Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statement
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These statements include, among other things:
our expectations regarding revenue, costs and expenses;
our plans regarding investing in our content delivery network, as well as other products and technologies;
our beliefs regarding the growth of, and competition within, the content delivery industry;
our beliefs regarding the growth of our business and how that impacts our liquidity and capital resources requirements;
our expectations regarding headcount;
the impact of certain new accounting standards and guidance;
our plans with respect to investments in marketable securities;
our expectations and strategies regarding acquisitions;
our expectations regarding the Akamai litigation and other pending or potential disputes;
our estimations regarding taxes and belief regarding our tax reserves;
our beliefs regarding the use of Non-GAAP financial measures;
our approach to identifying, attracting and keeping new and existing customers, as well as our expectations regarding customer turnover;
the sufficiency of our sources of funding;
our belief regarding our interest rate risk; and
our beliefs regarding the significance of our large customers;
as well as other statements regarding our financial condition and prospects, future operations, and business strategies. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events, as well as trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those discussed in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In addition, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms "Limelight," "we," "us," and "our" in this document refer to Limelight Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate, its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Limelight Networks, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2015
1. Nature of Business
Limelight operates a globally distributed, high-performance network and provides a suite of integrated services including content delivery services, video content management services, performance services for website and web application acceleration and security, and cloud storage services.
We were incorporated in Delaware in 2003, and have operated in the Phoenix metropolitan area since 2001 and elsewhere throughout the United States since 2003. We began international operations in 2004.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. Such interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented and of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015, or for any future periods. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. All information is presented in thousands, except per share amounts and where specifically noted.
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Limelight and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In addition, certain other reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results and outcomes may differ from those estimates. The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015, or for any other future periods.
Recent Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, which includes amendments that change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and require additional disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations - that is, a major effect on the organization's operations and financial results - should be presented as discontinued operations. Examples include a disposal of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. Additionally, this ASU requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2015. The new guidance would only impact us upon the disposal of a business.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Accordingly, public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods)

Table of Contents

beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted but not before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of the retrospective or the modified approach method. We have not yet selected a transition method, and are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, which provides guidance for disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 defines management's responsibility to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance will be effective for us in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within such year; however, early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, which provides a revised consolidation model for all reporting entities to use in evaluating whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities will be subject to reevaluation under this revised consolidation model. The revised consolidation model, among other things, (i) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and (iii) modifies the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs through fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-2 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after September 1, 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, which requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this standards update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, which clarifies the treatment of debt issuance costs from line-of-credit arrangements after the adoption of ASU 2015-03. In particular, ASU 2015-15 clarifies that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of such arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. We believe the adoption of ASU 2015-15 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance will not change U.S. GAAP for a customer's accounting for service contracts. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-10, which covers a wide range of topics in the codification. The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify the codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost on most entities. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16 which requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Prior to the issuance of the standard, entities were required to retrospectively apply adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of this standards update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2015, we evaluated our marketable securities and determined unrealized losses were due to fluctuations in interest rates. We do not believe any of the unrealized losses represented an other-than-temporary impairment based on our evaluation of available evidence as of September 30, 2015. Our intent is to hold these investments to such time as these assets are no longer impaired. We view our available-for-sale securities as available to fund current operations.

5. Goodwill
We have recorded goodwill as a result of past business acquisitions. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. In each of our acquisitions, the objective of the acquisition was to expand our product offerings and customer base and to achieve synergies related to cross selling opportunities, all of which contributed to the recognition of goodwill.
We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. We concluded that we have one reporting unit and assigned the entire balance of goodwill to this reporting unit. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is determined using our market capitalization as of our annual impairment assessment date or each reporting date if circumstances indicate the goodwill might be impaired. Items that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect key assumptions used in estimating fair value include but are not limited to:
sustained decline in our stock price due to a decline in its financial performance due to the loss of key customers, loss of key personnel, emergence of new technologies or new competitors;
decline in overall market or economic conditions leading to a decline in our stock price; and
decline in observed control premiums paid in business combinations involving comparable companies.
No interim indicators of impairment were identified as of September 30, 2015. Foreign currency translation adjustments decreased the carrying amount of goodwill for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, by $285 and $37, respectively.

