Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include assumptions related to the fair value of common stock before the Merger and other assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, fair value of identified intangibles, goodwill impairment, valuation of deferred tax assets, the estimate of net realizable value of inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of common stock warrants, public and private warrants liability, and earn-out shares, loss contingencies, and the determination of stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) of various performance obligations. As of December 31, 2022, future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, impact on the Company’s subscribers and their spending habits, impact on the Company’s marketing efforts, and effect on the Company’s suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and these estimates may change materially in future periods.
Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and various other factors, including the current economic environment and the impact of COVID-19, which management believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when dictated by facts and circumstances. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
Segment information
The Company has a single operating segment and reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. Refer to Note 4, for information regarding the Company’s revenue by geography. Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located in the United States. Such bank deposits from time to time may be exposed to credit risk in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit, and the Company considers such risk to be minimal.
We invest only in high-quality credit instruments and maintain our cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments in fixed income securities. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our investments are financially sound and, accordingly, are subject to minimal credit risk. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
The Company’s accounts receivable is derived from customers located both inside and outside the United States. The Company mitigates its credit risks by performing ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and requires advance payment from customers in certain circumstances. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers.

No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable at December 31, 2022 and 2021. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts on deposit with financial institutions. Amounts receivable from credit card processors of approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly-liquid in nature and are typically converted to cash approximately three to five business days from the date of the underlying transaction.
The Company had restricted cash of nil and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The restricted cash was cash deposits restricted under the 2021 Term Loan. Refer to Note 9. Debt for additional information.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable consists of current trade receivables due from customers recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts.
The Company’s accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers arising from revenue and are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from outstanding balances. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates accounts receivable estimated to be uncollectible and provides allowances, as necessary, for doubtful accounts. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering the age of each outstanding invoice, each customer’s expected ability to pay, and the collection history with each customer, when
applicable, to determine whether a specific allowance is appropriate. The allowances are based on the Company’s regular assessment of various factors, including the credit-worthiness and financial condition of specific customers, historical experience with bad debts, receivables aging, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and after factors that may affect the ability to collect from customers.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement
The Company accounts for certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity-specific information for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Fair value focuses on an exit price and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risks. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those financial instruments.
Accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of finished goods, assemblies, and raw materials. Assemblies are generally purchased from contract manufacturers. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs are determined using standard cost, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company assesses the valuation of inventory and periodically adjusts the value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon estimates of future demand and market conditions, as well as damaged or otherwise impaired goods.

The Company recorded a provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $1.0 million, nil, and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The Company also recorded a liability of $4.0 million and nil respectively, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, arising from firm, non-cancelable, and unhedged inventory purchase commitments in excess of anticipated demand or net realizable value consistent with its valuation of excess and obsolete inventory. Such liability was included in accrued and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Both provision for excess and obsolete and accrued loss on firm inventory purchase commitments were recorded in cost of product revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Machinery and equipment
2 - 7 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 years
Capitalized software and development costs
3 years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of remaining lease term or 10 years
Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Impairment of Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in each business combination. Goodwill will be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company has elected to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative impairment test will be performed. Under the quantitative impairment test, if the carrying amount of the single reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess but limited to the total amount of goodwill.
Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of purchased intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of these assets by determining whether or not the carrying amount will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of an asset group, the Company will record an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Acquired property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives. The Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of these assets when events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the Company revises the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life on a prospective basis.

The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on goodwill, intangible assets, or other long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Investments
The Company classifies its investments in marketable and non-marketable securities as available-for-sale debt securities at the time of purchase based on the legal form of the security, the Company’s intended holding period for the security, and the nature of the transaction. Investments not considered cash equivalents and with maturities within one year or less from the consolidated balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities greater than one year from the consolidated balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments.
The Company determines the classification of the investments in marketable debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Debt securities in an unrealized loss position are written down to its fair value with the corresponding change recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations, if it’s more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the impaired security before recovery of its amortized costs basis, or have the intention to sell the security. If neither of these conditions are met, it is determined whether a credit loss exists by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows of the security with its amortized cost basis. An allowance for credit losses is recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for an amount not to exceed the unrealized loss. Unrealized losses that are not credit-related are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) in stockholders’ equity.
The Company also has certain private equity investments without readily determinable fair values due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity, and the fact that inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable and require management's judgment. The Company elected the measurement alternative to record these investments at cost and to adjust for impairments and observable price changes resulting from transactions with the same issuer within the statement of operations. Refer to Note 8. Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs consist of direct legal, accounting and other fees relating to the consummation of the Merger. These costs were initially capitalized as incurred in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Upon the Closing, transaction costs related to the issuance of shares were recognized in stockholders’ equity (deficit) while costs associated with the public and private warrants liabilities were expensed in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company and Gores incurred $10.0 million and $26.3 million transaction costs, respectively. The total transaction cost was $36.3 million, consisting of underwriting, legal, and other professional fees, of which $35.7 million was recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of proceeds and the remaining $0.6 million was expensed immediately upon the Closing.
Business Combination
Business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method under Accounting Standards Codifications (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which requires recording assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the acquisition date. Under the acquisition method of accounting, each tangible and separately identifiable intangible asset acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded based on their preliminary estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The initial valuations are derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by management. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Additional information existing as of the acquisition date but unknown to the Company may become known during the remainder of the measurement period, not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date, which may result in changes to the amounts and allocations recorded.

