NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

 

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements fairly present the financial information contained therein. These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  The financial statements and footnotes are unaudited.  In management’s opinion, all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments, have been included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to present fairly the financial position and operating results of QAD Inc. (“QAD” or the “Company”). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Because of seasonal and other factors, results of operations for the threenine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2020.

 

The Company’s accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such Annual Report also contains a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates. The Company believes that these accounting policies and estimates affect its more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassifiedAssets Held for consistency withSale

During the current year presentation. Adjustments were madesecond quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company vacated its building located in Dublin, Ireland, and moved its operations into leased office space. The Company entered into an agreement to sell the operating activities sectionbuilding and expects to complete the sale within the next 12 months. The net book value of the building of $1.7 million was classified as assets held for sale, and is included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated StatementsBalance Sheet as of Cash Flows. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations and no effect on previously reported cash flows from operating activities.October 31, 2019. The net book value approximates fair market value.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Except as discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the threenine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FinancialFASB issued Accounting Standards BoardUpdate (“FASB”ASU”issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This pronouncement requires lessees to recognize a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset on the balance sheet. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, along with related clarifications and improvements, as of February 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, which allows the Company to apply Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. Accordingly, the comparative periods and disclosures have not been restated. The cumulative effect of adoption was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet in the period of adoption.

 

The Company elected the package of practical expedients not to reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs and the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for certain assets. Additionally, the Company adopted the policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes.

 


Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of a non-cash transitional adjustment to ROU lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $13.1 million and $13.9 million, respectively, as of February 1, 2019. The difference between the ROU lease assets and lease liabilities represented existing deferred rent expense and prepaid rent that were derecognized and recorded to retained earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not materially impact results of operations or cash flows.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software under ASC 350-40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset and which costs to expense. ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively to implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively to all arrangements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill to eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In addition, it eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if that fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. The amendmentsASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not believe adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost, which includes the Company's accounts receivables, certain financial instruments and contract assets. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will generally result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements in order to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

REVENUE

 

QAD offers its software using the same underlying technology via two models: a traditional on-premises licensing model and a cloud-based subscription model. The on-premises model involves the sale or license of software on a perpetual basis to customers who take possession of the software and install and maintain the software on their own hardware. Under the cloud-based subscription delivery model, QAD provides access to its software on a hosted basis as a service and customers generally do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software.

 

The Company generates revenue through sales of licenses and maintenance provided to its on-premises customers and through subscriptions of its cloud-based software. QAD offers professional services to both its on-premises and cloud customers to assist them with the design, testing and implementation of its software.

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

-

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

-

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

-

Determination of the transaction price;

-

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

-

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue is presented net of sales, value-added and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities. 

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606.ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies and tracks the performance obligations at contract inception so that the Company can monitor and account for the performance obligations over the life of the contract.


 

The Company’s contracts which contain multiple performance obligations generally consist of the initial purchase of subscription or licenses and a professional services engagement.  License purchases generally have multiple performance obligations as customers purchase maintenance in addition to the licenses.  The Company’s single performance obligation arrangements are typically maintenance renewals, subscription renewals and services engagements. 

 

For contracts with multiple performance obligations where the contracted price differs from the standalonestand-alone selling price ("SSP") for any distinct good or service, the Company may be required to allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate for the SSP. SSP is assessed annually using a historical analysis of contracts with customers executed in the most recently completed fiscal year to determine the range of selling prices applicable to a distinct good or service.

 

Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company rarely licenses or sells its software products on a stand-alone basis, so the Company is required to estimate the range of SSPs for each performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable because the Company does not sell the license, product or service separately, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. In making these judgments, the Company analyzes various factors, including its pricing methodology and consistency, size of the arrangement, length of term, customer demographics and overall market and economic conditions. Based on these results, the estimated SSP is set for each distinct product or service delivered to customers. The Company rarely sells licenses on a stand-alone basis, as the majority of its license sales to customers include first year maintenance with the license purchase. The Company frequently sells subscription, maintenance and services on a stand-alone basis. 

 

Subscription

 

Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the initial subscription period committed to by the customer commencing when the cloud environment is made available to the customer. The initial subscription period is typically 12 to 60 months. The Company generally invoices its customers in advance in quarterly or annual installments and typical payment terms provide that customers make payment within 30 days of invoice.

 

Software Licenses

 

Transfer of control for software is considered to have occurred upon electronic delivery of the license key that provides immediate availability of the product to the customer. The Company’s typical payment terms tend to vary by region but its standard payment terms are within 30-90 days of invoice.


 

Maintenance

 

Revenue from support services and product updates, referred to as maintenance revenue, is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which in most instances is one year. Software license updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product updates, maintenance releases and patches released during the term of the support period on a when-and-if available basis. Product support includes Internet access to technical content, as well as Internet and telephone access to technical support personnel. The Company’s customers purchase both product support and license updates via the Company’s maintenance offering when they acquire new software licenses. In addition, a majority of customers renew their maintenance contracts annually and typical payment terms provide that customers make payment within 30 days of invoice.

 

Professional Services

 

Revenue from professional services is typically comprised of implementation, development, training or other consulting services. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials or fixed fee basis and can include services ranging from software installation to data conversion and building non-complex interfaces to allow the software to operate in integrated environments. The Company recognizes revenue for time-and-materials arrangements as the services are performed.  In fixed fee arrangements, revenue is recognized as services are performed as measured by costs incurred to date, compared to total estimated costs to complete the services project.  Management applies judgment when estimating project status and the costs necessary to complete the services projects.  A number of internal and external factors can affect these estimates, including labor rates, utilization and efficiency variances and specification and testing requirement changes.  Services are generally invoiced upon milestones in the contract or upon consumption of the hourly resources and payments are typically due 30 days after invoice. 

 


Indirect Sales Channels

 

The Company executes arrangements through indirect sales channels via sales agents and distributors who are authorized to market its software products to end users. In arrangements with sales agents, QAD contracts directly with the customer and sales agents are compensated on a commission basis. Distributor arrangements are those in which the resellers are authorized to market and distribute the Company’s software products to end users in specified territories and the distributor bears the risk of collection from the end user customer. The Company recognizes revenue from transactions with distributors when the distributor submits a signed agreement and transfer of control has occurred to the distributor in accordance with the five revenue recognition steps noted above. Revenue from distributor transactions is recorded on a net basis (the amount actually received by the Company from the distributor). QAD does not offer rights of return, product rotation or price protection to any of its distributors.

 

Disaggregated Revenue

 

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by geography and by the customers’ industry within manufacturing, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

 

The Company’s revenue by geography is as follows:

Management Judgments

 

Due to the complexity of certain contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under Topic 606 for the Company’s arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms and may vary in some instances.

 

Revenue is recognized over time for the Company’s subscription, maintenance and fixed fee professional services that are separate performance obligations.  For the Company’s professional services, revenue is recognized over time, generally using costs incurred or hours expended to measure progress. Judgment is required in estimating project status and the costs necessary to complete projects. A number of internal and external factors can affect these estimates, including labor rates, utilization, specification variances and testing requirement changes. 

 

If a group of agreements are entered at or near the same time and so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single arrangement, such agreements are deemed to be combined as one arrangement for revenue recognition purposes. The Company exercises judgment to evaluate the relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether agreements should be accounted for separately or as a single arrangement. The Company’s judgments about whether a group of contracts comprise a single arrangement can affect the allocation of consideration to the distinct performance obligations, which could have an effect on results of operations for the periods involved.

 

If a contract includes variable consideration, the Company exercises judgment in estimating the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer. When estimating variable consideration, the Company will consider all relevant facts and circumstances. Variable consideration will be estimated and included in the contract price only when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized will not occur.

Contract Balances  

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. QAD records a contract asset when the Company has transferred goods or services but does not yet have the right to consideration. QAD records deferred revenue when the Company has received or has the right to receive consideration but has not yet transferred goods or services to the customer.

 


The contract assets indicated below are presented as other current and non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets primarily relate to professional services and subscription and consist of the Company’s rights to consideration for goods or services transferred but not billed as of April 30,October 31, 2019. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional, usually upon completion of a milestone.

 

The Company’s contract balances are as follows:

 $106,184  $116,718  $83,822  $116,718 

 

During the threenine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019, the Company recognized $52.3$105.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period.  All other activity in deferred revenue is due to the timing of invoicing in relation to the timing of revenue recognition.


 

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations were approximately $254.7$232.3 million as of April 30,October 31, 2019, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately $157.5$144.2 million as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, QAD has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company’s products and services, and not to facilitate financing arrangements.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

The Company typically invoices its customers for subscription and support feesmaintenance in advance on a quarterly or annual basis, with payment due at the start of the subscription or supportmaintenance term. Unpaid invoice amounts for non-cancelable services starting in future periods are included in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. The portion of deferred revenue that QAD anticipates will be recognized after the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as non-current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as current deferred revenue.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

 

There are several practical expedients and exemptions allowed under Topic 606 that impact timing of revenue recognition and the Company’s disclosures. Below is a list of the practical expedients applied by the Company:

 

 

The Company does not evaluate a contract for a significant financing component if payment is expected within one year or less from the transfer of the promised items to the customer.

 


 

The Company generally expenses sales commissions and sales agent fees when incurred when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

 

 

The Company also used the practical expedient to calculatecalculates contract acquisition costs based on a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics instead of a contract by contract analysis.

  

 

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (applies to time-and-material engagements).


 

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract

 

The Company’s incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract consist of sales commissions and sales agent fees which are deferred and amortized ratably over the term of economic benefit which the Company has determined to be five years. These deferred costs are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense. Incremental costs related to renewals are expensed as incurred because the term of economic benefit is one year or less. The current and non-current portions of deferred commissions are included in other current assets and other long-term assets, respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At April 30,October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, the Company had $10.9$11.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of deferred commissions and sales agent fees. For each of the three and nine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019, $1.0 million and 2018, $0.9$2.9 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to deferred commissions and sales agent fees waswere recorded in sales and marketing expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2018, $0.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to deferred commissions and sales agent fees were recorded in sales and marketing expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

 

Costs to fulfill a contract, which are incurred upon initiation of certain services contracts and are related to initial customer setup, are included in other current assets and long-term assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At April 30,October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019 the Company had deferred setup costs of $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. These costs are amortized over the term of economic benefit which the Company has determined to be five years. During the three and nine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019, and 2018, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to deferred setup costs waswere recorded in cost of subscription in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2018, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to deferred setup costs were recorded in cost of subscription in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

 

Recoverability of these costs is subject to various business risks. Quarterly, the Company compares the carrying value of these assets with the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by them to determine if there is impairment. If impaired, these assets are reduced to an estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow basis. No impairment losses were recognized during the threenine months ended April 30, 2019.October 31, 2019 or October 31, 2018.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

When determining fair value, the Company uses a three-tier value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Whenever possible, the Company uses observable market data. The Company relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available. Classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

 

•  Level 1 - Money market mutual funds and short-term investments are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices.

 

•  Level 2 - The asset or liability related to the interest rate swap is recorded at fair value based upon a valuation model that uses relevant observable market inputs at quoted intervals, such as forward yield curves.

 


 The following table sets forth the financial assets and liability, measured at fair value, as of April 30,October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019:

Money market mutual funds are classified as part of “Cash and equivalents” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of cash and equivalents deposited with commercial banks was $31.7$25.9 million and $31.6 million at April 30,October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, respectively.

 

The Company’s note payable bears a variable market interest rate commensurate with the Company’s credit standing. Therefore, the carrying amount outstanding under the note payable reasonably approximates fair value based on Level 2 inputs.

 

There have been no transfers between fair value measurements levels during the threenine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

The Company entered into an interest rate swap in May 2012 to mitigate the exposure to the variability of one month LIBOR for its floating rate debt described in Note 7 “Debt” within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of the interest rate swap is reflected as an asset or liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the change in fair value is reported in “Other (income) expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated as the net present value of projected cash flows based upon forward interest rates at the balance sheet date.

 


The fair values of the derivative instrument at April 30,October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s capitalized software development costs relate to translations and localizations of QAD Adaptive Applications. Acquired software technology costs relate to acquired technology purchased during the second quarter fiscal 2019.

 

It is the Company’s policy to write off capitalized software development costs once fully amortized. Accordingly, during the first threenine months of fiscal 2020, approximately $0.1$0.2 million of costs and accumulated amortization were removed from the balance sheet.

 

Amortization of capitalized software costs was $0.2 million and $0.1$0.7 million for the three and nine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019, respectively; compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2018, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs is included in “Cost of license” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

Effective May 30, 2012, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into a variable rate credit agreement (the “2012 Mortgage”) with Mechanics Bank (formerly Rabobank, N.A.), to refinance a pre-existing mortgage. The 2012 Mortgage has an original principal balance of $16.1 million and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%. One month LIBOR was 2.48%1.88% at April 30,October 31, 2019. The 2012 Mortgage matures in June 2022 and is secured by the Company’s headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. In conjunction with the 2012 Mortgage, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into an interest rate swap with Rabobank, N.A.Mechanics Bank. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount of $16.1 million and a schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31% for the entire term of the 2012 Mortgage. The terms of the 2012 Mortgage provide for QAD Ortega Hill, LLC to make net monthly payments of $88,100 consisting of principal and interest and one final payment of $11.7 million. The unpaid balance as of April 30,October 31, 2019 was $13.2$13.0 million.

LEASES

 

The Company leases certain office space, office equipment and autos with remaining lease terms offrom one yearmonth to eighttwelve years under leases classified primarily as operating. The Company’s finance leases are immaterial. QADCompany has options to terminate some of its leases early. The lease term represents the period up to the early termination date unless it is reasonably certain that QAD will not exercise the early termination option. For certain leases, QADthe Company has options to extend the lease term for additional periods ranging from one year to sixten years.

 

The Company treats a contract as a lease when the contract conveys the right to use a physically distinct asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the Company directs the use of the asset and the Company obtains substantially all the economic benefits of the asset. These leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease obligation liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months.  ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the entirety of the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make payments over the life of the lease. An ROU asset and a lease liability are recognized at commencement of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments over the life of the lease. Initial direct costs are included as part of the ROU asset upon commencement of the lease. Since the interest rate implicit in a lease is generally not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar lease term to obtain an asset of similar value. QADThe Company used the incremental borrowing rate on February 1, 2019 for all leases that commenced prior to that date.

 

QADThe Company reviews the impairment of ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for the Company’s other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations.


 

The Company has applied the practical expedient available for lessees in which lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component for all asset classes. The Company also elected the practical expedient to exclude short-term leases (leases with original terms of 12 months or less) from ROU asset and lease liability accounts.

 

LeaseA majority of the Company’s leases are operating and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. Variable payments change due to facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time, and do not result in a remeasurement of lease liabilities. The Company’s variable lease payments include payments to lessors for taxes, maintenance, insurance and other operating costs as well as payments that are adjusted based on a CPI index or rate and payments in excess of fixed amounts, such as excess mileage charges on leased autos. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

INCOME TAXES

 

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company calculated income tax expense based on actual quarterly results in the first quartersthird quarter of fiscal yearsyear 2020, and 2019, respectively. These resultscompared to the prior year where the Company calculated income tax expense based on the estimated annual tax rate. Results were adjusted for discrete items recorded during the period. Actual quarterly results wereare being used in fiscal 2020 and 2019 since they providedprovide a more reliable estimate of quarterly tax expense.expense given the Company has recorded net losses during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and expects to record a net loss for the full fiscal year.

 

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.7$1.4 million and $1.2$0.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 92% during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 17% for the same period in the prior year. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to lower pre-tax income in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and overall expected losses for the fiscal 2020 year compared to higher pre-tax income in the same period of fiscal 2019 and overall expected profits for the fiscal 2019 year. Additionally, $0.8 million of tax expense relates to an out-of-period adjustment recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 to correct a valuation allowance initially placed on the Company’s Irish Principal’s deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  The Company concluded that the out-of-period correction is not material to the current or prior quarter condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $12.0 million and $3.3 million for the first threenine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to (28%was (275%) during the first quarternine months of fiscal 2020 compared to 46%37% for the same period in the prior year. The decreasechange in the effective tax rate iswas primarily due to a taxablevaluation allowance that was placed on the Company’s Irish Principal’s net deferred tax assets and a pre-tax loss for the first threenine months of fiscal 2020 compared to a taxable profitpre-tax income for the same period of fiscal 20192019. The placement of a valuation allowance resulted in additionrecording $10.8 million to change in jurisdictional mix.income tax expense.

 

When calculating QAD’s income tax expense for the first threenine months of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, the Company considered the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) enacted December 22, 2017. The Company included a provisioncalculated an estimate for global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) in the Company’s tax expense. The provisionalexpense based on the final GILTI estimate considered the proposed regulations released on September 13, 2018June 14, 2019 by the U.S. Department of Treasury. These regulations provide computational, definitional, and anti-avoidance rule guidance relating to the determination of a U.S. shareholder’s GILTI inclusion. In the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2019, cash taxes were2020, tax expense was not impacted by GILTI since the Company had sufficient tax credits to offset the additional liability. For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company does not have a GILTI inclusion due to theis experiencing losses sustained in Ireland.overseas.

 

The Company has elected to treat the deferred taxes related to GILTI provisions as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”).

