2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 20162017 and for the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 20152016 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, 20152016, 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, 2016, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, whichpractices are detailedas described in the Company’s Annual Report, on Form 10-Kexcept for the year ended December 31, 2015, have not changed.adoption of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-09, as described in Note 3 below.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Share Based Compensation

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU 2016-09,Compensation – Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718),: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09The guidance identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share based payments, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity, or liabilities, an option to make a policy election to recognize gross share based compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur as well as certain classification changes on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 and elected to account for forfeitures when they occur, on a modified retrospective basis. As a result of this adoption, $0.6 million of additional stock based compensation expense, net of tax, was recorded to retained earnings on the date of adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment related to our accounting policy change for forfeitures. In accordance with the adoption of this guidance, the tax effect of differences between tax deductions related to stock compensation and the corresponding financial statement expense compensation will no longer be recorded to additional paid in capital in our balance sheet. Instead, such amounts will be recorded to tax expense. During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a tax expense of $0.5 million to differences (shortfalls) in stock compensation deductions realized in the first quarter and the corresponding amount of expense recognized for financial statement purposes. We also elected to

prospectively apply the change in presentation of excess tax benefits wherein excess tax benefits recognized on stock based compensation expense is now classified as an operating activity in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We did not adjust the classifications of excess tax benefits in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company isadoption did not have any other material impact on our financial statements.

Pending

Pension Benefits

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07 Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)-Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This guidance revises the presentation of the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. The new standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently assessingevaluating the impact that adoptingof the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will2017-07; however, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on itsour consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminated step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-04; however, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842),: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification,which replaces the existing guidance for leases. ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve month term, these arrangements must now be

recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires the use of the modified retrospective method, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Business Combinations

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16,Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement- Period Adjustments, which requires an entity to recognize adjustments made to provisional amounts that are identified in a business combination be recorded in the period such adjustments are determined, rather than retrospectively adjusting previously reported amounts. This guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Internal-Use Software

In April 2015, the 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. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Interest

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. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02,Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which 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. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated 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, with early adoption 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 our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU 2014-9,2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which providesoutlines a comprehensive newfive-step revenue recognition model based on principle that replaces virtually all existing revenue recognition under U.S. GAAP and which requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The standard requires retrospective application, however, it allows entities to choose either full retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, in which the cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings is recognized at the date of application, with additional disclosures required to describe these effects. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The guidance is effective for annual reporting and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early2017, with early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

We expect to adopt the standard on January 1, 2018, and at that time, we expect to apply the modified retrospective method of adoption. We have developed an implementation plan to adopt this new guidance. As part of this plan, we are currently assessing the impact of the new guidance on our results of operations. Based on our procedures performed to date, we have identified certain

7


revenue streams, specifically term and royalty-based license agreements, for which the standard could have a material impact; however, further analysis is required and we will continue to evaluate this assessment on a quarterly basis in 2017. Under the current guidance, revenue related to our term license agreements that are bundled with services related performance obligations for which vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) does not exist is required to be recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. However, under the new guidance, the Company will allocate revenue to each performance obligation in the agreement and each will require separate accounting treatment and lead to accelerated revenue recognition compared with current practice. The license portion will be recognized at the time of delivery and the service revenue will be recognized over time based on the standalone selling prices of each performance obligation. In addition, we have on occasion, offered extended payment terms for term licenses to our customers, including cases in which the license is delivered in full at the beginning of the contract. We currently recognize revenue under such arrangements when the payments become due, based upon the current requirement that the fee be fixed and determinable. However, under the new guidance, revenue related to such arrangements would be accelerated, with revenue related to the license recognized at the time of delivery, less a financing component (interest income) to be recognized over time based on the payment terms. Further, under the new guidance, we will be required to estimate royalty revenue from our royalty-based licenses in the period that the royalty-bearing event occurs, which is different from our current practice of recognizing royalty revenue when it is reported to us by the licensee, at which time the fee is deemed fixed and determinable. The Company is currentlystill in the process of evaluating these and its other revenue streams and quantifying the adoption method it will apply, and theexpected impact that this guidancethe standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Acquisitions

Swyft MediaOlapic

On January 30, 2015,August 9, 2016, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stockshares of TextPride,Olapic, 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.York; its wholly-owned subsidiaries Olapic UK Ltd., based in London, England; and becameOlapic Argentina S.A., based in Córdoba, Argentina (collectively, “Olapic”). Olapic is a wholly-owned subsidiaryprovider of the registrant.

