2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||||||||
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HomeAway, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and those items discussed in these Notes, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, as of September 30, 2013; results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012; comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012; cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012; and stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or for any other period. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||||||
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These differences could have a material effect on the Company’s future results of operations and financial position. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include certain revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of short-term investments, the carrying amounts of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, the valuation of stock options, deferred income taxes and the fair value of noncontrolling interests. | |||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received during the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1: | Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2: | Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3: | Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. | ||||||||||||||||
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. | |||||||||||||||||
Money Market Funds and Short-Term Investments | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments classified as Level 1 are valued using quoted prices generated by market transactions involving identical assets. Short-term investments classified as Level 2 are valued using non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated with observable market data; quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets; or pricing models, such as a discounted cash flow model, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated with observable market data. The Company did not hold any cash equivalents, restricted cash or short-term investments categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Short-term investments include certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, U.S. government agency bonds and municipal bonds and are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of related estimated tax provisions or benefits. Additionally, the Company periodically assesses whether an other than temporary impairment loss on investments has occurred due to declines in fair value or other market conditions. Declines in fair value considered other than temporary are recorded as an impairment in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company did not record an impairment of its investments for any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

Business Segment | |||||||||||||||||
The Company has one operating segment consisting of various products and services related to its online marketplace of accommodation rental listings. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is considered to be the Chief Executive Officer. The chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the single operating segment level. | |||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents include investments in money market funds and certificates of deposit that are readily convertible into cash. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of the following at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

Restricted Cash | |||||||||||||||||
Restricted cash of $759,000 and $514,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, was held in money market funds owned by the Company in conjunction with leased office space and to secure credit card availability and reimbursable direct debits due from the Company. | |||||||||||||||||
Short-term Investments | |||||||||||||||||
Short-term investments generally consist of marketable securities that have original maturities greater than ninety days as of the date of purchase. Investments in which the Company has the ability and intent, if necessary, to liquidate in order to support its current operations, including those with contractual maturities greater than one year from the date of purchase, are classified as short-term. The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and are presented at estimated fair value with any unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (loss). | |||||||||||||||||
Cash flows from purchases, sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities are classified as cash flows from investing activities and reported gross, including any related premiums or discounts. Premiums related to purchases of available-for-sale securities were $7,546,000 and $2,219,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Fair values are based on quoted market prices. Short-term investments consisted of the following at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

For fixed income securities that have unrealized losses as of September 30, 2013, the Company does not have the intent to sell any of these investments and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. The Company has evaluated these fixed income securities and determined that no credit losses exist. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the unrealized losses on fixed income securities as of September 30, 2013 were temporary in nature. | |||||||||||||||||

Non-marketable Equity Investment | |||||||||||||||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company invested an additional $3,667,000 for a non-controlling equity interest in a privately-held company in China. As of September 30, 2013, the total carrying value of the Company’s investment in the privately-held company was $10,113,000. The Company’s investment in the privately-held company is reported using the cost method of accounting or marked down to fair value when an event or circumstance indicates an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of this asset as of September 30, 2013. No event or circumstance indicating an other-than-temporary decline in value of the Company’s interest in the non-marketable equity investment was identified. This investment is recorded in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable are primarily generated from three sources. Amounts due from credit card merchants who process the Company’s credit card sales from property listings and remit the proceeds to the Company are the primary source of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are also generated from Internet display advertising amounts due in the ordinary course of business as well as amounts due to the Company for property listings or other products purchased on account. Accounts receivable from Internet display advertising revenue and products purchased on account are recorded at the invoiced amount and are non-interest bearing. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by estimating losses on receivables based on known troubled accounts and historical experiences of losses incurred. | |||||||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||||||||||
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Computer equipment and purchased software are generally depreciated over three years. Furniture and fixtures are generally depreciated over five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual lease period or their estimated useful life. Upon disposal, property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, while expenditures that extend the physical or economic life of the assets are capitalized. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company capitalizes certain internally developed software and website development costs. These capitalized costs were approximately $29,045,000 and $23,985,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and are included in property and equipment, net, in the balance sheet. Internally developed software costs are generally depreciated over five years. | |||||||||||||||||

Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||
Goodwill arises from business combinations and is measured as the excess of the purchase consideration over the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, less any liabilities assumed. | |||||||||||||||||
Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives, such as certain trade names, are not amortized. Tests for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are performed on an annual basis as of October 1, or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. | |||||||||||||||||
Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test outside of the annual test include but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors; adverse cash flow trends; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; loss of key personnel; decline in stock price; and the results of tests for recoverability of a significant asset group. The Company determined that no triggering event occurred during any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
For goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, the Company completes what is referred to as the “Step 0” analysis, which involves evaluating qualitative factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and overall financial performance related to its goodwill and its indefinite lived intangible assets. If the Company’s “Step 0” analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company would perform a quantitative two-step impairment test. The quantitative analysis compares the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets to its carrying amount, and an impairment loss is recognized equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount over fair value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment tests are unnecessary. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company performs an evaluation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during October. The determination of whether or not goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment. Changes in the Company’s strategy and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of goodwill or intangible assets. | |||||||||||||||||
No impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets was identified in any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
Identifiable intangible assets consist of trade names, customer listings, technology, domain names and contractual non-compete agreements associated with acquired businesses. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable (see Note 4). The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the distribution of the economic value of the identifiable intangible assets. | |||||||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | |||||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates long-lived assets held for use, such as property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made. No impairments of long-lived assets have been recorded during any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company generates a significant portion of its revenue from customers purchasing online advertising services related to the listing of their properties for rent, primarily on a subscription basis over a fixed-term. The Company also generates revenue based on the number of traveler inquiries and reservation bookings for property listings on the Company’s websites, local and national Internet display advertisers, license of property management software and ancillary products and services. | |||||||||||||||||
Payments for term-based subscriptions received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized on a straight-line basis over the listing period. Revenue for inquiry-based contracts are determined on a fixed fee-per-inquiry as stated in the arrangement and recognized when the service has been performed. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company earns commission revenue for reservations made online through its websites, which is calculated as a percentage of the value of the reservation. This revenue is earned as the customers’ refund privileges lapse and is included in other revenue in the consolidated statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Internet display advertising revenue is generated primarily from advertisements appearing on the Company’s websites. There are several types of Internet advertisements, and the way in which advertising revenue is earned varies among them. Depending upon the terms, revenue might be earned each time an impression is delivered, each time a user clicks on an ad, each time a graphic ad is displayed, or each time a user clicks-through on the ad and takes a specified action on the destination site. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company sells gift cards with no expiration date to travelers and does not charge administrative fees on unused cards. There is a portion of the gift card obligation that, based on historical redemption patterns, will not be used by the Company’s customers and is not required to be remitted to relevant jurisdictions, or breakage. At the point of sale, the Company recognizes breakage as deferred revenue and amortizes it over 48 months based on historical redemption patterns. The Company also records commission revenue for each gift card sale over the same 48-month redemption period. | |||||||||||||||||
Through its professional software for bed and breakfasts and professional property managers, the Company makes selected, online bookable properties available to online travel agencies and channel partners. The Company receives a percentage of the transaction value or a fee from the property manager for making this inventory available, which is recognized when earned. This revenue is included in other revenue in the consolidated statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company generates revenue from the licensing of software products, the sale of maintenance agreements and the sale of hosted software solutions. For software license sales, one year of maintenance is typically included as part of the initial purchase price of the bundled offering with annual renewals of the maintenance component of the agreement following in subsequent years. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of perpetual licenses upon delivery, which generally occurs upon electronic transfer of the license key that makes the product available to the purchaser. | |||||||||||||||||
As software is usually sold with maintenance, the amount of revenue allocated to the software license is determined by estimating the fair value of the maintenance and subtracting it from the total invoice or contract amount. Vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of the fair value of maintenance services is determined by the standard published list pricing for maintenance renewals, as the Company generally charges list prices for maintenance renewals. In determining VSOE, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling price for maintenance services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement beginning on the activation date. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. | |||||||||||||||||
Sales of hosted software solutions are generally for a one-year period. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Certain implementation services related to the hosting services are essential to the customer’s use of the hosting services. For sales of these hosting services where the Company is responsible for implementation, the Company recognizes implementation revenue ratably over the estimated period of the hosting relationship, which the Company considers to be three years. Recognition starts once the product has been made available to the customer. | |||||||||||||||||
Training and consulting revenue is recognized upon delivery of the training or consulting services to the end customer. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for sales incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue at the time that the revenue is recognized from the related product sale. The Company also reports revenue net of any sales tax collected. | |||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||
The cost of stock-based compensation is recognized in the financial statements based upon the estimated grant date fair value of the awards measured using the Black–Scholes valuation model. The fair value of restricted stock awards and units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Fair value is generally recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee requisite service period. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behaviors as well as trends of actual option forfeitures. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses the “with and without” approach in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company only recognizes a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. When tax deductions from stock-based awards are less than the cumulative book compensation expense, the tax effect of the resulting difference (“shortfall”) is charged first to additional paid-in capital to the extent of the Company’s pool of windfall tax benefits with any remainder recognized in income tax expense. The Company has determined that it has a sufficient windfall pool available and therefore no amounts have been recognized in income tax expense. In addition, the Company accounts for the indirect effects of stock-based awards on other tax attributes through the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs are reported as financing cash inflows, but only when such excess tax benefits are realized by a reduction to current taxes payable. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the excess tax benefit that the Company recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||
Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||

Excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation | $ | 1,992 | $ | 4,814 | $ | 6,237 | $ | 7,344 | |||||||||
This tax benefit has been recorded as additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes income taxes using an asset and liability approach. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred taxes is based on provisions of the enacted tax law and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Evaluating the need for an amount of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires significant judgment and analysis of the positive and negative evidence available, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the feasibility of tax planning in order to determine whether all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the available evidence and judgment, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that certain loss carryforwards will not be realized; therefore, the Company has established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets to reduce the loss carryforward assets to amounts expected to be utilized. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company may be subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities in any or all of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company is currently undergoing an audit at its subsidiary in Germany. Significant judgment is required in determining uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain income tax positions only if these positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Also, the recognized income tax benefit is measured at the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of an audit or the refinement of an estimate. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The countries in which the Company may be subject to potential examination by tax authorities include the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Brazil, Australia, Colombia, Italy,Thailand and Singapore. | |||||||||||||||||
The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves the inherent uncertainty associated with the application of complex tax laws. As a multinational corporation, the Company conducts its business in many countries and is subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. The taxation of the Company’s business is subject to the application of various and sometimes conflicting tax laws and regulations as well as multinational tax conventions. The Company’s effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of its worldwide earnings or losses, the tax regulations and tax rates in each geographic region, the availability of tax credits and carryforwards, and the effectiveness of its tax planning strategies. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, and the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Consequently, taxing authorities may impose tax assessments or judgments against the Company that could materially impact its tax liability and/or its effective income tax rate. The Company believes it has adequately provided in its financial statements for additional taxes that it estimates may be assessed by the various taxing authorities. While the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all uncertain tax positions, amounts asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than the Company’s accrued position. These tax liabilities, including the interest and penalties, are adjusted pursuant to a settlement with tax authorities, completion of audit, refinement of estimates or expiration of various statutes of limitation. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Translation | |||||||||||||||||
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is generally their respective local currency. The financial statements of the Company’s international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, the historical exchange rate for stockholders’ equity, and a weighted average exchange rate for each period for revenue, expenses, and gains and losses. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions are recorded in other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the foreign currency transaction gain (loss) that the Company recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

