This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements contained in this Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, market growth, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “may,” “will,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continues,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” “could,” “would,” “projects,” “plans,” “targets,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about our expectations regarding:
trends in revenue, cost of revenue, and gross margin;
our investments in our platform and the cost of third-party hosting fees;
trends in operating expenses, including research and development expense, sales and marketing expense, and general and administrative expense, and expectations regarding these expenses as a percentage of revenue;
our existing cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investment balances, funds available under our loan and security agreement, and cash provided by subscriptions to our platform and related professional services being sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months; and
other statements regarding our future operations, financial condition, and prospects and business strategies.
Such forward-looking statements are based on our expectations as of the date of this filing and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to, risks detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Form 10-Q. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Form 10-Q and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. In addition, the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are made as of the date of this filing, and we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim any duty, to update such statements for any reason after the date of this Form 10-Q or to conform statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

ZUORA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Zuora, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2006 and began operations in 2007. Zuora’s fiscal year ends on January 31. Zuora is headquartered in San Mateo, California.
The Company provides cloud-based software on a subscription basis that enables any company in any industry to successfully launch, manage, and transform into a subscription business. Architected specifically for dynamic, recurring subscription business models, Zuora functions as an intelligent hub that automates and orchestrates the entire subscription order-to-cash process. The Company’s cloud-based software solution is the new system of record for subscription businesses.
References to Zuora, “Company”, “our”, or “we” in these notes refer to Zuora, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Initial Public Offering
In April 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering (IPO), in which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 12.7 million shares of its newly authorized Class A common stock at a price to the public of $14.00 per share. The shares sold included 1.7 million shares pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of an option to purchase additional shares at a price of $14.00 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of $162.2 million from the IPO after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and payments of offering costs as of April 30, 2018.
Prior to the completion of the IPO, all shares of common stock then outstanding were reclassified as Class B common stock, and all shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding immediately prior to the IPO were converted into 62.0 million shares of Class B common stock on a one-to-one basis.
As of October 31, 201872.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and 35.8 million shares of Class B common stock were outstanding.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2018 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by U.S. GAAP on an annual reporting basis. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the balance sheet, statements of comprehensive loss and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2019 or any future period.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s final prospectus dated April 11, 2018 (Prospectus) filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

5



Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates and assumptions are related to revenue recognition with respect to the determination of the relative selling prices for the Company’s services; determination of the fair value of the Company’s common stock for valuation of the Company’s stock-based awards issued prior to the completion of the IPO; valuation of the Company’s stock-based awards; estimates of allowance for doubtful accounts; estimates of the fair value of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets; and the valuation of deferred income tax assets and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in “Index to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” in the Prospectus. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended October 31, 2018, except as noted below.
Short-term Investments
The Company typically invests in high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers. The Company classifies its short-term investments as available-for-sale. In general, these investments are free of trading restrictions. The Company carries these investments at fair value, based on quoted market prices or other readily available market information. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses are recognized when realized in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. When the Company has determined that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount of the decline that is related to a credit loss is recognized in income. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.
The Company reviews its debt securities classified as short-term investments on a regular basis to evaluate whether or not any security has experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. The Company considers factors such as the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and our intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. If the Company believes that an other-than-temporary decline exists in one of these securities, it will write down these investments to fair value. The portion of the write-down related to credit loss would be recorded to interest and other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Any portion not related to credit loss would be recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity in our consolidated balance sheets.
The Company may sell its short-term investments at any time, without significant penalty, for use in current operations or for other purposes, even if they have not yet reached maturity. As a result, the Company has classified its investments, including any securities with maturities beyond 12 months, as current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2018. Securities with original or remaining maturities of three months or less on the purchase date are considered to be cash equivalents and are reflected in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2018.  
Stock-Based Compensation
All stock-based compensation to employees, including the purchase rights issued under the Company’s 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), is based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant. This fair value is recognized as an expense following the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period of the entire award for stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted stock; and over the offering period for the purchase rights issued under the ESPP.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of its stock options and the purchase rights issued under the ESPP. The fair value of the RSUs and restricted stock is determined using the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant.

