Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | (a) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements included the accounts of us and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Initial Public Offering and Follow-On Public Offering | (b) Initial Public Offering and Follow-On Public Offering |
On April 17, 2013, we closed our IPO of 6,900,000 shares of common stock, including 900,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares. The public offering price of the shares sold in our IPO was $14.00 per share. All outstanding shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock converted to 14,335,869 shares of common stock and all outstanding preferred stock warrants converted into warrants to purchase common stock at the closing of our IPO. Our shares of common stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "RALY". We received proceeds from our IPO of $89.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, but before offering expenses of $2.9 million. |
On July 30, 2013, we closed our follow-on public offering in which we and certain of our stockholders sold an aggregate of 5,589,455 shares of common stock, including 729,058 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares. The public offering price of the shares sold in the offering was $24.75 per share. Of the 5,589,455 shares of common stock sold in the offering, 250,000 shares were sold by us and 5,339,455 shares were sold by selling stockholders. We received proceeds from the offering of $5.9 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, but before offering expenses of $0.6 million. |
|
Use of Estimates | (c) Use of Estimates |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The more critical estimates and related assumptions that affect our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are in the areas of revenue recognition; measurement of the fair value of equity instruments, including stock-based compensation; impairment assessment of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets; and income taxes. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and models, and significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |
|
Segments | (d) Segments |
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief operating decision makers are the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer review consolidated operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire company. We view our operations and manage our business as one operating segment. |
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents | (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents |
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of investments in a money market mutual fund, a bank money market account and certificates of deposit. We record money market funds at the net asset value reported by the investment manager as there are no restrictions on our ability, contractual or otherwise, to redeem our investments at the stated net asset value reported by the investment manager. |
|
Investment Securities | (f) Investment Securities |
Investment securities at January 31, 2015 consist of certificates of deposit and commercial paper. We classify our debt securities as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity debt securities are those debt securities in which we have the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. Held-to-maturity debt securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in the "Interest and other income" line item in our consolidated statements of operations. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Our consolidated statements of operations do not reflect any impairment (that is, the difference between the security's amortized cost basis and fair value) on held-to-maturity debt securities due to the fact that management has no intent to sell and believes that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell a security prior to any recovery. |
|
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | (g) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
Trade accounts receivable represent trade receivables from customers when we have invoiced for subscriptions, support, perpetual software licenses or professional services and have not received payment. Receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in our accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and our customers' financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables' aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. |
Allowance for doubtful accounts activity and balances are presented below (in thousands): |

|
Property and Equipment and Acquired Intangible Assets | (h) Property and Equipment and Acquired Intangible Assets |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: |
|
Asset class | | Useful life | | | | | | | | |
Computer equipment | | 3 years | | | | | | | | |
Office equipment | | 5 years | | | | | | | | |
Office furniture | | 5 years | | | | | | | | |
Computer software | | 3 years | | | | | | | | |
Leasehold improvements | | The shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease | | | | | | | | |
|
Upon retirement or sale, the costs of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in other gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed in the period incurred. |
Our acquired intangible assets consist of developed software technology and trademark and domain names. The values assigned to our intangible assets are based on estimates and judgments. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: |
|
Asset class | | Useful life | | | | | | | | |
Developed software technology | | 3 - 5 years | | | | | | | | |
Trademark and domain names | | 15 years | | | | | | | | |
|
We evaluate long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. For the purposes of impairment testing, we have determined that we have one group of assets. If this evaluation indicates the carrying value will not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted expected future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets, we reduce the carrying amount to the estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow modeling. To date, no such impairment has occurred. |
|
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | (i) Goodwill and Intangible Assets |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired enterprise over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We apply ASC 350, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other," and will perform an annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year and more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment may have occurred. For the purposes of impairment testing, we have determined that we have one reporting unit and we make a qualitative assessment to determine if goodwill may be impaired. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value, we then compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount. If the carrying value of a reporting unit were to exceed its fair value, we would then compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value would be charged to operations as an impairment loss. Any excess of the carrying value over the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is also charged to operations as an impairment loss. To date, no such impairment has occurred. |
