PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

We are the leading provider of cloud-based business management software for the wellness services industry and a growing consumer brand, with more than 60,000 local business subscribers on our platform in more than 130 countries and territories. These subscribers provide a variety of wellness services to over 30 million active consumers as of December 31, 2016. Our integrated software and payments platform helps business owners in the wellness services industry run, market and build their businesses. We also help consumers more easily discover, evaluate, engage and transact with these businesses via the web, social sites and mobile devices.

Our Vision

Our vision is to leverage technology to improve the wellness of the world.

The MINDBODY Solution

Our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform is specifically designed to engage both the supply and demand sides of the wellness services industry. Wellness encompasses multiple dimensions of a person’s well-being – physical, emotional, social, occupational and spiritual, among others. As a result, we include health and fitness, integrative health, salon and spa, fine arts and children’s activities as categories within the wellness services industry.

Integrated Software and Payments Platform

Our platform is continuously evolving to help our subscribers simplify the way they run their businesses, attract, engage and retain more consumers, increase their revenues, and focus more on what they love to do – improving people’s lives. We have developed this platform with powerful functionality that addresses key aspects of operating a wellness business, including:

•

Client Scheduling and Online Booking. Our subscribers can give their consumers the opportunity to book their next visit wherever and whenever it is most convenient, whether through subscribers’ websites, social media pages, or mobile applications like the MINDBODY app or the subscribers' own custom branded app. We offer robust features that enable all four different types of scheduling that wellness businesses typically encounter:


◦	Appointments. One-on-one appointments typically require preparation time before the appointment as well as off-boarding time after the appointment. Our software can manage practitioner availability as well as gaps between appointments in a time-efficient manner.


◦	Open classes. Open classes offer reserved or drop-in attendance on a first-come, first-served basis. Our software can transact at different price points, send automatic check-in and cancellation confirmations, and manage waitlists to optimize capacity utilization.


◦	Enrollments and workshops. Enrollments and workshops are pre-registered events or series of classes with the same group of attendees. Our software offers the ability to set separate pricing outside of pre-paid packages and track absences, make-ups and various payment plans.


◦	Resource scheduling. To effectively manage their day-to-day business, wellness service providers need to manage and allocate their equipment and facilities. Our software can easily track, manage and allocate equipment and facilities for the classes and services these businesses provide.


•	Staff Management. With our staff and resource scheduling software features, subscribers can keep their entire staff schedule in one place, allowing them to manage staff availability, hours, substitutions, commissions and other compensation, all of which can be easily linked to payroll records.

◦

Staff Tracking. Subscribers can assign tasks, follow up and send notifications via the staff dashboard. By giving each staff member a unique login, subscribers can allow staff members to update their own availability on a single, unified schedule. Moreover, subscribers can have staff clock in and out through our platform so their work hours and gross wages can be tracked automatically. In addition, variable compensation including compensation based on classes and appointments delivered, or sales commissions earned, can be managed through our platform.

Table of Contents

◦

Payroll. Subscribers have the ability to set compensation rates per class, per appointment, per hour, or as a percentage of consumer payment for each individual staff member, as well as track and add gratuities earned into the payroll report. Additionally, subscribers can offer commissions to their staff for retail sales or promotions. Payroll is calculated automatically and exported to any of several popular payroll service formats, including ADP, Paychex and Exact Payroll Services.

•

Client Relationship Management. With our client relationship management features, subscribers have all of their consumer information in one place and can take advantage of powerful consumer relationship and marketing tools. Subscribers can securely store their consumers’ personal information in a unique profile and manage account, visit and purchase history for more effective service. Our platform also helps subscribers target new consumers, keep in touch with loyal members, and offer variable, targeted promotions and discounts.

◦

Client Tracking. Subscribers can maintain a comprehensive client profile, including contact information, photos, birthdays, preferences, purchase and visit histories, payment information and future schedules. Subscribers can also track the sales cycle and conversion of prospective clients. Clients can create and manage their own accounts with their preferred service providers, allowing them to browse products and services and make purchases from mobile devices and the web.


◦	The MINDBODY Network. Subscribers can opt in to this fee-based marketing platform (formerly the Marketing Platform) to feature their introductory offers (typically valid for a single-purchase) on the MINDBODY app and/or feature their services through third-party partner applications or websites, expanding their online presence to reach more prospective customers.


◦	Email Marketing. Subscribers can utilize our platform to send broad or targeted email marketing campaigns. They also have the option to sync to a third-party account with our platform, and create email lists that update automatically whenever client contact information changes in their site.


◦	Loyalty Programs. To reward consumers, subscribers can build a point-based client loyalty program, and set point values and minimum redemption requirements.


◦	Promotions. Subscribers can set up promotions to attract new consumers and give current ones an incentive to try something new.

◦

Automation. Subscribers can send automated text message alerts, push notifications and reminders to consumers about upcoming classes, appointments and more. Further automation examples include sending purchase receipts directly to consumers’ email addresses, receiving notifications when consumers book, confirm or cancel appointments, tracking online orders as they come in, and printing packing slips automatically as well as printing sign-in sheets for class, or using a tablet to set up a self-check-in station.


◦	Memberships. Subscribers can manage membership contracts and waivers, collect membership fees automatically through recurring payments, offer special discounts for products and services as well as create membership tiers to extend rewards and perks to their most loyal consumers.

•

Integrated Payment Processing. We offer our subscribers integrated payment processing solutions with our software at competitive rates. The integration between point-of-sale and payment processing saves our subscribers time by eliminating the need for error-prone manual reconciliations. In addition, our integrated payments platform allows for convenient and secure storage of consumer credit card information, which allows for seamless online bookings, recurring membership payments through our business management software and online store purchases through our subscribers’ websites, the MINDBODY app or third-party partner sites included in the MINDBODY Network.

•

Retail Point-of-Sale. Our point-of-sale capabilities help subscribers sell products and services, contracts and memberships, packages, workshops and store-branded gift cards. Our point-of-sale feature tracks product inventory levels and automatically issues purchase orders when product levels reach a re-order point. In addition, our point-of-sale capabilities can be used to track the cost of goods sold and gross margin for various products.

Table of Contents

◦

Purchase Tracking. Subscribers can sell products and services as well as memberships, monthly contracts and packages that combine products and services at their place of business and online. Subscribers can securely store consumer billing information to facilitate quicker transactions. Payments for classes or appointments can be applied before or after consumer check-in, and before or after the session is complete. Our point-of-sale functionality allows the assignment of staff commissions to appropriate parties.


◦	Inventory. Subscribers can set inventory re-order points, automatically generate purchase orders and easily log arriving inventory. As a result, subscribers can more efficiently manage availability, calculate gross margin and monitor inventory shrinkage, among other benefits.

◦

Payments. Subscribers can accept several types of cash or non-cash equivalent payment methods, including ACH, debit and credit cards. They can also set up payment plans and schedule recurring payments automatically from securely stored credit cards on file. Our payments platform provides instant authorization and nightly settlement of credit card, debit card and ACH transactions. Once a sale is complete, staff can void, edit or return the sale, and all of these changes are recorded in an auditable fashion. All consumer payment information is protected behind PCI Level I Data Security Standards, the most rigorous credit card certification standard available.

•

Analytics and Reporting. We track key information that helps subscribers achieve their business goals, including revenue growth, contribution margin of classes, consumer retention rates, referral sources, return on investment for consumer retention campaigns and practitioner performance based on consumer loyalty and reviews by class or type of service. Our platform also generates reports that help our subscribers allocate their resources, set budgets and measure their performance against goals. Subscribers are empowered to identify trends and opportunities for improvement in their businesses by leveraging the following analytics and marketing tools:


◦	Last Visit and No Return. Subscribers can pull the list of consumers who have not come back to the business for a given period of time designated by the subscriber.


◦	Best Sellers. Subscribers can view best-selling products and services, as well as profit margins.


◦	Cancellations and No Shows. Subscribers can check which consumers cancel or do not arrive for a scheduled visit, charge cancellation fees, or suspend consumer scheduling privileges.


◦	Referral Sources. Subscribers can gain valuable insights into their most effective marketing channels for attracting new consumers.


◦	Sales Forecast. Subscribers can forecast future sales revenue based on current prospects.


◦	Attendance with Revenue. Subscribers can break down revenue by each client visit, staff person, type of service and date.


◦	Attendance Analysis. Subscribers can compare consumer attendance levels across hours in a day as well as days in a week.


◦	Gross Margin. Subscribers can see the gross margin for each product and service.


◦	Promotions. Subscribers can tie every redeemed promotion code back to the client who used it, or analyze the overall success of any promotion effort.


◦	Account Balances. Subscribers can make account balance inquiries for any given consumer, and create a statement for consumers with negative balances.


◦	Retention. Subscribers can check client retention rate overall, or by individual staff member.


◦	Memberships and New Members. Subscribers can monitor consumer membership activity including new, renewing, canceling, active and inactive members as well as revenue associated with types of members.


◦	Commission. Subscribers can manage commissions earned by and payable to their staff.


◦	Transactions. Subscribers can sort all past transactions by what has settled, or is pending, voided, and returned.

Table of Contents

◦

Client Acquisition Dashboard. At a glance, subscribers can attribute new consumers to various acquisition channels. Subscribers can track purchases made by these new consumers and how much revenue each consumer has generated since that first purchase. Subscribers can also track which consumers purchased specific intro offers as well as the reviews generated about their business in the MINDBODY app.

•

Simple and Intuitive User Experience. We designed our business management software with a focus on developing a visually appealing interface that is simple, easy to use and meets the demands our subscribers have for modern web and mobile applications. Because we focus on a simple and intuitive user experience, our software platform requires little training and is easy to adopt for users across the entire organization, an important feature given the high employee turnover in the wellness services industry. At the same time, the intuitive interface of our platform is supported by complex underlying technology that powers efficient business management.


•	Branded web. Our branded web solution (formerly HealCode) gives our subscribers the ability to embed their MINDBODY class and appointment schedules within their web and social sites, creating a seamless and branded online experience for their customers.


•	Mobility. Our platform enables our subscribers to manage their operations anytime and anywhere via a number of mobile devices and operating systems, including Mac, iOS, Android and Windows.


◦	MINDBODY Express. MINDBODY Express is our native business-subscriber facing mobile app that enhances our core offering by allowing our subscribers to easily run their business, book consumers and sell products and services while on the go.


◦	Branded Mobile App. Our branded mobile app offering (formerly MINDBODY Engage) allows our subscribers to have their own native apps to create a unique branded experience for their consumers.


◦	MINDBODY Class Check-In. The MINDBODY Class Check-In app helps our subscribers create a better consumer experience at the front desk. Consumers can check themselves into class, freeing up front desk staff to help others and making it possible for instructors to start classes faster.


•	Social Integration. Our platform integrates with popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter. As an example, our platform allows our subscribers to publish schedules on their Facebook page, enabling consumers to directly book appointments and classes with them via Facebook.

•

Dynamic Cloud-Based Architecture. Our software platform is powered by a dynamic cloud-based architecture that allows our subscribers to manage their operations as efficiently as possible, while requiring low upfront investment and no maintenance. This architecture allows for automatic software updates and rapid launch of new product features while also allowing our platform to easily scale with subscribers as their businesses grow.

•

Open Platform for Third-Party Application Development. We have built an open and extensible platform with an application programming interface, or API, that offers developers access to our inventory of classes, payments and scheduling capabilities. Approved developers can pull information from and post data to our platform and use that capability to create a variety of unique applications with custom interfaces.


•	Integration with Other Cloud-based Partners. Our platform can be integrated with other cloud-based software that our subscribers may be using for critical business management tasks to extend the capabilities of our platform within a variety of focus areas such as automation, marketing, accounting, mobile and social.

•

Security and Compliance. We have consistently passed our Level I Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS, audits, indicating our compliance with the most rigorous level of credit card security standard available. In addition, we, in certain instances, collect, access, use, maintain and/or transmit protected health information in connection with providing services to subscribers who are subject to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. Our platform is engineered to provide high reliability and availability. We continually monitor our infrastructure for any sign of failure or pending failure and we take preemptive action to minimize or prevent downtime. We maintain the reliability of our service by utilizing redundant network infrastructure, clusters that tolerate failure of individual nodes, and deploying high availability server pairs. We also implement various disaster recovery measures, including full replication of hardware and data in our geographically distinct data centers, to minimize data loss in the event of a data center disaster.

The MINDBODY App

The MINDBODY app is our consumer-facing mobile app that lets consumers have a unified account with a single login to manage all aspects of their wellness activities with multiple MINDBODY subscribers. Consumers can discover local wellness services using a geo-located map function, view class and appointment descriptions, schedules and real-time availability, read practitioner biographies and user reviews written by consumers who have actually received the service, and then book and pay for their desired services in a few taps from their mobile devices. Through the app, consumers can also receive appointment reminders and check in to classes before they arrive, receive real-time updates regarding changes in class schedules and access their account profile to review their class visit and payment history. The MINDBODY app also surfaces our subscribers’ introductory offers through a recommendation engine that considers a user’s prior history and preferences, and uses their location to make targeted recommendations.

The MINDBODY Network

The MINDBODY Network is a fee-based marketing platform that connects our subscribers with local consumers via the MINDBODY app and third-party partner applications or websites. Subscribers who opt in to the MINDBODY Network receive greater exposure through additional promotion of their intro offers or deals on various screens throughout the MINDBODY app, as well as featured placement on third-party partner apps and/or websites.

MINDBODY API Platform and Partner Ecosystem

We have enabled a rich partner ecosystem that extends the value of our software and payments platform in powerful ways. Our partners have built applications that supplement our capabilities in areas such as marketing automation, accounting, loyalty, mobile and social interactions. Several of these partners have created significant consumer-facing businesses that rely on our unique inventory of classes, scheduling and payments capabilities. All of this is enabled by our APIs, to which we grant access to approved developers and partners. We also integrate with partners that provide email marketing, customer survey, events management and other functionality to augment the capabilities of our platform for the benefit of our subscribers.

Table of Contents

Software Subscription Levels

Because each of our subscribers is unique and at a different stage of their respective professional journey, our software subscriptions are provided on a tiered pricing model based upon different software functionality levels—Starter, Pro, Accelerate and Ultimate. Each of these levels has been carefully crafted to meet our subscribers’ differing needs and levels of complexity, giving them appropriate functionality to optimize their business.

Subscriber Services and Support

We have multiple teams within our customer support organization dedicated to maintaining a high level of subscriber satisfaction, including onboarding, data conversion and import, direct technical support, self-service, client care and client success. Our operations are structured with the subscriber experience in mind, and we strive to create a smooth process for our subscribers. We believe that providing a premium level of support to our subscribers is critical to enhancing our brand as a superior provider of business management software for the wellness services industry.

•

Ongoing Subscriber Support. Inclusive with our base subscription fees, we offer 24/7 customer service and support via phone, chat, emails, and self-help knowledge centers. All customer service and support is provided by our in-house personnel who are invested in MINDBODY’s core values and closely connected to our Product, Technology and Experience team. We have not outsourced our customer service.

Key Benefits to MINDBODY’s Constituents

Benefits to subscribers and wellness practitioners:


•	Simplified Operations. Our business management software and payments platform allows subscribers and practitioners to streamline and simplify their operations. MINDBODY automates a large number of time-consuming workflows, thus reducing the administrative effort and time subscribers and their employees need to invest in business operations.


•	Greater Focus on Clients. By simplifying the operations of wellness businesses, we enable subscribers and practitioners to focus on their clients. In addition, our analytical tools provide critical insights that help subscribers focus on optimizing their business and achieving their goals.

•

Increased Growth in Client Base and Revenue. We help our subscribers increase their consumer base by taking advantage of a free listing on the MINDBODY app, making them visible to a larger pool of consumers. Subscribers who choose to opt in to the fee-based MINDBODY Network receive greater exposure through additional promotion of their introductory offers or deals on various screens throughout the app, as well as featured placement on third-party partner apps and/or websites. Moreover, by having the ability to send reminders, promotions and special offers via email, text, push or in-app notifications to consumers based on a record of their past interactions, subscribers can increase their consumer engagement and loyalty. We also help subscribers sell their products and services through a variety of channels – an online store, their website, social sites, or the MINDBODY Network, thus helping them to increase their revenue opportunities.

Benefits to consumers:

•

Convenient Single Interface for a Variety of Wellness Services. We offer consumers a single platform to discover, evaluate and book wellness services. Our subscribers include a large variety of wellness businesses such as fitness studios, yoga, Pilates, massage, salons, and spas. We provide convenient “one-stop-shop” access to our subscribers’ wellness services through a variety of interfaces, including subscriber websites, social media sites, and branded apps, as well as searchable platforms like the MINDBODY app and third-party sites. In addition, reviews on our platform can only be written by consumers who have actually participated in a class or used a service. As a result, consumers are able to access credible reviews that provide a basis for informed decisions.

•

Time Savings and a Higher Engagement in Wellness Activities. We believe that our platform saves consumers time that would otherwise be required to perform online searches, browse through numerous websites and make phone calls to schedule or manage their desired wellness services. We also believe that our ability to allow consumers to more easily manage their wellness routine and consume more wellness services on a regular basis, increases their engagement in wellness activities.

•

Ability to Track Personal Health Data with Each Wellness Activity. New technologies, including third-party wearable fitness trackers, and mobile apps within the health and fitness category, enable consumers to track various aspects of their health and fitness. As part of this trend, the MINDBODY app offers consumers the ability to track their personal health data, and to monitor the effectiveness of their wellness activities. With the MINDBODY app, consumers can access their wellness activity history, such as class attendance frequency and class duration, as well as personal activity data tracked by integrated wearable devices.

Competition

The market for business management software and payments solutions for wellness businesses is highly competitive, fragmented and rapidly evolving due to technological innovations. We believe our competitors fall into the following primary categories:


•	On-premise software providers and small cloud-based providers that typically focus on a specific vertical within the wellness services industry;


•	Cloud-based software providers that offer generic scheduling tools with minimal customization by vertical; and


•	Payments services providers that offer basic scheduling tools.

In addition, for some small to medium-sized organizations, we compete with basic productivity tools that these organizations have adapted for scheduling and business management uses, including desktop applications (e.g., Microsoft Office, Google Docs), pen and paper, and spreadsheet tools for tracking and management purposes.

The principal competitive factors in our market include:


•	Industry expertise


•	Depth of product functionality and ease of use


•	Brand recognition and reputation


•	Ability to drive consumer demand via a large and rapidly growing consumer network


•	24/7 customer service


•	Price, especially for entry-level products


•	Product extensibility via APIs


•	Partnerships and integrations with major consumer brands


•	Integration with mobile devices


•	Payment processing integration


•	Marketing capabilities and analytics


•	Strong company culture


•	Security and reliability


•	Global presence

We believe that we compete favorably on the factors described above. However, some of our competitors have greater financial, technical and other resources, greater name recognition and larger sales and marketing budget; therefore, we may not always compare favorably with respect to some or all of the factors above.

Our Technology

We have developed our proprietary technology platform over the last decade, with a focus on delivering industry-leading breadth and flexibility of functionality. Our platform is built API-first with a service-oriented multi-tenant architecture, making it fully extensible to our business and consumer web and mobile applications, as well as complementary technology partner integrations. Maintaining the integrity and security of our technology platform is mission critical to our business and our subscribers’ success.

•

Reliable. Our platform is engineered to provide high reliability and availability. Our agreements with subscribers typically provide for a limited warranty relating to service level commitments. In certain circumstances, our subscribers may be eligible for credits if we are unable to meet these service level commitments. Our infrastructure is hosted in two dual redundant Tier 4 (the highest rating available) data centers separately located in North America. Our network operations center provides 24/7 monitoring of hundreds of sensors on all systems, including global synthetic and real user monitoring to ensure we have complete visibility into our platform and are able to instantly respond to any potential service issue.

•

Secure. Our platform hosts a large quantity of subscriber data and processes a large volume of business-to-consumer transactions. We therefore maintain a comprehensive security program designed to help safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our subscribers’ data, which includes both organizational and technical control measures. Our platform includes a host of third-party encryption, malware prevention, firewall and intrusion detection, data loss detection and patch management technologies to protect and maintain all systems. We routinely audit and review our security program. In addition, we regularly obtain third-party security audits of our technical operations and procedures covering data security to include the PCI-DSS, as well as Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16, or SSAE 16, and Service Organizations Controls 2, or SOC 2, Type I Attestation.

•	Scalable. We have developed a robust and scalable platform that processes millions of queries per day. By leveraging best-in-breed technology components, server virtualization, and a service-oriented architecture, we believe we can seamlessly scale our compute and storage capacity.

Our Subscribers

We have a diverse subscriber base with over 60,000 subscribers located in over 130 countries and territories across a variety of industries within the wellness services industry. No single subscriber represented more than 10% of our total revenue in any of fiscal 2016, 2015 or 2014.

Our Culture and Employees

Our company and employees share an exceptional corporate culture that is built upon a detailed set of core values that are reinforced throughout the company through new hire orientation, monthly corporate wellness initiatives and annual performance appraisals. Our employees thrive in a nurturing environment that is driven by innovation, passion for health and wellness and dedication towards excellent subscriber experience.

As of December 31, 2016, we had 1,350 employees. None of our employees is represented by a labor organization or is a party to any collective bargaining arrangement. We have never had a work stoppage, and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Sales and Marketing

We deploy a direct sales approach driven by an outbound tele-sales team located primarily in San Luis Obispo, California with several regional offices throughout the United States, and locations in the United Kingdom and Australia. Our sales team qualifies and manages prospective and current subscribers, aiming to initiate, retain, and expand their use of our platform over time. Our sales team partners with sales operations specialists to provide consultation and product demonstration to prospects to accelerate the onboarding of new subscribers.

Our marketing efforts are focused on generating awareness of our platform, creating sales leads, establishing and promoting our brand, and cultivating a community of successful and vocal subscribers and consumers. We utilize both online and offline marketing initiatives, including search engine and email marketing, online display and print advertising, participation in trade shows, events and conferences, permission marketing, social media and media outreach, and strategic partnerships and endorsements.

Our sales prospecting, lead qualification and lead development functions are performed by sales development representatives, and sales associates of which the majority work part-time schedules. Our sales and marketing headcount as of December 31, 2016 was 493. Our sales and marketing expenses were $56.5 million, $46.3 million and $30.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Research and Development

Our research and development organization is responsible for the ideation, research, design, development and testing of all aspects of our platform. To create a roadmap that meets the needs of our subscribers, we emphasize collaboration during the development process. Subscribers provide direct input through dialog with our customer support, product management, and user experience teams, as well as our community forum and feature utilization data. We deploy new features, functionality, and technologies for our platform through monthly software releases or updates to minimize disruption and deliver continuous improvement.

As of December 31, 2016, we had 222 employees in our research and development organization, which is based primarily in San Luis Obispo, California. Our research and development expenses were $30.3 million, $23.1 million, and $16.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws, a variety of contractual arrangements, such as license agreements, assignment agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, and confidentiality procedures and technical measures to gain rights to and protect the intellectual property used in our business.

Table of Contents

We have also developed a patent program and a strategy to identify, apply for, and secure patents for innovative aspects of our platform and technology. We have seven U.S. patent applications pending. We also have six pending patent applications in jurisdictions outside of the United States. We intend to pursue additional patent protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective.

We actively pursue registration of our trademarks, logos, service marks, and domain names in the United States and in other key jurisdictions. We are the registered holder of a variety of U.S. and international domain names that include the term MINDBODY and similar variations. We use several trademarks or registered trademarks for our products and services, including “MINDBODY,” and several logos and images, such as the Enso logo, as well as the slogans “LOVE YOUR BUSINESS,” “BOOK YOUR BEST DAY. EVERY DAY." and "CONNECTING THE WORLD OF WELLNESS."

We also rely on certain intellectual property rights that we license from third parties, including under certain open source licenses. Though such third-party technologies may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, we believe that alternative technologies would be available to us, if needed.

Our policy is to require employees and independent contractors to sign agreements assigning to us any inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments and other processes generated by them on our behalf and agreeing to protect our confidential information. All of our key employees and contractors have done so. In addition, we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our vendors and subscribers. We also control and monitor access to, and distribution of, our software, documentation, and other proprietary information.

Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our products and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products and services that compete with ours.

Some license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosures of our products may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions and foreign countries. In addition, the laws of some countries do not protect proprietary rights to as great of an extent as the laws of the United States, and many foreign countries do not enforce these laws as diligently as government agencies and private parties in the United States. To the extent that we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying and use of our products and misappropriation of our proprietary information may increase.

We expect that software and other solutions in our industry may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlap.

Seasonality

We believe there are significant seasonal factors that may cause us to record higher revenue in some quarters compared with others. We believe this variability is largely due to our focus on the wellness services industry, as many of our subscribers experience an increase in demand for their services in the first quarter of each year due to their consumers becoming more motivated to pursue health and fitness goals in the new year. However, this seasonality may not be fully evident in our historical business performance because of our significant growth. If our revenue growth rate slows, we expect that the seasonality in our business may become more pronounced and may cause our operating results to fluctuate in the future.

Segments

We have one operating and reporting segment consisting of various products and services that are all related to our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform for the wellness services industry. For our revenue, net loss and total assets, see our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on 10-K.

Geographic Information

Financial information about geographic areas is set forth in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a discussion of the risks attendant to foreign operations, see the information in Part 1, Item 1A: “Risk Factors” under the caption “Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.”

Government Regulation

Our business is subject to extensive, complex and rapidly changing federal and state laws and regulations.

HIPAA, Privacy and Data Security Regulations

In connection with providing online scheduling services for certain subscribers, we may be subject to specific compliance obligations under privacy and data security laws, including but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and similar state laws that govern the collection, use, protection, and disclosure of personally identifiable information. HIPAA imposes specific requirements regarding data privacy and security on covered entities (providers, health plans and health care clearinghouses); business associates (entities that may perform services for covered entities, pursuant to which they may access personal information); and business associates’ subcontractors, including us. We are therefore required to adopt certain practices and enter into certain contracts agreeing to protect personal information in specific ways. There may be civil and criminal penalties, as well as contractual ramifications, for violating HIPAA.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have a history of losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. In addition, our revenue growth rate may not sustain the levels experienced in recent years.

We have incurred a net loss in each year since our inception, including a net loss of $23.0 million, $36.1 million and $24.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, our revenue was $139.0 million, $101.4 million and $70.0 million, respectively, representing a 37% and 45% growth rate, respectively. Our historical revenue growth rates are not necessarily indicative of future growth, and we may not achieve similar revenue growth rates in future periods.

We have expended and expect to continue to expend financial and other resources on, among other things:


•	continuing the development of our platform, including investments in our research and development team, the development or acquisition of new products, features and functionality, and improvements to the scalability, availability and security of our platform;


•	expenses related to international expansion in an effort to increase our subscriber base;


•	improving our technology infrastructure and hiring additional employees for our sales, operations and customer support teams;


•	sales and marketing expenses, including personnel and lead generation expenses;


•	general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a public company; and


•	strategic acquisitions.

If we expend more resources on growing our business than currently anticipated or if we encounter unforeseen operating expenses, difficulties, complications, and other unknown factors, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability and our operating results and business would be harmed.

If we fail to increase market acceptance of our platform, enhance and adapt this platform to changing market dynamics and subscriber preferences, or keep pace with technological developments, our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects would be adversely affected.

We derive, and expect to continue to derive, a majority of our revenue and cash inflows from our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform for the wellness services industry. As such, market acceptance of this platform is critical to our success. Our ability to attract new subscribers and increase revenue from existing subscribers depends in part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing platform and to introduce new features, products and services, including features, products and services designed for a mobile user environment. Demand for our platform is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as the timing of development and release of new products, features and functionality by our competitors, technological change and growth or contraction in our addressable market.

To grow our business, we must develop features, products and services that reflect the changing nature of business management software and expand beyond our core scheduling and point-of-sale functionality to other areas of managing relationships with our subscribers, as well as their relationships with their consumers. For example, in 2013, we expanded our platform to include MINDBODY Connect (now the MINDBODY app), and in 2015, we introduced the MINDBODY Marketing Platform (now the MINDBODY Network), and began providing automated marketing functionality with our higher-priced subscriptions. The success of these and any other enhancements to our platform depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing and sufficient subscriber or consumer demand. Any new feature, product or service that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain defects or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate sufficient revenue. If we are unable to successfully develop new features, products or services, meet the demands of our subscribers for features, products and services that meet their business needs and are easy to use and deploy, or enhance our existing platform to meet subscriber requirements, our ability to achieve widespread market acceptance of our platform will be undermined, and our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects will be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

In addition, because our platform is available over the Internet, we need to continuously modify and enhance our platform to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communications and database technologies and standards. If we are unable to respond in a timely and cost-effective manner to these rapid technological developments and changes in standards, our platform may become less marketable, less competitive, or obsolete, and our operating results will be harmed. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive products and applications at lower prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete. Our platform must also integrate with a variety of network, hardware, mobile, and software platforms and technologies, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our products and services to adapt to changes and innovation in these technologies. Any failure of our platform to operate effectively with future infrastructure platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our platform. If we are unable to respond to these changes in a cost-effective manner, our platform may become less marketable, less competitive or obsolete, and our operating results may be adversely affected.

Our business depends substantially on our subscribers renewing their subscriptions to our platform. Any decline in the rate at which subscribers renew their subscriptions would harm our future operating results.

The vast majority of our subscription revenue is derived from subscriptions to our platform that have monthly terms. For us to maintain or improve our operating results, it is important that our subscribers renew their subscriptions each month. Our retention rate may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our subscribers’ satisfaction with our platform, our customer support, our prices, the prices of competing software systems, system uptime, network performance, data breaches, mergers and acquisitions affecting our subscriber base, the effects of global economic conditions and the strength of our subscribers' businesses. If our subscribers do not renew their subscriptions or renew but shift to lower priced software subscriptions, our revenue may decline and we may not realize improved operating results from our subscriber base.

If our network or computer systems are breached or unauthorized access to subscriber or consumer data is otherwise obtained, our platform may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing subscribers or fail to attract new subscribers, and we may incur significant liabilities.

Use of our platform involves the storage, transmission and processing of our subscribers’ proprietary data, including personal or identifying information regarding their consumers or employees. Unauthorized access to or security breaches of our platform could result in the loss of data, loss of intellectual property or trade secrets, loss of business, reputational damage, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws, regulations, or contractual obligations, and significant fees and other monetary payments for remediation.

If any unauthorized access to our systems or data or any other security breach occurs, or is believed to have occurred, our reputation and brand could be damaged, we could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to alleviate problems caused by such actual or perceived breaches and remediate our systems, we could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation or regulatory action and possible liability, some or all of which may not be covered by insurance, and our ability to operate our business may be impaired. If subscribers believe that our platform does not provide adequate security for the storage of personally identifiable or other sensitive information or its transmission over the Internet, our business will be harmed. Subscribers’ concerns about security, privacy, or data protection may deter them from using our platform for activities that involve personal or other sensitive information. Additionally, actual, potential or anticipated attacks may cause us to incur increasing costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees and engage third-party experts and consultants. Our errors and omissions insurance policies covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses may not be sufficient to compensate for all potential liability. Although we maintain cyber liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all.

Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for extended periods of time.

Because data security is a critical competitive factor in our industry, we make statements in our privacy policies and terms of service, through our certifications to privacy standards, and in our marketing materials, describing the security of our platform, including descriptions of certain security measures we employ. Should any of these statements be untrue, become untrue, or be perceived to be untrue, even if through circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we may face claims, including claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, brought by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, state, local or foreign regulators or private litigants.

Table of Contents

Because our platform can be used to collect and store personal information, domestic and international privacy and data security concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our platform.

Personal privacy, information security, and data protection are significant issues in the United States, Europe and many other jurisdictions where we offer our platform. The regulatory framework for privacy, security, and data protection issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. The U.S. federal and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on, or requirements regarding, the collection, distribution, use, security and storage of personally identifiable information and other data relating to individuals, and the Federal Trade Commission and numerous state attorneys general are applying federal and state consumer protection laws to enforce regulations related to the online collection, use and dissemination of personally identifiable information and other data. Some of these requirements include obligations on companies to notify individuals of security breaches involving particular personal information, which could result from breaches experienced by us or our service providers. Even though we may have contractual protections with our service providers, notifications related to a security breach could impact our reputation, harm customer confidence, hurt our sales and expansion into new markets or cause us to lose existing customers.

Further, many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the European Union and Canada, have laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of personally identifiable information obtained from their residents or by businesses operating within their jurisdiction. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of data that identifies or may be used to identify or locate an individual, such as names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses. These laws and regulations often are more restrictive than those in the United States and, at least with respect to the European Union, remain in flux. For example, with regard to data transfers of personal data from our European employees and customers to the United States, we have historically relied on our adherence to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Safe Harbor Privacy Principles and compliance with the U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Frameworks, which established means for legitimizing the transfer of personal data by U.S. companies doing business in Europe from the European Economic Area to the United States. In October 2015, the European Court of Justice invalidated the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor framework. In July 2016, the European Union and the United States announced the adoption of a new framework for legitimizing trans-Atlantic data flows, the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. In September 2016, we self-certified with the U.S. Department of Commerce under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield as a replacement to the now invalid EU-U.S. Safe Harbor Framework. Notwithstanding this certification, uncertainty remains as to whether the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and other legal mechanisms for the lawful transfer of data from the European Union to the United States will withstand legal challenges, whether from national regulators or private parties. If our privacy and data policies and practices, are, or are perceived to be, insufficient or if our customers have concerns regarding the transfer of data from the European Union to the United States, customer demand for our platform could decline and our business could be negatively impacted.

We also expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the United States, the European Union and other jurisdictions, and we cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. For example, in April 2016, the EU Parliament adopted the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, which, among other things, imposes more stringent data protection requirements and provides for greater penalties for noncompliance and is expected to take effect in May 2018. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations, and changes in the interpretation of existing laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could impair our or our subscribers’ ability to collect, use or disclose information relating to consumers, which could decrease demand for our platform, increase our costs and impair our ability to maintain and grow our subscriber base and increase our revenue. New laws (including, among others, the GDPR), amendments to or re-interpretations of existing laws and regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations and other obligations may require us to incur additional costs and restrict our business operations. In view of new or modified federal, state or foreign laws and regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations and other legal obligations, or any changes in their interpretation, we may find it necessary or desirable to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or to expend significant resources to modify our software or platform and otherwise adapt to these changes. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, industry standards or other legal obligations, or any actual or suspected security incident, whether or not resulting in unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release or transfer of personally identifiable information or other data, may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity and could cause our subscribers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. We may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and our ability to develop new products and features could be limited. Moreover, following a referendum in June 2016 in which voters in the United Kingdom approved an exit from the European Union, it is expected that the U.K. government will initiate a process to leave the European Union. The impact of the foregoing on data and privacy regulations in the United Kingdom remains uncertain. Any of these developments could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our subscribers may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our platform. Privacy, information security, and data protection concerns, whether valid or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our platform, particularly in certain industries and foreign countries.

Table of Contents

We are subject to a number of legal requirements, industry standards and contractual obligations regarding security, data protection, and privacy and any failure to comply with these requirements, obligations or standards could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.

As a service provider to our subscribers, we must comply with a number of data protection, security, privacy and other government- and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. For example, our solutions must conform, in certain circumstances, to requirements set forth in HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, which collectively govern the privacy and security of protected health information. Through the provision of online scheduling services to certain of our clients, we may collect, access, use, maintain and transmit protected health information in ways that may be subject to certain of these laws and regulations. Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business.

HIPAA applies to covered entities (e.g., health plans, health care clearinghouses and most health care providers) and to “business associates” of covered entities, which include individuals and entities that provide services for or on behalf of covered entities pursuant to which the service providers may access protected health information, as well as subcontractors of business associates who may access such information. Because certain subscribers that are HIPAA-covered entities or HIPAA-business associates may receive and transmit protected health information through our platform, we may be considered to be a business associate or a subcontractor to business associates with respect to these subscribers. Therefore, under the current HIPAA regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, if we experience a breach of patient information, the liability rules for business associates and business associates’ subcontractors could result in substantial financial and reputational harm to our business.

The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, or Privacy Rule, and the Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information, or Security Rule, which jointly govern the privacy and security of protected health information, could significantly affect our business. The Privacy Rule and the Security Rule require the development and implementation of policies, procedures and contracts to assure compliance. We have implemented certain compliance measures, but we may be required to make additional modifications or to document and implement additional policies and procedures to comply with evolving HIPAA rules and our subscribers’ business associate agreements with us. We may also be required to perform periodic audits and refinements as required by HIPAA and our subscribers’ business associate agreements with us.

Additionally, because we process a significant portion of our payments through debit or credit cards and enable our subscribers to engage in payments through our service, we are contractually required to maintain Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS, compliance as part of our information security program. We also may find it necessary or desirable to join industry or other self-regulatory bodies or other privacy, security, or data protection-related organizations that require compliance with their rules pertaining to privacy, information security, and data protection. We also may be bound by additional, more stringent contractual obligations relating to our collection, use and disclosure of personal, financial and other data. If we cannot comply with or if we incur a violation of any of these regulations or requirements, we could incur significant liability through fines and penalties imposed by credit card associations or other organizations, breach of contracts with our payment processors, or our growth could be adversely impacted, either of which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.

Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure may adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our continued growth depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential subscribers to access our platform at any time and within an acceptable amount of time. Our platform is proprietary, and we rely on the expertise of members of our engineering, operations and software development teams for our platform's continued performance. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of users accessing our platform simultaneously, denial-of-service attacks, or other security related incidents. For example, in 2011, we were subject to a denial-of-service attack that rendered our core software inaccessible for several hours. In addition, from time to time we experience limited periods of server downtime due to server failure or other technical difficulties. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times and as our platform becomes more complex and our user traffic increases due to, among other things, a growing number of subscribers and consumers originating from and demanding service in a greater number of countries. If our platform is unavailable or if our users are unable to access our platform within a reasonable amount of time, or at all, our business would be adversely affected and our brand could be harmed. In the event of any of the factors described above, or certain other failures of our infrastructure, subscriber or consumer data may be permanently lost. Moreover, our agreements with subscribers typically provide for a limited warranty relating to service level commitments. Our subscribers may be eligible for credits if we are unable to meet these service level commitments. If we experience significant periods of service downtime in the future, we may be subject to claims by our subscribers against these warranties. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed, and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

Real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in our platform could adversely affect our operating results and growth prospects.

Because our platform is complex, undetected errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs may occur, especially when updates are deployed or if there are issues with our secure access management procedures. Our platform is often used in connection with computing environments with different operating systems, system management software, equipment and networking configurations, which may cause errors in or failures of our platform or other aspects of the computing environments. In addition, deployment of our platform into complicated, large-scale computing environments may expose undetected errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs in our platform. Despite testing by us, errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs may not be found in our platform until after it is deployed to our subscribers or their consumers. We have discovered, and expect to discover in the future, software errors, failures, vulnerabilities and bugs in our platform, and we anticipate that certain of these errors, failures, vulnerabilities and bugs will only be discovered and remediated after deployment to subscribers. Real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our platform could result in negative publicity, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our platform, loss of competitive position or claims by subscribers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose for subscriber relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem and or repair goodwill with our subscribers.

Our payments platform is a core element of our business, and any failure to grow and develop our payment processing activities, or to anticipate changes in consumer behavior, could materially and adversely affect our business and financial results.

Our payments platform is a core element of our business. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, our payments platform generated 39%, 37% and 37% of our total revenue, respectively. Our future success depends in large part on the continued growth and development of our payments platform. If such activities are limited, restricted, curtailed or degraded in any way, or if we fail to continue to grow and develop such activities, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

The continued growth and development of our payments platform will depend on our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in consumer behavior. For example, consumer behavior may change regarding the use of credit card transactions, including the relative increased use of cash, ACH, crypto-currencies, other emerging or alternative payment methods and credit card systems that we or our processing partners do not adequately support or that do not provide adequate commissions to Independent Sales Organizations such as us. Any failure to timely integrate emerging payment methods (e.g., Apple Pay or Bitcoin) into our software, anticipate consumer behavior changes, or contract with processing partners that support such emerging payment technologies could cause us to lose traction among our subscribers, resulting in a corresponding loss of revenue, in the event such methods become popular among their consumers.

Table of Contents

Our payments platform is subject to U.S. and international rules and regulations, many of which are still developing. If we fail to comply with such rules and regulations or if new laws, rules or practices applicable to payment systems restrict our ability to collect fees from our payments platform, our financial results could be materially and adversely effected.

Payment processing is subject to extensive regulation in the United States and other countries where we operate, and presents a wide range of risks. We may encounter increased regulatory scrutiny and new regulatory compliance requirements brought about by evolving laws, rules and regulations. The payment processing activities on our platform are subject to price controls within the United States and other countries, and may be subject to an increase of price controls, including controls limiting the amount we are allowed to charge subscribers for processing credit card and debit card transactions. In addition, certain countries limit payments-related activities by foreign companies, including by restricting the transfer of funds out of such countries. Changes in the laws, rules or practices applicable to payment systems such as VISA, MasterCard or American Express, among others, including changes resulting in increased costs that we or our subscribers must pay, may force changes to our payments platform that could adversely affect our business.

If we incur an actual or perceived breach to our payments platform, we may incur significant liabilities and our brand and reputation may be damaged.

We may suffer an attack on our payments platform that results in a breach of consumer cardholder data. We maintain payment information for tens of millions of consumers on our payments platform, and we are a potential target for hackers and other parties attempting to steal credit card data via cyber-attacks or other means. As we increase our consumer base and our brand becomes more widely known and recognized, we may become more of a target for these malicious third parties. If we experience any actual or perceived data breach as a result of third-party actions, employee negligence or error, or malfeasance, whether or not resulting in the unauthorized acquisition of or access to cardholder data, we could incur significant liability, our business may suffer and our brand and reputation may be damaged. We could be required to pay extensive fines and costs related to any such data breach, including costs incurred to replace credit cards and cardholder information and provide security monitoring services, and we could lose future sales and subscribers, any of which could harm our business and operating results. Such fines and costs could become due in one or two business days following such breach and exceed the amount of cash available to us, thereby impacting our ability to operate our business. In addition, a data breach or failure to comply with rules or regulations of payment systems could also result in the termination of our status as a registered Independent Sales Organization / Merchant Service Provider, thereby dramatically impairing our ability to continue doing business in the payments industry.

We are subject to risks related to our reliance on third-party processing partners to perform our payment processing services.

We depend on our third-party processing partners to perform payment processing services. Our processing partners may go out of business or otherwise be unable or unwilling to continue providing such services, which could significantly and materially reduce our payments revenue and disrupt our business. A number of our processing contracts require us to assume liability for any losses our processing partners may suffer as a result of losses caused by our subscribers, including losses caused by chargebacks and consumer or subscriber fraud. We have in the past and may in the future incur losses caused by chargebacks and fraud. In the event of a significant loss by our processing partners, we may be required to remit a large amount of cash in one or two business days following such event and, if we do not have sufficient cash on hand, may be deemed in breach of such contracts. In addition, our subscribers may be subject to quality issues related to products or services provided by our third-party processing partners or we may become involved in contractual disputes with our processing partners both of which could impact our reputation and adversely impact our revenue. Certain contracts may expire or be terminated, and we may not be able to replicate the associated revenue through a new processing partner relationship for a considerable period of time.

We expect to initiate new third-party payment relationships or migrate to other third-party payment partners in the future. The initiation of these relationships and the transition from one relationship to another would require significant time and resources. New third-party payment processing relationships may not be as effective, efficient or well received by subscribers and their consumers, nor is there any assurance that we will be able to reach an agreement with such processing partners. Our contracts with such processing partners may be less lucrative. For instance, we may be required to pay more for payment processing or receive a less favorable revenue arrangement from our payment processing partners. We may also experience the termination of revenue streams due to such migrations.

Table of Contents

We may undertake to directly perform certain payment processing services and expand the scope of payment processing services we provide, which may require a significant investment of time and resources, and expand our exposure to potential liabilities.

In the future, we may undertake to directly perform certain payment processing services that we currently depend upon our processing partners to perform, expand the scope of payment processing services we provide, offer additional payment processing services or otherwise undertake additional responsibilities and liabilities related to such payment processing services. For example, in the future, we may undertake to act as a registered payment facilitator or payment service provider of the payment systems, providing merchants with a suite of services, including payment processing and funding and accepting payments as the merchant of record on behalf of other merchants. Any of these endeavors would require a significant investment of time and effective management of resources before presenting any potential upside for us, and may dramatically expand the scope of our potential contractual liability or exposure in the event of a lawsuit. Further, we may fail to effectively execute in performing such an expansion of services.

If pricing for our software subscriptions is not acceptable to our customers, our operating results will be harmed.

We have from time to time, increased the price of our software subscriptions, and may do so again in the future. For example, multiple times over the past three years, including most recently in January 2017, we increased pricing for one or more of our monthly subscription tiers, which we believe may have reduced the number of new subscribers adopting our software and may reduce the retention of existing subscribers. In the future, we may be required to refine our software tiers or customers may migrate to lower tier offerings or leave our platform entirely, which could adversely affect our subscriber numbers, revenue, gross margin, profitability, financial position and cash flow.

The market for business management software is intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The market for business management software for the wellness services industry is fragmented and rapidly evolving, with relatively low barriers to entry. We face competition from in-house developed software systems, other software companies, and traditional paper-based methods. Our competitors vary in size and in the breadth and scope of the products and services they offer. In addition, there are a number of companies that are not currently direct competitors but that could in the future shift their focus to the wellness services industry and offer competing products and services. Some of these companies, such as Intuit and Square, have or may in the future acquire greater financial and other resources than we do and could bundle competing products and services with their other offerings or offer such products and services at lower prices as part of a larger sale. There is also a risk that certain of our current business partners could terminate their relationships with us and use the insights they have gained from partnering with us to introduce their own competing products. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater name recognition, established marketing relationships, access to larger customer bases and pre-existing relationships with customers, consultants, system integrators and resellers. Additionally, some potential subscribers in the wellness services industry, particularly large organizations, have elected, and may in the future elect, to develop their own business management software. Certain of our competitors have partnered with, or have acquired, and may in the future partner with or acquire, or be acquired by, other competitors to offer services, leveraging their collective competitive positions, which makes, or would make, it more difficult to compete with them.

Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. With the introduction of new technologies, the evolution of our platform and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. Pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, increased churn, reduced subscriber retention, further losses or the failure of our platform to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business. For all of these reasons, we may fail to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, and if such failure occurs, our business will be harmed.

Failure to effectively expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our subscriber base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform.

Increasing our subscriber base and achieving broader market acceptance of our platform will depend, to a significant extent, on our ability to effectively expand our sales and marketing operations and activities, including internationally. We are substantially dependent on our marketing organization to generate a sufficient pipeline of qualified sales leads and on our direct sales force to close new subscribers. From December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016, our sales and marketing organizations increased from 422 to 493 employees. We plan to continue to expand our direct sales force, both domestically and internationally, and to increase the number of our sales professionals who have experience in selling to larger organizations. We believe that there is significant competition for experienced sales professionals with the sales skills and technical knowledge that we require, and this competition is particularly acute for us given that our headquarters is located in San Luis Obispo, a small city with fewer resources than the San Francisco Bay Area, where many companies competing for similar talent are based. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will depend, in part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining a sufficient number of experienced sales professionals. New hires require significant training and time before they achieve full productivity, particularly in new sales segments and territories. Our recent and planned hires may not become productive as quickly as we expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future in the markets where we do business. We cannot predict whether, or to what extent, our sales will increase as we expand our sales force or how long it will take for sales personnel to become productive. If our marketing organization does not generate a sufficient pipeline of qualified sales leads and our direct sales force is unable to close subscribers, our business and future growth prospects could be harmed.

Even if the market for our platform grows as expected, our ability to achieve long-term revenue growth will primarily depend on our ability to sell subscriptions to a large number of new small and medium-sized businesses on a consistent basis and in a cost-effective manner, with each sale constituting only a small portion of our overall revenue.

The market for our platform is highly fragmented. As a result, even if this market grows as expected, our ability to achieve long-term revenue growth will largely depend on our sales team’s ability to sell subscriptions to a large number of new small and medium-sized businesses on a consistent basis, with each sale constituting only a small portion of our overall revenue. To achieve this type of subscriber growth in a cost-effective manner, it is crucial that our platform is easy to use and implement without the need for excessive post-sale customer support. If we are unable to sell a large volume of subscriptions on a consistent basis, or if we are forced to incur excessive costs to provide post-sale customer support, our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects will be adversely affected.

Any failure to offer high-quality customer support may adversely affect our relationships with our subscribers and our financial results.

In deploying and using our platform, our subscribers depend on our 24/7 customer support team to resolve complex technical and operational issues, including ensuring that our platform is implemented in a manner that integrates with a variety of third-party platforms. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in subscriber demand for customer support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery of our customer support to compete with changes in customer support services provided by our competitors. Increased subscriber demand for customer support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and adversely affect our operating results. Our sales are highly dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing subscribers. Any failure to maintain high-quality customer support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality customer support, could adversely affect our reputation and brand, our ability to sell our platform to existing and prospective subscribers, our business, operating results and financial position.

Our quarterly results may fluctuate for various reasons, and if we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or investors, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline substantially.

Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. If our quarterly financial results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts who follow our stock, the price of our Class A common stock could decline substantially. Some of the important factors that may cause our revenue, operating results and cash flows to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:


•	our ability to attract new subscribers, retain and increase sales to existing subscribers and satisfy our subscribers’ requirements;


•	the mix of our subscriber base;


•	the volume of transactions processed on our payments platform;


•	the variability of revenues derived from our partners;

Table of Contents


•	the number of new employees added;


•	the rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force;


•	the entrance of new competitors in our market, whether by established companies or new companies;


•	changes in our or our competitors’ pricing policies;


•	the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the expansion of our business, including our sales force;


•	new pricing models, products, features or functionalities introduced by our competitors;


•	significant security breaches, technical difficulties or interruptions to our platform and any related impact on our reputation;


•	the timing of payments by subscribers and other payment processing partners and payment defaults by subscribers or other payment processing partners;


•	litigation, including class action litigation, involving our company, our services or our industry;


•	general economic conditions or declines in consumer interest in the wellness industries that we serve, either of which may adversely affect either our subscribers’ ability or willingness to purchase additional subscriptions, delay a prospective subscriber’s purchasing decision, reduce the value of new subscription contracts or affect subscriber retention;


•	changes in the relative and absolute levels of customer support we provide;


•	changes in foreign currency exchange rates;


•	extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments;


•	the impact of new accounting pronouncements; and


•	the timing of the grant or vesting of equity awards to employees.

Many of these factors are outside of our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our revenue, operating results and cash flows to vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenue, operating results and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

If we fail to manage the growth of our operations effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service or adequately address competitive challenges.

We have experienced rapid growth in our operations and headcount, which has placed, and future growth may continue to place, significant demands on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage this growth effectively. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to scale our technology infrastructure and continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, and our reporting systems and procedures. Failure to effectively manage growth could result in difficulty or delays in onboarding new subscribers, declines in quality or subscriber satisfaction, increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new features or other operational difficulties. Any of these difficulties could adversely impact our business performance and operating results.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth in a manner that preserves the key aspects of our corporate culture, our business and operating results could be harmed.

We believe that our corporate culture fosters innovation, creativity and teamwork. However, as our organization grows, we may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the beneficial aspects of such culture, and the failure to do so could adversely impact our ability to retain and attract the kind of employees necessary for our future success. If we are unable to manage our anticipated growth and change in a manner that preserves the key aspects of our culture, the quality of our products and services may suffer, which could adversely affect our brand and reputation and harm our ability to retain and attract subscribers.

Table of Contents

We depend on our executive officers and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key employees, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Stollmeyer. We rely on our leadership team in the areas of research and development, operations, security, marketing, sales, support, general and administrative functions, and on individual contributors in our research and development and operations. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. We do not have employment agreements with our executive officers or other key personnel that require them to continue to work for us for any specified period, and, therefore, they could terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of one or more of our executive officers, especially our Chief Executive Officer, or other key employees, could have an adverse effect on our business.

In addition, to execute our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel in the locations where we maintain offices is intense, especially in the San Luis Obispo area, where our headquarters is located, due in part to the relatively close proximity to the San Francisco Bay Area. We have from time to time experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. In some cases, we have recruited employees from the San Francisco Bay Area and other regions with a greater supply of managerial, sales and engineering talent, and in such cases, we have sometimes found it necessary to offer compensation packages that were larger than would have been necessary if no relocation had been required. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have and are located in areas in which sales and engineering talent is more readily available. Moreover, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our equity awards declines, our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees may be adversely impacted. If we hire employees from competitors or other companies, their former employers may attempt to assert that these employees have breached their legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be adversely affected.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, then our business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation as a differentiated and category-defining business management software company serving the wellness services industry is critical to our relationship with our existing subscribers and to our ability to attract new subscribers. The successful promotion of our brand attributes will depend on a number of factors, including our marketing efforts, our ability to continue to develop high-quality software, and our ability to successfully differentiate our platform from competitive products and services.

The promotion of our brand requires us to make substantial expenditures, and we anticipate that the expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive and as we seek to expand our platform. To the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, this revenue may not offset the increased expenses we incur. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, our business may not grow, we may have reduced pricing power relative to competitors, and we could lose subscribers or fail to attract potential subscribers, all of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy or reductions in information technology spending could limit our ability to grow our business and adversely affect our operating results.

Our operating results may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our subscribers. The revenue growth and potential profitability of our business depend on demand for business management software generally and for business management software serving the wellness services industry in particular. Historically, during economic downturns, there have been reductions in spending on information technology as well as pressure for extended billing terms and other financial concessions. The adverse impact of economic downturns may be particularly acute among small and medium-sized businesses, which comprise the vast majority of our subscriber base. If economic conditions deteriorate, our current and prospective subscribers may elect to decrease their information technology budgets, which would limit our ability to grow our business and adversely affect our operating results.

Table of Contents

The market for, and adoption of, our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform may not grow as expected.

It is difficult to predict adoption rates, demand for our platform, the growth of our addressable market, the entry of competitive products or services or the success of existing competitive products or services. Any expansion in this market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with our platform. If growth in the market and the adoption rates for our platform do not grow as expected, and as a result we are unable to increase the sales of subscriptions to our platforms, then our revenues could decline and our operating results would be harmed.

Our financial results may fluctuate due to increasing variability in our sales cycles due to, among other things, an expansion of the focus of our sales efforts to include larger organizations.

We plan our expenses based on certain assumptions about the length and variability of our sales cycle. These assumptions are based upon historical trends for sales cycles and conversion rates associated with our existing subscribers, many of whom to date have been small to medium-sized organizations. As we expand our sales efforts to include larger organizations, we expect to incur higher costs and longer and more unpredictable sales cycles. With larger organizations, the decision to subscribe to our platform may require the approval of more technical personnel and management levels within a potential subscriber’s organization than we have historically encountered, and if so, these types of sales would require us to invest more time educating these potential subscribers. In addition, larger organizations may demand more features and integration and customer support services. We have limited experience in developing and managing sales strategies for larger organizations and in successfully onboarding larger organizations as new subscribers. As a result of these factors, these sales opportunities may not prove to be successful or may require us to devote greater research and development, sales, customer support and professional services resources to individual subscribers, resulting in increased costs and reduced profitability, and will likely lengthen our typical sales cycle, which could strain our resources. Moreover, these larger transactions may require us to delay recognizing the associated revenue we derive from these subscribers until any technical or implementation requirements have been met, and larger subscribers may demand discounts to the prices they pay for our platform.

Other factors that may influence the length and variability of our sales cycle include:


•	our pricing terms;


•	the need to educate prospective subscribers about the uses and benefits of our platform;


•	the discretionary nature of purchasing and budget cycles and decisions;


•	the competitive nature of evaluation and purchasing processes;


•	evolving functionality demands;


•	announcements or planned introductions of new products, features or functionality by us or our competitors; and


•	lengthy purchasing approval processes, particularly among larger organizations.

If we are unsuccessful expanding sales to larger organizations, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, if we are unable to close one or more expected significant transactions with subscribers in a particular period, or if one or more expected transactions are delayed until a subsequent period, our operating results for that period, and for any future periods in which revenue from such transactions would otherwise have been recognized, may be adversely affected.

Our future performance depends in part on support from our partner ecosystem.

We depend on our partner ecosystem to create apps that will integrate with our platform. This presents certain risks to our business, including:


•	these apps may not meet the same quality standards that we apply to our own development efforts (including, among other things, data and privacy protections), and to the extent they contain bugs or defects, they may create disruptions in our subscribers’ use of our platform or adversely affect our brand;


•	these apps are subject to removal from third party distribution platforms, including Apple’s App Store and Google Play, among others;


•	we do not currently provide substantive support for software apps developed by our partner ecosystem, and users may be left without adequate support and potentially cease using our platform if our partners do not provide adequate support for these apps;


•	our partners may not possess the appropriate intellectual property rights to develop and share their apps;

Table of Contents


•	our relationship with our partners may change, which could adversely affect our revenue and our results of operations;


•	our revenues from technology and API partners have grown rapidly in recent periods and, if our relationship with partners who contribute or have contributed more significantly to this growth or demand for products or services of these partners changes, this could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations;


•	some of our partners may use the insight they gain from integrating with our software and from information publicly available to develop competing products or product features; and


•	our partners may establish relationships with, or functionality to offer to, our subscribers that diminish or eliminate the need or desire for our API platform.

Many of these risks are not within our control to prevent, and our brand may be damaged if these apps do not perform to our users’ satisfaction and that dissatisfaction is attributed to us.

The number of actual consumers using our platform may be lower than the number we have estimated.

We estimate that over 30 million active consumers used our platform during the two years ended December 31, 2016. While we do not directly monetize consumers of our subscribers’ services, we believe that growth in the number of active consumers on our platform also contributes to our subscriber growth. In calculating this number, we have attempted to avoid duplicative counting of consumers by identifying consumers who may have used our platform through different subscribers. However, in certain cases, a single consumer may have transacted with multiple subscribers under slightly different names, in which case there is a chance that we have counted the same consumer more than once. Given the challenges inherent in identifying whether a single consumer has engaged in transactions on our platform under different names, we do not have a reliable way of identifying the precise number of consumers using our platform. If the number of actual consumers is materially lower than our expectations, our business may not grow as fast as we expect, which could harm our operating and financial results and cause our stock price to decline.

Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

In the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we derived 17% and 16%, respectively, of our revenue from subscribers located outside of the United States. We are continuing to expand our international operations as part of our growth strategy. We currently have sales personnel and sales and customer support operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Our sales organization outside the United States is substantially smaller than our sales organization in the United States. We believe our ability to convince new subscribers to subscribe to our platform or to convince existing subscribers to renew or expand their use of our platform is directly correlated to the level of engagement we obtain with the subscriber. To the extent we are unable to effectively engage with non-U.S. subscribers due to our limited sales force capacity, we may be unable to effectively grow in international markets.

Our international operations subject us to a variety of additional risks and challenges, including:


•	increased management, travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with having multiple international operations;


•	compliance with foreign privacy, information security, and data protection laws and regulations and the risks and costs of non-compliance;


•	longer payment cycles and difficulties in enforcing contracts, collecting accounts receivable or satisfying revenue recognition criteria, especially in emerging markets;


•	increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;


•	uncertainty regarding the expected departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union;


•	requirements or preferences for domestic products;


•	differing technical standards, existing or future regulatory and certification requirements and required features and functionality;


•	economic conditions in each country or region and general economic uncertainty around the world;


•	compliance with laws and regulations for foreign operations, including anti-bribery laws (such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA, the U.S. Travel Act, and the U.K. Bribery Act

Table of Contents

2010), import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell our platform in certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of non-compliance;


•	heightened risks of unfair or corrupt business practices in certain geographies and of improper or fraudulent sales arrangements that may impact our financial results and result in restatements of our consolidated financial statements;


•	fluctuations in currency exchange rates and related effect on our operating results;


•	difficulties in repatriating or transferring funds from or converting currencies in certain countries;


•	communication and integration problems related to entering new markets with different languages, cultures and political systems;


•	differing labor standards, including restrictions related to, and the increased cost of, terminating employees in some countries;


•	the need for localized software and licensing programs;


•	the need for localized language support;


•	reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries and practical difficulties of enforcing rights abroad; and


•	compliance with the laws of numerous foreign taxing jurisdictions, including withholding obligations, and overlapping of different tax regimes.

Any of these risks could adversely affect our international operations, reduce our international revenue or increase our operating costs, adversely affecting our business, operating results, financial condition and growth prospects.

Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our international operations substantially increases our cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions. We may be unable to keep current with changes in government requirements as they change from time to time. Failure to comply with these regulations could have adverse effects on our business. In many foreign countries, it is common for others to engage in business practices that are prohibited by our internal policies and procedures or U.S. or other regulations applicable to us. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws and policies, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors, partners and agents will comply with these laws and policies. Violations of laws or key control policies by our employees, contractors, partners, or agents could result in delays in revenue recognition, financial reporting misstatements, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, civil and criminal penalties, damages, injunctions, other collateral consequences, or the prohibition of the importation or exportation of our platform and services and could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws with respect to our operations and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal and/or civil liability and harm our business.

We are subject to the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and possibly other anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees and third-party intermediaries from authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public or private sector. We use third-party representatives to sell our products and services abroad. In addition, as we increase our international sales and business, we may engage with additional business partners and third-party intermediaries to sell our products and services abroad and to obtain necessary permits, licenses, and other regulatory approvals. We or our third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, partners, and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities.

Noncompliance with anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws could subject us to whistleblower complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, suspension and/or debarment from contracting with certain persons, the loss of export privileges, reputational harm, adverse media coverage, and other collateral consequences. If any subpoenas or investigations are launched, or governmental or other sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially harmed. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could further harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Certain of our operating results and financial metrics may be difficult to predict as a result of seasonality.

We believe there are significant seasonal factors that may cause us to record higher revenue in some quarters compared with others. We believe this variability is largely due to our focus on the wellness services industry, as many of our subscribers experience an increase in demand for their services in the first quarter of each year due to their consumers becoming more motivated to pursue health and fitness goals in the new year. Our rapid growth rate over the last couple years may have made seasonal fluctuations more difficult to detect. If our rate of growth slows over time, seasonal or cyclical variations in our operations may become more pronounced, and our business, results of operations and financial position may be adversely affected.

Our business and growth depend in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties, including API platform partners, technology partners, and payments partners.

We depend on, and anticipate that we will continue to depend on, various third-party relationships in order to sustain and grow our business. We are highly dependent upon partners for certain critical features and functionality of our platform, including data centers and third-party payment processors supporting our payments platform. Failure of these or any other technology provider to maintain, support or secure its technology platforms in general, and our integrations in particular, or errors or defects in its technology, could materially and adversely impact our relationship with our subscribers, damage our reputation and brand, and harm our business and operating results. Any loss of the right to use any of this hardware or software could result in delays or difficulties in our ability to provide our platform until equivalent technology is either developed by us or, if available, identified, obtained and integrated.

Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with strategic third parties such as API platform partners, payments partners and technology partners requires significant time and resources. In addition, integrating third-party technology is complex, costly and time-consuming. Our agreements with partners are typically limited in duration, non-exclusive and do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services or to prevent or reduce subscriptions to our platform. In addition, our partners could develop competing products or services.

Our third-party partners may also suffer disruptions or weakness in their businesses unrelated to the relationships with us that could cause declines in their business performance. Such occurrences could be harmful to our financial results and cause our stock price to decline.

If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these strategic third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results could suffer. Even if we are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in improved operating results.

We depend and rely upon SaaS technologies from third parties and on technology systems and electronic communication networks that are supplied and managed by third parties to operate our business, and interruptions or performance problems with these technologies may adversely affect our business and operating results.

We rely heavily on hosted SaaS applications from third parties in order to operate critical functions of our business, including sales automation and pipeline management, billing and order management, customer support, access to our API, IT support, enterprise resource planning, payroll and financial accounting services. If these services become unavailable due to extended outages or interruptions, security vulnerabilities or cyber-attacks, including prolonged denial-of-service attacks, or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms, our expenses could increase, our ability to manage finances could be interrupted and our processes for managing sales of our platform and supporting and communicating with our subscribers could be impaired until equivalent services, if available, are identified, obtained and implemented, all of which could adversely affect our business.

Table of Contents

Our ability to provide services and solutions to our subscribers also depends on our ability to communicate with our subscribers through the public Internet and electronic networks that are owned and operated by third parties. In addition, in order to provide services on-demand and promptly, our computer equipment and network servers must be functional 24 hours per day, which requires access to telecommunications facilities managed by third parties and the availability of electricity, which we do not control. A severe disruption of one or more of these networks, including as a result of utility or third-party system interruptions, could impair our ability to process information, which could impede our ability to provide services to our subscribers, harm our reputation, result in a loss of subscribers and adversely affect our business and operating results.

We have in the past completed acquisitions, and we may in the future acquire or invest in companies. Such acquisitions and investments divert our management’s attention and may in some cases result in additional dilution to our stockholders. In addition, we may be unable to integrate the acquired businesses and technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions.

We have in the past acquired companies, including our acquisition of HealCode in 2016, and we may in the future evaluate and consider potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies, services, products and other assets in the future. We also may enter into relationships with other businesses to expand our platform, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution, discount pricing or investments in other companies.

Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products, personnel or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired company choose not to work for us, their software is not easily adapted to work with our platform or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management or otherwise. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our existing business, whether or not they are consummated. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment or business relationship may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.

Negotiating these transactions can be time-consuming, difficult and expensive, and our ability to complete these transactions may be subject to approvals that are beyond our control. Consequently, these transactions, even if announced, may not be completed. For one or more of these transactions, we may:


•	issue additional equity securities that would dilute our existing stockholders;


•	use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;


•	incur large charges or substantial liabilities associated with the acquisition;


•	incur acquisition-related costs, which would be recognized as current period expenses;


•	encounter difficulties maintaining relationships with customers and partners of the acquired business;


•	encounter difficulties incorporating acquired technologies and rights into our platform, providing access and rights to our internal systems, and of maintaining quality and security standards consistent with our reputation and brand;


•	incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;


•	encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company, integrating diverse software codes or business cultures or coordinating organizations that are geographically diverse and that have different business cultures; and


•	become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges.

The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial results.

We may be sued for various claims including, among others, commercial claims, employment claims, and alleged infringement of third party proprietary rights.

From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business, which may include claims, suits, class actions, government investigations and other proceedings involving alleged infringement of third party patents and other intellectual property rights, or commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, wage and hour and other matters. There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our future success depends in part on not infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. From time to time, we may receive claims from third parties, including our competitors that our platform and underlying technology infringe or violate a third party’s intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon such rights. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering our platform, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to indemnify our subscribers or business partners in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses, modify our platform or refund subscription fees, which could further exhaust our resources. In addition, we may incur substantial costs to resolve claims or litigation, whether or not successfully asserted against us, which could include payment of significant settlement, royalty or license fees, modification of our platform or refunds to subscribers of subscription fees. Even if we were to prevail in the event of claims or litigation against us, any claim or litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and other employees from our business operations.

Our use of “open source” software could adversely affect our ability to sell our platform and subject us to possible litigation.

We use open source software in our platform and expect to continue to use open source software in the future. We may face claims from others claiming ownership of, or seeking to enforce the terms of, an open source license, including by demanding release of the open source software, derivative works or our proprietary source code that was developed using such software. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our platform, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and operating results. In addition, if the license terms for the open source software we utilize change, we may be forced to reengineer our platform or incur additional costs. Although we have implemented policies to regulate the use and incorporation of open source software into our platform, we cannot be certain that we have not incorporated open source software in our platform in a manner that is inconsistent with such policies.

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our intellectual property. We currently have thirteen pending patent applications, but there is no guarantee that such applications will result in issued patents. We primarily rely on copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, subscribers, partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate.

To protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management, and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our brand and adversely impact our business.

We may not be able to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity financings, loan facilities, financing agreements for software and license maintenance and subscription payments by our subscribers for use of our platform. In the future, we intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth, and we may require additional capital to respond to business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions, and a decline in the level of subscriptions for our platform or unforeseen circumstances. We may not be able to timely secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. Any debt financing obtained by us could involve restrictive covenants relating to financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Class A common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Our loan agreement contains operating and financial covenants that restrict our business and financing activities.

Borrowings under our loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank are secured by substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual property. In addition, borrowings under our loan agreement are based on a percentage of our monthly recurring revenue for the prior months, up to $20 million. If our revenue declines, our ability to draw under the loan agreement could be adversely affected or if we were to draw under the loan agreement, a decline in our revenue could force us to repay all or a portion of the outstanding loan earlier than we may have originally anticipated.

Our loan agreement also restricts our ability to, among other things:


•	sell or otherwise dispose of our assets;


•	make material changes in our business;


•	enter into a transaction in which stockholders who were not stockholders immediately prior to such transaction own more than 40% of our voting stock after giving effect to such transaction;


•	consolidate, merge with, or acquire other entities;


•	incur additional indebtedness;


•	create liens on our assets;


•	pay dividends or make other distributions on our capital stock;


•	make investments;


•	enter into transactions with affiliates; and


•	pay off or redeem subordinated indebtedness.

These restrictions are subject to certain exceptions. In addition, our loan agreement requires us to maintain a certain percentage of our projected revenue. The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in the loan agreement, as well as any future financing agreements that we may enter into, could restrict our ability to finance our operations and to engage in, expand or otherwise pursue business activities and strategies that we or our stockholders may consider beneficial. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and future breaches of any of these covenants could result in a default under the loan agreement.

The loan agreement also contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods for certain defaults, including, among others, payment defaults, covenant defaults, the occurrence of a material adverse change in our business, defaults relating to certain legal processes affecting our assets or business, insolvency and bankruptcy defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, material judgment defaults, and material misrepresentations. Future defaults, if not waived, could cause all of the outstanding indebtedness under our loan agreement to become immediately due and payable and would permit Silicon Valley Bank to terminate all commitments to extend further credit and exercise remedies against the collateral in which we granted Silicon Valley Bank a security interest.

If we do not have or are unable to generate sufficient cash available to repay our debt obligations when they become due and payable, either upon maturity or in the event of a default, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. This could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition and our ability to operate and continue our business as a going concern.

We have in the past identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting that, if not properly remediated, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements in future periods and impair our ability to comply with the accounting and reporting requirements applicable to public companies.

Our independent registered accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, in connection with past audits of our consolidated financial statements, we identified a material weakness in the design of our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, we identified a material weakness related to the inadequate design and implementation of controls and procedures with respect to the identification of and evaluation of accounting for certain features, including the related fair value computation and accounting for transactions related to our redeemable convertible preferred stock.

The material weakness from our 2014 audit was related to the control over the accounting for certain features of and transactions related to our redeemable convertible preferred stock. Immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering, all shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock were automatically converted and reclassified into shares of Class B common stock. As a result, we are no longer subject to the accounting rules that gave rise to the material weakness and the related controls are no longer applicable. Moreover, as a result of the identification of this material weakness, we have implemented measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Nevertheless, we cannot be certain that other material weaknesses and control deficiencies will not be discovered in the future. If other material weaknesses or control deficiencies occur in the future, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately or on a timely basis, which could cause our reported financial results to be materially misstated and result in the loss of investor confidence or delisting and cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to decline. As a result of such failures, we could also become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could harm our reputation, financial condition or divert financial and management resources from our core business.

We face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

We conduct transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. While we have primarily transacted with subscribers and vendors in U.S. dollars, we have transacted in foreign currencies for subscriptions to our platform and expect to significantly expand the number of transactions with subscribers for our platform that are denominated in foreign currencies in the future. As a result of such foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of operations. In addition, to the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates, including, any fluctuations resulting from uncertainties relating to the expected departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union, cause our results of operations to differ from our expectations or the expectations of our investors, the trading price of our Class A common stock could be adversely affected.

We do not currently maintain a program to hedge transactional exposures in foreign currencies. However, in the future, we may use derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward and option contracts, to hedge certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The use of such hedging activities may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial effects of unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates over the limited time the hedges are in place. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments.

We may be subject to additional tax liabilities in connection with our operations or due to future legislation, each of which could materially impact our financial position and results of operation.

We are subject to federal and state income, sales, use, value added and other taxes in the United States and other countries in which we conduct business, and such laws and rates vary by jurisdiction. We do not collect sales and use, value added and similar taxes in all jurisdictions in which we have sales, based on our belief that such taxes are not applicable. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect sales, use, value added or other taxes on our sales may assert that such taxes are applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties and interest, and we may be required to collect such taxes in the future.

Table of Contents

Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. We generally conduct our international operations through wholly owned subsidiaries and report our taxable income in various jurisdictions worldwide based upon our business operations in those jurisdictions. Our intercompany relationships are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. These determinations are highly complex and require detailed analysis of the available information and applicable statutes and regulatory materials. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.

Although we believe our tax practices and provisions are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical tax practices, provisions and accruals. If we receive an adverse ruling as a result of an audit, or we unilaterally determine that we have misinterpreted provisions of the tax regulations to which we are subject, there could be a material effect on our tax provision, net income or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made, which could materially impact our financial results. Further, any changes in the taxation of our activities, including certain proposed changes in U.S. tax laws, may increase our worldwide effective tax rate and adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. In addition, liabilities associated with taxes are often subject to an extended or indefinite statute of limitations period. Therefore, we may be subject to additional tax liability (including penalties and interest) for a particular year for extended periods of time.

Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

As of December 31, 2016, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, of $103.0 million and $88.9 million, respectively, due to prior period losses, which, subject to the following discussion, are generally available to be carried forward to offset our future taxable income, if any, until such NOLs are used or expire. Our federal NOLs begin to expire in the year ending December 31, 2025, and our state NOLs started to expire in 2016 for the earliest net operating loss layers. In general, under Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we completed an analysis under Section 382 of the Code through December 31, 2014, and determined that we experienced multiple ownership changes during this period which will limit future utilization of NOL carryforwards. U.S. federal NOLs of approximately $430,000 are expected to expire due to limitations under Section 382 and, as such, have not been reflected in the NOL carryforward above. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, could result in additional ownership changes under Section 382 of the Code. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. For these reasons, we may not be able to realize a tax benefit from the use of our NOLs, whether or not we attain profitability

Changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may diminish the demand for our platform, and could have a negative impact on our business.

The future success of our business depends upon the continued use of the Internet as a primary medium for commerce, communication and business applications. Federal, state or foreign government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the Internet as a commercial medium. Changes in these laws or regulations could require us to modify our platform in order to comply with these changes. In addition, government agencies or private organizations have imposed and may impose additional taxes, fees or other charges for accessing the Internet or commerce conducted via the Internet. These laws or charges could limit the growth of Internet-related commerce or communications generally, or result in reductions in the demand for Internet-based platforms and services such as ours. In addition, the use of the Internet as a business tool could be adversely affected due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of Internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility and quality of service. The performance of the Internet and its acceptance as a business tool has been adversely affected by “viruses,” “worms” and similar malicious programs, and the Internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If the use of the Internet is adversely affected by these issues, demand for our platform could decline.

Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.

Our corporate headquarters are located in San Luis Obispo, California, and we utilize data centers that are located in North America. Key features and functionality of our platform are enabled by third parties that are headquartered in California and operate or utilize data centers in the United States. Additionally, we rely on our network and third-party infrastructure and enterprise applications, internal technology systems, and our website for our development, marketing, operational support, hosted services and sales activities. The west coast of the United States contains active earthquake zones. In addition, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant is located a short distance from San Luis Obispo. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane or other natural disaster, or a catastrophic event such as a nuclear disaster, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber-attack, war or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our app development, lengthy interruptions in our platform, breaches of data security or data integrity and loss of critical data, all of which could have an adverse effect on our future operating results.

We are subject to governmental economic sanctions and export and import controls that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we are not in compliance with applicable laws.

As a U.S. company, we are subject to U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations, and we are required to export our technology, software, products and services in compliance with those laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and economic embargo and trade sanction programs administered by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. U.S. economic sanctions and export control laws and regulations prohibit the shipment of certain products and services to countries, governments and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions. While we are currently taking precautions to prevent doing any business, directly or indirectly, with countries, governments and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions and to ensure that our business management software is not exported or used by countries, governments and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions, such measures may be circumvented.

Furthermore, if we export our technology, hardware or software, the exports may require authorizations, including a license, a license exception or other appropriate government authorization. Complying with export control and sanctions regulations for a particular sale may be time-consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Failure to comply with export control and sanctions regulations for a particular sale may expose us to government investigations and penalties, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

If we are found to be in violation of U.S. sanctions or export control laws, it could result in fines or penalties for us and for individuals, including civil penalties of up to $250,000 or twice the value of the transaction, whichever is greater, per violation, and in the event of conviction for a criminal violation for willful and knowing violations, fines of up to $1 million and possible incarceration for those responsible could be imposed against employees and managers. In addition, we may lose our export or import privileges and suffer reputational harm.

In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain encryption technology, including imposing import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to offer our platform or distribute our platform or could limit our subscribers’ ability to implement our platform in those countries. Changes in our platform or future changes in export and import regulations may create delays in the introduction of our platform in international markets or prevent our subscribers with international operations from deploying our platform globally. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions or related legislation, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our platform by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our platform to, existing or potential subscribers with international operations. Any decreased use of our platform or limitation on our ability to export or sell our platform would likely adversely affect our business operations and financial results.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock

The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who held our capital stock prior to the completion of our initial public offering, including our executive officers, employees and directors and their affiliates, which limits your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

Our Class B common stock has ten votes per share, and our Class A common stock has one vote per share. Stockholders who held shares of our Class B common stock as of December 31, 2016, including, among others, our executive officers, employees and directors and their respective affiliates, collectively held approximately 76.0% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock as of such date. Because of the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Class B common stock and Class A common stock, the holders of our Class B common stock will collectively continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our capital stock and therefore be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval so long as the shares of our Class B common stock represent at least 9.1% of all outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock. These holders of our Class B common stock may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

Future transfers by holders of our Class B common stock will generally result in those shares converting into shares of our Class A common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for tax or estate planning purposes. The conversion of shares of our Class B common stock into shares of our Class A common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class B common stock who retain their shares in the long term. Significant individual holders of our Class B common stock include our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Stollmeyer. If, for example, Mr. Stollmeyer retains a significant portion of his holdings of shares of our Class B common stock for an extended period of time, he could control a significant portion of the voting power of our capital stock for the foreseeable future. In addition, Mr. Stollmeyer is one of two holders of an irrevocable proxy to vote certain shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by certain of our stockholders. As a board member, Mr. Stollmeyer owes a fiduciary duty to our stockholders and must act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of our stockholders. As a stockholder, Mr. Stollmeyer is entitled to vote his shares in his own interest, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders generally.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Among other things, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions:


•	establishing a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms;


•	authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock;


•	limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;


•	limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings;


•	requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors;


•	controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings; and


•	authorizing two classes of common stock, as discussed above.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents certain stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding capital stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding common stock not held by any such stockholder.

Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our capital stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class A common stock.

An active trading market for our Class A common stock may not be sustained.

Our Class A common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “MB.” However, we cannot assure you that an active trading market for our Class A common stock will be sustained. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of any trading market, your ability to sell your shares of our Class A common stock when desired or the prices that you may obtain for your shares of our Class A common stock.

The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Prior to our initial public offering, there had been no public market for shares of our Class A common stock. The market price of our Class A common stock since our initial public offering has been and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the market price of our Class A common stock include the following:


•	price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;


•	volatility in the market prices and trading volumes of technology securities;


•	changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology companies generally or those in our industry in particular;


•	sales of shares of our Class A common stock by us or our stockholders;


•	failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts who follow us, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;


•	the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in those projections or our failure to meet those projections;


•	announcements by us or our competitors of new products or services;


•	the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC;


•	rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;


•	actual or anticipated changes in our operating results or fluctuations in our operating results;


•	actual or anticipated developments in our business, our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;


•	litigation involving us, our industry or both, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors;


•	developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;


•	announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;


•	political, economic and regulatory developments in the United States, including as a result of the recent presidential election;


•	new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;


•	changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles;


•	any significant change in our management; and


•	general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of our markets.

In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.

Future sales of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Class A common stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Class A common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. As of December 31, 2016, we had 30.8 million shares of Class A common stock and 9.8 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding. All outstanding shares of Class A common stock are freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, except for any shares held by our affiliates as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and subject in some cases to our insider trading policy.

In addition, shares of our capital stock (including those shares of our capital stock issued upon exercise of outstanding options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock or upon settlement of outstanding restricted stock units) may be freely sold in the public market upon issuance and once vested, subject to other restrictions provided under the terms of the applicable plan and/or the award agreements, and except for any options or restricted stock units held by our affiliates and subject to our insider trading policy. Certain of our existing stockholders are also entitled under contracts providing for registration rights, to require us to file registration statements covering the sale of their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. Any sales of securities by these stockholders, or the expectation that such sales may occur, could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our Class A common stock and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our Class A common stock.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the listing requirements of the securities exchange on which our Class A common stock is traded and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations has increased and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs, made some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly, and increased demand on our systems and resources. Among other things, the Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business and results of operations. Although we have already hired additional employees to comply with these requirements, we may need to hire even more employees in the future, which will increase our costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment will increase our general and administrative expense and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards are unsuccessful, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

Being a public company and these new rules and regulations have made it more expensive for us to maintain director and officer liability insurance, and in the future we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee.

In addition, as a result of our disclosure obligations as a public company, we have reduced strategic flexibility and are under pressure to focus on short-term results, which may adversely impact our ability to achieve long-term profitability.

Table of Contents

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors.

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the independent auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in the Exchange Act. We cannot predict if investors will find our Class A common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class A common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile and may decline.

In addition, the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. However, we have chosen to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

If our internal control over financial reporting is not effective, it may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our Class A common stock could decline.

Pursuant to the Exchange Act and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are required to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and we will be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements when we cease to be an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act. This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. While management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016, there can be no assurance that material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. As a result, we may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring accounting or internal audit staff. Our remediation efforts may not enable us to avoid a material weakness in the future.

If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our auditors, when required, are unable to attest to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, our market or our competitors, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock, the market price of our Class A common stock and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Class A common stock is influenced by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who cover us adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock or provide more favorable recommendations about our competitors, the market price of our Class A common stock would likely decline. If any of the analysts who cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price of our Class A common stock and trading volume to decline.

We do not expect to declare any dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future so any returns will be limited to changes in the value of our Class A common stock.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, our existing loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank imposes restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of our Class A common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase shares of our Class A common stock.

Item 2. Properties.

Our corporate headquarters are located in San Luis Obispo, California, where we operate under various leases for an aggregate of approximately 160,000 square feet of space. These leases expire between November 2017 and June 2030.

We lease additional offices throughout the United States and various international locations, including the United Kingdom and Australia. We lease all of our facilities and do not own any real property. We intend to procure additional space as we add employees and expand geographically. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate any such expansion of our operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that in the opinion of our management, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the section titled “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We are the leading provider of cloud-based business management software for the wellness services industry and a growing consumer brand, with over 60,000 local business subscribers on our platform in over 130 countries and territories. These subscribers provide a variety of wellness services to over 30 million active consumers as of December 31, 2016. We are also a leading payments platform dedicated to the wellness services industry transacting approximately $6.5 billion and $5.1 billion on our payments platform for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively, representing a 28% increase year over year.

We were founded in 2001 with a vision to leverage technology to improve the wellness of the world by addressing the vast and growing demand for business management software specifically designed for the wellness services industry. We started as a hybrid desktop-web solution focused on yoga, Pilates and spinning businesses. In 2005, we released our software as a service platform and began to scale our business into adjacent fitness categories, increasing our total addressable market and fueling growth in consumer online bookings. Since then, we have made significant investments in our platform to enable increased penetration and continued growth in consumer online bookings.

In 2009, we released MINDBODY Finder, enabling available classes and appointments to be aggregated for consumer search; released our API platform, enabling developers and integration partners to build custom private apps and consumer-facing businesses on our platform; and released aggregated consumer-facing scheduling capabilities to our consumer-facing partners. In 2011, Fitness Mobile Apps used our API platform to build subscriber-branded apps that enabled consumers to search for and book classes easily from their mobile phones. In 2013, we launched our MINDBODY Express mobile app for businesses and our MINDBODY Connect mobile offering for consumers, thus connecting consumers with local businesses and allowing them to discover, evaluate, book and pay for wellness services nearby. When we released Connect in 2013, we introduced centralized consumer login, account management, consumer reviews and multiple credit card storage capabilities and released these capabilities exclusively on our own branded consumer app.

Table of Contents

In 2015, we acquired Fitness Mobile Apps and rebranded it as MINDBODY Engage, providing our wellness business subscribers with the opportunity to create their own branded app experience. Engage subscriptions more than doubled in our first year, and now serve more than 9,000 of our wellness business subscribers. We also launched our MINDBODY Class Check-In app which helps our subscribers create a better consumer experience at the front desk by allowing consumers to check themselves in, freeing up front desk staff to help others. At the end of 2015, we introduced a redesign of the award-winning MINDBODY Connect app – renaming it the MINDBODY app. In conjunction, we launched a new fee-based Marketing Platform which aggregates and promotes subscriber introductory offers throughout the MINDBODY app. The MINDBODY app includes a recommendation engine that factors in consumer histories, preferences and geo-location to promote targeted wellness activity deals.

In 2016, we acquired HealCode and rebranded it as our branded web solution, adding new customer engagement and marketing tools to our suite of business and consumer solutions. Branded web, combined with our branded app solution (formerly named MINDBODY Engage), gives our subscribers the ability to fully brand their customers' online experience, from web to social to mobile. We also expanded our Marketing Platform to include integrated partners - renaming the platform the MINDBODY Network. Our first partnership on the MINDBODY Network was an integration with Under Armour designed to provide more people with access to nearby fitness classes nationwide directly through the MyFitnessPal app. We then worked with Google to pilot a new fitness booking integration to help people book fitness classes directly through Google Maps, Search and Reserve with Google. This new pilot program launched in early January 2017.

International expansion has been an important growth driver for us. In 2008, we completed our first integration of payments functionality into our platform for subscribers in Canada. In 2011, we opened our London sales office and integrated payments functionality into our platform for subscribers in the United Kingdom. In 2012, we opened a customer support office in the United Kingdom and integrated payments functionality into our platform for subscribers in Australia and New Zealand. In 2013, we opened our Sydney sales office. In 2015, we released integrated payments in Hong Kong and incorporated the direct debit methods favored in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. We now offer integrated payment processing in 40 countries and territories.

We primarily market and sell subscriptions to our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform to small and medium-sized businesses in the wellness services industry, including businesses that offer yoga, Pilates, barre, indoor cycling, personal training, martial arts and dance exercise, as well as spas, salons, music instruction studios, dance studios, children’s activity centers and integrative health centers.

We offer our software platform to our subscribers as a subscription-based service. Historically, our software subscription pricing was based on the number of professionals employed by our subscribers. In 2015, after substantial market testing and development, we began pricing our software subscriptions for new subscribers based on software functionality. In January 2017, we increased the functionality of the Pro and above software tiers by bundling in the branded web solution (formerly HealCode) and we increased monthly subscription pricing across all tiers. We also removed the Solo software tier option from our website as we continue to focus on high value subscribers. We define high value subscribers as those businesses at our Starter or above software tiers.

The vast majority of our subscribers subscribe to our software platform through one month contracts that are billed in advance, but we have a growing number of larger enterprise subscribers that subscribe to our software platform through contracts ranging from one to three years for which we bill quarterly or monthly in advance.

We recognize software subscription revenue ratably over the term of the subscription period. Additionally, we earn revenue based on the value of transactions processed by our subscribers utilizing our payments platform, net of the costs charged to us by our processing partners.

Table of Contents

We have achieved rapid subscriber growth through our effective sales model. We deploy a direct sales approach driven by an outbound tele-sales team with our primary sales operations in San Luis Obispo, California, as well as smaller regional offices throughout the United States, and locations in the United Kingdom and Australia. Our sales team qualifies and manages prospective and current subscribers, aiming to initiate, retain, and expand their use of our platform over time. We benefit from organic search and positive word of mouth as well as network effects from practitioners who often recommend MINDBODY to their employers. In addition, through MINDBODY University events, subscriber conferences and webinars, we help our subscribers optimize their businesses and grow their revenue, which benefits us through improved subscriber retention and an increase in payments revenue. While we do not directly monetize consumers of our subscribers’ services, we believe that growth in the number of active consumers on our platform also contributes to subscriber growth. We define active consumers as all unique consumers of our subscribers’ services who have used our platform to transact with our subscribers during the immediately preceding two years. We use a two-year period to align our metrics with those of most of our subscribers. Our subscribers typically define their active client base as consumers who have visited their businesses during a two-year time period. This active client base is equivalent to the active consumers on our platform.

Our integrated software and payments platform, along with our transaction-enabled marketplace, creates powerful network effects. As more local wellness businesses adopt our platform, more subscriber listings appear on the MINDBODY app and third-party partner sites available through the MINDBODY Network. As awareness of these businesses increases through these marketing channels, they attract more consumers to our platform. Those consumers then attract even more businesses to our platform. As those businesses and consumers engage in more transactions on our platform, this increases payments and API revenue and enables additional revenue streams from demand generation. Finally, as we add more subscribers and consumers to our wellness ecosystem, we attract more technology developers and partners who can use our open API to develop additional apps that extend the capabilities of our open platform.

We intend to continue scaling our organization in order to meet the needs of our growing subscriber base. We have invested and expect to continue to invest in our sales and marketing teams to sell our platform globally. A key element of our growth strategy is the continuous enhancement and expansion of our software and payments platform by developing and implementing new features and functionality. Through consistent innovation, we have increased both the number of subscribers and the revenue we generate from our subscribers over time. We plan to continue to enhance our software architecture and enhance and expand our platform through ongoing investments in research and development and by pursuing strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies that will enable us to continue to drive growth in the future. We also expect to continue to make investments in both our data center infrastructure and our customer service and subscriber onboarding teams to meet the needs of our growing user base. While these areas represent significant opportunities for us, we also face significant risks and challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain the growth of our business and improve our operating results. Due to our continuing investments to grow our business, in advance of, and in preparation for, our expected increase in sales, we are continuing to incur expenses in the near term from which we may not realize any long-term benefit. In addition, any investments that we make in sales and marketing or other areas will occur in advance of our experiencing any benefits from such investments, so it may be difficult for us to determine if we are efficiently allocating our resources in these areas.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, our revenue was $139.0 million, $101.4 million and $70.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of 37%, 45% and 44%, respectively. Our net loss was $23.0 million, $36.1 million and $24.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA was negative $4.8 million, negative $19.9 million, and negative $18.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, see the section below titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measure.” During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 approximately 83%, 84%, and 84% of our revenue came from the United States, respectively. Our employee headcount has increased to 1,350 employees as of December 31, 2016, from 1,226 as of December 31, 2015, of which approximately 27% are engaged in supporting existing subscribers and approximately 53% are engaged in increasing our subscriber base, growing our consumer brand or developing future products.

Our Business Model

Our business model focuses on maximizing the lifetime value of a subscriber relationship. We make significant investments in acquiring and onboarding new subscribers and believe that we will be able to achieve a positive return on these investments by retaining subscribers and expanding the revenue derived from our subscribers over the lifetime of the relationship. In connection with the acquisition of new subscribers, we incur and recognize significant upfront costs. These costs include sales; onboarding and marketing costs associated with acquiring new subscribers, such as sales commission expenses, which are expensed upfront; the cost of the onboarding personnel who provide the initial onboarding training to our new subscribers; marketing costs, which are expensed as incurred; and the cost associated with converting and importing subscriber data from competitors’ products. Due to our subscription model, we recognize software subscription revenue ratably over the monthly term of the subscription period, which commences when all of the revenue recognition criteria have been met. We recognize revenue from our payments platform on a net basis when the transactions occur. Although our objective is for each subscriber to be profitable for us over the duration of our relationship, the costs we incur with respect to any subscriber relationship, whether a new subscriber or to a lesser extent an upsell to an existing subscriber, may exceed revenue in early periods of the relationship because we recognize those costs earlier than we recognize the associated revenue. As a result, an increase in the mix of new subscribers as a percentage of total subscribers will initially have a negative impact on our operating results.

We realize different levels of profitability from our subscribers in large part depending on the fee level of their software subscription and the volume of transactions they process through our payments platform. For new subscribers, our associated sales, onboarding and marketing expenses typically exceed the first year revenue we recognize from those subscribers. For typical subscribers, their monthly subscriptions automatically renew each month. As a result, our sales and marketing expenses associated with renewals for our existing subscribers have been de minimis. Over the lifetime of the subscriber relationship, we incur sales and marketing costs to upsell the subscriber to higher levels of software functionality, to our payments platform, to our premium services and to our API and technology partners’ software offerings. However, these costs are significantly less than the costs initially incurred to acquire the subscriber.

Key Metrics

We regularly review the following key metrics to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, make strategic business decisions and assess working capital needs.



	As of and for the Year Ended December 31,
	2016			2015			2014

Subscribers. Subscribers are defined as unique physical business locations or individual practitioners who have active subscriptions to our platform as of the end of the period. We believe the number of subscribers is one indicator of the growth of our platform, but the revenue contribution of individual subscribers can vary widely. Subscribers with commercial business locations who employ multiple practitioners, have complete payments integrations, and who opt into our MINDBODY network tend to contribute far greater revenue than those that do not. Growth in the number of subscribers depends, in part, on our ability to successfully develop and market our platform to wellness businesses and their consumers who have not yet become part of our network. While growth in the number of subscribers can be an important indicator of expected revenue growth, it also informs our management’s decisions with respect to the areas of our business that will require further investment in order to support expected future subscriber growth. For example, as the number of subscribers increases, we may need to increase the headcount in our customer support organization, and also increase our IT infrastructure capital expenditures in order to maintain the effectiveness of our platform and the performance of our software for our subscribers and their consumers. The number of subscribers has increased year over year, and we expect the number of subscribers to continue to increase over time, however, the impact of our business strategy, including pricing changes and the manner in which we direct our sales and marketing resources, could cause the total number of subscribers to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The growth rate of the number of subscribers declined in 2016 and 2015, and we expect the growth rate to continue to decline in the future as we focus on high value subscribers and as the size of our subscriber base increases.

•

Average Monthly Revenue per Subscriber. We believe that our ability to increase the average monthly revenue per subscriber, which we also refer to as ARPS, is an indicator of our ability to increase the long-term value of our existing subscriber relationships. ARPS is calculated by dividing the subscription and services and payments revenue generated in a given month by the number of subscribers at the end of the previous month. For periods greater than one month, ARPS is the sum of the average monthly revenue per subscriber for each month in the applicable period, divided by the number of months in the period. For example, the ARPS measurement period in the table above was measured over the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. ARPS increased for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015, and we expect it to continue to increase in the future, although we expect the growth rate to fluctuate over time.

•

Payments Volume. We believe that payments volume is an indicator of the underlying current health of our subscribers’ businesses and of consumer spending trends as well as being a major driver of our payments revenue. Payments volume is the total dollar volume of transactions between our subscribers and their consumers utilizing our payments platform. Payments volume increased for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015, and we expect it to continue to increase in the future. The growth rate in payments volume increased for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015, and we expect it to fluctuate over time.

•

Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate. Our business model focuses on maximizing the lifetime value of a subscriber relationship. We can achieve this by focusing on delivering value and functionality that retains our existing subscribers and by expanding the revenue derived from our subscribers over the lifetime of the relationship by upselling the subscriber to higher priced subscription plans, through the utilization of our premium customer support offering, by increasing the value of transactions processed through our payments platform, and through services provided by our API and technology partners. We assess our performance in this area by measuring our dollar-based net expansion rate. Our dollar-based net expansion rate provides a measurement of our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base, offset by churn, downgrades in subscriptions, reduction in services utilization and reductions in the value of transactions that our subscribers process through our payments platform. Our dollar-based net expansion rate is based upon our monthly subscription and services and payments revenue for a set of subscriber accounts. We calculate our dollar-based net expansion rate by dividing our retained revenue net of contraction and churn by our base revenue. We define our base revenue as the aggregate monthly subscription and services and payments revenue of our subscriber base as of the date one year prior to the date of calculation. We define our retained revenue net of contraction and churn as the aggregate monthly subscription and services and payments revenue of the same subscriber base included in our measure of base revenue at the end of the period being measured. We expect our dollar based net expansion rate to fluctuate over time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted EBITDA

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as our net loss before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of preferred stock warrant, impairment charges, provision for income taxes, and other expense, net, which consisted of interest expense, net, and other expense, net. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:


•	Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

Table of Contents


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (2) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; or (3) tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;


•	Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business; and


•	Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and our GAAP financial results. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for each of the periods indicated:

Components of Statements of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue primarily from providing an integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform for the wellness services industry. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Our total revenue consists of the following:

•

Subscription and services. Subscription and services revenue is generated primarily from sales of subscriptions to our cloud-based business management software for the wellness services industry. The majority of subscription fees are prepaid by subscribers on a monthly basis via a credit card and, to a lesser extent, billed to subscribers on an annual or quarterly basis. Additionally, our subscribers can choose to enter into a separate contract with our technology partners to purchase additional features and functionality. We receive a revenue share from these arrangements from our technology partners, which is recognized when earned. We also earn revenue from API partners for subscriber site access, data query, and consumer bookings through our platform. The revenue from API partners is recognized when earned. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription agreement. Amounts invoiced in excess of revenue recognized are deferred. Service revenue is generated primarily through our premium customer support offering and is recognized in the period in which it is earned. We expect our subscription and services revenue to increase as we continue to increase the number of our subscribers, increase the average monthly subscription revenue per subscriber, and increase our revenue from our technology and API partners.

•

Payments. We earn payments revenue from revenue share arrangements with third-party payment processors on transactions between our subscribers who utilize our payments platform and their consumers. These payment transactions are generally related to purchases of classes, goods or services through a subscriber’s website, at its business location, and through the MINDBODY app. These transaction fees are recorded as revenue on a net basis when the payment transactions occur. We expect our payments revenue to increase in absolute dollars as we add new subscribers who utilize our payments platform and as existing subscribers increase the volume of transactions that they process through our payments platform.

Table of Contents


•	Product and other. We offer various point-of-sale system products and physical gift cards to our subscribers. Product and other revenue is recognized upon the delivery of these products to our subscribers.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs associated with personnel and related infrastructure for operation of our cloud-based business management platform, data center operations, global customer support and onboarding services, payment processing for subscribers that pay via credit card, and allocated overhead. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Overhead consists of certain facilities costs, depreciation expense, amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets, and information technology costs, and impairment charges for acquired intangible assets and internally developed software.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses, and the change in the fair value of contingent consideration.

•

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation and commission costs for our sales and marketing personnel. Sales and marketing expense also includes costs for market development programs, advertising, lead generation, promotional and other marketing activities, and allocated overhead. Sales and marketing expense is our largest operating expense, driving growth in subscribers, ARPS and consumer adoption, and we expect to continue to increase this expense in absolute dollars as we increase our sales and marketing efforts, although such expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.

•

Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation for our development personnel. Research and development expense also includes outsourced software development costs and allocated overhead. We expect research and development expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in our research and product development efforts to enhance our product capabilities and access new markets, although such expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.

•

General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation for our executive, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, and other administrative personnel. General and administrative expense also includes consulting, legal and accounting services and allocated overhead. We expect general and administrative expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we grow our operations and operate as a public company, although we expect such expense to continue to decline as a percentage of total revenue.

•

Change in fair value of contingent consideration. We recognized a contingent consideration liability related to an earn-out provision from our acquisition of Jill’s List in 2013, which was subsequently re-measured to fair value at each balance sheet date with a corresponding charge recorded within operating expenses. The period during which earn-out consideration could be earned ended in the second quarter of 2015, at which time the associated liability was permanently extinguished and was no longer subject to fair value accounting.

Other Income and Expenses

Our other income and expenses line items consist of fair value re-measurement charges for our preferred stock warrant liability, interest expense, net, and other expense, net.

•

Change in fair value of preferred stock warrant. The preferred stock warrant was classified as a liability on our consolidated balance sheet and re-measured to fair value at each balance sheet date with the corresponding charge recorded as change in fair value of preferred stock warrant. Upon the completion of our initial public offering, or IPO, the preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to stockholders’ equity, at which time it was no longer subject to fair value accounting.

•

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net consists primarily of the interest incurred on the financing obligation associated with our build-to-suit lease arrangement and interest earned on our cash and cash equivalent balances. We entered into a line of credit agreement in January 2015, and any future draws on this agreement will incur interest expense and result in increased interest expense in future periods.

Table of Contents


•	Other expense, net. Other expense, net consists primarily of gains and losses on disposals of property and equipment, gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, and other income and expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of federal and state income taxes in the United States and income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We have a full valuation allowance for U.S. deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards. We expect to maintain this full valuation allowance for the foreseeable future.

Subscription and services revenue increased $20.8 million, or 51%, of which $14.5 million was due to a 27% increase in our number of subscribers to 51,481 as of December 31, 2015 from 40,517 as of December 31, 2014 combined with the impact of new software offerings, tiers, and pricing. In addition, revenue from arrangements with our API and technology partners increased $6.3 million. Payments revenue increased $11.4 million, or 44%, due to an increase in the volume of transactions processed by our subscribers combined with the increase in the number of subscribers that utilize our payments platform as well as an increase in a value retained from payments transactions.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin



	Year Ended December 31,						Change
	2015			2014			$		%
	(dollars in thousands)
Cost of revenue	$	37,190		$	30,004		$	7,186	24	%
Gross margin	63		%	57		%

Cost of revenue increased $7.2 million, or 24%, in the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to a $6.4 million increase in personnel-related expenses and infrastructure costs due to an increase in headcount to support the growing number of subscribers. As of December 31, 2015, we had 454 employees dedicated to data center operations, global customer support and onboarding services as compared to 410 employees as of December 31, 2014.

The increase in gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, in the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily driven by growth in the number of subscribers and average revenue per subscriber, while leveraging our existing infrastructure to support the growth.

	2015		2014		$		%
	(dollars in thousands)
Sales and marketing	$	46,345	$	30,922	$	15,423	50	%

Sales and marketing expense increased $15.4 million, or 50%, in the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to an $11.7 million increase in personnel-related expenses, including a $3.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, due to an increase in headcount as we expanded our sales efforts to increase both the number of subscribers and average revenue per subscriber, and incurred additional personnel costs, such as sales commissions. The increase in the stock-based compensation expense was primarily related to contingent bonuses to certain former employees of Fitness Mobile Apps payable in shares of our Class A common stock for post-combination employment services. As of December 31, 2015, we had 422 employees dedicated to sales and marketing as compared to 358 employees as of December 31, 2014.

Research and development expense increased $6.9 million, or 43%, in the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to a $7.4 million increase in personnel-related expenses as we continued to add headcount to support our increased product development activities. The increase in personnel-related costs was partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in outsourced development costs. As of December 31, 2015, we had 224 employees dedicated to research and development as compared to 168 employees as of December 31, 2014.

General and administrative expense increased $11.1 million, or 60%, in the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to a $6.9 million increase in personnel-related expenses including a $2.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.1 million increase in legal and other professional services, and a $3.1 million increase in IT related costs, public company costs, and corporate overhead costs incurred to support our growth. As of December 31, 2015, we had 126 employees dedicated to general and administrative as compared to 99 employees as of December 31, 2014.

	(dollars in thousands)
Change in fair value of contingent consideration	$	(11	)	$	(1,434	)	$	1,423	(99	)%

The change in fair value of contingent consideration was due to earn-out targets related to our acquisition of Jill’s List in 2013 not being met prior to the expiration date of April 2015. The balance of the associated liability was permanently extinguished during the second quarter of 2015.

Provision for income taxes	246		116		130			112	%

The increase in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to interest on the financing obligation associated with the build-to-suit lease arrangement.

Quarterly Trends

Our quarterly revenue increased sequentially for each period presented. The quarterly increases were due to varying reasons, including, an increase in our number of subscribers combined with the impact of pricing increases and additional product offerings, an increase in the volume of transactions processed by our subscribers on our payments platform combined with the increase in the number of subscribers that utilize our payments platform as well as an increase in a value retained from these transactions, and an increase in revenue from API and technology partners.

Our quarterly operating expenses increased sequentially for each period presented, primarily due to increased expenses related to our rapid growth, including continued expansion of our technical infrastructure and expenses related to increases in employee headcount.

Historical patterns in our business may not be a reliable indicator of our future revenue growth or performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $85.9 million and $93.4 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and money market funds.

Prior to our IPO, we financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through proceeds from the private sales of preferred stock, including proceeds from the sale of $74.7 million of our Series F and G redeemable convertible preferred stock in the three year period ended December 31, 2014. In June 2015, we completed our IPO in which we issued and sold 7,150,000 shares of our Class A common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $93.1 million, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions but before deducting offering expenses of approximately $4.0 million.

In January 2015, we entered into a loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a secured revolving credit facility that allows us to borrow up to $20 million for working capital and general business requirements. Borrowings under our loan agreement are available based on a percentage of our monthly recurring revenue for the previous three months. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility will bear interest at the greater of the prime rate (3.75% as of December 31, 2016) plus 0.5%, or 3.25% with accrued interest payable on a monthly basis and outstanding and unpaid principal due upon maturity of the credit facility in January 2018. There are no prepayment penalties if we repay principal and interest prior to maturity. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our corporate assets. We also granted and pledged a security interest to the lender in all rights, title, and interest in our intellectual property. We are also subject to certain reporting and financial performance covenants, which require us to meet certain revenue targets. We did not draw down any amounts under the loan agreement during the year ended December 31, 2016.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, if we fail to meet our operating plan during the next 12 months, our liquidity and ability to operate our business could be adversely affected.

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents and our cash flows for the periods presented:

Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2016, operating activities used $3.9 million, primarily as a result of our net loss of $23.0 million, partially offset by $16.8 million of non-cash charges and $2.3 million provided by the net change in operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of $8.8 million of stock-based compensation expense and $7.8 million of depreciation and amortization expense. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of a $2.7 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities and a $2.8 million increase in deferred revenue, which were partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in accounts receivable and a $0.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily from higher payments revenue. The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities was due to the increase in headcount and the timing of payments to our vendors and employees.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, operating activities used $18.6 million, primarily as a result of our net loss of $36.1 million, offset by $15.4 million of non-cash charges, primarily consisting of $8.4 million of stock-based compensation expense and $6.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and a $2.1 million net change in operating assets and liabilities. The change in net operating assets and liabilities were primarily a result of a $3.5 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities due to the increase in headcount and the timing of payments to our vendors and contributions from our employees under our employee stock purchase plan, in addition to a $2.6 million increase in deferred revenue. These were partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in accounts receivable resulting primarily from higher payments revenue.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, operating activities used $17.9 million, primarily as a result of our net loss of $24.6 million, partially offset by $6.1 million of non-cash charges, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization expense of $4.6 million and stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million. The net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $0.6 million was primarily a result of a $2.1 million increase in accounts payable due to a higher level of expenses consistent with the overall growth of our business, a $1.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets due to the timing of payments to our vendors, a $1.1 million increase in accounts receivable and a $0.7 million increase in deferred revenue. The increase in accounts receivable and deferred revenue was primarily due to increased sales of subscriptions.

Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2016, investing activities used $12.7 million as a result of purchases of property and equipment of $8.6 million and cash paid to acquire a business of $4.1 million.

During the year December 31, 2015, investing activities used $12.1 million, primarily as a result of purchases of property and equipment of $9.9 million and cash paid to acquire a business of $3.0 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, investing activities used $5.7 million, primarily as a result of purchases of property and equipment of $7.3 million, which were partially offset by a decrease in restricted cash of $1.6 million.

Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2016, financing activities provided $9.2 million, consisting primarily of proceeds from the exercise of equity awards of $6.6 million and proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan of $3.0 million, which was partially offset by $0.5 million in repayments on financing and capital lease obligations.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, financing activities provided $89.5 million, consisting of $93.1 million in proceeds from our initial public offering, partially offset by $3.4 million in payments of offering costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, financing activities provided $48.8 million, primarily from proceeds of $49.9 million from the issuance of Series G redeemable convertible preferred stock.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our principal commitments consist of obligations under non-cancelable lease agreements for our corporate headquarters in San Luis Obispo, California, our smaller regional offices throughout the United States, and international locations in the United Kingdom and Australia and non-cancelable purchase commitments for software subscriptions and communication services. The following summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2016:

(1)	We lease office facilities under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements.


(2)	For certain build-to-suit lease arrangements where we have concluded that we are the “deemed owner” of a building (for accounting purposes only) during the construction period, we are required to record an asset with a corresponding construction financing obligation for the costs incurred by the landlord.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2016, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other purposes.

Segment Information

We have one primary business activity and operate in one reportable segment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, internal-use software development costs and the useful life of that software, income taxes, stock-based compensation expense and valuation assumptions have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue on a transaction when all of the following conditions have been satisfied:


•	persuasive evidence of an agreement exists;


•	the service has been or is being provided to the customer or delivery of the product has occurred;


•	fees are fixed or determinable; and


•	the collection of the fees is reasonably assured.

Our primary sources of revenue are derived from monthly subscription and support services and revenue share arrangements with technology partners and third party payment processors. The subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement, which is most often monthly but can be quarterly or annual. Our subscribers enter into separate arrangements with technology partners and third party payment processors. Revenue derived from revenue share arrangements with technology partners and third party payment processors is recognized when earned on a net basis. We also earn revenue from API platform partners for subscriber site access, data query, and consumer bookings. The revenue from API platform partners is recorded when earned on a gross basis.

Table of Contents

In certain circumstances, our arrangements include multiple elements which may consist of some or all of subscription services, support services, and hardware products. When multiple-element arrangements exist, we evaluate whether any of these deliverables should be accounted for as separate units of accounting.

Our support services do not have standalone value because we and other vendors do not sell support services separately. Such support services are therefore combined with our subscription services as a single unit of accounting. Our hardware products, such as point-of-sale systems, have standalone value because we and other vendors sell the same products separately. Additionally, while there is a general right of return relative to our hardware products, which are generally delivered upfront, performance of the subscription and support services is considered probable and substantially in our control. Accordingly, we consider the separate units of accounting in our multiple-element arrangements to be the hardware products and subscription and support services. For arrangements with multiple elements which can be separated into different units of accounting, we allocate the arrangement fee to the separate units of accounting based on vendor-specific objective evidence, as demonstrated by separate sales with sufficient concentration in selling prices.

Capitalized Software Costs

We capitalize certain development costs incurred in connection with internal use software. Software projects qualify for capitalization when they add significant new functionality that was not previously available in any former version of our software. Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the functions intended and certain functional and quality standards have been met. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose.

Research and development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage or costs incurred for training, maintenance, and general and administrative or overhead costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs related to upgrades or enhancements to existing applications are expensed as maintenance costs because such projects do not significantly enhance functionality.

Capitalized software development costs are amortized to cost of revenue using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of the software of two to three years, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized.

We also apply the provisions for uncertainty of income taxes. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. This guidance also applies to various related matters, such as derecognition, interest, penalties, and required disclosures. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in our income tax provision.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of stock option awards and stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) are estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is considered to be the closing market price of our Class A common stock on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized, net of forfeitures, using a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally four years. We estimate a forfeiture rate to calculate the stock-based compensation for our awards based on an analysis of our actual historical experience and expected employee attrition rates.

Table of Contents

Our use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term of the option, expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

These assumptions and estimates are as follows:

•

Fair value of common stock. Prior to our IPO in June 2015, the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock-based awards was determined by our board of directors, with input from management and a third-party valuation firm as discussed below under the heading “Common Stock Valuations Prior to Our Initial Public Offering”. Since our IPO, the fair value of common stock was determined based on the closing market price of our Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market at each grant date.


•	Expected term. The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding.

•

Volatility. As we have a limited trading history for our common stock, the expected stock price volatility for our common stock was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for industry peers based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. Industry peers consist of several public companies in our industry which are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage. We did not rely on implied volatilities of traded stock options in our industry peers’ common stock because the volume of activity was relatively low. We intend to continue to consistently apply this methodology using the same or similar public companies until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of our Class A common stock price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to MINDBODY, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.


•	Risk-free interest rate. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities appropriate for the term of employee stock option awards.


•	Dividend yield. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently plan to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we used an expected dividend yield of zero.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of our stock options as follows:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2016	2015	2014
Expected term (in years)	5.8	5.8	5.8-5.9
Expected volatility	44% - 45%	45% - 46%	48% - 51%
Risk-free interest rate	1.2% - 1.9%	1.4% - 1.8%	1.7% - 1.9%
Expected dividend yield	0%	0%	0%

In addition to the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, we must also estimate a forfeiture rate to calculate the stock-based compensation expense for our awards. Our forfeiture rate is based on historical experience and expected employee attrition rates. We will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover, and other factors. Quarterly changes in the estimated forfeiture rate can have a significant impact on our stock-based compensation expense as the cumulative effect of adjusting the rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. If a revised forfeiture rate is higher than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result in a decrease to the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements. If a revised forfeiture rate is lower than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result in an increase to the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements.

We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the assumptions related to our stock-based compensation on a prospective basis. As we continue to accumulate additional data related to our common stock, we may have refinements to our estimates, which could materially impact our future stock-based compensation expense.

Common Stock Valuations Prior to Our Initial Public Offering

Prior to completion of our IPO, we were a private company with no active public market for our common stock. The fair value of the common stock underlying our stock options was determined by our board of directors, which intended all options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the per share fair value of our common stock underlying those options on the date of grant. The valuations of our common stock were determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, or AICPA Practice Aid. The assumptions we used in the valuation model were based on future expectations combined with management judgment. In the absence of a public trading market, our board of directors, with input from management and assistance of third-party valuation specialists hired by us, exercised significant judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock as of the date of each option grant, including the following factors:


•	contemporaneous valuations performed by unrelated third-party specialists;


•	the prices, rights, preferences, and privileges of our redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to those of our common stock;


•	the prices of our redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock sold to outside investors in arm’s-length transactions;


•	the lack of marketability of our common stock;


•	our actual operating and financial performance;


•	current business conditions and projections;


•	our hiring of key personnel and the experience of our management;


•	our history and the timing of the introduction of new products and services;


•	our stage of development;


•	the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition of our company given prevailing market conditions;


•	the illiquidity of stock-based awards involving securities in a private company;


•	the market performance of comparable publicly traded companies; and


•	the U.S. and global capital market conditions.

The valuations were highly complex and subjective. Following the completion of our initial public offering in June 2015, common stock valuations were no longer necessary as we rely on market prices as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market to determine the fair value of our common stock.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Prior to completion of our IPO, we recorded the carrying value of redeemable convertible preferred stock at fair value upon issuance, net of issuance costs, accreted to its estimated redemption value using the effective interest method. Accretion to the carrying value was recorded as an increase in the carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and a reduction of stockholder’s deficit.

We reviewed the rights and preferences of our redeemable convertible preferred stock for any changes in terms, rights or preferences to determine if such change is a modification or an extinguishment. An amendment that, based on either quantitative or qualitative considerations, changes a substantive contractual term or fundamentally changes the nature of the preferred share is considered an extinguishment. We considered both expected economics as well as the business purpose of the amendment. If considered an extinguishment, we removed the carrying value of the old securities and recognized the new securities at their current fair value. If considered a modification, we recognized the change in the fair value of the security immediately before and after the amendment as either a deemed dividend or a deemed capital contribution.

Preferred Stock Warrant

Prior to completion of our IPO, we accounted for freestanding warrants to purchase shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value. Our preferred stock warrant was subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value was recognized as a component of other expense, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements, refer to Note 1 – “Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” contained in the “Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements” in Item 15 of Part IV of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, principally the British Pound Sterling, the Euro and Australian Dollar, which are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statements of operations. To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our financial statements, and we have not engaged in foreign currency hedging transactions. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing the risks relating to fluctuations in currency rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and money market accounts. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Because our cash equivalents have a short maturity, our portfolio’s fair value is relatively insensitive to interest rate changes. To date, we have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed, to material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis points change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In future periods, we will continue to evaluate our investment policy in order to ensure that we continue to meet our overall objectives.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The consolidated financial statements required pursuant to this item are included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and are presented beginning on page F-1.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,

Table of Contents

and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that assessment, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm. Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

MINDBODY, Inc.

San Luis Obispo, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MINDBODY, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MINDBODY, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

MINDBODY, Inc. (MINDBODY or the Company) was incorporated in California in 2004 and reincorporated in Delaware in March 2015. MINDBODY is headquartered in San Luis Obispo, California and has operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

MINDBODY and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a provider of cloud-based business management software for the wellness services industry and a rapidly growing consumer brand. Its integrated software and payments platform helps business owners in the wellness services industry run, market and build their businesses. MINDBODY enables the consumers to evaluate, engage, and transact with local businesses in its marketplace.

Initial Public Offering

In June 2015, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) in which it issued and sold 7,150,000 shares of its Class A common stock, $0.000004 par value, at a public offering price of $14.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $93,093,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $7,007,000, but before deducting offering expenses of $4,024,000. Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, all shares of the Company’s then-outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock were automatically converted and reclassified into 20,673,680 shares of its Class B common stock, $0.000004 par value, and all shares of the Company’s then-outstanding common stock were automatically reclassified into 11,305,355 shares of Class B common stock.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which include the accounts of MINDBODY and its wholly owned foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the capitalization and estimated useful life of the Company’s capitalized internal-use software, useful lives of property and equipment, the determination of fair value of stock awards issued and forfeiture rates, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, contingencies, and the purchase price allocation of acquired businesses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in facts or circumstances may cause the Company to change its assumptions and estimates in future periods, and it is possible that actual results could differ from current or future estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from client obligations due under normal trade terms and are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based upon historical experience and a review in each period of the number of days that billings are past due and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with delinquent accounts.

F-8

Table of Contents

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of December 31, 2016, one customer represented 15% of the accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2015, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. No single customer represented over 10% of revenue for any of the periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The Company carries its cash equivalents and preferred stock warrant liability at fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The Company classifies its cash equivalents, which are made up of money market accounts, within Level 1 because the Company values these investments using quoted market prices.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the related assets or leasehold improvements as follows:



Property and Equipment	Estimated Useful Life
Property (Building)	15 years
Office equipment	5 years
Computer equipment	3 years
Servers	3 years
Software licenses	3-4 years
Capitalized software costs	2-3 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of estimated useful life or remaining lease term

Useful lives of significant assets are periodically reviewed and adjusted prospectively to reflect the Company’s current estimates of the respective assets’ expected utility.

In the event the Company has been deemed the owner for accounting purposes of construction projects in build-to-suit lease arrangements, the estimated construction costs incurred to date are recorded as assets in Property and Equipment, net. Upon occupancy of facilities under build-to-suit leases, the Company did not meet the sale-leaseback criteria for de-recognition of the building assets and liabilities. Therefore, the Company continues to be the deemed owner for accounting purposes and the cost of the building is depreciated over its estimated useful life or lease term, whichever is shorter.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Certain development costs incurred in connection with internal use software are capitalized. Research and development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage or costs incurred for training, maintenance, and general and administrative or overhead costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended, and certain functional and quality standards have been met. There were no material qualifying development costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2016. Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Development costs related to upgrades or enhancements to existing applications are expensed as maintenance costs because such projects do not significantly enhance functionality. Capitalized software development costs are amortized to cost of revenue using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of the software of two to three years, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use.

Business Combinations

As discussed further in Note 4 of these consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired HealCode during the year ended December 31, 2016 and the Fitness Mobile Apps business of Petrol Designs LLC during the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for acquisitions and allocates the purchase price to its respective net tangible and intangible assets, and liabilities. Any residual purchase price is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. During the measurement period, the Company may record certain adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. After the measurement period, which could be up to one year after the transaction date, all adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Contingent payments that are dependent upon post-combination services, if any, are considered separate transactions outside of the business combination and therefore included in the post-combination operating results.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

The Company records goodwill when the consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment. The Company performs testing for impairment of goodwill annually or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level using a two-step approach. In step one, the Company determines if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the unit’s carrying value. If step one indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs step two, determining the fair value of goodwill and, if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, recording an impairment charge. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests.

Acquired intangible assets consist of identifiable intangible assets, primarily developed technology and customer relationships. These intangible assets have been determined to have definite lives and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the intangible assets with finite lives using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which is normally two to five years. The amortization expense for acquired technology is recorded in cost of revenues. The amortization expense for the acquired network list is recorded in sales and marketing expense.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, primarily consisting of property and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of an asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the use of such assets. If the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of an asset group, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $426,000 related to acquired technology from an acquisition in 2013 and internal costs incurred to integrate this technology. The impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2014 was included in costs of revenue in the statements of operations.

Operating Leases and Financing Obligations

The Company leases office facilities under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Certain lease agreements contain free or escalating rent payment provisions. The Company recognizes rent expense under such leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease with the difference between the expense and the payments recorded as deferred rent on the consolidated balance sheets.

F-10

Table of Contents

For certain build-to-suit lease arrangements where the Company has concluded that it is the “deemed owner” of the building (for accounting purposes only) during the construction period, the Company is required to record an asset with a corresponding construction financing obligation for the costs incurred by the landlord. The financing obligation is recorded as a component of other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company will increase the asset and financing obligation as additional building costs are incurred by the landlord during the construction period. Once construction is complete, the Company will evaluate whether the asset qualifies for sale-leaseback accounting treatment. If the lease meets the sale-leaseback criteria, the Company will remove the asset and the related liability from its consolidated balance sheet and treat the lease as either an operating or capital lease based on an assessment of the accounting guidance. If the arrangement does not qualify for sale-leaseback treatment, the Company will reduce the obligation over the lease term as payments are made and will depreciate the asset over its estimated useful life or lease term, whichever is shorter. Future lease payments associated with the build-to-suit lease where the Company is the deemed owner are allocated between the land and building components. Payments attributable to the land are recognized as rent expense on a straight-line basis upon commencement of the contract. The Company does not report rent expense for the portion of the rent payment allocated to the buildings, which are owned for accounting purposes. Rather, this portion of the rent payment under the lease is recognized as a reduction of the financing obligation and as interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has three primary sources of revenue consisting of (i) subscription and support services, (ii) payments, and (iii) product and other sales.

The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions have been satisfied:


•	persuasive evidence of an agreement exists;


•	the service has been or is being provided to the customer or delivery of the product has occurred;


•	fees are fixed or determinable; and


•	the collection of the fees is reasonably assured.

Software revenue recognition arrangements that do not give the subscriber the option to take possession of the software are service arrangements and are outside the scope of the specific industry rules for software recognition. This applies to the Company’s cloud-based business management software, and as such, the Company accounts for the subscription and support services as service arrangements. Amounts invoiced in excess of revenue recognized are deferred. The majority of the fees are prepaid by subscribers on a monthly basis, and to a lesser extent, for certain subscribers on an annual or quarterly basis. The subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

The customer support offering is delivered together with the subscription services, and the term of the customer support is the same as the related subscription services arrangement. Accordingly, the Company recognizes customer support revenue in the same manner as the associated subscription service. The Company’s subscribers enter into separate arrangements with the technology partners. Revenue derived from revenue share arrangements with the technology partners is recognized when earned on a net basis. The Company also earns revenue from API platform partners for subscriber site access, data query, and consumer bookings. The revenue from API platform partners is recorded when earned.

The Company collects a revenue share from third-party payment processors on all transactions between its subscribers who utilize the MINDBODY payments platform and their consumers. These payment transactions are generally for purchasing classes, goods, or services through a subscriber’s website, at their business location or through the MINDBODY app or third party site included in the MINDBODY Network. Transaction fees are recorded as payments revenue on a net basis.

Product revenues are recognized when all revenue recognition criteria have been met, which is upon delivery.

In certain circumstances, the Company’s arrangements include multiple elements which may consist of some or all of subscription services, support services, and hardware products, which are included in product and other. When multiple-element arrangements exist, the Company evaluates whether any of these deliverables should be accounted for as separate units of accounting.

F-11

Table of Contents

The Company’s support services do not have standalone value because it and other vendors do not sell support services separately. Such support services are therefore combined with the Company’s subscription services as a single unit of accounting. The Company’s hardware products, such as point of sale systems, have standalone value because it, and other vendors, sell the same products separately. Additionally, while there is a general right of return relative to the Company’s hardware products, which are generally delivered upfront, performance of the subscription and support services is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control. Accordingly, the Company considers the separate units of accounting in its multiple-element arrangements to be the hardware products and subscription and support services. For arrangements with multiple elements which can be separated into different units of accounting, the Company allocates the arrangement fee to the separate units of accounting based on vendor-specific objective evidence, as demonstrated by separate sales with sufficient concentration in selling prices.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs associated with personnel and related infrastructure for operation of our cloud-based business management platform, data center operations, global customer support and onboarding services, payment processing for subscribers that pay via credit card, and allocated overhead. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Overhead consists of certain facilities costs, depreciation expense, amortization expense associated with acquired technology, information technology costs, and impairment charges for acquired technology and internally developed software.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed when incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s advertising expenses, which include print and online advertising were $474,000, $598,000, and $588,000 during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. The Company incurs costs in connection with the development of software for its platform and software used in operations. These costs are expensed unless they meet the requirements for capitalization.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of stock option awards and stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) are estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the Company to estimate the grant date fair value of the underlying common stock, the expected life of options, the expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield of the common stock. The fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of our Class A common stock on the date of grant. The stock-based compensation expense for stock options, net of forfeitures, is recognized using a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally four years.

The Company estimates a forfeiture rate to calculate the stock-based compensation for the awards based on an analysis of actual historical experience and expected employee attrition rates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also affect the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The carrying value of redeemable convertible preferred stock was recorded at fair value upon issuance, net of issuance costs, and accreted to its estimated redemption value using the effective interest method. Accretion to the carrying value was being recorded as an increase in the carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and a reduction of stockholder’s equity.

F-12

Table of Contents

The Company reviewed the rights and preferences of its preferred stock for any changes in terms, rights or preferences to determine if such change was a modification or an extinguishment. An amendment that, based on either quantitative or qualitative considerations, changed a substantive contractual term or fundamentally changed the nature of the preferred share was considered an extinguishment. The Company considered both expected economics as well as the business purpose of the amendment. If considered an extinguishment, the Company removed the carrying value of the old securities and recognized the new securities at their current fair value. If considered a modification, the Company recognized the change in the fair value of the security immediately before and after the amendment as either a deemed dividend or a deemed capital contribution.

Preferred Stock Warrant

Prior to the completion of the IPO in June 2015, the Company accounted for freestanding warrants to purchase shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value. The preferred stock warrants were subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon completion of the IPO, the preferred stock warrant was converted into a Class B common stock warrant, and the related preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital, a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit), and the Company ceased recording any further related periodic fair value adjustments.

Segments

The Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews financial information on a consolidated basis to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to measure the Company’s performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in one segment.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, unless it is more likely than not such assets will be realized.

The Company also applies the provisions for uncertainty of income taxes. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. This guidance also applies to various related matters, such as derecognition, interest, penalties, and required disclosures. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision.

Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

The Company applies the two-class method in calculating the net loss per share amounts which requires net loss to be allocated between the common and preferred stockholders based on their respective right to receive dividends. Accordingly, the Company’s basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is equal to the Company’s net loss as adjusted for accretion of cumulative preferred stock dividends of the related series of redeemable convertible preferred stock to their redemption value. Diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and redeemable convertible preferred stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For purposes of this calculation, redeemable convertible preferred stock, options to purchase common stock, and preferred stock warrants are considered common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies. The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Exchange rate differences resulting from translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

F-13

Table of Contents

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is composed of two components: net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss refers to expenses and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ deficit, but are excluded from the Company’s net loss. For all periods presented, the Company’s other comprehensive loss is made up of foreign currency translation adjustments related to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance related to Financial Instruments Credit Losses. The new guidance changes the impairment model for most financial assets, and will require the use of an expected loss model in place of the currently used incurred loss method. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The update to the standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services (the "ASC 606"). ASC 606 also requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In April 2016, the FASB issued an update, clarifying ASC 606, related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in ASC 606. In May 2016, the FASB issued an update that provides narrow scope improvements and practical expedients related to ASC 606. The improvements address completed contracts and contract modifications at transition, noncash consideration, the presentation of sales taxes and other taxes collected from customers, and assessment of collectability when determining whether a transaction represents a valid contract. The Company has initially determined that a potential area of impact is revenue recognition on one contract which includes contingent amounts of variable consideration that it was precluded from recognizing because of the requirement for amounts to be “fixed or determinable” under SAB Topic 13. It is expected that ASC 606 will require the Company to estimate these amounts. As a result, the Company expects to recognize revenue earlier under ASC 606 than it would have done under current guidance. The Company will adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 by recognizing the cumulative effect, of initially applying this ASU, in the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is still in the process of completing its assessment of the impact of adopting this ASU, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to employee share-based payment transactions. The new guidance requires entities to recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and provides guidance on the related cash flow presentation. The new guidance also allows entities to make an accounting policy election to either continue to estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered (as currently required) or to account for forfeitures when they occur. The new guidance also stipulates that the net settlement of an award for statutory tax withholding purposes would not result, by itself, in liability classification of the award provided that the amount withheld for taxes does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate in the employees’ relevant tax jurisdictions. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material impact on net income, basic and diluted earnings per share, deferred tax assets, or statement of cash flows.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The new guidance requires entities to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The new guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and anticipates recording certain operating leases on the balance sheet upon adoption.

In November 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The new guidance requires entities to present deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. It thus simplifies the current guidance, which requires entities to separately present DTAs and DTLs as current or noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Netting of DTAs and DTLs by tax jurisdiction is still required under the new guidance. The new authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures and reports its cash equivalents, contingent consideration, and preferred stock warrant at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market funds. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, whereby the inputs used in our valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the three levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

We consider an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and consider an inactive market to be one in which there are infrequent or few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers. Where appropriate, our own or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in measuring the fair values of assets.

The following table presents the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities using the above input categories (in thousands):

Amortization of capitalized software development costs totaled $321,000, $317,000, and $791,000 during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The net book value of capitalized software development costs was $20,000 and $351,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company executed a lease for a new 64,000 square foot office building in San Luis Obispo, California. This facility became operational in the second quarter of 2015. Both the landlord and the Company incurred costs to construct the facility according to the Company’s operating specifications, and as a result, the Company has concluded that it was the “deemed owner” of the building (for accounting purposes only) during the construction period. During April 2015, the Company began to occupy the additional office space and no additional construction costs have been incurred since then. Upon completion of the construction, the Company was also the “deemed owner” of the building for accounting purposes as the asset did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting treatment due to the Company’s continuing involvement. As such, costs included in construction-in-progress for the building were recorded to “Building, leased” within “Property and equipment, net” and the related financing obligation of $15,883,000 remained recorded as of December 31, 2016. The obligation is being settled through monthly lease payments to the landlord upon completion of the construction, and the asset is being depreciated over the initial term of the lease. The lease has an original term of 15 years and the Company also has an option to extend the term of the lease for three consecutive terms of five years each. The Company is responsible to pay landlord’s insurance costs, real property taxes, and operating expenses related to the premises as additional rent.

4. BUSINESS COMBINATION

HealCode

On September 1, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of HealCode LLC (“HealCode”), a privately held technology partner that creates web-based and mobile application widgets for the Company’s subscribers.

The total purchase consideration of $5,388,000 consisted of the payment of $4,888,000 in cash, $750,000 recorded in other noncurrent liabilities for purchase consideration which has been held back by the Company for a period of eighteen (18) months to satisfy potential indemnification claims, and the issuance of 28,959 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a total acquisition date fair value of $500,000.

The acquisition of HealCode was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations with MINDBODY as the accounting acquirer. The Company incurred and expensed de minimis acquisition-related costs, which are included within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Goodwill of $3,643,000 was allocated to the Company’s one operating segment and represents 68% of the total purchase consideration. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expanded market opportunities from selling and integrating HealCode’s “website widget” solution with the Company’s other offerings and the associated assembled workforce acquired. Goodwill is amortized over 15 years for tax purposes.

The acquisition provided the Company with acquired intangible assets representing internally developed software/technology. HealCode’s “website widget” solution enables the Company's subscribers to embed the MINDBODY class and appointment schedules within their web and social sites. The fair value of the acquired intangible asset was determined based on the income approach and discounted cash flow/excess earnings method and is subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over its remaining useful life of five years.

The allocation of the purchase price consideration is as follows (in thousands):



	Amount
Liabilities assumed	$	(105	)
Tangible assets acquired	32
Intangible asset – developed software/technology	1,818
Goodwill	3,643
Fair value of total purchase consideration	$	5,388

The results of HealCode are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date, including revenues and net loss, and were not material. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the acquisition was not material to the Company's results of operations.

Fitness Mobile Apps

On February 2, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the Fitness Mobile Apps business of Petrol Designs LLC (“Fitness Mobile Apps”), a privately held technology partner that creates tailored mobile apps for the Company’s subscribers. The Company accounted for the acquisition of Fitness Mobile Apps as a business combination. The Company acquired all of the assets that were used in, or otherwise benefit, the mobile apps business for 103,617 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $14.476 per share, of which 74,260 shares were issued and 29,357 shares were held with an escrow agent and were released in February 2016 following the first anniversary of the closing date, and $3,000,000 in cash, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $4,500,000. The acquisition also included an obligation to issue up to 207,234 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain former employees of Fitness Mobile Apps, contingent upon performance obligations and their continuous employment with the Company. The measurement period for the contingent consideration ended during the year ended December 31, 2016 and the Company issued 207,234 shares of Class A common stock to such former employees of Fitness Mobile Apps on February 22, 2016 under its 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (see Note 9 Common Stock and Stockholder’s Equity below). The related compensation expense for the fair value of these additional shares was recorded ratably over the respective service period.

The fair value of the Company’s common stock issued for the Fitness Mobile Apps acquisition was based on the Company’s valuation of its common stock as of February 2, 2015. Given the absence of a public trading market, the Company’s board of directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock. These factors included, but were not limited to (i) contemporaneous third-party valuations of common stock; (ii) the rights and preferences of convertible preferred stock relative to common stock; (iii) the lack of marketability of common stock; (iv) developments in the business; and (v) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions. The aggregate enterprise value was determined using a combination of the income approach and two market approaches in order to estimate an Enterprise Value under five different possible future scenarios, which were weighted as follows:



	Weighting
IPO	75	%
Transaction	20	%
Private company (DCF)	5	%

The Company allocated the total purchase consideration to tangible assets acquired and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values with the excess of the purchase consideration over the aggregate fair values recorded as goodwill allocated to the Company’s one operating segment. Goodwill of $3,569,000 represents 80% of the total purchase consideration and is primarily attributable to the value of acquired personnel, and the Company’s ability to expand its consumer base by transitioning Fitness Mobile Apps onto its platform. Goodwill is amortized over 15 years for tax purposes.

The internally developed software/technology with a remaining useful life of three years represents the tools to create consumer facing customized mobile apps for the Company’s subscribers. The fair values of the acquired intangible assets were determined based on the income approach and relief-from-royalty method approach and the identifiable intangible assets are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful lives.

The Company incurred and expensed $150,000 in acquisition-related costs, which are included within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands):



	Amount
Tangible assets acquired	$	18
Intangible asset – developed software/technology	913
Goodwill	3,569
Fair value of total purchase consideration	$	4,500

The results of Fitness Mobile Apps are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date, including revenues and net loss, and were not material. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the acquisition was not material to the Company’s results of operations.

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter of the financial year. The Company’s goodwill balance is solely attributable to the acquisition of HealCode, Fitness Mobile Apps, and Jill’s List. The goodwill balance was $9,039,000 as of December 31, 2016 and $5,396,000 as of December 31, 2015. There have been no impairment charges recorded against goodwill.

The Company’s intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands except years):



	December 31, 2016
	Useful Life (Years)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Network list	2	$	420	$	(420	)	$	—

6. DEBT

Credit Facility

On January 12, 2015, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a secured revolving credit facility that allows the Company to borrow up to $20,000,000 for working capital and general business requirements. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility will bear interest at the greater of the prime rate (3.75% as of December 31, 2016) plus 0.5%, or 3.25% with accrued interest payable on a monthly basis and outstanding and unpaid principal due upon maturity of the credit facility in January 2018. There are no prepayment penalties if the Company repays principal and interest prior to maturity. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our corporate assets. The Company also granted and pledged a security interest to the lender in all rights, title, and interest in our intellectual property. The Company is also subject to certain reporting and financial performance covenants, which require the Company to meet certain revenue targets. The Company did not draw down any amounts under the credit agreement during the year ended December 31, 2016.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Lease

The Company has operating lease agreements with lease periods expiring between 2017 and 2030. Rent expense was $4,767,000, $4,332,000, and 3,240,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

Financing Obligation

During April 2015, the Company began to occupy additional office space constructed under a 15 year build-to-suit lease arrangement entered into in October 2013. During the construction of the facility, the Company concluded that it was the “deemed owner” for accounting purposes due to its extensive involvement in the construction process. Upon completion of the construction, the Company was still considered to be the “deemed owner” of the building for accounting purposes as the asset did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting treatment due to the Company’s continuing involvement. As such, costs for the building were recorded to “Building, leased” within “Property and equipment, net” and the related financing obligation of $15,883,000 remained recorded as of December 31, 2016. The portion of the lease obligation allocated to the land is being treated for accounting purposes as an operating lease.

Future Minimum Lease Payments

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable lease agreements as of December 31, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):



Year Ending December 31,	Operating Leases		Financing Obligation, Building- Leased		Total
2017	$	2,100	$	1,630	$	3,730
2018	2,057		1,679		3,736

Thereafter	9,144		17,527		26,671
Total minimum lease payments	$	18,829	$	26,181	$	45,010

The remaining future minimum lease payments on the building, leased, include interest of $10,298,000 to be recognized over the remainder of the initial term of the lease agreement. A total financing obligation of $15,883,000 remained recorded as of December 31, 2016 of which $433,000 is recorded as a current obligation.

Purchase Commitments

Future unconditional purchase commitments for software subscriptions and data center and communication services as of December 31, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):



Year Ending December 31,
2017	$	3,270

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that it expects will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

8. WARRANT

In connection with entering into a credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 87,500 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock to the lender. The warrant was fully vested and exercisable upon issuance, had an expiration date in June 2020, and had an exercise price of $2.54 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the exercise price for the warrant was modified to $1.732 per share. The impact of this modification was not material. Prior to the IPO, the warrant was required to be treated as a liability and recorded at estimated fair value, with changes in fair value at each reporting date recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, since the warrant was exercisable into conditionally redeemable shares of preferred stock. The change in the fair value of the warrant was ($25,000) and ($283,000) for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and were recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. In connection with the IPO completed on June 24, 2015, the warrant to purchase 87,500 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into a warrant to purchase 89,177 shares of the Class B common stock with an aggregate exercise price of $151,603, and the related preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital, a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit), and the Company ceased recording any further related periodic fair value adjustments. The warrant was exercised on a net basis on July 24, 2015, which resulted in the issuance of 76,565 shares of Class B common stock.

9. COMMON STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation

In March 2015, the Company adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Pre-IPO Restated Certificate”) to modify the dividend, conversion and liquidation rights of the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock. Under the Pre-IPO Restated Certificate, the Series C and Series D were no longer entitled to cumulative dividends upon a liquidation of the Company, and the Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D were no longer entitled to receive cumulative dividends upon conversion into common stock, including in connection with an initial public offering. In addition, under the Pre-IPO Restated Certificate, the conversion ratio of each series of redeemable convertible preferred stock, which was 1-to-1 for all series prior to the amendment, was adjusted to 1.0088 for Series A, 1.0148 for Series B, 1.0192 for Series C, and 1.0218 for Series D. As a result of this amendment, the redeemable convertible preferred stock became convertible into shares of common stock upon a qualifying event, including completion of an initial public offering, as follows:



Preferred Stock	Number of Shares, Actual	Conversion Rate	Number of Shares, As Converted
Series A	1,319,940	1.0088	1,331,507
Series B	988,411	1.0148	1,003,071
Series C	4,019,524	1.0192	4,096,561
Series D	5,308,875	1.0218	5,424,802
Series E	2,439,058	1.0000	2,439,058
Series F	2,685,997	1.0000	2,685,997
Series G	3,692,684	1.0000	3,692,684
Total	20,454,489		20,673,680

The Company has determined that the changes to the rights underlying the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock resulted in a modification, for accounting purposes, of these shares. The change in the fair value of the Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D immediately before and after the amendment was recognized as a deemed dividend of $1,748,000 from the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stockholders, which was recorded as a reduction of accumulated deficit during the year ended December 31, 2015.

The fair value of the Series A, Series B, Series C, and Series D preferred stock immediately before and after the amendment was estimated by the Company’s board of directors with assistance from a third-party valuation that utilized methodologies and assumptions consistent with the Company’s most recent common stock valuations, including on a minority, nonmarketable interest basis. The Company’s aggregate enterprise value was determined using a combination of valuation approaches, including an income approach and various market approaches, and under five different possible future scenarios.

Table of Contents

Preferred Stock

Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, all outstanding convertible preferred stock was converted and reclassified into 20,673,680 shares of Class B common stock and the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize the Company to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.000004 per share. No shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Common Stock

Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, all outstanding shares of common stock were reclassified into 11,305,355 shares of Class B common stock and the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize the Company to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, each with a par value of $0.000004 per share. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation also:


•	established that, on any matter that is submitted to a vote of the stockholders, the holder of each share of Class A common stock is entitled to 1 vote per share, while the holder of each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10 votes per share;


•	established that shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder and automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock upon transfer, subject to limited exceptions; and


•	established that, except with respect to voting and conversion rights, as discussed above, the rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical.

Following the IPO, the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock has increased, with an associated decrease in the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, primarily as a result of the conversion of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock held by pre-IPO investors and stockholders into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Stock Split

In June 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to give effect to a 2.5-for-1 stock split of the Company’s common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock (collectively, the “Capital Stock”), which became effective on June 4, 2015. Accordingly, (i) each one share of outstanding Capital Stock was split into 2.5 shares of Capital Stock of the same class and series, as applicable; (ii) the number of shares of Capital Stock issuable on the exercise of each outstanding warrant or option to purchase Capital Stock was proportionately increased on a 2.5-for-1 basis; (iii) the exercise price of each outstanding warrant or option to purchase Capital Stock was proportionately reduced on a 2.5-for-1 basis. All of the share numbers, share prices, and exercise prices have been adjusted within these financial statements, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 2.5-for-1 stock split.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) became effective on June 17, 2015 and serves as the successor to the Company’s 2009 Stock Option Plan (“2009 Plan”). As of December 31, 2016, there were 5,412,863 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan includes an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2016, equal to the least of 3,915,682 shares, 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or such other amount as the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee may determine. Accordingly, effective as of January 1, 2017, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan was increased by 2,029,912 shares of Class A common stock. All stock options under the 2015 Plan have a term of no greater than ten years from the date of grant. As of December 31, 2016, options to purchase 727,175 shares of Class A common stock and 743,693 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which will be settled in shares of Class A common stock remained outstanding under the 2015 Plan.

The acquisition of Fitness Mobile Apps discussed in Note 4 included an obligation to issue up to 207,234 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to certain former employees of Fitness Mobile Apps, contingent upon performance obligations and continuous employment with the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2016, this contingency was satisfied and 207,234 shares were issued pursuant to the 2015 Plan and were fully vested on February 22, 2016. The related stock-based compensation expense was recorded ratably over the respective service period that ended during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Table of Contents

The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), RSUs, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants and its parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. Neither RSAs nor RSUs require payment from the employee or service provider. Each RSA and RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon vesting or settlement, as applicable. The RSUs generally vest over a period of approximately four years. These awards are contingent upon the related employees’ continuous employment with us. As such, compensation expense is being recorded over the requisite service period of approximately four years.

2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("2015 ESPP") became effective on June 2, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, there were 898,194 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2015 ESPP. The number of shares available for sale under the 2015 ESPP includes an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2016, equal to the least of 783,136 shares, 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or such other amount as the Company’s board of directors or compensation committee may determine. Accordingly, effective as of January 1, 2017, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 ESPP was increased by 405,982 shares of Class A common stock.

Under the 2015 ESPP, eligible employees are granted options to purchase shares of Class A common stock through payroll deductions. The 2015 ESPP provides for 24 months offering periods. Each offering period includes purchase periods, which are approximately six-month periods commencing with one exercise date and ending with the next exercise date. At the end of each purchase period, employees are able to purchase shares at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the first trading day of each offering period or the end of each six-month purchase period. New offering periods commence every six months on or about February 22 and August 22 of each year. The Company commenced its first offering period under the 2015 ESPP on June 18, 2015. Employees purchased 277,215 shares of Class A common stock for an aggregate cost of $3,040,000 under the 2015 ESPP during the year ended December 31, 2016.

2009 Stock Option Plan

The 2009 Plan, which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and restricted stock to employees, directors, and consultants, terminated on June 18, 2015. Accordingly, no shares were available for issuance under the 2009 Plan after that time. The 2009 Plan continues to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder. As of December 31, 2016, options to purchase 3,116,101 shares of Class B common stock remained outstanding under the 2009 Plan.

As of December 31, 2016, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for unvested stock options, net of expected forfeitures, was $10,401,572, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Other Stock-Based Compensation

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $271,000 and $2,728,000, respectively, related to contingent bonuses to certain former employees of Fitness Mobile Apps payable in shares of the Company’s common stock for post-combination employment services.

The Company granted options to purchase 195,000 shares of Class B common stock to its nonemployee consultants during the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to these grants of $296,000 and $278,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There were no non-employee grants during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Determination of Fair Value

We record stock-based compensation based on the fair value of stock options on grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We determine the fair value of shares of common stock to be issued under the ESPP using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units and restricted stock awards equals the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term of the option, expected volatility of the price of the common stock, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividend yield of the common stock. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates. Compensation expense related to stock-based transactions is measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the awards granted. The stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally four years. We determined valuation assumptions as follows:

F-24

Table of Contents

Fair Value of Common Stock

Prior to the Company’s IPO on June 18, 2015, the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock-based awards was determined by the Company’s board of directors, with input from management and a third-party valuation firm.

Since the Company’s IPO, the fair value of common stock was determined based on the market closing price for the Company’s Class A common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market at each grant date.

Expected Term

The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term assumptions were determined based on the vesting terms, exercise terms, and contractual lives of the options.

Expected Volatility

The expected volatility of stock options is estimated based upon the historical volatility of a number of publicly traded companies in similar stages of development and comparable industries for a period commensurate with the expected life. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this methodology using the same or similar public companies until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s Class A common stock price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to MINDBODY, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.

Risk-Free Interest Rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.

Dividend Yield

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, an expected dividend yield of zero was utilized.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the Company’s stock options:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2016	2015	2014
Expected term (in years)	5.8	5.8	5.8 - 5.9
Expected volatility	44% - 45%	45% - 46%	48% - 51%
Risk-free interest rate	1.2% - 1.9%	1.4% - 1.8%	1.7% - 1.9%

It is the Company’s intention to reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and thereby indefinitely postpone their remittance. Accordingly, no provision has been made for foreign withholding taxes or United States income taxes, which may become payable if undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries were paid as dividends to the Company. Should the Company decide to no longer indefinitely reinvest such earnings outside the United States, the Company would have to adjust the income tax provision in the period management makes such determination.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, deferred tax assets included federal net operating loss carryforwards of $103,047,000 and $82,108,000, and state net operating loss carryforwards of $88,929,000 and $78,205,000. The federal net operating loss carryforwards start to expire in the year ending December 31, 2025. State net operating losses started to expire in 2016 for the earliest net operating loss layers.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no assurance that future taxable income would be sufficient to fully utilize the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets in the future. Consequently, the Company determined that a valuation allowance of $45,329,000 and $37,448,000 as of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, was needed to offset the deferred tax assets resulting mainly from the net operating loss carryforwards. The net change in the valuation allowance during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 was an increase of $7,881,000, $13,435,000, and $9,662,000, respectively.

Table of Contents

As a result of certain realization requirements related to stock-based compensation expense, the table of deferred tax assets and liabilities shown above does not include certain deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, that arose directly from (or the use of which was postponed by) tax deductions related to equity compensation that are greater than the compensation recognized for financial reporting. Equity will be increased by $703,000 if and when such deferred tax assets are ultimately realized.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, places a limitation on the realizability of Net Operating Losses (NOLs) in future periods when a loss corporation has undergone significant changes in stock ownership. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we completed an analysis under IRC Section 382 through December 31, 2014, and determined that we experienced multiple ownership changes during this period. U.S. federal NOLs of approximately $430,000 are expected to expire unused due to limitations under Section 382 and, as such, have not been reflected in the NOL carryforward of $103,047,000. We performed an IRC Section 382 analysis as of December 31, 2016 and determined that there would be no additional effects on the NOL deferred tax asset if ownership changes occurred between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016.

The Company evaluates tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has not identified any unrecognized income tax benefits and uncertain tax positions, as well as any associated interest and penalties.

The Company’s 2013 to 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by the U.S. federal tax authorities and the Company’s 2012 to 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by the state tax authorities.

12. SEGMENTS AND INFORMATION BY GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION

Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer.

The Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Further, there is one business activity, and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results, and plans for levels, components, or types of products or services below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company has a single operating and reporting segment.
