Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business We were incorporated in the state of Washington in April 2005, and were reincorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2008. We changed our name from Box.Net, Inc. to Box, Inc. in November 2011. Box provides a leading cloud content management platform that enables organizations of all sizes to securely manage cloud content while allowing easy, secure access and sharing of this content from anywhere, on any device. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2020 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of January 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 (the Form 10-K), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 19, 2020. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Form 10-K. Other than items discussed under Use of Estimates and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, there have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended July 31, 2020 from those disclosed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K, and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our balance sheet as of July 31, 2020, and our results of operations, including our comprehensive loss, our stockholders’ equity, and our cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021. Certain prior period amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income, or net income. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for accounts receivable, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, timing and costs associated with our asset retirement obligations, the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, estimate of standalone selling price allocation included in contracts with multiple performance obligations, the estimated expected benefit period for deferred commissions, the estimated useful life of capitalized internal-use software costs, observable price changes of non-marketable equity securities, fair value of derivative instruments, the incremental borrowing rate we use to determine our lease liabilities, fair values of stock-based awards, legal contingencies, the valuation of deferred income tax assets, and unrecognized tax benefits, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Certain Risks and Concentrations Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions, our deposits, at times, may exceed deposit insurance coverage limits. We sell to a broad range of customers. Our revenue is derived primarily from the United States across a multitude of industries. Accounts receivable are derived from the delivery of our services to customers primarily located in the United States. We accept and settle our accounts receivable using credit cards, electronic payments and checks. A majority of our lower dollar value invoices are settled by credit card on or near the date of the invoice. We do not require collateral from customers to secure accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectability, which takes into consideration specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. We believe collections of our accounts receivable are probable based on the size, industry diversification, financial condition and past transaction history of our customers. As of July 31, 2020, no customers accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. As of January 31, 2020, one reseller, which is also a customer, accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. No single customer represented over 10% of revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020. One reseller, which is also a customer, represented 11% and 10% of our revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2019, respectively. We serve our customers and users from data center facilities operated by third parties. In order to reduce the risk of down time of our subscription services, we have established data centers and third-party cloud computing and hosting providers in various locations in the United States and abroad. We have internal procedures to restore services in the event of disaster at any one of our current data center facilities. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, our cloud services could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of the procedures to restore services. Geographic Locations For the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, revenue attributable to customers in the United States was 72%. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, revenue attributable to customers in Japan was 14% and 13%, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2019, revenue attributable to customers in the United States was 75% and 76%, respectively. No country outside of the United States comprised 10% or greater of our revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2019. Substantially all of our net assets are located in the United States. As of July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, property and equipment located in the United States was approximately 95% and 94%, respectively. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, we are required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. We adopted the new standard, effective February 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by improving consistent application of other areas of Topic 740. The new standard is effective for us beginning February 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. Reference rate reform refers to the global transition away from certain reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and to the introduction of new reference rates that are based on a larger and more liquid population of observable transactions. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU were effective upon issuance and may be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the expedients and exceptions of this new standard on our November 2017 Facility and our hedging relationships that reference LIBOR. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Other than items discussed under Use of Estimates and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended July 31, 2020 from those disclosed in Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K, and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our balance sheet as of July 31, 2020, and our results of operations, including our comprehensive loss, our stockholders’ equity, and our cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021.

Certain prior period amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income, or net income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for accounts receivable, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, timing and costs associated with our asset retirement obligations, the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, estimate of standalone selling price allocation included in contracts with multiple performance obligations, the estimated expected benefit period for deferred commissions, the estimated useful life of capitalized internal-use software costs, observable price changes of non-marketable equity securities, fair value of derivative instruments, the incremental borrowing rate we use to determine our lease liabilities, fair values of stock-based awards, legal contingencies, the valuation of deferred income tax assets, and unrecognized tax benefits, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions, our deposits, at times, may exceed deposit insurance coverage limits.

We sell to a broad range of customers. Our revenue is derived primarily from the United States across a multitude of industries. Accounts receivable are derived from the delivery of our services to customers primarily located in the United States. We accept and settle our accounts receivable using credit cards, electronic payments and checks.

One reseller, which is also a customer, represented 11% and 10% of our revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2019, respectively.

We serve our customers and users from data center facilities operated by third parties. In order to reduce the risk of down time of our subscription services, we have established data centers and third-party cloud computing and hosting providers in various locations in the United States and abroad. We have internal procedures to restore services in the event of disaster at any one of our current data center facilities. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, our cloud services could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of the procedures to restore services.

Substantially all of our net assets are located in the United States. As of July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, property and equipment located in the United States was approximately 95% and 94%, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, we are required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. We adopted the new standard, effective February 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by improving consistent application of other areas of Topic 740. The new standard is effective for us beginning February 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted.

The amendments in this ASU were effective upon issuance and may be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the expedients and exceptions of this new standard on our November 2017 Facility and our hedging relationships that reference LIBOR.