|
Income Taxes | (j) Income Taxes |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in our statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Our U.S. net deferred tax asset has been completely reduced by a valuation allowance as management cannot conclude that realization of the deferred tax asset is assured, on a more likely than not basis, at each balance sheet date, due primarily to our history of operating losses. |
We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurred. All current tax positions are considered more likely than not of being sustained with no measurement for possible settlements. |
|
Deferred Revenue | (k) Deferred Revenue |
Deferred revenue comprises unrecognized subscription and support, which includes hosting and maintenance, perpetual licenses, tool training, enhanced support and prepaid professional services revenue. With the exception of perpetual licenses, these arrangements are initially recorded as deferred revenue upon the commencement of the subscription, hosting or maintenance period, and revenue is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations ratably over the term of the arrangement. Perpetual licenses are generally recognized upon delivery of the software product to the customer. Prepaid professional services arrangements are recorded initially as deferred revenue and are recognized as the services are performed. |
|
Revenue Recognition | (l) Revenue Recognition |
We generate revenue primarily from three sources: (1) subscriptions and support; (2) perpetual licenses; and (3) professional services. Subscription and support revenue is primarily comprised of fees that give customers access to our suite of cloud-based solutions, as well as optional hosting and maintenance related to perpetual licenses. Professional services revenue largely encompasses fees related to the instruction of Agile software development methodologies, which includes reimbursed expenses and training related directly to the product. |
Revenue is recognized when all of the following conditions have been met: |
• | there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; | | | | | | | | | |
• | the service has been provided or the product has been delivered; | | | | | | | | | |
• | the price is fixed or determinable; and | | | | | | | | | |
• | collection of the fees is sufficiently assured. | | | | | | | | | |
Signed agreements, which may include purchase orders, are used as evidence of an arrangement. In cases where both a signed contract and a purchase order exist, we consider the signed contract to be persuasive evidence of the arrangement. Product delivery occurs when we provide the customer with access to the software via an electronic notification or license key. We assess whether a fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of the arrangement, primarily based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. We assess collectability of the fee based on a number of factors, such as the collection history and creditworthiness of the customer. If we determine that collectability is not sufficiently assured, revenue is deferred until collectability becomes sufficiently assured, generally upon receipt of cash. |
Subscription and support revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each contract. |
When multiple deliverables included in an arrangement are separable into different units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units of accounting based on their relative selling prices. Multiple deliverable arrangement accounting guidance provides a hierarchy to use when determining the relative selling price for each unit of accounting. This guidance provides that vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of selling price, based on the price at which the item is regularly sold by the vendor on a stand-alone basis, should be used if it exists. We use VSOE to determine the stand-alone selling prices of subscription, hosting, maintenance, and professional services because substantially all separate sales of these deliverables fall within a reasonable range of prices. All unique product offerings are grouped based upon size of customer as a result of our tiered volume pricing. VSOE for professional services is determined regardless of customer size as customer size does not significantly impact the prices charged. We have concluded that all products and services for each single unit of accounting have VSOE, other than perpetual licenses discussed below. |
We monitor compliance with VSOE by using a bell curve approach. Sales of subscription, hosting, maintenance and professional services are analyzed to determine whether 80% of the transactions are within a range of 15% of the median of the transactions for an appropriate group of customers. |
When VSOE exists for all undelivered elements of the contract, perpetual license fee revenue is generally recognized upon delivery of the software product to the customer, provided the other revenue recognition conditions are met. We have established VSOE for all undelivered elements of our perpetual license arrangements. Maintenance revenue consists of fees for providing unspecified software updates on a when and if available basis and technical support for software products. Hosting revenue relates to fees for hosting perpetual license software that the customer has purchased at our third-party data centers. Our perpetual license customers who purchase hosting have the right to take possession of the software at any time. Hosting and maintenance revenue as well as enhanced support is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. |
Professional services revenue is accounted for separately from subscription and perpetual license revenue when VSOE exists and, for subscriptions, has stand-alone value to the customer. Professional services are generally provided on a time-and-materials basis. The services that are provided on a time-and-materials basis are recognized as services are provided. However, professional services that do not have stand-alone value to the customer are recognized ratably over the remaining subscription period. We present reimbursements received for out of pocket expenses within professional services revenue. Reimbursement revenue was approximately $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Research and Development | (m) Research and Development |
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our research and development staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, certain software licenses and allocated overhead, including depreciation. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We develop software, which is sold as a subscription or licensed for a stated term or in perpetuity. Qualifying software development costs are required to be capitalized once technological feasibility of the software has been established. Costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Technological feasibility is established when we have completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to determine that a product can be produced to meet its design specifications, including functions, features, and technical performance requirements. Capitalization of costs ceases when the product is available for general use. |
To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility and the general availability of such software has been short. Consequently, software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been insignificant, and therefore, we have not capitalized any software development costs to date. |
|
Leases | (n) Leases |
We lease our facilities under operating leases. For leases that contain rent escalation or rent concession provisions, we record the total rent expense during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We record the difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent expense as a current liability in other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Rent expense was $3.2 million, $2.3 million and $1.6 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Advertising | (o) Advertising |
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and include search engine fees, banner ads, digital marketing and events. Advertising expense was $3.3 million, $2.8 million and $1.7 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Advertising costs are recorded in sales and marketing expense within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
|
Commissions | (p) Commissions |
Commissions are recorded as a component of sales and marketing expense and consist of the variable compensation paid to our sales force. Sales commissions are earned by employees and recorded at the time that a customer has entered into a binding purchase agreement. Commissions paid to sales personnel are recoverable only in cases where we cannot collect the invoiced amounts associated with a sales order. Commission expense was $9.5 million, $8.5 million and $7.9 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation | (q) Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-based compensation to employees and members of our Board of Directors is measured at the grant date fair values of the respective options to purchase our common stock, and expensed on a straight-line basis over the period in which the holder is required to provide services, which is usually the vesting period. We determine the grant date fair value of all stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. An estimate of forfeitures is applied when calculating compensation expense. Restricted stock and RSUs are measured at fair value based on our share price at the date of grant and expensed on a straight-line basis over the period in which the holder is required to provide services, which is generally the vesting period. We recognize compensation expense related to shares issued pursuant to the ESPP, on a straight-line basis over the offering period, which is generally one year with the exception of the initial purchase period within an offering period, which is generally six months. |
|
Preferred Stock Warrant Liability | (r) Preferred Stock Warrant Liability |
We accounted for warrants to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock as a liability. The warrants were recorded at fair value, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and revalued at each balance sheet date. The change in the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a component of interest expense. The preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon the closing of our IPO in April 2013. |
|
Foreign Currency Translation | (s) Foreign Currency Translation |
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. We conduct business in the United Kingdom through a branch of RSDI and in Australia, Canada, Finland, the Netherlands and Singapore through subsidiaries of RSDI. The functional currency of the branch and subsidiaries are the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Euro and the Singaporean dollar. All assets and liabilities for the branch and subsidiaries denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. The effects of foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). |
We maintain short-term intercompany payables denominated in each subsidiary's functional currency. Gains and losses associated with remeasurement of these payables into U.S. dollars are presented within loss on foreign currency transactions included in the consolidated statements of operations as we intend to settle these payables in cash. |
|
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers | (t) Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers |
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. At January 31, 2015 and 2014, we had $38.2 million and $60.0 million, respectively, in certificates of deposits at various financial institutions, of which $28.4 million and $50.3 million, respectively, are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Of the certificates of deposits held at January 31, 2015, $1.8 million were classified as cash equivalents and $36.4 million were classified as short-term investments. All certificates of deposits held at January 31, 2014 were classified as cash equivalents. Primarily all of the remaining amount of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were held at financial institutions that we believe to be creditworthy and represent minimal risk of loss of principle. We invest in commercial paper with a minimum rating of A-1, P-1, F-1 or better by two of the three Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations, which includes Moody's investor service, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings. Large bank certificates of deposit must have a minimum rating of A or better. |
We perform ongoing evaluations of our customers' financial condition and do not require any collateral to support receivables. As of January 31, 2015 and 2014, no customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, no customer represented more than 10% of revenue. |
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | (u) Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), we meet the definition of an emerging growth company. We have irrevocably elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. |
On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This ASU is the result of a convergence project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board. The core principle behind ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for delivering those goods and services. This model involves a five-step process that includes identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations. The guidance in the ASU supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early application not permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." The new standard provides guidance around management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements at this point in time. As of January 31, 2015, we have not adopted this standard. |
