Item 1. Business PART I Overview Castlight Health, Inc. (“Castlight”, “the Company” or "we") offers a comprehensive software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform that simplifies health benefits navigation for millions of employees. Our platform matches employees to the best resources their employers make available to them - whether they are healthy, actively seeking medical care, or managing a condition - and motivates them to take the best steps for their health. Castlight helps employers generate more value from their benefits investments by helping to improve outcomes, lower health care costs, and increase benefits satisfaction. Castlight’s platform solution supports strong employee engagement and satisfaction through two foundational components: an ecosystem of deep integrations across an employer’s various health and wellbeing partners, and a predictive analytics “engine” that uses claims, demographic and user data and machine learning to personalize clinical options, benefit programs, wellbeing incentives, communications, and educational content, based on each employee’s specific health and wellbeing needs. This unique combination of data integrations and personalization puts Castlight in a position to deliver value to employees and their employers. For employees, our platform improves their health benefits experience, with a highly-engaging, seamless mobile application and web experience, which are coupled with multi-channel communications. In addition, the platform’s rewards feature is designed to incentivize individuals to participate in health programs, optimize their care utilization, and improve their daily habits. For employers, Castlight provides a simplified, cost-effective, and flexible way to help manage health benefits: helping them to procure, deploy, manage, and measure healthcare and wellbeing program vendors through a single platform. Castlight was incorporated in the State of Delaware in January 2008. Its first generation care guidance solutions addressed the needs of employees actively seeking care or managing a chronic condition and serve as the foundation of our current care guidance offering. In 2015, we launched Castlight Action, our data-driven personalization benefits content and recommendations platform, which has been integrated into all of our products and re-branded as Castlight Genius. In April 2017, we acquired Jiff, Inc. Jiff provided an enterprise health benefits platform that served as a central hub for employee wellbeing and employee benefit programs and is the foundation for our wellbeing offering. In 2018, Castlight launched two offerings that deliver health care and wellbeing benefits navigation in a single user experience: Engage (January) and Castlight Complete (September). The Company's principal executive offices are located in San Francisco, California. 1 Table of Contents Our Opportunity Health benefits is one of the largest categories of spend for U.S. employers, and is also an area of increasing complexity for employers and employees: • • • According to The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”), U.S. private health insurance spending is estimated to be $1.24 trillion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.4% through 2022. Employers seek to deploy more digital health offerings to improve employee satisfaction and outcomes but are faced with evaluating and managing an ever-increasing number of digital health point solutions for their employees. Rock Health estimates that more than $29 billion was invested in U.S. digital health companies from 2013 to 2018, across more than 1,800 funding rounds. While this explosion in digital health options has been overwhelming for human resource executives responsible for health benefits evaluation, selection and spend, these solutions are seen as key drivers of employee engagement. The proliferation of so many healthcare and wellbeing offerings has also led to another problem for employees: underutilization of the benefits actually provided to employees. A March 2017 study by NBGH and Fidelity has shown utilization rates that are less than 20% for key benefits offerings like financial wellness, weight management, condition management, and resilience. As a result of these factors, we believe there is a significant, long-term market opportunity for us to offer a technology-based solution that helps increase financial and management efficiencies for employers in providing benefits, while improving employee benefit utilization. Our Solution We have developed a comprehensive health navigation platform that utilizes an ecosystem approach and data-driven personalization to match individual employees to the best resources available to them, and motivate them to take action. This, in turn, helps employers manage their benefits more effectively, and generate more value from their benefits investments. Key factors that allow us to provide our solution in a unique way include the following: Depth and Breadth of Data Integrations, including Health Plans . Our data and point solution partner integrations provide us with access to valuable data assets that we leverage to personalize our users’ experience which helps drive engagement, close gaps in care, and steer employees to the right providers based on their specific health needs and plan design. Our systems are designed to deliver these services in compliance with HIPAA and other applicable regulations. Our data integrations include: • • • • • • • access to claims data and other data through all major health plans and many of the largest pharmacy benefits managers and dental carriers; demographic information from employer eligibility files; real-time employee search and benefit utilization information through integrations with point solution partners; connection to an employer’s plan design, including understanding each employee’s selected health plan, their network configuration, and their real- time deductible status; data from numerous validated and nationally recognized provider quality sources; Health Savings Accounts; biometric data. The Castlight Ecosystem . The Castlight Ecosystem leverages an open architecture to simplify benefit vendor integration and management for the employer. We can integrate our platform with nearly any vendor to create one seamless experience, and employers can use our Preferred Partners to purchase and manage third-party digital health applications and services across categories such as: activity and fitness tracking; biometrics; financial wellbeing; health risk assessment; mental health; nutrition management; second opinion; sleep management; smoking cessation; weight management; and areas of condition management in areas like cardiovascular, diabetes, maternal health, and musculoskeletal. 