2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. The March 31, 2020 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet dataAccordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in this document were derived from auditedour annual consolidated financial statements and does not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP.prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20202021, and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2020 annual report2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K ("Form 10-K"). There have beenwere no material changes induring the three months ended June 30, 2021, to our significant accounting policies as described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 during the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, except for the accounting policies described below that were updated as a result of adopting Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-03, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, further amended by various ASUs and ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods or the entire fiscal year.2021.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company conducts its operations through 1one reportable segment.
In the opinion of the Company's management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending March 31, 2022.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.date. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to allowance for credit losses, returns reserve for expected customer credits or cancellations, fair value of and/or evaluation for impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, capitalization of internally developed software, benefit period for deferred sales commission costs, stock-based compensation expense, incremental borrowingdiscount rate used to calculate operating lease liabilities, income and sales tax liabilities, fair value of convertible senior notes, litigation, and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on known facts and circumstances, historical experience, and various other assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
RECLASSIFICATIONS AND OTHER CHANGES
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company determined that presenting service revenue as revenue from the Company's core communication services would provide transparency and clarity to the users of the financial statements. As such, the Company reclassified certain revenue and cost of revenue on its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019. Professional services revenue and cost of professional services revenue previously reported in service revenue and cost of service revenue are now reported in other revenue and cost of other revenue. Product revenue and cost of product revenue are also now reported in other revenue and cost of other revenue. The reclassifications did not have any impact on total revenue, consolidated net loss, or cash flows.
10

In addition, certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaces the existing impairment model with a forward-looking expected loss method. Under this update, on initial recognition and at each reporting period, an entity is required to recognize an allowance that reflects the entity's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument. For trade receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, an entity is required to use a forward-looking expected loss model to recognize credit losses that are probable. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis as of April 1, 2020 through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Company's beginning accumulated deficit balance; the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers, and external market factors, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which makes modifications to disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on April 1, 2020, and the impact of the adoption was immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis effective April 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which enhancesenhanced and simplifiessimplified various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The amendment will bewas effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, which is fiscal 2022 for the Company; earlyCompany. The adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its consolidatedguidance in the first quarter of the Company's fiscal 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, which is fiscal 2023 for the Company; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company may be involved in various claims, lawsuits, investigations and other legal proceedings, including intellectual property, commercial, regulatory compliance, securities and employment matters that arise in the normal course of business. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information to determine whether any accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required. Actual claims could settle or be adjudicated against the Company in the future for materially different amounts than the Company has accrued due to the inherently unpredictable nature of litigation. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such lawsuits and claims and proceedings as of June 30, 2021. The Company believes that damage amounts claimed in these matters are not meaningful indicators of potential liability. Some of the matters pending against the Company involve potential compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims or sanctions, that, if granted, could require the Company to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Given the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of the ongoing matters described herein cannot be predicted, and the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, the Consolidated Financial Statements could be materially adversely affected in a particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

Other Commitments, Indemnifications, and Contingencies
State and Local Taxes and Surcharges. From time to time, the Company receiveshas received inquiries from federal and variousa number of state and municipallocal taxing agencies with respect to the remittance of sales, use, telecommunications, excise, payroll, and income taxes. Several jurisdictions currently are currently conducting tax audits of the Company's records. The Company collects from its customers or has accrued for taxes that it believes are required to be remitted. The amounts that have been remitted have historically been within the accruals established by the Company. The Company adjusts its accrued taxesaccrual when facts relating to specific exposures warrant such adjustment. TheDuring the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company continues to conductconducted a periodic review of the taxability of certain of its services and determined that certain services may be subject to sales, use, telecommunications or other similar indirect taxes in certain jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Company recorded contingent indirect tax liabilities. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and March 31, 2020,2021, the Company had accrued contingent indirect tax liabilities of $4.5 million.
Legal Proceedings
The Company, from time to time, may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations$2.8 million and other proceedings, including patent infringement claims, employment litigation, regulatory compliance matters and contractual disputes, that can arise in the normal course of the Company's operations. The Company accrues a liability when management believes information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts its accruals to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company does not have any material provisions for any such lawsuits, claims and proceedings and believes it is not probable that a loss had been incurred. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. While there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Future litigation could be costly to defend, could impose significant burdens on employees and cause the diversion of management's attention, and could upon resolution have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.$3.1 million, respectively.
9.8. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES AND CAPPED CALLCALLS
Convertible Senior Notes
In February 2019, the Company issued $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% convertible senior notes (the "Initial Notes") due 2024 in a private placement, including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional notes. The Initial Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2019. The Initial Notes will mature on February 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted.

due 2024 issued in February 2019 in the aggregate principal amount of $287.5 million.Initial Notes. Immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Additional Notes, the Company hashad $362.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on FebruaryAugust 1, 2020.2019. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted.
Each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes areis initially convertible into 38.9484 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $25.68 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or following the Company's issuance of a notice of redemption, in each case as described in the Indenture, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.
ThePrior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 1, 2023, the Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances:
1.At any time during any calendar quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2019 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for at certain timesleast 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
2.During the 5 business day period immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (the measurement period), if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock on each such trading day and uponthe conversion rate on each such trading day;
3.If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
4.Upon the occurrence of certainspecified corporate events (as set forth in the future. Further, onindenture governing the Notes).
On or after October 1, 2023, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, 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. The Company’s current intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion. During the sixthree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert were not met.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to February 4, 2022. On or after February 4, 2022, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes, at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the last reported sale price of the common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a redemption notice. If a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) occurs at any time, holders of Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes,Notes; equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated,subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness,indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of current or future subsidiaries of the Company.

Capped Call
In connection with the pricing of the Initial Notes and Additional Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions ("Capped Calls") with certain counterparties. The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of approximately $25.68 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes. The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $39.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are expected to partially offset the potential dilution to the Company’s Common Stock upon any conversion of the Notes, with such offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Capped Calls are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified extraordinary events affecting the Company, including merger events, tender offers, and announcement events. In addition, the Capped Calls are subject to certain specified additional disruption events that may give rise to a termination of the Capped Calls, including nationalization, insolvency or delisting, changes in law, failures to deliver, insolvency filings, and hedging disruptions. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders' equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $33.7 million incurred to purchase the Capped Calls in connection with the Initial Notes and $9.3 million in connection with the Additional Notes were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and will not be remeasured.

Performance Stock Units (PSUs)
The Company has granted PSUs to certain of its executives with vesting that is contingent on continued service and either Company or market performance. PSUs issued in June 2021 consist of three tranches: the first tranche vests on the 1st anniversary and is based on the Non-GAAP Gross Profit of the Company; the remaining two tranches vest on the 2nd and 3rd anniversaries, respectively, and are based on the Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") of the Company, as measured relative to a specified market index during the specified periods. For the first tranche, a range of 90% to 110% attainment of the target Non-GAAP Gross Profit over the vesting period will result in a range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares being earned. For the awards based on TSR, a 2x multiplier will be applied for each percentage point of positive or negative relative TSR over the specified vesting periods, such that the number of shares of common stock earned will increase or decrease by 2% of the target number of shares, subject to a maximum of 200% of the target number of shares. In the event that the Company’s relative TSR performance is less than negative 30%, relative to the specified index, 0 shares will be earned for the applicable performance period. The amount of compensation expense is based on how many shares are probable to be earned for the applicable performance period.
The first tranche was valued at $25.78 per share based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.
The second and third tranches were valued at $33.32 and $34.48, respectively, per share as determined by Monte Carlo simulations using a volatility factor of 58.7% and a risk-free rate of 0.3%.

