(Unaudited)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after elimination of all 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 September 30, 2016, the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 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 September 30, 2016, the results of its operations and its comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The consolidated financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are also unaudited. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 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, 2015 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2016.
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. The Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2016 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. The Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2016 designated as Level 2. |
7
| • | | 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. The Company has a contingent consideration liability assumed as a result of the acquisitions of Ornicar SAS (“Ornicar”) and of Inosat – Consultoria Informática, S.A. (“Inosat”) of $4,126 as of September 30, 2016 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 Company determined a probability weighting that is weighted towards Inosat achieving certain unit sales, pricing targets and EBITDA 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 weightings 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 approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 new customer contracts with a term of greater than one year. 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 September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $3,156 and $4,103, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $10,104 and $9,741, respectively. Amortization of deferred commissions totaled $3,042 and $2,465 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and totaled $8,945 and $7,412 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, 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 $18,620 and $17,518 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Foreign exchange differences also contribute to changes in the net amount of these deferred commission costs.
Capitalized In-Vehicle Device Costs
For in-vehicle devices of which the Company retains ownership after they are installed in a customer’s fleet, the cost of thein-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs) is capitalized as property and equipment. The Company depreciates these costs over the minimum estimated useful life of the devices or over the estimated average customer relationship period, which are both currently six years, beginning upon completion of installation. Related depreciation expense is recorded in cost of subscription revenue. If a customer subscription agreement is canceled or expires prior to the end of the expected useful life of thein-vehicle device, the carrying value of the asset is depreciated in full with expense immediately recorded as cost of subscription revenue. Before installation in a customer’s fleet, in-vehicle devices of which the Company retains ownership are recorded within property and equipment (referred to as In-vehicle devices—uninstalled), but are not depreciated.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $379 and $392, respectively. Amortization of these capitalized costs totaled $122 and $639 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and is included in cost of subscription revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Generally, the Company does not enter into customer arrangements whereby title to the in-vehicle devices transfers to the customer upon delivery or installation of the in-vehicle device.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”).ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and payments are classified in the statement of cash flows, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, and distributions from certain equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-15 requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-15 on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issuedASU 2016-09,Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Additionally, ASU 2016-02 modifies current guidance for lessors’ accounting. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustment (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Prior to the issuance of the standard, entities were required to retrospectively apply adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. The standard was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs(“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Prior to the issuance of the standard, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. The standard was effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP. The standard requires either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of the new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. In April 2016, the FASB issuedASU 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies certain aspects of identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes collected from customers. These standards have the same effective date and transition date of December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

10. Long-term Debt
Credit Facility
On January 21, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, for a senior, first-priority secured financing comprised of revolving loans, letters of credit and swing line loans in a total maximum amount of $125,000 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is collateralized by a senior first lien by certain assets and property of the Company. The Credit Facility consists of a five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility in a dollar amount of up to $125,000 which includes a sublimit of $5,000 for letters of credit and a $10,000 swing line facility. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the Credit Facility to a total of $200,000, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The Company used the net proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Facility to repay the $23,750 outstanding under the Company’s previously existing revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“Amended Revolving Credit Facility”), and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As a result of the early repayment of the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, in the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $107, comprised of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
At the Company’s election, loans made under the Credit Facility bear interest at either (1) a rate per annum equal to the highest of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, or 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or 2.0% in excess of one-month LIBOR (the “Base Rate”), plus an applicable margin, or (2) the one-, two-, three-, or six-month per annum LIBOR for deposits in U.S. Dollars, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the revolving loans depends on the Company’s leverage ratio and varies from 0.5% to 1.25%, in the case of Base Rate loans, and from 1.50% to 2.25%, in the case of LIBOR loans. Swing line loans bear interest at the Base Rate. Commitment fees on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility (excluding swing line loans) are payable at rates per annum ranging from 0.2% to 0.3%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.
On the issuance date of January 21, 2015, the Credit Facility was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet net of discount of $708, related to fees assessed by the lender at the time. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded additional fees related to the debt of $159. The carrying value of this debt is being accreted to the principal amount of the debt by charges to interest expense using the effective-interest method over the five-year term of the Credit Facility to the maturity date. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the debt discount balance totaled $585 and $717, respectively. Accretion amounts recognized as interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $44 and $44, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, totaled $132 and $107, respectively. On the issuance date, the Company also capitalized deferred financing costs of $501 related to third-party fees incurred in connection with the Credit Facility. These deferred costs are being amortized through charges to interest expense using the effective-interest method over the five-year term of the Credit Facility to the expiration date. At September 30, 2016, deferred financing cost recorded in other current assets and other assets (non-current) were $100 and $232, respectively, and totaled $332. Amortization amounts recognized as interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $25 and $25, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $75 and $70, respectively.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains certain customary financial, affirmative and negative covenants including a maximum leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio and negative covenants that limit or restrict, among other things, dividends, secured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, asset dispositions and sales, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, transactions with affiliates, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be repaid and, subject to customary terms and conditions, re-borrowed at any time during and up to the maturity date. Any outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is due and payable no later than January 21, 2020. As of September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

11. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was (2056.8)% and (12.1)%, respectively, on pre-tax income (loss) of $(37) thousand and $7,235, respectively. The effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2016 was lower than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to the net loss in the period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was lower than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to the release of reserves related to uncertain tax positions upon the expiration of a statute of limitation in Ireland, income being generated in a jurisdiction that has a lower tax rate than the Irish statutory rate and the Irish research and development tax credit.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was (4.4)% and 7.9%, respectively, on pre-tax income of $8,443 and $28,203, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was lower than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to the release of various historical uncertain tax positions including interest and penalties in the third quarter and by research and development tax credits in Ireland. These decreases were partially offset by the recording of uncertain tax positions. The Company made a change to its organizational structure in the fourth quarter of 2014 that impacted the jurisdictional mix of profits and was beneficial to our income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest, may decrease by up to $328. This is primarily due to statute of limitations expiring for the recognition of these tax benefits of one of the Company’s Irish subsidiaries in 2017.
12. Share-Based Awards
2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
In September 2011, the Board of Directors adopted and the Company’s shareholders approved the 2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan permits the Company to make grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units and cash-based awards at an exercise price no less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s ordinary shares on the grant date and with a maximum term of seven years. These awards may be granted to the Company’s employees and non-employee directors. Pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Plan, the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan automatically increases by 4.75% of the outstanding ordinary shares issued and outstanding on an annual basis as of January 31. As of September 30, 2016, the number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan was 7,282,645. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization.
The Company grants share-based awards with employment service conditions only (“service-based” awards) and share-based awards with both employment service and performance conditions (“performance-based” awards). The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions for all share-based awards granted or modified and records compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award based on the grant-date fair value. The straight-line method is applied to all service-based awards granted, while the graded-vesting method is applied to all performance-based awards granted. The requisite service period for service-based awards is generally four years, with restrictions lapsing evenly over the period.
Stock Option Activity
Stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Shares Under Option | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |

2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan
In September 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and its shareholders approved the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan, which became effective upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in October 2012. The 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000 ordinary shares to participating employees.
Employees of certain subsidiaries of the Company who have been employed for at least 30 days and whose customary employment is for more than 20 hours per week are eligible to participate in the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan. Any employee who owns 5% or more of the voting power or value of ordinary shares is not eligible to purchase shares under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan. The Company will make one or more offerings each year to its employees to purchase shares under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan. The first offering began during 2013 and subsequent offerings will usually begin on each May 1st and November 1st and will continue for six-month periods, referred to as offering periods. Each eligible employee may elect to participate in any offering by submitting an enrollment form at least 15 days before the relevant offering date.
Each employee who is a participant in the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan may purchase shares by authorizing payroll deductions of up to 15% of his or her base compensation during an offering period. Unless the participating employee has previously withdrawn from the offering, his or her accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase ordinary shares on the last business day of the offering period at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the ordinary shares on the first business day or the last business day of the offering period, whichever is lower, provided that no more than 2,500 ordinary shares may be purchased by any one employee during each offering period. Under applicable tax rules, an employee may purchase no more than $25 worth of ordinary shares, valued at the start of the purchase period, under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan in any calendar year.
The accumulated payroll deductions of any employee who is not a participant on the last day of an offering period will be refunded. An employee’s rights under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan terminate upon voluntary withdrawal from the plan or when the employee ceases employment with the Company for any reason.
The 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan may be terminated or amended by the Board of Directors at any time. An amendment that increases the number of ordinary shares that are authorized under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan and certain other amendments require the approval of the Company’s shareholders.
Restricted Stock Unit Awards
In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company granted service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the purchase of 1,107,111 ordinary shares and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) for the purchase of 426,804 ordinary shares with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $42.16. The RSUs have restrictions which lapse four years from the date of grant. Restrictions on the PSUs will lapse based upon the achievement of certain financial performance targets during the applicable performance period, which ends on December 31, 2016. The grant date fair value of the shares is recognized over the requisite period of performance once achievement of criteria is deemed probable. Periodically throughout the performance period, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving performance goals. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates. If the targets are not achieved, the shares will be forfeited by the employee.
The following table summarizes unvested RSUs and PSUs activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The Company leases its office space under non-cancelable operating leases, some of which contain payment escalations. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term and records the difference between cash rent payments and rent expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as accrued rent within accrued expenses (current) and other liabilities (non-current).
16
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating and capital leases at September 30, 2016 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Years Ending December 31, | | Operating Leases | | | Capital Leases | | | Total | |

Present value of minimum lease payments | | | | | | $ | 4,024 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Data Center Agreements
The Company has agreements with various vendors to provide specialized space and services for the Company to host its software application. Future minimum payments under non-cancelable data center agreements at September 30, 2016 totaled $2,099 of which $459, $1,574 and $66 is due in the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively.
Purchase Commitments
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had non-cancelable purchase commitments related to telecommunications, subscription fees for third-party data (such as Internet maps and posted speed limits) and subscription fees for software services totaling $5,198, of which $882, $3,346, $951 and $19 will become payable in the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Indemnification Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of agreements, from services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its Board of Directors and certain of its officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive notification alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. Except as noted below, the Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, in its opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its business or its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows should such litigation be resolved unfavorably. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
On October 27, 2015, Orthosie Systems, LLC filed a complaint against the Company (Orthosie Systems, LLC v. Fleetmatics USA, LLCet al., Civil Action No. 2:15-cv-1681) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,430,471 entitled “Method and System for Monitoring a Vehicle.” The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an injunction. On March 9, 2016, the Company filed its answer to the complaint and asserted counterclaims of noninfringement and invalidity. The parties have exchanged proposed claim constructions and a Markman hearing is currently scheduled for December 14, 2016. At this stage of the litigation, the Company is unable to estimate whether a loss is reasonably possible. While the Company does not believe that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows, the Company cannot be assured that this will be the case.
17
On August 30, 2016, Rothschild Digital Confirmation, LLC filed a complaint against the Company (Rothschild Digital Confirmation, LLC v. Fleetmatics USA, LLCet al., Civil Action No. 2:16-cv-00968) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of claims 1 and 27 of U.S. Patent No. 7,456,872 (“the ’872 patent”) entitled “Device and Method of Embedding and Retrieving Information in Digital Images.” The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an injunction. On October 4, 2016, Rothschild Digital Confirmation filed an amended complaint withdrawing claim 27 and asserting infringement of claim 1 only. The Company’s answer or response to the amended complaint is due on December 9, 2016. At this stage of the litigation, the Company is unable to estimate whether a loss is reasonably possible. While the Company does not believe that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows, the Company cannot be assured that this will be the case.
On January 12, 2016, David Gillard and Jaclyn Stramiello, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint against the Company (Gillardet al. v. Fleetmatics USA, LLC,et al., Civil Action No. 8:16-cv-81-T-27MAP) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida alleging the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries violated certain provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (the “FLSA”) by failing to pay overtime, among other things. On February 8, 2016, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which added another named party plaintiff, Troy Pate. On February 10, 2016 the Court struck the amended complaint and the plaintiffs filed their second amended complaint on February 12, 2016. The second amended complaint alleges essentially the same claims as previously alleged. The plaintiffs sought certification of the matter as a collective action under the FLSA. The FLSA permits an aggrieved person to recover as damages back pay, an equal amount of money as liquidated damages, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company filed its answer to the second amended complaint on March 11, 2016. On August 16, 2016, the parties executed a settlement agreement providing for an aggregate settlement amount of $2,102,250 consisting of the payment of $1,559,188 in back pay and liquidated damages to members of the class of business development representatives, or web sales representatives, in the Company’s U.S. offices, $17,500 in incentive fees for the named plaintiffs and one of the opt-in plaintiffs, and the Company’s agreement not to object to attorneys’ fees up to $525,562. The settlement agreement was subject to Court approval. On August 19, 2016, the parties filed a joint motion for Court approval of the settlement agreement and class certification. The Court denied the motion to approve the settlement agreement without prejudice, requested the removal of certain confidentiality provisions, and reserved ruling on the remainder of the motion pending the submission of the amended settlement agreement. On September 29, 2016, the parties jointly filed the amended settlement agreement for the same aggregate amount as set out in the August 16, 2016 settlement agreement and renewed their motion for approval. On November 4, 2016, the Court granted final approval of the settlement agreement, conditionally certified the matter as a collective action for purposes of settlement and dismissed the case with prejudice. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company must appoint an administrator for payout of claims to class members, and any amounts unclaimed by the class members at the end of the payout period provided in the settlement agreement will revert to the Company.
15. Subsequent Events
On July 30, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) to be acquired by Verizon for $60.00 per ordinary share in cash (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was approved by the shareholders of the Company at a Court Meeting of shareholders of the Company and at an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of the Company, each held on October 12, 2016. The Acquisition was subsequently sanctioned by the High Court of Ireland at a Court Hearing held on November 4, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, at the effective time of the scheme of arrangement under Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Irish Companies Act of 2014 and in accordance with the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997, Takeover Rules 2013, as amended, all of the issued share capital of the Company will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the cash payments provided for pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement. Following completion of the Acquisition, the Company’s ordinary shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and will no longer trade publicly. A description of the Transaction Agreement is contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 1, 2016, and a copy of the Transaction Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to such report and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 to this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q.