2 Table of Contents Data-Driven Personalization. Castlight Genius ("Genius"), previously marketed as Castlight Action, is an intelligent personalization engine that leverages our vast data resources and helps guide employees to the right benefits resource. Starting with new sales in 2018, Genius is now embedded into all Castlight packages described below. Castlight utilizes a variety of data sources to build employee segments, each with unique health needs and opportunities. Example data sources we use to power Genius include: search data, claims data, ecosystem partner data, employee interests and preferences, and demographic data from an employer’s eligibility file. Based upon its analysis of these data categories, Castlight Genius can deliver relevant content and recommendations to each population segment through communications channels, such as in-app and website content, email, and mobile push notifications. Recommendations categories include specific programs for those at risk for depression or anxiety; encouraging behaviors such as identifying and recommending a primary care physician; care options such as back pain care based on claims data; predictive content such as those who are at-risk for back surgery; and engagement incentives to encourage utilization of an available diabetes management program for those with the condition. Comprehensive Employee Experience. We deliver a user experience that is designed to be the first place employees go whenever they have a health benefits related need. We believe we are uniquely positioned in the market, given the breadth of features and capabilities we have developed, our ecosystem partners; and our unique integrations with all the major health plans. Whether an employee is healthy, accessing care, or managing a condition, we can engage them with personalized content and deliver valuable employer communications. We deliver these all through an engaging website and mobile applications. We sell our health navigation platform primarily through three available packages: Our Products Care Guidance Navigator: Our Care Guidance Navigator provides employees with what they need to make better care decisions and navigate an employer’s programs through an experience that is tailored specifically for an employer’s networks, health plans, care options, and programs. By helping employees choose the right benefit and right care option at the right time, we can improve their satisfaction with benefits while helping their employer achieve costs savings. Wellbeing Navigator: Our personalized, incentivized Wellbeing Navigator helps drive engagement across an employer’s entire benefits program. Wellbeing Navigator leverages a robust data set, advanced personalization and incentives to drive engagement, improve health and increase employee satisfaction. Complete Health Navigator: Castlight Complete Navigator is configured to address the unique needs of an organization and guides employees through the complete health journey in a single platform. Whether they are working to stay healthy, accessing care or managing a condition, we can serve them with personalized content and communications through a single user experience. This package combines the full functionality of the Wellbeing Navigator and Care Guidance Navigator packages. All the above Navigator packages include ecosystem integrations, the Castlight Genius personalization engine, and an engagement hub that aggregates all employee benefits, personalized recommendations and communications into one central location. We offer each of our three Navigator packages in two versions: Enterprise and Express. The Enterprise versions are configurable for larger employers with more complex benefit designs and larger numbers of vendor integrations. For mid-size employers, we offer Express versions of our packages, which are pre- configured to facilitate faster implementation and more streamlined management, providing the same base functionality, but no custom integrations. In addition to the above three packages, we offer Elevate as a buy-up product and Engage through Anthem Inc., both of which are described below: Elevate: All customers may purchase our behavioral health module, Castlight Elevate, which guides users to the available behavioral health resources such as employee assistance programs, cognitive behavioral therapy and teletherapy. Engage: In addition to the three Navigator packages we sell directly, we also use our platform to power an offering sold through Anthem, Inc. called Engage. Engage delivers the power and personalized user experience of the Castlight platform to Anthem members with additional features available through deep integrations with Anthem’s own assets, such as 3 Table of Contents the Anthem Health Guide concierge, Anthem’s clinical and care management programs, and Anthem’s gaps-in-care and clinical analytics. Engage is offered in multiple packages, including a more streamlined version that can be offered by Anthem to its smaller size clients. As of December 31, 2018, Engage was available to Anthem, Inc. national accounts and large group accounts in eleven states. See “Strategic Relationships” under the caption “Anthem, Inc.” elsewhere in Item 1 to this Form 10-K for additional information on Engage. We provide a range of services to help employers implement and maximize the value of our offering, including: Our Services • • Implementation Services. We provide implementation services to our customers to help ensure successful deployment of our offering, including executing required data feeds, loading customer data, configuring products, integrating with third-party and other applications, communication and comprehensive testing. We also offer communications services to drive employee engagement with our offering that span educational presentations, email campaigns, print collateral and employer-specific media. Communications initiatives are typically run during open enrollment, time of product launch and periodically post launch, and are designed to drive employee engagement and change management. The fees for these services are included as part of our contracts. User and Customer Support. We offer end user support to help ensure effective employee use of our platform. We provide telephonic, live chat and email support for employees and their families in the areas of account maintenance, technical issue resolution, and navigation of online services. In addition, we assist employees with finding care, understanding their benefits, and interpreting past claims, bills, and total spend. We also enable employees who