In July 2020, 329,430 shares were purchased and issued under the ESPP. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there was approximately $0.6 million of unrecognized cost related to employee stock purchases. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.1 years. As of June 30, 2021, a total of $2.9 million of unrecognized compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.57 years. As of September 30, 2020, a total of 3,252,8822,865,669 shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.
Salary and Bonus Stock Program
In March 2021, the Company offered its employees an opportunity to receive a portion of their base cash salary and/or cash bonus for fiscal 2022 in shares of the Company's common stock. Participants that choose to receive stock in place of base cash salary will be subject to reduced cash payroll starting July 2021 through March 2022. The number of shares received by the employee is based on the lower of the closing price of the common stock as of one of two specified look-back dates.
The estimated fair value of the shares issued has two components: 1) the value of the base cash salary and/or cash bonus opted to be received as shares, and 2) the grant date fair value of the look-back feature. The estimated fair value of the stock awards will be recognized in stock based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the participants, which may differ from the period in which their original cash compensation is earned. The look-back features are valued as options using the Black-Scholes model, applied to the total number of shares would have been granted under the program based on the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.
The following table presents the estimated fair value on the date of grant of each of the look-back features and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model:
Fair value of look-back options$4.64-$8.24
Valuation assumptions:
Expected volatility58.7%
Risk-free interest rates0.06 %-0.07%
Expected terms (in years)0.38-1.21
Dividend rate0%
The risk-free rates were determined based on published treasury rates over terms consistent with those of the share exchange program. The volatility rate was determined based on historic volatility of the Company's stock and is consistent with the rate used for valuation of the PSU awards granted in June 2021.
As of June 30, 2021, there was $8.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock exchange program.
Stock Repurchases
In May 2017, the Company's board of directors authorized the 2017 Repurchase Plan under which the Company could purchase up to $25.0 million of its common stock. The remaining amount available at September 30, 2020 was approximately $7.1 million. There were 0 stock repurchases during the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019.June 30, 2020.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As discussed in the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly those set forth under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 as modified by those in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 on Form 10-Q under the heading "Risk Factors."2021.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a leading software-as-a-service ("SaaS") provider of voice, video, chat, contact center, and enterprise-class application programming interfacesinterface ("API") solutions powered by one global cloud communications platform. From our proprietary cloud technology platform, organizations across all their locations and employees globally have access to unified communications, team collaboration, video conferencing, contact center, data and analytics, communication APIs, and other services, enabling them to be more productive and responsive to their customers.
Our customers rangerepresent companies ranging from small businesses to large multinational enterprises, and their users are spread across more than 150 countries. In recent years, we have increased our focus on the mid-market (which we define as customers that generate $25K to $100K ARR) and enterprise (which we define as customers that generate more than $100K ARR) customer categories. See “Key Business Metrics” section below for our definition and discussion of ARR.
We have a portfolio of cloud-basedSaaS offerings that are subscription based, made available at different rates varying by the specific functionalities, services, and number of users. We generate service revenue from subscriptions to our communication services subscriptions andas well as from our customer's usage of certain of our platform usage.services. We generate other revenues from the sales and rentals of office phones and other hardware equipment, and professional services. We define a “customer” as one or more legal entities to which we provide services pursuant to a single contractual arrangement. In some cases, we may have multiple billing relationships with a single customer (for example, where we establish separate billing accounts for a parent company and each of its subsidiaries).
Our flagship service is our 8x8 X Series, a next generation suite of unified communications as a service ("UCaaS") and contact center as a service ("CCaaS") solutions, which consist of service plans of increasing functionality designated X1, X2, etc., through X8. With 8x8 X Series, we provide enterprise-grade voice, unified communications, video meetings, team collaboration, and contact center functionalities from a single platform. The continued increase in demand for an integrated UCaaS and CCaaS solution led us to introduce eXperience Communications as a Service ("XCaaS"), a deployment model that erases boundaries between UCaaS and CCaaS, delivered through our differentiated single platform.
We also offer standalone SaaS services for contact center and video meetings andas well as enterprise communication APIs. ThroughAPIs for SMS, messaging, voice, and video APIs through our July 2019 acquisition of Wavecell Pte. Ltd., an Asia-based global communicationcommunications platform as a service ("CPaaS") provider of SMS, messaging, voice and video APIs to enterprises, we expanded our API offerings both geographically and functionally.. We expect to continue integratingdeveloping and enhancing these services intoon our platform, as we believe in the value of the collective solutions.
As of September 30, 2020, over 90% of our customer base has been migrated to the 8x8 X Series platform and we intend to migrate the remaining customer base through the end of the fiscal year. These migrations may require us to incur professional services and related engineering costs. While we may not be able to recover these costs from our customers, we believe that we will realize other benefits including reducing the number of platforms that we are required to support and improved customer retention.

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
In the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2021,2022, our total service revenue grew 19.3%approximately 21% year-over-year to $120.9$137.8 million. We continued to show an increase in our average annualized service revenue per customer,total ARR, which grew to $8,052$536 million in the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2021, compared with $7,9572022, from $432 million in the same period ofin fiscal 2020, as we are selling more2021, driven by the growth in sales to mid-market and enterprise customers.

In the remainder of fiscal 2021, weWe plan to continue making investments in activities to acquire more customers, including global expansion and investing in our direct marketing efforts, internal and field sales force, e-commerce,capacity, and outbound marketing efforts.research and development. We also intend to continue investing in our indirect channel programs to acquire more third-party selling agents to help sell our solutions, including investments in our value added resellers ("VARs") and master agent programs. Should these upfront investments not result in additional revenue from new or existing customers, including as result of adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and/or these cost reduction and efficiency efforts do not result in meaningful savings, our operating results may be adversely impacted.
IMPACTS OF COVID-19
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results willcontinues to depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including those set forth under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 as modified by the "Risk Factors" section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.2021. In an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19 or slowand its spread,variants, governments around the world have enacted various measures, some of which have been subsequently rescinded, modified or reinstated, including orders to close at times non-essential businesses, isolate residents to their homes, and practice social distancing. To protect the health and safety of our employees, our workforce continues to spend ahas spent significant amount of time working from home with many of our offices around the world remaining closed and travel beinghas been curtailed for our employees as well as our customers as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to surge and retreat in various locations globally, and the availability and reliability of testing remains inconsistent. These restrictions have altered the ways we conduct sales activities and market to current and prospective customers and how we conduct our ongoing business operations, resulting in reductions in travel related expenses and, by some measures, has resulted in improved employee productivity in certain areas. Small business and mid-size customers have been more impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic than enterprise customers, which has necessitated greater flexibility and responsiveness to our customers evolving needs.customers.

Our management uses trends in ARR to determine whether risksassess our on-going operations, allocate resources, and drive the financial performance of lossthe business. We define Annualized Recurring Subscriptions and Usage, or ARR, as equal to the sum of the most recent month of (i) recurring subscription amounts and (ii) platform usage charges for all CPaaS customers (subject to a minimum billings threshold for a period of at least six consecutive months), multiplied by 12. We are not aware of any uniform standards for calculating ARR and caution that our presentation may not be consistent with that of other negative impacts uponcompanies.

We estimateThere was not a material change to our annual effective tax rate atProvision for income taxes for the end of each quarter. In estimatingthree months ended June 30, 2021 and no material changes are anticipated for the annual effective tax rate, we consider, among other things, annual pre-tax income, permanent tax differences, the geographic mix of pre-tax income and the application and interpretations of existing tax laws. We record the tax effect of certain discrete items, which are unusual or occur infrequently, in the interim period in which they occur, including changes in judgment about deferred tax valuation allowances. The determination of the effective tax rate reflects tax expense and benefit generated in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions. However, jurisdictions with a year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the annual effective tax rate.foreseeable future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had $159.4$153.2 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments. In addition, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had restricted cash including $8.6 million in restricted cash in support of letterletters of creditscredit securing leases for office facilities and $6.9 million held in escrow for our acquisitionfacilities. As of Wavecell in July 2019, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, $3.5 million of restricted cash was released, and the remaining amount of $6.9 million held in escrow for our acquisition of Wavecell is due to be released in January 2021. By comparison, at March 31, 2020,2021, we had $186.9$152.9 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments as well as $19.0and $8.6 million of restricted cash.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was passed into law, which amended portions of relevant tax laws and provided relief to certain qualifying entities. In connection with the CARES Act, the Company elected to defer certain employer payroll taxes, which is expected to reducereduced cash usage by over $4approximately $5.0 million throughout fiscal 2021. The amounts deferredthrough March 31, 2021, of which approximately $2.5 million will be remitted to tax authorities during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and the remaining amount due will be remitted in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, respectively, when they become due. Other jurisdictions around the world have also provided similar tax relief, which the Company has elected to receive, where applicable; these benefits have a lesser impact to our expected cash flows during fiscal 2021.2023.
In June 2020,March 2021, the Company offered its employees a limited opportunity to receive a portion of their fiscal 2022 cash salary and/or cash bonus in shares of the Company's common stock. Based on employee elected participation, we expect lower cash usage from payroll compensation of over $4 million during the remainder of fiscal 2021. Currently,2022 and approximately $4 million during the Company does not expect to offer this program beyond fiscal 2021. In addition, for fiscal 2021, the Company's executives received performance share units in place of a cash bonus plan. The timing of bonus payments for all other eligible employees was changed to semi-annually (in the third and first quarter of each fiscal year) from quarterly as in prior fiscal years. 2023.
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances, and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES & ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our 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, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
With the exception of changes described within Part I, Item 1, Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", due to the adoption of ASU 2016-03, thereThere have been no significant changes during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021, to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk
We had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments totaling $175.0$161.9 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. Cash equivalents and investments were invested primarily in money market funds, U.S. treasury, commercial paper, and corporate bonds. Our investment policy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity needs. Under the policy, we invest in highly rated securities, while limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer other than the U.S. government. We do not invest in financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. We utilize external investment managers who adhere to the guidelines of our investment policy. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on the value of our cash, cash equivalents, or available-for-sale investments.
TheAs of June 30, 2021, the Company issuedhad $362.5 million or aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes ofoutstanding, which thehad an estimated fair value as of September 30, 2020 was $336.7$450.7 million. The fair value of the convertible senior notes is subject to interest rate risk, market risk, and other factors due to the conversion feature. The fair value of the convertible senior notes will generally increase as our common stock price increases and will generally decrease as our common stock price declines. The interest and market value changes affect the fair value of the convertible senior notes but do not impact our financial position, cash flows, or results

of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligation. Additionally, we carry the convertible senior notes at face value less unamortized discount on our consolidated balance sheets, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the British Pound, causing both our revenue and our operating results to be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates.
Gains or losses from the revaluation of certain cash balances, accounts receivable balances, and intercompany balances that are denominated in these currencies impact our net income (loss). A hypothetical decrease in all foreign currencies against the US dollar of 10% would not result in a material foreign currency loss on foreign-denominated balances at Septemberfor the three months ended June 30, 2020.2021. As

our foreign operations expand, our results may be more impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business.
At this time, we do not, but we may in the future, enter into financial instruments to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Disclosure Controls) that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our Disclosure Controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the secondfirst quarter of fiscal year 2021,2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
