The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate relates to the valuation allowances on the Company’s net operating losses and foreign tax rate differences. IncomeThe "Provision for income tax expenseexpense" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily consists of income and withholding taxes for foreign and state jurisdictions where the Company has profitable operations, as well as valuation allowance adjustments for certain U.S. tax jurisdictions. No tax benefit was provided for losses incurred in United Statesthe U.S., Ireland and Singapore because those losses are offset by a full valuation allowance.

Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Same Period Ended September 30, 2018
Net Revenue, Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Substantially all of our netNet revenue is primarily attributable to commissions we earn from the sale of renewals of maintenance, support and subscription agreements on behalf of our clients. We generally invoicealso generate revenues from selling professional services. Historically, we earned a small percentage of our clients for our services in arrears on a monthly basis for sales commissions, and on a quarterly basis for certain performance sales commissions; accordingly, we typically have no deferred revenue related to these services. We do not set the price, terms or scope of services in the service contracts with end customers and do not have any obligations related to the underlying service contracts between our clients and their end customers.
We also earntotal revenue from the sale of subscriptions to our cloud-based applications. To date, subscription revenue has been a small percentage of total revenue. We expect revenues generated from subscriptions of Renew OnDemand to continue declining for the remainder of 2017. Subscription fees are accounted for separately from commissions, and they are billed in advance over a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the related subscription term.
We have generated a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of clients. Our top ten customers accounted for 67% and 65% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The lossCost of revenue from any of our top clients for any reason, including the failure to renew our contracts, termination of some or all of our services, a change of relationship with any of our key clients or their acquisition, can cause a significant decrease in our revenue.
Our business is geographically diversified. Through the first three quarters of 2017, 64% of our net revenue was earned in North America and Latin America (“NALA”), 24% in Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and 12% in Asia Pacific Japan (“APJ”). Net revenue for a particular geography generally reflects commissions earned from sales of service contracts managed from our revenue delivery centers in that geography. Predominantly all of the service contracts sold and managed by our revenue delivery centers relate to end customers located in the same geography. In addition, our Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Sofia locations are revenue delivery centers where we have centralized, for our worldwide operations, the key contract renewal processes that do not require regional expertise, such as client data management and quoting.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

To the extent our client base or business with our existing client base expands, we may need to hire additional service sales personnel and invest in infrastructure to support such growth.

Gain (loss) on cost basis equity investment. In 2013, we made an equity investment in a private company for $4.5 million, which represented less than 5% of the outstanding equity of that company. Based on unfavorable growth trends and declining financial performance of this private company, we determined this investment was fully impaired and recorded a $2.3 million and $2.2 million impairment charge in the third and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively. During the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2017,2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the maturity and payoff of our $150.0 million convertible notes in August 2018.
Other (expense) income, net decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to foreign currency fluctuations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary operating cash requirements include the payment of compensation and related costs and costs for our facilities and information technology infrastructure. Historically, we have financed our operations from cash provided by our operating activities and cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and available funds from our senior secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over the next twelve months.
As of September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23.1 million, which primarily consisted of demand deposits and money market mutual funds. Included in cash and recordedcash equivalents was $7.1 million held by our foreign subsidiaries used to satisfy their operating requirements. We consider the proceedsundistributed earnings of ServiceSource Europe Ltd. and ServiceSource International Singapore Pte. Ltd. permanently reinvested in foreign operations and have not provided for U.S. income taxes on such earnings. As of September 30, 2019, we had no unremitted earnings from our foreign subsidiaries.
During July 2018, we entered into a $40.0 million Revolver that allows us to borrow against our domestic receivables as defined in the credit agreement. The Revolver matures July 2021 and bears interest at a variable rate per annum based on the greater of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, a margin of 1.00% for base rate borrowings or 2.00% for Eurodollar borrowings. Proceeds from the Revolver are used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As of September 30, 2019, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver. Obligations under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the borrowers and certain of their subsidiaries, including pledges of equity in certain of our subsidiaries. The Revolver has covenants with which we are in compliance as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Letter of Credit and Restricted Cash
In connection with two of our leased facilities, we are required to maintain two letters of credit totaling $2.3 million. The letters of credit are secured by $2.3 million of cash in money market accounts, which are classified as restricted cash in "Other assets" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(1) Excluded from the enacted tax rates in effect fortable is the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
We evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis. This evaluation utilizes the framework contained in ASC 740, Income Taxes, wherein management analyzes all positive and negative evidence available at the balance sheet date to determine whether all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Under this guidance, a valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not (a probability level of more than 50 percent) that they will not be realized. In assessing the realization of our deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, and place significant emphasis on guidance contained in ASC 740, which states that “a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome.”
We account for unrecognized tax benefits using a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We record an income tax liability if any,we recorded for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax returns. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions change, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The reserves are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.

Net revenue decreased $4.4 million, or 7%, for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016. The overall decrease was due to contractions and lower production with certain existing customers that was not offset by production related to expansions and new business in the third quarter of 2017.
Our cost of revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was consistent with the third quarter of 2016 as a result of a $0.9 million decrease in employee related costs as a result of shifting headcount to lower cost offices and locations, all related to our continuous efforts to better align employee costs with revenue, a decrease of $0.5 million in temporary labor and consulting costs, $0.2 million decrease in recruitment costs, $0.4 million decrease in information technology, offset by a $1.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization costs and $0.8 million of overhead allocations.

