Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates form the basis for judgments the Company makes about the carrying values of its assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates include, but are not limited to, fair value of financial instruments, useful lives of long-lived assets, fair value of common stock prior to IPO, fair value of derivative instruments, fair value of redeemable convertible preferred stock and related redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant and equity awards and other equity issuances prior to IPO, incremental borrowing rate applied to lease accounting, contingent liabilities, allowances for refunds and chargebacks and uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2020, the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition continue to evolve. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions required increased judgment and these estimates may change materially in future periods.

Segments

The Company manages its operations and allocates resources as a single operating segment. Further, the Company manages, monitors and reports its financials as a single reporting segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer who makes operating decisions, assesses financial performance and allocates resources based on consolidated financial information. As such, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company generates revenue from marketplace and logistics services provided to merchants. Revenue is recognized as the Company transfers control of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers both the merchant and the user to be customers. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation of whether the Company obtains control of the specified goods or services by considering if it is primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, has inventory risk and has latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors. Based on these factors, marketplace revenue is generally recognized on a net basis and logistics revenue is generally recognized on a gross basis. Revenue excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including indirect taxes.

Marketplace Revenue

The Company provides a mix of marketplace services to merchants. The Company provides merchants access to its marketplace where merchants display and sell their products to users. The Company also provides ProductBoost services to help merchants promote their products within the Company’s marketplace.

Marketplace revenue includes commission fees collected in connection with user purchases of the merchants’ products. The commission fees vary depending on factors such as user location, demand, product type, and dynamic pricing. The Company recognizes revenue when a user’s order is processed and the related order information has been made available to the merchant. Commission fees are recognized net of estimated refunds and chargebacks. Marketplace revenue also includes ProductBoost revenue for displaying a merchant’s selected products in preferential locations within the Company’s marketplace. The Company recognizes revenue when the merchants’ selected products are displayed. The Company refers to its marketplace revenue, excluding ProductBoost revenue, as its core marketplace revenue.

Logistics Revenue

The Company’s logistics offering for merchants is designed for direct end-to-end single order shipment from a merchant’s location to the user. Logistics services include transportation and delivery of the merchant’s products to the user. Merchants are required to prepay for logistics services on a per order basis.

The Company recognizes revenue over time as the merchant simultaneously receives and consumes the logistics services benefit as the services are performed. The Company uses an output method of progress based on days in transit as it best depicts the Company’s progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of amounts received primarily related to unsatisfied performance obligations of logistics services and marketplace services for shipments in-transit at the end of the period where the Company is the principal. The deferred revenue balances as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 are disclosed in Note 4. Due to the short-term duration of contracts, all of the performance obligations will be satisfied in the following reporting period.

Refunds and Chargebacks

Refunds and chargebacks are associated with marketplace revenue. Returns are not material to the Company’s business. Estimated refunds and chargebacks are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as refunds liability. The merchant’s share of the refunds is recognized as a reduction to the amount due to merchants. The revenue recognized on transactions subject to refunds and chargebacks is reversed. The Company estimates future refunds and chargebacks using a model that incorporates historical experience and considering recent business trends and market activity.

Incentive Discount Offers

The Company provides incentive discount offers to its users to encourage purchases of products through its marketplace. Such offers include current discount offers of a certain percentage off current purchases and inducement offers, such as set percentage offers off future purchases subject to a minimum current purchase. The Company generally records the related discounts taken as a reduction of revenue when the offer is redeemed. The Company also offers free products to encourage users to make purchases on its marketplace. The resulting discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue when the offer for free product is redeemed.

