Overview

We were incorporated in Delaware in February 2001, with a mission to change the way that work gets done. We believe that our social business platform drives top line revenue and cost savings by unleashing creativity, driving innovation and improving productivity through increased engagement within the enterprise, as well as with customers and partners. We believe that, just as consumer social technologies have changed the way we live, social business technologies are evolving into an increasingly important business tool that is changing the way we work.

We provide a social business platform that we believe improves business results by enabling a more productive and effective workforce through enhanced communications and collaboration both inside and outside the enterprise. We believe our platform is intuitive, easy to use, flexible and scalable, and can be provided as a public cloud service or as a private cloud solution. We are focused on unlocking the power of the enterprise social graph—the extended social network of an enterprise, encompassing relationships among its employees, customers and partners, as well as their interactions with people, content, and business information.

Organizations deploy our platform to improve strategic decision making and employee productivity, enhance revenue opportunities, lower operational costs and increase customer retention. Our customers use our platform across broad business use cases, such as strategic alignment, that involve all employees, as well as functional use cases that improve the results of specific business activities such as sales execution or customer service.

Table of Contents

Our social business software has been recognized as a leading platform by industry analysts. Gartner has recognized us as a market leader in two distinct reports in the third quarter of 2012: the “Magic Quadrant for Social Software for the Workplace” and the “Magic Quadrant for Social Customer Relationship Management.”

We sell our platform primarily through a direct sales force both domestically and internationally. As of December 31, 2012, we had 800 enterprise Jive Platform customers. Some of our top new customers by annual contract value for the year ended December 31, 2012 include the Aetna, AIA Group, Cameron International Corporation, Chubb Insurance and PwC US.

Recent Developments

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we acquired Bitplay, Inc. (“Meetings.io”), a next-generation real-time communication platform, which allows people to seamlessly and simply chat or have face-to-face video conversations with anyone around the world via a web browser, and we also acquired Producteev LLC, a leader in cloud-based social task management with an existing global customer base. Using Producteev, individuals and teams can collaborate on tasks and manage work across a multitude of platforms in seconds – including desktops, email, instant messenger clients and mobile devices.

Our Industry

The Need for a New Way to Business

Modern businesses are weighed down by a simple reality: their most valuable employees spend the majority of their time processing email and searching for information and expertise. This reality was detailed in a recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute entitled The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies. After examining business sectors representing almost 20 percent of global sales, they concluded “that between $900 billion and $1.3 trillion in value can be unlocked through the use of social technologies….” and that “two-thirds of the value creation opportunity afforded by social technologies lies in improving communications and collaboration within and across enterprises.”

We believe these findings underscore the necessity for a new generation of business technology. Many common enterprise technology platforms are based on business processes and software architectures that were originally designed in the 1980s and 1990s and thus are limited in their ability to leverage modern, Internet-based technologies and standards. Further, we believe, unlike consumer social networking applications, which are organized around people, most enterprise applications are architected to support rigid processes, transactions, and records. As a result of these data-centric architectures and legacy deployment models, we believe enterprises and their employees, customers and partners struggle to effectively communicate, collaborate, and adapt to changing business opportunities. We believe social business platforms have begun to augment and displace the functionality of, and capture budget historically set aside for, adjacent application areas, including content management, customer relationship management, marketing automation and enterprise portals.

Adoption of Social Business Platforms

Social business platforms have the potential to significantly improve how enterprises collaborate and share information with employees, customers and partners. We believe the deployment of social business platforms is becoming a mission critical initiative for business and IT executives. In the McKinsey report cited above, they explain:

“Social technologies have literally changed how millions of people live. People rely on their online social connections – often including friends and associates they have never met in person – for everything from advice on what movie to watch to positive reinforcement for behavior modification.

Businesses are changing their behaviors as well. In these few short years, social technology has evolved from simply another “new media” platform to an increasingly important business tool, with wide-ranging capabilities. Thousands of companies have found that social technologies can generate rich new forms of consumer insights — at lower cost and faster than conventional methods.

Companies are also enlisting social technology users to “crowdsource” product ideas and even to co-create new features. Social platforms have become a tool for managing procurement and logistics, allowing instant communication between different parties on B2B supply chains. Perhaps most intriguingly, companies are beginning to find that social technologies have enormous potential to raise the productivity of knowledge workers. Social technologies promise to extend the capabilities of such high-skill workers by streamlining communication and collaboration, lowering barriers between functional silos, and even redrawing the boundaries of the enterprise to bring in additional knowledge and expertise in extended networked enterprises.”

Requirements for Social Business Platforms

We believe that social business platforms need to incorporate the following key elements:

 

   

Uniform platform for the enterprise. Flexibility to address the entire business, individual departments, or specific use cases.

 

   

Internal and external communication. Enhance communication both inside and outside the enterprise and connect employees with customers and partners; engage customers in public communities and the social web.

 

   

Right content, right place, right time. Improve relevance of information delivered to each user and make content and people easily discoverable and accessible at the appropriate time.

 

   

Scalable and secure. Scale to meet the needs of the largest enterprises, while meeting increasingly complex security, compliance and regulatory requirements.

 

   

Seamless integration. Leverage information from disparate enterprise applications such as email content management and business systems of record delivered by multiple vendors.

 

   

Standards-based application framework. Enable the development of applications by enterprises and third-party developers to extend and integrate with the functionality of the social business platform.

 

   

Configurable and versatile. Simplify custom configuration for each individual business and offer a variety of features and functions via a unified platform.

 

   

Deployable in public or private cloud. Leverage the functional and cost advantages of being delivered via a public or private cloud deployment model.

 

   

Measurable. Measure the effectiveness of the platform in providing business value by tracking user activity, analyzing community metrics, and tying an action to a specific outcome.

Our Solution

We deliver a social business platform that features the innovation, creativity and ease of use found in consumer applications combined with the security, flexibility and scalability necessary for enterprise deployment.

Key Elements

 

   

Unified social platform for the enterprise. We offer an enterprise-class social platform, purpose-built to enable our customers to manage workplace communication and collaboration. Our solution can be deployed across all employees, functional departments and business units.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to extend our industry leadership in social business platforms. The principal elements of our strategy include:

 

   

Grow our customer base. In order to grow our customer base, we are investing heavily in our direct sales efforts. In particular, we intend to significantly invest in our sales organization in the United States, Europe, South America and Asia. Additionally, we plan to grow our indirect distribution efforts by increasing our network of channel partners. We have recently begun selling a new cloud-based offering initially targeted at making it easier for departments within a larger organization to get started using Jive and ultimately drive viral adoption within the larger organization.

 

   

Expand business with existing customers. We have successfully migrated, and intend to continue migrating, customers from a single external community or departmental deployment to broader implementations over time, including the upsell of additional users, page views, modules and additional communities. We will continue to focus on generating positive user experiences and tangible business results that we believe will drive incremental demand for our solutions.

 

   

Innovate and extend our technology and product leadership. We intend to expand our current platform and extend our product leadership by developing and acquiring innovative technologies and products, and leveraging the innovation of our partners in the Jive Apps Market. For example, in the third quarter of 2012 we introduced an update to our platform with the release of Jive 6.0, which includes new features such as custom attention streams, enhanced APIs, Jive Anywhere, super search, and consolidated inbox notifications, enabling a more comprehensive social experience.

 

   

Develop the Jive ecosystem. We intend to continue to develop the Jive ecosystem by enabling customers and other third parties to create applications that integrate with our platform. We further intend to increase the number of our Jive Alliance Partners that provide strategic advisory, business transformation and customization services for our solutions. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2012, we entered into a partnership with the consultancy, PwC US, which will pair our social business platform with PwC’s consulting services in order to help our customers implement and realize the benefits of our platform.

Our Platform

Our flagship product, the Jive Platform, offers industry-leading social business capabilities that enable employee, customer and partner engagement on a unified platform. The core platform can be expanded by adding optional modules, including Jive Present, Gamification, Ideation, Mobile, Video, and connectors into existing enterprise systems and applications. Our platform can also be extended to include cloud and customer-built applications through the Jive Apps Market. All of this activity and content is aggregated and presented to users via the Jive What Matters layer.

The Jive Platform

The Jive Platform serves two types of communities:

 

   

Employees. Our platform connects users across the enterprise and its functional departments, leveraging social intelligence, such as business relationships, expertise and areas of interest, to proactively provide relevant documents, discussions and other content to users.

 

   

Customers and partners. Our platform enables our customers to build and manage external communities to build their brand, increase interaction and feedback, and reduce their support costs through enhanced online communication with their own customers and business partners.

Core Platform Capabilities and Features

Our social business platform includes the following capabilities and features:

 

   

Social networking capability. The Jive Platform enables rich social profiles, visual enterprise directories, connections and expertise identification. Users can easily find, follow and access both people and data through structured spaces, including public and private social groups and projects. This provides users with up to the minute access to relevant and critical information.

 

   

Comprehensive communication environment. Our platform enables blogging, microblogging, discussions, real time chat and video conversations and direct messaging and aggregates these familiar methods of social communications into a social inbox to allow users to find relevant information quickly and easily.

 

   

Engaging social features. Our platform provides a streamlined and intuitive user interface and enables commenting, sharing Web bookmarks, “liking,” reviews and rating capabilities designed to capture the attention of a user and drive interaction and adoption.

 

   

Reputation and recognition. Our platform provides a variety of mechanisms for users to be recognized for their contributions to the community and to proactively build their reputations, including community status leaderboards, user achievement badges, and trending people and content.

 

   

Content and collaboration. Our platform includes wikis, document sharing, an easy-to-use rich text editor, and full-fidelity rendering of Microsoft Office documents and PDFs with inline commenting, allowing users to collaborate real-time. Our platform enhances collaboration by allowing users to control access to content at the individual, group or document level.

 

   

Search. Our platform includes advanced search capabilities to locate relevant people, content and groups using information captured in the enterprise social graph, such as users’ unique skills or profile information.

 

   

External groups. Our platform enables an enterprise to expand its operating ecosystem, bringing discussions and questions in external communities back into the enterprise and allows internal users to create an external group for secure, private, ad-hoc collaboration with non-employees.

 

   

Security. Our platform allows customers to control access to specific content and groups. In addition, it is designed to take advantage of and integrate with existing security and authentication systems.

 

   

Connections to enterprise systems. Our platform can integrate with numerous enterprise systems such as customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, software configuration management, or product lifecycle management systems, via our application programming interfaces, or APIs.

Jive What Matters

Jive What Matters is an innovative user interface that makes it easy to track, consume, manage and filter critical business information, communications and actions. A key component of Jive What Matters is a highly tuned enterprise activity stream that enables users to rapidly access, discover and interact with conversations, content and decisions. Our noise filtering capability addresses the challenges of information overload, helping users focus on mission critical, timely information. Additionally, Jive What Matters draws on real-time intelligence derived from the enterprise social graph to predict and recommend content, people and groups to users, based upon employee roles, positions and previous communications.

Jive Apps Market

The Jive Apps Market provides a secure market of business applications that are integrated to and accessed from within the Jive Platform. Built on the industry standards established by the OpenSocial Foundation, the Jive Apps Market enables customers and third parties to develop applications that provide access to existing enterprise applications and provides a secure way of deploying popular cloud-based applications. Developers can leverage the enterprise social graph to make applications more social and to broaden their reach. These applications can be easily found, purchased and installed by end-users, and allow our platform to be further extended and tailored to meet specific business needs in a variety of industries and business functions.

Jive Anywhere

Jive Anywhere enables users to import any content into the Jive Platform that can be viewed on a web browser. This application automatically connects conversation, content, and context within a user’s Jive network with any website or web application. Jive Anywhere helps users avoid complicated point-to-point integrations between their collaborative platform and other enterprise systems and websites by making it easy to discuss and share content with one click.

Platform Modules

Jive offers additional functionality in modules built to integrate with the Jive Platform.

Enterprise Integrations. Jive provides several pre-built integrations with common content management applications, communication systems and systems of record, including the following:

 

   

Microsoft Outlook. Enables users to interact with our platform from the familiar interface of Microsoft Outlook. Users can see activity streams and social profiles, comment on documents and blog posts, and create status updates and discussions, from within Microsoft Outlook. Users can also turn email threads into discussions and post email attachments directly to our platform. Users can use the search feature to include people, emails, appointments, and attachments from Microsoft Outlook, as well as documents and discussions from the Jive Platform.

 

   

Microsoft Office. Users can collaborate on Microsoft Office documents, including simultaneously co-authoring across different Microsoft Office versions, publishing content directly to our platform and participating in document discussions from directly within Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or Excel.

 

   

Content management systems. Content management systems, such as Microsoft SharePoint, can be integrated into our platform so that content can be shared across our platform and these systems. Users can search our platform and content management systems simultaneously and can access our social capabilities from within these systems.

 

   

Enterprise IM. Enterprise instant messaging systems, such as Microsoft Lync, can be integrated into our platform.

Jive Present. Jive Present enables sales teams to have the most up-to-date sales content at their fingertips on demand. Jive Present turns iPads into high-impact sales presentation tools, which are kept up to date by content provided directly by our platform. We believe that with Jive Present, a sales team can have the collateral, product information and customer intelligence needed to close deals quickly.

Advanced Gamification. We include base game mechanics as a standard feature. Our Advanced Gamification Module expands on these core features to deliver a more personalized, highly targeted experience. Advanced Gamification makes it easier to create custom missions and competitions to kickstart user participation and drive user behavior, such as encouraging sales reps to complete training or customer service agents to answer customer questions in a timely fashion.

Ideation. Our Ideation module involves employees, customers and partners in the process of capturing, refining and prioritizing innovative ideas. Once an idea is submitted, users can vote it up or down, and discuss ways to improve the idea. Those managing the ideation process can categorize ideas to keep participants up-to-date of progress.

Mobile. Our Mobile module enables users in both internal and external communities to access our platform from mobile devices. Users can search for people and content, participate in discussions and post status updates remotely. Because Jive Mobile is built on mobile standards such as HTML5, it is accessible on any Internet connected mobile device, including on mobile platforms such as Apple iOS, Google Android and Blackberry OS. The mobile interface can also be themed to reflect a company’s brand, ensuring a consistent brand experience. Additionally, Jive provides native mobile applications for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.

Video. The Jive Platform includes the ability to embed videos in different content types and to create a secure video storage, management and streaming service as part of an internal or external community.

Professional Services and Customer Support

Our professional services team provides a range of offerings including strategy consulting, project management, technical expertise, and education and training. Our team leads the design, implementation and launch of the Jive platform and seeks to ensure that our solution meets the design and implementation parameters established by our customers with clearly measurable business benefits. We also provide post-launch support and on-going assistance to encourage and facilitate adoption within the enterprise.

We offer training services to our customers and partners. We offer both traditional classroom-style, instructor-led training either in-person or over the web and online educational classes. We also provide a variety of training videos and quick start guides that are available online. Our education offerings are targeted at training partners, users, community mangers and system administrators.

Our global customer support organization provides both proactive and customer-initiated support. Assistance is available by email, telephone and self-service through our online Jive Community built on our social business platform. Customers can track the status and relevant information relating to their queries in real-time and have access to a wide range of information sharing utilities that facilitate access to both internal and external community feedback.

Our support team is staffed with experienced support specialists and engineers and has experience with the software systems with which our products integrate. We engage in regular training and certification processes as new products and technologies are introduced.

Our basic deployment includes silver level support. Our customers may contract for increased levels of support, which provides for higher required service levels for response times as well as additional support services.

Technology and Operations

Our platform drives business value for enterprises by bringing communication paradigms revolutionizing the consumer space into the workplace. We combine our intuitive and engaging user experience with capabilities necessary to meet the security, customization and integration needs of the enterprise corporate environment. Together, this drives substantial gains in key metrics of productivity, efficiency, quality and customer satisfaction. Our solutions leverage proven features of social media as well as in-house innovations to address the unique needs of today’s enterprises.

Our product portfolio brings the Jive experience to a broad set of platforms and applications and is designed to bring powerful communication capabilities and valuable context to users, regardless of where or how they are working. Our platform can be accessed from mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers; as a browser, Microsoft Office, or SharePoint plugin; and through a rich set of REST, JavaScript, and Objective C APIs. System integrators, third-party vendors and customers alike leverage our APIs to extend, customize, and integrate with our platform.

