Basis of Preparation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules that would ordinarily be required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company changed the presentation in describing the changes in operating assets and liabilities by combining the lines for Accrued expenses, Other current liabilities, and Other non-current liabilities into a single line item. The Company further combined Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets into a single line item. Both the original and new presentations are in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and the change was applied retrospectively solely to enhance the comparability with the current Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Use of Estimates and Judgments in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and judgments are inherent in the analysis and measurement of items including, but not limited to: revenue recognition criteria including the determination of principal versus agent revenue considerations, income taxes, the valuation and recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the assessment of potential loss from contingencies, assumptions in valuing acquired assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates. These estimates are based on the information available as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU No. 2016-02"). This guidance amends the existing accounting considerations and treatments for leases through the creation of Topic 842, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from such leases.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, ("ASU No. 2018-10”) to further clarify, correct and consolidate various areas previously discussed in ASU 2016-02. The FASB also issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements ("ASU 2018-11") to provide entities another option for transition and lessors with a practical expedient. The transition option allows entities to not apply ASU No. 2016-02 in comparative periods in the financial statements in the year of adoption. The practical expedient offers an option to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met.

The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02, ASU No. 2018-10 and ASU No. 2018-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, for non-public entities and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and allow for modified retrospective adoption with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the amendments on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and elected the transition relief package of practical expedients by applying previous accounting conclusions under ASC 840 to all leases that existed prior to the transition date. There was no impact to retained earnings upon the adoption of ASC 842. As a result of the adoption, the Company did not reassess 1) whether existing or expired contracts contain leases, 2) lease classification for any existing or expired leases, and 3) whether lease origination costs qualified as initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining a lease term and impairment of the ROU assets at the adoption date. Additionally, the Company did not separate lease components from non-lease components for the specified asset classes. Furthermore, the Company did not apply the recognition requirements under ASC 842 to short-term leases, generally defined as a lease term of less than one year.

The Company has operating and financing leases for corporate offices, data centers, and certain equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to seventeen years, some of which include the options to extend the leases, and some of which include the options to terminate the leases. As of March 31, 2022, extension and termination options have not been considered in the calculation of the ROU assets and lease liabilities as the Company determined it was not reasonably certain that it will exercise those options.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and does not recognize a lease with a term shorter than 12 months. An ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are to be recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments not yet paid over the lease term. As the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The incremental borrowing rate for United States dollar denominated leases was calculated by considering current market yields and the Company’s existing debt rates to determine a yield. In order to assess a premium or discount for the lease tenor and develop an incremental borrowing rate curve, the analysis compared the Company’s existing debt yield to the appropriate market yield curve corresponding to the Company’s secured rating. The curve one notch higher was used as the incremental borrowing rate focuses on secured borrowing rates, which tend to carry higher credit ratings when issued. The corporate yield curve was adjusted based on the Company’s implied incremental borrowing rate premium or discount at each tenor to reach a concluded incremental borrowing rate curve. Using the calculated United States dollar incremental borrowing rate, the international incremental borrowing rates were determined by adjusting for specific country risk.

The operating lease ROU assets include any lease payments made prior to the rent commencement date and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease transactions are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net, and Operating lease liabilities, current and noncurrent, within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases, formerly known as (“f/k/a”) Capital leases, are included in Property, plant and equipment, net, Current portion of finance lease obligations, and Finance lease obligations within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 7, Leases, for further information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting standards.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which is intended to provide more decision-useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 revises the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses on financial instruments, including, but not limited to accounts receivable. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 for non-public entities, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted and the update allows for a modified retrospective method of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 issued guidance on the accounting for income taxes that, among other provisions, eliminates certain exceptions to existing guidance related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in its effective income tax rate in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation, aligning the timing of recognition of the effects from enacted tax law changes on the effective income tax rate with the effects on deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Under existing guidance, an entity recognizes the effects of the enacted tax law change on the effective income tax rate in the period that includes the effective date of the tax law. For non-public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments included in the update allows for a retrospective, modified retrospective, or prospective method of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard and its adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
