Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In management's opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2019, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 ("Annual Report") filed with the SEC. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required under GAAP.

Changes in accounting policies

The Company has consistently applied these accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except for the Company's adoption of certain accounting standards described in more detail under "Recently adopted accounting pronouncements" in this Note 2 below.

Basis of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and a subsidiary where the Company exercises control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency of PROS France SAS ("PROS France") is the euro. The financial statements of this subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, historical rates of exchange for equity, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenue and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders' equity.

Dollar amounts

The dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure.

10

Use of estimates

The Company makes estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and its estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The complexity and judgment required in the Company's estimation process, as well as issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations, affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue. Estimates are also used for, but not limited to, receivables, allowance for doubtful accounts, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, useful lives of assets, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation, valuation of stock options, other current liabilities and accrued liabilities. Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates. The critical accounting policies related to estimates and judgments are discussed in the Annual Report under management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and are also discussed under Item 2 "Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations".

The Company derives its revenues primarily from subscription services, professional services, perpetual licensing of its software products and associated software maintenance and support services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

• Identification of the performance obligations in the customer contract(s);

• Determination of the transaction price;

• Allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation in the customer contract(s); and

• Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Subscription services revenue

Subscription services primarily include customer access to one or more of the Company's cloud applications and associated customer support. Subscription services revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contractual subscription term, beginning on the date that the Company's subscription service is made available to the customer. The Company's subscription contracts do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the service and, as a result, are accounted for as service contracts. The Company's subscription contracts are generally two to five years in length, billed annually in advance, and non-cancelable.

Maintenance and support revenue

Maintenance and support revenue includes post-implementation customer support for on-premise licenses and the right to unspecified software updates and enhancements. The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance and support arrangements ratably over the period in which the services are provided. The Company's maintenance and support contracts are generally one to three years in length, billed annually in advance, and non-cancelable.

License revenue

Licenses to on-premise software provide the customer with a right to use, in the customer's environment, the Company's software as it exists when made available to the customer. License revenue from customer contracts with distinct on-premises licenses is recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. For customer contracts that contain license and professional services that are not considered distinct, both the license and professional services are determined to be a single performance obligation and the revenue is recognized over time based upon the Company's efforts to satisfy the performance obligation.

11

Professional services revenue

Professional services revenue primarily consists of fees for deployment and configuration services, as well as training services. Professional services revenues are generally recognized as the services are rendered for time and material contracts, or on a proportional performance basis for fixed fee contracts. The majority of the Company's professional services contracts are on a fixed fee basis. Training revenues are recognized as the services are rendered.

Significant judgment is required in determining whether professional services contained in a customer subscription services contract are capable of being distinct and are separately identifiable in the customer contract. Professional services determined to be distinct are accounted for as a separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized as the services are performed. If the professional services are not determined to be distinct, the professional services and the subscription services are accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized over the contractual term of the subscription beginning on the date that subscription services are made available to the customer.

Customer contracts with multiple performance obligations

A portion of the Company's customer contracts contain multiple performance obligations. Significant judgment is required in determining whether multiple performance obligations contained in a single customer contract are capable of being distinct and are separately identifiable. An obligation determined to be distinct is accounted for as a separate performance obligation and revenue for that separate performance obligation is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligation. If obligations are not determined to be distinct, those obligations are accounted for as a single, combined performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company includes any anticipated lease incentives in the determination of lease liability.

The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company gives consideration to its recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when determining its incremental borrowing rates.

The Company’s lease terms will include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

Internal-use software

Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the development stage are capitalized, stated at cost, and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Development stage costs generally include salaries and personnel costs and third-party contractor expenses associated with internal-use software configuration, coding, installation and testing. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company capitalized $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of internal-use software development costs related to cloud-based offerings, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company capitalized $1.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of internal-use software development costs related to cloud-based offerings. Capitalized internal-use software development costs related to cloud-based offerings are amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company amortized $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company amortized $2.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of capitalized internal-use software development costs. Capitalized software for internal use is included in property and equipment, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs, once it commences, is included in cost of subscription and cost of services revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

12

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review includes comparison of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets with the associated assets' carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds its expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company recorded no impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Noncash share-based compensation

The Company measures all share-based payments to its employees based on the grant date fair value of the awards and recognizes expenses in the Company's unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the periods during which the recipient is required to perform services (generally over the vesting period of the awards). To date, the Company has granted stock options, Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"), stock settled Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") and Market Stock Units ("MSUs"). RSUs include (i) time-based awards, (ii) performance-based awards in which the number of shares that vest are based upon achievement of certain internal performance metrics set by the Company, and (iii) market-based awards in which the number of shares that vest are based upon attainment of target average per share closing price over a requisite trading period. MSUs are performance-based awards in which the number of shares that vest are based upon the Company's relative stockholder return.