Wish Cash Liability

The Company awards Wish Cash to end-users who opt to receive it for their refundable transactions. The Company also offers Wish Cash as part of its various referral and incentive programs. The Company accrues a liability for issued Wish Cash which is reduced when Wish Cash is redeemed by its users. Based on historical experience, the Company analyzes the Wish Cash liability considering usage patterns to determine the probability of redemption. While the Company will continue to honor all Wish Cash presented for payment, management may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for Wish Cash balances due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. In these circumstances, to the extent management determines there is no requirement for remitting Wish Cash balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, the portion of Wish Cash balances not expected to be redeemed are recognized in Core Marketplace revenue. Unredeemable Wish Cash was not material for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

 


Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes colocation and data center charges, interchange and other fees for credit card processing services, fraud and chargeback prevention service charges, costs of refunds and chargebacks made to users that the Company is not able to collect from merchants, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, shipping charges, tracking costs, warehouse fees, and employee-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, for the Company’s infrastructure, merchant support and logistics personnel. Cost of revenue also includes an allocation of general IT and facilities overhead expenses.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expenses are included in sales and marketing expenses within the consolidated statements of operations and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $1.6 billion, $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion for the years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes costs to develop its mobile application and website when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. Due to the iterative process by which the Company performs upgrades and the relatively short duration of its development projects, development costs meeting capitalization criteria were not material during the periods presented.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash deposited with banks and money market funds for which their cost approximates their fair value. The Company held 92% and 82% of its cash and cash equivalents in the United States as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Restricted cash as of December 31, 2019 consisted of mandatory deposits as collateral for standby letters of credit related to the Company’s primary office space lease and was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of short-term and long-term debt securities classified as available-for-sale and have original maturities greater than 90 days. Marketable securities are carried at fair value based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are not material. Realized gains or losses on the sale of all such securities are reported in interest and other income (expense), net, and computed using the specific identification method. For declines in fair market value below the cost of an individual marketable security, the Company assesses whether the decline in value is other than temporary based on the length of time the fair market value has been below cost, the severity of the decline and the Company’s intent and ability to hold or sell the investment. If an investment is impaired, the Company writes it down through earnings to its recoverable value and establishes that as a new cost basis for the investment.

Funds Receivable

The Company uses several third-party Payment Service Providers (“PSPs”) to process user transactions on its marketplace. Transactions on the Company’s marketplace are mainly credit and debit card-based transactions that convert to cash on a regular basis and are net settled against refunds and chargebacks, with little default risk. Funds receivable represents the amounts expected to be received from PSPs for purchases on the Company’s marketplace and is recognized net of processing fees.

Concentrations of Risk

Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, funds receivable and marketable securities. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held on deposit with creditworthy institutions. Although the Company’s deposits exceed federally insured limits, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company invests its excess cash in money market accounts, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper and corporate bonds. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by the financial institutions holding its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities for the amounts reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s investment policy limits investments to certain types of debt securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and institutions with investment-grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a default by its PSPs. The Company does not generate revenue from PSPs. Significant changes in the Company’s relationship with its PSPs could adversely affect users’ ability to process transactions on the Company’s marketplaces, thereby impacting the Company’s operating results.

Services Risk — The Company serves all of its users using third-party data center and hosting providers. The Company has disaster recovery protocols at the third-party service providers. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, access to the Company’s service could be significantly interrupted, resulting in an adverse effect on its operating results and financial position. No significant interruptions of service were known to have occurred during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are generally as follows:

 

 

 

Computers, equipment, software

3 years

Furniture and fixtures, servers, networking equipment

5 years

Leasehold improvements

Shorter of the estimated useful life or remaining
lease term

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured first by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, an impairment loss would be recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset above the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were recognized on long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Merchants Payable

Merchants payable represents the amount of funds due to merchants and is recognized net of commission fees earned by the Company for marketplace transactions and other fees due from merchants. Merchants payable is adjusted for actual and estimated refunds the Company is expected to recover from merchants. The Company remits funds to merchants on a regular basis.

