The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies | 1. The Company and its Significant Accounting Policies The Company TubeMogul, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), is an enterprise software company for brand advertising. The Company’s customers include many of the world’s largest brands and their media agencies. The Company completed a follow-on public offering of common stock in June 2015. The Company sold 3,500,000 shares of its common stock and certain stockholders sold 1,763,246 shares. The shares were sold at a public offering price of $15.75 per share for net proceeds of $52.2 million to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $2.9 million and before deducting total expenses in connection with this offering of $875. On July 10, 2015, in connection with the Company’s public follow-on offering of common stock on June 10, 2015, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased 469,486 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $7.0 million. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation These 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 (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting, and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 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, t hese condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, the Company’s comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 or any other period. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these condensed consolidated financial statements include allowances for doubtful accounts and credit memos, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, valuation of deferred tax assets, provisions for uncertain tax positions, capitalization of software costs, delivery of impressions for campaigns using the Company’s programmatic TV (PTV) solution and assumptions used for valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those and other estimates. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. The Company analyzes specific accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, current economic trends, and changes in the customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when no future collection is possible. Many of the Company’s contracts with advertising agencies provide that if the brand (i.e., the agency’s customer) does not pay the agency, the agency is not liable to the Company and the Company must seek payment from the brand. Accordingly, the Company considers the creditworthiness of the brand in establishing its allowance for doubtful accounts. However, since inception, the Company has not had to initiate collection efforts directly with any brands where the contract was with an advertising agency. The following table presents the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts: Year Ended Nine Months Ended December 31, September 30, 2014 2015 Balance, beginning of period $ (714 ) $ (1,369 ) Additions to allowance (903 ) (1,100 ) Write offs, net of recoveries 248 512 Balance, end of period $ (1,369 ) $ (1,957 ) On a quarterly basis, the amount of revenue that is reserved for credit memos is calculated based on the Company’s historical trends and data specific to each reporting period. The Company reviews the actual credit memos issued in prior quarters as they relate to prior periods and establishes a rate at which credit memos affected revenue in prior periods. The Company then applies the established rate to the current period revenue as a basis for estimating future credit memos related to revenue already recognized. The following table presents the changes in the allowance for credit memos: Year Ended Nine Months Ended December 31, September 30, 2014 2015 Balance, beginning of period $ — $ (460 ) Additions to allowance (1,875 ) (2,139 ) Issued credit memos 1,415 1,924 Balance, end of period $ (460 ) $ (675 ) Fair Value Measurement and Financial Instruments The Company measures the fair value of its financial instruments in accordance with of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) for Fair Value Measurements Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions as to what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability of inputs as follows: Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. Level 2 — Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. The Company had $45,908 and $57,501 of cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, respectively, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Inputs used in measuring fair value of cash and cash equivalents are categorized as Level 1. From time to time the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange risk. The foreign currency forward contracts are valued using observable inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points and foreign interest rates and are categorized as Level 2. Realized gains from these contracts were $634 and $400 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The Company did not enter into such contracts during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations of certain non-U.S. dollar denominated asset positions, primarily cash and accounts receivable. Gains and losses resulting from currency exchange rate movements on these forward contracts are recognized in other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the exchange rates change and offset the foreign currency gains and losses on the underlying exposure being hedged. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had forward foreign exchange contracts to buy a total notional value of $20 million against various foreign currencies. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative transactions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the foreign currency foreign exchange contracts. Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, but which require disclosure of their fair values include accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt. The estimated fair values of such instruments at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015 approximated their carrying values. The fair values of all of these instruments are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2014-09, which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective transition method. The FASB decided on July 9, 2015 to defer for one year the effective date of the new revenue standard for public and nonpublic entities reporting under GAAP. The FASB also decided to permit entities to early adopt the standard as of the original effective date. The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides explicit guidance to help companies evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The new guidance clarifies that if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the license consistent with its accounting for other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments either prospectively for all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date, or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
