A discussion of the year endedDecember 31, 2020 compared to the year endedDecember 31, 2019 has been reported previously in our final prospectus datedMay 19, 2021 filed with theSEC onMay 21, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) (File No. 333-236789) of the Securities Act, under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". Overview
Our mission is to connect everyone in construction on a global platform.
We are a leading provider of cloud-based construction management software, and are helping transform one of the oldest, largest, and least digitized industries in the world. We focus exclusively on construction, connecting and empowering the industry's key stakeholders, such as owners, general contractors, specialty contractors, architects, and engineers, to collaborate from any location, on any internet-connected device. Our platform is modernizing and digitizing construction management by enabling real-time access to critical project information, simplifying complex workflows, and facilitating seamless communication among key stakeholders, all of which we believe positions us to serve as the system of record for the construction industry. Adoption of our platform helps customers increase productivity and efficiency, reduce rework and costly delays, improve safety and compliance, and enhance financial transparency and accountability.
In short, we build the software for the people that build the world.
We serve customers ranging from small businesses managing a couple million dollars of annual construction volume to global enterprises managing billions of dollars of annual construction volume. Our core customers are owners, general contractors, and specialty contractors operating across the commercial, residential, industrial, and infrastructure segments of the construction industry. We primarily sell subscriptions to access our products through our direct sales team, which is specialized by stakeholder, region, size, and type. Our products are offered on our cloud-based platform and are designed to be easy to configure and deploy. Our users can access our products on computers, smartphones, and tablets through any web browser or from our mobile application available for both the iOS and Android platforms. We generate substantially all of our revenue from subscriptions to access our products and have an unlimited user model that is designed to facilitate adoption and maximize usage of our platform by all project stakeholders. We sell our products on a subscription basis for a fixed fee with pricing generally based on the number and mix of products and the annual construction volume contracted to run on our platform. As our customers subscribe to additional products, or increase the annual construction volume contracted to run on our platform, we generate more revenue. We do not provide refunds for unused construction volume, or charge customers based on consumption or on a per project basis. Subscriptions to access our products include customer support and allow for unlimited users as we do not charge a per-seat or per-user fee. Customers can invite all project participants to engage with our platform as part of a project team. This includes the customer's employees and its collaborators, who are other project participants who engage with our platform but do not pay us for such use. Further, multiple stakeholders can be customers on the same project and retain access to project information for the duration of their subscription. Recent Developments OnMay 24, 2021 , we completed our IPO, in which we issued and sold 10,410,000 shares of our common stock at a price of$67.00 per share, including 940,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares. We received net proceeds of$665.1 million , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. In connection with the IPO, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into an aggregate of 85,331,278 shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. 45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OnOctober 21, 2021 , the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding equity of LaborChart, a labor management solution that facilitates labor scheduling, forecasting, office-to-field communications, certification tracking, data management, and labor analysis. The purchase consideration to acquire LaborChart was$76.2 million , subject to customary adjustments for working capital, transaction expenses, cash, indebtedness, and the determination of any consideration for post-combination services. OnNovember 2, 2021 , the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding equity of Levelset, a lien rights management company. Levelset also has a materials finance business that offers customers deferred payment terms on their purchases of construction materials. The materials finance business is currently immaterial, but may grow in the future. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the purchase consideration to acquire Levelset was$484.1 million , which consisted of$426.1 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments for working capital, transaction expenses, cash, indebtedness, and the determination of any consideration for post-combination services, and$58.0 million in shares ofProcore common stock. Certain Factors Affecting Our Performance
Acquiring New Customers and Retaining and Expanding Existing Customers' Use of Our Platform
We are highly focused on continuing to acquire new customers to support our long-term growth. We intend to efficiently drive new customer acquisitions by continuing to invest across our sales and marketing engine to engage our prospective customers, increase brand awareness, and drive adoption of our products and platform. The number of customers on our platform has increased from 8,506 as ofDecember 31, 2019 , to 10,166 as ofDecember 31, 2020 , to 12,193 as ofDecember 31, 2021 , reflecting a consistent year-over-year growth rate of 20% in both 2020 and 2021. All customer counts aforementioned exclude the customers acquired from Levelset, LaborChart, and Esticom, as they are on non-standard legacy contracts. Levelset, LaborChart, and Esticom customers will be included in our customer and ARR metrics when they are renewed onto standardProcore annual contracts. Levelset has more than 3,000 customers as ofDecember 31, 2021 . We define ARR at the end of a particular period as the annualized dollar value of our subscriptions from customers as of such period end date. For multi-year subscriptions, ARR at the end of a particular period is measured by using the stated contractual subscription fees as of the period end date on which ARR is measured. For example, if ARR is measured during the first year of a multi-year contract, the first-year subscription fees are used to calculate ARR. ARR at the end of a particular period includes the annualized dollar value of subscriptions for which the term has not ended, and subscriptions for which we are negotiating a subscription renewal. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and does not represent our GAAP revenue on an annualized basis. ARR is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of revenue. Our ability to continue to grow our business and serve the broader needs of the construction industry depends on acquiring new customers, customers purchasing new products, renewing and expanding their use of existing products, and maintaining or increasing the price of our existing products.