6



Prior to the IPO, the fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined by the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock at the time of grant. After the IPO, the Company uses the closing market price of its Class A common stock on the date of grant for the fair value.
Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Not Yet Adopted
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) allows the Company, as an “emerging growth company,” to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and has modified the standard thereafter. These standards replace existing revenue recognition rules with a comprehensive revenue measurement and recognition standard and expanded disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-09, as amended, became effective for public companies for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within that year. Private companies have an additional year to adopt the standard. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, under which ASU 2014-09 would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, under which the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company plans to adopt the new revenue standard when it becomes effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 (i.e., effective February 1, 2019). The Company is currently in the process of determining what method of adoption it plans to use. The Company is currently assessing the effect the guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 (Subtopic 825-10), Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The accounting for other financial instruments, such as loans, investments in debt securities, and financial liabilities is largely unchanged. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2016-01 and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842)—Leases, which supersedes the guidance in topic ASC 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-10 clarifies certain areas within ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 allows entities an additional transition method to the existing requirements whereby an entity could adopt the provisions of ASU 2016-02 by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without adjustment to the financial statements for periods prior to adoption. ASU 2018-11 also allows a practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are present. ASU 2016-02, ASU2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 (collectively, Topic 842) will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted Topic 842 and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under existing U.S. GAAP, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances are recorded as a component of income tax expense in the period in which the law was enacted. When deferred tax balances related to items originally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are adjusted, certain tax effects become stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) for stranded income tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts

7



and Jobs Act (the Tax Act). The amendments in this ASU also require certain disclosures about stranded income tax effects. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption in any period is permitted. The Company’s provisional adjustments recorded in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 to account for the impact of the Tax Act did not result in stranded tax effects. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2018-02 and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance expands the scope of the topic to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services. Upon adoption, the fair value of awards granted to non-employees will be determined as of the grant date, which will be recognized over the service period. Previous guidance required the awards to be remeasured at fair value periodically when determining the related expense. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2018-07 and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The standard no longer requires disclosure of the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted-average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2018-13 and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
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. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet adopted ASU 2018-15 and does not expect the adoption to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The final rule is effective November 5, 2018. We expect to present this analysis beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ending April 30, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Adopted
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09 (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payments Accounting, effective February 1, 2018. The Company elected to continue to estimate its forfeiture rate. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on the statement of cash flows.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 (Topic 230), Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash, which amends the guidance in ASC 230 Statement of Cash Flows and requires that entities show the changes in total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in their statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18 and began presenting its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash together in its consolidated statements of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends the guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-01 and the adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements as no business combinations have occurred since adoption.

8



In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test that requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award are subject to the guidance on modification accounting. Entities would apply the modification accounting guidance unless the value, vesting requirements, and classification of a share-based payment award are the same immediately before and after a change to the terms or conditions of the award. On February 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-09 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any unrealized losses represent other-than-temporary impairments based on its evaluation of available evidence. There were no realized gains or losses from sales of marketable securities during the nine months ended October 31, 2018. All securities had stated effective maturities of one year or less. The Company had no investments as of January 31, 2018.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level input
  
Input definition
 
 
Level 1
  
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
 
 
Level 2
  
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date
 
 
Level 3
  
Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date
In general, and where applicable, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are not available to determine fair value, then the Company uses quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly.

As of January 31, 2018, the Company held cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $35.1 million in money market funds measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs. The Company did not have any other investments as of January 31, 2018.
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash held in bank accounts, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and capital lease obligations, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturity. The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value due to its floating interest rate.

Note 10. Debt
In June 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank that includes a revolving and term loan facility. In October 2018, the agreement was amended (Debt Agreement) to, among other things, increase the revolving loan availability to $30.0 million (from $10 million), lower the borrowing costs under both the revolving and term loans to the prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ Prime Rate) minus 1.00%, extend the interest-only repayment period under the term loan until June 2019, after which time principal and interest will be due in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments, extend the revolving loan maturity date until October 2021, and extend the latest term loan maturity date until June 2022. The Company accounted for this amendment as a debt modification and will recognize the unamortized fees related to the Debt Agreement over the duration of the term loan.
Revolving Loan. The Debt Agreement allows the Company to borrow up to $30.0 million until June 2019 in revolving loans. Advances drawn down under the revolving loan incur interest at the WSJ Prime Rate minus 1.00% which is due monthly on any amounts drawn down, with the principal due at maturity. Any outstanding amounts must be fully repaid on or before October 2021. The Company is required to pay an annual fee of $20,000 on this revolving loan, regardless of any amounts drawn down. As of October 31, 2018, the Company had not drawn down any amounts under this revolving loan.
Term Loan. The Debt Agreement allows the Company to borrow $15.0 million in term loans, which was drawn down in June 2017 to partially finance the acquisition of Leeyo Software, Inc. (Leeyo). Any outstanding amounts under the term loan accrue interest at the WSJ Prime rate minus 1.00%, which is due monthly through June 2019. The interest rate was 4.25% as of October 31, 2018. Beginning with the term loan payment due on July 1, 2019, the Company is required to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest over 36 months until the term loan is repaid. The Company may prepay all outstanding principal and accrued interest at any time without penalty. The Company will incur a fee of 1.5% of the original principal amount of the term loan, or $225,000, upon the earlier to occur of prepayment or the termination of the facility. As of October 31, 2018, the Company had $13.4 million outstanding under the term loan.

12



Both the revolving loan and the term loan are subject to a certain financial covenant to maintain an adjusted quick ratio of no less than 1.10:1.00. As of October 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with this financial covenant. The Debt Agreement also imposes certain limitations with respect to lines of business, mergers, investments and acquisitions, additional indebtedness, distributions, guarantees, liens, and encumbrances. The Company was also in compliance with these restrictions as of October 31, 2018.
The Company incurred transaction costs and fees payable to the lender related to the issuance of the term loan. The amount, net of amortization, is immaterial and is presented as a reduction to the carrying amount of the term loan and is presented under debt in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s indebtedness under the Debt Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of its assets, including its intellectual property.
Note 11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a tax provision of $0.2 million and nil on pretax losses of $17.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were (1.3)% and (0.3)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of providing no benefit on pretax losses incurred in the United States. For the three months ended October 31, 2018, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as it was more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a tax provision of $0.6 million and $0.4 million on pretax losses of $56.3 million and $32.9 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were (1.1)% and (1.2)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of providing no benefit on pretax losses incurred in the United States. For the nine months ended October 31, 2018, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as it was more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and changes to how the United States imposes income tax on multinational corporations.

In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (SAB 118), which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. In fiscal 2018, the Company calculated an estimate of the expected decrease on its existing deferred tax balances due to the decrease in the tax rate. The Company determined the impact to be approximately a $30.0 million decrease in its deferred tax assets. Because the Company provides a valuation allowance against its tax assets, it consequently adjusted the valuation allowance to compensate for this reduction in the provision. As of January 31, 2018, the Company had not completed its accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Act; however, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on its existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. For the nine months ended October 31, 2018, the Company has not made a material adjustment to the provisional amount. The Company will continue to assess its provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued, but it does not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary. Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the measurement period guidance outlined in SAB 118.
Note 12. Stockholders’ Equity
Convertible Preferred Stock
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, all shares of convertible preferred stock then outstanding were converted into 62.0 million shares of Class B common stock on a one-to-one basis. As of October 31, 2018, there were no shares of convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
Prior to the IPO, all shares of common stock then outstanding were reclassified into Class B common stock. Shares offered and sold in the IPO consisted of newly authorized shares of Class A common stock.

13



As of October 31, 2018, the Company had authorized 500 million shares of Class A common stock and 500 million shares of Class B common stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of October 31, 201872.6 million shares of Class A common stock and 35.8 million shares of Class B common stock were issued and outstanding.
Holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share and ten votes per share, respectively, and the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except for voting and conversion rights.

Note 13. Employee Stock Plans
Equity Incentive Plans
In March 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted and its stockholders approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (2018 Plan). The 2018 Plan authorizes the award of stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, performance awards, and stock bonuses. As of October 31, 2018, approximately 9.1 million shares of Class A common stock were reserved and available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. In addition, as of October 31, 2018, 16.0 million stock options and RSUs exercisable or settleable for Class B common stock were outstanding in the aggregate under the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (2006 Plan) and 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (2015 Plan), which plans were terminated in May 2015 and April 2018, respectively. The 2006 Plan and 2015 Plan continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder.

Options Subject to Early Exercise
At the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, certain options may be exercisable immediately at the date of grant but are subject to a repurchase right, under which the Company may buy back any unvested shares at the lower of their original exercise price or then current fair market value in the event of an employee’s termination prior to vesting. The consideration received for an exercise of an unvested option is considered to be a deposit of the exercise price and the related dollar amount is recorded as a liability. The liabilities are reclassified into equity as the awards vest. As of October 31, 2018 and January 31, 2018, the Company had $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities, related to early exercises of options to acquire 0.2 million and 0.2 million shares of common stock, respectively.

2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In March 2018, the Company adopted the ESPP, which became effective on the date of the Prospectus. The ESPP initially reserved and authorized the issuance of up to a total of 2.4 million shares of Class A common stock to participating employees. The initial offering period began April 11, 2018 and will end on June 14, 2020 with purchase dates of December 14, 2018, June 14, 2019, December 14, 2019 and June 14, 2020. Except for the initial offering period, the ESPP provides for 24-month offering periods beginning June 15 and December 15 of each year, and each offering period will consist of four six-month purchase periods. On each purchase date, ESPP participants will purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the offering date or (2) the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the purchase date.

As of October 31, 2018, there was approximately $4.9 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP that is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the initial offering period.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Leases
The Company periodically leases facilities and equipment under noncancelable capital and operating leases. The terms of the lease agreements may provide for rental payments on a graduated basis, and accordingly, the Company recognizes related rent expense on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid.
In October 2018, the Company signed an agreement to purchase data center equipment and related software previously held under several capital leases. The Company paid $2.3 million in cash in November 2018 related to this purchase. At October 31, 2018, this purchase commitment was recorded in lease obligations, current portion in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. In November 2018, the Company canceled letters of credit for $4.3 million that it had previously issued in connection with these leases.
As of October 31, 2018, the Company had operating leases for its offices in the United States and other locations around the world. The Company also had operating leases for facilities related to its U.S. data centers in Las Vegas, Nevada and Santa Clara, California. The initial lease term for these facilities ranged from three to seven years and includes approximately 155,000 square feet of space. In connection with these leased facilities, the Company had outstanding bank issued irrevocable letters of credit on the leases of $2.1 million as of October 31, 2018, classified as restricted cash on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Certain facility lease agreements contain allowances, rent holidays, and escalation provisions. For these leases, the Company recognizes the related rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period of the facility and records the difference between amounts charged to operations and amounts paid as deferred rent. Deferred rent was $2.4 million and $1.0

16



million as of October 31, 2018 and January 31, 2018, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rent expense was $2.8 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2018, respectively, and $1.4 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2017, respectively.

(b) Legal Matters
The Company may be subject to legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of its business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
(c) Other Contractual Obligations
As of October 31, 2018, the Company had a contractual obligation to purchase $11.3 million in web hosting services from one of its vendors by September 30, 2019.
Note 15. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities.
Class A and Class B common stock are the only outstanding equity in the Company. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Shares of Class B common stock may be converted into Class A common stock at any time at the option of the stockholder, and are automatically converted into Class A common stock upon sale or transfer, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of these potential common shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 16. Related Party Transactions
Certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors serve or are closely affiliated with people who serve on the board of directors of companies that are customers or vendors of the Company. Certain of the Company’s executive officers also serve on the board of directors of companies that are customers or vendors of the Company. The Company had no related party transactions during the three months ended October 31, 2018.
In November 2017 and April 2018, the Company paid an aggregate $5.6 million of taxes owed in connection with restricted stock granted to two employees in exchange for full-recourse promissory notes, which notes were secured by 4.6 million shares of common stock. The notes accrued interest at rates ranging from 1.85% to 2.72% and were payable in full upon the earlier of: (i) a change in control or (ii) January 12, 2019. Consistent with ASC 505-10-45, the notes receivable balance is presented as a deduction from stockholders’ equity. In August 2018, the notes were fully repaid.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our Prospectus. As discussed in the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” under Part II, Item 1A in this Form 10-Q and in our Prospectus. Our fiscal year ends January 31.
Overview
We provide cloud-based software on a subscription basis that enables any company in any industry to successfully launch, manage, and transform into a subscription business. Architected specifically for dynamic, recurring subscription business models, our solution functions as an intelligent subscription management hub that automates and orchestrates the subscription order-to-cash process, including quoting, billing, collections, analytics, and revenue recognition. We offer businesses the ability to meet the constantly-evolving needs of their subscribers, capitalize on new revenue opportunities, and accelerate business growth.
An increasing number of industries are undergoing a transformation in business models as part of a broader shift to the Subscription Economy. Success in the Subscription Economy requires companies with legacy product-centric businesses to undertake a large-scale systemic shift in how they operate, reorienting themselves around their subscribers.
This new business model is inherently dynamic, with multiple interactions and constantly-changing relationships and events. The capabilities to launch, price, and bill for products, facilitate and record cash receipts, process and recognize revenue, and produce the data required to close their books and drive key decisions are mission critical and particularly complex for companies with subscription business models. As a result, as companies launch or grow a subscription business, they often conclude that traditional ERP-centric systems are inadequate.
We began operations in 2007 with a vision of providing the cloud-based software necessary to bring about, and enable companies to succeed in, the Subscription Economy. Since our inception, we have continued to innovate and have made significant investments to deliver a comprehensive solution for a broad array of use cases in the Subscription Economy. In April 2018, we completed our initial public offering, in which we sold approximately 12.7 million shares of our Class A common stock, including shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The shares were sold at a price to the public of $14.00 per share for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $162.2 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions and payments of offering costs as of April 30, 2018.
We generated subscription revenue of $44.5 million and total revenue of $61.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018, increases of 43% and 33% year-over-year, respectively. For the nine months ended October 31, 2018, we generated subscription revenue of $122.1 million and total revenue of $171.1 million, increases of 42% and 45% year over year, respectively. We have continued to make significant expenditures and investments, including personnel-related costs, infrastructure, operations and innovation, and have incurred net losses in each period since our inception, including net losses of $17.9 million and $10.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $56.9 million and $33.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Key Operational and Financial Metrics
We monitor the following key operational and financial metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions:
Customers with Annual Contract Value (ACV) Equal to or Greater than $100,000
We believe our ability to enter into larger contracts is indicative of broader adoption of our solution by larger organizations. It also reflects our ability to expand our revenue footprint within our current customer base. We define ACV as the subscription revenue we would contractually expect to recognize from that customer over the next twelve months, assuming no increases or reductions in their subscriptions. We define the number of customers at the end of any particular period as the number of parties or organizations that have entered into a distinct subscription contract with us for which the term has not ended. Each party with which we have entered into a distinct subscription contract is considered a unique customer, and in some cases, there may be more than one customer within a single organization. We have increased the number of customers with ACV equal to or greater than $100,000 to 504 as of October 31, 2018, as compared to 389 customers as of October 31, 2017.
Dollar-Based Retention Rate
We believe our dollar-based retention rate is a key measure of our ability to retain and expand revenue from our customer base over time. We calculate our dollar-based retention rate as of a period end by starting with the sum of the ACV from all customers as of twelve months prior to such period end, or prior period ACV. We then calculate the sum of the ACV from these same customers as of the current period end, or current period ACV. Current period ACV includes any upsells and also reflects contraction or attrition over the trailing twelve months, but excludes revenue from new customers added in the current period. We then divide the current period ACV by the prior period ACV to arrive at our dollar-based retention rate. Our dollar-based retention rate increased to 115% as of October 31, 2018, as compared to 112% as of July 31, 2018.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Subscription revenue. Subscription revenue consists of fees for access to, and use of, our products, as well as customer support. We generate subscription fees pursuant to non-cancelable subscription agreements with terms that typically range from one to three years. Subscription revenue is primarily based on fees to access our services platform over the subscription term. We typically invoice customers in advance in either annual or quarterly installments. Customers can also elect to purchase additional volume blocks or products during the term of the contract. We typically recognize subscription revenue ratably over the term of the subscription period, beginning on the date that access to our platform is provided, which is generally on or about the date the subscription agreement is signed.
Professional services revenue. Professional services revenue consists of fees for services related to helping our customers deploy, configure, and optimize the use of our solutions. These services include system integration, data migration, process enhancement, and training. Professional services projects generally take three to twelve months to complete. Once the contract is signed, we generally invoice for professional services on a time and materials basis, although we occasionally engage in fixed-price service engagements and invoice for those based upon agreed milestone payments. We recognize revenue as services are performed for time and materials engagements and on a proportional performance method as the services are performed for fixed fee engagements.
Impact of ASC 606 Adoption. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, and has modified the standard thereafter. This standard replaces existing revenue recognition rules with a comprehensive revenue measurement and recognition standard and expanded disclosure requirements. This new revenue standard became effective for public companies for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that year. Private companies have an additional year to adopt the standard. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, under which ASC 606 would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, under which the cumulative effect of applying ASC 606 would be recognized at the date of initial application. We plan to adopt ASC 606 when it becomes effective for us for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020 (i.e., effective February 1, 2019). We are currently in the process of determining what method of adoption we plan to use and we are assessing the effect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

20



Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of customer billings in advance of revenue being recognized from our subscription and support services and professional services arrangements. We primarily invoice our customers for subscription services arrangements annually or quarterly in advance. Amounts anticipated to be recognized within one year of the balance sheet date are recorded as deferred revenue, current portion, and the remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheets.
Overhead Allocation and Employee Compensation Costs
We allocate shared costs, such as facilities costs (including rent, utilities, and depreciation on capital expenditures related to facilities shared by multiple departments), information technology costs, and certain administrative personnel costs to all departments based on headcount and location. As such, allocated shared costs are reflected in each cost of revenue and operating expenses category. Employee compensation costs consist of salaries, bonuses, commissions, benefits, and stock-based compensation.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Cost of subscription revenue. Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of costs related to hosting our platform and providing customer support. These costs include data center costs and third-party hosting fees, employee compensation costs associated with our cloud-based infrastructure and our customer support organizations, amortization expense associated with capitalized internal-use software and purchased technology, allocated overhead, software and maintenance costs, and outside services associated with the delivery of our subscription services. We intend to continue to invest in our platform infrastructure, including third-party hosting capacity, and support organizations. However, the level and timing of investment in these areas could fluctuate and affect our cost of subscription revenue in the future.
Cost of professional services revenue. Cost of professional services revenue consists primarily of costs related to the deployment of our platform. These costs include employee compensation costs for our professional services team, allocated overhead, travel costs, and costs of outside services associated with supplementing our internal staff. Cost of providing professional services, excluding stock-based compensation, has historically been similar to the associated professional services revenue, and we expect this to continue for the foreseeable future.
Gross profit and gross margin. Our gross profit and gross margin may fluctuate from period to period as our revenue fluctuates, and as a result of the timing and amount of investments to expand hosting capacity, including through third party cloud providers, our continued efforts to build platform support and professional services teams, as well as the amortization expense associated with capitalized internal-use software and acquired technology.
Operating Expenses
Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of employee compensation costs, allocated overhead, and travel costs. We capitalize research and development costs associated with the development of internal-use software and we amortize these costs over a period of approximately two to three years into cost of subscription revenue. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We believe that continued investment in our platform is important for our growth, and as such, expect our research and development expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future but may increase or decrease as a percentage of revenue.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of employee compensation costs, including commissions for our sales personnel, allocated overhead, costs of general marketing and promotional activities, and travel costs. We currently expense sales commissions in the period of sale. Once we adopt ASC 606, commissions will be amortized in sales and marketing expense over the period of benefit. While our sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenue has decreased in recent periods, we expect to continue to make significant investments as we expand our customer acquisition and retention efforts. Therefore, we expect that sales and marketing expense will increase in absolute dollars but may vary as a percentage of total revenue for the foreseeable future.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation costs, allocated overhead, and travel costs for finance, accounting, legal, human resources, and recruiting personnel. In addition, general and administrative expense includes non-personnel costs, such as accounting fees, legal fees, and all other supporting corporate expenses not allocated to other departments. We expect to incur additional costs as a result of operating as a public company, including costs related to compliance and reporting obligations of public companies, and increased costs for insurance, investor relations, and professional services. As a result, we expect our general and administrative expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future but may vary as a percentage of revenue.

