SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

We were incorporated in the state of Washington in April 2005, and were reincorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2008. We changed our name from Box.Net, Inc. to Box, Inc. in November 2011. Box provides a leading cloud content management platform that enables organizations of all sizes to securely manage cloud content while allowing easy, secure access and sharing of this content from anywhere, on any device.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2017 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of January 31, 2017 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 (the “Form 10-K”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 24, 2017. The accompanying statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Form 10-K. Other than items discussed under Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements, there have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended July 31, 2017 from those disclosed in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K, and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our balance sheet as of July 31, 2017, and our results of operations, including our comprehensive loss, and our cash flows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2018.

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income or net income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for accounts receivable, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, best estimate of selling price included in multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, fair values of stock-based awards, legal contingencies, and the provision for income taxes, including related reserves, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. 

Certain Risks and Concentrations

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions, our deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

We sell to a broad range of customers, including resellers. Our revenue is derived substantially from the United States across a multitude of industries. Accounts receivable are derived from the delivery of our services to customers primarily located in the United States. We accept and settle our accounts receivable using credit cards, electronic payments and checks. A majority of our lower dollar value invoices are settled by credit card on or near the date of the invoice. We do not require collateral from customers to secure

accounts receivable. We maintain an allowance for accounts receivable based upon the expected collectability, which takes into consideration specific customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. We believe collections of our accounts receivable are reasonably assured based on the size, industry diversification, financial condition and past transaction history of our customers. As of July 31, 2017, one customer, which was a reseller, accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. As of January 31, 2017, two customers, which were both resellers, accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. No single customer, including resellers, represented over 10% of revenue for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016.

We serve our customers and users from datacenter facilities operated by third parties. In order to reduce the risk of down time of our enterprise cloud content services, we have established datacenters and third-party cloud computing and hosting providers in various locations in the United States and abroad. We have internal procedures to restore services in the event of disaster at any one of our current datacenter facilities. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, our cloud services could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of the procedures to restore services.

Geographic Locations

For the three and six months ended July 31, 2017, revenue attributable to customers in the United States and customers outside the United States was 79% and 21%, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2016, revenue attributable to customers in the United States and customers outside the United States was 83% and 17%, respectively. No other country outside of the United States comprised 10% or greater of our revenue for any of the periods presented.  

Substantially all of our net assets are located in the United States. As of July 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, property and equipment located in the United States was 99.7%.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. As of July 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, we had $26.5 million and $26.8 million in restricted cash, respectively. Restricted cash consists of certificates of deposit related to our leases. The new standard is effective for us beginning February 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The new standard should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-18 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The new standard is effective for us beginning February 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet while recognizing expense in a manner similar to existing accounting. The new accounting guidance is effective for us beginning February 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 regarding ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard provides principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also provides guidance on the recognition of sales commission costs related to obtaining customer contracts. In addition, the FASB issued subsequent ASUs, which serve to clarify certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. The standard will be effective for us beginning February 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method that will result in a cumulative effect adjustment.

We have established a cross-functional coordinated implementation team to implement the standard update related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. We have identified, and are in the process of implementing, appropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. Based on our ongoing evaluation, we believe the impacts of this ASU will be related to the capitalization and amortization of sales commissions, the timing of revenue recognition for certain sales contracts, and their respective disclosures. There will be a change to the period over which sales commissions will be amortized to align to an expected period of benefit and a change to the scope of capitalized sales commissions based on the definition of incremental costs of obtaining a contract. In addition, there will be a change in relation to the timing of revenue recognition for certain sales contracts, due primarily to the removal of the current limitation on contingent revenue. These changes are being evaluated to determine the potential impact to our financial statements and disclosures. We continue to assess all potential impacts of this ASU, so our preliminary conclusions may change.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Under current guidance, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The carrying value in excess of the implied fair value is recognized as goodwill impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment is recognized based on Step 1 of the current guidance, which calculates the carrying value in excess of the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for us beginning February 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted.

