The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 and for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016 ~~and 2015~~ 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, ~~2015~~2016, 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 September 30, 2016, the Company’s significant accounting policies and ~~estimates, which~~practices are ~~detailed~~as described in the ~~Company’s~~ Annual Report, ~~on Form 10-K~~except 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.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ~~Accounting Standards Update, or~~ ASU 2016-09,Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718),: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ~~ASU 2016-09~~The 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 is~~adoption did not have any other material impact on our financial statements.

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 ~~assessing~~evaluating the impact ~~that adopting~~of the adoption of ASU ~~2016-09 will~~2017-07; however, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on ~~its~~our consolidated financial statements.

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.

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.

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.

~~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.

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 ~~provides~~outlines a comprehensive ~~new~~five-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. Early~~2017, 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

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 ~~currently~~still in the process of evaluating these and its other revenue streams and quantifying the ~~adoption method it will apply, and the~~expected impact that ~~this~~the standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

On August 9, 2016, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Olapic, Inc., a privately-held company located in New York, New York; its wholly-owned subsidiaries Olapic UK Ltd., based in London, England; and Olapic Argentina S.A., based in Córdoba, Argentina (collectively, “Olapic”). Olapic is a provider of a leading visual commerce platform for collecting, curating, showcasing and measuring crowd sourced photos and videos. Olapic’s Earned Content Platform helps brands collect, curate, use and analyze user-generated content in the form of images and videos in their ecommerce experiences and across multiple marketing channels. This allows consumers to make more educated purchasing decisions, discover new products and connect to the brand’s community. ~~The Company~~Olapic leverages photos and videos from social network sites to help to create powerful branded experiences that drive consumer engagement and increase conversions. The Company acquired Olapic for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $123.7 million, ~~consisting~~net of cash acquired, which consisted of approximately $13.7 million in cash and ~~borrowed~~ $110.0 million borrowed from its line of ~~credit, net of cash acquired.~~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 upon 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 a combination of restricted stock awards orand restricted stock units to the 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 table below provides the Olapic employees by functional area who ~~have~~ joined the Company in connection with the acquisition:

The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, as noted below (in thousands):


	Estimated Fair Value at Acquisition Date			Estimated Fair Value at Acquisition Date
Cash	$	5,942		$	5,942

A portion of the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets and goodwill, 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 Olapic 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 ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information currently available. The Company is in the process of completing its valuation of certain intangible assets, the valuation of the acquired deferred tax assets and liabilities. 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.

We ~~recorded~~included revenue of ~~$2.0~~$3.6 million and a net loss of ~~$4.6~~$7.4 million from the acquired Olapic ~~since~~operations within the ~~acquisition date, which is included in our condensed~~Company’s consolidated statements of income, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Transaction costs of $0.7 million and $1.1 million are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of incomeoperations for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2016, respectively.~~March 31, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the transactions actually taken place at the beginning of the periods indicated.

Fair value is defined 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 established 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~~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-party provider for similar instruments. In determining the fair value, we consider our non-performance risk and that of our counterparties. At ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell ~~2.6~~2.7 million British ~~pound~~pounds sterling and purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair ~~value.

On September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit 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”). 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 is available to the Company on a revolving basis through September 15, 2020. Repayment of any amounts borrowed ~~are~~is not required until maturity of the Credit ~~Facility. However,~~Facility; however, the Company may repay any amounts borrowed at any time, without premium or penalty. ~~The New Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $120.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Original Credit Agreement”) by~~At March 31, 2017 and ~~between the Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. The Original Credit Agreement was terminated effective September 15, 2015 and was scheduled to expire on July 13, 2016. At September 30,~~December 31, 2016, the Company had ~~$110.0~~$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 ~~September 30,~~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 ~~1.8%~~2.5% for LIBOR. ~~The Company is required to pay a commitment fee, based on~~

As of March 31, 2017, the ~~applicable~~maximum 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 $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 ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 3.00 to permitted was 3.00:1.00 and ~~(ii) a~~our leverage ratio was 2.01:1.00 and the minimum ~~consolidated~~ fixed charge coverage ratio ~~of 1.25 to 1.00. At September 30, 2016, our leverage ratio~~ was ~~1.69:~~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 ~~all~~the covenants under ~~our~~the Credit Facility as of ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017.

