Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES OVERVIEW IBEX Limited (“IBEX” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “ibex,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated on February 28, 2017 in Hamilton, Bermuda. Our registered office in Bermuda is Crawford House, 50 Cedar Avenue, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda. We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq, with The Resource Group International Limited (“TRGI”) being our controlling shareholder. TRG Pakistan Limited holds a controlling interest in TRGI. On August 7, 2020, the Company was admitted to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “IBEX.” The Company is an end-to-end provider of technology-enabled customer lifecycle experience (“CLX”) solutions. Through the Company’s integrated CLX platform, a comprehensive portfolio of solutions is offered to optimize customer acquisition, engagement, expansion and experience for clients. The Company leverages sophisticated technology and proprietary analytics, in combination with its global footprint and business process outsourcing expertise, to protect and enhance clients’ brands. The Company manages nearly 176 million interactions each year with consumers on behalf of clients through an omni-channel approach, using voice, web, chat and email. Our services cover three main areas: • ibex Connect: Our Connect business lies at the core of our offerings and generates the majority of the Company’s revenue. This business unit delivers differentiated customer service (assisting our clients’ customers with information about our clients and their products or services), technical support (providing specialized teams to provide information, assistance and technical guidance to our clients’ customers on a specific product or service), revenue generation (upselling and cross selling) and other value-added outsourced back office services (finance and accounting, marketing support, sales operations, and human resources administration) to our clients. We deploy these capabilities through a true omni-channel CX model, which integrates voice, email, chat, SMS, social media and other communication applications. • ibex Digital: Our ibex Digital suite of solutions works with consumer-facing businesses to help them build, grow and scale technology-driven customer acquisition solutions, while helping drive digital transformation. We offer digital marketing, e-commerce technology, and platform solutions for our clients, helping them build new customer acquisition channels, increase acquired customers, and often do both at a reduced cost. • ibex CX: Our CX business measures, monitors and manages our clients’ holistic customer experiences. By offering a 360-degree CX approach, our clients can harness the power of data and customer feedback to differentiate themselves within today’s “customer expectation economy.” We enable our clients to improve retention of their customers, identify and manage service issues in real time, predict future behavior and outcomes, derive impact analysis scenarios and assign “action plans” throughout the enterprise. Operating segments An operating segment is defined as a component of a company for which separate financial information is available and which is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer (“CEO”). The Company’s CODM reviews consolidated financial results to make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance. Therefore, the Company has determined that it operates in a single operating and reportable segment. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation Historically, the Company qualified as a foreign private issuer and prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Effective July 1, 2023, the Company no longer qualifies as a foreign private issuer as defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act and Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act and therefore has become a domestic filer and must file this Form 10-Q pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, and include the financial results of all wholly-owned subsidiaries. When the Company does not have majority ownership in an entity but exerts significant influence over that entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of September 30, 2023 and its results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, was derived from audited annual financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (the “Annual Report”) as filed with the SEC. These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include useful lives for property and equipment; impairment of long-lived assets, operating lease assets and liabilities, goodwill, and other intangible assets; allowance for credit losses; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and other receivables; fair value of share-based compensation, warrants, and derivatives, and legal provisions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes are reasonable, including the use of outside experts as necessary, and updates these estimates on an ongoing basis and as new events occur, more experience is acquired and/or more information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Concentration of credit risk The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable and derivative instruments. Historically, the losses related to credit risk have been immaterial. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk to mitigate losses. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its clients prior to and throughout the life of the client relationship. The Company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its derivative instruments as all of its counterparties are investment-grade financial institutions. Leases The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases . Operating leases are included in operating lease assets and current and non-current lease liabilities, and assets leased under finance leases are included in property and equipment and current and non-current debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in cost of services or selling, general and administrative expense, as applicable. Interest on finance leases is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Share-based compensation plans The Company accounts for its share-based awards in accordance with provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation . The Company calculates the fair value of option awards using the Black-Scholes model. For equity-classified awards, total compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value. For liability-classified awards, total compensation cost is based on the fair value of the award on the date the award is granted and is subsequently re-measured at each reporting date until settlement. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense over the requisite vesting period using a graded vesting model. Awards to employees and directors may contain service, performance and/or market vesting conditions. For unvested awards with performance conditions, the Company assesses the probability of attaining the performance conditions at each reporting period. Awards that are deemed probable of attainment are recognized in expense over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Share repurchase programs The board of directors may authorize share repurchases of the Company’s common shares. Purchases made pursuant to these authorizations may be carried out through open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on the market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, at times and in such amounts as the Company deems appropriate. Shares repurchased under such authorizations are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under various employee share-based award plans. When Company shares are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid (including directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects) is recognized as a deduction of additional paid in capital. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the amount received is recognized as an increase in additional paid in capital, and any resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is reclassified to accumulated deficit. Cloud Computing Software Implementation Costs The Company incurs costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by a third-party vendor. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-40, Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software, for cloud computing arrangements that meet the definition of a service contract, the Company capitalizes qualifying implementation costs incurred during the application development stage as a component of prepaid expenses or other non-current assets. Capitalized costs are primarily comprised of third-party consulting fees, direct labor, and related expenses. Capitalization of these costs concludes once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for the Company's intended use. Once available for its intended use, the capitalized costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated hosting arrangement including periods covered by an option to extend, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Costs related to data conversion, overhead, general and administrative activities, and training are expensed as incurred. Post-configuration training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalized $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. There were no costs capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Emerging Growth Company The Company currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Accordingly, the Company has the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we choose to opt out of the extended transition period affirmatively and irrevocably. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provided optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendment allows entities to elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company adopted the new guidance during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 and the adoption had no effect on the financial statements or related disclosures during the year. |