Our core application is written primarily in Java and is designed to run on both public and private cloud deployments. It runs on the Linux operating system and is compatible with Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL. In our public cloud, we are developing and porting an increasing portion of our offerings to multi-tenant architectures, many of which build upon the Hadoop family of technologies. Through connectivity to our cloud, private cloud deployments can also access such functionality, which includes Jive What Matters, the Jive Apps Market, and mobile. The Jive Platform integrates with existing enterprise systems and can be extended with new functionality through the utilization of a broad set of APIs. These APIs enable Jive Connects and the Jive Apps Market, and facilitate the building of custom integrations to our platform.

Our social business platform is provided through the public cloud or on-premise in a private cloud and leverages the same code base regardless of how it is deployed; however release schedules for Jive Cloud and our public cloud offering occur prior to release for our private cloud offering. In both our public cloud and private cloud deployments, our customers can customize our platform to meet their enterprise requirements for branding and security, through customer-specific domain names, SSL encryption and other mechanisms.

We host our public cloud platform for hundreds of our customers and millions of end-users. We work with large datacenter vendors to provide the international foundation of our social business platform. Our enterprise-class hardware platform provides high levels of performance, flexibility and security. We currently utilize multiple international data facilities located in North America and Europe, and we plan to add a data center in Asia in 2013. Each facility offers multiple network providers, as well as services to help ensure reliability, redundancy and performance. Through our partnership with SunGard Disaster Recovery Services, we maintain and operate additional facilities in geographically diverse locations for offsite backup storage and disaster recovery.

We are well on our way to completing our migration from the SunGard operating environment to co-located facilities managed by our internal network operations team. We expect to complete this migration in 2013. In connection with this migration, we have also developed technology that enables us to automate the process of deploying and upgrading customer environments. We continue to make significant investments in our hosting infrastructure to improve efficiency, performance, security and to increase our ability to scale our hosting environment. Our architecture and security team is based in our Palo Alto, California headquarters, and our network operations center and deployment teams are based in Portland, Oregon and London, U.K.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our platform primarily through our global direct sales organization. Our direct sales team is comprised of inside sales and field sales personnel who are organized by geographic regions, including North America, South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. We also work with channel partners, including resellers, leading global outsourcing vendors and system integrators. As of December 31, 2012, we had 154 employees in sales and marketing and we had over 100 Jive Alliance Partners distributing our platform worldwide, such as our alliance with the consultancy, PwC US.

We generate customer leads, accelerate sales opportunities and build brand awareness through our marketing programs. Our marketing programs target company executives, senior business leaders and technology professionals. Our principal marketing programs include:

Research and Development

We center much of our product development on the needs of our customers. We work closely with our user community to continually improve and enhance our platform through organic development and the acquisition of new products and features. We emphasize collaboration with customers throughout all areas of our organization in the development process. Our Jive Community allows customers to suggest, collaborate on and vote on new features and functionality. This input is utilized in many of our development plans and provides valuable customer insight that we use to establish the priorities of our engineering team. We also incorporate feedback from our employees, all of whom use our products daily and test alpha versions before each major release.

We also focus our research and development efforts on rapidly delivering new products and upgrades of our existing products to our customers. We leverage open source technology wherever appropriate and contribute many of the improvements we make back to the community. We maintain healthy code and adhere to sound engineering practices to ensure a fast pace of development. We have teams dedicated to developing and testing innovative new products and users experiences, advancing our core architecture and improving the speed and completeness of our automated continuous integration pipeline.

As of December 31, 2012, we had 181 employees in research and development.

Competition

The overall market for social business platform solutions is rapidly evolving and highly competitive, and subject to changing technology, shifting customer needs and frequent introductions of new products and services. We currently compete with large, well-established multi-solution enterprise software vendors, such as Microsoft and IBM, enterprise software application providers which are adding social features to their existing applications, such as salesforce.com, inc., and smaller specialized software vendors. Our primary competition currently comes from established enterprise software companies that have greater name recognition, larger customer bases, much longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than we have and are able to provide comprehensive business solutions that are broader in scope than the solution we offer. Additionally, we compete with smaller companies who may adapt better to changing conditions in the market.

We expect that the competitive landscape will change as the market for social business platforms consolidates and matures.

Table of Contents

We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include the following:

 

   

total cost of ownership;

 

   

breadth and depth of product functionality;

 

   

brand awareness and reputation;

 

   

ease of deployment and use of solutions;

 

   

level of customization, configurability, security, scalability and reliability of solutions;

 

   

ability to innovate and respond to customer needs rapidly;

 

   

perceived return on investment through the use of social technologies;

 

   

size of customer base and level of user adoption; and

 

   

ability to integrate with legacy enterprise infrastructures and third-party applications.

We believe that we compete favorably on the basis of these factors. Notwithstanding the fact that some of our competitors offer the basic versions of their products for free or as low-cost additions to other software suites, we have demonstrated that customers are willing to pay for the business value that our platform delivers. Our ability to remain competitive will depend, to a great extent, upon our ongoing performance in the areas of product development and customer support.

Intellectual Property

We protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We control access to our proprietary technology by entering into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees, contractors and consultants, and confidentiality agreements with third parties. We also rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright, trademark, trade dress and domain name reservations to protect our intellectual property. We have only recently begun to implement a strategy to seek patent protections for our technology and processes. We pursue the registration of our domain names and trademarks and service marks in the United States and in certain locations outside the United States. As of December 31, 2012, we had eight pending U.S. patent applications.

Circumstances outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in the United States or other countries in which our products and solutions are distributed. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly and time-consuming and the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete and harm our operating results.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, we had 527 regular full-time employees, including 31 in hosting, 50 in support, 54 in professional services, 181 in research and development, 154 in sales and marketing and 57 in general and administrative roles. None of our employees is represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Segments

We sell a single platform, have one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results or plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, we have determined that we operate in a single reporting segment, software sales and services. For a discussion of revenues, operating profit or loss and total assets, please see Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Seasonality

Our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new billings and renewals. This pattern may be amplified over time if the number of customers with renewal dates occurring in the fourth quarter continues to increase. Furthermore, our quarterly sales cycles are frequently weighted toward the end of the quarter, with an increased volume of sales in the last few weeks of each quarter. The year-over-year compounding effect of this seasonality in billing patterns and overall new business and renewal activity causes the value of invoices that we generate in the fourth quarter to continually increase in proportion to our billings in the other three quarters of our fiscal year.

Backlog

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Non-GAAP Key Metrics” for information regarding our backlog.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

Our future growth is, in large part, dependent upon the widespread adoption of social business software by enterprises and it is difficult to forecast the rate at which this will happen.

Social business software for enterprises remains at an early stage of technological and market development and the extent to which social business software will become widely adopted remains uncertain. It is difficult to predict customer adoption rates, customer demand for our platform, the future growth rate and size of this market or the entry of competitive solutions. Any expansion of the social business software market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value and benefits associated with social business software. If social business software does not achieve widespread adoption, or there is a reduction in demand for social business software caused by a lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, weakening economic conditions, competing technologies and products, decreases in corporate spending or otherwise, it could result in lower billings, reduced renewal rates and decreased revenues and our business could be adversely affected. Additionally, mergers or consolidations among our customers could reduce the number of our customers and could adversely affect our revenues and billings. In particular, if our customers are acquired by entities that are not our customers, are customers of our competitors, or that use fewer of our solutions, or that have more favorable contract terms and choose to discontinue, reduce or change the terms of their use of our platform, our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

In May 2012, we launched “Try Jive,” a free 30-day trial of our cloud-based offering targeted at making it easier for departments within a larger organization to try our platform. The goal of this cloud-based offering is to make it easy for customers to get started using our platform with the strategy of making it more likely to drive viral adoption within each customer. If this new offering is not successful, we may not achieve the revenue growth we anticipated, thereby potentially not recovering the investments we made in engineering, marketing and the expansion of our sales force, and our operating results could be adversely affected.

We cannot accurately predict new subscription, subscription renewal or upsell rates and the impact these rates may have on our future revenues and operating results.

In order for us to improve our operating results and continue to grow our business, it is important that we continually attract new customers and that existing customers renew their subscriptions with us when their existing contract term expires. Our existing customers have no contractual obligation to renew their subscriptions after the initial subscription period and we cannot accurately predict renewal rates. Our customers’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, their satisfaction with our platform and our customer support, the level of usage of our platform within their enterprise, the frequency and severity of outages, our product uptime or latency, the pricing of our, or competing, software or professional services, the effects of global economic conditions, and reductions in spending levels or changes in our customers’ strategies regarding social collaboration tools. If our customers renew their subscriptions, they may renew for fewer users or page views, for shorter contract lengths or on other terms that are less economically beneficial to us. If customers enter into shorter initial subscription periods, the risk of customers not renewing their subscriptions with us would increase and our billings may be adversely impacted. We have limited historical data with respect to rates of customer renewals, so we may not accurately predict future renewal trends. We cannot assure you that our customers will renew their subscriptions, and if our customers do not renew their agreements or renew on less favorable terms, our revenues may grow more slowly than expected or decline and our billings may be adversely impacted.

To the extent we are successful in increasing our customer base, we could incur increased losses because costs associated with generating customer agreements and performing services are generally incurred up front, while revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. This risk is particularly applicable for those customers who choose to deploy our platform in the public cloud. If new customers sign agreements with short initial subscription periods and do not renew their subscriptions, our operating results could be negatively impacted due to the upfront expenses associated with our sales and implementation efforts. Alternatively, to the extent we are unsuccessful in increasing our customer base, we could also incur increased losses as costs associated with marketing programs and new products intended to attract new customers would not be offset by future incremental revenues and cash flow.

In order for us to improve our operating results, it is important that our customers make additional significant purchases of our functionality and offerings, including additional communities, modules, users or page views or professional services. If our customers do not purchase additional functionality or offerings, our revenues may grow more slowly than expected. Additionally, increasing incremental sales to our current customer base requires increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts that are targeted at senior management. We also invest various resources targeted at expanding the utilization rates of our platform. There can be no assurance that our efforts would result in increased sales to existing customers, or upsells, and additional revenues. If our efforts to upsell to our customers are not successful, our business would suffer.

Additionally, our quarterly sales cycles are frequently more heavily weighted toward the end of the quarter with an increased volume of sales in the last few weeks of the quarter. If this trend continues or becomes more exaggerated, it could negatively impact the timing of recognized revenues, cash collections and delivery of professional services in subsequent periods. Furthermore, the concentration of contract negotiations in the last few weeks of the quarter could require us to hire additional sales, legal and finance employees.

Our transition from third-party hosted data centers for our public cloud customers to our own managed facilities is expensive and complex, and could result in inefficiencies or operational failure and increased risk.

Our transition from data centers managed by a third-party service provider to co-located facilities managed by our internal hosting operations team is complex, could result in operational inefficiencies or operational failures, and will require significant up front capital expenditures for equipment and infrastructure as well as increased personnel expense. In this regard, we anticipate making capital expenditures of approximately $10 million to $12 million in 2013 for purchases of hosting equipment as well as for additional hosting services. If it takes longer than we expect to complete this transition, there may be a negative impact on our operating results, particularly if the scope of the project grows and we deploy additional resources and hire additional personnel to complete the project. Additionally, to the extent that we are required to add data center capacity to accommodate customer demands for additional bandwidth or storage to enable their communities, we may need to significantly increase the bandwidth, storage, power or other elements of our hosting operations, and the costs associated with adjustments to our data center architecture could also negatively affect our margins and operating results.

There is an increased risk that service interruptions may occur as a result of our data center transition or other unforeseen issues. Even after we transition our data centers, we will remain subject to the continued risks associated with data center operations, including security and privacy compliance, the maintenance of appropriate data security certifications, risks of disruptions or delays in services and other factors. Our failure to effectively manage these risks could damage our reputation and result in a financial liability or a loss of customers, which would harm our business and operating results.

Because we generally recognize revenues from subscriptions for our platform ratably over the term of the agreement, near term changes in sales may not be reflected immediately in our operating results.

We generally recognize revenues from customers ratably over the term of their agreements, which range from 12 to 36 months. As a result, most of the revenues we report in each quarter are derived from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to subscription agreements entered into during previous quarters or years. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any one quarter is not likely to be reflected immediately in our revenues results for that quarter. Such declines, however, would negatively affect our revenues in future periods and the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our solutions, and potential changes in our rate of renewals, may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. Our subscription model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our total revenues through additional sales in any period, as revenues from new customers must be recognized over the applicable subscription term. In some instances, our customers choose to pre-pay the entire term of their multi-year subscriptions up front. As a result, billings can fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

The market for social business software is in its early stages of development and intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business would be harmed.

The market for social business software is relatively new, highly competitive and rapidly evolving with new competitors entering the market. We expect the competitive landscape to continue to intensify in the future as a result of regularly evolving customer needs and frequent introductions of new products and services. We currently compete with large well-established multi-solution enterprise software vendors, stand-alone enterprise software application providers, and smaller software application vendors. Our primary competition currently comes from large well-established enterprise software vendors such as Microsoft Corporation and IBM Corporation, both of which are significantly larger than we are, have greater name recognition, larger customer bases, much longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources, and are able to provide comprehensive business solutions that are broader in scope than the solutions we offer. These well-established vendors may have preexisting relationships with our existing and potential customers and to the extent our solutions are not viewed as being superior in features, function and integration or priced competitively to existing solutions, we might have difficulty displacing them. We also compete with stand-alone enterprise software applications that have begun adding social features to their existing offerings, including salesforce.com, inc. Some of these companies have large installed bases of active customers that may prefer to implement social business software solutions that are provided by an existing provider of customer management software, and these companies may be able to offer discounts and other pricing incentives that make their solutions more attractive. In addition, large social and professional networking providers with greater name recognition, financial resources and other resources may add social business applications to their existing applications, resulting in increased competition. For example, in June 2012, Microsoft Corporation acquired Yammer, Inc., an early stage private company that provides social networking capabilities to enterprise customers. To the extent that Microsoft is successful in combining these acquired social networking capabilities with their existing products, we could experience increased competition, which could adversely affect our billings, revenues and margins.

Several early stage private social business software companies have obtained significant financing, which could enable these competitors to offer products at lower prices or at no cost, execute deeper and broader marketing programs, expand their product offerings and functionality in a rapid manner and significantly increase the size of their sales force; all of which could adversely affect our billings, revenues and margins.

Some potential customers, particularly large enterprises, may elect to develop their own internal solutions. In addition, some of our competitors offer their solutions at a lower price or at no cost, which has resulted in pricing pressures and increased competition. If we are unable to price our solutions appropriately, our operating results could be negatively impacted. In addition, lower margins, pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales and billings, losses or the failure of our platform to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business. Our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their product offerings or resources. Certain current competitors have been, and current or potential competitors may be, acquired by third parties with greater available resources and as a result of such acquisitions, might be able to adapt more quickly to new technologies and customer needs, devote greater resources to the promotion or sale of their solutions, initiate or withstand substantial price competition, take advantage of other opportunities more readily or develop and expand their offerings more quickly than we do. If we are unable to compete effectively for a share of our market, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our quarterly results are likely to fluctuate due to a number of factors, and the value of our stock could decline substantially.

Our quarterly operating results are likely to fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. If our quarterly financial results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts who follow our stock, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Fluctuations in our quarterly financial results may be caused by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

   

the renewal rates for our platform;

 

   

upsell rates for our solutions and services;

 

   

changes in deferred revenue balances due to changes in the average duration of subscriptions, rate of renewals, timing of renewal billings and the rate of new business growth;

 

   

changes in the composition of current period billings;

 

   

changes in the mix of the average term length and payment terms;

 

   

order sizes in any given quarter;

 

   

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operations and expansion of our business;

 

   

changes in our pricing policies, whether initiated by us or as a response to competitive or other factors;

 

   

the cost and timing associated with, and management effort for, the introduction of new features to our platform;

 

   

the rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force;

 

   

the length of the sales cycle for our platform;

 

   

changes in our go-to-market strategy;

 

   

the success of our international expansion strategy;

 

   

new solution introductions by our competitors;

 

   

our success in selling our platform to large enterprises;

 

   

general economic conditions that may adversely affect either our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase additional subscriptions or a larger deployment, or hinder or delay a prospective customer’s purchasing decision, or reduce the value of new subscriptions, or affect renewal rates or the timing of renewals;

 

   

timing of additional investments in the development of our platform or deployment of our services;

 

   

disruptions in our hosting services or our inability to meet service level agreements and any resulting refunds to customers;

 

   

security breaches and potential financial penalties to customers and government entities;

 

   

purchases of new equipment and bandwidth in connection with planned data center expansion;

 

   

regulatory compliance costs;

 

   

the timing of customer payments and payment defaults by customers;

 

   

the impact on services margins as a result of the use of third-party contractors to fulfill demand;

 

   

the impact on services margins as a result of periods of less than full utilization of our full-time services employees;

 

   

costs associated with acquisitions of companies and technologies;

 

   

potential goodwill impairment charges related to prior acquisitions;

 

   

the impact of capitalized research and development costs on current and future periods;

 

   

extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments;

 

   

adjustments arising from ongoing or future state and local sales tax examinations;

 

   

the impact of new accounting pronouncements; and

 

   

the timing and size of stock awards to employees.

