In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, management considers necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, operating results, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Our results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Correction of Prior Period Financial Information

During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we identified certain errors at our Italian manufacturing subsidiary attributable to the valuation and classification of certain finished goods inventory. The errors related to finished goods that should have been impaired and expensed in 2015, inventory utilized in research and development projects that expired and should have been expensed in 2016, and certain assets included in inventory that should have been capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The preceding resulted in an understatement of cost of revenue in 2015 and operating expenses in 2016 due to failure to properly impair and expense certain items and properly classify certain amounts included in inventories on the balance sheet and appropriately depreciate those amounts.

As a result, we have corrected the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 as follows:

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report onForm 10-K, as amended in Amendment No. 2, for the year ended December 31, 2016, with the exception of the following:

Bill and Hold Transactions. We hold certain products manufactured by us on a“bill-and-hold” basis for our customers’ convenience. Revenue is recognized for these“bill-and-hold” arrangements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, which requires consideration of, among other things, whether the customer has made a fixed commitment to purchase the product; the existence of a substantial business purpose for the arrangement; the“bill-and-hold” arrangement is at the request of the customer; the scheduled delivery date must be reasonable and consistent with the buyer’s business purpose; title and risk of ownership must pass to the customer, including any decline in the market value of the product; the product is complete and ready for shipment; the product has been segregated from our inventory; payment terms for such arrangements have not been modified from our normal billing and credit terms; our custodial risks must be insurable and insured; and no further performance obligations by us exist. Extended procedures are not necessary to assure that there are no exceptions to the customer’s commitment to accept and pay for the product.

Out-of-Period Adjustments

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recordedout-of-period adjustments related to certain bill and hold transactions, which decreased revenue by $3.4 million, decreased gross profit by $0.5 million, and decreased net income by $0.3 million (or $0.01 per diluted share). There were no such out-of-period adjustments in the three months ended September 30, 2017. We evaluated these adjustments considering both qualitative and quantitative factors and the impact of these adjustments in relation to each period, as well as the periods in which they originated. The impact of recognizing these adjustments in prior years was not material to any individual period. Management believes these adjustments are immaterial to these condensed consolidated financial statements and all previously issued financial statements. Such out-of-period adjustments are not part of the Correction of Prior Period Financial Information described above.

RecentRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Inventory Valuation.Revenue Recognition In July 2015, the Financial.Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards BoardCodification (“FASB”ASC”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which became effective in the first quarter of 2017. ASU2015-11 requires that inventory be valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. We previously valued inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value less a reasonable profit margin as allowed by previous inventory valuation guidance. The adoption of ASU2015-11 increased our inventory valuation by $1.7 million as of September 30, 2017.

Revenue Recognition. ASU2014-09,606Revenue from Contracts with Customers issued (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to all incomplete contracts as of the date of initial application. ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in May 2014, ASU2016-10,ASC 605, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance ObligationsRecognition (“ASC 605”), and Licensing, and subsequent amendments, enhancerequires the comparabilityrecognition of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. The principles-based guidance provides a framework for addressing revenue recognition issues comprehensively. The standards require that revenue be recognizedwhen promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerationconsiderations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which are referred to as performance obligations.

ASU2014-09 will be effective in the first quarterservices. In addition, ASC 606 requires disclosure of 2018. Two adoption methods are allowed under ASU2014-09: the full retrospective method and modified retrospective method. We have elected to use the modified retrospective method by applying the revised guidance to contracts that have not been completed as of January 1, 2018. Retained earnings will be adjusted for the cumulative effect of the change on January 1, 2018. The new standard requires comprehensive annual and interim disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of recognized revenue, which will be provided in the year of adoption along with the impact on recognized revenue compared with revenue that would have been recognized under prior guidance. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures will be required regarding:

disaggregation of our current disclosures of revenue by segment and geographic area into categories that depict how revenue and cash flows are impacted by economic factors,

timing of recognition, contract duration, and sales channel,

billed and unbilledarising from contracts with customers, including revenuecustomers. Effective January 1, 2018, we also adopted ASC340-40,Other Assets and impairments recognized, disaggregation, and information about contract balances and performance obligations,

significant judgments and changes in judgments requiredDeferred Costs - Contracts with Customers (“ASC340-40”) using the modified retrospective method to determineall incomplete contracts as of the transaction price, amounts allocated to performance obligations, anddate of initial application. ASC 340-40 requires the timing for recognizing revenue resulting from the satisfactiondeferral of performance obligations,

assets recognized from theincremental costs to obtain or fulfillof obtaining a contract (e.g., commissions),with a customer.

Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606 and ASC340-40, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. Additional discussion of these recently adopted pronouncements is included below, in Note 3 – Balance Sheet Details, and in Note 4 – Revenue Recognition.

bad debt provisionsWe recorded a net increase to our opening balance of retained earnings of $4.7 million as of January 1, 2018, after considering the income tax impact, due to the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606. The adoption impact primarily related to billed and unbilled receivables.

Upon evaluation, we believe the key changes in the guidance that impact our revenue recognition relate to the timing of revenue recognition and allocation of contract revenue between services and software licenses. The requirement to defer incrementalcapitalizing customer contract acquisition costs (e.g., commissions) and recognize themconsisting of sales commissions, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue to reflect the inclusion of significant financing components that will be recognized as interest income as payments are received over the contract period orcontractual terms, and upfront setup fees that will recognized ratably over the expected customer life will resultcontractual terms.

The cumulative effect of applying ASC 606 to active contracts as of the adoption date resulted in the recognition of a deferred charge on our balance sheet. We are assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements, systems, and controls upon adoption.

Principal vs Agent. ASU2016-08, Principal vs. Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross vs Net), issued in March 2016, streamlines and clarifies the criteria for identifying whether an entity is satisfying a performance obligation as the principal or agent in the transaction.

Several indicators of the nature of the relationship that are considered under current guidance have been streamlined and clarified in the new guidance by focusing more specifically on the performance obligations that must be fulfilled in the transaction, which entity carries the inventory risk in the transaction, and which entity controls the pricing of the good or service. Credit risk will no longer be a criterion. This guidance will be effective in the first quarter of 2018. We are evaluating its impact on our revenue and results of operations related to third party ink revenue and certain printer components.

Financial Instruments. ASU2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, issued in June 2016, amends current guidance regarding other-than-temporary impairment ofavailable-for-sale debt securities. The new guidance requires an estimate of expected credit loss when fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset without regard for the length of time that the fair value has been below the amortized cost or the historical or implied volatility of the asset. Credit losses onavailable-for-sale debt securities will be limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. The use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses (and subsequent recoveries) will also be required under the new guidance.

ASU2016-13 will be effective in the first quarter of 2020. We are evaluating its impact on the carrying value of ouravailable-for-sale securities and results of operations.

Settlement of Convertible Debt. ASU2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, issued in August 2016, requires that cash settlements of principal amounts of debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the debt must classify the portion of the principal payment attributable to the accreted interest related to the debt discount as cash outflows from operating activities. This is consistent with the classification of the coupon interest payments.

ASU2016-15 will be effective in the first quarter of 2018. Accordingly, $63.6 million debt discount attributable to the difference between the 0.75% coupon interest rate on our 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2019 (“Notes”) and the 4.98% (5.46% inclusive of debt issuance costs) effective interest rate will be classified as an operating cash outflow in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows upon cash settlement.

Income Taxes.Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118 provides guidance for the application of ASC 740 for a measurement period to complete the accounting for certain elements of the NotesTax Cut & Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). The measurement period is defined as up to one year from the enactment date, which will expire on December 22, 2018. SAB 118 requires that we recognize those income tax effects in cashour financial statements for which the accounting can be completed, as might be the case for the effect of rate changes on or priordeferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. For matters that have not been completed, we are required to recognize provisional amounts to the maturity date of September 1, 2019, the cash outflow of $63.6 million will be recordedextent that they are reasonably estimable, adjust them during a measurement period when more information becomes available, and report this information in operating activitiesour financial statements in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.that period.

Restricted Cash.Cash In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU. Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”)2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, became effective in the first quarter of 2018 requiring that the statement of cash flows to explain the change in cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will beare included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling thebeginning-of-period andend-of-period total amounts shown onin the statement of cash flows. Under current guidance,We previously included the changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included in operating or investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Upon the adoption of ASU2016-18, will be effective in the first quarter of 2018. Changeschanges in restricted cash equivalents related to theoff-balance sheet financing arrangement described in Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements willare no longer be presented as an investing cash outflow, but will instead beare presented as a component of the beginning and ending balance of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.

Lease Arrangements. Under current guidance, the classificationReconciliation of a lease by a lessee as either an operating or capital lease determines whether an assetCash, cash equivalents, and liability is recognized on the balance sheet. ASU2016-02, Leases, issued in February 2016 and effective in the first quarter of 2019, requires that a lessee recognize an asset and liability on its balance sheet related to all leases with terms in excess of one year. For all leases, a lessee will be required to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position. Theright-to-use asset represents the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term.

The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses andrestricted cash flows by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous guidance. There continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. The criteria for determining whether a lease is a financing or operating lease are substantially the same as existing guidance except that the “bright line” percentages have been removed.equivalents

 

For finance leases, interest is recognized on the lease liability separately from depreciation of theright-of-use asset in the statement of operations. Principal repayments are classified within financing activities and interest payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

For operating leases, a lessee is required to recognize lease expense generally on a straight-line basis. All operating lease payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

The currentbuild-to-suit lease accounting guidance will be rescinded by the new guidance, although simplified guidance will remain regarding lessee control during the construction period. Consequently, the accounting forbuild-to-suit leases will be the same as finance leases unless the lessee control provisions are applicable.

We have not quantified the impact, but the requirement to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability related to operating leases will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position as reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As stated above, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous guidance; accordingly, the impact on our results of operations as reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations is not expected to be material.

Definition of a Business.Business. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB’) issued ASU2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, was issued in January 2017, andwhich significantly narrows how businesses are defined. Under current guidance, a business is defined as an integrated setand became effective in the first quarter of assets and activities that usually consists of business processes and their related inputs and outputs. However, business process outputs are not required to be present and only some business process inputs and business processes must be present if the acquiring entity can produce outputs by integrating the acquired set of assets and activities with its own inputs and processes. Essentially, existing guidance only requires that business processes and inputs be present in order to constitute a business.

2018. Under ASU2017-01, when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the assets acquired do not constitute a business. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, then the assets acquired may constitute a business if certain criteria are met. We must determine whether the acquired gross assets and activities include an input and a “substantive” process that together “significantly” contribute to the ability to create an output. A framework and specific criteria are provided to assist with the evaluation of whether a process is “substantive” and “significantly contributes” to the ability to create an output. “Output” is narrowly defined to be consistent with the description of a performance obligation in the new revenue guidance.guidance or this ASU. Missing inputs and processes may not be replaced by integration with our own inputs and processes under the new guidance. The adoption of ASU2017-01

Our did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements may be impacted if an acquisition doesas of March 31, 2018 because we did not qualify asacquire a business combination after ASU2017-01 is effective induring the first quarter of 2018. Such acquisitions would be accounted for as asset purchases.

Nonfinancial Asset Derecognition.Derecognition. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets: Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope of recent guidance as it relates to nonfinancial asset derecognition and the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The ASU conforms the derecognition guidance as it relates to nonfinancial assets with the derecognition guidance in the new revenue standard (ASU2014-09) and is expected to have a material impact on the accounting for real estate dispositions.

ASU2017-05 will bebecame effective in the first quarter of 2018. WeDuring the three months ended March 31, 2018, we did not have elected to adopt the modified retrospective method of implementation.anynon-financial asset derecognition transactions.

Stock Compensation Modification.Modification. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-09, Stock Compensation – Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements.arrangements, which became effective in the first quarter of 2018. Specifically, an entity wouldwe do not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification.

ASU2017-09 will be effective in the first quarter of 2018. We willelected to adopt this guidance prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU2017-09 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Settlement of Convertible Debt. ASU2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, issued in August 2016, requires that cash settlements of principal amounts of debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the debt must classify the portion of the principal payment attributable to the accreted interest related to the debt discount as cash outflows from operating activities. This is consistent with the classification of the coupon interest payments.

ASU2016-15 became effective in the first quarter of 2018. Accordingly, $63.6 million of the debt discount attributable to the difference between the 0.75% coupon interest rate on our 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (“Notes”) and the 4.98% (5.46% inclusive of debt issuance costs) effective interest rate will be classified as an operating cash outflow in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows upon cash settlement. If we settle the conversion of the Notes in cash on or prior to the maturity date of September 1, 2019, the cash outflow of $63.6 million will be recorded in operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Convertible debt was not settled as of March 31, 2018. We dowill apply ASU2016-15 upon cash settlement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Lease Arrangements. Under current guidance, the classification of a lease by a lessee as either an operating or capital lease determines whether an asset and liability is recognized on the balance sheet. ASU2016-02, Leases, which was issued in February 2016 and will be effective in the first quarter of 2019, requires that a lessee recognize an asset and liability on its balance sheet related to all leases with terms in excess of one year. For all leases, a lessee will be required to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position. Theright-to-use asset represents the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term.

The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows by a lessee have not believe thissignificantly changed from previous guidance. There continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. The criteria for determining whether a lease is a finance or operating lease are substantially the same as existing guidance except that the “bright line” percentages have been removed. Also, an additional criterion has been added in the new guidance to consider whether the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Additional judgement will be required in applying the new lease guidance.

For finance leases, interest is recognized on the lease liability separately from depreciation of theright-of-use asset in the statement of operations. Principal repayments are classified within financing activities and interest payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

For operating leases, a lessee is required to recognize lease expense generally on a straight-line basis. All operating lease payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

The currentbuild-to-suit lease accounting guidance will materiallybe rescinded by the new guidance, although simplified guidance will remain regarding lessee control during the construction period. Consequently, the accounting forbuild-to-suit leases will be the same as operating leases unless the lessee control provisions are applicable.

We have not quantified the impact, but the requirement to recognize aright-of-use asset and a lease liability related to operating leases will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position as reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As stated above, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous guidance; accordingly, the impact on our results of operations.operations as reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is not expected to be material. We also do not expect a material impact on our results of operations or financial position from adoption of this standard to our lease transactions as lessor.

Hedge Accounting.Accounting. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Our foreign currency derivative contracts include notional amounts of $3.8 million that have been designated as cash flow hedges of our Indian rupee operating expense exposure at September 30, 2017. Under current guidance, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of these contracts are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified to operating expense in the periods of payment of the hedged cash flows. The ineffective portion is recognized as a component of interest income and other income, net. Under the new guidance, the entire change in the fair value of hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedges that are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness will be recorded in OCI. Those amounts are reclassified to earnings in the periods of payment in the same income statement line item as the hedged operating expenses. Upon adoption, a cumulative-effect adjustment will be required to chargefor the ineffective portion of derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges existing at the date of adoption to accumulated OCI with a corresponding adjustment to the retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of the adoption.

The new guidance continues to require an initial prospective quantitative hedge effectiveness assessment unless the hedging relationship qualifies for the critical-terms-match method or facts and circumstances method, which permit an assumption of perfect hedge effectiveness. After the initial quantitative assessment, the new guidance permits a qualitative ongoing effectiveness assessment for certain hedges if we can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the term of the hedge. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure related to the effect on the income statement of cash flow hedges.

ASU2017-12 will be effective in the first quarter of 2019. We do not believe this guidance will materially impact our results of operations. We did not have any of these cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2018.

Financial Instruments. ASU2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, issued in June 2016, amends current guidance regarding other-than-temporary impairment ofavailable-for-sale debt securities. The new guidance requires an estimate of expected credit loss when fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset without regard for the length of time that the fair value has been below the amortized cost or the historical or implied volatility of the asset. Credit losses onavailable-for-sale debt securities will be limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value. The use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses (and subsequent recoveries) will also be required under the new guidance.

ASU2016-13 will be effective in the first quarter of 2020. We are evaluating its impact on the carrying value of ouravailable-for-sale securities and results of operations.

Judgments are made after considering a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience, current creditworthiness, current economic impacts on the customer, past due balances, and significantone-time events or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information.

For customer arrangements that include multiple products or services, judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. Where an observable price is not available, we gather all reasonable available data points, consider adjustments based on market conditions, entity-specific factors, and the need to stratify selling prices into meaningful groups (e.g., geographic region) in determining SSP. We allocate the total contract consideration to each distinct performance obligation on a relative SSP basis. Revenue is then recognized in accordance with the timing of the transfer of control to the customer.

Accounting for long-term contracts where we provide information technology system development and implementation services requires significant judgment to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For long-term contracts, we estimate the profit on a contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete the services. We then recognize that revenue and profit over the life of the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that could span several years.

A change in our estimate of total cost to complete could affect the profitability of our contracts. We review and update our contract-related estimates regularly, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that they are determined. Changes in estimates related to certain types of contracts accounted for using an input method measure of progress, such ascost-to-cost, can occur over the life of a contract for a variety of reasons, including the availability of labor and labor productivity, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, cost estimates, level of effort and/or other assumptions impacting revenue or cost to perform a contract. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulativecatch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time, the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize the total loss in the quarter it is identified.

Management exercises judgment to determine the period of benefit to amortize contract acquisition costs by considering factors such as expected renewals of customer contracts, duration of customer relationships and our technology development life cycle. Although we believe that the historical assumptions and estimates we have made are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact our reported financial results. Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs is included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. We periodically review these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit of these deferred contract acquisition costs.

The nature of our products and services are as follows:

License.Our software license arrangements provide the customer with the right to install and use functional intellectual property (as it exists at the point in time at which the license is granted) for the duration of the contract term. Under these arrangements, the software is installed at the customer’s location. Revenue from distinct software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer for download.

