36 under this Equity Distribution Agreement totaling $23,067 of cash proceeds, less $544 of commissionsduring the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $645 of stock issuance costs.2021. As of June 30, 2021, there isMarch 31, 2022, $6,932 remains available for future issuance under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

Shelf Registration

On June 5, 2020, we filed a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that included $49,265 of unsold securities from our prior shelf registration statement filed on May 26, 2017 that expired in June 2020. Under the new shelf registration statement, we may sell securities in one or more offerings up to $100,000. As of June 30, 2021, there is $97,892March 31, 2022, $39,617 remains available under the shelf registration. The new shelf registration statement will expire in July 2023.

We may sell shares under the shelf registration and/or use similar or other financing means to raise working capital in the future, if necessary, to support continued investment in our growth initiatives. We may also raise capital in the future to fund acquisitions and/or investments in complementary businesses, technologies or product lines. If it becomes necessary to obtain additional financing, we may not be able to do so, or if these funds are available, they may not be available on satisfactory terms. The COVID-19 pandemic has created substantial uncertainty and volatility in the stock market, particularly in the small capsmall-cap sector in which our stock is traded, and has negatively impacted our share price. These factors may inhibit our near-term ability to obtain financing.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

We are party to an operating lease for our facility in Beaverton, Oregon. The term of the lease runs through March 2024, with remaining rent payments as of June 30, 2021, totaling $2,305, payable in monthly installments.
