Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Our prospectus dated June 10, 2021 (the “prospectus”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 14, 2021, includes a discussion of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2021. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q S-X. ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. The accompanying financial statements and related notes to the financial statements give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented. See Note 11, “ Shareholders’ Equity” for additional information. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the determination of useful lives and impairment of fixed assets; allowances for doubtful accounts and other receivables; the valuation of deferred tax assets; valuation of forward contracts receivable; valuation of equity based compensation; valuation and impairment of intangibles and goodwill and reserves for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. As of June 30, 2021, the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) (c) Principles of consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no involvement with variable interest entities. (d) Concentration Risk Most of the Company’s customers are located in the United States. Customers outside of the United States are concentrated in Europe and Canada. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the following customers represented greater than 10% of the Company’s service revenue: Service revenue percentage Six months ended June 30, Customer 2021 2020 A 28 % 32 % B 12 % 14 % As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the following customers represented greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable: Accounts receivable percentage Customer June 30, December 31, A 14 % 22 % B 16 % 16 % The Company’s principal operations, including the majority of its employees and the fixed assets owned by its wholly owned subsidiaries, are located in the Philippines. (e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Accordingly, the Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, 2019-12”). 2019-12 2019-12 Recently issued accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, 2016-02 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, 2016-13 | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Forward Stock Split On June 10, 2021, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to effect a ten-for one forward stock split of its outstanding common stock. All authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock have been adjusted in these consolidated financial statements, on a retrospective basis, to reflect the forward stock split for all periods presented. The par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the forward stock split. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the determination of useful lives and impairment of fixed assets; allowances for doubtful accounts and other receivables; the valuation of deferred tax assets; valuation of forward contracts receivable; valuation of equity based compensation; valuation and impairment of intangibles and goodwill and reserves for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. (c) Principles of consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no involvement with variable interest entities. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include TU Midco, Inc. (“Midco”), TU Bidco, Inc. (“Bidco”), TaskUs Holdings, Inc., LizardBear Tasking, Inc., ROHQ (Philippines) (ROHQ), Ridiculously Good Outsourcing Inc. (TaskUs Canada), TaskUs USA, LLC (TaskUs San Antonio), TaskUs, S.A. de C.V. (TaskUs Mexico), TaskUs Limited (TaskUs United Kingdom), TaskUs Holdings, Inc. Taiwan Branch (TaskUs Taiwan), TaskUs India Private Limited (TaskUs India) TaskUs Greece Single Member Private Company, TaskUs Ireland Private Limited (TaskUs Ireland) and TaskUs Colombia SAS (TaskUs Colombia). (d) Segments Operating segments are components of a company for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding on how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer (“CEO”). The CEO reviews financial information presented on an entity level basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Therefore, the Company has determined that it operates in a single operating and reportable segment. (e) Concentration Risk Most of the Company’s customers are located in the United States. Customers outside of the United States are concentrated in Europe, Canada, and Australia. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the following customers represented greater than 10% of the Company’s service revenue or accounts receivable: Service revenue percentage Customer Year ended Year ended A 32 % 35 % B 12 % 11 % C Less than 10 % Less than 10 % Accounts receivable percentage Customer Year ended Year ended A 22 % 15 % B 16 % 12 % C Less than 10 % 10 % The Company’s principal operations, including the majority of its employees and the fixed assets owned by its wholly owned subsidiaries, are located in the Philippines. (f) Translation of Non-U.S. We are subject to foreign currency exposure due to our principal operations being located in the Philippines and operations in various other international locations. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. year-end (g) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded as revenue is recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy and bear interest. Most of our clients pay timely, which results in minimal interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past-due (h) Debt Financing Fees Debt financing fees include costs incurred in connection with obtaining debt financing and are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related credit agreement. Straight line amortization approximates amortization under the effective interest method. The amortization is included in financing expenses in the consolidated statements of income. On the consolidated balance sheets, the debt financing fees related to the undrawn delayed draw loan and revolver loan are included in other noncurrent assets and the debt financing fees related to the term loan are classified as a discount against the associated debt. As of December 31, 2020, amortization of debt financing fees for the next five fiscal years is expected to be as follows: (in thousands) 2021 $ 457 2022 457 2023 457 2024 343 2025 — Total $ 1,714 (i) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (j) Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from our services in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers contract(s) with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies its performance obligations. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when the contract is legally enforceable and when collectability is probable. The Company has executed contracts with customers which detail, among others, the contract terms, obligations and rights of both parties and payment terms. Certain of the Company’s contracts include termination clauses, which the Company evaluates when determining the contract term over which the parties have enforceable rights and obligations. A performance obligation is the unit of account under ASC 606 and represents the distinct services that are promised to the customer. Performance obligations are identified when the contract is created and based on agreed terms and business practices. The transaction price reflects the amount the Company expects to receive in exchange for services to the customer. The expected dollar amount is allocated to each performance obligation based on the standalone selling price agreed with the customer. The Company determines the standalone selling price based on the overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions, cost of performance obligations, and other factors including geographic locations. The Company’s performance obligations are related to providing services to its customers and its customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of those services. Therefore, revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied. Certain of the Company’s contracts include assurance warranty clauses which guarantee that the services provided satisfy certain performance indicators. The assurance warranty does not create a performance obligation. The Company records a liability at the time payment under such assurance warranty clauses is both probable and reasonably estimable. Payments under assurance warranty clauses were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Differences in timing between the delivery of services, billings, and receipt of payment from customers can result in the recognition of certain contract assets and contract liabilities. Revenue recognized in excess of billings is recorded as accrued revenue, and is reported under accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts on the consolidated balance sheet. Billings in excess of revenue recognized is recorded as deferred revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met. Client prepayments (even if nonrefundable) are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet and recognized over future periods as services are delivered or performed. ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with customers non-sales (k) Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. (l) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and any impairment in value. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Expenditures for additions, major improvements, and renewals are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the Company’s assets, generally three During the year ended December 31, 2020, management conducted a review of the Company’s assets due to the shift in its operating model in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this review, the Company extended the useful lives of leasehold improvements from three years to the shorter of five years or lease term, considering the Company’s future use of the underlying real estate to which the leasehold improvements relate. The impact of this change in estimate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was a net increase of $2.5 million and $1.9 million in operating income and net income, respectively, and a net increase of $0.21 per share in earnings per share on a basic and diluted basis. Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment charges were recorded. (m) Intangibles Intangible assets consist of finite-lived intangible assets acquired through the Company’s historical business combination. Such amounts are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method, which reflects the pattern of benefit, and assumes no residual value. Finite-lived intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Finite-lived intangibles are grouped for recognition and measurement of impairment at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. If circumstances require an asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, no impairment charges were recorded. (n) Goodwill Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of the acquired net assets in a business combination exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets on the date of purchase. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired. Effective in 2020, the Company changed its annual goodwill impairment testing date from December 31 to October 1 to better align the testing date with its financial planning process. This change does not accelerate, delay, avoid or cause an impairment charge, nor does this change result in adjustments to previously issued financial statements. We initially assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not more-likely-than-not Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (o) Other Assets Other current assets and other noncurrent assets consist primarily of refundable security deposits and input value added tax. (p) Share-based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation Awards to employees have been granted with service, performance and market conditions that affect vesting. For unvested awards with performance vesting features, the Company assesses the probability of attaining the performance trigger at each reporting period. Awards that are deemed probable of attainment are recognized in expense over the requisite service period of the grant using a graded vesting model. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. (q) Employee Benefits Retirement benefit reserves represent the cumulative amount of remeasurement of the defined benefit liability arising from actuarial gains and losses due to experience and demographic assumptions. The Company also sponsors a 401(k) retirement plan in the US whereby contributions made by eligible employees to the 401(k) are matched by the Company up to 4.0% of compensation. Employer 401(k) expense is the amount of matching contributions and is recognized in expense. Expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. There are no unfunded amounts recorded on the balance sheet. (r) Commitments and Contingencies Liabilities for loss 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 can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. (s) Earnings per share The computation of basic net income per share of common stock (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the period, including shares of common stock that are issuable at the end of the reporting period. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the number of basic weighted-average shares outstanding plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The Company did not have any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, therefore diluted EPS is equal to basic EPS for such periods. (t) Income Taxes Current tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable, respectively, on the tax returns for the current year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The carrying value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is based on whether it is more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets, which the Company does not believe meet the “more likely than not” threshold. The Company’s judgments regarding future taxable income may change over time due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws, tax planning strategies, or other factors. If the Company’s assumptions and, consequently, its estimates, change in the future, the valuation allowance may materially increase or decrease, resulting in a decrease or increase, respectively, in income tax benefit and the related impact on the Company’s reported net income. The Company utilizes a two-step (u) Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company currently qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Accordingly, the Company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity should also disclose sufficient quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method under which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance to open contracts as of December 31, 2018 is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. In assessing the impact of the new standard to its financial statements, the Company analyzed revenue streams for all open contracts with customers, including by reviewing contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that would result from applying the requirements under the new standard. Based on the Company’s analysis of open contracts as of December 31, 2018, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, including its opening balance sheet at the date of initial application, as the timing of revenue recognition under the new standard is not materially different from the Company’s previous revenue recognition policy. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, 2017-04 Recently issued accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, 2016-02 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2023 with early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, 2019-12 2019-12 (v) COVID-19 During the first quarter of 2020, there was a global outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), non-essential COVID-19 In early March, 2020, our business faced challenges in operational enablement across our locations. We mobilized a centralized crisis response team to implement a fully virtual operating model, with a focus on the health and safety of our employees, and continued service for our clients. The shift entailed significant challenges including reconfiguring IT infrastructure and delivering over 14,000 personal computers, laptops and wireless internet cards to a majority of our employees’ homes, under stringent transport restrictions. In addition, we have paused certain on-site On March 27, 2020, in the United States, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 In addition to the operating interventions and CARES Act provisions discussed above, we also conducted a comprehensive review of our cost structure in order to build efficiencies across functions and implemented robust working capital controls to maintain cash conversion and compliance with covenants. While there were costs associated with the transformations mentioned above and certain customer receivables were written-off, (w) Revision of financial statements The Company determined that it had improperly classified the cash outflows related to purchases of property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The improper classification of cash outflows related to purchases of property and equipment resulted in an understatement of net cash flows provided by operating activities and an understatement of net cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The improper classification of cash outflows related to purchases of property and equipment resulted in an overstatement of net cash flows provided by operating activities and an overstatement of net cash flows used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company adjusted the presentation of unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on forward contracts on the statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which had an impact on changes in other receivables, prepaid expenses, and other current assets but no impact to net cash flows provided by operating activities. The Company assessed the materiality of the misstatement resulting from the improper classification of cash outflows related to purchase of property and equipment in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, The error had no impact on the Consolidated Statement of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The impact of these adjustments on the respective line items within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: Year ended December 31, 2020 Year ended December 31, 2019 (in thousands) Previously Reported Adjustments As Revised Previously Reported Adjustments As Revised Cash flows from operating activities: Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities: Unrealized foreign exchange losses (gains) for forward contracts $ — $ 84 $ 84 $ — $ (1,069 ) $ (1,069 ) Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Other receivables, prepaid expenses, and other current assets (3,684 ) (84 ) (3,768 ) (4,771 ) 1,069 (3,702 ) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 5,468 8,067 13,535 (645 ) (1,415 ) 2,060 Net cash provided by operating activities 50,806 8,067 58,873 45,204 (1,415 ) 43,789 Cash flows from investing activities: Purchase of property and equipment (20,816 ) (8,067 ) (28,883 ) (21,460 ) 1,415 (20,045 ) Net cash used in investing activities $ (20,816 ) $ (8,067 ) $ (28,883 ) $ (21,460 ) $ 1,415 $ (20,045 ) |
