NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: GENERAL
| | | | | |
a. | Description of Business: |
Varonis Systems, Inc. ("VSI" and together with its subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company” or "Varonis") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 3, 2004, commenced operations on January 1, 2005 and has twelve wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company's software specializes in data protection, threat detection and response, data privacy and compliance. Varonis software enables enterprises of all sizes and industries to protect data stored on-premises and in the cloud including: sensitive files and emails; confidential personal data belonging to customers, patients and employees; financial records; source code, strategic and product plans; and other intellectual property. Recognizing the complexities of securing data, the Company has built an integrated platform for security and analytics to simplify and streamline security and data management.
The Company offers coverage for more than 40 of the most mission-critical on-premises and cloud data stores and applications. Over the last two years, the Company began to offer Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") solutions to its customers, including its (i) flagship Data Security Platform as a SaaS that was previously only sold as a self-hosted solution, which offers simpler deployment, faster time-to-value, and groundbreaking new automation capabilities, (ii) DatAdvantage Cloud hosted solution that centrally monitors and protects data across multiple cloud data stores, SaaS applications and Infrastructure-as-a-Service ("IaaS") environments and (iii) Data Classification Cloud to help automatically identify sensitive information.
The Varonis Data Security Platform helps enterprises protect data against cyberattacks from both external and internal threats. The Company's products enable enterprises to analyze data, application and account activity and user behavior to detect and prevent attacks. Its software platform prevents or limits unauthorized use of sensitive information, detects and prevents potential cyberattacks and limits potential damage by automatically locking down data, allowing access to only those who need it and automating the removal of stale data when it is no longer useful. The Company's products efficiently sustain a secure state with automation and address additional important use cases including data protection, data governance, Zero Trust, compliance, data privacy, classification and threat detection and response. The Varonis Data Security Platform is driven by a proprietary technology, our Metadata Framework, that extracts critical metadata, or data about data, from an enterprise’s information technology ("IT") infrastructure. The Varonis Data Security Platform uses this contextual information to map functional relationships among employees, data objects, systems, content and usage. In doing so, the platform provides real-time intelligence about an enterprise’s massive volumes of data, making it more secure, accessible and manageable.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, “Interim Financial Statements” and the rules and regulations for Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Pursuant to those rules and regulations, the Company has condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosure it normally includes in its annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
In management’s opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly present its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s interim period operating results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year. These condensed financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the 2022 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 7, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the 2022 Form 10-K, unless otherwise stated.
The Company generates revenues primarily in the form of subscription licenses, SaaS revenues and maintenance and services fees. Subscription license revenues are sold on-premises and are comprised of time-based licenses whereby customers use the Company's software (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available) for a specified period. In the second half of 2021, the Company launched its first SaaS offering, introducing new products and
support for cloud applications and infrastructure. On October 31, 2022, the Company announced the availability of the Varonis Data Security Platform as a SaaS, which was previously only sold as a self-hosted solution. Maintenance and services primarily consist of fees for maintenance of past perpetual license sales (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available) and to a lesser extent professional services, which focus on both operationalizing the software and training its customers to fully leverage the use of the Company's products, although the user can benefit from the software without our assistance. The Company sells its products worldwide to a network of distributors and value-added resellers, and payment is typically due within 30 to 60 calendar days of the invoice date.
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” As such, the Company identifies a contract with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract and recognizes revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Subscription software that is sold on-premises is recognized at the point of time when the software license has been delivered and the benefit of the asset has transferred. Maintenance associated with subscription licenses is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement and is included within the subscriptions line of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company's SaaS offerings allow customers to use hosted software, and its revenue is recognized ratably over the associated contract period. Conversions from a license sold on-premises to the Company’s SaaS offering are accounted for on a pro-rata prospective basis.
The Company recognizes revenues from maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance contract. The term of the maintenance contract is usually one year. Renewals of maintenance contracts create new performance obligations that are satisfied over the new term with the revenues recognized ratably over the period.
Revenues from professional services consist mostly of time and material services. The performance obligations are satisfied, and revenues are recognized, when the services are provided or once the service term has expired.
The Company enters into contracts that can include combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. The license is distinct upon delivery as the customer can derive the economic benefit of the software without any professional services, updates or technical support. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price out of the total consideration of the contract. For maintenance, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the price at which it separately sells a renewal contract. For professional services, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the price at which it separately sells those services. For software licenses, the Company uses the residual approach to determine the standalone selling prices due to the lack of history of selling software license on a standalone basis and the highly variable sales price.
Trade receivables are generally recorded at the invoice amount mostly for a one-year period, net of an allowance for credit losses.
Deferred revenues represent mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for maintenance and SaaS. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. Pursuant to these contracts, customers are not invoiced for subsequent years until the annual renewal occurs. The amount of revenues recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenues balance was $96,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Revenues allocated to remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenues that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenues and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced. The Company's remaining performance obligations were $259,574 as of September 30, 2023, of which it expects to recognize approximately 62% as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
The Company does not grant a right of return to its customers, except for one of its resellers. In 2022 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no returns from this reseller.
For information regarding disaggregated revenues, refer to Note 7.
The Company pays sales commissions to sales and marketing and certain management personnel based on their attainment of certain predetermined sales goals. Sales commissions earned by employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions paid for initial contracts, which are not commensurate with sales commissions paid for renewal contracts, are capitalized and amortized over an expected period of benefit. Based on its technology, customer contracts and other factors, the Company has determined the expected period of benefit to be approximately four years. Sales commissions for renewal contracts are capitalized and then amortized on a straight-line basis. Amortization expenses related to these costs are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

