This update provides guidance in evaluating whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the software license element of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components ofthe arrangement should be accounted for as an Entity. This ASU changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in FASB ASU 205-20, such that a disposalacquisition of a component of an entity orsoftware license. If a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. This ASU requires an entity to present, for each comparative period, the assets and liabilities of a disposal group that includes a discontinued operation separately in the asset and liability sections, respectively, of the statement of financial position, as well as additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosures about a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity thatcloud computing arrangement does not qualifyinclude a software license, the customer should account for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements and expands the disclosures about an entity's significant continuing involvement witharrangement as a discontinued operation.service contract. The guidance does not change generally accepted accounting principles for a customer's accounting for service contracts. This update is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. We2015. Therefore, the Company has prospectively adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginningnew standard on April 1, 2015, and there was no effect2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In JulyNovember 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,2015-17,Simplifying the MeasurementIncome Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Inventory,Deferred Taxes (Topic 330)740), which amends the guidelines for the measurement of inventory. Under the amendments, an entity should measure inventory valued using a first-in, first-out or average cost method at the lower of cost. This ASU requires all deferred tax liabilities and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling priceassets to be presented in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncementstandard resulted in reclassifying current deferred income tax assets to its consolidated financial statements.noncurrent deferred income tax assets and current deferred income tax liabilities to noncurrent deferred income tax liabilities. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard will become effective for public companiesthe Company on JanuaryApril 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The ASU amends the guidance in ASU 2014-09 related to identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendment provides clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and adds some practical expedients.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement and its amendments to its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. Topic 805 requires an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendment requires that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition, an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.

The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements.

Amounts held in escrow were measure at fair value using present value computations. The liabilitycontingent consideration was measured at fair value using a probability weighted average of the potential payment outcomes that would occur should certain contract milestones be reached. There is no market data available to use in valuing the contingent consideration; therefore, the Company developed its own assumptions related to the achievement of the milestones to evaluate the fair value of the liability. As such, the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 as described below.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, there was $38.1$32.9 million of unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.672.22 years.

14


Unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to shares issued as part of an acquisition was approximately $1.8 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.92 years.

Assumptions Used to Calculate Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The fair value of each of the Company's option grants has been estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

 Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Three Months Ended
 September 30, September 30, June 30,
 2015 2014 2015 2014 2016 2015

Weighted average expected option term  5.57 years 5.30 years 5.46 years 5.20 years  5.75 years 5.25 years
  
Weighted average fair value of options granted $4.00 $3.90 $4.06 $3.91 $5.45 $4.17

The estimated fair value of options granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated at the date of grant using Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

   Three Months Ended  Six Months Ended
   September 30,  September 30,
   2015  2014  2015  2014

Weighted average fair value of            
ESPP options granted $2.78 $2.46 $2.78 $2.46

As of September 30, 2015, there were approximately $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to employee stock purchases. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.5 years.

Performance Stock Units14


During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued restricted performance stock units (PSUs) to a group of executives with vesting that is contingent on both market performance and continued service. These PSUs vest (1) 50% on September 22, 2017 and (2) 50% on September 27, 2018, in each case subject to performance of the Company's common stock relative to the Russell 2000 Index during the period from grant date through such vesting date. A 2x multiplier will be applied to the total shareholder returns (TSR) for each 1% of positive or negative relative TSR, and the number of shares earned will increase or decrease by 2% of the target numbers. In the event 8x8's common stock performance is below negative 30%, relative to the benchmark, no shares will be issued.

To value these market-based restricted performance stock units under the Equity Compensation Plans, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant. Fair value determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model varies based on the assumptions used for the expected stock price volatility, the correlation coefficient between the Company and the NASDAQ Composite Index, risk free interest rates, and future dividend payments.

Stock Repurchases

In February 2015, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $20.0 million of its common stock from time to time until February 29, 2016 (the "Repurchase"2015 Repurchase Plan"). Share repurchases, if any, will be funded with available cash. Repurchases under the 2015 Repurchase Plan may be made through open market purchases at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, volume and nature of share repurchases are subject to market prices and conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors, and are at the discretion of the Company's management. Share repurchases under the 2015 Repurchase Plan may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time. This tranche of shares authorized for repurchase expired in February 2016.