Legal Matters
Akamai Litigation
In June 2006, Akamai Technologies, Inc. (Akamai) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that we were infringing two patents assigned to MIT and exclusively licensed by MIT to Akamai, United States Patent No. 6,553,413 (the ’413 patent) and United States Patent No. 6,108,703 (the ’703 patent). In September 2006, Akamai and MIT expanded their claims to assert infringement of a third patent United States Patent No. 7,103,645 (the ’645 patent). Before trial, Akamai waived by stipulation its claims of indirect or induced infringement and proceeded to trial only on the theory of direct infringement. In February 2008, a jury returned a verdict in this lawsuit, finding that we infringed four claims of the ’703 patent at issue and rejecting our invalidity defenses. The jury awarded an aggregate of approximately $45,500, which includes lost profits, reasonable royalties and price erosion damages for the period April 2005 through December 31, 2007. In addition, the jury awarded prejudgment interest, which we estimated to be $2,600 at December 31, 2007. We recorded an aggregate $48,100 as a provision for litigation as of December 31, 2007. During 2008, we recorded a potential additional provision of approximately $17,500 for potential additional infringement damages and interest. The total provision for litigation at December 31, 2008 was $65,600.
On July 1, 2008, the District Court denied our Motions for Judgment as a Matter of Law (JMOL), Obviousness, and a New Trial. The District Court also denied Akamai’s Motion for Permanent Injunction as premature and its Motions for Summary Judgment regarding our equitable defenses. The District Court conducted a bench trial in November 2008 regarding our equitable defenses. We also filed a motion for reconsideration of the District Court’s earlier denial of our motion for JMOL. Our motion for JMOL was based largely upon a clarification in the standard for a finding of joint infringement articulated by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in the case of Muniauction, Inc. v. Thomson Corp., released after the District Court denied our initial motion for JMOL. On April 24, 2009, the District Court issued its order and memorandum setting aside the adverse jury verdict and ruling that we did not infringe Akamai’s ’703 patent and that we were entitled to JMOL. Based upon the District Court’s April 24, 2009 order, we reversed the $65,600 provision for litigation previously recorded for this lawsuit as we no longer believed that payment of any amounts represented by the litigation provision was probable. The District Court entered final judgment in our favor on May 22, 2009, and Akamai filed its notice of appeal of the District Court’s decision on May 26, 2009. On December 20, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued its opinion affirming the District Court’s entry of judgment in our favor. On February 18, 2011, Akamai filed a motion with the Federal Circuit seeking a rehearing and rehearing en banc. On April 21, 2011, the Federal Circuit issued an order denying the petition for rehearing, granting the petition for rehearing en banc, vacating the December 20, 2010 opinion affirming the District Court’s entry of judgment in our favor, and reinstated the appeal.
On August 31, 2012, the Federal Circuit issued its opinion in the case. The Federal Circuit stated that the District Court correctly determined that we did not directly infringe Akamai’s ’703 patent and upheld the District Court’s decision to vacate the original jury’s damages award. The Federal Circuit also held that we did not infringe Akamai’s ’413 or ’645 patents. A slim majority in this three-way divided opinion also announced a revised legal theory of induced infringement, remanded the case to the District Court, and gave Akamai an opportunity for a new trial to attempt to prove that we induced our customers to infringe Akamai’s patent under the Federal Circuit's new legal standard. On December 28, 2012, we filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court to appeal this sharply divided Federal Circuit decision. Akamai then filed a cross petition for consideration of the Court of Appeals' standard for direct infringement followed by an opposition to our petition. On January 10, 2014, the Supreme Court granted our petition for writ of certiorari and did not act on Akamai's cross petition. On April 30, 2014, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in our case. On June 2, 2014, the Supreme Court issued its decision and reversed the Federal Circuit's decision, remanding the case back to that court.
Following the Supreme Court decision, on July 24, 2014, the Federal Circuit issued an order vacating its prior judgment, reinstating the appeals, dissolving its en banc status, and referring the case back to the original Court of Appeals

panel for further proceedings. The Federal Circuit heard arguments on September 11, 2014, and on May 13, 2015, the Federal Circuit issued its opinion in the case, holding that we did not infringe Akamai's '703 patent. On June 12, 2015, Akamai filed a motion with the Federal Circuit seeking a rehearing en banc. On August 13, 2015, the Federal Circuit reversed its earlier decisions in our favor and reinstated the 2008 jury verdict holding us liable for direct infringement of the '703 patent. As a result of this reversal and due to the complexity of the remaining matters outstanding and the procedural status of the case, we believe a loss is reasonably possible, but not probable. If the ultimate outcome were to be unfavorable, we have estimated the loss could be up to $76,000. We intend to continue vigorously defending our position in this ongoing dispute. As of September 30, 2015, we have not recorded a provision for a loss contingency related to this allegation in our consolidated financial statements.
Legal and other expenses associated with this case have been significant. We include these litigation expenses in general and administrative expenses as incurred, as reported in the consolidated statement of operations.
Other Litigation
We are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Litigation relating to the content delivery services industry is not uncommon, and we are, and from time to time have been, subject to such litigation. No assurances can be given with respect to the extent or outcome of any such litigation in the future.
Other Matters
We are subject to indirect taxation in various states and foreign jurisdictions. Laws and regulations that apply to communications and commerce conducted over the Internet are becoming more prevalent, both in the United States and internationally, and may impose additional burdens on us conducting business online or providing Internet-related services. Increased regulation could negatively affect our business directly, as well as the businesses of our customers, which could reduce their demand for our services. For example, tax authorities in various states and abroad may impose taxes on the Internet-related revenue we generate based on regulations currently being applied to similar but not directly comparable industries.
There are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In addition, domestic and international taxation laws are subject to change. In the future, we may come under audit, which could result in changes to our tax estimates. We believe we maintain adequate tax reserves to offset potential liabilities that may arise upon audit. Although we believe our tax estimates and associated reserves are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than the amounts established for tax contingencies. To the extent these estimates ultimately prove to be inaccurate, the associated reserves would be adjusted, resulting in the recording of a benefit or expense in the period in which a change in estimate or a final determination is made.
10. Net Loss per Share
We calculate basic and diluted earnings per weighted average share based on net loss. We use the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period for the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of all potentially dilutive common stock, including awards granted under our equity incentive compensation plans in the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, potentially dilutive common stock, including awards granted under our equity incentive compensation plans of 3,597 (stock options 1,333, restricted stock units 1,760, employee stock purchase plan 504) and 2,593 (stock options 748, restricted stock units 1,738, employee stock purchase plan 107), respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have been anti-dilutive.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, potentially dilutive common stock, including awards granted under our equity incentive compensation plans of 5,065 (stock options 1,843, restricted stock units 2,718, employee stock purchase plan 504) and 2,323 (stock options 653, restricted stock units 1,563, employee stock purchase plan 107), respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have been anti-dilutive.
11. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock
On February 12, 2014, our board of directors authorized a $15,000 share repurchase program. Under this authorization, we may repurchase shares periodically in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities rules regarding issuer repurchases. We did not purchase any shares during the three months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased and canceled 293 shares for $818, including commissions and expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased and canceled approximately 447 and 947 shares, respectively, for approximately $1,267 and $2,500, respectively, including commissions and expenses. All repurchased shares were canceled and returned to authorized but unissued status.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In June 2013, our stockholders approved our 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The ESPP allows participants to purchase our common stock at a 15% discount of the lower of the beginning or end of the offering period using the closing price on that day. We did not issue any shares under the ESPP during the three months ended September 30, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we issued 202 shares under the ESPP. Total cash proceeds from the purchase of shares under the ESPP was approximately $451. As of September 30, 2015, shares reserved for issuance to employees under this plan totaled 3,394, and we held employee contributions of $817 (included in other current liabilities) for future purchases under the ESPP.
12. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

We currently expect to recognize share-based compensation expense of $2,882 during the remainder of 2015, $10,047 in 2016 and the remainder thereafter based on scheduled vesting of the stock options and restricted stock units outstanding at September 30, 2015.
14. Leases and Commitments