We elected to early adopt ASU 2107-04 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We expect that adoption of this ASU will simplify the evaluation and recording of goodwill impairment charges, if any.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payment. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on the classification of eight cash flow issues in order to reduce diversity in practice. As required by ASU 2016-15, contingent consideration payments made soon after a business combination should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities. Payments made thereafter should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities up to the amount of the original contingent consideration liability. Payments made in excess of the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows for operating activities. The new standard is effective for us beginning February 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.

We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-15 during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. The new standard requires application using a retrospective transition method. We have evaluated the impact on a quantitative and qualitative basis and concluded it was not material to any of prior periods presented.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation- Stock Compensation. ASU 2016-09 changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement. In addition, cash flows related to excess tax benefits will be presented as an operating activity on the cash flow statement. The standard also allows entities to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, clarifies that all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on the cash flow statement, and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. 

We adopted ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. As required by the standard, excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense were prospectively reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income as a component of the provision for income taxes rather than on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a paid-in capital. Included in our net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards are approximately $25.2 million of excess tax benefits from employee stock option exercises, for which we have not realized a deferred tax asset since it is fully offset by a valuation allowance, resulting in no impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements including any cumulative effect to accumulated deficit from previously unrecognized excess tax benefits. Our policy has been to classify cash flows related to excess tax benefits as part of operating activities and cash payments made on employee’s behalf for withheld shares as part of financing activities, and thus, the adoption of this standard had no effect on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, we did not elect an accounting policy change to record forfeitures as they occur and thus will continue to estimate the number of forfeitures expected to occur. Other amendments in the guidance did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Fair Value Measurements

We define fair value as the exchange price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy which requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

We measure restricted cash at fair value on a recurring basis. We classify this asset within Level 1 or Level 2 because they are valued using either quoted market prices for identical assets or inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded. We have restricted cash in the form of certificates of deposits of $26.5 million and $26.8 million as of July 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, respectively, classified within Level 2.

As of July 31, 2017, the gross carrying amount of property and equipment included $61.7 million of servers and $3.7 million of construction in progress acquired under capital leases, and the accumulated depreciation of property and equipment acquired under these capital leases was $18.8 million. As of January 31, 2017, the gross carrying amount of property and equipment included $43.2 million of servers and related equipment and $5.6 million of construction in progress acquired under capital leases, and the accumulated depreciation of property and equipment acquired under these capital leases was $10.4 million.

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $9.7 million and $9.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $18.9 million and $20.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Included in these amounts was depreciation expense for servers acquired under capital leases in the amount of $4.6 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $8.4 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Construction in progress primarily consists of servers, networking equipment and storage infrastructure being provisioned in our datacenter facilities as well as leasehold improvements. In addition, the amounts of interest capitalized to property and equipment were not material for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016.     

 

 

Note 4. Acquisitions

Wagon Analytics, Inc.

On August 30, 2016, we entered into an agreement to license certain technology and hire certain employees from Wagon Analytics, Inc., a privately-held data analysis company, for a total purchase price of $2.0 million. This agreement has been accounted for as a business combination. The entire purchase price was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to future growth and potential enhancement opportunities for our analytics platform. Goodwill is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. Transaction costs related to this business combination were not material.

Results of operations for this business combination have been included in our consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date and were not material. Pro forma results of operations for this business combination have not been presented because they were also not material to the consolidated results of operations.

 

 

Note 5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

There was no goodwill activity for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017.

 

 

Intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

Intangible amortization expense was not material for the three months ended July 31, 2017 and was $0.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2016.  For the six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, intangible amortization expense was $0.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Amortization of acquired technology is included in cost of revenue and amortization for trade names is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of July 31, 2017, expected amortization expense for intangible assets was not material.

 

 

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit

As of July 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017, we had letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $26.5 million and $26.8 million, respectively, in connection with our operating and capital leases. Letters of credit in connection with our facility leases are collateralized by certificates of deposit. Refer to Note 7 for additional details.   