 

The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1.3$1.2 million at April 30,October 31, 2019, including interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits were reduced by $1 million with an accompanying reduction ofoffset to deferred tax assets, as a result of the netting required under ASU 2013-11.2013-11 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will impact the Company’s effective tax rate. This liability is classified as long-term unless the liability is expected to conclude within twelve months of the reporting date.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of April 30,October 31, 2019, the Company has accrued approximately $0.1 million of expense related to interest and penalty expense relatingpenalties to unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The Company reviews its net deferred tax assets by jurisdictionentity on a quarterly basis to determine whether a valuation allowance is necessary based on the more-likely-than-not standard. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, management considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance was needed. Management assesses historic,the transfer pricing methodology, the historical profits, the economics of the country in which the entity operates, the current and future financial projectionscustomer base, the type and character of the deferred tax asset and any other current and relevant information by jurisdictionentity to draw its conclusion. 

A valuation allowance has been established for select foreign jurisdictions (i.e. Germany, Belgium, Hong Kong and Brazil) along with U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. ForThe following table discloses the quarter ended April 30, 2019, the Company continues to maintain a fullCompany’s valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. At April 30, 2019 and January 31, 2019, the valuation allowance attributable to deferred tax assets was $35.6 million and $34.9 million, respectively.by entity (in millions):

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company’s equity awards consist of RSUs, PSUs and SARs. For a description of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, see Note 6 “Stock-Based Compensation” in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019.

 

Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”)

In June 2019, the Company began issuing performance-based stock units (“PSUs”) to select employees. PSUs granted to employees under the 2016 Program are generally released 1/3 after each year of service for three years and are contingent upon employment with the Company and achievement of pre-determined performance objectives. To determine the anticipated achievement of the performance objectives, management must make assumptions regarding the likelihood of the Company meeting those targets. The number of PSUs that vest will be predicated on the Company achieving performance objectives during the measurement period subsequent to the date of grant. Depending on the financial performance levels achieved, a percentage of the PSUs (0% to 200% of the target award) will vest to the grantees of those stock units. There is no guarantee that the Company’s outstanding PSUs will vest in whole or in part.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Indemnifications

 

The Company sells software licenses and services to its customers under written agreements. Each agreement contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the customer and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the customer against losses, expenses and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the customer in the event the Company’s software is found to infringe upon certain intellectual property rights of a third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects.

 

The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to the indemnification provisions of the agreements. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases under the agreements, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions.

 


Legal Actions

 

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. 

 

 

14.

INTRODUCTION

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019, and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared applying certain critical accounting policies. The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. Critical accounting policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

QAD Inc. (“QAD”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a leading provider of flexible, cloud-based enterprise software and services for global manufacturing companies. At QAD’s annual user conference in early May, we officially launched our solution portfolio “QAD Adaptive Applications” and our flagship ERP solution “QAD Adaptive ERP” to reflect the value QAD brings to our manufacturing customers.  In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, we referred to these solutions as “QAD Enterprise Applications” or “Enterprise Applications”. QAD Adaptive Applications support operational requirements in the areas of financials, customer management, supply chain, manufacturing, service and support, analytics, business process management and integration. QAD's portfolio also includes related solutions for quality management software, supply chain management software, transportation management software and business-to-business interoperability. QAD solutions support customers in the automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial manufacturing and life sciences industries to streamline processes, improve operational performance, comply with regulatory requirements and meet industry standards. 

 

We have four principal sources of revenue:

 

Subscription of QAD Adaptive Applications through our cloud offering in a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) model as well as other hosted applications;

 

License purchases of QAD Adaptive Applications;

 

Maintenance and support, including technical support, training materials, product enhancements and upgrades; and

 

Professional services, including implementations, technical and application consulting, training, migrations and upgrades.

 


We operate primarily in the following four geographic regions: North America, Latin America, EMEA and Asia Pacific. In the first threenine months of fiscal 2020, approximately 48%49% of our total revenue was generated in North America, 29% in EMEA, 15% in Asia Pacific and 8%7% in Latin America. The majority of our revenue is generated from global customers who have operations in multiple countries throughout the world. A significant portion of our revenue and expenses are derived from international operations which are primarily conducted in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have impacted our results of operations and may impact our future results of operations. At April 30,October 31, 2019, we employed approximately 1,9801,930 employees worldwide, of which 650625 employees were based in North America, 610 employees in EMEA, 600580 employees in Asia Pacific and 120115 employees in Latin America.

 

Our customer base and our target markets are primarily global manufacturing companies; therefore, our results are heavily influenced by the state of the manufacturing economy on a global basis. As a result, our management team monitors several economic indicators, with particular attention to the Global and Country Purchasing Managers’ Indexes (“PMI”). The PMI is a survey conducted on a monthly basis by polling businesses that represent the makeup of respective sectors. Since most of our customers are manufacturers, our revenue has historically correlated with fluctuations in the manufacturing PMI. Global macro-economic trends and manufacturing spending are important barometers for our business, and the health of the U.S., Western European and Asian economies have a meaningful impact on our financial results.

 

We are transitioning our business model from traditional on-premises licensing to cloud-based subscriptions. During fiscal 2019 and the first threenine months of fiscal 2020, we closed most of our new customer deals in the cloud. Subscription revenue grew 15% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the same period last year and our twelve-month trailing subscription billings grew by 18%. In addition, we have converted approximately 15% of our existing customers from on-premises licenses to our cloud-based solution. Recurring revenue, which we define as subscription revenue plus maintenance revenue grew 4% for the first three months of fiscal 2020 from the same period last year, and accounted for 71%72% of total revenue for the first threenine months of fiscal 2020, compared to 61%64% for the same period last year. By reducing our customers’ up-front costs and providing continuous application and infrastructure support, we expect our cloud business model will be more attractive than on-premises licenses. We expect recurring revenue to remain a majority of total revenue as our subscription revenue continues to grow.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

 

We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 14 “Business Segment Information” within the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In order to present our results of operations without the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we provide certain financial information on a “constant currency basis”, which is in addition to the actual financial information presented in the following tables. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current foreign currency exchange rates to the prior period results.

