1. Description of Business

Coupons.com Incorporated (the “Company”) operates a leading digital promotion platform that connects great brands and retailers with consumers. Many brands from leading consumer packaged goods companies (“CPGs”) and grocery, drug and mass merchandise retailers use the Company’s promotion platform to engage consumers at the critical moments when they are choosing which products they will buy and where they will shop. The Company delivers digital coupons, including coupons and coupon codes, through its platform which includes web, mobile and social channels, as well as those of the Company’s CPGs, retailers and its extensive network of publishers. Consumers select coupons by either printing them for physical redemption at retailers or saving them to retailer online accounts for automatic digital redemption. The Company also delivers integrated advertising through its platform.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on March 7, 2014 (“Prospectus”).

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in the Prospectus that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Initial Public Offering

In March 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it issued and sold 12,075,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $179.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $13.5 million, but before deducting offering expenses of $5.4 million. In addition, in connection with the IPO:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates, and such differences may be material to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows (in thousands):

 

 

Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

4. Provision for Doubtful Accounts

The summary of activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows (in thousands):

6. Acquisition of Yub, Inc.

On January 2, 2014, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Yub, Inc. (“Yub”), a company that allows consumers to link digital offers and promotions to payment cards for savings when they use the cards for in-store purchases. The total acquisition consideration of $10.1 million, which consisted of 1,000,040 shares of the Company’s common stock, was based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock of $10.05 per share. The acquisition of YUB provides the Company with developed technologies and enhanced workforce. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were determined using discounted cash flow models. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair values of

the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies from combined operations and acquired company’s knowhow.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):

 

 

Acquisition related costs of $376,000 were expensed as general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. The results of operations of Yub have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date. The pro forma impact of this acquisition on consolidated revenues, loss from operations and net loss was immaterial.

The Company amortizes intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives. The following table presents the details of the identifiable intangible assets acquired in connection with the Yub acquisition (in thousands):

8. Debt Obligations

2013 Credit and Security Agreement

In September 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a commercial bank to establish an accounts receivable based revolving line of credit. The maximum amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility is the lesser of $25,000,000 (which can be increased to $30,000,000 if certain conditions are met) or an amount equal to 85% of certain eligible accounts, which excludes accounts that are over 60 days outstanding from the original due date. The revolving line of credit has a maturity date of September 30, 2016 and may be repaid and redrawn at any time prior to the maturity date. Interest is charged at a floating interest rate based on the daily three month LIBOR, plus a 2.75% applicable margin. Interest was 3.0% at March 31, 2014. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility equal to 0.25% per annum. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $7,500,000 was outstanding under the revolving line of credit. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, and is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants, including financial reporting at certain specified intervals. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants under the credit and security agreement.

2012 Note Payable, Related Party

In October 2012, the Company borrowed $15,000,000 from one of its stockholders by entering into a subordinated note arrangement. The note is subordinated to other senior debt. The note has a stated interest rate of 4.00% per annum, and the principal and accrued interest are due in a lump-sum payment on October 5, 2014. Accrued interest related to the related party debt obligation is included in debt obligations, related party on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the note, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.03 per share. In February 2014, the warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock was exercised.

 

9. Stock-based Compensation

2013 Equity Incentive Plan

In October 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which became effective in March 2014 and serves as the successor to the Company’s 2006 Stock Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Pursuant to the 2013 Plan, 4,000,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for grant, plus (1) any shares that were reserved and available for issuance under the 2006 Plan at the time the 2013 Plan became effective, and (2) any shares that become available upon forfeiture or repurchase by us under the 2006 Plan and 2000 Plan. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance shares and units to employees, directors and consultants.

Stock Options

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant for the periods presented using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions:

 

 

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $8.60 and $1.80 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The fair value of RSUs equals the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The RSUs have a contractual term of seven years and vest upon the satisfaction of both a service condition and a liquidity-event condition. The service condition is satisfied as to 25% of the RSUs on each of the first four anniversaries of the vesting commencement date. The liquidity-event condition is satisfied upon the earlier of (i) six months after the effective date of the IPO or (ii) March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the IPO was declared effective; and (iii) the time immediately prior to the consummation of a change in control. The vesting condition that will be satisfied six months following the Company’s IPO does not affect the expense attribution period for the RSUs for which the service condition has been met as of the date of the Company’s IPO. This six-month period is not a substantive service condition and, accordingly, beginning on the effectiveness of the Company’s IPO in March  2014, we recognized a cumulative stock-based compensation expense for the portion of the RSUs that had met the service condition as of the date of the Company’s IPO.  

12

---

A summary of the Company’s stock option and RSUs award activity under the Plan is as follows:

 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value disclosed in the table above is based on the difference between the exercise price of the options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock.

The aggregate total fair value of shares which vested during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,005,000 and $1,584,000, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which became effective in March 2014, pursuant to which 1,200,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for future issuance. Eligible employees can enroll and elect to contribute up to 15% of their base compensation through payroll withholdings in each offering period, subject to certain limitations. Each offering period is six months in duration, with the exception of the initial offering period which commenced in March 2014 and ends in November 2014. The purchase price of the stock is the lower of 85% of the fair market value on (a) the first day of the offering period or (b) the purchase date.

The fair value of the option feature is estimated using the Black-Scholes model for the period presented based on the following assumptions:

Stock-based Compensation Expense

The following table sets forth the total stock-based compensation expense resulting from RSUs, stock options and ESPP included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

 

 

As of March 31, 2014, there was $19,195,000 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense (net of estimated forfeitures), of which $11,310,000 is related to stock options and ESPP shares and $7,885,000 is related to RSUs. The total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and ESPP as of March 31, 2014 will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. The total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs as of March 31, 2014 will be amortized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

The amount of stock-based compensation cost capitalized in property and equipment, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets was immaterial for all periods presented.

