2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31,June 30, 2015 and for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year or for any future periods.

In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, have not changed.

3. Recently IssuedRecent Accounting Pronouncements

InterestInternal-Use Software

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued ASU 2015-05,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance will not change GAAP for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. The ASU aims to reduce complexity and diversity in practice. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB, issued ASU 2015-03,Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,which provides that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, rather than classifying the costs separately in the balance sheet as a deferred charge. The ASU aims to reduce complexity. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any impact.

Consolidation

In February 2015, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance on consolidation requirements. This update changes the guidance with respect to the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40); Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management of a company to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU provides guidance on evaluating an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and the content of any required footnote disclosure based on that evaluation. The assessment period is one year after the date of the financial statements are issued. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15, but we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU 2014-9,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance iswas effective for annual reporting and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective application, with early adoption not permitted. Accordingly,On July 9, 2015 the standardFASB voted to approve a one-year deferral of the effective date of this guidance. In accordance with the agreed upon delay, the guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017.2018. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method it will apply and the impact that this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Acquisitions

Swyft Media

On January 30, 2015, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of TextPride, Inc. operating under the name of Swyft Media, a privately-held mobile messaging company located in New York, New York. In connection with the acquisition, TextPride, Inc. was renamed Swyft Media Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant. Swyft Media’s expertise in the emerging world of branded, in-app mobile messaging content is expected to help Monotype reach new customers, with an opportunity to add value by including some of the world’s largest and most popular collections of fonts. The impact of this acquisition was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company acquired Swyft Media for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $17.0 million, consisting of $12.1 million in cash, plus contingent consideration of up to $15.0 million payable through 2018, which had an estimated net present value of $4.9 million. We paid approximately $11.6 million from cash on hand at the time of the acquisition, net of cash acquired. Of the purchase price, approximately $4.7 million and $13.6 million have been allocated to intangible assets and goodwill, respectively. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is less than the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill reflects the value of the synergies we expect to realize and the assembled workforce. The acquisition of Swyft Media was structured in such a manner that the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the acquisition, which remains preliminary as of March 31,June 30, 2015, and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information currently available. The final allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets, goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities may differ materially from the information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Twelve

employees joined the Company in connection with the acquisition. See Note 6 for additional information on the fair value measurements for all financial assets and liabilities, including contingent consideration, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

FontShop

On July 14, 2014, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of FontShop International GmbH, a privately-held font distributor located in Berlin, Germany, its wholly-owned subsidiary FontShop International, Inc. based in San Francisco, California, the FontFont typeface library, FontShop AG of Berlin, the largest distributor of the FontFont library, and certain other typeface families, collectively FontShop, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $14.6 million. We paid approximately $11.9 million from cash on hand at the time of the acquisition, and the remainder, or $2.7 million, was paid in January 2015. Of the final purchase price, approximately $8.5 million and $6.3 million have beenwas allocated to intangible assets and goodwill, respectively. The purchase price allocation was finalized as of June 30, 2015. Approximately $6.3 million of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price has beenwas allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the acquisition, which remains preliminary as of March 31, 2015, and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable

given the information that was currently available. The final allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets, goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities may differ materially from the information presented in these consolidated financial statements. On October 9, 2014, FontShop International GmbH was merged into Monotype Germany effective August 1, 2014. Following the merger, FontShop International Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monotype Germany. On October 28, 2014, FontShop AG was merged into Monotype Germany. Fifty employees joined the Company in connection with the acquisition.

Mark Boulton Design

On April 7, 2014, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Mark Boulton Design Limited, a privately-held Web design studio located in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, for $0.8 million in cash. The Company issued approximately $1.0 million in restricted stock awards in connection with the acquisition, which vest based upon continued employment over four years. The purchase price has been allocated to goodwill. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Following the acquisition, Mark Boulton Design Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Seven former employees of Mark Boulton Design Limited joined the Company in connection with the acquisition.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

We incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to certain customers that are invoiced in U.S. dollars, but who have the contractual option to make an equivalent payment in their own functional currencies at a specified exchange rate as of a specified date. In the period from that date until payment in the customer’s functional currency is received and converted into U.S. dollars, we can incur unrealizedrealized gains and losses. We also incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses on certain intercompany assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We are currently utilizing 30-day forward contracts to mitigate our exposure on these currency fluctuations. These contracts are generally set to expire and are settled at month end. The instruments are not designated as hedging instruments, and accordingly, the gain or loss is recognized upon cash settlement and is included in (gain) loss on derivatives in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. At March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we had one forward foreign exchange contract outstanding, which was entered into on those dates. See Note 6 for details regarding the fair value of these instruments.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is based ondefined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Codification establishesestablished a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or market corroborated inputs.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available and requires the Companycompany to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty and our own credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value, classified according to the three categories described above (in thousands):