In October 2015, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to purchase an additional $15.0 million of its common stock from time to time until October 20, 2016 under the 2015 Repurchase Plan. There were no stock repurchases for the period ended June 30, 2016. The remaining authorized repurchase amount at SeptemberJune 30, 20152016 was approximately $5.1$15.0 million.

The stock repurchase activity for the three months ended and as of September 30, 2015, is summarized as follows:

  Shares  Weighted Average  Amount
  Repurchased  Per Share  Repurchased(1)

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.4$0.8 million which was primarily attributable to income from domestic operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.4 million.

At March 31, 2015, there were $2.4 million of2016, the Company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits that,of $2.9 million, all of which, if recognized, would have affecteddecrease the company's effective tax rate. The Company does not believe that there has been any significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits in the three-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, and does not expect the remaining unrecognized tax benefit to change materially in the next 12 months. To the extent that the remaining unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they will have an impact on the effective tax rate in future periods.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280,Segment Reporting, establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. Under ASC 280, the method for determining what information to report is based upon the way management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

The Company manages its operations primarily on a geographic basis. The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Chief Technology Officer or the Company's Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODMs), evaluate performance of the Company and make decisions regarding allocation of resources based on geographic results. The Company's reportable operating segments are the Americas and Europe. The Americas segment is primarily North America. The Europe segment is primarily the United Kingdom. Each operating segment provides similar products and services.

The Company's CODMs evaluate the performance of its operating segments based on revenues and net income. Revenues are attributed to each segment based on the ordering location of the customer or ship to location. The Company does not allocateallocates corporate overhead costs such as research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and commitment and contingencies for each segment as management does not consider this information in its evaluation ofto the performance of each operatingAmericas segment. The Company did not allocate goodwill for each segment as the Company had not completed its analysis of assigning goodwill to its reporting units as of October 27, 2015.

11. ACQUISITIONS

DXI Group Limited

On May 26, 2015, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of DXI Limited, API Telecom Limited, Easycallnow Limited and RAS Telecom Limited (collectively, DXI) for the purchase of the entire share capital of DXI. The transaction closed effective May 29, 2015 and was not subject to regulatory approvals. The total aggregate purchase price was approximately $22.5 million, consisting of $18.7 million in cash paid to the DXI shareholders at closing, and $3.8 million in cash deposited into escrow to be held for two years as security against indemnity claims made by the Company after the closing date. Approximately 352,000 shares of common stock valued at approximately $3.0 million were issued only to former management shareholders of DXI as part of the share purchase agreement and are subject to certain restrictions, including a four-year annual vesting requirement based on the continued employment of such shareholders. Under ASC 805-10-55-25,Business Combinations, the shares are considered post acquisition compensation vs. consideration transferred. The value of the shares will be amortized over the vesting period of forty-eight months. The shares are further subject to indemnity claims asserted by the Company prior to vesting. Vesting of the shares is subject to acceleration in the event of the shareholder's death or disability, or upon an employment termination without adequate cause, as provided in the share purchase agreement. The cash escrow also applies only to the management shareholders of DXI and is to be released in annual installments over two years. The share purchase agreement contains representations and warranties by the management shareholders that are customary in the UK for transactions of this size and nature. The Company also awarded restricted stock units representing the right to receive approximately 53,000 shares of common stock that were valued at approximately $482,000 to certain continuing employees of DXI, which will be amortized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period.

The Company recorded the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The amount of goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the expected contributions of the entity to the overall corporate strategy in addition to synergies and acquired workforce of the acquired business. The finite-lived intangible assets consist of the following: customer relationships, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of two and five years; and developed technology, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of seven years. The indefinite lived intangible asset consisted of a tradename. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management using various income approach methods. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The preliminary fair values of net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired were based upon preliminary valuations and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired, certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, and residual goodwill.

