Netflix, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Netflix, Inc. (Netflix or the Company) and reflect all adjustments that are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results for any future interim periods or for the entire fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information disclosed not misleading. The unaudited financial statements and notes herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, which were included as part of the Companys registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-83878), as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22,
2002.
Description of business
The Company was incorporated on August 29, 1997 (inception) and began operations on April 14, 1998. The Company provides an online entertainment subscription service providing subscribers access to a
comprehensive library of filmed entertainment titles formatted on digital video disk (DVD). The standard subscription plan provides subscribers access to an unlimited number of titles, with three titles out at a time, for $19.95 per
month with no due dates or late fees. The subscribers select titles at the Companys website at www.netflix.com.
Use of
estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Initial public offering
On May 29, 2002, the Company closed the
sale of 5,500,000 shares of common stock and on June 14, 2002, the Company closed the sale of an additional 825,000 shares of common stock, in an initial public offering at a price of $15.00 per share. A total of $94,875 in gross proceeds was raised
from these transactions. After deducting the underwriting fee of approximately $6,641 and approximately $2,307 of other offering expenses, net proceeds were approximately $85,927. Upon the closing of the initial public offering, all preferred stock
was automatically converted into common stock.

3. Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash
equivalents. The Companys cash and cash equivalents are principally on deposit in short-term asset management accounts at three large financial institutions.
4. Short-term investments
Short-term investments generally mature between three months and three years from the purchase date. The Company has the ability to convert these short-term investments into cash at any point in time without penalty. All short-term
investments are classified as available for sale and are recorded at market value using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income.
5. DVD library
Historically, the Company purchased DVDs from studios and distributors. In 2000 and 2001, the Company entered into a series of revenue sharing agreements with several studios that changed the business
model for acquiring DVDs and satisfying subscriber demand. These revenue sharing agreements enable the Company to obtain DVDs at a lower upfront cost than under traditional buying arrangements. The Company shares a percentage of the actual net
revenues generated by the use of each particular title with the studios over a fixed period of time, which is typically 12 months for each DVD title (hereinafter referred to as the title term). At the end of the title term, the Company
has the option of either returning the DVD title to the studio or purchasing the title. Before the change in business model, the Company typically acquired fewer copies of a particular title upfront and utilized each copy acquired over a longer
period of time. The implementation of these revenue sharing agreements improved the Companys ability to obtain larger quantities of newly released titles and satisfy subscriber demand for such titles over a shorter period of time.
In connection with the change in business model, on January 1, 2001, the Company revised its amortization policy
for the cost of its DVD library from an accelerated method using a three year life to the same accelerated method of amortization over one year. The change in life has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate and is accounted for on a
prospective basis from January 1, 2001.
Under certain revenue sharing agreements the Company remits an upfront
payment to acquire titles from the studios. This payment includes a contractually specified initial fixed license fee that is capitalized and amortized in accordance with the Companys DVD library amortization policy. Some payments also include
a contractually specified prepayment of future revenue sharing obligations that is classified as prepaid revenue sharing expense and is charged to expense as future revenue sharing obligations are incurred.
DVD library and accumulated amortization are as follows:

6. Intangible assets
During 2000, in connection with revenue sharing agreements with three studios, the Company agreed to issue each studio an equity interest
equal to 1.204% of the Companys fully diluted equity securities outstanding in the form of Series F Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (Series F Preferred Stock). In 2001, in connection with revenue sharing agreements with two
additional studios, the Company agreed to issue each studio an equity interest equal to 1.204% of the Companys fully diluted equity securities outstanding in the form of Series F Preferred Stock.
The Companys obligation to maintain the studios equity interests at 6.02% of the Companys fully diluted equity
securities outstanding terminated immediately prior to its initial public offering. The studios Series F Preferred Stock automatically converted into 1,596,415 shares of common stock upon the closing of the Companys initial public
offering.
The Company measured the original issuances and any subsequent adjustments using the deemed fair value
of the securities at the issuance and any subsequent adjustment dates. The deemed value was recorded as an intangible asset and is amortized to cost of subscription revenues ratably over the remaining term of the agreements which initial terms were
either three or five years. Total gross intangible assets related to these agreements as of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 was $10,210 and $11,528, respectively. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 was $2,622 and
$4,043, respectively.
During 2001, in connection with a strategic marketing alliance agreement, the Company
issued 416,440 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. These shares automatically converted into 138,813 shares of common stock upon the closing of the Companys initial public offering. Under the agreement, the strategic partner has committed to
provide, on a best-efforts basis, a stipulated number of impressions to a co-branded Web site and the Companys Web site over a period of 24 months. In addition, the Company is allowed to use the partners trademark and logo in marketing
the Companys subscription services. The Company recognized the deemed fair value of these instruments as an intangible asset with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. The intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line
basis to marketing expense over the two-year term of the strategic marketing alliance. The gross intangible asset related to this agreement as of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002 was $416. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2001 and June
30, 2002 was $87 and $191, respectively.
7. Subordinated notes payable
In July 2001, the Company issued subordinated promissory notes and warrants to purchase 6,818,947 shares of its common stock at an
exercise price of $3.00 per share for net proceeds of $12,831. The subordinated notes had an aggregate face value of $13,000 and stated interest rate of 10%. Approximately $10,884 of the proceeds was allocated to the warrants as additional paid-in
capital and $1,947 was allocated to the subordinated notes payable. The resulting discount of $11,053 was being accreted to interest expense using an effective annual interest rate of 21%. The face value of the subordinated notes and all accrued
interest were due and payable upon the earlier of July 2011 or the consummation of a qualified initial public offering. As of December 31, 2001 accrued unpaid interest of $650 is included in the carrying amount of the subordinated notes payable
balance of $2,799 in the accompanying financial statements. The Company consummated a qualified initial public offering on May 29, 2002 and repaid the face value and
9

(in thousands, except share and per share data)
all accrued interest on the subordinated promissory notes. The repayment resulted in a non-cash interest expense of $10,695, related to the acceleration of the accretion of the discount, in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2002.
8. Revenue recognition
Subscription revenues are recognized ratably during each subscribers monthly subscription period. Refunds to customers are recorded
as a reduction of revenues or deferred revenue, as appropriate. Revenues from sales of DVDs are recorded upon shipment. Prior to adopting a subscription model, revenues from individual DVD rentals were recorded upon shipment.
9. Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic-value method. Deferred stock-based compensation expense is recorded if, on the date of grant, the current fair
value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Deferred compensation resulting from repriced options is calculated pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 44. Options granted to nonemployees are considered compensatory and are accounted for
at fair value pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123. The Company discloses the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for all employee stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with
SFAS No. 123.
In 2001, the Company offered employees and directors the right to exchange certain stock options.
The Company exchanged options to purchase approximately 900,000 shares of common stock with varying exercise prices in exchange for options to purchase approximately 900,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share. As of
June 30, 2002, options for approximately 700,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. The stock option exchange resulted in variable award accounting treatment for all of the exchanged options. Variable award accounting will continue until all
options subject to variable accounting are exercised, cancelled or expire. Once these awards are exercised, cancelled or expire, they will no longer be subject to variable award accounting. Variable accounting treatment will result in unpredictable
and potentially significant charges or credits to the Companys operating expenses from fluctuations in the market price of the Companys common stock. For each hypothetical one-dollar increase or decrease in the fair value of the
Companys common stock, the Company will record deferred compensation in an amount equal to the number of shares underlying the variable awards multiplied by the one-dollar change. However, to the extent these variable awards are not fully
vested, the stock-based compensation expense will be less than the amount we record as deferred compensation.
10. Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and
other gains and losses affecting stockholders equity that, under generally accepted accounting principles, are excluded from net loss, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale. The balances in accumulated other
comprehensive loss consist of unrealized losses on short-term investments.
11. Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock,
excluding common stock subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock
10
Netflix, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
and, when dilutive, potential common stock from outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, using the treasury stock method. All potential common stock issuances have been excluded
from the computations of diluted net loss per share for all periods presented because the effect would be antidilutive.
Diluted net loss per share does not include the effect of the following antidilutive common equivalent shares (rounded to nearest thousand):

12. Recently issued accounting standards
In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standard
(FAS) 145 Recision of FASB Statements no. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections Under Statement 4, pursuant to which all gains and losses from extinguishments of debt were required to be
aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. This statement eliminates Statement 4 and, thus, the exception to applying Opinion 30 to all gains and losses related to extinguishments of debt. The
Company adopted FAS 145 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and as a result has classified the charge related to the unamortized discount upon repayment of the subordinated notes payable as other expense, instead of extraordinary loss on
extinguishment of debt, in the accompanying statements of operations.
13. Stock split
On May 17, 2002, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to give effect to a one-for-three reverse stock split of
the Companys common stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for the Companys common stock including common stock options, common stock warrants, and net loss per common share information have been restated to retroactively
reflect the stock split.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding our expectations concerning amortization of intangible assets related to equity issued to studios, the impact of postal increases and disc usage on our
gross margins, the potential increase in subscriber acquisition costs, and future stock-based compensation expense.
These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ, including: our ability to manage our growth, in particular managing our subscriber acquisition costs as well as the mix
between revenue sharing titles and titles not subject to revenue sharing that are delivered to our subscribers; our ability to attract new subscribers and retain existing subscribers; fluctuations in consumer spending on DVD players, DVDs and
related products; competition; deterioration of the U.S. economy or conditions specific to online commerce or the filmed entertainment industry; conditions that effect our delivery through the U.S. Postal Service, including increases in postage;
increases in the costs of acquiring DVDs; and, widespread consumer adoption of different modes of viewing in-home filmed entertainment. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to
differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included as part of the Companys registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-83878), as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2002.
The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking
statements contained in this quarterly report, or to explain why actual results differ.
Overview
We are the largest online entertainment subscription service in the United States providing more than 670,000 subscribers access to a
comprehensive library of more than 12,000 movie, television and other filmed entertainment titles. Our standard subscription plan allows subscribers to have three titles out at the same time with no due dates, late fees or shipping charges for
$19.95 per month. Subscribers can view as many titles as they want in a month. Subscribers select titles at our Web site (www.netflix.com) aided by our proprietary CineMatch technology, receive them on DVD by first-class mail and return them to us
at their convenience using our prepaid mailers. Once a title has been returned, we mail the next available title in a subscribers queue.
We were organized as a Delaware corporation in August 1997. We have incurred significant losses since our inception. We expect that we will continue to incur losses, for the foreseeable future. We also
expect to incur significant marketing, technology and development, general and administrative and stock-based compensation expenses. As a result, we will need to significantly increase our operating margins to achieve profitability and may never
achieve profitability.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe the estimated life over which we amortize the costs of acquiring titles for our library and the selection of a method of amortization for the costs we incur to
acquire titles for our library are critical accounting policies because they involve some of the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
12
Change in Estimated Life of the Cost of Our Library
In late 2000 and early 2001, we entered into a series of revenue sharing agreements with studios which substantially changed our business
model for acquiring DVDs and satisfying subscriber demand for titles. These revenue sharing agreements enable us to acquire DVDs at a lower upfront cost than traditional buying arrangements. We share a percentage of the net revenues generated by the
use of each particular title with these studios over a fixed period of time, generally 12 months. Before the change in our business model, we typically acquired fewer copies of a particular title and utilized each copy over a longer period of time.
The implementation of these revenue sharing agreements improved our ability to acquire larger quantities of newly released titles and satisfy a substantial portion of subscriber demand for such titles over a shorter period of time. On January 1,
2001, we revised the amortization policy for the cost of our library from an accelerated method using a three-year life to the same accelerated method of amortization using a one-year life.
The change in life has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate and is accounted for on a prospective basis from January 1, 2001. Had we continued to amortize
the DVDs acquired prior to January 1, 2001 using a three-year life, amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 would have been $1.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively, lower than the amount recorded in our financial
statements.
Selection of a Method of Amortization of Upfront Costs of Our Library
Under our revenue sharing agreements, we remit an upfront payment to acquire titles from the studios. This payment includes a
contractually specified initial fixed license fee that is capitalized. Some payments also include a contractually specified prepayment of future revenue sharing obligations that is classified as prepaid revenue sharing expense and is expensed as
revenue sharing obligations are incurred. The DVD acquisition costs are amortized on an accelerated basis over one year. We believe the use of an accelerated method is appropriate because we normally experience heavy initial demand for a title,
which subsides once initial demand has been satisfied.

Unaudited Pro Forma Net Income (Loss) per Common SharePro forma
basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period (excluding shares subject to repurchase) plus the weighted average number of
shares of common stock resulting from the assumed conversion upon the closing of the initial public offering of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock as if the shares had been converted immediately upon their issuance. Pro forma diluted
net loss per share is computed using the pro forma basic weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential common stock from outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, using the treasury
stock method.
ChurnWe calculate churn as a monthly percentage determined as a quotient, the
numerator of which is the sum of the previous quarters ending subscribers plus the current quarters new trial subscribers minus the ending subscribers for the current quarter and the denominator of which is the sum of the previous
quarters ending subscribers plus the current quarters new trial subscribers and then dividing this resulting number by 3, which is the number of months in the quarter. For example, assuming ending subscribers for the previous quarter of
603,000; new trial subscribers of 236,000 during the current quarter; current quarter ending subscribers of 670,000, gives a churn of 6.7% [i.e. ((603,000+236,000-670,000)/(603,000+236,000))/3 = 6.7%]
Subscriber Acquisition CostWe calculate subscriber acquisition cost by dividing the total marketing expense for the period by
new trial subscribers during the period.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2002
Revenues
We derive substantially all our revenues from monthly subscription fees. Periodically, we generate revenue from the sale of excess DVDs. We recognize subscription revenues ratably during each subscribers monthly
subscription period. We recognize revenues from the sale of used DVDs when the DVDs are shipped.
Subscription revenues. Our subscription revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $35.6 million, representing a 105% increase from our subscription revenues of $17.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in total subscription revenues was caused by a 108% increase in the average number of subscribers from 306,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 637,000 during the three months ended June 30,
2002. We believe the average number of subscribers increased for several reasons including the continuing consumer adoption of DVD players, our increasingly effective marketing programs and the opening of ten regional distribution centers.
Sales revenues. Our sales revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were
$0.8 million, representing a 22% decrease from our sales revenues of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in our sale of used DVDs to resellers.
16
Cost of Revenues
Cost of subscription revenues consists of revenue sharing costs, amortization of our library, amortization of intangible assets related to equity investments issued to
certain studios and postage and packaging related to shipping titles to paying subscribers. Cost of revenues for DVD sales includes salvage value and revenue sharing costs for used DVDs sold.
Cost of subscription revenues. Cost of subscription revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $17.8 million, representing a
65% increase from our cost of subscription revenues of $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to the net effect of the following:
Revenue sharing costs. Our revenue sharing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $6.8 million, representing a 138% increase from
our revenue sharing costs of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was due primarily to a 108% increase in average number of subscribers between the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, coupled with an increase
in the mix between titles delivered to subscribers that were subject to revenue sharing versus titles that were not subject to revenue sharing. As a percentage of subscription revenues, our revenue sharing costs increased from 16.5% in the three
months ended June 30, 2001 to 19.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2002.
DVD amortization
costs. Our DVD amortization costs for the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $3.6 million, representing an 11% decrease from our DVD amortization costs of $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The
decrease was attributable to an increase in amortization in the three months ended June 30, 2001, which was caused by the change in the estimated life of our DVD library from three years to one year.
Amortization of intangible assets related to equity issued to studios. For the three months ended June 30,
2002, we recorded amortization costs related to equity issued to studios of $0.7 million, representing a 52% increase from our amortization costs of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in amortization was attributed
to increases in intangible assets caused by our obligation to issue additional shares to these studios upon dilution, which ceased immediately prior to our initial public offering. We expect amortization of intangible assets related to equity issued
to studios to remain relatively constant at approximately $0.7 million per quarter for the next six quarters.
Postage and packaging costs. Our postage and packaging costs for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $6.7 million, representing a 96% increase from our postage and packaging costs of $3.4 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to a 111% increase in the number of DVDs mailed to our subscribers, offset by a slight reduction in per unit packaging costs. On June 30, 2002, the rate for
first-class postage increased from $0.34 to $0.37, which will cause an increase in our per shipment cost of DVDs in future periods.
17
Cost of sales revenue. Cost of sales revenues for
the three months ended June 30, 2002 were $0.3 million, representing a 30% decrease from our cost of sales revenue of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in sales of used DVDs.
Gross profit. Our gross profit increased from $7.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 to $18.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, representing 38.9% and 50.2% of revenues, respectively. Our gross profit percentages increased primarily as a result of the growth in our subscription revenues and a
decrease in our direct incremental costs of providing those subscription services. In connection with the opening of our ten regional distribution centers, we have begun to see a modest increase in the disc usage by subscribers in those areas
serviced by our regional distribution centers. As a result of increased postage costs and disc usage, the Company expects gross profit percentages for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002 to decline two to three percentage points from the
gross profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and be in the range of 47% and 48%.
Operating Expenses
Fulfillment. Fulfillment expense represents those expenses incurred in
operating and staffing our distribution and customer service centers, including costs attributable to receiving, inspecting and warehousing our library. Fulfillment expense also includes credit card fees and other collection related expenses.
Fulfillment expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $4.9 million, representing a 35% increase from our fulfillment expense of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase
in the overall volume of the activities of our fulfillment operations and an increase in credit card fees. The Company recently completed opening ten regional distribution centers throughout the United States. The opening of these regional
distribution centers did not have a material impact on fulfillment expense because the expense associated with the regional distribution centers were partially offset by reductions in the fulfillment expense of our primary distribution center in San
Jose, California. As a percentage of revenues, fulfillment expense decreased from 19.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 13.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 due primarily to a combination of an increasing revenue base and
improvements in our fulfillment productivity due to our continuous efforts to refine and streamline our fulfillment operations.
Technology and development. Technology and development expense consists of payroll and related expenses we incur related to testing, maintaining and modifying our Web site, CineMatch technology,
telecommunications systems and infrastructure and other internal-use software systems. Technology and development expense also includes depreciation of the computer hardware and software we use to run our Web site and store our data. Technology and
development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $3.5 million, representing a 28% decrease from our technology and development expense of $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was caused primarily by
decreases in personnel costs as a result of employees terminated as a part of our restructuring during the three months ended September 30, 2001. As a percentage of revenues, technology and development expense decreased from 26.7% for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 to 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 due primarily to an increase in revenues.
18
Marketing. Marketing expense consists of marketing
promotional and program expenditures, costs related to free trial periods and marketing staff and other expense. We obtain a large portion of our new subscribers through incentive-based marketing programs with third parties and consequently our
marketing program expenditures fluctuate with the number of new subscribers acquired. The costs related to free trial periods includes revenue sharing costs, postage and packaging costs, library amortization costs and intangible amortization costs.
Marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $8.1 million, representing a 97% increase from our marketing expense of $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to a 168% increase
in the number of new trial subscribers for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 offset by decreases in the marketing cost per acquired subscriber from $47 to $34. The decrease in the cost per acquired
subscriber was due primarily to marketing staff and other costs remaining relatively constant in absolute dollars but declining 62% on a per acquired subscriber basis due to the large increase in acquired subscribers. As a percentage of revenues,
marketing expenses remained constant at 22% of revenues We expect the cost per acquired subscriber to increase for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002 due to increases in incentive based marketing programs. In addition, Blockbuster
announced in its June 2002 quarterly earnings call that it would begin testing this summer an in-store DVD subscription rental program, the DVD Freedom Pass, and that it may roll out this program nationwide by the end of the year. This program, as
well as potential competition from other sources, such as Wal Marts online affiliate Walmart.com, may impact our business and cause us to increase our marketing expenditures.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists of payroll and related expenses for executive, finance, content
acquisition and administrative personnel, as well as recruiting, professional fees and other general corporate expenses. General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $1.6 million, representing a 59% increase from
our general and administrative expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of personnel to support our growing subscriber base as well as increased directors
and officers insurance and property insurance costs and additional professional fees caused by public company filing requirements. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased from 5.6% for the three months ended June
30, 2001 to 4.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 due primarily to an increase in revenues.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $2.7 million, representing a 91% increase from our stock-based compensation expense of $1.4 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable to the issuance of options in 2002 with exercise prices below the deemed fair value of our common stock. Since our initial public offering, there is no longer any difference
between fair market value and the exercise price for new option grants and as a result no new deferred stock-based compensation has or is expected to arise from new awards. Consequently, we expect our future stock-based compensation expense will
relate to existing awards.
The increase in stock-based compensation expense also was attributable to increased
charges related to variable award accounting. In 2001, we offered our employees and directors the right to exchange certain stock options. We exchanged options to purchase approximately 900,000 shares of common stock with varying exercise prices in
exchange for options to purchase approximately 900,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share. As of June 30, 2002, approximately 700,000 of these awards were outstanding.
19
The stock option exchange resulted in variable award accounting treatment for all of the exchanged options. Variable award accounting will continue until all options subject to variable
accounting are exercised, cancelled or expire. Once these awards are exercised, cancelled or expire they will no longer be subject to variable award accounting. Variable accounting treatment will result in unpredictable and potentially significant
charges or credits to our operating expenses from fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. For each hypothetical one-dollar increase or decrease in the fair value of our common stock, we will record deferred compensation in an amount
equal to the number of shares underlying the variable awards multiplied by the one-dollar change. However, to the extent these variable awards are not fully vested, our stock compensation expense will be less than the amount we record as deferred
compensation.
For example, as of June 30, 2002, if the market value of our common stock was different by $1.00,
our deferred stock-based compensation would change by approximately $700,000 and our stock-based compensation expense would be affected by approximately $200,000. Once these variable awards become fully vested, our stock based compensation will be
affected on a dollar-for-dollar basis and a change in our stock price will directly impact the amount we record as stock-based compensation in an amount equal to the number of shares underlying the variable awards outstanding multiplied by the
change in the market value of our common stock. For example, assuming all of the approximately 700,000 variable awards are fully vested and outstanding and assuming an increase or decrease in the market value of our common stock of $1.00 in a
quarter, our stock based compensation expense or credit related to the variable awards for that quarter would be $700,000. As of June 30, 2002, most of these variable awards were not fully vested and had a variety of final vesting dates over the
next three years.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents offset by interest expense related to interest-bearing
obligations. Interest and other expense, net was $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, representing a substantial increase from our interest and other expense, net of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This
increase was attributable primarily to a non-cash $10.7 million one-time charge associated with our early repayment of all outstanding indebtedness under our subordinated promissory notes, related to the acceleration of the accretion of the
unamortized discount during the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June
30, 2002
Revenues
Subscription revenues. Our subscription revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $65.7 million, representing a 91% increase from our subscription revenues of
$34.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in total subscription revenues was caused by a 97% increase in the number of average subscribers for the six months ended June 30, 2001 of 277,000 to 546,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002. We believe the number of subscribers increased for several reasons including the continuing consumer adoption of DVD
20
players, our increasingly effective marketing programs and the opening of ten regional distribution centers during the six months ended June 30, 2002
Sales revenues. Our sales revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $1.2 million, representing a
25% increase from our sales revenues of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable to increases in our sale of used DVDs to resellers.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of subscription
revenues. Cost of subscription revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $32.7 million, representing a 13% increase from our cost of subscription revenues of $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
This increase was attributable primarily to the net effect of the following:
Revenue sharing
costs. Our revenue sharing costs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $13.3 million, representing a 152% increase from our revenue sharing cost of $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase
was due primarily to a 97% increase in average number of subscribers between 2001 and 2002, coupled with an increase in the mix between titles delivered to subscribers that were subject to revenue sharing versus titles that were not subject to
revenue sharing. As a percentage of subscription revenues, our revenue sharing costs increased from 15.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 20.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2002.
DVD amortization costs. Our DVD amortization costs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $6.0 million, representing a 60% decrease
from our DVD amortization costs of $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was attributable to an increase in amortization in the six months ended June 30, 2001, which was caused by the change in the estimated life of our
DVD library from three years to one year.
Amortization of intangible assets related to equity issued to
studios. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, we recorded amortization costs of $1.4 million relating to equity issued to studios, representing a 63% increase from our amortization costs of $0.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in amortization was attributable to increases in intangible assets caused by our obligation to issue additional shares to these studios upon dilution, which ceased immediately prior to our initial public
offering We expect the amortization of intangible assets related to equity issued to studios to remain relatively constant at approximately $0.7 million per quarter for the next six quarters.
Postage and packaging costs. Our postage and packaging costs for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $12.0 million, representing a 56%
increase from our postage and packaging costs of $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to a 95% increase in the number
21
of DVDs mailed to our subscribers, partially offset by a reduction in the per unit packaging costs. On June 30, 2002, the rate for first-class postage increased from $0.34 to $0.37, which will
cause an increase in our per shipment cost of DVDs in future periods.
Cost of sales
revenue. Cost of sales revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $0.6 million, representing a 34% increase from our cost of sales revenue of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was
attributable primarily to an increase in sales of used DVDs.
Gross profit. Our
gross profit increased from $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $33.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, representing 17.0% and 50.3% of revenues, respectively. Our gross profit percentages increased primarily as a
result of the growth in our subscription revenues and a decrease in our direct incremental costs of providing those subscription services, coupled with the reduction in DVD amortization costs in 2002 as compared to 2001. In connection with the
opening of our ten regional distribution centers, we have begun to see a modest increase in the disc usage by subscribers in those areas serviced by our regional distribution centers. As a result of increased postage costs and disc usage, the
Company expects gross profit percentages for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002 to decline two to three percentage points from the gross profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and be in the range of 47% and 48%.
Operating Expenses
Fulfillment. Fulfillment expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $9.0 million, representing a 25% increase from our fulfillment expense of $7.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to increases in the overall volume of the activities of our fulfillment operations and an increase in credit card fees. The Company recently opened ten regional distribution centers
throughout the United States. The opening of these regional distribution centers did not have a material impact on fulfillment expense because the expense associated with the regional distribution centers were partially offset by reductions in the
fulfillment expense of our primary distribution center in San Jose, California. As a percentage of revenues, fulfillment expense decreased from 20.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 13.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due
primarily to a combination of an increasing revenue base and improvements in our fulfillment productivity due to our continuous efforts to refine and streamline our fulfillment operations.
Technology and development. Technology and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $6.7 million, representing a 35%
decrease from our technology and development expense of $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was caused primarily by decreases in personnel costs as a result of employees terminated as part of our restructuring during
the three months ended September 30, 2001. As a percentage of revenues, technology and development expenses decreased from 29.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 10.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due primarily to an increase in
revenues and a decrease in the absolute dollar amount we spent on technology and development.
Marketing. Marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $16.0 million, representing a 49% increase from our marketing expense of $10.7 million for the six months
22
ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to a 136% increase in the number of new trial subscribers for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2001 offset by decreases in the marketing cost per acquired subscriber from $46 to $29. The decrease in the cost per acquired subscriber was due primarily to costs related to free trials and marketing staff and other costs remaining
relatively constant in absolute dollars but declining 55% on a per acquired subscriber basis due to the large increase in acquired subscribers. As a percentage of revenues, marketing expenses decreased from 30.3% for the six months ended June 30,
2001 to 23.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due primarily to an increase in revenues. We expect the cost per acquired subscriber to increase for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002 due to increases in incentive based marketing
programs. In addition, Blockbuster announced in its June 2002 quarterly earnings call that it would begin testing this summer an in-store DVD subscription rental program, the DVD Freedom Pass, and that it may roll out this program nationwide by the
end of the year. This program, as well as potential competition from other sources, such as Wal Marts online affiliate Walmart.com, may impact our business and cause us to increase our marketing expenditures.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was
$2.9 million, representing a 16% increase from our general and administrative expense of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in the number of personnel to support our
increasing subscriber base as well as increased directors and officers insurance and property insurance costs and additional professional fees caused by public company filing requirements. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative
expenses decreased from 7.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to 4.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 due primarily to an increase in revenues.
Stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $5.6 million, representing a 61% increase from our stock-based
compensation expense of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable to increased stock-based compensation for options granted with exercise prices below the deemed fair value of our common stock in the three
months ended March 31, 2002 and a substantial increase in the fair value of our common stock in the same three month period and its associated impact on our variable award accounting related to the repriced options. Since our initial public
offering, there is no longer any difference between fair market value and the exercise price for new option grants and consequently no new deferred stock-based compensation has or is expected to arise from any new awards. Consequently we expect our
future stock-based compensation expense, associated with options granted below the deemed fair value, will relate to existing awards.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and other income (expense), net consists
primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents offset by interest expense related to interest-bearing obligations. Interest and other expense, net was $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, representing a substantial
increase from our interest and other expense, net of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable primarily to a non-cash $10.7 million one-time charge associated with our early repayment of all outstanding
indebtedness under our subordinated promissory notes related to the acceleration of the accretion of the unamortized discount.
23
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our activities primarily through a series of private placements of convertible preferred stock, subordinated promissory notes and our
initial public offering. On May 29, 2002, we closed the sale of 5,500,000 shares of common stock and on June 14, 2002, we closed the sale of an additional 825,000 shares of common stock, in an initial public offering at a price of $15.00 per share.
A total of $94.9 million in gross proceeds was raised from this sale. After deducting the underwriting fee of approximately $6.7 million and approximately $2.3 million of offering expenses, net proceeds were approximately $85.9 million. As of June
30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $49.8 million and short-term investments of $42.0 million.
Net cash
used in operating activities was $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The $16.6 million improvement in cash from operations between
the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2002 was driven primarily by a $31.5 million increase in our revenues and a $3.3 million increased in our accrued but unpaid expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities increased from $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $51.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This
increase was attributable primarily to a $42.1 million purchase of short-term investments with a portion of our initial public offering proceeds and a $5.1 million increase in the costs related to the acquisition of titles for our DVD library. While
DVD acquisition expenditures are classified as cash flows from investing activities you may wish to consider these together with cash flows from operating activities.
Net cash used by financing activities was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, which increased to net cash provided by financing activities of $70.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was attributable primarily to proceeds from the sale of our common stock in our initial public offering that raised net
proceeds of $85.9 million, partially offset by the repayment of $14.2 million on our subordinated notes payable and $1.9 million on our other notes payable and capital lease obligations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to all entities. It applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and
(or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. As used in this Statement, a legal obligation is an obligation that a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute,
ordinance, or written or oral
24
contract or by legal construction of a contract under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 19, Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas
Producing Companies. The adoption of this standard will not impact our financial statements.
In July 2002,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when
they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring,
discontinued operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. Previous accounting guidance was provided by EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). Statement 146 replaces Issue 94-3. The adoption of this standard will not impact our financial statements.
Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while at the same time maximizing income we receive from investments without significantly increased risk. Some of the securities we invest in may
be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. For example, if we hold a security that was issued with a fixed interest rate at the then-prevailing rate
and the prevailing interest rate later rises, the value of our investment will decline. To minimize this risk in the future, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities, including commercial
paper, money market funds, government and non-government debt securities and certificates of deposit with maturities of less than thirteen months. In general, money market funds are not subject to market risk because the interest paid on such funds
fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate.

(c) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we issued and sold an aggregate of 90,642 shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of approximately $261,000, $0.001 par value
per share pursuant to the exercise of stock options issued under our Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Plan. All such shares were sold for cash to our employees or former employees. There were no underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to
such sales. We relied on Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933 for the sale of such shares.
In addition, on May
22, 2002, we issued an aggregate of 877,643 shares of our Series F Non-Voting Preferred Stock pursuant to pre-existing contractual obligations. This Series F Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of common stock just prior to the
effective date of the Companys initial public offering. No further consideration was paid for the issuance of these shares. There were no underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to these issuances.
On May 31, 2002, we issued 65,422 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of one of our outstanding warrants for $196,266. In
addition, on June 27, 2002, we issued 24,193 shares of our common stock upon the net exercise of one of our outstanding warrants. There were no underwriting discounts or commissions applicable to these issuances.
(d) Use of Proceeds.
On May 29, 2002, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and on June 14, 2002 we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 825,000
shares of common stock, pursuant to our initial public offering registered on our registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 333-83878). The aggregate offering price of and the gross proceeds we received from the
initial public offering was $94,875,000. The registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2002. The offering of the aforementioned shares terminated on June 14, 2002. The managing underwriters
for our initial public offering were Merrill Lynch & Co., Thomas Weisel Partners LLC and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. We reasonably estimate that the total expenses incurred by us in connection with the offering was approximately $9.0 million,
including an aggregate of $6.7 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and an estimated $2.3 million in other expenses, resulting in estimated aggregate net proceeds to us of $85.9 million.
26
We used $14.2 million of the net proceeds from the offering to retire our
subordinated promissory notes. The table below sets forth the aggregate net proceeds paid in connection with the repayment of our subordinated promissory notes, directly or indirectly, to:
|
· |