Additionally, our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new billings and renewals. This pattern may be amplified over time if the number of customers with renewal dates occurring in the fourth quarter continues to increase. Furthermore, our quarterly sales cycles are frequently weighted toward the end of the quarter, with an increased volume of sales in the last few weeks of each quarter, which may impact our revenues and billings significantly.

We may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts and investors, and the market price for our common stock could decline. If one or more of the securities analysts who cover us change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, the market price for our common stock could decline. Additionally, our stock price may be based on expectations, estimates or forecasts of our future performance that may be unrealistic or may not be achieved. Further, our stock price may be affected by financial media, including press reports and blogs.

Due to our evolving business model, the rapid pace of technological change, the unpredictability of the emerging market in which we participate, and potential fluctuations in future general economic and financial market conditions, we may not be able to accurately forecast our rate of growth. We plan our expense levels and investments on estimates of future revenues and future anticipated rate of growth. We may not be able to adjust our spending quickly enough if the addition of new customers, the upsell rate for existing customers, or the price for which we are able to sell our platform is below our expectations. As a result, we expect that our billings, revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate significantly and comparisons of our billings, revenues, operating results and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

We believe that our quarterly operating results, including the levels of our revenues and billings, may vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on the results of any one quarter as an indication of future performance.

Because our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our sales to customers outside the United States, our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations.

We sell our platform primarily through our direct sales organization, which is comprised of inside sales and field sales personnel located in a variety of geographic regions, including the U.S., South America and Europe. In addition to our existing presence in the U.S., South America and Europe, we are expanding our sales presence in the Asia Pacific region. Sales outside of the U.S. represented approximately 23%, 21% and 21% of our total revenues for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As we continue to expand sales of our social business platform to customers located outside the U.S., our business will be increasingly susceptible to risks associated with international operations. However, we have a limited operating history outside the U.S., and our ability to manage our business and conduct our operations internationally, particularly in new geographies, requires considerable management attention and resources and is subject to particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of diverse cultures, languages, customs, tax laws, legal systems, alternate dispute systems and regulatory systems. The risks and challenges associated with international expansion include:

 

   

continued localization of our platform, sales collateral and legal agreements, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;

 

   

laws and business practices favoring local competitors;

 

   

compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations, including employment, tax, privacy and data protection laws and regulations;

 

   

compliance with anti-bribery laws, including compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Anti-Bribery Act;

 

   

regional data privacy laws that apply to the processing of personal information, particularly those focused on the transmission of our customers’ data across international borders;

 

   

ability to provide local hosting, consulting and support services;

 

   

different pricing environments, including invoicing and collecting in foreign currencies and associated foreign currency exposure;

 

   

difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations and the increased travel, infrastructure, accounting, tax and legal compliance costs associated with international operations;

 

   

different or lesser protection of our intellectual property rights;

 

   

difficulties in enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable, longer payment cycles and other collection difficulties;

 

   

regional economic and political conditions; and

 

   

security concerns such as civil or military unrest and terrorist activities.

Additionally, a substantial majority of our international customers currently pay us in U.S. dollars and, as a result, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may make our platform more expensive for international customers, which could harm our business. In the future, an increasing number of our customers may pay us in foreign currencies. Any fluctuation in the exchange rate of these foreign currencies or pressure on the creditworthiness of sovereign nations, particularly in Europe, may negatively impact our business. If we are unable to successfully manage the challenges of international operations and expansion, our growth could be limited, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

We have a history of cumulative losses and we do not expect to be profitable for the foreseeable future.

We have incurred losses in each of the last five years, including a net loss of $47.4 million in 2012 and a net loss of $50.8 million in 2011. At December 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $152.2 million. As we continue to invest in infrastructure, development of our solutions and international expansion of our sales and marketing efforts, our operating expenses will continue to increase. Additionally, to accommodate future growth, we are in the process of transitioning our customer data centers from third-party service providers to co-located facilities managed by our internal hosting operations team. This transition has required and will continue to require significant up front capital expenditures and these costs and expenses may exceed the rate which realize any associated incremental billings or revenues. As a result, our losses in future periods may be significantly greater than the losses we would incur if we developed our business more slowly. In addition, we may find that these efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate or that they may not result in increases in our revenues or billings or provide the gross margin improvements we anticipated. Although we have experienced revenue growth in recent periods, you should not consider our recent revenue growth or growth rates as indicative of our future performance. We do not expect to be profitable on a GAAP basis in the foreseeable future and we cannot assure you that we will achieve profitability in the future or that, if we do become profitable, we will sustain profitability.

We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to predict our future operating results.

Although we were incorporated in 2001, our current platform, the Jive Social Business Platform, was not introduced until 2007 and, at that time, we began offering our platform on a subscription basis for internal and external communities. As a result of our limited operating history, our ability to forecast our future operating results is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth.

We have encountered and will encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as the risks and uncertainties described in this report. If our assumptions regarding these uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations and our business could suffer.

Our sales cycle can be long and unpredictable, particularly with respect to large enterprises, and we may have to delay revenue recognition for some of the more complex transactions, which could harm our business and operating results.

The timing of our sales is difficult to predict. Our sales efforts involve educating our customers, frequently at an executive level, about the use, potential return on investment, technical capabilities, security and other benefits of our platform. Customers often undertake a prolonged product-evaluation process which frequently involves not only our solutions but also those of our competitors. As we continue to target our sales efforts at large enterprise customers, we will face greater costs, long sales cycles and less predictability in completing some of our sales. In this market segment, the customer’s decision to subscribe to our platform may be an enterprise-wide decision and, if so, may require us to provide even greater levels of education regarding the use and benefits of our platform and obtain support from multiple departments within larger enterprises. In addition, prospective enterprise customers may require customized features and functions unique to their business process and may require acceptance testing related to those unique features. As a result of these factors, these sales opportunities may require us to devote greater sales support, and operational support and professional services resources to individual customers, increasing costs and time required to complete sales and diverting our own sales and professional services resources to a smaller number of larger transactions, while potentially requiring us to delay revenue recognition on some of these transactions until the acceptance requirements have been met.

We rely on a third-party service provider to host some of our solutions and any interruptions or delays in services from this third party could impair the delivery of our products and harm our business.

We currently outsource some of our hosting services to SunGard Availability Services LP, or SunGard. These services are provided by three of SunGard’s data centers worldwide. We do not control the operation of SunGard’s facilities and therefore must rely on SunGard to ensure that our technology and customer data is adequately protected. SunGard’s facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. They are also subject to employee negligence, break-ins, computer viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. The occurrence of any of these disasters, a decision by SunGard to close the facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our service which would materially impact our customers’ use of our offerings and may result in financial penalties.

Additionally, we are still in the process of transitioning our hosting services to internally managed hosting facilities in both the United States and Europe. Approximately 90% of our hosted customers in the United States and 55% of our European hosted customers are operating within our own data centers. These facilities are subject to similar risks as those existing in our SunGard facilities as well as other risks inherent in the fact that we are now managing the infrastructure that hosts our customer communities. These risks include our failure to properly plan for our infrastructure capacity requirements and our inability obtain and maintain the technologies and personnel necessary to cause the hosting services to operate efficiently and in accordance with our contractual commitments including those pertaining to uptime and security.

Furthermore, the availability of our platform could be interrupted by a number of additional factors outside of our hosting facilities, including our customers’ inability to access the Internet, the failure of our network or software systems due to human or other error, security breaches or ability of the infrastructure to handle spikes in customer usage. We may be required to issue credits or refunds or indemnify or otherwise be liable to customers or third parties for damages that may occur resulting from certain of these events. For example, in January 2011, we experienced a hosting outage which impacted some of our customers for up to 14 hours. As a result of this outage, we provided service credits to certain customers. If we experience similar outages in the future, we may experience customer dissatisfaction and potential loss of confidence, which could harm our reputation and impact future revenues from these customers.

A rapid expansion of our business could cause our network or systems to fail.

In the future, we may need to expand our hosting operations at a more rapid pace than we have in the past, spend substantial amounts to purchase or lease data centers and equipment, upgrade our technology and infrastructure to handle increased customer demand and introduce new solutions. For example, if we secure a large customer or a group of customers which require significant amounts of bandwidth, storage or computing power to enable their community, we may need to increase bandwidth, storage, server deployments, electrical power or other elements of our hosting operations and our existing systems may not be able to scale in a manner satisfactory to our existing or prospective customers. In addition, our sales expansion strategies in Asia and Latin America may require us to set up or partner with hosting providers in those regions, and we may have to spend substantial amounts to purchase or lease new data centers and equipment. Any such expansion could be expensive and complex and result in inefficiencies or operational failures and could reduce our margins.

If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, our solutions may be perceived as not being secure, customers may reduce the use of or stop using our solutions and we may incur significant liabilities.

Our hosting operations involve the storage and transmission of customer data. We use certain third-party vendors to assist in these operations, including back-up storage for customer data and onsite management of our hosting infrastructure. Security breaches or unauthorized access to customer data that we host could result in the misuse or loss of this information, litigation, indemnity obligations, regulatory fines and penalties and other liabilities.

Many of our customer and partner contracts provide that we assume full responsibility and will indemnify our customers for data privacy or security breaches or unauthorized access of customer data. If such a breach occurs, we could face contractual damages, damages and fees arising from our indemnification obligations, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, possible lawsuits by affected individuals and significant remediation costs and efforts to prevent future occurrences. In addition, whether there is an actual or a perceived breach of our security, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed significantly and we could lose current or potential customers.

While we and our vendors have security measures in place, these systems and networks are subject to ongoing threats and, therefore, these security measures may be breached as a result of third-party action, including cyber attacks or other intentional misconduct by computer hackers, employee error, failure to implement appropriate processes and procedures, malfeasance or otherwise. This could result in one or more third parties obtaining unauthorized access to our customers’ data or our data, including personally identifiable information, intellectual property and other confidential business information. Third parties may also attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other information in order to gain access to our customers’ data or our data, including intellectual property and other confidential business information.

Our hosting, support and professional services personnel sometimes must access customer communities to fulfill our contractual obligations to provide these services to our customers. This access may result in exposure to confidential customer data that is stored within our platform. If our personnel or our software systems were to permit unauthorized loss or access to this customer data by a third party, our reputation could be damaged and we could incur significant liability.

Additionally, while our platform is not intended for the transmission or storage of sensitive health, personal account or financial information and we contractually prohibit our customers from doing so, neither we nor our suppliers monitor or review the content that our customers upload and store within their communities. Therefore, we have no direct control over the substance or use of the content within our hosted communities. If customers use our platform for the transmission or storage of sensitive health, personal account or financial information and our security measures are breached our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability as many domestic and international laws place a higher burden of care on organizations that transmit and process this type of information.

Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative or mitigation measures. Any or all of these issues could negatively impact our ability to attract new customers and increase engagement by existing customers, cause existing customers to elect to not renew their subscriptions, subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other action or liability, thereby harming our reputation and our operating results.

In addition, through the Jive Apps Market and our add-on modules our customers may obtain third-party applications which access the data stored within their community. Because we do not control the transmissions between our customers and these third-party technology providers, or the processing of such data by third-party technology providers, we cannot ensure the complete integrity or security of such transmissions or processing. Any security breach could result in a loss of confidence in the security of our service, damage our reputation, disrupt our business, lead to legal and financial liability and negatively impact our future sales.

Because our platform could be used to collect and store personal information of our customers’ employees or customers, privacy concerns could result in additional cost and liability to us or inhibit sales of our platform.

Personal privacy has become a significant issue in the United States and in many other countries where we offer our solutions. The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is currently evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, disclosure, control and deletion of personal information. In the United States, these include, without limitation, rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 and state breach notification laws. Internationally, virtually every jurisdiction in which we operate has established its own data security and privacy legal framework with which we and our customers must comply. Many of these obligations are frequently updated and require ongoing supervision. These include the Data Protection Directive established in the European Union, the Federal Data Protection Act recently passed in Germany and the European Directive 2002/58/EC (commonly known as the “EU Cookie Law”) and the Personal Data Protection Ordinance recently promulgated in Hong Kong.

In addition to government regulation, privacy advocacy and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards that either legally or contractually apply to us. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws are still uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the technological features of our solutions. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our software, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any inability to adequately address privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and harm our business.

Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our customers may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our platform. Privacy concerns, whether valid or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our platform particularly in certain industries and foreign countries.

We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods. If we fail to manage such growth and our future growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service or adequately address competitive challenges.

We have experienced significant growth in recent periods. For example, we grew from 159 employees at December 31, 2009 to 527 at December 31, 2012. This growth has placed, and any future growth may place, a significant strain on our management and operational infrastructure, including our hosting operations and enterprise resource planning system. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage these changes effectively. We will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures, which may include the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system in the future. Failure to effectively manage growth could result in declines in quality or customer satisfaction, increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new features or other operational difficulties. Any failure to effectively manage growth could adversely impact our business and reputation.

Changes in laws and/or regulations related to the Internet or related to privacy and data security concerns or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may cause our business to suffer.

The future success of our business depends upon the continued use of the Internet as a primary medium for commerce, communication and business applications. Federal, state or foreign government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting data privacy and the transmission of certain types of content using the Internet. For example, the State of California has adopted legislation requiring operators of commercial websites and mobile applications that collect personal information from California residents to conspicuously post and comply with privacy policies that satisfy certain requirements. Several other U.S. states have adopted legislation requiring companies to protect the security of personal information that they collect from consumers over the Internet, and more states may adopt similar legislation in the future. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission has used its authority under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act to bring actions against companies for failing to maintain adequate security for personal information collected from consumers over the Internet and for failing to comply with privacy-related representations made to Internet users. The U.S. Congress has at various times proposed federal legislation intended to protect the privacy of Internet users and the security of personal information collected from Internet users that would impose additional compliance burdens upon companies collecting personal information from Internet users, and the U.S. Congress may adopt such legislation in the future. The European Union also has adopted various directives regulating data privacy and security and the transmission of content using the Internet involving residents of the European Union, including those directives known as the Data Protection Directive, the E-Privacy Directive, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive, and may adopt similar directives in the future. Several other countries, including Canada and several Latin American and Asian countries, have constitutional protections for, or have adopted legislation protecting, individuals’ personal information. Additionally, some federal, state, or foreign governmental bodies have established laws which seek to censor the transmission of certain types of content over the Internet or require that individuals be provided with the ability to permanently delete all electronic personal information, such as the German Multimedia Law of 1997.

Given the variety of global privacy and data protection regimes, it is possible we may find ourselves subject to inconsistent obligations. For instance, the USA Patriot Act is considered by some to be in conflict with certain directives of the European Union. Situations such as these require that we make prospective determinations regarding compliance with conflicting regulations. Increased enforcement of existing laws and regulations, as well as any laws, regulations or changes that may be adopted or implemented in the future, could limit the growth of the use of public cloud applications or communications generally, result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of Internet-based applications such as our public cloud solutions, require implementation of additional technological safeguards and reduce the demand for our social business software platform. Additionally, due to the complexity and diversity of these laws, our customers often include contractual obligations which can impose significant risk of termination and financial penalties if we fail to comply.

If we are not able to develop and introduce enhancements and new features that achieve market acceptance or that keep pace with technological developments, our business could be harmed.

We operate in a dynamic environment characterized by rapidly changing technologies and industry and legal standards. The introduction of new social business software solutions by our competitors, the market acceptance of solutions based on new or alternative technologies, or the emergence of new industry standards could render our platform obsolete. Our ability to compete successfully, attract new customers and increase revenues from existing customers depends in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing social business software platform and to continually introduce or acquire new features that are in demand by the market we serve. The success of any enhancement or new solution depends on several factors, including timely completion and integration, adequate quality testing, introduction and market acceptance. Any new platform or feature that we develop or acquire may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain defects or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenues. If we are unable to anticipate or timely and successfully develop or acquire new offerings or features or enhance our existing platform to meet customer requirements, our business and operating results will be adversely affected. Additionally, for technologies that are acquired, we may not be able to successfully integrate or monetize the acquired technology at a rate that is consistent with the market’s expectations.