Leases

We have entered into various non-cancellable operating lease agreements for certain of our offices and datacenters with lease periods expiring primarily between fiscal years 2018 and 2029. Certain of these arrangements have free or escalating rent payment provisions and optional renewal clauses. We are also committed to pay a portion of the actual operating expenses under certain of these lease agreements. These operating expenses are not included in the table below.  

We also entered into various capital lease arrangements to obtain servers for our operations. These agreements are typically for three to four years. The leases are secured by the underlying leased servers.

As of July 31, 2017, future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable capital and operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

 

 

We sublease certain floors of our headquarters and one floor of our office in San Francisco. These subleases have terms ranging from 19 to 49 months that will expire between fiscal 2018 and 2021. Non-cancellable sublease proceeds for the years ending January 31, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 of $3.6 million, $5.8 million, $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, are included in the table above.

We establish assets and liabilities for the present value of estimated future costs to return certain of our leased facilities to their original condition. Such assets are depreciated over the lease period into operating expense, and the recorded liabilities are accreted to the future value of the estimated restoration costs. We did not have material asset retirement obligations as of July 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017. In addition, sufficient information did not exist as of July 31, 2017 to reasonably estimate the fair value of asset retirement obligations for a Tokyo, Japan lease signed in April 2017.

Legal Matters

In June 2013, Open Text S.A. (Open Text) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, alleging that our core cloud software and Box Edit application infringed 12 patents of Open Text. This case was subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and, in February 2015, went to trial. In February 2015, the jury returned a verdict in which it awarded damages in favor of Open Text in a lump sum and fully paid-up royalty in the amount of $4.9 million. Both parties appealed certain aspects of the trial. While we continued to defend the lawsuit vigorously and continued to believe we had valid defense to Open Text’s claims, we considered the issuance of the verdict a recognized subsequent event that provided additional evidence about conditions which existed as of January 31, 2015. Accordingly, as of January 31, 2015, we accrued $4.9 million in relation to the jury award and recorded an expense in the amount of $3.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2015, in relation to the portion of the jury award attributable to prior periods. The portion of the jury award attributable to future periods was recorded as an asset as of January 31, 2015. This asset was amortized over an estimated useful life of 14 months, and the amortization expense was $0.9 million for the year ended January 31, 2016. In addition, we deemed Open Text’s claim for interest on the jury award amount to be probable and estimable for the first time in July 2015. As such, we accrued additional expenses in the aggregate amount of $0.7 million during the year ended January 31, 2016, in relation to the interest on the jury award amount.

On March 31, 2016, we entered into a Confidential Settlement and Release Agreement with Open Text (the “Settlement Agreement”), which fully settled the lawsuit and resulted in a full dismissal of the case against the Company. In connection with such settlement, we paid $3.75 million in total to Open Text, and our obligation to pay the jury award amount of approximately $4.9 million and all pre- and post-judgment interest was terminated. The parties agreed to drop all appeals pending in connection with the litigation and each agreed to certain standard mutual releases related to the subject matter of the suit. We recorded the settlement payment of $3.75 million, reversed previous related accruals and interest of $5.6 million, and recorded $0.1 million in recurring amortization for the asset, resulting in net income of $1.7 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2016.

In addition to the litigation discussed above, from time to time, we are a party to litigation and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We investigate these claims as they arise, and accrue estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and estimable. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe there was not at least a reasonable possibility that we had incurred a material loss with respect to such loss contingencies as of July 31, 2017.

Indemnification

We include service level commitments to our customers warranting certain levels of uptime reliability and performance and permitting those customers to receive credits in the event that we fail to meet those levels. In addition, our customer contracts often include (i) specific obligations that we maintain the availability of the customer’s data through our service and that we secure customer content against unauthorized access or loss, and (ii) indemnity provisions whereby we indemnify our customers for third-party claims asserted against them that result from our failure to maintain the availability of their content or securing the same from unauthorized access or loss. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such commitments.

Our arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our products or services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and have not accrued any material liabilities related to such obligations in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, we indemnify our officers, directors and certain key employees while they are serving in good faith in their respective capacities. To date, there have been no claims under any indemnification provisions.

