The earnings release also includes forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.

(1) The reduction is primarily attributable to the elimination of the requirement to have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements that existed under ASC 605, the prior applicable accounting guidance, for software products, which no longer precludes revenue recognition under ASC 606. The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 reported in our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018 has been revised to reflect an additional reduction to deferred revenue and accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018 of $3.8 million. | |
(2) For subscription contracts, we are now required under ASC 606 to record contract assets for annual and multi-year subscriptions that are billed monthly, resulting in an increase in contract assets at the date of adoption. In addition, some of our enterprise agreements have fixed payment schedules whereas the timing of the fulfillment of performance obligations under the contracts can vary, which can result in the fulfillment of performance obligations exceeding contract billings, which also results in contract assets. |
