Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Nature of Business
Formation and Nature of Business
Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation, which, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, EIG Investors Corp. (“EIG Investors”), its primary operating subsidiary, The Endurance International Group, Inc. (“EIG”), and other subsidiaries of EIG, collectively form the “Company.” The Company is a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions designed to help small- and medium-sized businesses succeed online.
EIG and EIG Investors were incorporated in April 1997 and May 2007, respectively, and Holdings was originally formed as a limited liability company in October 2011 in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in EIG Investors, EIG and EIG's subsidiaries by investment funds and entities affiliated with Warburg Pincus and Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman") on December 22, 2011. On November 7, 2012, Holdings reorganized as a Delaware limited partnership and on June 25, 2013, Holdings converted into a Delaware C-corporation and changed its name to Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Holdings and its subsidiaries, have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions were eliminated on consolidation.
Although the Company believes the disclosures included herein are adequate to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are fairly presented, certain information and footnote disclosures to the financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Company has determined that its chief executive officer is the Company's CODM.
The Company previously reported its financial results in three reportable segments: web presence, email marketing and domain. In conjunction with the process of simplifying the organization, the Company modified its internal reporting structure to reflect certain changes in its structure and leadership, and also changed the name of the email marketing segment to the "digital marketing" segment. This resulted in consolidation of its domain segment into the web presence segment. Starting with the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company reports its financial results in two segments - web presence (including the former domain segment) and digital marketing. The Company recast the comparative information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to conform with the two-segment presentation.
The Company has identified two reportable segments: web presence and digital marketing. The Company has determined that it does not satisfy aggregation criteria for these operating segments, and that each segment meets the quantitative threshold of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting. Therefore, both operating segments are reportable segments.
The Company's segments share certain resources, primarily related to sales and marketing, engineering and development, and general and administrative functions. Management allocates these costs to each respective segment based on a consistently applied methodology, primarily based on a percentage of revenue.
Use of Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, 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. These estimates, judgments and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based on the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, judgments and assumptions

8


used in preparing the consolidated financial statements, actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The more significant estimates reflected in these consolidated financial statements include estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed under purchase accounting related to the Company’s acquisitions and when evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for potential impairment, the estimated useful lives of intangible and depreciable assets, revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements, stock-based compensation, contingent consideration, derivative instruments, certain accruals, reserves and deferred taxes.
A new strain of coronavirus that causes the disease known as COVID-19 was identified in late 2019 and has spread globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in infections worldwide.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. As such, the extent of the pandemic’s impact on the Company's financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations is uncertain. Management is continuing to execute its 2020 operating plan while actively monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, including its customers, industry, operations, suppliers, workforce and liquidity. The Company expects that its healthcare expenses may increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company also expects to see tax-related liquidity benefits from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The Company has not yet seen a material impact on its business due to the COVID-19 pandemic as of the date of these consolidated financial statements; however, given the daily evolution of the pandemic and the extensive and varied global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to predict the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for fiscal year 2020.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, and the notes to consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2020, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, and changes in stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020. The results in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.
Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is composed of certificates of deposit and cash held by merchant banks and payment processors, which provide collateral against any chargebacks, fees, or other items that may be charged back to the Company by credit card companies and other merchants, and collateral for certain facility leases.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is primarily composed of cash due from credit card companies for unsettled transactions charged to customers’ credit cards. As these amounts reflect authenticated transactions that are fully collectible, the Company does not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company also accrues for earned referral fees and commissions, which are governed by reseller or affiliate agreements, when the amount is reasonably estimable.
Prepaid Domain Name Registry Fees
Prepaid domain name registry fees represent amounts that are paid in full at the time a domain is registered by one of the Company’s registrars on behalf of a customer. The registry fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the domain registration period.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The fair value of the Company's notes payable is based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and average maturities and approximates their carrying value.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.
As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-4, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost, or at fair value if the property and equipment is acquired in an acquisition. The Company also capitalizes the direct costs of constructing additional computer equipment for internal use, as well as upgrades to existing computer equipment which extend the useful life, capacity or operating efficiency of the equipment. Capitalized costs include the cost of materials, shipping and taxes. Materials used for repairs and maintenance of computer equipment are expensed and recorded as a cost of revenue. Materials on hand and construction-in-process are recorded as property and equipment. Assets recorded under equipment financing are depreciated over the lease term. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: 
Building
 
Thirty-five years
Software
 
Two to three years
Computers and office equipment
 
Three years
Furniture and fixtures
 
Five years
Leasehold improvements
 
Shorter of useful life or remaining term of the lease

Software Development Costs
The Company accounts for software development costs for internal-use software under the provisions of FASB ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. Accordingly, certain costs to develop internal-use computer software are capitalized, provided these costs are expected to be recoverable. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company capitalized internal-use software development costs of $3.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company capitalized internal-use software development costs of $5.0 million.
Goodwill
Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with the Company’s various business combinations and represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable intangible and tangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to periodic review for impairment. Events that would indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, including a decline in the equity value of the Company's business, a significant adverse change in agreements that would materially affect reported operating results, business climate or operational performance of the business and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Additionally, a reorganization or change in the

10


number of reporting units could result in the reassignment of goodwill between reporting units and may trigger an impairment assessment.
In accordance with ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), the Company is required to review goodwill by reporting unit for impairment at least annually or more often if there are indicators of impairment present. Under U.S. GAAP, a reporting unit is either the equivalent of, or one level below, an operating segment. The Company performs its annual goodwill test as of October 31 of each fiscal year. The Company has identified a total of ten reporting units, and goodwill has been allocated to five of these reporting units. The Company also early adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, the Company's goodwill impairment test includes only one step, which is a comparison of the carrying value of each reporting unit to its fair value, and any excess carrying value, up to the amount of goodwill allocated, is impaired. Goodwill has been allocated to each reporting unit in accordance with ASC 350-20-40, which requires that goodwill be allocated based on the relative fair values of each reporting unit.
The carrying value of each reporting unit is based on the assignment of the appropriate assets and liabilities to each reporting unit. Assets and liabilities are assigned to each reporting unit if the assets or liabilities are employed in the operations of the reporting unit and the asset and liability is considered in the determination of the reporting unit's fair value. Certain assets and liabilities are shared by multiple reporting units, and are allocated to each reporting unit based on its relative size, primarily based on revenue.
The Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit by utilizing the income approach and the market approach. For the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future after-tax cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate. The Company derives its discount rates by using a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to its reporting units to estimate the weighted-average cost of capital. The Company uses discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in its business and in its internally developed forecasts. For fiscal year 2019, the Company used a discount rate of 10.5% for all but three of its reporting units. For two of these reporting units, which are experiencing declining cash flows, the Company used a discount rate of 13.0% and 13.5%, respectively, to adjust for the risk in the projected cash flows. For the remaining reporting unit, which had just been acquired in September 2019, the Company used a discount rate of 15.5%, to adjust for the risk in the projected cash flows. The Company also performed sensitivity analysis on its discount rates. The Company uses internal forecasts to estimate future after-tax cash flows, which include an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on the Company's view of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. Actual results may differ from those assumed in the Company's forecasts.
For the market approach, the Company utilizes two different approaches: market multiples for publicly traded companies, and market multiples based on the acquisition value of comparable companies that were sold.
For the fiscal year 2019 goodwill impairment analysis, the Company compared the fair value from the income approach to the two market approaches, which included a valuation multiple of comparable public companies and a valuation multiple from sales of comparable companies. For three of the Company's reporting units, which represent approximately 97% of the Company's goodwill, the Company established the fair value based on the average fair value from all three valuation approaches. For two of the remaining reporting units, which represent approximately 3% of the Company's goodwill, the Company established fair value based on the income approach only, because these reporting units are experiencing declining cash flows. The Company calculated and recognized a partial impairment of $10.0 million for one of these reporting units and a full impairment of $2.3 million for the second of these reporting units, both of which were recorded as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) in the three months ended December 31, 2019. For the other two reporting units for which the income approach was used, the Company had just acquired one reporting unit (Ecomdash) in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and was in the process of disposing of the other reporting unit (SinglePlatform) through a sale in December 2019.
Goodwill as of December 31, 2019 was $1,835.3 million. The carrying value of goodwill that was allocated to the web presence and digital marketing segments was approximately $1,231.9 million and $603.4 million, respectively. The fair value of all but three reporting units with goodwill at December 31, 2019 exceeded each reporting unit's carrying value by at least 20%.
Of the other three reporting units with less than 20% excess of fair value over carrying value, one reporting unit is forecast to experience continuing negative growth in both revenue and cash flows. Given this fact pattern, the Company relied upon the income approach in order to quantify the impact of persistent negative growth expectations and to develop a fair value for this reporting unit. The goodwill allocated to this reporting unit as of December 31, 2019 was $52.0 million. The Company expects that cash flows for this unit will continue to decline, which could result in goodwill impairment charges for this reporting unit at some point in the future.
The second reporting unit with less than a 20% excess of fair value over carrying value was acquired in September 2019. Based on the short duration between the acquisition date and the testing date, and lacking indications of specific events that

