Description of business
Description of business
Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “GDH” ) is a leading provider of technology consulting, platform and product engineering, and advanced analytics services. The Company’s core business includes cloud platform and product engineering, supply chain and advanced manufacturing, and data and machine learning platform engineering. Grid Dynamics also helps organizations become more agile and create innovative digital products and experiences through its deep expertise in emerging technology, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”), data science, cloud computing, big data and DevOps, lean software development practices and a high-performance product culture. The Company’s headquarters and principal place of business is in San Ramon, California.
Principles of consolidation
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly owned or controlled. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Principles of consolidation, variable interest entities The Company provides services to its customers utilizing its own personnel as well as personnel from subcontractors. One of the subcontractors exclusively supports and performs services on behalf of the Company and its customers. The Company had no ownership in this subcontractor (“Affiliate”) as of December 31, 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company had similar subcontractors that ceased its operations at the beginning of 2022. The Company is required to apply accounting standards which address how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) through means other than voting rights and accordingly should determine whether or not to consolidate the entity. The Company has determined that it is required to consolidate the Affiliate because the Company has the power to direct the VIE’s most significant activities and is the primary beneficiary of the Affiliate. The assets and liabilities of the Affiliate primarily consist of inter-company balances and transactions all of which have been eliminated in consolidation. There was minimal activity in the Affiliate during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis including allowance of credit losses, determination of fair value, useful lives and recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, valuation of stock-based compensation and contingent consideration payable, determination of provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and uncertain tax positions. The Company builds its estimates on historical data and assumptions as well as forward-looking expectations that the Company believes to be reasonable under current conditions and circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.
Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. All assets and liabilities of consolidated foreign subsidiary whose functional currency is different from the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollar at the current exchange rate as of the end of the period, and revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash balances and short-term, highly liquid investments and deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
Non-marketable securities
Non-marketable securities
The Company holds investments in privately-held entities. Such investments do not have readily determinable fair value and as such are accounted for under the fair value measurement alternative. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Non-marketable securities are classified as Other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets. All gains and losses on non-marketable securities, whether realized or unrealized, are recognized in Other income/(expense), net in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income/(loss).
Contract balances
Contract balances
Depending on the timing of revenue recognition and contractual payment terms, the Company records trade receivables, contract assets or contract liabilities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s accounts receivables are rights to consideration that are conditional only on the passage of time. Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for credit losses. From time-to-time, a service period may overlap with a period-end and the unbilled receivables represent amounts for services performed through period-end, but not yet billed. The unbilled receivable represents the amount expected to be billed and collected for services performed through period-end in accordance with contract terms. Comparatively, if a right to consideration is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time, the Company records contract assets. Contract assets usually arise in fixed-price arrangements when services have been provided, but the Company is to satisfy other performance obligations to receive consideration. If the Company receives consideration in advance of the performance obligation being satisfied or in excess of the revenue recognized, the Company records a contract liability. The Company records its contract assets and liabilities on a net contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
Allowance for credit losses
The Company maintains an allowance against accounts receivable for the estimated probable losses on uncollectible accounts. The allowance is based upon historical loss experience, as adjusted for the current market conditions and forecasts about future economic conditions. Accounts receivable are charged off against the reserve when, in management’s estimation, further collection efforts would not result in a reasonable likelihood of receipt. Movement of allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is presented in the following table:

Year ended December 31, 2021$418 45 (148)— $315 
Property and equipment
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally two to 10 years. Leasehold improvements and property under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Software development costs
Software development costs
The Company incurs certain internal and external costs associated with the development of internally used software. Such costs are capitalized once the application development stage is reached, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ceases and amortization begins once the developed software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The capitalized amounts are included in Property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs incurred during planning, preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred.
Internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the respective asset, generally two years. Amortization of internally developed software is recorded within Engineering, research, and development and Sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income/(loss) as the software is developed for purposes of supporting internal R&D, engineering, and marketing activities. Management evaluates the useful lives of these
assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. There was no impairment of internally developed software in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Business combinations
Business combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting that requires to allocate the purchase price of acquired company to any assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based on their estimated fair values. Any excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The Company uses management estimates and industry data to assist in establishing the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and contingent consideration granted, if any. These estimates and valuations require the Company to make significant assumptions, including projections of future events and operating performance.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is to be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment arise. Impairment evaluation is performed at reporting unit level. Based on the internal reporting structure, the Company had one reporting unit as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
On December 31 of each year the Company makes a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the Company determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it will perform a quantitative analysis; otherwise, no further evaluation is necessary.
For the quantitative impairment assessment, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company uses the discounted cash flow method of the income approach and market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company will recognize a loss equal to the excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Impairments, if any, are charged directly to earnings. There was no impairment of goodwill in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets other than goodwill
Finite-lived intangible assets include assets acquired as a result of a business acquisition and are initially measured at estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Depending on class of intangible asset the Company may utilize various methods to determine its estimated fair value, including “multi-period excess earnings”, “relief-from-royalty”, or “with and without” methods. After the initial recognition finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the asset’s useful lives. Amortization is computed either on the straight-line basis or declining balance method ranging between two and 12 years.
The Company evaluates the estimated useful lives and potential impairment of finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value might not be recoverable, projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated remaining useful lives is compared against their respective carrying amounts. If an asset is found to be impaired, the impairment charge will be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of an entity exceeds its fair value. There was no impairment of intangible assets in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
The Company does not have intangible assets other than goodwill that have indefinite useful lives.
Fair value
Fair value
Financial instruments are required to be categorized within a valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available in the market used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be derived from observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and credit ratings.
Leases
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at lease inception. Assessment and classification of lease as either operating or financing is performed at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets (“RoU Assets”) are initially measured based on the present value of future lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. RoU Asset value is additionally adjusted by initial direct costs and incentives received. Present value is calculated based on either the interest rate implicit in the lease agreement or, if not available, based on our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment.
The Company typically only includes an initial lease term in its assessment of a lease arrangement. Options to renew or terminate a lease are not included in the Company’s assessment unless there is reasonable certainty that the Company will exercise the renewal option. RoU Assets are subject to periodic impairment tests. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In accordance with ASC Topic 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components, non-lease components, and non-components. The fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any consideration related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components. The Company elected a practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of lease assets with an original term of twelve months or less. For transition, practical expedients were accepted to carry forward historical accounting for any expired or existing contracts that are or contain lease contracts and not to re-assess initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.
Revenue recognition
Revenues
The Company accounts for a contract when there is a commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized only when control of the promised services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. A promise to transfer a distinct service is defined as a performance obligation.
The Company derives its revenue from contracts for consulting and hosting services. These contracts have different terms based on the scope and complexity of engagements and are priced based on time-and-material, fixed-fee or multiple fee types. Consideration for some contracts may include variable consideration including volume discounts. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company only includes estimated amounts of consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. These estimates may require management to make subjective judgments and to make estimates about the effects of matters inherently uncertain. The determination of whether to constrain consideration in the transaction price are based on information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specific facts and circumstances of each arrangement.
If the Company is not certain about collectability of consideration for services rendered, revenue recognition is deferred until uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. The Company reports gross reimbursable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred as both revenues and cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income/(loss).
Consulting services
The Company offers a suite of digital engineering and information technology (“IT”) consulting services, including digital transformation strategy, emerging technology, lean labs and legacy system replatforming. The Company recognizes revenue for services over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs IT consulting
services. Consulting services require the Company to provide a series of distinct daily services and as such represent a single performance obligation earned over the term of a contract and the value derived corresponds to the labor hours expended. Therefore, the Company measures the progress and recognizes revenue using an effort-based input method. Where applicable the Company applies the practical expedient and revenue from time-and-materials contracts is recognized based on the right to invoice for services performed, with the corresponding cost of providing those services reflected as cost of sales when incurred. For fixed fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue as the work is performed, the monthly calculation of which is based upon actual labor hours incurred and level of effort expended throughout the duration of the contract.
Hosting services
The Company’s hosting services contracts comprise of the right to access hosted software, and use apart from hosting, set-up, installation, support and maintenance services. The Company does not grant the customer with the right to take possession of the software at any time during the hosting period. Due to the complexity of software, installation, set-up, support and maintenance services are provided only at the level of service provider, and the customer can benefit from these services only when combined with software and hosting services. Accordingly, each of these services is not considered a distinct performance obligation in terms of a contract, and are combined in a single performance obligation. Because hosting services are transferred to the customer evenly over the contract period, the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the term of the contract.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenue primarily consists of compensation for professional staff generating revenues for the Company. Compensation includes salary, benefits, performance bonuses, retention bonuses, stock compensation expense, technology and travel expenses. The Company allocates a portion of depreciation and amortization to cost of revenue.
Engineering, research and development
Engineering, research and development
Engineering, research, and development expenses primarily include compensation for professional staff performing research and development related activities that are not directly attributable to generating revenues for the Company. Research and development activities relate to building and scaling the next generation e-commerce platform solutions for customers. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Engineering, research, and development expenses also include depreciation and amortization costs, stock-based compensation expenses and performance and retention bonuses.
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing
Sales and marketing expenses are those expenses associated with promoting and selling the Company’s services and include such items as sales and marketing personnel salaries, benefits, stock compensation expenses, travel, advertising, depreciation and amortization, performance and retention bonuses, and other promotional activities.
General and administrative
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses include other operating items such as officers’ and administrative personnel salaries, benefits, stock compensation expenses, legal, tax and audit expenses, public company related expenses, insurance, technology costs, facility costs, performance and retention bonuses, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of purchased intangibles, and operating lease expenses.
Advertising and promotional expenses
Advertising and promotional expenses
Advertising and promotional costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and are included in Sales and marketing expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, advertising and promotional expenses totaled $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense
Stock-based compensation
The Company recognizes the cost of its stock-based awards based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. The fair value of service-based and performance based awards at the date of grant is based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on NASDAQ. Grant-date fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The model requires management to make a number of key assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value its share-based awards on each grant date. For an award with graded vesting that is subject only to a service condition (e.g., time-based vesting), the Company uses the straight-line attribution method under ASC Topic 718 under which it recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line
basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award (i.e., over the requisite service period of the last separately-vesting tranche of the award). For awards with performance conditions the compensation cost recognized is based on the actual or expected achievement of the performance condition. Additionally, the Company applies the “floor” concept so that the amount of compensation cost that is recognized as of any date is at least equal to the grant-date fair value of the vested portion of the award on that date. That is, if the straight-line expense recognized to date is less than the grant date fair value of the award that is legally vested at that date, the company will increase its recognized expense to at least equal the fair value of the vested amount. The requisite service period, which is the vesting period, of service-based and performance-based awards is typically four years and one year, respectively. The Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur.
Benefit plans
Benefit plans
The Company maintains a 401(k) defined contribution savings and retirement plan for substantially all of its U.S. employees. Subject to ERISA regulations, an employee may elect to contribute an amount up to 90% of compensation during each plan year not to exceed the annual maximum defined by the IRS. The Company is not required to make contributions to the plan but can make discretionary contributions. The Company has not made any contributions to the 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
Income taxes
Income taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities. The determination of the provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The provision for income taxes reflects a combination of income earned and taxed in the various U.S. federal and state, international and other jurisdictions. Jurisdictional tax law changes, increases or decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, accruals or adjustments of accruals for tax contingencies or valuation allowances, and the change in the mix of earnings from these taxing jurisdictions all affect the overall effective tax rate.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, in determining whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence includes prior earnings history, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, carryback and carryforward periods of tax attributes, and tax planning strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset in making this assessment. The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified.
The Company evaluates for uncertain tax positions at each balance sheet date. When it is more likely than not that a position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information, the Company measures the amount of tax benefit from the position and records the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized after settlement with a tax authority. The Company’s policy for interest and/or penalties related to underpayments of income taxes is to include interest and penalties in income tax expense.
Restructuring
Restructuring
Restructuring costs include charges for the costs of exit or disposal activities. The liability associated with restructuring activities is measured initially at fair value and recognized when the liability is incurred. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company initiated actions focused on optimization of its billable and non-billable functions and reduction of associated costs. The Company incurred and paid total restructuring costs of $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. Restructuring costs comprised of employee severance and other personnel costs and were classified as General and administrative expenses in the consolidated financial statements. The Company did not incur any restructuring expenses during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Earnings per share
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”), except cases where the effect of the inclusion of options would be antidilutive. The Company includes PSUs in computation of diluted earnings per share when they become contingently issuable
per the authoritative guidance and excludes them when they are not contingently issuable. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
Prior period reclassifications
Prior period reclassifications
The Company presented and analyzed its revenues by customer locations attributing revenues based upon billed customer location. Effective December 31, 2023, the Company attributes revenues to geographic regions based upon location of the customer served irrespective of the location billed, or the location of the delivery center performing the work. The Company believes this change allows it to more effectively analyze its geographies and associated risks. This change did not result in any adjustments to our previously issued financial statements and were applied retrospectively beginning on January 1, 2021. Comparative information for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is presented in the following tables:

Concentrations of credit risk and significant customers
Concentrations of credit risk
Capital resources
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We manage our credit risk exposure through timely assessment of our counterparty creditworthiness and credit limits.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions. The Company places its cash with financial institutions considered stable in the region and conducts ongoing assessment of its creditworthiness. At the same time, a banking crisis, bankruptcy or insolvency of banks that process or hold the Company’s funds, may result in the loss of the Company’s deposits or adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete banking transactions, which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, cash held by the Company outside the U.S. was $21.2 million and $16.8 million, respectively, and included, among others, the U.K., Netherlands, India, Poland, Ukraine, Armenia, Moldova, Serbia, Mexico and other countries. The banking sector of Ukraine, Armenia, Moldova, Serbia, and Mexico remains periodically unstable, banking and other financial systems generally do not meet the financial standards of more developed European and American markets, and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. In addition to that, the Ukrainian financial system was and continues to be significantly impacted by military action launched by Russia against the country. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, cash balances held in Ukraine equaled $4.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The Company tends to hold cash in Ukraine and other countries of its presence with less developed and regulated banking systems at levels necessary to cover operating needs of local entities.
Customers
The Company derives its revenues from customers operating in multiple industries located around the world. This fact accompanied by ongoing evaluation of customer financial position allows the Company to disaggregate and limit its exposure to credit risk. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant credit losses and write-offs of accounts receivable, however, if any of its customers encounter financial difficulties or become insolvent, the Company’s credit losses could increase which would negatively affect its results of operations.

Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risks
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s operations are predominantly conducted in U.S. dollars. Other than U.S. dollars, the Company generates revenues in EURO and British pounds and incur expenditures principally in Polish zlotys, EURO, British pounds and Mexican pesos. International foreign operations expose the Company to foreign currency exchange rate changes that could impact remeasurement of foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities into the U.S. dollars with the remeasurement impact recorded to income. The Company has not entered into any foreign exchange forward contracts, derivatives, or similar financial instruments to hedge against the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the net loss on foreign currency transactions was $2.3 million, $1.5 million, and $0.7 million, respectively.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements and Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Changes to the U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), to the FASB’s ASC. The Company will adopt these changes according to the various timetables the FASB specifies.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard supersedes previously existing lease guidance (“Topic 840”) and requires entities to recognize all leases, with the exception of leases with a term of twelve months or less, on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets (“RoU Assets”) and lease liabilities. Disclosures should provide the information in the financial statements summarizing the amount, timing and cash flows arising from leasing. The Company adopted Topic 842, effective January 1, 2022 using current period adjustment method. Prior period amounts were not adjusted. The adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2022 resulted in the recognition of RoU Assets for operating leases of $5.9 million and operating lease liabilities of $5.7 million. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have an impact on the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive income/(loss), consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity or the consolidated statement of cash flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments that was subsequently amended by ASU 2019-4, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, ASU 2019-5, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, and clarified with the release of ASU 2020-2 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842). These ASUs replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Company adopted Topic 326, effective January 1, 2023, using a modified-retrospective approach. Adoption of Topic 326 did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832) – Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which requires entities to make annual disclosures about government assistance received during reporting periods presented. Disclosures are aimed at increasing transparency and include the following (1) the nature, significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including related commitments and contingencies, (2) the related
accounting policy applied to those transactions; and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and impacts only annual financial statement note disclosures.
The Company receives government grants in certain countries of its operations. The grants are mainly aimed at reaching certain employment rates. The Company recognizes grants in Other income/(expense), net or as a reduction to the related Operating expenses in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive income/(loss) when there is reasonable assurance that the terms of the grant will be met. Funds received before the Company meets the terms of the grant are reported as a deferred income classified in the consolidated balance sheets under Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities depending on grant’s maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $1.3 million related to government grants, which are included in Cost of revenues and Operating expenses in the consolidated statements of loss. There were no material grants received during the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
On November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, that expands disclosures requirements around significant segment expenses and other segment items that are included in reported measure of segment profit or loss.