Total Revenue. On a constant currency basis, total revenue was $78.0$77.8 million for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020, representing a $4.9$0.6 million, or 6%1%, decrease from $82.9$78.4 million for the same period last year. The primary reason for the decrease in total revenue was due to lower professional services revenue. Our results for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 also included decreases in license revenue and maintenance and other revenue. As our existing customers convert from on-premises licenses to using our software in the cloud, we expect license revenue and maintenance and other revenue will continue to decline. These decreases were offset by a 16% increase in subscription revenue, on a constant currency basis, as we are focused on selling our software solutions to new customers in the cloud. Revenue outside the North America region as a percentage of total revenue was 51% and 50% for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. On a constant currency basis, total revenue decreased in our North America and Asia Pacific regions and increased in our EMEA and Latin America regions during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

On a constant currency basis, total revenue was $232.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, representing a $12.3 million, or 5%, decrease from $244.5 million for the same period last year. When comparing categories within total revenue at constant currency rates, our results for the first quarternine months of fiscal 2020 included decreases in professional services, license and maintenance and other partially offset by an increase in subscription. Revenue outside the North America region as a percentage of total revenue was 52%51% and 54%52% for the first quarternine months of both fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. On a constant currency basis, total revenue decreased inacross all our regions during the first quarternine months of fiscal 2020 when compared to the same period in the prior year.

 


 

Our products are sold to manufacturing companies that operate mainly in the following six industries: automotive, consumer products, food and beverage, high technology, industrial products and life sciences. Given the similarities between consumer products and food and beverage as well as between high technology and industrial products, we aggregate them for management review. The following table presents revenue by industry for the three and nine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019 and 2018:

The decrease in percentage of revenue by industry for automotive and the percentage increases in high technology and industrial products and life sciences and other,is primarily related to a reduction in professional services revenue following the completion of a large, multisite global implementation project for a customer in the automotive industry.industry that was substantially completed at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

 

Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue consists of recurring fees from customers to access our products via the cloud and other subscription offerings. Our cloud offerings typically include access to QAD software, hosting, application support, maintenance support and product updates, if and when available. Included in subscription revenue are one-time set up fees for technical services such as configuration of the database and access to the environment.

 

On a constant currency basis, subscription revenue was $25.3$27.3 million for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020, representing a $4.4$3.7 million, or 21%16%, increase from $20.9$23.6 million for the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, subscription revenue increased across all regions during the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020 when compared to the same period last year. One of the metrics that management uses to monitor subscription performance is the number of new cloud deals that have been signed in the period. In the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020 we closed 1625 new cloud deals, including six14 new cloud customers and 11 conversions from existing customers who previously purchased on-premises licenses. This compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019 when we closed 15 new cloud deals, including ten new cloud customers and five conversions from existing customers who previously purchased on-premises licenses. The increase in subscription revenue consists of new customer sites; existing customers converting from on-premises licenses; and additional users and modules purchased by our existing cloud customers.

On a constant currency basis, subscription revenue was $78.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, representing an $11.8 million, or 18%, increase from $66.7 million for the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, subscription revenue increased across all regions during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 when compared to the prior year. In the first nine months of fiscal 2020 we closed 64 new cloud deals, including 32 new cloud customers and 32 conversions from existing customers who previously purchased on-premises licenses. This compared to the first quarternine months of fiscal 2019 when we closed 1844 new cloud deals, including 1329 new cloud customers and five15 conversions from existing customers who previously were running our solutions on-premises. The increase in subscription revenue consists of new customer sites; existing Adaptive Applications users converting from on-premises; and additional users and modules purchased by our existing cloud customers.on-premises licenses.

 

We track our retention rate of subscription and maintenance by calculating the annualized revenue of customer sites with contracts up for renewal at the beginning of the period compared to the annualized revenue associated with the customer sites that have canceled during the period. The percentage of revenue not canceled is our retention rate. Conversions to the cloud are not considered cancellations for purposes of the maintenance retention calculation. Both our subscription and maintenance customer retention rates are in excess of 90%.

License Revenue. License revenue is derived from software license fees that customers pay for our core product, QAD Adaptive Applications, and any add-on modules they purchase. Our revenue mix has continued to shift from license to subscription revenue as a result of our business model transition aswhere more new customers subscribeare subscribing to our cloud-based offerings rather than purchasepurchasing traditional on-premises licenses. While we expect license revenue to decline over time, we do continue to experience quarterly fluctuations.

 

On a constant currency basis, license revenue was $4.5$3.3 million for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020, representing a $1.5$1.2 million, or 25%27%, decrease from $6.0$4.5 million for the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, license revenue decreased in all our North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific regions and remained flat in our EMEA region during the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020 when compared to the same period last year. During the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020, one customertwo customers placed one license orderorders totaling more than $1.0$0.3 million and no other customers placed orders totaling more than $1 million. This was consistent with the third quarter of fiscal 2019 in which two customers placed license orders totaling more than $0.3 million and no customers placed orders totaling more than $1 million. The majority of our license revenue is generated from our existing customers purchasing additional users and modules.

On a constant currency basis, license revenue was $11.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, representing a $4.7 million, or 29%, decrease from $16.0 million for the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, license revenue decreased in all our regions during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 when compared to the same period last year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, four customers placed license orders totaling more than $0.3 million and one order exceeded $1 million. This compared to the first quarternine months of fiscal 2019 in which threeseven customers placed license orders totaling more than $0.3 million and one order exceeded $1.0 million. The majority of our license revenue has come from additional users and module purchases from our existing customers.

Maintenance and Other Revenue. We offer support services 24 hours a day, seven days a week in addition to providing software upgrades, which include additional or improved functionality, when and if available.

