Summary of business and significant accounting policies | Summary of business and significant accounting policies Description of business Telenav, Inc., also referred to in this report as “we,” “our” or “us,” was incorporated in September 1999 in the State of Delaware. We are a leading provider of location-based platform services. These services consist of our automotive and mobile navigation platform and our advertising delivery platform. Our auto and mobile navigation platform allows Telenav to deliver enhanced location-based services to auto manufacturers, developers, and end users through various distribution channels, including wireless carriers. Our advertising delivery platform delivers highly targeted advertising services leveraging our location expertise. Through June 30, 2014 we operated in one business segment. Commencing July 1, 2014, we operate in three business segments: automotive, advertising and mobile navigation. Our fiscal year ends on June 30 and in this report we refer to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 as fiscal 2015 , fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 , respectively. Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Telenav, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Our consolidated financial statements also include the financial results of Shanghai Jitu Software Development Ltd., or Jitu, located in China. Based on our contractual arrangements with the shareholders of Jitu, we have determined that Jitu is a variable interest entity, or VIE, for which we are the primary beneficiary and are required to consolidate in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, subtopic 810-10, or ASC 810-10, Consolidation: Overall . The results of Jitu did not have a material impact on our overall operating results for fiscal 2015 , fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013 . On April 16, 2013, we completed the sale of our enterprise business to FleetCor Technologies Operating Company, LLC, or FleetCor. The results of operations of our enterprise business, which were previously presented as a component of our consolidated operating results, have been classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2013. All information in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements includes only results from continuing operations for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. See Note 11 Sale of enterprise business. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by us include the determination of revenue recognition and deferred revenue, the recoverability of accounts receivable, the determination of acquired intangibles and an assessment of goodwill impairment, the fair value of stock awards issued, the determination of income taxes and the recoverability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue recognition We generate revenue primarily from software licenses, service subscriptions and customized engineering fees. We also generate revenue from the delivery of search and display advertising impressions. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or service has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We evaluate whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to our customers or the net amount earned as revenue. When we are primarily obligated in a transaction, have latitude in establishing prices, are responsible for fulfillment of the transaction, have credit risk, or have several but not all of these indicators, we record revenue on a gross basis. While none of the factors individually are considered presumptive or determinative, in reaching conclusions on gross versus net revenue recognition, we place the most weight on the analysis of whether or not we are the primary obligor in the arrangement. We report our automotive and advertising revenue on a gross basis. We derive product revenue from the delivery of customized software and royalties earned from the distribution of this customized software in certain automotive navigation applications. We generally recognize customized software revenue using the completed contract method of contract accounting under which revenue is recognized upon delivery to, and acceptance by, the automobile manufacturer of our on-board navigation solutions. We generally recognize royalty revenue as the software is reproduced for installation in vehicles, assuming all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. We recognize services revenue from our brought-in connected automotive navigation solutions monthly based on monthly subscriptions, which are subject to a maximum annual fee. This revenue represented less than 5% of overall automotive navigation solutions revenue. In January 2015 General Motors Corporation, or GM, launched the new version of its OnStar RemoteLink® mobile application powered by our location-based services platform. We earn a one-time royalty for each new vehicle owner who downloads the RemoteLink® application. We record the royalty earned as deferred revenue and recognize this service revenue over the estimated service period. We derive services revenue from the delivery of search and display advertising impressions. We recognize revenue when the related advertising services are delivered based on the specific terms of the advertising contract, which are commonly based on the number of ad impressions delivered, or clicks, drives or actions by users on mobile advertisements. We also derive services revenue from subscriptions to access our mobile navigation services, which are generally provided through our wireless carrier customers that offer our services to their subscribers or through application stores. Our wireless carrier customers pay us based on several different revenue models, including (1) a revenue sharing arrangement that may include a minimum fee per end user, (2) a monthly or annual subscription fee per end user, or (3) based on usage. Our end users who subscribe to our services through application stores pay us a monthly or annual subscription fee. We recognize monthly fees related to our mobile navigation services in the month we provide the services. We defer amounts received or billed in advance of the service being provided and recognize the deferred amounts when the monthly service has been provided. We recognize revenue for fixed fees for any number of subscribers receiving our services as part of bundles monthly on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Our agreements do not contain general