Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, “Interim Financial Statements” and the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to those rules and regulations, the Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosure it normally includes in its annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain amounts in prior periods' financial statements have been recast and reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. On February 8, 2021, the Company announced a three-for-one split of its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 12, 2021. Trading of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”), began on a split-adjusted basis on March 15, 2021. All common stock and per share data have been retroactively adjusted for the impact of the split. In management’s opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the 2020 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 9, 2021 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 included in the 2020 Form 10-K, unless otherwise stated. c. Revenue Recognition: The Company generates revenues in the form of software license fees and related maintenance and services fees. Subscription revenues are comprised of time-based licenses whereby customers use the Company's software with related maintenance (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available) for a specified period. Subscriptions are sold on premises and are recognized from sales of subscription licenses to new and existing customers. When products are purchased as a subscription, the associated maintenance is included as part of the subscription revenues. Perpetual licenses have the same functionality as subscriptions. Maintenance and services primarily consist of fees for maintenance and services of perpetual license sales (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available) and to a lesser extent professional services, which focus on both operationalizing the software and training the Company’s customers to fully leverage the use of its products, although the user can benefit from the software without the Company's assistance. The Company sells its products worldwide directly to a network of distributors and value-added resellers, and payment is typically due within 30 to 60 calendar days of the invoice date. The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. As such, the Company identifies a contract with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract and recognizes revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Subscription software and perpetual license revenues are recognized at the point of time when the software license has been delivered and the benefit of the asset has transferred. Maintenance associated with subscription licenses is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement and is included as part of the subscription revenues line item. The Company recognizes revenues from maintenance of perpetual license sales ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance contract. The term of the maintenance contract is usually one year. Renewals of maintenance contracts create new performance obligations that are satisfied over the new term with the revenues recognized ratably over the period. Revenues from professional services consist mostly of time and material services. The performance obligations are satisfied, and revenues are recognized, when the services are provided or once the service term has expired. The Company enters into contracts that can include combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. The license is distinct upon delivery as the customer can derive the economic benefit of the software without any professional services, updates or technical support. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price out of the total consideration of the contract. For maintenance, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the price at which the Company separately sells a renewal contract. For professional services, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the price at which the Company separately sells those services. For software licenses, the Company uses the residual approach to determine the standalone selling prices due to the lack of history of selling software license on a standalone basis and the highly variable sales price. Trade receivables are generally recorded at the invoice amount mostly for a one year period, net of an allowance for credit losses. Deferred revenues represent mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for maintenance and professional services. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. Pursuant to these contracts, customers are not invoiced for subsequent years until the annual renewal occurs. The amount of revenues recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenues balance was $86,329 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company does not grant a right of return to its customers, except for one of its resellers. In 2020 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, there were no returns from this reseller. For information regarding disaggregated revenues, refer to Note 7. d. Contract Costs: The Company pays sales commissions to sales and marketing and certain management personnel based on their attainment of certain predetermined sales goals. Sales commissions earned by employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions paid for initial contracts, which are not commensurate with sales commissions paid for renewal contracts, are capitalized and amortized over an expected period of benefit. Based on its technology, customer contracts and other factors, the Company has determined the expected period of benefit to be approximately four years. Sales commissions for renewal contracts are capitalized and then amortized on a straight-line basis. Amortization expenses related to these costs are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. e. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” ASC No. 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an Option-Pricing Model. The Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its equity awards granted based on the straight-line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards. f. Derivative Instruments: The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative instruments is to reduce its exposure to foreign currency rate changes. The Company reduces its exposure by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts with respect to operating expenses that are forecasted to be incurred in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A majority of the Company’s revenues and operating expenditures are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, certain operating expenditures are incurred in or exposed to other currencies, primarily the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”). The Company has established forecasted transaction currency risk management programs to protect against fluctuations in fair value and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in exchange rates. The Company’s currency risk management program includes forward foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges. These forward foreign exchange contracts generally mature within 12 months. In addition, the Company enters into forward contracts to hedge a portion of its monetary items in the balance sheet, such as trade receivables and payables, denominated in Pound Sterling and Euro for short-term periods (the “Fair Value Hedging Program”). The purpose of the Fair Value Hedging Program is to protect the fair value of the monetary assets from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Gains and losses from derivatives related to the Fair Value Hedging Program are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative instruments measured at fair value and their classification on the consolidated balance sheets are presented in the following table (in thousands): Assets as of September 30, 2021 (unaudited) Assets as of December 31, 2020 Notional Fair Notional Fair Foreign exchange forward contract derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships included in prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 108,310 $ 2,179 $ 90,452 $ 3,315 Foreign exchange forward contract derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships included in long-term other assets $ 32,453 $ 348 $ — $ — Foreign exchange forward contract derivatives for monetary items included in prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 19,247 $ 127 $ 33,977 $ 17 The unaudited consolidated statements of operations reflect a gain of $439 and $1,396 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, related to the effective portion of the cash flow hedges and a gain of $128 and a loss of $176 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. No material ineffective hedges were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 in operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the unaudited consolidated statements of operations reflect a gain of $371 and $905, respectively, in financial income (expenses), net, related to the Fair Value Hedging Program. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the unaudited consolidated statements of operations reflect a loss of $876 and $244, respectively, in financial income (expenses), net, related to the Fair Value Hedging Program. g. Income Taxes: The Company operates in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions and is subject to taxes in each country or jurisdiction in which it conducts business. Earnings from its non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may be subject to U.S. income tax. To date, on a consolidated basis, the Company has incurred accumulated net losses and has not recorded any U.S. federal tax provisions. Because of its history of U.S. net operating losses, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against potential future benefits for deferred tax assets, including loss carryforwards, in that jurisdiction; however, it has a net deferred tax asset for foreign jurisdictions. In some foreign tax jurisdictions, the Company bases its interim tax accruals on the annual estimated effective tax rate applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, adjusted for items which are considered discrete to the period. In each quarter, the Company updates its calculation and makes a year-to-date adjustment to its tax provision as necessary. The Company's fiscal 2021 annual effective rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowance recorded on its U.S. losses. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1,525 and $220, respectively, and $2,999 and $817 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, comprised primarily of foreign income taxes. Because of its history of U.S. tax losses, all years remain open to tax audit. The Company's income tax provision could be significantly impacted by estimates surrounding its uncertain tax positions and changes to its valuation allowance in future periods. The Company reevaluates the judgments surrounding its estimates and make adjustments as appropriate each reporting period. In addition, the Company is subject to the regular examinations of its income tax returns by different tax authorities. For example, it is currently subject to tax audits in Israel. The Company regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. h. Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Short-Term Investments: The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities in accordance with ASC No. 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities” and ASC No. 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, highly liquid investments in money market funds and various deposit accounts. The Company considers all high-quality investments purchased with original maturities at the date of purchase greater than three months but less than one year to be short-term deposits. Cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term deposits are classified as available for sale and are, therefore, recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, with any unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, until realized. The Company uses the specific identification method to compute gains and losses on the investments. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included as a component of financial income (expenses), net in the consolidated statement of operations. Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term deposits consist of the following (in thousands): As of September 30, 2021 (unaudited) Amortized Gross Gross Fair Cash and cash equivalents Money market funds $ 406,887 $ — $ — $ 406,887 Total $ 406,887 $ — $ — $ 406,887 Marketable securities US Treasury securities $ 8,010 *) $ — $ 8,010 Total $ 8,010 *) $ — $ 8,010 Short-term deposits Term bank deposits $ 2,276 $ — $ — $ 2,276 Total $ 2,276 $ — $ — $ 2,276 *) Represents an amount lower than $1 As of December 31, 2020 Amortized Gross Gross Fair Cash and cash equivalents Money market funds $ 10,712 $ — $ — $ 10,712 Total $ 10,712 $ — $ — $ 10,712 Marketable securities US Treasury securities $ 34,113 $ 4 *) $ 34,117 Total $ 34,113 $ 4 *) $ 34,117 Short-term deposits Term bank deposits $ 30,053 $ — $ — $ 30,053 Total $ 30,053 $ — $ — $ 30,053 *) Represents an amount lower than $1 All the US Treasury securities in marketable securities have a stated effective maturity of less than 12 months as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The gross unrealized gains and losses related to these short-term investments was due primarily to changes in interest rates. Available for sale debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed using the Current Expected Credit losses model to determine what portion of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on available for sale debt securities are recognized in financial income (expenses), net on the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on available for sale marketable securities as any expected credit losses are not material to the consolidated financial statements. i. Business Combinations: The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company makes estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The Company's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred. j. Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets, including Acquired Intangible Assets and Right-of-Use-Asset: Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of purchase consideration in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually or more often if circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. No indications of impairment of goodwill were noted during the periods presented. Acquired intangible assets consist of identifiable intangible assets, including developed technology and trademarks, resulting from business combinations. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense of developed technology and trademarks are recorded within cost of revenues and sales and marketing, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets (or asset group) to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, no impairment losses have been recorded. k. Revolving Credit Facility: On August 21, 2020, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with KeyBank National Association (the “Credit and Security Agreement”), for a three-year secured revolving credit facility of $70,000, with a letter of credit sublimit of $15,000 and an accordion feature under which the Company can increase the credit facility to up to $90,000 (the “Credit Facility”). Borrowings and repayments may occur through the maturity date, which is the earlier of August 21, 2023 or 90 days prior to the scheduled maturity of any convertible debt securities, at which time any amounts outstanding are to be paid in full. The fees incurred in connection with entering into the Credit and Security Agreement were recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the arrangement. Ongoing fees and interest paid on the used and unused portions of the Credit Facility are expensed as incurred and included within financial income (expenses), net on the consolidated statement of operations. The Credit Facility is secured and the Credit and Security Agreement contains customary covenants and customary events of default provisions. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no balance outstanding on the Credit Facility and was in compliance with all financial covenants and non-financial covenants. l. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share: Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, restricted stock units and the impact of the conversion spread of the 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes issued by the Company on May 11, 2020 and due August 2025 in an aggregate principal amount of $253,000 (the "2025 Notes"), to the extent dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. There were 7,843,510 and 9,632,790 potentially dilutive shares from the conversion of outstanding stock options and restricted stock units that were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the period ending September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, 8,239,254 shares underlying the conversion option of the 2025 Notes are not considered in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company intends to settle the principal amount of the 2025 Notes in cash and therefore will use the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The conversion will have a dilutive impact on diluted net income per share when the average market price of a common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $30.71 per share. m. COVID-19: In March 2020, the World Health Organization (”WHO”) declared the novel coronavirus COVID-19 ("COVID-19") a global pandemic. The pandemic adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally in 2020 and, until contained, is still expected to disrupt general business operations. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing measures being taken by many governments around the world in response could in the future meaningfully impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company is currently unable to predict the duration of that impact but continues to monitor its accounting estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities relating to its leases and will continue to do so as additional information is obtained or new events occur. Actual results could differ from our estimates and judgments, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements. n. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: |
