Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Company | Company and Merger Agreement Red Hat, Inc., incorporated in Delaware, together with its subsidiaries (“Red Hat” or the “Company”) is a leading global provider of open source software solutions, using a community-powered approach to develop and offer reliable and high-performing operating system, virtualization, management, middleware, cloud, mobile and storage technologies. Open source software is an alternative to proprietary software and represents a different model for the development and licensing of commercial software code than that typically used for proprietary software. Because open source software code, generally, is freely shared, there are customarily no licensing fees for the use of open source software. Therefore, the Company does not recognize revenue from the licensing of the code itself. The Company provides value to its customers through the development, aggregation, integration, testing, certification, delivery, maintenance, enhancement and support of its Red Hat technologies, and by providing a level of performance, scalability, flexibility, reliability and security for the technologies the Company packages and distributes. Moreover, because communities of developers not employed by the Company assist with the creation of the Company’s open source offerings, opportunities for further innovation of the Company’s offerings are supplemented by these communities. The Company derives its revenue and generates cash from customers primarily from two sources: (i) subscription revenue and (ii) training and services revenue. These arrangements typically involve subscriptions to Red Hat technologies. The arrangements with the Company’s customers that produce this revenue and cash are explained in further detail in NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Merger Agreement On October 28, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with International Business Machines Corporation, a New York corporation (“IBM”), and Socrates Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBM (“Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBM (the “Merger”). The board of directors of each of the Company and IBM approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) canceled shares, (ii) dissenting shares, and (iii) subsidiary converted shares) shall be converted into the right to receive $190.00 in cash, without interest. On December 12, 2018, the Company filed its definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) with the SEC for a special meeting of its stockholders to be held on January 16, 2019 in connection with the Merger. The transaction is expected to close in the latter half of 2019, subject to certain conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. Until the closing, the Company will continue to operate as an independent company. The Company has incurred Merger-related costs of $27.9 million included in General and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 . Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, without limitation, (i) the approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to approve the Merger; (ii) the receipt of approvals, or the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods, under certain antitrust laws (including the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and clearance under Council Regulation 134/2004 of the European Union); and (iii) the absence of any temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other judgment or law issued by certain courts of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity, in each case prohibiting consummation of the Merger, and no action or proceeding by a governmental entity before any court or certain other governmental entities of competent jurisdiction seeking to enjoin, restrain or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Merger. Each party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to certain other customary conditions. The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for the Company and IBM. Subject to certain limitations, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either IBM or the Company if (i) the Merger is not consummated on or before October 28, 2019, which is subject to extension for two consecutive three month periods by either party if all conditions are satisfied other than receipt of regulatory approvals and absence of legal restraints, (ii) an order having the effect of making the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger becomes final and non-appealable and (iii) if the stockholder approval is not obtained. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of presentation The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated operating results, consolidated other comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 . Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim reporting. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, including notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 . Other than the accounting pronouncement adopted during the three months ended May 31, 2018 related to accounting for revenue from contracts with customers as described below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 . The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , now commonly referred to as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), effective March 1, 2018, using the full retrospective transition method. All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10-Q have been updated to comply with the new standard and such information is designated “as adjusted.” Certain amounts for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last day of February, and the Company identifies fiscal years by the calendar years in which they end. For example, the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 is referred to as “fiscal 2019 .” Consolidation policy The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. There are no significant foreign exchange restrictions on the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, goodwill and other long-lived assets, share-based compensation, income taxes and loss contingencies. Revenue recognition The Company derives its revenues from subscription contracts and training and service contracts. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations, as stipulated in the contracts, are transferred to a customer for an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those subscription contracts and training and service contracts. The Company applies the following five steps to recognize revenue: 1) Identify the contract with a customer. The Company determines that it has a contract with a customer when the contract is approved, the party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred can be identified, the payment terms for the products and services are identified, the customer’s ability and intent to pay can be determined, and the contract has commercial substance. Judgment is used to assess the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based upon factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract. The Company’s performance obligations are identified based on the products and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract and consist of (i) subscription offerings, including non-proprietary open-source software code delivered to the customer, software support subscriptions delivered to the customer, software support subscriptions embedded in partner products and learning subscriptions and (ii) training and services, including professional services sold at a fixed fee, professional services sold on a time-and-material-basis, training courses or units, and consulting units. In limited cases, the option to purchase additional subscription offerings or training and services may be offered at a price representing a material right. In such cases, the option to purchase is considered a distinct performance obligation. 3) Determine the transaction price. The Company determines transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring certain performance obligations to the customer. In determining the transaction price, variable consideration, if any, would be considered if, in management’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. The Company’s contracts do not contain significant financing components. Specifically, the Company does not typically extend customer payment terms beyond a standard 30 - to 60 -day term and as a result the Company has elected the one-year-or-less safe harbor expedient and does not impute any interest. The Company has elected to exclude all taxes from the transaction price (e.g. sales, use, value-added, etc.). Revenue is recognized net of such taxes. 