The Company’s recurring fair value measures relate to short-term investments, which are classified as cash equivalents, derivative instruments and contingent consideration. The fair value of our cash equivalents are either based on quoted prices for similar assets or other observable inputs such as yield curves at commonly quoted intervals and other market corroborated inputs. The fair value of our derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices from various banking institutions or an independent third party provider for similar instruments. In determining the fair value, we consider our non-performance risk and that of our counterparties. At March 31,June 30, 2015, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell 2.12.2 million British pound sterling and purchase $3.1$3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair value. At December 31, 2014, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell 2.3 million British pound sterling and purchase $3.5 million that together, had an immaterial fair value.

For the contingent acquisition consideration classified as Level 2 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, fair value approximated book value, and represented the amount to be paid based on actual achievement of the criteria.

At March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company had recorded approximately $4.9$5.0 million in contingent consideration related to the January 2015 acquisition of Swyft Media. The contingent consideration is payable in cash based on the achievement of certain revenue and EBITDA margin targets for the years ending December 31, 2015 through 2016, with a catch-up period for the year ending December 31, 2017, and subject to a cap of $15.0 million. The fair value of this liability was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, relying on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 fair value measurement. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity included our expected revenues and

EBITDA for each of the measurement periods and the estimated level of risk and volatility around the forecast. The Monte Carlo simulation was relied on to

estimate the projected revenues, EBITDA margins, and contingent acquisition consideration payments for each measurement period. The average contingent acquisition consideration payments for the years 2015 through 2017, following 100,000 simulation trials, were discounted to present value to capture the time value of money and counterparty risk, based upon an assessment of the Company’s borrowing risk, and applying its credit rating to adjust the risk free rate.

The changes in the estimated fair value for our liabilities measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are as follows (in thousands):

9. Debt

On July 13, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Facility”), with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, the administrative agent for a syndicate of Lenders (“Lenders”), which provides the Company with a five-year, $120.0 million secured

revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate based upon, at the Company’s option, either LIBOR or the base rate (which is the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) 0.5% plus the overnight federal funds rate, and (iii) 1.0% in excess of the three-month LIBOR rate), plus in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is either 1.5% or 2.0% per annum, and the applicable margin for base rate loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is either 0.5% or 1.0% per annum. At March 31,June 30, 2015 our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 3.75% for prime. At March 31,June 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility. The Company is required to pay an unused line fee equal to 0.375% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding letters of credit, if any. Such fees are included in interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Credit Facility contains two financial covenants; a leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the Lenders under the Credit Facility to declare all amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and places limits on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtednessdebt or liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, transact with affiliates and alter its business. We were in compliance with all covenants under our Credit Facility as of March 31,June 30, 2015.

10. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Our German subsidiary maintains an unfunded defined benefit pension plan which covers substantially all employees who joined the company prior to the plan’s closure to new participants in 2006. Participants are entitled to benefits in the form of retirement, disability and surviving dependent pensions. Benefits generally depend on years of service and the salary of the employees.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to their respective participation rights in undistributed

earnings. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. In accordance with ASCAccounting Standards Codification Topic No. 260,Earnings Per Share, diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the following two approaches:

 

 1.Assume exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method.

 

 2.Assume exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method, but assume participating securities (unvested restricted stock) are not vested and allocate earnings to common shares and participating securities using the two-class method.

For the periods presentedthree and six months ended June 30, 2015 and the three months ended June 30, 2014, the two-class method was used in the computation of diluted net income per share as this approach was more dilutive. For the resultsix months ended June 30, 2014, the treasury stock method was used in the computation of diluted net income per share, as this approach was more dilutive. The following presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic net income per share and a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of diluted net income per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

14. Segment Reporting

We view our operations and manage our business as one segment: the development, marketing and licensing of technologies and fonts. Factors used to identify our single segment include the financial information available for evaluation by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. While our technologies and services are sold into two principal markets, Creative Professional and OEM, expenses and assets are not formally allocated to these market segments, and operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources. The following table presents revenue for these two major markets (in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, revenuesales by our subsidiaries located outside the United States comprised 46.0%42.8% and 48.0%45.3%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, sales by our subsidiaries located outside the United States comprised 44.5% and 46.7%, respectively, of our total revenue. We expect that sales by our international subsidiaries will continue to represent a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Future international revenue will depend on the continued use and expansion of our text imaging solutions worldwide.