e. | Derivative Instruments: |
The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative instruments is to reduce its exposure to foreign currency rate changes. The Company reduces its exposure by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts with respect to operating expenses that are forecasted to be incurred in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A majority of the Company’s revenues and operating expenditures are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, certain operating expenditures are incurred in or exposed to other currencies, primarily the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”).
The Company has established forecasted transaction currency risk management programs to protect against fluctuations in fair value and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in exchange rates. The Company’s currency risk management program includes forward foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges. These forward foreign exchange contracts generally mature within 12 months. Over the last several quarters, the Company has closed forward foreign exchange contracts beyond 12 months to capitalize on more favorable rates. In addition, the Company enters into forward contracts to hedge a portion of its monetary items in the balance sheet, such as trade receivables and payables, denominated in Euro and Pound Sterling for short-term periods (the “Fair Value Hedging Program”). The purpose of the Fair Value Hedging Program is to protect the fair value of the monetary assets from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Gains and losses from derivatives related to the Fair Value Hedging Program are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Derivative instruments measured at fair value and their classification on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented in the following table (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Assets (liabilities) as of September 30, 2023 (unaudited) | | Liabilities as of December 31, 2022 |

Foreign exchange forward contract derivatives for monetary items included in accrued expenses and other short-term liabilities | $ | 16,418 | | | $ | (40) | | | $ | 32,066 | | | $ | (226) | |
The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect a loss of $3,546 and $9,496 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related to the effective portion of the cash flow hedges and a loss of $1,512 and $1,385 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. No material ineffective hedges were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 in operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect a gain of $584 and $429, respectively, in financial income, net, related to the Fair Value Hedging Program. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect a gain of $928 and $3,488, respectively, in financial income, net, related to the Fair Value Hedging Program.
The Company operates in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions and is subject to taxes in each country or jurisdiction in which it conducts business. Earnings from its non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may be subject to U.S. income tax.
Because of its history of operating losses, the Company has established a full valuation allowance against potential future benefits for deferred tax assets, including loss carryforwards.
Accounting for income taxes for interim periods generally requires the provision for income taxes to be determined by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 a discrete effective tax rate method was used in jurisdictions where a small change in estimated ordinary income has a significant impact on the annual effective tax rate.
In some foreign tax jurisdictions, the Company bases its interim tax accruals on the annual estimated effective tax rate applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, adjusted for items which are considered discrete to the period. In each quarter, the Company updates its calculation and makes a year-to-date adjustment to its tax provision as necessary.
The Company's fiscal 2023 annual effective rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to R&D capitalization under the terms of Section 174 and utilization of carry forward net operating loss (“NOL”) and research and development tax credits resulting in an increase to current provision expense without an offset to deferred expense as the Company remains in a valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2,504 and $5,566, respectively, and $12,911 and $8,678 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company's income tax provision could be significantly impacted by estimates surrounding its uncertain tax positions and changes to its valuation allowance. The Company reevaluates the judgments surrounding its estimates and make adjustments as appropriate each reporting period.
The Company remains open to federal and state examination to the extent net carry-over unused operating losses and tax credit attributable to those years remain unutilized. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's federal tax returns for the years 2010 through the current period, excluding the 2016 tax year which was audited by the Internal Revenue Service, and most state tax returns for the years 2009 through the current period, are still open to examination.
In addition, the Company is subject to the regular examinations of its income tax returns by different tax authorities. The Company regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.

g. | Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Short-Term Investments: |
The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities in accordance with ASC No. 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities” and ASC No. 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses.” The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, highly liquid investments in money market funds and other securities.
