CITRIX SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Background
On January 31, 2017, Citrix Systems, Inc. (the "Company") completed the spin-off of its GoTo family of service offerings (the “Spin-off”) and subsequent merger of that business with LogMeIn, Inc. (the “Merger”) pursuant to a pro rata distribution to its stockholders of 100% of the shares of common stock of GetGo, Inc., or GetGo, its wholly-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the transaction, the Company transferred its GoTo Business to GetGo, and after the close of business on January 31, 2017, the Company distributed approximately 26.9 million shares of GetGo common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 20, 2017 (the “Record Date”). Immediately following the distribution, Lithium Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of LogMeIn, merged with and into GetGo, with GetGo as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, GetGo became a wholly-owned subsidiary of LogMeIn, and each share of GetGo common stock was converted into the right to receive one share of LogMeIn common stock. As a result of these transactions, the Company’s stockholders received approximately 26.9 million shares of LogMeIn common stock in the aggregate, or 0.171844291 of a share of LogMeIn common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock held of record by such stockholders on the Record Date. No fractional shares of LogMeIn were issued, and the Company’s stockholders instead received cash in lieu of any fractional shares.
The Company's revenues are derived from sales of its Workspace Services products, Networking products (formerly Delivery Networking), Data offerings (formerly Cloud) and related License updates and maintenance and Professional services. Prior to the Spin-off, the Company also derived its revenues from sales of the GoTo Business, which were delivered as cloud-based Software as a service ("SaaS"), and included Communications Cloud and Workflow Cloud service offerings. Subsequent to the Spin-off, the Company determined that it has one reportable segment. The Company identified its segment using the “management approach” which designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance. See Note 10 for more information on the Company's segments.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the CompanyCitrix Systems, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition, accounting for business combinations, income taxes and investments, each of which is described below. There have been no other significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update ("ASC 606") on revenue recognition. The new guidance creates a single, principle-based model for revenue recognition that expands and improves disclosures about revenue. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the accounting standard update for revenue from contracts with customers on a modified retrospective basis, applying the practical expedient to all contracts that the Company had not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company elected the modified retrospective method of adoption; and consequently, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new revenue standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the revenue accounting literature in effect during those periods. The Company recorded a net increase to retained earnings of $130.7 million as of January 1, 2018 as a result of the Spin-off,transition, with the impact primarily related to the cumulative effect of a decrease in deferred revenue from the upfront recognition of term licenses and the general requirement to allocate the transaction price on a relative stand-alone selling price of $99.9 million, and an increase in contract assets of $7.3 million, the cumulative effect of a decrease in commission expense of $66.4 million, partially offset by an increase from the cumulative effect of the impact on deferred income taxes of $42.9 million.
The impact of adoption of ASC 606 to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and balance sheets are as follows:

Adoption of the standard had no impact to cash from or used in operating, financing, or investing activities on the Company’s condensed consolidated cash flows statements.
Accounting for Business Combinations
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on the accounting for business combinations by clarifying the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Accounting for Income Taxes
In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on the accounting for income taxes, which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transaction occurs as opposed to deferring tax consequences and amortizing them into future periods. A modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings at the beginning of the period of adoption is required. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Accounting for Investments
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. Under the standard, equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and do not qualify for the net asset value practical expedient are eligible for the measurement alternative. For the Company’s equity investments in private equity securities, which do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company has elected the measurement alternative defined as cost, less impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. For certain of the Company’s equity investments in private equity funds, the Company has elected to use the net asset value practical expedient. The guidance of this accounting standards update was adopted effective January 1, 2018. The impact of adopting the accounting standard update was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements reflectstatements.
In February 2018, the GoTo Business operations,Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update that clarified and amended some of the updates made in the January 2016 update to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. The Company has elected to early adopt this accounting standard update effective January 1, 2018. The impact of adopting the accounting standard update was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on the accounting for leases. The new guidance requires that lessees in a leasing arrangement recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company has concluded an assessment of its systems, data and processes related to the implementation of this accounting standard. Additionally, the Company has initiated its information technology system design and solution development. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial position and results of operations; however, it is expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position due to the recognition of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Referoperating leases which are currently not reflected on the balance sheet. The Company does not expect a material impact to Note 3 for additional information regarding the Spin-off.its results of operations.


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management include the standalone selling price related to revenue recognition, the provision for doubtful accounts receivable, the provision to reduce obsolete or excess inventory to market, the provision for estimated returns, as well as sales allowances, the assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based awards, the assumptions used in the discounted cash flows to mark certain of its investments to market, the valuation of the Company’s goodwill, net realizable value of product related and other intangible assets, the fair value of convertible senior notes, the provision for lease losses, the provision for income taxes and the amortization and depreciation periods for contract acquisition costs, intangible and long-lived assets. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, the actual amounts of such items, when known, will vary from these estimates.
Available-for-sale Investments
Short-term and long-term available-for-sale investments as of June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 20162017 primarily consist of agency securities, corporate securities, municipal securities and government securities. Investments classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company classifies its available-for-sale investments as current and non-current based on their actual remaining time to maturity. The Company does not recognize changes in the fair value of its available-for-sale investments in income unless a decline in value is considered other-than-temporary in accordance with the authoritative guidance.
The Company’s investment policy is designed to limit exposure to any one issuer depending on credit quality. The Company uses information provided by third parties to adjust the carrying value of certain of its investments to fair value at the end of each period. Fair values are based on a variety of inputs and may include interest rates, known historical trades, yield curve information, benchmark data, prepayment speeds, credit quality and broker/dealer quotes. See Note 6 for investment information.
Revenue Recognition
Net revenues include the following categories: Product and licenses, SaaS, License updates and maintenance and Professional services. Product and licenses revenues primarily represent fees related to the licensing ofadditional information regarding the Company’s software and hardware appliances. These revenues are reflected net of sales allowances, cooperative advertising agreements, partner incentive programs and provisions for returns. SaaS revenues consist primarily of fees related to online service agreements, which are recognized ratably over the contract term. Should the Company charge set-up fees, they would be recognized ratably over the contract term or the expected customer life, whichever is longer. License updates and maintenance revenues consist of fees related to the Subscription Advantage program and maintenance fees, which include technical support and hardware and software maintenance. Subscription Advantage and maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is typically 12 to 24 months. The Company capitalizes certain third-party commissions related to Subscription Advantage, maintenance and support renewals. The capitalized commissions are amortized to Sales, marketing and services expense at the time the related deferred revenue is recognized as revenue. Hardware and software maintenance and support contracts are typically sold separately. Hardware maintenance includes technical support, the latest software upgrades when and if they become available, and replacement of malfunctioning appliances. Dedicated account management is available as an add-on to the program for a higher level of service. Software maintenance, including the new Customer Success Services, includes unlimited technical support, immediate access to software upgrades, enhancements and maintenance releases when and if they become available during the term of the contract and configuration and installation support along with acceleration and automation tools. Professional services revenues are comprised of fees from consulting services related to the implementation of the Company’s products and fees from product training and certification, which are recognized as the services are provided.
The Company recognizes revenue when it is earned and when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or the service has been provided and the Company has no remaining obligations; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is probable.
The majority of the Company’s product and license revenue consists of revenue from the sale of software products. Software sales generally include a perpetual license to the Company’s software and is subject to the industry specific software revenue recognition guidance. In accordance with this guidance, the Company allocates revenue to license updates related to its stand-alone software and any other undelivered elements of the arrangement based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value of each element and such amounts are deferred until the applicable delivery criteria and other revenue recognition criteria described above have been met. The balance of the revenues, net of any discounts inherent in the


arrangement, is recognized at the outset of the arrangement using the residual method as the product licenses are delivered. If management cannot objectively determine the fair value of each undelivered element based on VSOE of fair value, revenue recognition is deferred until all elements are delivered, all services have been performed, or until fair value can be objectively determined.
For hardware appliance and software transactions, the arrangement consideration is allocated to stand-alone software deliverables as a group and the non-software deliverables based on the relative selling prices using the selling price hierarchy in the revenue recognition guidance. The selling price hierarchy for a deliverable is based on its VSOE if available, third-party evidence of selling price ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price ("ESP") if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company then recognizes revenue on each deliverable in accordance with its policies for product and service revenue recognition. VSOE of selling price is based on the price charged when the element is sold separately. In determining VSOE, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling prices fall within a reasonable range based on historical discounting trends for specific products and services. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating competitor products or services in stand-alone sales to similarly situated customers. However, as the Company’s products contain a significant element of proprietary technology and its solutions offer substantially different features and functionality, the comparable pricing of products with similar functionality typically cannot be obtained. Additionally, as the Company is unable to reliably determine what competitors products’ selling prices are on a stand-alone basis, the Company is not typically able to determine TPE. The estimate of selling price is established considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices in different geographies and through different sales channels and competitor pricing strategies.
The Citrix Service Provider ("CSP") program provides subscription-based services in which the CSP partners host software services to their end users. The fees from the CSP program are recognized based on usage and as the CSP services are provided to their end users.
For the Company’s non-software transactions, it allocates the arrangement consideration based on the relative selling price of the deliverables. For the Company’s hardware appliances, it uses ESP as its selling price. For the Company’s support and services, it generally uses VSOE as its selling price. When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE for its support and services, the Company uses ESP in its allocation of arrangement consideration.
The majority of the Company's SaaS offerings are considered hosted service arrangements per the authoritative guidance.
In the normal course of business, the Company is not obligated to accept product returns from its resellers or end customers under any conditions, unless the product item is defective in manufacture. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns, as well as other sales allowances, concurrently with the recognition of revenue. The provisions are established based upon consideration of a variety of factors, including, among other things, recent and historical return rates for both specific products and distributors and the impact of any new product releases and projected economic conditions. Product returns are provided for in the condensed consolidated financial statements and have historically been within management’s expectations. Allowances for estimated product returns amounted to $0.9 million and $2.0 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company also records estimated reductions to revenue for customer programs and incentive offerings, including volume-based incentives. The Company could take actions to increase its customer incentive offerings, which could result in an incremental reduction to revenue at the time the incentive is offered.investments.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency for all of the Company’s wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries are remeasured into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are remeasured at average rates prevailing during the year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are the result of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, including U.S. dollars. The remeasurement of those foreign currency transactions is included in determining net income or loss for the period of exchange. Prior to January 1, 2015, the functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries of its former GoTo Business was the currency of the country in which each subsidiary is located. The Company translated assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and included accumulated net translation adjustments in equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. As a result of the change in functional currency, the gains and losses that were previously recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss prior to January 1, 2015 were kept constant. As a result of the Spin-off, accumulated net translation adjustments associated with the GoTo Business recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $13.4 million were reclassified to Retained earnings during the period ended June 30, 2017. See Note 3 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.



Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans for its employees and outside directors and accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which requires the Company to measure and record compensation expense in its condensed consolidated financial statements using a fair value method. See Note 8 for further information regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of the prior years' amounts have been made to conform to the current year's presentation.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company revised its presentation of revenue to align with its transition to a subscription business model as follows: (1) subscription revenue, which includes revenue from the Company's cloud services offerings and on-premise subscriptions as well as revenue from its Citrix Service Provider ("CSP") offerings; (2) product and license revenue from perpetual product and license offerings; and (3) support and services revenue for perpetual product and license offerings.


This change in manner of presentation did not affect the Company's total net revenues, total cost of net revenues or gross margin. Conforming changes have been made for all periods presented, as follows (in thousands):

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSREVENUE
On January 31, 2017,The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Company completed the Spin-offgenerates revenue.
Subscription
Subscription revenues primarily consist of cloud-hosted offerings which provide customers a right to use, or a right to access, one or more of the GoTo Business. Refer to Note 1 for additional information regardingCompany’s cloud-hosted subscription offerings, with routine customer support, as well as revenues from the Spin-off. The financial results ofCSP program and on-premise subscription software licenses. For the GoTo Business are presented as Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes inCompany’s cloud-hosted performance obligations, revenue is generally recognized on a ratable basis over the condensed consolidated statements of income. The following table presents the financial results of the GoTo Business throughcontract term beginning on the date ofthat the Spin-off forCompany's service is made available to the indicated periodscustomer, as the Company continuously provides online access to the web-based software that the customer can use at any time. The CSP program provides subscription-based services in which the CSP partners host software services to their end users.
Product and do not include corporate overhead allocations:license
Major classes of line items constituting Income (loss)Product and license revenues are primarily derived from discontinued operationsperpetual offerings related to the GoTo BusinessCompany’s Workspace Services solutions and Networking products. For performance obligations related to perpetual software license agreements, the Company determined that its licenses are functional intellectual property that are distinct as the user can benefit from the software on its own as defined under the new revenue standard.
Support and services
Support and services includes license updates, maintenance and professional services revenues. License updates and maintenance revenues are primarily comprised of software and hardware maintenance, when and if-available updates and technical support. For performance obligations related to license updates and maintenance, revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of service because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service. That is, the Company is continuously working on improving its products and pushing those updates through to the


customer, and stands ready to provide software updates on a when and if-available basis. Services revenues are comprised of fees from consulting services primarily related to the implementation of the Company’s products and fees from product training and certification.

Significant Judgments
At contract inception, the Company assesses the product or services, or bundles of products and services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract, and then evaluates whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. Products and services that are not both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue.
The standalone selling price is the price at which the Company would sell a promised product or service separately to the customer. For the majority of the Company's software licenses and hardware, CSP and on-premise subscription software licenses, the Company uses the observable price in transactions with multiple performance obligations. For the majority of the Company’s support and services, and cloud-hosted subscription offerings, the Company uses the observable price when the Company sells that support and services and cloud-hosted subscription separately to similar customers. If the standalone selling price for a performance obligation is not directly observable, the Company estimates it. The Company estimates standalone selling price by taking into consideration market conditions, economics of the offering and customers’ behavior. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and applies estimation methods consistently in similar circumstances. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised products or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company generates all of its revenues from contracts with customers.

The Company's short-term and long-term contract assets were not significant costsfor the periods presented. The Current portion of deferred revenues and the Long-term portion of deferred revenues were $1.25 billion and $512.8 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2018 and $1.24 billion and $480.9 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2018. The difference in connection with the separation of its GoTo Business. These costs relate primarily to third-party advisoryopening and consulting services, retention payments to certain employees, incremental stock-based compensation and other costs directly related to the separationclosing balances of the GoTo Business.Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company also incurred an additional $13.6 million of separation costs, which are included in discontinued operations. During theand six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016,2018, the Company incurred $40.6recognized $456.6 million and $27.8$784.7 million, respectively, of separation costs, which arerevenue that was included in discontinued operations. Duringthe deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
The Company performs its obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The timing of the Company’s performance often differs from the timing of the customer’s payment, which results in the recognition of a contract asset or a contract liability. The Company recognizes a contract asset when the Company transfers products or services to a customer and the right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The Company recognizes a contract liability when it has received consideration or an amount of consideration is due from the customer and the Company has a future obligation to transfer products or services. The Company had no asset impairment charges related to contract assets for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $0.4 million of separation costs, respectively, which are included in continuing operations. During the six months ended June 30, 20172018. 
For the Company’s software and 2016,hardware products, the timing of payment is typically upfront for its perpetual offerings and the Company’s on-premise subscriptions. Therefore, deferred revenue is created when a contract includes performance obligations such as license updates and maintenance or certain professional services that are satisfied over time. For subscription contracts, the timing of payment is typically in advance of services, and deferred revenue is created as these services are provided over time.
The majority of the Company’s contracts have an original duration of one year or less; therefore, the Company incurred $0.5 millionapplies a practical expedient to determine whether a significant financing component exists and $0.8 milliondoes not consider the effects of separation costs, respectively, which are included in continuing operations.the time value of money.

Contract acquisition costs
In conjunction with the adoption of December 31, 2016.the new standard, the Company is required to capitalize certain contract acquisition costs consisting primarily of commissions paid and related payroll taxes when contracts are signed. The asset recognized from capitalized incremental and recoverable acquisition costs is amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the products or services to which the asset relates.
The Company’s typical contracts include performance obligations related to product and licenses and support. In these

The commissions paid on annual renewals of support for product and liabilities includedlicenses are not commensurate with the initial commission. The costs allocated to product and licenses are expensed at the time of sale, when revenue for the product and functional software licenses is recognized. The costs allocated to customer support for product and licenses are amortized ratably over a period of the greater of the contract term or the average customer life, the expected period of benefit of the asset capitalized. The Company currently estimates an average customer life of three to five years, which it believes is appropriate based on consideration of the historical average customer life and the estimated useful life of the underlying product and license sold as part of discontinued operationsthe transaction.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of stock awards (calculated using the treasury stock method) during the period they were outstanding.outstanding and potential dilutive common shares from the conversion spread on the Company’s Convertible Notes and the Company's warrants.

TheFor the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of the Company's warrants, as the average stock price during the quarter was above the weighted-average warrant strike price of $95.25 per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share does not include common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's warrants. The effects of these potentially issuable shares were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock-based awards excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share were immaterial during the periods presented.
The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on its 0.500% Convertible Notes due 2019 (the “Convertible Notes”) on diluted earnings per share, if applicable, because upon conversion the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted. The conversion spread will have a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share when the average market price of the Company’s common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price. Prior to the separation of the GoTo Business on January 31, 2017, the conversion price was $90.00 per share. As a result of the Spin-off, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was re-set as of the opening of business on February 1, 2017 to 13.9061 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which corresponds to a conversion price of $71.91 per share of common stock. Similar adjustments were made to the conversion rates for the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions as of the opening of business on February 1, 2017. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the average market price of the Company's common stock exceeded the new conversion price,price; therefore, the dilutive effect of the Convertible Notes was included in the denominator of diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Convertible Notes have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive since the prior conversion price of the Convertible Notes exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect related to the warrants. See Note 11 to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for detailed information on the Convertible Notes offering.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, certain cost method investments with a combined carrying value of $2.6 million were determined to be impaired and written down to their estimated fair values of $1.2 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded $1.4 million, respectively, in impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which are included in Other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.accordingly. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, no cost method investments were determined to be impaired. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company determined that certain cost method investments were impaired and recorded a charge of $0.3 million, which was included in Other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, certain2018, there were no adjustments resulting from observable price changes to the Company’s investments in privately-held companies without a readily determinable fair value. The fair value of these investments represents a Level 3 valuation as the assumptions used in which thevaluing these investments are not directly or indirectly observable. See Note 7 for detailed information on fair value measurements.
Equity Securities Accounted for at Net Asset Value
The Company held directequity interests in certain private equity funds of $9.9 million as of June 30, 2018 which are accounted for under the net asset value practical expedient. These investments were acquired by third parties and as a result of these sales transactions the Company recorded gains of $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which wereare included in Other (expense) income, net,assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net asset value of these investments is determined using quarterly capital statements from the funds which are based on the Company’s contributions to the funds, allocation of income.profit and loss and changes in fair value of the underlying fund investments.
For 2017, the Company’s investments in privately-held companies and private equity funds were previously classified as cost method investments and were $18.6 million as of December 31, 2017. Due to the Company's adoption of the accounting standard update for the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2018, these investments are now accounted for under the new basis of accounting referenced above. See Note 2 for detailed information regarding the Company's recent accounting pronouncements.
7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The authoritative guidance defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Available-for-sale securities included in Level 2 are valued utilizing inputs obtained from an independent pricing service (the “Service”) which uses quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets. The Service applies a four level hierarchical pricing methodology to all of the Company’s fixed income securities based on the circumstances. The hierarchy starts with the highest priority pricing source, then subsequently uses inputs obtained from other third-party sources and large custodial institutions. The Service’s providers utilize a variety of inputs to determine their quoted prices. These inputs may include interest rates, known historical trades, yield curve information, benchmark data, prepayment speeds, credit quality and broker/dealer quotes. Substantially all of the Company’s available-for-sale investments are valued utilizing inputs obtained from the Service and accordingly are categorized as Level 2 in the table below. The Company periodically independently assesses the pricing obtained from the Service and historically has not adjusted the Service's pricing as a result of this assessment. Available-for-sale securities are included in Level 3 when relevant observable inputs for a security are not available.


The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. In certain instances, the inputs used to measure fair value may meet the definition of more than one level of the fair value hierarchy. The input with the lowest level priority is used to determine the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s fixed income available-for-sale security portfolio generally consists of investment grade securities from diverse issuers with a minimum credit rating of A-/A3 and a weighted-average credit rating of AA-/Aa3. The Company values these securities based on pricing from the Service, whose sources may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets


(Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value, and accordingly, the Company classifies all of its fixed income available-for-sale securities as Level 2.
The Company measures its cash flow hedges, which are classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, at fair value based on indicative prices in active markets (Level 2 inputs).
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
ForDuring the three months ended June 30, 2017, no cost method investments were determined to be impaired. During theand six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, certain cost methoddirect investments in privately-held companies with a combined carrying value of $2.6$0.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, were determined to be impaired and written down to their estimated fair values of $1.2 million.zero and $1.9 million, respectively. Accordingly, the Company recorded $1.4$0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, which are included in Other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, no cost method investments were determined to be impaired. For the six months ended June 30, 2016,2017, the Company determined that certain cost methoddirect investments in privately-held companies were impaired and recorded a chargecharges of $0.3$1.4 million, which waswere included in Other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. In determining the fair value of cost methodthe investments, the Company considers many factors including but not limited to operating performance of the investee, the amount of cash that the investee has on-hand, the ability to obtain additional financing and the overall market conditions in which the investee operates. The fair value of the cost method investments represent a Level 3 valuation as the assumptions used in valuing these investments were not directly or indirectly observable.
For certain intangible assets where the unamortized balances exceeded the undiscounted future net cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying values exceed the estimated fair values, which are based on projected discounted future net cash flows. These non-recurring fair value measurements are categorized as Level 3 significant unobservable inputs. See Note 9 to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for detailed information related to Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these items.
On November 15, 2017, the Company issued $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes due December 1, 2027 (the "2027 Notes").