We derive a significant portion of our OEM revenue from a limited number of customers, in particular manufacturers of laser printers and consumer electronics. For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, our top ten licensees by revenue, all of which are with OEM customers, accounted

for approximately 36.9%34.1% and 39.3%36.1% of our total revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our top ten licensees by revenue, all of which are with OEM customers, accounted for approximately 34.8% and 37.4% of our total revenue, respectively. As Creative Professional revenue growth is expected to continue to outpace OEM revenue growth, we expect total revenue from our top ten licensees to continue to decrease as a percentage of total revenue. Although no one customer accounted for more than 10% ofor moreof our total revenue for the three or six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 or 2014, if we are unable to maintain relationships with major customers or establish relationships with new customers, our licensing revenue will be adversely affected.

Creative Professional Revenue

Our Creative Professional revenue is derived from font licenses, font related services and from custom font design services. We license fonts directly to end-users through our e-commerce websites, via telephone, email and indirectly through third-party resellers. Font related services refer to our web font services and web design tools. We also license fonts and provide custom font design services to graphic designers, advertising agencies, media organizations and corporations. We refer to direct, indirect and custom revenue, as non-web revenue, and refer to revenue that is derived from our websites, as web revenue.

Revenue from font licenses to our e-commerce customers is recognized upon payment by the customer and the software embodying the font is shipped or made available. Revenue from font licenses to other customers is recognized upon shipment of the software embodying the font and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue from resellers is recognized upon notification from the reseller that our font product has been licensed and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Custom font design services arerevenue is generally recognized upon delivery.delivery, unless it is part of a bundled services arrangement, in which case, it is recognized over the longest service period. Font related service revenue is mainly subscription based and it may contain software as a service. The subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period. We consider web server and commercial rights to online fonts as recurring revenue and it is recognized upon invoicing and proof of font delivery, when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Contract accounting is used where services are deemed essential to the software. We consider both the completed contract and percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition for contract accounting arrangements. We have the ability to make reasonable estimates, and therefore, typically use the percentage-of-completion method in arrangements subject to contract accounting applying input or output measures, where appropriate. We make certain judgements, by estimating the amount of expenses to be recognized, together with the percent of revenue earned in each particular period.

OEM Revenue

Our OEM revenue is derived substantially from per-unit royalties received for printer imaging and printer driver, or printer products, and display imaging products. Under our licensing arrangements we typically receive a royalty for each product unit incorporating our text imaging solutions that is shipped by our OEM customers. We also receive OEM revenue from fixed fee licenses with certain of our OEM customers. Fixed fee licensing arrangements are not based on units the customer ships, but instead, customers pay us on a periodic basis for the right to embed our typefaces and technology. Although significantly less than royalties from per-unit shipments and fixed fees from OEM customers, we also receive revenue from software application and operating systems vendors, who include our typefaces and technology in their products, and for font development. Many of our per-unit royalty licenses continue for the duration that our OEM customers ship products that include our technology, unless terminated for breach. Other licenses have terms that typically range from one to five years, and usually provide for automatic or optional renewals. We recognize revenue from per-unit royalties in the period during which we receive a royalty report from a customer, typically one quarter after royalty-bearing units are shipped, as we do not have the ability to estimate the number of units shipped by our customers. Revenue from fixed fee licenses is generally recognized when it is billed to the customer, so long as the product has been delivered, the license fee is fixed and non-refundable and collection is probable. OEM revenue also includes project-related agreements for which contract accounting may be used.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists of font license fees that we pay on certain fonts that are owned by third parties, allocated internal engineering expense and overhead costs directly related to custom design services. License fees that we pay to third parties are typically based on a percentage of our Creative Professional and OEM revenue and do not involve minimum fees. Our cost of OEM revenue is typically lower than our cost of Creative Professional revenue because we own a higher percentage of the fonts licensed to our OEM customers, provide value-added technology and have negotiated lower royalty rates on the fonts we license from third parties because of volume. The cost of our custom design service revenue is substantially higher than the cost of our other revenue and, as a result, our gross margin varies from period-to-period depending on the level of custom design revenue recorded.

Cost of revenue also includes amortization of acquired technology, which we amortize over 8 to 15 years. For purposes of amortizing acquired technology we estimate the remaining useful life of the technology based upon various considerations, including our knowledge of the technology and the way our customers use it. We use the straight-line method to amortize our acquired technology as there is no reliable evidence to suggest that we should expect any other pattern of amortization than an even pattern, and we believe this best reflects the expected pattern of economic usage.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit percentage is influenced by a number of factors including product mix, pricing and volume at any particular time. However, our cost of OEM revenue is typically lower than our cost of Creative Professional revenue because we own a higher percentage of the fonts licensed to our OEM customers, provide value-added technology and have negotiated lower royalty rates on the fonts we license from third parties because of volume. Within our Creative Professional business, the cost of our custom design service revenue is substantially higher than the cost of our other revenue. As a result, our gross profit varies from period-to-period depending on the mix between, and within, Creative Professional and OEM revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2014. Information about our critical accounting policies may be found in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies,” included inof our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Revenue by MarketMarket.

We view our operations and manage our business as one segment: the development, marketing and licensing of technologies and fonts. Factors used to identify our single segment include the financial information available for evaluation by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. While our technologies and services are sold to customers in two principal markets, Creative Professional and consumer device manufacturers and independent software vendors, together OEM, expenses and assets are not formally allocated to these markets, and operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources.

Creative Professional revenue increased $2.4 million, or 13.2%, to $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $18.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, mainly from increased web revenue due to increased font license revenue and increased sales of our web font services.

OEM revenue was $25.7 million and $26.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $0.1$1.0 million, or 0.1%3.6%.

Creative Professional revenue increased $2.8 million, or 15.7%, to $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, mainly due to an increase in web and direct revenue. Web revenue increased in the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, mainly due to increased font license revenue, together with increased sales of our web font services. Increased non-web revenue also contributed to the overall increase in the same period, a result of an increase in sales of our license revenue to enterprise customers. A weakening Euro and British pound sterling, as compared to the U.S. dollar, partially offset these increases.

OEM revenue was $25.5 million and $28.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 9.9%, mainly due to lower Decreased revenue from per unit royalty arrangements primarily with our printer basedand display imaging consumer electronic OEM customers.customers was partially offset by increased revenue from our independent software vendor customers, mainly due to the timing of certain non-recurring license deals in the second quarter of 2014.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was $7.4$7.6 million and $6.5$7.3 million infor the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 3.2%.

TheIn the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014, custom font design revenue had a lower associated cost, the impact of which was offset by an increase in Creative Professional revenue, which typically has a higher associated cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, as a percentage of revenue was mainly due to product mix.than our OEM revenue. In the first quarter ofthree months ended June 30, 2015, Creative Professional revenue was 44.5%44.6% of total revenue, as compared to 38.5%40.6% of total revenue in the same period in 2014. Our Creative Professional revenue typically has a higher associated cost than our OEM revenue because Creative Professional revenue contains a higher proportion of third party fonts.

The portion of cost of revenue consisting of amortization of acquired technology was unchanged at $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014.2014, respectively.

Gross profit decreased 2.0 percentage points to 81.4% in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 as compared to 83.4% in the three months ended March 31,and 2014 mainly the resultwas consistent at 81.3% and 81.2% of product mix.sales, respectively. In the three months ended March 31,second quarter of 2015, we had a higher percentage of Creative Professional revenue in total revenue, as compared to the same period in 2014, we achieved improved gross profit on custom font development revenue, which typically haswas offset by a higher associated cost than our OEM revenue.mix of Creative Professional revenue, as detailed above.

Operating Expenses

Marketing and Selling.Marketing and selling expense increased $1.9$2.5 million, or 16.7%21.2%, to $13.0$14.5 million in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015, as compared to $11.1$12.0 million in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2014. Personnel expenses increased $0.9$1.9 million due to additional headcount primarily from our acquisitions of Swyft Media and FontShop, and increased share based compensation. Increased targeted spending, such as website design, brand promotion and demand generation expense, together contributed $0.9 million to the increasecompensation in the first quarter ofthree months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Increased infrastructure expenses, primarily rent and depreciation expense, mainly associated with our new corporate office, contributed $0.5 million to the increase in the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.