 

 

Note 7. Debt

Line of Credit

In December 2015, we entered into a revolving credit facility (December 2015 Facility) with a lender in the amount of up to $40.0 million maturing in December 2017. The December 2015 Facility is denominated in U.S. dollars and, depending on certain conditions, each borrowing is subject to a floating interest rate equal to either the prime rate plus a spread of 0.25% to 2.75% or a reserve adjusted LIBOR rate (based on one, three or six-month interest periods) plus a spread of 1.25% to 3.75%. Although no minimum deposit is required for the December 2015 Facility, we are eligible for the lowest interest rate if we maintain at least $40 million in deposits with the lender.  In addition, there is an annual fee of 0.2% on the total commitment amount. We drew $40.0 million at 1.82% (six month LIBOR plus 1.25%). Borrowings under the December 2015 Facility are collateralized by substantially all of our assets in the United States. It also contains various covenants, including covenants related to the delivery of financial and other information, the maintenance of quarterly financial covenants, as well as customary limitations on dispositions, mergers or consolidations and other corporate activities. As of July 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. In February 2017, we amended the December 2015 Facility to extend the maturity date to December 2018. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest costs, for the periods presented is not material.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

In January 2015, our board of directors adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (2015 Plan), which became effective prior to the completion of our initial public offering (IPO). A total of 12,200,000 shares of Class A common stock was initially reserved for issuance pursuant to future awards under the 2015 Plan. On the first day of each fiscal year, shares available for issuance are increased based on the provisions of the 2015 Plan. Any shares subject to outstanding awards under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2006 Plan) or 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (2011 Plan) that are cancelled or repurchased subsequent to the 2015 Plan’s effective date are returned to the pool of shares reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan. Awards granted under the 2015 Plan may be (i) incentive stock options, (ii) nonstatutory stock options, (iii) restricted stock units, (iv) restricted stock awards or (v) stock appreciation rights, as determined by our board of directors at the time of grant. Options and restricted stock units generally vest 25% one year from the vesting commencement date and (a) in the case of options, 1/48^th per month thereafter, and (b) in the case of restricted stock units, 1/16th per quarter thereafter. As of July 31, 2017, 17,308,516 shares were reserved for future issuance under the 2015 Plan.

2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In January 2015, our board of directors adopted the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2015 ESPP), which became effective prior to the completion of our IPO. A total of 2,500,000 shares of Class A common stock was initially reserved for issuance under the 2015 ESPP. On the first day of each fiscal year, shares available for issuance are increased based on the provisions of the 2015 ESPP. The 2015 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our Class A common stock at a discount of up to 15% through payroll deductions of their eligible compensation, subject to any plan limitations. Except for the initial offering period, the 2015 ESPP provides for 24-month offering periods beginning March 16 and September 16 of each year, and each offering period consists of four six-month purchase periods.

On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase our stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of our stock on the offering date or (2) the fair market value of our stock on the purchase date. In the event the price is lower on the last day of any purchase price period, in addition to using that price as the basis for that purchase period, the offering period resets and the new lower price becomes the new offering price for a new 24 month offering period. As of July 31, 2017, 2,969,790 shares were reserved for future issuance under the 2015 ESPP.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes the stock option activity under the equity incentive plans and related information:

 

 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and expected to vest and exercisable as of July 31, 2017 is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the current fair value of our common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercised options for the six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 was $11.2 million and $15.4 million, respectively. The aggregate estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees that vested for the six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 was $4.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively.  The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees during the six months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 was $6.82 and $5.10 per share, respectively.

As of July 31, 2017, there was $14.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding stock options granted to employees that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.32 years.

In April 2017, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved and granted 475,000 performance-based stock options under the 2015 Plan to certain executive officers where vesting is subject to both the continued employment of the participant and the achievement of market based performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. Subject to the achievement of the performance goals, the performance-based options vest 25% one year from the vesting commencement date and 1/48^th per month thereafter. The grant date fair value of these awards was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. During the three months ended July 31, 2017, 250,000 performance-based stock options were forfeited in connection with a participant’s resignation of employment.