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s stock-based compensation program is a long-term retention program that is intended to attract and reward talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the Company had one stock-based compensation plan under which it was granting equity awards. The Company is currently granting stock-based awards from its Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan"), which was approved at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 22, 2017. In connection with certain of the Company’s acquisitions, the Company has assumed certain plans from acquired companies. The Company’s Board of Directors has provided that no new awards will be granted under the Company’s acquired stock plans. Awards previously granted under the Company's superseded stock plans that are still outstanding typically expire between five and ten years from the date of grant and will continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of such plans, as applicable. The Company’s superseded stock plans with outstanding awards include the Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan ("2005 Plan").
Under the terms of the 2014 Plan, the Company is authorized to grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”), non-vested stock, non-vested stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), and performance units and to make stock-based awards to full and part-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates, where legally eligible to participate, as well as to consultants and non-employee directors of the Company. SARsISOs, NSOs, and ISOsSARs are not currently being granted. Currently, the 2014 Plan provides for the issuance of 46,000,000 shares of common stock. In addition, shares of common stock underlying any awards granted under the Company’s 2014 Plan or the 2005 Plan that are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) are added to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2014 Plan. Under the 2014 Plan, NSOs must be granted at exercise prices no less than fair market value on the date of grant. Non-


vestedNon-vested stock awards may be granted for such consideration in cash, other property or services, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors. Stock-based awards are generally exercisable or issuable upon vesting. The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost for awards with only service


conditions and a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. As of June 30, 20172018, there were 30,340,57522,730,247 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans including authorization under its 2014 Plan to grant stock-based awards covering 25,119,32716,956,200 shares of common stock. In connection with the completion of the Spin-off, these awards were modified as described below.

In December 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2015 ESPP”), which was approved by stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 28, 2015. Under the 2015 ESPP, all full-time and certain part-time employees of the Company are eligible to purchase common stock of the Company twice per year at the end of a six-month payment period (a “Payment Period”). During each Payment Period, eligible employees who so elect may authorize payroll deductions in an amount no less than 1% nor greater than 10% of his or her base pay for each payroll period in the Payment Period. At the end of each Payment Period, the accumulated deductions are used to purchase shares of common stock from the Company up to a maximum of 12,000 shares for any one employee during a Payment Period. Shares are purchased at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock, on either the first business day of the Payment Period or the last business day of the Payment Period, whichever is lower. Employees who, after exercising their rights to purchase shares of common stock in the 2015 ESPP, would own shares representing 5% or more of the voting power of the Company’s common stock, are ineligible to continue to participate under the 2015 ESPP. The 2015 ESPP provides for the issuance of a maximum of 16,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2017, 974,8302018, 1,512,624 shares have been issued under the 2015 ESPP. The Company recorded stock-based compensation costs related to its employee stock purchase plansthe 2015 ESPP of $1.9$2.5 million and $2.1$1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, and it recorded $3.5$5.5 million and $4.4$3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively.
The Company used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of its Employee Stock Purchase Plan2015 ESPP awards with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Six Months EndedSix Months Ended
June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016June 30, 2018 June 30, 2017
Expected volatility factor0.29

 0.5
The Company determined the expected volatility factor by considering the implied volatility in six-month market-traded options of the Company's common stock based on third partythird-party volatility quotes. The Company's decision to use implied volatility was based upon the availability of actively traded options on the Company's common stock and its assessment that implied volatility is more representative of future stock price trends than historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate was based on a U.S. Treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options. The Company's expected dividend yield input was zero as it has not historically paid nor expects in the future to pay, cash dividends on its common stock. The Company will reevaluate changes to the dividend yield in calculating the fair value of the 2015 ESPP awards for subsequent Payment Periods, subject to Board of Directors approval. The expected term is based on the term of the purchase period for grants made under the ESPP.
Modifications of Share-Based Awards
In connection with the completion of the Spin-off, the terms of the Company's existing stock-based compensation arrangements required adjustments to the number and exercise price of outstanding stock options, non-vested stock units, non-vested stock, performance units, and other share-based awards to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards immediately before and after the Spin-off. The outstanding awards continue to vest over the original vesting periods. Certain outstanding awards at the time of the Spin-off held by employees of the GoTo Business were forfeited at the time of the separation. The stock awards held as of January 31, 2017 were adjusted as follows:
The number of shares of common stock subject to each outstanding stock option was increased and the corresponding exercise price was decreased to maintain the intrinsic value of each outstanding stock option immediately before and after the Spin-off. There was no incremental expense related to this adjustment.
The number of shares of common stock underlying each outstanding non-vested stock unit and performance unit was increased to preserve the intrinsic value of such award immediately prior to the Spin-off.
The opening prices of the performance units granted in 2015 and 2016 were adjusted to reflect the value of the shares of LogMeIn stock distributed to the Company's shareholders as a result of the Spin-off. These adjustments resulted in


$6.5 million in incremental compensation expense to be recognized over the remaining vesting life of the underlying awards.

Non-vested Stock Units
Market Performance and Service Condition Stock Units
In March 2017, the Company granted senior level employees non-vested stock unit awards representing, in the aggregate, 275,148 non-vested stock units that vest based on certain target performance and service conditions. The number of non-vested stock units underlying the award will be determined within sixty days of the three-year performance period ending December 31, 2019. The attainment level under the award will be based on the Company's relative total return to stockholders over the performance period compared to a pre-established custom index group. If the Company’s relative total return to stockholders is between the 41st percentile and the 80th percentile when compared to the index companies, the number of non-vested stock units earned will be based on interpolation. The maximum number of non-vested stock units that may vest pursuant to the awards is capped at 200% of the target number of non-vested stock units set forth in the award agreement and is earned if the Company's relative total return to stockholders when compared to the index companies is at or greater than the 80th percentile. If the Company’s total return to stockholders is negative, the number of non-vested stock units earned will be no more than 100% regardless of the Company’s relative total return to stockholders compared to the index companies. If the awardee is not employed by the Company at the end of the performance period, the extent to which the awardee will vest in the award, if at all, is dependent upon the timing and character of the termination as provided in the award agreement. Each non-vested stock unit, upon vesting, represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.
In January 2016, the Company granted its former Chief Executive Officer 220,235 non-vested stock units that vest based on certain target performance conditions; and in March 2016, the Company granted senior level employees 234,816 non-vested stock units that vest based on certain target performance conditions. These awards were modified as described above as a result of the Spin-off. The attainment level under the awards will be based on the Company's compound annualized total return to stockholders over a three-year performance period, with 100% of such stock units earned if the Company achieves total shareholder return of 10% over the performance period. Further, if the Company achieves annualized total shareholder return of less than 10% during the performance period, the awardees may earn all or a portion of the target award, but not in excess of 100% of such stock units, depending upon the Company’s relative total shareholder return compared to companies listed in the S&P Computer Software Select Index. If the Company's compound annualized total shareholder return is 5% or above, the number of non-vested stock units earned will be based on interpolation, with the maximum number of non-vested stock units earned capped at 200% of the target number of non-vested stock units for a compound annualized total return to stockholders of 30% over a three-year performance period as set forth in the award agreement. Within sixty days following an interim measurement period of 18 months, the Compensation Committee will determine the number of restricted stock units that would be deemed earned based on performance to date, and up to 33% of the target award may be earned based on such performance; however, any stock units that are deemed earned will remain subject to continued service vesting until the end of the three-year performance period, or a change in control, if earlier. Within sixty days following the conclusion of the performance period, the Company’s Compensation Committee will determine the number of restricted stock units that would vest upon the final day of the performance period based on the Company’s performance during the period and in accordance with the terms of the award. On the vesting date, the greater of the full period restricted stock units, or the interim earned restricted stock units, will vest in one installment. 
The market condition requirements are reflected in the grant date fair value of the award, and the compensation expense for the award will be recognized assuming that the requisite service is rendered regardless of whether the market conditions are


achieved. The grant date fair value of the non-vested performance stock unit awards was determined through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilized multiple input variables that determined the probability of satisfying the market condition requirements applicable to each award as follows:
 March 2017 GrantMarch 2016 GrantJanuary 2016 Grant
Expected volatility factor0.27-0.32
0.29 - 0.39
0.29 - 0.37

Expected dividend yield0%0%0%
March 2017 Grant
Expected volatility factor0.27-0.32
Risk free interest rate1.48%
Expected dividend yield0%
For the March 2017 grant, the range of expected volatilities utilized was based on the historical volatilities of the Company's common stock and the average of its peer group. The Company chose to use historical volatility to value these awards because historical stock prices were used to develop the correlation coefficients between the Company and its peer group in order to model the stock price movements. The volatilities used were calculated over the most recent 2.75 year period, which is commensurate with the awards' performance period at the date of grant.grant date. The risk free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms equivalent to the performance period. The Company does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly,In addition, the Company used a dividend yield of zero in its model. The estimated fair value of each award as of the date of grant was $104.05.
For the March 2016 and January 2016 grants, the range of expected volatilities utilized was based on the historical volatilities of the Company's common stock and the average of its peer group. The Company chose to use historical volatility to value these awards because historical stock prices were used to develop the correlation coefficients between the Company and its peer group in order to model the stock price movements. The volatilities used were calculated over a three year period, which is commensurate with the awards’ performance period at the date of grant. The risk free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms equivalent to the performance period. The Company does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company used a dividend yield of zero in its model. The estimated fair value of each award as of the date of grant was $66.18 for the March 2016 grant and $49.68 for the January 2016 grant.
Service BasedService-Based Stock Units
The Company also awards senior level employees, certain other employees and new non-employee directors, non-vested stock units granted under the 2014 Plan that vest based on service. The majority of these non-vested stock unit awards generally vest 33.33% on each anniversary subsequent to the date of the award. The Company also assumes non-vested stock units in connection with certain of its acquisitions. The assumed awards have the same three yearthree-year vesting schedule. Each non-vested stock unit, upon vesting, represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company awards non-vested stock units to all of its continuing non-employee directors. These awards vest monthly in 12 equal installments based on service and, upon vesting, each stock unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.