The following table presents the number of shares or units outstanding for each award type as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, (in thousands): 

Award type	September 30, 2019	December 31, 2018
Restricted stock units (time-based)	1,876	1,969
Restricted stock units (performance-based)	114	—
Restricted stock units (market-based)	—	215
Stock appreciation rights	165	287
Market stock units	267	419

Stock options, time-based RSUs and SARs vest ratably between one and 4 years. Performance-based RSUs vest on the third anniversary of the grant and the maximum number of shares issuable upon vesting is 200% of the initially granted shares based upon achievement of certain internal performance metrics set by the Company, as defined by each award's plan documents or individual award agreements. Market-based RSUs vest if the average trailing closing price of the Company's common stock meets certain minimum performance hurdles for at least 105 calendar days prior to September 9, 2020, with 25% vesting at $27, an additional 25% vesting at $33, and the remaining 50% vesting at $41. The actual number of MSUs that will be eligible to vest is based on the total stockholder return of the Company relative to the total stockholder return of the Russell 2000 Index ("Index") over their respective performance periods, as defined by each award's plan documents. The Company did not grant any stock options, SARs or MSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

The fair value of the time-based and performance-based RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company's stock on the date of grant.

The Company estimates the fair value and the derived service period of the market-based RSUs on the date of grant using a 'Monte Carlo' simulation model. The model requires the use of a number of assumptions including the expected volatility of the Company's stock, its risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company's expected volatility at the date of grant was based on the historical volatility of the Company over the performance period.

The fair value of the market-based RSUs is expensed over the derived service period for each separate vesting tranche. The derived service period for the vesting tranches of the market-based RSUs ranges between 1.01 and 1.98 years.

The Company estimates the fair value of MSUs on the date of grant using a 'Monte Carlo' simulation model. The determination of fair value of the MSUs is affected by the Company's stock price and a number of assumptions including the expected volatilities of the Company's stock and the Index, its risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company's

13

expected volatility at the date of grant was based on the historical volatilities of the Company and the Index over the performance period.

Earnings per share

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible notes using the if-converted method. Dilutive potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, shares of unvested restricted stock units and market stock units, and settlement of stock appreciation rights. When the Company incurs a net loss, the effect of the Company's outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, market stock units and convertible notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are identical.

Equity investment

Investments in equity securities of privately held companies without readily determinable fair value, where the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee, are recorded at cost, less impairment and adjusted for subsequent observable price changes obtained from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments issued by the same investee.  Adjustments resulting from impairment, fair value, or observable price changes are accounted for in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held $2.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of equity securities in a privately held company. This investment is accounted for at cost, less impairment and adjusted for subsequent observable price changes obtained from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments issued by the same investee. The Company estimates fair value of its equity investment considering available information such as pricing in recent rounds of financing, current cash positions, earnings and cash flow forecasts, recent operational performance and any other readily available market data, which represents level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as defined by Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure" ("ASC 820"). As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company determined there were no other-than-temporary impairments on its equity investment. 

Fair value measurement

The Company's financial assets that are included in cash and cash equivalents and that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of $289.8 million and $268.6 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and were invested in treasury money market funds. The fair value of the treasury money market funds is determined based on quoted market prices, which represents level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC 820.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are primarily comprised of trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, contract assets and unbilled receivables. The Company records trade accounts receivable for its unconditional rights to consideration arising from the Company's performance under contracts with customers. The Company's standard billing terms are that payment is due upon receipt of invoice, payable generally within thirty to sixty days. The carrying value of such receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts for specific trade receivable balances based on historical collection trends, the age of outstanding trade receivables, existing economic conditions, and any financial security associated with the receivables.

Contract assets represent conditional rights to consideration that have been recognized as revenue in advance of billing the customer. Unbilled receivables represent unconditional rights to consideration arising from contingent revenue that have been recognized as revenue in advance of billing the customer.

Deferred costs

Sales commissions earned by the Company's sales representatives are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a customer contract. Sales commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five to eight years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration its customer contracts, expected renewals of those customer contracts (as the Company currently does not pay an

14

incremental sales commission), the Company's technology and other factors. The Company also defers amounts earned by employees other than sales representatives who earn incentive payments under compensation plans that are also tied to the value of customer contracts acquired. Deferred costs were $20.6 million and $17.5 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred costs was $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $3.5 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Deferred implementation costs

The Company capitalizes certain contract fulfillment costs, including personnel and other costs (such as hosting, employee salaries, benefits and payroll taxes), that are associated with arrangements where professional services are not distinct from other undelivered obligations in its customer contracts. The Company analyzes implementation costs and capitalizes those costs that are directly related to customer contracts, that are expected to be recoverable, and that enhance the resources which will be used to satisfy the undelivered performance obligations in those contracts. Deferred implementation costs are amortized ratably over the remaining contract term once the revenue recognition criteria for the respective performance obligation has been met and revenue recognition commences. Deferred implementation costs were $4.8 million and $3.9 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred implementation costs was $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Deferred implementation costs are included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets, noncurrent in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred implementation costs is included in cost of subscription and cost of services revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of customer invoicing in advance of revenues being recognized. The Company generally invoices its customers annually in advance for subscription services and maintenance and support services. Deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized during the next twelve-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as long-term.