Continued Technology Innovation and Expansion of Our Platform
We plan to continue to invest in technology innovation and product development to enhance the capabilities of our platform. Additional features and products will also enable customers and collaborators to manage new workflows on our platform and allow us to attract a broader set of stakeholders. We have introduced new products developed in-house and through our acquisitions ofZimfly, Inc. , Honest Buildings,Construction BI, LLC , Esticom, LaborChart, and Levelset. We intend to continue to invest in building additional products, financial offerings, features, and functionality that expand our capabilities and facilitate the extension of our platform. We also intend to continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions and investments in businesses and technologies to drive product and market expansion, such as our recent acquisitions of LaborChart and Levelset in October andNovember 2021 , respectively. The acquisitions closed in the fourth fiscal quarter, and therefore the financial results post-acquisition of LaborChart and Levelset are included in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, we expect that expenses, both in dollars and as a percentage of total revenues, may increase from the current or historical periods. Our future success is dependent on our ability to successfully develop or acquire, market, and sell existing and new products to both new and existing customers.
International Growth
We see international expansion as a major, and largely greenfield, opportunity for growth as we look to capture a larger part of the worldwide construction market. We have started to grow our presence internationally with the opening of sales and marketing offices inSydney, Australia andVancouver andToronto, Canada in 2017,London, England in 2018 andMexico City, Mexico in 2019. We have also developed focused sales and marketing efforts inSingapore , theUnited Arab Emirates ,France , andGermany in 2021, where we do not yet maintain office locations. As a result of our international efforts, we support multiple languages and currencies. Non-U.S. revenue as a percentage of our total revenue was 14.6% in 2021, 12.2% in 2020, and 11.3% in 2019. We determine the percentage of non-U.S. revenue based on the billing location of each subscription. 46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Furthermore, we believe global demand for our products will continue to increase as we expand our international sales and marketing efforts, and the awareness of our products and platform grows. However, our ability to conduct our operations internationally will require considerable management attention and resources and is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal, tax and regulatory systems, alternative dispute systems, and commercial markets. We have made, and plan to continue to make, significant investments in existing and select additional international markets. While these investments may adversely affect our operating results in the near term, we believe they will contribute to our long-term growth. COVID-19 Update The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused general business disruption worldwide beginning inJanuary 2020 . Some local governments temporarily closed construction jobsites or imposed restrictions on construction activity, such as limiting the number of workers allowed on site. Construction teams had to learn to navigate pandemic safety protocols on jobsites and coordinate already complex construction processes with increasingly distributed workforces. Owners had to reconfigure existing buildings to improve safety and consider new distancing requirements in project designs, all amid increased materials and labor costs. We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to change the way construction stakeholders operate by pushing them to adopt digital solutions that enable distanced, distributed workforces. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the construction industry continue to evolve, and the impact on our financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred changes in the way we work as we move to a more hybrid workforce. We are currently planning for a number of our employees to return to in-person offices in 2022; however, our plans may change if the number of COVID-19 cases rises where our offices are located or if there is an increase in new variants, and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, and business partners. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including any new variants, may directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. See the section titled "Risk Factors" for further discussion of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results. Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate substantially all of our revenue from subscriptions to access our products and related support. Subscriptions are sold for a fixed fee and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription. Our subscriptions generally have annual or multi-year terms, are typically subject to renewal at the end of the subscription term, and are non-cancelable. To the extent we invoice our customers in advance of revenue recognition, we record deferred revenue. Consequently, a portion of the revenue that we report each period is attributable to the recognition of revenue previously deferred related to subscriptions that we entered into during previous periods.