Derivative Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
As a result of the Company’s international operations, it is exposed to various market risks that may affect its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position. These market risks include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The Company’s primary foreign currency exposures are in Euros and British Pound Sterling. As a result, the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates as the financial results of its operations are translated from local currency into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. Additionally, foreign exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency result in gains and losses that are reflected in other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company may enter into derivative instruments to hedge certain net exposures of nonfunctional currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily related to intercompany loans, even though it does not elect to apply hedge accounting or hedge accounting does not apply. Gains and losses resulting from a change in fair value for these derivatives are reflected in the period in which the change occurs and are recognized on the consolidated statement of operations in other income (expense). Cash flows from these contracts are classified within net cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value and its derivative instruments are generally short-term in duration. The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts may fail to meet their contractual obligations. | |||||||||||||||||

Net Income Per Share Attributable to HomeAway, Inc. | |||||||||||||||||
Basic net income per share attributable to HomeAway, Inc. is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share attributable to HomeAway, Inc. is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares. | |||||||||||||||||
Restricted stock awards provide the holder of unvested shares the right to participate in dividends declared on the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, these shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding for the computation of basic earnings per share attributable to HomeAway, Inc. in periods of undistributed earnings. Restricted stock awards are excluded from the basic earnings per share attributable to HomeAway, Inc. in periods of undistributed losses as the holders are not contractually obligated to participate in the losses of the Company. Unvested restricted stock units do not provide the holder the right to participate in dividends declared on the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, these shares are excluded in the weighted average shares outstanding for the computation of basic earnings per share attributable to HomeAway, Inc. in periods of undistributed earnings or losses. | |||||||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributable to HomeAway, Inc. | |||||||||||||||||
Comprehensive income (loss) attributable to HomeAway, Inc. consists of net income (loss), cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. | |||||||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The new standard is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. This guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as the Company does not apply hedge accounting for its derivative instruments. |

On August 30, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of travelmob Pte. Ltd. (“travelmob”) for $20.0 million, net of cash acquired and concurrently sold a non-controlling interest in travelmob back to certain sellers for $8.5 million. Transaction costs of $135,000 and $191,000 were expensed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. These acquisition-related costs were included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. | |||||
Travelmob features over 14,000 Asia Pacific short- term rental listings including luxury villas, urban apartments, houseboats, a private island as well as shared spaces. | |||||
The acquired goodwill represents synergies associated with adding travelmob to the Company’s marketplace of websites to provide travelers with a broader inventory selection of vacation properties to choose from and provides the Company with a platform to serve the Asian market. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The trade name has an estimated useful life of 10 years from the date of acquisition, the developed technology has an estimated useful life of 7 years from the date of acquisition and the customer relationships have an estimated useful life of 13 years from the date of acquisition. | |||||
The results of travelmob have been included in the Company’s consolidated results since the acquisition date in August 2013. Proforma results of operations related to this acquisition have not been presented since travelmob’s operating results up to the date of acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||

Tangible net liabilities were valued at their respective carrying amounts, which the Company believes approximate their current fair values at the respective acquisition dates. | |||||
The valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired reflects management’s estimates based on, among other factors, use of established valuation methods. The value of the acquired trade names and developed technology was determined using a relief from royalty method. Non-competition agreements have been valued based on other arms’ length transactions between the Company and selling shareholders in past acquisitions. Customer relationships were valued by projecting the estimated cash flow from the Company’s existing customer relationships. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and the estimated useful lives of 7 to 13 years. The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the distribution of the economic value of the identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the net purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and the fair value of any noncontrolling interests. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period. The primary areas of the purchase price that are not yet finalized are related to the fair values of intangible assets acquired, certain income taxes, noncontrolling interests and residual goodwill. | |||||
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company also concurrently made a $7.0 million cash investment in the business resulting in the Company holding 68.5% of the outstanding stock and the non-controlling interest holding 31.5%, will loan travelmob up to $8.0 million over the next few years and has a call option to purchase the remaining non-controlling interest of travelmob in two installments for periods defined in the agreement beginning on December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, respectively. In the event the Company does not exercise its call option to purchase the remaining shares of travelmob by such deadlines, the remaining travelmob shareholders have a put option to require the Company to repurchase their remaining interest in two installments for periods defined in the agreement beginning on January 31, 2016 and February 1, 2017, respectively. The option was determined to have no value. In addition, certain other shares were reserved as part of an Employee Stock Options Plan (“ESOP”) in travelmob. Upon acquisition, the vested shares were measured at fair value and the amount attributable to the pre-combination service was included in the fair value of the noncontrolling interests. | |||||
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are measured at fair value, at the date of acquisition, and classified as mezzanine equity due to the contingent redeemable feature. The Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interests to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period, however this adjustment will not reduce the noncontrolling interests below the initial amount recorded. See Note 8 for the reconciliation of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. |

Guarantees | |||||||||||||||||
The Company offers two guarantee products to travelers: Basic Rental Guarantee and Carefree Rental Guarantee. The Basic Rental Guarantee is offered to travelers that book a vacation rental property listed on any one of the Company’s websites to protect 50% of their vacation rental payments up to $1,000 against Internet fraud. Travelers may also purchase additional protection to cover 100% of vacation rental payments up to $10,000 against Internet fraud, misrepresentation, wrongful denial of entry, wrongful deposit loss or, beginning in 2012, losses from phishing claims by the purchase of the Carefree Rental Guarantee. The Company does not maintain insurance from any third party for claims under these guarantees, and any amounts payable for claims made under these guarantees are payable by the Company. Amounts recorded for estimated future claims under the guarantees are based on historical experience and estimates of potential future claims are recorded either in cost of revenue or in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations depending on whether the expense is related to estimated claims under the Basic Rental Guarantee or to the Carefree Rental Guarantee. | |||||||||||||||||
Expected future claims for traveler guarantees, which are presented as a current liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and changes for the guarantees are as follows (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

The Company maintains a guarantee of £5,000,000 (approximately $8,063,000 as of September 30, 2013) in favor of a bank in the United Kingdom for extending credit to the Company in connection with the wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary’s business of collecting its subscription revenues in advance via credit card payments. | |||||||||||||||||
Legal | |||||||||||||||||
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses its potential liability by analyzing specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. Views on estimated losses are developed by management in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. After taking all of the above factors into account, the Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency related to litigation should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company further determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency related to litigation should be disclosed by assessing whether a material loss is deemed reasonably possible. Such disclosures will include an estimate of the additional loss or range of loss or will state that such an estimate cannot be made. | |||||||||||||||||
Management believes that there are no claims or actions pending or threatened against the Company, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

Effective tax rate | 34 | % | 52.5 | % | 32.4 | % | 49.9 | % | |||||||||
At September 30, 2013, the Company’s effective tax rate estimate for the year ended December 31, 2013 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible stock compensation charges, state taxes, amortization of tax charges on the intercompany sale of assets that were deferred in prior periods, which is partially offset by the benefit of disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options, the effect of different statutory tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and the federal research and experimentation tax credit. At September 30, 2012, the Company’s effective tax rate estimate for the year ended December 31, 2012 differed from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible stock compensation charges, state taxes, the effect of different statutory tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and amortization of tax charges on the intercompany sale of assets that were deferred in prior periods, which is partially offset by the benefit of disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options. | |||||||||||||||||
The federal research and experimentation tax credit was extended on January 2, 2013 by the signing of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, or the Act. The Act retroactively extended this tax credit from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013. Because the Act was enacted during 2013, an income tax benefit of $614,000 related to the 2012 research and experimentation tax credit is reflected as a discrete item in the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Additionally, the Company completed a research and experimentation credit study and recorded an additional $1,393,000 benefit during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
The balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2013 is approximately $7,635,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the balance increased by $230,000 and $803,000, respectively, for tax positions related to the current year and the balance increased by $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for tax positions related to prior years. The Company anticipates a possible reduction in the balance of uncertain tax positions by approximately $1,137,000 in the next twelve months due to the expiration of statutes of limitation. |

