Basis of presentation and description of business
Basis of presentation and description of business	Note 1. Basis of presentation and description of business Description of business Jamf Holding Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively, are referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.” We are the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, and our cloud software platform is the only vertically‑focused Apple infrastructure and security platform of scale in the world. We help organizations connect, manage and protect Apple products, apps and corporate resources in the cloud without ever having to touch the devices. With our products, Apple devices can be deployed to employees brand new in the shrink‑wrapped box, automatically set up and personalized at first power‑on and continuously administered throughout the life of the device. Our customers are located throughout the world. Initial public offering On July 24, 2020, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) through which it issued and sold 13,500,000 shares of common stock at a price per share to the public of $26.00 (the “IPO Price”). In connection with the IPO, the Company raised approximately $319.0 million after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions of $24.7 million and offering expenses of $7.3 million . Upon completion of the IPO, authorized capital stock consisted of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Concurrently with the Company’s IPO, the Company issued and sold 85,880 shares of its common stock in a private placement to certain of its named executive officers, certain of its other employees and its independent directors at the IPO Price for aggregate consideration of approximately $2.2 million. Upon closing of the IPO, the Company repaid $205.0 million of the principal amount of its then existing Term Loan Facility (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”) and paid $3.4 million of accrued interest and $2.0 million of prepayment penalty. The Company also wrote off $3.2 million of remaining debt issuance costs upon repayment of the debt. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $5.2 million for the prepayment penalty and write off of debt issuance costs in the third quarter of 2020. Vista Equity Partners acquisition On November 13, 2017, Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”) acquired a majority share of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the purchase price of $733.8 million (the “Vista Acquisition”). As of September 30, 2020, funds controlled by Vista own approximately 72.9% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” under NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) corporate governance rules. Emerging growth company status We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it is (i) no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We will remain an emerging growth company for the first five fiscal years after the completion of our IPO, unless one of the following occurs: (i) our total annual gross revenue is at least $1.07 billion, (ii) we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non‑convertible debt securities during the prior three‑year period, or (iii) we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non‑affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30. Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, the consolidated statements of operations and of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future period. Subsequent events The Company evaluated events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. No subsequent events or transactions were identified. Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future and include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, stock‑based compensation, commissions, goodwill and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment and Geographic Information Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. We operate our business as one operating segment and therefore we have one reportable segment. Revenue by geographic region as determined based on the end user customer address was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) Revenue: The Americas $ 54,631 $ 42,459 $ 149,806 $ 112,980 Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa 11,754 9,313 32,483 25,972 Asia Pacific 4,019 2,796 10,736 8,054 $ 70,404 $ 54,568 $ 193,025 $ 147,006	Note 1.

Vista Equity Partners acquisition On November 13, 2017, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Juno Intermediate, Inc. (“Juno Intermediate”), Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and JAMF Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”) acquired a majority share of all the issued and outstanding shares of Holdings at the purchase price of $733.8 million (the “Vista Acquisition”). Merger Sub was absorbed into Holdings as part of the acquisition and Juno Intermediate survived and was considered the accounting acquirer. The Company accounted for the Vista Acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.

Summary of significant accounting policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our final prospectus (the “IPO Prospectus”) dated as of July 21, 2020 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The following describes the impact of certain policies. Stock split On July 10, 2020, the Company effected a 110-for-1 stock split of its common stock. The par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retrospectively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split. Deferred offering costs Offering costs are capitalized and consist of fees incurred in connection with the sale of common stock in our IPO and include legal, accounting, printing, and other IPO‑related costs. The balance of deferred offering costs included within other current assets as of December 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $1.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of deferred offering costs. Upon completion of our IPO, the total amount of $7.3 million of deferred offering costs was reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. Therefore, we had no deferred offering costs included within other current assets as of September 30, 2020. Share‑based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in its accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock‑based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. All service‑based options outstanding under the Company’s option plans have exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of these service options is determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of service‑based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. All awards expire after 10 years. There were no service option grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Compensation cost for restricted stock units is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Stock‑based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company also grants performance‑based awards to certain executives that vest and become exercisable when Vista’s realized cash return on its investment in the Company equals or exceeds $1.515 billion upon a change in control of the Company (“Termination Event”). The terms of the agreement do not specify a performance period for the occurrence of the Termination Event. The contractual term of the awards is 10 years. These options are also referred to as return target options. The Company uses a Modified Black‑Scholes option pricing model which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurement. In conjunction with the IPO, the vesting conditions of the performance-based awards were modified to also vest following an IPO and registration and sale of shares by Vista provided that Vista achieves a cash return on its equity investment in the Company equaling or exceeding $1.515 billion. In accordance with ASC 718, we calculated the fair value of these options on the modification date. The value of these options on the date of modification was $33.0 million as of June 30, 2020. As the awards are not currently considered probable of meeting vesting requirements no expense has been recognized, and the timing of any future expense recognition is unknown. Revenue recognition The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and follows a five-step model to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company separates revenue into recurring and non‑recurring categories to disaggregate those revenues that are one‑time in nature from those that are term‑based and renewable. Revenue from recurring and non‑recurring contractual arrangements are as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) SaaS subscription and support and maintenance $ 57,933 $ 41,916 $ 160,989 $ 112,872 On‑premise subscription 7,849 5,135 18,159 12,224 Recurring revenue 65,782 47,051 179,148 125,096 Perpetual licenses 1,017 2,283 3,811 7,381 Professional services 3,605 5,234 10,066 14,529 Non‑recurring revenue 4,622 7,517 13,877 21,910 Total revenue $ 70,404 $ 54,568 $ 193,025 $ 147,006 Contract Balances Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance and services in advance. Changes in contract liabilities, including revenue earned during the period from the beginning contract liability balance and new deferrals of revenue during the period, were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) Balance, beginning of the period $ 157,738 $ 117,919 $ 140,710 $ 100,662 Revenue earned (50,038) (39,261) (147,324) (116,145) Deferral of revenue 80,538 54,651 194,852 148,792 Balance, end of the period $ 188,238 $ 133,309 $ 188,238 $ 133,309 There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 outside of our sales activities. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancelable amounts to be invoiced. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $199.1 million and $149.5 million, respectively, of remaining performance obligations, with 82% and 86%, respectively, expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Sales commissions as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs on the consolidated balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. Total amortization of contract costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Total amortization of contract costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $6.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had two distributors that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to these distributors were $15.2 million at September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one distributor that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to this distributor were $6.0 million at December 31, 2019. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019‑10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative‑effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations related to their leasing arrangements. The update requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, with the exception of short-term leases if a policy election is made, while recognizing lease expense on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also requires entities to disclose key quantitative and qualitative information about its leasing arrangements. The Company expects to adopt the new lease standard on January 1, 2021 using the optional transition method to the modified retrospective approach. The Company has formed an implementation team, commenced identification of our lease population, and selected new software to manage the lease portfolio and perform the accounting required under the new lease standard. The Company is still assessing the impact of adoption of the new lease standard on the consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides entities with temporary optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020‑04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019‑12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted the standard in the third quarter of 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement — Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018‑13”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASU 2018‑13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date of ASU 2018-13 is the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018‑15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal‑use software under ASC Subtopic 350‑40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any of these arrangements. Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), with an intent to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share‑based payments issued to nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018‑07 provide for the simplification of the measurement of share‑based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share‑based payment transactions are significantly different. This standard expands the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include share‑based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services, aligning the accounting for share‑based payments to nonemployees and employees. ASU 2018‑07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any nonemployee share‑based payment awards.	Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Net Loss per Share of Common Stock Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per common share calculation, restricted stock units and stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. Because we have reported a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share for those periods because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the calculation. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers any highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Trade receivables, net Credit is extended to customers in the normal course of business, generally with 30-day payment terms. Receivables are recorded at net realizable value, which includes allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company reviews the collectability of trade receivables on an ongoing basis. The Company reserves for trade receivables determined to be uncollectible. This determination is based on the delinquency of the account, the financial condition of the customer, and the Company’s collection experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.2 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had one distributor that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to this distributor were $6.0 million and $7.8 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Activity related to our allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of period $ 60 $ 60 Bad-debt expense 279 37 Accounts written off (139) (37) Balance, end of period $ 200 $ 60 Equipment and leasehold improvements, net Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. These lives range from 3 to 5 years for computers and server equipment, 3 years for software, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, and the lower of lease term or useful life on leasehold improvements. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which requires that long-lived assets and finite-lived identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires goodwill to be either qualitatively or quantitatively assessed for impairment annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for each reporting unit. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company performs its impairment testing of goodwill at least annually and more frequently if events occur that would indicate that it is more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is less than carrying value. If the Company’s reporting unit carrying amount exceeds its fair value an impairment charge will be recorded based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill currently recognized in the Company’s single reporting unit. The Company performed the annual assessment as of October 1, 2019 and no impairment was identified. Other intangibles, net Other intangible assets, including customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks acquired in our previous acquisitions, have definite lives and are amortized over a period ranging from 1 to 12 years on a straight-line basis. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Debt issuance costs Costs of debt financing are charged to expense over the lives of the related financing agreements. Remaining costs and the future period over which they would be charged to expense are reassessed when amendments to the related financing agreements or prepayments occur. Debt issuance costs for the Company's term loan are recognized as an offset to the Company's debt liability and are amortized using the effective-interest method. Debt issuance costs for the Company's revolving line of credit are recognized within other non-current assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis. Deferred offering costs Deferred offering costs are capitalized and consist of fees incurred in connection with the anticipated sale of common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”) and include legal, accounting, printing, and other IPO-related costs. Upon completion of an IPO, these deferred costs will be reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. In the event an IPO is terminated, the deferred offering costs would be expensed in the period of termination as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The balance of deferred offering costs included within other current assets at December 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had not incurred such costs. Foreign currency remeasurement Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of all our international operations is the U.S. dollar. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company’s foreign operations are remeasured in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Remeasurement adjustments are recorded as foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized a foreign currency loss of $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Stock‑based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in its accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock‑based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. All service‑based options outstanding under the Company’s option plans have exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of these service options is determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of service‑based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. All awards expire after 10 years. The fair value of each grant of service options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires judgment to determine. Expected Term — The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to be outstanding. For time-based awards, the estimated expected term of options granted is generally calculated as the vesting period plus the midpoint of the remaining contractual term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations surrounding future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected Volatility — The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for its common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available. Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury instruments with terms that were consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. Expected Dividend — The expected dividend assumption was based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Fair Value of Common Stock — The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options has historically been the responsibility of and determined by the Company’s board of directors. Because there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock, the board of directors has used independent third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock, operating and financial performance, and general and industry-specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Expected life of options 6.25 years 6.25 years Expected volatility 45.1 % – 45.3 % 44.8 % – 46.6% Risk-free interest rates 1.6 % – 1.7 % 2.5 % – 2.8% Expected dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ 7.29 $ 2.69 Compensation cost for restricted stock units is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company also grants performance-based awards to certain executives that vest and become exercisable when Vista’s realized cash return on its investment in the Company equals or exceeds $1.515 billion upon a change in control of the Company (“Termination Event”). The terms of the agreement do not specify a performance period for the occurrence of the Termination Event. The contractual term of the awards is 10 years. These options are also referred to as return target options. Since the performance condition relates to a Termination Event, and as a change of control cannot be probable until it occurs, no compensation expense will be recorded until a Termination Event. In 2018, as there is also a market condition with these options based on a return on equity target, the fair value of the awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. In 2019, the Company used a Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurement which would yield similar results to the Monte Carlo simulation and simplify the process. Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Expected life of options 3 - 3.25 years 4.50 years Expected volatility 50 % – 55 % 55 % Risk-free interest rates 1.49 % – 1.67 % 2.7 % Expected dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ 6.02 $ 1.91 Income taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We use a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Revenue recognition The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model as follows: · Identify the contract with a customer · Identify the performance obligations in the contract · Determine the transaction price · Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract · Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of SaaS subscriptions, support and maintenance contracts, software licenses, and related professional services. The Company’s products and services are marketed and sold directly, as well as indirectly through third-party resellers, to the end-user. The Company assesses the contract term as the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations. The contract term can differ from the stated term in contracts with certain termination or renewal rights, depending on whether there are substantive penalties associated with those rights. Customer contracts are generally standardized and non-cancelable for the duration of the stated contract term. Nature of Products and Services Subscription: Subscription includes SaaS subscription arrangements which include a promise to allow customers to access software hosted by the Company over the contract period, without allowing the customer to take possession of the software or transfer hosting to a third party. Subscription also includes support and maintenance, which includes when-and-if available software updates and technical support on our perpetual and on-premise subscription licenses. Because the subscription represents a stand-ready obligation to provide a series of distinct periods of access to the subscription, which are all substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, subscriptions are accounted for as a series and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, beginning at the point when the customer is able to use and benefit from the subscription. Services: Services, including training, are often sold as part of new software license or subscription contracts. These services are fulfilled by the Company and with the use of other vendors and do not significantly modify, integrate or otherwise depend on other performance obligations included in the contracts. Services are generally performed over a one- to two-day period and, when sold as part of new software license or subscription contracts, at or near the outset of the related contract. When other vendors participate in the provisioning of the services, the Company recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis as the Company is the principal in these arrangements. Revenue related to services is recognized, as the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled. Related fulfillment costs are recognized as incurred. License: Licenses include sales of perpetual and on-premise subscription arrangements. Licenses for on-premise software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Revenue from software licenses is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which is typically upon making the software available to the customer. Certain contracts may include explicit options to renew maintenance at a stated price. These options are generally priced in line with the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) and therefore do not provide a material right to the customer. If the option provides a material right to the customer, then the material right is accounted for as a separate performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue when those future goods or services underlying the option are transferred or when the option expires. Significant Judgments When the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, the contract transaction price is allocated on a relative SSP basis to each performance obligation. The Company typically determines SSP based on observable selling prices of its products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as with software licenses that are never sold on a stand-alone basis, SSP is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. SSP is typically established as ranges and the Company typically has more than one SSP range for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer class, channel type, and purchase quantity, among other circumstances. Transaction Price The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to the customer. Revenue from sales is recorded based on the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price is constrained and is included only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company’s contracts with customers may include service level agreements, which entitle the customer to receive service credits, and in certain cases, service refunds, when defined service levels are not met. These arrangements represent a form of variable consideration, which is included in the calculation of the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the expected value based on its assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance and a review of specific transactions, historical experience, and market and economic conditions. The Company has historically not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined levels of reliability and performance as required by the contracts and therefore, the related amounts are not constrained. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company separates revenue into recurring and non‑recurring categories to disaggregate those revenues that are one‑time in nature from those that are term‑based and renewable. Revenue from recurring and non‑recurring contractual arrangements are as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000's) 2019 2018 SaaS subscription and support and maintenance $ 159,111 $ 100,350 On‑premise subscription 16,078 12,690 Recurring revenue 175,189 113,040 Perpetual licenses 9,830 13,316 Professional services 19,008 20,206 Non‑recurring revenue 28,838 33,522 Total revenue $ 204,027 $ 146,562 Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may not align with the right to invoice the customer. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to issue an invoice and receive payment regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. For multiyear agreements, the Company will either invoice the customer in full at the inception of the contract or annually at the beginning of each annual period. If revenue has not yet been recognized, then a contract liability (deferred revenue) is also recorded. Deferred revenue classified as current on the consolidated balance sheet is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year. Non-current deferred revenue will be fully recognized within five years. If revenue is recognized in advance of the right to invoice, a contract asset is recorded. Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance and services in advance. Changes in contract liabilities were as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000's) 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of the period $ 100,662 $ 68,048 Revenue earned (86,220) (54,955) Deferral of revenue 126,268 87,569 Balance, end of the period $ 140,710 $ 100,662 There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 outside of our sales activities. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of the right to invoice, the Company has determined that a significant financing component generally does not exist. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the products and services and not to receive financing from or provide financing to the customer. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity not to recognize a significant financing component if the time between the transfer of a good or service and payment is one year or less. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30-days. The Company does not offer rights of return for its products and services in the normal course of business and contracts generally do not include customer acceptance clauses. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancelable amounts to be invoiced. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $149.5 million of remaining performance obligations, with 86% expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Sales commissions as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs on the consolidated balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense contract costs as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include the portion of the commissions that are expensed in the current period versus the portion of the commissions that are recognized over the expected period of benefit, which often extends beyond the contract term as we do not pay a commission upon renewal of the service contracts. Contract costs are allocated to each performance obligation within the contract and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period of the related performance obligations. Contract costs are amortized as a component of sales and marketing expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. We have determined that the expected period of benefit is five years based on evaluation of a number of factors, including customer attrition rates, weighted average useful lives of our customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets, and market factors, including overall competitive environment and technology life of competitors. Total amortization of contract costs for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Software development costs Costs related to research, design and development of software products prior to establishment of technological feasibility are charged to software development expense as incurred. Software development costs, if material, are capitalized, beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established using the working model approach and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no software development costs were capitalized, because the time period and costs incurred between technological feasibility and general release for all software product releases were insignificant. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, total research and development costs were $42.8 million and $31.5 million, respectively. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and presented within selling and marketing within the consolidated statement of operations. Advertising costs were $8.7 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense, net For the year ended December 31, 2019, interest expense from debt financing of $21.9 million is offset by interest income from cash investments of $0.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2018, interest expense from debt financing of $18.7 million is offset by interest income from cash investments of $0.5 million. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019‑10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative‑effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement — Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018‑13”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASU 2018‑13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption permitted until fiscal year 2021 for the new disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2018‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02. The update requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets while recognizing expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also eliminates current real estate‑specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales‑type and direct financing leases. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities . The update defers the initial effective date of ASU 2016-02 by one year for private companies and private not-for-profits. For these entities the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, and the modified retrospective method is to be applied. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions. Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019‑12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The method of adoption varies for the provisions in the update. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides entities with temporary optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020‑04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018‑15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal‑use software under ASC Subtopic 350‑40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as the Company does not have any of these arrangements. Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), with an intent to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share‑based payments issued to nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018‑07 provide for the si

Financial instruments fair value	Note 3. Financial instruments fair value We report financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market‑based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1: Fair value is determined using an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value. The fair value of our debt as of December 31, 2019 was $203.1 million (Level 2). The carrying value of our debt as of December 31, 2019 was $205.0 million. The fair value of our debt was determined using discounted cash flow analysis based on market rates for similar types of borrowings. Upon closing of the IPO, we repaid the principal amount of our outstanding debt and had no debt outstanding as of September 30, 2020.	Note 3.

Acquisitions	Note 4. Acquisitions ZuluDesk B.V. On February 1, 2019, the Company purchased all of the outstanding membership units of ZuluDesk B.V. (“ZuluDesk”) whose products are designed to offer a cost‑effective mobile device management system for today’s modern digital classroom. ZuluDesk’s software complement the Company’s existing product offerings. The Company accounted for the acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The final aggregate purchase price was approximately $38.6 million. This acquisition was funded by term debt, and borrowings under a revolving line of credit. The goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable assets. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition is primarily attributable to the offerings in mobile device management of ZuluDesk and its assembled workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of the separately identifiable intangible assets acquired, consisting of trademarks, customer relationships and developed technology, was estimated by applying an income approach. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. Indications of value are developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market‑based rates of return. The weighted‑average economic life of the intangible assets acquired is 7.0 years. For more details on the intangible assets, see Note 5. Acquisition‑related expenses were expensed as incurred and totaled nil and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These expenses were recognized as acquisition costs in general and administrative expenses. ZuluDesk contributed revenue and net income of $1.4 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the effects of the acquisition and integration costs. ZuluDesk contributed revenue and net loss of $2.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the effects of the acquisition and integration costs. The Company used borrowings under the Prior Term Loan Facility to complete the acquisition. The Prior Term Loan Facility provided for borrowings of $175.0 million with a maturity date of November 13, 2022 under the Company’s secured credit agreement entered into November 13, 2017 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), which was increased to $205.0 million on January 30, 2019 when the Company entered into that certain Amendment Agreement No. 1 to such Prior Credit Agreement and approximately $0.5 million of debt issuances costs were capitalized as a reduction in Debt on the balance sheet in connection with such increase. The Company allocated the net purchase consideration to the net assets acquired, including finite‑lived intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the time of the acquisition as follows (in thousands): Assets acquired: Cash $ 3,325 Other current assets 1,306 Long‑term assets 154 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (419) Deferred revenue (3,050) Deferred tax liability (2,996) Intangible assets acquired 12,310 Goodwill 28,000 Total purchase consideration $ 38,630 Digita Security LLC On July 26, 2019, the Company purchased all of the outstanding membership interests of Digita Security LLC (“Digita”). With this acquisition, Digita’s acquired technology complements the Company’s existing Apple management, authentication and account management solutions with a security offering to provide a more robust suite of capabilities and service offerings in the Apple enterprise market. The Company accounted for the acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The acquisition aggregate purchase consideration totaled $14.4 million which included contingent purchase consideration with an estimated fair value of $9.0 million and the remainder provided for with cash. Acquisition‑related expenses were expensed as incurred. Goodwill in the amount of $1.7 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The maximum contingent consideration is $15.0 million if the acquired business achieves certain revenue milestones by December 31, 2022. The estimated fair value of these contingent payments is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurements, including assumptions about probability of growth of subscription services and the related pricing of the services offered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the fair value of the contingent consideration was increased by $0.6 million and decreased by $3.1 million, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflects updated assumptions about probability of growth of subscription services. The adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflects updated assumptions about the probability of change in control in light of our IPO, as well as updated assumptions about probability of growth of subscription services. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $6.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the terms of the purchase agreement provide for additional future payments to the Digita shareholders in the amount of up to $5.0 million if certain key employees continue their employment with the Company through December 31, 2020, which is recognized as a compensation expense in our consolidated statement of operations. The Company recognized as expense $0.9 million and $4.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The fair value of the acquired developed technology was estimated by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market‑based rates of return (income approach). The estimated useful life of the acquired developed technology is estimated to be 5 years. For more details on the Company’s intangible assets, see Note 5. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition were not presented as the effects were not material to our financial results. The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands): Assets acquired: Cash $ 512 Other current assets 1 Long‑term assets 12 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (119) Intangible assets acquired 3,300 Goodwill 10,673 Total purchase consideration $ 14,379	Note 5.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Note 6. Debt See Note 1 for information on the early extinguishment of debt upon closing of the IPO. On July 27, 2020, the Company entered into a new secured credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) for an initial revolving credit facility of $150.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be increased or decreased under specific circumstances, with a $25.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a $50.0 million alternative currency sublimit. In addition, the New Credit Agreement provides for the ability of the Company to request incremental term loan facilities, in a minimum amount of $5.0 million for each facility. The maturity date of the New Credit Agreement is July 27, 2025. The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, reporting obligations, negative covenants and events of default. We were in compliance with such covenants at September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had $1.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under our New Revolving Credit Facility. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $1.3 million, which is amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, debt issuance costs of $1.2 million are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The interest rates applicable to revolving borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are, at the Company’s option, either (i) a base rate, which is equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (subject to a floor) for a one month interest period (each term as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 1%, or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (subject to a floor) equal to the LIBO Rate for the applicable interest period multiplied by the Statutory Reserve Rate, plus in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate (i) for base rate loans range from 0.25% to 1.0% per annum and (ii) for LIBO Rate loans range from 1.25% to 2.0% per annum, in each case, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the New Credit Agreement). Base rate borrowings may only be made in dollars. The Company pays a commitment fee during the term of the New Credit Agreement ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum of the average daily undrawn portion of the revolving commitments based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio.	Note 8. Debt On November 13, 2017, the Company entered into a new secured Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provided an initial term loan facility (“Term Loan”) of $175 million with a maturity date of November 13, 2022 and a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) of $15 million with a maturity date of November 13, 2022. The interest rate for the Term Loan was determined using a base rate of 8% per annum plus the Eurodollar Borrowing Rate (“contract rate”). The Eurodollar Borrowing Rate was re-elected each quarter based on the current rate at that point in time. On January 30, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amended Credit Agreement which increased the Term Loan to $205 million. The Amended Credit Agreement provided for additional funding for the ZuluDesk acquisition. On April 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amended Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”), which adjusted the rate for both the Term Loans and Revolving Loans. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum, at the borrower’s option, equal to an applicable margin, plus, (a) for alternate base rate borrowings, the highest of (i) the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period on such day plus 1.00% and (b) for eurodollar borrowings, the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined by the greater of (i) the LIBO Rate for the relevant interest period divided by 1 minus the statutory reserves (if any) and (ii) 1.00%. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Credit Agreement is (a)(1) prior to June 30, 2020 and (2) on or after June 30, 2020 (so long as the total leverage ratio is greater than 6.00 to 1.00), (i) 7.00% for alternate base rate borrowings and (ii) 8.00% for eurodollar borrowings and (b) on or after June 30, 2020 (so long as the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 6.00 to 1.00), subject to step downs to (i) 5.50% for alternate base rate borrowings and (ii) 6.50% for eurodollar borrowings. The total leverage ratio is determined in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The amount of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan offsetting the debt on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The amount of debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0.2 million. The contract interest rate on the Term Loan was 8.91% per annum as of December 31, 2019. The effective interest rate was 9.62% per annum as of December 31, 2019. The effective interest rate was higher than the contract rate due to amortization of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan. The Term Loan Credit Agreement does not require periodic principal payments and requires full payment upon maturity date. The Term Loan contains affirmative and negative operating covenants applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. We were compliant with these covenants at December 31, 2019. The interest rate for the Revolving Credit Facility was 7.0% and 8.0% as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had used $1.2 million as collateral for office space letters of credit. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had used $1.0 million as collateral for office space letters of credit. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility of 0.5% per annum, and a fee of 2.95% per annum for the outstanding letters of credit generating expenses of $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Long-term incentive plan	Note 9. Long‑term incentive plan In 2018, the Company established a long‑term incentive plan for certain employees. Under the plan, the employees will receive cash payments upon achievement of the same conditions of the Company’s return target options. In conjunction with the IPO, the conditions of the long‑term incentive plan were modified to also vest following an IPO and registration and sale of shares by Vista provided that Vista achieves a cash return on its equity investment in the Company equaling or exceeding $1.515 billion. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had established a pool for executed individual agreements with employees to pay $7.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, upon achievement of the plan conditions. Consistent with the return target options, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no expense or liability has been recognized as the conditions for payment have not occurred.	Note 12. Long‑term incentive plan In 2018, the Company established a long‑term incentive plan for certain employees. Under the plan, the employees will receive cash payments upon achievement of the same conditions of the Company’s return target options discussed previously. The Company has established a pool of $7.0 million to provide these cash payments to employees. As of both December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had executed individual agreements with employees to pay $5.9 million upon achievement of the plan conditions.

Income taxes
Income taxes	Note 11. Income taxes The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were 26.7% and 23.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by $1.4 million of discrete income tax benefit primarily related to the loss on debt extinguishment. The Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were 27.0% and 23.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was higher than the prior year period due to research and development credits, the final Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) high-tax exclusion regulation released on July 20, 2020 and a change in valuation allowance on foreign deferred tax assets related to a merger of subsidiaries. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by $1.6 million of discrete income tax benefit primarily related to the loss on debt extinguishment and the impact of the net operating loss carryback and interest limitation changes related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) . On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of social security taxes, the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits, and technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property. The Company anticipates it will benefit from the prior and future utilization of net operating losses and interest deductions. Beginning with pay dates on and after April 17, 2020, the Company has elected to defer the employer-paid portion of social security taxes, resulting in an accrual of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2020. On July 20, 2020, Final Regulations were released with respect to the GILTI high-tax exclusion. The Final Regulations are effective for tax years starting after July 23, 2020, however, there may be availability for retroactive application back to tax years started after December 31, 2017. The Company has performed an analysis and determined there would be a benefit in both 2018 and 2019 for which a discrete item has been included in the third quarter of 2020 to reflect the impact of this benefit. In addition, we reduced our GILTI income as of the third quarter of 2020, the effect of which is reflected in the annual effective tax rate.	Note 13. Income Taxes The income tax provision (benefit) included with operations consists of the following: Years Ended December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Current: Federal $ (7) $ (38) State 138 123 Foreign 1,013 328 Deferred: Federal (8,990) (10,625) State (1,638) (1,947) Foreign (627) 22 $ (10,111) $ (12,137) The income tax benefit differs from the amounts of income tax benefit determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income or loss due to the following: Years Ended December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Computed “expected” tax benefit 21.0 % 21.0 % State income tax benefit, net of federal tax effect 2.8 % 3.4 % Permanent differences (0.5) % (0.3) % Foreign rate differential 0.2 % (0.1) % Remeasurement Gain/Loss 0.5 % 0.0 % Tax credits 2.2 % 2.3 % Valuation allowance (1.1) % (0.5) % Transaction costs (0.4) % (0.1) % Deferred rate change (0.3) % (0.2) % GILTI inclusion (0.5) % (1.3) % Other (0.2) % 0.9 % 23.7 % 25.1 % Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax liability were as follows: December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 49 $ 15 Accrued compensation 1,911 1,600 Deferred revenue 2,554 1,288 Deferred rent 191 68 Equipment and leasehold improvements 285 254 Stock options 882 410 Federal tax credits 3,301 2,547 Other 988 514 Net operating losses 25,157 26,161 State research and development tax credits 1,383 1,219 Business interest limitation 7,945 4,176 Valuation allowance (1,213) (750) Net deferred tax assets 43,433 37,502 Deferred tax liabilities: Prepaid items (691) (500) Deferred contract costs (5,322) (2,676) Intangibles (55,553) (60,710) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ (18,133) $ (26,384) At December 31, 2019, the Company had a U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $100.8 million, foreign net operating loss carryforward of approximately $0.5 million, federal research and development credits of approximately $3.5 million and foreign tax credits of approximately $0.1 million. The Company also had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $60.4 million and credits for research and development of approximately $1.9 million. Approximately $95.0 million of the federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2036. The remainder of the federal net operating losses of $5.8 million are carried forward indefinitely. The state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2023 and are available to offset future taxable income or reduce taxes payable through 2037. The federal research and development credits, state research and development credits and foreign tax credits will begin expiring in 2033, 2026, and 2023, respectively. Under the provision for uncertainty in income taxes, the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. If recognized, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that would have an effect on the effective income tax rate is $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next 12 months. The Company established a valuation allowance against Wisconsin state tax credits, foreign tax credits, and Netherlands net deferred tax assets which the Company has determined are more likely than not to be unrealized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Minnesota, and various other state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. It is difficult to predict the final timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based on the Company’s assessment of many factors, including past experience and complex judgements about future events, the Company does not currently anticipate significant changes in its uncertain tax positions over the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as additional income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize material income tax expense related to interest and penalties. New tax legislation Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) tax reform legislation. This legislation made significant changes in U.S. tax law, including a reduction in the corporate tax rates, changes to net operating loss carryforwards and carrybacks, and a repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax. The legislation reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate from the current rate of 35% to 21%. The Company’s accounting under the Act was finalized as of December 31, 2018. The legislation also introduced a new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision. Under GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either 1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period cost when incurred or 2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes. GILTI depends not only on our current structure and estimated future income, but also our intent and ability to modify the structure or business. The Company has chosen to treat GILTI as a current-period cost when incurred. GILTI expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Summary of significant accoun_2

Summary of significant accounting policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended	12 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2020	Dec. 31, 2019
Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation	The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our final prospectus (the “IPO Prospectus”) dated as of July 21, 2020 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The following describes the impact of certain policies.	Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Net Loss per Share of Common Stock		Net Loss per Share of Common Stock Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per common share calculation, restricted stock units and stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. Because we have reported a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share for those periods because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the calculation.
Cash and cash equivalents		Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers any highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Trade receivables, net		Trade receivables, net Credit is extended to customers in the normal course of business, generally with 30-day payment terms. Receivables are recorded at net realizable value, which includes allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company reviews the collectability of trade receivables on an ongoing basis. The Company reserves for trade receivables determined to be uncollectible. This determination is based on the delinquency of the account, the financial condition of the customer, and the Company’s collection experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.2 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had one distributor that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to this distributor were $6.0 million and $7.8 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Activity related to our allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of period $ 60 $ 60 Bad-debt expense 279 37 Accounts written off (139) (37) Balance, end of period $ 200 $ 60
Equipment and leasehold improvements, net		Equipment and leasehold improvements, net Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. These lives range from 3 to 5 years for computers and server equipment, 3 years for software, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, and the lower of lease term or useful life on leasehold improvements. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets		Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which requires that long-lived assets and finite-lived identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Goodwill		Goodwill The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires goodwill to be either qualitatively or quantitatively assessed for impairment annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for each reporting unit. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company performs its impairment testing of goodwill at least annually and more frequently if events occur that would indicate that it is more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is less than carrying value. If the Company’s reporting unit carrying amount exceeds its fair value an impairment charge will be recorded based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill currently recognized in the Company’s single reporting unit. The Company performed the annual assessment as of October 1, 2019 and no impairment was identified.
Other intangibles, net		Other intangibles, net Other intangible assets, including customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks acquired in our previous acquisitions, have definite lives and are amortized over a period ranging from 1 to 12 years on a straight-line basis. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.
Debt issuance costs		Debt issuance costs Costs of debt financing are charged to expense over the lives of the related financing agreements. Remaining costs and the future period over which they would be charged to expense are reassessed when amendments to the related financing agreements or prepayments occur. Debt issuance costs for the Company's term loan are recognized as an offset to the Company's debt liability and are amortized using the effective-interest method. Debt issuance costs for the Company's revolving line of credit are recognized within other non-current assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis.
Deferred offering costs	Deferred offering costs Offering costs are capitalized and consist of fees incurred in connection with the sale of common stock in our IPO and include legal, accounting, printing, and other IPO‑related costs. The balance of deferred offering costs included within other current assets as of December 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $1.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of deferred offering costs. Upon completion of our IPO, the total amount of $7.3 million of deferred offering costs was reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. Therefore, we had no deferred offering costs included within other current assets as of September 30, 2020.	Deferred offering costs Deferred offering costs are capitalized and consist of fees incurred in connection with the anticipated sale of common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”) and include legal, accounting, printing, and other IPO-related costs. Upon completion of an IPO, these deferred costs will be reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. In the event an IPO is terminated, the deferred offering costs would be expensed in the period of termination as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The balance of deferred offering costs included within other current assets at December 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had not incurred such costs.
Foreign currency remeasurement		Foreign currency remeasurement Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of all our international operations is the U.S. dollar. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company’s foreign operations are remeasured in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Remeasurement adjustments are recorded as foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized a foreign currency loss of $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Stock-based compensation	Share‑based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in its accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock‑based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. All service‑based options outstanding under the Company’s option plans have exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of these service options is determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of service‑based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. All awards expire after 10 years. There were no service option grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Compensation cost for restricted stock units is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Stock‑based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company also grants performance‑based awards to certain executives that vest and become exercisable when Vista’s realized cash return on its investment in the Company equals or exceeds $1.515 billion upon a change in control of the Company (“Termination Event”). The terms of the agreement do not specify a performance period for the occurrence of the Termination Event. The contractual term of the awards is 10 years. These options are also referred to as return target options. The Company uses a Modified Black‑Scholes option pricing model which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurement. In conjunction with the IPO, the vesting conditions of the performance-based awards were modified to also vest following an IPO and registration and sale of shares by Vista provided that Vista achieves a cash return on its equity investment in the Company equaling or exceeding $1.515 billion. In accordance with ASC 718, we calculated the fair value of these options on the modification date. The value of these options on the date of modification was $33.0 million as of June 30, 2020. As the awards are not currently considered probable of meeting vesting requirements no expense has been recognized, and the timing of any future expense recognition is unknown.	Stock‑based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in its accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock‑based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. All service‑based options outstanding under the Company’s option plans have exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of these service options is determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of service‑based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. All awards expire after 10 years. The fair value of each grant of service options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires judgment to determine. Expected Term — The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to be outstanding. For time-based awards, the estimated expected term of options granted is generally calculated as the vesting period plus the midpoint of the remaining contractual term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations surrounding future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected Volatility — The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for its common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available. Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury instruments with terms that were consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. Expected Dividend — The expected dividend assumption was based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Fair Value of Common Stock — The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options has historically been the responsibility of and determined by the Company’s board of directors. Because there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock, the board of directors has used independent third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock, operating and financial performance, and general and industry-specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Expected life of options 6.25 years 6.25 years Expected volatility 45.1 % – 45.3 % 44.8 % – 46.6% Risk-free interest rates 1.6 % – 1.7 % 2.5 % – 2.8% Expected dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ 7.29 $ 2.69 Compensation cost for restricted stock units is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company also grants performance-based awards to certain executives that vest and become exercisable when Vista’s realized cash return on its investment in the Company equals or exceeds $1.515 billion upon a change in control of the Company (“Termination Event”). The terms of the agreement do not specify a performance period for the occurrence of the Termination Event. The contractual term of the awards is 10 years. These options are also referred to as return target options. Since the performance condition relates to a Termination Event, and as a change of control cannot be probable until it occurs, no compensation expense will be recorded until a Termination Event. In 2018, as there is also a market condition with these options based on a return on equity target, the fair value of the awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. In 2019, the Company used a Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurement which would yield similar results to the Monte Carlo simulation and simplify the process. Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Expected life of options 3 - 3.25 years 4.50 years Expected volatility 50 % – 55 % 55 % Risk-free interest rates 1.49 % – 1.67 % 2.7 % Expected dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ 6.02 $ 1.91
Income taxes		Income taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We use a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and follows a five-step model to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company separates revenue into recurring and non‑recurring categories to disaggregate those revenues that are one‑time in nature from those that are term‑based and renewable. Revenue from recurring and non‑recurring contractual arrangements are as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) SaaS subscription and support and maintenance $ 57,933 $ 41,916 $ 160,989 $ 112,872 On‑premise subscription 7,849 5,135 18,159 12,224 Recurring revenue 65,782 47,051 179,148 125,096 Perpetual licenses 1,017 2,283 3,811 7,381 Professional services 3,605 5,234 10,066 14,529 Non‑recurring revenue 4,622 7,517 13,877 21,910 Total revenue $ 70,404 $ 54,568 $ 193,025 $ 147,006 Contract Balances Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance and services in advance. Changes in contract liabilities, including revenue earned during the period from the beginning contract liability balance and new deferrals of revenue during the period, were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) Balance, beginning of the period $ 157,738 $ 117,919 $ 140,710 $ 100,662 Revenue earned (50,038) (39,261) (147,324) (116,145) Deferral of revenue 80,538 54,651 194,852 148,792 Balance, end of the period $ 188,238 $ 133,309 $ 188,238 $ 133,309 There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 outside of our sales activities. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancelable amounts to be invoiced. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $199.1 million and $149.5 million, respectively, of remaining performance obligations, with 82% and 86%, respectively, expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Sales commissions as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs on the consolidated balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. Total amortization of contract costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Total amortization of contract costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $6.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had two distributors that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to these distributors were $15.2 million at September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one distributor that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to this distributor were $6.0 million at December 31, 2019.	Revenue recognition The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model as follows: · Identify the contract with a customer · Identify the performance obligations in the contract · Determine the transaction price · Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract · Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of SaaS subscriptions, support and maintenance contracts, software licenses, and related professional services. The Company’s products and services are marketed and sold directly, as well as indirectly through third-party resellers, to the end-user. The Company assesses the contract term as the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations. The contract term can differ from the stated term in contracts with certain termination or renewal rights, depending on whether there are substantive penalties associated with those rights. Customer contracts are generally standardized and non-cancelable for the duration of the stated contract term. Nature of Products and Services Subscription: Subscription includes SaaS subscription arrangements which include a promise to allow customers to access software hosted by the Company over the contract period, without allowing the customer to take possession of the software or transfer hosting to a third party. Subscription also includes support and maintenance, which includes when-and-if available software updates and technical support on our perpetual and on-premise subscription licenses. Because the subscription represents a stand-ready obligation to provide a series of distinct periods of access to the subscription, which are all substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, subscriptions are accounted for as a series and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, beginning at the point when the customer is able to use and benefit from the subscription. Services: Services, including training, are often sold as part of new software license or subscription contracts. These services are fulfilled by the Company and with the use of other vendors and do not significantly modify, integrate or otherwise depend on other performance obligations included in the contracts. Services are generally performed over a one- to two-day period and, when sold as part of new software license or subscription contracts, at or near the outset of the related contract. When other vendors participate in the provisioning of the services, the Company recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis as the Company is the principal in these arrangements. Revenue related to services is recognized, as the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled. Related fulfillment costs are recognized as incurred. License: Licenses include sales of perpetual and on-premise subscription arrangements. Licenses for on-premise software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Revenue from software licenses is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which is typically upon making the software available to the customer. Certain contracts may include explicit options to renew maintenance at a stated price. These options are generally priced in line with the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) and therefore do not provide a material right to the customer. If the option provides a material right to the customer, then the material right is accounted for as a separate performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue when those future goods or services underlying the option are transferred or when the option expires. Significant Judgments When the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, the contract transaction price is allocated on a relative SSP basis to each performance obligation. The Company typically determines SSP based on observable selling prices of its products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as with software licenses that are never sold on a stand-alone basis, SSP is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. SSP is typically established as ranges and the Company typically has more than one SSP range for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer class, channel type, and purchase quantity, among other circumstances. Transaction Price The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to the customer. Revenue from sales is recorded based on the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price is constrained and is included only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company’s contracts with customers may include service level agreements, which entitle the customer to receive service credits, and in certain cases, service refunds, when defined service levels are not met. These arrangements represent a form of variable consideration, which is included in the calculation of the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the expected value based on its assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance and a review of specific transactions, historical experience, and market and economic conditions. The Company has historically not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined levels of reliability and performance as required by the contracts and therefore, the related amounts are not constrained. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company separates revenue into recurring and non‑recurring categories to disaggregate those revenues that are one‑time in nature from those that are term‑based and renewable. Revenue from recurring and non‑recurring contractual arrangements are as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000's) 2019 2018 SaaS subscription and support and maintenance $ 159,111 $ 100,350 On‑premise subscription 16,078 12,690 Recurring revenue 175,189 113,040 Perpetual licenses 9,830 13,316 Professional services 19,008 20,206 Non‑recurring revenue 28,838 33,522 Total revenue $ 204,027 $ 146,562 Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may not align with the right to invoice the customer. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to issue an invoice and receive payment regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. For multiyear agreements, the Company will either invoice the customer in full at the inception of the contract or annually at the beginning of each annual period. If revenue has not yet been recognized, then a contract liability (deferred revenue) is also recorded. Deferred revenue classified as current on the consolidated balance sheet is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year. Non-current deferred revenue will be fully recognized within five years. If revenue is recognized in advance of the right to invoice, a contract asset is recorded. Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance and services in advance. Changes in contract liabilities were as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000's) 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of the period $ 100,662 $ 68,048 Revenue earned (86,220) (54,955) Deferral of revenue 126,268 87,569 Balance, end of the period $ 140,710 $ 100,662 There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 outside of our sales activities. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of the right to invoice, the Company has determined that a significant financing component generally does not exist. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the products and services and not to receive financing from or provide financing to the customer. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity not to recognize a significant financing component if the time between the transfer of a good or service and payment is one year or less. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30-days. The Company does not offer rights of return for its products and services in the normal course of business and contracts generally do not include customer acceptance clauses. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancelable amounts to be invoiced. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $149.5 million of remaining performance obligations, with 86% expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Sales commissions as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs on the consolidated balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense contract costs as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include the portion of the commissions that are expensed in the current period versus the portion of the commissions that are recognized over the expected period of benefit, which often extends beyond the contract term as we do not pay a commission upon renewal of the service contracts. Contract costs are allocated to each performance obligation within the contract and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period of the related performance obligations. Contract costs are amortized as a component of sales and marketing expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. We have determined that the expected period of benefit is five years based on evaluation of a number of factors, including customer attrition rates, weighted average useful lives of our customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets, and market factors, including overall competitive environment and technology life of competitors. Total amortization of contract costs for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Software development costs		Software development costs Costs related to research, design and development of software products prior to establishment of technological feasibility are charged to software development expense as incurred. Software development costs, if material, are capitalized, beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established using the working model approach and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no software development costs were capitalized, because the time period and costs incurred between technological feasibility and general release for all software product releases were insignificant. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, total research and development costs were $42.8 million and $31.5 million, respectively.