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of customer support personnel-related compensation expenses, including salaries, bonuses, benefits, payroll taxes, and stock-based compensation expense, third-party hosting costs, software license fees, amortization of capitalized software development costs, amortization of acquired technology intangible assets, and allocated overhead. We expect our cost of revenue to increase on an absolute dollar basis as our revenue and acquisition activities increase. We intend to continue to invest additional resources in platform hosting, customer support, and software development as we grow our business and to ensure that our customers are realizing the full benefit of our products. The level and timing of investment in these areas could affect our cost of revenue in the future. Costs related to the development of internal-use software for new products and major platform enhancements are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the developed software's estimated useful life of two years and the amortization is recorded in cost of revenue. We incurred significant additional cost of revenue expenses starting the second quarter of 2021 as a result of stock-based compensation expense associated with RSUs where the performance condition was satisfied upon the effective date of the registration statement for our IPO. In addition, subsequent to our IPO, we have incurred higher employer payroll taxes related to employee stock transactions. We anticipate additional stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll tax related 47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to employee stock transactions going forward. In addition, we recorded and will continue to record significant amortization of acquired developed technology intangible assets as a result of the recent acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2021. Operating Expenses Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. For each of these categories of expense, personnel-related compensation expenses are the most significant component, which include salaries, stock-based compensation, commissions, benefits, payroll taxes, and bonuses. To support the growth of our business, we also increased our headcount in each of these categories both organically and, to a lesser extent, through our acquisitions. We incurred significant additional operating expenses starting the second quarter of 2021 as a result of stock-based compensation expense associated with RSUs where the performance condition was satisfied upon the effective date of the registration statement for our IPO. In addition, subsequent to our IPO, we have incurred higher employer payroll taxes related to employee stock transactions. We anticipate additional stock-based compensation expense and employer payroll tax related to employee stock transactions going forward.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel-related compensation expenses for our sales and marketing organizations, advertising costs, marketing events, travel, trade shows and other marketing activities, contractor costs to supplement our staff levels, consulting services, amortization of acquired customer relationship intangible assets, and allocated overhead. We expense advertising and other promotional expenditures as incurred. We expect sales and marketing expenses to increase on an absolute dollar basis and vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue, as we increase our investment in sales and marketing efforts over the foreseeable future, primarily from increased headcount in sales and marketing as well as investment in marketing to drive customer growth. Research and Development Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel-related compensation expenses for our engineering, product, and design teams, contractor costs to supplement our staff levels, consulting services, amortization of certain acquired intangible assets used in research and development activities, and allocated overhead. We expect research and development expenses to increase on an absolute dollar basis and vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue for the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in headcount to build, enhance, maintain, and scale our products and platform.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related compensation expenses for our finance, human resources, executive, information technology, legal, and other administrative functions. Additionally, general and administrative expenses include non-personnel-related expenses, such as professional fees for audit, legal, tax, and other external consulting services, including acquisition-related transaction expenses, costs associated with operating as a public company, including insurance costs, professional services, investor relations, and other compliance costs, property and use taxes, licenses, travel and entertainment costs, and allocated overhead. We expect to increase the size of our general and administrative functions to support the growth of our business, including our international expansion.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense associated with our finance leases and undrawn fees associated with our Credit Facility, which is partially offset by interest income from money market funds.
Change in Fair Value of Series I Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability
Change in fair value of Series I redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability consisted of losses from the remeasurement of the Series I redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant to fair value from issuance inMarch 2020 toDecember 2020 when the warrants were exercised.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
Other (expense) income, net primarily consists of gain or loss on foreign currency transactions and miscellaneous other income.
48 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes
(Benefit from) provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes ofU.S. state franchise taxes and certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business, net of the release of valuation allowance as a result of deferred tax liabilities from acquisitions that are an available source of income to realize our deferred tax assets. As we expand our international operations, we expect to incur increased foreign tax expenses. We have a full valuation allowance for netU.S. andU.K. deferred tax assets. TheU.S. valuation allowance includes NOL carryforwards, and tax credits related primarily to research and development for our operations inthe United States . TheU.K. valuation allowance is primarily comprised of NOL carryforwards. We expect to maintain this full valuation allowance for our netU.S. andU.K. deferred tax assets for the foreseeable future.

Comparison of the Years Ended
Revenue
Year Ended December 31, Change 2021 2020 Dollar Percent (dollars in thousands) Revenue$ 514,821 $ 400,291 $ 114,530 29 % In 2021, our revenue increased by$114.5 million , or 29%, compared to 2020, which is primarily due to expansion within our existing customers and revenue from new customers added during the year. The acquisition of Levelset inNovember 2021 contributed$4.2 million in revenue in 2021. Revenue from our other acquisitions in 2021 was not material. The increase in revenue from existing customers includes the net benefit of a full year of subscription revenue in 2021 from customers that were new in 2020 and continued their subscriptions in 2021, and customers that expanded their subscriptions in 2021 through the purchase of additional construction volume or products, as well as price increases.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Year Ended December 31, Change 2021 2020 Dollar Percent (dollars in thousands) Cost of revenue$ 98,312 $ 71,663 $ 26,649 37 % Gross profit 416,509 328,628 87,881 27 % Gross margin 81 % 82 % The increase in cost of revenue in 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase of$14.1 million in personnel-related expenses, including an increase of$6.4 million in stock-based compensation expense and$5.5 million in salaries and wages driven by headcount and merit increases. Stock-based compensation expense increased primarily due to RSUs where the performance condition was satisfied upon the effectiveness date of the registration statement for the IPO. The increase in cost of revenue was also attributable to a$4.5 million increase in third-party cloud hosting and related services as we grow our customer base, a$4.2 million increase in amortization of acquired developed technology intangible assets related to recent acquisitions, and a$1.5 million increase in amortization of capitalized software. We increased our cost of revenue headcount by 44% sinceDecember 31, 2020 in order to support the growth of our business. Operating Expenses Year Ended December 31, Change 2021 2020 Dollar Percent (dollars in thousands) Sales and marketing$ 308,511 $ 189,032 $ 119,479 63 % The increase in sales and marketing expenses during 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase of$92.0 million in personnel-related expenses, including an increase of$55.4 million in stock-based compensation expense, a$23.1 million increase in salaries and wages driven by headcount and merit increases, and a$2.1 million increase in employer payroll tax related to employee stock transactions. Stock-based compensation expense increased primarily due to RSUs where the performance condition was satisfied upon the effectiveness date of the registration statement for the IPO. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was also attributable to a$9.6 million increase in professional fees primarily for contractors to supplement our staff levels, a$9.1 million increase in marketing events and expenses, a$2.0 million increase in travel-related costs, and a$1.9 million increase in amortization of acquired customer relationship intangible assets related to recent acquisitions.

Stock-based compensation expense increased primarily due to RSUs where the performance condition was satisfied upon the effectiveness date of the registration statement for the IPO. The increase in research and development expenses was also attributable to a$5.5 million increase in professional fees primarily for contractors to supplement our staff levels, and a$2.0 million increase in amortization of acquired developed technology intangible assets. We increased our research and development headcount by 60% sinceDecember 31, 2020 in order to continue to build, enhance, maintain, and scale our products and platform. Year Ended December 31, Change 2021 2020 Dollar Percent (dollars in thousands)
General and administrative
113 %
The increase in general and administrative expenses during 2021 was primarily due to an increase of$61.1 million in personnel-related expenses, including an increase of$49.3 million in stock-based compensation expense and an$8.9 million increase in salaries and wages driven by headcount and merit increases. Stock-based compensation expense increased primarily due to RSUs where the performance condition was satisfied upon the effectiveness date of the registration statement for the IPO. The increase in general and administrative expenses was also attributable to a$10.2 million increase in non-acquisition related professional fees primarily for contractors and consultants to supplement our staff levels, a$6.7 million increase in acquisition-related expenses primarily as a result of acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2021, a$3.1 million increase in insurance related costs associated with operating as a public company, and a$1.6 million increase in travel-related costs. We increased our general and administrative headcount by 48% sinceDecember 31, 2020 in order to continue to support the growth of our business. Interest Expense, Net, Change in Fair Value of Series I Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability, Other (Expense) Income, Net, and Benefit from Income Taxes Year Ended December 31, Change 2021 2020 Dollar Percent (dollars in thousands) Interest expense, net$ 2,153 $ 2,060 $ 93 5 % Change in fair value of Series I redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability - 36,990 (36,990 ) * Other (expense) income, net (843 ) 420 (1,263 ) * Benefit from income taxes (23,758 ) (993 ) (22,765 ) * * Percentage not meaningful In 2020, we recognized an expense of$37.0 million related to an increase in the fair value of warrants to purchase Series I redeemable convertible preferred stock which were remeasured to fair value each period. The warrants were exercised inDecember 2020 , at which time remeasurement ceased. The loss recognized was primarily due to the increase in the fair value of the Series I redeemable convertible preferred stock from the issuance date throughDecember 2020 .
