Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s final prospectus for its IPO dated as of March 23, 2021 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on March 24, 2021 (“Final Prospectus”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2021, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable and related reserves, useful lives and realizability of long lived assets, capitalized internal-use software development costs, assumptions used in the valuation of warrants, accounting for stock-based compensation, and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes deposits in financial institutions related to letters of credit used to secure lease agreements. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: March 31, 2021 2020 Cash and cash equivalents $ 560,053 $ 91,023 Restricted cash 2,226 2,415 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 562,279 $ 93,438 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable primarily represents revenue recognized that was not invoiced at the balance sheet date and is primarily billed and collected in the following month. Trade accounts receivable are carried at the original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts based on the probability of future collection. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical loss patterns, the number of days that customer invoices are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with specific accounts. When management becomes aware of circumstances that may further decrease the likelihood of collection, it records a specific allowance against amounts due, which reduces the receivable to the amount that management reasonably believes will be collected. The Company records changes in the estimate to the allowance for doubtful accounts through bad debt expense and reverses the allowance after the potential for recovery is considered remote. The following table presents the changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts for the period presented: Amount Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 3,104 Bad debt expense, net of recoveries 1,607 Write-offs (1,818) Balance as of March 31, 2021 $ 2,893 Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue was $4,920 and $4,873 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,725 and $1,444, respectively, which was included in each deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each respective period. Segment Information The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, reviews discrete financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of regularly making operating decisions, allocation of resources, and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has one operating and reporting segment. Geographical Information Revenue, as determined based on the billing address of the Company’s customers, was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 North America 38 % 37 % Europe 29 28 Asia 23 25 Other 10 10 Total 100 % 100 % Revenue derived from customers in the U.S. was approximately 31% and 30% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. No country outside of the U.S. had net revenue greater than 10% of total consolidated revenue in any period presented. Property and equipment located in the U.S. was approximately 47% and 48% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, with the remainder of net assets residing in international locations, primarily in the Netherlands, Singapore and Germany. Concentration of Credit Risk The amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and trade accounts receivable are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. Although the Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with multiple financial institutions, the deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes that the financial institutions that hold its cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances. The Company’s customer base consists of a significant number of geographically dispersed customers. No customer represented 10% or more of accounts receivable, net as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Additionally, no customer accounted for 10% of more of total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Pending Adoption The following effective dates represent the requirements for private companies which the Company has elected as an emerging growth company. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and additional changes, modifications, clarifications, or interpretations related to this guidance thereafter (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires a reporting entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for operating leases to increase transparency and comparability. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company will record a right of use asset and liability, and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, with subsequent amendments, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions in FASB Topic 740: Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.