Credit facility

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $50.0 million secured Credit Agreement ("Revolver") with the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as agent for the lenders party thereto. The Company included $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Revolver in prepaid and other current assets and other assets, noncurrent in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an immaterial amount of amortization of debt issuance cost which is included in other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Income taxes

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, primarily related to foreign income taxes and withholding taxes. The effective tax rate was (0.6)% and (1.1)% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and (1.1)% and (0.3)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The income tax rates vary from the federal and state statutory rates primarily due to the valuation allowances on the Company’s deferred tax assets and foreign and state taxes not based on income. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarterly period. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized due to the valuation allowances on the Company’s deferred tax assets are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter depending on the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("Topic 842"), which requires the lessee to recognize most leases on the balance sheet thereby resulting in the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for those leases currently classified as operating leases. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from current guidance, however, Topic 842 provides improvements that are intended to align lessor accounting with the lessee model and with updated revenue recognition guidance. This standard took effect in the first quarter of 2019, including interim periods within that reporting

15

period. The Company adopted Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balances of operating ROU assets and lease liabilities, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historic accounting under the prior lease accounting rules in ASC 840, "Leases".

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new Topic 842 standard for all asset classes, which among other things, allowed the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet and instead would recognize those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The adoption of the standard had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as a result of the increase of $26.9 million in assets and liabilities from recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract" ("Subtopic 350-40"). The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain an internal-use software. The standard is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted Subtopic 350-40 prospectively effective January 1, 2019 and there was no impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of the adoption date. In addition, the new standard had no significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("Topic 350"), which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this standard, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; earlier adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of Topic 350 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

With the exception of the new standards discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company's Annual Report, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

3. Deferred Revenue and Performance Obligations

Deferred Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized approximately $45.1 million and $32.4 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized approximately $86.2 million and $64.4 million, respectively, in each case of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods and primarily related to subscription services, maintenance and support, and services.

Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2019, the Company expects to recognize approximately $365.2 million of revenue from remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately $176.6 million of these performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

4. Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue by Geography

The geographic information in the table below is presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The Company categorizes geographic revenues based on the location of the customer's headquarters. Because the Company's contracts are predominately denominated in U.S. dollars, it has limited exposure to foreign currency exchange risk as discussed under "Foreign Currency Exchange Risk" of Part I, Item 3 below.

	Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019				2018				2019				2018

5. Business Combination

On August 14, 2019, the Company acquired Travelaer SAS ("Travelaer"), a privately held company based near Nice, France, for a total cash consideration, net of cash acquired, of approximately $10.5 million. Travelaer is a digital innovator for the travel industry with a focus on improving the customer experience across all phases of travel, and brings an Internet booking engine and NDC (New Distribution Capability) platform to the Company's portfolio. The Company has included the financial results of Travelaer in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition, which have not been material to date. The transaction cost associated with the acquisition was $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination and all of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction have been recognized at their acquisition date fair values. The Company recorded approximately $2 million for developed technology and customer relationships with estimated useful lives of seven years and five years, respectively. The Company recorded approximately $11 million of goodwill which is primarily related to the assembled workforce and expanded market opportunities from integrating Travelaer's technology with the Company's solutions. The goodwill balance is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

6. Leases

The Company has operating leases for data centers, computer infrastructure, corporate offices and certain equipment. These leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 year to 14 years. Some of these leases include options to extend for up to 15 years, and some include options to terminate within 1 year.

In July 2019, the Company amended its existing agreement with a computing infrastructure vendor, the result of which was an increase in future consideration to be paid by the Company. The Company accounted for this change in consideration as a modification and remeasured the value of the right-of-use asset and related lease liability on such date, which resulted in an increase of $5.7 million to each respectively.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any finance leases.

The components of operating lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2019			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Operating lease cost	$	2,285		$	6,778

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has additional operating leases of approximately $1.5 million that have not yet commenced, as the lessor has not made the underlying assets available for use by the Company. These operating leases will commence in fiscal year 2020 with lease terms of 5 years to 14 years.