In March 2018, the Company awarded senior level employees non-vested performance stock unit awards granted under the 2014 Plan. The number of non-vested stock units underlying the award will be determined within sixty days following completion of the performance period ending December 31, 2020 and will be based on the achievement of specific corporate financial performance goals related to subscription bookings as a percentage of total product bookings measured during the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. As defined in the applicable award agreements, total product bookings includes subscription bookings. The number of non-vested stock units issued will be based on a graduated slope, with the maximum number of non-vested stock units issuable pursuant to the award capped at 200% of the target number of non-vested stock units set forth in the award agreement. The Company is required to estimate the attainment expected to be achieved related to the defined performance goals and the number of non-vested stock units that will ultimately be awarded in order to


recognize compensation expense over the vesting period. Each non-vested stock unit, upon vesting, represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. Compensation expense will be recorded through the end of the performance period on December 31, 2020 if it is deemed probable that the performance goals will be met. If the performance goals are not met, no compensation cost will be recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost will be reversed.
On August 1, 2017, the Company awarded certain senior level employees non-vested performance stock units granted under the 2014 Plan. The number of non-vested stock units underlying each award will be determined within sixty days following completion of the performance period ending December 31, 2019 and will be based on achievement of specific corporate financial performance goals related to non-GAAP net operating margin and subscription bookings as a percent of total product bookings measured during the period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. As defined in the applicable award agreements, total product bookings includes subscription bookings. The number of non-vested stock units issued will be based on a graduated slope, with the maximum number of non-vested stock units issuable pursuant to the award capped at 200% of the target number of non-vested stock units set forth in the award agreement. The Company is required to estimate the attainment expected to be achieved related to the defined performance goals and the number of non-vested stock units that will ultimately be awarded in order to recognize compensation expense over the vesting period. Each non-vested stock unit, upon vesting, represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. The non-GAAP net operating margin and subscription bookings as a percent of total product bookings targets were set in the first quarter of 2018. As a result, such awards were not outstanding under U.S. GAAP until the first quarter of 2018 when the performance goals were determined and subsequently communicated to employees who received the awards. Compensation expense will be recorded through the end of the performance period on December 31, 2019 if it is deemed probable that the performance goals will be met. If the performance goals are not met, no compensation cost will be recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost will be reversed.
Unrecognized Compensation Related to Stock Units
As of June 30, 20172018, the total number of all non-vested stock units outstanding, including company performance awards, market performance and service condition awards and service-based awards, including service-based awards assumed in connection with acquisitions, werewas 5,152,7455,724,774. As of June 30, 20172018, there was $296.9396.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock units. The unrecognized cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.261.99 years.
Non-vested Stock
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted non-vested stock awards of 118,588 shares to its former Chief Executive Officer, with a vesting period of approximately three years from the date of grant, subject to the holder’s continued employment with the Company and accelerated vesting under certain circumstances. Non-vested stock is issued and outstanding upon grant; however, award holders are restricted from selling the shares until they vest. If the vesting conditions are not met, the award will be forfeited.Compensation expense is measured based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards. At June 30, 2017, there was $4.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards, which is expected to be recognized during the third quarter of 2017.


9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible Assets
The Company has intangible assets which were primarily acquired in conjunction with business combinations and technology purchases. Intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to seven years, except for patents, which are amortized over the lesser of their remaining life or ten years. In-process R&D is initially capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and assessed for impairment thereafter. When in-process R&D projects are completed, the corresponding amount is reclassified as an amortizable intangible asset and is amortized over the asset's estimated useful life.

The Company monitors its intangible assets for indicators of impairment. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, it will write-down the intangible asset to its fair value. For certain intangible assets where the unamortized balances exceeded the undiscounted future net cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying values exceed the estimated fair values, which are based on projected discounted future net cash flows.

11. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTESDEBT
Senior Notes

On November 15, 2017, the Company issued $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes due December 1, 2027. The 2027 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Notes is due semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2018. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $741.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. Net proceeds from this offering were used to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock through an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") transaction which the Company entered into with Citibank, N.A. (the "ASR Counterparty") on November 13, 2017. The 2027 Notes will mature on December 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Company may redeem the 2027 Notes at its option at any time in whole or from time to time in part prior to September 1, 2027 at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments under such 2027 Notes, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Among other terms, under certain circumstances, holders of the 2027 Notes may require the Company to repurchase their 2027 Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control prior to maturity for cash at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
Credit Facility
Effective January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Facility with a group of financial institutions (the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility provides for a five year revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of $250.0 million, subject to continued covenant compliance. The Company may elect to increase the revolving credit facility by up to $250.0 million if existing or new lenders provide additional revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. A portion of the revolving line of credit (i) in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million may be available for issuances of letters of credit and (ii) in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million may be available for swing line loans, as part of, not in addition to, the aggregate revolving commitments. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.10% and adjusts in the range of 1.00% to 1.30% above LIBOR based on the ratio of the Company’s total debt to its adjusted earnings before interest,


taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other items (“EBITDA”) as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.20% of the aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Facility and based on the ratio of the Company’s total debt to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA. As of June 30, 2018, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 3.5:1.0 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0:1.0. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company to grant liens, merge, dissolve or consolidate, dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, pay dividends during the existence of a default under the Credit Agreement, change its business and incur subsidiary indebtedness, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2018.
Convertible Notes Offering
During 2014, the Company completed a private placement of approximately $1.44 billion principal amount of 0.500% Convertible Notes due 2019. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $1.42 billion, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used approximately $82.6 million of the net proceeds to pay the cost of the Bond Hedges described below (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds to the Company from the Warrant Transactions described below). The Company used the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering and a portion of its existing cash and investments to purchase an aggregate of approximately $1.5 billion of its common stock, as authorized under its share repurchase program. The Company used approximately $101.0 million to purchase shares of common stock from certain purchasers of the Convertible Notes in privately negotiated transactions concurrently with the closing of the offering, and the remaining $1.4 billion to purchase additional shares of common stock through an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR")ASR which the Company entered into with Citibank, N.A. (the “ASR Counterparty”)the ASR Counterparty on April 25, 2014 (the “ASR Agreement”).
The Convertible Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture, dated as of April 30, 2014 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Convertible Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 0.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Convertible Notes will mature on April 15, 2019, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted.
The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was 11.1111is 13.9061 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which corresponds to a conversion price of $90.00$71.91 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, the issuance of certain stock dividends on common stock, the issuance of certain rights or warrants, subdivisions, combinations, distributions of capital stock, indebtedness, or assets, the payment of cash dividends and certain issuer tender or exchange offers. As a result of the Spin-off, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was adjusted under the terms of the Indenture. As a result of this adjustment, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was re-set as of the opening of business on February 1, 2017 to 13.9061 shares
The last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock perfor at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on June 30, 2018 was greater than or equal to $93.48 (130% of the conversion price) on each applicable trading day. As a result, each holder of the Company’s Convertible Notes has the right to convert any portion of its Convertible Notes (in minimum denominations of $1,000 in principal amount ofor an integral multiple thereof) during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2018. The period during which the Convertible Notes which correspondswill be eligible for conversion pursuant to a conversionthis sales price condition will terminate on September 30, 2018 unless the sales price condition is met for the calendar quarter then ended. Accordingly, as of $71.91 per shareJune 30, 2018, the Company reclassified the outstanding balance, net of common stock. Similar adjustments were madediscount, of $1.41 billion of the Convertible Notes from other liabilities to current liabilities and the difference between the face value and carrying value of $28.1 million was reclassified from stockholders’ equity to temporary equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As required by the Indenture, the Company gave notice of this sales price trigger to the trustee and the conversion rates foragent on July 2, 2018. On or after October 15, 2018 until the Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions (as defined below) as of the openingclose of business on February 1, 2017.the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes at any time, regardless of whether the sales price condition is met.
The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date and no “sinking fund” is provided for the Convertible Notes, which means that the Company is not required to periodically redeem or retire the Convertible Notes. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving the Company, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the


Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
In accounting for the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company separated the Convertible Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing


the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Convertible Notes as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount ("debt discount") is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 3.0 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
In accounting for the transaction costs related to the Convertible Note issuance, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Issuance costs attributable to the $1.4 billion liability component are being amortized to expense over the term of the Convertible Notes, and issuance costs attributable to the equity component are included along with the equity component in stockholders' equity. Additionally, a deferred tax liability of $8.2 million related to a portion of the equity component transaction costs which are deductible for tax purposes is included in Other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As a result of the structure of the Reverse Morris Trust (RMT) transaction with LogMeIn, Inc., and the notification on October 10, 2016 to noteholders in accordance with the Indenture, the Convertible Notes became convertible until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for the distribution of the outstanding shares of GetGo common stock to the Company’s stockholders by way of a pro rata dividend, and (2) the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place, even though the Convertible Notes were not otherwise convertible at December 31, 2016. The $1.44 billion Convertible Notes became convertible with the notice to noteholders. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of the Convertible Notes of $1.3 billion was reclassified from Other liabilities to Current liabilities and the difference between the face value and carrying value of $79.5 million was reclassified from stockholders’ equity to temporary equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The conversion period terminated as of the close of business on January 31, 2017 in connection with the Spin-off. As a result, the Convertible Notes were reclassified to Other liabilities from Current liabilities, and the amount previously recorded as Temporary equity was reclassified to Stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2017. See Note 3 for more information on the Company's separation of its GoTo Business.

In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions relating to approximately 16.0 million shares of common stock (the "Bond Hedges"), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch; Goldman, Sachs & Co.; Bank of America, N.A.; and Royal Bank of Canada (the “Option Counterparties”) and also entered into separate warrant transactions (the "Warrant Transactions") with each of the Option Counterparties relating to approximately 16.0 million shares of common stock. As a result of the Spin-off,spin-off of its GoTo Business, the number of shares of the Company's common stock covered by the Bond Hedges and Warrant Transactions werewas adjusted to approximately 20.0 million shares.