Capital Leases
We leased equipment under capital lease agreements that extended through 2017. The outstanding balance for capital leases was $358 as of December 31, 2014. In March 2015, we paid $323, which represented the outstanding balance of our capital lease obligations. As of September 30, 2015, we had no outstanding capital lease obligations. Interest expense for all periods presented was immaterial.
15. Concentrations
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had no customer who represented 10% or more of our total revenue.
Revenue from customers located within the United States, our country of domicile, was $22,997 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $21,536 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, revenue from customers located within the United States was $74,269, compared to $70,820 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had two countries, based on customer location, the United States and Japan, that accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues.
16. Income Taxes
Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. Based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and discrete items, income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, was $76 and $98, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, income tax expense was $221 and $181, respectively. Income tax expense was different than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to us providing for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions, and the recording of state and foreign tax expense for the three and nine month periods.
We file income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Tax years 2012 through 2014 remain subject to examination by federal tax authorities. Tax years 2011 through 2014 generally remain subject to examination by state tax authorities. As of September 30, 2015, our 2012 federal income tax return is under audit. As of September 30, 2015 we are not under any state examination for income taxes.
17. Segment Reporting and Geographic Areas
Our chief operating decision maker (whom is our Chief Executive Officer) reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating our financial performance. We operate in one industry segment — content delivery and related services. We operate in three geographic areas — Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific.
Revenue by geography is based on the location of the customer from which the revenue is earned. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a $1,000 convertible debt security, classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2014, was converted into preferred shares of the issuing entity. As a result of the conversion, we recognized $275 in gain, related to a beneficial conversion feature, which is included in other income (expense) in our statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. After conversion, at September 30, 2015, the investment is carried at cost of $1,275 and is evaluated for impairment quarterly or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the investment may exceed its fair value. We did not estimate the fair value of the investment because we did not identify any events or circumstances that would have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Determining fair value is not practicable because the preferred shares are not publicly traded and information necessary to determine fair value is not available. The cost basis investment was reclassified to, and is included in, other assets in our consolidated balance sheet, and is no longer subject to fair value measurement disclosures and was accordingly transferred out of Level 3.
The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value because their maturity is less than three months. The carrying amount of short-term and long-term marketable securities approximates fair value as the securities are marked to market as of each balance sheet date with any unrealized gains and losses reported in stockholders’ equity. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the amounts.
19. Subsequent Events
In October 2015, our board of directors approved a restructuring and reduction in force plan of 44 employees, or approximately 8% of our global workforce.  We estimate that we will incur restructuring charges in the quarter ended December 31, 2015 of approximately $1,000, comprised of the write-off of intangible assets of $500 and cash payments for severance costs of approximately $500.
On November 2, 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit borrowings up to a maximum principal amount of $25,000. We are subject to a borrowing base calculation to determine the amount available to us. Our borrowing capacity is the lesser of the commitment amount or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. All outstanding borrowings owed under the Credit Agreement become due and payable no later than the final maturity date of November 2, 2017.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at our option of one, two, three or six-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.75% or an Alternative Base Rate (ABR), which is defined as the higher of (a) Wall Street Journal prime rate or (b) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 0.50% or 1.50% depending on our minimum liquidity, as defined in the Credit Agreement.  If we fall below a minimum liquidity of $17,500, we are required to use the ABR interest rate. We incurred a commitment fee of 0.25% upon entering into the Credit Agreement and 0.20% to be paid on the one year anniversary of closing. In addition, there is an unused line fee of 0.375% if our minimum liquidity is greater than $17,500. If our minimum liquidity falls below $17,500, the unused line fee is 0.250%.
Any borrowings are secured by essentially all of our domestic personal property, with a negative pledge on intellectual property. SVB’s security interest in our foreign subsidiaries is limited to 65% of voting stock of each such foreign subsidiary.
We are required to comply with various financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. Specifically, we are required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, as defined in the Credit Agreement. In addition, we have a maximum unfinanced capital expenditures amount of $30,000 for 2015 and $25,000 per annum thereafter.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in Part II of our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, on February 17, 2015.
Prior period information has been modified to conform to current year presentation. All information in this Item 2 is presented in thousands, except per share amounts, customer count and where specifically noted.
Overview
We were founded in 2001 as a provider of content delivery network services to deliver digital content over the Internet. We began development of our infrastructure in 2001 and began generating meaningful revenue in 2002. Today, we operate a globally distributed, high-performance, computing platform (our global network) and provide a suite of integrated services including content delivery services, video content management services, performance services for website and web application acceleration and security, and cloud storage services.
We derive revenue primarily from the sale of components of the Orchestrate Platform. Our delivery services represented approximately 77% of our total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. We also generate revenue through the sale of professional services and other infrastructure services, such as transit and rack space services. We believe continued increases in content delivery traffic growth rates is an important trend that will continue to outpace declining average selling prices in the industry.
On August 13, 2015, the Federal Circuit reversed its earlier decisions in our favor and reinstated the 2008 jury verdict holding us liable for direct infringement of the '703 patent. As a result of this reversal and due to the complexity of the remaining matters outstanding and the procedural status of the case, we believe a loss is reasonably possible, but not probable. If the ultimate outcome were to be unfavorable, we have estimated the loss could be up to $76,000. Please refer to Note 9 “Contingencies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In October 2015, our board of directors approved a restructuring and reduction in force plan of 44 employees, or approximately 8% of our global workforce. The restructuring is part of an overall plan to create a more efficient, competitive and profitable company.  We intend to reinvest the savings from the restructuring in our strategic priorities to drive growth.  We estimate that we will incur restructuring charges in the quarter ended December 31, 2015 of approximately $1,000, comprised of the write-off of intangible assets of $500 and cash payments for severance costs of approximately $500.
On November 2, 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit borrowings up to a maximum principal amount of $25,000. This Credit Agreement will provide additional liquidity as we continue to execute our growth strategy through innovative product development and select global market expansion.
We operate in markets that are highly competitive. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience increased competition in price, features, functionality, integration and other factors leading to customer churn and customers operating their own network. Although during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had no customer who represented 10% or more of our total revenue, changes in revenue are driven by a small subset of large customers who have low contractually committed obligations.
In addition to these revenue-related trends, our profitability is impacted by trends in our costs of services and operating expenses. We continue to work with our vendors to renegotiate our fixed rate infrastructure contracts to variable rate in order to scale our operations based on traffic levels and lower bandwidth costs per unit. Our operating expenses are largely driven by payroll and related employee costs. We increased headcount from 520 at December 31, 2014, to 556 as of September 30, 2015, primarily in our research and development and sales organizations. Following our reduction in force in October 2015, we have approximately 512 employees.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (Non-GAAP) net loss, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net loss to be an important indicator of overall business performance. We define Non-GAAP net loss to be U.S. GAAP net loss, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, litigation defense expenses, amortization of intangible assets, discontinued operations and the gain (loss) on sale of our web content management (WCM) business. We believe that EBITDA from continuing operations provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define EBITDA from continuing operations as U.S. GAAP net loss, adjusted to exclude interest and other (income) expense, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, discontinued operations and gain (loss) on sale of WCM. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA from continuing operations adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and litigation defense expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors’ use of operating performance comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.
In our November 3, 2015, earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation costs;
these measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
these measures do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