21



Interest and Other (Expense) Income, net
Interest and other (expense) income, net primarily consists of interest income from our investment holdings, interest expense associated with our Loan and Security Agreement (Debt Agreement), and foreign exchange fluctuations.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision consists primarily of income taxes related to foreign and state jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred assets will be utilized.

Subscription revenue increased by $13.5 million, or 43%, for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2017. The increase in subscription revenue was primarily attributable to new customers acquired during the period and an increase in usage and sales of additional products to our existing customers. Additionally, the impact of purchase accounting from the acquisition of Leeyo resulted in higher subscription revenue recognition for the period ended October 31, 2018 compared to the period ended October 31, 2017.
Professional services revenue increased by $1.8 million, or 12%, for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2017, primarily due to increased revenue from customer deployments of our products.

Cost of subscription revenue increased by $2.8 million, or 34%, for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2017, primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in data center costs, $1.0 million in employee compensation costs related to increased headcount, $0.3 million of professional services, $0.3 million in allocated overhead including facilities expansions, and $0.2 million in software license costs. The increase in these costs is driven by the growth in the number of customers as well as the increase in usage from existing customers.
Cost of professional services revenue increased by $5.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2017, due to an increase in headcount as well as professional services expenses in order to support a greater number of customer deployments.
Our gross margin for subscription services improved to 75% for the three months ended October 31, 2018 from 74% for the three months ended October 31, 2017, as a result of higher operational efficiencies as well as the impact of purchase accounting from the acquisition of Leeyo that resulted in higher subscription revenue recognition relative to costs for the period ended October 31, 2018 as compared to the period ended October 31, 2017.
Our gross margin for professional services decreased to (12)% for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to 9% for the three months ended October 31, 2017, primarily as a result of increases in allocated overhead, including facilities expansions and continuing investment in headcount in order to support a greater number of customer deployments. Some of this investment in headcount was not fully utilized during the three months ended October 31, 2018, due to ramp-up time for new hires, and is expected to be realized in future periods.

The increase in headcount was driven by our continued investment in technology, innovation, and new products.

The increase in these costs was driven by investment required to support our growth as well as operations as a public company.
The percentage of general and administrative expense to total revenue increased for the three months ended October 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2017 as the additional infrastructure costs associated with being a public company were incurred without a corresponding increase in revenue.

We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and taxes in foreign jurisdictions. For the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded a tax provision of $0.2 million and $34,000, respectively, on losses before income taxes of $17.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were (1.3)% and (0.3)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of providing no benefit on pretax losses incurred in the

25



United States. For the three months ended October 31, 2018, we maintained a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as it was more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended October 31, 2018 and 2017
The nine months ended October 31, 2017 included only five months of results attributable to our Zuora RevPro product, as our acquisition of Leeyo occurred on May 31, 2017.

Cost of subscription revenue increased by $9.0 million, or 40%, for the nine months ended October 31, 2018 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2017, primarily due to increases of $3.1 million in data center costs to support customer growth, $2.6 million in employee compensation costs related to increased headcount, $1.2 million of professional services costs, $0.8 million in allocated overhead including facilities expansions, $0.7 million in software license costs, and $0.4 million related to the amortization of purchased technology and amortization of internal-use software. The increase in these costs was driven by the growth in the number of customers as well as the increase in usage from existing customers.

Cost of professional services revenue increased by $20.3 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2018 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2017, due to an increase in headcount as well as professional services expenses in order to support an increased number of customer deployments.
Our gross margin for subscription services was 74% for both the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, primarily from increased investment in infrastructure offset by the impact of purchase accounting from the Leeyo acquisition that resulted in higher subscription revenue recognition for the nine months ended October 31, 2018 as compared to the period ended October 31, 2017. In addition, gross margin for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 was impacted by one-time employee compensation costs related to the acquisition of Leeyo.
Our gross margin for professional services decreased to (9)% for the nine months ended October 31, 2018 compared to (3%) for the nine months ended October 31, 2017, primarily as a result of increases in allocated overhead, including facilities expansions and investment in headcount in order to support a greater number of customer deployments.

We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and taxes in foreign jurisdictions. For the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded a tax provision of $0.6 million and $0.4 million on losses before income taxes of $56.3 million and $32.9 million, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 were (1.1)% and (1.2)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of providing no benefit on pretax losses incurred in the United States. For the nine months ended October 31, 2018, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as it was more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of October 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments of $181.4 million. Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the net proceeds we received through private sales of equity securities, payments received from customers for subscription and professional services, and borrowings from our Debt Agreement. Additionally, in April 2018, we completed our initial public offering (IPO), in which we issued and sold an aggregate of 12.7 million shares of Class A common stock at a price of $14.00 per share. We received aggregate net proceeds

28



of $162.2 million from the IPO, after underwriting discounts and commissions and payments of offering costs as of April 30, 2018.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investment balances, funds available under our Debt Agreement, and cash provided by subscriptions to our platform and related professional services will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of our revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product offerings, and the continuing market adoption of our platform. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may elect to or may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. Sales of additional equity could result in dilution to our stockholders. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies, it could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations.
Debt Agreement
In June 2017, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank that includes a revolving and term loan facility. In October 2018, the agreement was amended (Debt Agreement) to, among other things, increase the revolving loan availability to $30.0 million (from $10 million), lower our borrowing costs under both the revolving and term loans to the prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ Prime Rate) minus 1.00%, extend the interest-only repayment period under the term loan until June 2019, after which time principal and interest will be due in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments, extend the revolving loan maturity date until October 2021, and extend the latest term loan maturity date until June 2022. We accounted for this amendment as a debt modification and will recognize the unamortized fees related to the Debt Agreement over the duration of the term loan.
Revolving Loan. The Debt Agreement allows us to borrow up to $30.0 million until June 2019 in revolving loans. Advances drawn down under the revolving loan incur interest at the WSJ Prime Rate minus 1.00% which is due monthly on any amounts drawn down, with the principal due at maturity. Any outstanding amounts must be fully repaid on or before October 2021. We are required to pay an annual fee of $20,000 on this revolving loan, regardless of any amounts drawn down. As of October 31, 2018, we had not drawn down any amounts under this revolving loan.
Term Loan. The Debt Agreement allows us to borrow $15.0 million in term loans, which we drew down in June 2017 to partially finance the acquisition of Leeyo Software, Inc. (Leeyo). Any outstanding amounts under the term loan accrue interest at the WSJ Prime rate minus 1.00%, which is due monthly through June 2019. The interest rate was 4.25% as of October 31, 2018. Beginning with the term loan payment due on July 1, 2019, we are required to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest over 36 months until the term loan is repaid. We may prepay all outstanding principal and accrued interest at any time without penalty. We will incur a fee of 1.5% of the original principal amount of the term loan, or $225,000, upon the earlier to occur of prepayment or the termination of the facility. As of October 31, 2018, we had $13.4 million outstanding under the term loan.
Both the revolving loan and the term loan are subject to a certain financial covenant to maintain an adjusted quick ratio of no less than 1.10:1.00. As of October 31, 2018, we were in compliance with this financial covenant. The Debt Agreement also imposes certain limitations with respect to lines of business, mergers, investments and acquisitions, additional indebtedness, distributions, guarantees, liens, and encumbrances. We were also in compliance with these restrictions as of October 31, 2018.