As of December 31, 2018, the future minimum lease commitments related to lease agreements under Topic 840, the predecessor of Topic 842, were as follows:

7. Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(17,347	)	$	(15,786	)	$	(51,781	)	$	(51,486	)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares (basic)	41,276			35,676			39,438			33,568
Dilutive effect of potential common shares	—			—			—			—
Weighted average shares (diluted)	41,276			35,676			39,438			33,568
Basic loss per share	$	(0.42	)	$	(0.44	)	$	(1.31	)	$	(1.53	)
Diluted loss per share	$	(0.42	)	$	(0.44	)	$	(1.31	)	$	(1.53	)

Dilutive potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of SARs, and the vesting of RSUs and MSUs. Potential common shares determined to be antidilutive and excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding were approximately 2.1 million and 2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 2.1 million and 2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Potential common shares related to the convertible notes determined to be antidilutive and excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 3.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

8. Noncash Share-based Compensation

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company granted 19,625 RSUs with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $69.13 per share. The Company granted no MSUs, options or SARs during this period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company granted 759,084 RSUs (time-based) with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $34.16 per share. The Company also granted 113,919 performance-based RSUs ("PRSUs") with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $33.05 to certain executive employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These PRSUs vest on January 15, 2022 and the actual number of PRSUs that will be eligible to vest is based upon achievement of certain internal performance metrics, as defined by each award's plan documents or individual award agreements. The maximum number of shares issuable upon vesting is 200% of the PRSUs initially granted. The Company did not grant any stock options, SARs or MSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the "2017 Stock Plan") was approved by stockholders in May 2017 and reserved an aggregate amount of 2,500,000 shares for issuance. In May 2019, the shareholders

19

approved an amendment to the 2017 Stock Plan which increased the aggregate amount of shares for issuance to a total of 4,550,000. As of September 30, 2019, 2,512,077 shares remain available for issuance under the 2017 Stock Plan.

At September 30, 2019, the Company had an estimated $46.7 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based compensation arrangements. These costs will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") provides for eligible employees to purchase shares on an after-tax basis in an amount between 1% and 10% of their annual pay: (i) on June 30 of each year at a 15% discount of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on January 1 or June 30, whichever is lower, and (ii) on December 31 of each year at a 15% discount of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on July 1 or December 31, whichever is lower. An employee may not purchase more than $5,000 in either of the six-month measurement periods described above or more than $10,000 annually. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 39,964 and 75,304 shares, respectively, under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2019, 140,251 shares remain authorized and available for issuance under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2019, the Company held approximately $0.8 million on behalf of employees for future purchases under the ESPP, and this amount was recorded in accrued payroll and other employee benefits in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

9. Convertible Senior Notes

The following is a summary of the Company's convertible senior notes as of September 30, 2019 (in thousands):

	Date of Issuance	Unpaid Principal Balance		Net Carrying Amount				Contractual Interest Rates
				Current		Noncurrent
2% Convertible Senior Note due in 2019 ("2019 Notes")	December 2014	$	21,606	$	21,415	—		2%
2% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2047 ("2047 Notes")	June 2017	$	24,075	$	20,928	—		2%
1% Convertible Notes due in 2024 ("2024 Notes")	May 2019	$	143,750	$	—	$	109,024	1%

In May 2019, the Company issued the 2024 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $143.8 million. The interest rate for the 2024 Notes is fixed at 1% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2019. The 2024 Notes mature on May 15, 2024, unless redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

Each $1,000 of principal of the 2024 Notes will initially be convertible into 15.1394 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $66.05 per share. The initial conversion price for the 2024 Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

On or after February 15, 2024 to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2024 Notes regardless of the contingent conversion conditions described herein. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, as described in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes.

Holders may convert their 2024 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2024 only under the following circumstances:

• during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period (the "Measurement Period") in which the trading price per 2024 Note for each day of that Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such day;

• during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2019, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for 20 or more trading days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; or

• upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

20

The 2019 Notes, the 2024 Notes and 2047 Notes (collectively, the "Notes") are general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, are effectively junior to any of the Company's secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables but excluding intercompany obligations owed to the Company or its subsidiaries).

In accounting for the transaction costs for each of the Notes issuance, the Company allocated the costs incurred to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds from issuance to the liability and equity components. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component, totaling $4.3 million for the 2019 Notes, $3.4 million for the 2024 Notes and $2.7 million for the 2047 Notes, are being amortized to expense over the expected life of each notes using the effective interest method. Issuance costs attributable to the equity component related to the conversion option, totaling $1.2 million for the 2019 Notes, $1.1 million for the 2024 Notes and $0.3 million for the 2047 Notes, were netted with the equity component in stockholders' equity.