The Bond Hedges are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any payments in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, that the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes upon conversion of any Convertible Notes, as the case may be, in the event that the market price per share of common stock, as measured under the terms of the Bond Hedges, is greater than the strike price of the Bond Hedges, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes. The Warrant Transactions will separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of common stock, as measured under the terms of the Warrant Transactions, exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Transactions (the “Warrants”). The initial strike price of the Warrants is $120.00$95.25 per share. Subsequent to the Spin-off, the strike price of the Warrants was adjusted to a weighted-average strike price of $95.25 as of February 1, 2017. The Warrants will expire in ratable portions on a series of expiration dates commencing after the maturity of the Convertible Notes. The Bond Hedges and Warrants are not marked to market. Themarket as the value of the Bond Hedges and Warrants were initially recorded in stockholders' equity and continue to be classified within stockholders' equity. As of June 30, 2017,2018, no warrants have been exercised.
Aside from the initial payment of a premium to the Option Counterparties under the Bond Hedges, which amount is partially offset by the receipt of a premium under the Warrant Transactions, the Company is not required to make any cash payments to the Option Counterparties under the Bond Hedges and will not receive any proceeds if the Warrants are exercised.
12. CREDIT FACILITY
Effective January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Facility with a group of financial institutions (the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility provides for a five year revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of $250.0 million, subject to continued covenant compliance. The Company may elect to increase the revolving credit facility by up to $250.0 million if existing or new lenders provide additional revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. A portion of the revolving line of credit (i) in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million may be available for issuances of letters of credit and (ii) in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million may be available for swing line loans, as part of, not in addition to, the aggregate revolving commitments. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.10% and adjusts in the range of 1.00% to 1.30% above LIBOR based on the ratio of the Company’s total debt to its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other items (“EBITDA”) as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.20% of the aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Facility and based on the ratio of the Company’s total debt to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA. The weighted average interest rate for the period that amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility was 1.96%. As of June 30, 2017, there was $30.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 3.5:1.0 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0:1.0. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the ability of the Company to grant liens, merge, dissolve or consolidate, dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, pay dividends during the existence of a default under the Credit Agreement, change its business and incur subsidiary indebtedness, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2017.


13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
As of June 30, 2017,2018, the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities primarily resulted from cash flow hedges related to its forecasted operating expenses transacted in local currencies. A substantial portion of the Company’s overseas expenses are and will continue to be transacted in local currencies. To protect against fluctuations in operating expenses and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in currency exchange rates, the Company has established a program that uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to these potential changes. The terms of these instruments, and the hedged transactions to which they relate, generally do not exceed 12 months.
Generally, when the dollar is weak, foreign currency denominated expenses will be higher, and these higher expenses will be partially offset by the gains realized from the Company’s hedging contracts. Conversely, if the dollar is strong, foreign currency denominated expenses will be lower. These lower expenses will in turn be partially offset by the losses incurred from the Company’s hedging contracts. Derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The changeaccounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are initially reported as a component inof Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains orand are subsequently recognized in income when the hedged exposure is recognized in income. Gains and losses that arose from changes in market value of the effective portionfair values of derivatives that were held during the period, and gains or losses that were previously unrealized but have beenare not designated as hedges are recognized in the same line item as the forecasted transaction in current period netOther (expense) income, due to termination or maturities of derivative contracts. This reclassification has no effect on total comprehensive income or equity.net.
The total cumulative unrealized gainloss on cash flow derivative instruments was $2.42.8 million at June 30, 20172018, and is included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The total cumulative unrealized lossgain on cash flow derivative instruments was $3.1$2.2 million at December 31, 20162017, and is included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 1413 for more information related to comprehensive income. The net unrealized gainloss as of June 30, 20172018 is expected to be recognized in income over the next 12 months at the same time the hedged items are recognized in income.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments
A substantial portion of the Company’s overseas assets and liabilities are and will continue to be denominated in local currencies. To protect against fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in currency exchange rates when remeasuring the Company’s balance sheet, it utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its exposure to this potential volatility.
These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment under the authoritative guidance. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in Other (expense) income, net.

15.14. INCOME TAXES
The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates as part of the process of preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains certain strategic management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries and its foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are generally lower than in the United States.
On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) into law effective January 1, 2018. The 2017 Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. tax code by, in part but not limited to: reducing the U.S. corporate maximum tax rate from 35% to 21%, imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on certain un-repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, modifying executive compensation deduction limitations, and repealing the deduction for domestic production activities. Under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes, the Company must recognize the effects of tax law changes in the period in which the new legislation is enacted.
The SEC staff acknowledged the challenges companies face incorporating the effects of the 2017 Tax Act by their financial reporting deadlines. In response, on December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not expecthave the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to remit earnings from its foreign subsidiaries.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on the accounting of stock-based compensation to provide guidance that changes thecomplete accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The guidance requires, among other things, the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional paid-in capital pools.2017 Tax Act. The Company adopted this standardis applying the guidance in SAB 118 when accounting for the first quarterenactment-date effects of 2017. There was no material impact upon adoptionthe 2017 Tax Act. At June 30, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for all of this guidance since the recognition of income tax effects of awards wasthe 2017 Tax Act. However, the Company made what it believes to be a reasonable estimate of certain effects of the 2017 Tax Act. The Company considers all of these amounts to be provisional due to the complexity of the calculations and pending authoritative guidance. The Company will continue to evaluate the data and guidance to refine the income tax impact of the 2017 Tax Act. Pursuant to SAB 118, the Company will complete the accounting for the tax effects of all of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Act within the required measurement period not materially differentto extend beyond one year from amounts previously recordedthe enactment date.
The 2017 Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provides that an entity may make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years, or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the Company's financial statements.year the tax is incurred as a period expense only. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, the Company is still evaluating the effects of the GILTI provisions and has not yet determined its accounting policy. As of June 30, 2018, because the Company is still evaluating the GILTI provisions and our analysis of future taxable income that is subject to GILTI, the Company included federal and state


GILTI provisional amounts related to current-year operations only in its estimated annual effective tax rate and has not provided additional GILTI on deferred items.
The Company’s continuing operations effective tax rate was 4.8%18.7% and 16.1%4.8% for the three months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate when comparing the three months ended June 30, 20172018 to the three months ended June 30, 20162017 was in partprimarily due to a change infavorable tax items unique to the combination of income between the Company’s U.S. and foreign operations. The decrease was also due toperiod ended June 30, 2017, including a $9.8 million net tax benefit primarilyfor Swiss statutory purposes related to an international statutory tax transaction recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2017. foreign exchange losses.
The Company’s continuing operations effective tax rate was 23.6%11.1% and 15.9%23.6% for the six months ended June 30, 20172018 and June 30, 2016,2017, respectively. The increasedecrease in the effective tax rate when comparing the six months ended June 30, 20172018 to the six months ended June 30, 20162017 was primarilygenerally due to certain items intax charges unique to the six monthsperiod ended June 30, 2017. These amounts include a $46.1 million income tax charge to establish a valuation allowance due to a change in expectationMarch 31, 2017 because of realizability of state R&D credits arising from the separation of the GoTo Business. This charge was partially offset by an $18.5 million benefit due toBusiness and the adoption of the accounting standard update requiring recognition of incomelower U.S. corporate tax effects related to stock-based compensation when the awards vest or settle. This charge was also partially offset by a $9.8 million net tax benefit primarily related to an international statutory tax transaction.rate effective January 1, 2018.
The Company’s net unrecognized tax benefits totaled $76.1$83.2 million and $69.8$77.8 million as of June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. All amounts included in the balance at June 30, 20172018 for tax positions would affect the annual effective tax rate if recognized. The Company has $3.4accrued $4.1 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2017.2018.
The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income taxes in the United States, as well as income taxes of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax


examination.not under examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service. With few exceptions, the Company is generally not under examination for state and local income tax, or in non-U.S. jurisdictions, by tax authorities for years prior to 2013.2014.
In the ordinary course of global business, there are transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain; thus, judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. The Company provides for income taxes on transactions based on its estimate of the probable liability. The Company adjusts its provision as appropriate for changes that impact its underlying judgments. Changes that impact provision estimates include such items as jurisdictional interpretations on tax filing positions based on the results of tax audits and general tax authority rulings. Due to the evolving nature of tax rules combined with the large number of jurisdictions in which the Company operates, it is possible that the Company’s estimates of its tax liability and the realizability of its deferred tax assets could change in the future, which may result in additional tax liabilities and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
At June 30, 20172018, the Company had $176.5$106.8 million in net deferred tax assets from continuing operations.assets. The authoritative guidance requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company reviews deferred tax assets periodically for recoverability and makes estimates and judgments regarding the expected geographic sources of taxable income and gains from investments, as well as tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. If the estimates and assumptions used in the Company's determination change in the future, the Company could be required to revise its estimates of the valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets and adjust its provisions for additional income taxes.
The Company’s effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%primarily due primarily to lower tax rates on earnings generated by the Company’s foreign operations that are taxed primarily in Switzerland. The Company has not provided for U.S. taxes for those earnings because it plans to reinvest all of those earnings indefinitely outside the United States. From time to time, there may be other items that impact the Company's effective tax rate, such as the items specific to the current period discussed above.
Subsequent Event
On July 24th, 2018, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the U.S. Tax Court’s unanimous decision in Altera v. Commissioner, where the Tax Court held the Treasury regulation requiring participants in a qualified cost sharing arrangement share stock-based compensation costs to be invalid. Consequently, the Company is evaluating how the appellate decision applies to its facts and circumstances and the Company currently expects its effective tax rate will increase beginning in the period ended September 30, 2018.

15. TREASURY STOCK
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized an ongoing stock repurchase program with a total repurchase authority granted to the Company of $6.8 billion, of which $500.0 million was approved in January 2017.$8.5 billion. The Company may use the approved dollar authority to repurchase stock at any time until the approved amount is exhausted. The objective of the Company’s stock repurchase program is to improve stockholders’ returns. At June 30, 2017, $404.02018, $514.1 million was available to repurchase common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program. All shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock. A portion of the funds used to repurchase stock over the course of the program was provided by net proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering,and 2027 Notes offerings, as well as proceeds from employee stock option exercisesawards and the related tax benefit. The Company is authorized to make open market purchases of its common stock using general corporate funds through open market purchases, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in privately negotiated transactions.
In November 2017, the Company purchased $750.0 million of shares of its common stock through the ASR Agreement with the ASR Counterparty.