4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. When a contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that one performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company typically determines SSP based on the observable price when the Company sells the subscriptions or training and services separately, taking into consideration the geographical region of the customer, type of offering and sales channel. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, the Company determines SSP either from the renewal rate paid for the performance obligation to the extent it is the same rate as stipulated in the initial customer contract or by using the expected-cost-plus-margin approach. 5) Recognize revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised subscription offerings and training and services to a customer. For each performance obligation, a determination is made as to whether the control is transferred over time or at a point in time. For performance obligations satisfied over time, a method to measure progress toward complete satisfaction is selected, based upon the most faithful depiction of performance. The selected method for each performance obligation type is applied consistently to similar contracts. Subscription revenue Subscription revenue is comprised of direct and indirect sales of subscriptions relating to Red Hat technologies. Accounts receivable and deferred revenue are recorded at the time a customer enters into a binding and non-cancellable subscription agreement for the purchase of a subscription, subscription services are made available to the customer and the customer is billed. The deferred revenue amount is recognized as revenue ratably over the subscription period. Red Hat technologies are generally offered with base subscription periods of either one year or three years ; the majority of the Company’s subscriptions have terms of one year. Under these subscription agreements, renewal rates are generally specified for renewal terms of one year or three years . Subscriptions generally entitle the end user to the technology itself and post-contract customer support, generally consisting of varying levels of support services as well as access to security updates, fixes, functionality enhancements, upgrades to the technologies, each on an if and when available basis, and compatibility with an ecosystem of certified hardware and software, during the term of the subscription. The Company sells its offerings through two principal channels: (1) direct, which includes sales by the Company’s sales force as well as web store sales, and (2) indirect, which includes certified cloud and service providers (“CCSPs”), distributors, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), systems integrators and value added resellers. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of Red Hat technologies ratably over the period of the subscription beginning on the commencement date of the subscription agreement. The Company has determined that the delivery of software code underlying the subscription is a distinct performance obligation as it is both capable of being distinct and is distinct within the context of a customer contract. The Company uses a non-proprietary open-source development and licensing model to provide its software technologies to customers and therefore the amount of transaction price allocated to the underlying software code is negligible. The Company derives a portion of its revenue from CCSPs that provide public clouds with, and allow users to consume, computing resources as a service. The Company earns revenue based on subscription units consumed by the CCSP or its end users. The Company uses its historical cloud-usage data to estimate the amount of revenue earned and recognized each month and adjusts to actual amounts earned upon receipt of usage reports from the CCSPs in the following month. The differences between actual amounts earned and estimates made have generally been insignificant. Training and services revenue Training and services revenue is comprised of revenue for consulting, engineering and customer training courses or units and education services. Consulting services consist of time-based units or fixed-fee arrangements. For time-based arrangements, revenue is recognized over time as these services are performed and for fixed-fee arrangements, revenue is recognized based on the proportion of services performed. Engineering services represent revenue earned under fixed-fee arrangements with the Company’s OEM partners and other customers to provide for significant modification and customization of Red Hat technologies. The Company recognizes revenue for these fixed-fee engineering services based on a proportional performance basis using actual costs incurred to date over the estimated total projected costs, which includes a representative profit margin. A representative profit margin is determined based on analysis of a population of similar contracts by region. Revenue for customer training and education services is recognized on the dates the services are performed. See NOTE 16 —Segment Reporting for further information, including revenue by geographic area and significant product and service offerings. Contract Balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. For multi-year arrangements, the Company will generally invoice customers upfront or annually at the beginning of each annual coverage period. See below for the accounting policy related to receivables and see NOTE 12 —Deferred Revenue and Performance Obligations for further information on deferred revenue balances. Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and other qualitative factors. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Unbilled receivables related to subscription and training and services contracts are included in accounts receivable. See NOTE 3 —Accounts Receivable for further information on accounts receivable balances. Deferred selling costs Deferred commissions are the incremental costs that are directly associated with non-cancellable subscription contracts with customers and consist of sales commissions and certain related fringe benefits earned by the Company’s sales force. The commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period that approximates the subscription period. In determining the period that approximates the subscription period, the Company utilizes a portfolio approach that allows for the analysis of customer contracts with similar characteristics. The Company has determined that the effects on the financial statements of the portfolio approach would not differ materially from an individual customer contract analysis approach. The commission payments are paid in full subsequent to the month in which the customer’s service commences. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable through the future revenue streams under the non-cancellable customer contracts. In addition, the Company has the ability and intent under the commission plans with its sales force to recover commissions previously paid to its sales force in the event that customers breach the terms of their subscription agreements and do not fully pay for their subscription agreements. See NOTE 5 —Deferred Selling Costs for further information on deferred commissions and the related amortization of deferred commissions. Recent accounting pronouncements Accounting pronouncements adopted In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2018-02 to give entities the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) to retained earnings. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of June 1, 2018. The Company opted not to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the enactment of the Tax Act to retained earnings. In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-01 to require equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values are allowed to be remeasured upon the occurrence of an observable price change or upon identification of an impairment. Along with ASU 2016-01, the Company evaluated the Accounting Standards Update 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2018-03”), which was issued in February 2018, and Accounting Standards Update 2018-04, Investments—Debt Securities (Topic 320) and Regulated Operations (Topic 980): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 117 and SEC Release No. 33-9273 (“ASU 2018-04”), which was issued in March 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, ASU 2018-03 and ASU 2018-04 as of March 1, 2018. The adoption of these standards did not significantly impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 requires the recognition of revenue when control of performance obligations as stipulated in the contracts, is transferred to a customer for an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange promised goods and services. The standard also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, ASC 606 and Subtopic 340-40 are referred to as “ASC 606.” The Company adopted ASC 606 as of March 1, 2018, utilizing the full retrospective method of transition, which requires a restatement of each prior reporting period presented. In adopting ASC 606, the Company used the practical expedient where the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations before the date of the initial application is not disclosed. The Company implemented new policies, processes and systems to enable both the preparation of financial information and internal controls over financial reporting in connection with its adoption of ASC 606. The impact of adopting ASC 606 on the Company’s fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 revenue was not material. The primary impact of adopting the standard related to the deferral of incremental commission and other costs of obtaining contracts with customers. Previously, the Company deferred direct and incremental commission costs to obtain a contract and amortized those costs on a straight-line basis over a period that approximated the subscription period, and under ASC 606, the Company now also defers related fringe benefit costs. Select adjusted unaudited financial statement information, which reflects the Company’s adoption of ASC 606, is set forth below. Consolidated balance sheets (in thousands): February 28, 2018 As Reported Adjustments As Adjusted Prepaid expenses $ 260,092 $ 7,105 $ 267,197 Deferred tax assets, net $ 93,300 $ (694 ) $ 92,606 Other assets, net $ 87,924 $ 1,536 $ 89,460 Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 427,086 $ 53 $ 427,139 Retained earnings $ 1,611,794 $ 7,894 $ 1,619,688 Consolidated statements of operations (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended November 30, 2017 Nine Months Ended November 30, 2017 As Reported Adjustments As Adjusted As Reported Adjustments As Adjusted Operating expense: Sales and marketing $ 308,388 $ (305 ) $ 308,083 $ 883,395 $ (2,672 ) $ 880,723 Net income $ 101,306 $ 303 $ 101,609 $ 271,355 $ 2,656 $ 274,011 Net income per share: Basic $ 0.57 $ — $ 0.57 $ 1.53 $ 0.02 $ 1.55 Diluted $ 0.54 $ 0.01 $ 0.55 $ 1.48 $ 0.01 $ 1.49 The Company’s adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on net cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities for any of the periods reported. Accounting pronouncements being evaluated In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2018-15”). The FASB issued ASU 2018-15 to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. The guidance is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 28, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations with respect to accounting for leases. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. This guidance is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 28, 2020. Along with ASU 2016-02, the Company is also evaluating Accounting Standards Update 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases (“ASU 2018-10”) and Accounting Standards Update 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842 Leases (“ASU 2018-11”). The Company expects to adopt the transition method, which will not require adjustments to comparative periods nor require modified disclosures in those comparative periods. Upon adoption, the Company expects to elect the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the carryforward of the historical lease classification. Further, upon implementation of the new guidance, the Company intends to elect the practical expedients to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes and to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. The Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11, now commonly referred to as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (“ASC 842”), including for example, any potential changes to and investments in the Company’s policies, processes, systems and internal controls over financial reporting that may be required to comply with the new guidance related to identifying and measuring right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. While the Company continues to evaluate the effect of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, it is expected that the operating leases, as disclosed in NOTE 13—Commitments and Contingencies contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enacted into law. This new law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation, elimination of the domestic production activities deduction and the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system. On November 26, 2018, the Department of the U.S. Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued proposed regulations under Section 163(j), which generally limits the amount of business interest expense that can be deducted in the current taxable year. Further, on November 28, 2018, the Department of the U.S. Treasury also issued proposed regulations under and related to foreign tax credits covered in the Internal Revenue Code Sections 78, 861, 901, 904, 954, 960, and 965. The adoption of the proposed regulations did not significantly impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. On August 21, 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued Notice 2018–68 providing guidance regarding amendments to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code contained in the Tax Act (“IRS Guidance”), which limit tax deductions for compensation granted to certain executives. As a result of this guidance, our provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 includes $18.0 million tax expense to reflect the impact of this tax deduction limitation which was previously recognized during the three months ended August 31, 2018. In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC Topic 740 —Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The Company has completed its analysis within fiscal 2019 consistent with the guidance provided in SAB 118, and any adjustments during this measurement period have been included in net earnings from continuing operations as an adjustment to income tax expense. The additional tax expense of $18.0 million resulting from the IRS Guidance discussed above was an adjustment during the SAB 118 measurement period. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 , of 15.3% and 17.8% , respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, research tax credits and the impact from the Tax Act. Tax expense for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 included net discrete tax benefits of $6.5 million and $17.6 million , respectively, primarily related to the impact from share-based compensation. Net discrete tax benefits of $17.6 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2018 is inclusive of the $18.0 million adjustment pursuant to SAB 118. For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2017 , the Company’s then-effective tax rate of 12.6% (1) and 18.3% (1) , respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, foreign income taxed at lower rates, research tax credits and the domestic-production-activities deduction. Tax expense for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2017 , included net discrete tax benefits of $15.5 million and $28.5 million , respectively, primarily related to net excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as separate and combined income tax returns in numerous state and international jurisdictions. The Company is currently subject to examination by various taxing jurisdictions. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of both ongoing and future examinations for the current and prior years, and believes that its provision for income taxes is adequate. The outcome of any one examination is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that some of these audits and negotiations may conclude during the next 12 months. As of November 30, 2018 , it is reasonably possible that total unrecognized tax benefits may be reduced by less than $1.0 million within the next 12 months primarily as a result of statute of limitation expirations in various tax jurisdictions , some of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. ____________________ (1) |