In May 2019, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering of the 2024 Notes to exchange and retire $122.1 million in aggregate principal of the 2019 Notes for an aggregate cash consideration of $76.0 million and approximately 2.18 million shares of the Company's common stock (the "Exchange Transactions"). The Company recorded a $2.3 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the Exchange Transactions. The loss on extinguishment is included in the other (expense) income, net in the the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

In August 2019, the Company issued a notice of redemption to the holders of its outstanding 2047 Notes, pursuant to which it will redeem the outstanding 2047 Notes for cash at a price of 92.39% of the principal amount of the 2047 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (the “Redemption”). The Redemption will occur on October 30, 2019, unless earlier converted. Prior to the consummation of the Redemption, the holders of the 2047 Notes are entitled to convert such notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of 21.2861 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2047 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $46.98 per share. The Company intends to satisfy its conversion obligation with respect to 2047 Notes tendered by delivering shares of its common stock, together with cash in lieu of delivering any fractional shares of common stock (if applicable). As of September 30, 2019, the Company has converted $82.2 million of aggregate principal of the 2047 Notes and delivered approximately 1.7 million shares of its common stock upon conversion. The Company recorded a $2.7 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the Redemption. The loss on extinguishment is included in the other (expense) income, net in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

As of September 30, 2019, the 2019 and 2024 Notes are not yet convertible and the 2047 Notes are convertible pursuant to the Redemption notice issued by the Company. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining term of the Notes is approximately 2 months, 55 months and 1 month, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the principal amount of the Notes was $231.0 million and $251.5 million, respectively. The estimated fair value was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the Company's stock price and interest rates, which represents level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Notes consist of the following (in thousands):

	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Liability component:
Principal	$	189,431		$	250,000
Less: debt discount and issuance cost, net of amortization	(38,064		)	(24,810		)
Net carrying amount	$	151,367		$	225,190
Equity component(1)	$	70,443		$	37,560

(1) Recorded within additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2019, it included $28.7 million, $32.9 million and $8.8 million related to the 2019 Notes, the 2024 Notes and the 2047 Notes, respectively, which was net of $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $0.3 million issuance cost in equity, respectively.

The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the Notes (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Coupon interest	$	863	$	1,250	$	3,219	$	3,750
Amortization of debt issuance costs	286		357		992		1,058
Amortization of debt discount	2,568		2,659		8,136		7,863
Total	$	3,717	$	4,266	$	12,347	$	12,671

Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions

Concurrently with the offering of the 2019 Notes, the Company entered into separate convertible note hedge (the "Note Hedge") and warrant (the "Warrant") transactions. Taken together, the purchase of the Note Hedge and the sale of the Warrant are intended to offset any actual dilution from the conversion of the 2019 Notes and to effectively increase the overall conversion price of the 2019 Notes from $33.79 to $45.48 per share. The total cost of the Note Hedge transaction was $29.4 million. The Company received $17.1 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the Warrant. The Warrant is not part of the 2019 Notes or Note Hedge. Both the Note Hedge and Warrant have been accounted for as part of additional paid-in capital.

In May 2019, in connection with the Exchange Transactions, the Company entered into certain note hedge termination agreements (the “Note Hedge Termination Agreements”) and warrant termination agreements (the “Warrant Termination Agreements”). The Company received cash proceeds of $64.8 million related to the Note Hedge Termination Agreements and paid $45.2 million related to the Warrant Termination Agreements. The Note Hedge Termination Agreements terminated certain of the Note Hedges that were entered into by the Company in connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes. The Warrant Termination Agreements terminated certain of the Warrants that were entered into by the Company in connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes.

Capped Call Transactions

In May 2019, in connection with the offering of the 2024 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (collectively, the "Capped Call") with certain option counterparties. The Capped Call transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock initially underlying the 2024 Notes, at a strike price that corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2024 Notes, also subject to adjustment, and are exercisable upon conversion of the 2024 Notes. The Capped Call transactions are intended to reduce potential dilution of the Company's common stock and/or offset any cash payments the Company will be required to make in excess of the principal amount upon any conversion of 2024 Notes, and to effectively increase the overall conversion price of the 2024 Notes from $66.05 to $101.62 per share. As the Capped Call transactions meet certain accounting criteria, they are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of the Capped Call was $16.4 million and was recorded as part of additional paid-in capital.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company regularly becomes involved in contract and other negotiations and, in more limited circumstances, becomes involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable. The Company is not currently involved in any outstanding litigation that it believes, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Purchase commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various purchase commitments for goods and services.

In March 2019, the Company entered in a noncancelable agreement with a computing infrastructure vendor that amended the existing agreement dated June 2017. The amended agreement expires in March 2022. The purchase commitment as of September 30, 2019 was $67.0 million for the remaining period through the expiration of the agreement.

Q3 2019 Financial Overview

In the third quarter of 2019, subscription revenue increased 57% and 51%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same periods in 2018. Our continuing shift to a subscription-based revenue model also led to a growth of recurring revenue (which consists of subscription revenue and maintenance and support revenue) of 29% and 26%, respectively, as compared to the first three and nine months of 2018, and accounted for 81% and 79%, respectively, of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Cash used in operating activities was $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to changes in working capital partially offset by increased impact of adjustments to net loss primarily driven by loss on debt extinguishment.