Overview
Fleetmatics is a leading global provider of mobile workforce solutions for service-based businesses of all sizes delivered as software-as-a-service (“SaaS”). Our mobile software platform enables businesses to meet the challenges associated with managing their local fleets of commercial vehicles and improve productivity by extracting actionable business intelligence from real-time and historical vehicle and driver behavioral data. We offer intuitive, cost-effective Web-based and mobile application solutions that provide fleet operators with visibility into vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage and other insights into their mobile workforce, enabling them to reduce operating and capital costs, as well as increase revenue. Our integrated, full-featured mobile workforce management application provides additional efficiencies related to job management by empowering the field worker and expediting the job completion process from quote through payment. As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately 42,000 customers and approximately 826,000 vehicle subscriptions worldwide. The substantial majority of our customers are small and medium-sized businesses, or SMBs, each of which deploys our solutions in 500 or fewer vehicles. A smaller portion of our customers are enterprise businesses, each of which deploys our solutions in 500 or more vehicles. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we collected an average of approximately 82 million data points per day from subscribers and have aggregated over 123 billion data points since our inception. We may consider the development of complementary business intelligence solutions related to this data set, which may in turn drive additional sources of revenue.
We were founded in 2004 in Dublin, Ireland. Since inception, our software has been designed to be delivered as a hosted, multi-tenant offering, accessed through mobile apps or a Web browser utilizing broadly available in-vehicle devices to transmit vehicle and driver behavioral data to our databases over cellular networks.
In August 2013, we acquired Sydney, Australia-based, Connect2Field Holdings Pty Limited (“Connect2Field”), a privately-held provider of cloud-based software solutions for service businesses and their mobile workers. The Connect2Field product became the foundation of Fleetmatics WORK. The acquisition of Connect2Field supported our ability to execute on our vision of enabling field service businesses globally to leverage the prevalence of wireless data and mobile devices and giving them tools they need to automate, manage, simplify and improve their operations. We believe that our field service management solution, particularly among SMBs where they are replacing manual processes that are often prone to inefficiency and errors, will help our customers improve customer service levels, increase mobile productivity and enhance savings.
19
In April 2014, we released a software platform and launched three new product offerings: Fleetmatics REVEAL, a business-intelligence based fleet management solution for SMBs; Fleetmatics REVEAL+, which extends the applicability of Fleetmatics REVEAL to larger enterprises; and Fleetmatics WORK, a field service management solution. This software platform is an analytics-based, extensible foundation to deliver solutions, features, insights and applications that optimize how a mobile workforce gets work done and how a business manages its mobile assets. The three products that fall under the software platform offer a solution for fleet management and field service management and are designed to help businesses maximize their return on fleet and mobile workforce investments.
In May 2014, we acquired Florence, Italy-based KKT S.r.l. (“KKT”), the privately-held developer of Routist, a SaaS-based, intelligent vehicle routing solution for businesses looking to optimize the utilization of their fleets and mobile resources. Via its sophisticated algorithms, Routist provides optimized route plans for vehicles making multiple stops daily, and provides opportunities for companies to achieve significant cost savings by helping to reduce miles driven, fuel consumption, and vehicle maintenance costs. Routist’s complex and flexible optimization engine is able to take into consideration locations, vehicles, time windows, technician skills, costs and capacities, among other inputs, while remaining simple and intuitive for customers to use.
In February 2015, we acquired Grenoble, France-based Ornicar SAS (“Ornicar”), a SaaS-based provider of fleet management solutions. Ornicar added approximately 15,000 vehicles under subscription to Fleetmatics’ existing installed base. This acquisition is consistent with our global growth strategy to further expand into mainland Europe and to acquire additional customers in new territories. The acquisition of Ornicar and the French market expertise of the Ornicar team accelerated our presence and brand in a country that we believe offers us one of the largest market opportunities in Europe.
In November 2015, we acquired Ferrara, Italy-based Visirun S.p.A. (“Visirun”), a SaaS-based provider of fleet management solutions. Visirun added approximately 30,000 vehicles under subscription to our existing installed base and added more than 3,000 customers. We believe that the acquisition of Visirun helps us to scale our European subscriber base while also bringing us important Italian market expertise.
On July 30, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) to be acquired by Verizon for $60.00 per ordinary share in cash (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was approved by our shareholders at a Court Meeting of shareholders of Fleetmatics and at an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of Fleetmatics, each held on October 12, 2016. The Acquisition was subsequently sanctioned by the High Court of Ireland at a Court Hearing held on November 4, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement, at the effective time of the scheme of arrangement under Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Irish Companies Act of 2014 and in accordance with the Irish Takeover Panel Act 1997, Takeover Rules 2013, as amended, all of our share capital will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the cash payments provided for pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement. Following completion of the transaction, our ordinary shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and will no longer trade publicly. A description of the Transaction Agreement is contained in our Current Report onForm 8-K filed with the SEC on August 1, 2016, and a copy of the Transaction Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to such report and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 to this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q.
In September 2016, we acquired Lisbon, Portugal-based Inosat – Consultoria Informática, S.A. (“Inosat”), a SaaS-based provider of fleet management solutions. Inosat added approximately 50,000 vehicles under subscription to Fleetmatics’ existing installed base. This acquisition is consistent with our global growth strategy to further expand into mainland Europe and to acquire additional customers in new territories.
We derive substantially all of our revenues from subscription agreements to our solutions, which typically include the use of ourSaaS-based fleet management solution and an in-vehicle device or simply a SaaS-based solution for our field service-only customers. We generate sales through lead-generating Web-based advertising and targeted outbound sales efforts, which we then work to convert into paying customers. Our in-vehicle devices associated with our fleet management offering are installed by our network of installation partners. Initial customer contracts are typically 36 months in duration for fleet management customers and 12 months in duration for field service management customers, both of which renew automatically for one or three-year periods thereafter, unless the customer elects not to renew. These contract terms provide us with a high degree of visibility into future revenue. Our customer contracts are non-cancelable, and our customers generally are billed on a monthly basis.
20
We have achieved significant revenue growth historically. Our growth has been driven through a combination of selling to new customers, selling additional vehicle subscriptions to existing customers, as their number of vehicles under management increases, as well as selling additional features of our fleet management applications to our existing customers. Our customer acquisition model is designed to be efficient and scalable by focusing on acquiring large volumes of leads primarily through Web-based sales and marketing efforts. Through these efforts, we have successfully driven strong growth in sales among a relatively diverse and distributed SMB customer base. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our largest customer accounted for approximately 4% and 5%, respectively, of our subscription revenue and our top 25 customers represented approximately 12% and 13%, respectively, of our subscription revenue.
As we pursue our growth strategy, we will have many opportunities and challenges. One of our key initiatives is to continue to expand our business internationally and we expect to continue to hire additional personnel as we pursue this continued expansion. We may also continue to complete strategic acquisitions to help us expand our sales and operations internationally. We will have to address additional risks as we pursue this international expansion, including the difficulties of localizing our solutions, competing with local companies as well as the challenge of managing and staffing international operations. We also intend to explore opportunities to capitalize on the data we accumulate from our customers’ vehicles as we seek ways to monetize this valuable information. Over time, we may experience pressure on pricing as our products become more mature and as competition intensifies in various markets. Each of our strategic initiatives will require expenditure of capital and management focus and we may be unsuccessful as we execute our strategy.
In each quarter since our inception, we have increased our number of customers and the number of vehicles subscribed to our solutions. As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately 826,000 vehicles under subscription, an increase of 26.1% from approximately 655,000 as of September 30, 2015. Our subscription revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 grew 17.2% to $243.2 million compared to $207.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. As the business has grown, we have leveraged our scale to negotiate improved pricing associated with application hosting, procurement of in-vehicle devices, telecommunication services and third-party data subscription services. We reported net income of $8.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net income of $26.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below under Key Financial and Operating Metrics) in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 grew 14.6% to $77.0 million compared to $67.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Total vehicles under subscription | | | | | | | | | | | 826,000 | | | | 655,000 | |
Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 27,196 | | | $ | 24,773 | | | $ | 77,018 | | | $ | 67,193 | |
Total vehicles under subscription. This metric represents the number of vehicles managed by our customers utilizing one or more of our fleet management SaaS solutions at the end of the period. Since our revenue is primarily driven by the number of vehicles that subscribe to our SaaS solutions, we believe that the number of total fleet management vehicles under subscription is an important metric to monitor. This number excludes any subscriptions associated with the Fleetmatics field service management solution.
Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest (income) expense, net, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), net, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of capitalized in-vehicle-devices owned by customers, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, certain litigation and settlement costs, acquisition-related transaction costs and loss on extinguishment of debt.
We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends; to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operational plans; and to allocate resources to expand our business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Adjusted EBITDA is a key financial measure used by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors in connection with the payment of bonuses to our executive officers. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors.
21
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| • | | although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our debt or any losses on the extinguishment of our debt; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the costs of certain litigation and settlement payments; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition-related transaction costs; |
| • | | Adjusted EBITDA does not include foreign currency transaction gains and losses; and |
| • | | other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income and our other GAAP results. The following unaudited table presents a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

Components of Results of Operations
Subscription Revenue
We derive substantially all of our revenue from subscription fees for our solutions, which predominately include the use of our SaaS-based fleet management solution and an in-vehicle device. Our revenue is driven primarily by the number of vehicles under subscription, or number of subscriptions in the case of our field service management offering, and the price per subscription. In addition, we generate revenue by selling our customers additional features, such as our fuel card integration, driving style option, and integration with Global Positioning System, or GPS, navigation devices. We also generate revenue by selling aggregated, anonymous data to third parties.
Our contract terms generally are 36 months in duration for fleet management customers and 12 months in duration for field service management customers for their initial term, both of which renew automatically for one or three-year periods thereafter, unless the customer elects not to renew. We collect fees from our customers for a ratable portion of the contract on a periodic basis, generally on a monthly basis in advance. Our payment terms are typically monthly; however, we continue to enable certain of our customers to prepay all or part of their contractual obligations quarterly, annually or for the full contract term in exchange for a modest prepayment discount that is reflected in the pricing of the contract.
22
Cost of Subscription Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of costs related to communications, third-party data and hosting costs (which include the cost of telecommunications charges for data; subscription fees paid to third-party providers of Internet maps; posted speed limit, local address and other data; and costs of hosting of our software applications underlying our product offerings); third-party costs related to the maintenance and repair of installed in-vehicle devices, which we refer to as field service costs; depreciation ofin-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs related to these devices); amortization of capitalized in-vehicle devices owned by customers; personnel costs (including share-based compensation) of our customer support activities and related to configuration of our solutions to interface with the customers’ workflow or other internal systems where necessary; amortization expense for internal-use capitalized software costs; amortization of developed technology acquired as part of our acquisition of Inosat in September 2016, Visirun in November 2015, Ornicar in February 2015, KKT in May 2014, and Connect2Field in August 2013; amortization of the patent for our vehicle tracking system; and an allocation of occupancy and general office related expenses, such as rent and utilities, based on headcount. We allocate a portion of customer support costs related to assisting in the sales process to sales and marketing expense.
We capitalize the cost of installed in-vehicle devices (including installation and shipping costs related to these devices) and depreciate these costs over the minimum estimated useful life of the devices or over the estimated average customer relationship period, which are both currently six years. If a customer subscription agreement is canceled or expires prior to the end of the expected useful life of the device under contract, the depreciation period is accelerated resulting in the carrying value being expensed in the then-current period. Furthermore, as a result of the decommissioning of its 2G network by one of our primary network providers, we are incurring additional costs as we migrate customers from in-vehicle devices that support 2G networks to in-vehicle devices that support 3G networks. We expect to have the customer migration completed by the end of 2016.
The expenses related to our hosted software applications are only modestly affected by the number of customers who subscribe to our products because of the scalability of our software applications, data expansion and hosting infrastructure. However, many of the other components of our cost of subscription revenue, such as depreciation of in-vehicle devices and installation and shipping costs related to these devices, communications expense and subscription fees paid to our Internet map providers and for otherthird-party data are variable costs affected by the number of vehicles subscribed by customers.
We expect that the cost of subscription revenue in absolute dollars will increase in the future depending on the growth rate of subscription sales to new and existing customers and our resulting need to service and support those customers. We also expect that cost of subscription revenue as a percentage of subscription revenue will fluctuate from period to period as certain expense components are not expected to increase linearly with revenue.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits (including share-based compensation) for sales and marketing personnel, including the amortization of deferred commissions and travel related expenses; advertising and promotional costs; and an allocation of occupancy and general office related expenses, such as rent and utilities, based on headcount. Also included in our sales and marketing expenses is the amortization of the value of customer relationships and trademarks acquired as part of our SageQuest acquisition in 2010, Ornicar in February 2015, Visirun in November 2015, and Inosat in September 2016. Advertising costs consist primarily of pay-per-click advertising with search engines, other online and offline advertising media, as well as the costs to create and produce these advertisements. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. We capitalize commission costs that are incremental and directly related to the acquisition of new customer contracts with a term of greater than one year. For the majority of our customer contracts, we pay commissions in full when we receive the initial customer contract for a new subscription or a renewal subscription. For all other customer contracts, we pay commissions in full when we receive 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 an expense immediately.
We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing in order to drive growth in our sales and continue to build brand and category awareness. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars and to continue to be our largest operating expense in absolute dollars and as a percentage of subscription revenue, although they may fluctuate as a percentage of subscription revenue.
23
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits (including share-based compensation) for product management and development personnel, costs of external consultants, and, to a lesser extent, an allocation of occupancy and general office related expenses, such as rent and utilities, based on headcount. We have focused our research and development efforts on improving ease of use, functionality and technological scalability of our existing products as well as on expanding and developing new offerings. The majority of our research and development employees are located in our development center in Ireland. Therefore, a majority of research and development expense is subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, except for certain internal-use software development costs that qualify for capitalization, such as costs related to software enhancements that add functionality, which are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful life.
We believe that continued investment in our technology is important for our future growth, and as a result, we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars, although they may fluctuate as a percentage of subscription revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits (including share-based compensation) for administrative services, human resources, internal information technology support, executive, legal, finance and accounting personnel; professional fees; expenses for business application software licenses; non-income related taxes; other corporate expenses, such as insurance; credit card and banking fees; bad debt expenses; and an allocation of occupancy and general office related expenses, such as rent and utilities, based on headcount.
We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase as we continue to add personnel in connection with the anticipated growth of our business.
Interest Income (Expense), net
Interest income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expense on our outstanding debt as well as on our capital lease obligations.
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain (Loss), net
Foreign currency transaction gain (loss), net consists primarily of the net unrealized gains and losses recognized upon revaluing the foreign currency-denominated intercompany payables and receivables of our various subsidiaries at each balance sheet date. To a lesser extent, foreign currency transaction gain (loss), net also consists of the transaction gains and losses recorded to revalue the foreign currency-denominated customer accounts receivable and vendor payables recorded by our subsidiaries that transact in currencies other than their functional currency. We currently do not engage in hedging activities related to our foreign currency-denominated intercompany balances or our customer receivables and other payables; as such, we cannot predict the impact of future foreign currency transaction gains and losses on our operating results. See “Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of taxes in Ireland, the United States and the United Kingdom. There are two main drivers of our annual effective tax rate. First, as a multi-national company, we are subject to tax in various jurisdictions which apply various statutory rates of tax to our income. Each of these jurisdictions has its own tax law which is subject to interpretation on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. In Ireland, our operating entity is subject to tax at a 12.5% tax rate and ournon-operating entities are subject to tax at a 25% or 0% tax rate, while our foreign subsidiaries in the United States and the United Kingdom are subject to tax rates of approximately 39% and 20%, respectively. Second, as a result of our global business model, we engage in a significant number of cross-border intercompany transactions. As a result of these transactions, we have recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions related to how the different jurisdictions may conclude on the tax treatment of the transaction and how we might settle those exposures. There is no guarantee that how one jurisdiction might view a particular transaction will be respected by another jurisdiction. Additionally, there may be instances where our income is subject to taxation in more than one jurisdiction.

Subscription revenue increased by $9.7 million, or 13.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 and increased $35.6 million, or 17.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This revenue growth was primarily driven by the increase in the average number of vehicles under subscription, which grew by approximately 26.1% year-over-year. As of the period-ends, the number of vehicles under subscription increased from approximately 655,000 as of September 30, 2015 to approximately 826,000 as of September 30, 2016. The increase in vehicles under subscription was due in large part to our investment in sales and marketing of our solutions, including the addition of 95 sales and marketing personnel from period-end to period-end, as well as growth related to our international expansion activities.

Cost of subscription revenue increased by $2.7 million, or 14.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in variable expenses resulting from an increase in the number of vehicles under subscription, which grew approximately 26.1% period-end to period-end (inclusive of the costs associated with acquired in-vehicle devices from the Visirun acquisition in November 2015, and to a lesser extent, the Inosat acquisition in September 2016 and the Ornicar acquisition in February 2015). Depreciation and amortization of installed in-vehicle
25
devices increased by $1.1 million primarily due to the increase in the number of vehicles under subscription as well as additional costs incurred due to the migration of some of our customers from 2G to 3G networks. Additionally, depreciation expense related to production equipment increased by $0.3 million. Payroll and related expenses, inclusive of share-based compensation expense, increased by $0.9 million primarily due to an increase of 58 employees in our customer support and configuration groups. Amortization of internal-use software increased by $0.4 million as a result of increased capitalized costs period-over-period related to our internal-use software applications accessed by our customers through our website.
Cost of subscription revenue increased by $10.5 million, or 19.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in variable expenses resulting from an increase in the number of vehicles under subscription, which grew approximately 26.1% period-end to period-end (inclusive of the costs associated with acquired in-vehicle devices from the Visirun acquisition in November 2015, and to a lesser extent, the Inosat acquisition in September 2016 and the Ornicar acquisition in February 2015). Depreciation and amortization of installed in-vehicle devices increased by $3.6 million primarily due to the increase in the number of vehicles under subscription as well as additional costs incurred due to the migration of some of our customers from 2G to 3G networks. Additionally, depreciation expense related to production equipment increased by $1.0 million. Field service costs for maintenance and repair of installed in-vehicle devices increased by $2.1 million primarily due to the increase in the number of vehicles under subscription. Payroll and related expenses, inclusive of share-based compensation expense, increased by $2.4 million primarily due to an increase of 58 employees in our customer support and configuration groups. Amortization of internal-use software increased by $1.3 million as a result of increased capitalized costs period-over-period related to our internal-use software applications accessed by our customers through our website. Amortization of acquired developed technology increased by $0.1 million primarily due to amortization related to the intangible assets acquired in the Visirun acquisition. Acquired developed technology is amortized over its estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years, based on the pattern over which we expect to consume the economic benefit of each asset which in general reflects the expected cash flows from each asset.
As a percentage of subscription revenue, our cost of subscription revenue increased from 25.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 to 25.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and increased from 25.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 26.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We continue to negotiate improved pricing for our subscriber-based costs, such as the cost of in-vehicle devices, data communication charges and third-party data subscription fees, including those for mapping and posted speed limit data and have achieved improved economies of scale from our hosting activities and configuration personnel as these components of our costs result in minimal incremental cost per vehicle under subscription. However, these efficiencies were offset by implementation costs related to our field service management application, an increase in amortization expense associated with investment in our internal-use software, an increase in fleet management costs due to the increase in the number of vehicles under subscription and, to a lesser extent, accelerated costs due to terminated subscriptions.

Sales and marketing expense increased $5.9 million, or 23.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts into international markets, including the addition of sales and marketing personnel from the Ornicar, Visirun and Inosat acquisitions, the expansion of dedicated sales teams to support our field service management application, and our continued investment in building brand and category awareness in our market to drive customer adoption of our solutions. We incurred increased payroll-related costs, inclusive of commissions and share-based compensation expense, of $4.9 million, primarily related to the expansion of our sales and marketing teams. These increases were the result of an increase of 95 sales and marketing personnel from period-end to period-end added to further pursue the continued sales growth strategy of our business. We also increased the number of our marketing personnel to focus on lead generation, brand awareness and search engine optimization. Advertising and promotional expenditures increased by $0.5 million due to additional marketing and advertising efforts. Amortization expense increased by $0.5 million related to customer relationships and trademarks acquired in the Inosat and Visirun acquisitions. Customer relationships and trademarks are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to nine years, based on the pattern over which we expect to consume the economic benefit of each asset which in general reflects the expected cash flows from each asset.
Sales and marketing expense increased $16.7 million, or 23.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

brand and category awareness in our market to drive customer adoption of our solutions. We incurred increased payroll-related costs, inclusive of commissions and share-based compensation expense, of $13.0 million, and increased travel expense of $0.2 million, primarily related to the expansion of our sales and marketing teams. These increases were the result of an increase of 95 sales and marketing personnel from period-end to period-end added to further pursue the continued sales growth strategy of our business. We also increased the number of our marketing personnel to focus on lead generation, brand awareness and search engine optimization. Advertising and promotional expenditures increased by $1.5 million due to additional marketing and advertising efforts. Facilities expense increased by $0.8 million as a result of additional office space requirements related to our additional hiring efforts. Amortization expense increased by $1.2 million related to customer relationships and trademarks acquired in the Inosat and Visirun acquisitions. Customer relationships and trademarks are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to nine years, based on the pattern over which we expect to consume the economic benefit of each asset which in general reflects the expected cash flows from each asset.
As a percentage of subscription revenue, sales and marketing expense increased from 33.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 to 36.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2016, and increased from 34.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 36.6%in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These increases were primarily due to the increases in payroll and related expenses and advertising and promotional expenditures period-over-period as noted above. Other cost increases in sales and marketing expense were in line with the percentage growth in subscription revenue period-over-period.

Research and development expense increased $2.2 million, or 38.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to additional payroll-related costs, inclusive of share-based compensation, of $1.7 million, travel expense of $0.1 million and facilities expense of $0.3 million, all incurred related to an additional 61 employees hired (inclusive of research and development personnel from the Inosat and Visirun acquisitions), as well as $0.1 million of consulting costs to further enhance and develop our products.
Research and development expense increased $6.6 million, or 42.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to additional payroll-related costs, inclusive of share-based compensation, of $5.3 million, travel expense of $0.2 million and facilities expense of $0.8 million, all incurred related to an additional 61 employees hired (inclusive of research and development personnel from the Inosat and Visirun acquisitions), as well as $0.3 million of consulting costs to further enhance and develop our products.
Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 of $7.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 of $22.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively, was recorded net after capitalization of $1.7 million, $1.2 million, $4.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of costs related to our internal-use software applications accessed by our customers through our website.
As a percentage of subscription revenue, research and development expense, net of capitalized costs related to our internal-use software applications, increased from 7.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 to 9.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2016, and increased from 7.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 9.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These increases were primarily due to the increases in payroll and related expenses period-over-period as noted above.

General and administrative expense increased $7.7 million, or 53.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $5.1 million in professional fees related to acquisition-related transaction costs. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense period-over-period was an increase of $2.4 million in payroll-related costs, inclusive of share-based compensation, and $0.1 million of travel expenses primarily the result of an increase of 45 general and administrative personnel period-over-period (inclusive of general and administrative personnel from the Inosat and Visirun acquisitions) in order to support the growth in the business. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense period-over-period was an increase of $0.1 million in merchant and bank fees.
27
General and administrative expense increased $17.8 million, or 45.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $5.1 million in professional fees related to acquisition-related transaction costs as well as an increase of $3.4 million in professional fees related to legal fees and settlement costs for certain legal matters (see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for further details about litigation). Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense period-over-period was an increase of $7.0 million in payroll-related costs, inclusive of share-based compensation, $0.1 million of travel expenses, and $0.4 million of facilities expenses primarily the result of an increase of 45 general and administrative personnel period-over-period (inclusive of general and administrative personnel from the Inosat and Visirun acquisitions) in order to support the growth in the business. Bad debt expense increased $1.5 million due to the increase in the number of customers and their related accounts receivable balances period-over-period. Also contributing to the increase in general and administrative expense period-over-period was an increase of $0.3 million in merchant and bank fees.
As a percentage of subscription revenue, general and administrative expense increased from 19.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 to 26.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and increased from 18.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to 23.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These increases were primarily due to the increases in professional fees related to acquisition-related transaction costs, settlement costs and legal fees, payroll and related expenses and bad debt expense period-over-period as noted above.