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.

A reconciliation of income taxes computed at federal statutory rates to income tax expense is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

~~At September 30, 2016,~~As of March 31, 2017, the reserve for uncertain tax positions was approximately ~~$6.0~~$6.6 million. Of this amount, ~~$3.6~~$4.1 million is recorded as a reduction of deferred tax assets and ~~$2.4~~$2.5 million is classified as long term liabilities.

The permanent non-deductible acquisition related expense consists of purchase consideration primarily from the Olapic and Swyft acquisitions that is contingent on continued employment of key employees. For financial reporting purposes, these amounts are treated as compensation expense recognized ratably over the minimum required employment periods, which range from January 2018 to August 2019. Since these transactions were accounted for as stock acquisitions, such amounts are not deductible for tax purposes. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company settled a tax audit related to its Japan subsidiary. As a result of this settlement, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.3 million. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company settled a tax audit related to its 2012 U.S. federal tax return. As a result of this settlement, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.2 million. Additionally, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as a result of the expiration of the 2011 U.S. federal statute of limitations.

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 ~~third~~ quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company repurchased a total of ~~2016, there were no purchases~~27,000 shares of its common stock ~~under the program.~~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.

We account for share based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718,~~Compensation—~~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.

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. ~~Olapic’s revenue has been included in our Creative Professional market.~~ The following table presents revenue for these two major markets (in thousands):

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. ~~In this example,~~Historically, in the table below such revenues would be included in the revenue ~~would be reflected in~~for the United States, ~~totals~~whereas for our new presentation, such revenues would be reported in the ~~table below.~~ Republic of Korea and included in the revenue for Rest of World.

We conduct operations in facilities under operating leases expiring through 2025. In accordance with the lease terms, we pay real estate taxes and other operating costs. Our leases in California, New York, Massachusetts, Germany, India and Republic of Korea contain renewal options. The Company’s future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2016 are approximately as follows (in thousands):

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.

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 ~~believe~~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.

On August 9, 2016, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Olapic, Inc., a privately-held company located in located in New York, New York; its wholly-owned subsidiaries Olapic UK Ltd., based in London, England; and Olapic Argentina S.A., based in Córdoba, Argentina. Olapic is a provider of a leading visual commerce platform for collecting, curating, showcasing and measuring crowd sourced photos and videos. Olapic’s Earned Content Platform helps brands collect, curate, use and analyze user-generated content in the form of images and videos in their ecommerce experiences and across multiple marketing channels. This allows consumers to make more educated purchasing decisions, discover new products and connect to the brand’s community. The Company leverages photos and videos from social network sites to help to create powerful branded experiences that drive consumer engagement and increase conversions. The Company acquired Olapic for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $123.7 million, consisting of approximately $13.7 million in cash and borrowed $110.0 million from its line of credit, net of cash acquired. The 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 upon 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 a combination of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units to the 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 five employees from Olapic’s U.S. operations, eighty five employees from Olapic’s Argentina operations and forty one 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. In connection with the acquisition, we recorded $88.7 million of goodwill. The goodwill reflects the value of the synergies we expect to realize and the assembled workforce. The acquisition of Olapic 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 September 30, 2016, 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.

We derive revenue from two principal sources: ~~primarily~~ licensing our fonts and ~~font related services~~technology to ~~creative~~brands and ~~business~~creative 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 ~~font design services~~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.

~~Geographic~~Effective as of January 1, 2017, our presentation of geographic revenue ~~which is~~has 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.