17.16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Company leases certain office space and equipment under various operating leases. In addition to rent, the leases require the Company to pay for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses. Certain of these leases contain stated escalation clauses while others contain renewal options. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, excluding renewal periods, unless renewal of the lease is reasonably assured.
Legal Matters
The Company accrues a liability for legal contingencies when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews these accruals and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company's views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company's accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such


determination is made. For the matters referenced below, the amount of liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated; and, therefore, accruals have not been made. In addition, in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance, for matters in which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible, the Company provides disclosure of the possible loss or range of loss. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made, however, the Company will provide disclosure to that effect.
Due to the nature of the Company's business, the Company is subject to patent infringement claims, including current litigation alleging infringement by various Company productssolutions and services. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the allegations made in its pending caseslitigation and intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits;itself; however, it is unable currently to determine the ultimate outcome of these or similar matters or the potential exposure to loss, if any. In addition, the Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the normal course of business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcomes of these cases, the Company believes that it is not reasonably possible that the ultimate outcomes will materially and adversely affect its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Guarantees
The authoritative guidance requires certain guarantees to be recorded at fair value and requires a guarantor to make disclosures, even when the likelihood of making any payments under the guarantee is remote. For those guarantees and indemnifications that do not fall within the initial recognition and measurement requirements of the authoritative guidance, the Company must continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to the guarantees and indemnifications, as required under existing generally accepted accounting principles, to identify if a loss has been incurred. If the Company determines that it is probable that a loss has been incurred, any such estimable loss would be recognized. The initial recognition and measurement requirements do not apply to the provisions contained in the majority of the Company’s software license agreements that indemnify licensees of the Company’s software from damages and costs resulting from claims alleging that the Company’s software infringes the intellectual property rights of a third party. The Company has not made material payments pursuant to these provisions. The Company has not identified any losses that are probable under these provisions and, accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability related to these indemnification provisions.
18.17. RESTRUCTURING
The Company has implemented multiple restructuring plans to reduce its cost structure, align resources with its product strategy and improve efficiency, which has resulted in workforce reductions and the consolidation of certain leased facilities.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 20172018 and June 30, 2016,2017, restructuring charges from continuing operations were comprised of the following (in thousands):

19. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on the accounting for business combinations by clarifying the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial position and results of operations.
In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on the accounting for income taxes, which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transaction occurs as opposed to deferring tax consequences and amortizing them into future periods. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings at the beginning of the period of adoption is required. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on the accounting for stock-based compensation. The guidance requires the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional paid in capital pools. The guidance also allows for the employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017. The impact of the adoption on the condensed consolidated financial statements was as follows:
Income tax accounting - The Company adopted the guidance related to the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income on a prospective basis. The Company adopted on a modified retrospective basis the recognition of previously unrecognized excess tax benefits and recorded the cumulative effect of the change as a $0.4 million increase to Retained earnings with a corresponding adjustment to Deferred tax assets, net as of January 1, 2017.
Forfeitures - The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur on a modified retrospective basis, rather than estimate expected forfeitures and recorded the cumulative effect of the change as a $5.7 million decrease to Retained earnings as of January 1, 2017 with a corresponding adjustment to Additional paid-in capital.


Cash flow presentation - The Company elected to adopt the guidance related to the presentation of excess tax benefits in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows on a prospective basis. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to any of the periods presented on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows since such cash flows have historically been presented as a financing activity.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on the accounting of leases. The new guidance requires that lessees in a leasing arrangement recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial position and results of operations, however, it is expected to have a material impact.
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update modifying the accounting for inventory. Under the new guidance, the measurement principle for inventory will change from lower of cost or market value to lower of cost and net realizable value. The standard defines net realizable value as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The standard is applicable to inventory that is accounted for under the first-in, first-out method and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update on revenue recognition. The new guidance creates a single, principle-based model for revenue recognition and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update that defers the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. The Company has completed its assessment of its information technology systems, data and processes related to the implementation of this accounting standard. Additionally, the Company has substantially completed its information technology system design and solution development, and commenced implementation of the solution in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company expects to adopt the accounting standard update on a modified retrospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, and is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its financial position and results of operations. Under the new standard the Company expects to capitalize and amortize certain commissions over the expected customer life rather than expensing them as incurred. Additionally, under the new standard, the Company would be required to recognize term license revenues upfront at time of delivery rather than ratably over the related contract period. The Company expects revenue recognition related to perpetual software, hardware, cloud offerings and professional services to remain substantially unchanged. The Company is currently evaluating and developing internal controls during implementation to ensure its portfolio of contracts are adequately evaluated. The Company's internal controls will be modified and augmented, as necessary, upon adoption of the Company’s new revenue recognition policy effective January 1, 2018.

On February 2, 2018, we entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase, or ASR, transaction with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Dealer”) to pay an aggregate of $750.0 million in exchange for the delivery of approximately 6.5 million shares of our common stock based on current market prices. The purchase price per share under the ASR was based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount.

No fractional shares of LogMeIn were issued, and our stockholders instead received cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The distribution of the shares of GetGo common stock to our stockholders also resulted in an adjustment to the conversion rate for our 0.500% Convertible Notes due 2019 under the terms of the related indenture. As a result of this adjustment, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes in effect as of the opening of business on February 1, 2017 was 13.9061 shares of Citrix common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which corresponds to a conversion price of $71.91 per share of common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base these estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for our judgments concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically evaluate these estimates and judgments based on available information and experience. Actual results could differ from our estimates under different assumptions and conditions. If actual results significantly differ from our estimates, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. For more information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, or the Annual Report, and Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report.Report, other than updates related to the adoption of the new revenue standard. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information related to revenue recognition.

Product and LicensesSubscription
Product and licensesSubscription revenue decreasedincreased for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to increased sales of our Workspace Services offerings of $19.2 million and Networking offerings of $10.1 million. Subscription revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 comparedprimarily due to increased sales of our Workspace Services offerings of $34.0 million and Networking offerings of $22.4 million. The increase in our Workspace Services and Networking offerings for both periods was primarily driven by increased customer adoption of our cloud-based solutions, as well as the upfront recognition of on-premise subscription revenue during fiscal year 2018 under the new revenue accounting guidance. See Notes 2 and 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for detailed information related to our adoption of the new revenue standard. We currently expect our Subscription revenue to increase when comparing the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2017 as customers continue to shift to our cloud-based solutions.
Product and license
Product and license revenue increased when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2018 to the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to higher sales of our perpetual Workspace Services solutions of $5.1 million, partially offset by lower sales of our perpetual Networking products of $2.1 million. Product and license revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 20162018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to lower sales of our perpetual Workspace Services solutions of $9.0 million, partially offset by an increase in sales of our perpetual Networking products.products of $2.5 million. We currently expect Product and licenseslicense revenue to decrease when comparing the third quarter of 20172018 to the third quarter of 2016.

We currently expect Software as a service revenue to increase when comparing the third quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2016.cloud-based solutions.
License UpdatesSupport and Maintenanceservices
In October 2016, we announced the launch of Customer Success Services, which replaced Software MaintenanceSupport and provides a higher standard of service that empowers customer success whether in the cloud, on-premises or in a hybrid environment through additional services providing expert guidance, proactive monitoring and enablement. In connection with this launch, beginning in 2017, our customers began migrating from the Subscription Advantage and Software Maintenance programs to this new offering.
License updates and maintenance revenue increased for the three months ended June 30, 20172018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to an increase in software maintenance revenues of $75.3 million,2017 primarily driven by increased sales of maintenance revenues across our perpetual Workspace Services solutions of $7.2 million as our customers migrate to our Customer Success Service offerings, and increased sales of maintenance


revenues for our Networking products partially offset by a decrease in our Subscription Advantage product of $51.4$2.5 million. License updatesSupport and maintenanceservices revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 20172018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to an increase in hardware and software maintenance revenues of $143.3 million,2017 primarily driven by increased sales of maintenance revenues across our perpetual Workspace Services products, partially offset by a decrease insolutions as our Subscription Advantage product of $97.2 million and our technical support of $14.2 million. These results are duecustomers migrate to our new Customer Success Services offering discussed above.Service offerings. We currently expect License updatesSupport and maintenanceservices revenue to increase when comparing the third quarter of 20172018 to the third quarter of 2016.
Professional Services
The decreases in Professional services revenue when comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were primarily due to decreased implementation services and product training and certification related to our Workspace Services solutions. We currently expect Professional services revenue to increase slightly when comparing the third quarter of 2017 to the third quarter of 2016.2017.
Deferred Revenue, Unbilled Revenue and Backlog
Deferred revenues are primarily comprised of License updatesSupport and maintenanceservices revenue from maintenance fees, which include software and hardware maintenance, technical support related to our Subscription Advantage productperpetual offerings and technical support.services revenue related to our consulting contracts. Deferred revenues also include SaaSSubscription revenue from our Content Collaboration and cloud-based subscription offerings.
Deferred revenue primarily fromconsists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized in our Data offeringscondensed consolidated balance sheet and Professional servicesstatements of income as the revenue recognition criteria are met. Unbilled revenue primarily represents future billings under our subscription agreements that have not been invoiced and, accordingly, are not recorded in accounts receivable or deferred revenue within our condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred revenue and unbilled revenue are influenced by several factors, including new business seasonality within the year, the specific timing, size and duration of customer subscription agreements, varying billing cycles of subscription agreements, and invoice timing. Fluctuations in unbilled revenue may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and the related revenue associated with these contractual commitments.

While it is generally our practice to promptly ship our consulting contracts.products upon receipt of properly finalized orders, at any given time, we have confirmed product license orders that have not shipped and are unfulfilled. We refer to those unfulfilled product license orders at the end of a given period as “product and license backlog.” As of June 30, 2018, we had product and license backlog of $37.8 million, which is primarily expected to be recognized as revenue during the third quarter of 2018. As of June 30, 2017, the amount of product and license backlog was not material. We do not believe that backlog, as of any particular date, is a reliable indicator of future performance.
Deferred revenues increased $31.5decreased $140.3 million as of June 30, 20172018 compared to December 31, 20162017 primarily from the cumulative effect from the upfront recognition of term licenses and the general requirement to allocate the transaction price on a relative stand-alone selling price of $99.9 million under the new revenue recognition guidance. See Notes 2 and 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for detailed information related to our adoption of the new revenue standard. The remainder of the decrease primarily relates to maintenance and support mostly attributable to seasonality. Unbilled revenue increased $161.8 million from June 30, 2017 to $216.7 million, primarily due to an increase in salesthe varying billing cycles of our software maintenance offerings of $163.1 millionsubscription agreements and SaaS $19.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in sales of our Subscription Advantage product of $143.4 million. We currently expect deferred revenue to increase throughout the remainder of 2017.invoice timing.
International Revenues
International revenues (sales outside the United States) accounted for 46.4% and 45.7% of our net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and 46.0% and 45.7% of our net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and 46.3% and 46.1% of our net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.respectively. The increasechange in our international revenues as a percentage of our net revenues for three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the periods presented isthree and six months ended June 30, 2017 was not significant.

Operating Expenses
Foreign Currency Impact on Operating Expenses
The functional currency for all of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. A substantial majority of our overseas operating expenses and capital purchasing activities are transacted in local currencies and are therefore subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to minimize the impact on our operating results, we generally initiate our hedging of currency exchange risks up to 12 months in advance of anticipated foreign currency expenses. WhenGenerally, when the dollar is weak, the resulting increase to foreign currency denominated expenses will be higher, and these higher expenses will be partially offset by the gain ingains realized from our hedging contracts. WhenConversely, if the dollar is strong, the resulting decrease to foreign currency denominated expenses will be lower. These lower expenses will in turn be partially offset by the loss inlosses incurred from our hedging contracts. There is a risk that there will be fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates beyond the timeframe for which we hedge our risk.

