Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Revenue from Contracts with Customers We adopted ASC 606 effective on December 31, 2017, the first day of our 2018 fiscal year, using the modified retrospective method. Under the guidance in effect prior to the adoption of ASC 606, we deferred the recognition of revenue and the cost of revenue from certain sales until the distributors of our products reported that they had sold the products to their customers (known as “sell-through” revenue recognition). Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue on sales to all distributors upon shipment and transfer of control. Under ASC 606, we will also recognize certain licensing revenues that were not recognizable under previous GAAP due to the fixed and determinable revenue recognition criteria not being met. As a result of this adoption, we revised our accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below. We recognize revenue under the core principle of depicting the transfer of control to our customers in an amount reflecting the consideration we expect to be entitled. In order to achieve that core principle, we apply the following five step approach, as further described below: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when applicable performance obligations are satisfied. Product Revenue Identify the contract with a customer - Our product revenues consist of sales to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and distributors. We consider customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with a customer. In certain cases we consider firm forecasts that are agreed to by both us and the customer to be contracts. For sales to distributors, we have concluded that our contracts are with the distributor, rather than with the distributor’s end customer, as we hold a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of our consideration of the contract, we evaluate certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk). Identify the performance obligations in the contract - For each contract, we consider our promise to transfer each distinct product to be the identified performance obligations. Determine the transaction price - In determining the transaction price, we evaluate whether the set contract price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which we expect to be entitled. As our standard payment terms are less than one year, we have elected to apply the practical expedient to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. Sales to most distributors are made under terms allowing certain price adjustments and limited rights of return of our products held in their inventory or upon sale to their end customers. Revenue from sales to distributors is recognized upon the transfer of control to the distributor, which generally occurs upon shipment of product to the distributor. Frequently, distributors need to sell at a price lower than the standard distribution price in order to win business. At the time the distributor invoices its customer or soon thereafter, the distributor submits a “ship and debit” price adjustment claim to us to adjust the distributor’s cost from the standard price to the pre-approved lower price. After we verify that the claim was pre-approved, a credit memo is issued to the distributor for the ship and debit claim. In determining the transaction price, we consider ship and debit price adjustments to be variable consideration. Such price adjustments are estimated using the expected value method based on an analysis of historical ship and debit claims, at the distributor and product level, over a period of time considered adequate to account for current pricing and business trends. Any differences between the estimated consideration and the actual amount received from the customer is recorded in the period that the actual consideration becomes known. Most of our distributors are entitled to limited rights of return, referred to as stock rotation, not to exceed 5% of billings, net of returns and ship and debit price adjustments. Stock rotation reserves are based on historical return rates and recorded as a reduction to revenue with a corresponding reduction to cost of goods sold for the estimated cost of inventory that is expected to be returned. Sales to OEMs and certain distributors are made under terms that do not include rights of return or price concessions after we ship the product. Accordingly, the transaction price equals the invoice price and there is no variable consideration. Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract - Because our product revenue contracts generally include the delivery of a certain quantity of semiconductors as the single performance obligation, we do not need to allocate revenue across distinct performance obligations. However, we frequently receive orders for products to be delivered over multiple dates that may extend across several reporting periods. We invoice for each delivery upon shipment and recognize revenues for each distinct product delivered, assuming transfer of control has occurred. Payment term for invoices are generally 30 to 60 days. Recognize revenue when applicable performance obligations are satisfied - Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when our performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment. In determining whether control has transferred, we also consider if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with whether the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. We have certain vendor-managed inventory arrangements with certain OEM customers whereby we ship product into an inventory hub location but for which control does not transfer until the customer consumes the inventory. In such cases revenue is recognized upon customer consumption. Licensing and Services Revenue Identify the contract with a customer - Our licensing and services revenue is comprised of revenue from our intellectual property ("IP") core licensing activity, patent monetization activities, and royalty and adopter fee revenue from our standards activities. These activities are complementary to our product sales and help us monetize our IP and accelerate marketing adoption curves associated with our technology and standards. We consider licensing arrangements with our customers to be the contract. Identify the performance obligations in the contract - For each contract, we consider the promise to deliver a license that grants the customer the right to use the IP as well as any professional services provided under the contract, as distinct performance obligations. Determine the transaction price - Our HDMI and MHL standards revenue, as well as certain IP licenses, include variable consideration in the form of usage-based royalties. We apply the provisions of ASC 606 in accounting for these types of arrangements, whereby we do not include estimated royalties in the transaction price at the origination of the contract but rather recognize royalty revenue as usage occurs. HDMI royalty revenue is determined by a contractual allocation formula agreed to by the Founders of the HDMI consortium. The contractual allocation formula is subject to periodic adjustment, generally every three years. The most recent royalty sharing formula covered the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, and an interim agreement covering the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 was signed in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. However, a new agreement covering the period beginning January 1, 2018 is yet to be signed. While a new royalty sharing agreement is being negotiated with the other Founders of the HDMI consortium, the HDMI agent is unable to distribute the majority of the royalties collected to the Founders. We are recording revenue based on our estimated share of the royalties. This estimate will be adjusted once the Founders finalize the agreement. Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract - For contracts that include multiple performance obligations (most commonly those that include licenses and professional services), we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each obligation. The judgments regarding the allocation of revenue on licensing arrangements are not material to our financial statements. Recognize revenue when applicable performance obligations are satisfied - We recognize license revenue at the point in time that control of the license transfers to the customer, which is generally upon delivery. We recognize professional service revenue as we perform the services. Royalty revenues are recognized as customers sell products that include our IP and are legally obligated to remit royalties to us. We receive payments from customers based on contractual billing schedules. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30 days. Impact on Financial Statements We adopted ASC 606 on December 31, 2017 using the modified retrospective method. Under this transition method, we applied the provisions of the new standard to all open customer contracts as of the date of adoption and recorded the cumulative effect of adoption to Accumulated Deficit on December 31, 2017. We have not restated any prior financial statements presented. ASC 606 requires us to disclose the effect of adoption on each financial statement line item in the current reporting period during 2018 as compared to the guidance that was in effect in 2017, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. Such information is as follows: Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations Three months ended June 30, 2018 Six months ended June 30, 2018 (In thousands, except per share data) As reported under new standard Adjustments Pro forma as if previous standard was in effect As reported under new standard Adjustments Pro forma as if previous standard was in effect Product revenue 98,294 (4,084 ) 94,210 193,403 (12,349 ) 181,054 Licensing and services revenue 4,421 4,399 8,820 7,935 3,187 11,122 Cost of product revenue 52,208 (1,725 ) 50,483 94,310 (5,544 ) 88,766 Net (loss) income (20,223 ) 2,040 (18,183 ) (26,175 ) (3,618 ) (29,793 ) Net (loss) income per share, basic and diluted (0.16 ) 0.01 (0.15 ) (0.21 ) (0.03 ) (0.24 ) Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets As of June 30, 2018 (In thousands) As reported under new standard Adjustments Pro forma as if previous standard was in effect Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts 76,566 9,561 86,127 Inventories 65,586 (615 ) 64,971 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 21,729 (4,472 ) 17,257 Total assets 623,204 4,474 627,678 Accounts payable and accrued expenses (includes restructuring) 53,500 (28 ) 53,472 Deferred income and allowances on sales to distributors — 35,521 35,521 Accumulated deficit (476,636 ) (31,019 ) (507,655 ) Total liabilities and stockholders' equity 623,204 4,474 627,678 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Six months ended June 30, 2018 (In thousands) As reported under new standard Adjustments Pro forma as if previous standard was in effect Cash flows from operating activities: Net loss (26,175 ) (3,618 ) (29,793 ) Accounts receivable, net (19,654 ) (11,369 ) (31,023 ) Inventories 14,687 245 14,932 Prepaid expenses and other assets (7,891 ) (3,043 ) (10,934 ) Accounts payable and accrued expenses (includes restructuring) 7,095 (486 ) 6,609 Deferred income and allowances on sales to distributors — 18,271 18,271 The significant impacts of the new standard were to accelerate the recognition of revenues on both sales to certain distributors and certain licensing activities. As a result of adopting this standard, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $27.4 million as a reduction to Accumulated deficit on December 31, 2017, resulting primarily from $20.2 million of previously deferred distributor revenues and costs and $6.6 million of previously unrecognized licensing revenues. Other matters We generally provide an assurance warranty that our products will substantially conform to the published specifications for twelve months from the date of shipment. In some case the warranty period may be longer than twelve months. We do not separately price or sell the assurance warranty. Our liability is limited to either a credit equal to the purchase price or replacement of the defective part. Returns under warranty have historically been immaterial. As such, we do not record a specific warranty reserve or consider activities related to such warranty, if any, to be a separate performance obligation. Under the practical expedient provided by ASC 340, we generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been less than one year. We record these costs within selling, general and administrative expenses. Substantially all of our performance obligations are satisfied within twelve months. Accordingly, under the optional exemption provided by ASC 606, we do not disclose revenues allocated to future performance obligations of partially completed contracts. We do not have any material contract liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2018 . Contract assets relate to our rights to consideration for licenses and royalties due to us as a member of the HDMI consortium, with collection dependent on events other than the passage of time, such as collection of licenses and royalties from customers by the HDMI licensing agent and the finalization of a new royalty sharing agreement. The contract assets are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and they are transferred to Accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. As a result of the signing of the HDMI Founders royalty sharing agreement for 2017, we received $6.4 million in cash during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 for fiscal 2017 HDMI royalties. Collection of this amount had no impact on our reported revenues and was recorded as a reduction to the contract asset. The following table summarizes the activity for our contract assets during the first six months of fiscal 2018: (In thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 7,515 Revenues recorded during the period 4,711 Transferred to accounts receivable or collected (7,754 ) Balance as of June 30, 2018 $ 4,472 Disaggregation of revenue The following tables provide information about revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by major class of revenue and by geographical market, based on ship-to location of the end customer, where available, and ship-to location of distributor otherwise: Major Class of Revenue Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In thousands) June 30, July 1, June 30, July 1, Product revenue - Distributors 88,790 71,570 174,747 145,650 Product revenue - Direct 9,504 11,598 18,656 30,187 Licensing and services revenue 4,421 10,969 7,935 22,887 Total revenue 102,715 94,137 201,338 198,724 Revenue by Geographical Market Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In thousands) June 30, July 1, June 30, July 1, Asia 77,899 64,946 149,820 138,404 Europe 12,162 10,579 24,304 21,659 Americas 12,654 18,612 27,214 38,661 Total revenue 102,715 94,137 201,338 198,724 * As noted above, prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective method of adopting ASC 606 and, therefore, are presented under GAAP in effect during that period. |