Free cash flow is another key metric to assess the strength of our business. We define free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus capital expenditures (excluding expenditures for our new headquarters), purchases of other (non-acquisition-related) intangible assets and capitalized internal-use software development costs. We believe free cash flow may be useful to investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating the amount of cash generated by our business operations. Free cash flow during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $3.0 million, compared to free cash flow use of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Free cash flow used during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $11.8 million, compared to $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.9 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities primarily due to changes in working capital partially offset by increased impact of adjustments to net loss primarily driven by loss on debt extinguishment. The following is a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measure, net cash used in operating activities (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	4,037		$	(1,175	)	$	(7,607	)	$	(9,485	)
Purchase of property and equipment (excluding new headquarters)	(876		)	(219		)	(3,145		)	(1,406		)
Purchase of intangible assets	—			—			(50		)	—
Capitalized internal-use software development costs	(153		)	(1,202		)	(1,021		)	(3,686		)
Free Cash Flow	$	3,008		$	(2,596	)	$	(11,823	)	$	(14,577	)

23

Total deferred revenue was $127.9 million as of September 30, 2019, as compared to $117.2 million as of December 31, 2018, an increase of $10.8 million, or 9%, primarily due to an increase in subscription deferred revenue.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

Key factors and trends that have affected, and we believe will continue to affect, our operating results include:

• Buying Preferences Driving Technology Adoption. Corporate buyers are increasingly demanding the same type of digital buying experience that they enjoy as consumers. For example, buyers increasingly prefer to buy online when they have already decided what to buy, and often prefer not to interact with a sales representative as their primary source of research. In response, we believe that businesses are increasingly looking to modernize their sales process to compete in digital commerce by adopting technologies which provide fast, frictionless, and personalized buying experiences across sales channels. We believe we are uniquely positioned to help power these buying experiences with our AI-powered solutions that enable buyers to move fluidly across our customers’ direct sales, online, mobile and partner channels and have personalized experiences however they choose to buy. 

• Continued Investments. We are focused on creating awareness for our solutions, expanding our customer base and growing our recurring revenues. While we incurred losses in the nine months of 2019, we believe our market is large and underpenetrated and therefore we intend to continue investing to expand our ability to sell and renew our subscription offerings globally through investments in sales, marketing, customer success, cloud support, security, privacy, infrastructure and other long-term initiatives. We also plan to continue to invest in product development to enhance our existing technologies and develop new applications and technologies.

• Cloud Migrations. We expect that over time, additional sales of our cloud-based solutions will result in a decrease in our maintenance and support revenue, particularly as existing customers continue to migrate from our licensed solutions to our cloud solutions.

• Sales Mix Impacts Subscription Revenue Recognition Timing. The mix of subscription services and professional services can create revenue variability in given periods based on the nature and scope of services sold together. Professional services that are deemed to be distinct from the subscription services are accounted for as a separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized as the services are performed. If determined that the professional services are not considered distinct, the professional services and the subscription services are determined to be a single performance obligation and all revenue is recognized over the contractual term of the subscription beginning on the date that subscription services are made available to the customer, resulting in a deferral of revenue and revenue recognized over a shorter period of time, which would have a negative near-term financial impact.

Subscription revenue. Subscription revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 increased primarily due to an increase in the number and size of customer subscriptions as compared to the prior year. We continued to invest in customer programs and initiatives which helped keep our customer attrition rates fairly consistent as compared to the prior year. Our ability to maintain consistent customer attrition rates will directly impact our ability to continue to grow our subscription revenue.

25

Maintenance and support revenue. The decrease in maintenance and support revenue was principally a result of customer maintenance churn and migrating existing maintenance contracts to the cloud during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. We expect maintenance revenue to continue to decline over time as we sell fewer licenses and related maintenance and support, sell more subscription services and migrate existing maintenance customers to our cloud solutions.

License revenue. License revenue remained relatively unchanged during the three months ended September 30, 2019. License revenue increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to an increase in license revenue with existing customers recognized upon software delivery.

Services revenue. Services revenue increased primarily as a result of higher sales of professional services related to our subscription sales and add-on professional services revenue from existing customers during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same periods in 2018. Services revenue varies from period to period depending on different factors, including the level of professional services required to implement our solutions, the timing of services revenue recognition on certain subscription contracts and any additional professional services requested by our customers during a particular period.

Cost of subscription. The three and nine-month increase was primarily attributable to increases in infrastructure costs to support our current subscription customer base, increases in personnel cost primarily driven by higher headcount and increased amortization expense associated with our internal-use software. Our subscription gross profit percentage was 71% and 62%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. Our subscription gross profit percentage was 70% and 61%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The three and nine-month increase in gross profit percentage was primarily attributable to a 57% and 51%, respectively, increase in subscription revenue combined with a smaller increase in cost of subscription driven by efficiencies we are achieving in our cloud infrastructure.