Research and Development. Research and development expense was consistent at $5.8$5.3 million in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015, as compared to $4.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $0.4 million, or 7.7%, primarily from an increase in personnel and 2014, respectively.consulting expenses.

increases in share based compensation. In the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a $0.6 million reduction in expense due to a revised estimate for contingent acquisition consideration. There was no similar item in the same period in 2015. Higher infrastructure expenses, primarily depreciation and software maintenance expense associated with our new ERP systems, contributed $0.3 million to the overall increase in general and administrative expense.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets decreased $0.7 million, or 44.8%, to $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, mainly the result of an asset becoming fully amortized in the fall of 2014.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of interest income was consistent at $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Interest expense, in both periods, consisted mainly of unused line fees in connection with our Credit Facility. There was no debt outstanding during either period.

Loss on Foreign Exchange

Loss on foreign exchange increased $0.4 million, or 266.2%, to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. In the three months ended June 30, 2015, the loss on foreign exchange was primarily due to the strengthening of the British pound sterling, as compared to the U.S. dollar. In the three months ended June 30, 2014, the loss was primarily due to the revaluation of liabilities incurred in the acquisition of Design by Front.

Loss on Derivatives

Loss on derivatives was consistent at $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, due to our 30-day forward currency contracts.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our effective tax rate was 35.0% and 37.2%, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the effect of foreign income and dividends, which resulted in a 1.1% decrease in the second quarter 2015 effective tax rate, as compared to 2014, and a 0.4% decrease in state and local income taxes, net of federal benefit.

Loss on derivatives was $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 15.2%. Interest expense primarily relates to fees associated with our unused line of credit in both periods, as there was no debt outstanding during either period.

Loss on Foreign Exchange

Loss on foreign exchange was $0.1 million and $34 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million. The loss in both periods was the result of currency fluctuations on our foreign denominated receivables and payables.

(Gain) Loss on Derivatives

(Gain) loss on derivatives was a gain of $0.1 million and a loss of $56 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively,66.4%, primarily due to market value changes in our 30-day forward currency contracts.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, our effective tax rate was 32.6%33.7% and 37.7%37.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 included a benefit of 3.1%1.7% for the reversal of reserves in connection with a settlement of the tax audit related to the Company’s Japan subsidiary. There was no similar item in the same period in 2014. In addition, the effect of foreign income and dividends resulted in a 1.5%0.9% decrease in the 2015 effective tax rate, as compared to 2014.an increase of 0.7% in the 2014 effective tax rate. The effective tax rate included a charge of 1.4% for state and local income taxes, net of federal benefit, as compared to a charge of 1.9% in 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows for the ThreeSix Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash from operations, private and public stock sales and long-term debt arrangements, as described below. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, our cash flow from operating activities and available bank borrowings will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. At March 31,June 30, 2015, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $78.8$74.6 million and a $120.0 million revolving credit facility, of which there were no outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2015.borrowings. On October 23, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock over the followinga maximum two years, and inyear period. In the first quarterhalf of 2015, we used $6.1$18.2 million ofin cash to repurchase shares.shares and completed the repurchase program in June 2015, after reaching the maximum cumulative spend. We also used $0.4 million in cash to repurchase shares in excess of our previously approved share repurchase program. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the operations of our existing business, our potential strategic expansion and future acquisitions we might undertake.

Operating Activities

Significant variations in operating cash flows may occur because, from time-to-time, our customers make prepayments against future royalties. Prepayments may be required under the terms of our license agreements and are occasionally made on an elective basis and often cause large fluctuations in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. The timing and extent of such prepayments significantly impacts our cash balances.

We generated $10.9$24.4 million in cash from operations during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs accretedand accretion of interest, share based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, and unrealized currency gainloss on foreign denominated

intercompany transactions generated $12.9$25.6 million in cash. Decreased accrued expenses and income taxes, and accounts payable, offset by decreased prepaid expenses, and other assets, net of increased accounts payable used $1.1$1.5 million in cash, primarily a result of the payment of 2014 accrued variable compensation amounts. IncreasedDecreased deferred revenue net ofoffset by increased accounts receivable generated $0.3$0.5 million in cash mainly due to timing of customer payments. Accrued income taxes used $1.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

