Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business — Ooma, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading provider of innovative communications solutions and other connected services to small business, home, and mobile users. The Company’s unique hybrid Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform, consisting of its proprietary cloud, on-premises appliances, mobile applications, and end-point devices, provides the connectivity and functionality that enables solutions. The Company was incorporated in Delaware on November 19, 2003 and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and includes the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Fiscal Year End— The last day of Company’s fiscal year is January 31, fiscal year end January 31, 2017 is referred as fiscal 2017, fiscal year end January 31, 2016 is referred as fiscal 2016 and fiscal year end January 31, 2015 is referred as fiscal 2015. Use of Estimates —The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, the allowance for returns, stock-based compensation and warrants, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, inventory valuation, regulatory fees and indirect tax accruals, and accounting for income taxes, including valuation allowances and fair value measurements. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions believed to be reasonable by management. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates. Reverse Stock Split — Effective July 6, 2015, the Company completed a one-for-two reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, convertible preferred stock, stock options, warrants to purchase preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock, as approved by its Board of Directors (the “Board”). All shares and warrants and per share and warrant amounts set forth herein give effect to this reverse stock split. Initial Public Offering — In July 2015, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at the initial public offering price of $13.00 per share. The net proceeds from the sale of the shares was $56.9 million after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $4.5 million and $3.6 million of offering costs. See “Note 7. Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability” and “Note 8. Common Stock and Preferred Stock” for more information related to the IPO. Secondary Offering — In January 2017, the Company completed a secondary offering, in which certain stockholders of the Company affiliated with Worldview Technology Partners (the “Selling Stockholders”) sold an aggregate of 3,275,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $8.65 per share, including 425,000 shares of common stock sold upon the underwriters’ exercise of the overallotment option. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the offering. Revenue Recognition —The Company derives revenue from two sources: (1) subscription and services revenue, which are generated from the sale of subscription plans and other services; and (2) product and other revenue. Products and services are sold directly to end-customers via the Company’s website and through distributors and retailers. The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: • Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. • Delivery has occurred. • Collection of the fees is reasonably assured . • The fee is fixed or determinable. Subscription and Services Revenue The Company generates subscription and services revenue by selling subscriptions for communications solutions, as well as other connected services. Subscription revenue is derived primarily from recurring monthly and annual payments related to service plans such as Ooma Basic, Ooma Office and Premier, international calling plans, and other subscriptions. Subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual service term. Subscription and services revenue also includes revenue generated from payments for qualified lead generation, prepaid international calls and directory assistance, which are recognized based on actual usage. The Company also earns revenue from the display of advertisements through the Talkatone mobile application, primarily based on advertisement impressions displayed. The Company recognizes revenue from mobile advertising on a net basis, because it is not the primary obligor to advertisers. Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of meeting revenue recognition criteria. The Company’s telephony services are sold as monthly or annual subscriptions, payable in advance. The Company recognizes deferred telephony services revenue on a ratable basis over the term of the contract as the services are provided. For all arrangements, any revenue that has been deferred and is expected to be recognized beyond one year is not significant and is included in long term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Product and Other Revenue The Company generates product revenue from the sale of on-premise appliances and end-point devices, including shipping and handling fees. The Company also generates other revenue from porting fees to enable customers to transfer their existing phone numbers. Product and other revenue for direct end-customers are billed to the customer’s credit card at the time an on-line order is submitted by the customer via the Company’s website and recognized when the product has been shipped to the customer. The Company also generates product revenue from sales through distributors, retailers and resellers (collectively the “channel partners”) which are based on written purchase authorizations. The Company’s distribution agreements with its channel partners typically contain clauses for price protection and rights of return, which result in prices for these transactions not being fixed or determinable and increases the difficulty of estimating returns from the channel partners. Accordingly, the Company records shipments to the channel partners, where the right of return exists, as deferred revenue and defers recognition of revenue on these sales until the title transfers to the end-customer. The Company assesses the ability to collect from its channel partners based on a number of factors, including credit worthiness and payment history of the distributor or retail partner. The Company records revenue net of any sales-related taxes that are billed to its customers. Substantially all of the Company’s arrangements are multiple-element arrangements, which consist of an on-premise appliance and telephony services. The arrangement may also contain a bundled end-point device and a subscription plan for telephony services. Monthly telephony services and end-point devices purchased after the original multi-element arrangement are optional purchases that are accounted for as separate arrangements and are not considered a deliverable in the sale of the on-premise appliance. The Company has determined that each unit of accounting has stand-alone value and accounts for each separately. The Company allocates revenue to each unit of accounting based on an estimated selling price at the inception of the arrangement. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each separate unit of accounting using the relative selling price of each unit. The Company determines the estimated selling price for each deliverable using vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of selling price or third-party evidence, or TPE, of selling price, if it exists. If neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exists for a deliverable, the Company uses the best estimate of selling price, or BESP, of each deliverable in its allocation of arrangement consideration. Revenue allocated to each deliverable, limited to the amount not contingent on future performance, is then recognized when the basic revenue recognition criteria are met for the respective deliverable. The Company determines VSOE of selling price for telephony services and end-point devices based on historical standalone sales to customers. In determining VSOE of selling price, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling prices for a product or service fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range of the median selling price. The Company does not have VSOE or TPE for its on-premise appliance and estimates BESP by considering company-specific factors such as pricing strategies, direct product and other costs, and bundling and discounting practices. The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated sales returns from end-users and customer credits at the time the related revenue is recognized. Sales returns and customer credits are estimated based on historical experience, current trends and expectations regarding future experience. The Company monitors the accuracy of its sales reserve estimates by reviewing actual returns and credits and adjusts them for future expectations to determine the adequacy of current reserve needs. If actual future returns and credits differ from past experience, additional reserves may be required. Cash Equivalents and Short-term investments —The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale for use in current operations, if required, and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) within accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. All realized gains and losses and unrealized losses resulting from declines in fair value that are other-than-temporary are recorded in other expense, net in the period of occurrence. The Company uses the specific identification method to determine the realized gains and losses on investments. For all investments in marketable securities, the Company assesses whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. If the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost basis, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary if (i) the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its entire amortized cost basis, or (ii) the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security. If an impairment is considered other-than-temporary based on condition (i), the entire difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of the security is recognized in earnings. If an impairment is considered other-than-temporary based on condition (ii), the amount representing credit losses, defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis of the security, will be recognized in earnings, and the amount relating to all other factors will be recognized in other comprehensive income. The Company evaluates both qualitative and quantitative factors such as duration and severity of the unrealized losses, credit ratings, default and loss rates of the underlying collateral, structure and credit enhancements to determine if a credit loss may exist. Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting guidance for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value: 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 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 that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company recognizes transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 classifications as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfers. The carrying value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and other current assets and current liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturities. Segment Reporting — The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company operates in one reportable segment. The Company markets its products and services in the United States and in foreign countries through its direct sales force and indirect distribution channels. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue, based on the customer’s billing address, was derived from customers in the United States for the years ended January 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. All of the Company’s long-lived assets were attributable to operations in the United States as of January 31, 2017 and 2016. Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The purpose of reporting comprehensive income (loss) is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an entity that result from recognized transactions and other economic events of the period resulting from transactions from non-owner sources. In fiscal 2017 and 2016, the Company’s other comprehensive loss includes unrealized (loss) gain of $(28,000) and $17,000, respectively, from its available-for-sale securities. The Company did not have any components of other comprehensive income (loss) in fiscal 2015, as such the net loss for fiscal 2015 reported equaled the comprehensive loss. Net Loss per Share of Common Stock —Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. Prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company applied the two-class method for calculating and presenting earnings per share as Series Alpha, Series Alpha -1 and Series Beta convertible preferred stock was considered participating securities due to the rights of cumulative preferred return. The Company’s participating securities did not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. As such, the net loss was attributed entirely to common stockholders. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods. Concentration of Credit Risk —Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivables. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are held by financial institutions that management believes are of high-credit quality. Such investments and deposits may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company performs credit evaluations of its channel partners’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for sales made on credit. One customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balances at January 31, 2017 and January 31, 2016, respectively. The concentration of accounts receivable was as follows: As of January 31, 2017 2016 Customer A 11 % * Customer B * 13 % * represents less than 10% during the period There were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of revenue during fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Returns —The Company’s receivables are recorded when billed. The carrying value of the accounts receivable, net of the allowance for returns represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company determines allowances for returns based on its historical experience. As of January 31, 2017 and January 31, 2016, the Company recorded allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for returns of $0.2 million and $0 on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Inventories —Inventories, which consist of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost to purchase or the market value of such inventory, and include the cost to purchase manufactured products, allocated labor and overhead. Inventory is valued using the first-in, first-out method for all inventories. The Company writes down the inventory value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based on management’s assessment of future demand and market conditions, and establishes a new cost basis for the inventory. Deferred Inventory Costs —Deferred inventory cost represents the inventory that has been shipped to a channel partner for which the retailer or distributor has a right of return. The cost of the product sold is recognized contemporaneously with the recognition of revenue, when the end customer has purchased the on-premise appliance or end-point device. Website Development Costs —The Company capitalizes certain costs to develop its websites when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets, which approximates two years. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalized approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million of website development costs in fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively. Property and Equipment —Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using the straight-line method, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the life or improve the asset are expensed as incurred. Goodwill and Intangible Assets —The Company records the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as goodwill. Goodwill of $1.1 million was recognized following the acquisition of Talkatone in fiscal 2015. The Company performs an impairment test of its goodwill in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment arise. The Company has a single reporting unit and consequently evaluates goodwill for impairment based on an evaluation of the fair value of the Company as a whole. No impairment has been recognized related to the goodwill balance as of January 31, 2017 and January 31, 2016. The Company records purchased intangible assets at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Purchased intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated useful lives, which range from one to seven years. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets —Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, capitalized website development costs, and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company did not record any impairment charges in any of the periods presented. Convertible Preferred Stock —The Company recorded convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. The convertible preferred stock was recorded outside of stockholders’ equity because the shares contained liquidation features that were not solely within the Company’s control. The Company had elected not to adjust the carrying values of the convertible preferred stock to the liquidation preferences of such shares because it was uncertain whether or when an event would occur that would obligate the Company to pay the liquidation preferences to holders of shares of convertible preferred stock. Upon the completion of the IPO all shares of the convertible preferred stock were converted to shares of common stock. Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability —The Company did not have outstanding warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock as of January 31, 2017 and January 31, 2016. Prior to the completion of the IPO in July 2015, the Company had recorded freestanding warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock as derivative financial liabilities as the terms of the warrants are not fixed due to potential adjustments in the exercise price and the number of shares issuable under the warrants. Some of the warrants issued in connecting with debt financing provided for adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares upon an equity financing at a lower price and also provided for a contingent cash settlement, both of which preclude equity classification of the warrants. The convertible preferred stock warrants were initially recorded at fair value when issued, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations at each period end while such instruments were outstanding and classified as liabilities. The estimated fair values of outstanding preferred stock warrant liabilities were measured using Monte-Carlo simulation and Black-Scholes valuation models. The fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrants issued in connection with debt agreements was recorded as a debt discount that was amortized as non-cash interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the expected repayment period of the debt agreement. The Company adjusted the liability for changes in fair value until the completion of the IPO in July 2015. Upon conversion of the underlying preferred stock to common stock, the related warrant liability was remeasured to fair value and the remaining liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The warrant that was subject to contingent cash settlement was settled and the warrant holder was paid $0.6 million. Shipping and Handling Costs —Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in cost of product and other revenue. Research and Development —Research and development costs, including new product development, are charged to operating expenses as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations. Such costs included personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, supplies, services, depreciation, and allocated facilities costs. Advertising —The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred, except for the cost of producing television advertising, which is expensed on the first date of airing. Advertising costs included in sales and marketing expenses were $16.5 million, $13.9 million and $14.8 million for the years ended January 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Advertising costs incurred by channel partners are recorded as reduction of revenue. These costs totaled $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.8 million for the years ended January 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation —Stock-based compensation expense is recognized under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation . ASC 718 requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the fair value of those awards on the grant date. The Company’s stock-based awards include stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and purchase rights under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted to employees is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the equity award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of each RSU granted is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense for options granted to non-employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the service period. Compensation expense for non-employees’ stock options subject to vesting is remeasured as of each reporting date until the stock options are vested, and the change in value, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the period the related services are performed. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on the straight-line method for its equity awards. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Income Taxes —The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. Recently Adopted Accounting Standard In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-11 (ASC 330) , Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 (ASC 205) , Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 and approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09. In March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, respectively that clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations, collectability criterion and noncash consideration of the new standard. ASU 2014-09 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted and the new standard can be adopted by using (i) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. The Company does not plan to early adopt the new standard. The Company is in the early stages of evaluating the impact of the new standard on its accounting policies, processes, and system requirements and has not made a final decision regarding the adoption method. The Company's final determination will depend on a number of factors, such as the significance of the impact of the new standard on its financial results, system readiness, including that of software procured from third-party providers, and its ability to accumulate and analyze the information necessary to assess the impact on prior period financial statements, as necessary. While the Company continues to assess the potential impacts of the new standard, the Company cannot reasonably estimate quantitative information related to the impact of the new standard on its financial statements at this time. |
