The Company’s pay-for-performance model allows its clients to pay for the services through either flat-rate or variable commissions based on the revenue generated by the Company on their behalf. Fixed-fee arrangements are typically used in quick deployments to address discrete target areas of our clients’ needs. The Company also earns revenue through its professional services teams, who assist clients with data optimization. The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Denver, Colorado. The Company has additional U.S. offices in California and Tennessee, and international offices in Bulgaria, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the information required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017 has been derived from the Company’s audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2018. In the opinion of management, these Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in our annual report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of ServiceSource International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") that modifies existing accounting standards for lease accounting. The new standard requires a lessee to record a lease asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases in which the Company is the lessee will generally be accounted for as operating leases and we will record a lease asset and a lease liability. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company will adopt the standard January 1, 2019 and expects to elect the package of practical expedients, accounting for leases with contractual terms less than 12 months as short-term leases and the transition relief option to apply legacy GAAP to periods prior to the standard’s effective date. Based on current analysis, the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and will not have a material impact to our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued an ASU that allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company.
New Accounting Standards Adopted
Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that requires companies to combine restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 and the effects of this standard were applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented within these Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result, we include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the effect of the change in accounting principle was an increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.2 million, on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers" which amended the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605 (“ASC 605” or “legacy GAAP") and created Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606"). Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in amounts that reflect the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 also specifies the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and the costs of fulfilling a contract with a customer (if those costs are not within the scope of another Topic or Sub-Topic) should be deferred and recognized over the appropriate period of contract performance if they are expected to be recovered. In addition, ASC 606 requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The most significant impact to the Company's financial position and results of operations is the timing of expense recognition for certain sales commissions and to a lesser extent, the timing of revenue recognition for certain contracts that include certain performance-based fees. See Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies below for additional information regarding the application of this new standard and its impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach, or the cumulative catch-up transition method and applied ASC 606 to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. The initial adoption impact to the Company’s financial position was not material. Under the transition guidance, the Company recorded a $3.3 million contract acquisition asset and corresponding offset to the opening accumulated deficit balance related to previously expensed sales commissions. The $3.3 million asset will be expensed over the next four years as follows: $1.5 million in 2018, $0.9 million in 2019, $0.6 million in 2020, and $0.3 million in 2021. Additionally, the Company recorded a $0.4 million net contract asset and corresponding offset to the opening accumulated deficit balance related to previously unrecognized revenue under legacy GAAP which would have been recognized in periods prior to 2018 under ASC 606.

New Accounting Policies upon Adoption of ASC 606
Revenue Recognition
The Company provides a comprehensive suite of selling and professional services to its clients. Selling services involves three categories of selling motions: recurring revenue management, customer success activities and inside sales efforts. Recurring revenue management includes hardware and software maintenance contract renewals, subscription renewals and extensions, asset and contract opportunity management, and sales enablement and quoting solutions. Customer success activities include onboarding, product adoption, health checks, account management and certain service support. Inside sales efforts include lead generation and conversion, cross-sell and upsell activities, technology refresh, warranty conversion, win-backs and recaptures, cloud migration, and client and asset management. Professional services involves providing data integration at scale with our systems and processes, combined with client data enhancement, enablement and optimization.
The Company derives all of its revenue from contracts with clients. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract. The Company’s contracts generally contain two distinct performance obligations that are sold on a variable and/or fixed consideration basis. These two distinct performance obligations are identified as selling services and professional services. The length of a selling services contract is generally 2-3 years, while professional services performance obligations are generally fulfilled within 90 days. The Company generally invoices its clients for services on a monthly or quarterly basis with 30-day payment terms. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies the performance obligations identified in the contract, which is achieved through the transfer of control of the services to the client.
The Company accounts for individual services within a single contract separately if they are distinct. A service is distinct if it is separately identifiable from other services in the contract and if a client can benefit from the service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the client. The total contract consideration, or transaction price, is allocated between the separate services identified in the contract based on their stand-alone selling price ("SSP"). SSP is determined based on a cost plus margin analysis for selling services and a standard hourly rate card for professional services. For professional services that are contractually priced differently from SSP, the Company estimates the SSP using a standard hourly rate card and allocates a portion of the total contract consideration to reflect professional services revenue at SSP.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time and revenue is recognized based on monthly or quarterly time increments and the variable volume of closed bookings during the period at the contractual commission rates for selling services, or proportional performance during the period at the SSP for professional services. Because the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the Company’s selling and professional services as provided, the time increment output method depicts the measure of progress in transferring control of the services to the client.
While multiple selling motions in a contract are performed at various times and patterns throughout the month or quarter and the number of closed bookings vary in any given period, each time increment of a service activity is substantially the same and has the same pattern of transfer to the client, and therefore, represents a series of distinct performance obligations that form a single performance obligation. As a result, the Company allocates all variable consideration in a contract to the selling services performance obligation in accordance with the variable consideration allocation exception provisions in ASC 606 (less amounts for which it is probable a significant reversal of revenue will occur when the uncertainties related to the variability are resolved) and applies a single measure of progress to record revenue in the period based on when the output of the variable number of closed bookings occurs or when the variable performance metric is achieved. The Company also applies the optional disclosure exemptions related to variable consideration and the requirement to disclose the remaining transaction price allocated to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation.
Contract Acquisition Costs
To obtain contracts with clients, the Company pays its sales team commissions based in part on the estimated value of the contract. Because these sales commissions are incurred and paid upon contract execution and would not have been incurred or payable otherwise, they are considered incremental costs to acquire the contract; and if expected to be recoverable, are capitalized as contract acquisition costs in the period the contract is executed. Capitalized sales commissions are amortized to sales and marketing expense based on the pattern of transfer of services to which the asset relates over the estimated contract term, generally 2-3 years for a new client or 5 years for long-standing client relationships. The contract acquisition costs asset is evaluated for recoverability and impairment at each reporting period through the amortization period. The Company does not capitalize incremental acquisition costs for contracts if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less.
Significant Estimates and Judgments
Significant estimates and judgments for revenue recognition and contract acquisition cost capitalization include: identifying and determining distinct performance obligations in contracts with clients, determining the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, estimating the timing and amount of variable consideration in a contract and assessing whether it should be constrained in determining the total contract consideration, determining SSP for each performance obligations and the methodology to allocate the total contract consideration to the distinct performance obligations.

Table of Contents

Our revenue contracts often include promises to transfer services involving multiple selling motions to a client. Determining whether those services are considered distinct performance obligations and qualify as a series of distinct performance obligations that represent a single performance obligation requires significant judgment. Also, due to the continuous nature of providing services to our clients, judgment is required in determining when control of the services is transferred to the client.
A significant portion of our contracts is based on a pay-for-performance model that provides the Company with commissions and revenue based on a volume of closed bookings each time period and variable consideration if certain performance targets are achieved during a given period of time (such as exceeding quarterly closure rate thresholds or achieving absolute dollar volume sales targets). Significant judgment is required to determine if this type of variable consideration should be constrained, and to what extent, until the risk of a significant revenue reversal is not probable.
We also enter into contracts with multiple performance obligations that incorporate fixed consideration, pay-for-performance commissions and variable bonus commissions. Judgment is required to estimate the amount of variable consideration to include when estimating the total contract consideration and how to allocate the consideration if one of the distinct performance obligations is not sold at SSP.
Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to the opening accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2018. As a result, the comparative information throughout these financial statements has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under legacy GAAP as disclosed in our 2017 annual report on Form 10-K. As described above, the Company changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition and certain sales commissions. The qualitative and the quantitative impact of adopting ASC 606 is presented below.
Selling Services
The Company historically recognized all performance based fees in the period when the specific performance criteria was achieved. Under ASC 606, in certain circumstances the Company estimates the variable fees for which it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur and recognizes these estimated variable fees over the estimated contract life. For certain contracts, this could result in the recognition of the performance-based fees sooner than under ASC 605.
Professional Services
Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognized revenue from professional services at the best estimated selling price upon client acceptance at the end of the implementation or data integration event due to the short-term nature of the services, generally 90 days from the start of the services. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue at SSP over time as control of the service is transferred to the client, resulting in the recognition of professional services fees sooner than under ASC 605.
Sales Commissions
The Company previously recognized a portion of certain sales commissions as sales and marketing expense when it was earned by the employee upon obtaining and executing a contract. Under ASC 606, the Company capitalizes this portion of certain sales commissions as contract acquisition costs and amortizes the amount ratably over the contract term for new clients or the estimated life of the client for long-standing client relationships. As a result, sales and marketing expense is recognized later and over a longer period of time than under ASC 605.

Note 3 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Short-term investments consist of readily marketable debt securities with a remaining maturity of more than three months from the time of purchase. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and short-term investments as “available for sale,” as these investments are free of trading restrictions and are available for use in the Company's daily operations. These marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses are recognized when realized. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. The Company recognized realized gains of $28,000 and losses of $0.2 million from the sale of available-for-sale securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. No realized gains or losses were recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The Company recognized realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $28,000 and $53,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $36,000 and $53,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded in "Other, net" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities, and its investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The policy generally requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, changes in market interest rates and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more-likely-than-not it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. The Company liquidated its investment securities during 2018 to repay the $150.0 million convertible notes that matured August 1, 2018. Based on our decision to sell these investment securities, we determined an other-than-temporary impairment occurred and a $2.0 million impairment loss was recorded in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Revolving Line of Credit
During July 2018, the Company entered into a $40.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit (the “revolver”) that allows us to borrow against our domestic receivables as defined in the credit agreement. The revolver matures July 2021 and bears interest at a variable rate per annum based on the greater of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, a margin of 1.00% for base rate borrowings or 2.00% for Eurodollar borrowings. As of September 30, 2018, we had $32.0 million outstanding on our revolver.
The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the borrowers and certain of their subsidiaries, including pledges of equity in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The revolver has covenants with which we are in compliance as of September 30, 2018.
Debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements are presented as an asset regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line of credit arrangement. Deferred loan costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. Deferred loan costs on the revolver was approximately $0.2 million as of September 30, 2018.
During October 2018, the Company repaid the $32.0 million outstanding on the revolver using cash on hand.

Letter of Credit
On February 3, 2015, the Company issued a $1.2 million letter of credit in connection with a lease for a San Francisco office facility. The letter of credit is secured by $1.2 million of cash in a money market account which is classified as restricted cash in "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business, including the cases discussed below.  Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company is currently not aware of any litigation or threats of litigation in which the final outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial position or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. The Company records a contingent liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable in accordance with accounting for contingencies. As of September 30, 2018, the Company accrued a $3.75 million reserve relating to our potential liability for currently pending disputes, reflected in "Other current liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On August 23, 2016, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee granted conditional class certification in a lawsuit originally filed on September 21, 2015 by three former senior sales representatives. The lawsuit, Sarah Patton, et al v. ServiceSource Delaware, Inc., asserts a claim under the Fair Labor Standards Act alleging that certain non-exempt employees in our Nashville location were not paid for all hours worked and were not properly paid for overtime hours worked.  The complaint also asserts claims under Tennessee state law for breach of contract and unjust enrichment; and on September 28, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a motion to certify the state law breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims as a class action. The Company will continue to seek to conclude this lawsuit in a manner that is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

Contract Balances
Once the Company obtains a client contract, the timing of satisfying performance obligations and the receipt of client consideration can be different and will give rise to contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets relate to the Company’s conditional rights to consideration for services provided but not yet billable at the reporting date. Accounts receivable balances reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018 represent the Company’s unconditional rights to consideration for services provided. Contract asset amounts are transferred to accounts receivables when the rights become unconditional, typically in the same period control of services is transferred to the client and the amount is contractually billable. Contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from clients for fixed consideration contracts where transfer of control of the services has not yet occurred. Contract liability balances generally convert to revenue upon either the satisfaction of professional services obligations or when services under fixed consideration contracts are transferred to the client, typically within six months of being recorded. The contract asset and liability balances as of September 30, 2018 totaled $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and are not considered material for further disclosure. These contract balances are reflected in "Prepaid expenses and other", "Other current liabilities" and "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company applies the optional disclosure exemption related to variable consideration and the requirement to disclose the remaining transaction price allocated to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. However, for contracts structured with fixed consideration, this optional disclosure is not available. The Company typically invoices selling services fixed consideration in monthly or quarterly installments over the contract term, which is typically 12 months or less. Contracts with fixed consideration are generally with long-standing client relationships and typically renew annually. Assuming none of the Company’s current contracts with fixed consideration are renewed, we estimate receiving approximately $47.7 million in future selling services fixed consideration as of September 30, 2018. Professional services revenues from fixed consideration are based on proportional performance which is typically concluded within 90 days of contract execution. The Company typically bills professional services upfront upon obtaining a client contract. As of September 30, 2018, we estimate $0.4 million in professional services fixed consideration revenue to be recognized through the remainder of 2018.
Contract Acquisition Costs
Certain commissions paid to the Company's sales team upon obtaining a client contract are incremental and recoverable, and capitalized as contract acquisition costs. Under the transition guidance, the Company recorded a $3.3 million contract acquisition asset and corresponding offset to the opening accumulated deficit balance related to previously expensed sales commissions. The $3.3 million contract acquisition asset will be expensed over the next four years as follows: $1.5 million in 2018, $0.9 million in 2019, $0.6 million in 2020, and $0.3 million in 2021. The Company recorded $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to amounts capitalized upon the adoption of ASC 606.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company capitalized an additional $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of sales commissions as contract acquisition costs related to contracts obtained during the period. The Company recorded $0.1 million of amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to amounts capitalized in 2018. The weighted average remaining amortization period related to these capitalized costs was approximately 2 years.
The Company's impairment recognized on the contract costs was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Contract acquisition costs amortization is included in "Sales and marketing" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Applying the practical expedient for amortization periods one year or less, the Company recognizes any incremental costs of obtaining contracts as expense when the cost is incurred. These costs are included in "Sales and marketing" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 8 — Stockholders' Equity
2018 PSU Awards
During March 2018, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock unit awards under the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan to certain key executives (the “2018 PSU Awards”). For each 2018 PSU Award, a number of restricted stock units became eligible to vest based on the levels of achievement of the performance-based conditions, and those restricted stock units that became eligible to vest will vest 50% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date, except as otherwise provided under certain termination and change-in-control provisions in each award agreement. The aggregate target number of restricted stock units subject to the 2018 PSU Awards was 1.0 million, with an aggregate grant date fair value of $3.9 million.

20

Table of Contents

The performance-based conditions are based upon the Company’s revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance in 2018 against the target goals for such metrics under the Company’s 2018 corporate incentive plan (in each case, “Performance Achievement”), which will each be determined on the date the Company files its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The target number of restricted stock units for each 2018 PSU Award will be divided equally between the two performance metrics. For each performance metric, the number of restricted stock units that become eligible to vest will be: (i) if the applicable Performance Achievement is less than 95.10% of the target revenue goal or less than 70.59% of the target EBITDA goal, no restricted stock units for such performance metric, (ii) if the applicable Performance Achievement is equal to 95.10% of the target revenue goal or 70.95% of the target EBITDA goal, 50% of the target number of restricted stock units for such performance metric, (iii) if the applicable Performance Achievement is equal to 100% of the target revenue and EBITDA goals, 100% of the target number of restricted stock units for such performance metric, or (iv) if the applicable Performance Achievement is at least 103.40% of the target revenue goal or 163.03% of the target EBITDA goal, 150% of the target number of restricted stock units for such performance metric. For each performance metric, if the applicable Performance Achievement falls between any of the thresholds (ii), (iii), and (iv) specified in the previous sentence, the number of restricted stock units that become eligible to vest for such performance metric will be determined via linear interpolation.

(1) 2,081 shares of common stock were issued for restricted stock units vested and the remaining 219 shares were withheld for taxes.
Potential shares of common stock that are not included in the determination of diluted net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive for the periods presented consist of stock options, unvested restricted stock and shares to be purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company excluded from diluted earnings per share the weighted-average common share equivalents related to 7.3 million and 7.0 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 6.7 million and 5.8 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 9 — Income Taxes
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax. The Company computes its quarterly income tax provision by using a forecasted annual effective tax rate and adjusts for any discrete items arising during the quarter. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate relates to the valuation allowances on the Company’s net operating losses and foreign tax rate differences. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.1 million and expense of $0.3 million, respectively. These amounts primarily consist of income and withholding taxes for foreign and state jurisdictions where the Company has profitable operations, as well as valuation allowance adjustments for certain U.S. tax jurisdictions. No tax benefit was provided for losses incurred in the U.S., Ireland and Singapore because those losses are offset by a full valuation allowance. The tax years 2010 through 2018 remain subject to examination by federal, state and foreign tax authorities.
The gross amount of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits was $0.9 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, none of which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.
FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118" to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the "Act"). 
At September 30, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for all of the tax effects of the Act and has not made an adjustment to the provisional tax benefit recorded under SAB 118 at December 31, 2017. We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing. Our estimated annual effective tax rate may be adjusted in subsequent interim periods, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, and additional regulatory guidance that may be issued.

Note 10 — Restructuring and Other
In early May 2017, the Company announced a restructuring effort to better align its cost structure with current business and market conditions, including a headcount reduction and the reduction of office space in four locations. The restructuring plan is accounted for in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The Company recognized restructuring and other charges of $0.0 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.5 million and $6.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
Severance and other employee costs include severance payments, related employee benefits and employee-related legal fees. Lease and other contract termination costs include charges related to lease consolidation and abandonment of spaces no longer utilized and the cancellation of certain contracts with outside vendors. The Company does not expect to incur additional restructuring charges as of September 30, 2018. Future cash outlays related to restructuring activities are expected to total approximately $1.1 million. These amounts are reported in "Accrued expenses", and "Other long-term liabilities" in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018.

Note 11 — Subsequent Events
GAAP requires an entity to disclose events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (“subsequent events”) as well as the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. There are two types of subsequent events. The first type consists of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements (“recognized subsequent events”). The second type consists of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date (“nonrecognized subsequent events”). No significant recognized or nonrecognized subsequent events were noted other than those mentioned in “Note 5 - Debt."

Basis of Presentation
Net Revenue
Substantially all of our net revenue is attributable to commissions we earn from the sale of renewals of maintenance, support and subscription agreements on behalf of our clients. We generally invoice our clients for our selling services on a monthly basis for sales commissions and on a quarterly basis for certain performance sales commissions. We do not set the price, terms or scope of services in the service contracts with end customers and do not have any obligations related to the underlying service contracts between our clients and their end customers. We also generate revenues from selling professional services. Professional services involves providing data integration at scale with our systems and processes, combined with client data enhancement, enablement and optimization. We typically invoice our clients for professional services on a monthly basis.
Historically, we earned revenue from the sale of subscriptions to our cloud-based applications. To date, subscription revenue is a small percentage of our total revenue. We terminated most of our subscription contracts and revenues generated from subscriptions was insignificant in 2018.
We generate a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of clients. Our top ten clients accounted for 68% of our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The loss of revenue from any of our top clients for any reason, including the failure to renew our contracts, termination of some or all of our services, or a change of relationship with any of our key clients or their acquisition, can cause a significant decrease in our revenue.
Our business is geographically diversified. Through the first nine months of 2018, 60% of our net revenue was earned in North America and Latin America (“NALA”), 25% in Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and 15% in Asia Pacific Japan (“APJ”). Net revenue for a particular geography generally reflects commissions earned from sales of service contracts managed from our revenue delivery center in that geography. Predominantly all of the service contracts sold and managed by our revenue delivery centers relate to end customers located in the same geography. In addition, our Kuala Lumpur location is a revenue delivery center where we have centralized, for our worldwide operations, the key contract renewal processes that do not require regional expertise, such as client data management and quoting.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Our cost of revenue includes employee compensation, technology costs, including those related to the delivery of our cloud-based technologies, and allocated overhead costs. Employee compensation includes salary, bonus, benefits and stock-based compensation for our dedicated service sales teams. Our allocated overhead includes costs for facilities, information technology and depreciation, including amortization of internal-use software associated with our selling services revenue technology platform and cloud applications. Allocated costs for facilities consist of rent, maintenance and compensation of personnel in our facilities departments. Our allocated costs for information technology include costs associated with third-party data centers where we maintain our data servers, compensation of our information technology personnel and the cost of support and maintenance contracts associated with computer hardware and software. To the extent our client base or business with our existing client base expands, we may need to hire additional service sales personnel and invest in infrastructure to support such growth. Our cost of revenue may fluctuate significantly and increase or decrease on an absolute basis and as a percentage of revenue in the near term, including for the reasons discussed under, “Factors Affecting Our Performance-Implementation Cycle” in our 2017 annual report on Form 10-K.
Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses are a significant component of our operating costs and consist primarily of compensation expenses and sales commissions for our sales and marketing staff, amortization of contract acquisition costs, allocated expenses

24

Table of Contents

and marketing programs and events. We sell our solutions through our global sales organization, which is organized across three geographic regions: NALA, EMEA and APJ. Our commission plans generally provide multiple payments of commissions to our sales representatives based in part on the execution of a client contract and then on a percentage of revenue recorded during the first 18 to 21 months of the contract term. Commissions paid as a percentage of recorded revenue is contingent on the sales representatives' continued employment. We generally capitalize the amounts payable upon contract execution and amortize ratably to sales and marketing expense over the estimated contract term for new clients or estimated life of the client for long-stand client relationships. Revenue based commissions are expensed to sales and marketing expense each quarter as revenue is recorded.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expense, allocated costs and the cost of third-party service providers. We focus our research and development efforts on developing new products and applications related to our technology platform. We capitalize certain expenditures related to the development and enhancement of internal-use software related to our technology platform.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation expense for our executive, human resources, finance and legal functions and related expenses for professional fees for accounting, tax and legal services, as well as allocated expenses, which consist of depreciation, amortization of internally developed software, facility and technology costs.
Restructuring and Other
Restructuring and other expenses consist primarily of employees’ severance payments and related employee benefits, stock-based compensation related to the accelerated vesting of certain equity awards, related legal fees, asset impairment charges and charges related to leases and other contract termination costs.
Interest Expense, Other, Net and Impairment Loss on Investment Securities
Interest expense
Interest expense consists of interest expense associated with our convertible notes and revolver, imputed interest from capital lease payments, accretion of the debt discount and amortization of debt issuance costs. We recognize accretion of the debt discount and amortization of interest costs using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense in 2018 decreased due to the maturity and payoff of our $150.0 million convertible notes in August 2018.
Other, net
Other, net consists primarily of foreign exchange gains and losses and interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We expect Other, net to vary depending on the movement in foreign currency exchange rates and the related impact on our foreign exchange gains and losses and the return of interest income on our investments.
Impairment loss on investment securities
When evaluating debt security investments for impairment, we review factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, changes in market interest rates and our intent to sell, or whether it is more-likely-than-not we will be required to sell the investment before recovering the investment’s cost basis. We determined to liquidate the majority of our investment securities during the first half of 2018 to have sufficient cash on hand to repay our $150.0 million convertible notes due August 1, 2018. Based on our decision to sell these investment securities, we determined an other-than-temporary impairment occurred as of March 31, 2018. Consequently, a $2.0 million impairment loss was recorded in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The impairment loss represents the difference between the investment securities' amortized cost basis and fair value.
Provision for Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
We account for income taxes using an asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax basis and the financial reporting basis of our taxable subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
We evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis. This evaluation utilizes the framework contained in ASC 740, Income Taxes, wherein management analyzes all positive and negative evidence

25

Table of Contents

available at the balance sheet date to determine whether all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Under this guidance, a valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not (a probability level of more than 50 percent) that they will not be realized. In assessing the realization of our deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, and place significant emphasis on guidance contained in ASC 740, which states that “a cumulative loss in recent years is a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome.”
We account for unrecognized tax benefits using a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. We record an income tax liability, if any, for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax returns. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions change, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The reserves are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.

Net revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 due to unexpected client churn and softer end-user demand at several clients in 2018.
Cost of revenue decreased $0.9 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to the following:
$2.3 million decrease in amortization expense of internally developed software and intangible assets fully depreciated as of January 2018; partially offset by

$1.4 million increase in employee costs related to new clients and expansion of business with existing clients resulting in an increase in headcount to lower cost locations.

Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense increased $0.8 million, or 10%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to the following:
$0.6 million increase in employee related costs driven by increased headcount; partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation driven by lower revenue attainment; and
$0.4 million increase in contract acquisition costs due to the adoption of ASC 606, see Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information; partially offset by
$0.2 million decrease in marketing costs due to re-branding and website updates during 2017 with minimal costs during 2018.
Research and Development
Research and development expense increased $0.3 million, or 33%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in IT costs, temporary labor and consulting costs, related to migrating customers from our Renew OnDemand platform to PRISM.
Internal-use software development capitalization remained consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to the migration from our Renew OnDemand platform to PRISM beginning in 2017. We expect to continue to invest in our technology platforms to support our service offerings and thus capitalizing internal-use software costs in the future. However, the amount capitalized will depend on the future level of expenditures on our technology platforms.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.3 million. The tax expense resulted primarily from profitable jurisdictions where no valuation allowance has been provided. Income tax expense increased $67,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, due to an increase in profitable operations in certain U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
As of September 30, 2018, we recorded a full valuation allowance on our state deferred tax assets. No benefit was provided for losses incurred in U.S., Ireland and Singapore because those losses are offset by a full valuation allowance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary operating cash requirements include the payment of employee compensation and related costs and costs for our facilities and information technology infrastructure. Historically, we have financed our operations from cash provided by our operating activities, proceeds from common stock offerings and cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over the next twelve months.
As of September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $63.5 million, which primarily consisted of demand deposits and money market mutual funds. Included in cash and cash equivalents was $8.5 million held by our foreign subsidiaries used to satisfy their operating requirements. We consider the undistributed earnings of ServiceSource Europe Ltd. and ServiceSource International Singapore Pte. Ltd. permanently reinvested in foreign operations and have not provided for U.S. income taxes on such earnings. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no unremitted earnings from our foreign subsidiaries.
In August 2013, the Company issued senior convertible notes (the "Notes") in exchange for gross proceeds of $150.0 million. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1, beginning February 1, 2014. On August 1, 2018, the Company paid in full the $150.0 million Notes using proceeds from its short-term investments and operations.
During July 2018, the Company entered into a $40.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit (the “revolver”) that allows us to borrow against our domestic receivables as defined in the credit agreement. The revolver matures July 2021 and bears interest at a variable rate per annum based on the greater of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, a margin of 1.00% for base rate borrowings or 2.00% for Eurodollar borrowings.
As of September 30, 2018, we had $32.0 million outstanding on our revolver. Proceeds from the credit facility are used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the borrowers and certain of their subsidiaries, including pledges of equity in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The revolver has covenants with which we are in compliance as of September 30, 2018.
During October 2018, the Company repaid the $32.0 million outstanding on the revolver using cash on hand.
Letter of Credit and Restricted Cash
On February 3, 2015, we issued a $1.2 million letter of credit in connection with a lease for a San Francisco office facility. The letter of credit is secured by $1.2 million of cash in a money market account which is classified as restricted cash in "Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of $5.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily the result of $30.9 million of non-cash adjustments of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment of our investment securities, partially offset by our net loss of $27.2 million and a $1.5 million change in operating assets and liabilities. The $1.5 million net change in operating assets and liabilities consisted of cash used in operations from a $2.2 million decrease in accounts payable, a $3.0 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily due to payment of bonuses and other employee benefits offset by increase in estimated legal reserves, a $0.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets primarily due to the increase in contract assets and contract acquisition costs as a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard as of January 1, 2018, partially offset by a $7.3 million decrease in accounts receivable, primarily reflective of increased collections during the period.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $6.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of $37.0 million of non-cash adjustments of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and restructuring costs and a $1.5 million net change in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by our net loss of $29.9 million and a $2.1 million gain on the sale of our cost base equity investment. The $1.5 million net change in operating assets and liabilities consisted of cash provided by operations from a $12.3 million decrease in accounts receivable, primarily reflective of an increase in collections and a decrease of days outstanding, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in accounts payable, a $7.9 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, primarily due to payment of bonuses, and other employee benefits, and a $2.4 million decrease in deferred revenue.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities increased $138.9 million to $125.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to cash used in investing activities of $13.7 million during the same period in 2017, primarily due to the following activities:
$83.5 million increase in cash inflows from the sale and maturity of short-term investments;
$56.1 million decrease in cash outflows related to the purchase of short-term investments during 2017; and
$1.4 million decrease in cash outflows related to the acquisition of property and equipment, which includes $1.0 million of decreased internally developed software costs; partially offset by
$2.1 million in proceeds received during 2017 from the sale of our equity investment in a private company.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased $118.8 million to $118.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0.3 million of cash provided by financing activities during the same period in 2017, primarily due to the following activities:
$150.0 million net increase in cash outflows due to repayment of the convertible notes on August 1, 2018;
$0.2 million increase in cash outflows due to repayment of capital lease obligations;
$0.2 million increase in cash outflows due to debt issuance costs incurred on the revolver; and
$0.3 million decrease in cash inflows due to proceeds of approximately $1.1 million from the exercise of stock options and the employee purchase plan during 2017 compared to proceeds of approximately $0.8 million from the exercise of stock options and the employee purchase plan during 2018; partially offset by
$32.0 million increase in cash inflows from proceeds withdrawn on the revolver.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we did not have any relationships with other entities or financial partnerships such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special-purpose entities, which have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

(1)In January 2018, the Company entered into a sublease with a third-party for our San Francisco office space for the remaining term of the lease. The future minimum payments through November 30, 2022 under the original lease total approximately $8.0 million and future sublease rental income totals approximately $8.1 million over the same period.
(2)Excluded from the table is the income tax liability we recorded for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax returns. As of September 30, 2018, our liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $0.9 million. Reasonably reliable estimate of the amounts and periods of related future payments cannot be made at this time.
The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding, which specify significant terms, included payment terms, related services and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contracts that we may cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the above table.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different or different assumptions were made, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, resulting in different financial results or a different presentation of our financial statements.  Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are based on historical experiences that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  From time to time, we re-evaluate those estimates and assumptions.
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." These policies were followed in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and are consistent with the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the new accounting policies related to the adoption and application of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606") as of January 1, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The information contained in Note 2 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 under the heading, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
ServiceSource believes net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate financial measure of our operating performance; however, ServiceSource considers adjusted EBITDA to be a useful supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance. We believe adjusted EBITDA can assist investors in understanding and assessing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of the Company's capital structure and other non-cash or non-recurring items from operating results and provides an additional tool to compare ServiceSource's financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense and other income/(expense), and income tax benefit (expense). Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus non-cash stock-based compensation expense, amortization of contract acquisition costs related to the initial adoption of ASC 606, restructuring and other related costs, gain on cost basis equity investment, litigation reserve and impairment loss on investment securities.
This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rate risk
The revolver bears interest at a per annum rate based on the greater of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, a margin of 1.00% for base rate borrowings and 2.00% for Eurodollar borrowings. As of September 30, 2018, there was $32.0 million outstanding under the revolver. The Company incurred nominal interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to the revolver. Our overall interest rate sensitivity is influenced by any amounts borrowed on our revolver and rate fluctuations. The effective interest rate on our revolver was 6.25% as of September 30, 2018. Accordingly, we may incur additional expense if interest rates increase in future periods. A one-percent increase in the effective interest rate as of September 30, 2018 would result in a nominal amount of additional interest expense.
We believe there have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures associated with foreign currency risk and inflation risk for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared with those discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”).
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Table of Contents

Based on management’s evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, and are effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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 disclosures.
(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