The Company acquired Swyft MediaOlapic for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $17.0$123.7 million, consistingnet of $12.1cash acquired, which consisted of approximately $13.7 million in cash plusand $110.0 million borrowed from its line of credit. The Olapic Merger Agreement included an additional $9.0 million of consideration that has been placed in escrow and will be paid to the founders of Olapic contingent considerationupon their continued employment with the Company. Accordingly, this amount will be recognized as compensation expense over the service period contractually required to earn such amounts, which is $3.0 million after twenty four months and the remainder after thirty six months from the acquisition date. Monotype issued approximately $17.1 million of upa combination of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units to $15.0 million payable through 2018, which had anthe founders and employees of Olapic. These awards will vest over time based on continued employment, and accordingly will be accounted for as compensation expense. Seventy four employees from Olapic’s U.S. operations, eighty four employees from Olapic’s Argentina operations and forty UK and European employees joined the Company in connection with the acquisition. The results of operations of Olapic have been included in our consolidated results and revenue is included within the Creative Professional market beginning on August 9, 2016, the date of acquisition.

The purchase price allocation was finalized as of December 31, 2015.respectively, and is reflected in the tables above. 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 MediaOlapic 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, 2017, and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information currently available. Twelve employees joinedThe Company is in the Company in connection withprocess of completing its valuation of certain intangible assets, the acquisition.

On November 9, 2015, the Merger Agreement was amended and the Company accelerated the paymentvaluation of the contingent consideration. Underacquired deferred tax assets and liabilities. The final allocation of the Amendmentpurchase price to intangible assets, goodwill, deferred tax assets and liabilities may differ materially from the Merger Agreement, the contingent consideration has been fixed at $15.0information presented in these consolidated financial statements.

We included revenue of $3.6 million and is to be paid overa net loss of $7.4 million from the nextacquired Olapic operations within the Company’s consolidated operations for the three years, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. The difference between the fixed payments due under the amended agreement of $15.0 million, and the fair value of the contingent acquisition consideration liability immediately prior to the amendment totaled approximately $9.9 million. The Company paid the non-employee shareholders of Swyft Media $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, of which approximately $3.8 million was recognized as a charge to operations. The remaining $9.3 million payable to the founder-shareholders of Swyft Media is due in installments of approximately $2.0 million and $7.3 million to be paid in January 2018 and October 2018, respectively, contingent upon their continued employment through such dates. Accordingly, the excess of these payments over the accreted balance of the contingent acquisition consideration liability recognized in purchase accounting of $6.1 million is being accounted for as deferred compensation to be recognized as operating expenses throughout the term over which they are earned, on a straight-line basis. In the quartermonths ended March 31, 2016, approximately $0.6 million2017.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is based on 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 establishes 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: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. 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 from time to time 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 derivatives is based on quoted market prices from various banking institutions or an independent third partythird-party provider for similar instruments. In determining the fair value, we consider our non-performance risk and that of our counterparties. At March 31, 2016,2017, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell 2.42.7 million British pounds sterling and purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair value. There were no outstanding forward contractsvalue; and at December 31, 2015.2016, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell 2.8 million British pounds sterling and purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair value.

The Company’s non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities subject to non-recurring measurements include goodwill and intangible assets.

7. Debt

On September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “NewNew Credit Agreement”Agreement) by and among the Company, the Company’s subsidiary, Monotype Imaging Inc., any financial institution that becomes a Lender (as defined therein) and Silicon Valley Bank, as agent which provides for a five-year $150.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”Credit Facility). The Credit Facility permits the Company to request that the Lenders, at their election, increase the secured credit facility to a maximum of $200.0 million. The New Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $120.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Original Credit Agreement”) by and betweenFacility is available to the Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. The Original Credit Agreement was terminated effectiveon a revolving basis through September 15, 20152020. Repayment of any amounts borrowed is not required until maturity of the Credit Facility; however, the Company may repay any amounts borrowed at any time, without premium or penalty. At March 31, 2017 and was scheduled to expire on July 13, 2016.December 31, 2016, the Company had $102.0 million and $105.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, available borrowings under the Credit Facility have been reduced by approximately $0.5 million for one standby letter of credit issued in connection with a facility lease agreement, leaving $47.5 million and $44.5 million available for borrowing at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate not less than zero based upon, at the Company’s option, either LIBOR or the higher of (i) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, and (ii) 0.5% plus the overnight federal funds rate, plus in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75% per annum, and the applicable margin for base rate loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is either 0.25%, 0.50% or 0.75%% per annum. At March 31, 2017, our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 2.6% for LIBOR, and at December 31, 2016, our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 1.9%2.5% for LIBOR. At