Income Taxes
We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate as part of the process of preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. We maintain certain strategic management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries and our foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are generally lower than in the United States. We do
On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) into law effective January 1, 2018. The 2017 Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. tax code by, in part but not expectlimited to: reducing the U.S. corporate maximum tax rate from 35% to remit21%, imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on certain un-repatriated earnings from ourof foreign subsidiaries.
In March 2016,subsidiaries, modifying executive compensation deduction limitations, and repealing the Financialdeduction for domestic production activities. Under Accounting Standards BoardCodification 740, Income Taxes, we must recognize the effects of tax law changes in the period in which the new legislation is enacted.

The SEC staff acknowledged the challenges companies face incorporating the effects of the 2017 Tax Act by their financial reporting deadlines. In response, on December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued an accounting standard update onStaff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the accountingapplication of stock-based compensationU.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed in reasonable detail to provide guidance that changes thecomplete accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The guidance requires, among other things, the recognition of the income tax effects of awardsthe 2017 Tax Act. We are applying the guidance in SAB 118 when accounting for the income statement whenenactment-date effects of the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional paid-in capital pools. We adopted this standard in2017 Tax Act. At June 30, 2018, we have not completed our accounting for all of the first quarter of 2017. There was no material impact upon adoption of this guidance since the recognition of income tax effects of awards wasthe 2017 Tax Act. However, we made what we believe to be a reasonable estimate of certain effects of the 2017 Tax Act. We consider all of these amounts to be provisional due to the complexity of the calculations and pending authoritative guidance. We will continue to evaluate the data and guidance to refine the income tax impact of the 2017 Tax Act. Pursuant to SAB 118, we will complete the accounting for the tax effects of all of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Act within the required measurement period not materially differentto extend beyond one year from the enactment date.
The 2017 Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provides that an entity may make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years, or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense only. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, we are still evaluating the effects of the GILTI provisions and have not yet determined our accounting policy. As of June 30, 2018, because we are still evaluating the GILTI provisions and our analysis of future taxable income that is subject to GILTI, we included federal and state GILTI provisional amounts previously recordedrelated to current-year operations only in our financial statements.estimated annual effective tax rate and have not provided additional GILTI on deferred items.
Our continuing operations effective tax rate was 4.8%18.7% and 16.1%4.8% for the three months ended June 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate when comparing the three months ended June 30, 20172018 to the three months ended June 30, 20162017 was in partprimarily due to a change infavorable tax items unique to the combination of income between our U.S. and foreign operations. The decrease was also due toperiod ended June 30, 2017 including a $9.8 million net tax benefit primarilyfor Swiss statutory purposes related to an international statutory tax transaction recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2017. foreign exchange losses.


Our continuing operations effective tax rate was 23.6%11.1% and 15.9%23.6% for the six months ended June 30, 20172018 and June 30, 2016,2017, respectively. The increasedecrease in the effective tax rate when comparing the six months ended June 30, 20172018 to the six months ended June 30, 20162017 was primarilygenerally due to certain items intax charges unique to the six monthsperiod ended June 30, 2017. These amounts include a $46.1 million income tax charge to establish a valuation allowance due to a change in expectationMarch 31, 2017 because of realizability of state R&D credits arising from the separation of the GoTo Business. This charge was partially offset by an $18.5 million benefit due toBusiness and the adoption of the accounting standard update requiring recognition of incomelower U.S. corporate tax effects related to stock-based compensation when the awards vest or settle. This charge was also partially offset by a $9.8 million net tax benefit primarily related to an international statutory tax transaction.rate effective January 1, 2018.
Our net unrecognized tax benefits totaled $76.1$83.2 million and $69.8$77.8 million as of June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 20162017, respectively. All amounts included in the balance at June 30, 20172018 for tax positions would affect the annual effective tax rate if recognized. We have $3.4$4.1 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2017.2018.
We and one or more of our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income taxes in the United States, as well as income taxes of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. We are currently not subject to a U.S. federal income tax examination.under examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service. With few exceptions, we are generally not under examination for state and local income tax, or non-U.S. jurisdictions by tax authorities for years prior to 2013.2014.
In the ordinary course of global business, there are transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain; thus, judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. We provide for income taxes on transactions based on our estimate of the probable liability. We adjust ourthe provision as appropriate for changes that impact our underlying judgments. Changes that impact provision estimates include such items as jurisdictional interpretations on tax filing positions


based on the results of tax audits and general tax authority rulings. Due to the evolving nature of tax rules combined with the large number of jurisdictions in which we operate, it is possible that our estimatesestimate of our tax liability and the realizability of our deferred tax assets could change in the future, which may result in additional tax liabilities and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
At June 30, 2017,2018, we had $176.5$106.8 million in net deferred tax assets from continuing operations.assets. The authoritative guidance requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We review deferred tax assets periodically for recoverability and makemakes estimates and judgments regarding the expected geographic sources of taxable income and gains from investments, as well as tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. If the estimates and assumptions used in our determination change in the future, we could be required to revise our estimates of the valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets and adjust our provisions for additional income taxes.
Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%primarily due primarily to lower tax rates on earnings generated by our foreign operations that are taxed primarily in Switzerland. We have not provided for U.S. taxes for those earnings because we plan to reinvest all of those earnings indefinitely outside the United States. From time to time, there may be other items that impact our effective tax rate, such as the items specific to the current period discussed above.
Subsequent Event
On July 24th, 2018, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the U.S. Tax Court’s unanimous decision in Altera v. Commissioner, where the Tax Court held the Treasury regulation requiring participants in a qualified cost sharing arrangement share stock-based compensation costs to be invalid. Consequently, we are evaluating how the appellate decision applies to our facts and circumstances and we currently expect this decision to increase our effective tax rate beginning in the period ended September 30, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we generated continuing operating cash flows of $528.0 million. These continuing operating cash flows related primarily to net income from continuing operations of $251.1 million, adjusted for, among other things, non-cash charges, stock-based compensation expense of $91.6 million, depreciation and amortization expenses of $86.3 million, the effects of exchange rate changes on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies of $6.0 million and deferred income tax expense of $5.8 million. Also contributing to these cash inflows was a change in operating assets and liabilities of $62.2 million, net of effect of our acquisitions. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of an inflow in accounts receivable of $182.5 million driven by an increase in collections from higher prior period bookings. This inflow is partially offset by an outflow in income taxes, net of $72.4 million due to decreases in income taxes payable and an increase in prepaid taxes, as well as changes in deferred revenue of $41.1 million mostly due to the upfront recognition of term licenses per the new revenue standard as well as seasonality. Our continuing investing activities provided $202.4 million of cash consisting primarily of cash received from the net proceeds from the sale of investments of $302.6 million, partially offset by cash paid for acquisitions of $66.0 million and cash paid for the purchase of property and equipment of $32.9 million. Our financing activities used cash of $820.5 million primarily due to cash paid for stock repurchases of $765.0 million and cash paid for tax withholding on vested stock awards of $49.9 million.


During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we generated continuing operating cash flows of $455.8 million. These continuing operating cash flows related primarily to net income from continuing operations of $179.2 million, adjusted for, among other things, non-cash charges, depreciation and amortization expenses of $78.4 million, stock-based compensation expense of $75.5 million and deferred income tax expense of $56.6 million. Also contributing to these cash inflows was a change in operating assets and liabilities of $45.4 million, net of effect of our acquisitions. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of an inflow in accounts receivable of $140.5 million driven by an increase in collections from higher prior period bookings and changes in deferred revenue of $26.1 million. These inflows are partially offset by changes in income taxes, net of $73.6 million mostly due to a decrease in income taxes payable and an increase in prepaid taxes, changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $20.5 million primarily due to a decrease in employee-related accruals, changes in other assets of $9.6 million due to an increase in long-term prepaid assets and changes in accounts payable of $9.3 million due to the timing of payments. Our continuing investing activities provided $48.2 million of cash consisting primarily of net proceeds from the sale of investments of $152.4 million, partially offset by cash paid for acquisitions of $60.4 million and cash paid for the purchase of property and equipment of $38.7 million. Our financing activities used cash of $561.6 million primarily due to cash paid for stock repurchases of $500.0 million, repayments on our credit facility of 95.0$95.0 million, cash paid for tax withholding on vested stock awards of $60.5 million, and the transfer of cash to the GoTo Business resulting from the separation of $28.5 million, partially offset by proceeds from the credit facility of $125.0 million.
DuringSenior Notes
On November 15, 2017, we issued $750.0 million of the six months ended2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Notes is due semi-annually on June 30, 2016,1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2018. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $741.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Net proceeds from this offering were used to repurchase shares of our common stock through an ASR transaction which we generated continuing operating cash flowsentered into with the ASR Counterparty on November 13, 2017. The 2027 Notes will mature on December 1, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. We may redeem the 2027 Notes at our option at any time in whole or from time to time in part prior to September 1, 2027 at a redemption price equal to the greater of $501.3 million. These continuing operating cash flows related primarily(a) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes to net income from continuing operationsbe redeemed and (b) the sum of $179.5 million, adjusted for, amongthe present values of the remaining scheduled payments under such 2027 Notes, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Among other things, non-cash charges, depreciation and amortization expensesterms, under certain circumstances, holders of $94.1 million and stock-based compensation expensethe 2027 Notes may require us to repurchase their 2027 Notes upon the occurrence of $74.4 million. Also contributing to these cash inflows was a change in operating assetsof control prior to maturity for cash at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and liabilities of $154.1 million, net of effect ofunpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. See Note 11 to our acquisitions. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of an inflow in accounts receivable of $163.0 million driven by an increase in collections from higher prior period bookings. Our continuing investing activities used $211.2 million of cash consisting primarily of net purchases of investments of $138.2 million, cash paidcondensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on the purchase of property and equipment of $48.7 million, and cash paid for licensing agreements and technology $24.6 million. Our financing activities used cash of $31.7 million primarily due to cash paid for tax withholding on vested stock awards of $43.8 million and cash paid for stock repurchases of $28.7 million, partially offset by the issuance of common stock under our employee stock-based compensation plans of $30.6 million.


2027 Notes.
Credit Facility
On January 7, 2015, we entered into a credit agreement or Credit Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto from time to time collectively, the Lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility for a term of five years. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we drew $125.0 million, of which we repaid $95.0 million as of as of June 30, 2017. We may elect to increase the revolving credit facility by up to $250.0 million if existing or new lenders provide additional revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to either (a) a customary London interbank offered rate formula or (b) a customary base rate formula, plus the applicable margin with respect thereto, in each case as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate for the period that amounts wereAs of June 30, 2018, there was no amount outstanding under the Credit Facility was 1.96%. As of June 30, 2017, there was $30.0 million outstanding under the credit facility.Facility.
The Credit Agreement requirescontains certain financial covenants that require us to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 3.5:1.0 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0:1.0. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, with corresponding grace periods in certain circumstances, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults, the occurrence of a change of control and bankruptcy-related defaults. The Lenders are entitled to accelerate repayment of the loans under the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the events of default. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, change our business and incur subsidiary indebtedness, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2018. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties. Please see Note 1211 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on our Credit Agreement.