Operating Lease Obligations

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For leases where the Company is the lessee, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the term of the lease and the lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Certain lease agreements contain tenant improvement allowances, rent holidays and rent escalation provisions, all of which are considered in determining the ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company begins recognizing rent expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available for use by the Company. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis in determining the lease term. The interest rate the Company uses to determine the present value of future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the rate implicit in the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate for collateralized borrowings in economic environments where the leased asset is located based on credit rating factors. The ROU asset is determined based on the lease liability initially established and adjusted for any prepaid lease payments and any lease incentives received. The lease term to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Certain leases contain variable costs, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Operating leases are included in the ROU assets, accrued liabilities and lease liabilities, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has no finance leases.

Loss Contingencies

The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability for these when it believes it is probable that it has incurred a loss, and the Company can reasonably estimate the loss. If the Company determines that a material loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company regularly evaluates current information to determine whether it should adjust a recognized liability or recognize a new one. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

Prior to the Company’s IPO in December 2020, the Company classified the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets and re-measured to fair value at each balance sheet date with the corresponding changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense), net. Immediately prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, the Company’s outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant was net exercised and the fair value of the related liability at that time was reclassified into the Company’s Class A common stock and additional paid-in capital because it is now considered as permanent equity.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based units (“PSUs”), and purchase rights issued to employees under its employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”), based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of ESPP purchase rights and the Monte Carlo Simulation model to estimate the fair value of a PSU. The fair value of RSUs is based on the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of service-based RSUs is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally four years. For stock-based awards granted to employees with a performance condition, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense under the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period. The fair value of the ESPP purchase rights is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the offering period.

The vesting requirements of RSUs that the Company granted to employees prior to its IPO in December 2020 consisted both of a service condition and a liquidity condition. The service condition for these awards is satisfied over four or five years. The liquidity condition was satisfied upon the Company’s IPO. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for these awards under the accelerated method. Refer to Note 10 for more details on stock-based compensation recognized for the year ended December 31, 2020 related to these RSUs.

 

The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

 

Valuation of Common Stock, Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, and Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant

Prior to its IPO, the Company determined the fair value of common stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock, and redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant in 2020, 2019 and 2018 based on the market approach under which its equity value was estimated by applying valuation multiples derived from the observed valuation multiples of comparable public companies to management forecasted financial results.

The Company used the Probability Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”) to allocate its equity value among outstanding common stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock, warrant, and equity awards. It applied the PWERM by first defining the range of potential future liquidity outcomes, such as an IPO, and then allocating its value to outstanding stock, warrant, and equity awards based on the relative probability that each outcome would occur. The valuation and allocation approaches involved the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that were highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding expected future revenue, as well as discount rates, valuation multiples, the selection of comparable public companies and the probability of future events.

 

Subsequent to its IPO, the Company uses the market closing price for its Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency for operating entities with employees and is the U.S. dollar for holding companies and pass-through entities. The assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Revenue and expenses for its foreign subsidiaries are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

Transactions on the Company’s marketplace occur in various foreign currencies that are processed by its PSPs. These transactions are collected on a regular basis and are converted to U.S. dollars or euros within the short period of time between the recognition of revenue and cash collection on a regular basis, which limits the Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk.

Amounts payable to merchants are denominated primarily in Renminbi (“RMB”) and other local currencies. 85% and 47% of the merchants payable amount was denominated in RMB as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Transaction gains and losses, including intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in interest and other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized net losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions of approximately $26 million, $9 million and $7 million, respectively, and recognized $1 million cumulative translation loss in 2020. Cumulative translation gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were insignificant.