We market our products and services principally through offices in the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, China, Republic of Korea and Japan. The following summarizes revenue by customer location (in thousands of dollars, except percentages):

For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries located~~revenue from customers outside the United States comprised ~~38.3%~~55.0% and ~~45.0%~~59.5%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries located outside the United States comprised 43.0% and 44.6%, respectively, of our total revenue. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, U.S. revenue as a percent of total revenue increased due to the Olapic acquisition. 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 ~~fonts and font technology~~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.~~electronic devices. For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ our top ten licensees by revenue, most of which are OEM customers, accounted for approximately ~~33.5%~~31.3% and 34.5% of our total revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our top ten licensees by revenue, most of which are OEM customers, accounted for approximately 30.9% and 34.4%32.3% of our total revenue, respectively. Although no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three ~~or nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 or 2016, ~~or 2015,~~ if we are unable to maintain relationships with major customers or establish relationships with new customers, our licensing revenue will be adversely affected.

Our Creative Professional revenue is primarily derived ~~primarily~~ 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. ~~Font~~Web 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. ~~Through our recent acquisition, we also license access to Olapic’s Earned Content Platform, application software, to brands.~~ We refer to direct, indirect and custom 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, unless it is part of a bundled services arrangement, in which case, it is recognized over the longest service period. ~~Font related~~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 ~~based~~model. Company hosted subscription-based arrangements and ~~it may contain software as a service. Substantially all of Olapic’s revenue consists of subscription-based~~our software as a service ~~(“SaaS”). Subscription~~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.

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, but instead, customers pay us on a periodic basis for the right to embed our fonts and technology in their ~~products.~~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.

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. Our cost of revenue also consists of server~~services and ~~hosting fees and moderating fees~~cloud-based web services costs related to ~~delivery of Olapic’s SaaS services.~~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 has 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. We have achieved improved margins on our Creative Professional revenue as a result of product mix and lower royalty rates. In addition, Creative Professional revenue includes custom font design service revenue, which has a substantially higher cost than our other revenue. Our gross profit margin may vary depending on the mix of revenue between sales of our fonts and sales of ~~third party~~third-party fonts, and depending on the level of custom font design 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.

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. In 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. The relative cost of our Creative Professional revenue has decreased in recent periods, as efforts to sell license rights to more ~~of our~~ 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 faster rate than our OEM revenue. We expect these trends to continue. Our gross profit is subject to variability from period-to-period, depending on the product mix and the level of custom font design service revenue.

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 ~~Part II, Item 7,~~ “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies,” ofincluded 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, 2017 with the three months ended March 31, 2016.

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):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016		Increase/ (Decrease)
Creative Professional	$	27,071	$	23,915	$	3,156

Creative Professional revenue increased ~~$5.3~~$3.2 million, or ~~23.7%~~13.2%, to ~~$27.8~~$27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, mainly due to revenue from Olapic and an increase in recurring revenue primarily due to continued growth in sales of recurring licenses and digital ad revenue in the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, as compared to ~~$22.5~~the same period in 2016.

OEM revenue was $25.4 million and $25.9 million in the ~~three months ended September 30, 2015, mainly due to increased direct revenue~~first quarter of 2017 and revenue from Olapic. Direct revenue increased partially due to licenses of digital ads and partially due to increased recurring licenses of fonts for web server applications to enterprise customers. Olapic subscription sales also contributed to the increase in Creative Professional revenue period over period.

~~OEM revenue was $24.4 million and $26.9 million in the three months ended September 30,~~ 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ respectively, a decrease of ~~$2.5~~$0.5 million, or ~~9.1%~~2.1%. ~~Decreased royalty revenue~~Revenue from our ~~printer OEM customers and~~ display imaging consumer electronic OEM customers ~~was mainly~~decreased period over period, primarily due to lower ~~volume~~volumes of shipments ~~and decreased license~~by our display imaging customers, which was partially offset by increased revenue from our ~~independent software vendor customers.~~printer imaging electronic OEM customers, as we continue to convert customers to fixed fee contracts from royalty bearing contracts.

Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was ~~$8.5~~$8.8 million and ~~$7.4~~$8.3 million ~~for~~in the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million, or 16.1%.~~respectively.

As a ~~higher proportion~~percentage of ~~Creative Professional~~sales, cost of revenue, ~~in our mix~~excluding amortization of total revenue, which typically has a higher associated cost than OEM, partially offset by improved margins on our Creative Professional revenue with enterprise customers, as compared to the third quarter of 2015. Further, our Creative Professional revenue has grown organically and from the acquisition of Olapic, while our OEM revenue has declined as described above.

Interest expense, net of interest income was $0.4 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million, or 48.1%. Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to outstanding debt and unused line fees. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2016 was $110.0 million, which was drawn on our revolving credit facility in connection with our acquisition of Olapic Inc. on August 9, 2016. There was no debt outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2015 consisted mainly of unused line fees in connection with our original credit facility.

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, which was incurred in connection with the refinancing of our Credit Facility in September 2015. There was no similar item in the same period in 2016.

Losses on foreign exchange were $0.4 million and $44 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the Japanese Yen as compared to the US dollar.

~~Gain on derivatives was $0.1~~$0.6 million and $0.1 million ~~in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily due to our 30-day forward currency contracts.~~

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our effective tax rate was 52.7% and 27.0%, respectively. The increase in our effective rate is primarily due to a charge of 17.6% for non-deductible acquisition related expenses primarily from Olapic and Swyft that is contingent on continued employment. This is treated as compensation expense for GAAP purposes and is not deductible for tax purposes. This was partially offset by a benefit of 2.8% for research credits. There were no similar items in the same period in 2015. The legislation for the research credit for 2015 had not yet been passed as of September 30, 2015. The effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, included a benefit of 4.9% for foreign rate differential, an increased benefit of 4.2% resulting from increased pretax net income in our UK subsidiaries, which is taxed at a lower rate than the applicable U.S. statutory rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 included a benefit of 6.3% for the reversal of reserves in connection with a settlement of a U.S. federal tax audit of the Company’s 2012 tax return and the expiration of the statute of limitations on reserves related to the Company’s 2011 tax returns. There was no similar item in the same period in 2016. The effective tax rate included a charge of 3.0% for the third quarter of 2016 for state and local income taxes, net of federal benefit, as compared to a charge of 1.2% in 2015.

~~Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015~~

~~The following table sets forth items in the condensed consolidated year-to-date statements of income as a percentage of sales for the periods indicated:~~

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

~~Revenue was $150.8 million and $141.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015,~~ respectively, an increase of ~~$9.0~~$0.5 million, or ~~6.3%.~~

~~Creative Professional revenue increased $11.5 million, or 18.1%~~484.3%, ~~to $75.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $63.7 million in the same period in 2015,~~ mainly due to increased direct revenue and revenue from Olapic. Direct revenue increased due to licenses of digital ads and increased recurring licenses of web font services and fonts for web server applications to enterprise customers, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015. Olapic subscription sales also contributed to the increase in Creative Professional revenue, period over period.

OEM revenue was $75.6 million and $78.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 3.2%. Decreased revenue from per unit royalty arrangements with our printer imaging electronic OEM customers, primarily due to lower volume of shipments, and decreased revenue from our independent software vendor customers, mainly due to the timing of revenue, was partially offset by increased revenue from our automotive display imaging OEM customers, period over period.

Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was $24.4 million and $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $2.1 million, or 9.5%. The increase in cost of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is a result of a higher proportion of Creative Professional revenue in our mix of total revenue which typically has a higher associated cost than OEM, partially offset by improved margins on our Creative Professional revenue with enterprise customers, as compared to the third quarter of 2015. Further, our Creative Professional revenue has grown organically and from the acquisition of Olapic, while our OEM revenue has declined as described above. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Creative Professional revenue was 49.8% of total revenue, as compared to 44.9% of total revenue in the same period in 2015.

Amortization of acquired technology was $3.6 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 8.3%, primarily due to our acquisition of Olapic.

~~Gross profit was 81.4% and 81.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of 0.5 percentage points, due to variations in product mix as detailed above.~~

~~Marketing and Selling.~~Marketing and selling expense was $45.3 million and $43.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $2.3 million, or 5.3%. Personnel expenses increased $4.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015 due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic and other targeted hiring, and additional compensation expense in connection with an amendment to the Swyft Media Merger Agreement executed in November 2015. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in headcount due to a redeployment of certain employees at the beginning of 2016 to development related activities from our sales and marketing organization. The increase was also partially offset by decreased marketing related expenses of $1.8 million due to the timing of targeted spending, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015. Lower bank fees on web sales and a decrease in bad debt together contributed a decrease of $0.6 million, period over period.

~~Research and Development.~~ Research and development expense increased $4.9 million, or 29.9%, to $21.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $4.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic. Higher infrastructure expenses, primarily software licenses and facilities related expenses, contributed $0.5 million to the increase in research and development in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, a result of increased headcount. External consulting and related software development increased $0.4 million period over period. These increases were partially offset by a grant received related to the Company’s development work within Northern Ireland which contributed a decrease of $0.5 million.

~~General and Administrative.~~ General and administrative expense increased $6.7 million, or 30.6%, to $28.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $22.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $5.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic and other targeted hiring. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $0.6 million of personnel expenses were capitalized in connection with our new ERP system. As the system was placed into service in the third quarter of 2015, there was no capitalization benefit in the same period in 2016, and associated depreciation expense contributed an additional $0.9 million to the overall increase in general and administrative expense. Professional service expense increased $0.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to ongoing ERP system support.

~~Amortization of Other Intangible Assets.~~ ~~Amortization of other intangible assets was $2.4 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September, 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.~~

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $0.5 million and $0.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 29.2%. The decrease in interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was partially due to a reduction in the unused line fee rate, in connection with the refinancing of our revolving credit facility in September 2015, and was partially offset by interest expense on the borrowings under our revolving line of ~~credit. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2016 was $110.0 million, which was drawn on our revolving~~ credit ~~facility~~ in connection with our acquisition of Olapic Inc. on August 9, 2016. Prior to August 9, 2016, there was no debt outstanding. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense consisted mainly of unused line fees in connection with our original credit facility, as there was no debt outstanding.

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which was incurred in connection with the refinancing of our Credit Facility in September 2015. There was no similar item in the same period in 2016.2017.

Loss on foreign exchange was $0.6 million and $0.8 million ~~and $0.7 million for~~in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ respectively, an increase of ~~$0.1 million, or 21.0%, mainly due to~~$0.2 million. The loss in both periods was primarily the ~~revaluation~~result of currency fluctuations on our foreign denominated ~~liabilities.~~receivables and payables.

~~Gain~~(Loss) gain on derivatives was ~~$0.3 million and $48~~a loss of $54 thousand, ~~and for~~as compared to a gain of $6 thousand in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ respectively, ~~resulting from~~the net result of changes in the market value of our 30-day forward currency derivative contracts.

~~Our~~For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, our effective tax rate was ~~40.1%~~8.6% and ~~31.3%~~36.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate of 8.6% for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 is significantly lower than the 2016 ~~and 2015, respectively. The increase in our effective~~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 primarily due to a charge of 5.5% for non-deductible acquisition related expenses, partially offset by a benefit of 1.2% for research credits. The non-deductible acquisition related expense consists of purchase consideration primarily from Olapic and Swyft that is contingent on continued employment. This is compensation expense for GAAP purposes and is not deductible for tax purposes. There were no similar itemsproportionally greater in ~~the same period~~2017, than in ~~2015 as~~2016. Secondly, the ~~legislation for the research credit for 2015 had not yet been passed as of September 30, 2015. The~~ effective tax rate for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 included ~~a benefit~~an expense of ~~2.1% for foreign income and dividends, as compared~~40.1% related to a ~~benefit of 0.8% in 2015, primarily resulting from the proportion of income increased in our UK subsidiary,~~net shortfall on stock compensation.

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, 2017 included a charge of 20.9% for non-deductible expenses, as compared to a charge of 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is due to deferred compensation associated with the Olapic acquisition and also due to the fact 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 decrease in overall pre-tax income . The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 included a benefit of 5.0% for research credits, as compared to a benefit of 0.8% in the same period in 2016.