Interest income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased $46 thousand, or 25.1%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015, and increased $18 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, or 2.7%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and primarily reflects the interest expense incurred on our long-term debt and capital leases as well as amortization expense of related debt discounts and deferred financing costs. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further details about our existing credit facility with Citibank, N.A., or the Credit Facility. Interest income netted against interest expense was immaterial in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized $0.7 million in foreign currency transaction losses as compared to $1.1 million in foreign currency transaction losses for the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized $3.1 million in foreign currency transaction losses as compared to $2.0 million in foreign currency transaction gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Foreign currency transaction gain (loss), net primarily reflects the foreign currency transaction gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on certain asset balances and intercompany payables and receivables denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the legal entities in which the transactions are recorded. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) arise from fluctuations in the value of the U.S. Dollar compared to other currencies in which we transact, primarily the Euro and British Pound Sterling, and to a lesser extent the Australian Dollar. The $3.1 million foreign currency transaction losses recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily the result of the movement in the Euro which strengthened by approximately 2% compared to the U.S. Dollar. The $2.0 million foreign currency transaction gain recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is primarily the result of the movement in the Euro which weakened by approximately 8% compared to the U.S. Dollar.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In January 2015, we used the $23.8 million in net proceeds from the borrowings under the Credit Facility with Citibank, N.A. to pay in full the amounts due under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. The repayment of the Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC debt was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million, which was primarily comprised of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

