Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accounting policies we follow are set forth in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our audited consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K. The following notes should be read in conjunction with these policies and other disclosures in our 2021 Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as set forth in these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements) necessary to present fairly in all material aspects the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows from all periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs, which primarily consist of deferred sales commissions, included within Other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were $141.0 million and $144.5 million as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred costs was $13.1 million and $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and $38.5 million and $34.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements from the Financial Accounting Standards Board


Standard	Issuance Date	Description	Adoption Date	Effect on the Financial Statements
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)	August 2020	This amendment simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models required under current GAAP for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost.	January 2022	We adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method of transition. The adoption resulted in the elimination of the debt discount (and related deferred tax liability) that was recorded within equity related to our Convertible Senior Notes. The net impact of the adjustments was recorded to the opening balance of accumulated deficit and additional paid in capital. The impact to the condensed consolidated balance sheet was as follows: (1) increase of $92.9 million to long-term debt, (2) decrease of $77.7 million to additional paid-in capital, net of allocated issuance costs of $2.7 million and deferred tax impact of $28.2 million, and (3) decrease to accumulated deficit of $10.0 million.
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting	March 2020	This amendment provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.	Not yet adopted	This amendment may be elected over time through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
