Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, except share and per share amounts, are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015, the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2015, the results of its operation and its comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The consolidated financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are also unaudited. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim periods or future year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2015. Fair Value Measurements Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable, is used to measure fair value: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fleetmatics did not have any financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015 designated as Level 1. • Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices) such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Fleetmatics did not have any financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015 designated as Level 2. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. Fleetmatics has a contingent consideration liability assumed as a result of the Ornicar acquisition of $2,322 as of June 30, 2015 designated as Level 3. The Company’s contingent purchase consideration is valued by probability weighting expected payment scenarios and then applying a discount based on the present value of the future cash flow streams. This liability is classified as Level 3 because the probability weighting of future payment scenarios is based on assumptions developed by management. The Company determined a probability weighting that is weighted towards Ornicar achieving certain unit sales and pricing targets at the time of acquisition and the discount rate that is based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital which is then adjusted for the time value of money. The probability weighting will be adjusted as the actual results provide the Company with more reliable information to weight the probability scenarios. The carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities (with the exception of the Level 3 fair value measurement noted above) approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no other assets or liabilities that would be classified under this fair value hierarchy. Deferred Commissions The Company capitalizes commission costs that are incremental and directly related to the acquisition of customer contracts. For the majority of its customer contracts, the Company pays commissions in full when it receives the initial customer contract for a new subscription or a renewal subscription. For all other customer contracts, the Company pays commissions in full when it receives the initial customer payment for a new subscription or a renewal subscription. Commission costs are capitalized upon payment and are amortized as expense ratably over the term of the related non-cancelable customer contract, in proportion to the recognition of the subscription revenue. If a subscription agreement is terminated, the unamortized portion of any deferred commission cost is recognized as expense immediately. Commission costs capitalized during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled $3,089 and $3,939, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled $5,638 and $5,959, respectively. Amortization of deferred commissions totaled $2,508 and $2,003 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and totaled $4,947 and $3,761 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred commission costs, net of amortization, are included in other current and long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $16,174 and $15,496 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Foreign exchange differences also contribute to changes in the net amount of these deferred commission costs. Capitalized In-Vehicle Device Costs For customer arrangements in which we retain ownership of the in-vehicle devices installed in a customer’s fleet, we capitalize the cost of the in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs) as a component of property and equipment in our consolidated balance sheets, and we depreciate these assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, which is currently six years. If a customer subscription agreement is canceled or expires prior to the end of the expected useful life of the in-vehicle device, the carrying value of the asset is depreciated in full with expense immediately recorded as cost of subscription revenue. The carrying value of these installed in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs) was $68,987 and $61,804 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Depreciation of these installed in-vehicle devices totaled is included in cost of subscription revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. For the limited number of customer arrangements in which title to the in-vehicle devices transfers to the customer upon delivery or installation of the in-vehicle device (for which the Company receives an up-front fee from the customer), the Company defers the costs of the installed in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs) as they are directly related to the revenue that the Company derives from the sale of the devices and that it recognizes ratably over the estimated average customer relationship period of six years. The Company capitalizes these in-vehicle device costs and amortizes the deferred costs as expense ratably over the estimated average customer relationship period, in proportion to the recognition of the up-front fee revenue. Costs of in-vehicle devices owned by customers that were capitalized during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled $1 and $40, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 totaled $13 and $71, respectively. Amortization of these capitalized costs totaled $91 and $372 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $517 and $658 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is included in cost of subscription revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Capitalized costs related to these in-vehicle devices of which title has transferred to customers, net of amortization, are included in other current and long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled $1,221 and $2,398 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
