Description of Business

Description of Business

Veeva is the leading provider of industry cloud solutions for the global life sciences industry. We were founded in 2007 on the premise that industry-specific cloud solutions could best address the operating challenges and regulatory requirements of life sciences companies. Our solutions are designed to meet the unique needs of our customers and their most strategic business functions—from research and development (R&D) to commercialization. Our solutions are designed to help life sciences companies develop and bring products to market faster and more efficiently, market and sell more effectively, and maintain compliance with government regulations. Veeva is also offering its content and data management solutions to a new set of customers outside of life sciences in regulated industries, including consumer goods, chemicals, and cosmetics. Our fiscal year end is January 31.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding annual financial reporting and include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

Effective February 1, 2018, we adopted the requirements of Topic 606, ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash,” and ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” as discussed in this note. All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10-K for previously reported periods have also been updated to comply with the new standards, as indicated by the “as adjusted” tables in this footnote.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions. Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to:

 

the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations;

 

the period of benefit for deferred costs;

 

the collectibility of our accounts receivable;

 

the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations;

 

the valuation of short-term investments and the determination of other-than-temporary impairments;

 

the realizability of deferred income tax assets and liabilities; and

 

the fair value of our stock-based awards.

As future events cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Segment Information

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. We define the term “chief operating decision maker” to be our Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating our financial performance. Accordingly, we have determined that we operate in a single reportable operating segment. Since we operate in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

We derive our revenues primarily from subscription services and professional services. Subscription services revenues consist of fees from customers accessing our cloud-based software solutions and subscription or license fees for our data solutions. Professional services and other revenues consist primarily of fees from implementation services, configuration, data services, training and managed services related to our solutions. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

 

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

 

Determination of the transaction price;

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

Our subscription services agreements are generally non-cancelable during the term, although customers typically have the right to terminate their agreements for cause in the event of material breach.

Subscription Services Revenues

Subscription services revenues are recognized ratably over the respective non-cancelable subscription term because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Our subscription arrangements are considered service contracts, and the customer does not have the right to take possession of the software.

Professional Services and Other Revenues

The majority of our professional services arrangements are billed on a time and materials basis and revenues are measured monthly based on time incurred and contractually agreed upon rates. Certain professional services revenues are billed on a fixed fee basis and revenues are typically recognized over time based on the proportion of total services performed. Data services and training revenues are generally recognized as the services are performed.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

Some of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately when they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine the standalone selling prices based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including other groupings such as customer type and geography.

Unbilled Accounts Receivable

Unbilled accounts receivable is a contract asset related to the delivery of our subscription services and professional services for which the related billings will occur in a future period. Unbilled accounts receivable consists of (i) revenue recognized for professional services performed but not yet billed and (ii) revenue recognized from non-cancelable, multi-year orders in which fees increase annually but for which we are not contractually able to invoice until a future period.

Deferred Costs

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs include sales commissions associated with obtaining a contract with a customer. These costs are deferred and then amortized over a period of benefit that we have determined to be three years. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration our customer contracts, our technology and other factors. Amortization expense is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue is a contract liability primarily related to billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition from our subscription services and, to a lesser extent, professional services and other revenues described above. Deferred revenue is recognized as we satisfy our performance obligations. We generally invoice our customers in annual or quarterly installments for subscription services. Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does not generally represent the total contract value of a subscription arrangement. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent, which is included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Certain Risks and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Certain Risks and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Our revenues are derived from subscription services, professional services and other services delivered primarily to the life sciences industry. We operate in markets that are highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes, shifting customer needs, the emergence of competitive products or services with new capabilities and other factors could negatively impact our operating results.

Our financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are held by established financial institutions. We have established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity. Deposits in these financial institutions may significantly exceed federally insured limits.

We do not require collateral from our customers and generally require payment within 30 to 60 days of billing. We periodically evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts as necessary, based on historical experience. Historically, losses related to lack of collectibility have not been material.

The following customers individually exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable as of the dates shown:

In our fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, our top 10 customers accounted for 39%, 42% and 45% of our total revenues, respectively. No single customer represented over 10% of our total revenues for any of the years presented.

Cash Equivalents

Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  We classify certain restricted cash balances within other long-term assets on the accompanying balance sheets based upon the term of the remaining restrictions.