Convertible Senior Notes Offering
In April 2014, we completed a private placement of $1.44 billion principal amount of 0.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019, or the Convertible Notes. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $1.42 billion (including the proceeds from the Over-Allotment Option), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the offering expenses payable by us. We used approximately $82.6 million of the net proceeds to pay the cost of certain bond hedges entered into in connection with the offering (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds to us from certain warrant transactions). Please seeSee Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details on the Convertible Notes offering and the related bond hedges and warrant transactions.
We used the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering and a portion of our existing cash and investments to purchase an aggregate of approximately $1.5 billion of our common stock under our share repurchase program. We used approximately $101.0 million to purchase shares of our common stock from certain purchasers of the Convertible Notes in privately negotiated transactions concurrently with the closing of the offering, and the remaining $1.4 billion to purchase additional shares of our common stock through an accelerated share repurchase transaction, or the ASR, which we entered into with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, on April 25, 2014.2014, and which is discussed in further detail in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.
The last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on June 30, 2018 was greater than or equal to $93.48 (130% of the conversion price) on each applicable trading day. As a result, each holder of our Convertible Notes has the structureright to convert any portion of its Convertible Notes (in minimum denominations of $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) during the Reverse Morris Trust (RMT) transaction with LogMeIn, Inc., and the notification on October 10, 2016 to noteholders in accordance with the Indenture,calendar quarter ending September 30, 2018. The period during which the Convertible Notes became convertiblewill be eligible for conversion pursuant to this sales price condition will terminate on September 30, 2018 unless the sales price condition is met for the calendar quarter then ended. On or after October 15, 2018 until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the businesssecond scheduled trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividendmaturity date, for the distributionholders of the outstanding shares of GetGo common stock to our stockholders by way of a pro rata dividend, and (2) our announcement that such distribution will not take place, even though the Convertible Notes were not otherwise convertiblemay convert their notes at December 31, 2016.
The conversion period forany time, regardless of whether the Convertible Notes that commenced on October 10, 2016 in connection with the distribution terminated as of the close of business on January 31, 2017. As a result, the Convertible Notes were reclassified to Other liabilities from Current liabilities and the amount previously recorded as Temporary equity was reclassified to Stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2017. The distribution also resulted in an adjustment to the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes under the terms of the Indenture. As a result of this adjustment, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was re-set as of the opening of business on February 1, 2017 to 13.9061 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which corresponds to a conversionsales price of $71.91 per share of common stock. Similar adjustments were made to the conversion rates for the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions as of the opening of business on February 1, 2017.condition is met.
Historically, significant portions of our cash inflows were generated by our operations. We currently expect this trend to continue throughout 2017.2018. We believe that our existing cash and investments together with cash flows expected from continuing operations will be sufficient to meet expected operating and capital expenditure requirements and service our short term debt obligations for the next 12


months. We continue to search for suitable acquisition candidates and could acquire or make investments in companies we believe are related to our strategic objectives. We could from time to time continue to seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt or equity securities for larger acquisitions, potential redemption of our Convertible Notes and for general corporate purposes.

 $(397,455)
The decrease in Cash, cash equivalents and investments when comparing June 30, 20172018 to December 31, 2016,2017, is primarily due to cash paid for stock repurchases of $500.0$765.0 million, repayments on our credit facilitycash paid for acquisitions of $95.0$66.0 million and property and equipment of $32.9 million and cash paid for tax withholding on vested stock awards of $60.5 million and cash paid for acquisitions of $60.4$49.9 million, partially offset by cash provided by our continuing operating activities of $455.8 million and proceeds from our credit facility of $125.0$528.0 million.

IfAs a result of the 2017 Tax Act, the cash, cash equivalents and investments held by our foreign subsidiaries can be repatriated without incurring any additional U.S. federal tax. Upon repatriation of these funds, we could be subject to foreign and U.S. state income taxes. The amount of taxes due is dependent on the amount and manner of the repatriation, as well as the locations from which the funds are needed for our operations in the United States, we would be required to accruerepatriated and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. Our current plans are not expected to require repatriation of cash and investments to fund our U.S. operations and, as a result, we intend to permanently reinvest our foreign earnings.received. We generally invest our cash and cash equivalents in investment grade, highly liquid securities to allow for flexibility in the event of immediate cash needs. Our short-term and long-term investments primarily consist of interest-bearing securities.
Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Available-for-sale securities included in Level 2 are valued utilizing inputs obtained from an independent pricing service, or the Service, which uses quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets. The Service applies a four level hierarchical pricing methodology to all of our fixed income securities based on the circumstances. The hierarchy starts with the highest priority pricing source, then subsequently uses inputs obtained from other third-party sources and large custodial institutions. The Service’s providers utilize a variety of inputs to determine their quoted prices. These inputs may include interest rates, known historical trades, yield curve information, benchmark data, prepayment speeds, credit quality and broker/dealer quotes. Substantially all of our available-for-sale investments are valued utilizing inputs obtained from the Service and accordingly are categorized as Level 2. We periodically independently assess the pricing obtained from the Service and historically have not adjusted the Service's pricing as a result of this assessment. Available-for-sale securities are included in Level 3 when relevant observable inputs for a security are not available.
Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. In certain instances, the inputs used to measure fair value may meet the definition of more than one level of the fair value hierarchy. The input with the lowest level priority is used to determine the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Our fixed income available-for-sale security portfolio generally consists of investment grade securities from diverse issuers with a minimum credit rating of A-/A3 and a weighted average credit rating of AA-/Aa3. We value these securities based on pricing from the Service, whose sources may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs) in determining fair value, and accordingly, we classify all of our fixed income available-for-sale securities as Level 2.


We measure our cash flow hedges, which are classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, at fair value based on indicative prices in active markets (Level 2 inputs).

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
No cost method investments were determined to be impaired during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, certain cost method investments with a combined carrying value of $2.6 million, were determined to be impaired and written down to their estimated fair values of $1.2 million. Accordingly, we recorded $1.4 million of impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2017, which are included in Other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we determined that certain cost method investments were impaired and recorded a charge of $0.3 million, which was included in Other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. In determining the fair value of cost method investments, we consider many factors including but not limited to operating performance of the investee, the amount of cash that the investee has on-hand, the ability to obtain additional financing and the overall market conditions in which the investee operates. The fair value of the cost method investments represent a Level 3 valuation as the assumptions used in valuing these investments were not directly or indirectly observable.
For certain intangible assets where the unamortized balances exceeded the undiscounted future net cash flows, we measure the amount of the impairment by calculating the amount by which the carrying values exceed the estimated fair values, which are based on projected discounted future net cash flows. These non-recurring fair value measurements are categorized as Level 3 significant unobservable inputs. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for detailed information related to Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

 $(139,891)
The decrease in Accounts receivable, net, when comparing June 30, 2017 to December 31, 2016 was primarily due to an increase in collections from prior period bookings. The activity in our Allowance for returns was comprised primarily of $4.2 million in credits issued for returns during the six months ended June 30, 2017, partially offset by $3.1 million of provisions for returns recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The activity in our Allowance for doubtful accounts was comprised primarily of $2.4 million of uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries during the six months ended June 30, 2017, partially offset by $1.7 million in provisions for doubtful accounts. From time to time, we could maintain individually significant accounts receivable balances from our distributors or customers, which are comprised of large business enterprises, governments and small and medium-sized businesses. If the financial condition of our distributors or customers deteriorates, our operating results could be adversely affected.
Stock Repurchase Programs
Our Board of Directors authorized an ongoing stock repurchase program with a total repurchase authority granted to us of $6.8 billion, of which $500.0 million was approved in January 2017.$8.5 billion. We may use the approved dollar authority to repurchase stock at any time until the approved amount is exhausted. The objective of ourthe stock repurchase program is to improve stockholders’ returns. At June 30, 2017, $404.02018, $514.1 million was available to repurchase common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program. All shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock. A portion of the funds used to repurchase stock over the course of the program was provided by net proceeds from the Convertible Notes and 2027 Notes offerings, as well as proceeds from employee stock option exercisesawards and the related tax benefit.
We are authorized to make open market purchases of our common stock using general corporate funds through open market purchases, or pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or in privately negotiated transactions.
In November 2017, we purchased $750.0 million shares of our common stock through our ASR agreement with the ASR Counterparty. We paid $750.0 million to the ASR Counterparty under the ASR agreement and received approximately 7.1 million shares of our common stock from the ASR Counterparty, which represented 80 percent of the value of the shares to be repurchased pursuant to the ASR Agreement. The total number of shares of common stock that we repurchased under the ASR Agreement was based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the term of the ASR Agreement, less a discount. Final settlement of the ASR agreement was completed in January 2018 and we received delivery of an additional 1.4 million shares of our common stock.
In February 2018, we entered into an ASR transaction with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to pay an aggregate of $750.0 million in exchange for the delivery of approximately 6.5 million shares of our common stock based on current market prices. The purchase price per share under the ASR was based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the term of the ASR, less a discount. The ASR was entered into pursuant to our existing share repurchase program. Final settlement of the ASR agreement was completed in April 2018 and we received delivery of an additional 1.6 million shares of our common stock.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we expended $15.0 million on open market purchases under the stock repurchase program, repurchasing 0.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $106.83.
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we had no open market purchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we expended approximately $500.0 million on open market purchases under the stock repurchase program, repurchasing 6,399,4996.4 million shares of outstanding common stock at an average price of $78.13.


During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we had no open market purchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we expended $28.7 million on open market purchases under the stock repurchase program, repurchasing 426,300 shares of outstanding common stock at an average price of $67.30.
Shares for Tax Withholding
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,2018, we withheld 43,44630,502 shares and 537,776 shares, respectively, from equity awards that vested, totaling $3.6$3.0 million and $49.9 million, respectively, to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations that arose on the vesting of such equity awards. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we withheld 43,446 shares and 734,600 shares, from stock units that vested, totaling $60.5 million, to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations that arose on the vesting of stock units. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we withheld 134,771 sharesrespectively, from equity awards that vested, totaling $11.0$3.6 million and $60.5 million, respectively, to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations that arose on the vesting of such equity awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we withheld 563,609 shares from stock units that vested, totaling $43.9 million, to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations that arose on the vesting of stock units. These shares are reflected as treasury stock in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and the related cash outlays do not reduce our total stock repurchase authority.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
