Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(All amounts are in thousands, except per share data)(unaudited)

(Unaudited)

Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q10-Q to “VASCO,“OneSpan,“company,“Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to VASCO Data Security International,OneSpan Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Note 1 – Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Company

OneSpan Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries design, develop, market and support hardware and software security systems that manage and secure access to information assets. OneSpan has operations in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom (U.K), and the United States (U.S.).

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, our operations are reported as a single operating segment. The chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer who reviews the statement of operations of the Company on a consolidated basis, makes decisions and manages the operations of the Company as a single operating segment.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OneSpan and its subsidiaries and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its effects on domestic and global economies.

We continue to actively address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact globally. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we experienced lengthened sales cycles and supply chain constraints in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. In prior periods, we also experienced reduced demand for certain of our hardware products and software solutions. While we hope that the negative consequences on our business associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will subside, we cannot predict the impact with certainty.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

We have revised amounts reported in previously issued financial statements for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q related to immaterial errors. The errors relate to certain costs directly related to the production and distribution of hardware products. The costs were not properly categorized in prior periods, which led to an understatement of product and license cost of goods sold and an overstatement of sales and marketing expense. There was no impact to previously reported revenue or net income.

We evaluated the aggregate effects of the errors to our previously issued financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and No. 108 and, based upon quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to the previously issued financial statements and disclosures included in our

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OneSpan Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The financial position and results of the operations of the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are charged or credited to other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net. Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregated $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregated $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The financial position and results of our operations in Singapore, Switzerland, and Canada are measured in U.S. Dollars. For these subsidiaries, gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We are in lease agreements that require letters of credit to secure the obligations. The restricted cash related to these letters of credit is recorded in other non-current assets on the same basis asCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in the audited consolidated financial statements,amounts of $0.8 million and include all adjustments, consisting only$0.8 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Sale of normal recurring adjustments, necessaryEquity Method Investment

On January 31, 2022, we sold our equity interest in Promon AS (Promon) for $18.9 million, and recorded the fair presentationgain on sale of $14.8 million in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Promon is a technology company headquartered in Norway that specializes in mobile app security, whose solutions focus largely on Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP).


Prior to January 31, 2022, we held a 17% interest in Promon and applied the equity method of accounting to our investment in Promon because we exercised significant influence, but not controlling interest, in the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of the resultsnet earnings (losses) of the interim periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

Cost of goods sold, gross profit and operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflected in the statements of operations have been revised from amounts previouslyPromon is reported to correct immaterial errors previously disclosed in Note 1, Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Specifically, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, cost of goods sold increased by $2,051 and $5,849 and gross profit and operating expenses each decreased from the respective amounts previously reported by $2,051 and $5,849, respectively.

In addition, in accordance with SEC requirements, revenue is presented in two categories, Product and License Revenue and Service and Other Revenue. Product and License Revenue includes hardware products and software licenses. Service and Other Revenue includes software as a service (“SaaS”) solutions, maintenance and support, and professional services. Additional adjustments were made to present cost of goods sold consistent with these two categories.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, foreign currency transactions resulted in a loss of $273 and $320, respectively, compared to a loss of $110 and a gain of $152 for the same periods in 2016.

Revenue Recognition

Note 3 – Revenue

We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 985‑605, Software – Revenue RecognitionASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”), ASC 985‑605‑25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements, and Staff Accounting Bulletin 104.as described below.

Product and License Revenue includes hardwareDisaggregation of Revenues

The following tables present our revenues disaggregated by major products and software licenses. Servicesservices, geographical region and Other includes software as a service (“SaaS”), maintenance and support, and professional services.

Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.

In multiple-element arrangements, some of our products are accounted for under the software provisions of ASC 985‑605 and others under the provisions that relate to the sale of non-software products.

In our typical multiple-element arrangement, the primary deliverables include:

1.

a client component (i.e., an item that is used by the person being authenticated in the form of either a new standalone hardware device or software that is downloaded onto a device the customer already owns),

2.

host system software that is installed on the customer’s systems (i.e., software on the host system that verifies the identity of the person being authenticated) or licenses for additional users on the host system software, if the host system software had been installed previously, and

3.

post contract support (“PCS”) in the form of maintenance on the host system software or support.

Our multiple-element arrangements may also include other items that are usually delivered prior to the recognition of any revenue and incidental to the overall transaction, such as initialization of the hardware device, customization of the hardware device itself or the packaging in which it is delivered, deployment services where we deliver the device to our customer’s end-use customer or employee and, in some limited cases, professional services to assist with the initial implementation of a new customer.

8


In multiple-element arrangements that include a hardware client device, we allocate the selling price among all elements, delivered and undelivered, based on our internal price lists and the percentage of the selling price of that element, per the price list, to the total of the estimated selling price of all of the elements per the price list. Our internal price lists for both delivered and undelivered elements were determined to be reasonable estimates of the selling price of each element based on a comparison of actual sales made to the price list.

In multiple-element arrangements that include a software client device, we account for each element under the standards of ASC 985‑605 related to software. When software client device and host software are delivered elements, we use the Residual Method (ASC 605‑25) for determining the amounttiming of revenue to recognize for token and software licenses if we have vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) for all of the undelivered elements. Any discount provided to the customer is applied fully to the delivered elements in such an arrangement. VSOE for undelivered elements is established using the “bell curve method.” Under this method, we conclude VSOE exists when a substantial majority of PCS renewals are within a narrow range of pricing. The estimated selling price of PCS items is based on an established percentage of the user license fee attributable to the specific software. In sales arrangements where VSOE of fair value has not been established, revenue for all elements is deferred and amortized over the life of the arrangement.recognition.

For transactions other than multiple-element arrangements, we recognize revenue as follows:

1.

Product and License Revenue: Revenue from the sale of computer security hardware or the license of software is recorded upon shipment or, if an acceptance period is allowed, at the latter of shipment or customer acceptance. No significant obligations or contingencies exist with regard to delivery, customer acceptance or rights of return at the time revenue is recognized.

2.

SaaS: We generate SaaS revenues from our cloud services offerings. SaaS revenues include fees from customers for access to the eSignLive suite of solutions. Our standard customer arrangements generally do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software supporting the cloud-based application service at any time. As such, these arrangements are considered service contracts and revenue is recognized ratably over the service period of the contract.

3.

Maintenance and Support Agreements: Maintenance and support agreements generally call for us to provide software updates and technical support, respectively, to customers. Revenue on maintenance and technical support is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the applicable maintenance and support agreement.

4.

Professional Services: We provide professional services to our customers. Revenue from such services is recognized during the period in which the services are performed.

We recognize revenue from sales to distributors and resellers on the same basis as sales made directly to customers. We recognize revenue when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the revenue is probable.

For large-volume transactions, we may negotiate a specific price that is based on the number of users of the software license or quantities of hardware supplied. The per unit prices for large-volume transactions are generally lower than transactions for smaller quantities and the price differences are commonly referred to as volume-purchase discounts.

All revenue is reported on a net basis, excluding any sales taxes or value added taxes.

Long-term deferred revenue of $7,455 is included in Other long-term liabilities at September 30, 2017.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents are high-quality short term money market instruments and commercial paper, with original maturities of

9


three months or less. Cash is held by a number of U.S. and non-U.S. commercial banks and money market investment funds.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Short term investments consist of bank certificates of deposit and high quality commercial paper with original maturities of more than three and less than twelve months.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The creditworthiness of customers (including distributors and resellers) is reviewed prior to shipment. A reasonable assurance of collection is a requirement for revenue recognition. Verification of credit and/or the establishment of credit limits are part of the customer contract administration process. Credit limit adjustments for existing customers may result from the periodic review of outstanding accounts receivable. The company records trade accounts receivable at invoice values, which are generally equal to fair value.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make payments for goods and services. We analyze accounts receivable balances, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment timing when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on a specific review of all significant past-due accounts. If the financial condition of our customers deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Inventories, net

Inventories, consisting principally of hardware and component parts, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. We write down inventory when it appears that the carrying cost of the inventory may not be recovered through subsequent sale of the inventory. We analyze the quantity of inventory on hand, the quantity sold in the past year, the anticipated sales volume in the form of sales to new customers as well as sales to previous customers, the expected sales price and the cost of making the sale when evaluating the valuation of our inventory. If the sales volume or sales price of a specific model declines significantly, additional write downs may be required.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to seven years. Additions and improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Gains or losses resulting from sales, disposals, or retirements are recorded as incurred, at which time related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.

Long Term Investments

Included in Other Assets are minority equity investments in companies we believe may be beneficial in executing our strategy. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, investments were $4,073. In accordance with ASC 325, the investments are recorded at cost and evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Cost of Goods Sold

Included in product cost of goods sold are direct product costs. Cost of goods sold related to service revenues are primarily costs related to SaaS solutions, including personnel and equipment costs, and personnel costs of employees providing professional services and maintenance and support.

Contract assets relate primarily to multi-year term license arrangements and the design and development of software priorremaining contractual billings. These contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to billing occurs, which is normally over 3-5 years. The contract liabilities primarily relate to the determinationadvance consideration received from customers for subscription and maintenance services. Revenue is recognized for these services over time.

As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of technological feasibility, are expensed as incurred on a project-by-project basis.

Software Development Costs

We capitalize software development costs in accordance with ASC 985‑20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Research costs and software development costs, prior toconsideration for the establishment of technological feasibility, determined based upon the creationeffects of a working model, are expensed as incurred. Our software capitalization policy defines technological feasibility assignificant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a functioning beta test prototype with confirmed manufacturability (a working model), withinpromised product or service to a reasonably predictable range of costs. Additional criteria include receptive customers, or potential customers, as evidenced by interest expressed in a beta test prototype, at some suggested selling price. Our policy is to amortize capitalized costs bycustomer and when the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenuecustomer pays for that product or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic lifeservice will be one year or less.

We monitor our potential income tax exposures as required by ASC 740‑10, Income Taxes.

We have significant foreign tax credit, net operating loss, and other deductible carryforwards in certain jurisdictions available to reduce the liability on future taxable income. A valuation reserve has been provided to offset some of these future benefits because we have not determined that their realization is more likely than not.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our financial instruments were cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The estimated fair value of our financial instruments has been determined using level one inputs as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying amounts at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Accounting for Leases

All of our leases are operating leases. Rent expense on facility leases is charged evenly over the life of the lease, regardless of the timing of actual payments.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Intangible assets arising from business combinations such as acquired technology, customer relationships, and other intangible assets, are originally recorded at fair value. Intangible assets other than patents with definite lives are amortized over the useful life, generally three to seven years for proprietary technology and five to twelve years for customer relationships. Patents are amortized over the life of the patent, generally 20 years in the U.S.

11


Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. We assess the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives each November 30 or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company’s impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The qualitative assessment includes comparing the overall financial performanceend of the reporting units againstperiod.

Costs of obtaining a contract

The Company incurs incremental costs related to commissions, which can be directly tied to obtaining a contract. The Company capitalizes commissions associated with certain new contracts and amortizes the planned results used incosts over a period of benefit based on the last quantitative goodwill impairment test. Additionally, each reporting unit’s fair value is assessed in lighttransfer of certain events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, and other relevant entity- and reporting unit specific events. The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than notgoods or services that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgments and estimates. If it iswe have determined under the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a two-step quantitative impairment test is performed. Under the first step, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement)up to seven years. Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in acquisition accounting. The residual amount after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit under the two-step assessment is determined using a combination of both income and market-based variation approaches. The inputs and assumptions to valuation methods used to estimate the fair value of reporting units involves significant judgments.

During 2017, we determined certain events and circumstances resulted in a change in the composition of our reporting units. Previously, we considered the Company to be two reporting units, the operations of eSignLive and the remainder of our operations. Due to the continued integration of eSignLive operations and changes in management, we now consider the Company to be a single reporting unit. We have not recorded any goodwill impairment charges for the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017. The change in the composition of our reporting units will be reflected in our annual impairment test performed as of November 30.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have stock-based employee compensation plans, described in Note 6. ASC 718‑10, Stock Compensation requires us to estimate the fair value of restricted stock granted to employees, directors and others and to record compensation expense equal to the estimated fair value. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures are recorded as incurred.

Retirement Benefits

We record annual expenses relating to our pension benefit plans based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed asset rates of return, compensation increases, and turnover rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends. The effects of gains, losses, and prior service costs and credits are amortized over the average service life. The funded status, or projected benefit obligation less plan assets, for each plan,amortization is reflected in Sales and Marketing in the Statements of Operations. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration our consolidated balance sheets using a December 31 measurement date.

Warranty

Warrantiescustomer contracts, our technology and other factors, including customer attrition. Commissions are providedearned upon invoicing to the customer. For contracts with multiple year payment terms, as the commissions that are payable after year 1 are payable based on continued employment, they are expensed when incurred. Commissions and amortization expense are included in Sales and Marketing expenses on the salecondensed consolidated statements of certainoperations.

Applying the practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of our productsobtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period for the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in Sales and an accrual for estimated future claims is recorded atMarketing expense in the time revenue is recognized. We estimatecondensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014‑09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014‑09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The standard creates a five-step model to achieve its core principle: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, entities must disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about: (i) the entity’s contracts with customers; (ii) the significant judgments, and changes in judgments, made in applying the guidance to those contracts; and (iii) any assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

ASU 2014‑09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within such annual periods, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) an approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014‑09 recognized at the date of adoption.

In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015‑14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date deferring the new revenue standard one year and allowing adoption as of the original effective date.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which provides guidance on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction and whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which provides guidance on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU No. 2014‑09 and provides practical expedients to simplify the transition to the new standard and clarify certain aspects of the standard.

In December 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU No. 2014‑09.

We are currently evaluating the impact of the new revenue recognition guidance including any impacts on associated processes, systems, and internal controls. Our evaluation includes determining the unit of account (i.e., performance obligations) and standalone selling price of each performance obligation. Standalone selling prices under the new guidance may not be substantially different from our current methodologies of establishing fair value on multiple element arrangements. Based on initial assessments, we have identified certain arrangements where revenue may be recognized earlier as compared to current practice. We expect to recognize term license revenue upon delivery, rather than over the term of the arrangement. We expect to capitalize certain sales commissions upon adoption of the new standard and are currently in the process of evaluating the period over which to amortize these capitalized costs. We continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance and subsequent amendments on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and any preliminary assessments are subject to change. We will adopt this guidance as of the first quarter of 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method.

We adopted ASU 2015‑11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory as of January 1, 2017. ASU 2015‑11 requires measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Adoption of ASU 2015‑11 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016‑02, Leases, which among other things, requires lessees to recognize most leases on balance sheet. ASU 2016‑02 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and mandates a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016‑02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, The FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017‑01 defines a business in the context of a set of transferred assets and activities. ASU 2017‑01 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017‑04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, requiring determination of the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the reporting unit fair value to assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business acquisition. Updated guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2020 and will be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this updated guidance.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost on the income statement by requiring service cost be presented with other employee compensation costs and other components of net periodic pension cost be presented outside of any subtotal of operating income. The ASU also stipulates that only the service costs component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of cash equivalents, receivables, net, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts

due to their short duration. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing base upon its own market assumptions.

