NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
1. Organization and Description of Business
 
OpenTable, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “OpenTable” or the “Company”), was incorporated on October 13, 1998, and is a Delaware corporation. The Company provides solutions that form an online network connecting reservation-taking restaurants and people who dine at those restaurants. For restaurant customers, the Company provides a proprietary Electronic Reservation Book (“ERB”) and Connect. The ERB combines proprietary software and computer hardware to deliver a solution that computerizes restaurant host-stand operations and replaces traditional pen-and-paper reservation books. The ERB streamlines and enhances a number of business-critical functions and processes for restaurants, including reservation management, table management, guest recognition and email marketing. For restaurants that do not require the operational benefits of the ERB, OpenTable offers Connect, a web-based solution that enables participating restaurants to receive reservations from OpenTable’s websites and mobile applications (“apps”) as well as the websites and mobile apps of OpenTable’s partners and restaurant customers. For diners, the Company operates popular restaurant reservation websites and mobile apps. OpenTable’s websites and mobile apps enable diners to find, choose and book tables at restaurants on the OpenTable network, overcoming the inefficiencies associated with the traditional process of reserving by phone.
 
Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Company operates in a dynamic industry, and accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, management of the Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the ability to maintain an adequate rate of growth; the impact of the economic conditions on its business; the ability to attract new restaurant customers; the ability to increase the number of visitors to its websites and mobile apps and convert those visitors into diners; and the ability to retain existing restaurant customers and diners or encourage repeat reservations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OpenTable, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as filed on February 21, 2014 with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP, including notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s statement of financial position at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period. All references to March 31, 2014 or to the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Acquisition of Ness
In February 2014, the Company acquired Ness Computing, Inc., a provider of mobile personalized restaurant recommendations, for a purchase price of approximately $17.2 million in cash, or $11.3 million net of cash acquired. The Company recorded $1.2 million of goodwill and $8.5 million of developed technology which is being amortized over three years. The Company has included the effects of the transaction within the results of operations prospectively from February 4, 2014, the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information for this business combination has not been presented, as the effects were not material to the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company believes that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective that will have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no investments that had maturity dates of greater than one year.

The Company classifies all investments as Level 2 assets.
 
The Company chose not to elect the fair value option as prescribed by ASC Topic 825—Financial Instruments for its financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. Therefore, financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value, such as accounts payable, are still reported at their carrying values.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from one to four years. Amortization of intangible assets was $1.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangibles subject to amortization, estimated future annual amortization expense is as follows: 2014 (remainder): $6.7 million; 2015: $6.0 million; 2016: $3.4 million; 2017: $1.1 million and 2018: $0.4 million. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Instead, they are reviewed for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The Company has defined its annual intangible impairment evaluation date as August 31. The Company performed its annual intangible impairment evaluation as of August 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying amount of the indefinite life intangible assets did not exceed the fair value. There was no impairment of indefinite life intangible assets as of December 31, 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company made a decision to discontinue the use of the toptable brand name in the U.K. marketplace and transition to a single OpenTable brand internationally, beginning in April 2014. Accordingly, the Company determined that the indefinite-lived toptable trademark was impaired as of March 31, 2014, resulting in an impairment loss of $12.6 million.
 
Goodwill is evaluated at the reporting unit level for impairment annually, or more frequently if events and conditions indicate goodwill may be impaired. The evaluation for impairment is performed by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit fair value, then the second step of the impairment test is performed to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The Company has defined its annual goodwill impairment evaluation date as August 31. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of August 31, 2013 and determined that the carrying amount of goodwill did not exceed the fair value of either reporting units. Additionally, there was no impairment of goodwill as of March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

5. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Contractual Obligations
 
The Company leases its facilities under operating leases. These leases expire at various dates through 2020. The terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

5. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Litigation
 
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

6. Stockholders’ Equity
 
Treasury Stock
 
In August 2012, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $50.0 million of its outstanding common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company purchased 137,500 shares of stock for $8.3 million (including commissions) under this share repurchase program. No amounts were purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which requires compensation costs related to share-based transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on fair value.
 
Stock Options
 
Under Topic 718, the fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The following table summarizes the assumptions relating to the Company’s stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

The Company granted 69,486 and 31,518 stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $2.8 million and $4.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
Restricted Stock Units
 
The cost of RSUs is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest and become exercisable annually, based on a one- to four-year total vesting term. Stock-based compensation expense is amortized using a graded vesting attribution method over the requisite service period.
 