Advertising costs		Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and presented within selling and marketing within the consolidated statement of operations. Advertising costs were $8.7 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Interest expense, net		Interest expense, net For the year ended December 31, 2019, interest expense from debt financing of $21.9 million is offset by interest income from cash investments of $0.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2018, interest expense from debt financing of $18.7 million is offset by interest income from cash investments of $0.5 million.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted and Adoption of new accounting pronouncements	Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019‑10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative‑effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations related to their leasing arrangements. The update requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, with the exception of short-term leases if a policy election is made, while recognizing lease expense on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also requires entities to disclose key quantitative and qualitative information about its leasing arrangements. The Company expects to adopt the new lease standard on January 1, 2021 using the optional transition method to the modified retrospective approach. The Company has formed an implementation team, commenced identification of our lease population, and selected new software to manage the lease portfolio and perform the accounting required under the new lease standard. The Company is still assessing the impact of adoption of the new lease standard on the consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides entities with temporary optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020‑04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019‑12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted the standard in the third quarter of 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement — Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018‑13”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASU 2018‑13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date of ASU 2018-13 is the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018‑15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal‑use software under ASC Subtopic 350‑40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any of these arrangements. Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), with an intent to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share‑based payments issued to nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018‑07 provide for the simplification of the measurement of share‑based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share‑based payment transactions are significantly different. This standard expands the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include share‑based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services, aligning the accounting for share‑based payments to nonemployees and employees. ASU 2018‑07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any nonemployee share‑based payment awards.	Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019‑10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative‑effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement — Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018‑13”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASU 2018‑13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption permitted until fiscal year 2021 for the new disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2018‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02. The update requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets while recognizing expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also eliminates current real estate‑specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales‑type and direct financing leases. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities . The update defers the initial effective date of ASU 2016-02 by one year for private companies and private not-for-profits. For these entities the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, and the modified retrospective method is to be applied. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions. Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019‑12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The method of adoption varies for the provisions in the update. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides entities with temporary optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020‑04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018‑15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal‑use software under ASC Subtopic 350‑40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as the Company does not have any of these arrangements. Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), with an intent to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share‑based payments issued to nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018‑07 provide for the simplification of the measurement of share‑based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share‑based payment transactions are significantly different. This standard expands the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include share‑based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services, aligning the accounting for share‑based payments to nonemployees and employees. ASU 2018‑07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as the Company does not have any nonemployee share‑based payment awards

Basis of presentation and description of business
Basis of presentation and description of business	Note 1. Basis of presentation and description of business Description of business Jamf Holding Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively, are referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.” We are the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, and our cloud software platform is the only vertically‑focused Apple infrastructure and security platform of scale in the world. We help organizations connect, manage and protect Apple products, apps and corporate resources in the cloud without ever having to touch the devices. With our products, Apple devices can be deployed to employees brand new in the shrink‑wrapped box, automatically set up and personalized at first power‑on and continuously administered throughout the life of the device. Our customers are located throughout the world. Initial public offering On July 24, 2020, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) through which it issued and sold 13,500,000 shares of common stock at a price per share to the public of $26.00 (the “IPO Price”). In connection with the IPO, the Company raised approximately $319.0 million after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions of $24.7 million and offering expenses of $7.3 million . Upon completion of the IPO, authorized capital stock consisted of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Concurrently with the Company’s IPO, the Company issued and sold 85,880 shares of its common stock in a private placement to certain of its named executive officers, certain of its other employees and its independent directors at the IPO Price for aggregate consideration of approximately $2.2 million. Upon closing of the IPO, the Company repaid $205.0 million of the principal amount of its then existing Term Loan Facility (the “Prior Term Loan Facility”) and paid $3.4 million of accrued interest and $2.0 million of prepayment penalty. The Company also wrote off $3.2 million of remaining debt issuance costs upon repayment of the debt. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $5.2 million for the prepayment penalty and write off of debt issuance costs in the third quarter of 2020. Vista Equity Partners acquisition On November 13, 2017, Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”) acquired a majority share of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the purchase price of $733.8 million (the “Vista Acquisition”). As of September 30, 2020, funds controlled by Vista own approximately 72.9% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” under NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) corporate governance rules. Emerging growth company status We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it is (i) no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We will remain an emerging growth company for the first five fiscal years after the completion of our IPO, unless one of the following occurs: (i) our total annual gross revenue is at least $1.07 billion, (ii) we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non‑convertible debt securities during the prior three‑year period, or (iii) we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non‑affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30. Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020, the consolidated statements of operations and of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future period. Subsequent events The Company evaluated events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. No subsequent events or transactions were identified. Use of estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future and include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, stock‑based compensation, commissions, goodwill and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment and Geographic Information Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. We operate our business as one operating segment and therefore we have one reportable segment. Revenue by geographic region as determined based on the end user customer address was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) Revenue: The Americas $ 54,631 $ 42,459 $ 149,806 $ 112,980 Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa 11,754 9,313 32,483 25,972 Asia Pacific 4,019 2,796 10,736 8,054 $ 70,404 $ 54,568 $ 193,025 $ 147,006	Note 1.

Vista Equity Partners acquisition On November 13, 2017, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Juno Intermediate, Inc. (“Juno Intermediate”), Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and JAMF Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Vista Equity Partners (“Vista”) acquired a majority share of all the issued and outstanding shares of Holdings at the purchase price of $733.8 million (the “Vista Acquisition”). Merger Sub was absorbed into Holdings as part of the acquisition and Juno Intermediate survived and was considered the accounting acquirer. The Company accounted for the Vista Acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.

Summary of significant accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies	Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our final prospectus (the “IPO Prospectus”) dated as of July 21, 2020 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The following describes the impact of certain policies. Stock split On July 10, 2020, the Company effected a 110-for-1 stock split of its common stock. The par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retrospectively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split. Deferred offering costs Offering costs are capitalized and consist of fees incurred in connection with the sale of common stock in our IPO and include legal, accounting, printing, and other IPO‑related costs. The balance of deferred offering costs included within other current assets as of December 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $1.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of deferred offering costs. Upon completion of our IPO, the total amount of $7.3 million of deferred offering costs was reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. Therefore, we had no deferred offering costs included within other current assets as of September 30, 2020. Share‑based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in its accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock‑based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. All service‑based options outstanding under the Company’s option plans have exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of these service options is determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of service‑based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. All awards expire after 10 years. There were no service option grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Compensation cost for restricted stock units is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Stock‑based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company also grants performance‑based awards to certain executives that vest and become exercisable when Vista’s realized cash return on its investment in the Company equals or exceeds $1.515 billion upon a change in control of the Company (“Termination Event”). The terms of the agreement do not specify a performance period for the occurrence of the Termination Event. The contractual term of the awards is 10 years. These options are also referred to as return target options. The Company uses a Modified Black‑Scholes option pricing model which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurement. In conjunction with the IPO, the vesting conditions of the performance-based awards were modified to also vest following an IPO and registration and sale of shares by Vista provided that Vista achieves a cash return on its equity investment in the Company equaling or exceeding $1.515 billion. In accordance with ASC 718, we calculated the fair value of these options on the modification date. The value of these options on the date of modification was $33.0 million as of June 30, 2020. As the awards are not currently considered probable of meeting vesting requirements no expense has been recognized, and the timing of any future expense recognition is unknown. Revenue recognition The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and follows a five-step model to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company separates revenue into recurring and non‑recurring categories to disaggregate those revenues that are one‑time in nature from those that are term‑based and renewable. Revenue from recurring and non‑recurring contractual arrangements are as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) SaaS subscription and support and maintenance $ 57,933 $ 41,916 $ 160,989 $ 112,872 On‑premise subscription 7,849 5,135 18,159 12,224 Recurring revenue 65,782 47,051 179,148 125,096 Perpetual licenses 1,017 2,283 3,811 7,381 Professional services 3,605 5,234 10,066 14,529 Non‑recurring revenue 4,622 7,517 13,877 21,910 Total revenue $ 70,404 $ 54,568 $ 193,025 $ 147,006 Contract Balances Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance and services in advance. Changes in contract liabilities, including revenue earned during the period from the beginning contract liability balance and new deferrals of revenue during the period, were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) Balance, beginning of the period $ 157,738 $ 117,919 $ 140,710 $ 100,662 Revenue earned (50,038) (39,261) (147,324) (116,145) Deferral of revenue 80,538 54,651 194,852 148,792 Balance, end of the period $ 188,238 $ 133,309 $ 188,238 $ 133,309 There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 outside of our sales activities. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancelable amounts to be invoiced. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $199.1 million and $149.5 million, respectively, of remaining performance obligations, with 82% and 86%, respectively, expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Sales commissions as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs on the consolidated balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. Total amortization of contract costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Total amortization of contract costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $6.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had two distributors that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to these distributors were $15.2 million at September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one distributor that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to this distributor were $6.0 million at December 31, 2019. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019‑10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative‑effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations related to their leasing arrangements. The update requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, with the exception of short-term leases if a policy election is made, while recognizing lease expense on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also requires entities to disclose key quantitative and qualitative information about its leasing arrangements. The Company expects to adopt the new lease standard on January 1, 2021 using the optional transition method to the modified retrospective approach. The Company has formed an implementation team, commenced identification of our lease population, and selected new software to manage the lease portfolio and perform the accounting required under the new lease standard. The Company is still assessing the impact of adoption of the new lease standard on the consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides entities with temporary optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020‑04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019‑12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted the standard in the third quarter of 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement — Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018‑13”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASU 2018‑13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date of ASU 2018-13 is the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018‑15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal‑use software under ASC Subtopic 350‑40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any of these arrangements. Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), with an intent to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share‑based payments issued to nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018‑07 provide for the simplification of the measurement of share‑based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share‑based payment transactions are significantly different. This standard expands the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include share‑based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services, aligning the accounting for share‑based payments to nonemployees and employees. ASU 2018‑07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any nonemployee share‑based payment awards.	Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Net Loss per Share of Common Stock Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of the diluted net loss per common share calculation, restricted stock units and stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. Because we have reported a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share for those periods because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the calculation. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers any highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Trade receivables, net Credit is extended to customers in the normal course of business, generally with 30-day payment terms. Receivables are recorded at net realizable value, which includes allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company reviews the collectability of trade receivables on an ongoing basis. The Company reserves for trade receivables determined to be uncollectible. This determination is based on the delinquency of the account, the financial condition of the customer, and the Company’s collection experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.2 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had one distributor that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to this distributor were $6.0 million and $7.8 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Activity related to our allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of period $ 60 $ 60 Bad-debt expense 279 37 Accounts written off (139) (37) Balance, end of period $ 200 $ 60 Equipment and leasehold improvements, net Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. These lives range from 3 to 5 years for computers and server equipment, 3 years for software, 5 to 7 years for furniture and fixtures, and the lower of lease term or useful life on leasehold improvements. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which requires that long-lived assets and finite-lived identifiable intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which requires goodwill to be either qualitatively or quantitatively assessed for impairment annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for each reporting unit. The Company has one reporting unit. The Company performs its impairment testing of goodwill at least annually and more frequently if events occur that would indicate that it is more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is less than carrying value. If the Company’s reporting unit carrying amount exceeds its fair value an impairment charge will be recorded based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill currently recognized in the Company’s single reporting unit. The Company performed the annual assessment as of October 1, 2019 and no impairment was identified. Other intangibles, net Other intangible assets, including customer relationships, developed technology, and trademarks acquired in our previous acquisitions, have definite lives and are amortized over a period ranging from 1 to 12 years on a straight-line basis. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Debt issuance costs Costs of debt financing are charged to expense over the lives of the related financing agreements. Remaining costs and the future period over which they would be charged to expense are reassessed when amendments to the related financing agreements or prepayments occur. Debt issuance costs for the Company's term loan are recognized as an offset to the Company's debt liability and are amortized using the effective-interest method. Debt issuance costs for the Company's revolving line of credit are recognized within other non-current assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis. Deferred offering costs Deferred offering costs are capitalized and consist of fees incurred in connection with the anticipated sale of common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”) and include legal, accounting, printing, and other IPO-related costs. Upon completion of an IPO, these deferred costs will be reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. In the event an IPO is terminated, the deferred offering costs would be expensed in the period of termination as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The balance of deferred offering costs included within other current assets at December 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had not incurred such costs. Foreign currency remeasurement Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of all our international operations is the U.S. dollar. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Company’s foreign operations are remeasured in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Remeasurement adjustments are recorded as foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized a foreign currency loss of $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Stock‑based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in its accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock‑based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. All service‑based options outstanding under the Company’s option plans have exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of these service options is determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of service‑based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. All awards expire after 10 years. The fair value of each grant of service options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires judgment to determine. Expected Term — The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to be outstanding. For time-based awards, the estimated expected term of options granted is generally calculated as the vesting period plus the midpoint of the remaining contractual term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations surrounding future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected Volatility — The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for its common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available. Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury instruments with terms that were consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. Expected Dividend — The expected dividend assumption was based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Fair Value of Common Stock — The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options has historically been the responsibility of and determined by the Company’s board of directors. Because there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock, the board of directors has used independent third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock, operating and financial performance, and general and industry-specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Expected life of options 6.25 years 6.25 years Expected volatility 45.1 % – 45.3 % 44.8 % – 46.6% Risk-free interest rates 1.6 % – 1.7 % 2.5 % – 2.8% Expected dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ 7.29 $ 2.69 Compensation cost for restricted stock units is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company also grants performance-based awards to certain executives that vest and become exercisable when Vista’s realized cash return on its investment in the Company equals or exceeds $1.515 billion upon a change in control of the Company (“Termination Event”). The terms of the agreement do not specify a performance period for the occurrence of the Termination Event. The contractual term of the awards is 10 years. These options are also referred to as return target options. Since the performance condition relates to a Termination Event, and as a change of control cannot be probable until it occurs, no compensation expense will be recorded until a Termination Event. In 2018, as there is also a market condition with these options based on a return on equity target, the fair value of the awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. In 2019, the Company used a Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurement which would yield similar results to the Monte Carlo simulation and simplify the process. Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Expected life of options 3 - 3.25 years 4.50 years Expected volatility 50 % – 55 % 55 % Risk-free interest rates 1.49 % – 1.67 % 2.7 % Expected dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ 6.02 $ 1.91 Income taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We use a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Revenue recognition The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model as follows: · Identify the contract with a customer · Identify the performance obligations in the contract · Determine the transaction price · Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract · Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of SaaS subscriptions, support and maintenance contracts, software licenses, and related professional services. The Company’s products and services are marketed and sold directly, as well as indirectly through third-party resellers, to the end-user. The Company assesses the contract term as the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations. The contract term can differ from the stated term in contracts with certain termination or renewal rights, depending on whether there are substantive penalties associated with those rights. Customer contracts are generally standardized and non-cancelable for the duration of the stated contract term. Nature of Products and Services Subscription: Subscription includes SaaS subscription arrangements which include a promise to allow customers to access software hosted by the Company over the contract period, without allowing the customer to take possession of the software or transfer hosting to a third party. Subscription also includes support and maintenance, which includes when-and-if available software updates and technical support on our perpetual and on-premise subscription licenses. Because the subscription represents a stand-ready obligation to provide a series of distinct periods of access to the subscription, which are all substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, subscriptions are accounted for as a series and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, beginning at the point when the customer is able to use and benefit from the subscription. Services: Services, including training, are often sold as part of new software license or subscription contracts. These services are fulfilled by the Company and with the use of other vendors and do not significantly modify, integrate or otherwise depend on other performance obligations included in the contracts. Services are generally performed over a one- to two-day period and, when sold as part of new software license or subscription contracts, at or near the outset of the related contract. When other vendors participate in the provisioning of the services, the Company recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis as the Company is the principal in these arrangements. Revenue related to services is recognized, as the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled. Related fulfillment costs are recognized as incurred. License: Licenses include sales of perpetual and on-premise subscription arrangements. Licenses for on-premise software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Revenue from software licenses is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which is typically upon making the software available to the customer. Certain contracts may include explicit options to renew maintenance at a stated price. These options are generally priced in line with the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) and therefore do not provide a material right to the customer. If the option provides a material right to the customer, then the material right is accounted for as a separate performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue when those future goods or services underlying the option are transferred or when the option expires. Significant Judgments When the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, the contract transaction price is allocated on a relative SSP basis to each performance obligation. The Company typically determines SSP based on observable selling prices of its products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as with software licenses that are never sold on a stand-alone basis, SSP is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. SSP is typically established as ranges and the Company typically has more than one SSP range for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer class, channel type, and purchase quantity, among other circumstances. Transaction Price The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to the customer. Revenue from sales is recorded based on the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price is constrained and is included only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company’s contracts with customers may include service level agreements, which entitle the customer to receive service credits, and in certain cases, service refunds, when defined service levels are not met. These arrangements represent a form of variable consideration, which is included in the calculation of the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the expected value based on its assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance and a review of specific transactions, historical experience, and market and economic conditions. The Company has historically not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined levels of reliability and performance as required by the contracts and therefore, the related amounts are not constrained. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company separates revenue into recurring and non‑recurring categories to disaggregate those revenues that are one‑time in nature from those that are term‑based and renewable. Revenue from recurring and non‑recurring contractual arrangements are as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000's) 2019 2018 SaaS subscription and support and maintenance $ 159,111 $ 100,350 On‑premise subscription 16,078 12,690 Recurring revenue 175,189 113,040 Perpetual licenses 9,830 13,316 Professional services 19,008 20,206 Non‑recurring revenue 28,838 33,522 Total revenue $ 204,027 $ 146,562 Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may not align with the right to invoice the customer. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to issue an invoice and receive payment regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. For multiyear agreements, the Company will either invoice the customer in full at the inception of the contract or annually at the beginning of each annual period. If revenue has not yet been recognized, then a contract liability (deferred revenue) is also recorded. Deferred revenue classified as current on the consolidated balance sheet is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year. Non-current deferred revenue will be fully recognized within five years. If revenue is recognized in advance of the right to invoice, a contract asset is recorded. Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance and services in advance. Changes in contract liabilities were as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000's) 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of the period $ 100,662 $ 68,048 Revenue earned (86,220) (54,955) Deferral of revenue 126,268 87,569 Balance, end of the period $ 140,710 $ 100,662 There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 outside of our sales activities. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of the right to invoice, the Company has determined that a significant financing component generally does not exist. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the products and services and not to receive financing from or provide financing to the customer. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity not to recognize a significant financing component if the time between the transfer of a good or service and payment is one year or less. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30-days. The Company does not offer rights of return for its products and services in the normal course of business and contracts generally do not include customer acceptance clauses. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancelable amounts to be invoiced. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $149.5 million of remaining performance obligations, with 86% expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Sales commissions as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs on the consolidated balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense contract costs as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include the portion of the commissions that are expensed in the current period versus the portion of the commissions that are recognized over the expected period of benefit, which often extends beyond the contract term as we do not pay a commission upon renewal of the service contracts. Contract costs are allocated to each performance obligation within the contract and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period of the related performance obligations. Contract costs are amortized as a component of sales and marketing expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. We have determined that the expected period of benefit is five years based on evaluation of a number of factors, including customer attrition rates, weighted average useful lives of our customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets, and market factors, including overall competitive environment and technology life of competitors. Total amortization of contract costs for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Software development costs Costs related to research, design and development of software products prior to establishment of technological feasibility are charged to software development expense as incurred. Software development costs, if material, are capitalized, beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established using the working model approach and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no software development costs were capitalized, because the time period and costs incurred between technological feasibility and general release for all software product releases were insignificant. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, total research and development costs were $42.8 million and $31.5 million, respectively. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and presented within selling and marketing within the consolidated statement of operations. Advertising costs were $8.7 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Interest expense, net For the year ended December 31, 2019, interest expense from debt financing of $21.9 million is offset by interest income from cash investments of $0.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2018, interest expense from debt financing of $18.7 million is offset by interest income from cash investments of $0.5 million. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019‑10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative‑effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement — Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018‑13”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASU 2018‑13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption permitted until fiscal year 2021 for the new disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2018‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02. The update requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets while recognizing expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also eliminates current real estate‑specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales‑type and direct financing leases. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities . The update defers the initial effective date of ASU 2016-02 by one year for private companies and private not-for-profits. For these entities the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, and the modified retrospective method is to be applied. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions. Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019‑12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The method of adoption varies for the provisions in the update. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides entities with temporary optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020‑04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018‑15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal‑use software under ASC Subtopic 350‑40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as the Company does not have any of these arrangements. Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), with an intent to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share‑based payments issued to nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018‑07 provide for the si

Financial instruments fair value	Note 3. Financial instruments fair value We report financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market‑based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1: Fair value is determined using an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Fair value is estimated using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value. The fair value of our debt as of December 31, 2019 was $203.1 million (Level 2). The carrying value of our debt as of December 31, 2019 was $205.0 million. The fair value of our debt was determined using discounted cash flow analysis based on market rates for similar types of borrowings. Upon closing of the IPO, we repaid the principal amount of our outstanding debt and had no debt outstanding as of September 30, 2020.	Note 3.