Acquisition related transaction costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No acquisitions closed during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company incurred $1.6 million and $0.9 million of acquisition-related costs for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Intangible Assets
Acquisition-related intangible assets with finite lives are accounted for at fair value as of the date of acquisition, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

Warrants Liability
The Company assumed publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) and private warrants (“Private Warrants”) upon the Closing. The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
Earn-out Arrangement
In connection with the reverse recapitalization and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, eligible Legacy Matterport stockholders and Legacy Matterport stock option and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) holders were entitled to receive an aggregate of approximately 23.5 million shares (“Earn-out Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”) upon the Company achieving certain Earn-out Triggering Events during the Earn-out Period (as described in Note 15 “Contingent Earn-Out Awards”).
In accordance with ASC 815-40, Earn-out Shares issuable to Legacy Matterport common stockholders in respect of such common stock are not solely indexed to the common stock and therefore are accounted for as contingent earn-out liability on the consolidated balance sheet at the reverse recapitalization date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated
statements of operations. If the applicable triggering event is achieved for a tranche, the Company will reclassify the outstanding earn-out liability to additional paid-in capital upon triggering event and account for the Earn-out Shares for such tranche as issued and outstanding common stock upon the share release.
Earn-out Shares issuable to certain holders of Legacy Matterport stock options and RSUs in respect of such stock options and RSUs (the “Earn-out Awards”) are subject to forfeiture and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. The Company measures and recognizes stock-compensation expense based on the fair value of the Earn-out Awards over the derived service period for each tranche. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
Upon the forfeiture of Earn-out Shares issuable to any eligible holder of Legacy Matterport stock options and RSUs, the forfeited Earn-out awards are subject to reallocation and grant on a pro rata basis to the remaining eligible Legacy Matterport stockholders and stock options and RSUs holders. The reallocated issuable shares to Legacy Matterport common stockholders are recognized as contingent earn-out liability, and the reallocated issuable shares to Legacy Matterport stock options and RSUs holders are recognized as stock-based compensation over the remaining derived service period based on the fair value on the date of the reallocation.
The estimated fair value of the Earn-out Shares is allocated proportionally to contingent earn-out liability and the grant date fair value of the Earn-out Awards. The estimated fair value of the Earn-out Shares is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation prioritizing the most reliable information available. The assumptions utilized in the calculation are based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones, including the current price of shares of Class A common stock, expected volatility, risk-free rate, expected term and dividend rate. The contingent earn-out liability is categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement because the Company estimates projections during the Earn-out Period utilizing unobservable inputs. See Note 8 “Fair Value Measurement” and Note 15 “Contingent Earn-Out Awards” for additional information.

All six Earn-out Triggering Events occurred as of January 18, 2022, which resulted in the Company issuing an aggregate of $21.5 million Earn-out Shares to the eligible Legacy Matterport stockholders and Legacy Matterport RSU and stock option holders, which reflects the withholding of approximately 2.0 million Earn-out Shares to cover tax obligations. Refer to Note 15 “Contingent Earn-out Awards” and Note 16 “Stock Plan” for additional information.

