Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. For revenue recognition, examples of estimates and judgments include: determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations, estimating variable consideration such as sales incentives and product returns. Other estimates include the warranty reserve, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, intangible assets and other long-lived assets valuation, legal contingencies, stock-based compensation, income taxes, deferred tax assets valuation and developed software, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including any effects of the ongoing pandemic and the economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of two components: net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to net gains and losses that are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses included in net income are recorded within operating expenses. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) totaled $(0.9) million, $(0.3) million, and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and are stated at fair value. The Company also classifies amounts in transit from payment processors for credit card and debit card transactions as cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amounts less estimates for credit losses. Management determines the allowance for credit losses by specifically identifying troubled accounts and by using historical write off experience, adjusted for current market conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, applied to an aging of all other accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts receivable consist of the following: December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Trade accounts receivable $ 194,757 $ 161,070 Other receivables 6,205 2,218 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts (1,454) (357) Total accounts receivable, net $ 199,508 $ 162,931 The movements in the allowance for credit losses were not material for any of the periods presented. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in deposit accounts at financial institutions that, at times, may significantly exceed federally insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses related to such accounts. The Company’s non-interest bearing cash balances at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were fully insured up to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and the Company’s non-interest bearing cash balances may significantly exceed federally insured limits. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, generally does not require collateral and considers the credit risk profile of the customer from which the receivable is due in further evaluating collection risk. The Company maintains allowances for possible losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations. If one or more of the Company’s significant customers were to become insolvent or were otherwise unable to pay for product purchased, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of consolidated operations. Customers that accounted for 10% or greater of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 Customer A 23 % 21 % Customer B * 16 % Customer C 12 % 22 % Customer D * 10 % * Accounts receivable was less than 10%. Customers with revenue equal to or greater than 10% of total revenue for the periods indicated were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Customer A 11 % * 12 % Customer B * 11 % 11 % Customer C 10 % 14 % * Customer D 14 % 14 % 21 % * Revenue was less than 10%. The revenue from these customers is associated with the Connected Machines and Accessories and Materials segments. Supplier Concentration The Company relies on third parties for the supply and manufacture of its products, as well as third-party logistics providers. In instances where these parties fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers or satisfactorily deliver its products to its customers on time, if at all. Substantially all of the Company’s products are manufactured by outsourcing partners that are located primarily in Asia. We rely on single source, or a small number of suppliers. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s top two vendors accounted for approximately 76% of total finished goods purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s top two vendors accounted for approximately 73% of total finished goods purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s top three vendors accounted for approximately 84% of total finished goods purchases. Inventories Inventories, which primarily consist of finished goods, are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Assessments to value the inventory at the lower of the average cost to purchase the inventory, or the net realizable value of the inventory, are based upon assumptions about future demand, physical deterioration, changes in price levels and market conditions. As a result of the Company’s assessments, when the net realizable value of inventory is less than the carrying value, the inventory cost is written down to the net realizable value and the write down is recorded as a charge to cost of revenue. Inventories include indirect acquisition and production costs that are incurred to bring the inventories to their present condition and location. Inventories are recorded net of reserves for obsolescence. Once established, the original cost of the inventory less the related inventory reserve represents the new cost basis of such products. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. Manufacturing tools include tools and molds used in the production process. Expenditures for tools and molds are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We capitalize certain software development costs in the application development stage in accordance with ASC 350-40, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” and upon the establishment of technological feasibility for a product in accordance with ASC 985-20, “Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The Company uses the following estimated useful lives: Computer software, software development costs and equipment 3-5 years Furniture and fixtures 5-7 years Manufacturing tools and equipment 3-5 years Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or remaining life of the asset Leases As described in “ Recently adopted accounting standards” below, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) effective January 1, 2021. Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether it has the right to control the identified asset. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable. As the implicit rate in the Company's leases is generally unknown, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The Company gives consideration to its credit risk, term of the lease, total lease payments and adjusts for the impacts of collateral, as necessary, when calculating its incremental borrowing rates. The Company evaluates renewal options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis, and includes renewal options that it is reasonably certain to exercise in its expected lease terms when classifying leases and measuring lease liabilities. Lease costs for the Company's operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses and cost of revenue over the reasonably assured lease term. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for leases of office space and, as a result, accounts for any lease and non-lease components for office space as a single lease component, to the extent they are fixed. Non-lease components that are not fixed are expensed as incurred as variable lease payments. The Company’s office leases typically include non-lease components such as common-area maintenance costs. The Company has also elected to not apply the recognition requirement to any leases within its existing classes of assets with a term of 12 months or less. Legal Contingencies Liabilities for legal contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss or states that such an estimate cannot be made. See Note 12. Debt Issuance Costs Third-party costs incurred to obtain debt financing are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the debt instruments. Costs incurred by the lender and paid by the Company for term debt are recorded as a reduction of the debt proceeds (debt discount) and are amortized to interest expense (see Note 8). Costs incurred by the lender and paid by the Company for the revolver debt are recorded as other assets and amortized over the term of the revolver using the straight-line method. Deferred Offering Costs The Company recorded deferred offering costs of $1.9 million as other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and consist of costs incurred in connection with the Company’s IPO, including legal, accounting, printing and other IPO-related costs. Upon completion of the IPO, these deferred offering costs were reclassified to stockholders’ equity and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, on an annual basis or when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. The Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment and relies on a number of factors, including results of operations, business plans, economic projections and anticipated future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to the consolidated statement of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, the Company recorded no impairments relating to amortized intangible assets. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.7 million in impairment within sales and marketing expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations relating to its amortized intangible assets (see Note 6). During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded no impairments for certain property and equipment (see Note 5). Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. At December 31, 2021, and 2020, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair Value Measurement The Company measures at fair value certain of its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities by using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is 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, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. Fair value is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability, the characteristics specific to the asset or liability and the state of the marketplace including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. The Company estimates fair value for the assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. • Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the reporting date. • Level II – Significant other observable inputs (e.g., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves and market-corroborated inputs). Pricing inputs are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. • Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets and liabilities and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets and liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, which include intangible assets and property and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, based upon a comparison of the non-financial instrument’s fair value to its carrying value, an impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the fair value, if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The inputs for fair value calculations of intangible assets and property and equipment, would be based on Level 3 inputs as data used for such fair value calculations would be based on discounted cash flows that are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly. The key variables that drive the discounted cash flow analysis are estimated revenue growth rates, levels of profitability, the terminal value growth rate assumptions and the weighted average cost of capital rate applied, among others. No long-lived assets were measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis were not material at each of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Money market funds are highly liquid investments and are actively traded. The pricing information for the Company’s money market funds are readily available and can be independently validated as of the measurement date. This approach results in the classification of these securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 for any of the periods presented. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held $197.8 million and $106.0 million in money market funds, respectively, with no unrealized gains or losses. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is computed using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of losses, of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, other than voting rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of profits are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting net income per share will, therefore, be the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period are determined under the treasury stock method. Revenue Recognition The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the sale of connected machines, digital content subscriptions and accessories and materials. The Company markets and sells its products to customers, which include brick-and-mortar and online retail partners as well as users that purchase from the Company’s website at cricut.com. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; • Determination of the transaction price; • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and • Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns, volume rebates and sales incentives or discounts. The estimates of variable consideration are based on historical return experience, historical and projected sales data and current contract terms. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities performed after a customer obtains control of the goods as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. The Company does not incur significant costs to obtain contracts with customers. The following describes the nature of the Company’s primary types of revenue and the revenue recognition policies and significant payment terms as they pertain to the types of transactions with its customers. Connected Machines Connected machines include the Cricut Joy, Cricut Explore and Cricut Maker machine architectures. Payment for sale of products online through the online channel at cricut.com is collected at point of sale in advance of shipping the products. Payment by traditional brick-and-mortar retail partners, including their online channels, is due under customary fixed payment terms. The Company’s contracts with customers for a connected machine contain multiple promises that include hardware, software, unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the software and access to the Company’s cloud-based services. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. The Company’s software used to design, cut and complete projects can be accessed offline or with the cloud-based services at no charge. When accessed with the cloud-based services, users are also able to sync projects across various devices. The connected machines are not able to function without the software, inclusive of firmware and the downloadable software. Together the hardware and software are inputs into providing the essential functionality of the connected machines and are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized for the single performance obligation of hardware with essential software at a point-in-time when control is transferred, which is either upon shipment or delivery of goods, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. The promise to provide the customer with unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the essential software and the promise to provide access to the Company’s cloud-based services are both distinct performance obligations that provide incremental benefits to the connected machines and are recognized using a time-based output measure over the service period as the customer consumes the benefit of the service each day. The Company estimates the service period since it is not contractually stated. In developing the estimated period of providing future services, the Company considers past history, plans to continue to provide services, expected technological developments, obsolescence, competition and other factors. The estimated service period may change in the future in response to competition, technology developments and the Company’s business strategy. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on their relative SSP. The Company estimates SSP for items that are not sold separately, which include the connected machines and related software, unspecified software upgrades and cloud-based services using information that may include the range of prices for the bundle of products and services and the cost of providing the products or services plus a reasonable margin. In developing SSP estimates, the Company also considers the nature of the products and services and the expected level of future services. SSP of the hardware and essential software reflects the Company’s best estimate of the selling price if it was sold regularly on a standalone basis and comprises the majority of the contract value. Subscriptions The Company’s paid subscription services relate to Cricut Access and Cricut Access Premium which provide users access to images, fonts and projects, which is in addition to the free service of unspecified future upgrades and enhancements related to the essential software and access to the Company’s cloud-based services noted above. The paid subscription services are offered on a month-to-month or annual basis. Payments for subscription services are due month-to-month or annually in advance. Cricut Access and Cricut Access Premium are generally sold in standalone contracts and reallocations are not required. Revenue related to subscriptions is recognized ratably over the length of the subscription using a time-based output measure as the customer consumes the benefit of the service each day. Accessories and Materials The Company also sells accessories and materials (both physical and digital) which generally consist of a single performance obligation and reallocations are not required. Revenue from accessories and materials is recognized at a point-in-time when control is transferred, either upon shipment or delivery of goods, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer, or in the case of digital goods, at a point-in-time when the goods are made available to the customer. Payment for sale of accessories and materials through the online channel at cricut.com is collected at point of sale in advance of shipping the products. Payment by traditional brick-and-mortar retail partners, including their online channels, is due under customary fixed payment terms. Cost of Revenue Connected Machines Cost of revenue related to Connected Machines consists of product costs, including costs of contract manufacturers for production, inspecting and packaging, shipping, receiving, handling, warehousing and fulfillment, duties and other applicable importing costs, warranty replacement, excess and obsolete inventory write-downs, tooling and equipment depreciation and royalties. Subscriptions Cost of revenue related to Subscriptions consists primarily of hosting fees, digital content costs, amortization of capitalized software development costs and software maintenance costs. Accessories and Materials Costs of revenue related to Accessories and Materials consists of product costs, including costs of components, costs of contract manufacturers for production, inspecting and packaging, shipping, receiving, handling, warehousing and fulfillment, duties and other applicable importing costs, warranty replacement, excess and obsolete inventory write-downs, tooling and equipment depreciation and royalties. Customer Rebates The Company recognizes revenue at the net sales price, which includes certain estimates for variable consideration related to customer rebates with our key brick-and-mortar and online retail partners. These promotional programs are designed to enhance the sale of the Company’s products and consist of incentives to the Company’s customers. The promotional programs include advertising and product damage allowances, volume/growth and business development incentives and point-of-sale support. Sales incentives are considered to be variable consideration, which the Company estimates using the expected value method or most likely amount, based upon the nature of the incentive. Sales are reduced by the cost of these promotional and rebate programs and the Company records a related customer rebate liability in its consolidated balance sheets at the date of the transaction. Certain customer rebate programs are estimates at period end due to the nature of the incentives or expected and yet-to-be announced incentive programs that apply to current period revenue transactions. These estimates are based on the Company’s incentive program experience, historical and projected sales data and current contractual terms. The remaining portion of this liability is based on contractual amounts and does not require estimation. In limited cases where the customer rebate is specifically for co-operative marketing or advertising campaigns, the Company classifies these expenditures as selling and marketing expenses only if they meet the criteria of being a distinct good or service, are distinct within the context of the contract and the fair value is readily estimable. Sales Refund Liability The Company provides its customers a limited right of return with the sale of its products. The Company estimates sales returns and records reserves at the time the related sales are recorded based on historical data and current economic trends. Actual sales returns could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts the estimate of accrued sales returns by updating the return rates for actual trends and projected costs. The Company classifies the estimated sales returns as a current liability as they are expected to be paid out in less than one year using the expected-value method. The estimated sales returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time of sale and recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets. At the same time this is recorded, a right of recovery asset is also recorded within inventory. Changes in the reserve for sales refunds were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 3,515 $ 941 Additions that reduced net revenue 15,889 8,664 Deductions from reserves for current year returns (11,578) (6,090) Balance at end of period $ 7,826 $ 3,515 Warranty Reserves The Company provides an assurance-type limited warranty on most of the products sold. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of revenue, are based on the results of product testing, industry and historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred and are adjusted for any current or expected trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs. Changes in the reserve for product warranties were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Warranty reserve, beginning of period $ 1,284 $ 633 Additions charged to cost of revenue 7,261 2,683 Repairs and replacements (6,147) (2,032) Warranty reserve, end of period $ 2,398 $ 1,284 Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As such, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. On a periodic basis, the Company assesses the probability that its deferred tax assets, if any, will be recovered. If after evaluating all of the positive and negative evidence, a conclusion is made that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is provided by a charge to tax expense to reserve the portion of the deferred tax assets which are not expected to be realized. Under literature related to uncertain tax provisions, the Company reviews its filing positions for all open tax years in all U.S. federal a |