Acquisitions
Acquisitions	Note 4. Acquisitions ZuluDesk B.V. On February 1, 2019, the Company purchased all of the outstanding membership units of ZuluDesk B.V. (“ZuluDesk”) whose products are designed to offer a cost‑effective mobile device management system for today’s modern digital classroom. ZuluDesk’s software complement the Company’s existing product offerings. The Company accounted for the acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The final aggregate purchase price was approximately $38.6 million. This acquisition was funded by term debt, and borrowings under a revolving line of credit. The goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable assets. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition is primarily attributable to the offerings in mobile device management of ZuluDesk and its assembled workforce. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of the separately identifiable intangible assets acquired, consisting of trademarks, customer relationships and developed technology, was estimated by applying an income approach. Under the income approach, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership of the asset. Indications of value are developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market‑based rates of return. The weighted‑average economic life of the intangible assets acquired is 7.0 years. For more details on the intangible assets, see Note 5. Acquisition‑related expenses were expensed as incurred and totaled nil and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These expenses were recognized as acquisition costs in general and administrative expenses. ZuluDesk contributed revenue and net income of $1.4 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the effects of the acquisition and integration costs. ZuluDesk contributed revenue and net loss of $2.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the effects of the acquisition and integration costs. The Company used borrowings under the Prior Term Loan Facility to complete the acquisition. The Prior Term Loan Facility provided for borrowings of $175.0 million with a maturity date of November 13, 2022 under the Company’s secured credit agreement entered into November 13, 2017 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), which was increased to $205.0 million on January 30, 2019 when the Company entered into that certain Amendment Agreement No. 1 to such Prior Credit Agreement and approximately $0.5 million of debt issuances costs were capitalized as a reduction in Debt on the balance sheet in connection with such increase. The Company allocated the net purchase consideration to the net assets acquired, including finite‑lived intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the time of the acquisition as follows (in thousands): Assets acquired: Cash $ 3,325 Other current assets 1,306 Long‑term assets 154 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (419) Deferred revenue (3,050) Deferred tax liability (2,996) Intangible assets acquired 12,310 Goodwill 28,000 Total purchase consideration $ 38,630 Digita Security LLC On July 26, 2019, the Company purchased all of the outstanding membership interests of Digita Security LLC (“Digita”). With this acquisition, Digita’s acquired technology complements the Company’s existing Apple management, authentication and account management solutions with a security offering to provide a more robust suite of capabilities and service offerings in the Apple enterprise market. The Company accounted for the acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The acquisition aggregate purchase consideration totaled $14.4 million which included contingent purchase consideration with an estimated fair value of $9.0 million and the remainder provided for with cash. Acquisition‑related expenses were expensed as incurred. Goodwill in the amount of $1.7 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The maximum contingent consideration is $15.0 million if the acquired business achieves certain revenue milestones by December 31, 2022. The estimated fair value of these contingent payments is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurements, including assumptions about probability of growth of subscription services and the related pricing of the services offered. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the fair value of the contingent consideration was increased by $0.6 million and decreased by $3.1 million, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflects updated assumptions about probability of growth of subscription services. The adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflects updated assumptions about the probability of change in control in light of our IPO, as well as updated assumptions about probability of growth of subscription services. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $6.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively, which is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the terms of the purchase agreement provide for additional future payments to the Digita shareholders in the amount of up to $5.0 million if certain key employees continue their employment with the Company through December 31, 2020, which is recognized as a compensation expense in our consolidated statement of operations. The Company recognized as expense $0.9 million and $4.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The fair value of the acquired developed technology was estimated by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at market‑based rates of return (income approach). The estimated useful life of the acquired developed technology is estimated to be 5 years. For more details on the Company’s intangible assets, see Note 5. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition were not presented as the effects were not material to our financial results. The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands): Assets acquired: Cash $ 512 Other current assets 1 Long‑term assets 12 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (119) Intangible assets acquired 3,300 Goodwill 10,673 Total purchase consideration $ 14,379	Note 5.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Note 6. Debt See Note 1 for information on the early extinguishment of debt upon closing of the IPO. On July 27, 2020, the Company entered into a new secured credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) for an initial revolving credit facility of $150.0 million (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”), which may be increased or decreased under specific circumstances, with a $25.0 million letter of credit sublimit and a $50.0 million alternative currency sublimit. In addition, the New Credit Agreement provides for the ability of the Company to request incremental term loan facilities, in a minimum amount of $5.0 million for each facility. The maturity date of the New Credit Agreement is July 27, 2025. The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, reporting obligations, negative covenants and events of default. We were in compliance with such covenants at September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had $1.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under our New Revolving Credit Facility. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $1.3 million, which is amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2020, debt issuance costs of $1.2 million are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The interest rates applicable to revolving borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are, at the Company’s option, either (i) a base rate, which is equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (subject to a floor) for a one month interest period (each term as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus 1%, or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (subject to a floor) equal to the LIBO Rate for the applicable interest period multiplied by the Statutory Reserve Rate, plus in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate (i) for base rate loans range from 0.25% to 1.0% per annum and (ii) for LIBO Rate loans range from 1.25% to 2.0% per annum, in each case, based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the New Credit Agreement). Base rate borrowings may only be made in dollars. The Company pays a commitment fee during the term of the New Credit Agreement ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum of the average daily undrawn portion of the revolving commitments based on the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio.	Note 8. Debt On November 13, 2017, the Company entered into a new secured Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provided an initial term loan facility (“Term Loan”) of $175 million with a maturity date of November 13, 2022 and a revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) of $15 million with a maturity date of November 13, 2022. The interest rate for the Term Loan was determined using a base rate of 8% per annum plus the Eurodollar Borrowing Rate (“contract rate”). The Eurodollar Borrowing Rate was re-elected each quarter based on the current rate at that point in time. On January 30, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amended Credit Agreement which increased the Term Loan to $205 million. The Amended Credit Agreement provided for additional funding for the ZuluDesk acquisition. On April 13, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amended Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended Credit Agreement”), which adjusted the rate for both the Term Loans and Revolving Loans. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum, at the borrower’s option, equal to an applicable margin, plus, (a) for alternate base rate borrowings, the highest of (i) the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1.00% and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month interest period on such day plus 1.00% and (b) for eurodollar borrowings, the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined by the greater of (i) the LIBO Rate for the relevant interest period divided by 1 minus the statutory reserves (if any) and (ii) 1.00%. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Credit Agreement is (a)(1) prior to June 30, 2020 and (2) on or after June 30, 2020 (so long as the total leverage ratio is greater than 6.00 to 1.00), (i) 7.00% for alternate base rate borrowings and (ii) 8.00% for eurodollar borrowings and (b) on or after June 30, 2020 (so long as the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 6.00 to 1.00), subject to step downs to (i) 5.50% for alternate base rate borrowings and (ii) 6.50% for eurodollar borrowings. The total leverage ratio is determined in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The amount of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan offsetting the debt on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $3.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The amount of debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $0.2 million. The contract interest rate on the Term Loan was 8.91% per annum as of December 31, 2019. The effective interest rate was 9.62% per annum as of December 31, 2019. The effective interest rate was higher than the contract rate due to amortization of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan. The Term Loan Credit Agreement does not require periodic principal payments and requires full payment upon maturity date. The Term Loan contains affirmative and negative operating covenants applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. We were compliant with these covenants at December 31, 2019. The interest rate for the Revolving Credit Facility was 7.0% and 8.0% as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had used $1.2 million as collateral for office space letters of credit. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had used $1.0 million as collateral for office space letters of credit. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility of 0.5% per annum, and a fee of 2.95% per annum for the outstanding letters of credit generating expenses of $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income taxes
Income taxes	Note 11. Income taxes The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were 26.7% and 23.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by $1.4 million of discrete income tax benefit primarily related to the loss on debt extinguishment. The Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were 27.0% and 23.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was higher than the prior year period due to research and development credits, the final Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) high-tax exclusion regulation released on July 20, 2020 and a change in valuation allowance on foreign deferred tax assets related to a merger of subsidiaries. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by $1.6 million of discrete income tax benefit primarily related to the loss on debt extinguishment and the impact of the net operating loss carryback and interest limitation changes related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) . On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary changes regarding the prior and future utilization of net operating losses, temporary changes to the prior and future limitations on interest deductions, temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer portion of social security taxes, the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits, and technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property. The Company anticipates it will benefit from the prior and future utilization of net operating losses and interest deductions. Beginning with pay dates on and after April 17, 2020, the Company has elected to defer the employer-paid portion of social security taxes, resulting in an accrual of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2020. On July 20, 2020, Final Regulations were released with respect to the GILTI high-tax exclusion. The Final Regulations are effective for tax years starting after July 23, 2020, however, there may be availability for retroactive application back to tax years started after December 31, 2017. The Company has performed an analysis and determined there would be a benefit in both 2018 and 2019 for which a discrete item has been included in the third quarter of 2020 to reflect the impact of this benefit. In addition, we reduced our GILTI income as of the third quarter of 2020, the effect of which is reflected in the annual effective tax rate.	Note 13. Income Taxes The income tax provision (benefit) included with operations consists of the following: Years Ended December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Current: Federal $ (7) $ (38) State 138 123 Foreign 1,013 328 Deferred: Federal (8,990) (10,625) State (1,638) (1,947) Foreign (627) 22 $ (10,111) $ (12,137) The income tax benefit differs from the amounts of income tax benefit determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income or loss due to the following: Years Ended December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Computed “expected” tax benefit 21.0 % 21.0 % State income tax benefit, net of federal tax effect 2.8 % 3.4 % Permanent differences (0.5) % (0.3) % Foreign rate differential 0.2 % (0.1) % Remeasurement Gain/Loss 0.5 % 0.0 % Tax credits 2.2 % 2.3 % Valuation allowance (1.1) % (0.5) % Transaction costs (0.4) % (0.1) % Deferred rate change (0.3) % (0.2) % GILTI inclusion (0.5) % (1.3) % Other (0.2) % 0.9 % 23.7 % 25.1 % Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax liability were as follows: December 31, ($000’s) 2019 2018 Deferred tax assets: Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 49 $ 15 Accrued compensation 1,911 1,600 Deferred revenue 2,554 1,288 Deferred rent 191 68 Equipment and leasehold improvements 285 254 Stock options 882 410 Federal tax credits 3,301 2,547 Other 988 514 Net operating losses 25,157 26,161 State research and development tax credits 1,383 1,219 Business interest limitation 7,945 4,176 Valuation allowance (1,213) (750) Net deferred tax assets 43,433 37,502 Deferred tax liabilities: Prepaid items (691) (500) Deferred contract costs (5,322) (2,676) Intangibles (55,553) (60,710) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ (18,133) $ (26,384) At December 31, 2019, the Company had a U.S. federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $100.8 million, foreign net operating loss carryforward of approximately $0.5 million, federal research and development credits of approximately $3.5 million and foreign tax credits of approximately $0.1 million. The Company also had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $60.4 million and credits for research and development of approximately $1.9 million. Approximately $95.0 million of the federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2036. The remainder of the federal net operating losses of $5.8 million are carried forward indefinitely. The state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2023 and are available to offset future taxable income or reduce taxes payable through 2037. The federal research and development credits, state research and development credits and foreign tax credits will begin expiring in 2033, 2026, and 2023, respectively. Under the provision for uncertainty in income taxes, the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. If recognized, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that would have an effect on the effective income tax rate is $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next 12 months. The Company established a valuation allowance against Wisconsin state tax credits, foreign tax credits, and Netherlands net deferred tax assets which the Company has determined are more likely than not to be unrealized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Minnesota, and various other state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. It is difficult to predict the final timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based on the Company’s assessment of many factors, including past experience and complex judgements about future events, the Company does not currently anticipate significant changes in its uncertain tax positions over the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as additional income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize material income tax expense related to interest and penalties. New tax legislation Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) tax reform legislation. This legislation made significant changes in U.S. tax law, including a reduction in the corporate tax rates, changes to net operating loss carryforwards and carrybacks, and a repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax. The legislation reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate from the current rate of 35% to 21%. The Company’s accounting under the Act was finalized as of December 31, 2018. The legislation also introduced a new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision. Under GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either 1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period cost when incurred or 2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes. GILTI depends not only on our current structure and estimated future income, but also our intent and ability to modify the structure or business. The Company has chosen to treat GILTI as a current-period cost when incurred. GILTI expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation	The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our final prospectus (the “IPO Prospectus”) dated as of July 21, 2020 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The following describes the impact of certain policies.	Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Stock split	Stock split On July 10, 2020, the Company effected a 110-for-1 stock split of its common stock. The par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retrospectively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split.
Deferred offering costs	Deferred offering costs Offering costs are capitalized and consist of fees incurred in connection with the sale of common stock in our IPO and include legal, accounting, printing, and other IPO‑related costs. The balance of deferred offering costs included within other current assets as of December 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we incurred $1.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of deferred offering costs. Upon completion of our IPO, the total amount of $7.3 million of deferred offering costs was reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. Therefore, we had no deferred offering costs included within other current assets as of September 30, 2020.	Deferred offering costs Deferred offering costs are capitalized and consist of fees incurred in connection with the anticipated sale of common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”) and include legal, accounting, printing, and other IPO-related costs. Upon completion of an IPO, these deferred costs will be reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. In the event an IPO is terminated, the deferred offering costs would be expensed in the period of termination as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The balance of deferred offering costs included within other current assets at December 31, 2019 was $2.3 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had not incurred such costs.