Comprehensive Loss and Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of Matterport, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore and Japan is the U.S. dollar. Prior to January 1, 2022, Matterport, Inc.’s United Kingdom (“U.K.”) subsidiary used the British Pound as its functional currency to maintain its books and records. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company considered the economic factors outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 830 — Foreign Currency Matters in the determination of the functional currency, and concluded that the predominance of factors supports the change in functional currency to the U.S. dollar for the U.K. subsidiary. The Company translates its monetary assets and liabilities for its subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar by using the applicable exchange rate as of the consolidated balance sheet date, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the consolidated financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
For transactions that occur in a foreign currency other than the functional currency of Matterport, Inc. or its subsidiaries, the Company records the transaction at the applicable rate on the date of recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at each consolidated balance sheet date until settled and changes are reported as transaction gains or losses in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2019, using the full retrospective method. The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through the application of the following steps: (1) identify the contract; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company
recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Nature of Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from subscription, license, services and sale of products.

Subscription — Revenues comprise of fees that provide customer access to ordered subscription services. Customers have the ability to select from several levels of subscription to the Matterport platform (“Subscription Levels”). Each selected Subscription Level includes Subscription Level-specific features and Subscription Level-specific pricing for add-ons that are available to the user at any time during the subscription term.

Subscription fees are invoiced in advance of the service being provided to the customer. Typical payment terms provide that customers pay within 30 days of invoice. The portion of the transaction price allocated to the subscription is recognized ratably over the subscription term, which typically ranges from one month to a year as the Company’s management has concluded that the nature of the Company’s promise to the customer is to provide continuous access to the Matterport platform, which represents a stand-ready obligation provided throughout the subscription period. Annual and monthly subscriptions are renewed automatically at the end of each term.

The Company’s contracts with customers typically do not include termination rights for convenience, nor do they include terms with a significant financing component.

License — The Company provides a perpetual license to spatial data assets in exchange for a fixed license fee. The license represents right-to-use intellectual property and revenue is recognized at the point in time control of license transfers to the customer.

Services — The Company provides capture services of spatial data and other add-on services to existing subscription customers. Capture services and other add-on services are typically invoiced in advance or in arrears on a monthly basis as services are provided. The Company recognizes revenue as the services are delivered.

Product — The Company provides 3D capture cameras and third-party capture devices to customers. Cameras are invoiced upon shipment or at the point of sale. The portion of the transaction price allocated to the camera is recognized upon control transferring to the customer. Revenue from sales to end users is recognized upon shipment, net of estimates of returns, as these buyers are entitled to return the camera within 30 days from the date of purchase for a full refund. These rights are accounted for as variable consideration and recognized as a reduction to the revenue recognized. Estimates of returns are made at contract inception and updated each reporting period. Revenue from sales to value-added resellers is recognized upon shipment and resellers do not have rights of return.

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the associated products, rather than as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company records amounts billed for shipping and handling costs as a component of net product sales, and classifies such costs as a component of cost of products.

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations

The Company’s contracts with customers frequently include multiple performance obligations that may consist of subscription, license, services and products. For these contracts, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative SSP. The SSP is the price at which the Company would sell a promised product or service separately to a customer. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.

The Company determines SSP based on the Company’s best estimates and judgments by considering its pricing strategies, historical selling price of these performance obligations in similar transactions, bundling and discounting practices, customer and geographic information, and other factors. More than one SSP may exist for individual goods and services due to the stratification of those goods and services, considering attributes such as the size of the customer and geographic region. The allocation of transaction price among performance obligations in a contract may impact the amount and timing of revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during a given period.
Deferred Commission, Net

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer consist primarily of direct sales commissions incurred upon execution of the contract. These costs require capitalization under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs — Contracts and Customers, and amortization over the estimated period over which the benefit is expected to be received as direct sales commissions paid for subscription renewals are not commensurate with the amounts paid for initial contracts. The Company applies the practical expedient and expenses commissions when incurred if the amortization period is one year or less. The capitalized direct commission costs are included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the amortization of these costs is included in selling, general, and administrative in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Deferred commission, net was $4.4 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general, and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense was $17.3 million, $10.5 million, and $4.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of salaries, consulting services, and other direct expenses.

Internal-Use Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to developed or modified software solely for its internal use and cloud-based applications used to deliver the Matterport platform. The Company capitalizes costs during the application development stage once the preliminary project stage is complete, management authorizes and commits to funding the project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and that the software will be used to perform the function intended. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and records the expense related to stock-based payment awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation. For stock options with performance conditions, the Company records compensation expense when it is deemed probable that the performance condition will be met. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the method for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock.

The Company calculates the fair value of options granted by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected Volatility — The Company estimated volatility for option grants by evaluating the average historical volatility of a peer group of companies for the period immediately preceding the option grant for a term that is approximately equal to the options’ expected term.