Derivative Instruments

The Company conducts business in certain foreign currencies throughout its worldwide operations, and various entities hold monetary assets or liabilities, earn revenues, or incur costs in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange gains or losses which impact the Company’s operating results. As part of the Company’s foreign currency risk mitigation strategy, starting in 2020, the Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with up to twelve months in duration. In accordance with the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging activities, all derivative instruments are recognized at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and classified as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities. Derivatives in a gain position are reported as derivative assets, while derivatives in a loss position are reported as derivative liabilities. The Company’s derivatives transactions are not collateralized and do not include collateralization agreements with counterparties.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 The Company’s cash flow hedges use foreign currency derivative contracts to hedge exposures for variability in the U.S.-dollar equivalent of non-U.S.-dollar-denominated cash flows associated with its forecasted revenue related transactions. The Company bills its users based on their local currencies, primarily in U.S. dollars and Euros, and the Company makes payments to the merchants in China for products sold on the Wish platform in RMB, which creates exposure to currency rate fluctuations. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the cash flow hedging activities were primarily related to merchants payable. The Company hedges these cash flow exposures to reduce the risk that its earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. The Company recognizes changes in fair value of these cash flow hedges of foreign currency denominated merchants payable in accumulated other comprehensive loss in its consolidated balance sheets, until the Company settles its forecasted foreign currency denominated merchants payable. When the forecasted transaction affects earnings, the Company reclassifies the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge to core marketplace revenue. All amounts in other comprehensive income at period end are expected to be reclassified to earnings within 12 months. In the event the underlying forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge from accumulated other comprehensive loss to core marketplace revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no net gains or losses recognized in core marketplace revenue relating to hedges of forecasted transactions that did not occur.

 

Non-Designated Hedges 

The Company’s derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of currency exchange rate movements on its monetary assets and liabilities. These foreign exchange contracts are carried at fair value with changes in fair value of these contracts recognized to other income (expense), net in the Company’ consolidated statements of operations.

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

 

Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it 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 risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3

Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, no amount of benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized of any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency.

It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of interest and other income (expense), net as necessary.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is comprised of two components: net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized holding gains or losses related to derivative instruments, foreign currency translation and unrealized gain or loss on marketable securities.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“Topic 326”), which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, on a modified retrospective basis. The Company accounts for credit losses on its available-for-sale debt securities in accordance with ASC 326. Marketable securities, specifically corporate bonds and commercial paper, are accounted for as available-for-sale debt securities and are considered impaired when in an unrealized loss position where the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. The Company evaluates impaired marketable securities individually at each reporting period using a qualitative approach to determine whether the impairment has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If the Company determines that it will be more-likely-than-not required to sell an impaired marketable security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or if the Company has the intention to sell an impaired marketable security as of the reporting date, the amortized cost will be written down to its fair value. If neither of these conditions are met and qualitative factors indicate that a credit loss may exist, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the impaired marketable security with its amortized cost basis. An impairment related to credit losses is recognized through an allowance for credit loss that is limited to the excess of the amortized cost basis over the fair value of the marketable security. An allowance for credit losses is recognized through other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of impaired marketable securities not related to credit losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not believe any of the impaired marketable securities in an unrealized loss position represented a credit loss impairment and no allowance for credit losses was recognized.

The Company accounts for credit losses on its funds receivable in accordance with ASC 326. Funds receivable is evaluated for credit losses at each reporting period to present the net amount expected to be collected on the receivables. Any estimated expected credit losses, net of expected recoveries of previously charged-off amounts, are recognized to an allowance for credit losses for funds receivable. The allowance for credit losses for funds receivable is adjusted by a credit loss expense reported in earnings and reduced by charge-offs of funds receivable deemed not collectible, net of recoveries. Due to the short-term nature of funds receivable, the Company does not have a history of losses. The Company evaluates whether there are expected credit losses on funds receivable using a loss-rate method that is indicative of its past collection history and adjusts, if necessary, its estimate of expected credit losses for current conditions and subsequent events, including cash receipts, related to facts that existed as of the balance sheet date. Reasonable and supportable forecasts are not applicable to the Company’s estimate of credit losses due to the short-term nature of funds receivable. Funds receivable is evaluated collectively for impairment based on the PSP as credit risk for revenue transactions is concentrated in the PSPs’ ability to remit the net payment due from users to the Company. As of December 31, 2020, no allowance for credit losses for funds receivable was recognized.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty are to be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The adoption resulted in the incremental disclosures within Note 3 – Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software – (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”), which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. Any capitalizable software implementation costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020 were immaterial for capitalization, therefore the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020 for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed other recent accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business or no material impact is expected on the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.