11


either positively or negatively impacted the carrying value, fair value on this reporting unit approximated the allocated goodwill. Goodwill for this reporting unit as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $7.0 million.
The third reporting unit represents a combination of different hosting brands, which the Company will continue to monitor in the future. Though near term cash flows are projected to decline for this unit, growth in the cash flows is expected to return after further investments in engineering and development and sales and marketing are made. This reporting unit's fair value was established using three valuation methods, equally weighted. As the reporting unit passed the goodwill impairment test with equal weight given to the three approaches, the Company did not adjust the weight given to the three valuation approaches. As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of this reporting unit, as estimated based upon its future projections, exceeded its carrying value by less than 4%. In the event the Company's investments in engineering and development and sales and marketing do not generate the anticipated improvement in future operating performance for this unit, then future impairments may be recognized for this reporting unit. Goodwill for this reporting unit as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $1.2 billion.
Because of the deterioration of the economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because of the decline in the Company’s share price, the Company reassessed its annual goodwill impairment test. The Company performed a qualitative analysis, noting that the Company’s operating performance, both current and future based on updated projections, is in line with the projections used for the 2019 annual impairment test. The Company also noted that its market capitalization continues to exceed the book value of the stockholders’ equity. Based on the Company’s analysis, the Company has concluded that an impairment has not been triggered, and as such, no impairment has been recorded.
Goodwill as of March 31, 2020 was $1,834.3 million. The carrying value of goodwill that was allocated to the web presence and digital marketing reporting segments was approximately $1,230.9 million and $603.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, as noted above, no impairment triggering events were identified and no impairment has been recorded.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets consist primarily of intangible assets, including acquired subscriber relationships, trade names, intellectual property, developed technology and domain names available for sale. The Company also has long-lived tangible assets, primarily consisting of property and equipment. The majority of the Company’s intangible assets are recorded in connection with its various acquisitions. The Company’s intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the time of their acquisition. The Company amortizes intangible assets over their estimated useful lives.
Determination of the estimated useful lives of the individual categories of intangible assets is based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives other than developed technology is recognized in accordance with their estimated projected cash flows.
The Company evaluates long-lived intangible and tangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present and undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the fair value of the assets is determined and compared to the carrying value. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, then the carrying value of the asset is reduced to the estimated fair value and an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period the impairment is identified. No such impairment losses have been identified in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020.
Indefinite life intangible assets include domain names that are available for sale which are recorded at the cost to acquire. These assets are not being amortized and are being tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. When a domain name is sold, the Company records the cost of the domain in cost of revenue.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASC 606, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. Since then, the FASB has also issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU No. 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments, which further elaborate on the original ASU No. 2014-09. The Company adopted the guidance in ASC 606 on January 1, 2018. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to for those products and services. In general, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

12


Identification of the contract, or contracts, with the 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
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company provides cloud-based subscription services, which include web hosting and related add-ons, search engine optimization ("SEO") services, domain registration services and email marketing.
Web hosting gives customers access to an environment where the Company hosts a customer’s website. The related contract terms are generally for one year, but can range from 30 days to three years. Web hosting services are typically sold in bundled offerings that include web hosting, domain registration services and various add-ons. The Company recognizes revenue for web hosting and domain registration services over the term of the contract.
The main add-on services related to web hosting are domain privacy, website security, secure sockets layer security, site backup and restoration, and web builder tools. These services may be included in web hosting bundles, or they may be purchased on a standalone basis. Certain add-on services are provided by third parties. In cases where the Company is acting as an agent for the sale of third-party add-on services, the Company recognizes revenue on a net basis at the time of sale. In cases where the Company is acting as a principal for the sale of third-party add-on services (i.e., the Company has the primary responsibility to provide specific goods or services, it has discretion to establish prices and it may assume inventory risk), the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis over the term of the contract. The revenue for Company-provided add-on services is primarily recognized over the term of the contract.
SEO services are monthly subscriptions that provide a customer with increased traffic to their website over the term of the subscription. Revenue from SEO services is recognized over the monthly term of the contract.
In the case of domain registration services, the Company is an accredited registrar and can provide registration services to the customer, or it can select an accredited third-party registrar to perform these duties. Domain registration services are generally annual subscriptions, but can cover multiple years. Revenue for these services is recognized over the life of the subscription.
Email marketing services provide customers with a cloud-based platform that can send broadcast emails to a contact list managed by the customer. Pricing is based on contact list volume from the prior monthly period, which determines the contractual billing price for the upcoming month. Revenue for this service is recognized over the monthly term of the contract.
Inventory management and marketplace listing services provide customers with a cloud-based platform that integrates standard inventory management features with order management and shipping management capabilities across multiple channels. Pricing is primarily based on order volume from the prior monthly period. For inventory management customers who subscribe to an annual plan, revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Inventory management professional services are also provided to customers on demand, and are recognized into revenue upon completion.
Non-subscription-based services include certain professional services, primarily website design or re-design services, marketing development fund ("MDF") revenue, premium domain names and domain parking services.
Website design and re-design services are recognized when the service is complete.
Marketing development funds consist of commissions earned by the Company when a third party sells its products or services directly to the Company’s customers, and advertising revenue for third-party ads placed on Company websites. The Company records revenue when the service is provided and calculates it based on the contractual revenue share arrangement or over the term of the advertisement.
Domain parking allows the Company to monetize certain of its premium domain names by loaning them to specialized third parties that generate advertising revenue from these parked domains on a pay-per-click basis. Revenue is recognized when earned and calculated based on the revenue share arrangement with the third party.
Revenue from the sale of premium domains is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement to sell such domains exists and delivery of an authorization key to access the domain name has occurred. Premium domain names are paid for in advance prior to the delivery of the domain name.
The contracts that the Company enters into typically do not contain any variable or non-cash consideration.
The Company maintains a reserve for refunds and chargebacks related to revenue that has been recognized and is expected to be refunded, as calculated based on observed historical trends. The Company had a refund and chargeback reserve of $0.3 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The portion of deferred revenue that was expected to be refunded at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 was $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

13


Based on refund history, approximately 84% of all refunds happen in the same fiscal month that the contract starts or renews, and approximately 95% of all refunds happen within 45 days of the contract start or renewal date.
The Company did not apply any practical expedients during its adoption of ASC 606. The Company elected to use the portfolio method in the calculation of the deferred contract assets.
Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations
A considerable amount of the Company’s revenue is generated from transactions that are contracts with customers that may include web hosting plans, domain name registrations, and other cloud-based products and services. In these cases, the Company determines whether the products and services are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together. The Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price ("SSP"), generally based on the price charged to customers. Web hosting services, domain name registrations, and other cloud-based products and services have distinct performance obligations and are often sold separately. If the promise is not distinct and therefore not a performance obligation, then the total transaction amount is allocated to the identified performance obligation based on a relative selling price hierarchy. When multiple performance obligations are included in a contract, the total transaction amount for the contract is allocated to the performance obligations based on a relative selling price hierarchy. The Company determines the relative selling price for a performance obligation based on SSP. The Company determines SSP by considering its observed SSPs, competitive prices in the marketplace and management judgment; these SSPs may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. The Company analyzes the SSPs used in its allocation of transaction amount, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis.
Deferred Revenue
The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or are due in advance of the Company’s performance, including amounts that are refundable.

The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s deferred revenue liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $155.5 million and $0.0 million, respectively, from beginning deferred revenue current and long-term balances existing at December 31, 2019. The Company did not recognize any revenue from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods.

This backlog of revenue related to future performance obligations is prepaid by customers and supported by executed contracts with customers. The Company has established a reserve of $0.3 million for refunds and chargebacks, 95% of which is expected to materialize in the first 45 days after the contract start date or renewal date. The remainder of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in future periods.
Deferred Customer Acquisition Costs
As a result of the implementation of ASC 606, the Company capitalizes the incremental costs directly related to obtaining and fulfilling a contract (such as sales commissions and certain direct sales and marketing success-based costs), if these costs are expected to be recovered. These costs are amortized over the period the services are transferred to the customer, which is estimated based on customer churn rates for various segments of the business. The Company includes only those incremental costs that would not have been incurred if the contracts had not been entered into:

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had a total of approximately $79.4 million and $11.1 million in deferred assets relating to costs incurred to obtain or fulfill contracts in its web presence and digital marketing segments, respectively. These deferred assets consist entirely of recoverable, specific, success-based sales commissions. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized total amortization costs related to the above items of approximately $11.0 million and $1.4 million in its web presence and digital marketing segments, respectively, which were included in sales and marketing in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Significant Judgments
The Company sells a number of third-party cloud-based services to enhance a customer’s overall web hosting experience. The Company exercises considerable judgment to determine if it is the principal or agent in each of these arrangements, and in some instances, has concluded that it is an agent of the third party and recognizes revenue at the time of the customer purchase in an amount that is net of the revenue share payable to the third party.
The Company exercises judgment to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where the SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include a competitive market assessment approach and other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services.
Judgment is required to determine whether particular types of sales and marketing costs incurred, including commissions, are incremental and recoverable costs incurred to obtain and fulfill the customer contract. In addition, judgment is required to determine the life of the customer over which deferred customer acquisition costs are amortized.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the Company expects the differences to reverse. The Company reduces the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. The Company considers relevant evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance.
The Company establishes reserves when it believes that certain positions are likely to be challenged despite the Company’s assertion that its tax return positions are fully supportable. The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves significant judgment based on individual facts, circumstances, and information available in addition to applying complex tax regulations in various jurisdictions.

15


Under U.S. GAAP, in order to recognize an uncertain tax benefit, the taxpayer must determine it is more likely than not the position will be sustained, and the measurement of the benefit is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon resolution of the benefit. Although the Company believes that it has adequately provided for liabilities resulting from tax assessment by taxing authorities, positions taken by these tax authorities could have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and/or cash flows. The Company recognizes the interest and penalties related to income taxes as a part of interest expense and operating expenses, respectively, in continuing operations in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company may issue restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and stock options which vest upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and/or a service condition. The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires employee stock-based payments to be accounted for under the fair value method. Under this method, the Company is required to record compensation cost based on the estimated fair value for stock-based awards granted over the requisite service periods for the individual awards, which generally equals the vesting periods, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company uses the straight-line amortization method for recognizing stock-based compensation expense. In addition, for stock-based awards where vesting is dependent upon achieving certain performance goals, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving the performance goals against established performance targets.
The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions. For restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted, the Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award or restricted stock unit based on the closing trading price of its common stock on the date of grant.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock is accounted for at cost. Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under equity incentive and benefit plans. The reissuance of shares from treasury stock is based on the weighted-average purchase price of the shares.
Net Loss per Share
The Company considered FASB ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share, which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, and, if there are dilutive securities, diluted income per share is computed by including common stock equivalents which includes shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, net of shares assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds, using the treasury stock method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. The new guidance provides for the deferral of implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements and expensing those costs over the term of the cloud services arrangement. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Issued
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which amends existing guidance relating to the accounting for income taxes. This ASU is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of accounting for income taxes and to improve the consistent application of U.S. GAAP for other areas of accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323 and Topic 815. This ASU clarifies the interaction among the accounting standards for equity securities, equity method and certain derivatives. Specifically, the ASU clarifies that when applying the measurement alternative in ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, for instruments that do not have readily determinable fair values, an entity is required to consider observable transactions that result in applying (or discontinuing) the equity method. The ASU also clarifies that when assessing whether certain forward contracts and purchased options are in the scope of Subtopic 815-10, Certain Contracts on Debt and Equity Securities, entities should not assess whether the underlying securities upon settlement of the forward or exercise of the option would be accounted for under the equity method in ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, or the fair value option in ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions in which the reference LIBOR or another reference rate is expected to be discontinued as a result of the Reference Rate Reform. This ASU is intended to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance is effective from the beginning of an interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the expected impact of the new guidance.
3. Acquisitions/ Divestitures
The Company accounts for the acquisitions of businesses using the purchase method of accounting. The Company allocates the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Purchased identifiable intangible assets typically include subscriber relationships, trade names, domain names held for sale, developed technology and in-process research and development. The methodologies used to determine the fair value assigned to subscriber relationships and domain names held for sale are typically based on the excess earnings method that considers the return received from the intangible asset and includes certain expenses and also considers an attrition rate based on the Company’s internal subscriber analysis and an estimate of the average life of the subscribers. The fair value assigned to trade names is typically based on the income approach using a relief from royalty methodology that assumes that the fair value