Share-based compensation	Share‑based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in its accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock‑based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. All service‑based options outstanding under the Company’s option plans have exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of these service options is determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of service‑based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. All awards expire after 10 years. There were no service option grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Compensation cost for restricted stock units is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Stock‑based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company also grants performance‑based awards to certain executives that vest and become exercisable when Vista’s realized cash return on its investment in the Company equals or exceeds $1.515 billion upon a change in control of the Company (“Termination Event”). The terms of the agreement do not specify a performance period for the occurrence of the Termination Event. The contractual term of the awards is 10 years. These options are also referred to as return target options. The Company uses a Modified Black‑Scholes option pricing model which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurement. In conjunction with the IPO, the vesting conditions of the performance-based awards were modified to also vest following an IPO and registration and sale of shares by Vista provided that Vista achieves a cash return on its equity investment in the Company equaling or exceeding $1.515 billion. In accordance with ASC 718, we calculated the fair value of these options on the modification date. The value of these options on the date of modification was $33.0 million as of June 30, 2020. As the awards are not currently considered probable of meeting vesting requirements no expense has been recognized, and the timing of any future expense recognition is unknown.	Stock‑based compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), in its accounting and reporting for stock‑based compensation. ASC 718 requires all stock‑based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. All service‑based options outstanding under the Company’s option plans have exercise prices equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of these service options is determined using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The estimated fair value of service‑based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the applicable vesting period. All awards expire after 10 years. The fair value of each grant of service options was determined by the Company using the methods and assumptions discussed below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires judgment to determine. Expected Term — The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to be outstanding. For time-based awards, the estimated expected term of options granted is generally calculated as the vesting period plus the midpoint of the remaining contractual term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations surrounding future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected Volatility — The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities of a group of industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for its common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available. Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury instruments with terms that were consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. Expected Dividend — The expected dividend assumption was based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Fair Value of Common Stock — The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock options has historically been the responsibility of and determined by the Company’s board of directors. Because there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock, the board of directors has used independent third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock, operating and financial performance, and general and industry-specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Expected life of options 6.25 years 6.25 years Expected volatility 45.1 % – 45.3 % 44.8 % – 46.6% Risk-free interest rates 1.6 % – 1.7 % 2.5 % – 2.8% Expected dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ 7.29 $ 2.69 Compensation cost for restricted stock units is determined based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are accounted for when they occur. The Company also grants performance-based awards to certain executives that vest and become exercisable when Vista’s realized cash return on its investment in the Company equals or exceeds $1.515 billion upon a change in control of the Company (“Termination Event”). The terms of the agreement do not specify a performance period for the occurrence of the Termination Event. The contractual term of the awards is 10 years. These options are also referred to as return target options. Since the performance condition relates to a Termination Event, and as a change of control cannot be probable until it occurs, no compensation expense will be recorded until a Termination Event. In 2018, as there is also a market condition with these options based on a return on equity target, the fair value of the awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. In 2019, the Company used a Modified Black-Scholes option pricing model which uses Level 3 inputs for fair value measurement which would yield similar results to the Monte Carlo simulation and simplify the process. Years Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Expected life of options 3 - 3.25 years 4.50 years Expected volatility 50 % – 55 % 55 % Risk-free interest rates 1.49 % – 1.67 % 2.7 % Expected dividend yield — — Weighted-average grant-date fair value $ 6.02 $ 1.91
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and follows a five-step model to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company separates revenue into recurring and non‑recurring categories to disaggregate those revenues that are one‑time in nature from those that are term‑based and renewable. Revenue from recurring and non‑recurring contractual arrangements are as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) SaaS subscription and support and maintenance $ 57,933 $ 41,916 $ 160,989 $ 112,872 On‑premise subscription 7,849 5,135 18,159 12,224 Recurring revenue 65,782 47,051 179,148 125,096 Perpetual licenses 1,017 2,283 3,811 7,381 Professional services 3,605 5,234 10,066 14,529 Non‑recurring revenue 4,622 7,517 13,877 21,910 Total revenue $ 70,404 $ 54,568 $ 193,025 $ 147,006 Contract Balances Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance and services in advance. Changes in contract liabilities, including revenue earned during the period from the beginning contract liability balance and new deferrals of revenue during the period, were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in thousands) Balance, beginning of the period $ 157,738 $ 117,919 $ 140,710 $ 100,662 Revenue earned (50,038) (39,261) (147,324) (116,145) Deferral of revenue 80,538 54,651 194,852 148,792 Balance, end of the period $ 188,238 $ 133,309 $ 188,238 $ 133,309 There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 outside of our sales activities. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancelable amounts to be invoiced. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $199.1 million and $149.5 million, respectively, of remaining performance obligations, with 82% and 86%, respectively, expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Sales commissions as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs on the consolidated balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. Total amortization of contract costs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $2.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Total amortization of contract costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $6.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had two distributors that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to these distributors were $15.2 million at September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had one distributor that accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues. Total receivables related to this distributor were $6.0 million at December 31, 2019.	Revenue recognition The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized in accordance with ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model as follows: · Identify the contract with a customer · Identify the performance obligations in the contract · Determine the transaction price · Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract · Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of SaaS subscriptions, support and maintenance contracts, software licenses, and related professional services. The Company’s products and services are marketed and sold directly, as well as indirectly through third-party resellers, to the end-user. The Company assesses the contract term as the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations. The contract term can differ from the stated term in contracts with certain termination or renewal rights, depending on whether there are substantive penalties associated with those rights. Customer contracts are generally standardized and non-cancelable for the duration of the stated contract term. Nature of Products and Services Subscription: Subscription includes SaaS subscription arrangements which include a promise to allow customers to access software hosted by the Company over the contract period, without allowing the customer to take possession of the software or transfer hosting to a third party. Subscription also includes support and maintenance, which includes when-and-if available software updates and technical support on our perpetual and on-premise subscription licenses. Because the subscription represents a stand-ready obligation to provide a series of distinct periods of access to the subscription, which are all substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, subscriptions are accounted for as a series and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, beginning at the point when the customer is able to use and benefit from the subscription. Services: Services, including training, are often sold as part of new software license or subscription contracts. These services are fulfilled by the Company and with the use of other vendors and do not significantly modify, integrate or otherwise depend on other performance obligations included in the contracts. Services are generally performed over a one- to two-day period and, when sold as part of new software license or subscription contracts, at or near the outset of the related contract. When other vendors participate in the provisioning of the services, the Company recognizes the related revenue on a gross basis as the Company is the principal in these arrangements. Revenue related to services is recognized, as the Company’s performance obligation is fulfilled. Related fulfillment costs are recognized as incurred. License: Licenses include sales of perpetual and on-premise subscription arrangements. Licenses for on-premise software provide the customer with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customer. Revenue from software licenses is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which is typically upon making the software available to the customer. Certain contracts may include explicit options to renew maintenance at a stated price. These options are generally priced in line with the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) and therefore do not provide a material right to the customer. If the option provides a material right to the customer, then the material right is accounted for as a separate performance obligation and the Company recognizes revenue when those future goods or services underlying the option are transferred or when the option expires. Significant Judgments When the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations, the contract transaction price is allocated on a relative SSP basis to each performance obligation. The Company typically determines SSP based on observable selling prices of its products and services. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as with software licenses that are never sold on a stand-alone basis, SSP is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. SSP is typically established as ranges and the Company typically has more than one SSP range for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customer class, channel type, and purchase quantity, among other circumstances. Transaction Price The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to the customer. Revenue from sales is recorded based on the transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price is constrained and is included only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company’s contracts with customers may include service level agreements, which entitle the customer to receive service credits, and in certain cases, service refunds, when defined service levels are not met. These arrangements represent a form of variable consideration, which is included in the calculation of the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the expected value based on its assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance and a review of specific transactions, historical experience, and market and economic conditions. The Company has historically not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined levels of reliability and performance as required by the contracts and therefore, the related amounts are not constrained. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company separates revenue into recurring and non‑recurring categories to disaggregate those revenues that are one‑time in nature from those that are term‑based and renewable. Revenue from recurring and non‑recurring contractual arrangements are as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000's) 2019 2018 SaaS subscription and support and maintenance $ 159,111 $ 100,350 On‑premise subscription 16,078 12,690 Recurring revenue 175,189 113,040 Perpetual licenses 9,830 13,316 Professional services 19,008 20,206 Non‑recurring revenue 28,838 33,522 Total revenue $ 204,027 $ 146,562 Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may not align with the right to invoice the customer. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to issue an invoice and receive payment regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. For multiyear agreements, the Company will either invoice the customer in full at the inception of the contract or annually at the beginning of each annual period. If revenue has not yet been recognized, then a contract liability (deferred revenue) is also recorded. Deferred revenue classified as current on the consolidated balance sheet is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year. Non-current deferred revenue will be fully recognized within five years. If revenue is recognized in advance of the right to invoice, a contract asset is recorded. Contract liabilities consist of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for subscription, support and maintenance and services in advance. Changes in contract liabilities were as follows: Years Ended December 31, ($000's) 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of the period $ 100,662 $ 68,048 Revenue earned (86,220) (54,955) Deferral of revenue 126,268 87,569 Balance, end of the period $ 140,710 $ 100,662 There were no significant changes to our contract assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 outside of our sales activities. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of the right to invoice, the Company has determined that a significant financing component generally does not exist. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the products and services and not to receive financing from or provide financing to the customer. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity not to recognize a significant financing component if the time between the transfer of a good or service and payment is one year or less. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30-days. The Company does not offer rights of return for its products and services in the normal course of business and contracts generally do not include customer acceptance clauses. Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and noncancelable amounts to be invoiced. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $149.5 million of remaining performance obligations, with 86% expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding 12 months, and the remainder expected to be recognized over the three years thereafter. Deferred Contract Costs Sales commissions as well as associated payroll taxes and retirement plan contributions (together, contract costs) that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts, are capitalized using a portfolio approach as deferred contract costs on the consolidated balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense contract costs as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include the portion of the commissions that are expensed in the current period versus the portion of the commissions that are recognized over the expected period of benefit, which often extends beyond the contract term as we do not pay a commission upon renewal of the service contracts. Contract costs are allocated to each performance obligation within the contract and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected benefit period of the related performance obligations. Contract costs are amortized as a component of sales and marketing expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. We have determined that the expected period of benefit is five years based on evaluation of a number of factors, including customer attrition rates, weighted average useful lives of our customer relationship and developed technology intangible assets, and market factors, including overall competitive environment and technology life of competitors. Total amortization of contract costs for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of these deferred contract costs. There were no impairment losses recorded during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted and Adoption of new accounting pronouncements	Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019‑10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative‑effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations related to their leasing arrangements. The update requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets, with the exception of short-term leases if a policy election is made, while recognizing lease expense on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also requires entities to disclose key quantitative and qualitative information about its leasing arrangements. The Company expects to adopt the new lease standard on January 1, 2021 using the optional transition method to the modified retrospective approach. The Company has formed an implementation team, commenced identification of our lease population, and selected new software to manage the lease portfolio and perform the accounting required under the new lease standard. The Company is still assessing the impact of adoption of the new lease standard on the consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides entities with temporary optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020‑04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019‑12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted the standard in the third quarter of 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement — Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018‑13”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASU 2018‑13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date of ASU 2018-13 is the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018‑15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal‑use software under ASC Subtopic 350‑40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any of these arrangements. Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), with an intent to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share‑based payments issued to nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018‑07 provide for the simplification of the measurement of share‑based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Currently, the accounting requirements for nonemployee and employee share‑based payment transactions are significantly different. This standard expands the scope of ASC Topic 718 to include share‑based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services, aligning the accounting for share‑based payments to nonemployees and employees. ASU 2018‑07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any nonemployee share‑based payment awards.	Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016‑13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016‑13”), which introduces a model based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑10 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates (“ASU 2019‑10”). The update allows the extension of the initial effective date for entities which have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”). The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions by recording a cumulative‑effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement — Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018‑13”), which amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASU 2018‑13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption permitted until fiscal year 2021 for the new disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2018‑13 and is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016‑02. The update requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets while recognizing expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current GAAP. The guidance also eliminates current real estate‑specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales‑type and direct financing leases. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates for Certain Entities . The update defers the initial effective date of ASU 2016-02 by one year for private companies and private not-for-profits. For these entities the effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, and the modified retrospective method is to be applied. The Company is currently assessing the timing and impact of adopting the updated provisions. Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019‑12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019‑12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019‑12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The method of adoption varies for the provisions in the update. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020‑04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020‑04”), which provides entities with temporary optional financial reporting alternatives to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform and includes a provision that allows entities to account for a modified contract as a continuation of an existing contract. ASU 2020‑04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of new accounting pronouncements Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others — Internal‑Use Software (Subtopic 350‑40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018‑15”), which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal‑use software under ASC Subtopic 350‑40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018‑15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company adopted the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as the Company does not have any of these arrangements. Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), with an intent to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share‑based payments issued to nonemployees.