As of March 31, 2016,2017, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee, based on the applicable leverage ratio, equal to 0.20%, 0.25% or 0.30% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred closing and legal fees of approximately $1.0 million, which have been accounted for as deferred financing costs and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Agreement.

In addition to other covenants, the New Credit Agreement places limits on the Company 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. The New Credit Agreement also contains events of default, and affirmative covenants, including financial maintenance covenants which include (i) a maximum leverage ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 3.00 to permitted was 3.00:1.00 and (ii) aour leverage ratio was 2.01:1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2016, our leverage ratio was 0.00: 1.25:1.00 and our fixed charge ratio was 4.19: 5.28:1.00. Adjusted EBITDA, under the Credit Facility, is defined as consolidated net income (or loss), plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share based compensation expense, plus acquisition expenses not to exceed $2.0 million on a trailing twelve month basis, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cash non-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cash non-operating gains and other non-cash gains. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the Lenders under the New Credit Agreement to declare all amounts borrowed under the New Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible property by a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and by a pledge by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries of 65% of the equity of their direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions. In addition to other covenants, the New Credit Agreement places limits on the Company 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. The Company was in compliance with allthe covenants under ourthe Credit Facility as of March 31, 2016 and 2015.2017.

10. Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Basic andFor the three months ended March 31, 2017, the net (loss) available to common shareholders is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to calculate diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant toshare. For the two-class method. The two-class method determines earningsthree months ended March 31, 2017, the assumed exercise of stock options and assumed vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units were not included in the computation of net (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security according toas 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 ASC 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.

effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the periods presentedthree months ended March 31, 2016, the two-class method was used in the computation of diluted net income per share, as the result was more dilutive.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Share repurchases

On August 30, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share purchase program permitting repurchases of up to $25.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2017. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company repurchased a total of 27,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $0.6 million, including brokers’ fees. Intended to offset shareholder dilution, the Company expects to make repurchases periodically, either on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability, as business and market conditions warrant. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at management’s and/or the Board of Director’s discretion.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for share based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation,which requires the measurement of compensation costs at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest.

12. 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.

Geographic segment information

The Company attributesEffective as of January 1, 2017, our presentation of geographic revenue has been changed to better align with how our business operates. As a result, we now report revenue based on the geographic areaslocation of our customers, rather than based on the location of our subsidiary receiving such revenue. For example, licenses may be sold to large international companies which may be headquartered in the Republic of Korea, but the sales are received and recorded by our subsidiary located in the United States, or U.S. In this example, the revenue would be reflected in the U.S. totalsStates. Historically, in the table below. below such revenues would be included in the revenue for the United States, whereas for our new presentation, such revenues would be reported in the Republic of Korea and included in the revenue for Rest of World. Geographic revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 has been recast to conform to this presentation.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be a party to various claims, suits and complaints. We do not believe that there are claims or legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Licensing Warranty

Under our standard license agreement with our OEM customers, we warrant that the licensed technologies are free of infringement claims of intellectual property rights and will meet the specifications as defined in the licensing agreement for a one yearone-year period. Under the licensing agreements, liability for such indemnity obligations is limited, generally to the total arrangement fee; however, exceptions have been made on a case-by-case basis, increasing the maximum potential liability to agreed upon amounts at the time the contract is entered into or unlimited liability. We have never incurred costs payable to a customer or business partner to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these warranties, and as a result, management believes the estimated fair value of these warranties is minimal. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded for these warranties as of March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.