The change in other (expense) income, net during 2021 was primarily due to foreign currency losses related to changes in Australian and Canadian dollar exchange rates.
The change in benefit from income taxes during 2021 was primarily due to income tax benefits related to the release of a portion of our valuation allowance as a result of deferred tax liabilities recorded related to the acquisitions of Levelset and LaborChart that are available sources of income to realize our deferred tax assets. 52 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America ("GAAP"), we believe certain non-GAAP measures, as described below, are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use this non-GAAP financial information, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, is helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance, and may assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, Non-GAAP Loss from Operations, and Non-GAAP Operating Margin
We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective GAAP measures, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, employer payroll tax related to employee stock transactions, acquisition-related expenses, and restructuring-related charges. We excluded acquisition-related expenses for the first time during 2021 and have retrospectively adjusted comparable periods. Acquisition-related expenses include external and incremental transaction costs, such as legal and due diligence costs, and retention payments. These expenses are unpredictable, and generally would not have otherwise been incurred in the periods presented as part of our continuing operations. In addition, the size and complexity of an acquisition, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related expenses, may not be indicative of such future costs. We believe excluding acquisition-related expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company's historical operating results and to other companies in our industry. Restructuring-related charges are the result of the Company streamlining our organization in 2020 to better align with our strategic goals and future scale.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we financed our operations principally through private placements
of our equity securities. In
As ofDecember 31, 2021 , our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents of$589.2 million , which were held in checking accounts, savings accounts, and highly liquid money market funds. A portion of the cash and cash equivalents were used to complete the acquisitions of LaborChart and Levelset during the fourth quarter of 2021, and Indus.ai, Inc. ("Indus") in the second quarter of 2021. The preliminary purchase consideration to acquire Levelset was$484.1 million , of which$426.1 million was paid in cash on the acquisition date ofNovember 2, 2021 . The preliminary purchase consideration to acquire LaborChart was$76.2 million , all of which was paid in cash on the acquisition date ofOctober 21, 2021 . The purchase consideration to acquire Indus was$24.3 million , of which$20.3 million was paid in cash on the acquisition date ofMay 3, 2021 . We also have our Credit Facility that may be used for general corporate purposes and is available until the Credit Facility's maturity onMay 7, 2022 . As ofDecember 31, 2021 ,$75.0 million , less$6.5 million in outstanding letters of credit, was available to be drawn under the Credit Facility. Levelset also has a materials finance business that finances customers' purchases of construction materials and offers customers deferred payment terms. The materials finance business is currently immaterial, but is expected to grow in the future, which may impact our liquidity. In the next 12 months, we have contractual commitments consisting of operating lease obligations of$12.9 million , finance lease obligations of$3.7 million , and non-cancelable purchase commitments of$19.8 million , as disclosed in Note 4 and Note 10 of the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our needs for at least the next 12 months. While we have generated positive cash flows from operations in recent years, we have generated losses from operations in the past as reflected in our accumulated deficit of$662.2 million as ofDecember 31, 2021 . We may not achieve profitability in the foreseeable future due to the investments we intend to make and may require additional capital resources to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business. This assessment is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties. Beyond the next 12 months, we have contractual commitments that we are reasonably likely to incur consisting of operating lease obligations of$46.8 million , finance lease obligations of$64.0 million , and non-cancelable purchase commitments of$21.8 million , as disclosed in Note 4 and Note 10 of the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our additional future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, new customer acquisition and subscription renewal activity, timing of billing activities, our ability to integrate the companies or technologies we acquire and realize strategic and financial benefits from our investments and acquisitions, the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts, general and administrative expenses to support our growth, including international expansion, and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing to fund these activities. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or on acceptable terms, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Further, as ofDecember 31, 2021 , we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 (in thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
(541,768 ) (33,511 ) (66,685 ) Net cash provided by financing activities 711,826 272,117 92,757 55
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Activities
Our largest source of cash from operating activities is collections from the sales of subscriptions to our customers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel expenses, marketing expenses, hosting and software license expenses, and overhead. Net cash provided by operating activities was$36.7 million in 2021 which resulted from a net loss of$265.2 million , adjusted for non-cash charges of$247.9 million and a net cash inflow of$54.0 million from changes in operating expenses and liabilities. The$54.0 million of net cash inflows provided as a result of changes in our operating assets and liabilities primarily reflected the following:
• a
of our business and timing of billings;
• a
primarily due to timing of payroll and cash payments to our vendors, and
accrued employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") contributions; and
• a
cash payments to our vendors.