The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. In accordance with ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, we review available-for-sale debt securities for impairments related to losses and other factors each quarter. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded to other comprehensive income. The unrealized gains and losses on the available-for-sale debt securities were not material as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The estimated fair value of our financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

Note 511 – Income Taxes

Our estimated annual effective tax rate for 20172022 before discrete items and excluding entities with a valuation allowance is expected to be 40%approximately 23%. ThisOur global effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 34%21% primarily due to valuation allowances on taxable losses, primarily in Canada, partially offset by income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter was 48%. The effective rate in the third quarter was impacted by the mix of earnings in various jurisdictions. nondeductible expenses. Our ultimate tax rateexpense will depend on the mix of earnings in various jurisdictions. Income taxes of $0.3 million were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

As

Management assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a regular basis, weighing all positive and negative evidence to determine whether a deferred tax asset will be fully or partially realized. In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, significant pieces of negative evidence such as 3-year cumulative losses are considered. Management also reviews reversal patterns of temporary differences to determine if the third quarter of 2016, our estimated annual tax rate for 2016 before discrete items was expected to be 28%. The estimated rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarilyCompany would have sufficient taxable income due to income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates, partially offset by valuation allowances on taxable losses. Discrete items relatedthe reversal of temporary differences to changes in estimates upon completionsupport the realization of deferred tax filings and a measurement period adjustment increased the full-year 2016 effective rateassets.

Certain operations have incurred net operating losses (NOLs), which are currently subject to 37%. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was 61%.

At December 31, 2016, we had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $7,027 for future U.S. tax returns. These foreign tax credits expire in 2023 through 2026. We have not provided a valuation reserve forallowance. These NOLs may become deductible to the foreign tax credits asextent these operations become profitable. For each of our operations, we believeevaluate whether it is more likely than not that theythe tax benefits related to NOLs will be realized. As part of this evaluation, we consider evidence such as tax planning strategies, historical operating results, forecasted taxable income, and recent financial performance. In the year that certain operations record a loss, we do not recognize a corresponding tax benefit, thus increasing our effective tax rate, or decreasing our effective tax rate when reporting a loss. Upon determining that it is more likely than not that the NOLs will be realized, we will reduce the tax valuation allowances related to these NOLs, which will result in a reduction of our income tax expense and our effective tax rate in the period.

At December 31, 2016,2021, we had deferred tax assets of $16,655$43.7 million resulting from US, foreign and state NOL carryforwards of $58,110$148.6 million and other foreign deductible carryforwards of $16,817.$97.5 million. At December 31, 2016,2021, we had a valuation allowance of $6,192$31.3 million against deferred tax assets related to certain carryforwards.

Note 713 – Common Stock and Earnings per Share

In connection with the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued 131 total shares of restricted common stock,  120 shares for awards granted (share counts in 2017 and 11 performance shares related to awards provisioned in prior years.thousands)

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and excludes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents to the extent they are not anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the anti-dilutive effect of our securities is immaterial. Because the Company is in a net loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2021, diluted net loss per share for this period excludes the effects of common stock equivalents, which are anti-dilutive.

Note 814 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

DuringWe are a party to or have intellectual property subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the second quarter of 2015, our management became aware that certainordinary course of our products which were sold by our European subsidiary to a third-party distributor may have been resold bybusiness. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary sanctions or relief. We believe the distributor to parties in Iran, potentially including parties whose property and interests in property may be blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13224, Executive Order 13382 orprobability is remote that may be identified under Section 560.304the outcome of 31 C.F.R. Part 560 as the “Government of Iran”.

We ceased shipping to such distributor. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors initiated an internal review of this matter with the assistance of outside counsel. As a precautionary matter, concurrent initial notices of voluntary disclosure were submitted on June 25, 2015 to each of these matters, including the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”).

The Audit Committee with the assistance of outside counsel completed their review in 2015. On December 15, 2015, we filed a letter with BIS (Office of Export Enforcement) with the conclusion that the products supplied to the distributor were not subject to United States Export Control jurisdiction. The Office of Export Enforcement issued a “no action” letter, concluding the voluntary self-disclosure process under the Export Administration Regulations.

16


On January 13, 2016, we filed a letter with OFAC, with the conclusions that VASCO and its subsidiaries made no direct sales to Iran or any party listed by OFAC as a Specially Designated National over the five-year period under review (i.e., June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015). The letter further noted that the investigation did not identify any involvement on the part of senior management officials of VASCO, and to the contrary, noted that VASCO executive management officials had sought to implement procedures and provided notices to VASCO’s sales personnel to prevent the diversion of VASCO products to unauthorized destinations and end users.

We have not received any response to the letter to OFAC and we cannot predict when OFAC will conclude their review of our voluntary self-disclosures. Based upon the OFAC guidelines for monetary penalties, in the fourth quarter of 2015, we accrued $900 for potential penalties if they are assessed by OFAC. Ultimately no penalty may be assessed or the penalty may be less or greater than the accrual, but in any event we do not believe that the final settlementlegal proceedings described below, will have a material adverse impacteffect on the corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our business.

On July 28, 2015 a putative class action complaint was filedfinancial results in any particular interim reporting period. Among the United States District Court forfactors that we consider in this assessment are the Northern Districtnature of Illinois, captioned Linda J. Rossbach v. Vasco Data Security International, Inc.existing legal proceedings and claims, the asserted or possible damages or loss contingency (if estimable), et al., case number 1:15‑cv‑06605, naming VASCO and certain of its current and former executive officers as defendants and alleging violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The suit was purportedly filed on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased VASCO securities between April 28, 2015 and July 28, 2015, and seeks to recover damages allegedly caused by the defendants’ alleged violationsprogress of the federal securities lawscase, existing law and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b)precedent, the opinions or views of legal counsel and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b‑5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint seeks certification as a class action and unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to a September 1, 2015 scheduling order entered by the court, the lead plaintiff, once appointed, will have sixty days to file an amended complaint or notify the defendants that the lead plaintiff intends to rely on the current complaint. On January 30, 2017, the appointed lead plaintiff filed an amended complaintother advisers, our experience in which the allegations regarding OFAC related matters were dropped and replaced with allegations regarding public disclosures made by the defendants in April 2015 as compared to public statements made in July 2015, generally regarding the strength of the Company’s business and its future prospects. This case is now referred to by the name of the new lead plaintiff, Bunk. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Bunk complaint on March 31, 2017. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against the action vigorously. VASCO is indemnifying its officers and directors for this matter.

On October 9, 2015, a derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, captioned Elizabeth Herrera v. Hunt, et al., case number 1:15‑cv‑08937, naming VASCO’s Board of Directors and certain of its current and former executive officers as individual defendantssimilar cases and the Company as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff inexperience of other companies, the Herrera case voluntarily dismissedfacts available to us at the action on July 12, 2017. Two additional complaints, captioned Beth Seltzer v. Hunt, et al., case number 2015‑ch‑15541,time of assessment and William Hooper v. Hunt, et al., case number 2016‑ch‑04054, were filed on October 22, 2015 and March 22, 2016, respectively, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois naming the same defendants.

The complaints assert, among other things, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making material misstatements in, and omitting material information from, the Company’s public disclosures and by failinghow we intend to maintain adequate internal controls and properly manage the Company. Among other things, the complaints seek unspecified compensatory damages and injunctive relief.