14. Subsequent Events

Dividend Declaration

On April 26, 201627, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared an $0.11$0.113 per share quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date is set for July 1, 20163, 2017, and the dividend is payable to shareholders of record on July 21, 2016.2017. Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and depend on actual cash from operations, the Company’s financial condition and capital requirements and any other factors the Company’s Board of Directors may consider relevant. Future dividend declarations, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

Sources of Revenue

We derive revenue from two principal sources: licensing our fonts and font related servicestechnology to creativebrands and businesscreative professionals, which we refer to as our Creative Professional revenue, and licensing our text imaging solutions to consumer device manufacturers and independent software vendors, which we refer to as our OEM revenue. We derive our Creative Professional revenue primarily from brands, agencies, publishers, corporations, enterprises, small businesses and individuals. We derive our OEM revenue primarily from consumer device manufacturers. Some of our revenue streams, particularly project-related and custom revenue where spending is largely discretionary in nature, have historically been, and we expect them to continue to be in the future, susceptible to weakening economic conditions.

GeographicEffective as of January 1, 2017, our presentation of geographic revenue which ishas been changed to better align with how our business operates. As a result, we now report revenue based on the geographic location of our customers, rather than based on the location of our subsidiary receiving such revenue. For example, licenses may be sold to large international companies which may be headquartered in the Republic of Korea, but the sales are received and recorded by our subsidiary located in the United States. Historically, such revenues would be included in the revenue isfor the United States in the table below:below, whereas for our new presentation, such revenues would be reported in the Republic of Korea and included in the revenue for Rest of World in the table below. Geographic revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 has been recast to conform to this presentation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, revenue by our subsidiaries locatedfrom customers outside the United States comprised 46.8%55.0% and 46.0%59.5%, 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 electronic devices. For the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, our top ten licensees by revenue, most of which are OEM customers, accounted for approximately 32.3%31.3% and 36.9%32.3% of our total revenue, respectively. Although no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 20162017 or 2015,2016, 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 primarily 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, e-mail and indirectly through third-party resellers. FontWeb font and digital ad 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,font design services, 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 are generally recognized upon delivery. Font relateddelivery, unless it is part of a bundled services arrangement, in which case, it is recognized over the longest service period. In addition, Creative Professional revenue includes revenue derived from our software as a service, or SaaS, offerings. Web font and digital ad service revenue is mainly self-hosted and recorded upon delivery. Revenue from Olapic’s Earned Content platform is a SaaS-based, subscription basedmodel. Company hosted subscription-based arrangements and it may containour software as a service. Theservice products are accounted for as 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 payment by the customer and proof of font delivery, when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Contract accounting, completed contract for short-term projects and percentage-of-completion for long-term projects, is used where services are deemed essential to the software.

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 fonts and technology 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 shipped by the customer, ships, but instead, customers pay us on a periodic basis for the right to embed our fonts and technology.technology in their products over a certain term. 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 fonts 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 fiscal quarter 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, is not bundled with any time-based elements and collection is probable. OEM revenue also includes project-related agreements for which contract accounting, completed contract for short-term projects and percentage-of-completion for long-term projects, 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 font design services.services and cloud-based web services costs related to our SaaS-based offerings. 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 ishas typically had a lower cost 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 costWe have achieved improved margins on our Creative Professional revenue as a result of ourproduct mix and lower royalty rates. In addition, Creative Professional revenue includes custom font design service revenue, iswhich has a substantially higher cost than our other revenue. Our gross profit margin may vary depending on the costmix of revenue between sales of our other revenuefonts and as a result, our gross margin varies from period-to-periodsales of third-party fonts, and depending on the level of custom font design revenue recorded.service revenue.

Cost of revenue also includes amortization of acquired technology, which we amortize over 87 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. 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. WithinIn addition, within our Creative Professional business, the cost of our custom font design service revenue is substantially higher than the cost of our other revenue. AsThe relative cost of our Creative Professional revenue has decreased in recent periods, as efforts to sell license rights to more fonts that we own have been successful, and because we have recently experienced success in our effort to sell certain license rights that carry lower royalty rates to Creative Professional customers. Our Creative Professional revenue is growing at a result,faster rate than our OEM revenue. We expect these trends to continue. Our gross profit variesis subject to variability from period-to-period, depending on the product mix between, and within, Creative Professional and OEMthe level of custom font design service 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, 2015. Information about our critical accounting policies may be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016, except for the adoption as of January 1, 2017, of guidance in ASU 2016-09 as more fully described in Note 3 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly statements.

The following discussion compares the three months ended March 31, 20162017 with the three months ended March 31, 2015.2016.

