2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year or for any future periods.

In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, have not changed.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Share Based Compensation

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share based payments, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity, or liabilities, an option to make a policy election to recognize gross share based compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur as well as certain classification changes on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which replaces the existing guidance for leases. ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve month term, these arrangements must now be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires the use of the modified retrospective method, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Going Concern

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40); Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management of a company to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU provides guidance on evaluating an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and the content of any required footnote disclosure based on that evaluation. The assessment period is one year after the date of the financial statements are issued. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15, but we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual reporting and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the adoption method it will apply, and the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Acquisition

Olapic, Inc.

On August 9, 2016, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Olapic, Inc., a privately-held company located in New York, New York; its wholly-owned subsidiaries Olapic UK Ltd., based in London, England; and Olapic Argentina S.A., based in Córdoba, Argentina (collectively, “Olapic”). Olapic is a provider of a leading visual commerce platform for collecting, curating, showcasing and measuring crowd sourced photos and videos. Olapic’s Earned Content Platform helps brands collect, curate, use and analyze user-generated content in the form of images and videos in their ecommerce experiences and across multiple marketing channels. This allows consumers to make more educated purchasing decisions, discover new products and connect to the brand’s community. The Company leverages photos and videos from social network sites to help to create powerful branded experiences that drive consumer engagement and increase conversions. The Company acquired Olapic for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $123.7 million, consisting of approximately $13.7 million in cash and borrowed $110.0 million from its line of credit, net of cash acquired. The Merger Agreement included an additional $9.0 million of consideration that has been placed in escrow and will be paid to the founders of Olapic contingent upon continued employment with the Company. Accordingly, this amount will be recognized as compensation expense over the service period contractually required to earn such amounts, which is $3.0 million after twenty four months and the remainder after thirty six months from the acquisition date. Monotype issued approximately $17.1 million of a combination of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units to the founders and employees of Olapic. These awards will vest over time based on continued employment, and accordingly will be accounted for as compensation expense. Seventy four employees from Olapic’s U.S. operations, eighty four employees from Olapic’s Argentina operations and forty UK and European employees joined the Company in connection with the acquisition. The results of operations of Olapic have been included in our consolidated results and revenue is included within the Creative Professional market beginning on August 9, 2016, the date of acquisition.

The table below provides the Olapic employees by functional area who have joined the Company in connection with the acquisition:


	Number of employees
Marketing and selling		117
Research and development		68
General and administration		13

Total		198

The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, as noted below (in thousands):


	Estimated Fair Value at Acquisition Date
Cash	$	5,942
Accounts receivable and other current assets		3,125
Property and equipment and other assets		1,029
Goodwill		88,745
Identifiable intangible assets		33,000
Accounts payable and other accrued expenses		(6,176	)
Deferred tax liability		(1,966	)

Total purchase price		123,699

The estimated fair value of intangible assets acquired were recorded as follows:


	Estimated Fair Value at Acquisition Date (in thousands)		Estimated Useful Life (in years)
Developed technology	$	16,600		10
Customer relationships		7,900		10
Non-compete agreements		1,500		4
Indefinite-lived intangible assets:
Trademarks and tradenames		7,000

Total	$	33,000

A portion of the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets and goodwill, respectively, and is reflected in the tables above. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is less than the purchase price, resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill reflects the value of the synergies we expect to realize and the assembled workforce. The acquisition of Olapic was structured in such a manner that the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the acquisition, which remains preliminary as of September 30, 2016, and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information currently available. The final allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets, goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities may differ materially from the information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

We recorded revenue of $2.0 million and a net loss of $4.6 million from Olapic, since the acquisition date, which is included in our condensed consolidated statements of income, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Transaction costs of $0.7 million and $1.1 million are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Pro Forma Results

The following table shows unaudited pro forma results of operations as if we had acquired Olapic at the beginning of the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Revenue	$	53,598	$	50,726	$	159,439	$	145,101
Net income	$	939	$	4,947	$	4,768	$	11,890
Net income per common share: basic	$	0.02	$	0.12	$	0.11	$	0.29
Net income per common share: diluted	$	0.02	$	0.12	$	0.11	$	0.29
Weighted average number of shares—basic		39,977,120		38,770,626		39,348,437		38,808,446
Weighted average number of shares—diluted		40,261,247		39,230,783		39,699,790		39,382,558

The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the transactions actually taken place at the beginning of the periods indicated.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Codification established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty and our own credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value, classified according to the three categories described above (in thousands):


	Fair Value Measurement at September 30, 2016

The Company’s recurring fair value measures relate to short-term investments, which are classified as cash equivalents, derivative instruments and from time-to-time contingent consideration. The fair value of our cash equivalents are either based on quoted prices for similar assets or other observable inputs such as yield curves at commonly quoted intervals and other market corroborated inputs. The fair value of our derivatives is based on quoted market prices from various banking institutions or an independent third-party provider for similar instruments. In determining the fair value, we consider our non-performance risk and that of our counterparties. At September 30, 2016, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell 2.6 million British pound sterling and purchase $3.4 million that together, had an immaterial fair value. There were no outstanding forward contracts at December 31, 2015.

The Company’s non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities subject to non-recurring measurements include goodwill and intangible assets.

7. Debt

On September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Company’s subsidiary, Monotype Imaging Inc., any financial institution that becomes a Lender (as defined therein) and Silicon Valley Bank, as agent which provides for a five-year $150.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility permits the Company to request that the Lenders, at their election, increase the secured credit facility to a maximum of $200.0 million. The Credit Facility is available to the Company on a revolving basis through September 15, 2020. Repayment of any amounts borrowed are not required until maturity of the Credit Facility. However, the Company may repay any amounts borrowed at any time, without premium or penalty. The New Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $120.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Original Credit Agreement”) by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. The Original Credit Agreement was terminated effective September 15, 2015 and was scheduled to expire on July 13, 2016. At September 30, 2016, the Company had $110.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate not less than zero based upon, at the Company’s option, either LIBOR or the higher of (i) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, and (ii) 0.5% plus the overnight federal funds rate, plus in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75% per annum, and the applicable margin for base rate loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is either 0.25%, 0.50% or 0.75%% per annum. At September 30, 2016 our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 1.8% for LIBOR. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee, based on the applicable leverage ratio, equal to 0.20%, 0.25% or 0.30% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred closing and legal fees of $1.0 million, which have been accounted for as deferred financing costs and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Agreement.

In addition to other covenants, the New Credit Agreement places limits on the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt or liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, transact with affiliates and alter its business. The New Credit Agreement also contains events of default, and affirmative covenants, including financial maintenance covenants which include (i) a maximum ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 3.00 to 1.00, and (ii) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. At September 30, 2016, our leverage ratio was 1.69:1.00 and our fixed charge ratio was 4.19:1.00. Adjusted EBITDA, under the Credit Facility, is defined as consolidated net income (or loss), plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share based compensation expense, plus acquisition expenses not to exceed $2.0 million on a trailing twelve month basis, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cash non-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cash non-operating gains and other non-cash gains. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the Lenders under the New Credit Agreement to declare all amounts borrowed under the New Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible property by a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and by a pledge by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries of 65% of the equity of their direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under our Credit Facility as of September 30, 2016.

8. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Our German subsidiary maintains an unfunded defined benefit pension plan which covers substantially all employees who joined the company prior to the plan’s closure to new participants in 2006. Participants are entitled to benefits in the form of retirement, disability and surviving dependent pensions. Benefits generally depend on years of service and the salary of the employees.

The components of net periodic benefit cost included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Reported income tax provision	$	9,671		40.1	%	$	9,717		31.3	%

At September 30, 2016, the reserve for uncertain tax positions was approximately $6.0 million. Of this amount, $3.6 million is recorded as a reduction of deferred tax assets and $2.4 million is classified as long term liabilities.

The permanent non-deductible acquisition related expense consists of purchase consideration primarily from the Olapic and Swyft acquisitions that is contingent on continued employment of key employees. For financial reporting purposes, these amounts are treated as compensation expense recognized ratably over the minimum required employment periods, which range from January 2018 to August 2019. Since these transactions were accounted for as stock acquisitions, such amounts are not deductible for tax purposes. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company settled a tax audit related to its Japan subsidiary. As a result of this settlement, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.3 million. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company settled a tax audit related to its 2012 U.S. federal tax return. As a result of this settlement, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.2 million. Additionally, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as a result of the expiration of the 2011 U.S. federal statute of limitations.

10. Net Income Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share, diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the following two approaches:

Assume exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method.

Assume exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method, but assume participating securities (unvested restricted stock) are not vested and allocate earnings to common shares and participating securities using the two-class method.

For all periods presented, the two-class method was used in the computation of diluted net income per share as this approach was more dilutive. The following presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Purchases

On August 30, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share purchase program permitting repurchases of up to $25.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2017. During the third quarter of 2016, there were no purchases of common stock under the program. Intended to offset shareholder dilution, the Company expects to make repurchases periodically, either on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability, as business and market conditions warrant. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at management’s and/or the Board of Director’s discretion.

Share Based Compensation

We account for share based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement of compensation costs at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. The following presents the impact of share based compensation expense on our condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Marketing and selling	$	2,164	$	1,693	$	5,349	$	4,568
Research and development		1,180		633		2,869		1,819
General and administrative		1,962		1,274		4,487		3,454

Total expensed	$	5,306	$	3,600	$	12,705	$	9,841
Property and equipment		—		—		—		82

Total share based compensation	$	5,306	$	3,600	$	12,705	$	9,923

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $0 and $82 thousand, respectively, of share based compensation was capitalized as part of an internal software project, and this amount is included in property and equipment, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had $42.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense, which is net of expected forfeitures, related to employees and directors’ unvested stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years. As of September 30, 2016, most of the performance criteria was not met on the performance-based restricted stock units; however, if the Company had determined achievement of those performance criteria was probable, the Company would have $5.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards.

12. Segment Reporting

We view our operations and manage our business as one segment: the development, marketing and licensing of technologies and fonts. Factors used to identify our single segment include the financial information available for evaluation by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. While our technologies and services are sold into two principal markets, Creative Professional and OEM, expenses and assets are not formally allocated to these market segments, and operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources. Olapic’s revenue has been included in our Creative Professional market. The following table presents revenue for these two major markets (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Creative Professional	$	27,798	$	22,472	$	75,170	$	63,654

Total	$	52,229	$	49,352	$	150,804	$	141,803

Geographic segment information

The Company attributes revenue to geographic areas based on the location of our subsidiary receiving such revenue. For example, licenses may be sold to large international companies which may be headquartered in the Republic of Korea, but the sales are received and recorded by our subsidiary located in the United States. In this example, the revenue would be reflected in the United States totals in the table below. We market our products and services through offices in the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, China, Republic of Korea and Japan. The following summarizes revenue by location:

Operating Leases

We conduct operations in facilities under operating leases expiring through 2025. In accordance with the lease terms, we pay real estate taxes and other operating costs. Our leases in California, New York, Massachusetts, Germany, India and Republic of Korea contain renewal options. The Company’s future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2016 are approximately as follows (in thousands):

2019		3,465
2020		2,684
2021		2,659
Thereafter		6,490

Total	$	23,963

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be a party to various claims, suits and complaints. We do not believe that there are claims or legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Licensing Warranty

Under our standard license agreement with our OEM customers, we warrant that the licensed technologies are free of infringement claims of intellectual property rights and will meet the specifications as defined in the licensing agreement for a specified period, typically one year. Under the licensing agreements, liability for such indemnity obligations is limited, generally to the total arrangement fee; however, exceptions have been made on a case-by-case basis, increasing the maximum potential liability to agreed upon amounts at the time the contract is entered into or unlimited liability. We believe the estimated fair value of these warranties is minimal. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded for these warranties as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

14. Subsequent Events

Dividend Declaration

On October 26, 2016 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.11 per share quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date is set for January 2, 2017 and the dividend is payable to shareholders of record on January 20, 2017. Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and depend on actual cash from operations, the Company’s financial condition and capital requirements and any other factors the Company’s Board of Directors may consider relevant. Future dividend declarations, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

Share Purchase Program

Subsequent to September 30, 2016, the Company purchased 8,000 shares of common stock for $0.2 million, at an average price per share of $21.84 through October 20, 2016. The Company purchased these shares on the open market at prevailing market prices and in accordance with its previously announced share purchase program. At October 20, 2016, $24.8 million remains for future purchase under the Plan.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements and Projections

On August 9, 2016, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Olapic, Inc., a privately-held company located in located in New York, New York; its wholly-owned subsidiaries Olapic UK Ltd., based in London, England; and Olapic Argentina S.A., based in Córdoba, Argentina. Olapic is a provider of a leading visual commerce platform for collecting, curating, showcasing and measuring crowd sourced photos and videos. Olapic’s Earned Content Platform helps brands collect, curate, use and analyze user-generated content in the form of images and videos in their ecommerce experiences and across multiple marketing channels. This allows consumers to make more educated purchasing decisions, discover new products and connect to the brand’s community. The Company leverages photos and videos from social network sites to help to create powerful branded experiences that drive consumer engagement and increase conversions. The Company acquired Olapic for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $123.7 million, consisting of approximately $13.7 million in cash and borrowed $110.0 million from its line of credit, net of cash acquired. The merger agreement included an additional $9.0 million of consideration that has been placed in escrow and will be paid to the founders of Olapic contingent upon continued employment with the Company. Accordingly, this amount will be recognized as compensation expense over the service period contractually required to earn such amounts, which is $3.0 million after twenty four months and the remainder after thirty six months from the acquisition date. Monotype issued approximately $17.1 million of a combination of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units to the founders and employees of Olapic. These awards will vest over time based on continued employment, and accordingly will be accounted for as compensation expense. Seventy five employees from Olapic’s U.S. operations, eighty five employees from Olapic’s Argentina operations and forty one UK and European employees joined the Company in connection with the acquisition. The results of operations of Olapic have been included in our consolidated results and revenue is included within the Creative Professional market beginning on August 9, 2016, the date of acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, we recorded $88.7 million of goodwill. The goodwill reflects the value of the synergies we expect to realize and the assembled workforce. The acquisition of Olapic was structured in such a manner that the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the acquisition, which remains preliminary as of September 30, 2016, and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information currently available. The final allocation of the purchase price to intangible assets, goodwill and deferred tax assets and liabilities may differ materially from the information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Sources of Revenue

We derive revenue from two principal sources: primarily licensing our fonts and font related services to creative and business professionals, which we refer to as our Creative Professional revenue, and licensing our text imaging solutions to consumer device manufacturers and independent software vendors, which we refer to as our OEM revenue. We derive our Creative Professional revenue primarily from brands, agencies, publishers, corporations, enterprises, small businesses and individuals. Some of our revenue streams, particularly custom font design services where spending is largely discretionary in nature, have historically been and we expect them to continue to be in the future, susceptible to weakening economic conditions.

Geographic revenue, which is based on the location of our subsidiary receiving such revenue, is in the table below:

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries located outside the United States comprised 38.3% and 45.0%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries located outside the United States comprised 43.0% and 44.6%, respectively, of our total revenue. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, U.S. revenue as a percent of total revenue increased due to the Olapic acquisition. We expect that sales by our international subsidiaries will continue to represent a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Future international revenue will depend on the continued use and expansion of our fonts and font technology worldwide.

We derive a significant portion of our OEM revenue from a limited number of customers, in particular manufacturers of laser printers and consumer electronics. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our top ten licensees by revenue, most of which are OEM customers, accounted for approximately 33.5% and 34.5% of our total revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our top ten licensees by revenue, most of which are OEM customers, accounted for approximately 30.9% and 34.4% of our total revenue, respectively. Although no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2016 or 2015, if we are unable to maintain relationships with major customers or establish relationships with new customers, our licensing revenue will be adversely affected.

Creative Professional Revenue

Our Creative Professional revenue is derived primarily from font licenses, font related services and from custom font design services. We license fonts directly to end-users through our e-commerce websites, via telephone, e-mail and indirectly through third-party resellers. Font related services refer to our web font services and web design tools. We also license fonts and provide custom font design services to graphic designers, advertising agencies, media organizations and corporations. Through our recent acquisition, we also license access to Olapic’s Earned Content Platform, application software, to brands. We refer to direct, indirect and custom font design services, as non-web revenue, and refer to revenue that is derived from our websites, as web revenue.

Revenue from font licenses to our e-commerce customers is recognized upon payment by the customer and the software embodying the font is shipped or made available. Revenue from font licenses to other customers is recognized upon shipment of the software embodying the font and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue from resellers is recognized upon notification from the reseller that our font product has been licensed and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Custom font design services are generally recognized upon delivery, unless it is part of a bundled services arrangement, in which case, it is recognized over the longest service period. Font related service revenue is mainly subscription based and it may contain software as a service. Substantially all of Olapic’s revenue consists of subscription-based software as a service (“SaaS”). Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period.

We consider web server and commercial rights to online fonts as recurring revenue and it is recognized upon payment by the customer and proof of font delivery, when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Contract accounting, completed contract for short-term projects and percentage-of-completion for long-term projects, is used where services are deemed essential to the software.

OEM Revenue

Our OEM revenue is derived substantially from per-unit royalties received for printer imaging and printer driver, or printer products, and display imaging products. Under our licensing arrangements we typically receive a royalty for each product unit incorporating our fonts and technology that is shipped by our OEM customers. We also receive OEM revenue from fixed fee licenses with certain of our OEM customers. Fixed fee licensing arrangements are not based on units shipped by the customer, but instead, customers pay us on a periodic basis for the right to embed our fonts and technology in their products. Although significantly less than royalties from per-unit shipments and fixed fees from OEM customers, we also receive revenue from software application and operating systems vendors, who include our fonts and technology in their products, and for font development. Many of our per-unit royalty licenses continue for the duration that our OEM customers ship products that include our technology, unless terminated for breach. Other licenses have terms that typically range from one to five years, and usually provide for automatic or optional renewals. We recognize revenue from per-unit royalties in the period during which we receive a royalty report from a customer, typically one quarter after royalty-bearing units are shipped, as we do not have the ability to estimate the number of units shipped by our customers. Revenue from fixed fee licenses is generally recognized when it is billed to the customer, so long as the product has been delivered, the license fee is fixed and non-refundable and collection is probable. OEM revenue also includes project-related agreements for which contract accounting, completed contract for short-term projects and percentage-of-completion for long-term projects, may be used.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists of font license fees that we pay on certain fonts that are owned by third parties, allocated internal engineering expense and overhead costs directly related to custom font design services. Our cost of revenue also consists of server and hosting fees and moderating fees related to delivery of Olapic’s SaaS services. License fees that we pay to third parties are typically based on a percentage of our Creative Professional and OEM revenue and do not involve minimum fees. Our cost of OEM revenue has typically had a lower cost than our cost of Creative Professional revenue because we own a higher percentage of the fonts licensed to our OEM customers, provide value-added technology and have negotiated lower royalty rates on the fonts we license from third parties because of volume. We have achieved improved margins on our Creative Professional revenue as a result of product mix and lower royalty rates. In addition, Creative Professional revenue includes custom font design service revenue, which has a substantially higher cost than our other revenue. Our gross profit margin may vary depending on the mix of revenue between sales of our fonts and sales of third party fonts, and depending on the level of custom font design service revenue.

Cost of revenue also includes amortization of acquired technology, which we amortize over 8 to 15 years. For purposes of amortizing acquired technology we estimate the remaining useful life of the technology based upon various considerations, including our knowledge of the technology and the way our customers use it. We use the straight-line method to amortize our acquired technology. There is no reliable evidence to suggest that we should expect any other pattern of amortization than an even pattern, and we believe this best reflects the expected pattern of economic usage.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit percentage is influenced by a number of factors including product mix, pricing and volume at any particular time. However, our cost of OEM revenue is typically lower than our cost of Creative Professional revenue because we own a higher percentage of the fonts licensed to our OEM customers, provide value-added technology and have negotiated lower royalty rates on the fonts we license from third parties because of volume. In addition, within our Creative Professional business, the cost of our custom font design service revenue is substantially higher than the cost of our other revenue. The relative cost of our Creative Professional revenue has decreased in recent periods, as efforts to sell more of our fonts have been successful, and because we have recently experienced success in our effort to sell certain license rights that carry lower royalty rates to Creative Professional customers. Our gross profit is subject to variability from period-to-period, depending on the product mix and the level of custom font design service revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts

reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2015. Information about our critical accounting policies may be found in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Revenues by Market. We view our operations and manage our business as one segment: the development, marketing and licensing of technologies and fonts. Factors used to identify our single segment include the financial information available for evaluation by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. While our technologies and services are sold to customers in two principal markets, Creative Professional and consumer device manufacturers and independent software vendors, together OEM, expenses and assets are not formally allocated to these markets, and operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources.

The following table presents revenue for these two principal markets (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2016		2015
Creative Professional	$	27,798	$	22,472	$	5,326
OEM		24,431		26,880		(2,449	)

Total revenue	$	52,229	$	49,352	$	2,877

Revenue

Revenue was $52.2 million and $49.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $2.8 million, or 5.8%.

Creative Professional revenue increased $5.3 million, or 23.7%, to $27.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $22.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, mainly due to increased direct revenue and revenue from Olapic. Direct revenue increased partially due to licenses of digital ads and partially due to increased recurring licenses of fonts for web server applications to enterprise customers. Olapic subscription sales also contributed to the increase in Creative Professional revenue period over period.

OEM revenue was $24.4 million and $26.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 9.1%. Decreased royalty revenue from our printer OEM customers and display imaging consumer electronic OEM customers was mainly due to lower volume of shipments and decreased license revenue from our independent software vendor customers.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was $8.5 million and $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million, or 16.1%. The increase in cost of revenue in the third quarter of 2016 is a result of a higher proportion of Creative Professional revenue in our mix of total revenue, which typically has a higher associated cost than OEM, partially offset by improved margins on our Creative Professional revenue with enterprise customers, as compared to the third quarter of 2015. Further, our Creative Professional revenue has grown organically and from the acquisition of Olapic, while our OEM revenue has declined as described above. In the three months ended September 30, 2016, Creative Professional revenue was 53.2% of total revenue, as compared to 45.5% of total revenue in the same period in 2015.

The portion of cost of revenue consisting of amortization of acquired technology increased $0.3 million, or 26.6%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to our acquisition of Olapic.

Gross profit was 81.1% of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to 83.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of 1.9 percentage points due to variations in product mix, as detailed above.

Operating Expenses

Marketing and Selling. Marketing and selling expense was $16.5 million and $15.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 6.9%, in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Personnel expenses increased $1.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic and due to additional compensation expense in connection with an amendment to the Swyft Media Merger Agreement executed in November 2015. Other marketing related expenses decreased $0.7 million, mainly due to the timing of targeted spending, in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015.

Research and Development. Research and development expense increased $2.6 million, or 50.9% to $7.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $5.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic. External consulting and related software development accounted for $0.2 million of the overall increase.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense increased $3.2 million, or 38.9%, to $11.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $8.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $2.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic and other targeted hiring. Higher infrastructure expenses generally resulting from the increased headcount, such as software licenses, facilities related expenses and depreciation, contributed $0.6 million to the overall increase in general and administrative expense.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was $0.9 million and $0.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of interest income was $0.4 million and $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million, or 48.1%. Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to outstanding debt and unused line fees. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2016 was $110.0 million, which was drawn on our revolving credit facility in connection with our acquisition of Olapic Inc. on August 9, 2016. There was no debt outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2015 consisted mainly of unused line fees in connection with our original credit facility.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015, which was incurred in connection with the refinancing of our Credit Facility in September 2015. There was no similar item in the same period in 2016.

Loss on Foreign Exchange

Losses on foreign exchange were $0.4 million and $44 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, primarily due to the strengthening of the Japanese Yen as compared to the US dollar.

Gain on Derivatives

Gain on derivatives was $0.1 million and $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, primarily due to our 30-day forward currency contracts.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, our effective tax rate was 52.7% and 27.0%, respectively. The increase in our effective rate is primarily due to a charge of 17.6% for non-deductible acquisition related expenses primarily from Olapic and Swyft that is contingent on continued employment. This is treated as compensation expense for GAAP purposes and is not deductible for tax purposes. This was partially offset by a benefit of 2.8% for research credits. There were no similar items in the same period in 2015. The legislation for the research credit for 2015 had not yet been passed as of September 30, 2015. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 included a benefit of 4.9% for foreign rate differential, an increased benefit of 4.2% resulting from increased pretax net income in our UK subsidiaries, which is taxed at a lower rate than the applicable U.S. statutory rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 included a benefit of 6.3% for the reversal of reserves in connection with a settlement of a U.S. federal tax audit of the Company’s 2012 tax return and the expiration of the statute of limitations on reserves related to the Company’s 2011 tax returns. There was no similar item in the same period in 2016. The effective tax rate included a charge of 3.0% for the third quarter of 2016 for state and local income taxes, net of federal benefit, as compared to a charge of 1.2% in 2015.

Revenue by Market. The following table presents revenue for these two principal markets (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2016		2015
Creative Professional	$	75,170	$	63,654	$	11,516
OEM		75,634		78,149		(2,515	)

Total revenue	$	150,804	$	141,803	$	9,001

Revenue

Revenue was $150.8 million and $141.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $9.0 million, or 6.3%.

Creative Professional revenue increased $11.5 million, or 18.1%, to $75.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $63.7 million in the same period in 2015, mainly due to increased direct revenue and revenue from Olapic. Direct revenue increased due to licenses of digital ads and increased recurring licenses of web font services and fonts for web server applications to enterprise customers, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015. Olapic subscription sales also contributed to the increase in Creative Professional revenue, period over period.

OEM revenue was $75.6 million and $78.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 3.2%. Decreased revenue from per unit royalty arrangements with our printer imaging electronic OEM customers, primarily due to lower volume of shipments, and decreased revenue from our independent software vendor customers, mainly due to the timing of revenue, was partially offset by increased revenue from our automotive display imaging OEM customers, period over period.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was $24.4 million and $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $2.1 million, or 9.5%. The increase in cost of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 is a result of a higher proportion of Creative Professional revenue in our mix of total revenue which typically has a higher associated cost than OEM, partially offset by improved margins on our Creative Professional revenue with enterprise customers, as compared to the third quarter of 2015. Further, our Creative Professional revenue has grown organically and from the acquisition of Olapic, while our OEM revenue has declined as described above. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Creative Professional revenue was 49.8% of total revenue, as compared to 44.9% of total revenue in the same period in 2015.

Amortization of acquired technology was $3.6 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 8.3%, primarily due to our acquisition of Olapic.

Gross profit was 81.4% and 81.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of 0.5 percentage points, due to variations in product mix as detailed above.

Operating Expenses

Marketing and Selling. Marketing and selling expense was $45.3 million and $43.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $2.3 million, or 5.3%. Personnel expenses increased $4.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015 due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic and other targeted hiring, and additional compensation expense in connection with an amendment to the Swyft Media Merger Agreement executed in November 2015. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in headcount due to a redeployment of certain employees at the beginning of 2016 to development related activities from our sales and marketing organization. The increase was also partially offset by decreased marketing related expenses of $1.8 million due to the timing of targeted spending, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015. Lower bank fees on web sales and a decrease in bad debt together contributed a decrease of $0.6 million, period over period.

Research and Development. Research and development expense increased $4.9 million, or 29.9%, to $21.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $4.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic. Higher infrastructure expenses, primarily software licenses and facilities related expenses, contributed $0.5 million to the increase in research and development in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, a result of increased headcount. External consulting and related software development increased $0.4 million period over period. These increases were partially offset by a grant received related to the Company’s development work within Northern Ireland which contributed a decrease of $0.5 million.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense increased $6.7 million, or 30.6%, to $28.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $22.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased $5.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to additional headcount from our acquisition of Olapic and other targeted hiring. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $0.6 million of personnel expenses were capitalized in connection with our new ERP system. As the system was placed into service in the third quarter of 2015, there was no capitalization benefit in the same period in 2016, and associated depreciation expense contributed an additional $0.9 million to the overall increase in general and administrative expense. Professional service expense increased $0.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to ongoing ERP system support.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was $2.4 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September, 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of interest income, was $0.5 million and $0.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 29.2%. The decrease in interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, was partially due to a reduction in the unused line fee rate, in connection with the refinancing of our revolving credit facility in September 2015, and was partially offset by interest expense on the borrowings under our revolving line of credit. Total debt outstanding at September 30, 2016 was $110.0 million, which was drawn on our revolving credit facility in connection with our acquisition of Olapic Inc. on August 9, 2016. Prior to August 9, 2016, there was no debt outstanding. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense consisted mainly of unused line fees in connection with our original credit facility, as there was no debt outstanding.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which was incurred in connection with the refinancing of our Credit Facility in September 2015. There was no similar item in the same period in 2016.

Loss on Foreign Exchange

Loss on foreign exchange was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million, or 21.0%, mainly due to the revaluation of foreign denominated liabilities.

Gain on Derivatives

Gain on derivatives was $0.3 million and $48 thousand and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, resulting from our 30-day forward currency contracts.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 40.1% and 31.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in our effective rate is primarily due to a charge of 5.5% for non-deductible acquisition related expenses, partially offset by a benefit of 1.2% for research credits. The non-deductible acquisition related expense consists of purchase consideration primarily from Olapic and Swyft that is contingent on continued employment. This is compensation expense for GAAP purposes and is not deductible for tax purposes. There were no similar items in the same period in 2015 as the legislation for the research credit for 2015 had not yet been passed as of September 30, 2015. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included a benefit of 2.1% for foreign income and dividends, as compared to a benefit of 0.8% in 2015, primarily resulting from the proportion of income increased in our UK subsidiary, which is taxed at a lower rate than the applicable U.S. statutory rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included a benefit of 3.3% for the reversal of reserves related to the settlements of tax audits in the U.S. and Japan, as well as the expiration of the statute of limitations on reserves related to the Company’s 2011 tax returns. There was no similar item in the same period in 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash from operations, private and public stock sales and long-term debt arrangements, as described below. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, our cash flow from operating activities and available bank borrowings will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. At September 30, 2016, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $97.6 million and a $150.0 million revolving Credit Facility, of which we have borrowed $110.0 million for the acquisition of Olapic Inc. on August 9, 2016. On August 30, 2016, our Board of Director’s approved a $25.0 million share purchase program, with purchases permitted through December 31, 2017. At September 30, 2016, there have been no purchases under the plan. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we used $18.2 million in cash to repurchase shares in connection with our share repurchase program approved in October 2013 and completed in June 2015, after reaching the maximum cumulative spend. We also used $0.4 million in cash to repurchase shares in excess of our previously approved share repurchase program. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the operations of our existing business, our potential strategic expansion and future acquisitions we might undertake.

The following table presents our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	10,063		$	(4,010	)

Operating Activities

Significant variations in operating cash flows may occur because, from time-to-time, our customers make prepayments against future royalties. Prepayments may be required under the terms of our license agreements and are occasionally made on an elective basis and often cause large fluctuations in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. The timing and extent of such prepayments significantly impacts our cash balances.

We generated $31.9 million in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of interest, share based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes and unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions generated $38.9 million in cash. In connection with the acquisition of Olapic Inc. on August 9, 2016, we used $9.0 million to fund an escrow account to be used for future payments due in 2018 and 2019 under the agreement. Accrued income taxes generated $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Deferred revenue, net of increased accounts receivable generated $1.5 million net in cash, which is mainly due to the timing of a large contract signing. Increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and prepaid expenses and other assets, combined with a decrease in accounts payable used $0.4 million net in cash, which is mainly due to the timing of payments.

We generated $40.3 million in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, loss on retirement of fixed assets, loss on debt extinguishment, amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of interest, share based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes and unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions generated $40.8 million in cash. Increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and accounts payable, combined with a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets generated $3.0 million, which is mainly due to the timing of payments including a higher dividend accrual. Accrued income taxes generated $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Increased accounts receivable, and decreased deferred revenue used $4.7 million net in cash, which is mainly due to the timing of a large contract signing.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we used $122.0 million in investing activities for the purchase of $1.6 million of property and equipment and $120.4 million for acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we used $22.1 million in investing activities mainly for the purchase of $7.8 million of property and equipment and $14.3 million for acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Cash generated from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $99.8 million. Cash borrowed from our revolving Credit Facility for the acquisition of Olapic Inc. generated $110.0 million. We received cash from the exercises of stock options of $2.4 million and the excess tax benefit on stock options provided $0.4 million. We paid cash dividends of $13.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $21.7 million. We received cash from the exercises of stock options of $6.6 million and the excess tax benefit on stock options provided $1.7 million. We paid cash dividends of $11.1 million, contingent consideration payments of $0.3 million, and purchased $18.6 million in treasury stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Dividends

On July 26, 2016 our Board of Directors approved a $0.11 per share or $4.6 million, quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date was October 3, 2016 and the dividend was paid to shareholders of record on October 21, 2016. We anticipate this to be a recurring quarterly dividend with future payments and record dates, subject to board approval. On October 26, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.11 per share quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date is set for January 2, 2017 and the dividend is payable to shareholders of record on January 20, 2017.

Credit Facility

On September 15, 2015, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Company’s subsidiary, Monotype Imaging Inc., any financial institution that becomes a Lender (as defined therein) and Silicon Valley Bank, as agent which provides for a five-year $150.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility permits the Company to request that the Lenders, at their election, increase the secured credit facility to a maximum of $200.0 million. The Credit Facility is available to the Company on a revolving basis through September 15, 2020. Repayment of any amounts borrowed are not required until maturity of the Credit Facility. However, the Company may repay any amounts borrowed at any time, without premium or penalty. The Credit Facility provides more attractive interest rates and a lower commitment fee than those under the Original Credit Agreement, as defined below. The New Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $120.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Original Credit Agreement”) by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. The Original Credit Agreement was terminated effective September 15, 2015 and was scheduled to expire on July 13, 2016. At September 30, 2016, the Company had $110.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest through September 15, 2020 at a variable rate not less than zero based upon, at the Company’s option, either LIBOR or the higher of (i) the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal and (ii) 0.5% plus the overnight federal funds rate, plus in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is 1.25%, 1.50% or 1.75% per annum, and the applicable margin for base rate loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is either 0.25%, 0.50% or 0.75%% per annum. At September 30, 2016 our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 1.8% for LIBOR. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee, based on the applicable leverage ratio, equal to 0.20%, 0.25% or 0.30% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding letters of credit. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred closing and legal fees of $1.0 million, which have been accounted for as deferred financing costs and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Agreement. In addition, $0.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the pro-rata share of prior loan syndicate lenders that did not participate in the new facility were written off and charged to other expense in the third quarter of 2015.

In addition to other covenants, the New Credit Agreement places limits on the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt or liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, transact with affiliates and alter its business. The New Credit Agreement also contains events of default, and affirmative covenants, including financial maintenance covenants which include (i) a maximum ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 3.00 to 1.00, and (ii) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. Adjusted EBITDA, under the Credit Facility, is defined as consolidated net income (or loss), plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share based compensation expense, plus acquisition expenses not to exceed $2.0 million on a trailing twelve month basis, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cash non-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cash non-operating gains and other non-cash gains. As of September 30, 2016, the maximum leverage ratio permitted was 3.00:1.00 and our leverage ratio was 1.69:1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.25:1.00 and our fixed charge ratio was 4.19:1.00. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the Lenders under the New Credit Agreement to declare all amounts borrowed under the New Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible property by a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and by a pledge by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries of 65% of the equity of their direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions.

The following table presents a reconciliation from net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure, to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our Credit Facility (in thousands):

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP profitability measures such as income (loss) from operations and net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure has material limitations since it excludes the statement of income impact of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, the provision (benefit) for income taxes and share based compensation and therefore does not represent an accurate measure of profitability, particularly in situations where a company is highly leveraged or has a disadvantageous tax structure. We have significant intangible assets and amortization expense is a meaningful element in our financial statements and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. At September 30, 2016 we have a significant amount of debt and we have had a significant amount of debt in the past, and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We generally incur significant U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes each year and the provision for income taxes is a necessary element of our costs and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. Share based compensation and the associated expense has a meaningful impact on our financial statements. Non-cash expenses, restructuring, issuance and cash non-operating expenses have a meaningful impact on our financial statements. Therefore, their exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in conjunction with net income for complete analysis of our profitability, as net income includes the financial statement impact of these items and is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure to Adjusted EBITDA. As Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of the limitations that Adjusted EBITDA has as an analytical tool, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.

The Credit Facility also contains provisions for an increased interest rate during periods of default. We do not believe that these covenants will affect our ability to operate our business, and we were in compliance with the covenants under our Credit Facility as of September 30, 2016.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to Adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we rely internally on certain measures that are not calculated according to GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is net adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and share based compensation expenses. We use net adjusted EBITDA as a principal indicator of the operating performance of our business. We use net adjusted EBITDA in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our board of directors, determining bonus compensation for our employees based on operating performance and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that net adjusted EBITDA permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance, relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of charges that may vary from period-to-period without direct correlation to underlying operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making. We believe that trends in our net adjusted EBITDA may be valuable indicators of our operating performance.

In November 2015, we revised our definition of non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of acquisition-related contingent consideration adjustments. The impact of these adjustments has been added back in calculating non-GAAP net adjusted EBITDA. This change more accurately reflects management’s view of the Company’s business and financial performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation from net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP operating financial measure, to net adjusted EBITDA as used by management (in thousands):

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 the amount includes $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of expense associated with the deferred compensation arrangement resulting from an amendment to the Swyft Merger Agreement and $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of expense associated with the deferred compensation arrangement with the founders of Olapic in connection with the acquisition.

Net adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP profitability measures such as income (loss) from operations and net income (loss).

Because of the limitations that net adjusted EBITDA has as an analytical tool, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we discuss a key measure that is not calculated according to GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which is defined as earnings per diluted share before amortization of acquired intangible assets and share based compensation expenses. We use non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as one of our principal indicators of the operating performance of our business. We use non-GAAP earnings per diluted share in internal forecasts, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our board of directors and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that non-GAAP earnings per diluted share permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance, relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of charges that may vary from period-to-period without direct correlation to underlying operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making.

Contingent consideration and its associated income or (expense) has a meaningful impact on our financial statements therefore its exclusion from non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is a material limitation.

Information concerning recently issued accounting pronouncements may be found in Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risk, including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk.

Concentration of Revenue and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. Cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and certain investments, such as commercial paper, corporate securities and municipal securities, with maturities less than 90 days or containing seven day guaranteed put features to the issuer. Deposits of cash held outside the United States totaled approximately $23.6 million and $15.3 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

We grant credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. Credit evaluations are performed on an ongoing basis to reduce credit risk, and no collateral is required from our customers. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible based upon historical experience and credit evaluation. One customer individually accounted for 14.8% of our gross accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016. At December 31, 2015, none of our customers individually accounted for 10% or more of our gross accounts receivable. Due to the nature of our quarterly revenue streams derived from royalty revenue, it is not unusual for our accounts receivable balances to include a few customers with large balances. Historically, we have not recorded material losses due to customers’ nonpayment. Our Creative Professional business consists of a higher volume of lower dollar value transactions. Accordingly, as the percent of Creative Professional revenue increases in relation to total revenue, we expect the average time to collect our accounts receivables, and our overall accounts receivables balances, to increase.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk

In the past we have used interest rate derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate volatility resulting from our variable rate debt. ASC Topic No.815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships, including a requirement that all designations must be made at the inception of each instrument. As we did not make such initial designations, ASC 815 requires changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument to be recognized as current period income or expense.

The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated based on the amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date. Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long term debt. The interest rate on our Credit Facility fluctuates with either the prime rate or the LIBOR interest rate. At September 30, 2016, the Company had $110.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2015, the Company had no borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility. Historically, we have purchased interest rate swap instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our debt obligations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

In accordance with ASC Topic No. 830, Foreign Currency Matters, or ASC 830, all assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments as calculated from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries located outside North America, particularly the U.K, Germany and Japan, comprised 38.3% and 45.0%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, sales by our subsidiaries located outside North America comprised 43.0% and 44.6%, respectively, of our total revenue. An effect of a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro and Japanese yen, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have decreased our revenues by $2.5 million, decreased expenses by $1.9 million and decreased operating income by $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a 10% strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro and Japanese yen, relative to the U.S. dollar, would have decreased our revenues by $7.8 million, decreased expenses by $6.1 million and decreased operating income by $1.7 million. The sensitivity analysis assumes that all currencies move in the same direction at the same time and the ratio of non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue and expenses to U.S. dollar denominated revenue and expenses does not change from current levels.

We incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to certain customers that are invoiced in U.S. dollars, but who have the option to make an equivalent payment in their own functional currencies at a specified exchange rate as of a specified date. In the period from that date until payment in the customer’s functional currency is received and converted into U.S. dollars, we can incur realized gains and losses. We also incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses on certain intercompany assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We are currently utilizing 30-day forward contracts to mitigate our exposure on these currency fluctuations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the forward contracts is offset by the change in the value of the hedged assets of our consolidated foreign affiliate. At September 30, 2016 there was one currency contract outstanding, to purchase and sell two different currencies, which was entered into on those dates, and accordingly, the fair value was materially equivalent to its book value. There were no outstanding forward contracts at December 31, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2016, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as noted below, there are no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

We conduct a substantial portion of our business outside North America and, as a result, we face diverse risks related to engaging in international business.

We have offices in six foreign countries and we are dedicating a significant portion of our sales efforts in countries outside North America. We are dependent on international sales for a substantial amount of our total revenue. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, approximately 45.5%, 47.6% and 45.3%, respectively, of our total revenue was derived from operations outside the U.S. and we expect that international sales will continue to represent a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. This future international revenue will depend on the continued use and expansion of our type and technologies, including the licensing of our solutions worldwide.

We are subject to the risks of conducting business internationally, including:

•

our ability to enforce our contractual and intellectual property rights, especially in those foreign countries that do not respect and protect intellectual property rights to the same extent that the United States does, which increases the risk of unauthorized and uncompensated use of our type or technologies;

•

United States and foreign government trade restrictions, including those that may impose restrictions on importation of programming, technology or components to or from the United States;

•

foreign government taxes, regulations and permit requirements, including foreign taxes that we may not be able to offset against taxes imposed upon us in the United States, and foreign tax and other laws limiting our ability to repatriate funds to the United States;

•

risks related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, in particular fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Japanese yen, the European Union’s euro, and the United Kingdom’s pound sterling, including risks related to hedging activities we may undertake;

•

foreign labor laws, regulations and restrictions;

•

changes in diplomatic and trade relationships;

•

difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations;

•

political instability, including the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union, as well as related events, natural disasters, war and/or events of terrorism; and

•

the strength of international economies.

If we are unsuccessful in managing these risks, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