On October 29, 2015, a defendant removed the Seltzer actionrespond to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Thereafter, the plaintiff led a motion to remand the action back to the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, which was denied on February 3, 2016. On February 9, 2016, the court granted an agreed motion for voluntary dismissal of the Seltzer action, which dismissed the action with prejudice as to the named plaintiff’s individual claims. As for the Hooper action, the court granted a stay on June 8, 2016 and on July 18, 2017, the plaintiff in Hooper amended the complaint to largely mirror the amended complaint in Bunk.

On July 19, 2017, a derivative complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, captioned Fancesco D’Angelo v. Hunt, et. al., naming VASCO’s Board of Directors and certain former officers as individual

defendantsthe proceeding or claim. Our assessment of these factors may change over time as individual proceedings or claims progress.

Although we cannot predict the outcome of legal or other proceedings with certainty, where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, U.S. GAAP requires us to disclose an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss or make a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. We follow a process in which we seek to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, and the Company asonly if we are unable to make such an estimate do we conclude and disclose that an estimate cannot be made. Accordingly, unless otherwise indicated below in our discussion of legal proceedings, a nominal defendant. This complaint largely follows the allegationsreasonably possible loss or range of loss associated with any individual legal proceeding cannot be estimated.

We include various types of indemnification clauses in the Bunk case. The D’Angelo case has been consolidated with the Hooper case and remains subjectour customer agreements. These indemnifications may include, but are not limited to, stay.

In February 2017, we learned that one of our integrated reseller customers, and certain of its end customers, were named as defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit in Japanclaims related to our CRONTO technology.intellectual property, direct damages and consequential damages. The type and amount of such indemnifications vary substantially based on our assessment of risk and reward associated with each agreement. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification clauses is minimal, and we cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions. We have indemnification obligations0 liabilities recorded for these clauses as of March 31, 2022.

From time to time, we have been involved in favorlitigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our customer and are workingbusiness, such as compensation claims from current or former employees in Europe or commercial disputes with themvendors. We expect that to defend such suit. We believe there are strong grounds to argue that the plaintiff’s patent is invalid andcontinue. Excluding matters specifically disclosed above, we are defending our technology vigorously. However, the outcome of this suitnot a party to any lawsuit or proceeding that, in management’s opinion, is uncertain. If the plaintiff were ablelikely to succeed in this case and impede our ability to sell, and our customers’ ability to use, products utilizing our CRONTO technology, then such result could have a material adverse impacteffect on ourits business, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 15 – Restructuring Plan

In December 2021, the Board approved a restructuring plan (“Plan”) designed to advance the Company’s model, streamline its business, and resultsenhance its capital resources. The first phase began and was substantially completed during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

As part of operations.

On March 14, 2017, a complaint was filedthe first phase of the Plan, we reduced headcount by eliminating positions in certain areas of the Company. The Company incurred severance and related benefits costs, which are recorded in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, captioned StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. v. Vasco Data Security International, Inc., et al., claiming VASCO infringed on certain patent rights of the plaintiff. On May 8, 2017, VASCO answered the complaint denying the allegations of patent infringement. The parties are currently engaged in early motion practice in the case. The plaintiff has also brought suit against various other companies in the cybersecurity industry. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without meritsales and intends to defend itself vigorously.

Note 9 – Related Party

In August 2017, Able N.V. (“Able”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, was sold to an employee of Able for a de minimis amount. The operating results of Able through the date of sale are included in the consolidated financial statementsmarketing, research and are not significant to our consolidated results. In addition, our results for the third quarter include a  loss on sale of approximately $227, recorded withindevelopment, and general and administrative expenses.

Concurrent withexpense financial statement line items in the sale, we provided Able an unsecured line of credit of 1,500 Euro ($1,770 at an exchange rate of $1.18 dollars per Euro). Interest accrues atcondensed consolidated income statement for the rate of 2% per annum. Beginning in August 2017, Able may take advances against the line of credit for a period of eighteen months followed by twelve quarterly repayments. As of September 30, 2017, no amounts have been advanced. In addition, we entered into a transition services agreement with Able whereby we agreed to provide certain administrative services for a period of three months and Able agreed to provide office space and consulting services for an agreed upon periodic fee as long as the services are provided.

VASCO cautions that the forward-looking statements are qualified by important factors thatprove incorrect, could cause actualour results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could materially affect our business and financial results include, but are not limited to: market acceptance of our products and solutions and competitors’ offerings; the potential effects of technological changes; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to contain it; our ability to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances, joint ventures and other portfolio actions; the execution of our transformative strategy on a global scale; the increasing frequency and sophistication of hacking attacks; claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others; changes in customer requirements; price competitive bidding; changing laws, government regulations or policies; pressures on price levels; investments in new products or businesses that may not achieve expected returns; disruption in global transportation and supply chains; reliance on third parties for certain products and data center services, impairment of goodwill or amortizable intangible assets causing a significant charge to earnings; actions of activist stockholders; and exposure to increased economic and operational uncertainties from operating a global business, as well as those factors described in the forward-looking statements.

Outlook and Financial Results

We continue to actively address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact globally. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we experienced lengthened sales cycles and supply chain constraints in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. In prior periods, we also experienced reduced demand for certain of our hardware products and software solutions. While we hope that the negative consequences on our business associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will subside, we cannot predict the impact with certainty.

In the current and future periods, we may experience weaker customer demand, requests for discounts or extended payment terms, customer bankruptcies, supply chain disruption, employee staffing constraints and difficulties, government restrictions or other factors that could negatively impact the Company and its business, operations and financial results.

We believe that we will emerge from these events well positioned for long-term growth, though we cannot reasonably estimate the duration and severity of the pandemic or its ultimate impact on the global economy and our business results. See Part 1 – Item 1A - Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162021 for additional information regarding the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Company.

Restructuring Plan

In December 2021, the Board approved a restructuring plan (“Plan”) designed to advance the Company’s model, streamline its business, and include, but are not limited to, (a) risks of general market conditions, including currency fluctuationsenhance its capital resources. The first phase began and was substantially completed during the uncertainties resulting from turmoil in world economic and financial markets, (b) risks inherent to the computer and network security industry, including rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, increasingly sophisticated hacking attempts, increasing numbers of patent infringement claims, changes in customer requirements, price competitive bidding, and changing government regulations, and (c) risks specific to VASCO, including, demand for our products and services, competition from more established firms and others, pressures on price levels and our historical dependence on relatively few products, certain suppliers and certain key customers. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include the risk that VASCO will not integrate eSignLive into the global business of VASCO successfully and the amount of time and expense spent and incurred in connection with the integration; the risk that the revenue synergies, cost savings and other economic benefits that VASCO anticipates as a resultthree months ended March 31, 2022.

As part of the acquisitionfirst phase of the Plan, we reduced headcount by eliminating positions in certain areas of the Company. The Company incurred severance and related benefits costs, which are not fully realized or take longer to realize than expected. Thus, the results that we actually achieve may differ materially from any anticipated results included in, or implied by these statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the U.S. federal securities laws, we do not have any obligations or intention to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstancesrecorded in the future or to reflectsales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expense financial statement line items in the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Our security solutions are sold worldwide through our direct sales force, as well as through distributors, resellers, systems integrators, and systems integrators.original equipment manufacturers. Our sales force is able to offer each customercustomers a choice of an on-site implementation using our traditional on-premises model or a cloud implementation for some solutions using our services platform.