rights of refund once the service has been provided. We also establish allowances for estimated credits subsequently issued to end users by our wireless carrier customers. We recognize as services revenue the amount our wireless carrier customers report to us as we provide our services, which are net of any revenue sharing or other fees earned and deducted by our wireless carrier customers. We are not the principal provider when selling access to our mobile navigation services through our wireless carrier customers as the subscribers directly contract with our wireless carrier customers. In addition, we may earn a fixed fee or fixed percentage of fees charged by our wireless carrier customers and our wireless carrier customers have the sole ability to set the price charged to their subscribers for our service. Our wireless carrier customers have direct responsibility for billing and collecting those fees from their subscribers and we and our wireless carrier customers may offer subscribers a free trial for our service. For end users who purchase our mobile navigation services through application stores, we utilize the application store billing process. We provide tiered pricing to certain of our wireless carrier customers based on the number of paying end users in a given month, which may result in a discounted fee per end user depending on the number of end users. Revenue recognized is based on the discounted fees earned for a given period. In certain instances, due to the nature and timing of monthly revenue and reporting from our customers, we may be required to make estimates of the amount of revenue to recognize from a customer for the current period. Estimates for revenue include our consideration of certain factors and information, including subscriber data, historical subscription and revenue reporting trends, end user subscription data from our internal systems, and data from comparable distribution channels of our other customers. We record any differences between estimated revenue and actual revenue in the reporting period when we determine the actual amounts. To date, actual amounts have not differed materially from our estimates. Cost of revenue Our cost of revenue consists primarily of the cost of third party royalty based data, such as map, points of interest, or POI, traffic, gas price and weather data, and voice recognition technology that we use in providing our personalized navigation services. Our cost of revenue also includes the cost of third party exchange ad inventory as well as expenses associated with third party hosting services, data center operations, customer support, the amortization of capitalized software, recognition of deferred development costs on specific projects, stock-based compensation and amortization of developed technology. In connection with our usage of licensed third party content, our contracts with certain licensors include minimum guaranteed royalty payments, which are payable regardless of the ultimate volume of revenue derived from the number of paying end users. These contracts contain obligations for the licensor to provide ongoing services and, accordingly, we record any minimum guaranteed royalty payments as an asset when paid and amortize the amount to cost of revenue over the applicable period. Any additional royalties due based on actual usage are expensed monthly as incurred. Foreign currency The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as part of a separate component of comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in our net income for each year. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average monthly exchange rates during the year. Equity transactions are translated using historical exchange rates. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) were $1.6 million , $(203,000) and $(251,000) in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. The foreign currency transaction gains of $1.6 million in fiscal 2015 were primarily driven by mark-to-market adjustment of intercompany balances. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of related taxes, were as follows (in thousands): Foreign Currency Unrealized for-Sale Total Balance, net of tax as of June 30, 2013 $ 270 $ 103 $ 373 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications, net of tax 51 284 335 Amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax — (132 ) (132 ) Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax 51 152 203 Balance, net of tax as of June 30, 2014 $ 321 $ 255 $ 576 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications, net of tax (1,698 ) (156 ) (1,854 ) Amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax — (262 ) (262 ) Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax (1,698 ) (418 ) (2,116 ) Balance, net of tax as of June 30, 2015 $ (1,377 ) $ (163 ) $ (1,540 ) The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, was determined using the specific identification method and the amount was included in other income, net, for fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amount of income tax benefit allocated to each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was not material for fiscal 2015 and 2014. Cash equivalents and short-term investments Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid fixed-income investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase, including money market funds. Short-term investments consist of readily marketable securities with a remaining maturity of more than three months from time of purchase. We classify all of our cash equivalents and short-term investments as “available-for-sale,” as these investments are free of trading restrictions. We may or may not hold securities with stated maturities greater than 12 months until maturity. After consideration of our risk versus reward objectives, as well as our liquidity requirements, we may sell these securities prior to their stated maturities. As we view these securities as available to support current operations, we classify securities with maturities beyond 12 months as current assets under the caption short-term investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income and included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses are recognized when realized. When we have determined that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount of the decline that is related to a credit loss is recognized in earnings. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. Our net realized gains were $236,000 , $164,000 and $152,000 in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Concentrations of risk and significant customers Financial instruments that subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments with well-capitalized financial institutions. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money-market accounts. Our primary customers are wireless carriers, automobile manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and we do not require collateral for accounts receivable. To manage the credit risk associated with accounts receivable, we evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers. We evaluate our accounts receivable on an ongoing basis to determine those amounts not collectible. To date, we are not aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations to us, other than those customers for which an allowance for doubtful accounts has been established. Revenue related to products and services provided through Ford Motor Company, or Ford, comprised 61% , 46% and 36% of revenue for fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Receivables due from Ford were 58% and 47% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Revenue related to services provided through AT&T Mobility LLC., or AT&T, comprised 15% , 24% and 28% of revenue for fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Receivables due from AT&T were 14% and 19% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Revenue related to services provided through Sprint Nextel Corporation, or Sprint, comprised less than 10% of revenue for fiscal 2015 and 2014 , and 16% of revenue for fiscal 2013 . No other customer represented 10% of our revenue or 10% of our receivables for any period presented. Our licensed map, POI and traffic data have been provided principally through TomTom North America, Inc., or TomTom, and HERE North America, LLC, a Nokia company, or HERE, in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . To date, we are not aware of circumstances that may impair either party’s intent or ability to continue providing such services to us. Restricted cash As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , we had restricted cash of $4.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , restricted cash is comprised primarily of an overpayment from a customer that will either be refunded or be applied to future amounts owed to us. Fair value of financial instruments The estimated fair market value of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximates the carrying values of those instruments due to their relatively short maturities. We measure certain other financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. We have established a hierarchy, which consists of three levels, for disclosure of the inputs used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments. Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 valuations are based on inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Such inputs used in determining fair value for Level 2 valuations include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 valuations are based on information that is unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , we did not have any Level 3 financial instruments. Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Computers, software, automobiles and equipment have useful lives of three years and fixtures and furniture have useful lives of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the related lease. Long-term investments Our long-term investments consist of privately-held investments, and are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2015 , the carrying value of our total privately-held investments was $2.5 million . Of this amount, a total of $1.8 million are accounted for as cost-basis investments, as we own less than 20% of the voting securities and do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entities. Our investments are in entities that are not publicly traded and, therefore, no established market for the securities exists. Our cost-method investments are carried at historical cost in our consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when indicators of impairment exist. If we believe that the carrying value of the cost basis investments is in excess of estimated fair value, our policy is to record an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value to estimated fair value, when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary. We regularly evaluate the carrying value of these cost-method investments for impairment. We record realized gains or losses on the sale or impairment of cost method investments in other income, net. In addition to these cost-basis investments, in April 2015, we entered into an agreement to spin off a product line developed by our Shanghai, China team, including certain assets and technology as well as the transfer of seven employees, and we agreed to invest $1.0 million in the form of a convertible note. We are the primary investor; however, we do not have significant influence over the operations of the business. Accordingly, we record the monthly net change in operating results against the carrying value of the convertible note recorded in long-term investments on our consolidated balance sheet. Fiscal 2015 includes three months of operating results for the investee entity. The entity's success is contingent upon its ability to generate revenue and raise additional capital. Based upon the early stage of this company, its lack of success to date in each of these endeavors, and China's recent unfavorable macroeconomic conditions making the raising of additional capital difficult, we recorded an impairment charge of $820,000 to write down the carrying value of the convertible note to zero as of June 30, 2015. In June 2015, we also entered into an agreement to spin off a product line developed by our Xian, China team, including certain assets and technology as well as the transfer of 12 employees, and we agreed to invest $800,000 in the form of a convertible note. We are the primary investor; however, we do not have significant influence over the operations of the business. Accordingly, we record the monthly net change in operating results against the carrying value of the convertible note recorded in long-term investments on our consolidated balance sheet. Fiscal 2015 includes one month of operating results for the investee entity. The entity's success is contingent upon its ability to generate revenue and raise additional capital. As of June 30, 2015, our investment balance was $744,000 . Including the impairment in the Shanghai, China spin off above, we recorded impairment charges of $1.3 million , $250,000 and $335,000 on certain non-marketable equity investments in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Also included in other income, net in fiscal 2014 is a $795,000 gain from the sale in December 2013 of an investment in a privately-held company. Long-lived assets We evaluate our long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. These tests are based on our operating segment and reporting unit structure. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. We are not required to calculate the fair value of our reporting units unless we determine, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value is less than our carrying amount. If we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its net book value, including goodwill. If the net book value exceeds its fair value, then we would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In assessing the fair value of our reporting units, we make assumptions regarding our estimated future cash flows, long-term growth rates, timing over which the cash flows will occur and, amongst other factors, the weighted average cost of capital. If our estimates or related assumptions change in the future, or if our net book value were to exceed our market capitalization, we may be required to record impairment loss related to our goodwill. We have not recognized any impairment of goodwill in the three year period ended June 30, 2015 . As of June 30, 2015 , we had goodwill of $31.3 million. Leases We lease our office facilities under operating lease agreements. Office facilities subject to an operating lease and the related lease payments are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet. The terms of certain lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis; however, we recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. Any lease incentives or contracted sublease income are recognized as reductions of rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease term begins on the date we become legally obligated for the rent payments or when we take possession of the office space, whichever is earlier. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , we had a total of $5.5 million and $7.5 million , respectively, in deferred rent related to tenant improvement lease incentives and graduated rent payments recorded as liabilities on our balance sheets. In addition, as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had a total of $2.6 million and $2.7 million , respectively, in accrued facility exit costs relating to our operating lease arrangements. See Note 12 for a discussion of our restructuring actions. Stock-based compensation We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements under the fair value recognition method, which requires us to measure the stock-based compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value, and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the employees’ requisite service period. We recognize compensation expense for the fair value of these awards with time-based vesting on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period of each of these awards, net of estimated forfeitures. Equity instruments issued to nonemployees are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying equity instruments vest. Income taxes We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax asset or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. Research and software development costs We expense research and development costs as incurred. We account for the costs of computer software we develop for internal use by capitalizing qualifying costs, which are incurred during the application development stage, and amortizing those costs over the application’s estimated useful life, which generally ranges from 18 to 24 months depending on the type of application. We capitalized none , none and $948,000 of software development costs during fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Amortization expense related to these costs, which has been recorded in cost of revenue, totaled $97,000 , $1.0 million and $2.1 million for fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. In addition, we wrote off none , none , and $112,000 of capitalized software development costs in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively, due to impairment. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , unamortized capitalized software development costs, which were included in other assets, were none and $97,000 , respectively. We also account for the costs of computer software we develop for customers requiring significant modification or customization by deferring qualifying costs under the completed contract method. All such development costs incurred are deferred until the related revenue is recognized. We deferred $802,000 , $943,000 and $1.3 million of software development costs during fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Development costs expensed to cost of revenue totaled $1.2 million , $922,000 and $4.9 million in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , deferred capitalized software development costs, which were included primarily in prepaid expenses and other current assets, were $44,000 and $500,000 , respectively. Advertising expense Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $1.1 million , $2.0 million and $3.1 million in fiscal 2015 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively. Recent accounting pronouncements In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, ratified Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue 13-C, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” which concludes an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. We adopted this amendment in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition . Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the full retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2015, the FASB, issued new guidance related to consolidations. The new standard amends the guidelines for determining whether certain legal entities should be consolidated and reduces the number of consolidation models. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this new accounting guidance on our financial statements. |