 

On a constant currency basis, maintenance and other revenue was $29.9$29.7 million for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020, representing a $0.4$0.2 million, or 1%, decrease from $30.3$29.9 million for the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, maintenance and other revenue decreased in our North America region,and Asia Pacific regions, remained flat in our Latin America and Asia Pacific regionsEMEA region and increased in our EMEALatin America region during the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020 when compared to the same period last year.  The decrease in maintenance and other revenue period over period is primarily due to continued conversions of existing customers’ on-premises licenses to cloud subscriptions, in addition to our historical attrition rates.subscriptions. When customers convert to the cloud they no longer pay for maintenance as those support services are included as a component of the subscription offering. Though we continue to see renewal rates above 90%, conversions from on-premises to cloud have resulted in decreases in maintenance revenue and we expect this trend to continue in the future.

On a constant currency basis, maintenance and other revenue was $89.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, representing a $1.1 million, or 1%, decrease from $90.3 million for the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, maintenance and other revenue decreased in our North America and Asia Pacific regions, and increased in our EMEA and Latin America regions during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 when compared to the prior year. The decrease in maintenance and other revenue period over period is primarily due to conversions to the cloud, in addition to our historical attrition rates.

 

Professional Services Revenue. Our professional services business includes technical and application consulting in addition to training, implementations, migrations and upgrades related to our solutions. Although our professional services are optional, our customers use these services when planning, implementing or upgrading our solutions whether in the cloud or on-premises. Professional services revenue growth is contingent upon subscription and license revenue growth and customer upgrade cycles, which are influenced by the strength of general economic and business conditions.

 

On a constant currency basis, professional services revenue was $18.4$17.5 million for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020, representing a $7.3$2.9 million, or 28%14%, decrease from $25.7$20.4 million for the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, professional services revenue decreased in our North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific regions and increased in our Latin America region during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 when compared to the same period last year. Prior year professional services revenue includes revenue related to a large, multisite global implementation project that was substantially completed at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

On a constant currency basis, professional services revenue was $53.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, representing an $18.3 million, or 26%, decrease from $71.5 million for the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, professional services revenue decreased in all our regions during the first quarternine months of fiscal 2020 when compared to the same period lastprior year. The decrease primarily related to a reduction in professional services revenue following the completion of a large, multisite global implementation project.

Total other (income)income, net was $(0.7)$0.1 million and $(0.8)$1.1 million for the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. The change in net other (income) expense was primarily related to higher interest incomeforeign exchange losses of $0.2$0.8 million due to interest rate increases partially offset byand the unfavorable change in the fair market value of the creditinterest rate swap associated with the mortgage on our headquarters of $0.2$0.1 million. 

Total other income, net was $1.7 million and $2.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019, respectively. The change in net other (income) expense was primarily related to higher foreign exchange losses of $0.8 million and the unfavorable change in the fair market value of the interest rate swap associated with the mortgage on our headquarters of $0.5 million partially offset by higher interest income of $0.3 million.

 

Interest rate swap valuations and foreign exchange gains and losses are subject to changes which are inherently unpredictable. Our interest rate swap is accounted for using mark-to-market accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap each reporting period are adjusted through earnings, subjecting us to non-cash volatility in our results of operations. The swap fixes the interest rate on our mortgage to 4.31% over the entire term of the mortgage and effectively lowered our interest rate from the previous mortgage rate of 6.5%. Although the agreement allows us to prepay the loan and exit the agreement early, we have no intention of doing so. As a result, we will have non-cash adjustments through earnings each reporting period. Over the term of the mortgage, however, the net impact of these mark-to-market adjustments on earnings will be zero.

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we calculated income tax expense based on actual quarterly results in the first quartersthird quarter of fiscal years 20202020. In the prior year, we were anticipating a profit for the year and 2019, respectively.therefore we used an estimated annual tax rate when calculating income tax expense. These results were adjusted for discrete items recorded during the period. Actual quarterly results wereare being used in fiscal 2020 and 2019 since they providedprovide a more reliable estimate of quarterly tax expense.expense given that we recorded net losses during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and we expect a net loss for the full fiscal year.

 

We recorded income tax expense of $0.7$1.4 million and $1.2$0.6 million forin the first three monthsthird quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our effective tax rate was (28%)92% for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 46%17% for the same period in the prior year. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to lower pre-tax income in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and overall expected losses for the fiscal 2020 year compared to higher pre-tax income in the same period of fiscal 2019 and overall expected profits for the fiscal 2019 year. Additionally, $0.8 million of tax expense relates to an out-of-period adjustment recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 to correct a valuation allowance initially placed on our Irish Principal’s deferred tax assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.  We concluded that the out-of-period correction is not material to the current or prior quarter condensed consolidated financial statements.

We recorded income tax expense of $12.0 million and $3.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our effective tax rate was (275%) compared to 37% for the same period in the prior year. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a taxablevaluation allowance that was placed on our Irish Principal’s net deferred tax assets and a pre-tax loss for the first threenine months of fiscal 2020 compared to the taxable profitspre-tax income for the same period of fiscal 20192019. The placement of a valuation allowance resulted in additionrecording $10.8 million to the change in jurisdictional mix.income tax expense.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

 

Regulation S-K Item 10(e), “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Commission Filings,” defines and prescribes the conditions for use of non-GAAP financial information. Our measures of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins and non-GAAP pre-tax income and non-GAAP income tax expense on non-GAAP earnings each meet the definition of a non-GAAP financial measure. We define the non-GAAP measures as follows: 

 

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA is GAAP net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA less stock-based compensation expense and the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap.

  

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins - Calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA by total revenue.

 

Non-GAAP pre-tax income - GAAP income before income taxes not including the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangible assets and the change in fair value of the interest rate swap.

 

Non-GAAP income tax expense on non-GAAP earnings - Defined as GAAP tax expense excluding discrete items such as return to provision adjustments, stock-based compensation, rate change impacts, new valuation allowances on new positions and changes in reserves for unrecognized tax benefits.