In the second quarter of 2011, we launched our Jive Apps Market. The success of the Jive Apps Market depends, in part, on the willingness of third-party developers to build applications that are complementary to our platform. The Jive Apps Market, as well as other future initiatives, may present new and difficult technology challenges and end-users may choose not to adopt our new solutions, which would harm our operating results. Additionally, the Jive Apps Market includes applications that are built by third-party application developers. This may subject us to additional risks, including the risk that such applications, in particular those developed by smaller, independent developers, cause harm to our reputation and subject us to liability due to, for example, quality issues, the lack of sufficient security within the application, infringement of third-party intellectual property and the introduction of viruses, any of which could harm our business.

Additionally, in May 2012 we launched “Try Jive,” a free 30-day trial of our cloud-based offering targeted at making it easier for departments within a larger organization to try our platform. The goal of this cloud-based offering is to make it easy for customers to get started using our platform with the strategy of making it more likely to drive viral adoption within each customer. If this new offering is not successful we may not achieve the revenue growth we anticipated, thereby potentially not recovering the investments we made in engineering, marketing and the expansion of our sales force, and our operating results could be adversely affected.

Our platform must integrate with a variety of operating systems, software applications and hardware that are developed by others and, if we are unable to devote the necessary resources to ensure that our solutions interoperate with such software and hardware, we may fail to increase, or we may lose, market share and we may experience a weakening demand for our platform.

Our social business software platform must integrate with a variety of network, hardware and software platforms, including Microsoft Office, and we will need to continuously modify and enhance our platform to adapt to changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser and database technologies. Any failure of our solutions to operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our platform, result in customer dissatisfaction and harm our business. If we are unable to respond in a timely manner to these changes in a cost-effective manner, our solutions may become less marketable and less competitive or obsolete and our operating results may be negatively impacted. In addition, an increasing number of individuals within the enterprise are utilizing devices other than personal computers, such as mobile phones and other handheld devices, to access the Internet and corporate resources and conduct business. If we cannot effectively make our platform available on these mobile devices, we may experience difficulty attracting and retaining customers.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a single software platform.

We derive a substantial portion of our total revenues from sales of a single software platform, the Jive Social Business Platform, and related modules. As such, any factor adversely affecting sales of this platform, including product release cycles, market acceptance, product competition, performance and reliability, reputation, price competition, and economic and market conditions, could harm our business and operating results.

Our business could be adversely affected if our customers are not satisfied with our implementation, customization or other professional services we provide.

Our business depends on our ability to satisfy our customers and meet our customers’ business needs. If a customer is not satisfied with the type of solutions and professional services we or our partners deliver, we could incur additional costs to remedy the situation, the profitability of that work might be impaired, and the customer’s dissatisfaction with our services could damage our ability to obtain additional services from that customer or our ability to renew that customer’s subscription in subsequent periods. If we are not able to accurately estimate the cost of services requested by the customer, it might result in providing services on a discounted basis or free of charge until customer satisfaction is achieved. In addition, negative publicity related to our customer relationships, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new business with current and prospective customers. Further, we have customer payment obligations not yet due that are attributable to software we have already delivered. These customer obligations are typically not cancelable, but will not yield the expected revenues and cash flow if the customer defaults and fails to pay amounts owed, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and operating results.

Additionally, large enterprises may request or require customized features and functions unique to their particular business processes. If prospective large customers require customized features or functions that we do not offer, then the market for our platform will be more limited and our business could suffer. In addition, supporting large enterprise customers could require us to devote significant development services and support personnel and strain our personnel resources and infrastructure. If we are unable to address the needs of these customers in a timely fashion or further develop and enhance our platform, these customers may not renew their subscriptions, seek to terminate their relationship, renew on less favorable terms or fail to purchase additional features. If any of these were to occur, our revenues and billings may decline and we may not realize significantly improved operating results.

We might experience significant errors or security flaws in our platform.

Despite testing prior to their release, software products frequently contain undetected errors, defects or security vulnerabilities, especially when initially introduced or when new versions are released. Errors in our platform could affect the ability of our platform to work with other hardware or software products, impact functionality and delay the development or release of new solutions or new versions of solutions and adversely affect market acceptance of our platform. The detection and correction of any bugs or security flaws can be time consuming and costly. Some errors in our platform and related solutions may only be discovered after installation and use by customers. Any errors, defects or security vulnerabilities discovered after commercial release or contained in custom implementations could result in loss of revenues or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customers or increased service and warranty cost, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our platform has contained and may contain undetected errors, defects or security vulnerabilities that could result in data unavailability, data security breaches, data loss or corruption or other harm to our customers. Undiscovered vulnerabilities in our platform could expose them to hackers or other unscrupulous third parties who develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that could attack our solutions, result in unauthorized access to customer data, or fraudulently induce individuals to provide their log-in credentials. Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our platform could result in contractual or regulatory liability, harm our reputation and lead some customers to cancel subscriptions, reduce or delay future purchases or use competitive solutions.

Failure to adequately expand and retain our direct sales force will impede our growth.

We will need to continue to expand and optimize our sales and marketing infrastructure in order to grow our customer base and our business. We plan to continue to expand our direct sales force, both domestically and internationally. Identifying and recruiting qualified personnel and training them in the use of our platform require significant time, expense and attention. It can take 9 to 12 months or longer before our sales representatives are fully trained and productive. Our business may be harmed if our efforts to expand and train our direct sales force do not generate a corresponding significant increase in billings and revenues. In particular, if we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented sales personnel or if new direct sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, we may not be able to realize the expected benefits of this investment or increase our billings and revenues or grow our business.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties.

Our future growth will depend on our ability to enter into successful strategic relationships with third parties. For example, we are investing resources in building our indirect sales channel by establishing relationships with third parties to facilitate incremental sales and to implement and customize our platform. In addition, we are also establishing relationships with other third parties to develop integrations with compatible technology and content. These relationships may not result in additional customers or enable us to generate significant billings or revenues. Identifying partners as well as negotiating and documenting relationships with them requires significant time and resources. Our agreements for these relationships are typically non-exclusive and do not prohibit the other party from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenues and billings could be impaired and our operating results would suffer. In particular, leveraging third-party reseller and referral partner relationships is important to our strategy to expand our presence in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions. If these relationships are not successful it could impede our growth in revenues and billings.

Our use of open source technology could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our platform.

Our products contain software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under “open source” licenses. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. Some open source licenses contain provisions that require attribution or that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open source software used. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public at no cost. This would allow our competitors to create similar products with lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in an adverse impact upon our intellectual property rights and ability to commercialize our products.

Although we monitor our use of open source software to avoid subjecting our products to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by United States courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our processes for controlling our use of open source software in our products will be effective. If we are held to have breached the terms of an open source software license, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties to continue offering our products on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer our products, to discontinue the sale of our products if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis, or to make generally available, in source code form, our proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We, or our customers, may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.

The software industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property and proprietary rights. Recently, a number of large software, technology and social networking companies have become active in initiating litigation against competitors and other third parties. Companies in this industry are often required to defend against litigation claims that are based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against their use. As a result, our success depends upon our not infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may own or claim to own intellectual property relating to our industry. From time to time, third parties have claimed and may claim that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon such rights. In the future, we, or our customers, may be the subject of claims that our platform and underlying technology infringe or violate the intellectual property rights of others. As a result of disclosure of information in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering our solutions, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. Even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and harm our business and operating results. As most of our customer and partner agreements obligate us to provide indemnification in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses, modify our platform, or refund fees, we have in the past been, and may in the future be, requested to indemnify our customers and business partners which could expose us to significant legal and financial liability. We expect that the occurrence of infringement claims is likely to grow as the market for social business software grows. Accordingly, our exposure to damages resulting from infringement claims could be increased and this could further exhaust our financial and management resources.

For example, on October 3, 2012, Bascom Research, LLC filed a complaint for patent infringement of U.S. Patent Numbers 7,111,232; 7,139,974; and 7,158,971 against us, among others, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and an injunction against certain features of our products. The suit has been moved to the Northern District of California and is still pending.

The outcome of any litigation, regardless of its merits, is inherently uncertain. Any intellectual property claim or lawsuit could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, divert management attention from executing our business plan and require us to change our technology, change our business practices and/or pay monetary damages or enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements. In addition, in certain circumstances, such as those in which the opposing parties are large and well-funded companies, we may face a more expensive and protracted path to resolution of such claims or lawsuits.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our intellectual property. We primarily rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions with our employees, customers, partners and others to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate or we may be unable to secure intellectual property protection for all of our solutions. In particular, we have only recently begun to implement a strategy to seek patent protection for our technology.

Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive to ours or infringe our intellectual property. The enforcement of our intellectual property rights also depends on our legal actions against these infringers being successful, but we cannot be sure these actions will be successful, even when our rights have been infringed. If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights adequately, our competitors might gain access to our technology, and our business and operating results might be harmed. In addition, defending our intellectual property rights might entail significant expense and the diversion of management resources. Any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. Any patents issued in the future may not provide us with competitive advantages, or may be successfully challenged by third parties.

Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Effective protection of our intellectual property may not be available to us in every country in which our solutions are available. The laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property.

Additionally, in the United States, the central provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) become effective on March 16, 2013. Among other things, this law will switch U.S. patent rights from the present “first-to-invent” system to a “first inventor-to-file” system. This may result in inventors and companies having to file patent applications more frequently to preserve rights in their inventions. This may favor larger competitors that have the resources to file more patent applications.

Table of Contents

We might be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights, and our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Litigation to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management, whether or not it is resolved in our favor, and could ultimately result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property.

We may continue to acquire or invest in other companies or technologies in the future, which could divert management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders, increase expenses, disrupt our operations and harm our operating results.

Throughout fiscal 2011 and 2012, we completed four acquisitions and may in the future acquire or invest in other businesses, products or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our platform, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. We cannot assure you that we will realize the anticipated benefits of these or any future acquisition. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses related to identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated.

There are inherent risks in integrating and managing acquisitions. If we acquire additional businesses, we may not be able to assimilate or integrate the acquired personnel, operations and technologies successfully or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition. We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors, including:

 

   

unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;

 

   

incurrence of acquisition-related costs, which would be recognized as a current period expense;

 

   

the inability to generate sufficient revenues to offset acquisition or investment costs;

 

   

the inability to maintain relationships with customers and partners of the acquired business;

 

   

the difficulty of incorporating acquired technology and rights into our platform and of maintaining quality standards consistent with our brand;

 

   

difficulty in incorporating new people;

 

   

delays in customer purchases due to uncertainty related to any acquisition;

 

   

the need to implement additional controls, procedures and policies;

 

   

challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences;

 

   

harm to our existing business relationships with business partners and customers as a result of the acquisition;

 

   

the potential loss of key employees;

 

   

use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business;

 

   

the inability to recognize acquired revenues in accordance with our revenue recognition policies, and the loss of acquired deferred revenue; and

 

   

use of substantial portions of our available cash or the incurrence of debt to consummate the acquisition.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. Also, contingent considerations related to acquisitions will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting period, with any changes in the value recorded as income or expense. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on the impairment assessment process, which could harm our results of operations.

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial condition may suffer.

Weakened global economic conditions may adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations in ways that may be hard to predict or defend against.

Our overall performance depends in part on domestic and worldwide economic conditions, which may remain challenging for the foreseeable future. Financial developments seemingly unrelated to us or to our industry may adversely affect us over the course of time. The U.S. and other key international economies, particularly Europe, have been impacted by threatened sovereign defaults and ratings downgrades, falling demand for a variety of goods and services, restricted credit, going concern threats to major multinational companies, poor liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets, bankruptcies and overall uncertainty. These conditions and their continued deterioration, particularly in Europe, affect the rate of information technology spending and have adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our customers’ ability or willingness to purchase our social business software platform, and could delay prospective customers’ purchasing decisions, reduce the value or duration of their subscriptions, or affect renewal rates, all of which could adversely affect our operating results. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of the economic recovery or any subsequent economic slowdown, worldwide, in the United States, or in our industry.

Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Palo Alto, California, a high portion of our technology and services personnel are located in our Portland, Oregon office, and we are in the process of transitioning our United States data centers to a co-located facility located along the west coast of the United States. The West Coast, and California in particular, are active earthquake zones. Additionally, we rely on our network and third-party infrastructure and enterprise applications, internal technology systems and our website for our development, marketing, operational, support, hosted services and sales activities. In the event of a major earthquake or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber attack, war or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our corporate operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, loss of intellectual property, contractual and financial liabilities, delays in our product development, lengthy interruptions in our services, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our future operating results.

Although we back up customer data stored on our systems at least daily to a geographically distinct location, the data is not mirrored in real-time to this site. Thus, in the event of a physical disaster, or certain other failures of our computing infrastructure, customer data from very recent transactions may be permanently lost. Further, our full production infrastructure is not mirrored to a geographically distinct location and thus in the event of a disaster, production capacity may be impacted for an extended amount of time while the infrastructure is procured and rebuilt and data is restored.

We might require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new solutions or enhance our existing solutions, enhance our operating infrastructure and acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected.

The forecasts of market growth included in this document may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, we cannot assure you our business will grow at similar rates, if at all.

Growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates which may not prove to be accurate. Forecasts relating to the expected growth in the social business software market and other markets may prove to be inaccurate. Even if these markets experience the forecasted growth, we may not grow our business at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties.

There are limitations on the effectiveness of controls and the failure of our control systems may materially and adversely impact us.

We do not expect that disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Failure of our control systems to prevent error or fraud could materially and adversely impact us.

The intended operational and tax benefits of our corporate structure and intercompany arrangements depend on the application of the tax laws of various jurisdictions and how we operate our business, and may be challenged by tax authorities.

Our corporate structure and intercompany agreements with our foreign subsidiaries are intended to optimize our operating structure and our worldwide effective tax rate, including the manner in which we develop and use our intellectual property, manage our cash flow, and the pricing of our intercompany transactions. Our foreign subsidiaries operate under cost plus transfer pricing agreements with us. These agreements provide for sales, support and development activities for our benefit. The taxing authorities of the jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our methodologies for valuing technology or our transfer pricing arrangements, or determine that the manner in which we operate our business does not achieve the intended tax objectives, which could increase our international tax exposure and harm our operating results. For example, we are currently under a federal tax examination for the tax years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010. We do not anticipate the examinations will have a significant financial impact. At December 31, 2012, we were not under exam in any other jurisdictions.

We depend on our senior management team, and the loss of one or more key employees or groups could harm our business and prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.

Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers, which includes key leadership in the areas of research and development, marketing, sales, services and the general and administrative functions. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. We are also substantially dependent on the continued service of our existing development personnel because of the complexity of our platform and other solutions.

Our personnel do not have employment arrangements that require these personnel to continue to work for us for any specified period and, therefore, they could terminate their employment with us at any time. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of one or more of our key employees or groups could seriously harm our business.

Additionally, in August 2012, we added the position of President of Worldwide Field Operations, which is be responsible for all customer-facing functions, including sales, professional services and support. The consolidation, transition and onboarding process may be disruptive to our internal processes, our sales cycles, expansion into markets outside the United States and implementation of new professional services strategies.

Because competition for our target employees is intense, we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees we need to support our operations and growing customer base.

Our future success will depend on our continued ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain talent. In the software industry and in the San Francisco Bay Area especially, there is substantial and continuous competition for software engineers with high levels of experience in designing, developing and managing software, as well as competition for sales executives and operations personnel. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel. We have, from time to time, experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the stock awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our stock declines, it may adversely affect our ability to retain highly skilled employees. In addition, since we expense all stock-based compensation, we may periodically change our stock compensation practices, which may include reducing the number of employees eligible for options or reducing the size of equity awards granted per employee. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed.

If we cannot maintain our corporate culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion and focus on execution that we believe contribute to our success, and our business may be harmed.

We believe that a critical component to our success has been our corporate culture. We have invested substantial time and resources in building our team. As we continue to grow and develop the infrastructure associated with being a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our corporate culture. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market on which our common stock trades and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business and operating results. Although we have already hired additional employees to comply with these requirements, we may need to hire more employees in the future, which will increase our costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

We also expect that the combination of being a public company and the existence of these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers as well as qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These exemptions include but are not limited to not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, “emerging growth companies” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”

We will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of (i) the first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in the Exchange Act, at which point the burdens of being a public company will be increased.