17


of a trade name can be measured by estimating the cost of licensing and paying a royalty fee for the trade name that the owner of the trade name avoids. The fair value assigned to developed technology typically uses the cost approach. If applicable, the Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration payments in determining the purchase price. The contingent consideration is then adjusted to fair value in subsequent periods as an increase or decrease in current earnings in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Acquisitions - 2019
Ecomdash
On September 13, 2019, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of LTD Software LLC, doing business as Ecomdash (“Ecomdash”), which is a software provider that offers inventory management and marketplace listing solutions for small and mid-sized businesses selling online. The aggregate purchase price was $9.6 million, of which approximately $8.9 million was paid in cash at the closing. The Company retained the remainder of the purchase price as a holdback to fund any working capital adjustment, if applicable, and to serve as security for the indemnification obligations of the seller under the asset purchase agreement. Subject to any indemnification claims, the Company will release the holdback funds, less a small working capital adjustment, to the seller 12 months from the closing date. Transaction costs were expensed as incurred. The Company has accounted for this transaction as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

6. Fair Value Measurements
The following valuation hierarchy is used for disclosure of the valuation inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the Company’s financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis consisted of the 2018 interest rate cap and certain cash equivalents, which included money market instruments and bank time deposits. The Company has classified the interest rate caps, which are discussed in Note 7, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, below, within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company has also classified these cash equivalents within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The 2015 interest rate cap matured during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company has entered into two three-year interest rate caps as part of its risk management strategy, of which the first one matured in the three months ended March 31, 2019. The interest rate caps, designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, provide for the payment to the Company of variable amounts if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an upfront premium. Therefore, these derivatives limit the Company’s exposure if the interest rate rises, but also allow the Company to benefit when the interest rate falls.
In December 2015, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate cap with $500.0 million notional value outstanding. This interest rate cap was effective beginning on February 29, 2016 and matured on February 27, 2019.
In June 2018, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate cap with $800.0 million notional value outstanding. This interest rate cap was effective beginning on August 28, 2018. The fair value of this interest rate contract included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 was $0.1 million, and the Company recognized $0.4 million of interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company recognized a $0.5 million gain, net of a tax expense of $0.1 million, in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company estimates that $1.8 million will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense (as an increase to interest expense) in the next twelve months.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI, and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, there were no impairment charges of intangible assets.
The estimated useful lives of the individual categories of other intangible assets are based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets over the period in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized based upon their estimated projected cash flows.
The Company’s amortization expense is included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the aggregate amounts of $21.1 million and $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

First Lien Term Loan Facility
The First Lien Term Loan (the "Term Loan") was issued at par and automatically bears interest at an alternate base rate unless the Company gives notice to opt for the LIBOR-based interest rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate for the Term Loan is 3.75% per annum plus the greater of an adjusted LIBOR and 1.00%. The alternate base rate for the Term Loan is 2.75% per

22


annum plus the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, an adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, and 2.00%.
The Term Loan has a maturity date of February 9, 2023 and requires quarterly mandatory repayments of principal. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company made one mandatory repayment of $7.9 million.
Interest is payable on maturity of the elected interest period for a term loan with a LIBOR-based interest rate, which interest period can be one, two, three or six months. Interest is payable at the end of each fiscal quarter for a term loan with an alternate base rate.
As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the Term Loan had an outstanding balance of:

Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which has an aggregate available amount of $165.0 million. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any balances outstanding under the Revolver and the full amount of the facility was unused and available.
The Revolver consists of a non-extended tranche of approximately $58.8 million and an extended tranche of approximately $106.2 million. The non-extended tranche has a maturity date of February 9, 2021. The extended tranche has a maturity date of June 20, 2023, with a "springing" maturity date of November 10, 2022 if the Term Loan has not been repaid in full or otherwise extended to September 19, 2023 or later prior to November 10, 2022.
The Company has the ability to draw down against the Revolver using a LIBOR-based interest rate or an alternate base rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate for a non-extended revolving loan is 4.00% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) and for an extended revolving loan is 3.25% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down), in each case plus an adjusted LIBOR for a selected interest period. The alternate base rate for a non-extended revolving loan is 3.00% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) and for an extended revolving loan is 2.25% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down), in each case plus the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and an adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%. There is also a non-refundable commitment fee, equal to 0.50% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) of the average daily unused principal amount of the Revolver, which is payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter. Interest is payable on maturity of the elected interest period for a revolver loan with a LIBOR-based interest rate, which interest period can be one, two, three or six months. Interest is payable at the end of each fiscal quarter for a revolver loan with an alternate base rate.
Senior Notes
In connection with the acquisition of Constant Contact, Inc. ("Constant Contact") in February 2016, EIG Investors issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the "Senior Notes") with a maturity date of February 1, 2024. The Senior Notes were issued at a price of 98.065% of par and bear interest at the rate of 10.875% per annum. The Senior Notes have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by Holdings and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Term Loan and the Revolver (including Constant Contact and certain of its subsidiaries). The Company has the right to redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at any time for a discount or premium which is based on the applicable redemption date. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding Senior Notes through cash purchases, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as the Company may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company made two voluntary, privately negotiated redemptions of $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for a total redemption of $3.0 million. The redemptions were made at a discount of 98.5% and 93.0%, respectively, for an immaterial net gain on redemption of $0.0 million, after recording a charge of $0.1 million, included in interest expense, to write off original issue discounts and deferred financing costs relating to the redemption.

Debt Covenants
The Term Loan and Revolver (together, the "Senior Credit Facilities") require that the Company complies with a financial covenant to maintain a maximum ratio of consolidated senior secured net indebtedness to an adjusted consolidated EBITDA measure.
The Senior Credit Facilities also contain covenants that limit the Company's ability to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of capital stock; make other restricted payments; make certain investments; sell or transfer certain assets; create liens on certain assets to secure debt; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.
Additionally, the Senior Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with certain negative covenants and specify certain events of default that could result in amounts becoming payable, in whole or in part, prior to their maturity dates.
With the exception of certain equity interests and other excluded assets under the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities, substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged as collateral for the obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities.
The indenture with respect to the Senior Notes contains covenants that limit the Company's ability to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of capital stock; make other restricted payments; make certain investments; sell or transfer certain assets; create liens on certain assets to secure debt; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Upon a change of control as defined in the indenture, the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the repurchase date. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.
The indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, may permit or, in certain circumstances, require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2020.
10. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has two stock incentive plans, as described below.
2013 Stock Incentive Plan
The Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) of the Company became effective upon the closing of its initial public offering. The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisers of the Company. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company may issue up to 38,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. At March 31, 2020, there were 4,870,928 shares available for grant under the 2013 Plan.
2011 Stock Incentive Plan
As of February 9, 2016, the effective date of the acquisition of Constant Contact, the Company assumed and converted certain outstanding equity awards granted by Constant Contact under the Constant Contact 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) prior to the effective date of the acquisition (the “Assumed Awards”) into corresponding equity awards with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company assumed certain shares of Constant Contact common stock, par value $0.01 per share, available for issuance under the 2011 Plan (the “Available Shares”), which will be available for future issuance under the 2011 Plan in satisfaction of the vesting, exercise or other settlement of options and other equity awards that may be granted by the Company following the effective date of the acquisition of Constant Contact in reliance on the prior approval of the 2011 Plan by the stockholders of Constant Contact. The Assumed Awards were converted into 2,143,987 stock options and 2,202,846 restricted stock units with respect to the Company’s common stock and the Available Shares were converted into 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for future awards under the 2011 Plan.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

27


The Company’s restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each having a par value of $0.0001 per share. All holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Upon the issuance of preferred stock, if any, the voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the common stock will be subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the preferred stock. Preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Company's board of directors has the authority to establish voting powers, designations, preferences and other special rights, including dividend rights and liquidation preferences, to the full extent permitted by law for each series of preferred stock that may be issued.
There were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020.
Stock Repurchase Program
On March 10, 2020, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $40.0 million of the Company's common stock on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
The Company will determine the timing and amount of shares repurchased, if any, depending on its evaluation of market and other conditions. The Company expects to fund any repurchases using cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under equity incentive plans. The reissuance of shares from treasury stock is based on the weighted average purchase price of the shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of approximately $12.3 million of its common stock under the program, of which approximately $4.9 million was repurchased in open market transactions pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan and $7.45 million was repurchased in a privately negotiated transaction with Okumus Fund Management Ltd., as discussed below.
As of March 31, 2020, of the $40.0 million authorized amount, the Company had $27.7 million remaining available under the share repurchase program.
Okumus Share Repurchase
Pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program described above, on March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement with Okumus Fund Management Ltd. (“Okumus”), a holder of more than 5% of the Company's capital stock. Under the agreement, the Company repurchased 5.0 million shares of its common stock from Okumus at a price of $1.49 per share, for an aggregate repurchase price of $7.45 million. The $1.49 per share repurchase price that the Company paid represented a discount to the closing price per share of its common stock on the trading day prior to its entry into the repurchase agreement, which was $1.55 per share.

13. Revenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company recognized $280.7 million and $272.2 million of revenue, respectively, the majority of which was derived from contracts with customers.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company did not incur any impairment or credit losses on any receivables or contract assets arising from the Company’s contracts with customers.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers based on the timing of revenue recognition. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As discussed in Note 18, Segment Information, the Company's business consists of the web presence and digital marketing segments. The following table presents disaggregated revenues by category for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020:

14. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company recognized a tax expense of $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The components of the expense for income taxes consisted of the following:

The expense for income taxes shown on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) differs considerably from amounts that would result from applying the statutory tax rates to income before taxes primarily due to tax rules and attributes that are available to each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. In addition, due to the recent changes in U.S. tax law based on the Tax Cuts and Job Act (the "TCJA") and the CARES Act, there are a number of provisions that impact the Company’s overall tax result, a significant item being the limitation on the deductibility of interest expenses. These new laws may create variability from period to period, especially when the Company is assessing whether its deferred tax assets and liabilities are more likely than not to be realized.
The Company is required to assess its ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Assessing the realization of deferred tax assets requires significant management judgment. In determining whether its deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable, the Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence, and weighted the evidence based on its objectivity. Evidence the Company considered included:
 
Net operating losses ("NOLs") incurred from the Company’s inception to date
Expiration of various federal, state and foreign tax attributes
Reversals of existing temporary differences
Composition and cumulative amounts of existing temporary differences and
Current year forecasted profit before tax
After consideration of all positive and negative evidence, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that a portion of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 of $44.1 million and $42.6 million, respectively, against its U.S. deferred tax assets. The decrease in valuation allowance is primarily due to the change in the timing of when the existing temporary differences are expected to reverse in the future. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2019 against its foreign deferred tax assets of $6.0 million, of which $3.5 million is in the Netherlands, $1.5 million is in Brazil, and $1.0 million is in various other foreign jurisdictions. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance at March 31, 2020 against its foreign deferred tax assets of $5.8 million, of which $3.3 million is in the Netherlands, $1.6 million is in Brazil, and $0.9 million is in various other foreign jurisdictions.

The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package that includes spending and tax cuts to strengthen the United States economy and fund a nationwide effort to curtail the effect of COVID-19. While the CARES Act provides sweeping tax changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the more significant provisions which are expected to impact the Company’s financial statements include increasing the ability to deduct interest expense, as well as amending certain provisions of the previously enacted TCJA. As of March 31, 2020, the Company recognized a benefit of $2.1 million as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations related to the CARES Act. Based on the Company's initial assessments, the Company anticipates that the CARES Act will allow the Company to defer its 2020 tax payments; defer the employer portion of its FICA taxes to 2021 and 2022; fully deduct its interest expense for 2019; accelerate a refund if its available alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credits; and increase its permitted level of 2019 federal net operating loss carry-forwards from approximately $26.0 million to $77.0 million. The Company continues to review the tax-related provisions of the CARES Act and its potential impact on the Company.
The Company establishes reserves when the Company believes that certain positions are likely to be challenged despite the Company’s assertion that its tax return positions are fully supportable. The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves significant judgment based on individual facts, circumstances and information available in addition to applying complex tax regulations in various jurisdictions. The Company recognizes, in its consolidated financial statements, the effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company has recorded unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 of $4.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively, that would affect its effective tax rate. The Company does not expect a significant change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded the following tax attributes available to be carried forward:

As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the Company has recorded interest expense that can be carried forward indefinitely due to provisions of the TCJA, of $114.9 million and $63.1 million, respectively.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States for federal income taxes and in various state jurisdictions. The Company also files in several foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world. Since the Company is in a loss carry-forward position, it is generally subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carry-forward is utilized.
15. Severance and Other Exit Costs
The Company evaluates its data center, sales and marketing, support and engineering operations and the general and administrative function on an ongoing basis in an effort to optimize its cost structure. As a result, the Company may incur charges for employee severance, exiting facilities and restructuring data center commitments and other related costs.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not presently involved in any such legal proceeding or subject to any such claim that, in the opinion of its management, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results or financial condition. However, the results of such legal proceedings or claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
As previously disclosed, the Company was named as a defendant in a shareholder litigation matter. On February 9, 2016, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Constant Contact. On August 7, 2015, a purported class action lawsuit, William McGee v. Constant Contact, Inc., et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Constant Contact and two of its former officers. An amended complaint, which named an additional former officer as a defendant, was filed December 19, 2016. The lawsuit asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and is premised on allegedly false and/or misleading statements, and non-disclosure of material facts, regarding Constant Contact’s business, operations, prospects and performance during the proposed class period of October 23, 2014 to July 23, 2015. The parties mediated the claims on March 27, 2018, and as a result of that mediation reached an agreement in principle with the lead plaintiff to settle the action. The parties then negotiated the terms and conditions of a stipulation and agreement of settlement and related papers, which, among other things, provide for the release of all claims asserted against Constant Contact and its former officers. On May 18, 2018, the plaintiffs filed an unopposed motion seeking preliminary approval of the proposed settlement, certification of the proposed settlement class for settlement purposes only, and approval of notice to the settlement class. On November 26, 2019, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement and scheduling a hearing for May 27, 2020 at which the court is expected to determine whether the proposed settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate and whether the case should therefore be dismissed with prejudice. The Company's contribution to the settlement pool under this proposed settlement would be equal to the $1.5 million it reserved for this matter during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company cannot make any assurances as to whether or when the McGee settlement will be approved by the court and the Company cannot assess the ultimate outcome of this matter or an estimate of any probable losses or any reasonably possible losses (other than the reserve specifically discussed above) at this time.
17. Related Party Transactions
The Company has various agreements in place with related parties. Below are details of significant related party transactions that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020.
SiteLock, LLC:
The Company has an agreement with SiteLock, LLC ("SiteLock"), which provides multi-layered third-party security and website performance applications that are sold by the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, a director of the Company continued to hold a material financial interest in SiteLock.
The Company records revenue on the sale of SiteLock products on a net basis, since the Company views SiteLock as the primary obligor to deliver these services. As a result, the revenue share paid by the Company to SiteLock is recorded as contra-revenue. Further, SiteLock pays the Company a fee on sales made by SiteLock directly to customers of the Company. The Company records these fees as revenue.
The following table presents the amounts of related party transactions recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented relating to the Company's agreement with SiteLock:

Okumus Share Repurchase:
Pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program announced on March 10, 2020, on March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement with Okumus, a holder of more than 5% of the Company's capital stock. Under the agreement, the Company repurchased 5.0 million shares of its common stock from Okumus at a price of $1.49 per share, for an aggregate repurchase price of $7.45 million. The $1.49 per share repurchase price that the Company paid represented a discount to the closing price per share of its common stock on the trading day prior to its entry into the repurchase agreement, which was $1.55 per share.  
18. Segment Information
The Company has two reportable segments: web presence and digital marketing. The products and services included in each of the two reportable segments are as follows:
Web Presence. The web presence segment consists of the Company's web hosting brands, including Bluehost and HostGator, as well as its domain-focused brands such as Domain.com, ResellerClub and LogicBoxes. This segment includes web hosting, website security, website design tools and services, e-commerce products, domain names and domain privacy. It also includes the sale of domain management services to resellers and end users, as well as premium domain names, and generates advertising revenue from domain name parking. The results presented below for the web presence segment include the former domain segment.
Digital Marketing. The digital marketing segment consists of Constant Contact email marketing tools and related products. This segment also generates revenue from sales of the Company's Constant Contact-branded website builder tool and Ecomdash inventory management and marketplace listing solution which was acquired in the third quarter of 2019. For most of 2019, the digital marketing segment also included the SinglePlatform digital storefront business, which was sold on December 5, 2019.
The Company measures profitability of these segments based on revenue, gross profit, and adjusted EBITDA. The Company's segments share certain resources, primarily related to sales and marketing, engineering and development, and general and administrative functions. Management allocates these costs to each respective segment based on a consistently applied methodology.
The CODM does not use asset information to allocate resources or make operating decisions.
The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies; please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further details. The Company recast the comparative information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to conform with the two-segment presentation. The following tables contain financial information for each reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020:

19. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated all subsequent events occurring through May 6, 2020 to determine if any such events should be reflected in these consolidated financial statements. There were no material recognized subsequent events recorded in the March 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements.
20. Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
In February 2016, EIG Investors (the “Issuer”) issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.875% Senior Notes due 2024 (refer to Note 9, Notes Payable), which it exchanged for new 10.875% Senior Notes due 2024 pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4. The registered exchange offer for the Senior Notes was completed on January 30, 2017. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by Holdings, the Issuer, and the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: EIG, Bluehost Inc., FastDomain Inc., Domain Name Holding Company, Inc., Endurance International Group – West, Inc., HostGator.com LLC, A Small Orange, LLC, Constant Contact, and P.D.R Solutions (U.S.) LLC (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), subject to certain customary guarantor release conditions. Holdings’ other domestic subsidiaries and its foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have not guaranteed the Senior Notes.
P.D.R Solutions (U.S.) LLC became a Subsidiary Guarantor on April 25, 2019. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been revised for all periods presented to reflect this new guarantor entity.