QAD’s management uses non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the business and believes that presenting non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations as well as useful metrics for monitoring our performance and evaluating it against industry peers. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should be used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure in evaluating the company.

 

QAD non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:


 

Stock-based compensation expense: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP pre-tax income calculations. Although stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with current GAAP and constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense which generally requires cash settlement by QAD, and therefore is not used by us to assess the profitability of our operations. We also believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating results of our peers.

 

Amortization of purchased intangible assets: We amortize purchased intangible assets in connection with our acquisitions. We have excluded the effect of amortization of purchased intangible assets, which include purchased technology, customer relationships, trade names and other intangible assets, from our non-GAAP pre-tax income calculation, because doing so makes internal comparisons to our historical operating results more consistent. In addition, we believe excluding amortization of purchased intangible assets provides a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating results of our peers.

 

Change in fair value of the interest rate swap: We entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate our exposure to the variability of one-month LIBOR for our floating rate debt related to the mortgage of our headquarters. We have excluded the gain/loss adjustments to record the interest rate swap at fair value from our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP pre-tax income calculations. We believe that these fluctuations are not indicative of our operational costs or meaningful in evaluating comparative period results because we currently have no intention of exiting the debt agreement early; and therefore over the life of the debt the sum of the fair value adjustments will be zero.

  

Non-GAAP income tax on non-GAAP earnings:  We disclose non-GAAP income tax on non-GAAP earnings in order to provide a reader with the ability to calculate non-GAAP earnings per share.  Our estimate of non-GAAP income tax expense excludes the tax effect of stock-based compensation and other discrete items.  We believe it is appropriate to exclude discrete items from the non-GAAP income tax expense on non-GAAP earnings calculation because non-GAAP pre-tax income excludes the effect of stock-based compensation; and discrete items are unpredictable and generally are not recognized until incurred.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margins and non-GAAP pre-tax income to the most comparable GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019 and 2018:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

 

Our primary source of cash is from the sale of subscription,subscriptions, licenses, maintenance and professional services to our customers. Our primary use of cash is payment of our operating expenses which mainly consist of employee-related expenses, such as compensation and benefits, as well as general operating expenses for facilities, third-party hosting providers, third party contractors and other overhead costs. In addition to operating expenses, we may also use cash for capital expenditures; payment of dividends, payment of our mortgage, withholding taxes on settlement of stock-based compensation and stock repurchases; and to invest in our growth initiatives, which may include acquisitions of products, technologies and businesses. 

 


At April 30,October 31, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and equivalents totaling $151.0 million, short-term investments of $1.2$133.8 million, and net accounts receivable of $49.0$39.7 million. Our cash and equivalents consisted of current bank accounts, registered money market funds and time delineated deposits. Approximately 87%84% of our cash and equivalents were held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts as of April 30,October 31, 2019.

 

Our primary commercial banking relationship is with Bank of America and its global affiliates. Our largest cash concentrations are in the United States and Ireland. The percentage of cash and equivalents held outside of the United States was 68%73% and 74% as of April 30,October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, respectively. The majority of our cash and equivalents are held in investment accounts which are predominantly placed in money market mutual funds, and in U.S. Treasury and government securities funds. The remaining cash and equivalents and short-term investments are held in deposit accounts and certificates of deposit. 

 

We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to tax in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions.  In addition to providing for U.S. income taxes on earnings from the United States, we provide for U.S. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries’ earnings are considered permanently reinvested outside the United States. 

 

As of the balance sheet date, we intend to permanently reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Should we decide to repatriate these earnings in the future, we would not expect to incur significant additional taxes; however, foreign withholding taxes, currency translation, state taxes and currency control laws must always be considered.  

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the threenine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019 and 2018:

Typical factors affecting our cash provided by operating activities include our level of revenue and earnings for the period; the timing and amount of employee-related compensation payments, vendor payments and tax payments; and the timing and amount of billings and cash collections from our customers, which is our largest source of operating cash flow. Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $14.2$7.7 million and $3.8$15.1 million for the first threenine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increasedecrease in cash flows from operating activities was due primarily to lower net income of $21.9 million partially offset by the positive cash flow effect of changes in accounts receivablenon-cash items (including net change in valuation allowance, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of $6.5 millioninterest rate swap and other liabilities and accounts payableprovision for doubtful accounts/sales adjustments) of $6.6 million, partially offset by lower net income of $4.6$17.9 million.

            

Net cash used in investing activities included capital expenditures of $1.0$4.3 million and $1.1$3.2 million for the first threenine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The increase in capital expenditures primarily relates to leasehold improvements. We continue to monitor our capital spending and do not believe we are delaying critical capital expenditures required to run our business.

 

Net cash used in financing activities primarily consisted primarily of payments of withholding taxes on the settlement of stock-based compensation and payment of dividends. In the first threenine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, we paid withholding taxes of $0.2$3.6 million and $4.1$8.7 million, respectively, on vested restricted stock units and exercised stock appreciation rights. In the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, we made dividend payments of $4.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. On a regular basis the Board of Directors evaluates our ability to continue to pay dividends and the structure of potential future dividend payments.

 

We have historically calculated accounts receivable days’ sales outstanding (“DSO”), using the countback, or last-in first-out, method. This method calculates the number of days of billed revenue represented by the accounts receivable balance as of period end. When reviewing the performance of our entities, DSO under the countback method is used by management. It is management’s belief that the countback method best reflects the relative health of our accounts receivable as of a given quarter-end or year-end because of the cyclical nature of our billings. Our billing cycle includes high annual maintenance renewal billings at year-end that will not be recognized as earned revenue until future periods.

 


DSO under the countback method was 5545 days and 5648 days as of April 30,October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. DSO using the average method, which is calculated utilizing the accounts receivable balance and earned revenue for the most recent quarter, was 5746 days and 5953 days at April 30,October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The aging of our accounts receivable remained consistent when compared with the same period last year. We believe our reserve methodology is adequate, our reserves are properly stated as of April 30,October 31, 2019 and the quality of our receivables remains good.


 

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations or commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business. Cash requirements for items other than normal operating expenses are anticipated for capital expenditures, dividend payments and other equity transactions. We may require cash for acquisitions of new businesses, software products or technologies complementary to our business.

 

We believe that our cash on hand and net cash provided by operating activities will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our current and long-term working capital requirements, debt service, dividend payments and other cash needs for at least the next twelve months.

 

Our revenue, earnings, cash flows, receivables, and payables are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. See Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for further discussion.  

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

 

A summary of future obligations under our various contractual obligations and commitments as of January 31, 2019 was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019. During the quarterthree and nine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019 there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations or commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business.

 

Notes PayablePayable

 

Effective May 30, 2012, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC, our wholly owned limited liability company, entered into a variable rate credit agreement (the “2012 Mortgage”) with Mechanics Bank (formerly Rabobank, N.A.), to refinance a pre-existing mortgage. The 2012 Mortgage has an original principal balance of $16.1 million and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%. One month LIBOR was 2.48%1.88% at April 30,October 31, 2019. The 2012 Mortgage matures in June 2022 and is secured by our headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. In conjunction with the 2012 Mortgage, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into an interest rate swap with Rabobank, N.A.Mechanics Bank. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount of $16.1 million and a schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31% for the entire term of the 2012 Mortgage. The terms of the 2012 Mortgage provide for QAD Ortega Hill, LLC to make net monthly payments of $88,100 consisting of principal and interest and one final payment of $11.7 million. The unpaid balance as of April 30,October 31, 2019 was $13.2$13.0 million.

  

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Foreign Exchange Rates. We have operations in foreign locations around the world and we are exposed to risk resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have experienced significant foreign currency fluctuations during fiscal 2019 and the first threenine months of fiscal 2020 due primarily to the volatility of the euro in relation to the U.S. dollar. The foreign currencies for which we currently have the most significant exposure are the euro, the Mexican peso and Mexican peso.the British pound. Foreign currency exchange rate movements could create a foreign currency gain or loss that could be realized or unrealized for us. Unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies may have an adverse impact on our operations. We did not have any foreign currency forward or option contracts or other foreign currency denominated derivatives or other financial instruments open as of April 30,October 31, 2019.

 

We face two risks related to foreign currency exchange rates—translation risk and transaction risk. Translation risk relates to amounts invested in our foreign operations that are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revenues and expenses in foreign currencies translate into higher or lower revenues and expenses in U.S. dollars as the U.S. dollar weakens or strengthens against other currencies. Furthermore, we have exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations arising from the remeasurement of non-functional currency assets, liabilities and intercompany balances into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. Transaction risk is related to our international subsidiaries holding non-local currency net monetary accounts subject to revaluation into their local currency, which results in realized or unrealized foreign currency gains or losses.

 

For the threenine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately 50% and 54%51%, respectively, of our revenue was generated in foreign currencies. We also incurred a significant portion of our expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, approximately 40%39% and 41%33% for the threenine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Based on a hypothetical 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies, our revenue would be adversely affected by approximately 5% partially offset by a positive effect on our expenses of approximately 4%, and our operating income would be adversely affected by approximately 18%34%.

 


 

For each of the threenine months ended April 30,October 31, 2019 and 2018, foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains totaled $0.3$0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and are included in “Other (income) expense, net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. We performed a sensitivity analysis on the net U.S. dollar and euro-based monetary accounts subject to revaluation that are held by our international subsidiaries and on the non-functional currency assets, liabilities and intercompany balances that are remeasured into U.S. dollars. A hypothetical 10% adverse movement in all foreign currency exchange rates would result in foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses of approximately $2.9$2.2 million.

 

These estimates assume adverse shifts in all foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, which do not always move in the same direction or in the same degrees. Actual results may differ materially from the hypothetical analysis.

 

Interest Rates. We invest our surplus cash in a variety of financial instruments, consisting principally of short-term marketable securities with maturities of less than 90 days at the date of purchase. Our investment securities are held for purposes other than trading. Cash balances held by subsidiaries are invested primarily in registered money market funds with local operating banks. Based on an interest rate sensitivity analysis of our cash and equivalents we estimate that a 10% adverse change in interest rates from the 2019 fiscal year-end rates would not have a material adverse effect on our cash flows or financial condition for the next fiscal year.

 

Our long-term debt is comprised of a loan agreement, secured by real property, which bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%. In conjunction with the loan agreement, we entered into an interest rate swap. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount and schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31%.

  

Our interest rate swap is accounted for using mark-to-market accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap each reporting period are adjusted through earnings, subjecting us to non-cash volatility in our results of operations. We prepared a sensitivity analysis using a modeling technique that measures the change in the fair values arising from a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in levels of interest rates across the entire yield curve, with all other variables held constant. Based upon the results of this analysis a 10% adverse change in interest rates from the April 30,October 31, 2019 rates would cause less than a $0.1 million reduction in our results of operations. We believe it is prudent to hedge the expected volatility of the variable rate mortgage on our corporate headquarters. The swap fixes the interest rate on our mortgage to 4.31% over the entire term of the mortgage and effectively lowers our interest rate from the previous mortgage rate of 6.5%. Although the agreement allows us to prepay the loan and exit the agreement early, we have no intention of doing so. As a result, we will have non-cash adjustments through earnings each reporting period. However, over the term of the mortgage, the net impact of these mark-to-market adjustments on earnings will be zero.

 

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, and are effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 disclosures.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Effective February 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), and all related amendments, which resulted in the modification of certain processes and internal controls related to leases. These included the development of new policies and training, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent limitations of internal controls. QAD’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within QAD have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 


PART II

 

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is not party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, QAD is party, either as plaintiff or defendant, to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