may have limited computer access to obtain their personalized health care information using our customer support personnel. We offer interactive sessions to our customers that help them understand impact of our product through various standard and customized reporting and provide deeper insights about their employee population with a focus on employee engagement. The fees for these services are included as part of our subscription contracts. • Marketplace: Store and Rewards Center. To help employers drive employee engagement with their benefits, we offer an online store where employers can offer third-party health products and services (e.g. fitness trackers) to their employees for use with Wellbeing Navigator’s activity tracking functionality. Additionally, we power a Rewards Center where employees can redeem incentive points for items such as contributions to the HSA accounts, gift cards, and donations to charity. Revenues from p roducts sold through our online market place is recognized on a net basis principally because we are not the primary obligor to the end-customers. Customers As of December 31, 2018 , we had $150.5 million in signed annual recurring revenue (“ARR”). Together, our customers encompass millions of eligible employees and their families. Our customers consist primarily of large self-insured employers, representing a wide range of industries, such as education, manufacturing, retail, technology and government, and includes some of the largest employers in the United States. We define a customer as a separate and distinct buying entity, such as a company, an educational or government institution, or a distinct business unit of a large corporation, which has entered into a master subscription agreement with us to access our platform, including customers that are in the process of deploying our platform to employee populations. Employees and Culture We view our employees and company culture as critical assets for our business and a source of competitive strength. Our leadership team is focused on supporting our employees and fostering our unique culture. We believe this has enabled us to attract and retain some of the best minds in technology and health care to build and advance our platform. As of December 31, 2018 , we had a total of 470 full-time employees. We also engage contractors and consultants. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. 4 Table of Contents Sales and Marketing We have a hybrid sales model that leverages a national direct sales organization and strong channel partner relationships. Our direct sales team comprises enterprise-focused field sales professionals who are organized into geography-based teams. Our field professionals target large, self-insured U.S. employers and are supported by a sales operations staff, including product technology experts, lead generation professionals and sales data experts. We have also increased our focus on indirect sales through a variety of channels, most notably through our go-to-market relationship with Anthem, Inc. (See "Strategic Relationships" below.) We also maintain relationships with key industry participants including benefit consultants, brokers, group purchasing organizations, and health plan partners. These channel partners can support our sales efforts to varying degrees by sourcing prospects, and working in collaboration with our direct sales team during the sales process. Through these relationships, we believe we are able to reach a broader set of potential customers and leverage existing relationships to promote our health benefits platform and products. We also generate customer leads, accelerate sales opportunities and build brand awareness through our marketing programs and strategic relationships. Our marketing programs target human resource executives and benefits leaders in addition to senior business leaders and health care and benefits channel partners. Our principal marketing programs include value-add research and learning opportunities for potential customers, channel marketing, demand generation activities, field marketing events, direct e-mail campaigns and participation in user conferences, industry events, trade shows and customer conferences. Technology and Operations We have designed our technology infrastructure to provide a highly available and secure multi-tenant cloud-based offering. Our multi-tenant platforms allow us to use a standard data model and consistent management practices for all customers with multiple possible configurations, while securely partitioning each customer’s application data. This approach provides significant operating leverage and improved efficiency as it helps us reduce our fixed cost base and minimize unused capacity on our hardware. The architecture, deployment and management of our technology are focused on: • • • Scalability. We have developed a robust and scalable data architecture infrastructure, which allows for automated loading and normalization of numerous data sources, including billions of claim transactions in our data warehouse. Standardization. Our technology assimilates structured and unstructured data from disparate sources, and employs unique algorithms to convert these data into user-friendly information for our users. Additionally, we operate using Services Oriented Architecture principles, with a platform of services that serve to deliver the application in a scalable and standardized way. Security. We maintain a formal and comprehensive security program designed to ensure the security and integrity of customer data, protect against security threats or data breaches and prevent unauthorized access to our data or the data of our customers. We strictly regulate and limit all access to on-demand servers and networks at our production and remote backup facilities. All users are validated, authenticated and authorized before they can access our system. Users must have a valid user ID and associated password to log on to our services. We require Transport Layer Security between the user’s browser and our servers to protect data in transit. Encrypted backup files are transmitted over secure connections to redundant storage in a secondary data center. We currently host our products from regionally dispersed data centers and lease third-party industry-class data center hosting facilities throughout the United States. We rely on third-party vendors to provide infrastructure support for our data centers, which are designed to host computer systems that require high levels of availability and have redundant subsystems and compartmentalized security zones. We utilize commercially available hardware for our data center servers. Our data center 5 Table