35


SinglePlatform, LLC ceased being a Subsidiary Guarantor on December 5, 2019 due to the Company's sale of the SinglePlatform business, including SinglePlatform, LLC.
The following tables present supplemental condensed consolidating balance sheet information of Holdings (“Parent”), the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, and supplemental condensed consolidating results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020:

Overview
We are a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions designed to help small- and medium-sized businesses, or SMBs, succeed online. We serve approximately 4.8 million subscribers globally with a range of products and services that help SMBs get online, get found and grow their businesses. In addition to for-profit businesses, our subscribers include non-profit organizations, community groups, bloggers, and hobbyists. Although we provide our solutions through a number of brands, we are focusing our marketing, engineering and product development efforts on a small number of strategic assets, including our Constant Contact, Bluehost, HostGator, and Domain.com brands.
We previously reported our financial results in three reportable segments: web presence, email marketing and domain. In conjunction with the process of simplifying our organization, we modified our internal reporting structure to reflect certain changes in our structure and leadership, and also changed the name of the email marketing segment to the "digital marketing" segment. This resulted in consolidation of our domain segment into our web presence segment. Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2020, we report our financial results in two segments - web presence (including the former domain segment) and digital marketing, as follows:
Web Presence. Our web presence segment consists primarily of our web hosting brands, including Bluehost and HostGator, as well as our domain-focused brands such as Domain.com, ResellerClub and LogicBoxes. This segment includes web hosting, website security, website design tools and services, e-commerce products, domain names, and domain privacy. It also includes the sale of domain management services to resellers and end users, as well as premium domain names, and generates advertising revenue from domain name parking.
Digital Marketing. Our digital marketing segment consists of Constant Contact email marketing tools and related products. This segment also generates revenue from sales of our Constant Contact-branded website builder tool and our Ecomdash inventory management and marketplace listing solution, or Ecomdash, which we acquired in the third quarter of 2019. For most of 2019, the digital marketing segment also included the SinglePlatform digital storefront business, which we sold on December 5, 2019.
We have recast the comparative information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to conform with the two-segment presentation.
Our financial results for the first quarter of 2020 reflected a decrease in net loss, a decrease in revenue and an increase in net cash provided by operating activities compared to the first quarter of 2019. Year over year changes in revenue, net loss and net cash provided by operating activities are summarized below:

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased by 3% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to revenue declines in both the web presence and digital marketing segments. Excluding the

42


contribution of SinglePlatform, total revenue would have decreased 1% year-over-year. The decline in the digital marketing segment was due to the sale of SinglePlatform, which occurred in December 2019. Excluding the contribution of SinglePlatform from the three months ended March 31, 2019, there would have been a 2% year-over-year increase in digital marketing revenue.
Net loss improved from a loss of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to a loss of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, due primarily to lower interest expense, lower amortization expense, and lower income tax expense. These factors were partially offset by lower revenue, higher depreciation and higher stock-based compensation expense.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased from $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $34.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was the result of the payment of $5.8 million to settle a securities class action lawsuit in the first quarter of 2019, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2020; lower payments for interest, due to lower balances and lower interest rates; lower payments for taxes in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019; the timing of certain payments, particularly related to payroll; lower payments relating to bonuses in the first quarter of 2020; and an increase in our deferred revenue balance.
Our total subscriber base as of March 31, 2020 reflected a small decrease from total subscribers as of March 31, 2019, but increased during three months ended March 31, 2020. Our non-strategic brands continue to lose subscribers, but for the three months ended March 31, 2020, net subscriber additions from our strategic brands, in the aggregate, outpaced losses in our non-strategic brands. Our non-strategic brands are principally web hosting brands, but also include our cloud backup brands and certain other products that we launched in late 2015 and early 2016, but have either discontinued or no longer actively market. Subscriber counts are decreasing in these brands, and we are managing them to optimize cash flow rather than to acquire new subscribers.
We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. As of the date of this report, we have not yet seen a material impact on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic; however, it is too early to predict the extent of the impact the pandemic will have on us. We continue to execute our 2020 operating plan, which is focused on delivering increased value to customers of our key strategic brands by investing in engineering and development to improve the customer experience and expand product offerings. We are tracking our liquidity closely, and believe we have adequate liquidity resources available to manage COVID-19 impacts and to continue to move our 2020 operating plan forward. Finally, we are working to support our employees and customers during this uncertain time. We transitioned substantially all of our global workforce to work from home in March, and are focused on providing employees with resources to remain healthy, connected and productive in a remote work environment. We have launched resources to help our customers respond to the impacts of COVID-19, including action plans to transition more of their businesses online, advice from marketing experts, and access to information on government aid programs. Please see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below and the risk factors disclosed in Part II, Item IA of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of the impact of COVID-19 and the actions we are taking to respond to this evolving situation.
Key Metrics
We use a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate the operating and financial performance of our business, identify trends affecting our business, develop projections and make strategic business decisions:
total subscribers
average revenue per subscriber, or ARPS
adjusted EBITDA
free cash flow
Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flow that includes or excludes amounts that are included or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which we refer to as "GAAP" or "U.S. GAAP." Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. For example, adjusted EBITDA excludes interest expense, which has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the additional information about adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow shown below, including the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Total Subscribers
We define total subscribers as the approximate number of subscribers that, as of the end of a period, are identified as subscribing directly to our products on a paid basis, excluding accounts that access our solutions via resellers or that purchase only domain names from us. Subscribers of more than one brand, and subscribers with more than one distinct billing relationship or subscription with us, are counted as separate subscribers. Total subscribers for a period reflects adjustments to add or subtract subscribers as we integrate acquisitions and/or are otherwise able to identify subscribers that meet, or do not meet, this definition of total subscribers.
Most of our web presence segment subscribers have hosting subscriptions, but web presence subscribers also include customers who do not have a hosting subscription but subscribe to other non-hosting services, such as email or office productivity software tools. These non-hosting subscribers generally have lower-priced subscriptions than hosting subscribers. Subscribers to our domain-focused offerings (which were previously included in our former domain segment) mostly consist of customers who have a domain name subscription as well as a subscription to another product, such as domain privacy, or a basic hosting, email or domain privacy service that is bundled with their domain name subscription. These subscribers also typically have lower-priced subscriptions than hosting subscribers.
Digital marketing segment subscribers mostly consist of subscribers to Constant Contact's email marketing service, but also include paying subscribers to our Constant Contact-branded website builder tool and our Ecomdash inventory management and marketplace listing solution, which we acquired in the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Until the sale of our SinglePlatform business on December 5, 2019, digital marketing subscribers also included SinglePlatform subscribers.

The decrease in total subscribers from 4.783 million at March 31, 2019 to 4.780 million at March 31, 2020 was driven primarily by a decrease of approximately 23,000 due to the SinglePlatform sale in December 2019, and to a lesser extent, subscriber losses in the digital marketing segment. These factors were partially offset by net subscriber increases in our web presence segment, which were due primarily to our domain-focused and international brands.
Average Revenue per Subscriber (ARPS)
We calculate ARPS as the amount of revenue we recognize in a period, including marketing development funds and other revenue not received from subscribers, divided by the average of the number of total subscribers at the beginning of the period and at the end of the period, which we refer to as average subscribers for the period, divided by the number of months in the period. We believe ARPS is an indicator of our ability to optimize our mix of products, services and pricing and sell products and services to both new and existing subscribers.
The following table reflects the calculation of ARPS by segment:

ARPS does not represent an exact measure of the average amount a subscriber spends with us each month, because our calculation of ARPS includes all of our revenue, including revenue generated by non-subscribers, in the numerator. We have three principal sources of non-subscription-based revenue:
Revenue from domain-only customers. Our web presence segment earns revenue from domain-only customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, approximately 1% of our revenue was earned from domain-only customers.
Domain monetization revenue. This consists principally of revenue from our BuyDomains brand, which provides premium domain name products and services, and, to a lesser extent, revenue from advertisements placed on unused domains (often referred to as “parked” pages) owned by us or our customers. All of this revenue is associated with our web presence segment.
Revenue from marketing development funds. Marketing development funds are the amounts that certain of our partners pay us to assist in and incentivize our marketing of their products.

45


A portion of our revenue is generated from customers that resell our services. We refer to these customers as “resellers.” We consider these resellers (rather than the end user customers of these resellers) to be subscribers under our total subscribers definition, because we do not have a billing relationship with the end users and cannot determine the number of end users acquiring our services through a reseller. A majority of our reseller revenue is for the purchase of domains and is primarily related to our web presence segment. Reseller revenue earned by our web presence segment and digital marketing segment was less than 10% and less than 1%, respectively, for all periods presented, and fluctuations in reseller revenue have not materially impacted ARPS for those segments.
ARPS may be impacted by changes in the amount of non-subscription-based revenue and reseller activity from period to period. These changes primarily affect our domain-focused offerings, which were previously included in our former domain segment.
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2020: ARPS
For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, consolidated ARPS decreased from $19.52 to $19.01, respectively. This decrease in ARPS was driven primarily by decreases in ARPS from our web presence segment, partially offset by an increase in ARPS from our digital marketing segment.
Web presence ARPS decreased from $13.80 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $13.50 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily the result of new subscriber additions in our domain-focused and international brands, which generally have lower ARPS, particularly for introductory pricing (which is typically lower than renewal pricing). In addition, non-subscription-based revenue decreased from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, causing ARPS to decrease by $0.11.
Digital marketing ARPS increased from $69.11 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $69.50 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to increased purchases from existing subscribers, partially offset by the impact of the divestiture of SinglePlatform, which had contributed $7.0 million of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss), excluding the impact of interest expense (net), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization of other intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring expenses, transaction expenses and charges, (gain) loss of unconsolidated entities, impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and shareholder litigation reserve. We view adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and believe it helps investors evaluate and compare our core operating performance from period to period.
The following table reflects the reconciliation of net (loss) income calculated in accordance with GAAP to adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2020: Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA
Net loss on a consolidated basis improved from a loss of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to a loss of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The primary factors driving this improvement were a $4.4 million decrease in interest expense, a $4.3 million decrease in costs impacting cost of revenue, a $3.8 million decrease in amortization expense, a $1.9 million decrease in costs impacting general and administrative expense, and a $1.1 million decrease in income tax expense. These factors were partially offset by lower revenue of $8.5 million, mostly due to the disposition of SinglePlatform, which contributed revenue of $7.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019; a $3.4 million increase in costs impacting engineering and development expense, primarily labor related; a $1.5 million increase in depreciation expense; and a $0.8 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Net loss for our web presence segment improved from $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This improvement in net loss was primarily related to a $3.9 million decrease in interest expense, a $3.8 million decrease in costs impacting cost of revenue, a $2.2 million decrease in amortization, a $0.9 million decrease in costs impacting general and administrative, and a $0.7 million decrease in income tax expense. These