Our software license arrangements are generally comprised of fixed license fees (“license fees”) that are payable upfront, annually, quarterly, or monthly based on negotiated customer payment terms. For software license arrangements in which a significant portion of the license fees are due more than 12 months after the software is delivered to the customer, a significant financing component may exist. The significant financing component is calculated as the difference between the stated value and present value of the software license fees and is recognized as interest income under the effective interest method over the contract term. The total software license fee net of the significant financing component is recognized as revenue at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer for download. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition and the timing of invoicing is one year or less, we follow the practical expedient and do not impute interest for these contracts.

Maintenance.Our software license arrangements typically include an initial (bundled) post contract customer support (maintenance or “PCS”) term. Our promise to those customers who elect to purchase PCS represents a distinct, stand-ready performance obligation. Contract consideration is allocated to the PCS based on its relative SSP and revenue is recognized over the PCS term.

Professional Services. We provide various professional services to customers, primarily project management, software implementation and training. Revenues from arrangements to provide professional services are generally distinct from the other promises in the contract(s). The majority of our professional services contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. For contracts billed on a fixed price basis, revenue is recognized in accordance with the input method based on the proportion of services performed to the total fixed fee.

Software as a Service (“SaaS”). Our SaaS-based arrangements provide customers with continuous access to the software solutions in the form of a service hosted in the cloud. These arrangements may include initial implementation and setup services and/oron-going support services that represent a single promise (i.e. each individual promised service is not distinct) to provide continuous access to the software solution. Any setup fees associated with our SaaS arrangements, assuming they do not create a material right, are recognized ratably over the contract term. If they do create a material right, we recognize the setup fees over the contract term plus expected renewals.

As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as access is provided, our performance obligation under our SaaS-based arrangements is comprised of a series of distinct services delivered over time. Our SaaS-based arrangements may include fixed, variable, or a combination of fixed and variable consideration. Fixed consideration is recognized over the term of the arrangement. Variable consideration in these arrangements is typically a function of a tier-based pricing structure. Variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and allocated to each distinct service period within the series and revenue is recognized as each distinct service period is performed.

Hardware. Our hardware, such as Industrial Inkjet printers and Fiery digital front ends (“DFEs”), are generally sold with software that is integral to the functionality of the product. In these cases, the hardware and software license are accounted for as a single performance obligation. The contract consideration is generally in the form of a fixed fee at contract inception and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Considerations received from customers may includetrade-in printers, which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

We offer shipping and handling services to customers related to the sale of hardware. We have elected the practical expedient to account for shipping and handling activities performed after transferring control of goods to our customer as a cost to fulfill the contract. The cost of shipping and handling will be accrued at the point in which control transfers to the customer and revenue is recognized.

Ink. We typically enter into contracts with our existing customer base of installed printers to purchase ink that is not bundled with other deliverables within the contract. The ink is accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of ink is transferred to the customer.

Customized Development.We enter into contracts for professional services required to customize our hardware and software products to allow them to be integrated with a customer’s copier or other product. These integration services are designed to meet the customer’s specifications. The contract pricing is typically at a fixed amount which is paid over the contract term, based on the completion of the phases of the project. The services provided under these contracts result in the transfer of control of the applicable deliverable over time. We recognize revenue on the proportion of labor hours expended and/or costs incurred to the total estimated labor hours and/or costs expected as of the completion of the services.

Extended Service Plans (“ESP”).For our hardware arrangements, we enter into contracts with customers to provide services to maintain and repair the hardware for an extended period. ESPs are classified as service-type warranties under ASC 606 as they are sold separately and provide services which are incremental to the assurance that the product will perform to the agreed upon standards. The ESPs are accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Revenue from ESPs are recognized ratably over the contract period as the service is provided.

Note 2. Earnings Per Share

Net income per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income per diluted common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method,non-vested shares of restricted stock having a dilutive effect,non-vested restricted stock for which the performance criteria have been met, shares to be purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) having a dilutive effect, the assumed release of shares from escrow related to the acquisition of Corrugated Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), the assumed conversion of our Notes having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method when the stock price exceeds the conversion price of the Notes, andas well as the assumed exercisedilutive effect of our warrants having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method when the stock price exceeds the warrant strike price. Any potential shares that are anti-dilutive as defined in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities.

Performance-based and market-based restricted stock and stock options that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the vesting period, if the result would be dilutive, are assumed to be outstanding for purposes of determining net income per diluted common share as of the later of the beginning of the period or the grant date in accordance with ASC260-10-45-48. Accordingly, performance-based RSUs, which vested on various dates during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, based on achievement of specified performance criteria related to revenue, cash flows from operating activities, andnon-GAAP operating income targets and performance-based stock options, which vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 based on achievement of specified targets related tonon-GAAP return on equity, are included in the determination of net income per diluted common share as of the beginning of each period.

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include the effect of the potential common shares from conversion of our Notes and exercise of our Warrants.warrants, which were issued in September 2014. The effects of these potentially outstanding shares were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive since the conversion price of the Notes and the strike price of the Warrantswarrants exceeded the average market price of our common stock. We have the option to pay cash, issue shares of common stock, or any combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion of the Notes. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion. As a result, only amounts payable in excess of the principal amount of the Notes are considered in diluted net income per share under the treasury stock method. The Note Hedges are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect of any exercise of the Note Hedges would be anti-dilutive.

Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs

ASC340-40,Other Assets and Deferred Costs – Contracts with Customers, requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.

Certain of our sales incentive programs that meet the definition of an incremental cost of obtaining a customer contract are required to be capitalized. 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.

Sales commissions for renewal of a contract may not be commensurate with the commissions paid for the acquisition of the initial contract because commissions are generally not paid on the renewal of the specifically anticipated contract. Sales commissions for initial contracts are deferred and then amortized generally on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we have determined to be three to four years. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration our customer contracts, our technology, and other factors.

Upon adoption of ASC340-40 on January 1, 2018, we capitalized $8.1 million in contract acquisition costs related to contracts that were not completed. For contracts that have durations of less than one year, we follow the practical expedient and expense these costs when incurred.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we amortized $1.1 million of deferred contract acquisition costs. There was no impairment loss in relation to costs capitalized. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, an additional $1.0 million of contract acquisition costs were capitalized. Deferred contract acquisition costs are included within other noncurrent assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred Cost of Revenue

Deferred cost of revenue related to unrecognized revenue on shipments to customers was $7.2$1.4 and $3.4$3.5 million as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, and is included in other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 4. AcquisitionsRevenue Recognition

We acquired privately held Generation Digital Solutions, Inc.derive our revenue primarily from product revenue, which includes industrial digital inkjet printers, including display graphics, ceramic tile decoration, and textile printers, ink, and parts; print production software; and Fiery DFEs. We receive service revenue from software maintenance and printer maintenance agreements, customer support, training, software development, and consulting.

In accordance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when control of the promised products and/or services is transferred to our customers in an amount reflecting the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for those products or services.

The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by source (in thousands, unaudited). Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods (“GD”backlog”), CRC Information Systems, Inc. (“CRC”). Remaining performance obligations were $121.5 million as of March 31, 2018, of which we expect to recognize substantially all of the revenue over the next 12 months.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from Reynoldstiming of invoicing to customers. Payment terms and Reynolds Company (“Reynolds”),conditions vary by contract type. Deferred revenue (contract liability) represents amounts received in advance, or invoiced in advance, for product support contracts, software customer support contracts, consulting and certain assets comprisingintegration projects, SaaS arrangements, or product sales. We defer these amounts when we collect or invoice the FFPS business from Xerox Corporation (“Xerox”), during 2017, which have been includedcustomer and then generally recognize revenue either ratably over the support contract term, upon performing the related services, under thecost-to-cost method, or in accordance with our Fiery or Productivity Software operating segments. Acquisition-related transaction costs were $0.6 and $1.8 millionrevenue recognition policy. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018, which was included in deferred revenue at December 31, 2017, respectively, and $0.4 and $1.7 millionwas $27.3 million.

Unbilled accounts receivable (contract assets) represents contract assets for revenue that have been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for long-term contracts. Billing requirements vary by contract but are generally structured around the completion of certain development milestones. Unbilled accounts receivable at December 31, 2017, that were transferred to accounts receivable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, related to all acquisitions.

These acquisitions were accounted for as purchase business combinations. We allocated the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value on their acquisition dates. Excess purchase considerationMarch 31, 2018, was recorded as goodwill. Factors contributing to a purchase price that results in goodwill include, but are not limited to, the retention of research and development personnel with skills to develop future technology, support personnel to provide maintenance services related to the products, a trained sales force capable of selling current and future products, the opportunity to cross-sell products of the acquired businesses to existing customers, the opportunity to integrate acquired technology into our products, the positive reputation of GD, CRC, and FFPS in the market, integration of the GD digital textile design workflow with our Fiery textile digital front ends (“DFEs”) and Reggiani digital textile printers linking textile design and production, the opportunity to sell Fiery DFEs to FFPS customers, and the opportunity to expand our presence in the DFE market through the synergy of FFPS technology with existing Fiery products.

We engaged a third party valuation firm to aid management in its analyses of the fair value of these acquired businesses. All estimates, key assumptions, and forecasts were either provided by or reviewed by us. While we chose to utilize a third party valuation firm, the fair value analyses and related valuations represent the conclusions of management and not the conclusions or statements of any third party.$12.8 million.

The purchase price allocations are preliminary and subject to change withinfollowing table reflects the measurement period as the valuations are finalized. We expect to continue to obtain information to assist us in finalizing the fair value of the net assets acquired during the measurement period, which end at various dates in 2018. Measurement period adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, if any.

Fiery Operating Segment

We acquired privately held GD, which is a New York corporation headquartered in New York City on August 14, 2017 for cash consideration of $3.2 million, net of cash acquired, plus an additional potential future cash earnout, which is contingent on achieving certain revenue and operating profit performance targets during asix-month period followed sequentially by a12-month period. GD provides software to textile and fashion designers for the creation and design of prints and patterns, color matching, and color palette creation and management. GD will be integrated into the Fiery operating segment.

The fair value of the earnout related to the GD acquisition is currently estimated to be $3.6 million at September 30, 2017, by applying the income approach in accordance with ASC805-30-25-5, Business Combinations. Key assumptions include risk-free discount rate of 2.83% and probability-adjusted revenue and operating profit levels. Probability-adjusted revenue and operating profit are significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which ASC820-10-35 refers to as a Level 3 inputs. This contingent liability is reflectedbalances in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017, as a currentunbilled accounts receivable and noncurrent liability of $1.0 and $2.6 million, respectively, with the first payment due in the third quarter of 2018, if earned. In accordance with ASC805-30-35-1, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date are recognized in general and administrative expenses.

We acquired certain assets comprising the FFPS business from Xerox, a New York corporation headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, on January 31, 2017. The FFPS business manufactures and markets the FFPS DFE, which is a DFE that previously competed with our Fiery DFEs and is included in our Fiery operating segment.

We purchased FFPS for cash consideration of $23.9 million consisting of $5.9 million paid at closing, $9.0 million paid in July 2017, and $9.0 million payable in July 2018, which have been discounted at our incremental borrowing rate of 4.98%, resulting in a purchase price of $23.1 million.

Productivity Software Operating Segment

We acquired privately held CRC, which is a Michigan corporation headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, from Reynolds, which is an Ohio corporation headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, on May 8, 2017, for cash consideration of $7.6 million. CRC provides business process automation software for label and packaging printers for commercial businesses and is included in the Midmarket Print Suite within our Productivity Software operating segment.

Valuation Methodologies

Intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships, the Master Purchasing Agreement (the “Purchasing Agreement”) with Xerox,“take-or-pay” contractual penalty, trade names, existing technologies, andin-process research & development (“IPR&D”). The intangible asset valuation methodologies for each acquisition assume a risk-free discount rate of 4.98% or probability-adjusted discount rates between 13% and 23%.

Customer Relationships and Backlog were valued using the excess earnings method, which is an income approach. The value of customer relationships lies in the generation of a consistent and predictabledeferred revenue source and the avoidance of costs associated with developing the relationships. Customer relationships were valued by estimating the revenue attributable to existing customer relationships and probability-weighting each forecast year to reflect the uncertainty of maintaining existing relationships based on historical attrition rates.

Trade Names were valued using the relief from royalty method, which is an income approach, with royalty rates based on various factors including an analysis of market data, comparable trade name agreements, and historical advertising dollars spent supporting the trade name.

Existing Technologies were valued using the relief from royalty method based on royalty rates for similar technologies. The values of existing technologies are derived from consistent and predictable revenue, including the opportunity to cross-sell to existing customers, and the avoidance of the costs associated with developing the technologies. Revenue related to existing technologies was adjusted in each forecast year to reflect the evolution of the technology and the cost of sustaining research and development required to maintain the technology.

Purchasing Agreement was valued using the excess earnings method, which is an income approach. The Purchasing Agreement entered into with Xerox states that we will be Xerox’s preferred supplier of DFEs provided that we meet quality, cost, delivery, and services requirements. The value of the Purchasing Agreement lies in the generation of a consistent and predictable revenue source without incurring the costs normally required to acquire the Purchasing Agreement. The Purchasing Agreement was valued by estimating the revenue attributable to the Purchasing Agreement and probability-weighting each forecast year to reflect the uncertainty of maintaining the existing relationship with Xerox beyond the initial five-year term of the agreement.

Take-or-pay Contract was valued using the Monte Carlo method, which is an income approach. If Xerox’s purchases of Fiery and FFPS DFEs during each of four consecutive12-month periods is less than the minimum level defined for each purchase period, then Xerox shall make aone-time payment in an amount equal to a percentage of such shortfall compared to the minimum level, subject to the maximum payment amount agreed between the parties for each purchase period. Key assumptions include a risk-free discount rate of 4.98%, asset volatility of 27%, and probability-adjusted DFE revenue. If Xerox’s purchases of Fiery and FFPS DFEs exceed the minimum purchase levels defined for each purchase period, then we will pay a percentage of such excess to Xerox.

IPR&D was valued using the relief from royalty method by estimating the cost to develop purchased IPR&D into commercially viable products, estimating the net cash flows resulting from the sale of those products, and discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. FFPS project schedules were 63% complete as of the acquisition date and have been completed as of September 30, 2017, based on management’s estimate that technical and commercial feasibility has been achieved. IPR&D is subject to amortization after product completion over the product life or otherwise assessed for impairment in accordance with acquisition accounting guidance. Additional costs incurred to complete IPR&D after the acquisition were expensed.

Note 5. Investments and Fair Value Measurements

We invest our excess cash on deposit with major banks in money market, United States (“U.S.”) Treasury and government-sponsored entity, corporate, municipal government, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed residential debt securities. By policy, we invest primarily in high-grade marketable securities. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or issuers of these investments to the extent of amounts recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Typically, the cost of these investments has approximated fair value. Marketable investments with a maturity greater than three months are classified asavailable-for-sale short-term investments.Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of OCI, adjusted for deferred income taxes. The credit portion of any other-than-temporary impairment is included in net income. Realized gains and losses on sales of financial instruments are recognized upon sale of the investments using the specific identification method.

Ouravailable-for-sale short-term investments as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016,the periods presented below are summarized as follows (in thousands):

For fixed income securities that have unrealized losses as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we have determined that we do not have the intent to sell any of these investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. We have evaluated these fixed income securities and determined that no credit losses exist. Accordingly, management has determined that the unrealized losses on our fixed income securities as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, were temporary in nature.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2: Inputs that are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life or by comparison to similar instruments; and

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable or reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. These include management’s own judgments about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our fixed income securities. The market approach is a valuation technique that uses the prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The fair value of our fixed income securities is obtained using readily-available market prices from a variety of industry standard data providers, large financial institutions, and other third-party sources for the identical underlying securities. The fair value of our investments in certain money market funds is expected to maintain a Net Asset Valuenet asset value of $1 per share and, as such, is priced at the expected market price.

We obtain the fair value of our Level 2 financial instruments from several third partythird-party asset managers, custodian banks, and the accounting service providers. Independently, these service providers use professional pricing services to gather pricing data, which may include quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. As part of this process, we engaged a pricing service to assist management in its pricing analysis and assessment of other-than-temporary impairment. All estimates, key assumptions, and forecasts were either provided by or reviewed by us. While we chose to utilize a third partythird-party pricing service, the impairment analysis and related valuations represent conclusions of management and not conclusions or statements of any third party.

Our investments and liabilities measured at fair value have been presented in accordance with the fair value hierarchy specified in ASC 820, as of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016the periods presented below, in order of liquidity as follows (in thousands):

Money market funds consist of $24.4 and $23.6 million, which have been classified as cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

Investments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Investments in U.S. Treasury obligations and overnight money market mutual funds have been classified as Level 1 because these securities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets or are actively traded at $1.00 Net Asset Value.net asset value. There have been no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016.2017.

Government agency investments and corporate debt instruments, including investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, have generally been classified as Level 2 because markets for these securities are less active or valuations for such securities utilize significant inputs, which are directly or indirectly observable. We hold asset-backed securities with income payments derived from and collateralized by a specified pool of underlying assets. Asset-backed securities in the portfolio are predominantly collateralized by credit cards and auto loans. We also hold two asset-backed securities collateralized by mortgage loans, which have been fully reserved.

Liabilities for Contingent Consideration

Acquisition-related liabilities for contingent consideration (i.e., earnouts) are related to the purchase business combinations of GDEscada Innovations Limited and Escada Systems, Inc. (collectively, “Escada”) and Generation Digital Solutions, Inc. (“Generation Digital”), in 2017; Optitex Ltd. (“Optitex”) and Rialco Limited (“Rialco”) in 2016; Shuttleworth Business Systems Limited and CDM Solutions Limited (collectively, “Shuttleworth”), CTI, and Reggiani in 2015; DiMS! organizing print BVMacchine SpA (“DIMS”), DirectSmile GmbH (“DirectSmile”), and SmartLinc, Inc. (“SmartLinc”Reggiani”) in 2014; Outback Software Pty. Ltd. doing business as Metrix Software (“Metrix”)2015; and PrintLeader Software (“PrintLeader”) in 2013.

