2.Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2016 and the results of operations, equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Envestnet and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounts denominated in a non-U.S. currency have been re-measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016.

 

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to estimating uncollectible receivables, revenue recognition, costs capitalized for internally developed software, valuations and assumptions used for impairment testing of goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, fair value of stock and stock options issued, fair value of contingent consideration, realization of deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions and assumptions used to allocate purchase prices in business combinations. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

ERS Update - During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company acquired additional units in ERS related to the exercise of a put option on units held by the former owners of Klein Decisions, Inc. As of March 31, 2016, the Company’s ownership interest in ERS is 65.4%.

 

Share repurchase program - February 25, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. The timing and volume of share repurchases will be determined by the Company's management based on its ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its common stock and general market conditions. No time limit has been set for the completion of the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The repurchase program authorizes the Company to purchase its common stock from time to time in the open market (including pursuant to a “Rule 10b5-1 plan”), in block transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated stock repurchase programs, through option or other forward transactions or otherwise, all in compliance with applicable laws and other restrictions.   As of March 31, 2016, 2,000,000 of shares could still be purchased under this program.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to customers.

 

The original effective date for ASU 2014-09 would have required the Company to adopt beginning in its first quarter of 2017. In July 2015, the FASB voted to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, the Company may adopt the standard in either its first quarter of 2017 or 2018. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which amends the consolidation requirements in ASC 810. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented as a reduction to the carrying amount of that debt liability, not as an asset. The Company adopted the guidance for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016 and resulted in decreases in current assets and current liabilities of $1,936 and decreases in non-current assets and non-current liabilities of $7,380 in the prior year.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. The updated guidance became effective under early adoption for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2015 and resulted in a reclassification of $4,654 from current deferred tax assets to non-current deferred tax assets in the prior year.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. This standard requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Entities were required to retrospectively apply adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to measurement period adjustments that occur after the effective date of the guidance with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. This update amends the requirements for assets and liabilities recognized for all leases longer than twelve months. Lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability measured on a discounted basis, which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of accounting for share-based payments; however, some changes may also increase volatility in reported earnings. Under the new guidance, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies will be recorded as an income tax benefit or expense in the income statement and excess tax benefits will be recorded as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also allows withholding up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate without classifying the awards as a liability. The cash paid to satisfy the statutory income tax withholding obligation is classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. Lastly, the update allows forfeitures to be estimated or recognized when they occur. The requirements for the excess tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement must be applied on a prospective basis, and the other requirements under this standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

 

3.Business Acquisitions

 

FinaConnect, Inc.

On February 1, 2016 Envestnet acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of FinaConnect, Inc. (“FinaConnect”).  FinaConnect is a software as a services (SaaS) platform that provides reporting and practice management capabilities to financial professional servicing the retirement plan market and is the technology platform supporting the ERS service offering.  FinaConnect is included in the Envestnet segment.

The Company acquired FinaConnect with plans to combine the FinaConnect assets with ERS.  In addition to adding the client list serviced directly by FinaConnect, the goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the advantage of ownership of the

technology powering the ERS solution, removal of ongoing licensing payments made to FinaConnect and the full integration of the knowledge and experience of the FinaConnect workforce. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

 

In connection with the acquisition of FinaConnect, the Company paid upfront cash consideration of $6,425 and Company is required to pay contingent consideration of four times the incremental revenue on a certain book of business for the next two years, not to exceed a total amount of $3,500.

 

The preliminary estimated consideration transferred in the acquisition was as follows:

 

The estimated fair values of certain working capital balances, contingent consideration, deferred revenue, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain internal valuations and are not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of contingent consideration, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes and intangible assets, and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable but no later than January 31, 2017.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

 

 

A summary of preliminary intangible assets acquired, estimated useful lives and amortization methods are as follows:

 

The results of FinaConnect’s operations are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations beginning February 1, 2016, and are not material to the Company’s results of operations.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, acquisition related costs for FinaConnect totaled $7 and are included in general and administration expenses. The Company may incur additional acquisition related costs during 2016.

 

Castle Rock Innovations, Inc.

On August 30, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Castle Rock Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Castle Rock”). Castle Rock provides data aggregation and plan benchmark solutions to retirement plan record-keepers, broker-dealers, and advisors.

The Company acquired Castle Rock with plans to combine the Castle Rock offering into ERS.  Castle Rock’s AXIS Retirement Plan Analytics Platform enables retirement plan fiduciaries to comply with 408(b)(2) and 404a-5 regulatory fee disclosure reporting requirements. The AXIS platform offers a single web-based interface and data repository to service the reporting needs of all types of retirement plans, and can be integrated with all record-keeping systems. AXIS also includes features for editing and generating reports for filings, reporting plan expenses, and comparing retirement plans and participants to those of their peers by industry, company size, and other characteristics. The goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the expected synergistic benefits of the transaction and the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The preliminary estimated consideration transferred in the acquisition was as follows:

 

In connection with the acquisition of Castle Rock, the Company is required to pay contingent consideration of 40% of the first annual post-closing period revenues minus $100, 35% of the second annual post-closing period revenue minus $100 and 30% of the third annual post-closing period revenue minus $100. The Company recorded a preliminary estimated liability as of the date of acquisition of $1,500, which represented the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on the date of acquisition and is considered a Level III fair value measurement as described in Note 8.

The preliminary estimated fair value of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2016 was $1,500. This amount is the present value of an undiscounted liability of $1,600, applying a discount rate of 2.7%, 3.0%, and 3.3% to the first, second, and third post-closing periods, respectively.  The first, second and third undiscounted payments are anticipated to be $714 on September 30, 2016, $603 on September 30, 2017, and $275 on September 30, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company made a fair market value upward adjustment on the contingent consideration of $200 and that adjustment is included in general and administration expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The estimated fair values of certain working capital balances, contingent consideration, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain valuation and other studies and are in progress and not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of contingent consideration, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes and intangible assets, and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable but no later than August 30, 2016.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

 

 

 

 

 

 

A summary of preliminary intangible assets acquired, estimated useful lives and amortization method is as follows:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, acquisition related costs for Castle Rock totaled $44, respectively, and are included in general and administration expenses. The Company may incur additional acquisition related costs during 2016.

 

 On September 1, 2015, ERS accepted the subscription of certain former owners of Castle Rock (the “Castle Rock Parties”) to purchase a 6.5% ownership interest of ERS for $900.  The Castle Rock Parties have the right to require ERS to repurchase units issued pursuant to the subscription in approximately 36 months after September 1, 2015 for the amount of $900.  This purchase obligation is guaranteed by the Company and is reflected outside of permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Subsequent to the subscription of the Castle Rock Parties, the Company’s ownership interest in ERS was 54.8%.

 

Yodlee, Inc.

 

On November 19, 2015, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated August 10, 2015, among Yodlee, the Company and Yale Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet, Merger Sub was merged (the “Merger”) with and into Yodlee with Yodlee continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet.

 

Yodlee, operating as Envestnet | Yodlee, is a leading data aggregation and data analytics platform powering dynamic, cloud-based innovation for digital financial services. Yodlee powers digital financial solutions for over 21 million paid subscribers and over 1,000 financial institutions, financial technology innovators and financial advisory firms. Founded in 1999, the company has built a network of over 14,500 data sources and been awarded 76 patents.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Yodlee stockholders received $11.51 in cash and 0.1889 of a share of Envestnet common stock per Yodlee share.  Based upon the volume weighted average price per share of Envestnet common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on (and including) November 17, 2015, the second trading day immediately prior to completion of the Merger, Yodlee stockholders received total consideration with a value of $17.49 per share.

Net cash consideration totaled approximately $375,658 and the Company issued approximately 5,974,000 shares of Envestnet common stock to Yodlee stockholders in the Merger.  Holders of 577,829 shares of Yodlee common stock exercised their statutory appraisal rights under Delaware law.  As of December 31, 2015 the Company recognized a liability in the amount of $10,061, which represented $17.49 in cash for each share of Yodlee common stock held by them.  Although the Company believed the fair value of these shares did not exceed the consideration paid in the Acquisition, nevertheless, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company settled the appraisal claim in order to avoid the costs, uncertainties, disruptions and distraction of potential litigation.  The difference between the liability as of December 31, 2015 and the settlement amount resulted in an increase to goodwill and total consideration paid.

The Company acquired Yodlee to enhance the Company’s wealth management solutions with a deeply integrated data aggregation capability, expand the Company’s addressable market by delivering the Company’s wealth management solutions to Yodlee’s clients and partners, and benefit from the revenue potential resulting from Yodlee’s fast growing data analytics solutions.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the expected synergistic benefits of the transaction, primarily related to an increase in future revenues as a result of potential cross selling opportunities and new lines of business, as well as lower future operating expenses.  The goodwill is also related to the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

 

The preliminary estimated consideration transferred in the acquisition was as follows:

In connection with the Yodlee merger, the Company issued 1,052,000 shares of Envestnet restricted stock awards (“replacement awards”) issued in connection with unvested Yodlee employee equity awards. The Yodlee unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units were canceled and exchanged for the replacement awards. In accordance with ASC 805, these awards are considered to be replacement awards. Exchanges of share options or other share-based payment awards in conjunction with a business combination are modifications of share-based payment awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718. As a result, a portion of the fair-value-based measure of Envestnet’s replacement awards are included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. To determine the portion of the replacement award that is part of consideration transferred to acquire Yodlee, we have measured both the replacement awards granted by Envestnet and the historical Yodlee awards as of November 19, 2015 in accordance with ASC 718. The portion of the fair-value-based measure of the replacement award that is part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the acquisition of Yodlee, equals the portion of the Yodlee award that is attributable to pre combination service. Envestnet is attributing a portion of the replacement awards to post combination service as these awards require post combination service. The fair value of the replacement awards was estimated to be $32,836 of which $4,318 was attributable to pre-acquisition services. The remaining fair value of $28,518 will be amortized over a period of 43 months subsequent to the acquisition date.

The estimated fair values of certain working capital balances, property and equipment, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, attribution of the fair market value of replacement awards, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain valuation and other studies and are in progress and not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of tangible assets and liabilities, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as practicable but no later than September 30, 2016.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

 

A preliminary summary of intangible assets acquired, estimated useful lives and amortization method is as follows:

The results of Envestnet | Yodlee’s operations are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations beginning November 20, 2015. Envestnet | Yodlee’s revenues and net loss for the period ended March 31, 2016 totaled $28,631 and $14,189, respectively. The net loss includes estimated acquired intangible asset amortization of $8,571.

For the period ended March 31, 2016, acquisition related costs for Yodlee totaled $1,265, and are included in general and administration expenses. The Company may incur additional acquisition related costs during 2016.

8.Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company follows ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

Financial assets and liabilities at fair value are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

 

 

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy.

 

 

 

Level I assets and liabilities included in the table above include money-market funds not insured by the FDIC.  The fair values of the Company’s investments in money-market funds are based on the daily quoted market prices for the net asset value of the various money market funds. The Company periodically invests excess cash in money-market funds not insured by the FDIC. The Company believes that the investments in money market funds are on deposit with creditworthy financial institutions and that the funds are highly liquid. These money-market funds are considered Level I and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Level II assets and liabilities included in the table above include unrealized gain or loss on forward currency contracts. The forward currency contracts are measured using the difference between the market quotes of trading currencies adjusted for forward points and the executed contract rate.  For further details on the Company’s derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 18.

 

Level III assets and liabilities included in the table above consist of the estimated fair value of contingent consideration. A sensitivity analysis performed on our contingent consideration indicated that a hypothetical 10% increase in applicable revenue for WMS, Castle Rock and FinaConnect from their value at March 31, 2016 would result in a fair value increase of $2,700 in the Company’s contingent consideration balance.  A hypothetical 10% decrease in applicable revenue for WMS, Castle Rock and FinaConnect from their value at March 31, 2016 would result in a fair value decrease of $2,800 in the Company’s contingent consideration balance.

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities related to the WMS, Castle Rock and FinaConnect acquisitions were estimated using a discounted cash flow method with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level III fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The significant inputs in the Level III measurement not supported by market activity included our assessments of expected future cash flows related to our acquisitions of WMS, Castle Rock and FinaConnect during the subsequent three years from the date of acquisition, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

 

The Company utilized a discounted cash flow method with expected future performance of WMS, Castle Rock and FinaConnect and their ability to meet the target performance objectives as the main driver of the valuation, to arrive at the fair values of their respective contingent consideration. The Company will continue to reassess the fair value of the contingent consideration for each acquisition at each reporting date until settlement.  Changes to the estimated fair values of the contingent consideration will be recognized in earnings of the Company and included in general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of all assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level III) for the period from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016:
