2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016~~2018 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 onForm 10-Q and Article 10 of RegulationS-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.~~presented

We have elected to present the analysis of changes in stockholders’ equity quarterly in statement form for the current and comparative year to date interim periods and state the amount of dividends per share in the aggregate for each class of shares in accordance with the provisions in RegulationS-X, Rule8-03(a)(5) and10-01(a)(7).

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, ~~2016,~~2018, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K. The Company’s significant accounting policies and practices are as described in the Annual Report, except for the adoption of ~~Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-09, as~~the accounting standards described in Note 3 below.

Statement of Operations

We classify cloud-based subscriptions and other services, such as font related services, custom font design and post contract support as service revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. All other revenue is classified as license revenue.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, to conform to current year presentation, we reclassified restructuring charges to disclose the expense amount separately from other operating expenses. Previously the expense amounts were included within the following other operating expense line items:

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

~~Share Based Compensation~~Leases

In ~~March~~February 2016, the ~~Financial~~FASB issued Accounting Standards ~~Board, or~~Update (“ASU”)2016-02,Leases (Topic 842):Amendments to the FASB ~~issued~~ Accounting Standards Codification,(“ASU ~~2016-09,~~~~Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.~~ ~~The~~2016-02”) which replaces the existing guidance ~~identifies areas~~ for ~~simplification involving several aspects~~leases. ASU2016-02 requires the identification of ~~accounting~~arrangements that should be accounted for ~~share based payments, including income tax consequences, classification of awards~~ as ~~either equity, or liabilities, an option to make~~leases by lessees. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a ~~policy election to recognize gross share based compensation expense with actual forfeitures~~twelve-month term, these arrangements must now be recognized as ~~they occur as well as certain classification changes~~assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU

2016-02, aright-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 ~~cash flows.~~adoption of ASU2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. This guidance is effective for annual and interim ~~reporting~~ periods beginning after December 15, ~~2016, with early adoption permitted.~~ 2018.

We adopted ASU ~~2016-09~~2016-02 on January 1, ~~2017~~2019. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification. We also elected the practical expedient that allows an accounting policy election to exclude right of use assets and ~~elected to account~~lease obligations from the balance sheet for ~~forfeitures when they occur, on~~all leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.

As permitted in the standard, the Company is using a modified retrospective ~~basis. As~~approach, where current periods are shown under the new standard, while comparative periods are shown under Accounting Standard Codification No. 840, Leases (prior to the adoption of ASU2016-02), where entities recognize a ~~result of this adoption, $0.6 million of additional stock based compensation expense, net of tax, was recorded~~cumulative effect to retained earnings onat the date of adoption ~~as a cumulative effect adjustment related to our accounting policy change for forfeitures. In accordance with the~~

without restating prior periods’ balances or disclosures.

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. We also elected to prospectively apply the change in presentation of excess tax benefits wherein excess tax benefits recognizedASU2016-02 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The adoption did not have any otherJanuary 1, 2019, had a material impact on our ~~financial statements.~~

~~Pending~~consolidated balance sheet, but did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of income or cash flows. The most significant impact of the adoption of ASU2016-02 was the recognition of additionalright-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. At adoption, the Company recognizedright-of-use assets of approximately $14.4 million and total lease liabilities of $15.9 million.

Derivatives

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-12,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This guidance simplifies the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP and ~~improve~~improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships by allowing entities to better align their risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both designation and measurement for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. Further, the new guidance allows more flexibility in the requirements to qualify and maintain hedge accounting. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods. We adopted ASU2017-12 on January 1, 2019 and there was no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-02,Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from AccumulatedOther Comprehensive Income. This guidance allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”). The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2019 and elected to not reclassify the stranded federal corporate tax rate effects to retained earnings, which amount to approximately $0.6 million.

Pending

Internal Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-15,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other –Internal-Use Software (Topic350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation of Cost Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is Considered a Service Contract,(“ASU2018-15”).This update clarifies the accounting for implementation costs related to a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract previously defined in ASU2015-05. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU ~~2017-12;~~2018-15; however, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Defined Benefit Pension ~~Benefits~~Plan

In ~~March 2017,~~August 2018, the FASB issued ASU ~~No. 2017-07~~ 2018-14,~~Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)-Improving~~Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the ~~Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement~~Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit ~~Cost.~~ Plans,(“ASU2018-14”).This guidance ~~revises~~eliminates requirements for certain disclosures and requires certain additional disclosures concerning the ~~presentation of the net periodic~~company’s defined benefit ~~cost in the income statement.

We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU ~~2017-07;~~2018-14; however, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, (“ASU2018-13”). This guidance is designed to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure. The new standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU2018-13; however, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04,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.~~permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU2017-04; however, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Statement~~4. Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of ~~Cash Flows~~a promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects consideration that we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services, and excludes any sales incentives and taxes collected from customers that are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Nature of Licenses and Services & Timing of Revenue Recognition

Creative Professional Revenue

~~In November 2016,~~Our Creative Professional revenue is primarily derived from rights to use font licenses, custom font design services, our web font and digital ad related services (which includes our web font services and web design tools), and hosted software as a service, or SaaS, offerings. We license fonts directly toend-users through our direct sales organization,e-commerce websites and indirectly through third-party resellers. Our customers include graphic designers, advertising agencies, media organizations and corporations.

Revenue from font licenses is recognized upfront when 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 guidancefont software 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~~delivered or made available to the ~~FASB Accounting Standards Codification,~~customer. Custom font design services are generally not a separate distinct performance obligation and are sold with a license for the custom font, in 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 becase revenue is recognized ~~as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet~~upon completion of the ~~lessee. Under ASU 2016-02,~~services and when the font is delivered and accepted by the customer. In limited cases, the Company has an enforceable right to payment prior to final delivery and acceptance of custom font design work. In these cases, the Company has determined that the proper treatment is a ~~right-of-use asset and lease~~single over-time performance obligation ~~will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while~~using input methods (incurred hours towards completion) to measure progress towards completion to determine 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~~pattern 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~~satisfaction of the ~~modified retrospective method,~~performance obligation.

For our hosted offerings where we provide our customers the right to access our software without taking possession, revenue is recognized over the contract period on a time-elapsed basis, 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.

~~Revenue Recognition~~

~~In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU 2014-09,~~~~Revenue from Contracts~~consistent with ~~Customers (Topic 606),~~ which outlines a comprehensive 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. ASU 2014-09 also provided the guidance in ASC Topic 340,~~Other Assets and Deferred Costs~~—~~Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40)~~, which includes criteria for the capitalization and amortization of certain contract acquisition and fulfillment costs. 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 adjustmentservice to the ~~opening balance~~customer. Payment terms and conditions for Creative Professional contracts generally require payment within thirty to sixty days of ~~retained earnings is recognized at the date~~contract inception. An exception exists for certain contracts for our SaaS offerings or a limited number 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, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018, and at that time, we will apply the modified retrospective method of adoption. We have developed an implementation plan to assess the impact of the new guidance on our operations, financial results and related disclosures. To date, we have substantially completed our initial assessment of the potential areas of the balance sheet and financial statement components impacted, have prepared our preliminary accounting policy memorandum and are beginning to assess the quantitative impact of adoption, including assessing the impact of the new guidance on our results of operations and internal controls. 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 and we will continue to evaluate this assessment quarterly. Under the current guidance, revenue related to ourmulti-year 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~~have periodic payment terms, generally quarterly or annually, over the term of the ~~agreement. However, under~~contract. In instances where the ~~new guidance,~~timing of revenue recognition differs from the respective payment terms, we have considered whether such contracts include a significant financing component, subject to the applicable practical expedient. The purpose of these payment structures is to align with industry and market standards, not to provide customers with financing. We have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component; however, the Company will ~~allocate revenue~~continue to ~~each performance obligation~~assess (1) the length of time between when the goods or services are delivered and expected payment and (2) prevailing interest rates in the ~~agreement~~market tore-evaluate this conclusion.

OEM Revenue

Our OEM revenue is derived substantially from printer imaging, printer driver and ~~each will require separate accounting treatment~~display imaging products and ~~lead~~primarily relates 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 relative standalone selling prices of each performance obligation. In addition, we have on occasion, offered extended payment terms for term licenses toproviding our customers ~~including cases~~the right to embed our fonts and technology in ~~which~~their products over a certain term. Under our OEM licensing arrangements, we either receive a fixed fee as specified under the license arrangement or a royalty for each product unit incorporating our fonts and technology that 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~~shipped by our OEM customers. Although significantly less than royalties fromper-unit shipments and fixed or 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,fees from OEM customers, we ~~will be required to estimate royalty~~also receive revenue from software application and operating systems vendors, who include our ~~royalty-based licenses~~fonts and technology in their products and for font development. Revenue fromper-unit royalty contracts is estimated and recognized in the period that the royalty-bearing event ~~occurs,~~or sale by our OEM customer occurs. Revenue from fixed fee licenses is generally recognized upfront at the point in time when the software embodying the font is shipped or made available to the customer. Certain OEM contracts may include customer support services and unspecified updates for our font technology which is ~~different~~a distinct stand-ready performance obligation and recognized ratably over the service period. Many of ourper-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.

Significant Judgments
Our contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Once we determine the performance obligations, the Company determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. We then allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on a relative stand-alone selling price method. The corresponding revenue is recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied as discussed in the revenue categories above.
Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. We determine standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
With the exception of OEM royalty ~~revenue when it is~~licenses, our contracts do not generally include a variable component to the transaction price. If royalties are not yet reported to us for the period in which the subsequent sale is expected to occur, we are required to estimate such royalties. When a new contract is signed for the licensing of IP on aper-unit basis, we deliver the licenses and based on ongoing discussions with the customer, will estimate when the distribution will begin and estimate royalties based on distribution forecasts provided by the ~~licensee, at which time~~customer. For ongoing arrangements, we have developed a process to estimateper-unit royalties based on historical data, trends, seasonality, knowledge of changes in contracts/rates, and quarterly discussions with sales personnel to identify significant changes in the ~~fee is deemed fixed~~customer’s distribution forecast (via seasonality, introduction of new products, discontinuation or determinable. The Company has, and plans to continue to, convert printer imaging electronic OEM customers to fixed fee contracts from royalty bearing contracts. At September 30, 2017, approximately 80% of estimated printer revenue has been converted to fixed fee license contracts. The new guidance also requires certain costsproducts, etc.). Revenue related to ~~contract acquisition, such as sales commissions,~~the estimation ofper-unit royalties was $5.7 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
As discussed above, certain of our Creative Professional contracts have payment terms that differ from the timing of revenue recognition which requires us to ~~be capitalized and amortized over~~assess whether the ~~expected period of benefit.~~transaction price for those contracts include a significant financing component. We currently recognize such expenses based on when they are earned. We are currently in the process of evaluating our commission plans and other factors that that will impact the period over which such expenses are recognized under the new guidance. We currently plan to electhave elected the practical expedient which permits an entity to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect that at the contract inception, the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. ~~We also plan to elect~~For those contracts in which the ~~practical expedient which permits an entity to only apply~~period exceeds the transition guidance to contracts that are not completed at the date of the initial application of ASU 2014-09. We currently plan to elect the practical expedient which permits us to expense costs as they are incurred if the amortization period is determined to be one year ~~or less.~~
We expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements, including the expected transition adjustment to adopt ASC606; however, we are still in the process of evaluating the quantitative impact that the standard will have on our financial statements and related disclosures, which may be material.
Based on the progress of our evaluation to date, while we are still in the process of quantifying the transition adjustment that will be recorded on January 1, 2018, which will depend in part on the additional contracts that are executed during the fourth quarter of 2017, we anticipate that the transition adjustment to retained earnings will include approximately $5 million to $9 million of revenue from contracts entered into on or before December 31, 2017, that otherwise would have been included in 2018 revenue had ASC 606 not been adopted effective January 1, 2018. This estimate is based on contracts that have been entered into as of September 30, 2017,threshold, this assessment, as well as anthe quantitative estimate ~~based on~~of the financing component and its relative significance, requires judgment. We estimate the significant financing component provided to our ~~current sales forecasts,~~customers with extended payment terms by determining the present value of the future payments by applying a discount rate that reflects the customer’s creditworthiness.
Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations
The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations consists principally of amounts billed for undelivered services that are included in deferred revenue, as well as unbilled backlog, which is the amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations, for enforceable contracts when there is not a present

unconditional right to invoice (a receivable). Substantially all the long-term amount is expected to be recognized as revenue within the following 24 month period. The aggregate amount of transaction price that ~~will be entered into between October 1, 2017~~is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied or are partially satisfied as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017. As we have not yet completed our analysis of the quantitative impact of ASC 606 on contracts with our customers, and since this estimate includes assumptions about future events that may or may not take place, actual results could differ materially from this estimate. Furthermore, as the estimate excludes several other key aspects of ASC 606, such as the changes in accounting for costs to acquire contracts, it is not intended to provide an estimate of the full transition adjustment that we will ultimately record. Finally, since the estimate excludes the potential impact of contracts entered into subsequent to January 1, 2018 ~~it is not intended to provide a complete estimate of the impact of ASC606 on 2018 revenue.~~

~~4. Acquisition~~

~~Olapic, Inc.~~

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 contentare 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 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 joined the Company in connection with the acquisition:~~

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 therevenue 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 and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information available.
~~We recorded revenue of $5.2 million and $13.5 million, and a net loss of $7.8 million and $24.4 million,~~may differ from the ~~acquired Olapic operations within the Company’s consolidated operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Transaction costs~~timing of ~~$0.7 million and $1.1 million are included in general and administrative expenses in~~invoicing to customers. We record an unbilled receivable, or contract asset, when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing when we have an enforceable right to payment. When invoicing occurs prior to revenue recognition, we have unearned revenue, or contract liabilities, presented on our condensed consolidated ~~statements of operations for~~balance sheet as “deferred revenue” within deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities, as appropriate at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. When invoicing occurs after revenue recognition, we have earned revenue, or contract assets, presented on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as “unbilled receivables” within accounts receivable and other assets, as appropriate at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Revenue recognized during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2016, respectively.~~
~~Pro Forma Results~~
~~The following table shows unaudited pro forma results of operations as if we had acquired Olapic~~March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the periods ~~presented~~were approximately $5.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three month ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods, mainly due to changes in the estimate of royalty revenues, is approximately $5.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the change in contract assets reclassified to receivables as a result of the right to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional was not material. The contract modifications entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s contract assets or deferred revenue.
Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain commissions paid under our sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. The amount capitalized for incremental costs to obtain contracts as of March 31, 2019 was $3.8 million, of which $0.7 million was short-term and has been included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $3.1 million was long term and has been included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount capitalized for incremental costs to obtain contracts as of December 31, 2018 was $3.6 million, of which $0.7 million was short-term and has been included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.9 million was long term and has been included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized as sales and marketing expense over the expected period of benefit in a manner that is consistent with the transfer of the related goods or services to which the asset relates. The judgments made in determining the amount of costs incurred include whether the commissions are in fact incremental and would not have occurred absent the customer contract and the estimate of the amortization period, which ranges between three and ten years depending on the nature of the performance obligations within the contract. These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment; however, no impairment existed as of March 31, 2019 or as of December 31, 2018. The amount of capitalized costs related to contracts which were terminated on or before March 31, 2019, due to the customer exercising anopt-out clause or the cancellation of an anticipated renewal was not material and was charged to operating expenses in the first quarter of 2019.
We have elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.
We capitalize incremental costs incurred to fulfill our contracts that (i) relate directly to the contract, (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract, and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. Contract fulfillment costs primarily relate to font license fees that we pay on certain fonts that are owned by third parties. These fees are related to license revenue that is satisfied at a point in time and payable again upon license renewal, and as a result are incurred immediately upon contract execution. Accordingly, there are no capitalized costs related to costs to fulfill a contract as of March 31, 2019 or as of December 31, 2018.

5. Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of contractual agreements are classified on our balance sheet based on relevant restrictions. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $6.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively, of cash held in escrow to be used for payments due in 2019 in connection with the Olapic, Inc. acquisition.

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 as contingent consideration. The fair value of our cash equivalents isare 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 ournon-performance risk and that of our counterparties. At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we had one30-day forward contract to sell 2.6 million British pounds sterling and purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair ~~value; and at~~value. At December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, we had one30-day forward contract to sell ~~2.8~~2.7 million British pounds sterling and purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair value.

The Company’snon-financial assets andnon-financial liabilities subject tonon-recurring measurements include goodwill and intangible assets.

7.8. Leases

We have operating leases for corporate offices and certain equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 6 years, some of which contain options to extend the leases for up to 5 years and some which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. We have lease agreements with lease andnon-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in the operating leaseright-of-use (“ROU”) assets and the short-term and long-term lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement for the Company’s NY office, the Company obtained a standbyletter-of-credit in the amount of approximately $0.5 million as security on the lease obligation. Theletter-of credit is a reduction of the available borrowings under the Credit facility.

9. Debt
On ~~September 15, 2015,~~March 22, 2019, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “~~New~~“New Credit ~~Agreement~~”Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Company’s subsidiary, Monotype Imaging Inc., (“the Borrower”), any financial institution that becomes a Lender ~~(as defined therein)~~ and ~~Silicon Valley~~ Bank of America, N.A., as ~~agent which provides for~~administrative agent. Pursuant to the New Credit Agreement the Lenders have agreed to provide the Borrower with a five-year ~~$150.0~~$200.0 million senior 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~~$300.0 million. The Credit Facility ~~is available~~provides more flexibility in addition to an increased borrowing capacity and extended terms, as defined above. The New Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $150.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Original Credit Agreement”) by and between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank. The Original Credit Agreement was terminated effective March 22, 2019 and was scheduled to expire on ~~a revolving basis through~~ September 15, 2020.
~~Repayment of any amounts borrowed are not required until maturity of~~ The Company had $75.0 million outstanding under the Original Credit ~~Facility. However, the Company may repay any amounts borrowed~~Agreement at ~~any time, without premium or penalty. At September 30, 2017 and~~ December 31, ~~2016,~~2018. Available borrowings under the Original Credit Agreement were reduced by approximately $0.5 million for one standby letter of credit issued in connection with a facility lease agreement, leaving $74.5 million available for borrowings at December 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019, the Company had ~~$96.0 million and $105.0~~$70.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility. ~~At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, available~~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 ~~$53.5 million and $44.5~~$129.5 million available for ~~borrowing~~borrowings at ~~September 30, 2017 and December~~March 31, ~~2016, respectively.~~2019.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest through March 21, 2024 at a variable rate ~~not less than zero based upon,~~per annum equal to LIBOR plus between 1.0% and 1.625%, or at the ~~Company’s~~Borrower’s option, ~~either LIBOR or~~ the higher of (i) the prime rate as ~~published in the Wall Street Journal,~~announced by Bank of America and (ii) 0.5% plus the overnight federal funds rate, plus in each case, ~~an applicable margin. The applicable~~between 0.0% and 0.625%, with the exact interest rate margin ~~for LIBOR loans,~~determined based on the ~~applicable~~consolidated leverage ~~ratio,~~ratio. The Company is ~~1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75% per annum, and the applicable margin for base rate loans,~~required to pay a commitment fee, based on the ~~applicable~~consolidated leverage ratio, ~~is either~~equal to 0.175%, 0.20%, 0.225% or 0.25%~~, 0.50% or 0.75%~~ per ~~annum. At September 30, 2017, our rate, inclusive~~annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of ~~applicable margins, was 2.8%~~outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred closing and legal fees of approximately $0.9 million, which have been accounted for ~~LIBOR,~~as deferred financing costs, that, together with approximately $0.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with loan syndicate lenders who participated in the new facility, will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Agreement. In addition, $34 thousand of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with thepro-rata share of prior loan syndicate lenders that did not participate in the new facility were written off and ~~at December 31, 2016, our rate, inclusive~~charged to other expense in the first quarter of ~~applicable margins, was 2.5% for LIBOR.~~2019.

~~As of September 30, 2017,~~The New Credit Agreement includes financial covenants which require the ~~maximum~~Company to maintain (i) a consolidated leverage ratio ~~permitted was 3.00:1.00~~of no greater than 3.25 to 1.0 or, upon a qualified acquisition subject to certain conditions, 3.75 to 1.0 and (ii) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.0. At March 31, 2019, our consolidated leverage ratio was ~~2.47:1.00~~0.72 to 1.0 and ~~the minimum fixed charge~~our consolidated interest coverage ratio was ~~1.25:1.00~~18.61 to 1.0. The New Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and ~~our fixed charge ratio was 6.57:1.00.~~negative covenants for transactions of this type and other affirmative and negative covenants agreed to by the parties, including, among others, limits on the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt or liens, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans, investments and acquisitions, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, enter into asset sales, transact with affiliates and alter its business. Adjusted EBITDA, under the Credit Facility, is defined as consolidated net earnings (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, minus capitalized research and development expense, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cashnon-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cashnon-operating gains and othernon-cash gains; provided, however that the aggregate of all cashnon-operating expense shall not exceed 10% of Consolidated EBITDA. The New Credit Agreement also provides for a number of customary events of default, including, among others, payment, bankruptcy, covenant, representation and warranty, change of control and judgment defaults. 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 obligations of the Borrower under the Credit ~~Facility is~~Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries and secured by a lien on substantially all of the ~~Company’s~~present and ~~its domestic subsidiaries’ tangible~~future property and ~~intangible property by a pledge of all~~assets of the ~~equity interests of the Company’s direct~~Company and ~~indirect domestic~~such subsidiaries, ~~and by a pledge by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries of 65% of the equity of their direct foreign subsidiaries,~~in each case, subject to limited ~~exceptions. In addition to other covenants, the New Credit Agreement places limits on the Company~~exceptions 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 September 30, 2017.exclusions.

~~8. Defined Benefit Pension Plan~~

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

~~10.~~11. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, the net income (loss) available to common shareholders iswas divided by the ~~weighted average~~weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period to calculate diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, thetwo-class method was used in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, as the result was more dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, earnings was not allocated to participating securities in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as there was a net loss. The assumed exercise of stock options and assumed vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units were included in the computation of net income per share for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, but were excluded in the computation of net (loss) per share for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the two-class method was used in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, as the result was more dilutive.