Basis of Presentation | |||||||||||||||||
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HomeAway, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and those items discussed in these Notes, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, as of September 30, 2013; results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012; comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012; cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012; and stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or for any other period. | |||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||||||||||
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These differences could have a material effect on the Company’s future results of operations and financial position. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include certain revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of short-term investments, the carrying amounts of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, the valuation of stock options, deferred income taxes and the fair value of noncontrolling interests. | |||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received during the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1: | Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2: | Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3: | Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. | ||||||||||||||||
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. | |||||||||||||||||
Money Market Funds and Short-Term Investments | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments classified as Level 1 are valued using quoted prices generated by market transactions involving identical assets. Short-term investments classified as Level 2 are valued using non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated with observable market data; quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets; or pricing models, such as a discounted cash flow model, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated with observable market data. The Company did not hold any cash equivalents, restricted cash or short-term investments categorized as Level 3 as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
Short-term investments include certificates of deposit, corporate bonds, U.S. government agency bonds and municipal bonds and are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of related estimated tax provisions or benefits. Additionally, the Company periodically assesses whether an other than temporary impairment loss on investments has occurred due to declines in fair value or other market conditions. Declines in fair value considered other than temporary are recorded as an impairment in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company did not record an impairment of its investments for any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and deferred revenue approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

Short-term Investments | |||||||||||||||||
Short-term investments generally consist of marketable securities that have original maturities greater than ninety days as of the date of purchase. Investments in which the Company has the ability and intent, if necessary, to liquidate in order to support its current operations, including those with contractual maturities greater than one year from the date of purchase, are classified as short-term.

For fixed income securities that have unrealized losses as of September 30, 2013, the Company does not have the intent to sell any of these investments and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. The Company has evaluated these fixed income securities and determined that no credit losses exist.

Non-marketable Equity Investment | |||||||||||||||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company invested an additional $3,667,000 for a non-controlling equity interest in a privately-held company in China. As of September 30, 2013, the total carrying value of the Company’s investment in the privately-held company was $10,113,000. The Company’s investment in the privately-held company is reported using the cost method of accounting or marked down to fair value when an event or circumstance indicates an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of this asset as of September 30, 2013. No event or circumstance indicating an other-than-temporary decline in value of the Company’s interest in the non-marketable equity investment was identified. This investment is recorded in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||||||
Accounts receivable are primarily generated from three sources. Amounts due from credit card merchants who process the Company’s credit card sales from property listings and remit the proceeds to the Company are the primary source of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are also generated from Internet display advertising amounts due in the ordinary course of business as well as amounts due to the Company for property listings or other products purchased on account. Accounts receivable from Internet display advertising revenue and products purchased on account are recorded at the invoiced amount and are non-interest bearing. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by estimating losses on receivables based on known troubled accounts and historical experiences of losses incurred. | |||||||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||||||||||
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Computer equipment and purchased software are generally depreciated over three years. Furniture and fixtures are generally depreciated over five to ten years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual lease period or their estimated useful life. Upon disposal, property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of operations. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense, while expenditures that extend the physical or economic life of the assets are capitalized. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company capitalizes certain internally developed software and website development costs. These capitalized costs were approximately $29,045,000 and $23,985,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and are included in property and equipment, net, in the balance sheet. Internally developed software costs are generally depreciated over five years. | |||||||||||||||||