Revenue by Market

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. The following table presents revenue for these two principal markets (in thousands):

Revenue from our display imaging consumer electronic OEM customers increaseddecreased period over period, and was partially offset by decreased royalty revenue from our printer imaging electronic OEM customers, primarily due to lower volumes of shipments by our display imaging customers, which was partially offset by increased revenue from our printer imaging customers.electronic OEM customers, as we continue to convert customers to fixed fee contracts from royalty bearing contracts.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was $8.3$8.8 million and $7.4$8.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. The increase in dollarscost of revenue is partially due to increaseda result of the increase in revenue, and partially due to changes in product mix, period over period. As a percentage of sales, cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was unchanged at 16.7% and 16.1% of total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, our effective tax rate was 36.7%8.6% and 32.6%36.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate of 8.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is significantly lower than the 2016 rate of 36.7% for two reasons. First, due to the fact that the Company’s pre-tax income for 2017 is lower than 2016 pre-tax income, the effect of permanent items on the tax rate is proportionally greater in 2017, than in 2016. Secondly, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included an expense of 40.1% related to a net shortfall on stock compensation. We adopted ASU 2016-09,Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payments on January 1, 2017 which specifies that all tax effects related to share based payments will be recorded through the income statement. There was no similar item in the same period in 2016, as these items were recorded to equity prior to the adoption of this standard. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 20162017 included a charge of 20.9% for non-deductible expenses, as compared to a charge of 1.9% for non-deductible expenses recognizedthe three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is due to deferred compensation associated with the Olapic acquisition and also due to the Amendmentfact that the impact of the non-deductible expenses as a percentage of pre-tax income is higher in 2017 as compared to 2016, as a result of the Swyft Media Merger Agreement.decrease in overall pre-tax income . The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 20162017 included a benefit of 0.8%5.0% for research credits. There was no similar item in the same period in 2015,credits, as the legislation for the credit for 2015 had not yet been passed. In addition, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 includedcompared to a benefit of 3.1% for the reversal of reserves, in connection with a settlement of the tax audit related to Monotype KK, the Company’s subsidiary in Japan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 20152017and 2016.

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 one year from the next twelve months.issuance of these financial statements. At March 31, 2016,2017, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $95.4$86.9 million and a $150.0 million revolving credit facility, of which there were nowas $102.0 million of outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2016.borrowings. On October 23, 2013,August 30, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $50.0$25.0 million of our outstanding common stock, overwhich permits purchases through December 31, 2017. In the following two years, and in the first quarter of 2015,three months ended March 31, 2017, we used $6.1 million of cash to repurchase shares. This program was completed in June 2015, after reaching our maximum cumulative spend. We also used $0.4$0.7 million in cash to repurchasepurchase shares under the plan. Olapic has, and will continue to operate at a net loss in excess of our previously approved share repurchase program.the near term. 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 variationsVariations in operating cash flows may occur because, from time-to-time, because our enterprise customers make prepayments against future royalties. Prepayments may beupfront payments on subscription revenue. These payments are required under the terms of our license agreements and are occasionally made on an elective basis and oftencan cause large fluctuations in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. The timing and extent of such prepaymentspayments may significantly impactsimpact our cash balances.

We generated $5.1 million in cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Net loss, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, accreted interest, stock based compensation, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, and unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions generated $5.4 million in cash. Decreased accrued expenses and accounts payable used $4.5 million in cash, primarily a result of the payment of 2016 accrued variable compensation. Increased deferred revenue and decreased accounts receivable, offset by increased prepaid expenses generated $4.8 million in cash, mainly due to timing. Accrued income taxes used $0.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

We generated $11.2 million in cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, accreted interest, sharestock based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, and unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions generated $14.7 million in cash. Decreased accrued expenses and increased prepaid expenses and other assets, net of increased accounts payable used $1.1 million in cash, primarily a result of the payment of 2015 accrued variable compensation amounts. Increased accounts receivable and decreased deferred revenue used $1.3 million in cash, mainly due to timing of customer payments. Accrued income taxes used $1.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Credit Facility

On September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “NewNew Credit Agreement”Agreement) by and among the Company, the Company’s subsidiary, Monotype Imaging Inc., any financial institution that becomes a Lender (as defined therein) and Silicon Valley Bank, as agent which provides for a five-year $150.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”Credit Facility). The Credit Facility permits the Company to request that the Lenders, at their election, increase the secured credit facility to a maximum of $200.0 million. The Credit Facility provides more attractive interest rates and a lower commitment fee than those under the Original Credit Agreement, as defined below. The New Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $120.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Original Credit Agreement”) by and betweenis available to the Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. The Original Credit Agreement was terminated effectiveon a revolving basis through September 15, 2015 and was scheduled to expire on July 13, 2016.