On ~~August 30, 2016,~~May 3, 2018, 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.~~June 7, 2019. During the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, the Company ~~repurchased~~purchased a total of ~~232,989~~370,500 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of ~~$4.2~~$6.6 million, including brokers’ fees. To date, 1,261,400 shares have been purchased under the plan for an aggregate purchase price of $23.9 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 Company’s Board of Directors’ discretion.

~~13.~~14. Restructuring

In December 2017, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to accelerate the integration of the Olapic business into the core of Monotype in an effort to improve operational efficiencies and to align its investment in the Olapic business to better support it over time. The plan provided for the elimination of 89 positions worldwide. As part of this plan, the Company recorded charges of approximately $3.0 million for severance and termination benefits and $0.2 million of facilities and associated costs. This restructuring was completed in the third quarter of 2018.

On June 6, 2018, the Company implemented a restructuring plan, under which the Company reduced headcount in certain areas of the Company, made the decision to cease sales and marketing of the Swyft product and service line and to close a regional office, all in an effort to improve operational efficiencies. The plan provided for the elimination of approximately 50 positions worldwide across a variety of functions, with a concentration within engineering, as well as sales and marketing. The Company recorded net charges totaling $6.8 million related to severance and termination benefits, net of stock based compensation reversal, the write off of goodwill and intangible assets attributable to Swyft, the acceleration of the final deferred compensation payment to the founders of Swyft, and charges associated with the office closure. We reversed $1.4 million of stock based compensation expense as a result of forfeitures of awards by employees included in the restructuring plan. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the severance and termination accrual was reduced based the completion of certain final termination agreements. This restructuring plan was completed by December 31, 2018, other than the payment of deferred termination benefits to certain terminated employees. The Company continued to refine its cost structure, and in December 2018, implemented a restructuring plan in an effort to improve operational efficiencies. The plan provided for the elimination of 15 positions worldwide, including the positions held by two of the Olapic founders. To date, the Company recorded charges of approximately $1.0 million for severance and termination benefits associated with this plan and $0.9 million of accelerated expense associated with the final deferred compensation payment in connection with the departure of those founders. In addition, $0.9 million was recorded for additional stock based compensation expense associated with the acceleration of the vesting of those departing founders’ equity grants in accordance with the separation agreements. We expect this restructuring plan to be completed by the second quarter of 2019, other than the payment of deferred termination benefits to certain terminated employees.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From ~~time to time,~~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 ~~specified period, typically one year.~~one-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 acase-by-case basis, increasing the maximum potential liability to ~~agreed upon~~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 ~~September 30, 2017 and~~March 31, 2019 or December 31, ~~2016.~~2018.

Sources of Revenue

We derive revenue from two principal sources: licensing our ~~fonts~~design assets and technology to brands and 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. Our Creative Professional and OEM revenues are both comprised of license and service revenues. We classify cloud-based subscriptions and other services, such as font related services, custom font design and post contract support as service revenue. All other revenue is classified as license revenue. We operate our business based on our two principal markets, Creative Professional and OEM, which is the basis for the following discussion of operating results.

Some of our revenue streams, particularly project-related and custom font design service 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.

~~Effective as of January 1, 2017, our presentation of geographic~~Geographic revenue, ~~has been changed to better align with our business operates. As a result, we now report revenue~~which is 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 for the United Statesis in the table 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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):below:

For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, revenue from customers outside the United States comprised ~~53.8%~~54.8% and ~~51.9%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, revenue from customers outside the United States comprised 56.3% and 57.5%~~56.2%, 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 products 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 ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, our top ten licensees by revenue, most of which are OEM customers, accounted for approximately ~~27.5%~~24.6% and ~~33.5%~~23.0% of our total revenue, respectively. ~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, our top ten licensees by revenue accounted for approximately 28.4% and 30.9% of our total revenue, respectively. Although no~~No one customer accounted for more than ~~10%~~10.0% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 or nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 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 direct sales organization, e-commerce websites and indirectly through third-party resellers. Web font and digital ad related services refer to our web font services and web design tools. Our customers include graphic designers, advertising agencies, media organizations and corporations. 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. In addition, Creative Professional revenue includes revenue derived from our software as a service, or SaaS, offerings.

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, or accounted for on a percentage-of-completion basis where appropriate. 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 model. Company hosted subscription-based arrangements and our software as a service products are accounted for as subscription revenue, 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 printer imaging, printer driver and display imaging products. Under our licensing arrangements, we either receive a royalty for each product unit incorporating our fonts and technology that is shipped by our OEM customers or a fixed fee as specified under license arrangements 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 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.2018.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists of font license fees that we pay on certain fonts that are owned by third parties, personnel and allocated internal engineering expense and overhead costs ~~directly~~ related to custom font design services and SaaS based offerings and cloud-based web ~~services costs related to our SaaS-based offerings.~~service costs. 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 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 7 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. In addition, within our Creative Professional business, the cost of ~~our~~ custom font design and SaaS based 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 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 fromperiod-to-period, depending on the product mix and the level of custom font design and SaaS based 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.

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 Form10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~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.~~2018.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended ~~September 30, 2016~~March 31, 2018

Revenue and cost of revenue, bifurcated into license and service, is as follows:

   Three Months Ended
March 31,
   2019    2018    (Decrease)
License revenue
   $ 41,872    $ 45,867    $ (3,995 )
Service revenue
   9,484    10,816    (1,332 )
Cost of revenue—license
   6,802    9,612    (2,810 )
Cost of revenue—service
   2,801    2,824    (23 )
License revenue decreased primarily due to the decline in printer revenue from our printer imaging electronic customers and a decline in revenue from our web channels in the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. Service revenue decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, mainly due to increased customer churn in the last half of 2018.
Gross profit from license revenue, before amortization of acquired technology, increased to 83.9% from 79.0% mainly due to theone-time additionalnon-recurring royalty expense in the three months ended March 31, 2018, for which there was no corresponding revenue in the period, in accordance with ASC 606. There was no similar charge in the same period in 2019. Gross profit from service revenue, before amortization of acquired technology, decreased from 73.9% to 70.5%, mainly due to a decline in our service revenue as some of our cost of revenue does not fluctuate with changes in revenue. See further discussion below for additional information regarding our period over period revenue and cost of revenue.
While revenue from services has grown to a level of significance requiring separate disclosure, we continue to operate our business based on our two principal markets, Creative Professional and OEM, which is the basis for the following discussion of operating results.