The convertible notes were sold in a private placement under a purchase agreement, dated as of October 1, 2014 , entered into by and among the Company and the initial purchasers, for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For additional information, see NOTE 11—Convertible Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 . Indenture On October 7, 2014, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with respect to the convertible notes with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Under the Indenture, the convertible notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 0.25% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2015. The convertible notes will mature on October 1, 2019 , unless previously purchased or converted. The convertible notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 13.6219 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $73.41 per share), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. Upon conversion of the convertible notes, holders will receive cash or shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. At their option, holders may convert their convertible notes prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2019, only upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. For example, during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ended on November 30, 2014 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price, the convertible notes become convertible at the holders’ option. The price of the Company’s common stock was greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price, which is $95.43 , for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of each of the fiscal quarters ended August 31, 2017 through November 30, 2018. Therefore, as of November 30, 2018 , the convertible notes remain convertible at the holders’ option until February 28, 2019. On and after April 1, 2019, holders may convert their convertible notes at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the convertible notes. During the third quarter of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 , the Company settled notices of conversion with respect to $4.6 million aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes and elected to settle such conversions by paying cash for the principal amount and issuing 30,257 shares of common stock for the excess conversion value. During the third quarter of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 , the Company recognized insignificant losses on settled conversions and $1.7 million of losses for the nine months ended November 30, 2018 . Total settled conversions as of November 30, 2018 amounted to $275.1 million aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes. The Company expects to settle conversions of $197.1 million in principal amount of the convertible notes in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 by paying cash for the principal amount and issuing shares of common stock for the excess conversion value. The Company continues to receive conversion requests and as of January 2, 2019 , such incremental requests totaled $26.4 million in principal amount of the convertible notes. The aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes remaining is expected to be $306.4 million after the expected conversion settlements as discussed above and the incremental conversion requests received as of January 2, 2019 . Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $178.56 on the last trading day of the third quarter of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 , the if-converted value of the convertible notes as of November 30, 2018 exceeded their principal amount by approximately $758.9 million . The Company continues to classify the net carrying amount of the convertible notes as a long-term liability, except for $192.0 million , classified as current and expected to be cash-settled within the next fiscal quarter. The equity component of the convertible notes will continue to be classified as additional paid-in capital because the Company has the option to settle the principal amount in shares. However, it is the Company’s intent to settle the principal amount of the convertible notes in cash. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. If certain corporate events described in the Indenture occur prior to the maturity date, the conversion rate will be increased for a holder who elects to convert its convertible notes in connection with such corporate event in certain circumstances. The convertible notes are not redeemable prior to maturity, and no sinking fund is provided for the notes. If the Company undergoes a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to purchase for cash all or any portion of their convertible notes. The fundamental change purchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the fundamental change purchase date. If the Merger with IBM is consummated, it will constitute a “fundamental change” under the Indenture. The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the convertible notes to be due and payable. In accounting for the issuance of the convertible notes, the Company separated the convertible notes into liability and equity components. The Company allocated the total transaction costs incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative fair values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible notes. The excess of the face value of the convertible notes as a whole over the carrying amount of the liability component (the “debt discount”) is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible notes. In addition, the debt discount is impacted by the derecognition of the original debt discount on early settlements of convertible notes. The convertible notes consisted of the following (in thousands): November 30, 2018 February 28, 2018 Liability component: Principal $ 529,865 $ 804,966 Less: debt issuance costs (2,448 ) (4,695 ) Less: debt discount (11,292 ) (32,271 ) Net carrying amount $ 516,125 $ 768,000 Equity component (1) $ 63,775 $ 96,890 __________ (1) Recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Additional paid-in capital. The following table includes total interest expense recognized related to the convertible notes (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 Coupon rate 0.25% per year, payable semiannually $ 250 $ 503 $ 935 $ 1,509 Amortization of convertible note issuance costs — liability component 715 694 2,247 2,047 Accretion of debt discount 3,347 4,936 12,223 14,693 Total interest expense related to convertible notes $ 4,312 $ 6,133 $ 15,405 $ 18,249 The fair value of the convertible notes, which was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market (Level 2), and the carrying value of convertible notes (the carrying value excludes the equity component of the convertible notes classified in equity) is as follows (in thousands): November 30, 2018 Fair Value Carrying Value Convertible notes $ 517,228 $ 516,125 Convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the convertible notes or their respective affiliates. In connection with the conversions of the convertible notes that settled in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 , the Company exercised a portion of the options that are part of the convertible note hedge transactions for 30,249 shares of the Company’s common stock. The convertible note hedge transactions are expected to offset, to the extent the Company’s common stock per share price does not exceed the $101.65 strike price of the warrants, which is subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events, the potential dilution with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the convertible notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted notes, as the case may be. To partially offset the $148.0 million cost of the convertible note hedge transactions, the Company issued warrants and received proceeds of $79.8 million . The number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrants total 10,965,630 , the number of shares originally underlying the convertible notes and the convertible note hedge transactions. The combination of the convertible note hedge transactions and the warrant transactions effectively increases the initial conversion price of the convertible notes from $73.41 per share to $101.65 per share. As a result, the warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to the Company’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions, exceeds the $101.65 strike price of the warrants.

Rent expense under operating leases for the three months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 was $14.8 million and $12.9 million , respectively. Rent expense under operating leases for the nine months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 was $41.9 million and $38.1 million , respectively. Product indemnification The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party from losses arising in connection with the Company’s services or products, or from losses arising in connection with certain events defined within a particular contract, which may include litigation or claims relating to intellectual property infringement, certain losses arising from damage to property or injury to persons or other matters. In each of these circumstances, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party’s claims. Further, the Company’s obligations under these agreements may in certain cases be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. The Company does not record a liability for claims related to indemnification unless the Company concludes that the likelihood of a material claim is probable and estimable. Payments pursuant to these indemnification claims during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 |

Deferred Revenue and Performance Obligations | Deferred Selling Costs Deferred selling costs include commissions paid to the Company’s sales associates that are the incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers. The commissions are deferred and amortized over a period to approximate the period of the subscription term. For further discussion on deferred commissions, see NOTE 2 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Current and non-current deferred commissions are included in Prepaid expenses and Other assets, respectively, in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are as follows (in thousands): November 30, 2018 February 28, 2018 (1) Deferred commissions, current $ 174,477 $ 188,944 Deferred commissions, non-current 35,210 48,653 Total deferred commissions $ 209,687 $ 237,597 ____________________ (1) As adjusted to reflect the impact of the retrospective application of ASC 606. See NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for detailed information on adoption of ASC 606. Amortization of deferred commissions is included in Sales and marketing expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions totaled $55.1 million and $46.7 million for the three months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 , respectively. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions totaled $174.8 million and $132.0 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 Activity in the Company’s deferred revenue accounts is presented in the following table (in thousands): February 28, 2018 Revenue recognized from opening balance (1) Deferred revenue, net (2) November 30, 2018 Deferred revenue, short-term $ 1,853,719 $ (1,515,184 ) $ 1,400,012 $ 1,738,547 Deferred revenue, long-term 741,453 — 49,124 790,577 Total deferred revenue $ 2,595,172 $ (1,515,184 ) $ 1,449,136 $ 2,529,124 ____________________ (1) Approximately $611.4 million , $538.0 million and $365.8 million of revenue was recognized in the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2019, respectively. (2) Includes revenue recognized from current period customer contracts and the impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. As of November 30, 2018 , the value of customer contracts allocated to performance obligations not yet satisfied, including $2.53 billion of total deferred revenue, was approximately $3.35 billion , of which approximately 60% is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. In addition to the approximately $3.35 billion of customer contract value allocated to performance obligations not yet satisfied, as of November 30, 2018 , the Company has offered customers options to purchase additional services at an agreed-upon price per hour that total approximately $145.4 million . The summation of the customer contract value allocated to performance obligations not yet satisfied and the options to purchase additional services equals approximately $3.50 billion |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share The Company computes basic net income per common share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding. Potential common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of share-based awards, settlement of convertible notes, or exercise of warrants. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 (1) November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 (1) Net income available to common stockholders $ 94,450 $ 101,609 $ 294,494 $ 274,011 Weighted average common shares outstanding 176,231 177,063 176,762 177,188 Incremental shares attributable to assumed vesting or exercise of outstanding equity award shares 2,726 3,518 3,380 3,281 Dilutive effect of convertible notes 3,648 4,109 3,730 2,928 Dilutive effect of warrants 3,457 1,470 3,629 — Diluted shares 186,062 186,160 187,501 183,397 Diluted net income per share $ 0.51 $ 0.55 $ 1.57 $ 1.49 ____________________ (1) As adjusted to reflect the impact of the retrospective application of ASC 606. See NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for detailed information on adoption of ASC 606. With respect to the Company’s convertible notes, the Company has the option to pay cash or deliver, as the case may be, either cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock for the aggregate amount due upon conversion of the convertible notes. The Company’s intent is to settle the principal amount of the convertible notes in cash upon conversion. As a result, upon conversion of the convertible notes, only the amounts payable in excess of the principal amounts of the convertible notes are considered in diluted EPS under the treasury stock method. See NOTE 8 —Convertible Notes for detailed information on the convertible notes. Warrants to purchase 10,965,630 shares of the Company’s common stock at $101.65 per share were outstanding during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 . For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 , the warrants were included in the computation of diluted EPS because the warrants’ exercise price was less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the related period. The following share awards are not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the aggregate value of proceeds considered received upon either exercise or vesting was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the related periods and the effect of including such share awards in the computation would be anti-dilutive (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 Number of shares considered anti-dilutive for calculating diluted EPS — 353 — 117 |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Share-based Awards | Share-based Awards The Company measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the employee requisite service period, typically on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The fair value of nonvested share awards, nonvested share units and performance share units are measured at their underlying closing share price on the day of grant. The following summarizes share-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 Cost of revenue $ 4,803 $ 4,199 $ 14,678 $ 12,408 Sales and marketing 25,218 23,278 67,562 64,708 Research and development 17,003 14,937 48,091 42,603 General and administrative 9,254 9,904 24,638 23,264 Total share-based compensation expense (1) $ 56,278 $ 52,318 $ 154,969 $ 142,983 __________ (1) Total share-based compensation expense included $4.2 million and $2.9 million , respectively, of expense related to the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) for the three months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 and $12.0 million and $8.8 million , respectively, for the nine months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 . Share-based compensation expense qualifying for capitalization was insignificant for each of the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017 . Accordingly, no share-based compensation expense was capitalized during these periods. The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based awards granted, by type: Three Months Ended November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 Shares and Shares Underlying Awards Weighted Shares and Weighted