Goodwill and Intangible Assets | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||||||
Goodwill arises from business combinations and is measured as the excess of the purchase consideration over the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, less any liabilities assumed. | |||||||||||||||||
Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives, such as certain trade names, are not amortized. Tests for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are performed on an annual basis as of October 1, or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. | |||||||||||||||||
Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test outside of the annual test include but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors; adverse cash flow trends; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; loss of key personnel; decline in stock price; and the results of tests for recoverability of a significant asset group. The Company determined that no triggering event occurred during any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
For goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, the Company completes what is referred to as the “Step 0” analysis, which involves evaluating qualitative factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and overall financial performance related to its goodwill and its indefinite lived intangible assets. If the Company’s “Step 0” analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or of an indefinite lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company would perform a quantitative two-step impairment test. The quantitative analysis compares the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets to its carrying amount, and an impairment loss is recognized equivalent to the excess of the carrying amount over fair value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment tests are unnecessary. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company performs an evaluation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during October. The determination of whether or not goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment. Changes in the Company’s strategy and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of goodwill or intangible assets. | |||||||||||||||||
No impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets was identified in any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
Identifiable intangible assets consist of trade names, customer listings, technology, domain names and contractual non-compete agreements associated with acquired businesses. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable (see Note 4). The straight-line method of amortization represents the Company’s best estimate of the distribution of the economic value of the identifiable intangible assets. | |||||||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | |||||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates long-lived assets held for use, such as property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. When an impairment loss is recognized, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made. No impairments of long-lived assets have been recorded during any of the periods presented. | |||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company generates a significant portion of its revenue from customers purchasing online advertising services related to the listing of their properties for rent, primarily on a subscription basis over a fixed-term. The Company also generates revenue based on the number of traveler inquiries and reservation bookings for property listings on the Company’s websites, local and national Internet display advertisers, license of property management software and ancillary products and services. | |||||||||||||||||
Payments for term-based subscriptions received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized on a straight-line basis over the listing period. Revenue for inquiry-based contracts are determined on a fixed fee-per-inquiry as stated in the arrangement and recognized when the service has been performed. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company earns commission revenue for reservations made online through its websites, which is calculated as a percentage of the value of the reservation. This revenue is earned as the customers’ refund privileges lapse and is included in other revenue in the consolidated statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
Internet display advertising revenue is generated primarily from advertisements appearing on the Company’s websites. There are several types of Internet advertisements, and the way in which advertising revenue is earned varies among them. Depending upon the terms, revenue might be earned each time an impression is delivered, each time a user clicks on an ad, each time a graphic ad is displayed, or each time a user clicks-through on the ad and takes a specified action on the destination site. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company sells gift cards with no expiration date to travelers and does not charge administrative fees on unused cards. There is a portion of the gift card obligation that, based on historical redemption patterns, will not be used by the Company’s customers and is not required to be remitted to relevant jurisdictions, or breakage. At the point of sale, the Company recognizes breakage as deferred revenue and amortizes it over 48 months based on historical redemption patterns. The Company also records commission revenue for each gift card sale over the same 48-month redemption period. | |||||||||||||||||
Through its professional software for bed and breakfasts and professional property managers, the Company makes selected, online bookable properties available to online travel agencies and channel partners. The Company receives a percentage of the transaction value or a fee from the property manager for making this inventory available, which is recognized when earned. This revenue is included in other revenue in the consolidated statement of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company generates revenue from the licensing of software products, the sale of maintenance agreements and the sale of hosted software solutions. For software license sales, one year of maintenance is typically included as part of the initial purchase price of the bundled offering with annual renewals of the maintenance component of the agreement following in subsequent years. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of perpetual licenses upon delivery, which generally occurs upon electronic transfer of the license key that makes the product available to the purchaser. | |||||||||||||||||
As software is usually sold with maintenance, the amount of revenue allocated to the software license is determined by estimating the fair value of the maintenance and subtracting it from the total invoice or contract amount. Vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of the fair value of maintenance services is determined by the standard published list pricing for maintenance renewals, as the Company generally charges list prices for maintenance renewals. In determining VSOE, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling price for maintenance services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement beginning on the activation date. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. | |||||||||||||||||
Sales of hosted software solutions are generally for a one-year period. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Certain implementation services related to the hosting services are essential to the customer’s use of the hosting services. For sales of these hosting services where the Company is responsible for implementation, the Company recognizes implementation revenue ratably over the estimated period of the hosting relationship, which the Company considers to be three years. Recognition starts once the product has been made available to the customer. | |||||||||||||||||
Training and consulting revenue is recognized upon delivery of the training or consulting services to the end customer. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company accounts for sales incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue at the time that the revenue is recognized from the related product sale. The Company also reports revenue net of any sales tax collected. | |||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||||||
The cost of stock-based compensation is recognized in the financial statements based upon the estimated grant date fair value of the awards measured using the Black–Scholes valuation model. The fair value of restricted stock awards and units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Fair value is generally recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee requisite service period. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behaviors as well as trends of actual option forfeitures. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses the “with and without” approach in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company only recognizes a tax benefit from stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized. When tax deductions from stock-based awards are less than the cumulative book compensation expense, the tax effect of the resulting difference (“shortfall”) is charged first to additional paid-in capital to the extent of the Company’s pool of windfall tax benefits with any remainder recognized in income tax expense. The Company has determined that it has a sufficient windfall pool available and therefore no amounts have been recognized in income tax expense. In addition, the Company accounts for the indirect effects of stock-based awards on other tax attributes through the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
The benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs are reported as financing cash inflows, but only when such excess tax benefits are realized by a reduction to current taxes payable. | |||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the excess tax benefit that the Company recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands): | |||||||||||||||||