We generated $16.8$30.2 million in cash from operations during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, adjustment to contingent consideration, loss on retirement of fixed assets, amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of interest, share based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes and unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions and accreted interest generated $13.6$26.5 million in cash. Decreased accounts receivable and increased deferredDeferred revenue generated $3.7$1.9 million in cash, mainly due to the timing of customer payments. Accrued income taxes generated $2.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Investing Activities

During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 we used $18.5$21.1 million in investing activities mainly for the purchase of $4.2$6.8 million of property and equipment, primarily for new ERP systems and our new corporate office, and $14.3 million for acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 we used $3.5 million in investing activities mainly for the purchase of $2.5 million of property and equipment, and $14.3$1.0 million for the Swyft Media and FontShop acquisitions. Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.6 million. The purchase of property and equipment used $1.2 million and payments of contingent consideration, in connection with the Design by Front acquisition, used $0.4 million.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 was $3.4$18.5 million. We received cash from exercises of stock options of $4.6$5.9 million and excess tax benefit on stock options provided $1.2$1.7 million. We paid a cash dividenddividends of $3.1 million. We also$7.2 million, made contingent consideration payments of $0.3 million and purchased $6.1$18.6 million ofin treasury stock in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015.

Cash used in financing activities for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 was $5.5$24.3 million. We received cash from exercises of stock options of $2.3$3.1 million and excess tax benefit on stock options provided $1.4$2.0 million. We paid a cash dividenddividends of $2.4 million. We also used $6.8$5.5 million, to purchaseand purchased $23.9 million in treasury stock in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014.

Dividends

On February 10,April 28, 2015 our Board of Directors approved a $0.10 per share or $4.0$3.2 million, quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date was AprilJuly 1, 2015 and the dividend was paid to shareholders of record on AprilJuly 21, 2015. We anticipate this to be a recurring quarterly dividend with future payments and record dates, subject to board approval. On April 28,July 22, 2015 ourthe Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.10 per share, quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date is set for JulyOctober 1, 2015 and the dividend is payable to shareholders of record on JulyOctober 21, 2015.

Credit Facility

On July 13, 2011 we entered into a five-year $120.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility replaced the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was scheduled to expire on July 30, 2012. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest based on the leverage ratio at either (i) the prime rate plus 0.5%, as defined in the credit agreement, or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.5%. The Company is required to pay an unused line fee equal to 0.375% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31,At June 30, 2015 our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 3.75% for prime and we had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility. There are no required repayments. The Company, in accordance with the Credit Facility, is permitted to request that the Lenders, at their election, increase the secured credit facility to a maximum of $140.0 million.

In addition, the Credit Facility provides that we maintainnot exceed a maximum leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of aggregate outstanding indebtedness to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net earnings (or loss), plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and share based compensation expense, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cash non-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cash non-operating gains and other non-cash gains; provided however that the aggregate of all cash non-operating expense shall not exceed $250 thousand and all such fees, costs and expenses shall not exceed $1.5 million on a trailing twelve months basis.

Additional limits are imposed on acquisition related expenses. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants which include (i)We also must maintain a minimum fixed charge ratio. As of June 30, 2015, the maximum leverage ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ofpermitted was 3.00:1.00 and (ii) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00. As of March 31, 2015, our leverage ratio was 0.00:1.00 and the minimum fixed

charge coverage ratio was 1.25:1.00 and our fixed charge ratio was 3.75:3.83:1.00. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the lendersLenders under the Credit Facility to declare all amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and places limits on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt or liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, transact with affiliates and alter its business.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP profitability measures such as income (loss) from operations and net income.income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure has material limitations since it excludes the statement of income impact of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, the provision (benefit) for income taxes and share based compensation and therefore does not represent an accurate measure of profitability, particularly in situations where a company is highly leveraged or has a disadvantageous tax structure. We have significant intangible assets and amortization expense is a meaningful element in our financial statements and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. In the past, weWe have had a significant amount of debt, and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We generally incur significant U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes each year and the provision for income taxes is a necessary element of our costs and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We have share based compensation and the associated expense ishas a meaningful element inimpact on our financial statements and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. Non-cash expenses, restructuring, issuance and cash non-operating expenses have a meaningful impact on our financial statements. Therefore, their exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in conjunction with net income for complete analysis of our profitability, as net income includes the financial statement impact of these items and is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure to Adjusted EBITDA. As Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of the limitations that Adjusted EBITDA has as an analytical tool, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
(2)As defined in the Credit Facility, an add-back of up to $250 thousand of cash non-operating expense, which is not to exceed $1.5 million when combined together with restructuring and issuance costs.