Our product offerings, including authentication, anti-fraud, and electronic signature solutions, provide a flexible and affordable means of establishing trust in users, their devices, and the transactions that they are conducting. Many of our authentication products calculate dynamic passwords, also known as one-time passwords (“OTP”) that authenticate users logging into applications and onto corporate networks. In addition, our anti-fraud products can be used to enable electronic signatures to protect electronic transactions and the integrity of the contents of such transactions.Industry Growth

Industry Growth: We do not believe that there are accurate measurements of the total industry’s size or the industry’s growth rate. We believe however, the marketmarkets for authentication, anti-fraud,fraud mitigation, agreement automation, and electronic signature solutions will continue to grow, albeit at different rates, driven by new government regulations, growing awareness of the impact of cyber-crime, increasing focus on the digital experience for mobile and online users, remote working and workflow automation, and the growth in commerce transacted electronically.electronic commerce. The issues driving the growth are global issues andglobal; however, the rate of adoption in each country is a function of that country’slocal culture, the competitive position, of businesses operating in that country, the

Economic Conditions:

Our revenue may vary significantly with changes in the economic conditions in the countries in which we currently sell products. With our current concentration of revenue in Europe and specifically in the banking and finance vertical market, significant changes in the economic outlook for the European Bankingbanking market may have a significant effect on our revenue.

There continues to be significant global economic uncertainty, including in Europe, our most important market. While the European Union and European Central Bank continue to implement programs in response to changing economic conditions, Europe continues to struggle with sovereign debt issues and weakening currencies. As a result, Europe may continue to face difficult economic conditions in the remainder of 2017 and into 2018. Should the sovereign debt issue escalate, economic difficulties may negatively impact the global economy and our business.Cybersecurity Risks

During June 2016, voters in the United Kingdom passed a referendum providing for withdrawal from the European Union. While customer revenues from the United Kingdom and transactions denominated in British pounds are not significant, uncertainty surrounding withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union may be a negative influence on normal ordering patterns within the European Banking market.

The European Banking market has been challenged by weak economic conditions and increased regulatory and risk mandates. Strategic priorities of many banks include improving efficiencies, and addressing regulatory and risk issues. To improve efficiencies, many banks have significantly reduced headcount while pursuing enhanced online and mobile customer services. Bank regulation periodically addresses enhanced cyber and data security. We believe our products are well positioned for online and mobile offerings and provide enhanced security, however, economic conditions, reduced headcount, and the transitioning of priorities may cause disruption in normal ordering patterns.

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, revenue from our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region comprised 45% of total revenue compared 52% and 47% for the same periods in 2016.

Cybersecurity:Our use of technology is increasing and is critical in three primary areas of our business:

1.

Software and information systems that we use to help us run our business more efficiently and cost effectively;

2.

OurThe products we have traditionally sold and continue to sell to our customers for integration into customertheir software applications contain technology incorporatingthat incorporates the use of secret numbers and encryption technology; and

3.

ProductsNew products and services that processwe introduced to the market are focused on processing information through our servers (oror in the cloud from our customers’ perspective).

cloud.

We believe that the risks and consequences of potential incidents in each of the above areas are different.

In the case of the information systems we use to help us run our business, we believe that an incident could disrupt our ability to take orders or deliver product to our customers, but such a delay in these activities would not have a material impact on our overall results. To minimize this risk, we actively use various forms of security and monitor the use of our systems regularly to detect potential incidents as soon as possible.

In the case of products integrated into customer software applications,that we have traditionally sold, we believe that the risk of a potential cyber incident is minimal. We offer our customers the ability to either create the secret numbers themselves or have us create the numbers on their behalf. When asked to create the numbers, we do so in a secure environment with limited physical access and store the numbers on a system that is not connected to any other network, including other VASCOOneSpan networks, and similarly, is not connected to the internet.

In the case of our products and services that includecloud-based solutions, which involve the active daily processing of the customer information, on our servers or servers managed by others in a hosted environment, we believe a cyber incident could have a material impact on our future business. We alsoWhile our revenue from cloud-based solutions comprises a minority of our revenue today, we believe that these products may be more susceptible to cyber-attacks than our other products since it involves the active processing of customer information.solutions will provide substantial future growth. A cyber incident involving these productssolutions in the future could substantially impair our ability to grow the business and we could suffer significant monetary and other losses and significant reputational harm.

To minimize the risk, we review our product security and procedures on a regular basis. Our reviews include the processes and software programscode we are currently in useusing as well as new forms of cyber incidentsthe hosting platforms and new or updated software programsprocedures that may be available in the market that would helpwe employ. We mitigate the risk of incidents.cyber incidents through a series of reviews, tests, tools and training. Certain insurance coverages may apply to certain cyber incidents. Overall, we expect the cost of securing our networks will increase in future periods, whether through increased staff, systems or insurance coverage.

While we did not experience any cyber incidents in the first three months of 2022 that had a significant impact on our business, it is possible that we could experience an incident in 2022 or future years, which could result in unanticipated costs.

Currency Fluctuation

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, approximately 88% of our revenue was generated outside of the United States. While the majority of our revenues are generated outside of the United States, a significant amount of

21

our revenue earned during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was denominated in U.S. Dollars. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we estimate that approximately 57% of our revenue was denominated in U.S. Dollars.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, approximately 68% of our operating expenses were incurred outside of the United States. As a result, changes in currency exchange rates, especially the Euro exchange rate and the Canadian Dollar exchange rate, can have a significant impact on revenue and expenses.

In general, to minimize the net impact of currency fluctuations on operating income, we attempt to denominate an amount of billings in a currency such that it would provide a hedge against the operating expenses incurred in that currency. We expect that changes in currency rates may also impact our future results if we are unable to match amounts of revenue with our operating expenses in the same currency. If the amount of our revenue in Europe denominated in Euros continues as it is now or declines, we may not be able to balance fully the exposures of currency exchange rates on revenue and operating expenses.

The financial position and the results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Switzerland, Singapore and Canada, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates generated other comprehensive loss of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates generated other comprehensive loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. These amounts are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The functional currency for our subsidiaries in Switzerland, Singapore and Canada is the U.S. Dollar.

Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net. Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregated $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregated $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Components of Operating Results

Revenue

We generate revenue from the sale of our hardware products, software licenses, subscriptions, maintenance and support, and professional services. We believe comparison of revenues between periods is heavily influenced by the timing of orders and shipments reflecting the transactional nature of significant parts of our business.

Product and license revenue. Product and license revenue includes hardware products and software licenses, which can be provided on a perpetual or term basis.
Service and other revenue. Service and other revenue includes subscription solutions (which is our definition of software-as-a-service solutions), maintenance and support, and professional services.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our total cost of goods sold consists of cost of product and license revenue and cost of service and other revenue. We expect our cost of goods sold to increase in absolute dollars as our business grows, although it may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue from period to period.

Cost of product and license revenue. Cost of product and license revenue primarily consists of direct product and license costs.
Cost of service and other revenue. Cost of service and other revenue primarily consists of costs related to subscription solutions, including personnel and equipment costs, and personnel costs of employees providing professional services and maintenance and support.

22

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, or gross margin, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including our average selling price, manufacturing costs, the mix of products sold, and the mix of revenue among products, subscriptions and services. We expect our gross margins to fluctuate over time depending on these factors.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are generally based on anticipated revenue levels and fixed over short periods of time. As a result, small variations in revenue may cause significant variations in the period-to-period comparisons of operating income or operating income as a percentage of revenue.

Generally, the most significant factor driving our operating expenses is headcount. Direct compensation and benefit plan expenses generally represent between 55% and 65% of our operating expenses, respectively. In addition, a number of other expense categories are directly related to headcount. We attempt to manage our headcount within the context of the economic environments in which we operate and the investments we believe we need to make for our infrastructure to support future growth and for our products to remain competitive.

Historically, operating expenses have been impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. We estimate the change in currency rates in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 resulted in a decrease in operating expenses of approximately $1.1 million.