Table of Contents

while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
other companies may calculate EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA from continuing operations, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In accordance with the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Our revenue increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus the comparable 2014 periods primarily due to an increase in our content delivery revenue, which was driven by volume increases with certain of our larger customers, partially offset by a decrease in average selling price.
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 included $1,191 and $11,417, respectively, of revenue from Netflix whose contract expired in July 2014. Our active customers worldwide decreased to 981 as of September 30, 2015, compared to 1,134 as of September 30, 2014. We are continuing our selective approach to accepting profitable business by establishing a clear process for identifying customers that value quality, performance, availability, and service.
During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, sales to our top 20 customers accounted for approximately 58% and 50%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, sales to our top 20 customers accounted for approximately 56% and 50%, respectively of our total revenue. The customers that comprised our top 20 customers have continually changed, and our large customers may not continue to be as significant going forward as they have been in the past.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had no customer who represented 10% or more of our total revenue.
    Revenue by geography is based on the location of the customer from which the revenue is earned. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area (in thousands and as a percentage of total revenue):

We invoice our customers primarily in U.S. dollars. However, we have certain customers invoiced in local currencies. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to these local currencies resulted in a decrease in U.S. dollar revenues of approximately $1,000 when comparing the average exchange rates for the three months ended September 30, 2015, versus the comparable 2014 period.
We expect revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015, to total between $170,000 and $174,000.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of fees paid to network providers for bandwidth and backbone, costs incurred for non-settlement free peering and connection to Internet Service Providers or ISPs, and fees paid to data center operators for

housing of our network equipment in third party network data centers, also known as co-location costs. Cost of revenue also includes leased warehouse space and utilities, depreciation of network equipment used to deliver our content delivery services, payroll and related costs, and share-based compensation for our network operations and professional services personnel. Other costs include professional fees and outside services, travel and travel-related expenses and royalty expenses.

