1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Digimarc Corporation (“Digimarc” or the “Company”), an Oregon corporation, is a global leader in product digitization and digital media identification, delivering business value across industries through unique identifiers and cloud-based solutions. Digimarc’s technology highlights a product's journey to provide greater visibility into all relevant product data, allowing companies to make more intelligent business decisions.

 

The Digimarc Illuminate Platform is a distinctive software as a service platform that combines Digimarc’s digital watermarks and/or Quick Response (“QR”) codes with product cloud technologies. By digitizing products using Digimarc’s unique digital watermarks, QR codes, and/or other digital tags, products can connect with the web and interact with consumers and digital devices.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”).

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s records without audit and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly reflect the financial condition and the results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report. The results of operations for the interim periods presented in these consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Digimarc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Digimarc acquired EVRYTHNG Limited (“EVRYTHNG”) on January 3, 2022. The financial results of EVRYTHNG are consolidated with Digimarc’s financial results for the post-acquisition period. See Note 9 for information related to the EVRYTHNG acquisition.

Business Combinations

 

The Company allocates purchase price consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is determined based on the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed, and equity interests issued, after considering any transactions that are separate from the business combination. The fair value of equity issued as part of a business combination is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date the acquisition closed. The excess of fair value of purchase price consideration over the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such fair value calculations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets and contingent liabilities. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customers, the cost to develop acquired technology, useful lives, discount rates, and customer attrition rate. 

 

The estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to revision as additional information is obtained during the measurement period for an acquisition, which may last up to one year from the acquisition date. During the measurement period, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill. After the conclusion of the measurement period or the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.

 

 

Goodwill

 

        The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually in June and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. The Company operates as a single reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of its single reporting unit using a market approach, which takes into account the Company’s market capitalization plus an estimated control premium. 

 

        In connection with the Company’s annual impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, management concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill as the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value.

 

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

 

In  June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The amendments in this update remove the thresholds that entities apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, trade receivables, reinsurance recoverables, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and held-to-maturity securities. Under current GAAP, entities generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred. The guidance removes all current recognition thresholds and introduces the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model which will require entities to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that an entity expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. The new CECL model is based upon expected losses rather than incurred losses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after  December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2023.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

 

 

2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax in “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until realized. Realized gains and losses are included in “other income (loss), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of marketable securities sold.

Cash equivalents are carried at either cost or fair value, depending on the type of security.

  

 

3. Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives its revenue primarily from software subscriptions and software development services. Applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered separately for each performance obligation as follows:

 

 

Subscription revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from subscription fees for access to the Company's software as a service platform and products and, to a lesser extent, licensing fees for software products. The majority of subscription contracts are recurring, paid in advance and recognized over the term of the subscription, which is typically one to three years.

 

 

Service revenue consists primarily of revenue earned from the performance of software development services and, to a lesser extent, professional services. The majority of software development contracts are structured as time and materials agreements. Revenue for services is generally recognized as the services are performed. Billing for services rendered generally occurs within one month after the services are provided.

 

Customer arrangements may contain multiple performance obligations such as software subscriptions, software products, software development services, and/or maintenance and support fees. The Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct. To determine the transaction price, the Company considers the terms of the contract and the Company’s customary business practices. Some contracts may contain variable consideration. In those cases, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration based on the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. As part of this assessment, the Company will evaluate whether any of the variable consideration is constrained and if it is the Company will not include it in the transaction price. The consideration is allocated between distinct products and services based on their stand-alone selling prices. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the standalone selling price based on reasonably available information, including market conditions, specific factors affecting the Company, and information about the customer. For distinct products and services, the Company typically recognizes the revenue associated with these performance obligations as they are delivered to the customer. Products and services that are not capable of being distinct are combined with other products or services until a distinct performance obligation is identified.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation includes expense charges for all stock-based awards to employees and directors. These awards include stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock units.

 

Stock-based compensation expense related to internal labor is capitalized to software and patent costs based on direct labor hours charged to capitalized software and patent costs.

 

Determining Fair Value

 

Stock Options

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant (measurement date) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award.

 

There were no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023. There were 1 stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as replacement equity awards for vested stock options held by EVRYTHNG employees.

 

Restricted Stock Awards

 

The fair value of restricted stock awards ("RSA") that vest upon meeting a service condition is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three to four years for employee grants and one to three years for director grants.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

The fair value of restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards that vest upon meeting a service condition is based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant (measurement date) and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three to four years for employee grants.

 

Performance Stock Units

 

The fair value of performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards that vest upon meeting a service condition and a performance condition, such as the Company exceeding a future annual recurring revenue target, is determined based on the probability of achievement of the performance criteria as of each reporting date (measurement dates). The probability of achievement is subject to judgment, and could change from period to period, impacting the amount of expense to be recognized. The Company recognizes the fair value of the award, after adjusting for any changes in the probability of achievement, on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three years for employee grants.

 

The fair value of PSU awards that vest upon meeting a service condition and a market condition, such as the Company exceeding shareholder returns as compared to an index of peer companies, is determined on the date of grant (measurement date) using the Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company recognizes the fair value of the award on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally three years for employee grants.

 

The following inputs are used in the Monte Carlo valuation model to estimate the fair value:

 

Stock Price. The stock price represents the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

 

Expected Volatility. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of its common stock based on historical prices over the most recent period commensurate with the term of the award.

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The Company determines the risk-free interest rate using current U.S. treasury yields for bonds with a maturity commensurate with the term of the award.
