Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Care.com, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on October 27, 2006. We are the world’s largest online marketplace for finding and managing family care. Our consumer matching solutions enable families to connect to caregivers and caregiving services in a reliable and easy way and our payment solutions enable families to pay caregivers electronically online or via their mobile device and to manage their household payroll and tax matters with Care.com HomePay. In addition, we serve employers by providing access to our platform to employer-sponsored families and care-related businesses-such as day care centers, nanny agencies and home care agencies-who wish to market their services to our care-seeking families and recruit our caregiver members. We also operate a social e-commerce service selling curated products designed for families. This service generates revenue through the sale of subscriptions and other e-commerce products to customers in the United States. |
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties |
We operate in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, our business is affected by a variety of factors. For example, we believe that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: rates of revenue growth; engagement and usage of our products; scaling and adaptation of existing technology and network infrastructure; competition in our market; management of our growth; acquisitions and investments; qualified employees and key personnel; protection of our brand and intellectual property; protection of customers’ information and privacy concerns; and security measures related to our website, among other things. |
Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, filed on March 6, 2014. |
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2013, included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP on an annual reporting basis. |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for Fiscal 2014 or any future period. |
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. |
Fiscal Year-End |
For periods prior to Fiscal 2013, we operated and reported on a calendar basis fiscal year. Beginning in the third quarter of Fiscal 2013, we operate and report using a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday in December closest and prior to December 31. Accordingly, our fiscal quarters end on the Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter. |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable and revenue allowances, the useful lives of long-lived assets including property and equipment, intangible assets, valuation of common and preferred stock and warrants to purchase preferred stock, fair value of stock-based awards, goodwill, income taxes, contingent consideration, and contingencies. We base our estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, when these carrying values are not readily available from other sources. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from the estimates. |
Revenue Recognition |
In general, we recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. We derive our revenue primarily from on-going subscription fees. Revenue from subscription fees is recognized on a daily basis over the subscription term or on a pro-rata basis as the services are delivered. Revenue from background checks, lead generation and advertising is recognized in the period earned. For product sales, these criteria are deemed to have been met when the items are delivered to the end customer. Other service revenues are recognized as the services are performed. |
Certain of our arrangements provide companies the opportunity to purchase Care.com services on behalf of their employees. These arrangements typically include a subscription to our consumer matching solutions for their employees. These arrangements are accounted for as multiple element arrangements. We have concluded that each element in the arrangement has stand-alone value as the individual services can be sold separately. In addition, there is no right of refund once a service has been delivered. Therefore, we have concluded each element of the arrangement is a separate unit of accounting. In accordance with authoritative guidance on revenue recognition, we allocate consideration at the inception of an arrangement to each unit of accounting based on the relative selling price method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy. The objective of the hierarchy is to determine the price at which we would transact a sale if the service were sold on a stand-alone basis, and requires the use of: (1) vendor-specific objective evidence (‘‘VSOE’’), if available; (2) third-party evidence (‘‘TPE’’), if VSOE is not available; and (3) best estimate of selling price (‘‘BESP’’), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Since VSOE or TPE are not typically available, BESP is generally used to allocate the selling price to each unit of accounting. We determine BESP for units of account by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, prices we charge for similar offerings, sales volumes, geographies and other factors contemplated in negotiating multiple element transactions. |
Inventories |
Inventories consist of finished goods comprised of product for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market, and are valued on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventory costs primarily consist of product costs from suppliers, as well as inbound shipping and handling fees. The majority of our inventory is not purchased until we receive a customer order and it is subsequently relieved from inventories when delivered to the customer. As of September 27, 2014, our inventory balance of $2.1 million consists of finished goods. |
Goods In-Transit |
Goods in-transit directly from suppliers to customers are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Risk of loss and the transfer of title from the supplier to us occurs at freight on board shipping point. As of September 27, 2014, goods in-transit were immaterial. |
Subsequent Events Consideration |
We consider events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized subsequent events recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 27, 2014. |
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern", which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures. |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for us in our fiscal year 2018. Early application is not permitted. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. |
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” to reduce diversity in practice for reporting discontinued operations. Under the previous guidance, any component of an entity that was a reportable segment, an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary, or an asset group was eligible for discontinued operations presentation. The revised guidance only allows disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift (e.g., disposal of a major geographical area, a major line of business, a major equity method investment, or other major parts of an entity) and that have a major effect on a reporting entity’s operations and financial results to be reported as discontinued operations. The revised guidance also requires expanded disclosure in the financial statements for discontinued operations as well as for disposals of significant components of an entity that do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation. The updated guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2014. We currently do not have operations that are reported as discontinued operations and do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." ASU 2013-11 states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, except in certain situations. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. |
