Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or any future periods.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“ASC 842”), described below and in Note 7, and debt issuance costs, described below in Note 8, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Use of Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgements, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,  variable consideration, determining the stand-alone selling prices of performance obligations, gross versus net revenue reporting, evaluation of customer versus vendor relationships, and other obligations such as sales return reserves and customer incentive programs; the valuation of inventory, the valuation of deferred income tax assets, the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities and stock-based compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates and assumptions.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains (loss) on the Company’s short-term investments for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company did not have any short-term investments during the three months ended March 31, 2018. As a result, comprehensive income (loss) was equal to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is comprised of cash collateral for outstanding letters of credit related to operating leases of office facilities. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had restricted cash of $26.4 million. The Company did not have any restricted cash as of December 31, 2018.

 

Content Licensing Fees

The Company acquires rights to video content for viewing on The Roku Channel. Consideration for these content rights can include a fixed fees and/or a share of advertising revenue. The Company capitalizes the content fees and records a corresponding liability at the gross amount of the liability when the license period has begun, the cost of the content is determinable, and the content is accepted and available for streaming. The Company amortizes licensed content assets into “Cost of Revenue, Platform” over the contractual window of availability.

As of March 31, 2019, content related expenses that met these requirements were not material.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under prior GAAP. ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance in ASC 842 using the optional transition method and recorded right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. As a result, periods prior to 2019 were not adjusted. On the adoption date, the Company recognized ROU assets totaling $39.9 million, lease liabilities totaling $42.1 million and reclassification of deferred and prepaid rents of $2.2 million to ROU assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheet. There was no impact to the accumulated deficit. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that allowed, among other things, the historical lease classification to be carried forward without reassessment. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. Refer to Note 7 for additional disclosures.  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Topic 350), Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which requires hosting arrangements that are service contracts to follow the guidance for internal-use software to determine which implementation costs can be capitalized. The guidance is effective either prospectively or retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the new guidance but does not expect the impact from this standard to be material.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance amends reporting of credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities to require that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. The measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets and subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statements of operations. The amendments in this update will be effective beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effects of the new guidance but does not expect the impact from this standard to be material.