The $0.9 million, or 46%, decrease in research and development expense in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 was primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in employee related costs associated with decrease in headcount and a $0.2 million decrease in temporary labor and $0.1 million decrease in overhead allocations.
Internal-use software development capitalization decreased $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to decreased development efforts related to our Renew OnDemand platform.
The $1.6 million, or 26%, decrease in research and development expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to $1.5 million decrease in employee related costs associated with a decrease in headcount, a $0.1 million decrease in travel costs and a $0.1 million decrease in rent and facility expense. These decreases were offset by a $0.1 million increase in information technology costs.
Internal-use software development capitalization increased by $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to continued development efforts related to our internal managed services platforms.
General and administrative expenses
The $2.1 million, or 14%, decrease in general and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 reflected a $1.0 million decrease in employee related costs, a $0.5 million decrease in temporary labor and consulting costs, a $0.2 decrease in rent and facility costs, a $0.3 decrease in travel costs, a $0.7 million decrease in overhead allocations and a $1.5 million decrease due to a non-recurring legal reserve recorded in the third quarter of 2016. Offsetting these decreases was a $0.4 million increase in marketing programs, a $0.3 million increase in recruitment costs, $0.3 million increase in information technology costs and a $1.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization costs.
The $1.8 million, or 5%, increase in general and administrative expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflected a $1.3 million increase in employee related costs, $0.9 million increase in recruitment costs, a $0.8 increase in information technology, a $2.9 million increase in depreciation expense and a $0.4 million increase in marketing costs. Offsetting these increases was a $0.8 million decrease in travel costs, $0.4 million decrease in temporary labor and consulting fees, $1.5 million decrease related to a non-recurring legal reserve recorded in the third quarter of 2016 and a $1.9 million decrease in overhead allocations.
Restructuring and other expenses
The $0.5 million and $6.3 million increase in restructuring and other in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was related to our recognition of restructuring and other charges during the second and third quarter of 2017. During the second quarter we announced an effort to better align our cost structure with current revenue levels.

For the third quarter of 2017, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million. The tax benefit resulted primarily from a taxable loss in a foreign affiliate. Income tax expense decreased in the third quarter of 2017 by $1.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to state valuation allowance recorded in 2016.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded income tax expense of approximately $0.2 million. This amount primarily represents anticipated taxes in jurisdictions where we have profitable operations, including certain U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. Income tax expense decreased in the third quarter of 2017 by $2.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2016 primarily due to certain state deferred tax assets.
As of September 30, 2017, we have recorded a full valuation allowance on2019, our state deferredliability for unrecognized tax assets. No benefitbenefits was provided for losses incurred in U.S. and Singapore because those losses are offset by a full valuation allowance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2017, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $179.8 million, which primarily consisted of demand deposits, money market mutual funds, corporate bonds and United States government obligations held by well-capitalized financial institutions. In addition, at September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.5 million held outside$1.0 million. A reasonable estimate of the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries that was generated by such subsidiariesamounts and which is used to satisfy their current operating requirements. We consider the undistributed earningsperiods of our foreign subsidiaries torelated future payments cannot be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations and we do not have current plans to repatriate these earnings to fund our U.S. operations as we have sufficient cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments heldmade at this time.
The contractual commitment amounts in the United States.
Our primary operating cash requirements include thetable above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding, which specify significant terms, included payment of compensation andterms, related costs, working capital requirements related to accounts receivable and accounts payable, as well as costs for our facilities and information technology infrastructure. Historically, we have financed our operations principally from cash provided by our operating activities, proceeds from stock offeringsservices and the exercise of stock options. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months.
In August 2013, we issued $150 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible notes due August 1, 2018 (the “Notes”) and concurrently entered into convertible notes hedges and separate warrant transactions. The Notes will mature on August 1, 2018, unless converted earlier. Upon conversion, the Notes will be settled in cash, shares of our stock, or any combination thereof, at our option. We received proceeds of $145.1 million from the issuanceapproximate timing of the convertible notes, net of associated fees, received $21.8 million from the issuance of the warrants and paid $31.4 million for the note hedges. The Notes weretransaction. Obligations under contracts that we may cancel without a significant penalty are not subject to conversion or repurchase at September 30, 2017 and are classified as a current liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We believe we will have sufficient cash and liquid short-term investments to repay the Note at maturity.
Letter of Credit and Restricted Cash
In connection with one of our leased facilities, the Company is required to maintain a $1.2 million letter of credit. The letter of credit is secured by $1.2 million of a money market account which is classified as Other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management has determined that our most criticalThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, are those related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, goodwillincluding making estimates and intangible assets and income taxes. There have been no material changes in our criticalassumptions. The Company's significant accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosedare described in “Management’s"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” ofEstimates" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as filed2018. These policies were followed in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and are consistent with the SEC on March 6, 2017.year ended December 31, 2018, except for the new accounting policies related to the adoption and application of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Lease Accounting (“ASC 842") as of January 1, 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The information contained inFor a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 12 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 under the heading, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
ServiceSource believes net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate financial measure of our operating performance; however, ServiceSource considers adjusted EBITDA to be a useful supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance. We believe adjusted EBITDA can assist investors in understanding and assessing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of the Company's capital structure and other non-cash or non-recurring items from operating results and provides an additional tool to compare ServiceSource's financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.
EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus provision for income tax (benefit) expense, interest and other expense, net and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus non-cash stock-based compensation, amortization of contract acquisition costs related to the initial adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), restructuring and other related costs, impairment loss on investment securities and litigation reserve.
This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We believe that thereThere have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures associated with foreign currency risk, inflation risk and interest rate risk for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, as compared with those discussed in our Annual Reportannual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2018.
The effective interest rate on our Revolver was 6.00% as of September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, we did not have any borrowings outstanding on the Revolver, therefore a 1% increase in the effective interest rate would not increase interest expense. We may incur additional expense in future periods if we borrow on the Revolver.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”).
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on management’s evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, and are effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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 disclosures.
(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