2020. Repayment of any amounts borrowed is not required until maturity of the Credit Facility; however, the Company may repay any amounts borrowed at any time, without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest through September 15, 2020 at a variable rate not less than zero based upon, at the Company’s option, either LIBOR or the higher of (i) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, and (ii) 0.5% plus the overnight federal funds rate, plus in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans, based on the

applicable leverage ratio, is 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75% per annum, and the applicable margin for base rate loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is either 0.25%, 0.50% or 0.75%% per annum. At March 31, 2017, our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 2.6 for LIBOR, and at December 31, 2016, our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 1.9%2.5% for LIBOR. At March 31, 2016 theThe Company had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee, based on the applicable leverage ratio, equal to 0.20%, 0.25% or 0.30% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred closing and legal fees of approximately $1.0 million in 2015, which have been accounted for as deferred financing costs and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Agreement.

In addition to other covenants, the New Credit Agreement places limits on the Company 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. The New Credit Agreement also contains events of default, and affirmative covenants, including financial maintenance covenants which include (i) a maximum ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. Adjusted EBITDA,borrowings under the Credit Facility is defined as consolidated net income (or loss), plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciationof $102.0 million at March 31, 2017, and amortization,$105.0 million at December 31, 2016. The Credit Facility has $0.5 million reserved for one stand-by letter of credit in connection with a facility lease agreement. There was $47.5 million available for borrowing at March 31, 2017, and share based compensation expense, plus acquisition expenses not to exceed $2.0$44.5 million on a trailing twelve month basis, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cash non-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cash non-operating gains and other non-cash gains. was available at December 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2016,2017, the maximum leverage ratio permitted was 3.00:1.00 and our leverage ratio was 0.00:2.01:1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.25:1.00 and our fixed charge ratio was 4.19:5.28:1.00. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the Lenders under the New Credit Agreement to declare all amounts borrowed under the New Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible property by a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and by a pledge by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries of 65% of the equity of their direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions. In addition to other covenants, the New Credit Agreement places limits on the Company 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. The Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017.

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 from operations and net income. 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 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, we 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 is a meaningful element in our financial statements and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. Non-cash expenses, restructuring, issuance and cash non-operating

23


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.

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, 2016.2017.

Non-GAAP Measures

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we discuss a key measure that is 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 November 2015, we revised our definition of non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of acquisition-related contingent consideration adjustments. The impact of these adjustments has been added back in calculating non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA. This change more accurately reflects management’s view of the Company’s business and financial performance.

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we discuss another 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 share 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. We believe that non-GAAP earnings per diluted share 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.

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 debt and municipal securities, with maturities less than 90 days. Deposits of cash held outside the United States totaled approximately $16.3$16.5 million and $15.3$16.3 million at March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, 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. As of March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, no customers individually accounted for 10% or more 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. Our Creative Professional business consists of a higher volume of lower dollar value transactions. Accordingly, as the percent of Creative Professional revenue increases in relation to total revenue, we expect the average time to collect our accounts receivables, and our overall accounts receivables balances, to increase.

For the three months ended March 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, 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,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-term debt. The interest rate on our Credit Facility fluctuates with either the prime rate or the LIBOR interest rate. At March 31, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company had no borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility.Facility of $102.0 million and $105.0 million, respectively. 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, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries locatedrevenue from customers outside North America,the United States, particularly the U.K, GermanyEMEA and Japan, comprised 46.8%55.0% and 46.0%59.5%, respectively, of our total revenue. An effect of a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro or Japanese yen and or Argentine peso, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have decreased our revenues by $5.0$2.7 million, decreased expenses by $3.1$2.3 million and decreased operating income by $0.9$0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.2017. 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 in 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, 2016,2017, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell 2.42.7 million British poundspound sterling and to purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair value. There were no outstanding forward contractsvalue, and at December 31, 2015.2016, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell 2.8 million British pound sterling and to purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair value.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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, 2016.2017. 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, 2016,2017, 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
