Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1.     Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“condensed consolidated financial statements”) include the accounts of Electronics For Imaging, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“EFI” or “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements, and accounting policies consistent in all material respects with those applied in preparing our audited annual consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1, for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2017 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, management considers necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, operating results, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Our results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
Out-of-Period Adjustments
In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded out-of-period adjustments related to certain bill and hold transactions, which decreased revenue by $3.4 million, gross profit by $0.5 million, and net income by $0.3 million (or $0.01 per diluted share). We evaluated these adjustments considering both qualitative and quantitative factors and their impact in relation to each period, as well as the periods in which they originated. The impact of recognizing these adjustments in prior years was not significant to any individual period. Management believes the adjustments are immaterial to these condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and all previously issued financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue Recognition. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to all incomplete contracts as of the date of initial application. ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”), and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASC 606 requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Effective January 1, 2018, we also adopted ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred CostsContracts with Customers (“ASC 340-40”), using the modified retrospective method to all incomplete contracts as of the date of initial application. ASC 340-40 requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.
Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606 and ASC 340-40, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. Additional discussion of these recently adopted pronouncements and their impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is included below under Significant Accounting Policies, in Note 4Revenue, and in Note 5Supplemental Financial Statement Information.
Income Taxes. Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118 provides guidance for the application of ASC 740 for a measurement period to complete the accounting for certain elements of the Tax Cut & Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”). The measurement period is defined as up to one year from the enactment date, which will expire on December 22, 2018. SAB 118 requires that we recognize those income tax effects in our financial statements for which the accounting can be completed, as may be the case for the effect of rate changes on deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. For matters that have not been completed, we are required to recognize provisional amounts to the extent that they are reasonably estimable, adjust them during the measurement period when more information becomes available, and report this information in our financial statements in that period. See additional information in Note 14 Income Taxes.

Restricted Cash. Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, became effective in the first quarter of 2018 and requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change in cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts in

the statement of cash flows. We previously included the changes in restricted cash equivalents in operating or investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.

Definition of a Business. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB’) issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which became effective in the first quarter of 2018 and significantly narrows how businesses are defined. Under ASU 2017-01, when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the assets acquired do not constitute a business. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, then the assets acquired may constitute a business if certain criteria are met. We must determine whether the acquired gross assets and activities include an input and a “substantive” process that together “significantly” contribute to the ability to create an output. A framework and specific criteria are provided to assist with the evaluation of whether a process is “substantive” and “significantly contributes” to the ability to create an output. “Output” is narrowly defined to be consistent with the description of a performance obligation in the new revenue guidance or this ASU. Missing inputs and processes may not be replaced by integration with our own inputs and processes under the new guidance. The adoption of ASU 2017-1 did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 because we did not acquire a business during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Nonfinancial Asset Derecognition. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets: Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope of recent guidance as it relates to nonfinancial asset derecognition and the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The ASU conforms the derecognition guidance as it relates to nonfinancial assets with the derecognition guidance in the new revenue standard (ASC 606) and is not expected to have a material impact on the accounting for real estate dispositions. ASU 2017-5 became effective in the first quarter of 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold a non-financial asset, which is discussed further in Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies. There was no material impact from the adoption of this ASU in our condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Stock Compensation Modification. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation – Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements, which became effective in the first quarter of 2018. Specifically, we do not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. We elected to adopt this guidance prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Settlement of Convertible Debt. ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, issued in August 2016, requires that cash settlements of principal amounts of debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the debt must classify the portion of the principal payment attributable to the accreted interest related to the debt discount as cash outflows from operating activities. This is consistent with the classification of the coupon interest payments.

ASU 2016-15 became effective in the first quarter of 2018. Accordingly, $63.6 million of the debt discount attributable to the difference between the 0.75% coupon interest rate on our 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (“Notes”) and the 4.98% (5.46% inclusive of debt issuance costs) effective interest rate on the Notes will be classified as an operating cash outflow in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows upon any cash settlement of the Notes. The Notes were not settled as of September 30, 2018. We will apply ASU 2016-15 upon any cash settlement of the Notes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Lease Arrangements. Under current guidance, the classification of a lease by a lessee as either an operating or capital lease determines whether an asset and liability is recognized on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-2, Leases, which was issued in February 2016 and will be effective in the first quarter of 2019, requires that a lessee recognize an asset and liability on its balance sheet related to all leases with terms more than one year. For all leases, a lessee will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position. The right-to-use asset represents the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term.
The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows by a lessee will not significantly change from previous guidance. There continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. The criteria for determining whether a lease is a finance or operating lease are substantially the same as existing guidance except that the “bright line” percentages have been removed. Also, an additional criterion has been added in the new guidance to consider whether the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Additional judgment will be required in applying the new lease guidance.
For finance leases, interest is recognized on the lease liability separately from depreciation of the right-of-use asset in the statement of operations. Principal repayments are classified within financing activities and interest payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
For operating leases, a lessee is required to recognize lease expense generally on a straight-line basis. All operating lease payments are classified as operating activities in the statement of cash flows.
The current build-to-suit lease accounting guidance will be rescinded by the new guidance, although simplified guidance will remain regarding lessee control during the construction period. Consequently, the accounting for build-to-suit leases will be the same as operating leases unless the lessee control provisions are applicable.
We expect to apply the additional transition method provided in ASU 2018-11, which allows us to initially apply the new leases standard at our January 1, 2019 adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We expect to elect all of the available transition practical expedients which permit us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. While we continue to assess the effects of the adoption, we have not yet quantified the impact but we believe there will be material increases in our non-current assets and liabilities, and in our current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time of adoption. The adoption of this new standard to our lease transactions as lessee is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations as reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We do not expect a material impact on our results of operations or financial position from adoption of this standard to our lease transactions as lessor.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our 2017 Form 10-K, with the exception of the following:
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. On January 1, 2018, we also adopted ASC 340-40 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts as of the date of initial application.
We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay. Judgments are made after considering a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience, current creditworthiness, current economic impacts on the customer, past due balances, and significant one-time events or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information.
For customer arrangements that include multiple products or services, judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. Where an observable price is not available, we gather all reasonable available data points, consider adjustments based on market conditions, entity-specific factors, and the need to stratify selling prices into meaningful groups (e.g., geographic region) in determining SSP. We allocate the total contract consideration to each distinct performance obligation on a relative SSP basis. Revenue is then recognized in accordance with the timing of the transfer of control of each performance obligation to the customer.
Accounting for long-term contracts where we provide information technology system development and implementation services requires significant judgment to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For long-term contracts, we estimate the profit on a contract

9

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)


as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete the services. We then recognize that revenue and profit over the life of the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that could span several years.
A change in our estimate of total costs to complete could affect the profitability of our contracts. We review and update our contract-related estimates regularly, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that they are determined. Changes in estimates related to certain types of contracts accounted for using an input method measure of progress, such as cost-to-cost, can occur over the life of a contract for a variety of reasons, including the availability of labor and labor productivity, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, cost estimates, level of effort and/or other assumptions impacting revenue or cost to perform a contract. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If, at any time, the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize the total loss in the quarter it is identified.
Management exercises judgment to determine the period of benefit to amortize contract acquisition costs by considering factors such as expected renewals of customer contracts, duration of customer relationships and our technology development life cycle. Although we believe that the historical assumptions and estimates we have made are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact our reported financial results. Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs is included in sales and marketing expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We periodically review these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit of these deferred contract acquisition costs.
The nature of our products and services are as follows:
Hardware. Our hardware, such as Industrial Inkjet printers and Fiery digital front ends (“DFEs”), is generally sold with software that is integral to the functionality of the product. In these cases, the hardware and software license are accounted for as a single performance obligation. The contract consideration is generally in the form of a fixed fee at contract inception and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. Consideration received from customers may include trade-in printers, which are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
We offer shipping and handling services to customers related to the sale of hardware. We have elected the practical expedient to account for shipping and handling activities performed after transferring control of goods to our customer as a cost to fulfill the contract. The cost of shipping and handling is accrued at the point in which control transfers to the customer and revenue is recognized.
Ink. We typically enter into contracts with our existing customer base of installed printers to purchase ink that is not bundled with other deliverables within the contract. The ink is accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the ink is transferred to the customer.
Licenses. Our software license arrangements provide the customer with the right to install and use functional intellectual property (as it exists at the point in time at which the license is granted) for the duration of the contract term. Revenue from distinct software licenses is recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer for download.

Our software license arrangements are generally comprised of fixed license fees (“license fees”) that are payable upfront, annually, quarterly, or monthly based on negotiated customer payment terms. For software license arrangements in which a significant portion of the license fees are due more than 12 months after the software is delivered to the customer, a significant financing component may exist. The significant financing component is calculated as the difference between the stated value and present value of the software license fees and is recognized as interest income under the effective interest method over the contract term. The total software license fee net of the significant financing component is recognized as revenue at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer for download or when the software is shipped to the customer. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition and the timing of invoicing is one year or less, we follow the practical expedient and do not impute interest for these contracts.
Maintenance. Our software license arrangements typically include an initial (bundled) post contract customer support (maintenance or “PCS”) term. Our promise to those customers who elect to purchase PCS represents a distinct, stand-alone performance obligation. Contract consideration is allocated to the PCS based on its relative SSP and revenue is recognized over the PCS term.
Professional Services. We provide various professional services to customers, primarily project management, software implementation, non-recurring engineering design, and training. Revenues from arrangements to provide professional services are

10


Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Continued)


generally distinct from the other promises in the contract(s). The majority of our professional services contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed.
Software as a Service (“SaaS”). Our SaaS-based arrangements provide customers with continuous access to our software solutions in the form of a service hosted in the cloud. These arrangements may include initial implementation and setup and/or on-going support that represent a single promise (i.e. each individual promised component is not distinct) to provide continuous access to the software solution. Any setup fees associated with our SaaS arrangements are recognized ratably over the contract term plus expected renewal periods. As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as access is provided, our performance obligation under our SaaS-based arrangements is comprised of a series of distinct components delivered over time. Our SaaS-based arrangements consideration is typically fixed.
Extended Service Plans (“ESP”). For our hardware arrangements, we enter into contracts with certain customers to provide services to maintain and repair the hardware for an extended period. ESPs are classified as service-type warranties under ASC 606 as they are sold separately and provide services which are incremental to the assurance that the product will perform to the agreed upon standards. The ESPs are accounted for as a separate performance obligation. Revenue from ESPs are recognized ratably over the contract period as the service is provided.

Note 2.     Earnings Per Share
Net income per basic common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income per diluted common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method, non-vested shares of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") having a dilutive effect, non-vested performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") for which the performance criteria have been met, shares to be purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) having a dilutive effect, the assumed release of shares for the expected satisfaction of contingent consideration based on achievement of specified performance criteria related to the acquisition of Corrugated Technologies, Inc. (“CTI”), the assumed conversion of our Notes having a dilutive effect using the treasury stock method when the stock price exceeds the conversion price of the Notes, as well as the dilutive effect of our warrants when the stock price exceeds the warrant strike price. Our stock price has not exceeded the conversion price of the Notes or the strike price of the warrants during any periods presented. Any potential shares that are anti-dilutive are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities.
PSUs and market-based restricted stock units that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the vesting period, if the result would be dilutive, are assumed to be outstanding for purposes of determining net income per diluted common share as of the later of the beginning of the period or the grant date. Accordingly, PSUs, which vested on various dates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, based on achievement of specified performance criteria related to revenue, cash flows from operating activities, and non-GAAP operating income targets, are included in the determination of net income per diluted common share as of the beginning of each period.

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include the effect of the potential common shares from conversion of our Notes and exercise of our warrants because the effect would have been anti-dilutive since the conversion price of the Notes and the strike price of the warrants exceeded the average market price of our common stock. We have the option to pay cash, issue shares of common stock, or any combination thereof for the aggregate amount due upon conversion of the Notes. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion. As a result, only amounts payable in excess of the principal amount of the Notes are considered in diluted net income per share under the treasury stock method. The Note Hedges are not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because the effect of any exercise of the Note Hedges would be anti-dilutive. Please refer to Note 9Convertible Senior Notes for additional information and definitions.

Note 3.     Segment and Geographic Information
Operating segment information is presented based on the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision making group (“CODM”) to allocate resources and evaluate operating segment performance. Our segments consist of Industrial Inkjet, Productivity Software, and Fiery.

Industrial Inkjet consists of our VUTEk super-wide and wide format display graphics, Nozomi corrugated packaging and display, Reggiani textile, and Cretaprint ceramic tile decoration and building material industrial digital inkjet printers; digital ultra-violet (“UV”) curable, light-emitting diode (“LED”) curable, ceramic, water-based, and thermoforming and specialty inks, as well as a variety of textile inks including dye sublimation, pigmented, reactive dye, acid dye, pure disperse dye, water-based dispersed printing ink, supplies, and coatings; digital inkjet printer parts; and professional services. Printing surfaces include paper, vinyl, corrugated, textile, glass, plastic, aluminum composite, ceramic tile, wood, and many other flexible and rigid substrates.
Productivity Software consists of a complete software suite that enables efficient and automated end-to-end business and production workflows for the print and packaging industry. This Productivity Suite also provides tools to enable revenue growth, efficient scheduling, and optimization of processes, equipment, and personnel. Customers are provided the financial and technical flexibility to deploy locally within their business or to be hosted in the cloud. The Productivity Suite addresses all segments of the print industry and consists of the: (i) Packaging Suite, with Radius at its core, for tag & label, cartons, and flexible packaging businesses; (ii) Corrugated Packaging Suite, with CTI at its core, for corrugated packaging businesses, including corrugated control capability using EFI Escada; (iii) Enterprise Commercial Print Suite, with Monarch at its core, for enterprise print businesses; (iv) Publication Print Suite, with Monarch or Technique at its core, for publication print businesses; (v) Midmarket Print Suite, with Pace at its core, for medium size print businesses; (vi) Quick Print Suite, with PrintSmith Vision and essential capabilities of Digital StoreFront at its core, for small printers and in-plant sites; and (vii) Value Added Products, available with the suite and standalone, such as web-to-print, e-commerce, cross media marketing, warehousing, fulfillment, shop floor data collection, and shipping to reduce costs, increase profits, and offer new products and services to their existing and future customers. We also market Optitex computer-aided fashion design (“fashion CAD”) software, which facilitates fast fashion and increased efficiency in the textile and fashion industries.
Fiery consists of Fiery and FreeFlow Print Server (“FFPS”), which was acquired from Xerox Corporation (“Xerox”), that transform digital copiers and printers into high performance networked printing devices for the office, commercial and industrial printing markets. This operating segment is comprised of (i) stand-alone DFEs connected to digital printers, copiers, and other peripheral devices, (ii) embedded DFEs and design-licensed solutions used in digital copiers and multi-functional devices, (iii) optional software integrated into our DFE solutions such as Fiery Central, and Graphics Arts Package, (iv) Fiery Self Serve, our self-service and payment solution, and (v) stand-alone software-based solutions such as our proofing, textile, and scanning solutions.
Operating income is not reported by operating segment because operating expenses include significant shared expenses and other costs that are managed outside of the operating segments. Such operating expenses include various corporate expenses such as stock-based compensation, corporate sales and marketing, research and development, amortization of identified intangibles, various non-recurring charges, and other separately managed general and administrative expenses.

Note 4.     Revenue
We derive our revenue primarily from product revenue, which includes industrial digital inkjet printers, ink, and parts; print production software; and DFEs. We receive service revenue from printer maintenance agreements, customer support, training, software development, and consulting.
Upon the adoption of ASC 606 and ASC 340-40, we recorded a net increase to our opening balance of retained earnings of $4.7 million as of January 1, 2018, after considering the income tax impact, due to the cumulative effect of adoption. The adoption impact primarily related to capitalizing customer contract acquisition costs consisting of sales commissions, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue to reflect the deferral of a significant financing component that will be recognized as interest income as payments are received over the contractual terms, and deferral of upfront setup fees that will be recognized ratably over the expected contractual terms.

The cumulative effect of applying ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 to active contracts as of the adoption date resulted in the following adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2018 (in thousands):

Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods (“backlog”). Remaining performance obligations were $105.4 million as of September 30, 2018, of which we expect to recognize substantially all of the revenue over the next 12 months.
Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from timing of invoicing to customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract. Deferred revenue (contract liability) represents amounts received in advance, or invoiced in advance, for product support contracts, software customer support contracts, consulting and integration projects, SaaS arrangements, or product sales. We defer these amounts when we collect or invoice the customer and then generally recognize revenue either ratably over the support contract term, upon performing the related services, under the cost-to-cost method, or in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, which was included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2017, was $7.6 and $45.3 million, respectively.
Unbilled accounts receivable represents contract assets for revenue that have been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for long-term contracts. Billing requirements vary by contract but are generally structured around the completion of certain development milestones. Unbilled accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017, that were transferred to accounts receivable during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were $2.7 and $24.6 million, respectively.

Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs
Certain of our sales incentive programs that meet the definition of an incremental cost of obtaining a customer contract are required to be capitalized under ASC 340-40. We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year.
Sales commissions for renewal of a contract may not be commensurate with the commissions paid for the acquisition of the initial contract because commissions are generally not paid on the renewal of a specifically anticipated contract. Sales commissions for initial contracts are deferred and then amortized generally on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we have determined to be three to four years. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration our customer contracts, our technology, and other factors.
Upon adoption of ASC 340-40 on January 1, 2018, we capitalized $8.1 million in contract acquisition costs related to contracts that were not completed. For contracts that have durations of less than one year, we follow the practical expedient and expense these costs when incurred.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we amortized $1.1 and $3.3 million of deferred contract acquisition costs, respectively, and we recognized no impairment losses in relation to costs capitalized. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, an additional $1.1 and $3.2 million of contract acquisition costs were capitalized, respectively. Deferred contract acquisition costs are included within other noncurrent assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Deferred Cost of Revenue
Deferred cost of revenue related to unrecognized revenue on shipments to customers was $1.3 and $3.5 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is included in other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 6.     Accounts Receivable
Financing Receivables
Our financing receivables consist of sales-type lease and trade receivables that have an original contractual maturity in excess of one year. Sales-type lease receivables are included within other current assets and other assets, while trade receivables are included in accounts receivable (net of allowances) and other assets. Our financing receivables are summarized as follows (in thousands):

The credit quality of financing receivables is evaluated on the same basis as trade receivables. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts is provided as needed.
Accounts Receivable Sales Arrangements
Trade receivables are derecognized from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when sold to third parties upon determining that such receivables are presumptively beyond the reach of creditors in a bankruptcy proceeding. Any recourse obligation is measured using market data from similar transactions and the servicing liability is determined based on the fair value that a third party would charge to service these receivables. These liabilities were determined to not be material as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

We have facilities in the U.S. that enable us to sell to third parties, on an ongoing basis, certain trade receivables with recourse. Trade receivables sold with recourse are generally short-term receivables with payment due dates of less than 10 days from the date of sale. Trade receivables sold under these facilities were $3.1 and $13.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 respectively, and $21.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, which approximates the cash received.

We have facilities in Europe that enable us to sell to third parties, on an ongoing basis, certain trade receivables without recourse. Trade receivables sold without recourse are generally short-term receivables secured by letters of credit with payment due dates of less than one year. Trade receivables sold under these facilities were $1.1 and $6.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $5.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, which approximates the cash received.

We report collections from the sale of trade receivables to third parties as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 7.     Fair Value Measurements
We invest our excess cash on deposit with major banks in money market, United States (“U.S.”) Treasury and government-sponsored entity, corporate, municipal government, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed residential debt securities. By policy, we invest primarily in high-grade marketable securities. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or issuers of these investments to the extent of the amounts recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Typically, the cost of these investments approximates fair value. Marketable investments with a maturity greater than three months are classified as available-for-sale short-term investments. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of AOCI, net of tax. The credit portion of any other-than-temporary impairment is included in net income. Realized gains and losses on sales or maturities of financial instruments are recognized upon sale of the investments using the specific identification method.

For fixed income securities that have unrealized losses as of September 30, 2018, we do not have the intent to sell any of these investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. We have evaluated these fixed income securities and determined that no credit losses exist. Accordingly, management has determined that the unrealized losses on our fixed income securities as of September 30, 2018 were temporary in nature.

Fair Value Measurements
Our fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs that are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs that are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life or by comparison to similar instruments; and
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable or reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. These include management’s own judgments about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our fixed income securities. The market approach is a valuation technique that uses the prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The fair value of our fixed income securities is obtained using readily-available market prices from a variety of industry standard data providers, large financial institutions, and other third-party sources for the identical underlying securities. The fair value of our investments in certain money market funds is expected to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share and, as such, is priced at the expected market price.
We obtain the fair value of our Level 2 financial instruments from several third-party asset managers, custodian banks, and accounting service providers. Independently, these service providers use professional pricing services to gather pricing data, which may include quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly. As part of this process, we engaged a pricing service to assist management in its pricing analysis and assessment of other-than-temporary impairment. All estimates, key assumptions, and forecasts were either provided by or reviewed by us. While we utilize a third-party pricing service, the impairment analysis and related valuations represent conclusions of management and not conclusions or statements of any third party.

Money market funds have been classified as cash equivalents as of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Investments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Investments in U.S. Treasury obligations and overnight money market mutual funds have been classified as Level 1 because these securities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets or are actively traded at $1.00 net asset value. There have been no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Government agency investments and corporate debt instruments, including investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, have generally been classified as Level 2 because markets for these securities are less active or valuations for such securities utilize significant inputs, which are directly or indirectly observable. We hold asset-backed securities with income payments derived from and collateralized by a specified pool of underlying assets. Asset-backed securities in the portfolio are predominantly collateralized by credit cards and auto loans. We also hold mortgage-backed securities which have been fully reserved.
Liabilities for Contingent Consideration
Acquisition-related liabilities for contingent consideration (i.e., earnouts) as of September 30, 2018 are related to the 2017 acquisitions of Escada Innovations Limited and Escada Systems, Inc. (collectively, “Escada”) and Generation Digital Solutions, Inc. (“Generation Digital”); the 2016 acquisitions of Optitex Ltd. (“Optitex”) and Rialco Limited (“Rialco”); the 2015 acquisitions of Shuttleworth Business Systems Limited and CDM Solutions Limited (collectively, “Shuttleworth”), and CTI; and the 2013 acquisition of PrintLeader Software (“PrintLeader”).

The fair value of these earnouts is estimated to be $20.3 and $35.7 million as of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively, by applying the income approach in accordance with ASC 805-30-25-5. Key assumptions include risk-free discount rates between 0.6% and 5.0%, as well as probability-adjusted revenue, gross profit, and direct operating income using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Probability-adjusted revenue, gross profit, and direct operating income are significant inputs that are not observable in the market, and are therefore classified as Level 3 inputs. These contingent liabilities have been reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018, as current and noncurrent liabilities of $8.5 and $11.8 million, respectively.

The Optitex, Generation Digital, and Shuttleworth earnout liability valuations decreased, on a combined basis, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 by $1.5 and $14.3 million, respectively, based on recent actual and updated forecasted financial performance data. The Escada earnout liability valuation increased $2.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Optitex, CTI, and Rialco earnout probabilities increased, while the Shuttleworth earnout performance probability decreased, during 2017. The earnout liability valuations increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 by $0.1 and $1.0 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date are reported in general and administrative expenses.
Earnout payments and settlements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $2.6 and $3.4 million were primarily related to the Rialco, Generation Digital, and Shuttleworth contingent consideration liabilities. Earnout payments and settlements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $10.3 and $11.6 million, respectively, were related to the Reggiani, Optitex, Rialco, and Shuttleworth contingent consideration liabilities.
The primary inputs to the fair value measurement of contingent consideration liability are the discount rate and probability-adjusted revenue or earnings targets specified in the acquisition agreements. Accordingly, we reviewed the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in these inputs. We assessed the probability of achieving the revenue and profitability performance targets for contingent consideration associated with each acquisition at percentage levels between 50% and 100% as of each respective acquisition date based on an assessment of the historical performance of each acquired entity, our current expectations of future performance, and other relevant factors. A change in probability-adjusted revenue of five percentage points from the level assumed in the current valuations would result in an increase in the fair value of contingent consideration of $1.8 million or a decrease of $1.2 million. A change in the discount rate of one percentage point would result in an increase in the fair value of contingent consideration of $0.2 million or a decrease of $0.2 million. The potential undiscounted amount of contingent consideration that we could be required to pay related to our business acquisitions, assuming all remaining earnout payments were maximized, would be $11.4 million above amounts currently accrued as of September 30, 2018.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
We utilize the income approach to measure the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates, and forward prices, and are therefore classified as Level 2 measurements. The notional amount of our derivative assets and liabilities was $209.9 and $239.4 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Fair Value of Convertible Senior Notes
In September 2014, we issued $345 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes. The Notes are carried at their original issuance value, net of unamortized debt discount, and are not marked to market each period. The fair value of the Notes as of September 30, 2018 was approximately $340.7 million and was classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement. Fair value was estimated based upon actual quotations obtained at the end of the reporting period or the most recent date available. The market value of our Notes can be in excess of the outstanding principal amount due to the conversion premium.

Note 8.     Derivatives and Hedging
We are exposed to market risk and foreign currency exchange risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which could affect operating results, financial position, and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are used to hedge monetary assets and liabilities, intercompany balances, trade receivables, anticipated cash flows, and to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in foreign currency exchange rates. Our objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities. We do not have any leveraged derivatives, nor do we use derivative contracts for speculative purposes. We present the fair value of all open derivative instruments, including those embedded in other contracts, as assets or liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related cash flow impacts of our derivative contracts are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
Our exposures are primarily related to non-U.S. dollar-denominated revenue in Europe, the U.K., Latin America, China, Israel, and Australia, and to non-U.S. dollar-denominated operating expenses in Europe, India, the U.K., China, Israel, Brazil, and Australia. From time to time we have hedged our operating expense cash flow exposure in Indian rupees. We hedge balance sheet remeasurement exposure associated with British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Brazilian real, Israeli shekel, Japanese yen, and Euro-denominated intercompany balances; Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Australian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Israeli shekel, and Euro-denominated trade receivables; and British pound sterling, Israeli shekel, Canadian dollar, and Euro-denominated net monetary assets.

By their nature, derivative instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange movement is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets, and liabilities being hedged. Under our master netting agreements with our foreign currency derivative counterparties, we are allowed to net transactions of the same currency with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. The derivatives held by us are not subject to any credit contingent features negotiated with these counterparties. We are not required to pledge cash collateral related to these foreign currency derivative contracts. We do not believe there is significant risk of loss from non-performance by the counterparty associated with these instruments because, by policy, we only deal with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.
Cash Flow Hedges
We did not have any foreign currency derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2018 nor during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our foreign currency derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges for our Indian rupee operating expenses were in the notional amount of $3.9 million as of December 31, 2017. The fair value of the net assets (liabilities) related to these cash flow hedges were not material. The changes in fair value of these contracts are reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified to operating expense in the periods of payment of the hedged operating expenses. The amount of ineffectiveness that was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for these designated cash flow hedges was immaterial. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. 
Balance Sheet Hedges
Our forward contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment since there is a natural offset for the remeasurement of the underlying foreign currency denominated asset or liability. We recognize changes in the fair value of non-designated derivative instruments in earnings in the period of change. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge balance sheet exposures are recognized in interest income and other income, net, in the same period as the remeasurement gain or loss of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Our forward contracts not designated for hedge accounting treatment consisted of hedges of Australian dollar, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Euro, Israeli shekel and Japanese yen.

Note 9.     Convertible Senior Notes
0.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2019
In September 2014, we completed a private placement of $345 million principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due September 1, 2019. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $336.3 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ commissions and the offering expenses paid by us. We used approximately $29.4 million of the net proceeds to purchase the Note Hedges described below, net of the proceeds from the Warrant transactions also described below.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of EFI with interest payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The Notes are not callable and will mature on September 1, 2019, unless previously purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Holders of the Notes who convert in connection with a “fundamental change,” as defined in the indenture governing the Notes (“Indenture”), may require us to purchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The initial conversion rate is 18.9667 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.72 per share of common stock. Upon conversion of the Notes, holders will receive cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof, at our election. Our intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion. If the conversion value exceeds the principal amount, we would deliver shares of our common stock for our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount. As of September 30, 2018, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert had been met.
We separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 4.98% per annum (5.46% inclusive of debt issuance costs). The equity component is not remeasured if it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
We allocated the total transaction costs incurred by the issuance of the Notes to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Issuance costs of $7.0 million attributable to the $281.4 million liability component are being amortized to expense over the term of the Notes, and issuance costs of $1.6 million attributable to the $63.6 million equity component were offset against the equity component in stockholders’ equity. Additionally, we recorded a deferred tax liability of $23.7 million on the debt discount, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Note Hedges
We paid an aggregate of $63.9 million in convertible note hedge transactions with respect to our common stock (“Note Hedges”) in September 2014. The Note Hedges will expire upon maturity of the Notes. The Note Hedges are intended to offset the potential dilution upon conversion and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market value per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Note Hedges, is greater than the strike price of the Note Hedges. The strike price of the Note Hedges initially corresponded to the conversion price of the Notes and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion price of the Notes. The Note Hedges are separate transactions and are not part of the Notes. Holders of the Notes will not have any rights with respect to the Note Hedges.
Warrants
Concurrently with entering into the Note Hedges, we separately sold Warrants to acquire shares of our common stock at a strike price of $68.86 per share (the "Warrants"). We received aggregate proceeds of $34.5 million from the sale of the Warrants. If the average market value per share of our common stock for the reporting period, as measured under the Warrants, exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, the Warrants will have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share. The Warrants are separate transactions and are not part of the Notes or the Note Hedges and are accounted for as a component of additional paid-in capital. Holders of the Notes and Note Hedges will not have any rights with respect to the Warrants.

Note 10.     Commitments and Contingencies
Contingent Consideration
We are required to make payments to the former stockholders of acquired companies based on the achievement of specified performance targets as explained in Note 7Fair Value Measurements.
Lease Commitments and Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2018, we have leased certain of our current facilities and vehicles under noncancelable operating lease agreements. We are required to pay property taxes, insurance, and nominal maintenance costs for certain of these facilities and vehicles, and any increases over the base year of these expenses on the remainder of these leases.
Lease Termination
On July 27, 2018, we executed an agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the lease agreement dated April 19, 2013 between John Arrillaga Survivor’s Trust, represented by John Arrillaga, Trustee, and Richard T. Peery Separate Property Trust, represented by Richard T. Peery, Trustee and the Company, pursuant to which the Company had leased a portion of an approximately 108,000 square foot, two-story building located at 6700 Dumbarton Circle, Fremont, CA, adjacent to the Company’s headquarters. The Termination Agreement was effective July 31, 2018. The Company moved its operations and personnel from the formerly leased facility into our headquarters building in July 2018. Prior to executing the Termination Agreement, the underlying lease had a remaining term of ten years and minimum noncancelable lease payments of $16.0 million. For accounting purposes, we were considered the owner of the building and had recorded the asset at a net book value of $13.7 million in property and equipment, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet prior to the termination. As of July 31, 2018, we derecognized the lease asset and removed the corresponding liability of $14.5 million, which represented the present value of the lease obligation, from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Termination Agreement required us to pay total penalties of $0.8 million. The net loss from this lease termination of $0.1 million was charged to restructuring expense during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Assets Held for Sale
During the fourth quarter of 2017, our management approved a plan to sell approximately 31.5 acres of land and two manufacturing buildings located at One Vutek Place and 189 Waukewan Street, Meredith, New Hampshire, consisting of 163,000 total square feet. These assets, which were previously recorded within property and equipment, net at a net book value of $5.1 million, were reclassified as assets held for sale upon the approval of the plan. We recognized an impairment charge of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, and reported the assets at $4.2 million on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we sold the 189 Waukewan Street land and building for net proceeds of $1.1 million and recognized a gain of $0.1 million. The One Vutek Place land and building remained in assets held for sale at a total value of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2018 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are actively being marketed.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing – Lease Arrangements
On August 26, 2016, we entered into a lease agreement with a lease term of 48.5 years, inclusive of two renewal options of 5.0 and 3.5 years, with the City of Manchester, NH to lease 16.9 acres adjacent to the Manchester Regional Airport. The land is subleased to MUFG Americas Capital Leasing & Finance, LLC (“MUFG”), formerly Bank of Tokyo – Mitsubishi UFJ Leasing & Finance LLC, during the term of the lease related to the manufacturing facility that was constructed on the site, which is described below. Minimum lease payments are $13.3 million during the entire 48.5-year term of the land lease, excluding six months of the land lease that were financed into the manufacturing facility lease.
On August 26, 2016, we entered into a six-year lease with MUFG whereby a 225,000-square foot manufacturing and warehouse facility was constructed for our Industrial Inkjet operating segment at a cost of $39.8 million. Construction was completed in April 2018. Minimum lease payments during the initial six-year term are $1.8 million. Upon completion of the initial six-year term, we have the option to renew the lease, purchase the facility, or return the facility to MUFG subject to an 89% residual value guarantee under which we would recognize additional rent expense in the form of a variable rent payment. We have assessed our exposure in relation to the residual value guarantee and believe that there is no deficiency to the guaranteed value as of September 30, 2018.
During the construction period, we were required to maintain restricted cash equivalents or restricted investments equal to the amount expended to date on the construction of the building as collateral. The funds were deposited with a third-party trustee and were restricted during the construction period. Upon completion of construction, $39.8 million was deposited with MUFG and is restricted as collateral until the end of the underlying building lease period.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, or proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities laws, intellectual property rights, employment, or other matters that may arise in the normal course of business. We assess our potential liability in each of these matters by using the information available to us. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. We accrue estimated losses from contingencies if a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated.

As of September 30, 2018, we are subject to the matters described below:
Matan Digital Printing (“MDG”) Matter. EFI acquired Matan Digital Printers (“Matan”) in 2015 from sellers (the “2015 Sellers”) that had acquired Matan Digital Printing Ltd. from other sellers in 2001 (the “2001 Sellers”). The 2001 Sellers have asserted a claim against the 2015 Sellers and Matan asserting that they are entitled to a portion of the 2015 Sellers’ proceeds from EFI’s acquisition. The 2015 Sellers dispute this claim and have agreed to indemnify EFI against the 2001 Sellers’ claim.
We do not believe that it is probable that we will incur a loss in the resolution of this matter. It is reasonably possible, however, that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution and we could incur a material loss in this matter. We estimate the range of loss to be between one dollar and $10.1 million. If we incur a loss in this matter, it will be offset by a receivable of an equal amount representing a claim for indemnification against the escrow account established in connection with the Matan acquisition.
Purported Class Action Lawsuit. On August 10, 2017, a putative class action was filed against the Company and its two named executive officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Pipitone v. Electronics For Imaging, Inc., No. 2:17-cv-5992 (D.N.J.). A First Amended Complaint was filed on February 20, 2018. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that statements by the Company and its officers about the Company’s financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures were false or misleading. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other costs, on behalf of a putative class of individuals and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired EFI securities from February 22, 2017 through August 3, 2017. EFI filed a motion to dismiss on April 23, 2018. The plaintiffs filed an opposition on May 23, 2018, and EFI filed its reply brief on June 13, 2018. A hearing on EFI’s motion to dismiss has not yet been scheduled.
At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Since this matter is in the preliminary stages, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred.

Purported Derivative Shareholder Lawsuits. On August 22, 2017, a purported derivative shareholder complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Alameda captioned Schiffmiller v. Gecht, No. RG17873197. A First Amended Complaint was filed on April 13, 2018. The complaint makes claims derivatively and on behalf of the Company as nominal defendant against the Company’s named executive officers and directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment, and alleges, among other things, that statements by the Company and its officers about the Company’s financial reporting, revenue recognition, internal controls, and disclosure controls and procedures were false or misleading. The complaint alleges the Company has suffered damage as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged actions, and seeks an unspecified amount of damages, restitution, and declaratory and other relief. The derivative action has been stayed pending the resolution of the Pipitone class action described above.
At this time, we do not believe it is probable that we will incur a material loss in this matter. However, it is reasonably possible that our financial statements could be materially affected by an unfavorable resolution of this matter. Because this matter has been stayed pending resolution of the Pipitone class action described above, we are not yet in a position to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss that may be incurred.
Other Matters. As of September 30, 2018, we were subject to various other claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings in addition to the matters discussed above. There is at least a reasonable possibility that additional losses may be incurred in excess of the amounts that we have accrued. However, we believe that these claims are not material to our financial statements or the range of reasonably possible losses is not reasonably estimable. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and while we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us, our financial statements could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies or because of the diversion of management’s attention and the incurrence of significant expenses.

Note 11.     Stock Repurchase Program
On September 11, 2017, the board of directors approved the repurchase of an additional $125 million for our share repurchase program commencing September 11, 2017 and expiring on December 31, 2018. The board of directors had previously authorized $150 million under the program in November 2015. Under this publicly announced program, we repurchased 1,614,166 and 1,019,544 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $50.5 and $47.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, $58.9 million remained authorized for repurchases under this program.
Our employees have the option to surrender shares of common stock to satisfy their tax withholding obligations that arise on the vesting of RSUs, the exercise price of certain stock options, and any tax withholding obligations incurred from exercise of stock options. Employees surrendered 63,107 and 233,159 shares at an aggregate value of $2.0 and $10.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. As of September 30, 2018, 100,000 shares underlying stock options are outstanding and exercisable. They are time-based options with an aggregate intrinsic value of $1.8 million, a weighted average exercise price of $16.00 per share, and remaining contractual term of 0.7 years. Aggregate intrinsic value for stock options represents the difference between the closing price per share of our common stock on the last trading day of the period and the option exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options outstanding, vested and expected to vest, and exercisable as of September 30, 2018.

Non-vested RSUs
Non-vested RSUs were awarded to employees under our equity incentive plans. Non-vested RSUs do not have the voting rights of common stock and the shares underlying non-vested RSUs are not considered issued and outstanding. Non-vested RSUs generally vest over a service period of one to four years. The compensation expense incurred for these service-based awards is based on the closing market price of our stock on the date of grant and is amortized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period.

Vested RSUs
The grant date fair value of RSUs vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $12.4 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of RSUs vested and expected to vest as of September 30, 2018 was $57.7 million and the remaining weighted average vesting period was 1.08 years. Aggregate intrinsic value for RSUs vested and expected to vest represents the closing market price per share of our common stock on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of RSUs vested and expected to vest as of September 30, 2018. RSUs expected to vest represent time-based RSUs unvested and outstanding as of September 30, 2018, and performance-based RSUs for which the requisite service period has not been rendered, but are expected to vest based on the achievement of performance conditions. Performance-based RSUs that vested based on certain financial results achieved are expensed in the period that the performance and related service criteria were met.

Valuation Assumptions for Performance-based and Market-based RSUs
Performance-based stock options, market-based RSUs, and market-based stock options were not granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We use the BSM option pricing model to value performance-based RSUs. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of performance-based RSUs granted and the assumptions used to estimate grant date fair value are as follows:

Our performance-based RSUs generally vest when specified performance criteria are met based on bookings, revenue, cash provided by operating activities, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP earnings per share, revenue growth compared to market comparables, non-GAAP earnings per share growth compared to cash flow from operating activities growth, or other targets during the service period; otherwise, they are forfeited. Non-GAAP operating income is operating income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to remove the impact of certain items and the related tax effects. Non-GAAP earnings per share is net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to remove the impact of certain items, and the related tax effects, divided by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
The grant date fair value per share determined in accordance with the BSM valuation model is being amortized over the service period of the performance-based awards. The probability of achieving the performance criteria was determined based on review of the actual results achieved thus far by each business unit compared with the operating plan during the service period as well as the overall expectations of the business unit. Stock-based compensation expense was adjusted based on the updated fair value resulting from this probability assessment. As actual results are achieved during the service period, the probability assessment is updated and stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.

Market-based awards that were granted in prior periods vest when our average closing stock price exceeds defined multiples of the closing stock price for 90 consecutive trading days. If these multiples are not achieved by the expiration date, the awards are forfeited. The grant date fair value is amortized over the average derived service period of the awards. The average derived service period and total fair value were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on our assumptions, which include a risk-free interest rate and implied volatility.

Note 13.     Restructuring and Other
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we continued to analyze and re-align our cost structure following our business acquisitions. These charges primarily relate to integrating recently acquired businesses, consolidating facilities, eliminating redundancies, and lowering our operating expense run rate. Restructuring and other consists primarily of restructuring, severance, short-term retention costs, facility downsizing and relocation, and acquisition integration expenses.
Restructuring and other costs were $2.8 and $10.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and were $0.8 and $5.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Restructuring and other costs include severance charges of $1.6 and $5.9 million related to reductions in head count of 30 and 113 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively; and $0.3 and $3.8 million related to reductions in head count of 15 and 128 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Severance costs include severance payments, retention payments, related employee benefits, outplacement fees, recruiting, and employee relocation costs.
Facilities relocation and downsizing expenses were $0.4 and $1.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively; and were $0.4 and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. These expenses were primarily related to the relocation of certain manufacturing and administrative locations due to reduced space requirements. Integration expenses of $0.9 and $3.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.2 and $1.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, were incurred for the integration of our business acquisitions.

Note 14.     Income Taxes
We recognized tax benefits of $4.3 and $1.9 million on pretax loss of $2.3 and pretax income of $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively; and tax provisions of $0.8 and $0.8 million on pretax net income of $4.2 and $11.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The benefit from (provision for) income taxes before discrete items reflected in the table below was a benefit of $0.9 and a provision of $0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and provisions of $2.0 and $4.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The decrease in the provision for income taxes before discrete items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with the same periods in the prior year, was primarily due to decreased profitability before income taxes.
Primary differences between our provision for income taxes before discrete items and the income tax provision at the U.S. statutory rate include taxes on permanently reinvested foreign earnings, the tax effects of stock-based compensation expense which are non-deductible for tax purposes, and the U.S. Research and Development Credit.

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was enacted by the U.S. government. The 2017 Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that impact the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, including, but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, imposing a one-time deemed repatriation transition tax, and the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The SEC issued SAB 118, which allows us to record a provisional estimate of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the period in which we can make a reasonable estimate of its effects. We recorded a $27.5 million tax charge in the year ended December 31, 2017 as a provisional estimate. This provisional estimate included an estimated charge of $17.0 million related to the deemed repatriation transition tax, which is comprised of a gross transition tax of $27.0 million offset by foreign tax credits of $10.0 million. In addition, we recorded a $10.5 million charge related to the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities in the year ended December 31, 2017. While we have calculated a reasonable estimate of the impact of the U.S. tax rate reduction and the amount of the deemed repatriation transition tax, we are gathering additional information to refine and finalize our calculation of the impacts of the 2017 Tax Act on our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities, the deemed repatriation transition tax, and other provisions associated with the 2017 Tax Act. As an adjustment to our December 2017 provisional estimate, we recorded a benefit of $0.7 million

and a provision of $0.5 million for federal and state taxes related to the deemed repatriation transition tax during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. As we obtain additional information, we will finalize the calculation of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The 2017 Tax Act also created a global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) provision, which is a minimum tax on certain foreign earnings, commencing in the year ending December 31, 2018. The amount of future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends on our current structure, estimated future results of global operations, and our intent and ability to modify our structure and/or our business. We are not yet able to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of this provision of the 2017 Tax Act. Therefore, we have not made any adjustments related to the potential GILTI tax in our financial statements and have not made a policy decision regarding whether to record deferred taxes associated with GILTI. Any subsequent adjustment to the deferred tax amounts related to GILTI (or other computations) will be recorded as a tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2018 when our analysis is complete.
As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, gross unrecognized benefits that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized were $30.8 and $33.9 million, respectively. Over the next twelve months, our existing tax positions will continue to generate increased liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. It is reasonably possible that our gross unrecognized tax benefits will decrease up to $6.9 million in the next twelve months. These adjustments, if recognized, would positively impact our effective tax rate, and would be recognized as additional tax benefits in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. $15.5 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits were offset against deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2018, and the remaining $15.3 million has been recorded as noncurrent income taxes payable.
We are open to assessment by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2015-2017 tax years, state tax jurisdictions for the 2013-2017 tax years, the Netherlands tax authority for the 2014-2016 tax years, the Spanish tax authority for the 2014-2017 tax years, the Israel tax authority for the 2014-2016 tax years, and the Italian tax authority for the 2013-2016 tax years.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes there have been no significant changes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2017 Form 10-K, with the exception of the following:

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption, we use significant judgments in applying the new revenue standards as further outlined in Notes 1 and 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key financial results during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
Our consolidated revenue increased by $8.8 million, or 4%, and $34.0 million, or 5%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in the three-month period was driven by a $12.0 million increase in Industrial Inkjet revenue and a $3.3 million increase in Productivity Software revenue, partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease in Fiery revenue. The increase in the nine-month period was driven by a $45.7 million increase in Industrial Inkjet revenue and an $14.5 million increase in Productivity Software revenue, partially offset by a $26.2 million decrease in Fiery revenue.
Gross profit decreased by $1.9 million or 2% during the three months ended September 30, 2018, and by $5.0 million or 1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Gross profit percentage declined to 48.8% from 51.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and to 49.2% from 52.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These reductions were primarily due to changes in product mix from proportionately lower Fiery sales and proportionately higher Industrial Inkjet sales. In addition, Industrial Inkjet gross margins in the 2018 periods are lower than historical levels due to the ramp-up of production on new products.
Operating expenses increased by $3.3 million or 3% and by $4.8 million or 1% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to increased sales and marketing expense of $2.4 million and increased restructuring and other expense of $2.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of identified intangibles of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2018. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to increased sales and marketing expense of $8.4 million, increased restructuring and other expense of $5.1 million, and increased research and development ("R&D") expense of $1.5 million, partially offset by a $10.1 million decrease in general and administrative ("G&A") expenses driven by a $14.0 million reduction in estimated fair value of contingent consideration on acquisitions.
Interest income and other income, net decreased by $1.4 and $1.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods last year. The decrease for the three-month period was primarily attributable to

higher foreign currency losses of $0.9 million. The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily due to a $1.0 million decline in interest income.
Provision for income taxes decreased by $5.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to decreased profitability before income taxes and the impacts of discrete income tax items during the current year periods.

Revenue
We classify our revenue, gross profit, assets, and liabilities in accordance with our three operating segments; Industrial Inkjet, Productivity Software, and Fiery, as described in Note 3Segment and Geographic Information of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 Ex-Currency. To better understand trends in our business, we believe it is helpful to adjust our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to exclude the impact of year-over-year changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. This is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by adjusting revenue, gross profit, and operating expenses by using historical exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior period and removing the balance sheet currency remeasurement impact from interest income and other income, net, including removal of any hedging gains and losses. We refer to these adjustments as “ex-currency.” The year-over-year currency impact can be determined as the difference between year-over-year actual fluctuations and year-over-year ex-currency fluctuations.

Management believes the ex-currency measures provide investors with an additional perspective on year-over-year financial trends and enable investors to analyze our operating results in the same way management does. A reconciliation of the ex-currency adjustments to GAAP results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is included under “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.

Our consolidated revenue increased by $34.0 million or 5% (2% ex-currency) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased Industrial Inkjet and Productivity Software revenue, partially offset by decreased Fiery revenue. Also, adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance increased reported revenue by $3.7 million in the nine-month period, primarily in the Productivity Software segment, compared to the previous revenue recognition guidance. In addition, we recorded out-of-period adjustments related to certain bill and hold transactions in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which decreased the prior year revenue by $3.4 million.
Industrial Inkjet
Industrial Inkjet revenue increased by $12.0 million, or 8% (9% ex-currency), during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased sales of Nozomi corrugated printers. Ink volume was up modestly in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. We experienced supply issues during the current quarter, primarily in China, where we saw changes in tariff structure, price increases in ink components, and short supplies of ink components due to reduced production levels at a number of suppliers, which limited the amount of ink we could manufacture. The company is working to increase purchases from new sources for ink components but we could still experience some negative impact on ink volume growth in the short term.
Industrial Inkjet revenue increased by $45.7 million, or 11% (8% ex-currency), during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased sales of Nozomi corrugated printers. In addition, we recorded out-of-period adjustments related to certain bill and hold transactions in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which decreased the prior year revenue by $3.4 million.
Productivity Software
Productivity Software revenue increased by $3.3 million, or 9% (9% ex-currency), during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017, primarily due to sales of our Escada corrugated systems. We acquired Escada in the fourth quarter of 2017. License revenue also increased by $1.5 million during the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2017.

Productivity Software revenue increased by $14.5 million, or 13% (11% ex-currency), during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017. Productivity software revenue increased primarily due to:
increased license revenue of $5.0 million, including the $3.6 million impact from adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance,
increased maintenance and services revenue of $3.2 million, and
sales of our Escada corrugated systems.
Fiery
Fiery revenue decreased by $6.5 million, or 9% (9% ex-currency) during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017. Fiery revenue decreased by $26.2 million, or 13% (13% ex-currency) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017. Although end customer and reseller preference for Fiery products drives demand, most Fiery revenue relies on printer manufacturers to design, develop, and integrate Fiery technology into their print engines. Certain of our customers have reduced purchases of Fiery controllers and software options during 2018 compared to 2017 due to their reduced sales of printers to which Fiery is attached.

Americas. Revenue increased by $20.8 million, or 6% (6% ex-currency), during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased sales of Nozomi corrugated printers.
EMEA. Revenue decreased by $3.6 million, or 1% (6% ex-currency), during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017, primarily due to lower sales of Fiery products.
APAC. Revenue increased by $16.8 million, or 17% (15% ex-currency), during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased sales of Reggiani textile printers.
Revenue Concentration
A substantial portion of our revenue has been attributable to sales of products through the leading printer manufacturers and independent distributor channels. We have a direct relationship with several leading printer manufacturers and work closely to design, develop, and integrate Fiery technology into their print engines. A significant portion of our revenue is, and has been, generated by sales of our Fiery DFE products to a relatively small number of leading printer manufacturers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, no customer individually accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated revenue. We expect that if we continue to increase our revenue in the Industrial Inkjet and Productivity Software operating segments in the future, the percentage of our revenue from the leading printer manufacturer customers will continue to decrease over time.

Our gross profit percentage decreased to 48.8% and 49.2% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from 51.3% and 52.2% during the same periods in 2017. The decreased gross profit percentage was primarily due to the greater proportion of Industrial Inkjet revenues than Productivity Software and Fiery revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The Productivity Software and Fiery segments produce higher average gross profit percentages than our Industrial Inkjet segment. In addition, as more fully explained below, the gross profit percentage in the Industrial Inkjet segment was lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 than in the comparable prior year periods.

Industrial Inkjet Gross Profit
The Industrial Inkjet gross profit percentage decreased to 34.6% (34.8% ex-currency) and 34.9% (34.4% ex-currency) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from 37.4% and 38.0% during the same periods in 2017. Gross profit percentages decreased due to a higher proportion of corrugated printer sales, which are currently at a relatively lower gross profit percentage due to the ramping up of production and sales of our new Nozomi single-pass industrial digital inkjet platform. In addition, other new product introductions are currently producing reduced gross profit percentages as those products undergo a similar ramp up phase.

Productivity Software Gross Profit
The Productivity Software gross profit percentages decreased to 70.2 (70.1% ex-currency) and 70.7 (70.9% ex-currency) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from 71.7% and 73.2% during the same periods in 2017. The decrease in gross profit percentages is primarily attributable to changes in product mix.
Fiery Gross Profit
The Fiery gross profit percentage increased to 71.8% (71.8% ex-currency) and 72.0% (71.9% ex-currency) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, from 70.2% and 70.2% during the same periods in 2017, reflecting changes in product mix and the impacts from cost reduction initiatives the Company has implemented.

Operating expenses increased by $3.3 million, or 3% (3% ex-currency) during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased sales and marketing expense of $2.4 million and increased restructuring and other expense of $2.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of identified intangibles of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Operating expenses increased by $4.8 million, or 1% (down 1% ex-currency) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an $8.4 million increase in sales and marketing expense, a $5.1 million increase in restructuring and other expense, and a $1.5 million increase in R&D expense, partially offset by a $10.1 million decrease in G&A expense. The decrease in G&A expense was driven by a $14.0 million reduction in estimated fair value of contingent consideration on acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expenses of $3.7 million.
Movement in foreign currency exchange rates did not have a material effect on operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2018, but increased operating expenses by $7.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017. We expect our operating expenses will continue to fluctuate as a result of movements in U.S. dollar exchange rates versus the Euro, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Israeli shekel, Chinese renminbi, Indian rupee and other currencies.
Research and Development
R&D expenses include personnel, consulting, travel, research and development facilities, prototype materials, testing and development equipment, and non-recurring engineering expenses.
R&D expense during the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $40.3 million, or 15.7% of revenue, compared to $39.6 million, or 15.9% of revenue, during the same period in 2017. The increase of $0.8 million, or 2% (3% ex-currency), was primarily driven by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million, partially offset by a reduction in prototypes and supplies.
R&D expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $119.7 million, or 15.8% of revenue, compared to $118.2 million, or 16.3% of revenue, during the same period in 2017. The increase of $1.5 million, or 1% (flat ex-currency), was primarily driven by increases in stock-based compensation expenses of $2.0 million and non-recurring engineering expenses of $1.0 million, partially offset by reduced expenses for consulting and temporary labor.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses include personnel, trade shows, marketing programs and promotional materials, sales commissions, travel and entertainment, depreciation, and worldwide sales office expenses.
Sales and marketing expense during the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $44.7 million, or 17.4% of revenue, compared to $42.3 million, or 17.0% of revenue, during the same period in 2017. The increase of $2.4 million, or 6% (6% ex-currency) was primarily driven by an increase of $1.2 million in stock-based compensation and higher personnel-related expenses of $0.8 million.

Sales and marketing expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $137.4 million, or 18.1% of revenue, compared to $129.0 million, or 17.8% of revenue, during the same period in 2017. The increase of $8.4 million, or 7% (4% ex-

39


currency) was primarily driven by higher personnel-related expenses of $5.9 million and increased stock-based compensation of $1.6 million.

General and Administrative
G&A expenses consist primarily of finance, human resources, legal, bad debts, and litigation expenses, as well as changes in the estimated fair value of earnout liabilities.

G&A expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $24.5 million, or 9.5% of revenue, compared to $25.1 million, or 10.1% of revenue, during the same period in 2017. The decrease of $0.6 million, or 2% (2% ex-currency) was primarily due to a reduction in audit, legal, and consulting service fees of $4.3 million, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation of $3.6 million.

G&A expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $57.1 million, or 7.5% of revenue, compared to $67.2 million, or 9.3% of revenue, during the same period in 2017. The decrease of $10.1 million, or 15% (17% % ex-currency) was primarily due to a $14.0 million reduction in the fair value of estimated contingent consideration, partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $3.7 million.
Stock-based Compensation
We amortize stock-based compensation cost on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period, after assessing the probability of achieving requisite performance criteria with respect to performance-based and market-based awards. Stock-based compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards. This results in greater stock-based compensation expense during the initial years of the vesting period.
Stock-based compensation expense was $11.9 and $4.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $7.3 million. Stock-based compensation expense increased primarily due to the timing of the annual equity grants and increased vesting probabilities of certain performance-based awards compared to the prior year.
Stock-based compensation expense was $30.5 and $22.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, an increase of $7.9 million. Stock-based compensation expense increased primarily due to an increase in new grants, increased ESPP expenses, timing of new grants, and increased vesting probabilities of certain performance-based awards compared to the prior year.
Amortization of Identified Intangibles
Amortization of identified intangibles during the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $11.1 million compared to $12.3 million during the same period in 2017, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 9%, due to certain intangible assets from prior year acquisitions becoming fully amortized. Amortization of identified intangibles during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $34.8 million, flat compared to the same period in 2017.
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other costs were $2.8 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Restructuring and other costs included severance charges of $1.6 and $0.3 million related to reductions in head count of 30 and 15 during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Costs of integration of acquired businesses were $0.9 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Restructuring and other costs were $10.5 and $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Restructuring and other costs included severance charges of $5.9 and $3.8 million related to reductions in head count of 113 and 128 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Costs of integration of acquired businesses were $3.2 million and $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Severance costs include severance payments, related employee benefits, outplacement fees, recruiting, and employee relocation costs.
Facilities relocation and downsizing expenses were $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Facilities relocation and downsizing expenses were $1.4 and $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in the 2018 nine-month period is primarily related to the relocation of our previous facilities in Meredith, NH to our new facility in Manchester, NH in the second quarter of 2018.
Interest Expense
Interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $4.8 and $14.7 million, respectively, compared to $4.9 million and $14.5 million, respectively, during the same periods in 2017.

Interest Income and Other Income, Net
Interest income and other income, net, includes interest income on our cash equivalents and short-term investments, gains and losses from sales of our cash equivalents and short-term investments, imputed interest income on revenue contracts with a significant financing component, and net foreign currency exchange gains and losses.
Interest income and other income, net was $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to income of $1.8 million during the same period in 2017. The change was primarily due to increased foreign currency exchange losses.
Interest income and other income, net was $1.3 million and $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.0 million decline in interest income.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, pretax loss of $2.3 million consisted of U.S. pretax loss of $12.1 million and foreign pretax income of $9.7 million, respectively. Pretax loss attributable to U.S. operations included stock-based compensation expense of $11.9 million, interest expense of $3.5 million, amortization of identified intangible assets of $2.9 million, and restructuring and other of $1.9 million. Pretax income attributable to foreign operations included amortization of identified intangible assets of $8.2 million, restructuring and other of $0.9 million, and a change in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on acquisitions of $2.2 million. The exclusion of these items from pretax loss would have resulted in U.S. and foreign pretax income of $8.1 and $21.1 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, pretax income of $0.2 million consisted of U.S. pretax loss of $42.2 million and foreign pretax income of $42.4 million, respectively. Pretax loss attributable to U.S. operations included stock-based compensation expense of $30.5 million, interest expense of $10.3 million, amortization of identified intangible assets of $9.0 million, restructuring and other of $7.1 million, and the favorable impact of a change in estimated fair value of contingent consideration on acquisitions of $2.6 million. Pretax income attributable to foreign operations included amortization of identified intangible assets of $25.8 million, restructuring and other of $3.3 million, and a favorable impact of a change in the fair value of estimated contingent consideration of $9.5 million. The exclusion of these items from pretax income would have resulted in U.S. and foreign pretax income of $12.0 and $62.1 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, pretax income of $4.2 million consisted of U.S. pretax loss of $0.8 million and foreign pretax income of $5.0 million, respectively. Pretax loss attributable to U.S. operations included amortization of identified intangible assets of $3.4 million, stock-based compensation of $4.6 million, restructuring and other of $0.7 million, acquisition-related costs of $0.6 million, legal and accounting fees related to the revenue recognition review and assessment of $4.7 million, and interest expense related to our Notes of $4.3 million. Pretax income attributable to foreign operations included amortization of identified intangible assets of $8.9 million, restructuring and other of $0.2 million, and earnout interest accretion of $0.3 million. The exclusion of these items from pretax income would result in U.S. and foreign pretax income of $17.5 and $14.4 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, pretax income of $11.8 million consisted of U.S. pretax loss of $2.8 million and foreign pretax income of $14.6 million, respectively. Pretax loss attributable to U.S. operations included amortization of identified intangible assets of $10.2 million, stock-based compensation of $22.5 million, restructuring and other of $4.1 million, legal and accounting fees related to the revenue recognition review and assessment of $4.7 million, acquisition-related costs of $1.9 million, cost of revenue resulting from the fair value adjustment of FFPS inventory of $0.5 million, change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.7 million, and interest expense related to our Notes of $12.7 million. Pretax income attributable to foreign operations included amortization of identified intangible assets of $24.7 million, restructuring and other of $1.3 million, cost of revenue resulting from the fair value adjustment of FFPS inventory of $0.7 million, and earnout interest accretion of $1.2 million. The exclusion of these items from pretax income would result in U.S. and foreign pretax income of $54.8 and $42.8 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Our tax provision has decreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 compared to the same periods in 2017, primarily due to decreased profitability before income taxes and the impacts of discrete income tax items.

The 2017 Tax Act has wide-ranging impacts including, but not limited to, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, imposing a one-time deemed repatriation transition tax, and the revaluation of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. The 2017 Tax Act also created a minimum tax on certain foreign earnings, also known as the GILTI provision, commencing in the year ending December 31, 2018. The SEC issued SAB 118 which allows us to record a provisional estimate of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the period in which we can make a reasonable estimate of its effects. As an adjustment to our December 2017 provisional estimates, we have recorded a benefit of $0.7 million and a provision of $0.5 million for federal and state taxes related to the deemed repatriation transition tax during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. As we obtain additional information, we will finalize the calculation of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2018.

We earn a significant amount of our operating income outside the U.S., which is deemed to be permanently reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. Of the income generated in jurisdictions with tax rates materially lower than the statutory U.S. tax rate of 21%, most is earned in the Cayman Islands. In 2017, we realigned the ownership of certain intellectual property to augment operational synergies and parallel both our worldwide intellectual property ownership and our worldwide supply chain. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly and be adversely impacted if anticipated earnings in the foreign jurisdictions are significantly different than current projections.

While we currently do not foresee a need to repatriate the earnings of foreign operations, should we require more capital in the U.S. than our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments located in the U.S., along with cash generated by our U.S. operations, we may elect to repatriate funds held in our foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the U.S. through debt or equity issuances. These alternatives could result in higher effective tax rates, the cash payments of taxes and/or increased interest expense, and foreign income and withholding taxes. Due to the enactment of the 2017 Tax Act, we are not subject to U.S. federal income tax on dividends received from our foreign subsidiaries commencing January 1, 2018. We are evaluating the potential foreign and U.S. state income tax liabilities that would result from future repatriations, if any, and how the 2017 Tax Act will impact our current permanent reinvestment assertion. We expect to complete this analysis and the impact, if any, which the 2017 Tax Act may have on our indefinite reinvestment assertion in the fourth quarter of 2018.

In Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, reversing a prior decision of the Tax Court, initially issued an opinion on July 24, 2018 to require U.S. corporations to share stock-based compensation expenses with their foreign affiliates in accordance with U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The Ninth Circuit subsequently withdrew this initial decision on August 7, 2018 to create a reconstituted panel to review its initial conclusion. These actions do not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements through September 30, 2018 because no benefit had been recorded as a result of the prior Tax Court decision. We will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income by considering both positive and negative evidence relating to their recoverability. If we believe that recovery of these deferred tax assets is not more likely than not, we establish a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we considered all available evidence, including recent operating results, projections of future taxable income, our ability to utilize loss and credit carryforwards, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. Other than valuation allowances on deferred tax assets related to California, Luxembourg, Israel, Netherlands, and Turkey deferred tax assets that will not likely be realized based on the size of the net operating loss and research and development credits being generated, we have determined that is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit related to all other deferred tax assets. To the extent we increase a valuation allowance, we include an expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period in which such determination is made.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Use of Non-GAAP Ex-Currency Financial Information
To better understand trends in our business, we believe it is helpful to adjust our statement of operations to exclude the impact of year-over-year changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. This is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by adjusting revenue, gross profit, and operating expenses by using historical exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior year period and removing the balance sheet currency re-measurement impact from interest income and other income, net, including removal of any hedging gains and losses. We refer to these adjustments as “ex-currency”. Management believes the ex-currency measures provide investors with an additional perspective on year-over-year financial trends and enable investors to analyze our operating results in the same way management does. The year-over-year currency impact can be determined as the difference between year-over-year actual growth rates and year-over-year ex-currency growth rates.
Our non-GAAP ex-currency measures, are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures, used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, revenue, gross profit, or operating expenses prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, and short-term investments decreased by $17.8 million to $333.7 million as of September 30, 2018, from $351.6 million as of December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to expenditures under our stock repurchase program, payments of acquisition-related debt, purchases of property and equipment, and contingent consideration payments related to businesses acquired, partially offset by cash flow from operating activities and proceeds from issuance of common stock.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents, and short-term investments held outside of the U.S. in various foreign subsidiaries were $132.8 and $88.4 million as of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. Management anticipates using these foreign funds for local operations and to finance international acquisitions.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash generated from operating activities will satisfy our working capital, capital expenditure, investment, stock repurchase, commitments (see Note 10Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations through at least the next twelve months. We believe that the most strategic uses of our cash resources include business acquisitions, strategic investments to gain access to new technologies, repurchase of shares of our common stock, and working capital.
Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our cash provided by operating activities was $50.2 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 consisted primarily of net income of $2.1 million, non-cash expenses including $50.1 million of depreciation and amortization, $30.5 million of stock-based compensation, and $11.3 million of non-cash accretion of interest expenses on Notes and imputed financing obligations, partially offset by the change in fair value of contingent consideration of $11.9 million, net change in derivative assets and liabilities of $2.4 million, and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $36.3 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities of $36.3 million consisted primarily of an increase in other current assets of $21.7 million, an increase in income taxes receivable of $7.2 million, and a decrease in income taxes payable of $6.8 million.
Accounts Receivable
Our primary source of operating cash flow is the collection of accounts receivable from our customers. One measure of the effectiveness of our collection efforts is average days sales outstanding for accounts receivable (“DSO”). DSOs were 86 and 84 days as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. We calculate DSO by dividing net accounts receivable at the end of the quarter by revenue recognized during the quarter, multiplied by the total days in the quarter.

DSOs increased slightly during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared with December 31, 2017, primarily due to a greater portion of our revenue coming from our Industrial Inkjet and Productivity Software segments which have substantially longer average payment terms than our Fiery segment. We expect DSOs to vary from period to period because of changes in the mix of business between direct customers and leading printer manufacturers, the effectiveness of our collection efforts both domestically and overseas, and variations in the linearity of our sales. As the percentage of Industrial Inkjet and Productivity Software related revenue increases, we expect DSOs may trend higher.


46


We have facilities in the U.S. that enable us to sell to third parties, on an ongoing basis, certain trade receivables with recourse. Trade receivables sold with recourse are generally short-term receivables with payment due dates of less than 10 days from date of sale. We also have facilities in Europe that enable us to sell to third parties, on an ongoing basis, certain trade receivables without recourse. Trade receivables sold without recourse are generally short-term receivables secured by international letters of credit with payment due dates of less than one year.
Trade receivables sold cumulatively under these facilities were $13.1 and $6.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 on a recourse and nonrecourse basis, respectively, which approximates the cash received. The receivables that were sold to third parties were removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Inventories
Our inventories are procured primarily in support of the Industrial Inkjet and Fiery operating segments. The majority of our Industrial Inkjet products are manufactured internally, while Fiery production is primarily outsourced. The result is lower inventory turnover for Industrial Inkjet inventories compared with Fiery inventories.
Our inventories decreased by $4.5 million to $121.3 million as of September 30, 2018 from $125.8 million as of December 31, 2017, primarily due to a decrease in Industrial Inkjet inventories. Inventory turnover was 4.3 turns for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared with 4.4 turns during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and 3.6 turns in the quarter ended September 30, 2017. We calculate inventory turnover by dividing annualized current quarter cost of revenue by ending inventories.
Investing Activities
Acquisitions
In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received cash from an escrow settlement of $1.0 million in relation to the acquisition of CTI and paid $0.3 million as a working capital purchase price adjustment on the acquisition of Escada. We received a net working capital adjustment of $0.2 million related to the Optitex acquisition during the first quarter of 2017, which was recorded as a purchase price adjustment.

On August 14, 2017, we acquired Generation Digital for cash consideration of $3.2 million, net of cash acquired, plus an additional potential future cash earnout, which is contingent on achieving certain revenue and operating profit performance targets. Generation Digital provides software to textile and fashion designers for the creation and design of prints and patterns, color matching, and color palette creation and management within our Fiery operating segment.

On May 8, 2017, we acquired CRC Information Systems, Inc. (“CRC”) from Reynolds for cash consideration of $7.6 million. CRC provides business process automation software for commercial label and packaging printers included in the Midmarket Print Suite within our Productivity Software operating segment.

On January 31, 2017, we purchased the FFPS business from Xerox for cash consideration of $5.9 million, plus $18.0 million of future cash payments, of which $9.0 million was paid in July 2017 and $9.0 million was paid in July 2018. These two subsequent payments are included in our cash flows from financing activities as repayment of acquisition-related debt in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The FFPS business manufactures and markets the FFPS DFE, which previously competed with our Fiery DFE.
Investments
Proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities, net of purchases, were $35.1 million and $77.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We have classified our investment portfolio as “available for sale.” Our investments are made with a policy of capital preservation and liquidity as primary objectives. We may hold investments in fixed income debt securities to maturity; however, we may sell an investment at any time if the quality rating of the investment declines, the yield on the investment is no longer attractive, or we have better uses for the cash. Since we invest primarily in investment securities

47


that are highly liquid with a ready market, we believe the purchase, maturity, or sale of our investments has no material impact on our overall liquidity.
Property and Equipment, Net
Our property and equipment additions have historically been funded with cash flows from operating activities. Net cash payments for purchases of property and equipment were $9.8 million and $8.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. See also Note 5 Supplemental Financial Statement Information of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about purchases of property and equipment.

Proceeds from sale of held-for-sale Building and Land
During the three months ended September 30, 2018 we sold one of our buildings and the related land in our former Meredith, NH facility for $1.1 million in cash. This property was previously included in assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017. We are actively marketing the remaining building and land at this formerly facility.
 
Restricted Cash Equivalents and Investments
We have restricted cash equivalents and investments that are required to be maintained by the lease related to our Manchester, NH facility, which is described more fully in Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The funds were invested with a third-party trustee during the construction period and upon completion of construction in April 2018, were deposited with MUFG where they are restricted as collateral until the end of the underlying building lease period in 2024. This restricted cash and cash equivalents was $39.8 and $32.5 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Financing Activities
Proceeds from Issuance of Common Stock
Historically, our recurring cash flows provided by financing activities have included receipt of cash from the issuance of common stock through the exercise of stock options and employee purchases of ESPP shares. We received proceeds from the exercise of stock options of zero and $1.7 million and employee purchases of ESPP shares of $10.2 million and $10.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. While we may continue to receive proceeds from these plans in future periods, the timing and amount of such proceeds are difficult to predict and are contingent on certain factors including the price of our common stock, the timing and number of stock options exercised by employees that had participated in these plans, net settlement options, employee participation in our ESPP, and general market conditions.
Treasury Stock Purchases
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 we expended $52.5 million and $56.9 million, respectively, to repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock. Such repurchases included $2.0 and $10.0 million used for net settlement of shares for the exercise price of certain stock options and any tax withholding obligations incurred connected with such exercises and tax withholding obligations that arose on the vesting of RSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On September 11, 2017, the board of directors approved an additional $125 million for our share repurchase program commencing September 11, 2017. At that time, $28.8 million remained available for repurchase under the 2015 authorization for this program. The 2017 authorization thereby increased the repurchase authorization to $153.8 million of our common stock. This authorization expires December 31, 2018. Under this publicly announced plan, we repurchased 1,614,166 and 1,019,544 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $50.5 million and $47.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, $58.9 million remained authorized for repurchases under this program.

Repayment of Acquisition-Related Debt
We paid $12.0 million and $10.8 million of acquisition-related debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These payments included $9.0 million in each nine-month period related to the acquisition of FFPS.

Earnout Payments
Earnout payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $3.1 million, consisting of payments related to previously accrued contingent consideration liabilities for Rialco, General Digital, and Shuttleworth. Earnout payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $9.5 million, primarily related to previously accrued contingent consideration liabilities for Reggiani, Rialco, and Shuttleworth.

Convertible Senior Notes
Our $345 million principal amount Notes are due on September 1, 2019, unless previously purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Company is currently evaluating alternatives for refinancing all or a portion of the Notes prior to their maturity date.
Other Commitments
We are reliant on several sole source suppliers for certain key components and could experience a significant negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations if such supplies were reduced or not available. From time to time we may find it necessary to purchase higher than normal levels of such supplies to provide safety stocks in case of supply disruptions. We may also be required to compensate our subcontract manufacturers for components purchased for orders subsequently canceled by us. We periodically review the potential liability for these purchase commitments and the adequacy of the related accruals.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing
Please refer to Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of our six-year lease with MUFG for a 225,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse facility in Manchester, NH. Minimum lease payments during the initial six-year term for the building are $1.8 million and minimum lease payments are $13.1 million during the 48.5-year term of the related land lease, excluding six months of the land lease that was financed into the manufacturing facility lease. Upon completion of the initial six-year building lease term, we have the option to renew the lease, purchase the facility, or return the facility to MUFG subject to an 89% residual value guarantee under which we would recognize additional rent expense in the form of a variable rent payment. We have assessed our exposure in relation to the residual value guarantee and believe that there is no deficiency to the guaranteed value as of September 30, 2018.
Contractual Obligations
Please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations” presented in our 2017 Form 10-K. There were no material changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Item 3:
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, general credit, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, liquidity, and interest rate risks, which may be exacerbated by a tight global credit market and increase in economic uncertainty that have affected various sectors of the financial market from time to time. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We may enter into financial instrument contracts to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on earnings and cash flows. The counterparties to such contracts are major financial institutions.
Europe represents a significant portion of our revenue and cash flows. Since Europe is composed of varied countries and regional economies, our European risk profile is somewhat more diversified due to the varying economic conditions among the countries. Approximately 20% of our receivables were with European customers as of September 30, 2018. Of this amount, 11% of our European receivables (2% of consolidated receivables) were in the higher risk southern European countries (mostly Italy, Spain, and Portugal), which management believes are adequately reserved.
Marketable Securities
We maintain an investment portfolio of short-term fixed income debt securities of various holdings, types, and maturities. These short-term investments are generally classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of AOCI. We attempt to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by investing in securities with maturities of less than three years; however, we may be unable to successfully limit our risk to interest rate fluctuations. At any time, a sharp change in interest rates could have a material impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Increases or decreases in interest rates could also have a material impact on future interest income related to new investments. We do not currently hedge these interest rate exposures.

We have no European sovereign debt investments. Our European debt and investments consisted of non-sovereign corporate debt securities of $4.5 million, which represented 9% of our corporate debt instruments (4% of our short-term investments) as of September 30, 2018. European debt investments are with corporations domiciled in the northern and central European countries of Sweden, Netherlands, and France. We believe that we do not have significant exposure with respect to our money market and corporate debt investments in Europe.
As of September 30, 2018, we have $345 million principal amount of Notes outstanding. We carry these instruments at face value less unamortized discount on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Since these instruments bear interest at fixed rates, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. Although the fair value of these instruments fluctuates when interest rates change, the market value of our Notes is also influenced by the conversion premium. Please refer to Note 7Fair Value Measurements and Note 9Convertible Senior Notes of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A large portion of our business is conducted in countries other than the U.S. We are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates for the Euro, British pound sterling, Indian rupee, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Israeli shekel, and Australian dollar. Although the majority of our receivables are invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars, we have exposure from non-U.S. dollar-denominated sales (consisting of the Euro, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Israeli shekel, Australian dollar, and Canadian dollar) and operating expenses (primarily the Euro, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Israeli shekel, Japanese yen, Indian rupee, and Australian dollar) in foreign countries. Accordingly, we can benefit from a stronger U.S. dollar due to the corresponding reduction in our foreign operating expenses translated in U.S. dollars and at the same time we can be adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar due to the corresponding reduction in foreign revenue translated in U.S. dollars.
We hedge balance sheet remeasurement exposures using forward contracts not designated for hedge accounting treatment with notional amounts of $209.9 million as of September 30, 2018. Please refer to Note 8Derivatives and Hedging of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
The impact of hypothetical changes in foreign exchanges rates on revenue and income from operations are presented below.

Item 4:
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s 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.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, the end of the period covered by this interim report.

50


Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018, due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of our 2017 Form 10-K, management performed its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of that date was not effective because of the material weaknesses described below.
Our management determined that, as of December 31, 2017, the following material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting.
1.
Our internal controls were not designed effectively to ensure that operational changes, which may impact revenue recognition, were appropriately and timely evaluated to determine the accounting impact.
2.
We did not sufficiently staff, with appropriate levels of experience and training, to allow for the adequate monitoring and timely communication of operational changes, including those which may impact revenue recognition on an ongoing basis.
3.
Our internal control over excess and obsolete finished goods printer inventory reserves at our Italian manufacturing subsidiary was not designed effectively to conduct a sufficiently precise evaluation of the classification, condition, and saleability of each printer and the cost accounting department was not staffed sufficiently to mitigate limitations relating to these reserves in the ERP system used solely at this subsidiary.
Items #1 and #2 resulted in management not timely identifying and evaluating the appropriate period of recognition for certain revenue transactions related to printers distributed from a single location, which should have been evaluated in accordance with the bill and hold revenue recognition guidance. Item #3 resulted in management not timely evaluating the appropriate period of de-recognition of certain printer inventory manufactured at our Italian manufacturing subsidiary, which should have been subject to an excess and obsolescence impairment or reclassification and depreciation.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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 in a timely basis. Because the deficiencies identified could result in a misstatement of revenue, inventory, and related accounts and associated disclosures that could be material to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements, such deficiencies represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018 was not effective due to the material weaknesses described above.
Material Weakness Discussion and Remediation
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we concluded that our previously issued consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in our filings fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented. The foregoing has been approved by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who have been involved with the reassessment and analysis of our internal control over financial reporting.
The material weaknesses did not result in a material misstatement in the financial statements included in our 2017 Form 10-K, or previously issued financial statements; however, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, there was a reasonable possibility that material misstatements could occur in the consolidated financial statements.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses
Following the identification of the foregoing material weaknesses, management commenced implementation of a remediation plan, which is ongoing. Management believes that the plan, once complete, will remediate the material weaknesses described above. The following steps of the remediation plan are currently in process, and management may determine to enhance existing controls and/or implement additional controls as the implementation progresses:
Design and implement controls to properly identify, evaluate, and monitor operational changes, which may impact revenue recognition;
Evaluate the sufficiency, experience, and training of our internal personnel and hire additional personnel or use external resources;
Design and implement controls related to the approval and accounting for any bill and hold transactions;

51


Design and implement controls to evaluate excess and obsolete inventory reserves at our Italian subsidiary; and
Direct our internal auditors to perform additional testing of revenue transactions to ensure the sufficiency of our remediation efforts.
We are in the process of further reviewing, documenting, and testing our internal controls over financial reporting, and we may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing existing controls and/or implementing additional controls. Because the implementation of our remediation plan was ongoing as of September 30, 2018, management concluded that the material weaknesses described in our 2017 Form 10-K, remained unremediated as of September 30, 2018.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of 2018. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II     OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1:
Legal Proceedings
We may be involved, from time to time, in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, or proceedings relating to contractual disputes, securities laws, intellectual property rights, employment, or other matters that may arise in the normal course of business. We assess our potential liability in each of these matters by using the information available to us. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. We accrue estimated losses from contingencies if a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated.
For a description of our significant pending legal proceedings, please see Note 10Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 1A:
Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, and Part II, Items 7 and 7A, of the 2017 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in the 2017 Form 10-K and below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

In addition to the risk factors disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K, we have identified the following material changes to our risk factors.

We may experience a potential impact to our business from the transition of our Chief Executive Officer.

We recently announced that William Muir was appointed CEO of the Company effective October 15, 2018. Guy Gecht, who had served as our CEO since January 2000, stepped down as our CEO effective on that date. Mr. Gecht and our other senior executives have been instrumental in setting our strategic direction, operating business, identifying, recruiting and training key personnel and identifying business opportunities, and our business depends on the efforts, abilities and expertise of these senior executives, including the CEO.  We cannot assure you that our business will not experience a potential impact from Mr. Gecht’s departure and transition to our new CEO Mr. Muir, especially since Mr. Gecht had directed the operations of our business for approximately 18 years.