The Company considers all investments purchased with original maturities at the date of purchase greater than three months but less than one year to be short-term. Investments purchased with original maturities at the date of purchase greater than one year are classified as long-term assets. Marketable securities are classified as available for sale and are, therefore, recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, with any unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, until realized. The Company uses the specific identification method to compute gains and losses on
the investments. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included as a component of financial income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and deposits consist of the following (in thousands):

Unrealized losses associated with investments in available for sale securities have all been in a continuous unrealized loss position of less than one year as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The gross unrealized gains and losses related to these investments were due primarily to changes in interest rates. Available for sale debt securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed using the credit losses model for marketable securities to determine what portion of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on available for sale debt securities are recognized in financial income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on available for sale marketable securities.
| | | | | |
h. | Revolving Credit Facility: |
On August 21, 2020, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement with KeyBank National Association (the “Credit and Security Agreement”), for a three-year secured revolving credit facility of $70,000 (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matured on August 21, 2023 and was not subsequently renewed. The fees incurred in connection with entering into the Credit and Security Agreement were amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the arrangement. Fees and interest paid were expensed as incurred and included within financial income, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
| | | | | |
i. | Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share: |
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and the shares related to the conversion of the 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes issued by the Company on May 11, 2020 and due August 2025 in an aggregate principal amount of $253,000 (the "2025 Notes"), to the extent dilutive.
Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. There were 9,012,612 and 8,815,124 potentially dilutive shares from the conversion of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units that were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the period ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additionally, 8,239,254 shares underlying the conversion option of the 2025 Notes are not considered in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive for the period ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
| | | | | |
j. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: |
The Company has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to its business or that no material effect is expected on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of their future adoption.
NOTE 2: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level to classify them for each reporting period. There have been no transfers between fair value measurements levels during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, short-term deposits and trade payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
•Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
•Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

See Note 5 “Convertible Senior Notes and Capped Call Transactions” for the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's 2025 Notes as of September 30, 2023.
NOTE 3: LEASES
The Company has various operating leases for office space, vehicles and office equipment that expire through 2032. The lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Below is a summary of the Company's operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities (in thousands):
| | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2023 | | |
| (unaudited) | | |
Operating right-of-use assets | $ | 52,679 | | | |
| | | |
Operating lease liabilities, current | $ | (9,581) | | | |
Operating lease liabilities, long-term | (51,433) | | | |
Total operating lease liabilities | $ | (61,014) | | | |
Operating lease liabilities, current are included within accrued expenses and other short-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Some leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company's sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options, and, when it is reasonably certain of exercise, it will include the renewal period in its lease term. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities.
Some of the real estate leases contain variable lease payments, including payments based on a Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Variable lease payments based on a CPI are initially measured using the index in effect at lease adoption. Additional payments based on the change in a CPI are recorded as a period expense when incurred.
The Company has deposit guarantees issued by a financial institution to secure various operating lease agreements in connection with its office space.
Minimum lease payments for the Company's right-of-use assets over the remaining lease periods as of September 30, 2023, are as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | |
| September 30, 2023 |
| (unaudited) |
2023 | $ | 2,863 | |
2024 | 11,169 | |

Total undiscounted lease payments | $ | 66,499 | |
| |
Less: Imputed interest | (5,485) | |
Present value of lease liabilities | $ | 61,014 | |
The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all operating leases were as follows as of September 30, 2023: | | | | | |
Remaining lease term and discount rate: | |
Weighted average remaining lease term (years) | 6.65 |
| |
Weighted average discount rate | 2.85 | % |
Total operating lease cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2,530 and $7,232, respectively, inclusive of sublease income of $435 and $1,336, respectively. Total operating lease cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2,386 and $6,986, respectively, inclusive of sublease income of $184 and $482, respectively.
NOTE 4: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. The Company believes the goodwill represents the synergies expected from expanded market opportunities when integrating with its offerings.
There were no additions, impairments or any other changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or during prior periods.
Intangible Assets
Total cost and amortization of intangible assets is comprised of the following (in thousands, except useful life):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Estimated Useful Life | | September 30, 2023 | | |
Intangible assets, net | (in years) | | (unaudited) | | |

Total intangible assets | | | 6,110 | | | |
Less: Accumulated amortization | | | 4,466 | | | |
Total intangible assets, net | | | $ | 1,644 | | | |
Intangible assets are expensed on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset. The Company recorded amortization expense of $382 and $1,144 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The following table summarizes estimated future amortization expense of our intangible assets as of September 30, 2023 (in thousands): | | | | | |
Years ending December 31, | Amount (unaudited) |
2023 | $ | 381 | |
2024 | 1,263 | |
Total future amortization expense | $ | 1,644 | |
NOTE 5: CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES AND CAPPED CALL TRANSACTIONS
On May 11, 2020, the Company issued the 2025 Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated May 11, 2020 (the “Indenture”). The offering totaled $253,000 aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds to the Company after the initial purchaser discount and issuance costs were approximately $245,158. The Company used $29,348 of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below.
The 2025 Notes will mature on August 15, 2025, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, at a rate of 1.25% per year.
The initial conversion rate for the 2025 Notes is 32.5668 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.71 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in specified events. The 2025 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of a holder, prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2025, under certain conditions. In addition, on or after February 15, 2025, a holder may convert all or any portion of its 2025 Notes at any time.
The 2025 Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to August 20, 2023. On or after August 20, 2023, the Company may redeem the 2025 Notes for cash, at its option, subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, the Company separated the 2025 Notes into liability and equity components. Following the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, which the Company elected to adopt using a modified retrospective approach, the Company no longer separates the 2025 Notes into liability and equity components. The cumulative effect of the accounting change as of January 1, 2022 was a decrease to accumulated deficit of $8,647, a decrease in additional paid-in capital of $30,794 and an increase in liabilities of $22,147 on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes was approximately $295,848 and $260,749, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the closing trading price per $100 of the 2025 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. The fair value of the 2025 Notes is primarily affected by the trading price of our common stock and market interest rates. The fair value of the 2025 Notes is considered a Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, quoted price of the 2025 Notes in an over-the-counter market.
Capped Call Transactions
In May 2020, in connection with the pricing of the 2025 Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”). The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 2025 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2025 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $47.24 (the "Cap Price").
The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions and are not part of the terms of the 2025 Notes and will not change the holders’ rights under the 2025 Notes. As the Capped Call Transactions are considered indexed to the Company's stock and are considered equity classified, they are recorded in stockholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions was approximately $29,348 and was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in 2020.