We are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal controls over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

When we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” we will be required, pursuant to the Exchange Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31 of the earlier of the year we cease to be an “emerging growth company” or 2016. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting, as well as a statement that our auditors have issued an attestation report on our management’s assessment of our internal controls.

The effort required to compile the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to provide these reports is a costly and challenging process. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our auditors are unable to attest to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Risk Related to Ownership of our Common Stock

The market price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could subject us to litigation.

The trading prices of the securities of technology companies have been highly volatile. Accordingly, the market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations. Factors affecting the market price of our common stock include:

 

   

variations in our billings, renewal rates, operating results, cash flow, loss per share and how these results compare to analyst expectations;

 

   

the net increase in the number of customers acquired, either independently or as compared with published expectations of analysts that cover us;

 

   

forward looking guidance on revenues, cash flows and loss per share;

 

   

announcements of technological innovations, new products or services, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;

 

   

disruptions in our public cloud service;

 

   

the economy as a whole, market conditions in our industry, and the industries of our customers; and

 

   

any other factors discussed herein.

In addition, if the market for technology stocks, especially social media related stocks, or the stock market in general experiences uneven investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, operating results or financial condition. The market price for our stock might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies within, or outside, our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Some companies that have experienced volatility in the trading price of their stock have been subject of securities litigation. If we are the subject of such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage takeover attempts and lead to management entrenchment.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to elect directors that are not nominated by the current members of our board of directors or take other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. These provisions include:

 

   

a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors;

 

   

the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror;

 

   

the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

 

   

a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

 

   

the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of directors, our president, our secretary, or a majority vote of our board of directors, which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

 

   

the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to the issuance of preferred stock and management of our business or our amended and restated bylaws, which may inhibit the ability of an acquiror to affect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;

 

   

the ability of our board of directors, by majority vote, to amend the bylaws, which may allow our board of directors to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquiror to amend the bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

 

   

advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us for a certain period of time.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We lease office facilities in California, Oregon, Colorado and Israel. The facility lease for our headquarters in Palo Alto, California, where we lease approximately 18,500 square feet, expires in September 2018, the lease for the office space in Oregon, where we lease approximately 37,700 square feet, expires September 2018, our Colorado lease expires March 2016 and our Israel lease expires September 2017. We also have leases for data center facilities in Arizona and the Netherlands, which expire in December 2016 and October 2015, respectively. Additionally, we currently occupy a number of sales and service offices in New York, Pennsylvania, Germany and the United Kingdom. We believe that our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current needs, and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate expansion of our operations. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Payment Obligations” for information regarding our lease obligations.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On October 3, 2012, Bascom Research, LLC filed a complaint for patent infringement of U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,111,232; 7,139,974; and 7,158,971 against us, among others, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, captioned Bascom Research, LLC v. Jive Software, Inc., Civil Case No. 1:12CV1114. The complaint seeks damages and an injunction against certain features of our products. The suit has been moved to the Northern District of California and is still pending. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims and are unable to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result if the outcome in this matter is unfavorable.

Many of our subscription agreements require us to indemnify our customers for third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the cost to us of an adverse ruling on such a claim. Any adverse determination related to intellectual property claims or litigation could prevent us from offering our service to others, could be material to our net income or cash flows or both or could otherwise adversely affect our operating results.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Stock Price and Dividends

Our common stock, $0.0001 par value, began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on December 13, 2011, where its prices are quoted under the symbol “JIVE.” As of February 22, 2013 there were 115 holders of record of our common stock. Because many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders.

The following table sets forth the reported high and low closing sales prices of our common stock for the fourth quarter of 2011 from the date of our initial public offering, December 13, 2011, through December 31, 2012 as regularly quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market:

We have never declared or paid, and do not anticipate declaring or paying in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends on our capital stock. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our revolving loan and term loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank restricts our ability to pay dividends by requiring the written consent of Silicon Valley Bank to pay cash dividends to our stockholders.

Use of Proceeds

We filed a registration statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-176483 for an initial public offering of common stock, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2011. In that offering, we sold an aggregate of 12.1 million shares of our common stock with net offering proceeds of $131.4 million. No payments were made to our directors or officers or their associates, holders of 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any affiliates.

As of December 31, 2012, we had used approximately $21.7 million of those proceeds for the repayment of indebtedness, $10.6 million for purchase of property and equipment, primarily to build out our co-located data center, and $7.6 million in aggregate for the acquisitions of Producteev LLC and Meetings.io. We currently intend to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes as described in the prospectus for the offering.

Securities Authorized for Issuance

See Item 12, “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters” for information regarding securities authorized for issuance.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On November 5, 2012, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of 460,000 shares of our common stock to stockholders of Meetings.io along with an aggregate payment $0.6 million in cash to stockholders of Meetings.io, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Meetings.io.

Table of Contents

The shares of our common stock issued in exchange for Meetings.io were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and are restricted securities. We relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the issuance.

The persons who acquired these securities were sophisticated investors and were provided full information regarding our business and operations. There was no general solicitation in connection with the offer or sale of these securities. The persons who acquired these securities acquired them for their own accounts. Any certificates representing the shares of common stock will bear a restricted legend providing that they cannot be sold unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration. No commissions were paid in connection with the issuance.

For further discussion regarding the acquisition of Meetings.io refer to Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this Form 10-K.

Overview

We provide a social business platform that improves business results by enabling a more productive and effective workforce through enhanced communications and collaboration both inside and outside the enterprise. Organizations deploy our platform to improve employee productivity, enhance revenue opportunities, lower operational costs, increase customer retention and improve strategic decision making. Our platform is offered on a subscription basis, deployable in a private or public cloud and used for internal or external communities. We generate revenues from platform license fees as well as from professional service fees for configuration, implementation and training.

We sell our comprehensive Jive Social Business Platform across two principal communities: internally for employees within the enterprise and externally for customers and partners outside the enterprise. Internally focused communities comprised 65.8% of our Jive Social Business Platform revenues in 2012. As the market for social business software within the enterprise continues to grow, we expect revenues from internally focused communities to continue to be higher than revenues generated from externally focused communities.

We offer our platform both as a public cloud service and as a private cloud solution. In March 2012, we released Jive Cloud, one of our public cloud services that is on a quarterly release cycle and is a non-customizable version of our platform. Additionally, in May 2012, we released Try Jive, a 30-day free trial version of the Jive Cloud offering. Try Jive is a sales enablement tool, targeted at departments within larger organizations with the intent of driving viral adoption organically within the enterprise. In 2012, product revenues from all public cloud deployments, including Jive Cloud, represented 62.8% of total product revenues. With the release of Jive Cloud and Try Jive, we anticipate that, over the long-term, public cloud deployments of our platform will comprise an increasing portion of our business.

Historically, we have generated the largest portion of our revenues from sales to customers within the United States. Revenues from customers in the United States accounted for 77.4% of total revenues in 2012. We are continuing to focus on expanding our sales headcount and channel partners internationally, and we anticipate the percentage of our revenues generated outside of the United States will increase in the future.

In response to our growing customer base outside of the United States, as well as the increase in public cloud deployments, we opened an internally managed data center in the Netherlands in 2012. Additionally, we plan to continue our investment in our hosting infrastructure by opening another internally managed data center in Asia in 2013 as we continue to focus on international expansion in the region.

During 2012, we acquired two businesses to enhance and strengthen our platform. On November 21, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Producteev LLC, or Producteev, a cloud-based project and task management company. The total purchase consideration of $7 million was comprised entirely of cash. On November 5, 2012, we also acquired all of the outstanding shares of Meetings.io, a cloud-based real-time video, chat and screen sharing collaboration company. The total purchase consideration of $3.0 million was comprised of $0.6 million in cash and 211,936 shares of our common stock with a fair value on November 5, 2012 of $2.4 million. We also issued 248,064 shares of common stock subject to repurchase to certain Meetings.io employees which vest over a three-year period contingent upon the continued employment of the recipients. The fair value of these shares on the grant date was $2.8 million, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation over the three-year vesting period.

Also in the fourth quarter of 2012, we entered into a partnership with the consultancy, PwC US, which will pair our social business platform with PwC’s consulting services in order to help our customers implement and realize the benefits of our platform. We expect to continue to invest in partnership programs and other indirect sales channels in order to continue to grow our customer base.

Seasonality

Our fourth quarter has historically been our strongest quarter for new billings and renewals. This pattern may be amplified over time if the number of customers with renewal dates occurring in the fourth quarter continues to increase. Furthermore, our quarterly sales cycles are frequently weighted toward the end of the quarter, with an increased volume of sales in the last few weeks of each quarter. The year-over-year compounding effect of this seasonality in billing patterns and overall new business and renewal activity has historically resulted in the value of invoices that we generate in the fourth quarter increasing in proportion to our billings in the other three quarters of our fiscal year. We expect this trend to continue in 2013 and in future years.

Non-GAAP Key Metrics

In addition to GAAP metrics such as total revenues and gross margin, we also regularly review billings, a non-GAAP measure, and the number of Jive Social Business Platform customers to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, allocate capital and make strategic decisions.

Billings

The following tables set forth a reconciliation of total revenues to billings (dollars in thousands):

We monitor billings, a non-GAAP measure, in addition to other financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP to manage our business, make planning decisions, evaluate our performance and allocate resources. We believe that this non-GAAP measure offers valuable supplemental information regarding the performance of our business, and it will help investors better understand the sales volumes and performance of our business.

Table of Contents

Our use of billings has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for total revenues or an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

   

billings is not a substitute for total revenues, as billings are recognized when invoiced, while revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term;

 

   

billings can include fees paid for license terms greater than 12 months and for subscription renewals prior to the expiration of the current subscription term and, therefore, does not always closely match with the timing of delivery of support, maintenance, and hosting services and the costs associated with delivering those services;

 

   

changes to the composition of current period billings may impact the correlation of current period billings to future period revenues;

 

   

billings would not exclude any agreements that contain customer acceptance provisions or other contractual contingencies that would require deferral of revenue required under GAAP; and

 

   

other companies, including companies in our industry, may not use billings, may calculate non-GAAP measures differently or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP measures as comparative measures.

We consider billings a significant performance measure and a leading indicator of future recognized revenue based on our business model of billing for subscription licenses annually and recognizing revenue ratably over the subscription term. The billings we record in any particular period reflect sales to new customers plus subscription renewals and upsell to existing customers, and represent amounts invoiced for product subscription license fees and professional services. We typically invoice our customers for subscription fees in annual increments upon initiation of the initial contract or subsequent renewal. In addition, we also enter into arrangements with customers to purchase subscriptions for a term greater than 12 months, most typically 36 months. For subscriptions greater than 12 months, the customer has the option of being invoiced annually or paying for the full term of the subscription at the time the contract is signed. If the customer elects to pay the full multi-year amount at the time the contract is signed, the total amount billed for the entire term will be reflected in billings. If the customer elects to be invoiced annually, only the amount billed for the 12-month period will be included in billings. The portion of subscription terms under contract and not yet invoiced is considered backlog and is not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had backlog of approximately $31.3 million and $26.7 million, respectively. Of the $31.3 million in backlog as of December 31, 2012, approximately 24% is expected to be billed and recognized as revenue within 2013.

Billings for consulting services typically occur on a bi-weekly basis as the services are delivered.

The increases in billings in the periods presented were primarily driven by increased upsell of our products to existing customers and the addition of new customers.

Jive Social Business Platform Customers

We define the number of platform customers at the end of any given measurement period by counting every customer under active contract for the Jive Social Business Platform that carries a balance in our deferred revenue account at the end of that period. While a single customer may have multiple internal and external communities to support distinct departments, operating segments or geographies, we only include that customer once for purposes of this metric. The Jive Social Business Platform includes Jive Cloud. We believe the number of Jive Social Business Platform customers is a leading indicator of our future revenues, billings and upsell opportunities.

Our product revenue growth was 53.3% and 72.5%, respectively in 2012 compared to 2011 and in 2011 compared to 2010. Our product revenues have grown at a faster rate than our customer count as we have realized greater upsell with our existing customers.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

We generate revenues primarily in the form of software subscription fees and professional services for strategic consulting, configuration, implementation and other services related to our software. We offer our products with subscription terms typically ranging from 12 to 36 months. In addition to sales of our platform, our revenues include fees for sales of modules, additional users and page views. While subscription-based licenses make up the substantial majority of our product revenues, in limited instances we license our software to customers on a perpetual basis, with ongoing support and maintenance services. Revenues generated through the sale of subscription licenses also include fees for updates and maintenance. We recognize revenue from professional services ratably over the subscription term when they are bundled with a subscription license, because we do not have fair value of all the various services. These amounts, when recognized, are classified as professional services revenues on our consolidated statements of operations based on the hourly rates at which they are billed.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of product revenues includes all direct costs to produce and distribute our product offerings, including data center and support personnel, depreciation and maintenance related to equipment located at our hosting service providers and in our Jive managed data centers, salaries, rent for our data centers, web hosting services expense for public cloud and Jive Cloud implementations, third-party royalty costs, benefits, amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation.

Cost of professional services revenues includes all direct costs to provide our professional services, which primarily include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for our professional services personnel, as wells as consulting and outside services. We recognize expenses related to our professional services organization as they are incurred, while the majority of associated professional services revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription term.

Cost of revenues also includes allocated overhead costs for facilities and information technology. Allocated costs for facilities consist of rent and depreciation of equipment and leasehold improvements related to our facilities. Our allocated costs for information technology include costs for compensation of our information technology personnel and the cost associated with our information technology infrastructure. Our overhead costs are allocated to all departments based on headcount.

We expect that cost of revenues may increase in the future depending on the growth rate of our new customers and billings and our need to support the implementation, hosting and support of those new customers. We also expect that cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues could fluctuate from period to period depending on growth of our services business and any associated costs relating to the delivery of services, the timing of sales of products that have royalties associated with them, the amount and timing of amortization of intangibles from acquisitions and the timing of significant expenditures.

Table of Contents

Research and Development

To date, research and development expenses have been expensed as incurred. To the extent that we develop software classified as internal-use in the future, we may be required to capitalize the related development expenses. These expenses include salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for our engineers and developers, allocated facilities costs and payments to third parties for research and development of new software. We focus our research and development efforts on developing new versions of our platform with new and expanded features and enhancing the ease of use of our platform. We believe that continued investment in our technology is important for our future growth, and, as a result, we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars although they may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenues.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of salaries, incentive compensation and benefits, travel expense, marketing program fees, partner referral fees and stock-based compensation. Sales incentive compensation is recorded as earned as a component of sales and marketing expense. Sales incentive compensation is generally earned at the time a customer enters into a binding purchase agreement while associated revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription term. In addition, sales and marketing expenses include customer acquisition marketing, branding, advertising, customer events and public relations costs, as well as allocated facilities costs. We plan to continue investing heavily in sales and marketing to expand our global operations, increase revenues from current customers, build brand awareness and expand our indirect sales channel. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars and remain our largest expense in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues, although they may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenues.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for our executive, finance, legal, information technology, human resources and other administrative employees. In addition, general and administrative expenses include legal and accounting services, outside consulting, facilities and other supporting overhead costs not allocated to other departments. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars as we continue to expand our business domestically and internationally and incur additional expenses associated with being a publicly traded company.

Other Expense, Net

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expense on our outstanding debt and foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as income related to our investments. In addition, the 2011 and 2010 periods include changes in the fair value of our Series C preferred stock warrants. The Series C preferred stock warrants were exercised late in the third quarter of 2011 and, therefore, we will not incur charges related to these warrants in subsequent periods.

Provision For (Benefit From) Income Taxes

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists of federal and state income taxes in the United States and income taxes in certain foreign tax jurisdictions. Since we have generated net losses, we have placed a valuation allowance against any potential future benefits for loss carryforwards and research and development and other tax credits.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, cash flow and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived assets, including goodwill, and accounting for income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

 

43


Table of Contents

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenues in the form of product fees and related professional service fees. Product fees include subscription fees, perpetual license fees, associated support and maintenance fees and hosting fees. Professional services primarily consist of fees for configuration, training, consultation and implementation services, which are not essential to functionality. For statement of operations classification purposes, we allocate revenues to professional services based on the hourly rate billed for time and materials arrangements and based on the total fixed fee for fixed fee professional services. We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:

 

   

there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;

 

   

the product or services have been delivered to the customer;

 

   

the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and

 

   

the collection of the related fees is reasonably assured.

