The Company’s revenues are derived from four product/service channels. Presented in the table below is the breakout of our revenue streams for each of those product/service channels for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 . Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (dollar amounts in thousands) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Exchanges $ 64,130 $ 52,016 $ 177,117 $ 151,424 Broker Systems 3,715 3,557 11,098 10,654 Risk Compliance Solutions (“RCS”) 24,265 18,076 68,780 53,489 Carrier Systems 690 959 2,295 2,681 Totals $ 92,800 $ 74,608 $ 259,290 $ 218,248 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation— The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") with the effect of inter-company balances and transactions eliminated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and SEC rules have been condensed or omitted as permitted by and pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future quarters or the full year of 2017. The condensed consolidated December 31, 2016 balance sheet included in this interim period filing has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not necessarily include all of the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . Reclassification- As part of the Wdev Solucoes em Technologia SA ("Wdev") acquisition $2.9 million of the upfront cash consideration is being held in an escrow account for the thirty-eight month period following the effective date of the acquisition to ensure that the acquired business achieves the minimum specified annual net revenue threshold, which if not achieved will result in said funds being returned to Ebix. This amount which was previously reported in "Restricted Cash" on our December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheets, is now being reported in "Other Assets" line in the long term asset section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of December 31, 2016 there was $14.4 million of restricted fiduciary funds associated with the EbixHealth JV that pertain to un-remitted insurance premiums and claim funds established for the benefit of various carriers which are held in a fiduciary capacity until disbursed. This amount which was previously reported in "Restricted Cash" on our December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheets, is now being reported in "Fiduciary funds- restricted" line in the short term asset section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets Advertising —With the exception of certain direct-response costs, advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $4.4 million and $4.7 million in the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the first nine months of 2017 and 2016 reported sales and marketing expenses included $3.0 million and $3.1 million , respectively, of amortization of certain direct-response advertising costs associated with our medical education services, which have been capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 340. These costs are being amortized to advertising expense over periods ranging from twelve to twenty-four months based on the type of product the customer purchased. Deferred advertising costs amounted to $2.4 million and $2.8 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively, and are included in other current assets and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Fair Value of Financial Instruments— The Company follows the relevant GAAP guidance concerning fair value measurements which provides a consistent framework to define, measure, and disclose the fair value of assets and liabilities in financial statements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction. This guidance establishes a three-level hierarchy priority for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The ordering of priority reflects the degree to which objective data from external active markets are available to measure fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. The classifications are as follows: • Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments to the reporting entity at the measurement date. • Level 2 Inputs - Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs, which are used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, and used in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability and wherein the reporting entity makes estimates and assumptions related to the pricing of the asset or liability including assumptions regarding risk. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2017 the Company had the following financial instruments to which it had to consider fair values and had to make fair value assessments: • Short-term investments for which the fair values are measured as a Level 1 instrument. • Contingent accrued earn-out business acquisition consideration liabilities for which fair values are measured as Level 3 instruments. These contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3. Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017 but which require disclosure of their fair values include: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related benefits, capital lease obligations, and the revolving line of credit and term loan debt under the syndicated credit agreement facility with Regions Financial Corporation. The Company believes that the estimated fair value of such instruments at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 approximates their carrying value as reported on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additional information regarding the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis is presented in the following tables: Fair Values at Reporting Date Using* Descriptions Balance, September 30, 2017 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) (In thousands) Assets Available-for-sale securities: Commercial bank certificates of deposits ($2.6 million is recorded in the long term asset section of the consolidated balance sheets in "Other Assets") $ 8,091 $ 8,091 $ — $ — Total assets measured at fair value $ 8,091 $ 8,091 $ — $ — Liabilities Derivatives: Contingent accrued earn-out acquisition consideration (a) $ 39,179 $ — $ — $ 39,179 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ 39,179 $ — $ — $ 39,179 (a) The income valuation approach is applied and the valuation inputs include the contingent payment arrangement terms, projected cash flows, rate of return, and probability assessments. * During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 there were no transfers between fair value Levels 1, 2 or 3.