Expected Term — The expected term of the Company’s options represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company has elected to use the midpoint of the stock options vesting term and contractual expiration period to compute the expected term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior.

Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a term that is equal to the options’ expected term at the grant date.
Dividend Yield — The Company has never declared or paid dividends and does not anticipate declaring dividends. As such, the dividend yield has been estimated to be zero.

Common Stock Valuation

In the absence of a public trading market for the Company’s common stock prior to the Merger, on each grant date, the fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined by the Company’s board of directors with inputs from management, taking into account the most recent valuations from an independent third-party valuation specialist. The valuations of the Company’s common stock were determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.
The Company used a hybrid method utilizing a combination of the option-pricing model and the probability weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) to allocate the Company’s equity value among outstanding common stock. After the allocation to the various classes of equity securities, a discount for lack of marketability was applied to arrive at a fair value of common stock. Application of these approaches and methodologies involved the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding the Company’s expected future revenue, expenses and future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable public companies, and the probability of and timing associated with possible future events.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company records redeemable convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. The Company classifies its redeemable convertible preferred stock as mezzanine equity outside of stockholders’ deficit when the stock contains contingent redemption features that are not solely within the Company’s control. The Company does not adjust the carrying values of shares of its redeemable convertible preferred stock to the liquidation preferences of such shares until it is reasonably certain that the event that would obligate the Company to pay the liquidation preferences to the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock will occur.

Common Stock Warrants

The Company generally accounts for warrants issued in connection with debt and equity financings as a component of equity unless the warrants include a conditional obligation to issue a variable number of shares or if there is a deemed possibility that the Company may need to settle the warrants in cash, in which case the Company records the fair value of the warrants as a liability.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for computing its income tax provision. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as operating loss, capital loss, and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates. The Company’s management makes estimates, assumptions, and judgments to determine the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent the Company believes recovery is not likely, establishes a valuation allowance.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of redeemable convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the redeemable convertible preferred stock as the holders of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses.
Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options, warrants, and redeemable convertible preferred stock. As the Company has reported loss for the periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive, and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.

Comprehensive Income (loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) reflects gains and losses that are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and are excluded from net income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments related to consolidation of foreign entities and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities classified as available-for-sale.
Accounting Pronouncements
The Company was provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting guidance as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 either (1) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to public business entities or (2) within the same time periods as nonpublic business entities, including early adoption when permissible. With the exception of standards the Company elected to early adopt, when permissible, the Company has elected to adopt new or revised accounting guidance within the same time period as non-public business entities, as indicated below. Based on the closing price of our common stock and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2022, the Company has determined that we will no longer be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2022. As a result, we will no longer be able to take advantage of reduced disclosure and other obligations that are available to emerging growth companies after that date.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02” or “Topic 842”), which requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities arising from operating and financing leases with terms longer than 12 months on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements.

The Company adopted the new standard, along with all subsequent ASU clarifications and improvements that are applicable to the Company, effective January 1, 2022 and recorded an ROU asset and lease liability related to its operating leases. The Company used the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Accordingly, the Company applied the new lease standard prospectively to leases existing or commencing on or after January 1, 2022. Prior period balances and disclosures have not been restated. The Company elected the package of transitional practical expedients, which among other provisions, allows the Company to not reassess under the new standard the Company's prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct cost, for any existing leases on the adoption date. In addition, for operating leases, the Company elected to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company also made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheet for leases that, at the lease commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less.

Adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of $3.6 million of ROU assets and $3.8 million of lease liabilities related to the Company's leases on its consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2022. The difference of $0.2 million represented deferred rent for leases that existed as of the date of adoption, which decreased the opening balance of ROU assets. In addition, the prepaid rent balance as of the date of adoption increased the opening balance of ROU assets. The deferred rent and prepaid rent balances were derecognized as of the date of adoption and no adjustment was made to retained earnings. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders' equity or cash flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and subsequent related ASUs, which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company adopted this standard on December 31, 2022, with an effective date of adoption of January 1, 2022, using a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, the Company updated its credit loss models to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost, including accounts receivable. The standard also requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350) (“ASU 2017-04” or “Topic 350”), which removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022, which has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU No. 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not yet Adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. This ASU is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2021-08 beginning January 1, 2023, and is currently assessing the impact the guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