The fair value of these earnouts is estimated to be $53.5$34.0 and $56.5$35.7 million as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, by applying the income approach in accordance with ASC805-30-25-5. Key assumptions include risk-free discount rates between 0.6% and 4.98% (Monte Carlo valuation method) and discount rates between 4.7% and 6.0% (probability-adjusted method), as well as probability-adjusted revenue, gross profit, and earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) levels.direct operating income using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Probability-adjusted revenue, gross profit, and direct operating profit, and EBITincome are significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which ASC820-10-35 refers to as Level 3 inputs. These contingent liabilities have been reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, as current and noncurrent liabilities of $29.6$16.0 and $23.9$18.0 million, respectively.

TheChanges in the fair value of contingent consideration increased by $2.2 million, including $1.2 million of earnout interest accretion related to all acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. are summarized as follows (in thousands):

The OptitexGeneration Digital and CTIShuttleworth earnout performance probabilities decreased in 2018 based on recent actual and updated forecasted financial performance. The Optitex, CTI and Rialco earnout performance probabilities increased during 2017, while the Shuttleworth earnout performance probability decreased in 2017. The fair value of contingent consideration increased by $6.8 million, including $2.7 million of earnout interest accretion related to all acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Rialco, Optitex, Reggiani, DirectSmile, and CTI earnout performance probabilities increased while the DIMS and Shuttleworth earnout performance probabilities decreased or were not achieved in 2016.decreased. In accordance with ASC805-30-35-1, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date have been recognized in general and administrative expense.

Since theThe primary inputs to the fair value measurement of contingent consideration liability are the discount rate and probability-adjusted revenue or earnings targets specified in the acquisition agreements. Accordingly, we reviewed the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in these inputs. We assessed the probability of achieving the revenue performance targets for contingent consideration associated with each acquisition at percentage levels between 60%50% and 100% as of each respective acquisition date based on an assessment of the historical performance of each acquired entity, our current expectations of future performance, and other relevant factors. A change in probability-adjusted revenue of five percentage points from the level assumed in the current valuations would result in an increase in the fair value of contingent consideration of $1.7$1.8 million or a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration of $2.8$2.3 million, resulting in a corresponding adjustment to general and administrative expense. A change in the discount rate of one percentage point would result in an increase in the fair value of contingent consideration of $0.4$0.3 million or a decrease of $0.5$0.3 million. The potential undiscounted amount of future contingent consideration cash payments that we could be required to make related to our business acquisitions, beyond amounts currently accrued, is $13.5$10.6 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

We utilize the income approach to measure the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates, and forward prices, and are therefore classified as Level 2 measurements. The notional amount of our derivative assets and liabilities was $191.8$243.5 and $161.8$239.4 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. We did not have any cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2018. The fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities that were designated for cash flow hedge accounting treatment having notional amounts of $3.8 and $3.2$3.9 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively,2017 was not material.

Fair Value of Convertible Senior Notes

In September 2014, we issued $345 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes. The Notes are carried at their original issuance value, net of unamortized debt discount, and are not marked to market each period. The fair value of the Notes as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was approximately $360.9$334.7 million and was considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. Fair value was estimated based upon actual quotations obtained at the end of the reporting period or the most recent date available. A substantial portion of the market value of our Notes in excess of the outstanding principal amount relates to the conversion premium.

Note 6. Convertible Senior Notes, (“Notes”), Note Hedges, and Warrants

0.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2019

In September 2014, we completed a private placement of $345 million principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (“Notes”).September 1, 2019. The Notes were sold to the initial purchasers for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $336.3 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ commissions and the offering expenses paid by us. We used approximately $29.4 million of the net proceeds to purchase the Note Hedges described below, net of the proceeds from the Warrant transactions also described below.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of EFI with interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 2015. The Notes are not callable and will mature on September 1, 2019, unless previously purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Holders of the Notes who convert in connection with a “fundamental change,” as defined in the indenture governing the Notes (“Indenture”), may require us to purchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The initial conversion rate is 18.9667 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.72 per share of common stock. Upon conversion of the Notes, holders will receive cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof, at our election. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, we would deliver shares of our common stock for our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, none of the conditions listed below allowing holders of the Notes to convert had been met.

Throughout the term of the Notes, the conversion rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events. Holders of the Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a Note. Holders may convert their Notes only under the following circumstances:

 

if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

 

during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (“Notes Measurement Period”) in which the “trading price” (as the term is defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of such Notes Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported stock price on such trading day and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

 

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events; or

 

at any time on or after March 1, 2019 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

We separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Notes as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 4.98% per annum (5.46% inclusive of debt issuance costs). The equity component is not remeasured if it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

We allocated the total transaction costs incurred by the Notes issuance to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Issuance costs of $7.0 million attributable to the $281.4 million liability component are being amortized to expense over the term of the Notes, and issuance costs of $1.6 million attributable to the $63.6 million equity component were offset against the equity component in stockholders’ equity. Additionally, we recorded a deferred tax liability of $23.7 million on the debt discount, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Note Hedges

We paid an aggregate of $63.9 million in convertible note hedge transactions with respect to our common stock (“Note Hedges”) in September 2014. The Note Hedges will expire upon maturity of the Notes. The Note Hedges are intended to offset the potential dilution upon conversion and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Note Hedges, is greater than the strike price of the Note Hedges. The strike price of the Note Hedges initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion price of the Notes. The Note Hedges are separate transactions and are not part of the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Note Hedges.

Warrants

Concurrently with entering into the Note Hedges, we separately entered into warrant transactions (“Warrants”), whereby we sold Warrants to acquire shares of our common stock at a strike price of $68.86 per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $34.5 million from the sale of the Warrants. If the average market value per share of our common stock for the reporting period, as measured under the Warrants, exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Warrants will have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share. The Warrants are separate transactions and are not part of the Notes or the Note Hedges and are accounted for as a component of additionalpaid-in capital. Holders of the Notes and Note Hedges will not have any rights with respect to the Warrants.

Note 7. Income taxes

We recognized a tax provisionsbenefit of $0.8$2.1 and $1.0 million on pretax netloss of $5.7 million and pretax income of $4.2 and $11.8$3.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We recognized taxThe benefits of $11.8 and $9.0 million on pretax net income of $5.8 and $16.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The provisions for income taxes before discrete items reflected in the table below were $1.9$3.4 and $4.5$1.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $3.3 and $6.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in the provisions for income taxes before discrete items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared with the same periods in the prior year, is primarily due to decreased profitability before income taxes.

Primary differences between our provision for income taxes before discrete items and the income tax provision at the U.S. statutory rate of 35% include lower taxes on permanently reinvested foreign earnings, the tax effects of stock-based compensation expense pursuant to ASC718-740, Stock Compensation – Income Taxes, which arenon-deductible for tax purposes, and tax benefits from significantly lower reversal of uncertain tax positions in 2017 as compared to those recorded in 2016.the U.S. Research and Development Credit.

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was enacted by the U.S. government. The 2017 Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that impact the three months ended March 31, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, including, but not limited to lowering the U.S. corporate income tax from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, imposing aone-time deemed repatriation transition tax and the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. The enactment of the 2017 Tax Act requires companies, under ASC 740, to recognize the effects of changes in tax law and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The effects of these changes in tax law are recorded as a component of our tax provision, regardless of the category ofpre-tax income or loss to which the deferred taxes relate.

The SEC issued SAB 118, which allows us to record a provisional estimate of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the period in which we can make a reasonable estimate of its effects. We have recorded a $27.5 million tax charge in the year ended December 31, 2017 as a provisional estimate. This includes an estimated charge of $17.0 million related to the deemed repatriation transition tax, which is comprised of a gross transition tax of $27.0 million offset by foreign tax credits of $10.0 million. In addition, we recorded a $10.5 million charge related to the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities in the year ended December 31, 2017. While we have calculated a reasonable estimate of the impact of the U.S. tax rate reduction and the amount of the deemed repatriation transition tax, we are gathering additional information to refine and finalize our calculation of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act on our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities, the deemed repatriation transition tax, and other provisions associated with the 2017 Tax Act. We accrued an additional $1.2 million for state taxes related to the deemed repatriation transition tax in the three months ended March 31, 2018. As we obtain additional information, we will record adjustments in subsequent periods and will finalize the calculation of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2018, or in an earlier quarter if our analysis is complete.

The 2017 Tax Act also created a global intangiblelow-tax income (“GILTI”) provision, which is a minimum tax on certain foreign earnings, commencing in the year ending December 31, 2018. The amount of future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends on our current structure, estimated future results of global operations, and our intent and ability to modify our structure and/or our business. We are not yet able to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of this provision of the 2017 Tax Act. Any subsequent adjustment to the deferred tax amounts related to GILTI (or other computations) will be recorded as a tax expense in the quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, gross unrecognized benefits that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized were $32.3$32.8 and $32.0$33.9 million, respectively. Over the next twelve months, our existing tax positions will continue to generate increased liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. It is reasonably possible that our gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease up to $5.0$4.4 million in the next twelve months primarily due to the lapse of the statute of limitations for federal and state tax purposes.months. These adjustments, if recognized, would positively impact our effective tax rate, and would be recognized as additional tax benefits in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In accordance with ASU2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, Similar Tax Loss, or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, $19.9$16.4 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits were offset against deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and the remaining $12.4$16.4 million has been recorded as noncurrent income taxes payable.

We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have accrued $0.6 and $0.5 million, respectively, for potential payments of interest and penalties.

We are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2014-20152014-2016 tax years, state tax jurisdictions for the 2012-20152013-2016 tax years, the Netherlands tax authority for the 2012-20152014-2016 tax years, the Spanish tax authority for the 2013-2016 tax years, the Israel tax authority for the 2011-20152014-2016 tax years, and the Italian tax authority for the 2012-20152013-2016 tax years.

In 2016,During the fourth quarter of 2017, management approved a plan to sell approximately 5.631.5 acres of land and the office buildingtwo manufacturing buildings located at 1340 Corporate Center Curve, Eagan, Minnesota,One Vutek Place and 189 Waukewan Street, Meredith, New Hampshire, consisting of 43,682163,000 total square feet, and the related fixed assets were classified as held for sale. On April 13, 2017, we entered into an agreement under which we agreed to sell the office building and related land, subject to completion of a150-day due diligence period, which expired without the transaction closing on September 7, 2017. Accordingly, assetsfeet. Assets previously recorded as held for salewithin property and equipment, net, of $3.8$5.1 million which consistedconsisting of $2.9$4.5 million net book value of the facilityfacilities and $0.9$0.6 million of related land as of December 31, 2016, have been classifiedreclassified as assets held for use within property and equipment, net,sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017.December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018. Management has entered into an agreement to sell a portion of these facilities subject to due diligence and customary closing procedures. Management expects the sale of both of these facilities to be completed by December 31, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing – Lease Arrangements

On August 26, 2016, we entered into a lease agreement and have accounted for a lease term of 48.5 years, inclusive of two renewal options of 5.0 and 3.5 years, with the City of Manchester to lease 16.9 acres adjacent to the Manchester Regional Airport. The land is subleased to MUFG Americas Capital Leasing & Finance, LLC (“MUFG”), formerly Bank of Tokyo – Mitsubishi UFJ Leasing & Finance LLC (“BTMU”) during the term of the lease related to the manufacturing facility that is being constructed on the site, which is described below. Minimum lease payments are $13.1$13.3 million during the 48.5 yearentire48.5-year term of the land lease, excluding foursix months of the land lease that are financed into the manufacturing facility lease.

On August 26, 2016, we entered into asix-year lease with BTMUMUFG whereby a 225,000 square225,000-square foot manufacturing and warehouse facility is under construction related to our super-wide format industrial digital inkjet printer business in the Industrial Inkjet operating segment at a projected cost of $40 million and a construction period of 1820 months. Minimum lease payments during the initialsix-year term are $1.8 million. Upon completion of the initialsix-year term, we have the option to renew the lease, purchase the facility, or return the facility to BTMUMUFG subject to an 89% residual value guarantee under which we would recognize additional rent expense in the form of a variable rent payment. We have assessed our exposure in relation to the residual value guarantee and believe that there is no deficiency to the guaranteed value with respect to funds expended by BTMUMUFG as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. We are treated as the owner of the facility for federal income tax purposes.

The funds pledgedDuring the construction period, we are required under the lease represent 115%terms of our agreement with MUFG to maintain restricted cash equivalents or restricted investments equal to the amount expended to date on the construction of the total expenditures made by BTMU through September 30, 2017.building. The funds are invested in $20.9 and $6.8$35.7 million of U.S. government securities and cash equivalents respectively, with a third partythird-party trustee and will beare restricted during the construction period. Upon completion of construction, the funds will be released as cash and cash equivalents. The portion of released funds that represents 100% of the total expenditures made by BTMUMUFG will be deposited with BTMUMUFG and restricted as collateral until the end of the underlying lease period.

The funds pledged as collateral are invested in U.S. government securities and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017, and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as more fully defined in Note 5 – Investments and Fair Value Measurements. Net unrealized gains of less than $0.1 million were included in OCI in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017.

We have determined that the lease agreement does not qualify as a variable interest entity under ASC810-10, Consolidation, and as such, we are not required to consolidate the VIE in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

We may be involved, from time to time, in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, or proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities laws, intellectual property rights, employment, or other matters that may arise in the normal course of business. We assess our potential liability in each of these matters by using the information available to us. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. We accrue estimated losses from contingencies if a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we are subject to the matters discussed below:

Matan Digital Printing (“MDG”) Matter

EFI acquired Matan Digital Printers (“Matan”) in 2015 from sellers (the “2015 Sellers”) that acquired Matan Digital Printing Ltd. from other sellers in 2001 (the “2001 Sellers”). The 2001 Sellers have asserted a claim against the 2015 Sellers and Matan asserting that they are entitled to a portion of the 2015 Sellers’ proceeds from EFI’s acquisition. The 2015 Sellers dispute this claim and have agreed to indemnify EFI against the 2001 Sellers’ claim.

Although we are fully indemnified and we do not believe that it is probable that we will incur a loss, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that we could incur a material loss in this matter. We estimate the range of loss to be between one dollar and $10.1 million. If we incur a loss in this matter, it will be offset by a receivable of an equal amount representing a claim for indemnification against the escrow account established in connection with the Matan acquisition.

Purported Class Action Lawsuit

On August 10, 2017, a putative class action was filed against the Company and its two named executive officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captionedPipitone v. Electronics For Imaging, Inc., No.2:17-cv-05992 (D.N.J.). A First Amended Complaint was filed on February 20, 2018. The complaint alleges,plaintiffs allege, among other things, that statements by the Company and its officers about the Company’s financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures were false or misleading. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other costs, on behalf of a putative class of individuals and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired EFI securities from February 22, 2017 through August 3, 2017.

At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Because this matter is in the preliminary stages, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred.

Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits

On August 22, 2017, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda captionedSchiffmiller v. Gecht, No. RG17873197. A First Amended Complaint was filed on April 13, 2018. The complaint makes claims derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant against the Company’s named executive officers and directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment, and alleges, among other things, that statements by the Company and its officers about the Company’s financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures were false or misleading. The complaint alleges the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged actions, and seeks an unspecified amount of damages, restitution, and declaratory and other relief. The derivative action has been stayed pending the resolution of thePipitone class action described above.

At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Because this matter has been stayed pending resolution of thePipitone class action described above, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred.

Other Matters

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we were subject to various other claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings in addition to the matter discussed above. There is at least a reasonable possibility that additional losses may be incurred in excess of the amounts that we have accrued. However, we believe that these claims are not material to our financial statements or the range of reasonably possible losses is not reasonably estimable. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and while we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us, our financial statements could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies or because of the diversion of management’s attention and the incurrence of significant expenses.

Note 9. Segment Information and Geographic Data

Operating segment information is required to be presented based on the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision making group (“CODM”) to allocate resources and evaluate operating segment performance. Our CODM is comprised of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The CODM group is focused on assessment and resource allocation among the Industrial Inkjet, Productivity Software, and Fiery operating segments.

Our operating segments are integrated through their reporting and operating structures, shared technology and practices, shared sales and marketing, and combined production facilities. Our enterprise management processes use financial information that is closely aligned with our three operating segments at the gross profit level. Relevant discrete financial information is prepared at the gross profit level for each of our three operating segments, which is used by the CODM to allocate resources and assess the performance of each operating segment.

We classify our revenue, operating segment profit (i.e., gross profit), assets, and liabilities in accordance with our operating segments as follows:

Industrial Inkjet which consists of our VUTEk and Matan super-wide and wide format display graphics, Reggiani textile, Jetrion label and packaging, Nozomi corrugated packaging and display, Reggiani textile, and Cretaprint ceramic tile decoration and constructionbuilding material industrial digital inkjet printers; digital ultra-violet (“UV”) curable, light-emitting diode (“LED”) curable, ceramic, water-based, and thermoforming and specialty ink, as well as a variety of textile ink including dye sublimation, pigmented, reactive dye, acid dye, pure disperse dye, and water-based dispersed printing ink;ink, supplies, and coatings; digital inkjet printer parts; and professional services. Printing surfaces include paper, vinyl, corrugated, textile, glass, plastic, aluminum composite, ceramic tile, wood, and many other flexible and rigid substrates.