Our cost of revenue increased in aggregate dollars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus the comparable 2014 periods. As a percentage of revenue, our cost of revenue increased during the three months ended September 30, 2015, and decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus the comparable 2014 periods primarily as a result of the following:
increased bandwidth, peering and transit fees as a result of more traffic being delivered on our network. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a nonrecurring $1,100 credit related to an over billing from one of our co-location providers; and
increased depreciation as a result of new servers and network equipment placed into service.
These increases were partially offset by decreases in other costs which were primarily other recurring cost of sales, professional fees, and other employee costs.
Effective April 1, 2015, we reorganized the job responsibilities of certain employees, and as a result, such employee expenses have moved from cost of services to research and development, on a prospective basis. This reorganization resulted in approximately $650 of payroll and related employee costs in both the second and third quarters of 2015 being allocated to research and development, which were previously allocated to cost of services.
We anticipate an improvement in gross margin for the full year 2015 compared to 2014, and we anticipate that our depreciation expense related to our network equipment will increase compared to 2014, as we expect to increase our capital expenditures over 2014 levels.

Our general and administrative expense decreased in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus the comparable 2014 periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the decreases were primarily as a result of the following:
decreased professional fees, primarily due to lower consulting and general legal fees.

Table of Contents

These decreases were partially offset by increased share-based compensation and increased other costs, which was primarily bad debt expense and litigation costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the decreases were primarily as a result of the following:
decreased other costs as a result of our negotiations with a vendor which reduced our legal fees by $1,200, lower fees and licenses, and insurance; and
decreased professional fees, primarily due to lower consulting and accounting fees.
These decreases were partially offset by increased payroll and related employee costs due to higher average salaries for general and administrative personnel and increased share-based compensation.
We expect our general and administrative expenses for 2015 to decrease from 2014 in aggregate dollars as a result of our restructuring.

Our sales and marketing expense increased in aggregate dollars for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus the comparable 2014 periods but remained consistent as a percentage of total revenue. The increase in sales and marketing expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, was primarily as a result of the following:
increased payroll and related employee costs due to increased sales and marketing personnel and higher variable compensation; and
increased marketing and public relations spending related to trade shows.
These increases were partially offset by decreased other costs, which was primarily lower consulting expense, fees and licenses.
We expect our sales and marketing expenses for 2015 to increase in aggregate dollars compared to 2014 as we have expanded our sales workforce.

Our research and development expense increased in aggregate dollars and as a percentage of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus the comparable 2014 periods, primarily as a result of the following:
increased payroll and related employee costs due to increased headcount as we expand our research and development activities; and