Short-term Investments

Short-term Investments

We classify short-term investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. All short-term investments are recorded at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. We evaluate our investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. We consider impairments to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely we will sell the securities before the recovery of their cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income, net, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Interest, amortization of premiums, and accretion of discount on all short-term investments classified as available for sale are also included as a component of other income, net, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

We may sell our short-term investments at any time, without significant penalty, for use in current operations or for other purposes, even if they have not yet reached maturity. As a result, we classify our investments, including securities with maturities beyond 12 months as current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses expected in our accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, we use the specific-identification method, and management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts periodically. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Activity related to our allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows (in thousands):

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and commences once the asset is placed in service or ready for its intended use. Construction in progress is related to the construction or development of property (including land) and equipment that has not yet been placed in service for our intended use. The estimated useful lives by asset classification are generally as follows:

 

Asset Classification

 

Estimated Useful Life

Land

 

Not depreciated

Building

 

30 years

Land and building improvements

 

Shorter of remaining life of building or estimated useful life

Equipment and computers

 

3 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

5 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Shorter of remaining life of the lease term or estimated useful life

 

 

Upon sale or retirement of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the general ledger and any related gains or losses are reflected in operating expenses. Repairs and maintenance are charged to our statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

Internal-Use Software

Internal-Use Software

We capitalize certain costs incurred for the development of computer software for internal use. These costs generally relate to the development of our CRM, content and information management and customer master solutions. We capitalize these costs during the development of the project, when it is determined that it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Costs related to preliminary project activities, post-implementation activities, training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years, and the amortization expense is recorded as a component of cost of subscription services. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. We exercise judgment in determining the point at which various projects may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. To the extent that we change the manner in which we develop and test new features and functionalities related to our solutions, assess the ongoing value of capitalized assets or determine the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized, the amount of internal-use software development costs we capitalize and amortize could change in future periods.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually and under certain circumstances. We perform such testing of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year, or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

If we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we then conduct a two-step test for impairment of goodwill. The first step of the test for goodwill impairment compares the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the reporting unit’s carrying value, we will perform the second step of the test for impairment of goodwill. During the second step of the test for impairment of goodwill, we will compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the calculated implied fair value, the excess amount will be recognized as an impairment loss. We have one reporting unit and evaluate goodwill for impairment at the entity level. We completed our annual impairment test in our fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, which did not result in any impairment of the goodwill balance.

All other intangible assets associated with purchased intangibles, consisting of existing technology, databases, customer contracts and relationships, software, and brand are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining economic lives. Amortization expense related to existing technology, databases and software is included in cost of subscription services. Amortization expense related to customer contracts and relationships and brand are included in sales and marketing expense.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, we first compare undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. There were no impairment charges recognized during any of the periods presented.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

We use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. We continue to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions quarterly and record any adjustments to our preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that we are within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), based on the estimate of fair value of the award at the grant date. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using either a Monte Carlo simulation for market condition awards or Black-Scholes option-pricing model and a single option award approach.  These models require that at the date of grant we determine the fair value of the underlying common stock, the expected term of the award, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield of our common stock. The fair value of each RSU award is measured based on the closing stock price of our common stock on the date of grant. We account for forfeitures as they occur. The compensation expense is recognized using a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally four to nine years.

The determination of the grant date fair value of stock based payment awards using an option-pricing model is affected by assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables, which include our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of Revenues

Cost of subscription services revenues for all of our solutions consists of expenses related to our computing infrastructure provided by third parties, including salesforce.com and Amazon Web Services, personnel related costs associated with hosting our subscription services and providing support, including our data stewards, operating lease expense associated with computer equipment and software and allocated overhead, amortization expense associated with capitalized internal-use software related to our subscription services and amortization expense associated with purchased intangibles related to our subscription services. Cost of subscription services revenues for Veeva CRM and certain of our multichannel customer relationship management applications includes fees paid to salesforce.com for our use of the Salesforce1 Platform and the associated hosting infrastructure and data center operations that are provided by salesforce.com. We intend to continue to invest additional resources in our subscription services to enhance our product offerings and increase our delivery capacity. We may add or expand computing infrastructure capacity in the future, migrate to new computing infrastructure service providers, and make additional investments in the availability and security of our solutions.

Cost of professional services and other revenues consists primarily of employee-related expenses associated with providing these services, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, the cost of third-party subcontractors, travel costs and allocated overhead. The cost of providing professional services is significantly higher as a percentage of the related revenues than for our subscription services due to the direct labor costs and costs of third-party subcontractors.

Sales Commissions

Sales Commissions

Sales commission for subscription services are recorded when earned by our sales team. Commissions are typically earned upon the booking of a customer contract. The majority of our sales commissions are considered to be costs of obtaining our customer contracts and as a result are capitalized and then amortized over a period of benefit that we have estimated to be three years.  The remaining sales commissions are recorded as a component of sales and marketing expenses and totaled $0.5 million, $4.8 million, and $3.5 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising Expenses

Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was immaterial for each of the years presented.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We regularly assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. We evaluate and weigh all available positive and negative evidence such as historic results, future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, as well as prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies. Generally, more weight is given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the cumulative income in recent years.  

We establish liabilities or reduce assets for uncertain tax positions when we believe certain tax positions are not more likely than not of being sustained if challenged. We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining whether the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. If we determine that a tax position will more likely than not be sustained on audit, the second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. Determining whether an uncertain tax position is effectively settled requires judgment. Such a change in status or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

We recognize interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in our income tax expense.