The Company granted 207,108 and 97,254 RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs of $1.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Topic 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

7. Net Income Per Share
 
The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260—Earnings per Share.
 
Non-vested performance-based awards are included in the diluted shares outstanding each period if established performance criteria have been met at the end of the respective periods. 97,600 shares were excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as the performance criteria had not been met as of such date. In June 2013, all remaining non-vested performance-based awards were cancelled. As such, no such shares were included in the dilutive shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
 
Anti-dilutive shares in the amounts of 2,339,000 and 281,000 were excluded from the dilutive shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

8. Income Taxes
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million which resulted in an effective tax rate of (39.5)%. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.8 million which resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.1%. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company's effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the $2.5 million of tax effects arising from the impairment loss of the toptable trademark as disclosed in Note 4. Excluding the tax effects of the impairment loss, the expected tax provision (derived from applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s income before income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2014) did not significantly differ from the Company’s recorded income tax provision. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is not necessarily indicative of the effective tax rate that may be expected for fiscal year 2014.

8. Income Taxes (Continued)

ASC Topic 740—Income Taxes prescribes that a tax position is required to meet a minimum recognition threshold before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits were $17.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of accrued interest. No significant penalties have been recorded to date.

9. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
In accordance with Topic 220—Comprehensive Income, the Company reports by major components and, as a single total, the change in its net assets during the period from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which includes certain changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). Specifically, it includes cumulative foreign currency translation and unrealized gains (losses) from investments.
 
Accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.3 million and $1.1 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, was comprised entirely of foreign currency translation gains.

10. Segment Information
 
The Company operates in one industry—online restaurant reservations and guest management solutions. The Company has two reportable segments: North America and International, as defined by Topic 280 — Segment Reporting. Reportable segments have been identified based on how management makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources. The chief executive officer acts as the chief operating decision maker on behalf of both segments. The Company does not allocate assets discretely by reportable segments, and reviews asset information on a global basis, not by segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as filed on February 21, 2014 with the SEC (the “2013 Annual Report”).
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “would” and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included below and in our 2013 Annual Report. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Overview
 
We provide solutions that form an online network connecting reservation-taking restaurants and people who dine at those restaurants. Our solutions for restaurants include our proprietary Electronic Reservation Book, or ERB, Guest Center and Connect, as well as a number of related products and services. Our solutions for diners include our popular restaurant reservation websites and mobile applications, or apps. The OpenTable network includes more than 31,000 OpenTable restaurant customers spanning all 50 states as well as select markets outside of the United States. Since our inception in 1998, we have seated over 620 million diners through OpenTable reservations, and during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we seated an average of approximately 15.6 million diners per month. Restaurants that use our ERB pay us a one-time installation fee for onsite installation and training, a monthly subscription fee for the use of our software and hardware and a fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations, as applicable. Restaurants that use Connect pay us a fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations. In the first quarter of 2014, we introduced Guest Center, a cloud-based solution. Restaurants that use Guest Center pay us a one-time set-up fee for onsite set-up and training, a monthly subscription fee for the use of the service and a fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations. Diners can use our online restaurant reservation service for free. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our net revenues were $53.8 million and $45.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our reservation revenues accounted for 64% and 60% of our total revenues, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our subscription revenues accounted for 31% and 32% of our total revenues, respectively, and our other revenues accounted for 5% and 8% of our revenues, respectively.
 
In 2004, we began to selectively expand outside of North America into countries that have a large number of online consumer transactions and reservation-taking restaurants. To date, we have concentrated our international efforts in Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom. Our revenues outside of North America for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $7.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, or 15% and 13% of our total revenues, respectively.

We intend to continue to incur substantial expenses in advance of recognizing related revenues as we attempt to further penetrate our existing international markets and selectively enter new markets. Some international markets may fail to meet our expectations, and we may decide to realign our focus.

Basis of Presentation
 
General
 

15

Table of Contents


We report consolidated operations in U.S. dollars and operate in two geographic segments: North America and International. The North America segment is comprised of all of our operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and the International segment is comprised of all non-North America operations, which includes operations in certain countries in Europe and Asia.
 