Productivity Software which consists of a complete software suite that enables efficient and automatedend-to-end business and production workflows for the print and packaging industry. ThisProductivity Suite also provides tools to enable revenue growth, efficient scheduling, and optimization of processes, equipment, and personnel. Customers are provided the financial and technical flexibility to deploy locally within their business or to be hosted in the cloud. The Productivity Suite addresses all segments of the print industry and consists of the: (i) Packaging Suite, with Radius at its core, for tag & label, cartons, and flexible packaging businesses; (ii) Corrugated Packaging Suite, with CTI at its core, for corrugated packaging businesses;businesses, including corrugated control capability using EFI Escada; (iii) Enterprise Commercial Print Suite, with Monarch at its core, for enterprise print businesses; (iv)Publication Print Suite, with Monarch or Technique at its core, for publication print businesses; (v) Midmarket Print Suite, with Pace at its core, for medium size print businesses; (vi) Quick Print Suite, with PrintSmith Vision and essential capabilities of Digital StoreFront at its core, for small printers andin-plant sites; and (vii) Value Added Products, available with the suite and standalone, such asweb-to-print,e-commerce, cross media marketing, warehousing, fulfillment, shop floor data collection, and shipping to reduce costs, increase profits, and offer new products and services to their existing and future customers. We also market Optitex computer-aided fashion design (“fashion CAD”) software, which facilitates fast fashion and increased efficiency in the textile and fashion industries.

Fiery which consists of DFEs, including the recentlyFiery and FreeFlow Print Server (“FFPS”), which was acquired FFPS DFE from Xerox Corporation (“Xerox”), that transform digital copiers and printers into high performance networked printing devices for the office, industrial,commercial and commercialindustrial printing markets. This operating segment is comprised of (i) stand-alone DFEs connected to digital printers, copiers, and other peripheral devices, (ii) embedded DFEs and design-licensed solutions used in digital copiers and multi-functional devices, (iii) optional software integrated into our DFE solutions such as Fiery Central, Generation Digital, and Graphics Arts Package, (iv) Fiery Self Serve, our self-service and payment solution, and (v) stand-alone software-based solutions such as our proofing, textile, and scanning solutions.

Our CODM evaluates the performance of our operating segments based on net sales and gross profit. Gross profit for each operating segment includes revenue from sales to third parties and related cost of revenue attributable to the operating segment. Cost of revenue for each operating segment excludes certain expenses managed outside the operating segments consisting primarily of stock-based compensation expense.

Operating income is not reported by operating segment because operating expenses include significant shared expenses and other costs that are managed outside of the operating segments. Such operating expenses include various corporate expenses such as stock-based compensation, corporate sales and marketing, research and development, amortization of identified intangibles, variousnon-recurring charges, and other separately managed general and administrative expenses.

The Fiery gross profit percentage is impacted by less than $0.1 and $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, charged to cost of revenue, which reflects the cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin related to the acquired FFPS inventories. Inventory acquired in the acquisition of FFPS is required to be recorded at fair value rather than historical cost in accordance with ASC 805. This amount is not included in the financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM as this acquisition-related charge is not indicative of the gross margin trends in the FFPS business. Excluding this charge, the Fiery gross profit percentage would be 70.3% and 70.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

Geographic Regions

Our revenue originates in the U.S., China, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, France, the U.K., Spain, Israel, Brazil, India, Australia, and New Zealand.Australia. We report revenue by geographic region based onship-to destination. Shipments to some of our significant printer manufacturer/distributor customers are made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations, which in turn sell through to other locations. As a result of these factors, we believe that sales to certain geographic locations might be higher or lower, as the ultimate destinations are difficult to ascertain.

Note 10. Derivatives and Hedging

We are exposed to market risk and foreign currency exchange risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which could affect operating results, financial position, and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are used to hedge monetary assets and liabilities, intercompany balances, trade receivables, anticipated cash flows, and to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in marketforeign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities. We do not have any leveraged derivatives, nor do we use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires the fair value of all derivative instruments, including those embedded in other contracts, to be recorded as assets or liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The related cash flow impacts of our derivative contracts are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.

Our exposures are primarily related tonon-U.S. dollar-denominated revenue in Europe, the U.K., Latin America, China, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada,Australia, and tonon-U.S. dollar-denominated operating expenses in Europe, India, Japan, the U.K., China, Israel, Brazil, and Australia. We hedgeFrom time to time we have hedged our operating expense cash flow exposure in Indian rupees. We hedge balance sheet remeasurement exposure associated with British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Brazilian real, Israeli shekel, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, and Euro-denominated intercompany balances; Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Israeli shekel, and Euro-denominated trade receivables; and British pound sterling, Indian rupee, Israeli shekel, Canadian dollar, and other Euro-denominated net monetary assets.

By their nature, derivative instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange movement is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets, and liabilities being hedged (i.e.,(e.g. operating expense exposure in Indian rupees;expenses; the collection of trade receivables denominated in currencies other than their respective reporting entity’s functional currency, and the settlement of intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than their functional currency). Under our master netting agreements with our foreign currency derivative counterparties, we are allowed to net transactions of the same currency with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. The derivatives held by us are not subject to any credit contingent features negotiated with these counterparties. We are not required to pledge cash collateral related to these foreign currency derivative contracts. We do not believe there is significant risk of loss fromnon-performance by the counterparty associated with these instruments because, by policy, we deal with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.

Cash Flow Hedges

ForeignWe did not have any foreign currency derivative contracts with notional amountsdesignated as a cash flow hedge as of $3.8 million and $3.2 million have beenMarch 31, 2018. Our foreign currency derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges offor our Indian rupee operating expense exposure at September 30, 2017 andwere in the notional amounts of $3.9 million as of December 31, 2016, respectively.2017. The fair value of the net assets (liabilities) related to these cash flow hedges are not material. The changes in fair value of these contracts are reported as a component of OCI and reclassified to operating expense in the periods of payment of the hedged operating expenses. The amount of ineffectiveness that was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for these designated cash flow hedges was immaterial. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Balance Sheet Hedges

Forward contracts not designated for hedge accounting treatment with notional amounts of $188.0$243.5 and $158.7$235.5 million are used to hedge foreign currency balance sheet exposures at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. They are not designated for hedge accounting treatment since there is a natural offset for the remeasurement of the underlying foreign currency denominated asset or liability. We recognize changes in the fair value ofnon-designated derivative instruments in earnings in the period of change. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures are recognized in interest income and other income, net of expenses, in the same period as the remeasurement gain or loss of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. ForwardOur forward contracts not designated for hedge accounting treatment consistconsisted of hedges of Australian dollar, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Israeli shekel, Japanese yen,Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, and Euro-denominated intercompany balances with notional amounts of $99.6 and $90.7 million; hedges of Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Israeli shekel, and Euro-denominated trade receivables with notional amounts of $46.5 and $39.8 million; and hedges of British pounds sterling,Euro, Indian rupee, Israeli shekel Canadian dollar, and Euro-denominated other net monetary assets withJapanese yen.

These balance sheet hedges cover currency exposures in the following line items in the notional amounts of $41.9 and $28.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.indicated (in thousands):

Note 11. Restructuring and Other

During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016,we continue to analyze our cost reduction actions were taken to lower our operating expense run rate as we analyzestructure andre-align our cost structure following our business acquisitions. These charges primarily relate to integrating recently acquired businesses, consolidating facilities, eliminating redundancies, and lowering our operating expense run rate. Restructuring and other consists primarily of restructuring, severance, short-term retention costs, facility downsizing and relocation, and acquisition integration expenses. Our restructuring and other plans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, ASC 712, Compensation –Non-Retirement Postemployment Benefits, and ASC 820.820, Fair Value Measurements, and disclosures.

Restructuring and other costs were $0.8$4.7 and $5.4$0.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.3 and $5.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Restructuring and other costs include severance charges of $0.3$3.0 and $3.8$0.4 million related to reductions in head count of 1555 and 12818 during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.6 and $3.7 million related to reduction in head count of 16 and 114 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Severance costs include severance payments, related employee benefits, outplacement fees, recruiting, and employee relocation costs.

Facilities relocation and downsizing expenses were $0.4$0.5 and $0.6$0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.1 and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily related to the relocation of certain manufacturing and administrative locations due to reduced space requirements. Integration expenses of $0.2$1.1 and $1.0$0.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.6 and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were required to integrate our business acquisitions.

Note 12. Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based payment awards in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all equity awards granted to our employees and directors, including RSUs, ESPP purchase rights, and employee stock options related to all stock-based compensation plans based on the fair value of such awards on the date of grant. We amortize stock-based compensation cost on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period reduced by actual forfeitures, after assessing the probability of achieving the requisite performance criteria with respect to performance-based awards. Stock-based compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards.

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, ESPP purchase rights, and RSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016periods presented below is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options and ESPP Purchase Rights

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model to value stock-based compensation for all equity awards, except market-based awards, which are valued using the Monte Carlo valuation model.

The BSM model determines We value RSUs at the fair value of stock-based payment awards based on the stockmarket price on the date of grant and is affected by assumptions regarding highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, expected term, interest rates, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behavior. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of the option. The expected term is based upon management’s consideration of the historical life, vesting period, and contractual period of the options granted. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to do so in the future.

Stock options were not granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016.2017. The estimated weighted average fair value per share of ESPP purchase rights issued and the underlying weighted average assumptions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016periods presented below are as follows:

Vested RSUs

Performance-based RSUs that vested based on financial results are included in “Vested RSUs” in the table above in the period that the performance and related service criteria were met. The grant date fair value of RSUs vested during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $29.6$1.5 million. The aggregate intrinsic value at September 30, 2017 forof RSUs vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2018 was $34.1$38.3 million and the remaining weighted average vesting period was 1.0 year.1.22 years. Aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs vested and expected to vest represents the closing price per share of our common stock on the last trading day of the fiscal period, multiplied by the number of RSUs vested and expected to vest as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. RSUs expected to vest represent time-based RSUs unvested and outstanding at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and performance-based RSUs for which the requisite service period has not been rendered, but are expected to vest based on the achievement of performance conditions. Performance-based RSUs that vested based on annual financial results are expensed in the period that the performance and related service criteria were met.

Valuation Assumptions for Performance-based and Market-based RSUs and Stock Options

Performance-based stock options, market-based RSUs, and market-based stock options were not granted during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.March 31, 2018. We use the BSM option pricing model to value performance-based RSUs. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of performance-based RSUs granted and the assumptions used to estimate grant date fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016periods presented below are as follows:

Our performance-based RSUs generally vest when specified performance criteria are met based on bookings, revenue, cash provided by operating activities,non-GAAP operating income,non-GAAP earnings per share, revenue growth compared to market comparables,non-GAAP earnings per share growth compared to cash flow from operating activities growth, or other targets during the service period; otherwise, they are forfeited.Non-GAAP operating income is defined as operating income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to remove the impact of certain expenses and gains.as defined in UnauditedNon-GAAP Financial Information.Non-GAAP earnings per share is defined as net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to remove the impact of certain expenses, and gains, and the related tax effects, divided by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period as more fully defined in Note 2 – Earnings Per Share of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Share.

The grant date fair value per share determined in accordance with the BSM valuation model is being amortized over the service period of the performance-based awards. The probability of achieving the awards was determined based on review of the actual results achieved thus far by each business unit compared with the operating plan during the pertinent service period as well as the overall strength of the business unit. Stock-based compensation expense was adjusted based on this probability assessment. As actual results are achieved during the service period, the probability assessment is updated and stock-based compensation expense adjusted accordingly.

Market-based awards that were granted in prior periods vest when our average closing stock price exceeds defined multiples of the closing stock price for 90 consecutive trading days. If these multiples were not achieved by the expiration date, the awards are forfeited. The grant date fair value is being amortized over the average derived service period of the awards. The average derived service period and total fair value were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on our assumptions, which include a risk-free interest rate and implied volatility.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

Our stockholders approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”) on June 7, 2017, which includes:

1.2 million shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to such plan;

1,593,660 common stock shares that were available for future grants under the 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan (“Prior Plan”) immediately prior to termination of authority to grant new awards under the Prior Plan on June 7, 2017;

shares subject to stock options granted under the Prior Plan and outstanding as of June 7, 2017, which expire, or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, after that date without being exercised; and

shares subject to restricted stock unit awards granted under the Prior Plan that are outstanding and unvested as of June 7, 2017 which are forfeited, terminated, cancelled, or otherwise reacquired after that date without having become vested.

No additional grants will be made under the Prior Plan. The 2017 Plan replaces the Prior Plan and will be used to help attract, retain and motivate employees, consultants, and directors.

Note 13. Common Stock Repurchase Programs

On November 9, 2015, the board of directors approved the repurchase of $150 million of outstanding common stock commencing January 1, 2016. On September 11, 2017, the board of directors approved the repurchase of an additional $125 million for our share repurchase program commencing September 11, 2017. At that time, $28.8 million remained available for repurchase under the 2015 authorization. The 2017 authorization thereby increased the repurchase authorization to $153.8 million of our common stock. This authorization expires December 31, 2018. Under this publicly announced plan, we repurchased 0.30.6 and 1.00.4 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $12.5$17.4 and $47.0$17.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We repurchased 0.4 and 1.4As of March 31, 2018, $92.0 million sharesremained available for an aggregate purchase price of $18.0 and $57.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.repurchase under this authorization.

Our employees have the option to surrender shares of common stock to satisfy their tax withholding obligations that arise on the vesting of RSUs. In connection with stock option exercises, certain employees can surrender shares to satisfy the exercise price of certain stock options and any tax withholding obligations incurred in connection with such exercises. Employees surrendered less than 0.1 million and 0.20.1 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3.1$0.2 and $10.0$5.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and less than 0.1 and 0.2 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $3.4 and $7.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

These repurchased shares reduce shares outstanding and are recorded as treasury stock under the cost method thereby reducing stockholders’ equity by the cost of the repurchased shares. Our repurchase program is limited by SEC regulations and is subject to compliance with our insider trading policy.

Note 14. Accounts Receivable

Financing Receivables

ASC 310, Receivables, requires disclosure regarding the credit quality of our financing receivables and allowance for credit losses including disclosure of credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of our financing receivables. Our financing receivables of $30.7$38.0 and $31.0$28.7 million consistedconsisting of $17.6$23.7 and $17.8$16.6 million of sales-type lease receivables, included within other current assets and other assets at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, and $13.1$14.2 and $13.2$12.1 million of trade receivables having an original contractual maturity in excess of one year, included within accounts receivable, net of allowance, at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. The trade receivables of $13.1$14.2 and $13.2$12.1 million having an original total contractual maturity in excess of one year at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, include $5.7$4.9 and $7.1$4.4 million, respectively, which are scheduled to be received in less than one year. The credit quality of financing receivables is evaluated on the same basis as trade receivables. We do not have material past due financing receivables.

Accounts Receivable Sales Arrangements

In accordance with ASC860-20, Transfers and Servicing, trade receivables are derecognized from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet when sold to third parties upon determining that such receivables are presumptively beyond the reach of creditors in a bankruptcy proceeding. Any recourse obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and the servicing liability is determined based on the fair value that a third party would charge to service these receivables. These liabilities were determined to not be material at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017.

We have facilities in the U.S. and Italy that enable us to sell to third parties, on an ongoing basis, certain trade receivables with recourse. Trade receivables sold with recourse are generally short-term receivables with payment due dates of less than 10 days from the date of sale, which are subject to a servicing obligation. Trade receivables sold under these facilities were $5.9$3.2 and $15.3$21.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2018, and $19.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, which approximates the cash received.

We have facilities in Spain and Italy that enable us to sell to third parties, on an ongoing basis, certain trade receivables without recourse. Trade receivables sold without recourse are generally short-term receivables with payment due dates of less than one year, which are secured by international letters of credit. Trade receivables sold under these facilities were $2.1$1.3 and $3.1$5.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2018, and $3.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, which approximates the cash received.

We report collections from the sale of trade receivables to third parties as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

Acquisition of Escada

On October 1, 2017, we acquired privately held Escada Innovations Limited, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales which is headquartered in Hull, East Yorkshire, United Kingdom, and Escada Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Decatur, Georgia (collectively, “Escada”), for approximately $11.3 million in cash consideration, plus a potential future cash earnout of $4.8 million contingent on achieving certain performance targets. This acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase business combination and, accordingly, the total purchase price will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values on October 1, 2017.

Escada provides corrugator control systems for the corrugated packaging market, which provides comprehensive control and traceability for the entire corrugation process. Escada will be integrated into the Productivity Software operating segment.

XeikonLicense Agreement

On November 1, 2017 (“Effective Date”), we entered into a Support Services and License Agreement (“Agreement”)an agreement with Xeikon N.V. (“Xeikon”)(the Agreement), which is a division of the Flint Group headquartered in Luxembourg.Luxembourg to license the rights to the manufacturing, technology, marketing, and support of the Jetrion business. Pursuant to the Agreement, we will provideprovided Xeikon access to the Jetrion customer list. Access to the customer list will enableand enabled Xeikon to assume the relationship with the third-party outsourcing company that manufacturesmanufactured Jetrion printers for us and resell the printers to our current customer base. Xeikon will purchase JetrionUV label ink exclusively from us and resell to both our current customer base as well as new Xeikon inkjet customers. Also,Per the terms of the Agreement, we willagreed to cease sales of Jetrion products for four years after the Effective Date. We will receivereceived cash consideration of $2$2.0 million in the first year followed by threeduring 2017, and will receive annual volume-based royalty payments that are tied tobased on Xeikon’s ink purchases from us.us through October 31, 2021.

Volume-based royalty payments from Xeikon’s ink purchases are recognized as revenue ratably over four years. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized $0.1 million of revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes there have been no significant changes during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on2017 Form10-K, as amended in Amendment No. 2, for the year ended December 31, 2016, with the exception of the following:

Bill and Hold TransactionsRevenue Recognition

We recognizeEffective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 and ASC340-40 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption, we use significant judgments in applying the new revenue relatedstandards as further outlined in Notes 1 and 4 to certain industrial inkjet printer sales under bill and hold arrangements. For any bill and hold arrangement, judgment is required to evaluate whether the sale qualifies for revenue recognition in accordance with the following criteria and factors requiring consideration:Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The customer requests that the transaction be on a bill and hold basis and has a substantial business purpose for the arrangement. Such business purpose is related to customer site readiness.

The scheduled delivery date must be reasonable and consistent with the customer’s business purpose (e.g., customary in the industry).

The customer has made a fixed commitment to purchase the printer in written documentation.

The printer is segregated from our inventory and is not available to fill any other customer orders.

The risk of ownership has passed to the customer.

The customer has the risk of loss in the event of loss, destruction, or a decline in the market value of goods.

The printer is complete and ready for shipment.

The date is determined by which we expect payment and we have not modified our normal billing and credit terms for the customer.

Evaluation of our past experience with bill and hold transactions.

We have not retained any specific performance obligations indicating the earnings process is not complete.

Whether our custodial risks are insurable and insured.

Extended procedures are not necessary to assure that there are no exceptions to the customer’s commitment to accept and pay for the printer.

Key financial results during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 were as follows:

Our results of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflect increased revenue for the three months and comparable revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, comparable gross profit as a percentage of revenue, and increased operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. We completed our acquisitions of GD, CRC, and FFPS in 2017, and of Rialco and Optitex in 2016. Their results are included in our results of operations commencing on their respective acquisition dates. Acquisition-related transaction costs were $1.8 and $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to all acquisitions.

 

Our consolidated revenue increased by 1%,$11.2 million, or $2.8 million5%, during the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared withto the same period in the prior year. The increase was driven by an $18.9 million increase in Industrial Inkjet revenue and an $8.7 million increase in Productivity Software revenue, partially offset by a $16.5 million decrease in Fiery revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Fiery revenue increased by $5.4 million, which was partially offset by decreased Productivity Software revenue of $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Our consolidated revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was comparable to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Industrial Inkjet and Fiery revenue decreased by $1.0 and $3.0 million, respectively, while Productivity Software revenue increased by $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, asMarch 31, 2018, compared with the same period in the prior year.

 

Recurring ink and maintenance revenue increasedGross profit decreased by 5% and 8% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared with the same periods in the prior year, and represented 34% of consolidated revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Our gross profit percentage was comparable at 51% during the three months and increased to 52% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from 51% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The gross profit percentage$4.4 million or 4% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 reflected a two percentage point increase inMarch 31, 2018, compared to the Industrial Inkjet operating segment, partially offset by a four and two percentage point decrease in the Productivity Software and Fiery operating segment gross profit percentages, respectively. The increase in the grosssame period last year. Gross profit percentage declined to 49.7% from 54.0% during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, wasrespectively. These reductions were primarily due to a three percentage point increase in the Industrial Inkjet operating segment gross profit percentage. The improvedreduced contribution of Fiery to our overall revenue, and reduced Industrial Inkjet gross profit percentage duringmargins attributable to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due to improvements in manufacturing efficiency, reduced warranty costs due to improved printer quality, and higher margin ink revenue representing an increased percentageramp-up of product mix.production on new products.

 

Operating expenses increased by $4.3$5.8 million to $120.1 million and by $14.2 million to $354.7 millionor 5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from $115.8 and $340.6 million duringMarch 31, 2018 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.same period last year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to head count increases related to our business acquisitions, FFPS sustaining engineering, prototypein restructuring andnon-recurring engineering other expenses related to future product launches,of $3.7 million, sales and marketing expenses of $3.6 million and amortization of intangible assets and legal and accounting revenue recognition review and assessment,of $1.4 million, partially offset by decreased changedecreases in the fair valuegeneral and administrative expenses of contingent consideration, trade show$1.6 million and marketing, stock-based compensation,research and restructuring and other expenses.

Interest expense increased by $0.4 anddevelopment expenses of $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, primarily due to interest accretion related to the FFPS purchase liability, the Reggianinon-compete agreement liability, and our Notes.million.

 

Interest expense and interest income and other income, net increased to $1.8 and $2.8of expenses decreased by $0.7 million duringon a combined basis in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2018 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to foreign currency gains of $0.3 million and imputed interest income of $0.2 million recognized on revenue contracts following the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance.

Benefit from $0.9 andincome taxes increased by $1.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2018, compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased investment income and decreased foreign currency exchange losses.

We recognized tax provisions of $0.8 million onlowerpre-tax net income of $4.2 and $11.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to tax benefits of $11.8 and $9.0 million onpre-tax net income of $5.8 and $16.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in the income tax provisions are primarily due to decreased tax benefits from a significantly lower reversal of uncertain tax positions in 2017 as compared to the amounts reversed in 2016.(loss).

Revenue

We classify our revenue, gross profit, assets, and liabilities in accordance with our three operating segments, as follows:

described in Note 9 – Segment Information and Geographic Data in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; Industrial Inkjet,” which consists of our VUTEk Productivity Software, and Matan super-wide and wide format display graphics, Reggiani textile, Jetrion label and packaging, Nozomi corrugated packaging, and Cretaprint ceramic tile decoration and construction material industrial digital inkjet printers; digital UV curable, LED curable, ceramic, water-based, and thermoforming ink, as well as a variety of textile ink including dye sublimation, pigmented, reactive dye, acid dye, pure disperse dye, and water-based dispersed printing ink; digital inkjet printer parts; and professional services. Printing surfaces include paper, vinyl, corrugated, textile, glass, plastic, aluminum composite, ceramic tile, wood, and many other flexible and rigid substrates.Fiery.

“Productivity Software,” which consists of a complete software suite that enables efficient and automatedend-to-end business and production workflows for the print and packaging industry. ThisProductivity Suite also provides tools to enable revenue growth, efficient scheduling, and optimization of processes, equipment, and personnel. Customers are provided the financial and technical flexibility to deploy locally within their business or to be hosted in the cloud. The Productivity Suite addresses all segments of the print industry and consists of the: (i) Packaging Suite, with Radius at its core, for tag & label, cartons, and flexible packaging businesses; (ii) Corrugated Packaging Suite, with CTI at its core, for corrugated packaging businesses; (iii) Enterprise Commercial Print Suite, with Monarch at its core, for enterprise print businesses; (iv) Publication Print Suite, with Monarch or Technique at its core, for publication print businesses; (v) Midmarket Print Suite, with Pace at its core, for medium size print businesses; (vi) Quick Print Suite, with PrintSmith at its core, for small printers andin-plant sites; and (vii) Value Added Products, available with the suite and standalone, such asweb-to-print,e-commerce, cross media marketing, warehousing, fulfillment, shop floor data collection, and shipping to reduce costs, increase profits, and offer new products and services to their existing and future customers. We also market Optitex fashion CAD software, which facilitates fast fashion and increased efficiency in the textile and fashion industries.

“Fiery,” which consists of DFEs, including the recently acquired FFPS DFE from Xerox, that transform digital copiers and printers into high performance networked printing devices for the office, industrial, and commercial printing markets. This operating segment is comprised of (i) stand-alone DFEs connected to digital printers, copiers, and other peripheral devices, (ii) embedded DFEs and design-licensed solutions used in digital copiers and multi-functional devices, (iii) optional software integrated into our DFE solutions such as Fiery Central, Generation Digital, and Graphics Arts Package, (iv) Fiery Self Serve, our self-service and payment solution, and (v) stand-alone software-based solutions such as our proofing solutions.

Ex-Currency. To better understand trends in our business, we believe it is helpful to adjust our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to exclude the impact of year-over-year changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. This is anon-GAAP measure that is calculated by adjusting revenue, gross profit, and operating expenses by using historical exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior period and removing the balance sheet currency remeasurement impact from interest income and other income, net of expenses, including removal of any hedging gains and losses. We refer to these adjustments as“ex-currency.” The year-over-year currency impact can be determined as the difference between year-over-year actual growth rates and year-over-yearex-currency growth rates.

Management believes theex-currency measures provide investors with an additional perspective on year-over-year financial trends and enables investors to analyze our operating results in the same way management does. A reconciliation of theex-currency adjustments to GAAP results for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 and an explanation of how management usesnon-GAAP financial information to evaluate its business, the substance behind management’s decision to use thisnon-GAAP financial information, the material limitations associated with the use ofnon-GAAP financial information, the manner in which management compensates for those limitations, and the substantive reasons management believes that thisnon-GAAP financial information provides useful information to investors is included under“Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

In addition, adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance increased reported revenue by $1.5 million in the current quarter, primarily in the Productivity Software revenue.segment, compared to the previous revenue recognition guidance.

Industrial Inkjet

Industrial Inkjet revenue decreasedincreased by less than 1% (2%$18.9 million, or 15% (8%ex-currency), during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2016.same period in 2017. Industrial Inkjet revenue decreasedincreased primarily due to:

 

decreasedRevenue from our Nozomi single-pass industrial digital inkjet printer revenue due to reduced demand, partially offset byplatform launched in the third quarter of 2017,

 

increased ink and supplies revenue due to the increase in our installed printer base and the high utilization that our industrial digital inkjet printers are experiencing in the field, and

 

increased revenue from partsparts.

The Nozomi single-pass industrial digital inkjet platform was launched in the third quarter of 2017, for the corrugated, paper packaging, display printing, and service.other related markets. We have invested significantly in the research and development, sales and marketing, and manufacturing processes required to successfully launch this product. While we have sold a limited number of printers, we are unable to predict the actual level of demand for this product because Nozomi is a new product. If this product is not successful in the market, then our consolidated financial position and results of operations could be materially impacted.

Productivity Software

Productivity Software revenue decreasedincreased by 6% (7%$8.7 million, or 25% (21%ex-currency), during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2016same period in 2017. Productivity software revenue increased primarily due to decreasedto:

increased license revenue, partially offset by post-acquisition CRC revenue,

sales from Escada, which waswe acquired in Maythe fourth quarter of 2017, and

increased maintenance revenue, and

the impact from adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance which was partially dueincreased revenue in the first quarter of 2018, compared to annual price increases related to our maintenance contracts.the previous revenue recognition guidance.

Although end customer and reseller preference for Fiery products drives demand, most Fiery revenue relies on printer manufacturers to design, develop, and integrate Fiery technology into their print engines. The leading printer manufacturers increased demand during the quarter as they increased their inventory levels. Also contributing to the increase was post-acquisition FFPS revenue, which was acquired in January 2017, and a small amount of post-acquisition GD revenue, which was acquired in August 2017.

Overview

Our consolidated revenue decreased by less than 1% (zero percentex-currency), or $1.3 million, to $724.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $725.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to decreased Industrial Inkjet and Fiery revenue, partially offset by increased Productivity Software revenue.

Industrial Inkjet

Industrial Inkjet revenue decreased by less than 1% (zero percentex-currency) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Industrial Inkjet revenue decreased primarily due to:

decreased digital inkjet printer revenue due toexperienced reduced demand and

printer revenue, which would have been higher by $3.4 million when consideringout-of-period adjustments related to certain bill and hold transactions, which were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, partially offset by

a full nine months of post-acquisition Rialco ink products revenue, which closed in March 2016,

increased ink revenue due to the increase in our installed printer base and the high utilization that our industrial digital inkjet printers are experiencing in the field, and

increased revenue from parts and service.

Productivity Software

Productivity Software revenue increased by 3% (also 3%ex-currency) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to post-acquisition Optitex revenue, which was acquired in June 2016, post-acquisition CRC revenue, which was acquired in May 2017, increased service revenue, and annual price increases related to our maintenance contracts, partially offset by decreased license revenue.

Fiery

Fiery revenue decreased by 1% (also 1%ex-currency) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Although end customer and reseller preference for Fiery products drives demand, most Fiery revenue relies on printer manufacturers to design, develop,controllers and integrate Fiery technology into their print engines. The leading printer manufacturers tightly managed their inventory levels in the first half of 2017, which decreased demand,software options, which was partially offset by increased inventory levels and increased demand during the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease was partially offset by post-acquisition FFPSan increase in revenue which was acquired in January 2017, and a small amount of GD revenue, which was acquired in August 2017.from parts.

Revenue by Geographic Area during the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Shipments to some of our significant printer manufacturer customers are made to centralized purchasing and manufacturing locations, which in turn ship to other locations, making it difficult to obtain completely accurate geographical shipment data. Accordingly, we believe that export sales of our products into each region may differ from what is reported.

Overview

Our consolidated revenue decreased by less than 1% (zero percentex-currency), or $1.3 million, to $724.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $725.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to decreased Americas and APAC revenue, partially offset by increased EMEA revenue.

Americas

Americas revenue decreased by $10.6 million, or 3% (also 3%ex-currency), during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to decreased industrial digital inkjet printer revenue due to reduced demand in anticipation of future product launches, decreased Fiery revenue, and that industrial digital inkjet revenue would have been higher by $3.4 million when consideringout-of-period adjustments related to certain bill and hold transactions, partially offset by increased ink and Productivity Software revenue. Increased Productivity Software revenue resulted primarily from our acquisition of Optitex in June 2016, and our acquisition of CRC in May 2017, partially offset by decreased license revenue.

EMEA

EMEA revenue increased by $10.2 million, or 4% (5%ex-currency), during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to increased industrial digital inkjet printer, post-acquisition Optitex, and Fiery revenue, partially offset by decreased license revenue.

APAC

APAC revenue decreased by $0.8 million, or 1% (also 1%ex-currency), during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to decreased industrial digital inkjet printer revenue, partially offset by post-acquisition Optitex revenue and Fiery revenue.

Revenue Concentration

A substantial portion of our revenue over the years has been attributable to sales of products through the leading printer manufacturers and independent distributor channels. We have a direct relationship with several leading printer manufacturers and work closely to design, develop, and integrate Fiery technology into their print engines. The printer manufacturers act as distributors and sell our DFE products to end customers through reseller channels. End customer and reseller channel preference for our DFE and software solutions drive demand for Fiery products through the printer manufacturers.

Although end customer and reseller channel preference for Fiery products drives demand, most Fiery revenue relies on printer manufacturers to design, develop, and integrate Fiery technology into their print engines. A significant portion of our revenue is, and has been, generated by sales of our Fiery DFE products to a relatively small number of leading printer manufacturers. During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, Xerox provided 11%less than 10% and 10% of our consolidated revenue, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we did not have any customers contributing more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. We expect that if we continue to increase our revenue in the Industrial Inkjet and Productivity Software operating segments in the future, the percentage of our revenue from the leading printer manufacturer customers will decrease.

The Fiery gross profit percentage is impacted by less than $0.1 and $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, charged to cost of revenue, which reflects the cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin related to the acquired FFPs inventories. Inventory acquired in the acquisition of FFPS was required to be recorded at fair value rather than historical cost in accordance with ASC 805. This amount is not included in the financial information regularly reviewed by management as this acquisition-related charge is not indicative of the gross margin trends in the FFPS business. Excluding this charge, the Fiery gross profit percentage would be 70.3% and 70.8% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

Our gross profit percentage was comparable at 51% during the three months and increaseddecreased to 52% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from 51% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The gross profit percentage49.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2017 reflected a twoMarch 31, 2018 from 54.0% during the same period in 2017. The decreased gross profit percentage point improvementwas primarily due to the greater proportion of Industrial Inkjet revenues than Productivity Software and Fiery revenues in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the prior year period. The Productivity Software and Fiery segments produce higher average gross profit percentages than our Industrial Inkjet segment. In addition, as more fully explained below, the gross profit percentage in the Industrial Inkjet operating segment partially offsetwas lower in the three months ended March 31, 2018 than in the comparable prior year period. The impact from adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance increased reported gross profit by a four and two percentage point decrease$1.5 million in the current quarter, primarily in the Productivity Software and Fiery operating segment, gross profit percentages, respectively. The increase incompared to the gross profit percentage during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to a three percentage point increase in the Industrial Inkjet operating segment gross profit percentage. Excluding FFPS acquisition-related inventory fair value adjustments of less than $0.1 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, our gross profit percentage remains at 51% and 52% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.previous revenue recognition guidance.

Gross profit percentages improved infor industrial digital inkjet printers decreased due to a higher proportion of corrugated printer sales, which are currently at a relatively lower gross profit percentage due to the ramping up of production and sales of our new Nozomi single-pass industrial digital inkjet platform. Partially offsetting the impact of lower printer gross profit percentages were higher gross profit percentages for ink and supplies, and parts and service.service revenues. The impact from adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance decreased gross profit in the first quarter of 2018, compared to the previous revenue recognition guidance.

Productivity Software Gross Profit

The Productivity Software gross profit percentages decreased to 71.7% and 73.2% (71.7% and 73.0%71.8% (72.2%ex-currency) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, from 75.7% and 74.6%73.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease wassame period in 2017, primarily due to decreased licensechanges in product mix. Lower gross profit on software service revenue and increased product maintenance costs,was partially offset by price increasesincreased gross profit on annual maintenance renewal contracts.license and subscription revenue, and hardware revenues. In addition, the impact from adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance increased gross profit in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the previous revenue recognition guidance.

Fiery Gross Profit

The Fiery gross profit percentage decreasedincreased to 70.2%71.9% (also 70.2%71.9%ex-currency) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 72.1% and 71.2%March 31, 2018 compared to 70.6% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to head count increases related to our business acquisitions, prototypehigher sales andnon-recurring engineering marketing expenses, related to future product launchesincreased restructuring and FFPS sustaining engineering,other costs, and increased amortization of intangible assets,identified intangibles from recent acquisitions. Partially offsetting these increases were lower research and legaldevelopment and accounting fees related to the revenue recognition reviewgeneral and assessment, partially offset by decreased stock-based compensation expense, change in the fair value of contingent consideration, and restructuring and otheradministrative expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include personnel, consulting, travel, research and development facilities, prototype materials, testing and development equipment, andnon-recurring engineering expenses.

Research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 were $39.6$38.3 million, or 16%16.0% of revenue, compared to $36.9$39.6 million, or 15%17.3% of revenue, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, which is an increasesame period in 2017. The decrease of $2.7$1.3 million, or 7%3% (6%ex-currency)., Personnel-related expenses decreased by $0.3reflects a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million primarily due to reduced head count. Prototypes andnon-recurring engineering, consulting, contractors, supplies, freight,the timing of new grants and related travel expenses increased by $2.0 million related to future product launches and FFPS sustaining engineering. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to decreased RSU grants andreduced vesting probabilities of certain performance based awards, partially offset by increased ESPP participation by employeesexpense due to a price reset compared to the prior year. Facilities expenses related to our research and development activities increased by $1.3 million.

Research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $118.2 million, or 16% of revenue, compared to $111.7 million, or 15% of revenue, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which is an increase of $6.5 million, or 6% (5%ex-currency). Personnel-related expenses decreased by $0.7 million primarily due to reduced head count. Prototypes andnon-recurring engineering, consulting, contractors, supplies, freight, and related travel expenses increased by $5.7 million related to future product launches and FFPS sustaining engineering. Stock-based compensation expense increased by $0.6 million primarily due to increased ESPP participation by employees compared to the prior year, partially offset by decreased RSU grants and vesting probabilities of certain performance based awards. Facilities expenses related to our research and development activities increased by $0.9 million.

We expect that if the U.S. dollar remains volatile against the Indian rupee, Euro, British pound sterling, Israeli shekel, Canadian dollar or Brazilian real, research and development expenses reported in U.S. dollars could fluctuate, although we occasionally hedge our operating expense exposure to the Indian rupee, which partially mitigates this risk.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses include personnel, trade shows, marketing programs and promotional materials, sales commissions, travel and entertainment, depreciation, and worldwide sales office expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 were $42.3$46.7 million, or 17%19.5% of revenue, compared to $43.1$43.0 million, or 17%18.8% of revenue, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, which is a decreasesame period in 2017, representing an increase of $0.8$3.6 million, or 2%8% (3%ex-currency). Personnel-related expenses increased by $1.2$3.2 million primarily due to increased head count related to our expanded sales efforts around new products, as well as our recent business acquisitions. Trade show and marketing program spending, including consulting and contractor, travel, and freight, decreasedincreased by $1.1$0.9 million. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $1.2$0.5 million primarily due to decreased RSUtiming of new grants and reduced vesting probabilities of certain performance based awards, partially offset by increased ESPP participation by employeesexpense due to a price reset compared to the prior year. Facilities and information technology expenses related to our sales and marketing activities increased by $0.3 million.

Sales and marketing expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $129.0 million, or 18% of revenue, compared to $127.4 million, or 18% of revenue, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which is an increase of $1.7 million, or 1% (2%ex-currency). Personnel-related expenses increased by $3.7 million primarily due to increased head count related to our business acquisitions. Trade show and marketing program spending, including consulting, contractor, travel, and freight, decreased by $2.2 million as the prior year included Drupa trade show costs. Drupa is an international printing trade show that is held every four years. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $1.0 million primarily due to decreased RSU grants and vesting probabilities of certain performance based awards, partially offset by increased ESPP participation by employees compared to the prior year. Facilities and information technology expenses related to our sales and marketing activities increased by $1.2 million.

Over time, our sales and marketing expenses may increase in absolute terms if revenue increases in future periods, as we continue to actively promote our products and introduce new services and products. We expect that if the U.S. dollar remains volatile against the Euro, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Israeli shekel, Australian dollar,Chinese renminbi, and other currencies, sales and marketing expenses reported in U.S. dollars could fluctuate.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of human resources, legal, bad debts, litigation, and finance expenses.expenses, as well as changes in the fair value of earnout liabilities.

General and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 were $25.1$19.4 million, or 10%8.1% of revenue, compared to $24.1$21.0 million, or 10%9.2% of revenue, during the same period in 2017, which is a decrease of $1.6 million, or 8% (11%ex-currency). The change in fair value of earnout liabilities decreased by $2.5 million. In the three months ended September 30, 2016, which isMarch 31, 2018, reductions in the estimated earnout liabilities for Generation Digital and Shuttleworth totaling $1.5 million were partially offset by accretion of $0.2 million across all earnout liabilities. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized an increase in the Optitex earnout performance probability and $0.4 million of $1.0earnout interest accretion related to all acquisitions. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $1.7 million or 4% (3%ex-currency). Personnel-relatedprimarily due to timing of new grants and reduced vesting probabilities of certain performance based awards, partially offset by increased ESPP expense due to a price reset compared to the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by increased personnel-related expenses increased by $0.9of $1.5 million primarily due to head count increases related to our business acquisitions. Reserves for litigationacquisitions and doubtful accountshigher travel expenses, and increased by $0.8 million. Legal and accountingprofessional fees related to the revenue recognition review and assessment were $4.7 million. Other legal fees increased by $0.5 million. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $2.2 million primarily due to decreased RSU grants and vesting probabilities of certain performance based awards.

The fair value of contingent consideration increased by $0.4 million, including earnout interest accretion related to all acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Optitex earnout performance probability increased while the Shuttleworth earnout performance probability decreased during 2017. The estimated probability of achieving the Optitex, Reggiani, DirectSmile, and CTI earnout performance targets increased during the three months ended September 30, 2016, which resulted in an increase in the associated liability and a charge to general and administrative expense of $4.3 million, including accretion of interest related to all acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $67.2 million, or 9% of revenue, compared to $66.4 million, or 9% of revenue, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which is an increase of $0.9 million, or 1% (also 1%ex-currency). Personnel-related expenses increased by $2.1 million primarily due to head count increases related to our business acquisitions. Professional services fees increased by $0.7 million. Reserves for litigation and doubtful accounts increased by $0.6 million. Legal and accounting fees related to the revenue recognition review and assessment were $4.7 million. Other legal fees increased by $0.4 million. Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $4.1 million primarily due to decreased RSU grants and vesting probabilities of certain performance based awards. Facilities and information technology expenses related to general and administrative activities increased by $0.6 million.

The fair value of contingent consideration increased by $2.2 million, including earnout interest accretion related to all acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Optitex and CTI earnout performance probabilities increased while the Shuttleworth earnout performance probability decreased during 2017. The estimated probability of achieving the Optitex, Reggiani, DirectSmile, and CTI earnout performance targets increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, partially offset by a reduced probability of achieving the DIMS earnout performance target, resulting in an increase in the associated liability and a charge to general and administrative expense of $6.3 million, including accretion of interest related to all acquisitions.

We expect that if the U.S. dollar remains volatile against the Euro, British pound sterling, Indian rupee, Israeli shekel, Brazilian real, or other currencies, general and administrative expenses reported in U.S. dollars could fluctuate.

Stock-based Compensation

We account foramortize stock-based payment awards in accordance with ASC 718, which requires stock-based compensation expense to be recognized based on the fair value of such awards on the date of grant. We amortize compensation cost on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period, after assessing the probability of achieving requisite performance criteria with respect to performance-based and market-based awards. Stock-based compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards. This results in greater stock-based compensation expense during the initial years of the vesting period.

Stock-based compensation expenses were $4.6$6.8 and $8.6$10.3 million during the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively, a decrease of $4.0 million. Stock-based compensation expenses were $22.5 and $26.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, a decrease of $4.4$3.5 million. Stock-based compensation expense decreased primarily due to decreased RSUtiming of new grants and reduced vesting probabilities of certain performance based awards, partially offset by increased ESPP expense resulting from higher employee participationexpenses due to a price reset compared to the prior year. There were no RSU grants during the three months ended September 30, 2017, and reduced grants compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Restructuring and Other

Restructuring and other costs were $0.8$4.7 and $5.4$0.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.3 and $5.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Restructuring and other costs include severance charges of $0.3$3.0 and $3.8$0.4 million related to reductions in head count of 1555 and 12818 during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.6 and $3.7 million related to reduction in head count of 16 and 114 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Severance costs include severance payments, related employee benefits, outplacement fees, recruiting, and employee relocation costs.

Facilities relocation and downsizing expenses were $0.4$0.5 and $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.1 and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, primarily related to the relocation of certain manufacturing and administrative locations due to reducedaccommodate decreased space requirements.requirements in 2018 and 2017. Integration expenses of $0.2$1.1 and $1.0$0.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $0.6 and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were required to integrate our business acquisitions.

Amortization of Identified Intangibles

Amortization of identified intangibles during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $12.3$12.1 million, or 5%5.1% of revenue, compared to $10.4$10.8 million, or 4%4.7% of revenue, during the three months ended September 30, 2016,same period in 2017, an increase of $1.9$1.4 million, or 18%. Amortization of identified intangibles during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $34.8 million, or 5% of revenue, compared to $29.4 million, or 4% of revenue, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $5.5 million, or 19%13%. Intangible amortization increased primarily due to amortization of identified intangibles resulting from the GC, CRC,Escada, Generation Digital, and FFPS acquisitions, partially offset by decreased amortization due to certain intangible assets from prior year acquisitions becoming fully amortized.

Interest Expense

Interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $4.9 and $14.5$5.0 million respectively, compared to $4.5 and $13.2$4.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,same period in 2017, an increase of $0.4 and $1.3$0.3 million primarily due to interest accretion related to the FFPS purchase liability the Reggianinon-compete agreement liability, and our Notes.

Interest Income and Other Income, Net of Expenses

Interest income and other income, net of expenses, includes interest income on our cash equivalents and short-term investments, gains and losses from sales of our cash equivalents and short-term investments, imputed interest on contracts with a significant financing component, and net foreign currency exchange gains and losses.

Interest income and other income, net, increased to $1.8 and $2.8$1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2018, from $0.9 and $1.1$0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,same period in 2017, primarily due to increased investment income resulting from increased market interest rates and decreasedincreased foreign currency exchange losses.gains.

The effective tax provisionsrate has increased from first quarter of $0.8 million on pretax net income of $4.2 and $11.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We recognized tax benefits of $11.8 and $9.0 million on pretax net income of $5.8 and $16.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The provisions for income taxes before discrete items reflected in the table below were $1.9 and $4.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $3.3 and $6.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease in the provisions for income taxes before discrete items during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared with2018 to the same periodsperiod in the prior year, is2017, primarily due to decreased profitability before income taxes.

Primary differences between our provision for income taxes before discrete items and the income tax provision at the U.S. statutory rate of 35% include lower taxes onbenefits related to both permanently reinvested foreign earnings and stock based compensation.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S enacted the 2017 Tax Act, which will have wide ranging impacts including, but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, imposing aone-time deemed repatriation transition tax and the revaluation of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. The 2017 Tax Act also created a minimum tax on certain foreign earnings, also known as the GILTI provision, commencing in the year ending December 31, 2018. The SEC issued SAB 118 which allows us to record a provisional estimate of the income tax effects of stock-based compensation expense pursuant to ASC718-740, Stock Compensation – Income Taxes,the 2017 Tax Act in the period in which arenon-deductiblewe can make a reasonable estimate of its effects. We have recorded an additional provision of $1.2 million for state deemed repatriation transition tax purposes, and tax benefits from significantly lower reversal of uncertain tax positions in 2017 as compared to those recorded in 2016.

Our tax provision before discrete items is reconciled to our recorded benefit from income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2018. As we obtain additional information, we will record adjustments in subsequent periods, and will finalize the calculation of the income tax effects of the 2017 and 2016 as follows (in millions):Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2018, or in an earlier quarter if our analysis is complete.

We earn a significant amount of our operating income outside the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. Of the income generated in jurisdictions with tax rates materially lower than the statutory U.S. tax rate of 35%21%, most is earned in the Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy, and the Cayman Islands. In 2017, we realigned the ownership of certain intellectual property to augment operational synergies and parallel both our worldwide intellectual property ownership and our worldwide supply chain. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly and be adversely impacted if anticipated earnings in the Netherlands, Spain, and the Cayman Islands are proportionally lower than current projections and earnings in all otherforeign jurisdictions are proportionally highersignificantly different than current projections.

While we currently do not foresee a need to repatriate the earnings of foreign operations, should we require more capital in the U.S. than isour cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments located in the U.S., along with cash generated by our U.S. operations, we may elect to repatriate funds held in our foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. These alternatives could result in higher effective tax rates, the cash payments of taxes and/or increased interest expense.

Asexpense, and foreign income and withholding taxes. Due to the enactment of September 30,the 2017 Tax Act, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on dividends received from our foreign subsidiaries commencing January 1, 2018. We are evaluating the potential foreign and December 31, 2016, gross unrecognizedU.S. state income tax benefitsliabilities that would affectresult from future repatriations, if any, and how the effective tax rate2017 Tax Act will impact our current permanent reinvestment assertion. We expect to complete this analysis and the impact, if recognized were$32.3 and $32.0 million, respectively,any, which would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. Over the next twelve months,2017 Tax Act may have on our existing tax positions will continue to generate increased liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. It is reasonably possible that our gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease up to $5.0 millionindefinite reinvestment assertion in the next twelve months. These adjustments,fourth quarter of 2018, or in an earlier quarter if recognized, would positively impact our effective tax rate, and would be recognized as additional tax benefits in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The reduction in unrecognized tax benefits relates primarily to a lapse of the statute of limitations for federal and state tax purposes.

In accordance with ASU2013-11, we recorded $19.9 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits as an offset to deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2017, and the remaining $12.4 million has been recorded as noncurrent income taxes payable.

We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we have accrued $0.6 and $0.5 million, respectively, for potential payments of interest and penalties.

As of September 30, 2017, we were subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2014-2015 tax years, state tax jurisdictions for the 2012-2015 tax years, the Netherlands tax authority for the 2012-2015 tax years, the Spanish tax authority for the 2013-2016 tax years, the Israel tax authority for the 2011-2015 tax years, and the Italian tax authority for the 2012-2015 tax years.analysis is complete.

In Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, the U.S Tax Court issued an opinion on July 27, 2015, related to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. To date, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has not withdrawn the requirement to include stock-based compensation in intercompany cost-sharing arrangements from its regulations. Due to the uncertainty related to the status of the current regulations and the basis of the appeal that has been filed by the Internal Revenue Service, we have not recorded any benefit as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income by considering both positive and negative evidence relating to their recoverability. If we believe that recovery of these deferred tax assets is not more likely than not, we establish a valuation allowance.

Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we considered all available evidence, including recent operating results, projections of future taxable income, our ability to utilize loss and credit carryforwards, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. Other than valuation allowances on deferred tax assets related to California, Luxembourg, Israel, Netherlands, and Turkey deferred tax assets that will not be realized based on the size of the net operating loss and research and development credits being generated, we have determined that is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit related to all other deferred tax assets. To the extent we increase a valuation allowance, we will include an expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period in which such determination is made.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Use ofNon-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we usenon-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income and earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, and gains.

We believe the presentation ofnon-GAAP net income andnon-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides important supplemental information regarding certain costs, expenses, gains, and significant items that we believe are important to understanding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.Non-GAAP net income andnon-GAAP earnings per diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods and by management and our Board of Directors to determine whether our operating performance has met specified targets and thresholds. Management usesnon-GAAP net income andnon-GAAP earnings per diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes the exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending on our activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of our operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company.

Use and Economic Substance ofNon-GAAP Financial Measures

We computenon-GAAP net income andnon-GAAP earnings per diluted share by adjusting GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to remove the impact of the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, stock-based compensation expense,non-cash settlement of vacationemployee-related liabilities, restructuring and other expense, acquisition-related transaction expenses including costs to integrate such acquisitions into our business, acquisition-related transaction expenses, , incremental cost of revenue due to the fair value adjustment to inventories acquired in business acquisitions, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration including accretion and the related foreign exchange fluctuation impact, revenue recognition and accounting review costs, and litigation settlement charges, andnon-cash interest expense related to our Notes. We use a constantnon-GAAP tax rate of 19%, which we believe reflects the long-term average tax rate based on our international structure and geographic distribution of revenue and profit.

Ex-Currency. To better understand trends in our business, we believe it is helpful to adjust our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to exclude the impact of year-over-year changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. This is anon-GAAP measure that is calculated by adjusting revenue, gross profit, and operating expenses by using historical exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior period and removing the balance sheet currency remeasurement impact from interest income and other income, net, including removal of any hedging gains and losses. We refer to these adjustments asex-currency.”ex-currency”. Management believes theex-currency measures provide investors with an additional perspective on year-over-year financial trends and enables investors to analyze our operating results in the same way management does. The year-over-year currency impact can be determined as the difference between year-over-year actual growth rates and year-over-yearex-currency growth rates.

These excluded items are described below:

 

  

Cost of revenue related to fair value adjustment of the Free Flow Print Server business (“FFPS”).Inventory acquired in thean acquisition of FFPS is required tomust be recorded at fair value rather than historical cost in accordance with ASC 805. The fair value of FFPS inventory reflects the manufacturing cost plus a portion of the expected gross profit. We haveIn 2017, we adjusted our cost of revenue to reflect the expected gross profit that was included in the inventory valuation under ASC 805. We believe this adjustment is useful to investors to understand the gross profit trends of our ongoing business.

 

  

Amortization of identified intangible assets.Intangible assets acquired to date are being amortized on a straight-line basis.

 

  

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in accordance with ASC 718.

 

  

Non-cash settlement of vacation liabilitiesRestructuring and other through the issuance of RSUs, which are not included in the GAAP presentation of our stock-based compensation expense.consists of:

 

Restructuring charges incurred as we consolidate the number and other consists of:size of our facilities and, in addition, reduce the size of our workforce.

 

Expenses incurred to integrate acquired businesses of $1.1 and $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We have acquired 18 businesses in the last 5 years, which have required significant information technology investment to integrate them into our business.

Restructuring charges incurred as we consolidate the number and size of our facilities and, as a result, reduce the size of our workforce.

Expenses incurred to integrate businesses acquired of $0.2 and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.6 and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

  

Acquisition-related transaction costs associated with businesses acquired during the periods reported and anticipated transactions of $0.6 and $1.8were $0.7 million duringfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2018 and $0.4 and $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.2017.

 

  

Changes in fair value of contingent consideration.consideration. Our management determined that we should analyze the total return provided by the investment when evaluating operating results of an acquired entity. The total return consists of operating profit generated from the acquired entity compared to the purchase price paid, including the final amounts paid for contingent consideration without considering any post-acquisition adjustments related to changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration. Because our management believes the final purchase price paid for the acquisition reflects the accounting value assigned to both contingent consideration and to the intangible assets, we exclude the GAAP impact of any adjustments to the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration from the operating results of an acquisition in subsequent periods, including the related foreign exchange fluctuation impact. We believe this approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by our acquisitions and that investors benefit from a supplementalnon-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of this adjustment.