The comparison of operating expenses can also be impacted significantly by costs related to our stock-based and long-term incentive plans. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $1.4 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively of expenses related to stock-based and long-term incentive plan costs compared to $1.3 million and $0.2 million of stock-based and long-term incentive plan cost for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was favorably impacted by the forfeiture of unvested awards by certain severed sales management and executive management during the periods, offset by new grants.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, commissions and bonuses, trade shows, marketing programs and other marketing activities, travel, outside consulting costs, and long-term incentive compensation. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in sales resources in key focus areas, although our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and long-term incentive compensation. We expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in our future solutions, although our research and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, legal and other professional fees, and long term incentive compensation. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars although our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
Amortization of intangible assets. Acquired intangible assets are amortized over their respective amortization periods, and are periodically evaluated for impairment.

Interest Income, Taxes: Net

Interest income, net consists of income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short term investments. Our cash equivalents and short term investments are invested in short-term instruments at current market rates.

23

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net primarily includes exchange gains (losses) on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries’ functional currencies, subsidies received from foreign governments in support of our research and development in those countries and other miscellaneous non-operational expenses.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate reflects our global structure related to the ownership of our intellectual property (“IP”). All our IP in our traditional authentication business is owned by two subsidiaries, one in the U.S. and one in Switzerland. These two subsidiaries have entered into agreements with most of the other VASCOOneSpan entities under which those other entities provide services to our U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries on either a percentage of revenue or on a cost plus basis or both. Under this structure, the earnings of our service provider subsidiaries are relatively constant. These service provider companies tend to be in jurisdictions with higher effective tax rates. Fluctuations in earnings tend to flow to the U.S. company and the Swiss company. EarningsIn 2022, earnings flowing to the U.S. company are expected to be taxed at a rate of 35%21% to 40%25%, while earnings flowing to the Swiss company are expected to be taxed at a rate ranging from 10%11% to 12%15%, plus Swiss federal withholding tax of an additional 5%. OurA Canadian and UK subsidiary currently sellssell to and services directly toservice global customers.customers directly. In addition, many of our OneSpan entities operate as distributors for all of our OneSpan products.

With

As the majority of our revenues beingare generated outside of the U.S., our consolidated effective tax rate is strongly influenced by the effective tax rate of our foreign operations. Changes in the effective rate related to foreign operations reflect changes in the geographic mix of where the earnings are realized and the tax rates in each of the countries in which it is earned. The statutory tax ratesrate for the primary foreign tax jurisdictions rangeranges from 8%11% to 34%35%.

The geographic mix of earnings of our foreign subsidiaries will primarily dependdepends on the level of pretax income of our service provider subsidiaries’ pretax income, which is recorded as an expense by the U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries and the benefit that is realized in the U.S. and Switzerland through the sales of product. The level of pretax income in our service provider subsidiaries is expected to vary based on:

1.

the staff, programs and services offered on a yearly basis by the various subsidiaries as determined by management, or

2.

the changes in exchange rates related to the currencies in the service provider subsidiaries, or

3.

the amount of revenues that the service provider subsidiaries generate.

For items 1 and 2 above, there is a direct impact in the opposite direction on earnings of the U.S. and Swiss entities. Any change from item 3 is generally expected to result in a larger change in income in the U.S. and Swiss entities in the direction of the change (increased revenues expected to result in increased margins/pretax profits and conversely decreased revenues expected to result in decreased margins/pretax profits).

In addition to the provision of services, the intercompany agreements transfer the majority of the business risk to our U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries. As a result, the contracting subsidiaries’ pretax income is reasonably assured while the pretax income of the U.S. and Swiss subsidiaries varies directly with our overall success in the market.

In November 2015, we acquired eSignLive,OneSpan Canada Inc. (formerly eSignLive), a foreign company with substantial IP and net operating losses and other tax carryforwards. The tax benefit of the carryforwards net of deferred tax liabilities, has been fully reserved as realization has not been deemed more likely than not.

In May 2018, we acquired Dealflo Limited (“Dealflo”), a foreign company with substantial IP and net operating losses. The tax benefit of existing loss carryforwards at the time of acquisition was not recorded as the Company determined they were not more likely than not to be realized.

2224


Management assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a regular basis, weighing all positive and negative evidence to determine whether a deferred tax asset will be fully or partially realized. In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, significant pieces of negative evidence such as 3-year cumulative losses are considered.

Total revenue increased $1.7 million or 3%, during the third quarterthree months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven primarily by a $6.3 million or 22% increase in recurring revenue, partially offset by a $2.3 million or 13% decrease in hardware revenue and first nine months of 2017, approximately 76% and 77%, respectively,a $1.8 million or 65% decrease in perpetual software license revenue. Recurring revenue is the portion of our revenue subject to future renewal and is comprised of subscription, term-based software licenses, and maintenance, support and other revenue.

Product and license revenue increased by $1.0 million or 4% during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven by higher software license sales of $3.4 million, partially offset by lower hardware revenue of $2.3 million or 13%. Lower hardware revenue was generated outsidepartially driven by shipping delays related to disruptions in global transportation and supply chains.

Services and other revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 3% during the United States. Whilethree months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the majoritythree months ended March 31, 2021, which was primarily driven by a $1.7 million or 20% increase in subscription revenue, partially offset by reductions in professional services and maintenance, support, and other revenue of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

We believe comparison of revenues between periods is heavily influenced by the timing of orders and shipments reflecting the transactional nature of significant parts of our revenues are generated outside of the United States, the majority of our revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 was denominated in U.S. Dollars. We estimate that 67% and 65% of our revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 were denominated in U.S. Dollars. In addition, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, approximately 81% and 76%, respectively, of our operating expenses were incurred outside of the United States.business. As a result changesof the volatility in currency exchange rates, especiallyour business, we believe that the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate andoverall strength of our business is best evaluated over a longer term where the Canadian Dollar to U.S. Dollar exchange rate, can have a significant impact on revenue and expenses.

In general, to minimize the net impact of currency fluctuations on operating income, we attempt to denominate an amount of billingstransactions in any given period is not as significant as in a currency such that it would provide a hedge against the operating expenses being incurred in that currency. We expect that changes in currency rates may also impact our future results if we are unable to match amounts of revenue with our operating expenses in the same currency. If the amount of our revenue denominated in Euros continues as it is now or declines, we do not expect that we will be able to balance fully the exposures of currency exchange rates on revenue and operating expenses.quarter-over-quarter comparison.

The Euro, on average, strengthened against the U.S. dollar approximately 5% for the third quarter and weakened 0.3% for the first nine months of 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016. We estimate that the change in currency rates in 2017 compared to 2016 resulted in an increase in revenue of approximately $903 and a decrease of $195 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 and an increase in operating expenses of approximately$576 for the quarter and a decrease of  $576 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016.

The financial position and the results of operations of most of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Canada, Switzerland and Singapore, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates generated other comprehensive income of $1,203 and $3,633 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, and other comprehensive income of $7 and loss of $425 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016. These amounts are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The functional currency for our subsidiaries in Canada, Switzerland and Singapore is the U.S. Dollar.

Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net. Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregating $273 in the third quarter of 2017 compare to losses of $110 in the third quarter of 2016. Foreign exchange transaction losses aggregating $320 in the first nine months of 2017 compare to transaction gains of $152 in the first nine months of 2016.

The increase in cost of 2016. Theservices and other revenue decline for first nine monthsis reflective of 2017 was attributed to lower hardware revenues.higher subscription revenue, which has increased cloud-based infrastructure costs.

We believe comparison of revenues between periods is heavily influenced by the timing of orders and shipments reflecting the transactional nature of our business. As a result of the volatility in our business, we believe our business is best evaluated over a longer term where the impact of transactions in any given period is not as significant as in a quarter-over-quarter comparison.