47


factors were partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in revenue, a $2.1 million increase in engineering and development costs, a $1.5 million increase in depreciation expense, a $1.0 million increase in sales and marketing costs, and a $0.7 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Net income for our digital marketing segment decreased from $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease in net income was primarily due to a $4.8 million decline in revenue, primarily due to the disposition of SinglePlatform, partially offset by increased purchases from existing customers. Higher engineering and development costs also contributed to the decrease. These factors were partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in amortization expense, a $1.0 million decrease in general and administrative costs, and decreases in sales and marketing costs, restructuring expenses, cost of revenue, income tax expense and interest expense.
Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis decreased from $78.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $72.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease in adjusted EBITDA was a result of the adjusted EBITDA decrease in our web presence and digital marketing segments, as discussed below.
Adjusted EBITDA for our web presence segment decreased from $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.7 million decline in revenue, a $2.1 million increase in engineering and development costs, and a $1.0 million increase in sales and marketing costs. These factors were partially offset by $3.8 million of cost reductions impacting cost of revenue and a $0.9 million reduction in costs impacting general and administrative expense.
Adjusted EBITDA for our digital marketing segment decreased from $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $38.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was due to the disposition of SinglePlatform, which contributed $1.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended March 31, 2019, and to investments in engineering and development programs.
Free Cash Flow
For a discussion of free cash flow, see Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Components of Operating Results
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily from selling subscriptions for our cloud-based products and services. The subscriptions we offer are similar across all of our brands and are provided under contracts pursuant to which we have ongoing obligations to support the subscriber. These contracts are generally for service periods of up to 36 months and typically require payment in advance at the time of initiating the subscription for the entire subscription period. Typically, we also have arrangements in place to automatically renew a subscription at the end of the subscription period. Due to factors such as discounted introductory pricing, our renewal fees may be higher than our initial subscription. A majority of our web presence segment subscriptions have terms of 24 months or less, while our digital marketing segment sells subscriptions that are mostly one-month terms. We also earn revenue from the sale of domain name registrations, premium domains and non-term based products and services, such as certain online security products and professional technical services as well as through referral fees and commissions.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes costs of operating our customer support organization, fees we pay to register domain names for our customers, costs of operating our data center infrastructure, such as technical personnel costs associated with monitoring and maintaining our network operations, fees we pay to third-party product and service providers, and merchant fees we pay as part of our billing processes. We also allocate to cost of revenue the depreciation and amortization related to these activities and the intangible assets we have acquired, as well as a portion of our overhead costs attributable to our employees engaged in customer support activities. In addition, cost of revenue includes stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in support and network operations. Excluding potential impacts of future changes in operations, we generally expect cost of revenue to decrease on an absolute dollar basis due to an anticipated decrease in amortization expense on our existing intangible assets.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is the difference between revenue and cost of revenue. Gross profit has fluctuated from period to period in large part as a result of revenue and cost of revenue adjustments from purchase accounting impacts related to acquisitions, as well as revenue and cost of revenue impacts related to developments in our business. With respect to revenue, the application of purchase accounting requires us to record purchase accounting adjustments for acquired deferred revenue, which reduces the revenue recorded from acquisitions for a period of time after the acquisition. The impact generally normalizes within a year following the acquisition. With respect to cost of revenue, the application of purchase accounting requires us to defer domain registration costs, which reduces cost of revenue, and record long-lived assets at fair value, which increases cost of revenue

48


through an increase in amortization expense over the estimated useful life of the long-lived assets. For a new customer that we bring on to our platform, we typically recognize revenue over the term of the subscription, even though we collect the subscription fee at the initial billing. As a result, our gross profit may be affected by the prices we charge for our subscriptions, as well as by the number of new subscribers and the terms of their subscriptions. We expect our gross profit to increase in absolute dollars in future periods, and that our gross profit margin will also increase as amortization expense related to our intangible assets declines.
Operating Expense
We classify our operating expense into three main categories: sales and marketing, engineering and development, and general and administrative.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense primarily consists of costs associated with bounty payments to our network of online partners, search engine marketing, or SEM, and search engine optimization, or SEO, general awareness and brand building activities, as well as the cost of employees engaged in sales and marketing activities. Sales and marketing expense also includes costs associated with sales of products as well as stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in sales and marketing activities. Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue may increase or decrease in a given period, depending on the cost of attracting new customers to our solutions, changes in how we invest in different customer acquisition channels, changes in how we approach SEM and SEO and the extent of general awareness and brand building activities we may undertake, as well as the efficiency of our sales and support personnel and our ability to sell more products and services to our subscribers and drive favorable returns on invested marketing dollars.
Engineering and Development
Engineering and development expense includes the cost of employees engaged in enhancing our technology platform and our systems, developing and expanding product and service offerings, and integrating technology capabilities from our acquisitions. Engineering and development expense includes stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in engineering and development activities. Our engineering and development expense does not include costs of leasing and operating our data center infrastructure, such as technical personnel costs associated with monitoring and maintaining our network operations and fees we pay to third-party product and service providers, which are included in cost of revenue.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense includes the cost of employees engaged in corporate functions, such as finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, legal and executive management. General and administrative expense also includes insurance premiums, professional service fees, and costs incurred related to regulatory and litigation matters. General and administrative expense includes stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in general and administrative activities.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of costs related to, and interest paid on, our indebtedness. We include in our calculation of interest expense the cash cost of interest payments and loan financing fees, the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discounts and the amortization of the net present value adjustment which we may apply to some deferred consideration payments related to our acquisitions in our calculation of interest expense. Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents balances.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
We estimate our income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse. We reduce our deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. We consider relevant evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Information evaluated includes our financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and an evaluation of currently available information about future years.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments 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 expense during the reported periods. We base our estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical

49


experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from the estimates, judgments and assumptions made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates, judgments and assumptions and our actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected.
We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates are the assumptions and estimates associated with the following:
revenue recognition
goodwill
long-lived assets
business combinations
derivative instruments
depreciation and amortization
income taxes
stock-based compensation arrangements
segment information
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2019. For further information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on February 14, 2020.

Revenue decreased by $8.5 million, or 3%, from $280.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $272.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was attributable to a $4.8 million decline in revenue from our digital marketing segment and a $3.7 million decline in revenue from our web presence segment, each of which are further discussed below.
Web presence segment revenue decreased by $3.7 million, or 2%, from $177.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $174.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily the result of lower revenue in our non-strategic brands discussed in the Overview section above, and to a lesser extent, a $1.2 million reduction in non-subscription-based revenue, primarily due to a decline in premium domain sales. These factors were partially offset by increased revenue in our strategic brands, in the aggregate.
Digital marketing segment revenue decreased by $4.8 million, or 5%, from $102.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $97.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was due to the disposition of SinglePlatform, which contributed $7.0 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by increased purchases from existing subscribers.
Our revenue is generated primarily from our products and services delivered on a subscription basis, which include web hosting, domains, website builders, email marketing, SEM and other similar services. We also generate non-subscription-based revenue through domain monetization and marketing development funds. Non-subscription-based revenue decreased from $8.2 million, or 3% of total revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $6.9 million, or 3% of total revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to decreases in premium domains and marketing development funds revenue. Our revenue from sales of premium domains from our BuyDomains brand has been, and is likely to continue to be, negatively affected by lower demand in the secondary market for domain names.

Gross profit decreased by $0.9 million, or 1%, from $156.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $155.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in gross profit from our digital marketing segment, which was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in web presence segment gross profit. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased by one percentage point year over year, from 56% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to 57% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Web presence segment gross profit increased by $1.4 million, or 2%, from $82.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $84.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to decrease in cost of revenue, primarily due to lower support costs and domain registration costs, partially offset by the decline in web presence segment revenue, as described above. Our web presence gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased by one percentage point year over year, from 47% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to 48% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Digital marketing segment gross profit decreased by $2.3 million, or 3%, from $74.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $71.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in revenue, due to the disposition of SinglePlatform as described above, partially offset by lower cost of revenue, mostly due to lower amortization expense. Our digital marketing gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased by one percentage point year over year, from 72% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to 73% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased by $0.6 million, or 1%, from $66.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $67.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Web presence segment sales and marketing expense increased by $1.2 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in digital marketing segment sales and marketing expense of $0.6 million.
Sales and marketing expense for our web presence segment increased by $1.2 million, or 3%, from $38.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher labor costs and higher marketing program spend.
Sales and marketing expense for our digital marketing segment decreased by $0.6 million, or 2%, from $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This slight decrease was primarily due to the disposition of SinglePlatform, partially offset by an increase in marketing program spend.
Engineering and Development. Engineering and development expense increased by $3.2 million, or 13%, from $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Web presence segment engineering and development expense increased by $2.3 million and digital marketing segment engineering and development expense increased by $0.9 million. Both of these cost increases were primarily related to higher labor costs as we continue to invest in our engineering and development resources.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expense decreased by $0.5 million, or 2%, from $31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $30.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to labor-related cost decreases, and to a lesser extent, the disposition of SinglePlatform, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. Our general and administrative expense primarily consists of consolidated corporate-wide shared functions, and the costs of these functions are allocated between our two segments primarily based on relative revenues.
General and administrative expense for our web presence segment increased by $0.2 million, or 1%, from $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to labor-related costs. General and administrative expense for our digital marketing segment decreased by $0.7 million, or 7%, from $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to lower labor-related costs and the divestiture of SinglePlatform.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, we recognized an income tax expense of $1.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to a federal and state current income tax expense of $1.2 million and a foreign current tax expense of $1.0 million, partially offset by a federal and state deferred tax benefit of $1.4 million and a foreign deferred tax benefit of $0.1 million. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to a federal and state current income tax expense of $2.2 million and a foreign current tax expense of $0.4 million, partially offset by a federal and state deferred tax benefit of $0.9 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
We have funded our operations since inception primarily with cash flows generated by operations, borrowings under our credit facilities and public offerings of our securities.
First Lien Term Loan Facility. We entered into our current first lien term loan facility, which we refer to as the "Term Loan," on June 20, 2018. The Term Loan was issued at par with an original balance of $1,580.3 million and has a maturity date of February 9, 2023. The Term Loan automatically bears interest at an alternate base rate unless we give notice to opt for the LIBOR-based interest rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate for the Term Loan is 3.75% per annum plus the greater of an adjusted LIBOR and 1.00%. The alternate base rate for the Term Loan is 2.75% per annum plus the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, an adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, and 2.00%. The Term Loan requires quarterly mandatory repayments of principal. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made one mandatory repayment of $7.9 million.
Revolving Credit Facility. We entered into our current revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the "Revolver," on February 9, 2016. The Revolver has an aggregate available amount of $165.0 million and consists of a non-extended tranche of approximately $58.8 million and an extended tranche of approximately $106.2 million. The non-extended tranche has a maturity date of February 9, 2021. The extended tranche has a maturity date of June 20, 2023, with a "springing" maturity date of November 10, 2022 if the Term Loan has not been repaid in full or otherwise extended to September 19, 2023 or later prior to November 10, 2022. We have the ability to draw down against the Revolver using a LIBOR-based interest rate or an alternate base rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate for a non-extended revolving loan is 4.00% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) and for an extended revolving loan is 3.25% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down), in each case plus an adjusted LIBOR for a selected interest period. The alternate base rate for a non-extended revolving loan is 3.00% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) and for an extended revolving loan is 2.25% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down), in each case plus the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and an adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%. We are also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) to the lenders based on the average daily unused principal amount of the Revolver.
We refer to the Term Loan and the Revolver together as the "Senior Credit Facilities."
Senior Notes. Our wholly owned subsidiary, EIG Investors Corp., issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which we refer to as the "Senior Notes," on February 9, 2016. The Senior Notes were issued at a price of 98.065% of par and have a maturity date of February 1, 2024. The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 10.875% per annum. We have the right to redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time for a premium which is based on the applicable redemption date. On January 30, 2017, we completed a registered exchange offer for the Senior Notes, as required under the registration rights agreement we entered into with the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes. All of the $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes was validly tendered for exchange as part of this exchange offer. The registration rights agreement also obligated us to use reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement providing for the registration of certain secondary transactions in the Senior Notes by Goldman, Sachs & Co. and its affiliates. The Senior Notes have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by us and our subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Credit Facilities. During three months ended March 31, 2020, we made two voluntary, privately negotiated redemptions of $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for a total redemption of $3.0 million. The redemptions were made at a discount of 98.5% and 93.0%, respectively, for an immaterial net gain on redemption of $0.0 million, after recording a charge of $0.1 million, included in interest expense, to write off OID and deferred financing costs relating to the redemption.
As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $111.8 million and negative working capital of $279.8 million, which included the $31.6 million current portion of the Term Loan. There was no balance outstanding on the Revolver as of March 31, 2020. In addition, we had approximately $1,665.9 million of long-term indebtedness, including deferred financing costs, outstanding under the Term Loan and the Senior Notes. We also had $479.6 million of short-term and long-term deferred revenue, which is not expected to be payable in cash.
COVID-19 and CARES Act Impacts