The following table sets forth items in the unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly statements of ~~operations~~income as a percentage of sales for the periods indicated:

The following discussion compares the three months ended March 31, 2019 with the three months ended March 31, 2018.

~~Revenues~~Revenue by ~~Market.~~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.

OEM revenue decreased $3.1 million, or 14.3%, to $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to ~~$27.8~~$21.7 million in the ~~three months ended September 30, 2016,~~first quarter of 2018, mainly due to ~~continued growth~~a decline in ~~sales of recurring licenses and~~printer revenue. The decrease in printer revenue, ~~from Olapic.~~

~~OEM~~period over period, is largely due to a decline in revenue ~~was $26.0 million and $24.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $1.6 million, or 6.4%. Revenue~~ from our printer imaging electronic OEM customers increased period over period, due to $2.0 million of one-time benefits as we continue to convert customers to fixed fee contracts from royalty bearing contracts, and increased revenue from our display imaging consumer electronic OEM customers, partially offset by decreased revenue from our independent software vendor customers.

In the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2017,~~2018, there was $2.2 million ofnon-recurring royalty expense in connection with the adoption of ASC 606. As a percentage of sales, cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, ~~included lower associated costs with our OEM business, as~~was 18.7% and 22.0% of total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, a ~~result~~decline of the one-time benefit of converting customers to fixed fee contracts. This was partially offset by a full quarter of costs from our Olapic business, as compared to the same period in 2016. We acquired Olapic on August 9, 2016.3.3%.

The portion of cost of revenue consisting of amortization of acquired technology ~~decreased $0.4 million, or 33.3%, to~~was unchanged at $0.9 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017, as compared~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Restructuring.Restructuring expense decreased $0.2 million, or 112.4%, due to a ~~redeployment~~credit of ~~Olapic employees to either sales or development related activities~~$24 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $0.2 million in the ~~administrative organization in connection with our Olapic integration strategy. This was partially offset by increased software expense, of $0.5 million generally~~three months ended March 31, 2018 due to ~~increased headcount, period over~~severance expense and charges associated with the closure of one of our regional offices in the prior period.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was $0.8 million and $1.0 million ~~and $0.9 million in~~for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, respectively, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million, or ~~8.4%.~~18.8%, mainly due to the write off intangible assets associated with the Swyft business in the second quarter of 2018.

Interest expense, net of interest income was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and ~~$0.4~~2018, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million, or 5.9%, mainly due to borrowings under our revolving lines of credit.

Loss (Gain) on Foreign Exchange

Loss (gain) on foreign exchange was a loss of $66 thousand and gain of $34 thousand in the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016, respectively, an increase~~2018, respectively.

~~Loss on Foreign Exchange~~

~~Losses on foreign exchange were $1.4 million and $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $1.0 million,~~periods was primarily the result of currency fluctuations on our foreign denominated receivables and payables. In the three months ended September 30, 2017, the loss was primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, as compared to the U.S. dollar, on U.S. dollar denominated receivables held by our foreign subsidiaries.

Loss ~~(gain)~~ on derivatives was ~~a loss of~~ $0.1 million and ~~a gain of~~ $0.1 million in the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, respectively, ~~a decrease~~the net result of ~~$0.2 million, due to~~changes in the market value of our30-day forward currency derivative contracts.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

~~During~~For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, our effective tax rate was ~~68.5%~~a benefit of 5.5% and ~~52.7%~~a provision of 67.3%, respectively. ~~The increase in our~~Our effective ~~rate~~tax benefit of 5.5% for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017 included 40.7% for non-deductible expenses, as compared to 17.6%~~March 31, 2019 is significantly lower than our effective tax rate for the same period in ~~2016. The increase is~~2018, primarily due to ~~non-deductible deferred compensation associated with~~ the ~~Olapic acquisition.~~ increase in forecasted full yearpre-tax income for 2019 as compared to 2018, and the reversal of reserves for unrecognized tax benefits. Following is a more detailed discussion of the decrease in the effective rate:

The impact of foreign earnings increased our effective tax rate by 3.6% in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to 33.8% in the same period in 2018, due to our ability to better utilize foreign tax credits and to limit the amount of income subject to the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions. In the prior period, these provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”) resulted in a significantly higher effective tax rate on foreign earnings due to limitations on the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits in the first quarter of 2018.

In the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a benefit of 29.1% for the reversal of reserve for unrecognized tax benefits, as compared to a benefit of 0.6% in the prior period, due to the completion of an audit of our 2016 federal tax return.

The Company has reflected a reduction in its valuation allowance for foreign tax credits, resulting in a benefit of 10.2%, related to the amount of foreign tax credit carryforwards that the Company is estimating that it will be able to utilize based on 2019 taxable income.

Non-deductible expenses added 2.4% to the effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017 included an expense of 6.4% 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 third quarter of 2017 included a benefit of 9.5% for research credits,March 31, 2019, as compared to 2.8% in the same period in 2016. State and local income taxes, net of federal tax benefit, provided a benefit of 4.3% in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to a charge of 10.9% in the same period in 2016, mainly due to adjustments to our deferred state tax balances, which resulted from changes in our estimated state tax rate.