Our provision for (benefit from) for income taxes consists primarily of taxes in Ireland, the United States and the United Kingdom. We are subject to tax in various jurisdictions that apply various statutory rates of tax to our income. Each of these jurisdictions has its own tax law, which is subject to interpretation on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In Ireland, our operating entity is subject to tax at a 12.5% tax rate on its trading income and 25% on its non-trading income and our non-operating entities are subject to tax at a 25% or 0% tax rate, while our foreign subsidiaries in the United States and the United Kingdom are subject to tax rates of approximately 39% and 20%, respectively.
Our effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was (2056.8)% and (12.1)%, respectively, on pre-tax income (loss) of $(37) thousand and $7,235, respectively. The effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2016 was lower than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to the net loss in the period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was lower than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to the release of reserves related to uncertain tax positions upon the expiration of a statute of limitation in Ireland, income being generated in a jurisdiction that has a lower tax rate than the Irish statutory rate and the Irish research and development tax credit.
Our effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was (4.4)% and 7.9%, respectively, on pre-tax income of $8.4 million and $28.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was lower than the statutory Irish rate of 12.5% primarily due to the release of various historical uncertain tax positions including interest and penalties in the third quarter and by research and development tax credits in Ireland. These decreases were partially offset by the recording of uncertain tax positions. The Company made a change to its organizational structure in the fourth quarter of 2014 that impacted the jurisdictional mix of profits and was beneficial to our income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Operating Activities
Operating activities provided $71.6 million and $69.1 million of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The cash flow provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 resulted primarily from our net income of $8.1 million, net non-cash charges of $75.6 million, and net uses of cash of $12.1 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Our non-cash charges primarily consisted of $40.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense, $27.6 million of share-based compensation expense, $3.9 million of provisions for accounts receivable allowances, $2.6 million for losses on disposal of property and equipment and other assets, $3.1 million of unrealized foreign currency transaction losses, and $1.6 million in excess tax benefits from share-based awards. Net uses of cash from changes in our operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $4.9 million increase in our accounts receivable from customers and a $10.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and
29
other assets, a $2.4 million decrease in accrued income taxes, and a $3.9 million decrease in deferred revenue, partially offset by a $9.7 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted from our increased spending due to the growth of our business. The decrease in our accrued taxes was due to net decreases in our tax reserves. The increase in our accounts receivable was due to the increase in subscription revenue resulting from the increased number of vehicles under subscription. The increase in our prepaid expenses and other assets was due to increases in deferred commission payments and additional prepaid software licenses purchased during the quarter.
Operating activities provided $69.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The cash flow provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulted primarily from our net income of $26.0 million, net non-cash charges of $53.9 million, and net uses of cash of $10.8 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Our non-cash charges primarily consisted of $30.6 million of depreciation and amortization expense, $17.0 million of share-based compensation expense, $2.5 million of provisions for accounts receivable allowances, $2.2 million for losses on disposal of property and equipment and other assets, $0.1 million for losses on extinguishment of debt, $2.2 million of unrealized foreign currency transaction gains, and $3.6 million of changes in excess tax benefits from share-based awards. Net uses of cash from changes in our operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of a $5.5 million increase in our accounts receivable from customers, a $9.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $1.2 million decrease in deferred revenue, partially offset by a $5.1 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and a $0.4 million increase in accrued income taxes. The increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses resulted from our increased spending due to the growth of our business. The increase in our accrued taxes was due to net increases in our tax reserves. The increase in our accounts receivable was due to the increase in subscription revenue resulting from the increased number of vehicles under subscription. The increase in our prepaid expenses and other assets was due to increases in deferred commission payments and additional prepaid software licenses purchased during the period. The decrease in deferred revenue reflects fewer customers prepaying for a portion of their subscription as well as the completion of installations during the period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $53.5 million and $43.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Net cashed used in investing activities consisted primarily of cash paid of $21.3 million to acquire Inosat as well as working capital adjustments pursuant to the Visirun and Ornicar purchase and sale agreements of $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and cash paid to acquire Ornicar of $7.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In addition, net cash used in investing activities consisted of cash paid to purchase property and equipment of $26.4 million and $32.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, as well as costs capitalized for internal-use software of $5.1 million and $3.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $35.0 million and $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consisted of payments of borrowings under the Credit Facility of $23.8 million, payments of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $11.6 million, payments of our capital lease obligations of $1.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares under stock option plans of $0.4 million and from excess tax benefits from share-based awards of $1.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 consisted of payments of borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility of $23.8 million, payments of borrowings under Credit Facility of $23.8 million, the payments of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $6.6 million, changes in excess tax benefits from share-based awards of $3.6 million, payments of our capital lease obligations of $1.0 million, and payments of notes payable of $0.4 million, partially offset by net proceeds from borrowings under our Credit Facility of $46.1 million and proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares under stock option plans of $2.4 million.
Indebtedness and Liquidity
We believe that our cash and borrowings available under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for further details on the Credit Facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities. We do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities, which include special purpose entities and other structured finance entities.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. Portions of our revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro, the British Pound Sterling, the Canadian Dollar, and the Australian Dollar with respect to revenues, expenses and intercompany payables and receivables. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Foreign currency transaction exposure results primarily from intercompany transactions and transactions with customers or vendors denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the legal entity in which the transaction is recorded by us. Assets and liabilities arising from such transactions are translated into the legal entity’s functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Any gain or loss resulting from currency fluctuations is recorded on a separate line in our consolidated statements of operations. Net foreign currency transaction losses of $3.1 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net foreign currency transaction gains of $2.0 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Foreign currency translation exposure results from the translation of the financial statements of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting purposes. The balance sheets of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using period-end exchange rates and their income statements are translated into U.S. Dollars using the average exchange rate over the period. Resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets. Net foreign currency translation gains of $2.8 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net foreign currency translation losses of $3.8 million were recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