53


We are tracking our liquidity and capital resources closely in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and at this time, we believe we have adequate liquidity resources available to manage COVID-19 impacts and to continue our progress against our operating plan. We expect that our healthcare expenses may increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also expect to see tax-related liquidity benefits from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, emergency economic stimulus legislation enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act contains numerous tax-related changes, including provisions that we anticipate, based upon our initial assessments, will allow us to defer our 2020 cash tax payments; defer the employer portion of our 2020 FICA taxes to 2021 and 2022; fully deduct our interest expense for 2019; accelerate a refund of our available alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits; and increase our permitted level of 2019 federal net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards from approximately $26.0 million to $77.0 million. We are continuing to review the tax-related provisions of the CARES Act and their potential impact on us. Please see the risk factors disclosed in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of the potential impact of COVID-19 on our business.
LIBOR Phase-Out
The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced in 2017 that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. We are evaluating the impact of the expected discontinuation of LIBOR on our Term Loan, Revolver, outstanding interest rate cap, and other contracts. Please refer to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020, for a discussion of potential risks regarding the LIBOR phase-out.
Debt Covenants
Senior Credit Facilities
The Senior Credit Facilities require that we comply with a financial covenant to maintain a maximum ratio of consolidated senior secured indebtedness to Bank Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below).
The Senior Credit Facilities contain covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of capital stock; make other restricted payments; make certain investments; sell or transfer certain assets; create liens on certain assets to secure debt; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. Additionally, the Senior Credit Facilities require us to comply with certain negative covenants and specify certain events of default that could result in amounts becoming payable, in whole or in part, prior to their maturity dates.
With the exception of certain equity interests and other excluded assets under the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities, substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral for the obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities.
Senior Notes
The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of capital stock; make other restricted payments; make certain investments; sell or transfer certain assets; create liens on certain assets to secure debt; consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. Upon a change of control as defined in the indenture, we or EIG Investors Corp. must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but not including, the repurchase date. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.
The indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, may permit or, in certain circumstances, require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately.
We were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes at March 31, 2020.
Secured Net Leverage Ratio
The Senior Credit Facilities require that we comply with a financial covenant not to exceed a maximum ratio of consolidated senior secured net indebtedness on the date of determination to an adjusted consolidated EBITDA measure, which we refer to as "Bank Adjusted EBITDA," for the most recently completed four quarters (which we refer to as trailing twelve months, or "TTM"). This net leverage ratio is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and may not exceed 6.00 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with this covenant. Bank Adjusted EBITDA is defined in the credit agreement that governs our Senior Credit Facilities, and is different from the Adjusted EBITDA metric discussed above in the Key Metrics section.

54


The credit agreement defines consolidated senior secured net indebtedness as our and our restricted subsidiaries' aggregate amount of indebtedness that is secured by a lien not expressly subordinated to the liens securing the Senior Credit Facilities. Consolidated senior secured net indebtedness is determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and consists only of indebtedness for borrowed money, unreimbursed obligations under letters of credit, obligations with respect to financed equipment and debt obligations evidenced by promissory notes and similar instruments, minus the aggregate amount of cash and permitted investments, excluding cash and permitted investments that are restricted.
The credit agreement defines Bank Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude, among other things, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Bank Adjusted EBITDA also adjusts net income (loss) by excluding certain non-cash foreign exchange gains (losses), certain gains (losses) from sale of assets, stock-based compensation, unusual and non-recurring expenses (including acquisition related costs, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, and loss on impairment of tangible or intangible assets). It also adjusts net income (loss) for revenue on a billed basis, changes in deferred domain costs, share of loss (profit) of unconsolidated entities, and certain integration related costs. Finally, it adjusts net income (loss) to give pro forma effect to acquisitions, debt incurrences, repayments of debt, other specified transactions and certain cost savings on a TTM basis.
We use Bank Adjusted EBITDA to monitor our secured net leverage ratio and our ability to undertake key investing and financing functions such as making investments and incurring additional indebtedness, which may be prohibited by the covenants under our credit agreement unless we comply with certain financial ratios and tests.
Bank Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our liquidity and is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Bank Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to revenue, net income (loss), cash flow, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of Bank Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies.

As of March 31, 2020, our secured net leverage ratio on a TTM basis was 4.06 to 1.00 and was calculated as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were primarily held for working capital purposes and for required principal and interest payments under our indebtedness. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents was held in operating accounts. Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.5 million, from $111.3 million at December 31, 2019 to $111.8 million at March 31, 2020. Of the $111.8 million cash and cash equivalents we had at March 31, 2020, $29.6 million was held in foreign countries, and due to tax and accounting reasons, we do not plan to repatriate this cash in the near future. We used cash on hand at December 31, 2019 and cash flows from operations to purchase property and equipment and to make our debt payments on our Term Loan, as described under "Financing Activities" below. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including, but not limited to our growth rate, our level of sales and marketing activities, the development and introduction of new and enhanced products and services, market acceptance of our solutions, potential settlements of legal proceedings, acquisitions, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our business, and our gross profits and operating expenses. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements, as well as our required principal and interest payments under our indebtedness, for at least the next 12 months.
The following table shows our purchases of property and equipment, principal payments on financed equipment obligations, depreciation, amortization and cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the stated periods:

Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures on the purchase of property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 were $5.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively. This increase was primarily due to investments in software, construction in process, and data center equipment. The remaining balance payable on the equipment financing was $6.7 million as of March 31, 2020. We expect our capital expenditures to remain roughly consistent with fiscal year 2019 levels in the near term.
Depreciation
Our depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 increased by $1.5 million from $11.2 million to $12.7 million, respectively. This increase was primarily due to additional investments in plant, property and equipment, particularly software, and computers and office equipment.
Amortization
Our amortization expense, which includes amortization of other intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of net present value of deferred consideration, decreased by $3.6 million from $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Of this decrease in amortization expense, $3.8 million related to lower amortization expense of intangible assets relating to businesses and assets acquired. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million relating to increased amortization of deferred financing costs and an increase of $0.1 million relating to amortization of original issue discounts related to our Senior Credit Facilities.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairment charges, if any, and changes in deferred taxes, and the effect of changes in working capital, in particular in deferred revenue. As we add subscribers to our platform, we typically collect subscription fees at the time of initial billing and recognize revenue over the terms of the subscriptions. Accordingly, we generate operating cash flows as we collect cash from our subscribers in advance of delivering the related products and services, and we maintain a significant deferred revenue balance.

