Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates the financial results and reports non-controlling interests representing the economic interests held by other equity holders of subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by the Company. The calculation of non-controlling interests excludes any net income / (loss) attributable directly to the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (the "2021 Form 10-K").
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods indicated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, fair value of contingent earn-out considerations (please see Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies," for further information on the fair value of the Company's contingent earn-out considerations), incremental borrowing rates for right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and tax valuation allowances. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates using different assumptions or under different conditions.
In light of the ongoing and quickly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, management has considered the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates and as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates or judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 4, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, other than the "New Accounting Standards Adopted" disclosed below and changes to the Company's segment reporting disclosed in Note 4, "Segment Information."
Revenue Recognition
As mentioned above, there have been no significant changes to the Company's revenue recognition policies, now inclusive of the acquisitions of AdColony and Fyber defined and disclosed below in Note 3, "Acquisitions", since its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.
Prior to the acquisitions of AdColony and Fyber, the Company had one operating and reportable segment called Media Distribution. As a result of the acquisitions, the Company reassessed its operating and reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. Effective April 1, 2021, the Company reports its results of operations through the three segments disclosed below in Note 4, "Segment Information," each of which represents an operating and reportable segment.
On Device Media
This segment is the legacy single operating and reporting segment (Media Distribution) of the Company prior to the AdColony and Fyber acquisitions.
In App Media - AdColony
AdColony’s principal operations consist of supplying a mobile advertising platform that includes a direct supply of in-app advertising inventory to its customers. AdColony's customers provide insertion orders for advertising during campaign windows where AdColony provides, inserts, and tracks the performance of the advertising to serve as the direct supplier for the customer. Customers will contract for this service, which is monetized through a measurement of user views, clicks, or installs of the target product or service offered by the customer. AdColony's customers generally pay subsequently to the total aggregation of the views, clicks, and installs billed on a monthly basis. Specifically, the aggregated activities include the following:
i.When a user installs a game (i.e., a user plays a game, sees advertising, clicks on it, and installs a game), based on a cost per install (CPI) arrangement.
ii.When a mobile ad is delivered to a user, based on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) arrangement (i.e., every thousand impressions of a mobile ad inside the publisher's inventory, which can be on a mobile app or website).
iii.When a user plays a mobile video ad all the way to completion, based on a CPCV (cost per completed view) arrangement.
iv.When a user clicks on a mobile ad, based on a CPC (cost per click) arrangement (i.e., after each instance when an ad is clicked inside the publisher's inventory).
Due to the nature of AdColony's principal operations and the similarities between how customers obtain control of promised services between this segment and the Company's other two segments, revenues for this segment are recognized in a manner consistent with the Company's legacy On Device Media business.
In App Media - Fyber
Fyber’s principal operations consist of supplying a mobile advertising platform that includes a direct supply of in-app advertising inventory to its customers. Fyber specializes in software-based automated ("programmatic") trading of advertisements and aims to enable mobile app publishers to monetize their digital contents through the placement of targeted, high-quality ads within their apps. Fyber connects app developers and their users with advertisers worldwide, who bid on the ad space within the apps (predefined spaces and instances within apps where ads can be displayed at certain points of time during a session of a user engaging with the app). Fyber’s customers provide insertion orders or equivalent contracts for advertising during campaign windows where Fyber provides, inserts, and tracks the performance of the advertising to serve as the direct supplier for the customer. Alternatively, Fyber also contracts with customers using a framework agreement that is not specific to a campaign or budget, but instead determines parameters for the mobile advertising service. Customers will contract for these services, which are monetized through a measurement of user impressions, clicks, or installs of the target product or service offered by the customer. Fyber’s customers generally pay subsequently to the total aggregation of the impressions, clicks, and installs billed on a monthly basis. Specifically, the aggregated activities include the following:
i.When a user installs a game (i.e., a user plays a game, sees advertising, clicks on it, and installs a game) based on a CPA (cost per action) arrangement.
ii.When a mobile ad is delivered to a user, based on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) arrangement (i.e., every thousand impressions of a mobile ad inside the publisher's inventory, which can be on a mobile app or website).
iii.When a user plays a mobile video ad all the way to completion, based on a CPCV (cost per completed view) arrangement.
iv.When a user clicks on a mobile ad, based on a CPC (cost per click) arrangement (i.e., after each instance when an ad is clicked inside the publisher's inventory).
Due to the nature of Fyber's principal operations and the similarities between how customers obtain control of promised services between this segment and the Company's other two segments, revenues for this segment are recognized in a manner consistent with the Company's legacy On Device Media business.
New Accounting Standards Adopted
ASU 2019-12
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 1, 2021. ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
ASU 2020-04
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The Company is implementing a transition plan to identify and modify its loans and other financial instruments with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. The Company is continuing to assess ASU 2020-04 and its impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