As we pursue our growth strategy, which includes expanding our business internationally, more of our revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities will be subject to foreign currency translation into U.S. Dollars for consolidated reporting purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, approximately 13.9% of our revenues and approximately 25.5% of our operating expenses were generated by subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar and therefore are subject to foreign currency translation exposure. In addition, 29.4% of our assets and 33.1% of our liabilities were subject to foreign currency translation exposure as of September 30, 2016 as compared to 21.5% of our assets and 20.2% of our liabilities as of December 31, 2015.
Currently, our largest foreign currency exposures are those with respect to the Euro, the British Pound Sterling, and the Australian Dollar. Relative to foreign currency exposures existing at September 30, 2016, a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates would expose us to losses in earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we estimated that a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates would have decreased pre-tax income by $7.6 million. The estimates used assume that all currencies move in the same direction at the same time. The potential change noted above is based on a sensitivity analysis performed on our financial position as of September 30, 2016. We have experienced and we will continue to experience fluctuations in our net income (loss) as a result of revaluing our assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency of the entity that recorded the asset or liability. At this time, we do not hedge our foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk
As we only hold cash, our cash balances are not subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates with respect to our Credit Facility which bears interest at variable rates (based on our discretion) plus an applicable margin based on certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2016, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined inRules 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive notification alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. Except as noted below, the Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, in its opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its business or its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows should such litigation be resolved unfavorably. The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.
On October 27, 2015, Orthosie Systems, LLC filed a complaint against the Company (Orthosie Systems, LLC v. Fleetmatics USA, LLCet al., Civil Action No. 2:15-cv-1681) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,430,471 entitled “Method and System for Monitoring a Vehicle.” The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an injunction. On March 9, 2016, the Company filed its answer to the complaint and asserted counterclaims of noninfringement and invalidity. The parties have exchanged proposed claim constructions and a Markman hearing is currently scheduled for December 14, 2016. At this stage of the litigation, the Company is unable to estimate whether a loss is reasonably possible. While the Company does not believe that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows, the Company cannot be assured that this will be the case.
On August 30, 2016, Rothschild Digital Confirmation, LLC filed a complaint against the Company (Rothschild Digital Confirmation, LLC v. Fleetmatics USA, LLCet al., Civil Action No. 2:16-cv-00968) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of claims 1 and 27 of U.S. Patent No. 7,456,872 (“the ’872 patent”) entitled “Device and Method of Embedding and Retrieving Information in Digital Images.” The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an injunction. On October 4, 2016, Rothschild Digital Confirmation filed an amended complaint withdrawing claim 27 and asserting infringement of claim 1 only. The Company’s answer or response to the amended complaint is due on December 9, 2016. At this stage of the litigation, the Company is unable to estimate whether a loss is reasonably possible. While the Company does not believe that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows, the Company cannot be assured that this will be the case.
On January 12, 2016, David Gillard and Jaclyn Stramiello, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint against the Company (Gillardet al. v. Fleetmatics USA, LLC,et al., Civil Action No. 8:16-cv-81-T-27MAP) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida alleging the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries violated certain provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (the “FLSA”) by failing to pay overtime, among other things. On February 8, 2016, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which added another named party plaintiff, Troy Pate. On February 10, 2016 the Court struck the amended complaint and the plaintiffs filed their second amended complaint on February 12, 2016. The second amended complaint alleges essentially the same claims as previously alleged. The plaintiffs sought certification of the matter as a collective action under the FLSA. The FLSA permits an aggrieved person to recover as damages back pay, an equal amount of money as liquidated damages, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company filed its answer to the second amended complaint on March 11, 2016. On August 16, 2016, the parties executed a settlement agreement providing for an aggregate settlement amount of $2,102,250 consisting of the payment of $1,559,188 in back pay and liquidated damages to members of the class of business development representatives, or web sales representatives, in the Company’s U.S. offices, $17,500 in incentive fees for the named plaintiffs and one of the opt-in plaintiffs, and the Company’s agreement not to object to attorneys’ fees up to $525,562. The settlement agreement was subject to Court approval. On August 19, 2016, the parties filed a joint motion for Court approval of the settlement agreement and class certification. The Court denied the motion to approve the settlement agreement without prejudice, requested the removal of certain confidentiality provisions, and reserved ruling on the remainder of the motion pending the submission of the amended settlement agreement. On September 29, 2016, the parties jointly filed the amended settlement agreement for the same aggregate amount as set out in the August 16, 2016 settlement agreement and renewed their motion for approval. On November 4, 2016, the Court granted final approval of the settlement agreement, conditionally certified the matter as a collective action for purposes of settlement and dismissed the case with prejudice. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company must appoint an administrator for payout of claims to class members, and any amounts unclaimed by the class members at the end of the payout period provided in the settlement agreement will revert to the Company.

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include forward-looking statements that involve risks or uncertainties. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but are based on various assumptions by management regarding future circumstances many of which Fleetmatics has little or no control over. A number of important risks and uncertainties, including those identified under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual and subsequent filings as well as risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Except for the risk factor listed below, there were no material changes in our risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
The results of the United Kingdom’s referendum on withdrawal from the European Union may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business.
The announcement in June 2016 of the referendum of the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union (referred to as Brexit), advising for the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, could cause disruptions to and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers, suppliers and employees, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial results and operations. While the referendum was advisory, and the terms of any withdrawal are subject to a negotiation period that could last at least two years after the government of the United Kingdom formally initiates a withdrawal process, the referendum has created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, including with respect to the laws and regulations that will apply as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate in the event of a withdrawal. The referendum may also give rise to calls for the governments of other European Union member states to consider withdrawal. The announcement of Brexit may cause significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations which may adversely affect our financial results and cash flows.