Revenues
 
We generate substantially all of our revenues from our restaurant customers. Our revenues include monthly subscription fees, a fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations and other revenue. Subscription revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis during the contractual period over which the service is delivered to our restaurant customers. Revenues from online reservations are recognized on a transaction basis as the diners are seated by the restaurant. Revenues are shown net of redeemable Dining Points issued to diners. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Dining Rewards Loyalty Programs” in our 2013 Annual Report.
 
Costs and Expenses
 
Operations and support.  Our operations and support expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs, including bonuses and stock-based compensation, for those employees associated with installation, support and maintenance for our restaurant customers, as well as costs related to our outsourced call center. Operations and support expenses also include restaurant equipment costs, such as depreciation on restaurant-related hardware, shipping costs related to restaurant equipment, restaurant equipment costs that do not meet the capitalization threshold, referral payments and website connectivity costs. Operations and support expenses also include amortization of intangibles, resulting from various acquisitions, and capitalized website and software development costs (see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Website and Software Development Costs” in our 2013 Annual Report). Also included in operations and support expenses are travel and related expenses incurred by the employees providing installation and support services for our restaurant customers, plus allocated facilities costs.
 
Sales and marketing.  Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and incentive compensation for sales and marketing employees, including stock-based compensation. Also included are expenses for online and offline marketing, trade shows, public relations and other promotional and marketing activities, travel and entertainment expenses and allocated facilities costs.
 
Technology.  Our technology expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, including bonuses and stock-based compensation, for employees and contractors engaged in the development and ongoing maintenance of our websites, infrastructure and software, as well as allocated facilities costs.
 
General and administrative.  Our general and administrative costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits, including stock-based compensation, for general and administrative employees and contractors involved in executive, finance, accounting, risk management, human resources and legal roles. In addition, general and administrative costs include consulting, legal, accounting and other professional fees. Bad debt, third-party payment processor, credit card, bank processing fees and allocated facilities costs are also included in general and administrative expenses.
 
Headcount consists of full-time equivalent employees, including full-time equivalent temporary employees, in all of the sections noted below.

Other Income, Net
 
Other income, net consists primarily of interest income, financing costs and foreign exchange gains and losses.
 
Income Taxes
 
We are subject to income tax in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Earnings from our non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may also be subject to current U.S. income tax.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of (39.5)%. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded income tax expense of $2.8 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 28.1%. The tax provision and the effective tax rate for the three months ended

Table of Contents


March 31, 2014 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the tax effects of the loss recorded for the impairment of the toptable.co.uk Ltd. (now known as OpenTable International Limited), or toptable, trademark, as disclosed in Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is not necessarily indicative of the effective tax rate that may be expected for fiscal year 2014.
 
Additional factors that impact our income tax provision include, but are not limited to, recognition of state research and development tax benefits and the federal Domestic Manufacturing Deduction.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
In presenting our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures.
 
Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. 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. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our future estimates may change if the underlying assumptions change. 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 consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition;
Dining Rewards Loyalty Programs;
Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill;
Website and Software Development Costs; and
Income Taxes.
 
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 2013 Annual Report, except for the $12.6 million impairment loss recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2014. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. For further information on our critical and other significant accounting policies, see our 2013 Annual Report.

Segments
 
We have two reportable segments: North America and International. In both segments, we derive revenue primarily from online reservations and guest management solutions. Total North America revenues increased from $39.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $46.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. North America reservation revenues increased from $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $28.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. North America reservation revenues increased as a result of an increase in seated diners. North America subscription revenues increased from $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. North America subscription revenues increased as a result of an increase in installed restaurants. North America income from operations decreased from $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in income from operations is due to increases in online marketing expenses.
 
Total International revenues increased from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  International reservation revenues increased from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. International reservation revenues increased as a result of an increase in seated diners. International subscription revenues increased from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. International subscription revenues increased, despite a decline in installed restaurants, due to an increase in ERB customers compared to Connect customers. International other revenues decreased from $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to a change in the pricing of our promotional products from a flat rate to a pay-for-performance model, which is now classified as reservation revenues.
 
International loss from operations increased from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The increase in the loss from operations is due to a $12.6 million impairment loss on the toptable trademark, partially offset by improved results in the international segment.  Refer to Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on intangible assets, and Note 10 for additional segment information.