For the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each category therein, and gains or losses recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and during the year ended December 31, 2016 : Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Contingent Liability for Accrued Earn-out Acquisition Consideration September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 (in thousands) Beginning balance $ 8,510 $ 4,277 Total remeasurement adjustments: Gains included in earnings ** (164 ) (1,344 ) Increases (Reductions) recorded against goodwill (3,432 ) (664 ) Foreign currency translation adjustments *** 153 (208 ) Acquisitions and settlements Business acquisitions 34,112 6,449 Ending balance $ 39,179 $ 8,510 The amount of total (gains) losses for the period included in earnings or changes to net assets, attributable to changes in unrealized gains relating to assets or liabilities still held at period-end. Vertex earnout period expired in the third quarter of 2016 and gain was realized. $ — $ (624 ) ** recorded as a reduction to reported general and administrative expenses *** recorded as a component of other comprehensive income within stockholders' equity Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities designated as Level 3 are as follows: (in thousands) Fair Value at September 30, 2017 Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Input Contingent acquisition consideration: (Qatarlyst, Wdev, and ItzCash acquisition) $39,179 Discounted cash flow Projected revenue and probability of achievement (in thousands) Fair Value at December 31, 2016 Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Input Contingent acquisition consideration: (Qatarlyst and Wdev acquisitions) $8,510 Discounted cash flow Projected revenue and probability of achievement Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions are projected revenue forecasts as developed by the relevant members of Company's management team and the probability of achievement of those revenue forecasts. Significant increases (decreases) in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. The Company applies these terms in its calculation and determination of the fair value of contingent earn out liabilities for purchased businesses as part of the related valuation and purchase price allocation exercise for the corresponding acquired assets and liabilities. During 2017 and 2016, certain of the Company's contingent earn out liabilities were adjusted because of changes to anticipated future revenues from these acquired businesses, or as a result of finalizing purchase price allocations that were previously provisional. Revenue Recognition— The Company derives its revenues primarily from subscription and transaction fees pertaining to services delivered over our exchanges or from our application service provider ("ASP") platforms, fees for risk compliance solution services, and fees for software development projects including associated fees for consulting, implementation, training, and project management provided to customers with installed systems and applications. Sales and value-added taxes are not included in revenues, but rather are recorded as a liability until the taxes assessed are remitted to the respective taxing authorities. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) and SEC accounting guidance on revenue recognition, the Company considers revenue earned and realizable when: (a) persuasive evidence of the sales arrangement exists, provided that the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable, (b) delivery or performance has occurred, (c) customer acceptance has been received or is assured, if contractually required, and (d) collectability of the arrangement fee is probable. The Company uses signed contractual agreements as persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement. We apply the provisions of the relevant generally accepted accounting principles related to all transactions involving the license of software where the software deliverables are considered more than inconsequential to the other elements in the arrangement. For contracts that contain multiple deliverables, we analyze the revenue arrangements in accordance with the relevant technical accounting guidance, which provides criteria governing how to determine whether goods or services that are delivered separately in a bundled sales arrangement should be considered as separate units of accounting for the purpose of revenue recognition. These types of arrangements include deliverables pertaining to software licenses, system set-up, and professional services associated with product customization or modification. Delivery of the various contractual elements typically occurs over periods of less than eighteen months . These arrangements generally do not have refund provisions or have very limited refund terms. Software development arrangements involving significant customization, modification or production are accounted for in accordance with the appropriate technical accounting guidance issued by FASB using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company recognizes revenue using periodic reported actual hours worked as a percentage of total expected hours required to complete the project arrangement and applies the percentage to the total arrangement fee. Financial exchange revenue consists largely of transaction-based fees and fees from corporate and retail gift vouchers. The transaction-based fees are primarily based on a percentage of payment value processed for solutions such as retail and corporate payments, domestic money transfers, and general purpose reloadable cards. Transaction-based fees are recognized at the completion of the transaction. Gift voucher revenue is recognized at full purchase value at time of sale with the corresponding cost of vouchers recorded under direct expenses. Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts— Reported accounts receivable include $76.7 million of trade receivables stated at invoice billed amounts and $26.1 million of unbilled receivables, net of the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable in the amount of $3.6 million . The unbilled receivables pertain to certain projects for which the timing of billing is tied to contractual milestones. The Company adheres to such contractually stated performance milestones and accordingly issues invoices to customers as per contract billing schedules. Approximately $4.9 million of deferred revenue is included in billed accounts receivable at September 30, 2017 . The Company recognized and recorded bad debt expense in the amount of $385 thousand and $1.1 million for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and $243 thousand and $700 thousand for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance account when the Company has exhausted all reasonable collection efforts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , $513 thousand of accounts receivable, which had been specifically reserved for in prior periods, were written off. Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets— Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets represent the fair value of certain acquired contractual customer relationships for which future cash flows are expected to continue indefinitely. In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would likely have reduced the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Potential impairment indicators include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, and the sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business. The impairment evaluation process involves an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units was less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we were to determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would not perform the two-step quantitative impairment testing described further below. The aforementioned two-step quantitative testing process involves comparing the reporting unit carrying values to their respective fair values; we determine fair value of our reporting units by applying the discounted cash flow method using the present value of future estimated net cash flows. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if a reporting unit's fair value were to be less than its carrying value, we would then determine the amount of the impairment charge, if any, which would be the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeded its implied value. Projections of cash flows are based on our views of growth rates, operating costs, anticipated future economic conditions and the appropriate discount rates relative to risk and estimates of residual values. We believe that our estimates are consistent with assumptions that marketplace participants would use in their estimates of fair value. The use of different estimates or assumptions for our projected discounted cash flows (e.g., growth rates, future economic conditions, discount rates and estimates of terminal values) when determining the fair value of our reporting units could result in different values and may result in a goodwill impairment charge. In 2016 the goodwill residing in the Broker Systems reporting unit and the Carrier Systems reporting unit, were evaluated for impairment based on an assessment of certain qualitative factors, and were determined not to have been impaired. In 2016 the goodwill residing in the Exchange reporting unit and the RCS reporting unit were evaluated for impairment using step-one of the quantitative testing process described above. The fair value of both of these reporting units were found to be greater than their carrying value, and thusly there was no need to proceed to step-two, as there was no impairment indicated. In specific regards to the RCS reporting unit, its assessed fair value was $130.0 million which was $36.8 million or 39% in excess of its $93.2 million carrying value. Key assumptions used in the fair value determination were annual revenue growth of 5% to 15% and discount rate of 15% . As of September 30, 2016 there was $68.3 million of goodwill assigned to the RCS reporting unit. A significant reduction in future revenues for the RCS reporting unit would negatively affect the fair value determination for this unit and may result in an impairment to goodwill and a corresponding charge against earnings. We perform our annual goodwill impairment evaluation and testing as of September 30th of each year. This evaluation is done during the fourth quarter each year. During the year ended December 31, 2016 we had no impairment of our reporting unit goodwill balances. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 are reflected in the following table. September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 (In thousands) Beginning Balance $ 441,404 $ 402,259 Additions (see Note 3) 127,974 35,787 Purchase accounting adjustments (11,342 ) 4,298 Foreign currency translation adjustments 1,127 (940 ) Ending Balance $ 559,163 $ 441,404 Capitalized Software Development Costs —In accordance with the relevant FASB accounting guidance regarding the development of software to be sold, leased, or marketed, the Company expenses such costs as they are incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at and after which time those costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Costs incurred to enhance our software products, after general market release of the services using the products, are expensed in the period they are incurred. Finite-lived Intangible Assets— Purchased intangible assets represent the estimated acquisition date fair value of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and non-compete agreements obtained in connection with the businesses we acquire. We amortize these intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows: Category Life (yrs) Customer relationships 7–20 Developed technology 3–12 Trademarks 3–15 Non-compete agreements 5 Backlog 1.2 Database 10 The carrying value of finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows: September 30, December 31, (In thousands) Finite-lived intangible assets: Customer relationships $ 77,494 $ 71,338 Developed technology 21,338 16,011 Trademarks 2,695 2,666 Non-compete agreements 764 764 Backlog 140 140 Database 212 212 Total intangibles 102,643 91,131 Accumulated amortization (55,632 ) (49,795 ) Finite-lived intangibles, net $ 47,011 $ 41,336 Indefinite-lived intangibles: Customer/territorial relationships $ 38,694 $ 30,887 Amortization expense recognized in connection with acquired intangible assets was $1.8 million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively, and $1.7 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. Foreign Currency Translation— The functional currency for the Company's foreign subsidiaries in India, Dubai, and Singapore is the U.S. dollar because the intellectual property research and development activities provided by its Dubai and Singapore subsidiaries, and the product development and information technology enabled services activities for the insurance industry provided by its India subsidiary, both in support of the Company's operating divisions across the world, are transacted in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company's other foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. The assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses that are derived from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary's functional currency are included in the determination of net income. Income Taxes— Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets, liabilities, operating losses, and tax credit carry forwards using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Valuation allowances, if any, are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount management considers more likely than not to be realized. Such valuation allowances are recorded for the portion of the deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized based on the levels of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences will be deductible. The Company also applies the relevant FASB accounting guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes positions. This guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. In this regard we recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has applied the provisions under FASB update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry Forward, A Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry Forward Exists. Under these provisions, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward in most cases. This provision has been applied beginning in 2014 resulting in $341 thousand of unrecognized tax benefits that have been applied against both the NOL carry forward amounts as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Recent Relevant Accounting Pronouncements— The following is a brief discussion of recently released accounting pronouncements that are pertinent to the Company's business: In January 2017 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities). Instead, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. A public business entity filer should adopt the amendments in this ASU for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company has yet to assess the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on Ebix's consolidated income statement and balance sheet. In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business" which amended the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The standard provides additional guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company has yet to assess the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on Ebix's consolidated income statement and balance sheet In November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230) Restricted Cash" amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. In October 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" . Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This prohibition on recognition is an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in GAAP. The amendments specified by ASU 2016-16 require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. Two common examples of assets included in the scope of the |