 

  

Non-cash interest expense on our Notes.Notes. Our Notes may be settled in cash on conversion. We are required to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the Notes in a manner that reflects ournon-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes, we are required to amortize a debt discount equal to the fair value of the conversion option as interest expense on our $345 million of 0.75% convertible senior notes that were issued in a private placement in September 2014 over the term of the Notes.

 

  

Revenue Recognition and Accounting Review Costs and Litigation Settlements.. As described in “Item 9A, Controls and Procedures” of our annual report on2017 Form10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2016, as amended in Amendment No. 2, our management concluded that we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20162017 related to revenue recognition practices, determination of inventory valuation at our Italian manufacturing subsidiary, and staffing levels within the Finance and Accounting function and, therefore, did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or effective disclosure controls and procedures, both of which are requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of that date. The review of our revenue recognition and inventory valuation practices has required that we expend significant management time and incur significant accounting, legal, and other expenses totaling $4.7$0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and we expect to incur additional costs in future periods. There were no comparable costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

We settled, or accrued reserves related to, litigation claims of $0.1 and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.1 and $0.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

 

  

Tax effect ofnon-GAAP adjustmentsadjustments.. We use a constantnon-GAAP tax rate of 19%, which we believe reflects the long-term average tax rate based on our international structure and geographic distribution of revenue and profit. The long-term average tax rate is calculated in accordance with the principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, after excluding the tax effect of thenon-GAAP items described above and $10.3$1.2 million of previously unrecognized tax benefits associated with the 2012 sale of our Foster City building and land, which wecharges recognized induring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2018 as a result of the 2017 Tax Act, which was enacted in December 22, 2017. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we previously excluded a $27.5 charge as a result of the 2017 Tax Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017.

Usefulness ofNon-GAAP Financial Information to Investors

Ournon-GAAP measures, includingex-currency, are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be materially different from othernon-GAAP measures, including similarly titlednon-GAAP measures, used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, net income, or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP.Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to thenon-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from ournon-GAAP net income andnon-GAAP earnings per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, ornon-recurring.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, and short-term investments decreased by $66.0$12.1 million to $393.8$339.5 million as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, from $459.7$351.6 million as of December 31, 2016.2017. The decrease was primarily due to cash consideration paid for the acquisition of GD, CRC, and FFPS of $16.7 million, repurchases under our stock repurchase program of $47.0 million, net settlement of shares for employee common stock related tax liabilities and the stock option exercise price of certain stock options of $10.0$17.6 million, cash payments for acquisition of property and equipment of $8.7$4.2 million, restricted investment and cash equivalent funding of $21.5 million related to the lease of the Manchester construction project, acquisition-related contingent consideration payments of $9.5 million, and debt repayments of $10.8$0.7 million, partially offset by cash flows provided by operating activities of $42.4$6.3 million and proceeds from ESPP purchases and stock option exercises of $11.7 million, and the impact of foreign exchange rate changes of $4.2$5.0 million.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, and short-term investments held outside of the U.S. in various foreign subsidiaries were $116.3$113.8 and $94.2$88.4 million as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, and will be used to fund local operations and finance international acquisitions. If these fundsDue to the enactment of the 2017 Tax Act, we are needed for our operations innot able to estimate the U.S., weforeign income and withholding taxes that would be requiredincurred as a result of a repatriation to accrue and pay U.S. federal and state income taxes on some or all of these funds. However, our intent is to indefinitely reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash generated from operating activities will satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure, investment, stock repurchase, commitments (see Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations through at least the next twelve months. We believe that the most strategic uses of our cash resources include business acquisitions, strategic investments to gain access to new technologies, repurchasesrepurchase of shares of our common stock, and working capital. At September 30, 2017, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments available were $393.8 million. We believe that our liquidity position and capital resources are sufficient to meet our operating and working capital needs.

Operating Activities

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, our cash provided by operating activities was approximately $42.4$6.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities consistsin the three months ended March 31, 2018 consisted primarily of a net incomeloss of $11.0$3.6 million, andoffset bynon-cash chargesexpenses including $17.1 million of depreciation and creditsamortization, $10.6 million of $90.4deferred taxes, $6.8 million of stock-based compensation and $3.8 million ofnon-cash accretion of interest expenses on Notes and imputed financing obligations, partially offset by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $59.0 million.Non-cash charges and credits of $90.4 million consist primarily of $48.0 million in depreciation and amortization, $22.5 million of stock-based compensation expense,non-cash accretion of interest expense of $11.2 million, provision for bad debts and sales-related allowances of $10.9 million, provision for inventory obsolescence of $3.6 million, and othernon-cash charges and credits of $3.3 million, partially offset by deferred tax credits of $9.1$ 29.0 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities of $59.0$29.0 million consistsconsisted primarily of increased gross accounts receivable of $21.5 million, increased gross inventories of $29.8$4.7 million, increased other current assets of $12.6$12.3 million, and decreased net income taxes payable of $5.9$15.4 million, partially offset by increased accounts payable and accrued liabilitiesdecreased inventory of $10.9$3.8 million.

Accounts Receivable

Our primary source of operating cash flow is the collection of accounts receivable from our customers. One measure of the effectiveness of our collection efforts is average days sales outstanding for accounts receivable (“DSO”). DSOs were 8894 and 7684 days at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. We calculate DSO by dividing net accounts receivable at the end of the quarter by revenue recognized during the quarter, multiplied by the total days in the quarter.

DSOs increased during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared with December 31, 2016,2017, primarily due to sales witha decrease in down payments in the period, extended payment terms on some larger contracts, and anon-linear sales cycle resulting in significant billings at the end greater portion of the quarter.our revenue coming from our Industrial Inkjet and Productivity Software product lines which have substantially longer payment terms than our Fiery products. We expect DSOs to vary from period to period because of changes in the mix of business between direct customers and end user demand driven through the leading printer manufacturers, the effectiveness of our collection efforts both domestically and overseas, and variations in the linearity of our sales. As the percentage of Industrial Inkjet and Productivity Software related revenue increases, we expect DSOs will trend higher. Contributing to the higher DSOs in the current year quarter was the shift in product mix to a lower percentage of Fiery sales relative to our total sales. Our DSOs related to the Industrial Inkjet and Productivity Software operating segments are traditionally higher than those related to the significant printer manufacturer customers / distributors in our Fiery operating segment as, historically, these Fiery customers have been granted shorter payment terms and have paid on a more timely basis.

We have facilities in the U.S. and Italy that enable us to sell to third parties, on an ongoing basis, certain trade receivables with recourse. Trade receivables sold with recourse are generally short-term receivables with payment due dates of less than 10 days from date of sale, which are subject to a servicing obligation. We also have facilities in Spain and Italy that enable us to sell to third parties, on an ongoing basis, certain trade receivables without recourse. Trade receivables sold without recourse are generally short-term receivables with payment due dates of less than one year, which are secured by international letters of credit.

Trade receivables sold cumulatively under these facilities were $15.3$3.2 and $3.1$1.3 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 on a recourse and nonrecourse basis, respectively, which approximates the cash received. The receivables that were sold to third parties were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and were reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Inventories

Our inventories are procured primarily in support of the Industrial Inkjet and Fiery operating segments. The majority of our Industrial Inkjet products are manufactured internally, while Fiery production is primarily outsourced. The result is lower inventory turnover for Industrial Inkjet inventories compared with Fiery inventories.

Our net inventories increaseddecreased by $35.6$2.0 million to $131.9$123.8 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 from $96.3$125.8 million at December 31, 20162017 primarily due to the increasedecrease in Industrial Inkjet inventories, including our Nozomi products, launched in the third quarter of 2017, and acquisition of FFPS inventories. Inventory turnover was 3.63.9 during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 compared with 5.24.4 turns during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.2017 and 3.8 in the quarter ended March 31, 2017. We calculate inventory turnover by dividing annualized current quarter cost of revenue by ending inventories. In 2016, we introduced the Nozomi single-pass industrial digital inkjet platform, which was launched in the third quarter of 2017 for the corrugated, paper packaging, display printing, and other related markets. The Nozomi printer is a single pass,1.8-meter, and high speed LED industrial digital inkjet corrugated packaging press for the corrugated, paper packaging, and display printing markets that prints up to 75 linear meters (246 linear feet) per minute.

Investing Activities

Acquisitions

On August 14, 2017,In the first quarter of 2018, we acquired GD for cash considerationpaid $0.3 million as a working capital purchase price adjustment on the acquisition of $3.2 million, net of cash acquired, plus an additional potential future cash earnout, which is contingent on achieving certain revenueCRC Information Systems and operating profit performance targets. GD provides software to textile and fashion designers for the creation and design of prints and patterns, color matching, and color palette creation and management within our Fiery operating segment.

On May 8, 2017, we acquired CRC from Reynolds for cash consideration of $7.6 million. CRC provides business process automation software for commercial label and packaging printers included in the Midmarket Print Suite within our Productivity Software operating segment.Escada.

On January 31, 2017, we purchased the FFPS business from Xerox for cash consideration of $5.9 million, plus $18.0 million of future cash payments, of which $9.0 million was paid in July 2017 and $9.0 million is payable in July 2018. The FFPS business manufactures and markets the FFPS DFE, which is a DFE that previously competed with our Fiery DFE.

On June 16, 2016, we purchased Optitex for cash consideration We received a net working capital adjustment of $11.6 million, net of cash acquired, plus an additional potential future cash earnout, which is contingent on achieving revenue and operating profit performance targets. Optitex has developed and markets integrated 2D and 3D design software that is shortening the design cycle, reducing our customers’ costs, and accelerating the adoption of fast fashion.

On March 1, 2016, we purchased Rialco for cash consideration of $8.4 million, net of cash acquired, plus an additional potential future cash earnout, which is contingent on achieving revenue and gross profit targets. Rialco is a leading European supplier of dye powders and color products for the textile, digital print, and other decorating industries.

The escrow of $1.5$0.2 million related to the ReggianiOptitex acquisition was remitted to us in return for the issuance of shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

A tax recovery liabilityfirst quarter of $1.0 million related to the Cretaprint acquisition2017, which was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.recorded as a purchase price adjustment.

Investments

Proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases, were $77.4$7.3 and $27.3$3.1 million during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively. We have classified our investment portfolio as “available for sale.” Our investments are made with a policy of capital preservation and liquidity as primary objectives. We may hold investments in fixed income debt securities to maturity; however, we may sell an investment at any time if the quality rating of the investment declines, the yield on the investment is no longer attractive, or we have better uses for the cash. Since we invest primarily in investment securities that are highly liquid with a ready market, we believe the purchase, maturity, or sale of our investments has no material impact on our overall liquidity.

Property and Equipment, Net

Our property and equipment additions have historically been funded with cash flows from operating activities. Net cash payments for purchases of property and equipment were $8.7$4.2 and $17.6$3.8 million during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. See also Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and 2016, respectively, includingSignificant Accounting Policies of the 2016 purchaseNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about purchases of single pass digital inkjet printer manufacturingproperty and engineering equipment in the Americas and Spain.equipment.

Restricted Cash Equivalents and Investments

We have restricted cash equivalents and investments that are required to be maintained by the lease related to our Manchester, New Hampshire, construction project, which is described more fully in Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The funds pledged under the lease represent 115% of the total expenditures made by BTMU through September 30, 2017. The funds are invested in $20.9$35.7 and $5.8$32.5 million of U.S. government securitiescash equivalents as of March 31, 2018 and cash equivalents,December 31, 2017, respectively, with a third partythird-party trustee and are restricted during the construction period. Upon completion of construction, the funds will be released as cash and cash equivalents. The portion of released funds that represents 100% of the total expenditures made by BTMUMUFG will be deposited with BTMUMUFG and restricted as collateral until the end of the underlying lease period.

The funds pledged as collateral are invested in U.S. government securities and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017, and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as more fully defined in Note 5—Investments and Fair Value Measurements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financing Activities

Proceeds from Issuance of Common Stock Option and ESPP Proceeds

Historically, our recurring cash flows provided by financing activities have been from theincluded receipt of cash from the issuance of common stock through the exercise of stock options and employee purchases of ESPP shares. We received proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.7$0.0 and $0.6$0.8 million and employee purchases of ESPP shares of $10.0$5.0 and $9.8$5.1 million during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively. While we may continue to receive proceeds from these plans in future periods, the timing and amount of such proceeds are difficult to predict and are contingent on certain factors including the price of our common stock, the timing and number of stock options exercised by employees that had participated in these plans, net settlement options, employee participation in our ESPP, and general market conditions. We anticipate that cash provided from the exercise of stock options will continue to decline as we have shifted to issuance of RSUs, rather than stock options.

Treasury Stock Purchases

The primary use of funds for financing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $17.6 and 2016 was $56.9 and $65.3$22.5 million, respectively, of cash used to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock. Such repurchases included $10.0$0.2 and $7.6$5.0 million used for net settlement of shares for the exercise price of certain stock options and any tax withholding obligations incurred connected with such exercises and tax withholding obligations that arose on the vesting of RSUs during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively.

On November 9, 2015, the board of directors approved the repurchase of $150 million of outstanding common stock commencing January 1, 2016. On September 11, 2017, the board of directors approved an additional $125 million for our share repurchase program commencing September 11, 2017. At that time, $28.8 million remained available for repurchase under the 2015 authorization.authorization for this program. The 2017 authorization thereby increased the repurchase authorization to $153.8 million of our common stock. This authorization expires December 31, 2018. Under this publicly announced plan, we repurchased 1.00.6 and 1.40.4 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $47.0$17.4 and $57.7$17.5 million during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, $92.0 million remained available for repurchases under the authorization.

Repayment of Imputed Financing Obligation Related toBuild-to-Suit Lease

We paid $0.3 and 2016,$0.4 million of capital lease obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Earnout Payments

CashEarnout payments related to earnouts during the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 of $9.5$0.7 and $1.3 million are primarily related to the previously accrued Shuttleworth Rialco, and Reggiani contingent consideration liabilities. Earnout payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $1.9 million are primarily related to the previously accrued DirectSmile, SmartLinc, and Metrix contingent consideration liabilities.

Acquisition-related Debt PaymentsConvertible Senior Notes

We paid approximately $10.8 and $8.5Our $345 million principal amount Notes are due on September 1, 2019, unless previously purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Company is currently evaluating various alternatives for refinancing all or a portion of indebtedness during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, relatedNotes prior to the FFPS acquisition or assumed in the Optitex, Matan, and Rialco acquisitions.their maturity date.

Other Commitments

Our Industrial Inkjet inventories consist of materials required for our internal manufacturing operations and finished goods andsub-assemblies purchased from third partythird-party contract manufacturers. Raw materials and finished goods, print heads, frames, digital UV curable ink, ceramic digital ink, various textile printing inks, and other components are required to support our internal manufacturing operations. Label and packaging digital inkjet printers,Ceramic ink, branded textile ink, and certainsub-assemblies are purchased from third party contract manufacturers and branded third partythird-party ink manufacturers.

Our Fiery inventory consists primarily of raw materials and finished goods, memory subsystems, processors, and ASICs, which are sold to third party contract manufacturers responsible for manufacturing our products. Should we decide to purchase components and manufacture Fiery DFEs internally, or should it become necessary for us to purchase and sell components other than memory subsystems, processors, and ASICs to our contract manufacturers, inventory balances and potentially property and equipment would increase significantly, thereby reducing our available cash resources. Further, the inventories we carry could become obsolete, thereby negatively impacting our financial condition and results of operations.

We are also reliant on several sole source suppliers for certain key components and could experience a significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations if such supplies were reduced or not available. From time to time we may find it necessary to purchase higher than normal levels of such supplies to provide safety stocks in case of supply disruptions. We may also be required to compensate our subcontract manufacturers for components purchased for orders subsequently cancelled by us. We periodically review the potential liability and the adequacy of the related allowance.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business and to facilitate the sales of our products, we sometimes indemnify other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with us. When we indemnify these parties, typically those provisions protect other parties against losses arising from our infringement of third party intellectual property rights or other claims made by third parties arising from the use or distribution of our products. Those provisions often contain various limitations including limits on the amount of protection provided.

As permitted under Delaware law, pursuant to our bylaws, charter, and indemnification agreements with our current and former executive officers, directors, and general counsel, we are required, subject to certain limited qualifications, to indemnify our executive officers, directors, and general counsel for certain events or occurrences while the executive officer, director, or general counsel is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The indemnification period covers all pertinent events and occurrences during the executive officer’s, director’s, or general counsel’s lifetime. The maximum potential future payments we may be obligated to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have director and officer insurance coverage that limits our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

Legal Proceedings

Please refer to “Part II – Other Information, Item 1: Legal Proceedings” in this Report for more information regarding our legal proceedings.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

On August 26, 2016, we entered into aPlease refer to Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of oursix-year lease agreement and have accountedwith MUFG for a 225,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse facility under construction. Minimum lease term of 48.5 years, inclusive of two renewal options of 5.0 and 3.5 years, with the City of Manchester to lease 16.9 acres of land adjacent to the Manchester Regional Airport. The land is subleased to BTMUpayments during the initialsix-yearterm offor the lease related to the manufacturing facility that is being constructed on the site, which is described below. Minimumbuilding are $1.8 million and minimum lease payments are $13.1 million during the 48.5 year term of the land lease, excluding foursix months of the land lease that is financed into the manufacturing facility lease.

On August 26, 2016, we entered into asix-year lease with BTMU whereby a 225,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse facility is under construction related to our super-wide format industrial digital inkjet printer business in the Industrial Inkjet operating segment at a projected cost of $40 million and a construction period of 18 months. Minimum lease payments during the initialsix-year term are $1.8 million. Upon completion of the initialsix-year term, we have the option to renew the lease, purchase the facility, or return the facility to BTMUMUFG subject to an 89% residual value guarantee under which we would recognize additional rent expense in the form of a variable rent payment. We have assessed our exposure in relation to the residual value guarantee and believe that there is no deficiency to the guaranteed value with respect to funds expended by BTMUMUFG as of September 30, 2017. We are treated as the owner of the facility for federal income tax purposes.March 31, 2018.

The funds pledged under the lease represent 115% of the total expenditures made by BTMU through September 30, 2017. The funds are invested in $20.9 and $6.8 of million U.S. government securities and cash equivalents, respectively, with a third party trustee and will be restricted during the construction period. Upon completion of construction, the funds will be released as cash and cash equivalents. The portion that represents 100% of the total expenditures made by BTMU will be deposited with BTMU and restricted as collateral until the end of the underlying lease period.

Contractual Obligations

Please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations” presented in our Annual Report on2017 Form10-K,10-K. as amended in Amendment No. 2, during the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no material changes during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

Item 3:Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, general credit, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, liquidity, and interest rate risks, which may be exacerbated by the tight global credit market and increase in economic uncertainty that have affected various sectors of the financial market and continue to cause credit and liquidity issues. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We may enter into financial instrument contracts to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on earnings and cash flows. The counterparties to such contracts are major financial institutions. We hedge our operating expense exposure in Indian rupees. The notional amount of our Indian rupee cash flow hedge was $3.8 million at September 30, 2017. We hedge balance sheet remeasurement exposures using forward contracts not designated for hedge accounting treatment with notional amounts of $188.0 million at September 30, 2017 consisting of hedges of British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Israeli shekel, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi and Euro-denominated intercompany balances with notional amounts of $99.6 million, hedges of Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Israeli shekel, and Euro-denominated trade receivables with notional amounts of $46.5 million, and hedges of British pounds sterling, Indian rupee, Israeli shekel, Canadian dollar, and Euro-denominated other net monetary assets with notional amounts of $41.9 million.

Since Europe represents a significant portion of our revenue and cash flow, SEC encourages disclosure of our European concentrations of credit risk regarding gross receivables, related reserves, and aging on a region or country basis, and the impact on liquidity with respect to estimated timing of receivable payments.flow. Since Europe is composed of varied countries and regional economies, our European risk profile is somewhat more diversified due to the varying economic conditions among the countries. Approximately 32%29% of our receivables are with European customers as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. Of this amount, 31%25% of our European receivables (10%(7% of consolidated receivables) are in the higher risk southern European countries (mostly Italy, Spain, and Portugal), which management believes are adequately reserved.

Marketable Securities

We maintain an investment portfolio of short-term fixed income debt securities of various holdings, types, and maturities. These short-term investments are generally classified asavailable-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of OCI. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by investing in securities with maturities of less than three years; however, we may be unable to successfully limit our risk to interest rate fluctuations. At any time, a sharp rise in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Conversely, declines in interest rates could have a material favorable impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Increases or decreases in interest rates could have a material impact on interest earnings related to new investments during the period. We do not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

Interest Rate Risk

European investments are required to be disclosed by counterparty (i.e., sovereign andnon-sovereign) and by country. We have no European sovereign debt investments. Our European debt and investments consistconsisted ofnon-sovereign corporate debt securities of $16.1$5.8 million, which represents 12%represented 8% of our corporate debt instruments (7%(4% of our short-term investments) at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. European debt investments are with corporations domiciled in the northern and central European countries of Sweden, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, France, and the U.K.France. We do not have any short-term investments with corporations domiciled in the higher risk “southern European” countries (i.e., Italy, Spain, Greece, and Portugal) or in Ireland. We believe that we do not have significant exposure with respect to our money market and corporate debt investments in Europe.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we have $345 million principal amount of Notes outstanding. We carry these instruments at face value less unamortized discount on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Since these instruments bear interest at fixed rates, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. Although the fair value of these instruments fluctuates when interest rates change, a substantial portion of the market value of our Notes that exceeds the outstanding principal amount relates tois also influenced by the conversion premium. Please refer to Note 5 – Investments and Fair Value Measurements and Note 6 – Convertible Senior Notes, Note Hedges, and Warrants of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A large portion of our business is conducted in countries other than the U.S. We are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates for the Euro, British pound sterling, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Israeli shekel, New Zealand dollar, and Australian dollar. Although the majority of our receivables are invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars, we have exposure fromnon-U.S. dollar-denominated sales (consisting of the Euro, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Israeli shekel, Australian dollar, and Canadian dollar) and operating expenses (primarily the Euro, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Israeli shekel, Japanese yen, Indian rupee, and Australian dollar) in foreign countries. We can benefit from or be adversely affected by either a weaker or stronger U.S. dollar relative to major currencies worldwide with respect to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we can benefit from a stronger U.S. dollar due to the corresponding reduction in our foreign operating expenses translated in U.S. dollars and at the same time we can be adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar due to the corresponding reduction in foreign revenue translated in U.S. dollars.

We hedge our operating expense exposure in Indian rupees. The notional amount of our Indian rupee cash flow hedge was $3.8 million at September 30, 2017. We hedge balance sheet remeasurement exposures using forward contracts not designated for hedge accounting treatment with notional amounts of $188.0$243.5 million at September 30, 2017 consisting of hedges of British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Israeli shekel, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbiMarch 31, 2018. Please refer to Note 10 – Derivatives and Euro-denominated intercompany balances with notional amounts of $99.6 million, hedges of Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Israeli shekel, and Euro-denominated trade receivables with notional amounts of $46.5 million, and hedges of British pounds sterling, Indian rupee, Israeli shekel, Canadian dollar and Euro-denominated other net monetary assets with notional amounts of $41.9 million.Hedging in our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Item 4:Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure“disclosure controls and procedures,procedures”, as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the end of the period covered by this interim report.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of our annual report on2017 Form10-K, as amended in Amendment No. 2, for the year ended December 31, 2016, management performed its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016,2017, and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of that date was not effective because of the material weaknesses described below.

Our management determined that, as of December 31, 2016,2017, the following material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting:reporting.

 

 1.Our internal controls were not designed effectively to ensure that operational changes, which may impact revenue recognition, were appropriately and timely evaluated to determine the accounting impact.

 

 2.We did not sufficiently staff, with appropriate levels of experience and training, to allow for the adequate monitoring and timely communication of operational changes, including those which may impact revenue recognition on an ongoing basis.

 

 3.Our internal control over excess and obsolete finished goods printer inventory reserves at our Italian manufacturing subsidiary was not designed effectively to conduct a sufficiently precise evaluation of the classification, condition, and salability of each printer and the cost accounting department was not staffed sufficiently to mitigate limitations relating to these reserves in the ERP system used solely at this subsidiary.

Items #1 and #2 resulted in management not timely identifying and evaluating the appropriate period of recognition for certain revenue transactions related to printers distributed from a single location, which should have been evaluated in accordance with the bill and hold revenue recognition guidance. Item #3 resulted in management not timely evaluating the appropriate period ofde-recognition of certain printer inventory manufactured at our Italian manufacturing subsidiary, which should have been subject to an excess and obsolescence impairment or reclassification and depreciation.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis. Because the deficiencies identified could result in a misstatement of revenue, inventory, and related accounts and associated disclosures that could be material to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements, such deficiencies represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20162017 and March 31, 2018 was not effective due to the material weaknesses described above.

Material Weakness Discussion and Remediation

Management analyzed the impact resulting from the identified material weaknesses and concluded that it did not have a material impact on our previously issued consolidated financial statements. However, due to the effect of recording an out-of-period correction in our current financial statements, management has determined to prospectively restate our financial statements to give effect to the correction related to the excess and obsolescence and related Italian inventory immaterial misstatements when future financial statements are filed. The impact to net income for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 for this correction is a decrease of $0.6 and $1.3 million, respectively, from amounts previously reported of $45.5 and $33.5 million, respectively.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we concluded that our previously issued consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in our filings fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented. The foregoing has been approved by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who have been involved with the reassessment and analysis of our internal control over financial reporting.

The material weaknesses did not result in a material misstatement in the financial statements included in our annual report on2017Form 10-K, as amended in Amendment No. 2, for the year ended December 31, 2016, or previously issued financial statements; however, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2016,2017, there was a reasonable possibility that material misstatements could occur in the consolidated financial statements.

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

Following the identification of the foregoing material weaknesses, management commenced implementation of a remediation plan, which is ongoing. Management believes that the plan, once complete, will remediate the material weaknesses described above. The following steps of the remediation plan are currently in process, and management may determine to enhance existing controls and/or implement additional controls as the implementation progresses:

 

Design and implement controls to properly identify, evaluate, and monitor operational changes, which may impact revenue recognition;

 

Evaluate the sufficiency, experience, and training of our internal personnel and hire additional personnel or use external resources;

 

Design and implement controls related to the approval and accounting for any bill and hold transactions;

 

Design and implement controls to evaluate excess and obsolete inventory reserves at our Italian subsidiary; and

 

Direct our internal auditors to perform additional testing of revenue transactions to ensure the sufficiency of our remediation efforts.

We are in the process of further reviewing, documenting, and testing our internal controls over financial reporting, and we may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing existing controls and/or implementing additional controls. Because the implementation of our remediation plan was ongoing as of September 30,December 31, 2017 and because there was insufficient time as of September 30, 2017, to demonstrate that the new controls implemented as part of the remediation plan were operating effectively as of that date,March 31, 2018, management concluded that the material weaknesses described in our amended annual report above, remainremained unremediated as of September 30, 2017.December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

Important Considerations

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017.2018. Based on that evaluation, except for the changes described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirdfirst quarter of 20172018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1:Legal Proceedings

We may be involved, from time to time, in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, or proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities laws, intellectual property rights, employment, or other matters that may arise in the normal course of business. We assess our potential liability in each of these matters by using the information available to us. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. We accrue estimated losses from contingencies if a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated.

We are subject to the matters discussed below asFor a description of our significant pending legal proceedings, please see Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies of the date of this filing:

Purported Class Action Lawsuit

On August 10, 2017, a putative class action was filed against the Company and its two named executive officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captionedPipitone v. Electronics For Imaging, Inc., No.2:17-cv-05992 (D.N.J.). The complaint alleges, among other things, that statements by the Company and its officers about the Company’s financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures were false or misleading. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other costs, on behalf of a putative class of individuals and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired EFI securities from February 22, 2017 through August 3, 2017.

At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Because this matter is in the preliminary stages, we are not yet in a positionNotes to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred.

Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits

On August 22, 2017, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda captionedSchiffmiller v. Gecht, No. RG17873197. The complaint makes claims derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant against the Company’s named executive officers and directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment, and alleges, among other things, that statements by the Company and its officers about the Company’s financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures were false or misleading. The complaint alleges the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged actions, and seeks an unspecified amount of damages, restitution, and declaratory and other relief. The derivative action has been stayed pending the resolution of thePipitone class action described above.

At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Because this matter has been stayed pending resolution of thePipitone class action described above, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred. Because this matter has been stayed pending resolution of thePipitone class action described above, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred.

MDG Matter

EFI acquired Matan in 2015 from sellers (the “2015 Sellers”) that acquired Matan Digital Printing Ltd. from other sellers in 2001 (the “2001 Sellers”). The 2001 Sellers have asserted a claim against the 2015 Sellers and Matan asserting that they are entitled to a portion of the 2015 Sellers’ proceeds from EFI’s acquisition. The 2015 Sellers dispute this claim and have agreed to indemnify EFI against the 2001 Sellers’ claim.

Although we are fully indemnified and we do not believe that it is probable that we will incur a loss, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by the unfavorable resolution of this matter. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that we could incur a material loss in this matter. We estimate the range of loss to be between one dollar and $10.1 million. If we incur a loss in this matter, it will be offset by a receivable of an equal amount representing a claim for indemnification against the escrow account established in connection with the Matan acquisition.

Other Matters

We are subject to various other claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings in addition to the matters discussed above. There is at least a reasonable possibility that additional losses may be incurred in excess of the amounts that we have accrued. However, we believe that these claims are not material to our financial statements or the range of reasonably possible losses is not reasonably estimable. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and while we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us, our financial statements could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies or because of the diversion of management’s attention and the incurrence of significant expenses.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Item 1A:Risk Factors

In addition to information regarding risk factors that appears in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Forward-looking Statements” in Part I, Item 2, of this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, and Part II, Items 7 and 7A, of our Annual Report onthe 2017 Form10-K, as amended in Amendment No. 2, for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described herein and in our 20162017 Form10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

In addition to the risk factors disclosed in our 2016 Form10-K, we have identified the following material changes to our risk factors.

We are currently subject to securities lawsuits and we may be subject to similar or other litigation in the future, which may divert management’s attention and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The market price of our common stock declined significantly following our August 3, 2017 announcement concerning our assessment of the timing of recognition of revenue and the effectiveness of our current and historical disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting. On August 10, 2017, a purported class action lawsuit was filed alleging, among other things, that we and certain of our officers violated federal securities laws by making allegedly false and misleading statements concerning our financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures, prior to our August 3, 2017 announcement. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the putative class and an award of costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees. In addition, on August 22, 2017, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed alleging, among other things that certain of our officers and our directors had breached fiduciary duties and had been unjustly enriched and had made allegedly false and misleading statements concerning our financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures. The complaint alleges that the Company has suffered damage and seeks an unspecified amount of damages, restitution, and declaratory and other relief.

We cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits and we may be subject to other similar litigation in the future. Monitoring and defending against legal actions, whether or not meritorious, is time-consuming for our management and detracts from our ability to fully focus our internal resources on our business activities. In addition, we may incur substantial legal fees and costs in connection with litigation. Although we have insurance, coverage could be denied or prove to be insufficient. We are not currently able to estimate the possible cost to us from the currently pending lawsuits, and we cannot be certain how long it may take to resolve these matters or the possible amount of any damages that we may be required to pay. We have not established any reserves for any potential liability relating to these or future lawsuits. It is possible that we could, in the future, incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims for monetary damages. A decision adverse to our interests on these actions could result in the payment of substantial damages and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the uncertainty of the currently pending lawsuits could lead to more volatility in our stock price.

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, and the occurrence of these or any other material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our ability to report accurate financial information in a timely manner.

As described in “Item 9A, Controls and Procedures” of our annual report on Form10-K, as amended in Amendment No. 2, for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“annual report”), our management concluded that we had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 related to revenue recognition practices at a single manufacturing location as well as inventory valuation practices at our Italian manufacturing location and therefore did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or effective disclosure controls and procedures, both of which are requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of that date. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Following the identification of the material weaknesses, management implemented remediation plans, which are ongoing as of September 30, 2017. Because there was insufficient time as of September 30, 2017, to demonstrate that the new controls implemented as part of the remediation plan were operating effectively as of that date, management concluded that the material weaknesses described in our Annual Report on Form10-K, as amended in Amendment No. 2, for the year ended December 31, 2016, as amended, still existed as of September 30, 2017.

The remedial measures we are undertaking may not be adequate to prevent future misstatements or avoid other control deficiencies or material weaknesses. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

If we fail to continue to introduce new products that achieve market acceptance on a timely basis, we will not be able to compete effectively and we will be unable to increase or maintain net revenue and gross margins.

We operate in a highly competitive, quickly changing environment, and our future success depends on our ability to develop or acquire, and introduce new products that achieve broad market acceptance. Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to identify demand trends and quickly develop or acquire, and manufacture and sell products that satisfy these demands in a cost effective manner. In order to differentiate our products from our competitors’ products, we must continue to increase our focus and capital investment in research and development. For example, we have committed substantial resources expressed in bothman-hours and financial investment to the development of our Nozomi single-pass industrial digital inkjet platform, which was introduced in 2016 and launched in the third quarter of 2017, for the corrugated, paper packaging, display printing, and other related markets. We have invested significantly in the research and development, sales and marketing, and manufacturing processes required to successfully launch this product. While we have indications of interest from potential customers, we are unable to predict the actual level of demand for this product because Nozomi is a new product and the indications of interest are cancellable and may not ultimately become orders. If this product is not successful in the market, then our condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations could be materially impacted.

Successfully predicting demand trends is difficult, and it is very difficult to predict the effect introducing a new product will have on existing product sales. We will also need to respond effectively to new product announcements by our competitors by quickly introducing competitive products. Any future delays in product development and introduction, or product introductions that do not meet broad market acceptance, or unsuccessful launches of new product lines could result in:

loss of or delay in revenue and loss of market share;

negative publicity and damage to our reputation and brand;

a decline in the average selling price of our products;

adverse reactions in our sales channels, such as reduced shelf space, reduced online product visibility, or loss of sales channel;

increased levels of product returns; and

failure to recover amounts invested

(2)In November 2015, our board of directors authorized $150 million for the repurchase of our outstanding common stock commencing January 1, 2016. On September 11, 2017, the board of directors approved an increase of $125 million for our share repurchase program commencing September 11, 2017. At that time, $28.8 million remained available for repurchase under the 2015 authorization. The 2017 authorization thereby increased the repurchase authorization to $153.8 million of our common stock. This authorization expires December 31, 2018. Under this publicly announced plan, we repurchased 0.30.6 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of $12.5$17.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.
(2)Includes less than 0.1 million shares purchased from employees to satisfy the exercise price of certain stock options and any tax withholding obligations incurred in connection with such exercises and minimum tax withholding obligations that arose on the vesting of RSUs.

Item 3:Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

 

Item 4:Mine Safety Disclosure

Not applicable.

 

Item 5:Other Information

Correction of Prior Period InformationNot applicable.

As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, during the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we identified certain errors at our Italian manufacturing subsidiary attributable to the valuation and classification of certain finished goods inventory. The preceding resulted in an understatement of cost of revenue in 2015 and operating expenses in 2016.

We consider the correction to previously issued financial statements to be immaterial.

We plan to prospectively restate our financial statements as they are issued in future filings. The impact to net income for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 for this correction is a decrease of $0.6 and $1.3 million, respectively, from amounts previously reported of $45.5 and $33.5 million, respectively.