Service-based shares and share units 856,895 $ 125.61 699,066 $ 120.89 Nine Months Ended November 30, 2018 November 30, 2017 Shares and Weighted Average Per Share Award Fair Value Shares and Shares Underlying Awards Weighted Average Per Share Award Fair Value Service-based shares and share units 1,619,862 $ 141.23 1,585,904 $ 101.85 Performance share units—target 173,014 (1) $ 163.56 261,760 $ 87.99 Performance share awards 64,219 (2) $ 163.56 104,362 $ 87.99 Total share-based awards 1,857,095 $ 144.08 1,952,026 $ 99.25 __________ (1) Certain executives and senior management were awarded a target number of performance share units (“PSUs”). PSU grantees may earn up to 200% of the target number of PSUs. Half of the target number of PSUs can be earned by the grantees depending upon the Company’s financial performance measured against the financial performance of specified peer companies during a three-year performance period beginning on March 1, 2018. The remaining target number of PSUs can be earned by the grantees depending upon the Company’s total stockholder return performance measured against the total stockholder return performance of specified peer companies during a three-year period beginning on March 1, 2018. (2) Certain executives were granted restricted stock awards. These shares were awarded subject to the achievement of a specified dollar amount of revenue for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 (the “RSA Performance Goal”). If the Company fails to achieve the RSA Performance Goal, then all such shares are forfeited. If the Company achieves the RSA Performance Goal, then 25% of the restricted stock vests on or about July 16, 2019, and the remainder vests ratably on a quarterly basis over the course of the subsequent three years |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis | Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for the purchase of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for such asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable: Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s investments are comprised primarily of debt securities that are classified as available for sale and recorded at their fair values. Liquid investments with effective maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Investments with remaining effective maturities of twelve months or less from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments. Investments with remaining effective maturities of more than twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. The Company’s Level 1 financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. The Company’s Level 2 financial instruments, including derivative instruments, are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in less active markets or using other observable market inputs for comparable instruments. Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments classified as available for sale are included within accumulated other comprehensive income, net of any related tax effect. Realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method and upon realization, such amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to Other expense, net . Realized gains and losses and other than temporary impairments, if any, are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other expense, net . The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of its investments in income unless a decline in value is considered other than temporary. The vast majority of the Company’s investments are priced by pricing vendors. These pricing vendors use the most recent observable market information in pricing these securities or, if specific prices are not available for these securities, use other observable inputs. In the event observable inputs are not available, the Company assesses other factors to determine the security’s fair value, including broker quotes or model valuations. Independent price verifications of all holdings are performed by pricing vendors that are then reviewed by the Company. In the event a price fails a pre-established tolerance check, it is researched so that the Company can assess the cause of the variance to determine what the Company believes is the appropriate fair value. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with investments by investing primarily in investment-grade, liquid securities. The Company’s policy is designed to limit exposures to any one issuer depending on credit quality. Periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those issuers are considered in the Company’s investment strategy.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated operating results, consolidated other comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 . Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim reporting. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, including notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 . Other than the accounting pronouncement adopted during the three months ended May 31, 2018 related to accounting for revenue from contracts with customers as described below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 . The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , now commonly referred to as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), effective March 1, 2018, using the full retrospective transition method. All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10-Q have been updated to comply with the new standard and such information is designated “as adjusted.” Certain amounts for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last day of February, and the Company identifies fiscal years by the calendar years in which they end. For example, the fiscal year ending February 28, 2019 is referred to as “fiscal 2019 |
Consolidation policy | Consolidation policyThe accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. There are no significant foreign exchange restrictions on the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, goodwill and other long-lived assets, share-based compensation, income taxes and loss contingencies. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition The Company derives its revenues from subscription contracts and training and service contracts. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations, as stipulated in the contracts, are transferred to a customer for an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those subscription contracts and training and service contracts. The Company applies the following five steps to recognize revenue: 1) Identify the contract with a customer. The Company determines that it has a contract with a customer when the contract is approved, the party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred can be identified, the payment terms for the products and services are identified, the customer’s ability and intent to pay can be determined, and the contract has commercial substance. Judgment is used to assess the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based upon factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract. The Company’s performance obligations are identified based on the products and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract and consist of (i) subscription offerings, including non-proprietary open-source software code delivered to the customer, software support subscriptions delivered to the customer, software support subscriptions embedded in partner products and learning subscriptions and (ii) training and services, including professional services sold at a fixed fee, professional services sold on a time-and-material-basis, training courses or units, and consulting units. In limited cases, the option to purchase additional subscription offerings or training and services may be offered at a price representing a material right. In such cases, the option to purchase is considered a distinct performance obligation. 3) Determine the transaction price. The Company determines transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring certain performance obligations to the customer. In determining the transaction price, variable consideration, if any, would be considered if, in management’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. The Company’s contracts do not contain significant financing components. Specifically, the Company does not typically extend customer payment terms beyond a standard 30 - to 60 -day term and as a result the Company has elected the one-year-or-less safe harbor expedient and does not impute any interest. The Company has elected to exclude all taxes from the transaction price (e.g. sales, use, value-added, etc.). Revenue is recognized net of such taxes. 