~~Revenue~~
~~Revenue was $170.8 million and $150.8 million for the nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $20.0 million, or 13.2%.~~
Creative Professional revenue increased $17.1 million, or 22.7%, to $92.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $75.2 million in the same period in 2016, mainly due to revenue from Olapic and continued growth in sales of recurring licenses and digital ad revenue.
OEM revenue was $78.5 million and $75.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $2.9 million, or 3.8%. Revenue from our printer imaging electronic OEM customers increased period over period, due to $6.1 million of one-time benefits as we continue to convert customers to fixed fee contracts from royalty bearing contracts, and increased revenue from our display imaging consumer electronic OEM customers, partially offset by decreased revenue from our independent software vendor customers.
~~Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit~~
Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was $28.6 million and $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $4.2 million, or 17.0%. The increase in cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, is partially due to both product mix and an increase in revenue, period over period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cost of revenue included a full nine months of costs from our Olapic business which we acquired on August 9, 2016 and a larger proportion of our Creative Professional revenue, as compared to the same period in 2016. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was 16.8% and 16.2% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Amortization of acquired technology was $2.6 million and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 26.3%, primarily due to an asset that became fully amortized in October 2016.
Gross profit was 81.7% and 81.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of 0.3 percentage points, mainly due to variations in product mix, net of decreased amortization of acquired technology. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, our gross profit included 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. Our Creative Professional revenue has grown organically and from the acquisition of Olapic. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Creative Professional revenue increased as a percentage of total revenue to 54.0% of total revenue, as compared to 49.8% of total revenue in the same period in 2016.

Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $5.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, mainly due to increased headcount in connection with our acquisition of Olapic, net of a reduction for capitalized personnel costs for development projects and an increase in personnel costs classified as cost of sales for custom font development in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016. Increased infrastructure expenses contributed $0.7 million to the increase in research and development, period over period, a result of increased headcount and the addition of Olapic.

~~Loss on Foreign Exchange~~
Losses on foreign exchange were $4.5 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $3.7 million, primarily the result of currency fluctuations on our foreign denominated receivables and payables. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the loss was mainly attributed to the strengthening of the Euro, as compared to the U.S. dollar, on U.S. dollar denominated receivables held by our foreign subsidiaries.

The increase in our effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included 55.9% for non-deductible expenses, as compared to 5.5% for the same period in 2016. The increase is due to non-deductible 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, asMarch 31, 2018, a result of the ~~decrease~~acceleration of the final payment of deferred compensation to the founders of Swyft in ~~overall pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for~~June 2018 and to two of the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017 included an expense~~founders of ~~61.5% related to a net shortfall on stock compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows for the ~~Nine~~Three Months Ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016~~2018.

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 issuance of these financial statements. At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling ~~$79.5~~$46.4 million and a ~~$150.0~~$200.0 million revolving credit facility, of which there was ~~$96.0~~$70.0 million of outstanding borrowings. On ~~August 30, 2016,~~May 3, 2018, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $25.0 million of our outstanding common stock, which permits purchases through ~~December 31, 2017. In~~June 7, 2019. For the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we used ~~$6.4 million in cash to purchase shares under the plan and in the year ended December 31, 2016, we used $5.6~~$6.6 million in cash to purchase shares under the plan. ~~At September 30, 2017,~~As of March 31, 2019 the plan has ~~$12.9~~$1.1 million available for future purchases. ~~Olapic has, and will continue to operate at a net loss in 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.

The Company ~~had~~is required to pay a commitment fee, based on the consolidated leverage ratio, equal to 0.175%, 0.20%, 0.225% or 0.25% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding ~~borrowings~~letters of credit. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred closing and legal fees of approximately $0.9 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, $34.0 thousand of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with thepro-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 first quarter of 2019.

The New Credit Agreement includes financial covenants which require the Company to maintain (i) a consolidated leverage ratio of no greater than 3.25 to 1.0 or, upon a qualified acquisition subject to certain conditions, 3.75 to 1.0 and (ii) a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.0. At March 31, 2019, our consolidated leverage ratio was 0.72 to 1.0 and our consolidated interest coverage ratio was 18.61 to 1.0. The New Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for transactions of this type and other affirmative and negative covenants agreed to by the parties, including, among others, limits on the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt or liens, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans, investments and acquisitions, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, enter into asset sales, transact with affiliates and alter its business. Adjusted EBITDA, under the Credit Facility, is defined as consolidated net earnings (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, minus capitalized research and development expense, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cashnon-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cashnon-operating gains and othernon-cash gains; provided, however that the aggregate of ~~$96.0 million at September 30, 2017,~~all cashnon-operating expense shall not exceed 10% of Consolidated EBITDA. The New Credit Agreement also provides for a number of customary events of default, including, among others, payment, bankruptcy, covenant, representation and ~~$105.0 million at December 31, 2016. The Credit Facility has $0.5 million reserved for one stand-by letter~~warranty, change of ~~credit in connection with a facility lease agreement, leaving $53.5 million~~control and ~~$44.5 million available for borrowing at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.~~

As of September 30, 2017, the maximum leverage ratio permitted was 3.00:1.00 and our leverage ratio was 2.47:1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.25:1.00 and our fixed charge ratio was 6.57:1.00.judgment defaults. 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 obligations of the Borrower under the Credit ~~Facility is~~Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries and secured by a lien on substantially all of the ~~Company’s~~present and ~~its domestic subsidiaries’ tangible~~future property and ~~intangible property by a pledge of all~~assets of the ~~equity interests of the Company’s direct~~Company and ~~indirect domestic~~such subsidiaries, ~~and by a pledge by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries of 65% of the equity of their direct foreign subsidiaries,~~in each case, subject to limited ~~exceptions.