Other Comprehensive Income

Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income is reported as a component of stockholders’ equity and includes unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities that are available-for-sale and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign Currency Exchange

Foreign Currency Exchange

The functional currency for Brazil, China, India, Japan, Korea and the Zinc subsidiaries in the United Kingdom is their local currency and for all other foreign subsidiaries their functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars for those entities that do not have U.S. dollars as their functional currency are recorded as part of a separate component of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations for the period. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated non-functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Equity transactions are translated using historical exchange rates.

Warranties and Indemnification

Warranties and Indemnification

Our cloud applications are generally warranted to perform materially in accordance with our standard services description documentation. Additionally, our contracts generally include provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our solutions infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights, and we may also incur liabilities if we breach the security and/or confidentiality obligations in our contracts. To date, we have not incurred any material costs, and we have not accrued any liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as a result of these obligations. We also entered into service-level agreements with our customers that specify required levels of application uptime and permit customers to receive credits or to terminate their agreements and receive a refund of prepaid amounts related to unused subscription services in the event that we fail to meet required performance levels. As of January 31, 2019, we have not accrued any liabilities related to these agreements in the consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2019

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2019

Income Taxes

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.” This standard amends ASC 740, Income Taxes, to provide accounting guidance for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act) pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which allows companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740 within a one-year measurement period from the Tax Act enactment date. This standard is effective upon issuance. As of January 31, 2019, we have completed our accounting for the income tax effects for the Tax Act. Future changes in law, interpretations, and facts may impact our provision for income taxes.

Stranded Tax Effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update allows reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act.

Topic 220 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. We early adopted this standard effective February 1, 2018. The impact on our consolidated financial statements was immaterial.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash, Restricted Cash,” which requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU 2016-18 retrospectively, effective February 1, 2018. As a result of including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts presented on the consolidated statement of cash flows, the impact on net cash flows for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 was immaterial.

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-01, among other things, requires equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. This standard is effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU 2016-01 effective February 1, 2018. There was no impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606. This guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model requires revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Topic 606 supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”.

We have adopted the requirements of the new standard as of February 1, 2018, utilizing the full retrospective transition method. Adoption of the new standard resulted in changes to our accounting policies for revenue recognition, unbilled accounts receivable, and deferred costs as detailed above in our description of Revenue Recognition. We applied a practical expedient provided by the new standard and are not disclosing the amount of consideration allocated to the remaining performance obligations for all reporting periods presented before the date of the initial application.

The impact of adoption included Subtopic 340-40, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers,” requiring the deferral of costs to obtain customer contracts, which is comprised of commissions on our subscription services arrangements. Such costs were expensed as incurred under Topic 605, whereas under Topic 606, they are generally capitalized and amortized over the costs’ associated term of economic benefit. We have determined that the term of economic benefit of our costs to obtain customer contracts is three years.

Revenue for the majority of our subscription services customer contracts will continue to be recognized over time because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer; however, there is some impact to revenue primarily driven by (i) accounting for the removal of the limitation on contingent revenue, which may result in revenue being recognized earlier for certain contracts and (ii) allocation of revenue from subscription services to professional services.

We adjusted our consolidated financial statements from amounts previously reported due to the adoption of Topic 606, ASU 2016-18, and Topic 220. Select consolidated balance sheet line items, which reflect the adoption of these new standards are as follows (in thousands):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), which requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their statements of comprehensive income in a manner similar to current accounting rules. Topic 842 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use (ROU) asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on February 1, 2019 and expect to use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before February 1, 2019.

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We do not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We currently expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of our leases. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also currently do not expect to apply the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our office leases but expect to apply this practical expedient for equipment leases.

On adoption, we currently expect to recognize additional operating liabilities of approximately $20 to 21 million, with corresponding ROU assets of approximately $18 to 19 million based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases.  

Net Income per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

We compute net income per share of our Class A and Class B common stock using the two-class method required for participating securities. We consider unvested shares issued upon the early exercise of options to be participating securities as the holders of these shares have a non-forfeitable right to dividends in the event of our declaration of a dividend for common shares.

Under the two-class method, net income attributable to common stockholders is determined by allocating undistributed earnings, calculated as net income, less earnings attributable to participating securities.

The net income per share attributable to common stockholders is allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock as if the income for the year has been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is allocated on a proportionate basis.

Basic net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. All participating securities are excluded from the basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding. Unvested shares of common stock resulting from the early exercises of stock options are excluded from the calculation of the weighted-average shares of common stock until they vest as they are subject to repurchase until they are vested. The unvested shares of common stock resulting from early exercises of stock options accounted for all of our participating securities.

Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding, including potentially dilutive shares of common equivalents outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock are determined using the treasury stock method.

Undistributed net income for a given period is apportioned to participating securities based on the weighted-average shares of each class of common stock outstanding during the applicable period as a percentage of the total weighted-average shares outstanding during the same period.

For purposes of the diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders calculation, unvested shares of common stock resulting from the early exercises of stock options and unvested options to purchase common stock are considered to be potentially dilutive shares of common stock. In addition, the computation of the fully diluted net income per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion from Class B common stock, while the fully diluted net income per share of Class B common stock does not assume the conversion of those shares.