Income Taxes | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||||||
The Company recognizes income taxes using an asset and liability approach. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred taxes is based on provisions of the enacted tax law and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Evaluating the need for an amount of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires significant judgment and analysis of the positive and negative evidence available, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the feasibility of tax planning in order to determine whether all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the available evidence and judgment, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that certain loss carryforwards will not be realized; therefore, the Company has established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets to reduce the loss carryforward assets to amounts expected to be utilized. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company may be subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities in any or all of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company is currently undergoing an audit at its subsidiary in Germany. Significant judgment is required in determining uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain income tax positions only if these positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Also, the recognized income tax benefit is measured at the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of an audit or the refinement of an estimate. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The countries in which the Company may be subject to potential examination by tax authorities include the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Brazil, Australia, Colombia, Italy,Thailand and Singapore. | |||||||||||||||||
The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves the inherent uncertainty associated with the application of complex tax laws. As a multinational corporation, the Company conducts its business in many countries and is subject to taxation in many jurisdictions. The taxation of the Company’s business is subject to the application of various and sometimes conflicting tax laws and regulations as well as multinational tax conventions. The Company’s effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of its worldwide earnings or losses, the tax regulations and tax rates in each geographic region, the availability of tax credits and carryforwards, and the effectiveness of its tax planning strategies. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, and the evolution of regulations and court rulings. Consequently, taxing authorities may impose tax assessments or judgments against the Company that could materially impact its tax liability and/or its effective income tax rate. The Company believes it has adequately provided in its financial statements for additional taxes that it estimates may be assessed by the various taxing authorities. While the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all uncertain tax positions, amounts asserted by tax authorities could be greater or less than the Company’s accrued position. These tax liabilities, including the interest and penalties, are adjusted pursuant to a settlement with tax authorities, completion of audit, refinement of estimates or expiration of various statutes of limitation. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Translation | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Translation | |||||||||||||||||
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is generally their respective local currency. The financial statements of the Company’s international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, the historical exchange rate for stockholders’ equity, and a weighted average exchange rate for each period for revenue, expenses, and gains and losses. Foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions are recorded in other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||

Derivative Financial Instruments | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
As a result of the Company’s international operations, it is exposed to various market risks that may affect its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position. These market risks include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The Company’s primary foreign currency exposures are in Euros and British Pound Sterling. As a result, the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates as the financial results of its operations are translated from local currency into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. Additionally, foreign exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency result in gains and losses that are reflected in other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company may enter into derivative instruments to hedge certain net exposures of nonfunctional currency denominated assets and liabilities, primarily related to intercompany loans, even though it does not elect to apply hedge accounting or hedge accounting does not apply. Gains and losses resulting from a change in fair value for these derivatives are reflected in the period in which the change occurs and are recognized on the consolidated statement of operations in other income (expense). Cash flows from these contracts are classified within net cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value and its derivative instruments are generally short-term in duration. The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts may fail to meet their contractual obligations. | |||||||||||||||||

Accordingly, these shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding for the computation of basic earnings per share attributable to HomeAway, Inc. in periods of undistributed earnings. Restricted stock awards are excluded from the basic earnings per share attributable to HomeAway, Inc. in periods of undistributed losses as the holders are not contractually obligated to participate in the losses of the Company. Unvested restricted stock units do not provide the holder the right to participate in dividends declared on the Company’s common stock.

In July 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The new standard is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. This guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as the Company does not apply hedge accounting for its derivative instruments. |