Our operations and support expenses increased $3.0 million, or 26%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in operations and support expense was primarily attributable to an increase of $0.9 million in amortization of acquired intangibles, resulting from various acquisitions, and an increase of $0.9 million in the amortization of capitalized website and software development costs. Also contributing to the increase was a $0.5 million increase to headcount-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense.

Impairment of acquired intangibles increased $12.6 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, we decided to discontinue the use of the toptable brand name in the U.K. marketplace and transition to a single OpenTable brand internationally, beginning in April 2014. Accordingly, we determined that the indefinite-lived toptable trademark was impaired as of March 31, 2014, resulting in an impairment loss of $12.6 million.

Income tax expense decreased $1.8 million, or 63%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. This resulted in an effective tax rate of (39.5)% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to an effective tax rate of 28.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The tax provision and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the tax effects of the loss recorded for the impairment of the toptable trademark. Refer to Note 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is not necessarily indicative of the effective tax rate that may be expected for fiscal year 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $103.5 million and short-term investments of $14.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and U.S. government agency securities. Short-term investments consist of U.S. government agency securities and certificates of deposit.

Amounts deposited with third-party financial institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, and Securities Investor Protection Corporation, or SIPC, insurance limits, as applicable. These cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances could be affected if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subjected to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.
 
In January 2013, we entered into a credit agreement, which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility of $50.0 million to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes. This revolving credit facility expires in January 2016. The credit agreement includes an unused line fee, the costs of which are recorded in interest expense. The credit agreement includes various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in the obligation to repay all amounts then outstanding. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under this credit agreement during the three months ended and at March 31, 2014. There were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility at March 31, 2014 and at December 31, 2013.
 
Since our initial public offering in 2009, we have been able to finance our operations, including international expansion, through cash from North America operating activities and proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options. We had cash and cash equivalents of $103.5 million at March 31, 2014 and we believe we will have sufficient cash to support our operating activities and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

Operating Activities
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, operating activities provided $15.6 million in cash, primarily as a result of $18.2 million in depreciation and amortization, including the impairment of acquired intangibles of $12.6 million, $4.4 million in stock-based compensation, and a $2.8 million increase in dining rewards payable, partially offset by a net loss of $3.6 million and a $5.1 million decrease in deferred taxes.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, operating activities provided $12.1 million in cash, primarily as a result of net income of $7.1 million, $4.6 million in stock-based compensation and $3.5 million in depreciation and amortization.

Investing Activities
 
Our primary investing activities have consisted of purchases, sales and maturities of short-term investments and purchases of property, equipment and software and the investment in business acquisitions. We expect to have ongoing capital expenditure requirements to support our growing restaurant installed base and other infrastructure needs. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we paid $17.2 million, or $11.3 million net of cash acquired, to acquire Ness Computing, Inc. We also purchased $5.1 million of property, equipment and software, net.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we paid $10.1 million to acquire Foodspotting, Inc. and purchased $4.7 million of property, equipment and software, net. Also in the three months ended March 31, 2013, we purchased $1.3 million (net of sales and maturities) of short-term investments.

Financing Activities
 
Our primary financing activities consist of proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to equity incentive plans and the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased $8.3 million of common shares (including commissions) under our share repurchase program announced in August 2012.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of March 31, 2014, we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations
 
As of March 31, 2014, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include primarily interest rate and foreign exchange risks.
 
Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk
 
We do not have any long-term borrowings.

Our investments include cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and U.S. government agency securities. Short-term investments consist of U.S. government agency securities and certificates of deposit. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our investments are exposed to market risk due to a fluctuation in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair market value of our investments. Due to the short-term nature of our investment portfolio, we do not believe an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio, and therefore we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected to any degree by a sudden change in market interest rates.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
 
We have foreign currency risks related to our revenues and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the British pound sterling, the euro, the Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, the Indian rupee and the Mexican peso. We do not believe movements in the foreign currencies in which we transact will significantly affect future net earnings. Foreign currency risk can be quantified by estimating the change in cash flows resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates. We believe such a change would not have a material impact on our results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no

Table of Contents


evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, 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 controls. 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 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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our 2013 Annual Report. The risks described in our 2013 Annual Report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
Limitations on the Payment of Dividends
 
Our current line of credit precludes the payment of dividends without the permission of the lender; see Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
 
None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
 
Not applicable.