Cost of maintenance and support. The three and nine-month decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in personnel costs. Maintenance and support gross profit percentage for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 82%.

Cost of license. Cost of license consists of third-party fees for licensed software and remained relatively consistent year-over-year. License gross profit percentages for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, were 95% and 94%, respectively. License gross profit percentages for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, were 96% and 93%, respectively.

Cost of services. The three and nine-month increase was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel costs, primarily driven by higher headcount and third party system integrators to support our current customer implementations, related travel expenses and other facility and overhead expenses. Services gross profit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, was (14)% and 4%, respectively. Services gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, was 9% and 12%, respectively. The decrease in services gross profit percentages was primarily attributed to an increase in third party system integrators to support our current customer implementations. Services gross profit percentages vary period to period depending on different factors, including the level of professional services required to implement our solutions, our effective man-day rates and the utilization of our professional services personnel. We plan on increasing headcount in our professional services organization to support our current and anticipated growth in the number of customers purchasing our subscription services.

26

Gross profit. The increase in overall gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to an increase in total revenue of 31% and 28%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018 mainly due to an increase in our subscription revenue.

Selling and marketing expenses. The three and nine-month increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $4.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, in personnel cost primarily driven by higher headcount as we continue to focus on adding new customers and increasing penetration within our existing customer base. In addition, there was an increase of $0.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in expenses for sales and marketing events and sales related travel.

General and administrative expenses. The three and nine-month increase was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel cost of $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and an increase of $0.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in professional fees and facility expenses.

Research and development expenses. The three and nine-month increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.7 million and $6.7 million, respectively, in personnel cost primarily driven by higher headcount. The remaining increase of $0.4 million and $1.9 million was attributable to increases in facility and other overhead expenses.

Acquisition-related expenses. Acquisition-related expenses were $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and consisted primarily of integration costs and professional fees for our acquisition of Travelaer. Acquisition-related expenses were $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and consisted primarily of integration costs, retention bonuses and professional fees related to our acquisition of PROS Travel Commerce, Inc. (formerly Vayant Travel Technologies, Inc.).

Convertible debt interest and amortization. The convertible debt expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 related to coupon interest and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs attributable to our Notes.

Other (expense) income, net. The decrease in other (expense) income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily related to a $5.0 million loss on debt extinguishment related to our 2019 and 2047 Notes recognized during the second and third quarter of 2019. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest income.

Income tax provision. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 included both foreign income and withholding taxes. No tax benefit was recognized on jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rate was (0.6)% and (1.1)% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rate was (1.1)% and (0.3)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The income tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets and foreign and state taxes not based on income. While our expected tax rate would be 0% due to the full valuation on the deferred tax assets, the (0.6)% and (1.1)% tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the (1.1)% and (0.3)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is due to foreign and state taxes not based on pre-tax income.

Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets are excluded from the estimated annual federal effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter depending on the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2019, we had $319.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $174.5 million of working capital as compared to $295.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $71.4 million of working capital at December 31, 2018.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated from operations and potential borrowings under our Revolver. We issued the 2019 Notes in December 2014, the 2047 Notes in June 2017, the Secondary Offering in August 2018 and the 2024 Notes in May 2019 to supplement our overall liquidity position. Our material drivers or variants of operating cash flow are net income (loss), noncash expenses (principally share-based compensation, intangible amortization and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs) and the timing of periodic invoicing and cash collections related to licenses, subscriptions and support for our software and related services. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors and the payments of our other liabilities. We generally pay our vendors in accordance with the invoice terms and conditions.

We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents, including funds available under our Revolver and our current estimates of future operating cash flows, will provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our operational requirements, anticipated capital expenditures and coupon payments for our Notes for the next twelve months. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the operations of our existing business, potential growth of our subscription services, future acquisitions we might undertake, and expansion into complementary businesses. If such need arises, we may raise additional funds through equity or debt financings.

The following table presents key components of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

 

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2019			2018
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(7,607	)	$	(9,485	)
Net cash used in investing activities	(15,121		)	(5,092		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	46,806			135,609
Cash and cash equivalents (beginning of period)	295,476			160,505
Cash and cash equivalents (end of period)	$	319,162		$	281,889

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $7.6 million. The $1.9 million decrease in cash used as compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to changes in working capital partially offset by increased impact of adjustments to net loss primarily driven by loss on debt extinguishment.

28

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $15.1 million, which was primarily related to the consideration paid for the acquisition of Travelaer of $10.5 million, capital expenditures of $3.4 million, $1.0 million related to capitalized internal-use software development costs on our subscription service solutions and an investment in equity securities of $0.2 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $46.8 million, which was attributable to proceeds from the issuance of 2024 Notes of $140.2 million, proceeds from bond hedge termination of $64.8 million and proceeds from employee stock plans of $2.0 million, partially offset by a cash convertible debt settlement payment of $76.0 million, $45.2 million paid for termination of warrant, $21.6 million paid for tax withholdings on vesting of employee share-based awards, purchase of capped call of $16.4 million, and payment for convertible debt issuance cost of $0.9 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material. We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as variable interest entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Other than changes described in Note 10 above, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in our Annual Report.