The Credit Facility also contains provisions for an increased interest rate during periods of default. We do not believe that these covenants will affect our ability to operate our business, and we were in compliance with all covenants under our Credit Facility as of March 31,June 30, 2015.

Non-GAAP Measures

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we discuss a key measurerely internally on certain measures that isare not calculated according to GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is net adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and share based compensation expenses. We use net adjusted EBITDA as a principal indicator of the operating performance of our business. We use net adjusted EBITDA in internal forecasts and models when

establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our board of directors, determining bonus compensation for our employees based on operating performance and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that net adjusted EBITDA permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance, relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of charges that may vary from period-to-period without direct correlation to underlying operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making. We believe that trends in our net adjusted EBITDA may be valuable indicators of our operating performance.

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we discuss anothera key measure that is not calculated according to GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which is defined as earnings per diluted share before amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expenses. We use non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as one of our principal indicators of the operating performance of our business. We use non-GAAP earnings per diluted shares in internal forecasts, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our board of directors and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risk, including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk.

Concentration of Revenue and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. Cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and certain investments, such as commercial paper, corporate debtsecurities and municipal securities, with maturities less than 90 days.days or containing seven day guaranteed put features to the issuer. Deposits of cash held outside the United States totaled approximately $9.2$8.8 million and $10.3 million at March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

We grant credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. Credit evaluations are performed on an ongoing basis to reduce credit risk, and no collateral is required from our customers. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible based upon historical experience and credit evaluation. AsNone of March 31, 2015, one customerour customers individually accounted for 17.1%10% or more of our gross accounts receivable. Asreceivable as of June 30, 2015. At December 31, 2014, one customer individually accounted for 10.1% of our gross accounts receivable. Due to the nature of our quarterly revenue streams derived from royalty revenue, it is not unusual for our accounts receivable balances to include a few customers with large balances. Historically, we have not recorded material losses due to customers’ nonpayment.

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk

In the past we have used interest rate derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate volatility resulting from our variable rate debt. ASC Topic No. 815,No.815,Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships, including a requirement that all designations must be made at the inception of each instrument. As we did not make such initial designations, ASC 815 requires changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument to be recognized as current period income or expense.

The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated based on the amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date. Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-termlong term debt. The interest rate on our Credit Facility fluctuates with either the prime rate or the LIBOR interest rate. At March 31,June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility. Historically, we have purchased interest rate swap instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our debt obligations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

In accordance with ASC Topic No. 830,Foreign Currency Matters, or ASC 830, all assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments as calculated from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 and 2014, sales by our subsidiaries located outside North America, particularly the U.K, Germany and Japan, comprised 46.0%42.8% and 48.0%%45.3%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, sales by our subsidiaries located outside North America comprised 44.5% and 46.7%, respectively, of our total revenue. An effect of a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro or Japanese yen, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have decreased our revenues by $4.6 million, increased expenses by $3.5$2.8 million and decreased operating income by $1.1$1.0 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro or Japanese yen, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have would have decreased our revenues by $9.2 million, increased expenses by $5.4 million and decreased operating income by $2.1 million. The sensitivity analysis assumes that all currencies move in the same direction at the same time and the ratio of non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue and expenses to U.S. dollar denominated revenue and expenses does not change from current levels.

We incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to certain customers that are invoiced in U.S. dollars, but who have the option to make an equivalent payment in their own functional currencies at a specified exchange rate as of a specified date. In

the period from that date until payment in the customer’s functional currency is received and converted into U.S. dollars, we can incur realized gains and losses. We also incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses on certain intercompany assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We are currently utilizing 30-day forward contracts to mitigate our exposure on these currency fluctuations. Any increase or decrease inAt both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 there was one currency contract outstanding, to purchase and sell two different currencies, which was entered into on those dates, and accordingly, the fair value of the forward contracts is offset by the change in the value of the hedged assets of our consolidated foreign affiliate. At March 31, 2015, we had one contractwas materially equivalent to sell 2.1 million British pounds sterling and purchase $3.1 million that together, had an immaterial fair value. At December 31, 2014 we had one 30-day contract to sell 2.3 million British pound sterling and purchase $3.5 million that together, had an immaterial fairits book value.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2015. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2015, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
