Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business—New Relic, Inc. (the “Company” or “New Relic”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 20, 2008. The Company is a software-as-a-service provider of software analytics products which allow users to monitor software performance with .NET, Java, JavaScript, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby applications deployed in a cloud or in a data center. New Relic’s software analytics products enable developers and operation teams to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize their applications.

Basis of Presentation—These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“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. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on May 28, 2015 (the “Annual Report”). There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

In the opinion of management, the 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 fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.

Initial Public Offering—In December 2014, New Relic completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in which the Company issued and sold 5,750,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $23.00 per share. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $123.0 million from the sale of shares of common stock, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, but before deducting paid and unpaid offering expenses of approximately $3.1 million.

The sale of common stock in the IPO triggered the weighted average anti-dilution provisions set forth in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. At the IPO price of $23.00 per share, the per share conversion rate for the Company’s Series F convertible preferred stock into common stock was approximately 1:1.02. The conversion rate for the Company’s Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, and Series E convertible preferred stock was 1:1. As a result of the IPO, the 24,813,343 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock outstanding automatically converted into 24,885,778 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Concentration of Risk—A customer accounted for 16% and 12% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. There were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Short-term Investments—Short-term investments consist of money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, and corporate debt securities and are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company has classified its investments as current based on the nature of the investments and their availability for use in current operations. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, while realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments are reported within the statement of operations. For the periods presented, realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments were not material. An impairment charge is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for declines in fair value below the cost of an individual investment that are deemed to be other than temporary. The Company assesses whether a decline in value is temporary based on the length of time that the fair market value has been below cost, the severity of the decline and the intent and ability to hold or sell the investment. The Company did not identify any investments as other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015.

Business Combinations—The Company recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as a part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, its estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent that the Company identifies adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. There has been no such adjustment as of June 30, 2015.

Goodwill —Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually in the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. Triggering events that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate that could affect the value of goodwill or a significant decrease in expected cash flows. Since inception through June 30, 2015, the Company did not have any goodwill impairment.

Intangible Assets—Intangible assets consist of identifiable intangible assets, primarily developed technology, resulting from the Company’s acquisitions. Acquired intangible assets are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the recognition and reporting of revenue that establishes a comprehensive new revenue recognition model designed to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance allows for the use of either the full or modified retrospective transition method, and the standard will be effective for the Company in its fiscal year beginning April 1, 2018; early adoption is permitted for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as which transition method the Company intends to use.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The Update is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The standard will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2016; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its disclosures within the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