Signed agreements are used as evidence of an arrangement. If a contract signed by the customer does not exist, we have historically used a purchase order as evidence of an arrangement. In cases where both a signed contract and a purchase order exist, we consider the signed contract to be the final persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Software and corresponding license keys are delivered to customers electronically. Electronic delivery occurs when we provide the customer with access to the software. We assess whether a fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of the arrangement, primarily based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. We do not generally offer extended payment terms with typical terms of payment due between 30 and 60 days from delivery of product or services. However, for professional services that are billable under a time and materials based arrangement, these fees are neither fixed nor determinable until the work is performed and the fee becomes billable to the customer. We assess collectability of the customer receivable based on a number of factors such as collection history with the customer and creditworthiness of the customer. If we determine that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until collectability becomes reasonably assured, generally upon receipt of cash.

We offer subscriptions of our solutions to customers most frequently on a term basis with terms typically ranging from 12 to 36 months. While term-based licenses make up the majority of our total revenues, we have occasionally licensed our solutions to customers on a perpetual basis with on-going support and maintenance services. We recognize license revenue in accordance with software industry specific guidance. Revenues related to term license fees are recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date the customer has access to the software license key and continuing through the end of the contract term. For term-based licenses, we do not charge separately for standard support and maintenance, and, therefore, inherent in the license fees are fees for support and maintenance services for the duration of the license term. As fees for support and maintenance are always bundled with the license over the entire term of the contract, we do not have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for support and maintenance. Revenues generated from perpetual license sales also include support and maintenance services for an initial stated term, both the perpetual license and support and maintenance are recognized ratably over the initial stated term. We do not have VSOE of fair value for support and maintenance on perpetual licenses as we have not had sufficient consistently priced standalone sales of support and maintenance.

In situations where we have contractually committed to an individual customer specific technology, we defer all of the revenue for that customer until the technology is delivered and accepted. Once delivery occurs, we then recognize the revenue over the remaining contract term.

 

44


Table of Contents

License arrangements may also include professional services, such as installation and training services, which are typically delivered early in the contract term. This combination of products and services represents a multiple-element arrangement for revenue recognition purposes. We have determined that we do not have VSOE of fair value for each element of a multiple-element sales arrangement and, accordingly, we account for fees received under that multiple-element arrangement as a single unit of accounting and recognize the fees for the entire arrangement ratably, commencing on delivery of the software, over the longer of the term of the support and maintenance or the period over which professional services are delivered. Support and maintenance is always the last undelivered element in the arrangement and, therefore, we recognize the fixed portion of the fees ratably over the support and maintenance term. For contracts with multiple elements, we recognize the license, support and maintenance, and fixed fee professional service revenue ratably over the term of the arrangement beginning upon delivery of the software. We believe this method most closely reflects the economics of the transaction as we deliver access to the software and we begin providing support and maintenance services as of the date the software is delivered.

Professional services are offered on both our fixed fee and our time and materials hourly billing arrangements. For time and materials-based professional services that are part of a multiple-element arrangement where the fees for the professional services are not fixed or determinable upon delivery of the software, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term as the related fees become fixed. These fees are not considered fixed at the outset of the arrangement and become fixed as the related work is performed and the fees are earned and billed. These services are typically provided early in the contract term with completion typically occurring in the first six months. As these fees become fixed, they are added to the total fee for the multiple-element arrangement and recognized ratably with all other arrangement fees over the entire contract term. When billed, a cumulative revenue catch-up is calculated as the revenue earned from the date the software was made available to the customer to the date services have been completed, with recognition continuing ratably to the end of the contract term. These amounts, when recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, are classified as professional services revenues based on the hourly rates at which they are billed. If there are significant acceptance clauses associated with the license or services or uncertainty associated with our ability to perform the professional services, revenues are deferred until the acceptance is received or the uncertainty is resolved. We record amounts that have been invoiced, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, in accounts receivable and in deferred revenues or revenues, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Hosting revenues are derived from providing our software solutions in a hosted environment where the customer does not take possession of the software on their premises. With the exception of Jive Cloud, customers have the option to elect to take possession of the software and install on their premises or sub-contract the hosting services through us. Such arrangements are considered software sales as the customer has the same rights to the software license regardless of their election to have us host on their behalf or install on their premises. As a result, the fees associated with license, support and hosted services are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the arrangement. For Jive Cloud licensing arrangements, customers do not have the right to take possession of the software supporting the cloud-based application service at any time.

We occasionally sell professional services separately and recognize revenues resulting from those as professional services are performed. If there is a significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for the consulting services, revenues are deferred until the uncertainty is resolved. If acceptance provisions exist within a professional services arrangement, revenues will be deferred until the services are accepted, the acceptance period has expired or cash is received from the customer.

Our policy is to record revenues net of any applicable sales, use or excise taxes.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability or refusal of our customers to make required payments. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. We evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable balances on a quarterly basis. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $0.2 million and $0.1 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Bad debt expense was $0.2 million in 2012 and $0.1 million 2011 and 2010. If the financial conditions of our customers were to materially change or there were other circumstances that resulted in their inability to pay, the estimates of recoverability of receivables could materially change.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of acquired entities. We perform a goodwill impairment test annually during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year and more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment may have occurred. Such events or circumstances may include significant adverse changes in the general business climate, among other things. In 2012, we adopted Account Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which allows us to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. We elected to forgo step zero, qualitative assessment, and proceed to the first step of the test for goodwill impairment. Step one of the impairment test is performed by determining the reporting unit’s fair value based on estimated discounted future cash flows and considering the estimated fair market value of our common stock. We have determined that we have one reporting unit, which represents the activities of the entire company. If the reporting unit’s carrying value is less than its fair value, then the fair value is allocated to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the fair value was the purchase price to acquire us. The excess of the fair value over the amounts assigned to our assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Goodwill of $23.4 million as of December 31, 2012 relates to our acquisitions of Producteev and Meetings.io, which occurred in November 2012, our acquisition of OffiSync, which occurred in May 2011 and to our acquisition of Filtrbox, which occurred in January 2010. Our impairment tests performed in the fourth quarter of 2012, 2011 and 2010 did not indicate any impairment of goodwill as the fair value of our business substantially exceeded its carrying value in all periods presented.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is estimated to become more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, we currently maintain a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance totaled $53.4 million and $37.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained. Interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as tax expense within our consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2012, we had total unrecognized tax benefits of $0.7 million. All unrecognized tax benefits would currently not have an impact on the effective tax rate if recognized. The interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits were insignificant.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted to our employees and directors, including stock options and restricted stock, based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. The fair value is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.

The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option-pricing model is affected by our common stock fair value, as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables, including our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, stock option exercise and cancellation behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends.

Table of Contents

If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the awards granted previously.

We account for stock options issued to nonemployees based on the estimated fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The measurement of stock-based compensation is subject to quarterly adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and the resulting change in fair value is recognized in our consolidated statement of operations during the period the related services are rendered.

Products Revenues

The increase in products revenues in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily the result of an overall increase in the average annual subscription value of a customer, as a result of the realization of greater upsell on our existing customers; and increases in the aggregate number of total customers on the Jive Social Business Platform, including Jive Cloud, which grew from 667 as of December 31, 2011 to 800 as of December 31, 2012. The average new customer subscription size decreased approximately 42% in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily due to the impact of our Jive Cloud offering released in 2012. Excluding the impact of Jive Cloud, the average new customer subscription size increased approximately 35% in 2012 compared to 2011. While Jive Cloud transactions are typically initially smaller than our traditional public and private cloud transactions, we believe Jive Cloud will contribute to significant upsell opportunities in future periods.

The increase in products revenues in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily the result of an increase in the average annual subscription transaction size and an increase in the aggregate number of customers on the Jive Platform, which grew from 590 as of December 31, 2010 to 667 as of December 31, 2011. The increase in the average annual subscription transaction size was primarily due to the combination of the effects of upsell transactions with our existing customers and new customer additions, as we continued to focus on initiating and building more strategic and pervasive customer relationships with both our prospects and our existing customers.

Additionally, renewal rates, excluding upsell, remained above 90% for transactions over $50,000 in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Professional Services Revenues

In 2012 compared to 2011, professional services revenues as a percent of product revenues decreased by 4.8 percentage points as continued enhancements of the core product have decreased the amount of customization requested by customers. This was also driven by our most recent release, Jive Cloud, a public cloud, non-customizable version of our Jive Platform.

 

48


Table of Contents

The increase in professional services revenues in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to increased demand for customization and unique branding related to the increase in overall products revenues. However, the percentage increase in professional services revenues was 30.1 percentage points less than the prior year period increase in products revenues due to the increased mix of products revenues generated from renewals, which typically require less professional services support.

Cost of Revenues: Products

The increase in cost of revenues for products in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the increase in products revenues and included a $3.5 million increase in salaries and benefits related to increased headcount in our operations and support personnel, a $2.2 million increase in depreciation expense related to the build-out of our Phoenix, Arizona data center, a $0.6 million increase in allocations for IT and facilities costs, a $0.8 million increase in subscription and third-party hosting services, a $1.1 million increase in third-party royalties and a $1.2 million increase in intangible asset amortization. These factors were partially offset by a decrease in third-party consulting fees of $0.8 million.

Headcount in our hosting department remained consistent during the year with 31 employees as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. Increased costs in hosting in 2012 compared to 2011 relate to the increase in mix of revenues towards our public cloud deployment models, our programs to scale our public cloud capabilities for future growth and an increase in amortization of acquired intangibles as a result of acquisitions. Additionally, headcount in our support organization grew from 32 as of December 31, 2011 to 50 as of December 31, 2012.

The increase in products gross margin was driven by efficiencies gained through utilization of our internally managed data centers as we continue to transition our existing public cloud customers from a third-party hosting service, as well as deploying our new public cloud customers directly to our managed data centers.

The increase in cost of revenues for products in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to the increase in products revenues and included a $3.2 million increase in salaries and benefits, a $1.6 million increase in third-party hosting services, a $1.2 million increase in third-party royalties, a $0.8 million increase in third-party consulting fees, a $2.3 million increase in acquisition related charges and a $0.7 million increase in allocations for IT and facilities costs. Additionally, transition of our data center infrastructure to a model in which we own our data center equipment resulted in an increase in related depreciation and maintenance expense of $1.5 million.

The decline in products gross margin in 2011 compared to 2010 was attributable to our third-party data center costs and increased headcount in our hosting department due to the increase in mix of revenue towards our public cloud deployment model and scaling for future growth, and an increase in amortization of acquired intangibles.

Cost of Revenues: Professional Services

In 2012 compared to 2011, cost of revenues for professional services related to salaries and benefits increased $1.8 million and also increased $0.2 million related to travel and consulting costs.

The decrease in the professional services gross margin in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to lower professional service revenues as a percentage of total revenues, as a result of our most recent release, Jive Cloud, which is a non-customizable version of our Jive Platform.

Additionally, we offer professional services on both fixed fee and time and materials hourly billing arrangements. For time and materials-based professional services that are part of a multiple-element arrangement where the fees for the professional services are not fixed or determinable upon delivery of the software, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term as the related fees become fixed. We also sell professional services separately, outside of multiple-element arrangements, and recognize revenues resulting from those as professional services are delivered. Professional services revenues recognized from non-multiple-element arrangements, as a percentage of total professional services revenues, in 2012 were 9 percentage points less than in 2011, resulting in a greater percentage of the professional services revenues related to professional services performed in the current twelve-month period being recognized ratably over the contract term, which typically extends beyond the current period.

Furthermore, we experienced decreased utilization of our existing full-time professional services employees in 2012 compared to 2011.

The increase in cost of revenues for professional services in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to the increase in professional services revenues, partially offset by improvements related to the improved proportion of full-time professional services employees in relation to the more expensive third-party consultants, and included a $3.0 million increase in salaries and benefits and a $0.2 million increase in allocations for IT and facilities costs, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in third-party consulting fees.

The increase in the professional services gross margin in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to the conversion of third-party consultants to full-time employees, as well as increased utilization of our existing full-time professional services employees.

The increase in salaries and benefits was a result of increasing our research and development headcount from 136 as of December 31, 2011 to 181 as of December 31, 2012, and includes a $3.6 million increase in stock-based compensation. The increase in 2012 was partially offset by acquisition related expenses incurred in 2011 associated with the acquisition of Proximal Labs, Inc., which included $1.6 million in bonuses, as well as $1.0 million in amortization expense related to in process research and development that was fully expensed at the time of acquisition.

The increase in research and development expenses in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to a $10.2 million increase in salaries and benefits, as a result of increased headcount, which included a $2.1 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $1.7 million increase in signing bonuses for new hires associated with acquisitions, a $1.0 million increase in amortization of intangibles related to the Proximal Labs acquisition, a $0.7 million increase in allocations for IT and facilities costs and a $0.8 million increase in miscellaneous costs, such as software subscriptions, depreciation, travel and consulting.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to a $9.8 million increase in salaries and benefits, and includes a $3.7 million increase in commission expense, a $1.2 million increase in travel costs, a $1.1 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $1.0 million increase in allocations for IT and facilities and subscription services, all primarily as a result of increasing our sales and marketing headcount from 127 as of December 31, 2011 to 154 as of December 31, 2012. The increase was also attributable to a $2.0 million increase in general marketing spending related to our Try Jive and Jive Live Tour marketing campaigns, as well as our annual user conference, Jive World. Additionally, a $1.4 million increase in consulting fees contributed to the change.

The increase in sales and marketing expenses in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to a $12.4 million increase in salaries and benefits, which included a $3.1 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $2.9 million increase in sales commissions due to higher sales volume, a $1.2 million increase in travel costs, a $1.1 million increase in tradeshow marketing costs, a $0.9 million increase in allocations for IT and facilities costs, a $0.4 million increase in third-party commissions, and a $0.2 million increase in miscellaneous costs such as software subscriptions.

The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in salaries and benefits, which was primarily as a result of increased headcount. The increase was also driven by stock-based compensation expense, which generated $1.6 million of the total increase in salaries and benefits. The increase was also due to a $1.9 million increase in facilities expenses, IT expenses, and other miscellaneous professional fees, offset by a $1.9 million increase in overhead allocations out of general and administrative to the other functions based on relative headcount. General and administrative headcount grew from 44 as of December 31, 2011 to 57 as of December 31, 2012.

The increase in general and administrative expenses in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in salaries and benefits, which included a $1.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $2.3 million increase in professional fees, such as legal and audit costs, primarily in relation to our initial public offering, a $1.0 million increase in facilities costs, excluding depreciation, a $0.8 million increase in depreciation from both facilities and IT capital additions and a $1.5 million increase in other expenses for travel, consulting fees and miscellanies IT costs. These increases were partially offset by an increase of $2.6 million in overhead allocations out of general and administrative to the other functions based on relative headcount.

The change in other expense, net in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the exercise of the Series C preferred stock warrants in the third quarter of 2011. Accordingly, we did not have income or expense related to these warrants in 2012. The expense related to the Series C preferred stock warrant was $7.2 million in 2011. Additionally, there was a decrease of $1.3 million related to interest expense in 2012 compared to 2011 due to the repayment of our $15 million term loan with Silicon Valley Bank in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The increase in other expense, net in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to a $7.0 million increase in the change in the fair value of the Series C preferred stock warrants and a $1.5 million increase in interest expense. Interest expense increased as a result of additional borrowing on our line of credit and additional term loans used to fund our acquisition of OffiSync and for general capital expenditures. The Series C preferred stock warrants were exercised during the third quarter of 2011 and, accordingly, we will not have any expense related to these warrants in future periods.

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recorded income taxes that were principally attributable to state and foreign taxes. We currently believe that the recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from future tax benefits as a result of our losses before provision for income taxes is not more likely than not to be realized. We therefore continued to record valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets and, accordingly, benefits generated related to losses were offset by increases in the valuation allowance.

In 2012 and 2011, in connection with the multiple acquisitions, a deferred tax liability of $0.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, was established for the book and tax basis differences related to specifically identified non-goodwill intangibles. The net liability from the acquisition created an additional source of income to utilize our deferred tax assets and, therefore, a corresponding amount of the valuation allowance was released.