Cash Flows for the ~~Nine~~Three Months Ended ~~September 30, 2016 and 2015~~March 31, 2017and 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 ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling ~~$97.6~~$86.9 million and a $150.0 million revolving ~~Credit Facility,~~credit facility, of which ~~we have borrowed $110.0~~there was $102.0 million ~~for the acquisition~~ of ~~Olapic Inc. on August 9, 2016.~~outstanding borrowings.

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 ~~September 30,~~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 ~~1.8%~~2.5% for LIBOR. 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 ofhad outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred closing and legal fees of $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, $0.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the pro-rata share of prior loan syndicate lenders that did not participate in the new facility were written off and charged to other expense in the third quarter of 2015.

As of ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 2017, the maximum leverage ratio permitted was 3.00:1.00 and our leverage ratio was ~~1.69:~~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.

The following table presents a reconciliation from net (loss) income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure, to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our ~~Credit Facility~~credit facilities (in thousands):

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 ~~the~~all covenants under our Credit Facility as of ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2017.

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we ~~rely internally on certain measures~~discuss a key measure that ~~are~~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 aanother 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 ~~share~~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. 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 non-GAAP earnings per diluted share may be valuable indicators of our operating performance.

The table below summarizes our operating lease contractual obligations at September 30, 2016 and the effects of such obligations on liquidity and cash flow in future years (in thousands). There is no change in our other contractual obligations from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

~~Information concerning recently issued accounting pronouncements may be found in Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.~~

We are exposed to financial market risk, including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange 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 ~~securities~~debt and municipal securities, with maturities less than 90 ~~days or containing seven day guaranteed put features to the issuer.~~days. Deposits of cash held outside the United States totaled approximately ~~$23.6~~$16.5 million and ~~$15.3~~$16.3 million at ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 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. ~~One customer individually accounted for 14.8%~~As of ~~our gross accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016. At~~March 31, 2017 and December 31, ~~2015, none of our~~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 ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ no ~~one~~ customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

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 term~~long-term debt. The interest rate on our Credit Facility fluctuates with either the prime rate or the LIBOR interest rate. At ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had ~~$110.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2015, 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.

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 ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries located~~revenue from customers outside ~~North America,~~the United States, particularly ~~the U.K, Germany~~EMEA and Japan, comprised ~~38.3%~~55.0% and ~~45.0%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries located outside North America comprised 43.0% and 44.6%~~59.5%, respectively, of our total revenue. An effect of a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro ~~and~~ Japanese yen and or Argentine peso, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have decreased our revenues by ~~$2.5~~$2.7 million, decreased expenses by ~~$1.9~~$2.3 million and decreased operating income by ~~$0.6~~$0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro and Japanese yen, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have decreased our revenues by $7.8 million, decreased expenses by $6.1 million and decreased operating income by $1.7 million.March 31, 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 ~~September 30, 2016 there was~~March 31, 2017, we had one ~~currency~~30-day forward contract ~~outstanding,~~to sell 2.7 million British pound sterling and to purchase ~~and sell two different currencies, which was entered into on those dates, and accordingly, the~~$3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair value, ~~was materially equivalent to its book value. There were no outstanding forward contracts~~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.

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 ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 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 ~~September 30, 2016,~~March 31, 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.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during and as of the fiscal quarter ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

~~Except as noted below, there~~There are no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2015.~~

~~We conduct a substantial portion of our business outside North America and, as a result, we face diverse risks related to engaging in international business.~~

We have offices in six foreign countries and we are dedicating a significant portion of our sales efforts in countries outside North America. We are dependent on international sales for a substantial amount of our total revenue. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, approximately 45.5%, 47.6% and 45.3%, respectively, of our total revenue was derived from operations outside the U.S. and we expect that international sales will continue to represent a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. This future international revenue will depend on the continued use and expansion of our type and technologies, including the licensing of our solutions worldwide.

~~We are subject to the risks of conducting business internationally, including:~~2016.

~~If we are unsuccessful in managing these risks, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.~~