increased other costs primarily due to increased professional fees for consulting, facilities, and travel expenses and to a lesser extent increased fees and licenses.
Effective April 1, 2015, we reorganized the job responsibilities of certain employees, and as a result, such employee expenses have moved from cost of services to research and development, on a prospective basis. This reorganization resulted in approximately $650 of payroll and related employee costs in both the second and third quarters of 2015 being allocated to research and development, which were previously allocated to cost of services.
We expect our research and development expenses for 2015 to increase in both aggregate dollars and as a percentage of revenue compared to 2014 due to the increased headcount and our investments in research and development.
Depreciation and Amortization (Operating Expenses)
Depreciation and amortization expense was $648, or 1.5% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, versus $825, or 2.1% of revenue, for the comparable 2014 period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, depreciation and amortization was $1,924, or 1.5% of revenue versus $2,868, or 2.4% of revenue for the comparable 2014 period. Depreciation expense consists of depreciation on equipment and furnishings used by general administrative, sales and marketing, and research and development personnel. Amortization expense consists of amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $-0- and $4 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus $7 and $26 for the comparable 2014 periods. Interest expense is primarily comprised of interest paid on capital leases that were paid in full in March 2015. As of September 30, 2015, we had no outstanding credit facilities.
Interest Income
Interest income was $82 and $231 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus $66 and $203 for the comparable 2014 periods. Interest income includes interest earned on invested cash balances and marketable securities.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income was $473 and $1,192, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Other income consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses for the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, other income consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses and the gain on sale of assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, other income was $2,155 and $1,014, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, other income consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses and the $275 gain on the conversion of our convertible debt security into preferred shares. For nine months ended September 30, 2014, other income consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, the working capital adjustment associated with the sale of our WCM business, and the gain on sale of assets.
Income Tax Expense
Based on an estimated annual effective tax rate and discrete items, the estimated income tax expense from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $76 and $221, respectively, versus $98 and $181 for the comparable 2014 periods. Income tax expense on the loss from continuing operations before income taxes was different than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to our providing for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions, and recording of state and foreign tax expense for the quarter and year to date periods. The effective income tax rate is based primarily upon forecasted income or loss for the year, the composition of the income or loss in different countries, and adjustments, if any, for the potential tax consequences, benefits or resolutions for tax audits.
Income from Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations relate to our EyeWonder and chors rich media advertising services. On September 1, 2011, we completed the sale of EyeWonder and chors to DG. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we received approximately $414 from DG for previously written-off receivables. We recorded $269, net of tax of $145, as income from discontinued operations during the second quarter of 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $4 (net of tax) of expense related to discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2015, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as current totaled $69,575. Included in this amount is approximately $5,156 of cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States that would be subject to withholding taxes upon repatriation. Changes in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are dependent upon changes in, among other things, working capital items such as deferred revenues, accounts payable, accounts receivable, accrued provision for litigation and various accrued expenses, as well as purchases of property and equipment and changes in our capital and financial structure due to debt repurchases and issuances, stock option exercises, sales of equity investments and similar events.
We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. If the assumptions underlying our business plan regarding future revenue and expenses change, or if unexpected opportunities or needs arise, we may seek to raise additional cash by selling equity or debt securities.
The major components of changes in cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $297 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus net cash provided by operating activities of $1,005 for the comparable 2014 period, a decrease of $1,302. Changes in operating assets and liabilities of ($3,837) during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus ($2,048) in the comparable 2014 period were primarily due to:
accounts receivable increased $5,267 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to the timing of billings net of collections and an increase in our days sales outstanding (DSO) due to longer payment terms with certain large customers as compared to a $1,496 increase in the comparable 2014 period;
other assets decreased $1,587 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to amortization of prepaid bandwidth expenses versus a decrease of $991 for the comparable 2014 period; and
accounts payable and other current liabilities increased $510 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 versus an increase of $1,099 for the comparable 2014 period due to timing of vendor payments, the payment of 2014 accrued compensation and the reversal of accrued legal fees.
Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations may not be sufficient to cover new purchases of property and equipment during 2015 and potential litigation expenses associated with patent litigation. The timing and amount of future working capital changes and our ability to manage our DSO will also affect the future amount of cash used in or provided by operating activities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $20,654 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus $15,689 for the comparable 2014 period. Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, primarily relates to purchases of marketable securities, and capital expenditures consisting primarily of servers and network equipment associated with the build-out and expansion of our global computing platform, partially offset by cash received from maturities of marketable securities.
We expect to have ongoing capital expenditure requirements as we continue to invest in and expand our content delivery network. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we made capital expenditures of $20,754, which represented approximately 16% of our total revenue. We expect an increase in capital expenditures in 2015 compared to 2014, to support growth opportunities and to further upgrade our global network and systems.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $863 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, versus $3,400 for the comparable 2014 period. Net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, related to payments of employee tax withholdings related to the net settlement of vested restricted stock units of $2,279, cash paid for the repurchase of our common stock of $957, and payments made on our capital lease obligations of $358, offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan of $2,731.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to cash paid for the repurchase of our common stock of $2,500, payments of employee tax withholdings related to restricted stock units of $1,455, and payments made on our capital lease obligations of $412, offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options and our employee stock purchase plan of $967.
Share repurchases
On February 12, 2014, our board of directors authorized a $15,000 share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we have purchased and canceled approximately 293 shares. All repurchased shares were canceled and returned to authorized but unissued status. As of September 30, 2015, we have $9,525 remaining under this share repurchase authorization.
Capital leases
On March 12, 2015, we paid in full the outstanding balance on our capital leases.
Credit facility
As of September 30, 2015, we had no outstanding credit facilities.
On November 2, 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving credit borrowings up to a maximum principal amount of $25,000. All outstanding borrowings owed under the Credit Agreement become due and payable no later than the final maturity date of November 2, 2017. For a more detailed discussion regarding our Credit Agreement, please refer to Note 19 “Subsequent Events” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities, and Commercial Commitments
In the normal course of business, we make certain long-term commitments for operating leases, primarily office facilities, bandwidth, and computer rack space. These leases expire on various dates ranging from 2015 to 2022. We expect that the growth of our business will require us to continue to add to and increase our long-term commitments in 2015 and beyond. As a result of our growth strategies, we believe that our liquidity and capital resources requirements will grow.
The following table presents our contractual obligations and commercial commitments, as of September 30, 2015, over the next five years and thereafter:
