Description of Business

 

CalAmp Corp. (referred to herein as “CalAmp”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a telematics pioneer leading transformation in a global connected economy. We help reinvent businesses and improve lives around the globe with technology solutions that streamline complex mobile Internet of Things (“IoT”) deployments through wireless connectivity solutions and derived data intelligence. Our software applications, scalable cloud services, and intelligent devices collect and assess business-critical data anywhere in the world from industrial machines, commercial and passenger vehicles, their drivers and contents. We are a global organization that is headquartered in Irvine, California. We operate under two reportable segments: Telematics Systems and Software & Subscription Services.

On February 25, 2019, we completed our acquisition of Tracker Network (UK) Limited (“TRACKER”), a LoJack licensee and a market leader in SVR telematics services across the United Kingdom, for a cash purchase price of approximately $13.0 million. See Note 2 for a description of this acquisition. In the same month, we entered into an agreement to acquire Car Track, S.A. de C.V., the exclusive licensee of LoJack technology for the Mexican market. The agreement was to purchase the 87.5% of the Car Track shares not currently owned by CalAmp for a purchase price, net of cash on hand, of approximately $13.0 million. We completed the acquisition on March 18, 2019. On April 12, 2019, we acquired Synovia Solutions (“Synovia”), a North American market leader in fleet safety and management for K-12 school bus and state and local government fleets for a purchase price, net of cash on hand, of approximately $50 million. Combined with the recent acquisitions of TRACKER and Car Track, the Synovia acquisition expands our fleet management and vehicle safety services portfolio and accelerates our transformation to high-value subscription-based services.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CalAmp Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allowance for doubtful accounts; estimate for the lower of cost or market for excess and obsolete inventory; product warranties; deferred income tax asset valuation allowances; intangible assets and other long-lived assets; intellectual property and accrued royalties; stock-based compensation; other contingencies and revenue recognition. The current economic environment, and supplier and customer concentrations also increase the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analytical framework for transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to adhere to this core principle, we apply the following five-step approach:

 

 

identify the contract with a customer;

 

identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

determine the transaction price;

 

allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for goods or services we transfer to the customer.

 

The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. We adopted the new standard effective March 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, which we applied to all contracts that were not completed on adoption date. We applied the provisions of ASC 605 to revenue recognized during each of the fiscal years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017. In the section titled Recently Issued Accounting Standards below, we have presented a comparison of the results under ASC 606 and ASC 605 for the year ended February 28, 2019.

 

Products. In accordance with ASC 606, we recognize revenue from product sales upon transfer of control of promised products to customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price, which is generally the stand-alone selling prices of the promised goods. For product shipments made on the basis of “FOB Destination” terms, revenue is recorded when the products reach the customer. Customers generally do not have a right of return except for defective products returned during the warranty period. We record estimated commitments related to customer incentive programs as reductions of revenues.

 

Professional Services. We also provide various professional services to customers. These include project management, engineering services, installation services and an on-going early warning automated notification service, which are typically distinct from other performance obligations and are recognized as the related services are performed. For certain professional service contracts, we recognize revenue based on the proportion of total costs incurred to-date over the estimated cost of the contract, which is an input method.

 

Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”). Our SaaS-based subscriptions for our fleet management, vehicle finance and certain other verticals provide our customers with the ability to wirelessly communicate with monitoring devices installed in vehicles and other mobile or remote assets via our software applications. The transaction price for a typical SaaS arrangement includes the price for the hardware, accessories, installation and application subscriptions. Generally, we defer the recognition of revenue for the customized devices that only function with our applications and are sold on an integrated basis with applicable subscriptions. Such customized devices and the application services are not sold separately. In such circumstances, the associated product costs are recorded as deferred costs in the balance sheet. The upfront fees for the devices are not distinct from the subscription service and are combined into the subscription service performance obligation. Generally, these service arrangements do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting the subscription service at any time. Revenues from subscription services are recognized ratably, on a straight-line basis, over the term of the subscription. The deferred product revenue and deferred product cost amounts are amortized to application subscriptions and related products and other services revenue and cost of revenue, respectively, on a straight-line basis over the estimated average in-service lives of these devices, which are three years in the vehicle finance and four years in the fleet management verticals. Our deferred revenue under ASC 606 also includes prepayments from our customers for various subscription services but does not include future subscription fees associated with customers’ unexercised contract renewal rights. The product revenues for certain customer arrangements are presented combined within Application subscription and related products and other services in our statement of comprehensive income (loss) as the products and services are customarily part of one customer contractual arrangement.

 

In certain customer arrangements, we also sell devices together with monitoring services, for which revenues for the sales of the devices are recognized upon transfer of control to the customer and monitoring services are recognized over the service period as the devices and services are customarily part of one customer contractual arrangement. The allocation of the transaction price is based on estimated stand-alone selling prices for the devices and the monitoring services. The revenues under these arrangements are included within Application Subscription and Related Products and Other Services revenues and costs of revenues in our statement of comprehensive income (loss).

 

Sales taxes. We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer.

 

Contract Balances. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing on our invoicing to customers. Contract liabilities are comprised of billings or payments received from our customers in advance of performance under the contract. We refer to these contract liabilities as “Deferred Revenues” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. During fiscal year ended February 28, 2019, we recognized $20.4 million in revenue from the beginning deferred revenue balance of $41.7 million on March 1, 2018. Certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer consist of deferred costs of hardware and sales commissions. The deferred costs of hardware are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the device on a straight-line basis. We determined that sales commissions are generally recognized within one year; therefore, we have elected the practical expedient to expense sales commission costs as incurred.

 

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into reportable segments, geography, type of goods and services and timing of revenue recognition. See Note 20 for our revenue by segment and geography. The disaggregation of revenue by type of goods and services and by timing of revenue recognition was as follows (in thousands):

We adopted ASC 606 under the modified retrospective method on March 1, 2018, and therefore we did not present comparative information for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017.

 

As of February 28, 2019, we have estimated remaining performance obligations for contractually committed revenues of $51.4 million, of which we expect to recognize approximately 48% in fiscal 2020 and 29% in fiscal 2021. We have utilized the practical expedient exception within ASC 606 and exclude contracts that have original durations of less than one year from the aforementioned remaining performance obligation disclosure.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, marketable debt securities and trade accounts receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents as well as investments are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the federally insured limits. These deposits are maintained with reputable financial institutions and are redeemable upon demand. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due to us from sales arrangements executed in our normal business activities and are recorded at invoiced amounts. Our payment terms generally range between 30 to 60 days and we do not offer financing options. We present the aggregate accounts receivable balance net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Generally, collateral and other security is not obtained for outstanding accounts receivable. Credit losses, if any, are recognized based on management’s evaluation of historical collection experience, customer-specific financial conditions as well as an evaluation of current industry trends and general economic conditions. Past due balances are assessed by management on a periodic basis and balances are written off when the customer’s financial condition no longer warrants pursuit of collection. Although we expect to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from estimated amounts.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable value). Inventories are reviewed for excess quantities and obsolescence based upon demand forecasts for a specific time horizon. We record a charge to cost of revenues for the amount required to reduce the carrying value of inventory to estimated net realizable value. Ongoing changes in cellular carrier technology, supplier changes, closure of our warehouse facilities, changes in demand or significant reductions in product pricing may necessitate additional write-downs of inventory carrying value in the future, which could be material.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

We capitalize certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal-use software and software embedded in our products. These costs are recorded as property and equipment in our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over useful lives ranging from three to seven years.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. To the extent the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. We determine the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and other estimates made by management. We may refine the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, during the measurement period of up to one year after the acquisition closing date as we obtain more information as to facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date impacting the asset valuations and liabilities assumed. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting unit expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid in a business combination and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment on an annual or interim basis as deemed necessary.

Our acquired identifiable intangible assets from business combinations consist principally of developed technology, customer lists, dealer relationships and tradenames. Our acquired intangible assets with definite lives are amortized from the date of acquisition over periods ranging from two to ten years using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise used or, if that pattern cannot be reliably determined, using a straight-line amortization method.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis, if we believe indicators of impairment exist. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we conduct a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of the goodwill. The amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value will be recognized as an impairment loss. In both fiscal 2019 and 2018, we conducted a quantitative goodwill impairment test and did not identify an impairment indicator as part of our quantitative step one analysis.

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including identifiable intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans or changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, we evaluate recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets or asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the lowest level of asset group. Given the interdependencies of revenues across our segments, product and service verticals, and geographies, our asset groups are generally our two operating segments. If the assets or asset group are impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by estimates of discounted cash flows. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows would be the rate required for similar investment of like risk.

Impairment of Equity Method Investments

Impairment of Equity Method Investments

We assess whether there are indicators that the value of our equity method investments may be impaired. An impairment charge is recognized only if we determine that a decline in the value of the investment below our carrying value is other-than-temporary. The assessment of impairment is highly subjective and involves the application of significant assumptions and judgments about our intent and ability to recover our investment given the nature and operations of the underlying investment, including the level of our involvement therein, among other factors. To the extent an impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment. Impairment charges are included in Impairment loss and equity in net loss of affiliate.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Our cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these items. Our marketable securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The framework for measuring fair value and related disclosure requirements about fair value measurements are provided in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). This pronouncement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy proscribed by ASC 820 contains three levels as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. In certain cases, costs are incurred to purchase materials and equipment for future use in research and development efforts. In such cases, these costs are capitalized and expensed as consumed.

Product Warranty

Product Warranty

All products have a one- or two-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects and workmanship. We estimate the future costs relating to product returns subject to our warranty and record a reserve upon shipment of our products. We periodically adjust our estimates for actual warranty claims, historical claims experience as well as the impact of known product quality issues.

Patent Litigation and Other Contingencies

Patent Litigation and Other Contingencies

We accrue for patent litigation and other contingencies whenever we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and a liability is reasonably estimable. The amount of the accrual is estimated based on a review of each claim, including the type and facts of the claim and our assessment of the merits of the claim. These accruals are reviewed at least on a quarterly basis and are adjusted to reflect the impact of recent negotiations, settlements, court rulings, advice from legal counsel and other events pertaining to the case. Such accruals, if any, are recorded as general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Although we take considerable measures to mitigate our exposure in these matters, litigation is unpredictable; however, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to pending legal matters against us as well as adequate provisions for probable and estimable losses. All costs for legal services are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method when accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgement occurs. Valuation allowances are provided against tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. In assessing valuation allowances, we review historical and future expected operating results and other factors, including cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income by jurisdiction and the carryforward periods available for reporting purposes.

We recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.  

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

We translate the assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for these subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Gains and losses from these translations are recognized in foreign currency translation included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the period. The aggregate foreign currency transaction exchange rate gain (losses) included in determining income (loss) before income taxes were $(0.4) million, $0.5 million and $0.1 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation expense resulting from grants of employee stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units is recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the respective grant date fair values of the awards. We generally estimate stock option grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and recognize the expense over a requisite service (vesting) period using the straight-line method. The measurement of stock-based compensation is based on several criteria such as the type of equity award, the valuation model used and associated input factors including the expected term of the award, stock price volatility, risk free interest rate and forfeiture rate. Certain of these inputs are subjective and are determined based in part on management's judgment. We account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating expected forfeitures over the course of a vesting period.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). OCI refers to revenue, expenses and gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ equity and excluded from net income (loss). Our OCI consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. We adopted the standard during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2018. The adoption of the standard had no impact on our consolidated financial statement for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2019.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and instead requires that an entity measure the impairment of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit if the carrying value of assets and liabilities assigned to the reporting unit including goodwill exceed the reporting unit's fair value. The new guidance must be adopted for annual and interim goodwill tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. After the adoption of this standard on a prospective basis, we will follow a one-step model for goodwill impairment. We do not anticipate this pronouncement will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which was further clarified by ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases – Targeted Improvement, both issued in July 2018. ASU 2016-02 affects all entities that lease assets and establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2018-10 clarifies or corrects unintended application of guidance related to ASU 2016-02. The amendments affects narrow aspects of ASU 2016-02 related to the implicit rate in the lease, impairment of the net investment in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments. ASU 2018-11 adds a transition option for all entities and a practical expedient only for lessors. The transition option allows entities to not apply the new leases standard in the comparative periods, which they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. Under the transition option, entities can opt to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, “Leases”, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year they adopt the new leases standard. Entities that elect this transition option will still be required to adopt the new leases standard using the modified retrospective transition method required by the standard, but they will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented. The new standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. For leases existing at, or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach.

 

We developed a cross-functional team to evaluate and implement the new guidance and we have substantially completed the implementation of a third-party software solution to facilitate compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements. The team continues to review existing lease arrangements, and has collected and loaded a significant portion of the lease portfolio into the software. Additionally, we continue to enhance our accounting systems and update business processes and controls related to the new guidance for leases. Collectively, these activities are expected to enable us to meet the new accounting and disclosure requirements upon adoption in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

 

We have elected to apply the transition requirements at the March 1, 2019, adoption date rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. This approach allows for a cumulative effect adjustment in the period of adoption, and prior periods will not be restated. In addition, we have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which does not require reassessment of prior conclusions related to contracts containing a lease, lease classification and initial direct lease costs. As an accounting policy election, we will exclude short-term leases (term of 12 months or less) from the balance sheet presentation and will account for non-lease and lease components in a contract as a single lease component for certain asset classes. We are finalizing our evaluation and we estimate the impact on our consolidated balance sheet from the recognition of ROU asset and lease liability will be material. However, the impact to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows will not be material.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). This standard revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. Under the new guidance, entities have to measure certain equity investments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for a new practicality exception. We adopted the standard effective March 1, 2018. Upon adoption, we reclassified $0.4 million of unrealized gain (net of income taxes) reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss for available for sale equity securities to beginning accumulated deficit.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new revenue recognition standard (“ASC 606”) provides a five-step analytical framework for transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the new standard effective March 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and applied it to all of our open customer contracts. The new standard did not materially affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows, but resulted in immaterial changes to the timing of recognition of revenues for certain deferred revenues.

 

Since the modified retrospective method does not result in recasting of the prior year financial statements, ASC 606 requires us to provide additional disclosures for the amount by which each financial statement line item was affected by adoption of the standard, with an explanation of the reasons for significant changes.

 

As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, our deferred product revenues and deferred product costs for the fleet management and auto vehicle finance verticals increased as balances are now amortized over the estimated average in-service lives of these devices. Deferred income tax assets and accumulated deficit increased as a result of the changes made to our deferred product revenues and deferred product costs. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 606 were as follows (in thousands):