Gross Profit

Gross profitMarch 31, 2022, compared to 67% for the quarterthree months ended September 30, 2017 was $36,646, an increase of $6,596, or 22%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross profit margin) was 72% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 69% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2021. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenuemargins for the third quarter of 2017 compared to 2016 primarily reflects an increase in software solutions as a percentage of total revenues.

Gross profit for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 was $98,606,March 31, 2022 reflects a decrease of $99, from the comparable periodshift in 2016. Gross profit as a percentage ofproduct mix to increased term-based software and subscription revenue (gross profit margin) was 71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the first nine months of 2017 compared to 2016 primarily reflects an increase in software solutions as a percentage of total revenues.lower hardware revenue.

The majority of our inventory purchases are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Our sales are denominated in various currencies including the Euro. As the U.S. Dollar weakened against the Euro in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, revenue from sales in Euros increased, as measured in U.S. Dollars, without a corresponding change in cost of goods sold. The impact of changes in currency rates are estimated to have increased revenue by approximately $903 in the third quarter of 2017. Had currency rates in the third quarter of 2017 been equal to rates in the same period in 2016, the gross profit margin would have been approximately 0.5 percentage points lower for the third quarter of 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as the U.S. Dollar strengthened against the Euro compared to the same periods of 2016, revenue from sales in Euros, as measured in U. S. Dollars, decreased, without a corresponding change in the cost of goods sold. The impact of changes in currency rates are estimated to have decreased revenue by approximately $195$1.6 million for the first ninethree months of 2017.ended March 31, 2022. Had currency rates in 20172021 been equal to rates in the same period in 2016,2021, the gross profit margin would have been approximately 0.043 percentage pointspoint higher for the first nine months of 2017.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are generally based on anticipated revenue levels and are fixed over short periods of time. As a result, small variations in revenue may cause significant variations in quarter-to-quarter comparisons of operating income or operating income as a percentage of revenue.

Generally, the most significant factor driving our operating expenses is headcount. Direct compensation and benefit plan expenses generally represent between 55% and 65% of our operating expenses. In addition, a number of other expense categories are directly related to headcount. We attempt to manage our headcount within the context of the economic environments in which we operate and the investments we believe we need to make for our infrastructure to support future growth and for our products to remain competitive. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, average headcount was 1% lower and 4% higher, respectively, than the same periods in 2016.

Historically, operating expenses can be impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. As noted above, we estimate that the change in currency rates in 2017 compared to 2016 resulted in an increase in operating expenses of approximately$576 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and a decrease of $576 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016.March 31, 2022.

The comparison of operating expenses can also be impacted significantly by costs related to our stock-based and long-term incentive plans.

Operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $1,267 and $3,199, respectively, of expense related to the stock-based and long-term incentive plans compared to $1,579 and $5,457 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.Expenses

The increase in tax expense in 2017 from 2016$0.5 million for the third quarter is primarily due to higher pretax income in the third quarter of 2017.three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in tax expense in 2017 from 2016recorded for the ninethree months isended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to lower pretax income, partially offset by discrete items related to changes in estimates upon completion of tax filings and a measurement period adjustment in 2016.

Our estimated annual tax rate for 2017 before discrete items is expected to be 40%.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014‑09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014‑09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. The standard creates a five-step model to achieve its core principle: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In addition, entities must disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue andOur cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about: (i) the entity’s contracts with customers; (ii) the significant judgments,as follows:

Operating Activities

Cash generated by operating activities is primarily comprised of net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, and changes in judgments, madeoperating assets and liabilities. Non-cash adjustments consist primarily of amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property and equipment, deferred tax benefit, and stock-based compensation. We expect cash inflows from operating activities to be affected by increases or decreases in applyingsales and timing of collections. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for personnel costs. We expect cash outflows from operating activities to be affected by increases in personnel cost as we grow our business.

For the guidancethree months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $3.7 million, compared to those contracts;net cash provided by operating activities of $3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

2021 was driven by the timing of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflectingpurchases and maturities of our short term investments, as well as property and equipment purchases.

Financing Activities

For the standardthree months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in each prior reportingfinancing activities was $0.6 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease is driven by lower tax payments for restricted stock issuances.

Critical Accounting Policy

Our accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) an approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014‑09 recognized at the date of adoption.

28


In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015‑14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date deferring the newended March 31, 2022. We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue standard one year and allowing adoption as of the original effective date.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016‑08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which provides guidance on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction and whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which provides guidance on identifying performance obligationsrecognition, credit losses, and accounting for licenses of intellectual property.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU No. 2014‑09 and provides practical expedients to simplify the transition to the new standard and clarify certain aspects of the standard.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which makes narrow-scope amendments to ASU No. 2014‑09.

We are currently evaluating the impact of the new revenue recognition guidance including any impacts on associated processes, systems, and internal controls. Our evaluation includes determining the unit of account (i.e., performance obligations) and standalone selling price of each performance obligation. Standalone selling prices under the new guidance may not be substantially different from our current methodologies of establishing fair value on multiple element arrangements. Based on initial assessments, we have identified certain arrangements where revenue may be recognized earlier as compared to current practice. We expect to recognize term license revenue upon delivery, rather than over the term of the arrangement. We expect to capitalize certain sales commissions upon adoption of the new standard and are currently in the process of evaluating the period over which to amortize these capitalized costs. We continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance and subsequent amendments on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and any preliminary assessments are subject to change. We will adopt this guidance as of the first quarter of 2018 using the cumulative effect transition method.

We adopted ASU 2015‑11, Inventory (Topic 330) – Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory as of January 1, 2017. ASU 2015‑11 requires measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Adoption of ASU 2015‑11 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016‑02, Leases, which among other things, requires lessees to recognize most leases on balance sheet. ASU 2016‑02 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and mandates a modified retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016‑02 on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, The FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017‑01 defines a business in the context of a set of transferred assets and activities. ASU 2017‑01 is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017‑04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, requiring determination of the implied fair value of goodwill by allocating the reporting unit fair value to assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business acquisition. Updated guidance requires goodwill impairment equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the respective reporting unit. Updated guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2020 and will be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this updated guidance.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost on the income statement by requiring service cost be presented with other employee compensation costs and other components of net periodic pension cost be presented outside of any subtotal of operating income. The ASU also stipulates that only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements.taxes.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, our management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three and nine months ended September 30,  2017.March 31, 2022. For additional information, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

Item 4.4 - Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participationManagement’s Evaluation of our Chief Executive OfficerDisclosure Controls and Chief Financial Officer, who, respectively, are our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of ourProcedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rule 13a‑15(e)13a-15(e) and Rule 15d‑15(e)15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,1934), as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures that are designed to ensure (i) thethat information required to be disclosed by us in ourits reports that we filefiled or submitsubmitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’sCommission's rules and forms, and (ii)that such information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to ourthe Company’s management, including ourits principal executive officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions,officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its principal executive officer and principal interim financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officerthe Company’s principal executive officer and Chief Financial Officerprincipal financial officer concluded that due to the material weaknessCompany's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in ourInternal Controls

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below and further in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017.

Changes in Internal Controls

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016, management identified control deficiencies that constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. The deficiencies related to the acquisition and integration of Silanis Technology, Inc.

The Company has implemented additional controls and is in the process of executing a remediation plan. Management expects remediation of the material weakness will be completed in fiscal year 2017.

Subject to the foregoing, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended September 30, 2017 which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a‑15 and 15d‑15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting due to COVID-19. We are continually monitoring and assessing the effects of COVID-19 on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.