4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. When a contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that one performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company typically determines SSP based on the observable price when the Company sells the subscriptions or training and services separately, taking into consideration the geographical region of the customer, type of offering and sales channel. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, the Company determines SSP either from the renewal rate paid for the performance obligation to the extent it is the same rate as stipulated in the initial customer contract or by using the expected-cost-plus-margin approach. 5) Recognize revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised subscription offerings and training and services to a customer. For each performance obligation, a determination is made as to whether the control is transferred over time or at a point in time. For performance obligations satisfied over time, a method to measure progress toward complete satisfaction is selected, based upon the most faithful depiction of performance. The selected method for each performance obligation type is applied consistently to similar contracts. Subscription revenue Subscription revenue is comprised of direct and indirect sales of subscriptions relating to Red Hat technologies. Accounts receivable and deferred revenue are recorded at the time a customer enters into a binding and non-cancellable subscription agreement for the purchase of a subscription, subscription services are made available to the customer and the customer is billed. The deferred revenue amount is recognized as revenue ratably over the subscription period. Red Hat technologies are generally offered with base subscription periods of either one year or three years ; the majority of the Company’s subscriptions have terms of one year. Under these subscription agreements, renewal rates are generally specified for renewal terms of one year or three years . Subscriptions generally entitle the end user to the technology itself and post-contract customer support, generally consisting of varying levels of support services as well as access to security updates, fixes, functionality enhancements, upgrades to the technologies, each on an if and when available basis, and compatibility with an ecosystem of certified hardware and software, during the term of the subscription. The Company sells its offerings through two principal channels: (1) direct, which includes sales by the Company’s sales force as well as web store sales, and (2) indirect, which includes certified cloud and service providers (“CCSPs”), distributors, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), systems integrators and value added resellers. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of Red Hat technologies ratably over the period of the subscription beginning on the commencement date of the subscription agreement. The Company has determined that the delivery of software code underlying the subscription is a distinct performance obligation as it is both capable of being distinct and is distinct within the context of a customer contract. The Company uses a non-proprietary open-source development and licensing model to provide its software technologies to customers and therefore the amount of transaction price allocated to the underlying software code is negligible. The Company derives a portion of its revenue from CCSPs that provide public clouds with, and allow users to consume, computing resources as a service. The Company earns revenue based on subscription units consumed by the CCSP or its end users. The Company uses its historical cloud-usage data to estimate the amount of revenue earned and recognized each month and adjusts to actual amounts earned upon receipt of usage reports from the CCSPs in the following month. The differences between actual amounts earned and estimates made have generally been insignificant. Training and services revenue Training and services revenue is comprised of revenue for consulting, engineering and customer training courses or units and education services. Consulting services consist of time-based units or fixed-fee arrangements. For time-based arrangements, revenue is recognized over time as these services are performed and for fixed-fee arrangements, revenue is recognized based on the proportion of services performed. Engineering services represent revenue earned under fixed-fee arrangements with the Company’s OEM partners and other customers to provide for significant modification and customization of Red Hat technologies. The Company recognizes revenue for these fixed-fee engineering services based on a proportional performance basis using actual costs incurred to date over the estimated total projected costs, which includes a representative profit margin. A representative profit margin is determined based on analysis of a population of similar contracts by region. Revenue for customer training and education services is recognized on the dates the services are performed.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and other qualitative factors. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. All other balances are reviewed on a pooled basis by type of receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Unbilled receivables related to subscription and training and services contracts are included in accounts receivable. |
Deferred selling costs | Deferred selling costsDeferred commissions are the incremental costs that are directly associated with non-cancellable subscription contracts with customers and consist of sales commissions and certain related fringe benefits earned by the Company’s sales force. The commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period that approximates the subscription period. In determining the period that approximates the subscription period, the Company utilizes a portfolio approach that allows for the analysis of customer contracts with similar characteristics. The Company has determined that the effects on the financial statements of the portfolio approach would not differ materially from an individual customer contract analysis approach. The commission payments are paid in full subsequent to the month in which the customer’s service commences. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable through the future revenue streams under the non-cancellable customer contracts. In addition, the Company has the ability and intent under the commission plans with its sales force to recover commissions previously paid to its sales force in the event that customers breach the terms of their subscription agreements and do not fully pay for their subscription agreements. |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements Accounting pronouncements adopted In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2018-02 to give entities the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) to retained earnings. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of June 1, 2018. The Company opted not to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the enactment of the Tax Act to retained earnings. In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-01 to require equity investments with readily determinable fair values to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values are allowed to be remeasured upon the occurrence of an observable price change or upon identification of an impairment. Along with ASU 2016-01, the Company evaluated the Accounting Standards Update 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2018-03”), which was issued in February 2018, and Accounting Standards Update 2018-04, Investments—Debt Securities (Topic 320) and Regulated Operations (Topic 980): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 117 and SEC Release No. 33-9273 (“ASU 2018-04”), which was issued in March 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01, ASU 2018-03 and ASU 2018-04 as of March 1, 2018. The adoption of these standards did not significantly impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 requires the recognition of revenue when control of performance obligations as stipulated in the contracts, is transferred to a customer for