Table of Contents

Our principal source of liquidity at December 31, 2012 consisted of $49.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $96.5 million of short-term marketable securities. As of December 31, 2012, $1.0 million of our cash was held in foreign bank accounts. Our principal needs for liquidity include funding our operating losses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service and acquisitions. We believe that our available resources are sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months from December 31, 2012.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $3.1 million during 2012 compared to cash used by operating activities of $9.5 million in 2011. The improvement in cash flows generated from operating activities primarily resulted from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Changes to our operating cash flows are historically impacted by the growth in our calculated billings and our ability to maintain or improve the timeframe to collect the cash from outstanding accounts receivable, or days billings outstanding, offset by funding our growth and working capital needs.

The $3.1 million of cash provided by operating activities in 2012 resulted from our net loss of $47.4 million, offset by net non-cash charges of $28.0 million and changes in our operating assets and liabilities as discussed below.

Accounts receivable, net increased $22.2 million to $54.2 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $32.0 million at December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of a $16.0 million increase in billings in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Additionally, we had a decrease of $2.6 million in invoices that were billed and collected in the same period at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 and an increase in days billings outstanding to 96 days in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to 82 days in the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities increased $7.0 million to $16.7 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $9.7 million at December 31, 2011, primarily due to growth in our overall business and the timing of payments.

Accrued payroll and related liabilities increased $0.8 million to $7.4 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $6.6 million at December 31, 2011, primarily due to an increase in accrued commissions as a result of increased billings in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to the fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease in the average commission rates earned on the value associated with the out years for contracts where the term exceeded one year.

Deferred revenue increased $39.2 million to $117.0 million at December 31, 2012 compared to $77.8 million at December 31, 2011, primarily due to new business and renewal-related billings, as well as billings for multi-year commitments, in 2012.

The $9.5 million of cash used in operating activities in 2011 resulted from our net loss of $50.8 million, offset by net non-cash charges of $21.0 million and changes in our operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and deferred revenue.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our primary investing activities have consisted of purchases of investments, purchases of property and equipment primarily related to the build out of our data centers, as well as payments for intangible assets and acquisitions. We continue to invest the proceeds from our IPO, and we made net investments of $137.4 million in 2012, which included $119.1 million in purchases of marketable securities net of maturities and sales of marketable securities, $10.6 million used for purchases of property and equipment, and $7.6 million used for acquisitions. We anticipate spending approximately $10 million to $12 million for the purchase of property and equipment in 2013, primarily for the continued expansion of our data centers.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Our financing activities have consisted primarily of borrowings and repayments under out revolving credit facilities and the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock from employee option exercises. Cash provided by financing activities of $2.5 million in 2012 resulted from $6.0 million in cash receipts related to stock option exercises being offset by $2.5 million in principal payments on our term debt, as well as $1.0 million in payments for offering expenses associated with our initial public offering in December 2011, which were accrued at December 31, 2011.

Debt Arrangements

Term Loan

In May 2012, we entered into a secured revolving loan facility and term loan facility of up to $30.0 million and terminated the previously outstanding credit facility agreement. Revolving loans may be converted into term loans under the facility, with all outstanding term loans reducing the availability under the revolving loan facility. As of December 31, 2012, we had outstanding a $10.8 million term loan under the secured revolving loan facility and term loan facility as a result of refinancing $12 million of previously existing term loans in May 2012. Interest is accrued, at our option, at (i) an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin of 2.0% or 2.25%, or (ii) the prime rate, plus a margin of 0.25% or 0.50%, in each case with such margin determined based on our adjusted quick ratio. The interest rate on this loan at December 31, 2012 was 2.06%. Repayment began July 1, 2012, and is payable in 16 quarterly installment payments. Each of the installment payments is $0.6 million, plus accrued interest.

The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum services to be used; fixed, and minimum or variable price provisions. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.

See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Loan and Security Agreement” for a description of our payment obligations under our term loan.

The contractual commitments primarily relate to our third-party hosting service.

Obligations under operating leases primarily relates to our office spaces, and, to a lesser extent, a lease for a third-party facility that houses our data center.

The contractual obligations reported above exclude our liability of $0.7 million for unrecognized tax benefits, which are more fully discussed in Note 11, “Income Taxes,” of Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except as disclosed under the Contractual Payment Obligations section above, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Recent Accounting Guidance

See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to financial market risks, primarily changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investments, our revolving credit facility and our variable-rate, long-term debt.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This objective is accomplished by making diversified investments, consisting only of investment grade securities.

As of December 31, 2012, we held cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $168.1 million. Based on the nature of our marketable securities, a decline in interest rates over time would reduce our interest income, but would not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows, as we have classified our securities as available-for-sale and, therefore, may choose to sell or hold them as changes in the market occur. In addition, due to the nature of our highly liquid cash equivalents, a change in interest rates would not materially affect the fair value of our cash equivalents.

Our revolving credit facility and senior term loan bear interest at a variable rate tied to the prime or LIBOR rate, at our option. Based on amounts outstanding at December 31, 2012, a 10% increase in the prime or LIBOR rate would not materially increase our interest expense.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Jive Software Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jive Software Inc., and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jive Software Inc., and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of the Business

Jive Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide a social business platform that improves business results by enabling a more productive and effective workforce through enhanced communications and collaboration both inside and outside the enterprise. Organizations deploy our platform to improve employee productivity, enhance revenue opportunities, lower operational costs, increase customer retention and improve strategic decision making. Our platform is offered on a subscription basis, deployable in a private or public cloud and used for internal or external communities. We generate revenues from platform license fees as well as from professional service fees for configuration, implementation and training.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates relating to revenue recognition, the useful lives of fixed assets, stock-based compensation, assumptions used in estimating the fair value of warrants, assumptions used in testing for impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and the recoverability of deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jive Software, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications were not significant to the financial statements.

Segments

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that meets the following criteria:

 

   

engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;

 

   

operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and

 

   

discrete financial information is available.

We define the term “chief operating decision maker” to be our Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by product line and geographic region for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. We have one business activity and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results or plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, we have determined that we operate in a single reporting segment, software sales and service.

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenues in the form of product fees and related professional service fees. Product fees include subscription fees, perpetual license fees, associated support and maintenance fees and hosting fees. Professional services primarily consist of fees for configuration, training, consultation and implementation services, which are not essential to the functionality of the software. For statement of operations classification purposes, we allocate revenues to professional services based on the hourly rate billed for time and materials arrangements and based on the total fixed fee for fixed fee professional services. We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:

 

   

there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement;

 

   

the product or services have been delivered to the customer;

 

   

the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and

 

   

the collection of the related fees is reasonably assured.

Signed agreements are used as evidence of an arrangement. If a contract signed by the customer does not exist, we have historically used a purchase order as evidence of an arrangement. In cases where both a signed contract and a purchase order exist, we consider the signed contract to be the final persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Software and corresponding license keys are delivered to customers electronically. Electronic delivery occurs when we provide the customer with access to the software. We assess whether a fee is fixed or determinable at the outset of the arrangement, primarily based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. We do not generally offer extended payment terms with typical terms of payment due between 30 and 60 days from delivery of solutions or services. However, for professional services that are billable under a time and materials based arrangement, these fees are neither fixed nor determinable until the work is performed and the fee becomes billable to the customer. We assess collectability of the customer receivable based on a number of factors such as collection history with the customer and creditworthiness of the customer. If we determine that collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until collectability becomes reasonably assured, generally upon receipt of cash.

We offer subscriptions of our platform to customers most frequently on a term basis with terms typically ranging from 12 to 36 months. While term-based licenses make up the majority of our total revenues, we have occasionally licensed our solutions to customers on a perpetual basis with on-going support and maintenance services. We recognize license revenue in accordance with software industry specific guidance. Revenues related to term license fees are recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date the customer has access to the software license key and continuing through the end of the contract term. For term-based licenses, we do not charge separately for standard support and maintenance, and, therefore, inherent in the license fees are fees for support and maintenance services for the duration of the license term. As fees for support and maintenance are always bundled with the license over the entire term of the contract, we do not have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for support and maintenance. Revenues generated from perpetual license sales also include support and maintenance services for an initial stated term, both the perpetual license and support and maintenance are recognized ratably over the initial stated term. We do not have VSOE of fair value for support and maintenance on perpetual licenses as we have not had sufficient consistently priced standalone sales of support and maintenance.

License arrangements may also include professional services, such as installation and training services, which are typically delivered early in the contract term. This combination of products and services represents a multiple-element arrangement for revenue recognition purposes. We have determined that we do not have VSOE of fair value for each element of a multiple-element sales arrangement and, accordingly, we account for fees received under that multiple-element arrangement as a single unit of accounting and recognize the fees for the entire arrangement ratably, commencing on delivery of the software, over the longer of the term of the support and maintenance or the period over which professional services are delivered. Support and maintenance is always the last undelivered element in the arrangement and, therefore, we recognize the fixed portion of the fees ratably over the support and maintenance term. For contracts with multiple elements, we recognize the license, support and maintenance, and fixed fee professional service revenue ratably over the term of the arrangement beginning upon delivery of the software. We believe this method most closely reflects the economics of the transaction as we deliver access to the software and we begin providing support and maintenance services as of the date the software is delivered.

Table of Contents

Professional services are offered on both fixed fee and time and materials hourly billing arrangements. For time and materials-based professional services that are part of a multiple-element arrangement where the fees for the professional services are not fixed or determinable upon delivery of the software, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term as the related fees become fixed. These fees are not considered fixed at the outset of the arrangement and become fixed as the related work is performed and the fees are earned and billed. These services are typically provided early in the contract term with completion typically occurring in the first six months. As these fees become fixed, they are added to the total fee for the multiple-element arrangement and recognized ratably with all other arrangement fees over the entire contract term. When billed, a cumulative revenue catch-up is calculated as the revenue earned from the date the software was made available to the customer to the date services have been completed, with recognition continuing ratably to the end of the contract term. These amounts, when recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, are classified as professional services revenues based on the hourly rates at which they are billed. If there are significant acceptance clauses associated with the license or services or uncertainty associated with our ability to perform the professional services, revenues are deferred until the acceptance is received or the uncertainty is resolved. We record amounts that have been invoiced, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, in accounts receivable and in deferred revenues or revenues, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Hosting revenues are derived from providing our software solutions in a hosted environment where the customer does not take possession of the software on their premises. With the exception of the Jive Cloud licensing model, customers have the option to elect to take possession of the software and install on their premises or sub-contract the hosting services through us. Such arrangements are considered software sales as the customer has the same rights to the software license regardless of their election to have us host on their behalf or install on their premises. As a result, the fees associated with license, support and hosted services are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the arrangement. For Jive Cloud licensing arrangements, customers do not have the right to take possession of the software supporting the cloud-based application service at any time.

We occasionally sell professional services separately and recognize revenues resulting from those as professional services are performed. If there is a significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for the consulting services, revenues are deferred until the uncertainty is resolved. If acceptance provisions exist within a professional services arrangement, revenues will be deferred until the services are accepted, the acceptance period has expired or cash is received from the customer.

Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

We account for tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction (i.e., sales, use, value added) on a net (excluded from revenue) basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash balances with financial institutions may exceed the deposit insurance limits. Included in cash and cash equivalents were cash equivalents of $0.5 million and $0 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are carried at their original invoice amounts less the allowance for doubtful accounts and do not bear interest. Our policy is to maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability or refusal of our customers to make required payments. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the collectability of our trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. If the financial conditions of our customers were to materially change or there were other circumstances that resulted in their inability or unwillingness to pay, the estimates of recoverability of receivables could materially change.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying value of cash equivalents and other accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of their maturities. The fair values of the long-term debt and revolving credit facility approximate their carrying values since their interest rates are variable and based on current market rates.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

   

three years for computer equipment, hardware and software;

 

   

seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment; and

 

   

the lesser of five years or the remaining term of the underlying lease for leasehold improvements.

Ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Software Capitalization

Costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs are capitalized. The costs to develop such software have not been capitalized because we believe our current software development process is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility. However, we capitalize software costs acquired in business combinations and asset purchases, provided the acquired software has established technological feasibility as of the acquisition date.

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which principally consist of property and equipment and acquired intangible assets with finite lives, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. If that review indicates that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

We did not incur any long-lived asset impairment charges in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.

 

65


Table of Contents

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of acquired entities. We perform a goodwill impairment test annually during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year and more frequently if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment may have occurred. Such events or circumstances may include significant adverse changes in the general business climate, among other things.

In 2012, we adopted Account Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which allows us to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the conclusion is that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we then perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. During 2012, we elected to forgo step zero, qualitative assessment, and proceed to the first step of the test for goodwill impairment. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value, and, if an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit, we must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill as determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. We did not record any charges related to goodwill impairment during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Intangible Assets

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives and have no significant residual value. Definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment as discussed above under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.”

Other Assets

Other assets include deposits for facilities leases and other miscellaneous long-term assets.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from our subscription, hosting, professional services and support and maintenance revenues described above and are recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. We generally invoice our customers in annual installments. Accordingly, the deferred revenues balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year non-cancelable subscription agreements. Deferred revenue also includes certain deferred professional services fees, which are recognized as revenues ratably over the associated contract term. We defer the professional service fees in situations where the professional services and subscription contracts are accounted for as a single unit of accounting. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent. Approximately 5% and 6% of total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to deferred professional services revenues.

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade receivables. Cash is placed on deposit in major financial institutions in the United States. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our cash deposits are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.

We sell our products to companies in diverse industries and do not require our customers to provide collateral to support accounts receivable. When necessary, credit reviews of significant customers are performed prior to extending credit. The determination of a customer’s ability to pay requires significant judgment, and failure to collect from a customer can adversely affect revenues, cash and net income. To reduce credit risk, we also perform ongoing credit evaluations of our more significant customers’ financial conditions. We maintain an allowance for potential doubtful accounts.

 

66


Table of Contents

No individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenues in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010. No customer accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2012 and one customer accounted for 11% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards, including stock options and restricted stock, based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. The fair value of the awards is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.

The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option-pricing model is affected by assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables, which include our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, stock option exercise and cancellation behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. In addition, prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) in December 2011, we also made assumptions regarding the fair value of our common stock.

Income Taxes

We record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is estimated to be more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained. Interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as tax expense within our consolidated financial statements.

Warranties

We typically warrant that our products will perform in a manner consistent with the product specifications provided to the customer for 180 days for sales to companies in the United States and 365 days for sales to companies in Europe. Historically, we have not been required to make payments under these obligations, and we have not recorded any liability for these obligations in our consolidated financial statements.

Commissions

Commissions are recorded as a component of sales and marketing expenses and consist of the variable compensation paid to our direct sales force. Generally, sales commissions are earned and recorded as an expense at the time that a customer has entered into a binding purchase agreement. Commissions paid to sales personnel are recoverable only in the case that we cannot collect against any invoiced fee associated with a sales order. Commission expense was $12.9 million, $9.2 million and $6.3 million, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Leases

We lease our facilities under operating leases. For leases that contain rent escalation or rent concession provisions, we record the total rent expense during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We record the difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent expense as a deferred rent liability in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred as a component of sales and marketing expense and totaled $4.9 million, $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Certain software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are required to be capitalized. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Historically, the period between achieving technological feasibility and general availability of such software has been short and software development costs qualifying for capitalization have been immaterial. Accordingly, we have not capitalized any software development costs.

Legal Costs

We are a party to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Legal costs are expensed as incurred as a component of General and administrative expense.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Preferred shares do not share in losses. Accordingly, given that we have incurred a net loss for all periods presented, the entire net loss is attributable to common stock holders. At the time of our IPO in 2011, all preferred shares converted, one for one, to common shares. Diluted net loss per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method, the vesting of restricted stock and the conversion of all convertible preferred stock, if dilutive.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit. Income and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods presented. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net loss. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the respective exchange rates in effect on the consolidated balance sheet dates. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses were not material in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Note 3. Acquisitions

2012

Producteev LLC

On November 21, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Producteev LLC (“Producteev”), a cloud-based project and task management company. The total purchase consideration of $7 million was comprised of cash.

The purchase price was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase accounting allocations resulted in intangible assets of $3.1 million and goodwill of $4.2 million, $1.4 million of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets acquired included core technologies, covenants not to compete, customer relationships and trade names. The key factors attributable to the creation of goodwill by the transaction are the synergies associated with the integration of the Producteev task-management product into our social platform.

See Note 11, “Income Taxes” regarding the tax effect of the acquisition on our consolidated financial statements.

Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisition was not material to prior period financial statements. Revenue and earnings information since the date of acquisition was not material to the current period financial statements.