 

10. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Immediately prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, all of the Company’s outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 41,580,507 shares of common stock.

 

11. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Reverse Stock Split

In February 2014, the Company’s board approved an amendment to the restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 2.5-for-1 reverse stock split of its capital stock. All share and per share information for all periods presented has been adjusted to reflect the effect of such reverse stock split.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

In March 2014, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which became effective immediately following the completion of the Company’s IPO. Under the restated certificate of incorporation, the authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which the Company may issue in the future. Subject to the foregoing, for as long as such stock is outstanding, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on any matter to be voted upon by stockholders. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation establishes a classified board of directors that is divided into three classes with staggered three year terms. Only the directors in one class will be subject to election at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the directors in other classes continuing for the remainder of their three year terms. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Preferred Stock. The board of directors is authorized to issue undesignated preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval and to determine for each such series of preferred stock the voting powers, designations, preferences, and special rights, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions as permitted by law, in each case without further vote of action by the stockholders. The board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or

14

---

action by the stockholders. The board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

Amendment. The amendment of the provisions in the restated certificate requires approval by holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

 

12. Income Taxes

The Company recorded a net income tax benefit of $244,000, and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The benefit from income taxes during the first quarter of 2014 is due to acquired net deferred tax liabilities as part of the Yub acquisition.  These additional deferred tax liabilities create a new source of taxable income, which requires the release of a portion of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance with a related reduction in income tax expense.

 

13. Net Loss per Share

The computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

 

 

The outstanding common equivalent shares excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive are as follows (in thousands):

 

 

 

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases office space under noncancelable operating leases with lease terms ranging from one to five years. Additionally, the Company leases certain equipment under noncancelable operating leases at its facilities and its leased data center operations.

15

---

Aggregate Future Contractual Obligations and Lease Commitments

As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s minimum payments under its noncancelable operating and capital leases are as follows (in thousands):

 

 

Other Future Commitments

The Company has long-term commitments related to technology development and support for the years 2014 to 2016 in the amount of $8,598,000.

The Company also has other long-term commitments for the years 2014 to 2034 in the amount of $7,629,000 for marketing arrangements.

During 2013, the Company entered into service agreements under which the Company is obligated to prepay non-refundable payments up to $19,000,000 over three years or earlier upon achievement of certain milestones. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company made payments of $3,250,000.

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment, and other matters. The Company will record a provision for these claims when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss, or a range of the potential loss, can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information or events pertaining to a particular case. In the event that one or more of these matters were to result in a claim against the Company, an adverse outcome, including a judgment or settlement, may cause a material adverse effect on the Company’s future business, operating results, or financial condition.

The Company believes that liabilities associated with any claims are not probable and any reasonably possible range of losses cannot be estimated at this time, therefore the Company has not recorded any accrual for claims as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

15. Information About Geographic Areas

Revenues generated outside of the United States were insignificant for all periods presented. Additionally, as the Company’s assets are primarily located in the United States, information regarding geographical location is not presented, as such amounts are immaterial to these condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our prospectus filed on March 6, 2014 with the SEC. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The forward-looking statements reflect our plans, estimates, beliefs and expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences are described in “Risk Factors” set forth in our prospectus and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We operate a leading digital promotion platform that connects great brands and retailers with consumers. Household brands from recognized consumer packaged goods companies, or CPGs, and many of the leading grocery, drug and mass merchandise retailers use our promotion platform to engage consumers. We deliver digital coupons to consumers, including coupons and coupon codes, and display advertising through our platform which includes our web, mobile and social channels, as well as those of our CPGs, retailers, and our extensive network of third-party websites, or publishers, that display our coupon and advertising offerings on their websites.

Our platform distributes digital promotions at scale across multiple channels enabling CPGs and retailers to deliver promotions and media advertisements to consumers at the point when they are most engaged and likely to make a purchasing decision. Our platform is comprised of promotional channels, including our Digital FSI Network, which is our network of owned and third-party websites that display our coupons and advertising offerings, retail point of sale solutions, mobile solutions, publishing tools, which enhance the effectiveness of the promotions we offer, and media advertising. Our secure technology gives CPGs control over the number of coupons distributed and the number of CPG-authorized activations per coupon, which enhances the security of digital coupons.

We generate revenues primarily from digital promotion transactions. Each time a consumer selects a digital coupon on our platform by either printing it for physical redemption at a retailer or saving it to a retailer online account for automatic digital redemption, we are paid a fee that is not dependent on the digital coupon being redeemed. For coupon codes, we are paid a fee when a consumer makes a purchase using a coupon code from our platform. If we deliver a digital coupon or coupon code on a retailer’s website or through its loyalty reward program, or the website of a publisher, we generally pay a distribution fee to the retailer or publisher which is included in our cost of revenues. We also generate advertising revenues through the placement of online advertisements from CPGs and retailers which are displayed with our coupon offerings on our websites and those of our publishers. We are paid a fee for the display of advertisements on a per impression or a per click basis. Advertising placements are generally sold as part of insertion orders for coupons as an integrated sale and not as a separate transaction.

First Quarter 2014 Overview

Quarterly revenues of $51.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 increased $15.0 million or 41% from revenues of $36.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Our net loss of $14.0 million increased $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the net loss of $8.2 million for the corresponding period of 2013.  The year over year increase in our quarterly revenue is primarily related to an increase in the number of transactions completed in the first quarter of 2014 of 407.8 million from 312.9 million for the first quarter of 2013.  The increase in our net loss in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily driven by increased stock-based compensation expense of $13.1 million associated with RSUs for which the liquidity-event condition was satisfied as a result of our IPO in March 2014 and increased costs of revenues associated with amortization expense and support costs for our new point of sale solution of approximately $2.6 million.