an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange promised goods and services. The standard also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, ASC 606 and Subtopic 340-40 are referred to as “ASC 606.” The Company adopted ASC 606 as of March 1, 2018, utilizing the full retrospective method of transition, which requires a restatement of each prior reporting period presented. In adopting ASC 606, the Company used the practical expedient where the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations before the date of the initial application is not disclosed. The Company implemented new policies, processes and systems to enable both the preparation of financial information and internal controls over financial reporting in connection with its adoption of ASC 606. The impact of adopting ASC 606 on the Company’s fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 revenue was not material. The primary impact of adopting the standard related to the deferral of incremental commission and other costs of obtaining contracts with customers. Previously, the Company deferred direct and incremental commission costs to obtain a contract and amortized those costs on a straight-line basis over a period that approximated the subscription period, and under ASC 606, the Company now also defers related fringe benefit costs. Select adjusted unaudited financial statement information, which reflects the Company’s adoption of ASC 606, is set forth below. Consolidated balance sheets (in thousands): February 28, 2018 As Reported Adjustments As Adjusted Prepaid expenses $ 260,092 $ 7,105 $ 267,197 Deferred tax assets, net $ 93,300 $ (694 ) $ 92,606 Other assets, net $ 87,924 $ 1,536 $ 89,460 Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 427,086 $ 53 $ 427,139 Retained earnings $ 1,611,794 $ 7,894 $ 1,619,688 Consolidated statements of operations (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended November 30, 2017 Nine Months Ended November 30, 2017 As Reported Adjustments As Adjusted As Reported Adjustments As Adjusted Operating expense: Sales and marketing $ 308,388 $ (305 ) $ 308,083 $ 883,395 $ (2,672 ) $ 880,723 Net income $ 101,306 $ 303 $ 101,609 $ 271,355 $ 2,656 $ 274,011 Net income per share: Basic $ 0.57 $ — $ 0.57 $ 1.53 $ 0.02 $ 1.55 Diluted $ 0.54 $ 0.01 $ 0.55 $ 1.48 $ 0.01 $ 1.49 The Company’s adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on net cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities for any of the periods reported. Accounting pronouncements being evaluated In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2018-15”). The FASB issued ASU 2018-15 to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. The guidance is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 28, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations with respect to accounting for leases. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. This guidance is effective for the Company as of the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 28, 2020. Along with ASU 2016-02, the Company is also evaluating Accounting Standards Update 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases (“ASU 2018-10”) and Accounting Standards Update 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842 Leases (“ASU 2018-11”). The Company expects to adopt the transition method, which will not require adjustments to comparative periods nor require modified disclosures in those comparative periods. Upon adoption, the Company expects to elect the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the carryforward of the historical lease classification. Further, upon implementation of the new guidance, the Company intends to elect the practical expedients to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes, to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes and to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. The Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11, now commonly referred to as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (“ASC 842”), including for example, any potential changes to and investments in the Company’s policies, processes, systems and internal controls over financial reporting that may be required to comply with the new guidance related to identifying and measuring right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. While the Company continues to evaluate the effect of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, it is expected that the operating leases, as disclosed in NOTE 13—Commitments and Contingencies contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 |
Identifiable Intangible Assets | Identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks, copyrights and patents, purchased technologies, customer and reseller relationships and covenants not to compete, all of which are amortized over the estimated useful life, generally on a straight-line basis, with the exception of customer and reseller relationships, which are generally amortized over the greater of straight-line over the estimated useful life or the related asset’s pattern of economic benefit. Useful lives range from two years to 10 years |
Derivative Instruments | The Company transacts business in various foreign countries and is, therefore, subject to risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. From time to time, the Company enters into forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and fixed purchase obligations denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. All derivative instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The Company has elected not to prepare and maintain the documentation required to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and, therefore, changes in fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Share Based Awards | The Company measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the employee requisite service period, typically on a straight-line basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton |
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis | Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for the purchase of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for such asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable: Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s investments are comprised primarily of debt securities that are classified as available for sale and recorded at their fair values. Liquid investments with effective maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Investments with remaining effective maturities of twelve months or less from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments. Investments with remaining effective maturities of more than twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. The Company’s Level 1 financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. The Company’s Level 2 financial instruments, including derivative instruments, are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in less active markets or using other observable market inputs for comparable instruments. Unrealized gains and temporary losses on investments classified as available for sale are included within accumulated other comprehensive income, net of any related tax effect. Realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method and upon realization, such amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to Other expense, net . Realized gains and losses and other than temporary impairments, if any, are reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other expense, net . The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of its investments in income unless a decline in value is considered other than temporary. The vast majority of the Company’s investments are priced by pricing vendors. These pricing vendors use the most recent observable market information in pricing these securities or, if specific prices are not available for these securities, use other observable inputs. In the event observable inputs are not available, the Company assesses other factors to determine the security’s fair value, including broker quotes or model valuations. Independent price verifications of all holdings are performed by pricing vendors that are then reviewed by the Company. In the event a price fails a pre-established tolerance check, it is researched so that the Company can assess the cause of the variance to determine what the Company believes is the appropriate fair value. |