Credit facility

There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver as of September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, we had $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Revolver included in prepaids and other current assets and other long-term assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded an immaterial amount of amortization of debt issuance cost which is included in other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See "Recently adopted accounting pronouncements" in Note 2 above for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The complexity and judgment required in our estimation process, as well as issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations, affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue. Estimates are also used for, but not limited to, receivables, allowance for doubtful accounts, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, useful lives of assets, depreciation, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation, valuation of stock options, other current liabilities and accrued liabilities. Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates. Our critical accounting policies related to the estimates and judgments are discussed in our Annual Report under management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, except for the leases policy which has been updated in result of the adoption of the new lease standard under Topic 842 and is included herein.

29

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, current operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. We include any anticipated lease incentives in the determination of lease liability.

We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We give consideration to our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

Our lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Although our contracts are predominately denominated in U.S. dollars, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk because we also have some contracts denominated in foreign currencies. The effect of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in exchange rates on our foreign denominated receivables as of September 30, 2019 would result in a loss of approximately $0.3 million. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk due to our operating subsidiaries in France, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Australia, Bulgaria and United Arab Emirates. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro, which is our single most significant foreign currency exposure, would have decreased revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 by approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. However, due to the relatively low volume of payments made and received through our foreign subsidiaries, we do not believe that we have significant exposure to foreign currency exchange risks. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could harm our financial results in the future.

We currently do not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign currency exchange risks. We continue to review this matter and may consider hedging certain foreign exchange risks through the use of currency futures or options in future years.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related to the variable interest rate on borrowings under the Revolver. As of September 30, 2019, we had no borrowings under the Revolver.

As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding principal amounts of $21.6 million, $143.8 million and $24.1 million respectively, of the 2019 Notes, the 2024 Notes and the 2047 Notes which are fixed rate instruments. Therefore, our results of operations are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The fair value of the Notes may change when the market price of our stock fluctuates.

We believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value as a result of changes in interest rates due to the short term nature of our cash equivalents.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2019. Based on our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In August 2019, we acquired Travelaer, in an all-cash transaction. See Note 5, "Business Combinations" to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of this acquisition and related financial data. Management has considered this acquisition immaterial to the results of operations, cash flows and financial position from the date of the acquisition through September 30, 2019. In accordance with SEC guidance, management plans to exclude Travelaer from management’s assessment of, and report on, internal controls over financial reporting from the date of the acquisition through December 31, 2019. We are in the process of reviewing the operations of Travelaer and evaluating the impact of the acquisition on our internal controls over financial reporting. Excluding this acquisition, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our lease contracts and properly assessed the impact of our adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of Topic 842.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report with the exception of the following revised and updated risk factor.

We incurred indebtedness by issuing convertible notes, and our debt repayment obligations may adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows from operations in the future.

In May 2019, we issued $143.8 million principal amount of 1.0% convertible senior notes (“2024 Notes”) due May 15, 2024, unless earlier redeemed, purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. As of September 30, 2019, the entire $143.8 million of aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes are outstanding.

In June 2017, we issued $106.3 million principal amount of 2.0% convertible senior notes ("2047 Notes") due June 1, 2047, unless earlier redeemed, purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. In 2019, we issued a notice of redemption and subsequently converted and extinguished a portion of the 2047 Notes. As of September 30, 2019, $24.1 million of aggregate principal amount of 2047 Notes are outstanding.

In December 2014, we issued $143.8 million principal amount of 2.0% convertible senior notes ("2019 Notes") due December 1, 2019, unless earlier purchased or converted. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. We retired a portion of the 2019 Notes in 2019. As of September 30, 2019, $21.6 million of aggregate principal amount of 2019 Notes are outstanding.

Our indebtedness could have important consequences because it may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes, and a portion of our cash flows from operations may have to be dedicated to repaying the principal beginning in 2019. Our ability to meet our debt obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory and other factors. We cannot control many of these factors. Our future operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to repay our debt. If we fail to make a payment on our debt, we could be in default on such debt. If we are at any time unable to pay our indebtedness when due, we may be required to renegotiate the terms of the indebtedness, seek to refinance all or a portion of the indebtedness or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that, in the future, we will be able to successfully renegotiate such terms, that any such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We have an ongoing authorization from our board of directors to repurchase up to $15.0 million in shares of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. As of September 30, 2019, $10.0 million remained available for repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization. We did not make any purchases of our common stock under this program for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