~~(1)~~ Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP profitability measures such as income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure has material limitations since it excludes the statement of operations impact of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, the provision (benefit) for income taxes and share based compensation and therefore does not represent an accurate measure of profitability, particularly in situations where a company is highly leveraged or has a disadvantageous tax structure. We have significant intangible assets and amortization expense is a meaningful element in our financial statements and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We have a significant amount of debt and we have had a significant amount of debt in the past, 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. Share based compensation and the associated expense has a meaningful impact on our financial statements. Non-cash expenses, restructuring, issuance and cash non-operating expenses have a meaningful impact on our financial statements. Therefore, their exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in conjunction with net income for complete analysis of our profitability, as net income includes the financial statement impact of these items and is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure to Adjusted EBITDA. As Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of the limitations that Adjusted EBITDA has as an analytical tool, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
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, 2017.~~March 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP Measures

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. Thisnon-GAAP measure is net adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as ~~net~~income (loss) ~~income~~from operations before ~~interest expense, net, other (income) expense, net, provision for income taxes,~~ depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, ~~and share~~stock based compensation expense, acquisition-related compensation andone-timenon-recurring 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 fromperiod-to-period without direct correlation to underlying operating performance. We believe that thesenon-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making. We believe that trends in our net adjusted EBITDA may be valuable indicators of our operating performance.

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we discuss another key measure that is not calculated according to GAAP. Thisnon-GAAP measure isnon-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which is defined as earnings per diluted share before amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock based compensation expenses, acquisition-related compensation andone-timenon-recurring expenses. We usenon-GAAP earnings per diluted share as one of our principal indicators of the operating performance of our business. We usenon-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 thatnon-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 fromperiod-to-period without direct correlation to underlying operating performance.

Item 3.
~~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 ~~securities~~debt and municipal securities, with maturities less than 90 ~~days at the date of purchase.~~days. Deposits of cash held outside the United States totaled approximately ~~$18.5~~$17.6 million and ~~$16.4~~$21.1 million at ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, 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 ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2016, none of our customers~~2018, one customer individually accounted for ~~10% or more~~12.8% and 10.8% of our gross accounts ~~receivable.~~receivable, respectively. 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, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt. At ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, the Company had borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility of ~~$96.0~~$70.0 million and ~~$105.0~~$75.0 million, respectively. The interest rate on our Credit Facility fluctuates with either the prime rate or the LIBOR interest rate and at ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019, our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was ~~2.8%~~3.6% for LIBOR. AFor the three months ended March 31, 2019, a 10% increase in the rate would have increased our annual interest expense by ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million.
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.~~date or historical rates, as appropriate. 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.~~ comprehensive income.
As discussed in Note 1, our wholly-owned Olapic Argentina S.A. subsidiary employs 99 people whose functions mainly include development, sales support and administration. The Argentinian economy was recently determined to be highly inflationary. Argentina’s inflation rate reached this threshold with the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018. In accordance with this designation,

we were required to apply the guidance in ASC Topic 830,Foreign Currency Matters, (Subtopic ASC 830-10-45-10), and account for a change in functional currency from the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar effective July 1, 2018. While we conduct our operation in Argentine pesos, effective July 1, 2018, the functional currency was changed to the U.S. dollar. The operation is a service center supporting the company’s products and generates no revenue. Thus, the expenses primarily consist of compensation and related costs, totaling approximately $0.4 million to $0.5 million per month. The change in functional currency to U.S. dollars did not have a material impact on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

For the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2016,~~2018, revenue from customers outside the United States, ~~primarily~~particularly EMEA and Japan, comprised ~~53.8%~~54.8% and ~~51.9%,~~56.2 %, respectively, of our total revenue. ~~The~~An effect of a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro and Japanese yen, ~~and Argentine peso,~~ relative to the U.S. dollar, would have decreased our revenues by ~~$2.3~~$1.7 million, decreased expenses by ~~$2.7~~$1.7 million and increased operating income by ~~$0.5~~$0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, revenue from customers outside the United States, primarily EMEA and Japan, comprised 56.3% and 57.5%, respectively, of our total revenue. The effect of a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro, Japanese yen and Argentine peso, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have decreased our revenues by $6.7 million, decreased expenses by $7.8 million and increased operating income by $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. The sensitivity analysis assumes that all currencies move in the same direction at the same time and the ratio ofnon-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 utilizing30-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, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, we had one30-day forward contract to sell 2.6 million British ~~pounds~~pound sterling and to purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair ~~value, and at~~value. At December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, we had one30-day forward contract to sell ~~2.8~~2.7 million British ~~pounds~~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 ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-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, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, 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

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during and as of the fiscal quarter ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standard related to revenue recognition to facilitate its adoption on January 1, 2018. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of the new standards.

Part II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

~~Item 1.~~ 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.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

~~Item 1A. Risk Factors~~

~~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 onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2018.

~~Our business could be negatively affected as a result of the actions of activist stockholders.~~

Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing in publicly traded companies recently. On October 6, 2017, we were notified that various funds affiliated with Starboard Value, BLR Partners LP and FMLP Inc. (collectively, the “Starboard Group”), have obtained a significant stake in our Company for the purposes of (i) engaging in discussions with the Company regarding operating results, cost and capital allocation, opportunities to enhance stockholder value and corporate governance, (ii) taking all action necessary to achieve the foregoing and (iii) taking any other actions the Starboard Group determines to undertake in connection with their respective investment in the Company, including, but not limited to, a potential solicitation of proxies in furtherance of seeking representation on the Board of Directors of the Company. Considering and responding to any proposals from the Starboard Group or any other activist stockholders, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s and our board of directors’ attention and resources from our business. We expect to incur significant legal and advisory fees in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the activist stockholder matters. Additionally, such stockholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect our relationships with customers and service providers, make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, and cause our stock price to experience periods of volatility.