These changes in our operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by the following:
• a
billings and cash receipts from customers;
• a
due to cash retention payments made to certain Levelset employees at the
close of the acquisition which are subject to vest based on future
service, further described in Note 5 of our audited consolidated financial
statements, and timing of cash payments to our vendors; • a$10.2 million increase in deferred contract cost assets related to
commissions as a result of additional customer contracts closed during the
period; and
• a
payments.
Net cash provided by operating activities was$21.9 million in 2020, which resulted from a net loss of$96.2 million , adjusted for non-cash charges of$114.9 million and net cash inflow of$3.1 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The$3.1 million of net cash inflows provided as a result of changes in our operating assets and liabilities primarily reflected the following:
• a
of our business and timing of billings.
These changes in our operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by the following:
• a
billings and cash receipts from customers;
• a
payments;
• a
to timing of cash payments to our vendors; and • a$5.4 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily due to timing of cash payments to our vendors and timing of payroll. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities of$541.8 million in 2021 consisted of the acquisitions of Levelset, LaborChart and Indus, net of cash acquired, of$509.8 million , capitalized software development costs of$15.2 million , purchases of property, plant, and equipment of$12.4 million , and strategic investments of$4.3 million .
Net cash used in investing activities of
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was
56 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net cash provided by financing activities of$272.1 million in 2020 primarily consisted of the proceeds of$189.8 million from the issuance of our Series I redeemable convertible preferred stock and preferred stock warrant, proceeds from the exercise of the Series I redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant of$55.0 million , and proceeds from stock option exercises of$31.2 million , partially offset by payments of offering costs of$2.3 million in connection with the anticipated sale of our common stock. Credit Facility Our Credit Facility provides for debt financing of up to$75.0 million to be used for general corporate purposes, including the financing of working capital requirements, and is secured by a blanket lien on the Company's assets. The Credit Facility has a maturity date ofMay 7, 2022 , and carries a fee of 0.225% applied to unused balances and an interest rate equal to theWall Street Journal prime rate plus 1.25% applied to all amounts outstanding, with a floor of 3.25%. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum annual recurring revenue, as defined in the loan and security agreement, and a liquidity ratio, if the Credit Facility is drawn, of at least 1.25 to 1.00. The Credit Facility also contains restrictions on our ability to dispose of our business or property, engage in changes in business, merge with or acquire another business, incur indebtedness, encumber the collateral securing the Credit Facility, pay dividends, make distributions or payments to stockholders or redeem, retire, or repurchase any capital stock, or make any restricted investments. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , no amounts had been drawn down under the Credit Facility, and we were in compliance with all covenants. The Credit Facility also provides us with the ability to issue standby letters of credit for up to$15.0 million , which if issued reduce the amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , we had issued letters of credit totaling$6.5 million to secure variousU.S. andAustralia leased office facilities. We may need to secure our leases with restricted cash in the future if the Credit Facility is not renewed at maturity. Remaining Performance Obligations Our subscriptions typically have a term of one to three years. The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations under our subscriptions represents the contracted transaction price that has not yet been recognized as revenue, which includes deferred revenue and amounts under non-cancelable subscriptions that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was$602.6 million , of which approximately 70% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months and substantially all of the remainder between 12 and 36 months thereafter. We expect remaining performance obligations to change from period to period primarily due to the size, timing and duration of new customer contracts and customer renewals. Remaining performance obligations are also impacted by acquisitions Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Critical accounting policies and estimates are those accounting policies and estimates that are both the most important to the portrayal of our net assets and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates are developed based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates are accounting estimates where the nature of the estimates are material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and the impact of the estimates on financial condition or operating performance is material.
The critical accounting policies and estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our audited consolidated financial statements are described below.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for these services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with the customer; • Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; • Determination of the transaction price; • Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 57
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Recognition of the revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.
We execute a signed contract with the customer that specifies the services to be provided, the payment amounts and terms, and the period of service, among other terms. The transaction price is determined by the stated fixed fees in the contract, excluding any sales related taxes. Our subscriptions often include promises to transfer multiple services. Determining whether services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or together may require judgment. Our subscriptions include access to our products and customer support over the subscription period. Access to the products and customer support represent a series of distinct services as we fulfill our obligation to the customer and the customer receives and consumes the benefits of the products and support over the subscription term. The series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation.
We recognize revenue ratably over the term of the subscription beginning on the date that service is made available to the customer.
Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
We recognize an asset for the incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be one year or longer. We have determined that sales commissions and bonuses paid for new contracts, including certain incremental sales to existing customers, meet the requirements to be capitalized as contract acquisition costs. The contract cost assets are deferred and then recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we estimate to be four years, which may exceed the term of the initial contract if commissions expected to be paid upon renewal are not commensurate with that of the original contract. Judgment is required to determine the expected period of benefit, which is based on estimates of customer lives and product technology life.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Accounting for business combinations requires us to make estimates primarily relating to the valuation of intangible assets. Intangible assets consist primarily of acquired developed technology and acquired customer relationships. Valuations of acquired intangible assets require us to make judgments about the selection of valuation methodologies and also significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, (1) the estimated level of effort and related costs of reproducing or replacing the assets acquired, (2) future expected cash flows from using the acquired customer relationships and technology, including future expected revenue, the rate of customer non-renewals of subscriptions, and operating expenses to deliver such expected revenue, (3) discount rates, (4) estimated royalty rate specifically used to value the acquired technology, and (5) selection of comparable companies. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions management believes a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability. Amounts recorded in a business combination may change during the measurement period, which is a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, as additional information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense related to stock awards is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of RSUs and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") is based on the estimated fair value of our common stock on the grant date. The fair value of each option award and ESPP purchase right is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The primary input in determining the fair value of the stock- based awards is the value of our common stock. Prior to becoming publicly traded, the valuation of our common stock required estimates which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment, as described below. The determination of the grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the estimated fair value of our common stock as well as volatility, expected term, dividend yield, and risk-free rate. These assumptions represent management's best estimates and if different assumptions had been used, our stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different. For awards that vest solely based on continued service, the grant date fair value is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally four years. For awards that contain both performance and service vesting conditions, the grant date fair value is recognized as compensation expense using a graded vesting attribution model. No expense is recognized for awards with performance conditions until that condition is probable of being met. We account for forfeitures as they occur instead of estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited. 58
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prior to our IPO, we had granted RSUs to certain employees and non-employee consultants that contained both liquidity- and service-based vesting conditions. Upon the effective date of the registration statement for our IPO inMay 2021 , the liquidity-based condition for all RSUs granted was satisfied and we recognized a cumulative catch-up stock-based compensation adjustment of$115.3 million in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the portion of the service period satisfied from the grant date through the effective date of the registration statement. All RSUs granted subsequent to the IPO vest based on continued service, which is generally over four years. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for all RSUs outstanding at that date was$281.0 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.0 years. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , the total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for unvested stock options was$12.2 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. We issued RSAs to certain employees in connection with the acquisition of Honest Buildings inJuly 2019 . The fair value of the RSAs was based on the fair value of the underlying stock issued. These shares were released from restriction 50% on the first anniversary and 50% on the second anniversary of the acquisition date based on the continued service of the key employees. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , all of the RSAs have vested. During 2021 and 2020, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of$1.6 million and$2.7 million , respectively, relating to these RSAs. We issued 199,670 RSAs to certain Levelset employees in connection with the acquisition of Levelset inNovember 2021 that vest based on their continued service over a two-year period. The fair value of the RSAs issued was$95.05 per share which was the closing trading stock price of our common stock on the acquisition date. These shares are released from restriction quarterly over a two-year period assuming the continued service of the employees. As ofDecember 31, 2021 , no shares have vested. During 2021, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of$1.6 million relating to these shares. We issued 166,370 shares of common stock in connection with the ESPP inNovember 2021 . Employee payroll contributions used to purchase these shares were reclassified to stockholders' equity on the purchase date. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP is recognized on a straight-line basis over the offering period. During 2021, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of$8.5 million relating to the ESPP.
Common Stock Valuations
Subsequent to the completion of our IPO inMay 2021 , the fair value of our common stock is determined based on the trading price of our common stock. Prior to the IPO, given our common stock was not publicly traded, our board of directors exercised significant judgment in determining the fair value of our common stock with input from management, based on several objective and subjective factors. Factors considered by our board of directors include:
• our historical performance, financial condition, and prospects at the
approximate time of grant of stock awards;
• the value of companies that we considered peers based on several factors,
including similarity to us with respect to industry, business model,
profitability, stage of growth, and financial risk;
• recent sales of our redeemable convertible preferred stock and private
stock sale transactions;
• the economic and competitive environment, including the industry in which
we operate;
• the rights, preferences, and privileges of our redeemable convertible
preferred stock relative to those of our common stock;
• the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO or sale of
all or a portion of the company; • the lack of an active market for our common stock; and • third-party valuations completed near the time of the grant. Since our inception, we have prepared valuations in a manner consistent with the method outlined in theAmerican Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Guide , Valuation of Privately- Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.
For each valuation performed since 2016, we estimated the valuation of our common stock based on values implied by recent transactions in our stock in close proximity to the valuation date, if any, and based on a Probability Weighted Expected Return Method ("PWERM") valuation model. The valuations for each of these methods closely reconciled to each other.
In estimating the valuation of our common stock using the PWERM, we calculated our equity value considering various exit scenarios including IPO and sale transactions, and staying private.
59 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our equity value in an IPO scenario was determined using the Guideline Public Company Method. Under the Guideline Public Company Method we analyzed the equity value compared to trailing and forecast revenues multiples of our Guideline Public Companies in the software and technology industry and then applied those multiples to our 12 months trailing and projected revenue, as of the estimated liquidity, or exit, date. Our equity value in the sale transactions scenario was determined using the Recent Transaction Method. Under the Recent Transaction Method, we analyzed trailing and forecasted revenue multiples implied by recent acquisitions of companies similar to our business and then applied those multiples to our 12 months trailing and projected revenue, as of the estimated liquidity, or exit, date. Judgment is required on the selection of comparable companies, transactions, and the selection of the multiples. The selection of the multiples included judgments of our relative growth prospects, margin, and risks compared to the guideline companies. In addition, we are required to estimate our forecast revenues at the time of the exit event. We allocated the overall equity value implied by each of these scenarios to our common stock to estimate a per share value of our common stock. The fair value of our common stock in a stay private scenario was determined using an income approach and market approach. Under the income approach, we forecast discrete cash flows over several years and a terminal value for a residual period beyond the discrete forecast period, which we discount at our estimated weighted-average cost of capital to estimate our enterprise value. Under the market approach, we estimated revenue multiples based on comparable guideline companies and applied these revenue multiples to our trailing 12 months and forecasted revenue. Judgment is required in estimating our future cash flows, discount rates, comparable companies, and multiples. We allocated the equity value implied by these valuation models in the private company scenario to our common stock using an option pricing model.
Each of the above valuations was prepared on a minority, non-marketable interest basis.
After determining a per share equity value for each scenario, we discounted the per share value for the estimated timing of the exit and then assigned a probability to each scenario to determine a probability weighted per share value of our common stock. Lastly, we applied a discount for lack of marketability as our stock is not publicly traded. Judgment is required on estimating the timing and exit event probabilities and discount for lack of marketability. JOBS Act Accounting Election The JOBS Act, permits an "emerging growth company" such as us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We intend to rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the last day of our first fiscal year in which we have total annual revenues of more than$1.07 billion ; (2) the date we qualify as a "large accelerated filer," with at least$700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (3) the date on which we have issued more than$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; and (4) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our IPO.