Meetings.io

On November 5, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Meetings.io, a cloud-based real-time video, chat and screen sharing collaboration company. The total purchase consideration of $3.0 million was comprised of $0.6 million in cash and 211,936 shares of our common stock with a fair value on November 5, 2012 of $2.4 million.

We also issued 248,064 shares of restricted common stock to certain Meetings.io employees which vest over a three year period contingent upon the continued employment of the recipients. The fair value of these shares on the grant date was $2.8 million, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation over the three year vesting period.

The purchase price was allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase accounting allocations resulted in intangible assets of $1.0 million and goodwill of $2.0 million. We do not expect goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets acquired included core technologies and covenants not to compete. The key factors attributable to the creation of goodwill by the transaction are the synergies associated with the integration of the Meetings.io real-time features into our social platform.

See Note 11, “Income Taxes” regarding the tax effect of the acquisition on our consolidated financial statements.

2011

OffiSync Corporation

On May 18, 2011 we acquired all of the outstanding shares of OffiSync Corporation (“OffiSync”), a Seattle, Washington-based company, for approximately $22.7 million in cash and 78,110 shares of our common stock at a fair value of $7.87 per share, for a total value of $23.3 million. OffiSync’s services facilitate collaboration on any Microsoft Office document.

We also issued 441,102 shares of restricted common stock to certain OffiSync employees, the fair value of these shares on the grant date was $3.5 million, which is being recognized as stock-based compensation over the 3 year vesting period. In addition, unvested stock options, for which no service was performed prior to acquisition, held by OffiSync employees who were retained were converted to 80,788 Jive common stock options.

The amount of the purchase price allocated to core technology, covenant not to compete, customer relationships and trade names will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of OffiSync is primarily related to the ability of OffiSync to increase viral adoption with our users by integrating both Microsoft Office and Outlook with our Platform and from the expected synergies to be achieved in connection with the acquisition. We do not expect the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

Proximal Labs, Inc.

On March 18, 2011 we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Proximal Labs, Inc. (“Proximal Labs”), a privately held Palo Alto, California-based company, for total purchase consideration of $1.2 million. The consideration was comprised of $0.5 million in cash and 127,054 shares of our common stock.

We also issued 272,946 shares of restricted common stock to certain Proximal Labs employees, the fair value of these shares on the grant date was $1.2 million, which will be recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the four-year vesting period.

The acquisition of Proximal Labs has been accounted for as a purchase of an asset, as it did not meet the definition of a business. Accordingly, the total purchase price was allocated to the identified assets based on their respective fair values on the date of acquisition.

The allocation of the purchase price was as follows (dollars in thousands):

The amount of the purchase price allocated to non-compete agreements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of three years. The amount of the purchase price allocated to in-process research and development was expensed upon acquisition, because the technological feasibility of product under development had not been established.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities

Factors used in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities as of the reporting date;

 

   

Level 2 – other significant directly or indirectly observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk; and

 

   

Level 3 – significant inputs that are generally less observable than objective sources, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

The factors or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table presents our financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly, record them at fair value based on quoted market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of Stockholders’ equity until realized. See the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

We did not have any financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012. We did not have any financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2011.

There were no changes to our valuation techniques during 2012.

During 2012, 2011 and 2010, we did not record any other-than-temporary impairments on those financial assets required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

 

74


Table of Contents

We recognize or disclose the fair value of certain assets such as non-financial assets, primarily long-lived assets, goodwill, intangible assets and certain other assets in connection with impairment evaluations. All of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying value of our term loan approximates its fair value and falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the interest rate is variable and based on current market rates.

Note 8. Long-Term Debt

Credit Facility with Silicon Valley Bank

In May 2012, we entered into a new loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Loan Agreement”), which provides a secured revolving loan facility and term loan facility of up to $30.0 million and expires May 23, 2015. Under the Loan Agreement, revolving loans may be converted into term loans under the facility, subject to specified conditions, with all outstanding term loans reducing the availability under the revolving loan facility. The Loan Agreement also provides up to $3.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts, cash management services and secured swap obligations. On May 23, 2012, we converted the outstanding balance of the existing term loans with Silicon Valley Bank to a new term loan for $12.0 million under the Loan Agreement and terminated the previous credit facility agreement. Revolving loans drawn under the Loan Agreement will be used for working capital, potential acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2012, no amounts remained outstanding under our previously existing term loans with Silicon Valley Bank.

Revolving loans bear interest, at our option, at (i) an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin of 1.75% or 2.0%, or (ii) the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, plus a margin of 0% or 0.25%, in each case with such margin determined based on our adjusted quick ratio. Term loans bear interest, at our option, at (i) an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin of 2.0% or 2.25%, or (ii) the prime rate, plus a margin of 0.25% or 0.50%, in each case with such margin determined based on our adjusted quick ratio. The adjusted quick ratio is a ratio of our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to our current liabilities minus the current portion of our deferred revenue. Interest on the revolving loans and the term loans is due and payable in arrears at the end of an interest period of 30, 60 or 90 days, as selected by us, for loans that bear interest based on the adjusted LIBOR rate, or quarterly for loans that bear interest based on the prime rate. Obligations under the loan facility are secured by a security interest on substantially all of our assets, excluding intellectual property.

The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants subject to certain exceptions. We must also comply with financial covenants under the Loan Agreement, including (i) a minimum quick ratio, (ii) for the period from the closing through December 31, 2013, a minimum adjusted EBITDA, and (iii) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The Loan Agreement also restricts our ability to pay dividends by requiring the written consent of Silicon Valley Bank to pay cash dividends to our stockholders.

The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default including, among others, payment defaults, breaches of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency events, cross defaults with certain material indebtedness, judgment defaults, and breaches of representations and warranties. Upon an event of default, all or a portion of the outstanding obligations may be declared to be immediately due and payable. During the existence of an event of default, interest on the obligations under the Loan Agreement could be increased by 5.0%.

At December 31, 2012, we had $0.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, no revolving loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement and $10.8 million of term loans outstanding at an interest rate of 2.06%. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2012.

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity

In December 2011, our board of directors approved an increase of authorized common shares from 70,000,000 to 290,000,000. In accordance with Delaware state law, we cannot declare a dividend if it would cause an impairment of our capital, and it was determined that, at the time of the authorization, no impairment of our capital existed.

In December 2011, in connection with our IPO, we issued 12,088,403 shares of our common stock at a price of $12.00 per share. In addition, all shares of outstanding preferred stock were converted into a total of 23,082,367 shares of our common stock upon our IPO.

Note 10. Stock-Based Awards and Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Option Plans

2011 Plan

Our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) replaced our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and our 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) upon completion of our IPO. Both the 2007 Plan and the 2002 Plan were then terminated. The 2011 Plan provides our board of directors broad discretion in creating employee equity incentives. Unless otherwise provided in the 2011 Plan document, the compensation committee in its discretion, determines the stock option exercise prices, which may not be less than the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant, vesting periods, and expiration periods, which are a maximum of ten years from the date of grant.

The 2011 Plan allows for grants of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units. Generally, all stock option grants are issued under an option agreement that provides, among other things, that the option grant vests over a four-year period.

The number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan will be increased on the first day of each year beginning with January 1, 2013, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5,000,000 shares; (ii) 3.9% of the outstanding shares on the last day of the immediately preceding year; or (iii) such number of shares as determined by the board of directors.

Stock-Based Compensation

The fair value of the stock-based awards granted to employees was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     Year Ended December 31,  
     2012     2011     2010  

Expected term (in years)

     6.05        6.04        6.02   

Risk-free interest rate

     1.01     1.79     2.36

Volatility

     54.47     55.20     55.10

Dividend yield

     0     0     0

The expected terms of options granted were calculated using the simplified method, which defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility incorporates a calculated volatility derived from the historical closing prices of common shares of our stock as well as similar entities whose share prices are publicly available for the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. We use historical data to estimate the number of future stock option forfeitures.

Prior to 2012, because there was no public market for our common stock prior to our IPO, our board of directors estimated the fair value of our common stock, for purposes of determining the exercise price of stock options and the fair value of restricted stock awards, based upon several factors, including, but not limited to, third-party valuations and our operating and financial performance.

The third-party valuations took into consideration several factors, including, but not limited to:

 

   

prices for preferred stock which were sold to outside investors in arms-length transactions, and the rights, preferences, and privileges of the preferred stock and the common stock;

 

   

the fact that the option grants involved illiquid securities in a private company;

 

   

our stage of development and revenue growth;

 

   

the state of the industry and the economy;

 

   

the marketplace and major competitors; and

 

   

the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying the options, such as an initial public offering or sale of our company, given prevailing market conditions.

Included in stock-based compensation, was $1.7 million, $4.1 million and $0.8 million related to the value of stock options granted to non-employees. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we granted options to purchase zero, 57,500 and 1,275,550 shares of common stock, respectively, to non-employees. Vesting of shares granted to non-employees is contingent on the individual continuing to provide service. Expense for these awards was calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. These awards are equity classified and are marked to market each period with the change in fair value recorded in earnings. At December 31, 2012, options exercisable by non-employees for 65,471 shares of our common stock remained outstanding and are included in the table of stock option activity above.

As of December 31, 2012, we had unrecognized compensation related to all stock-based awards of $58.0 million, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.3 years.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (i) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (ii) operating losses and tax credit carryforwards.

The tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards is recorded as an asset to the extent that we assess that realization is more likely than not. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Due to our recent history of operating losses, we currently believe that the recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above mentioned future tax benefits is not more likely than not to be realized and, accordingly, have provided a full valuation allowance.

The net change in the valuation allowance was an increase of $16.4 million, $14.2 million and $12.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $153.1 million, $98.1 million and $49.9 million, respectively. Additionally, we had research and development tax credit carryforwards of $3.6 million, $2.4 million and $1.4 million at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These carryforwards expire between 2013 and 2032.

Included in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is a $0.3 million and $3.9 million tax benefit, respectively, from the release of valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. In connection with the acquisitions of Producteev, Meetings.io and OffiSync, a deferred tax liability was established for the book-tax basis differences related to the non-goodwill intangibles. The net deferred tax liability from these acquisitions creates an additional source of income to offset our deferred tax assets. As such, the impact on the acquiring company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities caused by an acquisition are recorded in the acquiring company’s financial statements outside of acquisition accounting. Accordingly, the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets was released and resulted in a benefit from the provision from income taxes.

Approximately $40.5 million of our NOL carryforwards were generated as a result of excess tax deductions related to exercises of stock options and disqualifying dispositions. If utilized, this portion of our carryforwards, as tax effected, will be accounted for as a direct increase to contributed capital rather than as a reduction of that year’s provision for income taxes. Net operating loss carryforwards created by excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options are not recorded as deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the deferred tax assets related to the net operating losses have been reduced by $16.5 million and $5.9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. We had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.7 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We recognize penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2012, there are no accrued penalties or interest recorded in the consolidated financial statements. All unrecognized tax benefits would currently not have an impact on the effective tax rate if recognized. The following is a reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

We are subject to income taxes in U.S. federal and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations for tax years ended before December 31, 2008. However, to the extent allowed by law, the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses or tax credits were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss or credit carryforward. We are currently under a federal tax exam for the tax years ending December 31, 2010 and 2011. Management does not anticipate that the examination will have a significant impact on the financial statements. At December 31, 2012, we were not under exam in any other jurisdictions. There could be a significant impact to our uncertain tax positions over the next twelve months depending on the outcome of any audit. We do not anticipate that unrecognized tax benefits will decrease relating to expiring statutes of limitation by the end of 2013.

We did not repatriate any earnings of our foreign subsidiaries in 2012, 2011 or 2010. We plan to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of all of our foreign subsidiaries overseas. Should we plan to repatriate any foreign earnings in the future, we will be required to establish an income tax liability and recognize additional income tax expense related to such earnings. As of December 31, 2012, we had $1.0 million of unrepatriated cash held in foreign bank accounts.

Note 12. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less the weighted-average unvested common stock subject to repurchase or forfeiture. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including preferred stock, stock options and warrants, to the extent dilutive. Since we were in a loss position for all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

Legal Matters

On October 3, 2012, Bascom filed a complaint for patent infringement of U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,111,232; 7,139,974; and 7,158,971 against us, among others, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, captioned Bascom Research, LLC v. Jive Software, Inc., Civil Case No. 1:12CV1114. The complaint seeks damages and an injunction against certain features of our products. The suit has been moved to the Northern District of California and is still pending. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims and are unable to estimate the amount or range of potential loss, if any, which might result if the outcome in this matter is unfavorable.

From time to time, we may become involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the results of such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Operating Leases

Operating lease payments primarily relate to noncancelable operating leases associated with our offices in Oregon, California, Colorado and Israel and the data centers in Arizona and the Netherlands. The facility lease for the currently occupied space in Oregon expires in September 2018. The lease for the headquarters in Palo Alto, California expires in September 2018, and the leases for our data centers in Arizona and the Netherlands which expire in December 2016 and October 2015, respectively. Additionally, we currently occupy a number of sales and service offices in New York, Pennsylvania, Germany and the United Kingdom. In addition to our currently occupied space, there are other facility leases that are no longer being utilized by us that have been fully sublet. Payments received from subleases were $0.6 million, $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were recorded as a reduction to rent expense. Minimum rentals to be received in the future under these subleases as of December 31, 2012 were $0.1 million.

The approximate future minimum lease payments required under operating leases (including for sublet facilities) were as follows (in thousands):

Rent expense, net of sublease income, was $3.9 million, $3.4 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Contractual Commitments

At December 31, 2012, we had $4.9 million of contractual purchase commitments primarily related to third-party hosting services.

Note 15. Geographic Information

Sales to countries which totaled 10% or more of our total revenues, determined based on the location of the end customer, were as follows (in thousands):

Note 16. Employee Benefit Plan

We offer a 401(k) employee savings plan to our U.S.-based employees. We make a nondiscretionary matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% of compensation contributed by employees. We made matching contributions of $1.7 million, $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note 17. Related-Party Transactions

Certain members of our board of directors also serve on the board of directors of certain of our customers and in some cases are also investors of these customers. We believe the transactions between these customers and us were carried out on an arm’s-length basis and that the pricing is consistent with similar transactions with other of our comparable customers. Current deferred revenue and non-current deferred revenue from these customers was $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. Total revenues related to these customers was $0.8 million in 2012. Amounts due from the related party customers were not material at December 31, 2012. We did not have any related party transactions in 2011 or 2010.

Note 18. Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for us on January 1, 2013.

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. Entities are required to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. If an entity concludes, based on an evaluation of all relevant qualitative factors, that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it is not required to perform the quantitative impairment test for that asset. Because the qualitative assessment is optional, an entity is permitted to bypass it for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and apply the quantitative test. ASU 2012-02 also permits the entity to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. ASU 2012-02 is effective for impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-02 to have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” that will allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. See Note 2 for further discussion.

Table of Contents

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 allows an entity to have the option to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminated the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. We adopted ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of 2012 and, accordingly, comprehensive income is included as a separate financial statement that directly follows the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” which amends the wording used to describe many of the requirements of U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and disclosing information about fair value measurements as well as clarifies existing fair value measurement guidance and new disclosure requirements. Amendments in this ASU include: (1) allowing an entity to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities which have offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk and meet certain conditions on a net basis; (2) for Level 3 fair value measurements, entities must disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, entities must disclose the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; (4) entities must disclose the highest-and-best use of a nonfinancial asset when this use differs from the asset’s current use, and the reason for the difference; and (5) disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with no early adoption permitted. All required disclosures are included in Note 4 and 7.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as 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 on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012, 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.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Amendment to Portland, Oregon Lease

On October 31, 2012, we entered into a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement (“Amendment”) with Harsch Investment Properties, LLC (“Landlord”). The Amendment amends the Lease Agreement with the Landlord dated, February 25, 2008 (the “Lease Agreement”), renewing the original Lease Agreement for an additional five years and providing the option of leasing of an additional 14,437 square feet (the “Expansion Area”), comprising the second floor of the premises covered by the Lease Agreement.

The option covered by the Expansion Area is exercisable upon the current tenant vacating the Expansion Area, estimated to be on or about February 28, 2013. If exercised, we will occupy the Expansion Premises on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease Agreement, at a rate of approximately $36,000 per month.

Monthly base rent under the Lease Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, commenced October 1, 2012 for the original premises in an amount of approximately $86,000 per month, increasing annually at a fixed rate per square foot to approximately 3% per annum until expiration.