The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows (in thousands):

Estimated
Fair Value
Assets acquired:
     Cash$1,318 
     Current assets2,016 
     Property and equipment1,453 
     Intangible assets13,374 
          Total assets acquired18,161 
Liabilities assumed:
     Current liabilities and non-current liabilities(5,734)
          Total liabilities assumed(5,734)
               Net identifiable assets acquired12,427 
     Goodwill10,125 
               Total consideration transferred$22,552 

None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

DXI contributed revenue of approximately $4.5 million and $1.0 million net loss for the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2015. Total acquisition related costs were approximately $0.9 million. The Company determined that the acquisition was not deemed to be a material business combination and it is impractical to include such pro forma information given the difficulty in obtaining the historical financial information of DXI. Inclusion of such information would require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding DXI's historical financial results that the Company believes may ultimately prove inaccurate.

18


In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company updated its analysis of the valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired, which resulted in an increase of approximately $1.1 million to goodwill, a decrease in intangible assets of approximately $1.3 million, and a decrease to current and non-current liabilities of $0.2 million, compared with the preliminary estimates recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The impact of the change in preliminary values on the first quarter of fiscal 2016 statement of operations was not material. Therefore, no measurement period adjustment was required.

Quality Software Corporation

On June 18, 2015, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with the shareholder of Quality Software Corporation (QSC) and other parties affiliated with the shareholder and QSC for the purchase of certain assets as per the purchase agreement. The total aggregate fair value of the consideration was approximately $2.9 million, which $2.2 million was paid in cash to the QSC shareholder at closing. As part of the aggregate purchases price, there is also $0.5 million in contingent consideration payable subject to attainment of certain revenue and product release milestones for the acquired business, and $0.3 million in cash held by the Company in escrow to be retained for two years as security against indemnity claims made by the Company after the closing date. The preliminary fair value of the contingent consideration and escrow amounts was $0.7 million at the acquisition date.

The Company recorded the acquired identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The amount of goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the expected contributions of the entity to the overall corporate strategy in addition to synergies and acquired workforce of the acquired business. The finite-lived intangible assets consist of the following: in-process research and development, whose estimated weighted life is expected to be three years; customer relationships, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of five years; and developed technology, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of seven years. The indefinite lived intangible asset consisted of in-process research and development and a tradename. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management using various income approach methods. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. The preliminary fair values of intangible assets acquired were based upon preliminary valuations and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The areas that remain preliminary relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired and residual goodwill.

The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows (in thousands):

Estimated
Fair Value
Assets acquired:
     Intangible assets$1,225 
     Goodwill1,664 
          Total consideration transferred$2,889 

The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

QSC's contributions to revenue and income for the period from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2015 were not material. Total acquisition related costs were approximately $0.1 million. The Company determined that the acquisition was not deemed to be a material business combination and it is impractical to include such pro forma information given the difficulty in obtaining the historical financial information of QSC. Inclusion of such information would require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding QSC's historical financial results that we believe may ultimately prove inaccurate.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company updated its analysis of the valuation of intangible assets with definitive lives, which resulted in $450,000 being reallocated from intangibles to goodwill compared with the preliminary estimates recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The impact of the change in preliminary values on the first quarter of fiscal 2016 statement of operations was not material. Therefore, no measurement period adjustment was required.

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

In the secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2016,2017, our newservice revenue from mid-market and enterprise customers grew 44% year-over year and represented 52% of total service revenue. New monthly recurring revenue to our(MRR) bookings from mid-market and enterprise customers and new monthly recurring revenue generated fromby our channel sales teams increased substantially,62% year-over-year, reflecting strong demand for our services in our target market segments. AverageAlso, average monthly service revenue per business customer (ARPU) increased 20%13% to a record $360,$399, compared with $299$353 in the same period last year. Our ability to offer a broad range of cloud- based mission critical communications services is bringing us larger deals where we continue to displace incumbent, premises-based systems.

AsBuilding upon our Global Reach® initiative, on July 19, 2016, we continueannounced plans to expand our focus on buildinginternational footprint with new investments in Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America (LATAM) to support growing demand from global and distributed mid-market and enterprise customers. These include the addition of three new co-located data centers in Singapore, The Netherlands and Brazil, full localization capabilities for an additional six languages - French (two dialects), German, Dutch, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese - and new support centers in the Philippines and Romania delivering 24 x 7 follow-the-sun support. With this expansion, 8x8 will have a more profitable and sustaining mid-market customer base, one that contributes significantly greater lifetime value thantotal of 12 data centers in eight regions of the average small business customer, we are adding fewer one - two line business customers. We expect this trend to continue based on our continued focus on selling to larger businesses. As our average business customer size continues to grow, we believe that the net additional customer metric no longer correlates to our monthly recurring and top line revenue growthworld and will no longer include this statisticbe one of the first global cloud communications providers with a presence in this discussionLATAM.

We continued the advancement of our technology and analysis.service offerings in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 with the release of our new Virtual Office Meeting service - a high definition video conferencing and collaboration solution that enables secure, continuous communication from any device, anywhere in the world. This enables instant, seamless collaboration from a single platform with the ability to share content from cloud applications such as Dropbox, Box, iCloud and Google Drive.

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 disclosure 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.

We translate revenue denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our financial statements. If the exchange rate for British Pound Sterling, or GBP, to U.S. dollars, or USD, persists at current levels, or declines further, our revenues will be adversely impacted due to the foreign currency translation adjustment. We cannot ascertain how much impact this will have in fiscal 2017, but at the current exchange rate, we estimate a negative impact on revenues of approximately $0.6 million per quarter in comparison with the exchange rate for GBP to USD effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

The effective tax rate set forth in the previous table is calculated by dividing the income tax provision by net income before income tax expense. We estimate our annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarter. In estimating the annual effective tax rate, we, in consultation with our tax advisors, 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.

25


We estimate our annual effective rate at the end of each quarterly period, and 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency

Our financial market risk consists primarily of risks associated with international operations and related foreign currencies. We derive a portion of our revenue from customers in Europe and Asia. In order to reduce the risk from fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, the vast majority of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, almost all of our arrangements with our contract manufacturers are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have not entered into any currency hedging activities.

22


We translate revenue denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our financial statements. During periods of a strengthening dollar, our reported European revenue is reduced because foreign currencies translate into fewer U.S. dollars. However, our UK segments are currently in a net loss position. Therefore, during periods of a strengthening dollar, our net loss from our UK segment would be reduced as well.

To date, our exposure to exchange rate volatility has not been significant; however,significant. However, the June 2016 vote on a referendum to exit the European Union decision has resulted in a steep decline in the exchange rate for GBP to USD. The impact of Brexit to our results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2016 was not material. However, there can be no assurance that there will not be a material impact in the future.

Investments

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities in which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we may maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds, debt securities and certificates of deposit. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio and we do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on our interest income.

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")(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, 2015.2016.

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 2016, 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.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

Descriptions of our legal proceedings are contained in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - "Note 6".

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

We face many significant risks in our business, some of which are unknown to us and not presently foreseen. These risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future. We have disclosed a number of material risks under Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015,2016, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2015.31, 2016. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K.

Because our long-term growth strategy involves further expansion outside the United States, our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations.

In addition, on June 23, 2016, the UK held a referendum in which a majority of voters voted to exit the European Union (Brexit). The result of the Brexit vote adversely impacted global markets and foreign currencies. In particular, the value of the Pound Sterling has sharply declined as compared to the U.S. Dollar and other currencies. This volatility in foreign currencies is expected to continue as the UK negotiates and executes its exit from the European Union but it is uncertain over what time period this will occur. A significantly weaker Pound Sterling compared to the U.S. Dollar could materially reduce our revenues after taking into account foreign currency translation adjustments.

ITEM 5. Other InformationOTHER INFORMATION

On October 20, 2015, our BoardSee Item 2 of Directors has approved a new share repurchase program authorizing up to $15 million in repurchases of outstanding shares of our common stock. Repurchases of shares under the program will be made pursuant to a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan, under which transactions would be effected in accordance with specified price, volume and timing conditions. A plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 allows an issuer to repurchase shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or due to self-imposed trading blackout periods. Because repurchases under a Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan are subject to specified parameters, there can be no assurancePart II, "Contractual Obligations", regarding the number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased pursuant to the plan, and we may discontinue repurchases and terminate the plan at any time.new DXI operating lease for office space in London, UK.
