Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as a variable interest entity in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. See the variable interest entity section below and Note 3 "Variable Interest Entity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest" for additional information regarding the Company’s variable interest entity. The Company is subject to the normal risks associated with technology companies that have not demonstrated sustainable income from operations, including product development, the risk of customer acceptance and market penetration of its products and services and, ultimately, the need to attain profitability to generate positive cash resources. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal 2022 or any future period. In March 2021, a Certificate of Amendment was filed with the state of Delaware for Visible Equity, LLC ("Visible Equity"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to change its name to nCino Portfolio Analytics, LLC. The state of Delaware effected the name change in April 2021. Effective February 1, 2021, the Company adopted the requirement of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) using the alternative transition method. Under this method, the Company is not required to restate or disclose the effects of applying this ASU for comparative periods. See the Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance section for the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Variable Interest Entity: The Company holds an interest in a Japanese company (“nCino K.K.”) that is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE"). nCino K.K. is considered a VIE as it has insufficient equity capital to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company is the primary beneficiary of nCino K.K. as it has the power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of nCino K.K. and has the obligation to absorb expected losses and the right to receive expected benefits that could be significant to nCino K.K., in accordance with accounting guidance. As a result, the Company consolidated nCino K.K. and all significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated. The Company will continue to assess whether it has a controlling financial interest and whether it is the primary beneficiary at each reporting period. Other than the Company’s equity investment, the Company has not provided financial or other support to nCino K.K. that it was not contractually obligated to provide. The assets of the VIE can only be used to settle the obligations of the VIE and the creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements except for cash which is reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 3 "Variable Interest Entity and Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest" for additional information regarding the Company’s variable interest. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest: Redeemable non-controlling interest relates to minority investors of nCino K.K. An agreement with the minority investors of nCino K.K. contains redemption features whereby the interest held by the minority investors are redeemable either at the option of the (i) minority investors or (ii) the Company, both beginning on the eighth anniversary of the initial capital contribution. If the interest of the minority investors were to be redeemed under this agreement, the Company would be required to redeem the interest based on a prescribed formula derived from the relative revenues of nCino K.K. and the Company. The balance of the redeemable non-controlling interest is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the redeemable non-controlling interest’s share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its estimated redemption value. The resulting changes in the estimated redemption amount (increases or decreases) are recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital. These interests are presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets outside of equity under the caption “Redeemable non-controlling interest.” Use of Estimates: The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by the Company’s management are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition including determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, variable consideration, stand-alone selling price, and other revenue items requiring significant judgement; the average period of benefit associated with costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts; fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations; the useful lives of intangible assets; the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; redemption value of redeemable non-controlling interest and stock-based compensation. The Company assesses these estimates on a regular basis using historical experience and other factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers: The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents exceeded the Federal deposit insurance limit at January 31, 2021 and October 31, 2021. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash with high-credit-quality financial institutions. As of January 31, 2021, no individual customer represented more than 10% of accounts receivable and, as of October 31, 2021, one customer represented 34% of accounts receivable. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2021, no individual customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues. Restricted Cash: Restricted cash consists of deposits held as collateral for the Company's bank guarantees issued in place of security deposits for certain property leases. Accounts Receivable and Allowances: A receivable is recorded when an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment exists, such that only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Certain performance obligations may require payment before delivery of the service to the customer. We recognize a contract asset in the form of accounts receivable when we have an unconditional right to payment, and we record a contract asset in the form of unbilled accounts receivable when revenues earned on a contract exceeds the billings. The Company’s standard billing terms are annual in advance. An unbilled accounts receivable is a contract asset related to the delivery of the Company’s subscription services and professional services for which the related billings will occur in a future period. Unbilled accounts receivable consists of (i) revenues recognized for professional services performed but not yet billed and (ii) revenues recognized from non-cancelable, multi-year orders in which fees increase annually but for which we are not contractually able to invoice until a future period. Accounts receivable are reported at their gross outstanding balance reduced by an allowance for estimated receivable losses, which includes allowances for doubtful accounts and a reserve for expected credit losses. The Company records allowances for doubtful accounts based upon the credit worthiness of customers, historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable, current market and economic conditions, and supportable forecasts about the future. Relevant risk characteristics include customer size and historical loss patterns. See the Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance section for the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. A summary of activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows: Three Months Ended October 31, Nine Months Ended October 31, 2020 2021 2020 2021 Balance, beginning of period $ 622 $ 59 $ — $ 88 Charged to (recovery of) bad debt expense (277) 89 342 84 Other — — — (24) Translation adjustments (3) 3 — 3 Balance, end of period $ 342 $ 151 $ 342 $ 151 Leases: The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception date based on whether there is an identified asset and whether the Company controls the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Company determines the classification of the lease, whether operating or financing, at the lease commencement date, which is the date the leased assets are made available for use. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for its facilities and equipment leases. The Company did not have any finance leases as of October 31, 2021. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease term reflects the noncancelable period of the lease together with options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Variable costs, such as common area maintenance costs, are not included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities, but are expensed as incurred. The Company's leases do not generally provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lease expense for such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard will affect all entities that lease assets and will require lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (except for short-term leases that have a duration of less than one year) as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. ASU 2016-02, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. If the Company were to cease meeting the emerging growth company criteria during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, the Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021. The Company used the alternative transition method in which the Company is not required to restate or disclose the effects of applying this ASU for comparative periods. The Company elected the package of practical expedients which permits the Company to not reassess prior conclusions pertaining to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. In addition, the Company elected ongoing practical expedients including the option to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases (leases with an original term of twelve months or less). The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for our facilities and equipment leases. The adoption of this ASU resulted in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets of $10.5 million and lease liabilities of $12.2 million, and the derecognition of deferred rent on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet on February 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not impact the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss or the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Upon the adoption of this ASU there was no change to the accounting for the Company's financing obligation. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. If the Company were to cease meeting the emerging growth company criteria during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, the Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU, which impacted the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts, did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If the Company were to cease meeting the emerging growth company criteria during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, the Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements . The guidance includes amendments to improve the codification by ensuring that all guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to the financial statements is codified in the disclosure section of the codification and to clarify guidance so that entities can apply guidance more consistently on codifications that are varied in nature where the original guidance may have been unclear. ASU 2020-10 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. If the Company were to cease meeting the emerging growth company criteria during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, this ASU would be effective for the Company for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. Since the Company will cease to qualify as an emerging growth company as of January 31, 2022, the Company adopted this ASU effective February 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers . The standard addresses diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning |
