REALPAGE, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. The Company
RealPage, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, (the Company or we or us)
is a provider of property management solutions that enable owners and managers of single-family and
a wide variety of multi-family rental property types to manage their marketing, pricing, screening,
leasing, accounting, purchasing and other property operations. Our on demand software solutions are
delivered through an integrated software platform that provides a single point of access and a
shared repository of prospect, resident and property data. By integrating and streamlining a wide
range of complex processes and interactions among the rental housing ecosystem of owners, managers,
prospects, residents and service providers, our platform optimizes the property management process
and improves the experience for all of these constituents. Our solutions enable property owners and
managers to optimize revenues and reduce operating costs through higher occupancy, improved pricing
methodologies, new sources of revenue from ancillary services, improved collections and more
integrated and centralized processes.
Reverse Stock Split
On July 22, 2010, the board of directors approved an amended and restated certificate of
incorporation that effected a reverse stock split of every two outstanding shares of preferred
stock and common stock into one share of preferred stock or common stock, respectively. The par
value of the common and convertible preferred stock was not adjusted as a result of the reverse
stock split. All issued and outstanding common stock, restricted stock, redeemable convertible
preferred stock, warrants for common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial
statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods
presented. The reverse stock split was effected on July 23, 2010.
Public Offerings
On August 11, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No 333-166397) relating to
our initial public offering (IPO) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). We sold 6,000,000 shares of common stock in our initial public offering. Our
common stock began trading on August 12, 2010 on the NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market under the
symbol RP, and our initial public offering closed on August 17, 2010. Upon closing of our initial
public offering, all outstanding shares of our preferred stock, including a portion of accrued but
unpaid dividends on our outstanding shares of Series A, Series A1 and Series B convertible
preferred stock, were converted into 29,567,952 shares of common stock.
In connection with the consummation of the Offering, our Board of Directors and stockholders
approved our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Restated Certificate), which
was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and became effective on August 17, 2010. The
Restated Certificate provides for two classes of capital stock to be designated, respectively,
Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares which the Company is authorized to
issue is 135,000,000 shares. 125,000,000 shares are Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and
10,000,000 shares are Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share.
On December 6, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No 333-170667) relating to a
public stock offering was declared effective by the SEC. We sold an additional 4,000,000 shares of
common stock in the offering. The offering closed on December 10, 2010.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information not misleading.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments
(consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
state fairly the results for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any
subsequent interim period or for the fiscal year.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
February 28, 2011 (Form 10K).
5
Segment and Geographic Information
Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial
information presented on a company-wide basis. As a result, we determined that the Company has a
single reporting segment and operating unit structure.
Principally, all of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was in
North America.
Net long-lived assets held were $22.5 million and $24.0 million in North America and $0.5
million and $0.5 million in our international subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively.
Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to
make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant
accounting policies and estimates include: the allowance for doubtful accounts; the useful lives of
intangible assets and the recoverability or impairment of tangible and intangible asset values;
purchase accounting allocations and related reserves; deferred revenue; stock-based compensation;
and our effective income tax rate and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which are based
upon our expectations of future taxable income and allowable deductions. Actual results could
differ from these estimates. For greater detail regarding these accounting policies and estimates,
refer to our Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition
We derive our revenue from three primary sources: our on demand software solutions; our on
premise software solutions; and professional and other services. We commence revenue recognition
when all of the following conditions are met:
|
|
|
there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; |
|
|
|
the solution and/or service has been provided to the customer; |
|
|
|
the collection of the fees is probable; and |
|
|
|
the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. |
For multi-element arrangements that include multiple software solutions and/or services, we
allocate arrangement consideration to all deliverables that have stand-alone value based on their
relative selling prices. In such circumstances, we utilize the following hierarchy to determine the
selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables as follows:
|
|
|
Vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), if available. The price at which we sell the
element in a separate stand-alone transaction; |
|
|
|
Third-party evidence of selling price (TPE), if VSOE of selling price is not available.
Evidence from us or other companies of the value of a largely interchangeable element in a
transaction; and |
|
|
|
Estimated selling price (ESP), if neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price is available.
Our best estimate of the stand-alone selling price of an element in a transaction. |
Our process for determining ESP for deliverables without VSOE or TPE considers multiple
factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each
deliverable. Key factors primarily considered in developing ESP include prices charged by us for
similar offerings when sold separately, pricing policies and approvals from standard pricing and
other business objectives.
From time to time, we sell on demand software solutions with professional services. In such
cases, as each element has stand alone value, we allocate arrangement consideration based on our
estimated selling price of the on demand software solution and VSOE of the selling price of the
professional services.
On Demand Revenue
Our on demand revenue consists of license and subscription fees, transaction fees related to
certain of our software-enabled value-added services and commissions derived from us selling
certain risk mitigation services.
6
License and subscription fees are comprised of a charge billed at the initial order date and
monthly or annual subscription fees for accessing our on demand software solutions. The license fee
billed at the initial order date is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the longer
of the contractual term or the period in which the customer is expected to benefit, which we
consider to be four years. Recognition starts once the product has been activated. Revenue from
monthly and annual subscription fees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the access period.
We recognize revenue from transaction fees derived from certain of our software-enabled
value-added services as the related services are performed.
As part of our risk mitigation services to the rental housing industry, we act as an insurance
agent and derive commission revenue from the sale of insurance products to individuals. The
commissions are based upon a percentage of the premium that the insurance company charges to the
policyholder and are subject to forfeiture in instances where a policyholder cancels prior to the
end of the policy. If the policy is cancelled, our commissions are forfeited as a percent of the
unearned premium. As a result, we recognize the commissions related to these services ratably over
the policy term as the associated premiums are earned.
On Premise Revenue
Revenue from our on premise software solutions is comprised of an annual term license, which
includes maintenance and support. Customers can renew their annual term license for additional
one-year terms at renewal price levels. We recognize the annual term license on a straight-line
basis over the contract term.
In addition, we have arrangements that include perpetual licenses with maintenance and other
services to be provided over a fixed term. We allocate and defer revenue equivalent to the VSOE of
fair value for the undelivered elements and recognize the difference between the total arrangement
fee and the amount deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. We have determined that we do
not have VSOE of fair value for our customer support and professional services in these specific
arrangements. As a result, the elements within our multiple-element sales agreements do not qualify
for treatment as separate units of accounting. Accordingly, we account for fees received under
multiple-element arrangements with customer support or other professional services as a single unit
of accounting and recognize the entire arrangement ratably over the longer of the customer support
period or the period during which professional services are rendered.
Professional and Other Revenue
Professional & other revenue is recognized as the services are rendered for time and material
contracts. Training revenues are recognized after the services are performed.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Our cash accounts are maintained at various financial institutions and may, from time to time,
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable result from substantially
all of our customers being in the multi-family rental housing market. Our customers, however, are
dispersed across different geographic areas. We do not require collateral from customers. We
maintain an allowance for losses based upon the expected collectability of accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable are written off upon determination of non-collectability following established
Company policies based on the aging from the accounts receivable invoice date.
No single customer accounted for 5% or more of our revenue or accounts receivable for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive (loss) or income. Other
comprehensive (loss) or income is comprised of foreign currency translation gains and losses. Our
comprehensive loss was as follows for the periods presented:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29 Business Combinations (Topic 805)Disclosure
of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (ASU 2010-29) effective
prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) business combinations
entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted.
This accounting standard update clarifies SEC registrants presenting comparative financial
statements should disclose in their pro forma information revenue and earnings of the combined
entity as though the current period business combinations had occurred as of the beginning of the
comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma
disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma
adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma
revenue and earnings. We have adopted ASU 2010-29 within the first quarter of 2011. These
requirements will change our annual pro forma disclosures for acquisitions which have historically
included the impact on all comparable periods. ASU 2010-29 also changes our annual and quarterly
pro forma disclosures to include a description and the related amount of material adjustments made
to pro forma results as seen in Note 3 herein.
3. Acquisitions
2010 Acquisitions
In November 2010, we acquired certain of the assets of Level One, LLC and L1 Technology, LLC
(collectively Level One), subsidiaries of IAS Holdings, LLC, for approximately $61.9 million,
which included a cash payment of $53.9 million at closing and a deferred payment of up to
approximately $8.0 million, payable in cash or the issuance of our common stock eighteen months
after the acquisition date. The acquisition of Level One further expanded our ability to provide on
demand leasing center services. To facilitate the acquisition, we borrowed $30.0 million on our
delayed draw term loans and utilized $24.0 million of the net proceeds from our initial public
offering. Acquired intangibles were recorded at fair value based on assumptions made by us. The
acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years amortized on a
straight-line basis. Acquired customer relationships have a useful life of nine years which will be
amortized proportionately to the expected discounted cash flows derived from the asset. The
tradenames acquired have an indefinite useful life as we do not plan to cease using the tradenames
in the marketplace. All direct acquisition costs were approximately $0.4 million and expensed as
incurred. We included the results of operations of this acquisition in our consolidated financial
statements from the effective date of the acquisition. Goodwill associated with this acquisition is
deductible for tax purposes.
In July 2010, we purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of eReal Estate Integration, Inc.
(eREI) for approximately $8.6 million, net of cash acquired, which included a cash payment of
$3.8 million and an estimated cash payment payable upon the achievement of certain revenue targets
(acquisition-related contingent consideration) and the issuance of 499,999 restricted common
shares, which vest as certain revenue targets are achieved as defined in the purchase agreement. At
the acquisition date, we recorded a liability for the estimated fair value of the
acquisition-related contingent consideration of $0.8 million. In addition, we recorded the fair
value of the restricted common shares of $3.3 million. These fair values were based on managements
estimate of the fair value of the cash and the restricted common shares using a probability
weighted discounted cash flow model on the achievement of certain revenue targets. The cash payment
and the related restricted common shares have a maximum value of $1.8 million and $4.4 million,
respectively. This acquisition was financed from proceeds from our revolving line of credit and
cash flows from operations. The acquisition of eREI improved our lead management and lead
syndication capabilities. Acquired intangibles were recorded at fair value based on assumptions
made by us. The acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years amortized
on a straight-line basis. Acquired customer relationships have a useful life of ten years which
will be amortized proportionately to the expected discounted cash flows derived from the asset. The
tradenames acquired have an indefinite useful life as we do not plan to cease using the tradenames
in the marketplace. All direct acquisition costs were approximately $0.1 million and expensed as
incurred. We included the results of operations of this acquisition in our consolidated financial
statements from the effective date of the acquisition. Goodwill associated with this transaction
is not deductible for tax purposes. The liability established for the acquisition-related
contingent consideration will continue to be re-evaluated and recorded at an estimated fair value
based on the probabilities, as determined by management, of achieving the related targets. This
evaluation will be performed until all of the targets have been met or
terms of the agreement expire. As of March 31, 2011, our liability for the estimated cash
payment was $1.0 million. During the first quarter 2011, we recognized costs of $0.1 million due to
changes in the estimated fair value of the cash acquisition-related contingent consideration.
8
In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Domin-8 Enterprise Solutions, Inc. (Domin-8).
The acquisition of these assets improved our ability to serve our multi-family clients with mixed
portfolios that include smaller, centrally-managed apartment communities. The aggregate purchase
price at closing was $12.9 million, net of cash acquired, which was paid upon acquisition of the
assets. We acquired deferred revenue as a contractual obligation, which was recorded at its
assessed fair value of $4.5 million. The fair value of the deferred revenue was determined based on
estimated costs to support acquired contracts plus a reasonable margin. The acquired intangibles
were recorded at fair value based on assumptions made by us. The customer relationships have useful
lives of approximately six years and are amortized in proportion to the estimated cash flows
derived from the relationship. Acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three
years and are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life. We have determined that the
tradename has an indefinite life, as we anticipate keeping the tradename for the foreseeable future
given its recognition in the marketplace. Approximately $1.6 million of transaction costs related
to this acquisition were expensed as incurred. We included the operating results of this
acquisition in our consolidated results of operations from the effective date of the acquisition.
This acquisition was financed from the proceeds from the amended credit agreement (See Note 6) and
cash flow from operations. This acquisition made immediately available product offerings that
complemented our existing products. We accounted for the acquisition by allocating the total
consideration to the fair value of assets received and liabilities assumed. Goodwill associated
with this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.
We allocated the purchase price for Level One, eREI and Domin-8 as follows:

2009 Acquisitions
In September 2009, we purchased substantially all of the assets of Evergreen Solutions, Inc.
(Evergreen). The acquisition of Evergreen further advanced our ability to offer open access to
our products for clients and certified partners, and improves our ability to offer integration of
our products and services with third-party solutions. The aggregate purchase price at closing was
$0.9 million, which included a cash payment of $0.7 million and the fair value of contingent
consideration of $0.2 million, which was paid in March 2010 and is based on the collection of
pre-acquisition accounts receivable balances from customers. The $0.2 million was recorded within
the current portion of acquisition related liabilities on the balance sheet at December 31, 2009.
The customer relationships have useful lives of four years and are amortized in proportion to the
estimated cash flows derived from the relationship. We have determined that the tradename has an
indefinite life, as we anticipate keeping the tradename for the foreseeable future given its
recognition in the marketplace. All direct acquisition costs were immaterial and expensed as
incurred. We included the operating results of this acquisition in our consolidated results of
operations from the effective date of the acquisition.
In September 2009, we purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of A.L. Wizard, Inc. (ALW).
The acquisition of ALW immediately provided us with an application of on demand software and
services for residential property management customers who manage senior living properties. The
aggregate purchase price at closing was $2.8 million, net of cash acquired of $0.2 million, which
included a cash payment of $2.5 million upon acquisition and additional cash payments of $0.5
million, half of which is due on the first anniversary of the acquisition date and was paid in
September 2010, with the remaining amount due 18 months from the acquisition date. The $0.3 million
was recorded in acquisition-related liabilities on the balance sheet which was paid in 2010. We
acquired deferred revenue as a contractual obligation, which was recorded at its assessed fair
value of $0.5 million. The fair value was determined by incorporating the total cost to service the
revenue and a normal profit margin for the industry. The customer relationships have useful lives
of seven years and are amortized in proportion to the estimated cash flows derived from the
relationship. Acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years and are
amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life. We have determined that the tradename has
an indefinite life, as we anticipate keeping the tradename for the foreseeable future given its
recognition in the marketplace. All direct acquisition costs were immaterial and expensed as
incurred. We included the operating results of this acquisition in our consolidated results from
the effective date of the acquisition.
In November 2009, we purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of Propertyware, Inc.
(Propertyware). The acquisition of
Propertyware provided an entry into the single-family and small, centrally managed
multi-family property markets. The acquisition also expanded the breadth of products Propertyware
will make available to its residential property management customers. The aggregate purchase price
at closing was $11.9 million, net of cash acquired, which included a cash payment of $9.0 million
and additional cash payments of $0.5 million payable on the first anniversary of the acquisition
date and $0.5 million payable 18 months after the acquisition date. The $1.0 million was recorded
in acquisition-related liabilities on the balance sheet, of which $0.5 million was distributed
during 2010. In addition, the purchase price included the issuance of 500,000 restricted common
shares which vest as certain revenue targets are achieved as defined in the purchase agreement. The
fair value of these shares is estimated to be $2.2 million and is based on our managements
estimate of the fair value of the stock and the probability of the achievement of these revenue
targets. These shares have a maximum value of $2.5 million. We acquired deferred revenue as a
contractual obligation, which was recorded at its assessed fair value of $0.5 million. The acquired
intangibles were recorded at fair value based on assumptions made by us. The customer relationships
have useful lives of ten years and are amortized in proportion to the estimated cash flows derived
from the relationship. Acquired developed product technologies have a useful life of three years
and are amortized straight-line over the estimated useful life. We have determined that the
tradename has an indefinite life, as we anticipate keeping the tradename for the foreseeable future
given its recognition in the marketplace. All direct acquisition costs were immaterial and expensed
as incurred. We included the operating results of this acquisition in our consolidated results of
operations from the effective date of the acquisition.
9
We made each of these acquisitions because of the immediate availability of product offerings
that complemented our existing products. We accounted for the Evergreen, ALW and Propertyware
acquisitions by allocating the total consideration, including the fair value of contingent
consideration to the fair value of assets received and liabilities assumed. Goodwill associated
with the Evergreen acquisition is deductible for tax purposes; however, the goodwill associated
with the ALW and Propertyware acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.
We allocated the purchase prices for Evergreen, ALW and Propertyware as follows:

Pro Forma Results of Acquisitions
The following table presents unaudited actual results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and pro forma results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as if
the Domin-8, eREI and Level One acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the prior year
presented. The pro forma financial information includes the business combination accounting effects
resulting from these acquisitions including approximately $1.7 million of amortization charges from
acquired intangible assets and approximately $0.4 million of an income tax benefit for the related
tax effects as though the aforementioned companies were combined as of the beginning of fiscal year
2010. We prepared the pro forma financial information for the combined entities for comparative
purposes only, and it is not indicative of what actual results would have been if the acquisitions
had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented, or of future results.

Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets was $3.6 million and $1.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
6. Debt
Term Loan
At December 31, 2010, under the terms of our amended credit agreement, the term loan and
revolving line of credit bear interest at a stated rate of 3.5% plus LIBOR, or a stated rate of
0.75% plus Wells Fargos prime rate (or, if greater, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or three
month LIBOR plus 1.0%). Interest on the term loans and the revolver is payable monthly, or for
LIBOR loans, at the end of the applicable 1-, 2-, or 3-month interest period. Principal payments on
the term loan are paid in quarterly installments equal to 3.75% of the principal amount of term
loans, with the balance of all term loans and the revolver due on June 30, 2014. Debt issuance
costs incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement are deferred and amortized over the
remaining term of the arrangement.
In February 2011, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement. Under terms of the
February 2011 amendment, our revolving line of credit was increased from $10.0 million to $37.0
million. In addition, the interest rates on the term loan and revolving line of credit vary
dependent on defined leverage ratios and range from a stated rate of 2.75% 3.25% plus LIBOR or a
stated rate of 0.0% 0.5% plus Wells Fargos prime rate (or, if greater, the federal funds
rate plus 0.5% or three month LIBOR plus 1.0%). Principal payments on the term loan and outstanding
revolver balance remain consistent with our amended credit agreement.
As of March 31, 2011, we have total outstanding debt of $63.3 million and $37.0 million
available under our revolving line of credit. We have unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.9
million and $1.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of March 31,
2011, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.
11
7. Share-based Compensation
On March 1, 2011, we granted 449,850 options with an exercise price of $24.03 which vest over
four years with 75% vesting over 15 quarters and the remaining 25% vesting on the 16th
quarter. We also granted 299,900 shares of restricted stock at $24.03 which vest ratably over four
years. Both stock options and restricted stock were granted under the 2010 Equity Plan.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantor Arrangements
We have agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or
occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The
term of the indemnification period is for the officer or directors lifetime. The maximum potential
amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is
unlimited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that limits our exposure and
enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy
coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal.
Accordingly, we had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2011 or December
31, 2010.
In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into standard indemnification provisions in
our agreements with our customers. Pursuant to these provisions, we indemnify our customers for
losses suffered or incurred in connection with third-party claims that our products infringed upon
any U.S. patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right. Where applicable, we
generally limit such infringement indemnities to those claims directed solely to our products and
not in combination with other software or products. With respect to our products, we also generally
reserve the right to resolve such claims by designing a non-infringing alternative, by obtaining a
license on reasonable terms, or by terminating our relationship with the customer and refunding the
customers fees.
The potential amount of future payments to defend lawsuits or settle indemnified claims under
these indemnification provisions is unlimited in certain agreements; however, we believe the
estimated fair value of these indemnity provisions is minimal, and, accordingly, we had no
liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.
Litigation
From time to time, in the normal course of our business, we are a party to litigation matters
and claims. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the
results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and our view of these matters may
change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. We expense legal fees as
incurred. Insurance recoveries associated with legal costs incurred are recorded when they are deemed probable of recovery. We record a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability has
been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable outcome in any
legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on our operations, financial position,
liquidity and results of operations.
On January 24, 2011, Yardi Systems, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California against RealPage, Inc. and DC Consulting, Inc. On March 28, 2011, we
filed an answer and counterclaims. This case is at an early stage and we are not able to predict
its outcome.
We are involved in other litigation matters not listed above but we do not consider the
matters to be material either individually or in the aggregate at this time. Our view of the
matters not listed may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.
9. Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for
participating securities. In August 2010, all of the Companys outstanding redeemable convertible
preferred stock converted into common stock in connection with our IPO. Prior to the conversion,
holders of Series A Preferred, Series A1 Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred were
each entitled to receive 8% per annum cumulative dividends, payable prior and in preference to any
dividends on any other shares of our
capital stock. In the event a dividend was paid on common stock, holders of Series A
Preferred, Series A1 Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and non-vested restricted
stock were entitled to a proportionate share of any such dividend as if they were holders of common
shares (on an as-if converted basis). Holders of Series A Preferred, Series A1 Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred and non-vested restricted stock did not share in loss of the Company.
12
For the period prior to the conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, net loss
per share information is computed using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic net
income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is determined by allocating
undistributed earnings, calculated as net loss less current period Series A Preferred, Series A1
Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred cumulative dividends, between the holders of
common stock and Series A Preferred, Series A1 Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C
Preferred. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by using
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including potential dilutive shares of
common stock assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock
method. Weighted average shares from common share equivalents in the amount of 3,811,265 shares and
1,121,480 shares were excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding because their effect was
anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

to common stockholders:

10. Income Taxes
We make estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement
purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and
liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for
tax and financial statement purposes.
Our tax provision for interim periods is derived using an estimate of our annual effective
rate, adjusted for any material items.
11. Subsequent Event
In May 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Compliance Depot, LLC (Compliance
Depot) for approximately $22.4 million in cash. The acquisition of Compliance Depot expands our
ability to provide vendor risk management and compliance software solutions for the rental housing industry.
Due to the timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation was not complete as of the
date of this filing due to the pending completion of the valuation of intangible assets.

Overview
RealPage, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, (the Company or we or us)
is a leading provider of on demand software solutions for the rental housing industry. Our broad
range of property management solutions enables owners and managers of single-family and a wide
variety of multi-family rental property types to manage their marketing, pricing, screening,
leasing, accounting, purchasing and other property operations. Our on demand software solutions are
delivered through an integrated software platform that provides a single point of access and a
shared repository of prospect, resident and property data. By integrating and streamlining a wide
range of complex processes and interactions among the rental housing ecosystem of owners, managers,
prospects, residents and service providers, our platform helps optimize the property management
process and improves the experience for all of these constituents.
Our solutions enable property owners and managers to increase revenues and reduce operating
costs through higher occupancy, improved pricing methodologies, new sources of revenue from
ancillary services, improved collections and more integrated and centralized processes. As of March 31,
2011, over 7,000 customers used one or more of our on demand software solutions to help manage
the operations of approximately 6.2 million rental housing units. Our customers include nine of the
ten largest multi-family property management companies in the United States, ranked as of January 1,
2010 by the National Multi Housing Council, based on number of units managed.
We sell our solutions through our direct sales organization.
Our total revenues were
approximately $57.5 million and $41.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. In the same periods, we had operating (loss) income of approximately ($21 thousand) and
$1.1 million, respectively, and net loss of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million,
respectively.
Our company was formed in 1998 to acquire Rent Roll, Inc., which marketed and sold on premise
property management systems for the conventional and affordable multi-family rental housing
markets. In June 2001, we released OneSite, our first on demand property management system. Since
2002, we have expanded our on demand software solutions to include a number of software-enabled
value-added services that provide complementary sales and marketing, asset optimization, risk
mitigation, billing and utility management and spend management capabilities. In connection with
this expansion, we have allocated greater resources to the development and infrastructure needs of
developing and increasing sales of our suite of on demand software solutions. In addition, since
July 2002, we have completed 16 acquisitions of complementary technologies to supplement our
internal product development and sales and marketing efforts and expand the scope of our solutions,
the types of rental housing properties served by our solutions and our customer base.
On July 22, 2010, the board of directors approved an amended and restated certificate of
incorporation that effected a reverse stock split of every two outstanding shares of preferred
stock and common stock into one share of preferred stock or common stock, respectively. The par
value of the common and convertible preferred stock was not adjusted as a result of the reverse
stock split. All issued and outstanding common stock, restricted stock, convertible preferred
stock, and warrants for common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements
have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented. The
reverse stock split was effected on July 23, 2010.
On August 11, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No 333-166397) relating to
our initial public offering was declared effective by the SEC. We sold 6,000,000 shares of common
stock in our initial public offering. Our common stock began trading on August 12, 2010 on the
NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market under the symbol RP, and the offering closed on August 17,
2010. Upon closing of our initial public offering, all outstanding shares of our convertible
preferred stock, including a portion of accrued but unpaid dividends on our outstanding shares of
Series A, Series A1 and Series B convertible preferred stock, were converted into 29,567,952 shares
of common stock.
14
On December 6, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No 333-170667) relating to a
public stock offering was declared effective by the SEC. We sold an additional 4,000,000 shares of
common stock in the offering. The offering closed on December 10, 2010.
Recent Acquisitions
In February 2010, we acquired the assets of Domin-8 Enterprise Solutions, Inc (Domin-8). The
acquisition of these assets improved our ability to serve our multi-family clients with mixed
portfolios that include smaller, centrally-managed apartment communities. The aggregate purchase
price at closing was $12.9 million, net of cash acquired, which was paid upon acquisition of the
assets.
In July 2010, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of eReal Estate Integration, Inc.
(eREI). eREIs core products provide phone and Internet lead tracking and lead management
services, as well as syndication services that push property content to search engines, Internet
listing services and classified listed websites. The addition of these products improved our lead
management and lead syndication capabilities within our CrossFire product family. The purchase
price of eREI was approximately $8.6 million, which included a cash payment of $3.8 million at
close, an estimated cash payment payable upon the achievement of certain revenue targets and the
issuance of 499,999 restricted common shares, which vest as certain revenue targets are achieved,
as defined in the purchase agreement.
In November 2010, we acquired certain of the assets of Level One, LLC and L1 Technology, LLC,
(Level One), subsidiaries of IAS Holdings, LLC. Level One services property management companies
by providing centralized lead capture services designed to enable owners to lease more apartments,
reduce overall marketing spend and free up on-site leasing staff. We are in the process of
integrating Level One with our CrossFire product family. We continue to market the Level One
brand. Level Ones services are utilized in the management of approximately one million rental
property units. The purchase price of Level One was approximately $61.9 million, which included a
cash payment of $53.9 million and a deferred payment of up to approximately $8.0 million, payable
in cash or the issuance of our common stock eighteen months after the acquisition date. To
facilitate the acquisition, we borrowed $30.0 million under our delayed draw term loans and
utilized $24.0 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering.
In May 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Compliance Depot LLC (Compliance
Depot) for approximately $22.4 million in cash. The acquisition of Compliance Depot expands our
ability to provide vendor risk management and compliance software solutions for the rental housing industry.
Interfacing with vendors through a branded platform, Compliance Depot allows property managers and
owners to: track compliance with vendor obligations to carry workers compensation and general
liability insurance, identify vendor bankruptcy filings, liens, criminal records, collections and
professional license verification, confirm federal regulation compliance, such as The Patriot Act;
as well as manage contractual agreements and federal and state tax documents. Due to the timing
of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation was not complete as of the date of this filing
due to the pending completion of the valuation of intangible assets.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs
and expenses and related disclosures. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical
experience or on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate under the
circumstances. We reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis.
Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates
We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant
judgments, assumptions and estimates, and therefore, could have the greatest potential impact on
our condensed consolidated financial statements:
|
|
|
Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives; |
|
|
|
Impairment of long-lived assets |
|
|
|
Stock-based compensation; |
|
|
|
Capitalized product development costs. |
A full discussion of our critical accounting policies, which involve significant management
judgment, appears in our Form
10-K under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
OperationsCritical Accounting Policies and Estimates. For further information regarding our
business, industry trends, accounting policies and estimates, and risks and uncertainties, refer to
our Form 10-K.
15
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive our revenue from three primary sources: our on demand software solutions; our on
premise software solutions; and our professional and other services.
On demand revenue. Revenue from our on demand software solutions is comprised of license and
subscription fees for accessing our on demand software solutions, typically licensed for one year
terms, commission income for sales of renters insurance policies, and transaction fees for certain
on demand software solutions, such as payment processing, spend management and billing services. We
typically price our on demand software solutions based primarily on the number of units the
customer manages with our solutions. For our insurance and transaction-based solutions, we price
based on a fixed commission rate of earned premiums or a fixed rate per transaction, respectively.
On premise revenue. Our on premise software solutions are distributed to our customers and
maintained locally on the customers hardware. Revenue from our on premise software solutions is
comprised of license fees under term and perpetual license agreements. Typically, we have licensed
our on premise software solutions pursuant to term license agreements with an initial term of one
year that includes maintenance and support. Customer can renew their term license agreement for
additional one-year terms at renewal price levels. In February 2010, we completed a strategic
acquisition of assets that include on premise software solutions that were historically marketed
and sold pursuant to perpetual license agreements and related maintenance agreements.
We no longer actively market our on premise software solutions to new customers, and only
license our on premise software solutions to a small portion of our existing on premise customers
as they expand their portfolio of rental housing properties. While we intend to support our
recently acquired on premise software solutions, we expect that many of the customers who license
these solutions will transition to our on demand software solutions over time.
Professional and other revenue. Revenue from professional and other services consists of
consulting and implementation services, training and other ancillary services. Professional and
other services engagements are typically time and material based.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to our operations, support
services, training and implementation services, expenses related to the operation of our data
center and fees paid to third-party service providers. Personnel costs include salaries, bonuses,
stock-based compensation and employee benefits. Cost of revenue also includes an allocation of
facilities costs, overhead costs and depreciation, as well as amortization of acquired technology
related to strategic acquisitions and amortization of capitalized development costs. We allocate
facilities, overhead costs and depreciation based on headcount.
Operating Expenses
We classify our operating expenses into three categories: product development, sales and
marketing, and general and administrative. Our operating expenses primarily consist of personnel
costs, which include compensation, employee benefits and payroll taxes, costs for third-party
contracted development, marketing, legal, accounting and consulting services and other professional
service fees. Personnel costs for each category of operating expenses include salaries, bonuses,
stock-based compensation and employee benefits for employees in that category. In addition, our
operating expenses include an allocation of our facilities costs, overhead costs and depreciation
based on headcount for that category, as well as amortization of purchased intangible assets
resulting from our acquisitions.
Product development. Product development expense consists primarily of personnel costs for
our product development employees and executives and fees to contract development vendors. Our
product development efforts are focused primarily on increasing the functionality and enhancing the
ease of use of our on demand software solutions and expanding our suite of on demand software
solutions. In 2008, we established a product development and service center in Hyderabad, India to
take advantage of strong technical talent at lower personnel costs compared to the United States.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs for
our sales, marketing and business development employees and executives, travel and entertainment
and marketing programs. Marketing programs consist of advertising, tradeshows, user conferences,
public relations, industry sponsorships and affiliations and product marketing. Additionally,
sales and marketing expense includes amortization of certain purchased intangible assets,
including customer relationships and key vendor and supplier relationships obtained in connection
with our acquisitions.
16
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists of personnel costs for
our executive, finance and accounting, human resources, management information systems and legal
personnel, as well as legal, accounting and other professional service fees and other corporate
expenses.
Key Business Metrics
In addition to traditional financial measures, we monitor our operating performance using a
number of financially and non-financially derived metrics that are not included in our condensed
consolidated financial statements. We monitor the key performance indicators as follows:
On demand revenue. This metric represents the license and subscription fees for accessing our
on demand software solutions, typically licensed for one year terms, commission income from sales
of renters insurance policies and transaction fees for certain of our on demand software
solutions. We consider on demand revenue to be a key business metric because we believe the market
for our on demand software solutions represents the largest growth opportunity for our business.
On demand revenue as a percentage of total revenue. This metric represents on demand revenue
for the period presented divided by total revenue for the same period. We use on demand revenue as
a percentage of total revenue to measure our success in executing our strategy to increase the
penetration of our on demand software solutions and expand our recurring revenue streams
attributable to these solutions. We expect our on demand revenue to remain a significant percentage
of our total revenue although the actual percentage may vary from period to period due to a number
of factors, including the timing of acquisitions, professional and other revenue and on premise
perpetual license sales and maintenance fees resulting from our February 2010 acquisition.
Ending on demand units. This metric represents the number of rental housing units managed by
our customers with one or more of our on demand software solutions at the end of the period. We use
ending on demand units to measure the success of our strategy of increasing the number of rental
housing units managed with our on demand software solutions. Property unit counts are provided to
us by our customers as new sales orders are processed. Property unit counts may be adjusted
periodically as information related to our customers properties is updated or supplemented, which
could result in adjusting the number of units previously reported.
On demand revenue per average on demand unit. This metric represents on demand revenue for
the period presented divided by average on demand units for the same period. For interim periods,
the calculation is performed on an annualized basis. We calculate average on demand units as the
average of the beginning and ending on demand units for each quarter in the period presented. We
monitor this metric to measure our success in increasing the number of on demand software solutions
utilized by our customers to manage their rental housing units, our overall revenue and
profitability. On demand revenue per average on demand unit for the interim periods presented are
annualized.
Annual Customer Value (ACV). ACV represents the product of ending on demand units
multiplied by annualized on demand revenue per average on demand unit for the quarter and is our
estimate of the run-rate of recurring on demand revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA. We define this metric as net (loss) income plus depreciation and asset
impairment; amortization of intangible assets; interest expense, net; income tax expense (benefit);
stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense and purchase accounting adjustment.
We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance
because it excludes certain non-cash expenses, including depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation. In 2011, Adjusted EBITDA excludes litigation related expenses pertaining to the Yardi
litigation as discussed in Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings. Adjusted EBITDA is not determined
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and
should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to financial measures determined in
accordance with GAAP. For further discussion regarding Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to net income, refer to Reconciliation of Quarterly Non-GAAP Financial Measures
herein. Our Adjusted EBITDA grew from approximately $7.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 2010 to approximately $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of
our efforts to expand market share and increase revenue.

On demand revenue. Our on demand revenue increased $15.7 million, or 42.3%, for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to same period in 2010, primarily due to an increase in
rental property units managed with our on demand solutions and an increase in the number of our on
demand solutions utilized by our existing customer base, combined with revenue contributed from our
2010 strategic acquisitions.
On premise revenue. On premise revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 11.9%, for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. We no longer actively market our on
premise software solutions to new customers, and only license our on premise software solutions to
a small portion of our existing on premise customers as they expand their portfolio of rental
housing properties. While we continue to support our recently acquired on premise software
solutions, we expect that many of the customers who license these solutions will transition to our
on demand software solutions over time. As a result, our on premise revenue has declined during
the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. We expect this trend
to continue.
Professional and other revenue. Professional and other services revenue increased $0.7
million, or 28.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in
2010, primarily due to an increase in revenue from consulting services.
Total revenue. Our total revenue increased $16.2 million, or 39.1%, for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to an increase in rental
property units managed with our on demand solutions and improved penetration of our on demand
solutions into our existing customer base.
On demand unit metrics. As of March 31, 2011, one or more of our on demand solutions was
utilized in the management of 6.2 million rental property units, representing an increase of 1.2
million units, or 25.4% as compared to March 31, 2010. The increase in the number of rental
property units managed by one or more of our on demand solutions was due to new customer sales and
marketing efforts and our 2010 acquisitions contributing approximately 8.9% of ending on demand
units as of March 31, 2011.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our annualized on demand revenue per average on
demand unit was $34.64 representing an increase of $3.19, or 10.1%, as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to improved penetration of our on demand solutions into our
customer base and revenue contributed from our 2010 strategic acquisitions.

Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue increased $6.8 million, or 38.2%, for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in cost of revenue was
primarily due to: a $1.1 million increase from costs related to investments in infrastructure and
other support services to support the increased sales of our solutions; a $4.6 million increase in
personnel expense of which $2.8 million was added as a result of our eREI and Level One
acquisitions; a $0.7 million increase in non-cash amortization of acquired technology as a result
of our eREI and Level One acquisitions; a $0.2 million increase in property and equipment
depreciation expense resulting from expanding our infrastructure to support revenue delivery
activities; and a $0.2 million increase in stock-based compensation related to our professional
services and datacenter operations personnel. Cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue was
42.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to 43.2% for the same period in 2010.
The decrease as a percentage of total revenue was primarily the result of leveraging our fixed cost
base, which was partially offset by an increase in non-cash amortization of acquired technology as
a result of our eREI and Level One acquisitions.

One acquisitions; and a $0.5 million increase in stock-based compensation related to product
development personnel offset by a $0.1 million decrease in other general product development
expense.

Sales and marketing. Total sales and marketing expense increased $5.3 million, or 69.7%, for

personnel expense of which $0.8 million was added as a result of our eREI and Level One
acquisitions; a $1.1 million increase in non-cash amortization of acquired technology as a result

General and administrative. Total general and administrative expense increased $3.3 million,
or 49.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. The
increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to: a $1.0 million increase in
personnel expense related to accounting, management information systems, internal audit, business
development, legal, and human resources staff to support the growth in our business as well as
provide the necessary organizational structure to support public company requirements; a $0.5
million increase in professional fees; a $0.4 million increase in facilities expense primarily as a
result of our eREI and Level One acquisitions; a $0.5 million increase in stock-based compensation
related to general and administrative personnel; a $0.3 million increase in legal expenses related to the Yardi litigation; and a $0.6 million increase in other general and
administrative expense.
Interest Expense and Other, Net
Interest expense and other, net, decreased $0.3 million, or 20.4%, for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease
associated with the early extinguishment of our preferred stockholder notes payable in connection
with our initial public offering combined with the effect of lower interest rates under our amended
credit agreement. See Long-term Debt Obligations for further discussion regarding our amended
credit agreement. This decrease was offset by an increase in other losses of $0.4 million related
to the sale of a non-operating asset held for sale.
20
Provision for Taxes
We compute our provision for income taxes on a quarterly basis by applying the estimated
annual effective tax rate to income from recurring operations and other taxable items. Our
provision for income taxes of $(0.5) million in the first quarter of 2011 consists primarily of the
U.S. federal benefit of net losses before taxes, foreign taxes and various state taxes that are
considered income taxes for financial reporting purposes but are assessed on adjusted gross revenue
rather than adjusted net income.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus depreciation and asset impairment, amortization of
intangible assets, interest expense, net, income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense,
acquisition-related expense and purchase accounting adjustment. In 2011, Adjusted EBITDA excludes
litigation related expenses pertaining to the Yardi litigation as discussed in Part II, Item 1
Legal Proceedings. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other
users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them
with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We
believe that:
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA provides investors and other users of our financial
information consistency and comparability with our past financial
performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations
and facilitates comparisons with our peer companies, many of which use
similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results;
and |
|
|
|
|
it is useful to exclude certain non-cash charges, such as depreciation
and asset impairment, amortization of intangible assets and
stock-based compensation and non-core operational charges, such as
acquisition-related expense, from Adjusted EBITDA because the amount
of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to
the underlying performance of our business operations and these
expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new
acquisitions, full amortization of previously acquired tangible and
intangible assets or the timing of new stock-based awards, as the case
may be. |
We use Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as
part of our overall assessment of our performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation
of our annual operating budget, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to
communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance.
We do not place undue reliance on Adjusted EBITDA as our only measure of operating
performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of
liquidity or financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations to using
non-GAAP financial measures, including that other companies may calculate these measures
differently than we do, that they do not reflect our capital expenditures or future requirements
for capital expenditures and that they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our
working capital. We compensate for the inherent limitations associated with using the Adjusted
EBITDA measures through disclosure of these limitations, presentation of our financial statements
in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP
measure, net income.
The following provides a reconciliation of net (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August 11, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-166397) relating to
our initial public offering was declared effective by the SEC. We sold 6,000,000 shares of common
stock in our initial public offering, resulting in proceeds, net of transaction expenses, of $57.5
million. On December 3, 2010, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No 333-170667) relating
to a public stock offering was declared effective by the SEC. We sold an additional 4,000,000
shares of common stock in the offering resulting in net proceeds, net of transaction expenses, of
$98.4 million.
Our primary sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2011 consisted of $124.2 million of cash and
cash equivalents, $37.0 million available under our revolving line of credit and $7.6 million of
current assets less current liabilities (excluding $124.2 of cash and cash equivalents and $47.7
million of deferred revenue).
Our principal uses of liquidity have been to fund our operations, working capital
requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions and to service our debt obligations. We expect
that working capital requirements, capital expenditures and acquisitions will continue to be our
principal needs for liquidity over the near term. In addition, we have made several acquisitions in
which a portion of the cash purchase price is payable at various times through 2014.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, working capital (excluding deferred
revenue and cash and cash equivalents) and our cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to
fund our operations and planned capital expenditures and service our debt obligations for at least
the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate
of revenue growth, the timing and size of acquisitions, the expansion of our sales and marketing
activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the timing of
introductions of new solutions and enhancements to existing solutions and the continuing market
acceptance of our solutions. We may enter into acquisitions of, complementary businesses,
applications or technologies, in the future, which could require us to seek additional equity or
debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
In the three months ended March 31, 2011, we generated $9.3 million of net cash from operating
activities, which consisted of a net loss of $0.6 million and changes in working capital of $1.4
million, offset by net non-cash income of $11.6 million representing an increase of $5.9 million or
101.7%, compared to the same period in 2010. Net non-cash charges to income primarily consisted of
depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expense. The $1.4 million use of operating
cash flow resulting from the changes in working capital was primarily due to payments of accrued
benefits and other current liabilities, offset by general timing differences in other current
assets and accounts payable.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
In the three months ended March 31, 2011, our investing activities used $2.1 million.
Investing activities consisted of acquisition-related payments of $0.1 million for commitments
related to prior years acquisitions and $2.0 million of capital expenditures. The decrease in cash
used in investing activities as of March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010 relates to the
consideration paid net of cash acquired for our first quarter 2010 acquisition combined with a
decrease in capital spending year over year.
Capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were primarily related
to investments in technology infrastructure to support our growth initiatives.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Our financing activities used $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011,
representing a decrease of $8.2 million, as compared to the same period of 2010. Cash used in
financing activities as of March 31, 2011 was primarily due to aggregate principal payments of $2.7
million for scheduled term debt maturities, capital lease payments of $0.3 million and payments
related to our public offering costs of $0.8 million offset by net proceeds of $2.9 million from
stock issuances under our stock based compensation plans.
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
was used to support our operations until we achieved positive operating cash flow, as a funding
source for acquisitions and for capital expenditures related to the expansion of our technology
infrastructure.
22
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations relate primarily to borrowings and interest payments under credit
facilities, capital leases, operating leases and purchase obligations. There have been no material
changes in our contractual obligations from our disclosures within our Form 10-K.
Long-Term Debt Obligations
At December 31, 2010, under the terms of our amended credit agreement, the term loan and
revolving line of credit bear interest at a stated rate of 3.5% plus LIBOR, or a stated rate of
0.75% plus Wells Fargos prime rate (or, if greater, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or three
month LIBOR plus 1.0%). Interest on the term loans and the revolver is payable monthly, or for
LIBOR loans, at the end of the applicable 1-, 2-, or 3-month interest period. Principal payments on
the term loan will be paid in quarterly installments equal to 3.75% of the principal amount of term
loans, with the balance of all term loans and the revolver due on June 30, 2014. Debt issuance
costs incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement are deferred and amortized over the
remaining term of the arrangement.
In February 2011, we entered into an amendment to the credit agreement. Under terms of the
February 2011 amendment, our revolving line of credit was increased from $10.0 million to $37.0
million. In addition, the interest rates on the term loan and revolving line of credit vary
dependent on defined leverage ratios and range from a stated rate of 2.75% 3.25% plus LIBOR or a
stated rate of 0.0% 0.5% plus Wells Fargos prime rate (or, if greater, the federal funds rate
plus 0.5% or three month LIBOR plus 1.0%). Principal payments on the term loan and outstanding
revolver balance remain consistent with our amended credit agreement.
Our credit facility contains customary covenants which limit our and certain of our
subsidiaries ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or guarantee
indebtedness of others; create liens on our assets; enter into mergers or consolidations; dispose
of assets; prepay indebtedness or make changes to our governing documents and certain of our
agreements; pay dividends and make other distributions on our capital stock, and redeem and
repurchase our capital stock; make investments, including acquisitions; enter into transactions
with affiliates; and make capital expenditures. Our credit facility additionally contains customary
affirmative covenants, including requirements to, among other things, take certain actions in the
event we form or acquire new subsidiaries; hold annual meetings with our lenders; provide copies of
material contracts and amendments to our lenders; locate our collateral only at specified
locations; and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that certain material contracts
permits the assignment of the contract to our lenders; subject in each case to customary exceptions
and qualifications.
We are also required to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio, which is a ratio of our
EBITDA to our fixed charges as determined in accordance with the credit facility, of 1.25:1:00 as
of December 31, 2010 and each 12-month period thereafter, and a senior leverage ratio, which is a
ratio of the outstanding principal balance of our term loan plus our outstanding revolver usage to
our EBITDA as determined in accordance with the credit facility, of 1.85:1.00 for each period from
July 31, 2010 until October 31, 2010, then 2.35:1.00 for each period until December 31, 2010, with
step-downs until July 31, 2011, when the ratio is set at 1.50:1.00 for such period and thereafter.
Under terms of the February 2011 amendment, our senior leverage ratio must be at or below 2.75:1.00
for all fiscal quarters after December 31, 2010.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and we do not have any
relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often
referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which have been established for the
purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited
purposes.

Item 3. |

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse
changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of
fluctuations in interest rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $124.2 million and $118.0 million at March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, respectively.
We hold cash and cash equivalents for working capital purposes. We do not have material
exposure to market risk with respect to investments, as our investments consist primarily of highly
liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less. We do not use
derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes; however, we may adopt
specific hedging strategies in the future. Any declines in interest rates, however, will reduce
future interest income.
We had total outstanding debt of $63.3 million and $66.0 at March 31, 2011 and December 31,
2010, respectively. The interest rate on this debt is variable and adjusts periodically based on
the three-month LIBOR rate. If the LIBOR rate changes by 1%, our annual interest expense would
change by approximately $0.6 million.

Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our
management, and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon
that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Managements assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance because management recognizes that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving their objectives.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of the
Registered Accounting Firm
The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules requiring every
company that files reports with the SEC to include a management report on such companys internal
control over financial reporting in its annual report. In addition, our independent registered
public accounting firm must attest to our internal control over financial reporting. Our Form 10-K
does not include a report of managements assessment regarding internal control over financial
reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a
transition period established by SEC rules applicable to newly public companies. Management will be
required to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2011. We believe we will have adequate resources and expertise, both
internal and external, in place to meet this requirement. However, there is no guarantee that our
efforts will result in managements ability to conclude, or our independent registered public
accounting firm to attest, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as of
December 31, 2011.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no significant changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not
expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of
the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or
by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that
any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over
time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a
cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Legal Proceedings. |
From time to time, we have been and may be involved in various legal proceedings arising from
our ordinary course of business.
On January 24, 2011, Yardi Systems, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California against RealPage, Inc. and DC Consulting, Inc. The lawsuit alleges
claims for relief for violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, violation of the California
Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud Act, violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation and unfair competition. The plaintiff
alleges, among other things, that unnamed RealPage personnel used unauthorized passwords to
wrongfully gain access to and download confidential, trade secret, and copyrighted information
related to Yardi products from Yardis computer system. In its prayer for relief, Yardi Systems
seeks various remedies including unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On March 28, 2011, we
filed an answer and counterclaims in which we respond to Yardis claims and assert counterclaims
against Yardi for, among other things, misappropriation of trade secrets, violation of the Sherman
Act, violation of the California Cartwright Act, intentional interference with contract,
intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and unfair competition. We allege that
Yardi and its agents wrongfully obtained and used our trade secrets and engaged in anti-competitive
behavior with respect to certain of our clients. In our prayer for relief, we seek various remedies
including unspecified damages and injunctive relief. Because this lawsuit is at an early stage, it
is not possible to predict its outcome. We intend to defend this case and pursue our counterclaims
vigorously. However, even if we were successful in defending against Yardis claims or in
prevailing on our counterclaims, the proceedings could result in significant costs and divert our
managements attention.
On June 15, 2009, a prospective resident of one of our customers filed a class action lawsuit
styled Minor v. RealPage, Inc. against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California. By the parties mutual stipulation in August 2009, the action was transferred to the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (No. 4:09CV-00439). The plaintiff has alleged
two individual claims and three class-based causes of action against us. Individually, the
plaintiff alleges that we (i) willfully failed to employ reasonable procedures to ensure the
maximum accuracy of our resident screening reports as required by 15 U.S.C. § 1681e(b) and, in the
alternative, (ii) negligently (within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. § 1681o(a)) failed to employ
reasonable procedures to ensure the maximum accuracy of our resident screening reports, as required
by 15 U.S.C. § 1681e(b), in each case stemming from our provision of a report that allegedly
included inaccurate criminal conviction information. The plaintiff seeks actual, statutory and
punitive damages on her individual claims. In her capacity as the putative class representative,
the plaintiff also alleges that we: (i) willfully failed to provide legally mandated disclosures
upon a consumers request inconsistent with 15 U.S.C. § 1681g; (ii) willfully failed to provide
prompt notice of consumers disputes to the data furnishers who provided us with the information
whose accuracy was in question, as required by 15 U.S.C. §§ 1681i(a)(2); and (iii) willfully failed
to provide prompt notice of consumers disputes to the consumer reporting agencies providing us
with the information whose accuracy was in question, as required by 15 U.S.C. § 1681i(f). The
plaintiff sought certification of three separate classes in connection with these claims. The
plaintiff also sought statutory and punitive damages, a declaration that our practices and
procedures were in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and attorneys fees and costs. The
parties achieved a resolution of both Angela Minors individual claims, on November 29, 2010, as
well as the class-based claims at approximately the same time. Plaintiff filed her Motion for
Preliminary Approval, including the previously executed Settlement Agreement, with the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on January 6, 2011.
In January 2007, plaintiffs filed five separate but nearly identical class action lawsuits in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against more than 100 defendants. We were
named as a defendant in one of those actions, Taylor, et al. v. Safeway, Inc., et al. (No.
2:07-CV-00017). On March 4, 2008, the Court consolidated these actions with the lead case, Taylor,
et al. v. Acxiom Corp., et al. (No. 2:07-CV-00001). In their operative pleading, plaintiffs alleged
that we obtained and held motor vehicle records in bulk from the State of Texas, an allegedly
improper purpose in violation of the federal Drivers Privacy Protection Act, or the DPPA. In
addition, the plaintiffs alleged that we obtained these records for the purpose of re-selling them,
another allegedly improper purpose in violation of the DPPA. Plaintiffs further purported to
represent a putative class of approximately 20.0 million
individuals affected by the defendants alleged DPPA violations. They sought statutory damages
of $2,500 per each violation of the DPPA, punitive damages and an order requiring defendants to
destroy information obtained in violation of the DPPA. In September 2008, the U.S. District Court
dismissed plaintiffs complaint for failure to state a claim. The plaintiffs subsequently appealed
the dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The primary issue on appeal is
whether plaintiffs alleged any injury-in-fact that would give them standing to bring their claims.
Predicate issues include whether obtaining and merely holding data states a claim under the DPPA,
and whether re-selling data likewise states an actionable claim. In November 2009, the Fifth
Circuit heard oral argument on the appeal. In July 2010, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the U.S.
District Courts dismissal. The Plaintiff-Appellants filed a petition for certiorari with the
United States Supreme Court on October 12, 2010, seeking review of the Fifth Circuits decision,
and we received service of the petition on October 15, 2010. The Supreme Court of the United
States denied Taylors petition for certiorari on January 10, 2011.
25
In March 2010, the District Attorney of Ventura County, California issued an administrative
subpoena to us seeking certain information related to our provision of utility billing services in
the State of California. A representative of the District Attorney has informed us that the
subpoena was issued in connection with a general investigation of industry practices with respect
to utility billing in California. Utility billing is subject to regulation by state law and various
state administrative agencies, including, in California, the California Public Utility Commission,
or the CPUC, and the Division of Weights and Measures, or the DWM. We have provided the District
Attorney with the information requested in the subpoena. In late August 2010, we received limited,
follow-up requests for information to which we have responded. The District Attorneys office has
not initiated an administrative or other enforcement action against us, nor have they asserted any
violations of the applicable regulations by us. Given the early stage of this investigation, it is
difficult to predict its outcome and whether the District Attorney will pursue an administrative or
other enforcement action against us in the State of California and what the result of any such
action would be. However, penalties or assessments of violations of regulations promulgated by the
CPUC or DWM or other regulators may be calculated on a per occurrence basis. Due to the large
number of billing transactions we process for our customers in California, our potential liability
in an enforcement action could be significant. If the District Attorney ultimately pursues an
administrative or other enforcement action against us, we believe that we have meritorious defenses
to the potential claims and would defend them vigorously. However, even if we were successful in
defending against such claims, the proceedings could result in significant costs and divert
managements attention.
On November 17, 2010, a prospective resident of a Level One customer named us as a defendant
in a class action lawsuit styled Cohorst v. BRE Properties, Inc., et al. filed in the Superior
Court of the State of California, San Diego County, North County Division. The plaintiff alleges
that the defendants, pursuant to an alleged practice of monitoring and recording all inbound and
outbound telephone calls, monitored and recorded a telephone conversation with the plaintiff
without the plaintiffs knowledge and consent, when the plaintiff responded to an advertisement for
an apartment for rent. The putative class consists of all persons in California whose inbound or
outbound telephone conversations were monitored, recorded, eavesdropped upon and/or wiretapped by
the defendants without their consent during the four-year period commencing on November 12, 2006.
The plaintiff alleges four class-based causes of action consisting of (i) invasion of privacy in
violation of California Penal Code § 630, et seq.; (ii) common law invasion of privacy; (iii)
negligence; and (iv) unlawful, fraudulent and unfair business acts and practices in violation of
California Business & Professions Code § 17200, et seq. The plaintiff seeks statutory damages of at
least $5,000 per violation; disgorgement and restitution of any ill-gotten gains; general, special,
exemplary and punitive damages; injunctive relief; attorneys fees; costs of the suit and
prejudgment interest. The Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed RealPage on December 3, 2010 by filing a
Request for Dismissal with the Superior Court of the State of California, San Diego County, North
County Division. While the Request for Dismissal was pending, certain Defendants removed the case
to federal court, No. 3:10-CV-02666-JM-BGS. Accordingly, Plaintiff again attempted to dismiss
RealPage on December 29, 2010, and effected the dismissal by filing a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal
with the United States District Court for the Central District of California on January 3, 2011.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future,
which could cause our stock price to decline.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of
which are outside of our control. Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may be due to a
number of factors, including the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this filing. Some
of the important factors that could cause our revenues and operating results to fluctuate from
quarter to quarter include:
|
|
|
the extent to which on demand software solutions maintain current and achieve broader market acceptance; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to timely introduce enhancements to our existing solutions and new solutions; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to increase sales to existing customers and attract new customers; |
|
|
|
|
changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors; |
26
|
|
|
the variable nature of our sales and implementation cycles; |

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results or guidance that we provide may lead
analysts to change their long-term model for valuing our common stock, cause us to face
short-term liquidity issues, impact our ability to retain or attract key personnel or cause other
unanticipated issues, all of which could cause our stock price to decline. As a result of the
potential variations in our quarterly revenue and operating results, we believe that
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenues and operating results may not be meaningful and
the results of any one quarter should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
We have a history of operating losses and may not maintain profitability in the future.
We have not been consistently profitable on a quarterly or annual basis. Although we have
net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we experienced net losses of $3.2
million and $3.1 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net income for 2009 included a discrete
tax benefit of approximately $27.0 million as a result of our net deferred tax assets valuation
allowance. As of March 31, 2011, our accumulated deficit was $90.4 million. While we have
experienced significant growth over recent quarters, we may not be able to sustain or increase
our growth or profitability in the future. We expect to make significant future expenditures
related to the development and expansion of our business. As a result of increased general and
administrative expenses due to the additional operational and reporting costs associated with
being a public company, we will need to generate and sustain increased revenue to achieve future
profitability expectations. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of
reasons, including the other risks and uncertainties described in this filing. Additionally, we
may encounter unforeseen operating expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other
unknown factors that may result in losses in future periods. If these losses exceed our
expectations or our growth expectations are not met in future periods, our financial performance
will be affected adversely.
27
If we are unable to manage the growth of our diverse and complex operations, our financial
performance may suffer.
The growth in the size, dispersed geographic locations, complexity and diversity of our
business and the expansion of our product lines and customer base has placed, and our anticipated
growth may continue to place, a significant strain on our managerial, administrative,
operational, financial and other resources. We increased our number of employees from 532 as of
December 31, 2006 to 1,764 as of March 31, 2011. We increased our number of on demand customers
from 1,469 as of December 31, 2006 to over 7,000 as of March 31, 2011. We increased the number of
on demand product centers that we offer from 20 as of December 31, 2006 to 42 as of March 31,
2011. In addition, in the past, we have grown and expect to continue to grow through
acquisitions. Our ability to effectively manage our anticipated future growth will depend on,
among other things, the following:
|
|
|
successfully supporting and maintaining a broad range of solutions; |
|
|
|
|
maintaining continuity in our senior management and key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
attracting, retaining, training and motivating our employees,
particularly technical, customer service and sales personnel; |
|
|
|
|
enhancing our financial and accounting systems and controls; |
|
|
|
|
enhancing our information technology infrastructure, processes and controls; and |
|
|
|
|
managing expanded operations in geographically dispersed locations. |
If we do not manage the size, complexity and diverse nature of our business effectively, we
could experience product performance issues, delayed software releases and longer response times
for assisting our customers with implementation of our solutions and could lack adequate
resources to support our customers on an ongoing basis, any of which could adversely affect our
reputation in the market and our ability to generate revenue from new or existing customers.
The nature of our platform is complex and highly integrated, and if we fail to successfully
manage releases or integrate new solutions, it could harm our revenues, operating income and
reputation.
We manage a complex platform of solutions that consists of our property management systems
and integrated software-enabled value-added services. Many of our solutions include a large
number of product centers that are highly integrated and require interoperability with other
RealPage products, as well as products and services of third-party service providers.
Additionally, we typically deploy new releases of the software underlying our on demand software
solutions on a monthly or quarterly schedule depending on the solution. Due to this complexity
and the condensed development cycles under which we operate, we may experience errors in our
software, corruption or loss of our data or unexpected performance issues from time to time. For
example, our solutions may face interoperability difficulties with software operating systems or
programs being used by our customers, or new releases, upgrades, fixes or the integration of
acquired technologies may have unanticipated consequences on the operation and performance of our
other solutions. If we encounter integration challenges or discover errors in our solutions late
in our development cycle, it may cause us to delay our launch dates. Any major integration or
interoperability issues or launch delays could have a material adverse effect on our revenues,
operating income and reputation.
Our business depends substantially on customers renewing and expanding their subscriptions for
our solutions and any increase in customer cancellations or decline in customer renewals or
expansions would harm our future operating results.
We generally license our solutions pursuant to customer agreements with a term of one year.
Our customers have no obligation to renew these agreements after their term expires, or to renew
these agreements at the same or higher annual contract value. In addition, under specific
circumstances, our customers have the right to cancel their customer agreements before they
expire, for example, in the event of an uncured breach by us, or in some circumstances, by paying
a cancellation fee. In addition, customers often purchase a higher level of professional services
in the initial term than they do in renewal terms to ensure successful activation. As a result,
our ability to grow is dependent in part on customers purchasing additional solutions or
professional services after the initial term of their customer agreement. Though we maintain and
analyze historical data with respect to rates of customer renewals, upgrades and expansions,
those rates may not accurately predict future trends in customer renewals. Our customers renewal
rates may decline or fluctuate for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, their
level of satisfaction with our solutions, our pricing, our competitors pricing, reductions in
our customers spending levels or reductions in the number of units managed by our customers. If
our customers cancel their agreements with us during their term, do not renew their agreements,
renew on less favorable terms or do not purchase additional solutions or professional services in
renewal periods, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected or decline and our profitability
may be harmed.
Additionally, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, some level of
customer turnover as properties are sold and the new owners and managers of properties previously
owned or managed by our customers do not continue to use our solutions. We cannot predict the
amount of customer turnover we will experience in the future. However, we have experienced
slightly higher rates of customer turnover with our recently acquired Propertyware property
management system, primarily because it serves smaller properties than our OneSite property
management system, and we may experience higher levels of customer turnover to the extent
Propertyware grows as a percentage of our revenues. If we experience increased customer turnover,
our financial performance and operating results could be adversely affected.
28
We have also experienced, and expect to continue to experience, some number of
consolidations of our customers with other parties. If one of our customers consolidates with a
party who is not a customer, our customer may decide not to continue to use our solutions. In
addition, if one of our customers is consolidated with another customer, the acquiring customer
may have negotiated lower prices for our solutions or may use fewer of our solutions than the
acquired customer. In each case, the consolidated entity may attempt to negotiate lower prices
for using our solutions as a result of their increased size. These consolidations may cause us to
lose customers or require us to reduce prices as a result of enhanced customer leverage, which
could cause our financial performance and operating results to be adversely affected.
Because we recognize subscription revenue over the term of the applicable customer agreement, a
decline in subscription renewals or new service agreements may not be reflected immediately in
our operating results.
We generally recognize revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their customer
agreements, which are typically one year. As a result, much of the revenue we report in each
quarter is deferred revenue from customer agreements entered into during previous quarters.
Consequently, a decline in new or renewed customer agreements in any one quarter will not be
fully reflected in our revenue or our results of operations until future periods. Accordingly,
this revenue recognition model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue
through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new customers must be recognized over the
applicable subscription term.
We may not be able to continue to add new customers and retain and increase sales to our existing
customers, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Our revenue growth is dependent on our ability to continually attract new customers while
retaining and expanding our service offerings to existing customers. Growth in the demand for our
solutions may be inhibited and we may be unable to sustain growth in our customer base for a
number of reasons, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
our failure to develop new or additional solutions: |
|
|
|
|
our inability to market our solutions in a cost-effective manner to
new customers or in new vertical or geographic markets; |
|
|
|
|
our inability to expand our sales to existing customers; |
|
|
|
|
our inability to build and promote our brand; and |
|
|
|
|
perceived security, integrity, reliability, quality or compatibility problems with our solutions. |
A substantial amount of our past revenue growth was derived from purchases of upgrades and
additional solutions by existing customers. Our costs associated with increasing revenue from
existing customers are generally lower than costs associated with generating revenue from new
customers. Therefore, a reduction in the rate of revenue increase from our existing customers,
even if offset by an increase in revenue from new customers, could reduce our profitability and
have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
If we are not able to integrate past or future acquisitions successfully, our operating results
and prospects could be harmed.
We have acquired new technology and domain expertise through multiple acquisitions,
including our most recent acquisition of the assets of Compliance Depot in May 2011. We expect to
continue making acquisitions. The success of our future acquisition strategy will depend on our
ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate acquisitions. Acquisitions are inherently
risky, and any acquisitions we complete may not be successful. Any acquisitions we pursue would
involve numerous risks, including the following:
|
|
|
difficulties in integrating and managing the operations and technologies of the companies we acquire; |
|
|
|
|
diversion of our managements attention from normal daily operations of our business; |
29
|
|
|
our inability to maintain the key employees, the key business
relationships and the reputations of the businesses we acquire; |
|
|
|
|
the acquisitions may generate insufficient revenue to offset our increased expenses associated with acquisitions; |
|
|
|
|
our responsibility for the liabilities of the businesses we acquire,
including, without limitation, liabilities arising out of their
failure to maintain effective data security, data integrity and
privacy controls prior to the acquisition; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in complying with new regulatory standards to which we were not previously subject; |
|
|
|
|
delays in our ability to implement internal standards, controls,
procedures and policies in the businesses we acquire; and |
|
|
|
|
adverse effects of acquisition activity on the key performance
indicators we use to monitor our performance as a business. |
Our current acquisition strategy includes the acquisition of companies that offer property
management systems that may not interoperate with our software-enabled value-added services. In
order to integrate and fully realize the benefits of such acquisitions, we expect to build
application interfaces that enable such customers to use a wide range of our solutions while they
continue to use their legacy management systems. In addition, over time we expect to migrate the
acquired companys customers to our on demand property management systems to retain them as
customers and to be in a position to offer them our solutions on a cost-effective basis. These
efforts may be unsuccessful or entail costs that result in losses or reduced profitability.
We may be unable to secure the equity or debt funding necessary to finance future
acquisitions on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we finance acquisitions by issuing
equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders will likely experience ownership
dilution, and if we finance future acquisitions with debt funding, we will incur interest expense
and may have to comply with additional financing covenants or secure that debt obligation with
our assets.
If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire and sell enhancements and new solutions, our
revenue growth will be harmed and we may not be able to meet profitability expectations.
The industry in which we operate is characterized by rapidly changing customer requirements,
technological developments and evolving industry standards. Our ability to attract new customers
and increase revenue from existing customers will depend in large part on our ability to
successfully develop, bring to market and sell enhancements to our existing solutions and new
solutions that effectively respond to the rapid changes in our industry. Any enhancements or new
solutions that we develop or acquire may not be introduced to the market in a timely or
cost-effective manner and may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate the
revenue required to offset the operating expenses and capital expenditures related to development
or acquisition. If we are unable to timely develop or acquire and sell enhancements and new
solutions that keep pace with the rapid changes in our industry, our revenue will not grow as
expected and we may not be able to maintain or meet profitability expectations.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of our solutions and failure
to maintain demand for these solutions or diversify our revenue base through increasing demand
for our other solutions could negatively affect our operating results.
Historically, a majority of our revenue was derived from sales of our OneSite property
management system and our LeasingDesk software-enabled value-added service. If we are unable to
develop enhancements to these solutions to maintain demand for these solutions or to diversify
our revenue base by increasing demand for our other solutions, our operating results could be
negatively impacted.
30
We use a small number of data centers to deliver our solutions. Any disruption of service at our
facilities could interrupt or delay our customers access to our solutions, which could harm our
operating results.
The ability of our customers to access our service is critical to our business. We currently
serve a majority of our customers
from a primary data center located in Carrollton, Texas. We also maintain a secondary data
center in downtown Dallas, Texas, approximately 20 miles from our primary data center. Services
of our most recent acquisitions are provided from data centers located in South Carolina, Texas
and Winnipeg, Canada, many of which are operated by third party data vendors. It is our intent to
migrate all data services to our primary and secondary data centers in Carrollton and Dallas.
Until this migration is complete, we have no assurances that the policies and procedures in place
at our Carrollton and Dallas data centers will be followed at data centers operated by third
party vendors. Any event resulting in extended interruption or delay in our customers access to
our services or their data could harm our operating results. There can be no certainty that the
measures we have taken to eliminate single points of failure in the primary and secondary data
centers will be effective to prevent or minimize interruptions to our operations. Our facilities
are vulnerable to interruption or damage from a number of sources, many of which are beyond our
control, including, without limitation:
|
|
|
extended power loss; |
|
|
|
|
telecommunications failures from multiple telecommunication providers; |
|
|
|
|
natural disaster or an act of terrorism; |
|
|
|
|
software and hardware errors, or failures in our own systems or in other systems; |
|
|
|
|
network environment disruptions such as computer viruses, hacking and
similar problems in our own systems and in other systems; |
|
|
|
|
theft and vandalism of equipment; |
|
|
|
|
actions or events arising from human error; and |
|
|
|
|
actions or events caused by or related to third parties. |
The occurrence of an extended interruption of services at one or more of our data centers
could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. Since January 1, 2007, we have experienced
two extended service interruptions lasting more than eight hours caused by equipment and hardware
failures. Our service level agreements require us to refund a prorated portion of the access fee
if we fail to satisfy our service level commitments related to availability. Refunds for breach
of this service level commitment have resulted in immaterial payments to customers in the past.
An extended service outage could result in refunds to our customers and harm our customer
relationships.
We attempt to mitigate these risks at our data centers through various business continuity
efforts, including redundant infrastructure, 24 x 7 x 365 system activity monitoring, backup and
recovery procedures, use of a secure off-site storage facility for backup media, separate test
systems and change management and system security measures, but our precautions may not protect
against all potential problems. Our secondary data center is equipped with physical space, power,
storage and networking infrastructure and Internet connectivity to support the solutions we
provide in the event of the interruption of services at our primary data center. Even with this
secondary data center, however, our operations would be interrupted during the transition process
should our primary data center experience a failure. Moreover, both our primary and secondary
data centers are located in the greater metropolitan Dallas area. As a result, any regional
disaster could affect both data centers and result in a material disruption of our services.
For customers who specifically pay for accelerated disaster recovery services, we replicate
their data from our primary data center to our secondary data center with the necessary stand-by
servers and disk storage available to provide services within two hours of a disaster. This
process is currently audited by some of our customers who pay for this service on an annual
basis. For customers who do not pay for such services, our current service level agreements with
our customers require that we provide disaster recovery within 72 hours.
Disruptions at our data centers could cause disruptions in our services and data or document
loss or corruption. This could damage our reputation, cause us to issue credits to customers,
subject us to potential liability or costs related to defending against claims or cause customers
to terminate or elect not to renew their agreements, any of which could negatively impact our
revenues.
31
We provide service level commitments to our customers, and our failure to meet the stated service
levels could significantly harm our revenue and our reputation.
Our customer agreements provide that we maintain certain service level commitments to our
customers relating primarily to
product functionality, network uptime, critical infrastructure availability and hardware
replacement. For example, our service level agreements generally require that our solutions are
available 98% of the time during coverage hours (normally 6:00 a.m. though 10:00 p.m. Central
time daily) 365 days per year. If we are unable to meet the stated service level commitments, we
may be contractually obligated to provide customers with refunds or credits. Additionally, if we
fail to meet our service level commitments a specified number of times within a given time frame
or for a specified duration, our customers may terminate their agreement with us or extend the
term of their agreement at no additional fee. As a result, a failure to deliver services for a
relatively short duration could cause us to issue credits or refunds to a large number of
affected customers or result in the loss of customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that our
customers will accept these credits, refunds, termination or extension rights in lieu of other
legal remedies that may be available to them. Our failure to meet our commitments could also
result in substantial customer dissatisfaction or loss. Because of the loss of future revenues
through the issuance of credits or the loss of customers or other potential liabilities, our
revenue could be significantly impacted if we cannot meet our service level commitments to our
customers.
We face intense competitive pressures and our failure to compete successfully could harm our
operating results.
The market for our solutions is intensely competitive, fragmented and rapidly changing with
relatively low barriers to entry. With the introduction of new technologies and market entrants,
we expect competition to intensify in the future. Increased competition generally could result in
pricing pressures, reduced sales and reduced margins. Often we compete to sell our solutions
against existing systems that our potential customers have already made significant expenditures
to install.
We face competition primarily from point solution providers, including traditional software
vendors, application service providers, or ASPs, and other software as a service, or SaaS,
providers. Our competitors vary depending on our product and service. Our principal competitors
in the multi-tenant enterprise resource planning, or ERP, market are AMSI Property Management
(owned by Infor Global Solutions, Inc.), MRI Software LLC and Yardi Systems, Inc. These
competitors offer both software and ASP delivery platforms. In the last 12 months Yardi Systems,
Inc. has expanded into other competitive areas through smaller acquisitions and internally
developed systems. In the single-family market, our ERP systems compete primarily with AppFolio,
Inc., DIY Real Estate Solutions (recently acquired by Yardi Systems, Inc.), Property Boss
Solutions and Rent Manager (owned by London Computer Systems, Inc.).
We offer a number of software-enabled value-added services that compete with a disparate and
large group of competitors. In the applicant screening market, our principal competitors are
ChoicePoint Inc. (a subsidiary of Reed Elsevier Group plc), CoreLogic, Inc. (formerly First
Advantage Corporation, an affiliate of The First American Corporation), TransUnion Rental
Screening Solutions, Inc. (a subsidiary of TransUnion LLC), Yardi Systems, Inc. (following its
recent acquisition of RentGrow Inc., an applicant screening provider), On-Site.com and many other
smaller regional and local screening companies. In the insurance market, our principal
competitors are Assurant, Inc., Bader Company, CoreLogic, Inc. and a number of national insurance
underwriters (including GEICO Corporation, The Allstate Corporation, State Farm Fire and Casualty
Company, Farmers Insurance Exchange, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and United Services
Automobile Association) that market renters insurance. There are many smaller screening and
insurance providers in the risk mitigation area that we encounter less frequently, but they
nevertheless present a competitive presence in the market.
In the customer relationship management, or CRM, market, we compete with providers of
contact center and call tracking services, including Call Source Inc., Yardi Systems, Inc. (which
recently announced its intention to build a contact center) and numerous regional and local
contact centers. In addition, we compete with lead tracking solution providers, including Call
Source Inc., Lead Tracking Solutions (a division of O.C. Concepts, Inc.) and Whos Calling, Inc.
In addition, we compete with content syndication providers Realty DataTrust Corporation,
RentSentinel.com (owned by Yield Technologies, Inc.), RentEngine (owned by MyNewPlace.com) and
rentbits.com, Inc. Finally, we compete with companies providing web portal services, including
Apartments24-7.com, Inc., Ellipse Communications, Inc., Property Solutions International, Inc.,
Spherexx.com and Yardi Systems, Inc. Certain Internet listing services also offer websites for
their customers, usually as a free value add to their listing service.
In the utility billing market, we compete at a national level with American Utility
Management, Inc., Conservice, LLC, ista North America, Inc., NWP Services Corporation and Yardi
Systems, Inc. (following its recent acquisition of Energy Billing Systems, Inc.). Many other
smaller utility billing companies compete for smaller rental properties or in regional areas.
In the revenue management market, we compete with PROS Holdings, Inc., The Rainmaker Group,
Inc. and Yardi Systems, Inc.
In the spend management market, we compete with Site Stuff, Inc. (owned by Yardi Systems,
Inc.), AvidXchange, Inc., Nexus Systems, Inc., Ariba, Inc. and Oracle Corporation.
In the payment processing market, we compete with Chase Paymentech Solutions, LLC (a
subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co.), First Data Corporation, Fiserv, Inc., MoneyGram
International, Inc., NWP Services Corporation, Property Solutions International, Inc.,
RentPayment.com (a subsidiary of Yapstone, Inc.), Yardi Systems, Inc. and a number of national
banking
institutions.
In addition, many of our existing or potential customers have developed or may develop their
own solutions that may be competitive with our solutions. We also may face competition for
potential acquisition targets from our competitors who are seeking to expand their offerings.
32
With respect to all of our competitors, we compete based on a number of factors, including
total cost of ownership, ease of implementation, product functionality and scope, performance,
security, scalability and reliability of service, brand and reputation, sales and marketing
capabilities and financial resources. Some of our existing competitors and new market entrants
may enjoy substantial competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, longer operating
histories, a larger installed customer base and larger marketing budgets, as well as greater
financial, technical and other resources. In addition, any number of our existing competitors or
new market entrants could combine or consolidate to become a more formidable competitor with
greater resources. As a result of such competitive advantages, our existing and future
competitors may be able to:
|
|
|
develop superior products or services, gain greater market acceptance
and expand their offerings more efficiently or more rapidly; |
|
|
|
|
adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements more quickly; |
|
|
|
|
take advantage of acquisition and other opportunities more readily; |
|
|
|
|
adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to
the promotion of their brand and marketing and sales of their products
and services; and |
|
|
|
|
devote greater resources to the research and development of their products and services. |
If we are not able to compete effectively, our operating results will be harmed.
We integrate our software-enabled value-added services with competitive ERP applications for
some of our customers. Our application infrastructure, marketed to our customers as The RealPage
Cloud, is based on an open architecture that enables third-party applications to access and
interface with applications hosted in The RealPage Cloud through our RealPage Exchange platform.
Likewise, through this platform our RealPage Cloud services are able to access and interface with
other third-party applications, including third-party property management systems. We also
provide services to assist in the implementation, training, support and hosting with respect to
the integration of some of our competitors applications with our solutions. We sometimes rely on
the cooperation of our competitors to implement solutions for our customers. However, frequently
our reliance on the cooperation of our competitors can result in delays in integration. There is
no assurance that our competitors, even if contractually obligated to do so, will continue to
cooperate with us or will not prospectively alter their obligations to do so. We also
occasionally develop interfaces between our software-enabled value-added services and competitor
ERP systems without their cooperation or consent. There is no assurance that our competitors will
not alter their applications in ways that inhibit integration or assert that their intellectual
property rights restrict our ability to integrate our solutions with their applications.
On January 24, 2011, Yardi Systems, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California against RealPage, Inc. and DC Consulting, Inc. The lawsuit alleges
claims for relief for violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, violation of the California
Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud Act, violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation and unfair competition. The plaintiff
alleges, among other things, that unnamed RealPage personnel used unauthorized passwords to
wrongfully gain access to and download confidential, trade secret, and copyrighted information
related to Yardi products from Yardis computer system. In its prayer for relief, Yardi Systems
seeks various remedies including unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On March 28, 2011, we
filed an answer and counterclaims in which we respond to Yardis claims and assert counterclaims
against Yardi for, among other things, misappropriation of trade secrets, violation of the
Sherman Act, violation of the California Cartwright Act, intentional interference with contract,
intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and unfair competition. We allege
that Yardi and its agents wrongfully obtained and used our trade secrets and engaged in
anti-competitive behavior with respect to certain of our clients. In our prayer for relief, we
seek various remedies including unspecified damages and injunctive relief. Because this lawsuit
is at an early stage, it is not possible to predict its outcome. We intend to defend this case
and pursue our counterclaims vigorously. However, even if we were successful in defending against
Yardis claims or in prevailing on our counterclaims, the proceedings could result in significant
costs and divert our managements attention. Prior to filing this lawsuit, Yardi Systems, Inc.
contacted us and certain of our customers and expressed concerns about our hosting such
competitors applications in The RealPage Cloud and our performance of certain consulting
services. We believe that we are lawfully hosting and accessing Yardi Systems, Inc.s
applications in The RealPage Cloud solely for purposes authorized by our customers and within our
customers contractual rights. However, if Yardi
Systems, Inc. or other competitors do not continue to cooperate with us, alter their
applications in ways that inhibit or restrict the integration of our solutions or assert that
their intellectual property rights restrict our ability to integrate our solutions with their
applications and we are not able to find alternative ways to integrate our solutions with our
competitors applications, our business would be harmed. Yardi Systems has also expressed its
concern that we may misappropriate its intellectual property by hosting its applications for our
mutual customers in The RealPage Cloud.
33
Variability in our sales and activation cycles could result in fluctuations in our quarterly
results of operations and cause our stock price to decline.
The sales and activation cycles for our solutions, from initial contact with a potential
customer to contract execution and activation, vary widely by customer and solution. We do not
recognize revenue until the solution is activated. While most of our activations follow a set of
standard procedures, a customers priorities may delay activation and our ability to recognize
revenue, which could result in fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.
Many of our customers are price sensitive, and if market dynamics require us to change our
pricing model or reduce prices, our operating results will be harmed.
Many of our existing and potential customers are price sensitive, and recent adverse global
economic conditions have contributed to increased price sensitivity in the multi-family housing
market and the other markets that we serve. As market dynamics change, or as new and existing
competitors introduce more competitive pricing or pricing models, we may be unable to renew our
agreements with existing customers or customers of the businesses we acquire or attract new
customers at the same price or based on the same pricing model as previously used. As a result,
it is possible that we may be required to change our pricing model, offer price incentives or
reduce our prices, which could harm our revenue, profitability and operating results.
If we do not effectively expand and train our sales force, we may be unable to add new customers
or increase sales to our existing customers and our business will be harmed.
We continue to be substantially dependent on our sales force to obtain new customers and to
sell additional solutions to our existing customers. We believe that there is significant
competition for sales personnel with the skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our
ability to achieve significant revenue growth will depend, in large part, on our success in
recruiting, training and retaining sufficient numbers of sales personnel to support our growth.
New hires require significant training and, in most cases, take significant time before they
achieve full productivity. Our recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as we
expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the
markets where we do business or plan to do business. If we are unable to hire and train
sufficient numbers of effective sales personnel, or the sales personnel are not successful in
obtaining new customers or increasing sales to our existing customer base, our business will be
harmed.
Material defects or errors in the software we use to deliver our solutions could harm our
reputation, result in significant costs to us and impair our ability to sell our solutions.
The software applications underlying our solutions are inherently complex and may contain
material defects or errors, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or
enhancements are released. We have from time to time found defects in the software applications
underlying our solutions and new errors in our existing solutions may be detected in the future.
Any errors or defects that cause performance problems or service interruptions could result in:
|
|
|
a reduction in new sales or subscription renewal rates; |
|
|
|
|
unexpected sales credits or refunds to our customers, loss of customers and other potential liabilities; |
|
|
|
|
delays in customer payments, increasing our collection reserve and collection cycle; |
|
|
|
|
diversion of development resources and associated costs; |
|
|
|
|
harm to our reputation and brand; and |
|
|
|
|
unanticipated litigation costs. |
Additionally, the costs incurred in correcting defects or errors could be substantial and
could adversely affect our operating results.
Failure to effectively manage the development of our solutions and data processing efforts
outside the United States could harm
our business.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to process high volumes of customer data and
enhance existing solutions and develop new solutions rapidly and cost effectively. We currently
maintain an office in Hyderabad, India where we employ development and data processing personnel.
We believe that performing these activities in Hyderabad increases the efficiency and decreases
the costs of our development and data processing efforts. However, managing and staffing
international operations requires managements attention and financial resources. The level of
cost-savings achieved by our international operations may not exceed the amount of investment and
additional resources required to manage and operate these international operations. Additionally,
if we experience problems with our workforce or facilities in Hyderabad, our business could be
harmed due to delays in product release schedules or data processing services.

We rely on third-party technologies and services that may be difficult to replace or that could
cause errors, failures or disruptions of our service, any of which could harm our business.
We rely on a number of third-party providers, including, but not limited to, computer
hardware and software vendors and database providers, to deliver our solutions. We currently
utilize equipment, software and services from Avaya Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., Compellent
Technologies, Inc., Dell Inc., EMC Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Oracle Corporation and
salesforce.com, inc., as well as many other smaller providers. Our OneSite Accounting service
relies on a SaaS-based accounting system developed and maintained by a third-party service
provider. We host this application in our data centers and provide supplemental development
resources to extend this accounting system to meet the unique requirements of the rental housing
industry. Our shared cloud portfolio reporting service will utilize software licensed from IBM.
We expect to utilize additional service providers as we expand our platform. Although the
third-party technologies and services that we currently require are commercially available, such
technologies and services may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or
at all. Any loss of the right to use any of these technologies or services could result in delays
in the provisioning of our solutions until alternative technology is either developed by us, or,
if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, and such delays could harm our business. It
also may be time consuming and costly to enter into new relationships. Additionally, any errors
or defects in the third-party technologies we utilize or delays or interruptions in the
third-party services we rely on could result in errors, failures or disruptions of our services,
which also could harm our business.
We depend upon third-party service providers for important payment processing functions. If these
third-party service providers do not fulfill their contractual obligations or choose to
discontinue their services, our business and operations could be disrupted and our operating
results would be harmed.
We rely on several large payment processing organizations to enable us to provide payment
processing services to our customers, including electronic funds transfers, or EFT, check
services, bank card authorization, data capture, settlement and merchant accounting services and
access to various reporting tools. These organizations include Bank of America Merchant Services,
Paymentech, LLC, Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo, N.A.
We also rely on third-party hardware manufacturers to manufacture the check scanning hardware our
customers utilize to process transactions. Some of these organizations and service providers are
competitors who also directly or indirectly sell payment processing services to customers in
competition with us. With respect to these organizations and service providers, we have
significantly less control over the systems and processes than if we were to maintain and operate
them ourselves. In some cases, functions necessary to our business are performed on proprietary
third-party systems and software to which we have no access. We also generally do not have
long-term contracts with these organizations and service providers. Accordingly, the failure of
these organizations and service providers to renew their contracts with us or fulfill their
contractual obligations and perform satisfactorily could result in significant disruptions to our
operations and adversely affect operating results. In addition, businesses that we have acquired,
or may acquire in the future, typically rely on other payment processing service providers. We
may encounter difficulty converting payment processing services from these service providers to
our payment processing platform. If we are required to find an alternative source for performing
these functions, we may have to expend significant money, time and other resources to develop or
obtain an alternative, and if developing or obtaining an alternative is not accomplished in a
timely manner and without significant disruption to our business, we may be unable to fulfill our
responsibilities to customers or meet their expectations, with the attendant potential for
liability claims, damage to our reputation, loss of ability to attract or maintain customers and
reduction of our revenue or profits.
We face a number of risks in our payment processing business that could result in a reduction in
our revenues and profits.
In connection with our payment processing services, we collect resident funds and
subsequently remit these resident funds to our customers after varying holding periods. These
funds are settled through our sponsor bank, and in the case of EFT, our Originating Depository
Financial Institution, or ODFI. Currently, we rely on Wells Fargo, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. as our sponsor banks. In the future, we expect to enter into similar sponsor bank
relationships with one or more other national banking institutions. The custodial balances that
we hold for our customers at our sponsor bank are identified in our consolidated balance sheets
as restricted cash and the corresponding liability for these custodial balances is identified as
customer deposits. Our
payment processing business and related maintenance of custodial accounts subjects us to a
number of risks, including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
liability for customer costs related to disputed or fraudulent
merchant transactions if those costs exceed the amount of the customer
reserves we have established to make such payments; |
|
|
|
|
limits on the amount of custodial balances that any single ODFI will underwrite; |
35
|
|
|
reliance on bank sponsors and card payment processors and other
service providers to process bank card transactions; |
|
|
|
|
failure by us or our bank sponsors to adhere to applicable laws and
regulatory requirements or the standards of the credit card
associations; |
|
|
|
|
incidences of fraud or a security breach or our failure to comply with required external audit standards; and |
|
|
|
|
our inability to increase our fees at times when credit card
associations increase their merchant transaction processing fees. |
If any of these risks related to our payment processing business were to occur, our business
or financial results could be negatively affected. Additionally, with respect to the processing
of EFTs, we are exposed to financial risk. EFTs between a resident and our customer may be
returned for insufficient funds, or NSFs, or rejected. These NSFs and rejects are charged back to
the customer by us. However, if we or our sponsor banks are unable to collect such amounts from
the customers account or if the customer refuses or is unable to reimburse us for the
chargeback, we bear the risk of loss for the amount of the transfer. While we have not
experienced material losses resulting from chargebacks in the past, there can be no assurance
that we will not experience significant losses from chargebacks in the future. Any increase in
chargebacks not paid by our customers may adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to our customers or
their residents data, we may incur significant liabilities, our solutions may be perceived as
not being secure and customers may curtail or stop using our solutions.
The solutions we provide involve the collection, storage and transmission of confidential
personal and proprietary information regarding our customers and our customers current and
prospective residents. Specifically, we collect, store and transmit a variety of customer data
including, but not limited to, the demographic information and payment histories of our
customers prospective and current residents. Additionally, we collect and transmit sensitive
financial data such as credit card and bank account information. If our data security or data
integrity measures are breached as a result of third-party actions or fail due to any employees
or contractors errors or malfeasance or otherwise, and someone obtains unauthorized access to
this information or the data is otherwise compromised, we could incur significant liability to
our customers and to their prospective or current residents or significant fines and sanctions by
processing networks or governmental bodies, any of which could result in harm to our business and
damage to our reputation.
We also rely upon our customers as users of our system to promote security of the system and
the data within it, such as administration of customer-side access credentialing and control of
customer-side display of data. On occasion, our customers have failed to perform these activities
in such a manner as to prevent unauthorized access to data. To date, these breaches have not
resulted in claims against us or in material harm to our business, but we cannot be certain that
the failure of our customers in future periods to perform these activities will not result in
claims against us, which could expose us to potential litigation and harm to our reputation.
There can be no certainty that the measures we have taken to protect the privacy and
integrity of our customers and their current or prospective residents data are adequate to
prevent or remedy unauthorized access to our system. Because techniques used to obtain
unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, systems change frequently and generally are not
recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to
implement adequate preventive measures. Experienced computer programmers seeking to intrude or
cause harm, or hackers, may attempt to penetrate our service infrastructure from time to time.
Although we have not experienced any material security breaches to date, a hacker who is able to
penetrate our service infrastructure could misappropriate proprietary or confidential information
or cause interruptions in our services. We might be required to expend significant capital and
resources to protect against, or to remedy, problems caused by hackers, and we may not have a
timely remedy against a hacker who is able to penetrate our service infrastructure. In addition
to purposeful breaches, the
inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could expose us to security risks. If an actual
or perceived breach of our security occurs or if our customers and potential customers perceive
vulnerabilities, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be
harmed and we could lose sales and customers.
36
If we are unable to cost-effectively scale or adapt our existing architecture to accommodate
increased traffic, technological advances or changing customer requirements, our operating
results could be harmed.
As we continue to increase our customer base, the number of users accessing our on demand
software solutions over the Internet will continue to increase. Increased traffic could result in
slow access speeds and response times. Since our customer agreements typically include service
availability commitments, slow speeds or our failure to accommodate increased traffic could
result in breaches of our customer agreements. In addition, the market for our solutions is
characterized by rapid technological advances and changes in customer requirements. In order to
accommodate increased traffic and respond to technological advances and evolving customer
requirements, we expect that we will be required to make future investments in our network
architecture. If we do not implement future upgrades to our network architecture
cost-effectively, or if we experience prolonged delays or unforeseen difficulties in connection
with upgrading our network architecture, our service quality may suffer and our operating results
could be harmed.
Because certain solutions we provide depend on access to customer data, decreased access to this
data or the failure to comply with applicable privacy laws and regulations or address privacy
concerns applicable to such data could harm our business.
Certain of our solutions depend on our continued access to our customers data regarding
their prospective and current residents, including data compiled by other third-party service
providers who collect and store data on behalf of our customers. Federal and state governments
and agencies have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws and regulations regarding the
collection, use and disclosure of such data. Any decrease in the availability of such data from
our customers, or other third parties that collect and store such data on behalf of our
customers, and the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, applicable legislative
and regulatory initiatives may limit our ability to collect, aggregate or use this data. Any
limitations on our ability to collect, aggregate or use such data could reduce demand for certain
of our solutions. Additionally, any inability to adequately address privacy concerns, even if
unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy laws, regulations and policies, could result in
liability to us or damage to our reputation and could inhibit sales and market acceptance of our
solutions and harm our business.
The market for on demand software solutions in the rental housing industry is new and continues
to develop, and if it does not develop further or develops more slowly than we expect, our
business will be harmed.
The market for on demand software solutions in the rental housing industry delivered via the
Internet through a web browser is rapidly growing but still relatively immature compared to the
market for traditional on premise software installed on a customers local personal computer or
server. It is uncertain whether the on demand delivery model will achieve and sustain high levels
of demand and market acceptance, making our business and future prospects difficult to evaluate
and predict. While our existing customer base has widely accepted this new model, our future
success will depend, to a large extent, on the willingness of our potential customers to choose
on demand software solutions for business processes that they view as critical. Many of our
potential customers have invested substantial effort and financial resources to integrate
traditional enterprise software into their businesses and may be reluctant or unwilling to switch
to on demand software solutions. Some businesses may be reluctant or unwilling to use on demand
software solutions because they have concerns regarding the risks associated with security
capabilities, reliability and availability, among other things, of the on demand delivery model.
If potential customers do not consider on demand software solutions to be beneficial, then the
market for these solutions may not further develop, or it may develop more slowly than we expect,
either of which would adversely affect our operating results.
Economic trends that affect the rental housing market may have a negative effect on our business.
Our customers include a range of organizations whose success is intrinsically linked to the
rental housing market. Economic trends that negatively affect the rental housing market may
adversely affect our business. The recent downturn in the global economy has caused volatility in
the real estate markets, generally, including the rental housing market, and increases in the
rates of mortgage defaults and bankruptcy. Continued instability or downturns affecting the
rental housing market may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations by:
|
|
|
reducing the number of occupied sites and units on which we earn revenue; |
|
|
|
|
preventing our customers from expanding their businesses and managing new properties; |
|
|
|
|
causing our customers to reduce spending on our solutions; |
|
|
|
|
subjecting us to increased pricing pressure in order to add new customers and retain existing customers; |
|
|
|
|
causing our customers to switch to lower-priced solutions provided by
our competitors or internally developed solutions; |
|
|
|
|
delaying or preventing our collection of outstanding accounts receivable; and |
|
|
|
|
causing payment processing losses related to an increase in customer insolvency. |
37
We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be
available.
We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require
additional funds to respond to business challenges or opportunities, including the need to
develop new solutions or enhance our existing solutions, enhance our operating infrastructure or
acquire businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt
financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of
equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant
dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges
superior to those of holders of our common stock. Debt financing secured by us in the future
could involve additional restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and
other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain
additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In
addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all.
If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we
require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business
challenges or opportunities could be significantly limited.
Our debt obligations contain restrictions that impact our business and expose us to risks that
could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
On September 3, 2009, we entered into a credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance,
LLC (formerly Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC) and Comerica Bank. As amended on February 23, 2011, the
credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $103.0 million, subject to a borrowing formula,
including a revolving facility of up to $37.0 million, with a sublimit of $10.0 million for the
issuance of letters of credit on our behalf, and a term loan facility of up to $66.0 million. In
November 2010, we borrowed $30.0 million on our delayed draw term loans to facilitate our
acquisition of Level One. At March 31, 2011, we had approximately $63.3 million of outstanding
indebtedness under the term loan facility. Our interest expense as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 for the credit
facility was approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
Advances under the credit facility may be voluntarily prepaid, and must be prepaid with the
proceeds of certain dispositions, extraordinary receipts, indebtedness and equity, with excess
cash flow and in full upon a change in control. Reductions of the revolver, voluntary prepayments
and mandatory prepayments from the proceeds of indebtedness and equity are each subject to a
prepayment premium of 1.0% prior to June 22, 2011, 0.5% on or after June 22, 2011 and prior to
June 22, 2012 and 0% thereafter. Such prepayments will be applied first to reduce the term loan,
and then to reduce availability under the revolver.
All of our obligations under the loan facility are secured by substantially all of our
property. All of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries are required to guaranty our
obligations under the credit facility, other than certain immaterial subsidiaries and our payment
processing subsidiary, RealPage Payment Processing Services, Inc. Our foreign subsidiaries may,
under certain circumstances, be required to guaranty our obligations under the credit facility.
Such guarantees by existing and future subsidiaries are and will be secured by substantially all
of the property of such subsidiaries.
Our credit facility contains customary covenants, which limit our and certain of our
subsidiaries ability to, among other things:
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness of others; |
|
|
|
|
create liens on our assets; |
|
|
|
|
enter into mergers or consolidations; |
|
|
|
|
dispose of assets; |
|
|
|
|
prepay indebtedness or make changes to our governing documents and certain of our agreements; |
|
|
|
|
pay dividends and make other distributions on our capital stock, and redeem and repurchase our capital stock; |
|
|
|
|
make investments, including acquisitions; |
|
|
|
|
enter into transactions with affiliates; and |
|
|
|
|
make capital expenditures. |
38
Our credit facility also contains customary affirmative covenants, including, among other
things, requirements to: take certain actions in the event we form or acquire new subsidiaries;
hold annual meetings with our lenders; provide copies of material contracts and amendments to our
lenders; locate our collateral only at specified locations; and use commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that certain material contracts permit the assignment of the contract to our
lenders; subject in each case to customary exceptions and qualifications. We are also required to
comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio, which is a ratio of our EBITDA to our fixed charges as
determined in accordance with the credit facility, of 1.25:1:00 for each 12-month period ending
at the end of a fiscal quarter thereafter, and a senior leverage ratio, which is a ratio of the
outstanding principal balance of our term loan plus our outstanding revolver usage to our EBITDA
as determined in accordance with the credit facility, of 1.85:1.00 for each period from July 31,
2010 until October 31, 2010, then 2.35:1.00 for each period until December 31, 2010, then
2.75:1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter.
The credit facility contains customary events of default, subject to customary cure periods
for certain defaults, that include, among others, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults,
material judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, cross-defaults to certain other
material indebtedness, inaccuracy of representations and warranties and a failure to meet certain
liquidity thresholds both before and after we make cash payments for earnouts and holdbacks in
connection with acquisition transactions.
If we experience a decline in cash flow due to any of the factors described in this Risk
Factors section or otherwise, we could have difficulty paying interest and principal amounts due
on our indebtedness and meeting the financial covenants set forth in our credit facility. If we
are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise obtain the funds necessary to make
required payments under our credit facility, or if we fail to comply with the requirements of our
indebtedness, we could default under our credit facility. In addition, to date we have obtained
waivers under our credit facility, but such waivers were not related to a decline in our cash
flow. As a result of our ongoing communications with the lenders under our credit facility, our
lenders were aware of the transactions and circumstances leading up to these waivers and we
expected to receive their approval with regard to such transactions and circumstances, whether in
the form of a consent, waiver, amendment or otherwise. The waivers under the credit facility were
in connection with procedural requirements under our credit agreement related to: two acquisition
transactions we entered into in September 2009; an update to the credit agreement schedules to
include certain arrangements we have in place, and had in place at the time of closing of the
credit facility, with our subsidiary that serves as a special purpose vehicle for processing
payments, including a guaranty made by us for the benefit of our subsidiary in favor of Wells
Fargo Bank; the payment of cash dividends of approximately $16,000 more than the amount agreed to
by the lenders; and with respect to our fixed charge coverage ratio as a result of payments
approved by our board of directors and discussed with our lenders for a cash dividend paid in
December 2009 and for payments on promissory notes held by holders of our preferred stock in
connection with a prior declared dividend. While we view each of these as one-time events, and
while we were able to successfully negotiate waivers for such defaults and amendments to our
credit facility to ensure such events would be in compliance with the terms of the credit
facility consistent with our ongoing discussions with our lenders about these events, we may in
the future fail to comply with the terms of our credit facility and be unable to negotiate a
waiver of any such defaults with our lenders. Any default that is not cured or waived could
result in the acceleration of the obligations under the credit facility, an increase in the
applicable interest rate under the credit facility and a requirement that our subsidiaries that
have guaranteed the credit facility pay the obligations in full, and would permit our lender to
exercise remedies with respect to all of the collateral that is securing the credit facility,
including substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors assets. Any such default could
have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
Even if we comply with all of the applicable covenants, the restrictions on the conduct of
our business could adversely affect our business by, among other things, limiting our ability to
take advantage of financings, mergers, acquisitions and other corporate opportunities that may be
beneficial to the business. Even if the credit facility were terminated, additional debt we could
incur in the future may subject us to similar or additional covenants.
We also have equipment lease obligations, which totaled approximately $0.3 million as of
March 31, 2011. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or cash
from other sources in order to meet the payment obligations under these equipment leases, we may
lose the right to possess and operate the equipment used in our business, which would
substantially impair our ability to provide our solutions and could have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity or results of
operations.
Assertions by a third party that we infringe its intellectual property, whether successful or
not, could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses.
The software and technology industries are characterized by the existence of a large number
of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and by frequent litigation based on
allegations of infringement, misappropriation, misuse and other violations of intellectual
property rights. We have received in the past, and may receive in the future, communications from
third parties claiming that we have infringed or otherwise misappropriated the intellectual
property rights of others. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims
against their use. Since we currently have no patents, we may not use patent infringement as a
defensive strategy in such litigation. Additionally, although we have licensed from other parties
proprietary technology covered by patents, we cannot be certain that any such patents will not be
challenged, invalidated or circumvented. If such patents are invalidated or circumvented, this
may allow existing and potential competitors to develop products and services that are
competitive with, or superior to, our solutions.
39
Many of our customer agreements require us to indemnify our customers for certain
third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase our costs as a result
of defending such claims and may require that we pay damages if there were an adverse ruling or
settlement related to any such claims. These types of claims could harm our relationships with
our customers, may deter future customers from purchasing our solutions or could expose us to
litigation for these claims. Even if we are not a party to any litigation between a customer and
a third party, an adverse outcome in any such litigation could make it more difficult for us to
defend our intellectual property in any subsequent litigation in which we are a named party.
One of our competitors, Yardi Systems, Inc., contacted us and certain of our customers and
expressed its concern that we may misappropriate its intellectual property by hosting its
applications for our mutual customers in The RealPage Cloud. On January 24, 2011, Yardi Systems,
Inc. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against
RealPage and DC Consulting, Inc. The lawsuit alleges claims for relief for violation of the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, violation of the California Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud
Act, violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, copyright infringement, trade secret
misappropriation and unfair competition. The plaintiff alleges, among other things, that unnamed
RealPage personnel used unauthorized passwords to wrongfully gain access to and download
confidential, trade secret, and copyrighted information related to Yardi products from Yardis
computer system. In its prayer for relief, Yardi Systems seeks various remedies including
unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On March 28, 2011, we filed an answer and
counterclaims in which we respond to Yardis claims and assert counterclaims against Yardi for,
among other things, misappropriation of trade secrets, violation of the Sherman Act, violation of
the California Cartwright Act, intentional interference with contract, intentional interference
with prospective economic advantage and unfair competition. We allege that Yardi and its agents
wrongfully obtained and used our trade secrets and engaged in anti-competitive behavior with
respect to certain of our clients. In our prayer for relief, we seek various remedies including
unspecified damages and injunctive relief. Because this lawsuit is at an early stage, it is not
possible to predict its outcome. We intend to defend this case and pursue our counterclaims
vigorously. However, even if we were successful in defending against Yardis claims or in
prevailing on our counterclaims, the proceedings could result in significant costs and divert our
managements attention. The Yardi Systems litigation or other similar litigation could force us
to stop selling, incorporating or using our solutions that include the challenged intellectual
property or redesign those solutions that use the technology. In addition, we may have to pay
damages if we are found to be in violation of a third partys rights. We may have to procure a
license for the technology, which may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all, may
significantly increase our operating expenses or may require us to restrict our business
activities in one or more respects. As a result, we may also be required to develop alternative
non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense. There is no
assurance that we would be able to develop alternative solutions or, if alternative solutions
were developed, that they would perform as required or be accepted in the relevant markets. In
some instances, if we are unable to offer non-infringing technology, or obtain a license for such
technology, we may be required to refund some or the entire license fee paid for the infringing
technology by our customers.
Our exposure to risks associated with the use of intellectual property may be increased as a
result of acquisitions, as we have a lower level of visibility into the development process with
respect to acquired technology or the care taken to safeguard against infringement risks. Third
parties may make infringement and similar or related claims after we have acquired technology
that had not been asserted prior to our acquisition.
Any failure to protect and successfully enforce our intellectual property rights could compromise
our proprietary technology and impair our brands.
Our success depends significantly on our ability to protect our proprietary rights to the
technologies we use in our solutions. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights
adequately, our competitors could use the intellectual property we have developed to enhance
their own products and services, which could harm our business. We rely on a combination of
copyright, service mark, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures
and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, all of which
provide only limited protection. We currently have no issued patents or pending patent
applications
and may be unable to obtain patent protection in the future. In addition, if any patents are
issued in the future, they may not provide us with any competitive advantages, may not be issued
in a manner that gives us the protection that we seek and may be successfully challenged by third
parties. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use the technologies
underlying our solutions. Monitoring unauthorized use of our technologies is difficult, and we do
not know whether the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology. If we
are unable to protect our proprietary rights, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage
to others who have not incurred the substantial expense, time and effort required to create
similar innovative products.
We cannot assure you that any future service mark or trademark registrations will be issued
for pending or future applications or that any registered service marks or trademarks will be
enforceable or provide adequate protection of our proprietary rights. If we are unable to secure
new marks, maintain already existing marks and enforce the rights to use such marks against
unauthorized third-party use, our ability to brand, identify and promote our solutions in the
marketplace could be impaired, which could harm our business.
40
We customarily enter into agreements with our employees, contractors and certain parties
with whom we do business to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. The
steps we have taken, however, may not prevent unauthorized use or the reverse engineering of our
technology. Moreover, we may be required to release the source code of our software to third
parties under certain circumstances. For example, some of our customer agreements provide that if
we cease to maintain or support a certain solution without replacing it with a successor
solution, then we may be required to release the source code of the software underlying such
solution. In addition, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive to ours
or infringe our intellectual property. Enforcement of our intellectual property rights also
depends on our legal actions being successful against these infringers, but these actions may not
be successful, even when our rights have been infringed. Furthermore, the legal standards
relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights
in Internet-related industries are uncertain and still evolving.
Additionally, if we sell our solutions internationally in the future, effective patent,
trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available or as robust
in every country in which our solutions are available. As a result, we may not be able to
effectively prevent competitors outside the United States from infringing or otherwise
misappropriating our intellectual property rights, which could reduce our competitive advantage
and ability to compete or otherwise harm our business.
Current and future litigation against us could be costly and time consuming to defend.
We are from time to time subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary
course of business, including claims brought by our customers in connection with commercial
disputes, claims brought by our customers current or prospective residents, including potential
class action lawsuits based on asserted statutory or regulatory violations, and employment claims
made by our current or former employees. Litigation, regardless of its outcome, may result in
substantial costs and may divert managements attention and our resources, which may harm our
business, overall financial condition and operating results. In addition, legal claims that have
not yet been asserted against us may be asserted in the future. Insurance may not cover such
claims, may not be sufficient for one or more such claims and may not continue to be available on
terms acceptable to us, or at all. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured
could result in unanticipated costs, thereby harming our operating results.
On January 24, 2011, Yardi Systems, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California against RealPage and DC Consulting, Inc. The lawsuit alleges
claims for relief for violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, violation of the California
Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud Act, violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act,
copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation and unfair competition. The plaintiff
alleges, among other things, that unnamed RealPage personnel used unauthorized passwords to
wrongfully gain access to and download confidential, trade secret, and copyrighted information
related to Yardi products from Yardis computer system. In its prayer for relief, Yardi Systems
seeks various remedies including unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On March 28, 2011, we
filed an answer and counterclaims in which we respond to Yardis claims and assert counterclaims
against Yardi for, among other things, misappropriation of trade secrets, violation of the
Sherman Act, violation of the California Cartwright Act, intentional interference with contract,
intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and unfair competition. We allege
that Yardi and its agents wrongfully obtained and used our trade secrets and engaged in
anti-competitive behavior with respect to certain of our clients. In our prayer for relief, we
seek various remedies including unspecified damages and injunctive relief. Because this lawsuit
is at an early stage, it is not possible to predict its outcome. We intend to defend this case
and pursue our counterclaims vigorously. However, even if we were successful in defending against
Yardis claims or in prevailing on our counterclaims, the proceedings could result in significant
costs and divert our managements attention.
In March 2010, the District Attorney of Ventura County, California issued an administrative
subpoena to us seeking certain information related to our provision of utility billing services
in the State of California. A representative of the District Attorney has informed us that the
subpoena was issued in connection with a general investigation of industry practices with respect
to utility billing in California. Utility billing is subject to regulation by state law and
various state administrative agencies, including, in
California, the California Public Utility Commission, or the CPUC, and the Division of
Weights and Measures, or the DWM. We have provided the District Attorney with the information
requested in the subpoena. In late August 2010, we received limited, follow-up requests for
information to which we have responded. The District Attorneys office has not initiated an
administrative or other enforcement action against us, nor have they asserted any violations of
the applicable regulations by us. Given the early stage of this investigation, it is difficult to
predict its outcome and whether the District Attorney will pursue an administrative or other
enforcement action against us in the State of California and what the result of any such action
would be. However, penalties or assessments of violations of regulations promulgated by the CPUC
or DWM or other regulators may be calculated on a per occurrence basis. Due to the large number
of billing transactions we process for our customers in California, our potential liability in an
enforcement action could be significant. If the District Attorney ultimately pursues an
administrative or other enforcement action against us, we believe that we have meritorious
defenses to the potential claims and would defend them vigorously. However, even if we were
successful in defending against such claims, the proceedings could result in significant costs
and divert managements attention.
41
We could be sued for contract or product liability claims, and such lawsuits may disrupt our
business, divert managements attention and our financial resources or have an adverse effect on
our financial results.
We provide warranties to customers of certain of our solutions relating primarily to product
functionality, network uptime, critical infrastructure availability and hardware replacement.
General errors, defects, inaccuracies or other performance problems in the software applications
underlying our solutions or inaccuracies in or loss of the data we provide to our customers could
result in financial or other damages to our customers. There can be no assurance that any
limitations of liability set forth in our contracts would be enforceable or would otherwise
protect us from liability for damages. We maintain general liability insurance coverage,
including coverage for errors and omissions, in amounts and under terms that we believe are
appropriate. There can be no assurance that this coverage will continue to be available on terms
acceptable to us, or at all, or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large product
liability claims, or that the insurer will not deny coverage for any future claim. The successful
assertion of one or more large product liability claims against us that exceeds available
insurance coverage, could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
If we fail to develop our brands cost-effectively, our financial condition and operating results
could be harmed.
We market our solutions under discrete brand names. We believe that developing and
maintaining awareness of our brands is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our
existing and future solutions and is an important element in attracting new customers and
retaining our existing customers. Additionally, we believe that developing these brands in a
cost-effective manner is critical in meeting our expected margins. In the past, our efforts to
build our brands have involved significant expenses and we intend to continue to make
expenditures on brand promotion. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and
even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incurred in building our
brands. If we fail to cost-effectively build and maintain our brands, we may fail to attract new
customers or retain our existing customers, and our financial condition and results of operations
could be harmed.
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate
and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, our
ability to operate our business and investors views of us.
Ensuring that we have adequate internal financial and accounting controls and procedures in
place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and
time-consuming effort that needs to be re-evaluated frequently. Our internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with
GAAP. We are in the process of documenting, reviewing and improving our internal controls and
procedures for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors. Both we and
our independent auditors will be testing our internal controls in connection with the audit of
our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 and, as part of that testing, may
identify areas for further attention and improvement. If we fail to maintain proper and effective
internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be
impaired, which could harm our operating results, harm our ability to operate our business and
reduce the trading price of our stock.
Changes in, or errors in our interpretations and applications of, financial accounting standards
or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and affect our
reported results of operations.
A change in accounting standards or practices can have a significant effect on our reported
results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is
effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements
have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of
current practices or errors in our interpretations and applications of financial accounting
standards or practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way in which we
conduct our business.
We have incurred, and will incur, increased costs and demands upon management as a result of
complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could harm our
operating results.
As a public company, we have incurred, and will incur, significant legal, accounting,
investor relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs
associated with public company reporting requirements. We also have incurred and will incur costs
associated with current corporate governance requirements, including requirements under Section
404 and other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules implemented by the
Securities Exchange Commission and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. We expect these rules and
regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs substantially and to make some
activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that, as a public company, it will be
more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and that it may be more
difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors
or as our executive officers.
42
Government regulation of the rental housing industry, including background screening services and
utility billing, the Internet and e-commerce is evolving, and changes in regulations or our
failure to comply with regulations could harm our operating results.
The rental housing industry is subject to extensive and complex federal, state and local
regulations. Our services and solutions must work within the extensive and evolving regulatory
requirements applicable to our customers and third-party service providers, including, but not
limited to, those under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Deceptive Trade
Practices Act, the DPPA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions
Act, the Privacy Rules, Safeguards Rule and Consumer Report Information Disposal Rule promulgated
by the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, the regulations of the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, and complex and divergent state and local laws and
regulations related to data privacy and security, credit and consumer reporting, deceptive trade
practices, discrimination in housing, utility billing and energy and gas consumption. These
regulations are complex, change frequently and may become more stringent over time. Although we
attempt to structure and adapt our solutions and service offerings to comply with these complex
and evolving laws and regulations, we may be found to be in violation. If we are found to be in
violation of any applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to administrative and other
enforcement actions as well as class action lawsuits. Additionally, many applicable laws and
regulations provide for penalties or assessments on a per occurrence basis. Due to the nature of
our business, the type of services we provide and the large number of transactions processed by
our solutions, our potential liability in an enforcement action or class action lawsuit could be
significant. In addition, entities such as HUD and the FTC have the authority to promulgate rules
and regulations that may impact our customers and our business. We believe increased regulation
is likely in the area of data privacy, and laws and regulations applying to the solicitation,
collection, processing or use of personally identifiable information or consumer information
could affect our customers ability to use and share data, potentially reducing demand for our on
demand software solutions.
We deliver our on demand software solutions over the Internet and sell and market certain of
our solutions over the Internet. As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation
by federal, state or foreign agencies becomes more likely. Taxation of products or services
provided over the Internet or other charges imposed by government agencies or by private
organizations for accessing the Internet may also be imposed. Any regulation imposing greater
fees for Internet use or restricting information exchange over the Internet could result in a
decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of on demand software solutions, which could
harm our business and operating results.
Our LeasingDesk insurance business is subject to governmental regulation which could reduce our
profitability or limit our growth.
We hold insurance agent licenses from a number of individual state departments of insurance
and are subject to state governmental regulation and supervision in connection with the operation
of our LeasingDesk insurance business. This state governmental supervision could reduce our
profitability or limit the growth of our LeasingDesk insurance business by increasing the costs
of regulatory compliance, limiting or restricting the solutions we provide or the methods by
which we provide them or subjecting us to the possibility of regulatory actions or proceedings.
Our continued ability to maintain these insurance agent licenses in the jurisdictions in which we
are licensed depends on our compliance with the rules and regulations promulgated from time to
time by the regulatory authorities in each of these jurisdictions. Furthermore, state insurance
departments conduct periodic examinations, audits and investigations of the affairs of insurance
agents.
In all jurisdictions, the applicable laws and regulations are subject to amendment or
interpretation by regulatory authorities. Generally, such authorities are vested with relatively
broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke licenses and approvals and to implement regulations.
Accordingly, we may be precluded or temporarily suspended from carrying on some or all of the
activities of our LeasingDesk insurance business or otherwise be fined or penalized in a given
jurisdiction. No assurances can be given that our LeasingDesk insurance business can continue to
be conducted in any given jurisdiction as it has been conducted in the past.
We generate commission revenue from the insurance policies we sell as a registered insurance
agent and if insurance
premiums decline or if the insureds experience greater than expected losses, our revenues could
decline and our operating results could be harmed.
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Multifamily Internet Ventures LLC, a managing general
insurance agency, we generate commission revenue from offering liability and renters insurance.
Additionally, Multifamily Internet Ventures LLC has recently commenced the sale of additional
insurance products, including auto and other personal lines insurance, to residents that buy
renters insurance from us. These policies are ultimately underwritten by various insurance
carriers. Some of the property owners and managers that participate in our programs opt to
require residents to purchase rental insurance policies and agree to grant to Multifamily
Internet Ventures LLC exclusive marketing rights at their properties. If demand for residential
rental housing declines, property owners and managers may be forced to reduce their rental rates
and to stop requiring the purchase of rental insurance in order to reduce the overall cost of
renting. If property owners or managers cease to require renters insurance, elect to offer
policies from competing providers or insurance premiums decline, our revenues from selling
insurance policies will be adversely affected.
Additionally, one type of commission paid by insurance carriers to Multifamily Internet
Ventures LLC is contingent commission, which is based on claims experienced at the properties for
which the residents purchase insurance. In the event that claims by the insureds increase
unexpectedly, the contingent commission we typically earn will be adversely affected. As a
result, our quarterly operating results could fall below the expectations of analysts or
investors, in which event our stock price may decline.
43
Our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain
limitations.
In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the
Internal Revenue Code, a corporation that undergoes an ownership change is subject to
limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses, or NOLs, to offset
future taxable income. Our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future
may be subject to limitations. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside
of our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of the NOLs reflected
on our balance sheet, even if we maintain profitability.
If we are required to collect sales and use taxes on the solutions we sell in additional taxing
jurisdictions, we may be subject to liability for past sales and our future sales may decrease.
States and some local taxing jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing
sales and use taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that
may change over time. We review these rules and regulations periodically and currently collect
and remit sales taxes in taxing jurisdictions where we believe we are required to do so. However,
additional state and/or local taxing jurisdictions may seek to impose sales or other tax
collection obligations on us, including for past sales. A successful assertion that we should be
collecting additional sales or other taxes on our solutions could result in substantial tax
liabilities for past sales, discourage customers from purchasing our solutions or may otherwise
harm our business and operating results. This risk is greater with regard to solutions acquired
through acquisitions.
We may also become subject to tax audits or similar procedures in jurisdictions where we
already collect and remit sales taxes. A successful assertion that we have not collected and
remitted taxes at the appropriate levels may also result in substantial tax liabilities for past
sales. Liability for past taxes may also include very substantial interest and penalty charges.
Our customer contracts provide that our customers must pay all applicable sales and similar
taxes. Nevertheless, customers may be reluctant to pay back taxes and may refuse responsibility
for interest or penalties associated with those taxes. If we are required to collect and pay back
taxes and the associated interest and penalties, and if our customers fail or refuse to reimburse
us for all or a portion of these amounts, we will incur unplanned expenses that may be
substantial. Moreover, imposition of such taxes on our solutions going forward will effectively
increase the cost of such solutions to our customers and may adversely affect our ability to
retain existing customers or to gain new customers in the areas in which such taxes are imposed.
Changes in our effective tax rate could harm our future operating results.
We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and various foreign
jurisdictions, and our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to the allocation
of expenses in differing jurisdictions. Our tax rate is affected by changes in the mix of
earnings and losses in jurisdictions with differing statutory tax rates, including jurisdictions
in which we have completed or may complete acquisitions, certain non-deductible expenses arising
from the requirement to expense stock options and the valuation of deferred tax assets and
liabilities, including our ability to utilize our net operating losses. Increases in our
effective tax rate could harm our operating results.
We rely on our management team and need additional personnel to grow our business, and the loss
of one or more key employees or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could
harm our business.
Our success and future growth depend on the skills, working relationships and continued
services of our management team. The loss of our Chief Executive Officer or other senior
executives could adversely affect our business. Our future success also will depend on our
ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled software developers, marketing and sales
personnel, technical support and product development personnel in the United States and
internationally. All of our employees work for us on an at-will basis. Competition for these
types of personnel is intense, particularly in the software industry. As a result, we may be
unable to attract or retain qualified personnel. Our inability to attract and retain the
necessary personnel could adversely affect our business.
Our corporate culture has contributed to our success, and if we cannot maintain this culture as
we grow, we could lose the innovation, creativity and teamwork fostered by our culture, and our
business may be harmed.
We believe that a strong corporate culture that nurtures core values and philosophies is
essential to our long-term success. We call these values and philosophies the RealPage Promise
and we seek to practice the RealPage Promise in our actions every day. The RealPage Promise
embodies our corporate values with respect to customer service, investor communications, employee
respect and professional development and management decision-making and leadership. As our
organization grows and we are required to implement more complex organizational structures, we
may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the beneficial aspects of our corporate culture
which could negatively impact our future success.
44
Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock
The concentration of our capital stock owned by insiders may limit your ability to influence
corporate matters.
Our executive officers, directors, and entities affiliated with them together beneficially
owned approximately 56.4% of our common stock as of March 31, 2011. Further, Stephen T. Winn, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and entities beneficially owned by Mr. Winn
held an aggregate of approximately 39.6% of our common stock as of March 31, 2011. This
significant concentration of ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our common
stock because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with
controlling stockholders. Mr. Winn and entities beneficially owned by Mr. Winn may control our
management and affairs and matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of
directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers, consolidations
or the sale of substantially all of our assets. Consequently, this concentration of ownership may
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, including a merger, consolidation
or other business combination involving us, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a
tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, even if that change of control would
benefit our other stockholders.
The trading price of our common stock price may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to
various factors, including, but not limited to, those described in this Risk Factors section,
some of which are beyond our control. Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock
include:
|
|
|
variations in our operating results or in expectations regarding our operating results; |
|
|
|
|
variations in operating results of similar companies; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of technological innovations, new solutions or
enhancements, strategic alliances or agreements by us or by our
competitors; |
|
|
|
|
announcements by competitors regarding their entry into new markets,
and new product, service and pricing strategies; |
|
|
|
|
marketing and advertising initiatives by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
the gain or loss of customers; |
|
|
|
|
threatened or actual litigation; |
|
|
|
|
major changes in our board of directors or management; |
|
|
|
|
recruitment or departure of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the estimates of our operating results or changes in
recommendations by any research analysts that elect to follow our
common stock; |
|
|
|
|
market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole; |
|
|
|
|
the overall performance of the equity markets; |
|
|
|
|
sales of our shares of common stock by existing stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
volatility in our stock price, which may lead to higher stock-based
compensation expense under applicable accounting standards; and |
|
|
|
|
adoption or modification of regulations, policies, procedures or programs applicable to our business. |
45
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology and specifically
Internet-related companies, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often
been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market
and industry factors may harm the market price of our common stock regardless of our actual
operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall
market and the market price of a particular companys securities, securities class action
litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted
against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our managements attention and
our resources, whether or not we are successful in such litigation.
Our stock price could decline due to the large number of outstanding shares of our common stock
eligible for future sale.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception
that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. These
sales could also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the
future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
As of March 31, 2011, we had 69,520,051 shares of common stock outstanding. Of these shares,
67,401,565 were immediately tradable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act, unless these shares are held by affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act.
As of March 31, 2011, holders of 38,977,999 shares, or approximately 56.1%, of our
outstanding common stock were entitled to rights with respect to the registration of these shares
under the Securities Act. If we register their shares of common stock, these stockholders could
sell those shares in the public market without being subject to the volume and other restrictions
of Rule 144 and Rule 701.
In addition, we have registered approximately 16,584,913 shares of common stock that have
been issued or reserved for future issuance under our stock incentive plans. Of these shares,
4,546,951 shares were eligible for sale upon the exercise of vested options as of March 31, 2011.
Our charter documents and Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider
favorable and could also reduce the market price of our stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws
contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control of our company. These
provisions could also make it more difficult for stockholders to elect directors and take other
corporate actions. These provisions include:
|
|
|
a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms; |
|
|
|
|
not providing for cumulative voting in the election of directors; |
|
|
|
|
authorizing our board of directors to issue, without stockholder
approval, preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common
stock; |
|
|
|
|
prohibiting stockholder action by written consent; and |
|
|
|
|
requiring advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals. |
These and other provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our
amended and restated bylaws and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts,
reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common
stock and result in the market price of our common stock being lower than it would be without
these provisions.
If securities analysts do not continue to publish research or reports about our business or if
they publish negative evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could decline.
We expect that the trading price for our common stock may be affected by research or reports
that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the
analysts who cover us downgrade their evaluations of our stock, the price of our stock could
decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility
in the market for our stock, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable
future. If we do not pay cash dividends, you could receive a return on your investment in our
common stock only if the market price of our common stock has increased when you sell your
shares. In addition, the terms of our credit facilities currently restrict our ability to pay
dividends.