30


Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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 a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In additionWe are a party to or have intellectual property subject to litigation and other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These types of matters could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary sanctions or relief. We believe the probability is remote that the outcome of each of these matters, including the legal mattersproceedings described below, we are, from time to time, involved in routine legal matters incidental to the conduct of our business, including legal matters such as to protect our intellectual property rights and resolve employment claims. We believe that the ultimate resolution of any such current routine matter will not have a material adverse effect on the corporation as a whole, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on our continued financial position, results in any particular interim reporting period.

We cannot predict the outcome of operationslegal or cash flows.

On January 10, 2011, we purchasedother proceedings with certainty, including the legal proceedings which are summarized in “Note 14 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies” included in our wholly-owned subsidiary, DigiNotar B.V., a private company organizedNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, incorporated herein by reference, and existing“Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies” in The Netherlands from the shareholders (“Sellers”). On September 19, 2011, DigiNotar B.V. filed a bankruptcy petition under Article 4 of the Dutch Bankruptcy Act in the Haarlem District Court, The Netherlands. On September 20, 2011, the court declared DigiNotar B.V. bankrupt and appointed a bankruptcy trustee and a bankruptcy judge to manage all affairs of DigiNotar B.V. through the bankruptcy process. The trustee took over management of DigiNotar B.V.’s business activities and is responsibleour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the administration and liquidation of DigiNotar B.V. In connection with the bankruptcy of DigiNotar B.V., subsequent to September 20, 2011, a number of claims and counter-claims wereyear ended December 31, 2021 filed with the courtsU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Any reasonably possible material loss or range of loss associated with any individual legal proceeding that can be estimated, is provided in The Netherlands (collectively, the “Court”) related to discontinued assets and discontinued liabilities and other available remedies.

In January 2015, we received a notice of potential claim by the trustee against all of the individuals who served as Directors of DigiNotar, both before and after our acquisition of DigiNotar. T. Kendall Hunt, Jan Valcke, and Clifford K. Bown were the Directors of DigiNotar following its purchase by VASCO. The basis for the potential claim from the trustee appears to be based primarily on the same arguments that VASCO presented in its case against the sellers, which were adjudicated in VASCO’s favor. While we believe that we have strong defenses against the claim, we have also notified our provider of director and officer insurance should a claim be filed and we do not expect the resolution of the potential claim to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. VASCO is indemnifying Messrs. Hunt, Valcke, and Bown for this matter.

On July 28, 2015 a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, captioned Linda J. Rossbach v. Vasco Data Security International, Inc., et al., case number 1:15‑cv‑06605, naming VASCO and certain of its current and former executive officers as defendants and alleging violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The suit was purportedly filed on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased VASCO securities between April 28, 2015 and July 28, 2015, and seeks to recover damages allegedly caused by the defendants’ alleged violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b‑5 promulgated thereunder. The

31


complaint seeks certification as a class action and unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to a September 1, 2015 scheduling order entered by the court, the lead plaintiff, once appointed, will have sixty days to file an amended complaint or notify the defendants that the lead plaintiff intends to rely on the current complaint. On January 30, 2017, the appointed lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint in which the allegations regarding OFAC related matters were dropped and replaced with allegations regarding public disclosures made by the defendants in April 2015 as compared to public statements made in July 2015, generally regarding the strength of the Company’s business and its future prospects. This case is now referred to by the name of the new lead plaintiff, Bunk. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Bunk complaint on March 31, 2017. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against the action vigorously. VASCO is indemnifying its officers and directors for this matter.

On October 9, 2015, a derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, captioned Elizabeth Herrera v. Hunt, et al., case number 1:15‑cv‑08937, naming VASCO’s Board of Directors and certain of its current and former executive officers as individual defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. The plaintiff in the Herrera case voluntarily dismissed the action on July 12, 2017. Two additional complaints, captioned Beth Seltzer v. Hunt, et al., case number 2015‑ch‑15541, and William Hooper v. Hunt, et al., case number 2016‑ch‑04054, were filed on October 22, 2015 and March 22, 2016, respectively, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois naming the same defendants.

The complaints assert, among other things, that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making material misstatements in, and omitting material information from, the Company’s public disclosures and by failing to maintain adequate internal controls and properly manage the Company. Among other things, the complaints seek unspecified compensatory damages and injunctive relief.

On October 29, 2015, a defendant removed the Seltzer actionNote 14 to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Thereafter, the plaintiff filed a motion to remand the action back to the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, which was denied on February 3, 2016. On February 9, 2016, the court granted an agreed motion for voluntary dismissal of the Seltzer action, which dismissed the action with prejudice as to the named plaintiff’s individual claims. As for the Hooper action, the court granted a stay on June 8, 2016 and on July 18, 2017, the plaintiff in Hooper amended the complaint to largely mirror the amended complaint in Bunk.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

On July 19, 2017, a derivative complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, captioned Fancesco D’Angelo v. Hunt, et. al., naming VASCO’s Board of Directors and certain former officers as individual defendants and the Company as a nominal defendant. This complaint largely follows the allegations in the Bunk case. The D’Angelo case has been consolidated with the Hooper case and remains subject to stay.

In February 2017, we learned that one of our integrated reseller customers, and certain of its end customers, were named as defendants in a patent infringement lawsuit in Japan related to our CRONTO technology. We have indemnification obligations in favor of our customer and are working with them to defend such suit. We believe there are strong grounds to argue that the plaintiff’s patent is invalid and we are defending our technology vigorously. However, the outcome of this suit is uncertain. If the plaintiff were able to succeed in this case and impede our ability to sell, and our customers’ ability to use, products utilizing our CRONTO technology, then such result could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

On March 14, 2017, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, captioned StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. v. Vasco Data Security International, Inc., et al., claiming VASCO infringed on certain patent rights of the plaintiff. On May 8, 2017, VASCO answered the complaint denying the allegations of patent infringement. The parties are currently engaged in motion practice and discovery in the case. The plaintiff has also brought suit against various other companies in the cybersecurity industry. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously.

Item 5. Other Information.

During the second quarter of 2015, our management became aware that certain of our products which were sold by our European subsidiary to a third-party distributor may have been resold by the distributor to parties in Iran, potentially including parties whose property and interests in property may be blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13224, Executive Order 13382 or that may be identified under Section 560.304 of 31 C.F.R. Part 560 as the “Government of Iran”.

We ceased shipping to such distributor. In addition, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors initiated an internal review of this matter with the assistance of outside counsel. As a precautionary matter, concurrent initial notices of voluntary disclosure were submitted on June 25, 2015 to each of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”).

The Audit Committee with the assistance of outside counsel has completed their review. On December 15, 2015, we filed a letter with BIS (Office of Export Enforcement) with the conclusion that the products supplied to the distributor were not subject to United States Export Control jurisdiction. The Office of Export Enforcement issued a “no action” letter, concluding the voluntary self-disclosure process under the Export Administration Regulations.

In addition, on  January 13, 2016, we filed a letter with OFAC, with the conclusions that VASCO and its subsidiaries made no direct sales to Iran or any party listed by OFAC as a Specially Designated National over the five-year period under review (i.e., June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015). The letter further noted that the investigation did not identify any involvement on the part of senior management officials of VASCO, and to the contrary, noted that VASCO executive management officials had sought to implement procedures and provided notices to VASCO’s sales personnel to prevent the diversion of VASCO products to unauthorized destinations and end users.

We have not received any response to the letter to OFAC and we cannot predict when OFAC will conclude their review of our voluntary self-disclosures. Based upon the OFAC guidelines for monetary penalties, in the fourth quarter of 2015, we accrued $900 for potential penalties if they are assessed by OFAC. Ultimately no penalty may be assessed or the penalty may be less or greater than the accrual, but in any event we do not believe that the final settlement will have a material adverse impact on our business.