57


Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $34.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily the result of the payment of $5.8 million to settle a securities class action lawsuit in the first quarter of 2019, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2020; lower payments for interest of $4.8 million, due to lower balances and lower interest rates; lower payments for taxes in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 of $1.9 million; the timing of certain payments, particularly related to payroll; lower payments relating to bonuses in the first quarter of 2020; and the impact on working capital of $2.6 million from an increase in the balance of deferred revenue.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities consist primarily of the purchase of property and equipment, acquisition consideration payments, and changes in restricted cash balances.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $5.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively, which was used to purchase property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities consist primarily of the net change in our overall indebtedness, payment of associated financing costs, payment of deferred consideration for our acquisitions and the issuance or repurchase of equity.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, cash flows used in financing activities was $23.6 million. We paid $11.6 million for the repurchase of shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program. We paid $7.9 million of mandatory principal payments related to our Term Loan and $2.8 million for privately negotiated redemptions of our Senior Notes. We also made $1.3 million of principal payments related to financed equipment obligations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash flows used in financing activities was $27.6 million. We paid $25.0 million of principal payments related to our Term Loan, including one mandatory repayment of $7.9 million and one voluntary prepayment of $17.1 million. We also made $2.6 million of principal payments related to financed equipment obligations.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow, or FCF, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as GAAP cash flows from operations less capital expenditures and financed equipment obligations. We believe that FCF provides investors with an indicator of our ability to generate positive cash flows after meeting our obligations with regard to capital expenditures (including property, plant and financed equipment).
The following table reflects the reconciliation of cash flows from operations to free cash flow:

(1) Capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes $2.6 million of principal payments under a three-year agreement for equipment financing. Capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes $1.3 million of principal payments under a three-year agreement for equipment financing. The remaining balance on the equipment financing is $6.7 million as of March 31, 2020.
FCF increased by approximately $16.7 million, from $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. FCF was favorably impacted mainly due to the following factors: the payment of $5.8 million to settle a securities class action lawsuit in the first quarter of 2019, which did not recur in the first quarter of 2020; lower payments for interest of $4.8 million, due to lower balances and lower interest rates; lower payments for taxes in the first quarter of 2020 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 of $1.9 million; the timing of certain payments, particularly related to payroll; lower payments relating to bonuses in the first quarter of 2020; and the impact on the working capital of $2.6 million from an increase in the balance of deferred revenue. These increases in FCF were partially offset by increases in capital expenditures of $4.5 million, primarily due to investments in software construction in process and data center equipment, which were partially offset by lower principal payments on financed equipment obligations of $1.3 million.

Net Operating Loss (NOL) Carry-forwards
As of December 31, 2019, we had NOL carry-forwards available to offset future U.S. federal taxable income of approximately $26.9 million and future state taxable income of approximately $78.0 million. These NOL carry-forwards expire on various dates through 2039.
As discussed above, based upon our initial assessments, we anticipate that the CARES Act emergency economic stimulus legislation enacted on March 27, 2020 will increase our permitted level of 2019 NOL carry-forwards from approximately $26.9 million to approximately $77.0 million.
We are currently expecting to utilize the majority of these NOL carry-forwards in the near term.
As of December 31, 2019, we had recorded the following tax attributes available to be carried forward. This table does not give effect to the impact of the CARES Act.

Utilization of the U.S. NOL carry-forwards may be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership percentage change limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which we refer to as Section 382 Limitations. Ownership changes can limit the amount of net operating loss and other tax attributes that a company can use each year to offset future taxable income and taxes payable. Although we have experienced a number of ownership changes over time, we do not currently have any Section 382 Limitations on our ability to utilize NOL carry-forwards.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020, except as it relates to our long-term debt obligations and lease

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For information on recent accounting pronouncements, see Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include primarily foreign exchange risk, interest rate and inflation.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A significant majority of our subscription agreements and our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. We do, however, have sales in a number of foreign currencies as well as business operations in Brazil and India and are subject to the impacts of currency fluctuations in those markets. The impact of these currency fluctuations is insignificant relative to the overall financial results of our company.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We had cash and cash equivalents of $111.8 million at March 31, 2020, the majority of which was held in operating accounts for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes, which includes payment of principal and interest under our indebtedness. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $1,366.1 million outstanding under our Term Loan, $347.0 million outstanding under the Senior Notes and $0.0 million outstanding under the Revolver.
The Term Loan automatically bears interest at an alternate base rate unless we give notice to opt for the LIBOR-based interest rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate for the Term Loan is 3.75% per annum plus the greater of an adjusted LIBOR and 1.00%. The alternate base rate for the Term Loan is 2.75% per annum plus the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, an adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, and 2.00%.
We have the ability to draw down against the Revolver using a LIBOR-based interest rate or an alternate base rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate for a non-extended revolving loan is 4.00% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) and for an extended revolving loan is 3.25% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down), in each case plus an adjusted LIBOR for a selected interest period. The alternate base rate for a non-extended revolving loan is 3.00% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) and for an extended revolving loan is 2.25% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down), in each case plus the greatest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and an adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%. We are also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum (subject to a leverage-based step-down) to the lenders based on the average daily unused principal amount of the Revolver.
Based on our aggregate indebtedness outstanding under our Term Loan of $1,366.1 million as of March 31, 2020, a 100 basis point increase in the current LIBOR rate would result in a $14.6 million increase in our aggregate interest payments over a 12-month period, and a 100 basis point decrease in the current LIBOR rate would result in a $9.3 million decrease in our interest payments.
We have entered into two interest rate caps as part of our risk management strategy. The three-year interest rate cap we entered into in December 2015 limited our exposure beginning on February 29, 2016 to interest rate increases over 2.00% on $500.0 million of our Term Loan. The December 2015 interest rate cap matured in February 2019. The three-year interest rate cap we entered into in June 2018 limits our exposure beginning on August 28, 2018 to interest rate increases over 3.00% on $800.0 million of our Term Loan. The LIBOR interest rate applicable to our Term Loan as of March 31, 2020 was approximately 1.64%.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2020, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as

61


defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently involved in any such legal proceeding or subject to any such claim that, in the opinion of our management, would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. However, the results of such legal proceedings or claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
As previously disclosed, we were named as a defendant in a shareholder litigation matter. For more information on this legal proceeding, see Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or the 2019 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020, except as set forth below.
Due to the extensive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the risks disclosed in the risk factors included in the 2019 Form 10-K may now be more likely to occur or have occurred, as described in the new COVID-19 risk factor below. You should read the additional risk factors below together with the risk factors included in the 2019 Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.
COVID-19 was identified in late 2019 and has spread globally. Authorities have enacted numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns. These measures have adversely impacted and may further impact our customers, our partners and suppliers, and our own workforce and operations.
We expect that a number of our customers will experience financial challenges as a result of COVID-19 and related containment measures. This may cause them to cancel their subscriptions or allow them to lapse or reduce the number or value of products they buy from us. It may also become more difficult or costly for us to acquire new subscribers if SMBs or other potential customers cut back their spending due to financial constraints or general economic uncertainty. Although it is too early to predict the extent of the pandemic’s effects on our business, it could have a material adverse impact, particularly if the spread of COVID-19 accelerates and/or containment measures are extended or become more restrictive.
The COVID-19 pandemic may also disrupt our operations and increase our costs. For instance, our 2020 healthcare costs for our US-based employees may be higher than anticipated, since we are self-insured. In addition, our customer support partners, suppliers, vendors and their workforces have been impacted by the virus and related containment measures, in some cases significantly. If these impacts persist, we could see increased costs or disruptions affecting our customer support functions, supply chain or operations, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

62


With respect to our own workforce and internal operations, we have transitioned substantially all of our employees to work from home. While the transition has generally been smooth to date, we may encounter challenges managing employee productivity and morale and maintaining certain controls, compliance standards, and risk management practices in a remote environment. Maintaining a remote work environment entails certain cybersecurity and data privacy risks, which may become more complex or costly to manage if our workforce must work from home for a protracted period. Finally, despite containment measures by the authorities and our own precautionary and planning efforts, it is possible that a portion of our employees in one or more locations could contract COVID-19, which could negatively affect our ability to carry out our day-to-day operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased macroeconomic and demand uncertainty, and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. The pandemic has already caused an economic contraction, and it is possible that it could lead to a global recession. We are closely monitoring the pandemic’s impact on our cash flows and balance sheet, and at this time, we do not expect significant liquidity constraints or asset impairments due to the pandemic. However, a recession or sustained capital markets disruption would likely have an adverse impact on our cash flows, balance sheet, and business in general, which could result in impairments and liquidity challenges, including difficulties refinancing our outstanding indebtedness at a reasonable cost.
The ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the extent of its impact on our financial and operational results, will depend on numerous factors, including whether current containment measures are successful in limiting the spread of the virus and when and to what extent more typical economic activity can resume. We cannot at this time predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.
Our restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers and employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to this provision of our restated certificate of incorporation. This choice of forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim that does not arise under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act in a judicial forum that the stockholder finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees even though such an action or proceeding, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. Stockholders who do bring a claim in the Court of Chancery could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. The Court of Chancery may also reach different judgments or results than other courts would, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or might otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments or results may be more favorable to us than to our stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our restated certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On March 10, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $40.0 million of our common stock on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
We will determine the timing and amount of shares repurchased, if any, depending on our evaluation of market and other conditions. We expect to fund any repurchases using cash on hand and cash generated from operations. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Shares that we repurchase are held in treasury for general corporate purposes, including issuances under equity incentive plans. The reissuance of shares from treasury stock is based on the weighted average purchase price of the shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 7,603,620 shares at a weighted average price of $1.62 per share, for a total cost, including expenses, of approximately $12.4 million under the program. Of these shares, 2,603,620 shares were repurchased in open market transactions pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, and 5,000,000 were repurchased in a privately

63


negotiated transaction with Okumus Fund Management Ltd., a holder of more than 5% of our capital stock. See Note 17, Related Party Transactions, to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of March 31, 2020, of the $40.0 million authorized amount, we had approximately $27.7 million remaining available under the share repurchase program.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Disclosures of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act
Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, or ITRA, which added Section 13(r) to the Exchange Act, we are required to disclose in our annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether we or any of our affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with certain individuals or entities that are subject to sanctions under U.S. law. Disclosure is generally required even where the activities, transactions or dealings were conducted in compliance with applicable law.
On January 24, 2020, our subsidiary MyDomain, LLC, or MyDomain, suspended the domain names FarsNews.com, FarsNews.org and FarsNews.net, or the FarsNews Domain Names, which are potentially associated with the Government of Iran. MyDomain’s records indicate that it collected a total of USD $216.84 for products and services in connection with the subscriber account associated with the FarsNews Domain Names since the subscriber account was migrated to our servers on or about August 10, 2012, following our acquisition of MyDomain on July 22, 2011. MyDomain reported the FarsNews Domain Names to the Office of Foreign Assets Control as property potentially associated with the Government of Iran subject to blocking pursuant to 31 C.F.R. §560.304.
