Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1. Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Nature of Business eGain Corporation (“eGain”, the “Company”, “our”, “we” or “us”) is a leading provider of SaaS (“Software-as-a-Service”) solutions for customer engagement. For almost two decades, our solutions have helped improve customer experience, grow sales, and optimize service processes across the web, mobile, social, and phone channels. Hundreds of global enterprises rely on us to transform fragmented customer engagement operations into unified customer engagement hubs. We have operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and India. Basis of Presentation We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and included the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of our operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 to conform to the presentation of the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for at fair value under the purchase method of accounting. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in general and administrative expenses and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date affect income tax expense. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, or require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets. Segment Information We operate in one segment, the development, license, implementation and support of our customer interaction software solutions. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision-makers in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Our chief operating decision-makers, under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting , are our executive management team. Our chief operating decision-makers review financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company operates in one operating segment and all required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Information relating to our geographic areas for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows (unaudited, in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Total Revenue: North America $ 6,435 $ 6,633 $ 21,297 $ 25,136 EMEA 7,038 8,968 21,305 24,674 Asia Pacific 377 690 992 1,943 $ 13,850 $ 16,291 $ 43,594 $ 51,753 Operating Income (Loss): North America $ (2,950) $ (4,049) $ (6,757) $ (7,165) EMEA 1,935 1,947 5,971 3,239 Asia Pacific* (816) (554) (2,608) (2,056) $ (1,831) $ (2,656) $ (3,394) $ (5,982) * In addition, long-lived assets corresponding to our geographic areas are as follows (unaudited, in thousands): March 31, June 30, 2017 2016 Long-Lived Assets: North America $ 612 $ 925 EMEA 551 627 Asia Pacific 77 136 $ 1,240 $ 1,688 Concentration of Credit Risks For the three months ended March 31, 2017, one customer accounted for 15% of total revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, two customers accounted for 16% and 10% of total revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2017, one customer accounted for 13% of total revenue. For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, two customers accounted for 16% and 10% of total revenue. Revenue Recognition We enter into arrangements to deliver multiple products or services (multiple-elements). We apply software revenue recognition rules and multiple-elements arrangement revenue guidance. Significant management judgments and estimates are made and used to determine the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in changes to the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if different conditions were to prevail. We present revenue, net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. We derive revenue from three sources: (i) Subscription and support fees primarily consist of cloud revenue from customers accessing our enterprise cloud computing services, term license revenue, and maintenance and support revenue; (ii) License fees primarily consist of perpetual software license revenue; (iii) Professional services primarily consist of consulting, implementation services and training. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: · Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists: Evidence of an arrangement consists of a written contract signed by both the customer and management prior to the end of the period. We use signed software license, services agreements and order forms as evidence of an arrangement for sales of software, cloud, maintenance and support. We use signed statement of work as evidence of arrangement for professional services. · Delivery or performance has occurred : Software is delivered to customers electronically, and license files are delivered electronically. Delivery is considered to have occurred when we provide the customer access to the software along with a license file and/or login credentials. · Fees are fixed or determinable: We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. Arrangements where a significant portion of the fee is due beyond 90 days from delivery are generally not considered to be fixed or determinable. · Collectibility is probable: We assess collectibility based on a number of factors, including the customer’s past payment history and its current creditworthiness. Payment terms generally range from 30 to 90 days from invoice date. If we determine that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, we defer the revenue and recognize it at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash payment. We apply the provisions of ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition , to all transactions involving the licensing of software products. In the event of a multiple element arrangement for a license transaction, we evaluate the transaction as if each element represents a separate unit of accounting taking into account all factors following the accounting standards. We apply ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, for cloud transactions to determine the accounting treatment for multiple elements. We also apply ASC 605-35 for fixed fee arrangements in which we use the percentage of completion method to recognize revenue when reliable estimates are available for the costs and efforts necessary to complete the implementation services. When such estimates are not available, the completed contract method is utilized. Under the completed contract method, revenue is recognized only when a contract is completed or substantially complete. When licenses are sold together with system implementation and consulting services, license fees are recognized upon shipment, provided that (i) payment of the license fees is not dependent upon the performance of the consulting and implementation services, (ii) the services are available from other vendors, (iii) the services qualify for separate accounting as we have sufficient experience in providing such services, have the ability to estimate cost of providing such services, and we have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), of fair value, and (iv) the services are not essential to the functionality of the software. We enter into arrangements with multiple-deliverables that generally include subscription, support, and professional services. We evaluate whether each of the elements in these arrangements represents a separate unit of accounting, as defined by ASC 605, using all applicable facts and circumstances, including whether (i) we sell or could readily sell the element unaccompanied by the other elements, (ii) the element has stand-alone value to the customer, and (iii) there is a general right of return. We use VSOE, of fair value for each of those units, when available. For revenue recognition with multiple-deliverable elements, in certain limited circumstances when VSOE of fair value does not exist, we apply the selling price hierarchy, which includes VSOE, third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), and best estimate of selling price (“BESP”). We determine the relative selling price for a deliverable based on VSOE, if available, or BESP, if VSOE is not available. We have determined that TPE is not a practical alternative due to differences in our service offerings compared to other parties and the availability of relevant third-party pricing information. We determine BESP by considering our overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include our discounting practices, the size and volume of our transactions, customer demographic, the geographic area where services are sold, price lists, go-to-market strategy, historical standalone sales and contract prices. The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by our management, taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As our go-to-market strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in relative selling prices, including both VSOE and BESP. Subscription and Support Revenue Cloud Revenue Cloud services revenue consists of fees from customers subscribing to our cloud-based service offerings. We recognize cloud services revenue ratably over the period of the applicable agreement as services are provided. Cloud agreements typically have an initial term of 12 to 36 months and automatically renew unless either party cancels the agreement. The majority of the cloud services customers purchase a combination of our cloud service and professional services. In some cases, the customer may also acquire a license for our software. We consider the applicability of ASC 985-605, on a contract-by-contract basis. In cloud services agreements, where the customer does not have the contractual right to take possession of the software, the revenue is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the contract. Invoiced amounts are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. We consider a software element to exist when we determine that the customer has the contractual right to take possession of our software at any time during the cloud term without significant penalty and can feasibly run the software on its own hardware or enter into another arrangement with a third party to host the software. Additionally, we have established VSOE for the cloud and maintenance and support elements of perpetual license sales, based on the prices charged when sold separately and substantive renewal terms. Accordingly, when a software element exists in a cloud services arrangement, license revenue for the perpetual software license element is determined using the residual method and is recognized upon delivery. Revenue for the cloud and maintenance and support elements is recognized ratably over the contractual time period. Professional services are recognized as described below under “Professional Services Revenue.” If VSOE of fair value cannot be established for the undelivered elements of an agreement, the entire amount of revenue from the arrangement is recognized ratably over the period that these elements are delivered. Term License Revenue Term license revenue includes arrangements where our customers receive license rights to use our software along with bundled maintenance and support services for the term of the contract. The majority of our contracts provide customers with the right to use one or more products up to a specific license volume. Certain of our license agreements specify that customers can exceed pre-determined base capacity levels, in which case additional fees are specified in the license agreement. Term license revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the license contract. Maintenance and Support Revenue Maintenance and support revenue consists of customers purchasing maintenance and support for our on-premise software. We use VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance contract, which is typically one year. Maintenance and support is renewable by the customer on an annual basis. Maintenance and support rates, including subsequent renewal rates, are typically established based upon a specified percentage of net license fees as set forth in the arrangement. License Revenue License revenue includes perpetual licenses sold to customers to use our software in conjunction with related maintenance and support services. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. In software arrangements that include rights to multiple software products and/or services, we use the residual method under which revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements based on VSOE of the fair value of such undelivered elements. The residual amount of revenue is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as revenue, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. Such undelivered elements in these arrangements typically consist of software maintenance and support, implementation and consulting services and in some cases, cloud services. We periodically sell to resellers. License sales to resellers as a percentage of total revenue were approximately 7% and 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. License sales to resellers as a percentage of total revenue were approximately 9% and 14% for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Revenue from sales to resellers is generally recognized upon delivery to the reseller but depends on the facts and circumstances of the transaction, such as our understanding of the reseller’s plans to sell the software, if there are any return provisions, price protection or other allowances, the reseller’s financial status and our experience with the particular reseller. Historically sales to resellers have not included any return provisions, price protections or other allowances. Professional Services Revenue Professional services revenue includes system implementation, consulting and training. For license transactions, the majority of our consulting and implementation services qualify for separate accounting. We use VSOE of fair value for the services to account for the arrangement using the residual method, regardless of any separate prices stated within the contract for each element. Our consulting and implementation service contracts are bid either on a fixed-fee basis or on a time-and-materials basis. Substantially all of our contracts are on a time-and-materials basis. For time-and-materials contracts, where the services are not essential to the functionality, we recognize revenue as services are performed. If the services are essential to functionality, then both the license revenue and the service revenue are recognized under the percentage of completion method. For a fixed-fee contract, we recognize revenue based upon the costs and efforts to complete the services in accordance with the percentage of completion method, provided we are able to estimate such cost and efforts. Under ASC 605-25, in order to account for deliverables in a multiple-deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. For cloud services, in determining whether professional services have standalone value, we consider the following factors for each professional services agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the professional services, the timing of when the professional services contract was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer’s satisfaction with the professional services work. We determined at or around July 1, 2013 that we had established standalone value for consulting and implementation services under cloud contracts. This was primarily due to the change in our business focus, the growing number of partners we trained and certified to perform these deployment services and the consequential sale of subscription services without bundled implementation service. Revenues earned from professional services related to consulting and implementation of a majority of our core subscription services are being accounted for separately from revenues earned from subscription services beginning July 1, 2013 when the standalone value was established for those professional services. For those contracts that have standalone value, we recognized the services revenue when rendered for time and material contracts, when the milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed price contracts or by percentage of completion basis if there is no acceptance criteria. For cloud, consulting and implementation services that do not qualify for separate accounting, we recognize the services revenue ratably over the estimated life of the customer cloud relationship, once the cloud has gone live or is system ready. We currently estimate the life of the customer cloud relationship to be approximately 28 months, based on the average life of all cloud customer relationships. Training revenue that meets the criteria to be accounted for separately is recognized when training is provided. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue primarily consists of payments received in advance of revenue recognition from cloud, term license, and maintenance and support services and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. We generally invoice customers in annual or quarterly installments. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable cloud or maintenance and support agreements. Deferred revenue is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration, invoice timing and new business linearity within the quarter. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent. Deferred Commissions Deferred commissions are the direct and incremental costs directly associated with cloud contracts with customers and consist of sales commissions to the Company’s direct sales force. The commissions are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related customer contracts, which are typically 12 to 36 months. The commission payments are paid based on contract terms in the month following the quarter in which the commissions are earned. The deferred commission amounts are recognized under “Sales and marketing” expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the terms of the related customer contracts, in proportion to the recognition of the associated revenue. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We extend unsecured credit to our customers on a regular basis. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers and are not interest bearing. We also maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potential uncollectible trade receivables. We review our trade receivables by aging category to identify specific customers with known disputes or collectibility issues. We exercise judgment when determining the adequacy of these reserves as we evaluate historical bad debt trends, general economic conditions in the U.S. and internationally, and changes in customer financial conditions. If we made different judgments or utilized different estimates, material differences may result in additional reserves for trade receivables, which would be reflected by charges in general and administrative expenses for any period presented. We write off a receivable after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the amount is deemed uncollectible. Deferred Financing Costs Costs relating to obtaining the credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs and accumulated amortization as of March 31, 2017 were $950,000 and $441,000, respectively, and are included net of bank borrowings in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs and accumulated amortization with Wells Fargo Bank as of June 30, 2016 were $820,000 and $294,000, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs recorded as interest expense was $60,000 and $147,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively, and $82,000 and $186,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively. When a loan is paid in full, any unamortized financing costs are removed from the related accounts and charged to operations. Leases Lease agreements are evaluated to determine whether they are capital or operating leases in accordance with ASC 840, Leases . When any one of the four test criteria in ASC 840 is met, the lease then qualifies as a capital lease. Capital leases are capitalized at the lower of the net present value of the total amount payable under the leasing agreement (excluding finance charges) or the fair market value of the leased asset. Capital lease assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, over a period consistent with our normal depreciation policy for tangible fixed assets, but not exceeding the lease term. Interest charges are expensed over the period of the lease in relation to the carrying value of the capital lease obligation. Rent expense for operating leases, which may include free rent or fixed escalation amounts in addition to minimum lease payments, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of each lease term. Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation . Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of the stock-based awards at the grant date requires significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding Black-Scholes valuation model assumptions such as stock price volatility and expected option term. Below is a summary of stock-based compensation included in the costs and expenses (unaudited, in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Stock-Based Compensation: Cost of revenue $ 33 $ 44 $ 112 $ 204 Research and development 57 104 226 374 Sales and marketing 1 46 117 116 General and administrative 39 52 134 294 Total stock-based compensation expense: $ 130 $ 246 $ 589 $ 988 We utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation of options granted. All shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our stock option plans are only issued out of an authorized reserve of shares of common stock which were previously registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Registration Statement on Form S-8. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we granted options to purchase 99,825 and 29,500 shares of common stock with a weighted-average fair value of $1.16 and $1.79, per share, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we granted options to purchase 185,925 and 290,250 shares of common stock with a weighted-average fair value of $1.23 and $2.08, per share, respectively, using the following assumptions: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Dividend yield — — — — Expected volatility 57 % 56 % 55 % 61 % Average risk-free interest rate 1.94 % 1.37 % 1.59 % 1.54 % Expected life (in years) 5.92 5.05 6.03 5.00 The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. We determined the appropriate measure of expected volatility by reviewing historic volatility in the share price of our common stock, as adjusted for certain events that management deemed to be non-recurring and non-indicative of future events. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the average U.S. Treasury Strips rate with maturities approximating the expected lives of the awards during the period, which approximate the rate in effect at the time of the grant. We base our estimate of expected life of a stock option on the historical exercise behavior, and cancellations of all past option grants made by the Company during the time period which its equity shares have been publicly traded, the contractual term of the option, the vesting period and the expected remaining term of the outstanding options. Total compensation cost, net of forfeitures, of all options granted but not yet vested as of March 31, 2017 was $477,462, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.22 years. There were 0 and 1,600 options exercised during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. There were 42,003 and 69,267 options exercised during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively. New Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU 2017-04”) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which eliminates Step 2 from goodwill impairment testing. The Board also eliminated requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (our fiscal 2021), including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , which provides specific guidance on how to classify restricted cash. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal 2019), including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory , which provides that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal 2019), including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 , Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal 2019), and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (our fiscal 2018), and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases, which requires that we recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (our fiscal 2020), and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (our fiscal 2019), including interim perio |
