New Relic, Inc. (the “Company” or “New Relic”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 20, 2008, when it converted from a Delaware limited liability company called New Relic Software, LLC, which was formed in Delaware in September 2007. The Company provides a strategic observability platform that enables users to collect, store and analyze vast quantities of telemetry data flowing from applications and infrastructure to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize their software.
Basis of Presentation —These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 14, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim period, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the fair value of share-based awards, fair value of purchased intangible assets and goodwill, fair value of debt and equity components related to the 0.5% convertible senior notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), useful lives of purchased intangible assets, unrecognized tax benefits, expected benefit period for deferred commissions, incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, and the capitalization and estimated useful life of the Company’s software development costs.
These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
COVID-19—The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity that is expected to continue and which is likely to decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, while also disrupting sales channels and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until the disease is contained. The Company currently expects its revenue and deferred revenue to be negatively impacted by the slowdown in activity associated with the COVID-19 pandemic for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, but at this point, the extent of the impact to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations is uncertain, and as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, management is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to estimates and judgments or revising the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and will be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the financial statements.
Concentration of Risk—There was no customer that represented more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2020 or March 31, 2020. There was no customer that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2020 or 2019.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities. The Company adopted this new standard on April 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Under the new standard, the Company assesses credit losses on accounts receivable by taking into consideration past collection experience, credit quality of the customer, age of the receivable balance, current economic conditions, and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount.
With respect to available-for-sale debt securities, the updated guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. Allowance for credit losses is recorded in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, limited by the amount that fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Non-credit related impairment losses are reported as a separate component on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The Company adopted this standard on April 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this standard on April 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The Company adopted this standard on April 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