of Contents facilities employ advanced measures to ensure physical integrity, including redundant power and cooling systems and advanced fire and flood prevention. Compliance and Certifications Our software services and data are located at independently managed and third-party data center hosting facilities. We require those vendors to obtain third-party security examinations relating to security and data privacy such as Service Organization Controls (SOC) SOC 1 or SOC 2 reports. Our vendors’ examinations are conducted at least every 12 months by an independent third-party auditor, and address, among other areas, physical and environmental safeguards for production data centers, data availability and integrity procedures, change management procedures and logical security procedures. An independent auditor conducts an annual SOC 2 Type II audit of our operating processes and procedures and HITRUST certifications of our security controls. Our annual internal audits are based upon the international standard ISO/IEC 27001 that addresses, among other things, security, data privacy and operational controls. Strategic Relationships Data Collaborations. We have relationships with many national and regional health plans, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), dental insurers, behavioral health plans, and health savings plans to support our mutual customers. These collaborations provide us with claims, balance integrations and other data on behalf of our employer customers. We have developed technologies in collaboration with several payers including real-time integrated APIs. The increasing number of data integrations we have in place is helping to position us as a health navigation platform for our customers, and enables employers to consolidate many of their myriad sources of benefits information toward a single point of reference. Channel Relationships. We have relationships with channel partners, which complement our direct sales capabilities. These relationships and strategies include a focus on brokers, consultants, health plans and enterprise software providers. Through these relationships, we gain the leverage to reach a broader set of potential customers and leverage existing relationships to promote our health benefits platform and products to cross-pollinate customer opportunities. Anthem, Inc. We continue to expand our ongoing relationship with Anthem to deliver greater shared value to our customers and Anthem’s members. In 2017, Anthem began selling Engage, a Castlight-powered health navigation platform branded by Anthem and deeply integrated with Anthem’s own programs and benefits. Today, Anthem is marketing Engage as a highly integrated mobile-first personalized health assistant for new and existing Anthem clients in its national accounts business segment as well as in its large group businesses in eleven states. Additionally, we have developed and continue to support the base technology underlying Anthem’s core care guidance offering, which Anthem is rolling out to its book of business in a phased approach. Ecosystem Vendors. Castlight’s ecosystem provides access to more than 30 pre-integrated digital health partners that we can resell to provide a more integrated and streamlined experience for our users. In addition to our sales partnerships, Castlight also has performed over 1,000 third-party benefit integrations for our customers that deliver effortless access to these programs for our users. Competition Our market is in an early stage of development, but is rapidly evolving and competitive. We currently face competition from both existing and emerging vendors across a variety of categories, from specialists in the care guidance and wellbeing areas of the market, to broader offerings that compete with our full health navigation platform. A listing of some of our common competitors, grouped by major category, includes: • Care guidance competitors, which include: independent vendors such as ClearCost Health, Compass, Healthcare Bluebook, Accolade, HealthAdvocate, and Quantum Health; and U.S. health plans such as Aetna Inc., Cigna Corporation, and United Healthcare Group, Inc., and Health Services Corporation that bundle basic care guidance functionality into their offering; • Wellbeing competitors, which include: Limeade, VirginPulse and Vitality; and • Platform competitors, which include: United Healthcare Group’s Optum/Rally offering, and emerging competitors such as Evive, Welltok, and Sharecare. 6 Table of Contents The principal competitive factors in our industry include: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ability to curate complex data from multiple sources and present it through an easy to navigate user interface; capability for customization through configuration, integration, security, scalability and reliability of products; ease of use and rates of user engagement; complimentary technology platform and high touch services; breadth and depth of application functionality; competitive and understandable pricing; size of customer base and level of user engagement; depth of access to third-party data sources; ability to integrate with legacy enterprise infrastructures and third-party applications; ability to innovate and respond rapidly to customer needs and regulatory changes; domain expertise in benefits and health care consumerism; accessibility on any browser or mobile device; clearly defined implementation timeline; and customer branding and styling. While we believe that we compete favorably on the basis of these factors, many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution or other resources and greater name recognition than we do. In addition, many of our competitors have strong relationships with current and potential customers and extensive knowledge of the health care industry. We also may face competition from new entrants to the field as healthcare delivery and services continue to evolve. As a result, we may not always compare favorably with respect to certain of the above factors. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed if we fail to meet these competitive pressures. Intellectual Property We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish, maintain and protect our proprietary rights. These laws, procedures and restrictions provide only limited protection and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated. In addition, we may not be able to prevent others from developing technology that is similar to, but not the same as our proprietary technology. We generally require employees, consultants, customers, suppliers and partners to execute confidentiality agreements with us that restrict the disclosure of our intellectual property. We also require our employees and consultants to execute invention assignment agreements with us that protect our intellectual property rights. As of December 31, 2018 , we had one issued patent and three patent applications pending in the United States. Our issued patent expires on July 27, 2031. We own and use trademarks on or in connection with our products and services, including both unregistered common law marks and issued trademark registrations in the United States and elsewhere. We have trademark applications pending to register marks in the United States. We have also registered numerous Internet domain names. Although we rely on intellectual property rights, including trade secrets, patents, copyrights and trademarks, as well as contractual protections to establish and protect our proprietary rights, we believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, creation of new modules, features and functionality, and frequent enhancements to our products are more essential to establishing and maintaining our technology leadership position. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary technology and our intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or obtain and use our technology to develop products with the same functionality as our offering. In addition, policing unauthorized use of our technology and intellectual property rights is difficult and may not be effective. We expect that we and others in our industry may be subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any of these third parties might make a claim of infringement against us at any time. Any such claim could pose a substantial distraction to the management of the company. A successful claim of this type may be costly and could require us to spend substantial time and effort in making our offering non-infringing. 7 Table of Contents Strategic Acquisition On April 3, 2017, we completed our acquisition of Jiff, Inc. Jiff provided an enterprise health benefits platform that served as a central hub for employee wellbeing and employee benefit programs and is the foundation for our Wellbeing Navigator. The acquisition enabled us to develop a product offering that provides the full spectrum of wellbeing, healthcare decision support and an engagement hub all in one complete package. Regulatory Environment Participants in the health care industry are required to comply with extensive and complex laws and regulations in the United States at the federal and state levels as well as applicable international laws. Although many regulatory and governmental requirements do not directly apply to our business, our customers are required to comply with a variety of laws, and we may be affected by these laws as a result of our contractual obligations. Similarly, there are a number of legislative proposals in the Unites States, both at the federal and state level, which could impose new obligations in areas affecting our business, such as liability for copyright infringement by third parties. We have attempted to structure our operations to comply with applicable legal requirements, but there can be no assurance that our operations will not be challenged or impacted by enforcement initiatives. Healthcare Reform Our business could be affected by changes in health care laws, including without limitation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or ACA, which was enacted in March 2010. The ACA has changed how health care services are covered, delivered and reimbursed through expanded coverage of individuals, changes in Medicare program spending and insurance market reforms. Ongoing government and legislative initiatives may bring about other changes. While most of the provisions of the ACA and other health care reform legislation will not be directly applicable to us, they may affect the business of many of our customers, which may in turn affect our business. Although we are unable to predict with any reasonable certainty or otherwise quantify the likely impact of the ACA, any amendment or repeal of the ACA, or other health care reform on our business model, financial condition, or results of operations, negative changes in the business of our customers and the number of individuals they insure may negatively impact our business. Requirements Regarding the Privacy and Security of Personal Information U.S.- HIPAA and Other Privacy and Security Requirements. There are many U.S. federal and state laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of personal health information. For example, in June 2018, the California State Legislature passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), a major new state law poised to affect the privacy landscape globally and allows the California Attorney General to impose fines for CCPA violations. The CCPA is effective January 1, 2020 and the earliest the California Attorney General may bring an enforcement action under the CCPA is July 1, 2020. The CCPA is applicable to our business and we plan on implementing necessary changes to our business operations. Additionally , regulations promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations, collectively HIPAA, establishes privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of protected health information and require the implementation of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of individually identifiable health information in electronic form. Our health plan customers, as well as health care clearinghouses and certain providers with which we may have or may establish business relationships, are covered entities that are regulated under HIPAA. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, which became effective on February 17, 2010, significantly expanded HIPAA’s privacy and security requirements. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s privacy and security standards directly applicable to “business associates,” who are independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain, or transmit protected health information in connection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. Under HIPAA and our contractual agreements with our customers, we are considered a “business associate” to our customers and thus are directly subject to HIPAA’s privacy and security standards. In order to provide our covered entity customers with services that involve the use or disclosure of protected health information, HIPAA requires our customers to enter into business associate agreements with it. Such agreements must, among other things, require us to: • limit how we will use and disclose the protected health information; 8 Table of Contents • • • • implement reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information from misuse; enter into similar agreements with our agents and subcontractors that have access to the information; report security incidents, breaches and other inappropriate uses or disclosures of the information; and assist the customer in question with certain duties under the privacy standards. In addition to HIPAA regulations, we may be subject to other state and federal privacy laws, including laws that prohibit unfair or deceptive practices and laws that place specific requirements on use of data. We cannot provide assurance regarding how the various privacy and security laws will be interpreted, enforced or applied to our operations. International Privacy Requirements. In Europe, we are subject to the 1995 European Union (“EU”) Directive on Data Protection (“1995 Data Protection Directive”), which requires EU member states to impose minimum restrictions on the collection and use of personal data that, in some respects, are more stringent, and impose more significant burdens on subject businesses, than current privacy standards in the United States. The EU member state regulations establish several obligations that organizations must follow with respect to use of personal data, including a prohibition on the transfer of personal information from the EU to other countries whose laws do not protect personal data to an adequate level of privacy or security. In addition, certain member states have adopted more stringent data protection standards. The Company has addressed these requirements by certification to the EU/US Privacy Shield framework the European Commission deemed the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework adequate to enable data transfers under EU law July 12, 2016. On January 12, 2017, the Swiss Government announced the approval of the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as a valid legal mechanism to comply with Swiss requirements when transferring personal data from Switzerland to the United States. On December 15, 2015, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (Council) reached a political agreement on the future EU data protection legal framework. Formally adopted by the European Parliament in 2016, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) replaced the 1995 Data Protection Directive. GDPR went into effect in May 2018. GDPR includes operational requirements for companies that receive or process personal data of European Union residents that are different than those currently in place in the European Union, and includes significant penalties for non-compliance. In addition, some countries are considering or have passed legislation implementing data protection requirements or requiring local storage and processing of data or similar requirements that could increase the cost and complexity of delivering our services. Data Protection and Breaches . In recent years, there have been a number of well-publicized data breaches involving the improper use and disclosure of individuals’ personal information. Many states have responded to these incidents by enacting laws requiring holders of personal information to maintain safeguards and to take certain actions in response to a data breach, such as providing prompt notification of the breach to affected individuals and state officials. In addition, under HIPAA, we must report breaches of unsecured protected health information to our contractual partners within 60 days of discovery of the breach. Notification must also be made to HHS and, in certain circumstances involving large breaches, to the media. Under the GDPR, the data controller is required to report personal data breaches to the supervisory authority within 72 hours of discovery of the breach. We have implemented and maintained physical, technical and administrative safeguards intended to protect all personal data, and have processes in place to assist it in complying with all applicable laws, regulations and contractual requirements regarding the protection of these data and properly responding to any security breaches or incidents. However, we cannot be sure that these safeguards are adequate to protect all personal data or to assist us in complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the privacy and security of personal data and responding to any security breaches or incidents. Furthermore, in many cases, applicable state laws, including breach notification requirements, are not preempted by the HIPAA privacy and security standards and are subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities, thereby complicating our compliance efforts. Additionally, state and federal laws regarding deceptive practices may apply to public assurances we give to individuals about the security of services we provide on behalf of our contractual customers. Other Requirements. In addition to HIPAA, numerous other U.S. state and federal laws govern the collection, dissemination, use, access to and confidentiality of individually identifiable health information and health care provider information. Some states also are considering new laws and regulations that further protect the confidentiality, privacy and security of medical records or other types of medical information. In many cases, these state laws are not preempted by the HIPAA privacy standards and may be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities. Further, 9 Table of Contents Congress and a number of states have considered or are considering prohibitions or limitations on the disclosure of medical or other information to individuals or entities located outside of the United States. We dedicate significant resources to protecting our customers’ confidential and protected health information, or PHI. Our security strategy employs various practices and technology to control and protect access to sensitive information. In February 2019, our application and infrastructure received certification status from the Health Information Trust Alliance, or HITRUST, the healthcare industry group that certifies an entity’s material compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and the regulations that have been issued under it, which we collectively refer to as HIPAA, and various states’ security and privacy laws regarding the creation, access, storage or exchange of personal health and financial information. Our certification status signifies that we exhibit and are able to maintain high security standards of electronic PHI.

Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event the market price of our Class B common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. Risks Related to Our Business We rely on channel partners for a substantial portion of our sales, and if our channel partner relationships are unsuccessful then our sales results will be adversely affected and the growth of our business will be harmed. Our sales strategy relies on relationships we have developed with health plans, benefits consultants, brokers and other industry participants, and we are continuing to invest in, and expect to continue to increase our reliance on, these relationships with channel partners to access customers and grow our overall sales. However, there can be no assurance that our channel partner relationships will be successful, or will result in access to additional customers or growth in sales. Our channel partnerships do not always meet our expectations and could fail for a variety of reasons, including changes in our partners’ business priorities, insufficient or misaligned incentives for our partners to assist us with sales, competition, or other factors. In addition, our reliance on sales through channel partners could put downward pressure on the total revenue we are able to generate, and could result in existing customers electing to use alternative or lower-functionality versions of our products that we may elect to provide through channel partners. The concentration of a material portion of business with any given channel partner could also create tensions with other companies we do business with, including health plans on whom we rely to receive data and offer our services. Certain relationships we will enter or have entered into with channel partners will require substantial investments of our resources to support these initiatives. There can be no assurance that the investments we make to develop and support these channel relationships, or the effort required to do so, will provide a positive return on our investment in the near term, or at all. If any of these events materialize, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If our new products and services are not adopted by our customers, or if we fail to continue to innovate and develop new products and services that are adopted by customers, then our revenue and operating results will be adversely affected. 10 Table of Contents Prior to our acquisition of Jiff, we derived a substantial majority of our revenue from sales of our legacy care guidance platform, and our longer-term operating results and continued growth depend in part on our ability to successfully develop and sell new products and services that our new and existing customers want and are willing to purchase. In addition to our legacy core Castlight platform (now marketed as our care guidance solution), we continue to introduce a number of products and cross-sells, such as our latest offering of Castlight Complete, Care Guidance Navigator, Wellbeing Navigator, Elevate and Engage, but it is uncertain whether these products and services will result in significant revenue or comprise a significant portion of our total revenue. In addition, based on our belief that our customers are interested in acquiring wellness-related products, we devoted substantial efforts to our acquisition of Jiff, and expect to continue to devote substantial efforts to the integration and expansion of that portion of the business. We have also invested, and will continue to invest, significant resources in research and development to enhance our existing offering and introduce new high quality products and services. If existing customers are not willing to make additional payments for such new products, or if new customers do not value such new products, our business and operating results will be harmed. If we are unable to predict user preferences or our industry changes, or if we are unable to modify our offering and services on a timely basis, we might lose customers. Our operating results would also suffer if our innovations are not responsive to the needs of our customers, appropriately timed with market opportunity or effectively communicated and brought to market. If our existing customers do not continue or renew their agreements with us, renew at lower fee levels or decline to purchase additional products and services from us, our business and operating results will suffer. We expect to derive a significant portion of our revenue from renewal of existing customer agreements and sales of additional products and services to existing customers. Revenue recognized in any quarter is largely derived from customer agreements signed in prior quarters. As a result, achieving a high renewal rate of our customer agreements and selling additional products and services is critical to our future operating results. We may experience significantly more difficulty than we anticipate in renewing existing customer agreements or in renewing them upon favorable terms, particularly as we seek to convert customers who initially purchased our transparency-only offering to our full platform offering. Factors that may affect the renewal rate for our offering, terms of those renewals and our ability to sell additional products and services include: • • • • • • • • • the price, performance and functionality of our offering; our customers’ user counts and benefit design features; the availability, price, performance and functionality of competing or alternative solutions; the potential for customers that are able to access lower-functionality versions of our offering that we provide through health plans or other channel partners to opt to use the lower-functionality versions of our offering; our ability to develop complementary products and services; our continued ability to access the pricing and claims data necessary to enable us to deliver reliable data in our cost estimation and price transparency offering to customers; the stability, performance and security of our hosting infrastructure and hosting services; changes in health care laws, regulations or trends; and the business environment of our customers, in particular, headcount reductions by our customers. We enter into master services agreements with our customers. These agreements generally have stated terms of three years. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions for our offering after the term expires. In addition, our customers may negotiate terms less advantageous to us upon renewal, which may reduce our revenue from these customers. Factors that are not within our control may contribute to a reduction in our contract revenue. For instance, our customers may reduce their number of employees, which would result in a corresponding reduction in the number of employee users eligible for our offering and thus a lower aggregate monthly services fee. Our future operating results also depend, in part, on our ability to sell new products and services to our existing customers. If our customers fail to renew their agreements, renew their agreements upon less favorable terms or at lower fee levels, or fail to purchase new products and services from us, our revenue may decline or our future revenue may be constrained. In addition, a significant number of our customer agreements allow customers to terminate such agreements for convenience at certain times, typically with one to three months advance notice. We typically incur the expenses associated with integrating a customer’s data into our health care database and related training and support prior to recognizing meaningful revenue from such customer. Customer subscription revenue is not recognized until our products are implemented for launch, which is generally from three to 12 months from contract signing. If a customer terminates its agreement early and revenue and 11 Table of Contents cash flows expected from a customer are not realized in the time period expected or not realized at all, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. We operate in a competitive industry, and if we are not able to compete effectively, our business and operating results will be harmed. The market for our products and services is competitive, and we expect the market to attract increased competition, which could make it hard for us to succeed. We currently face competition for portions of our offering from a range of companies, including healthcare information technology companies and specialized software and solution providers that offer similar solutions, often at substantially lower prices, and that are continuing to develop additional products and becoming more sophisticated and effective. Our market is in an early stage of development, but is rapidly evolving and competitive. We currently face competition from both existing and emerging vendors across a variety of categories, from specialists in the care guidance and wellbeing areas of the market, to broader offerings that compete with our full health navigation platform. There are a number of independent companies we compete with across the various functions of our health navigation platform. Care guidance competitors include Accolade, ClearCost Health, Compass, HealthAdvocate, Healthcare Bluebook, and Quantum Health. Wellbeing competitors include Limeade, VirginPulse, and Vitality. Platform competitors include Evive, Optum/Rally, Sharecare, and Welltok. In addition, large, well-financed health plans, with whom we cooperate and on whom we depend in order to obtain the pricing and claims data we need to deliver our offering to customers, have in some cases developed or acquired their own wellbeing and care guidance tools and provide these solutions to their customers at discounted prices or often for free. These health plans include, for example, Aetna Inc., Cigna Corporation, Health Services Corporation, and UnitedHealth Group, Inc. Competition from specialized software and solution providers, health plans and other parties may result in pricing pressure, which may lead to price decline in certain product segments, which could negatively impact our sales, profitability and market share. In addition, if health plans perceive continued cooperation with us as a threat to their business interests, they may take steps that impair our access to pricing and claims data, or that otherwise make it more difficult or costly for us to deliver our offering to customers. Some of our competitors, in particular health plans, have greater name recognition, longer operating histories and significantly greater resources than we do. Furthermore, our current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with greater available resources. As a result, our competitors might be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements and may have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. In addition, current and potential competitors have established, and might in the future establish, cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary products, technologies or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace. The field of healthcare and the services related to healthcare are subject to change, and there has been consolidation in the industry. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances might emerge that have greater market share, a larger customer base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, greater financial resources and larger sales forces than we have, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. Our competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of our market, such as customers that desire a more narrow solution, which could create additional price pressure. In light of these factors, even if our offering is more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential customers might accept competitive offerings in lieu of purchasing our offerings. Our proprietary software may not operate properly, which could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against us or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business and operating results. Proprietary software development is time-consuming, expensive and complex, and may involve unforeseen difficulties. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we will discover additional problems that prevent our proprietary products from operating properly. We are currently developing new features and services in our proprietary software for all of our offerings. If any of our offerings does not function reliably or fails to achieve customer expectations in terms of performance, customers could assert liability claims against us or attempt to cancel their contracts with us. This could damage our reputation and impair our ability to attract or maintain clients which would adversely affect our operating results. Moreover, data services that are as complex as those we offer have in the past contained, and may in the future develop or contain, undetected defects or errors. Material performance problems, defects or errors in our existing or new software and products and services may arise in the future and may result from interface of our offering with systems and data that we did 12 Table of Contents not develop and the function of which is outside of our control or undetected in our testing. These defects and errors and any failure by us to identify and address them could result in loss of revenue or market share, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation and increased service and maintenance costs. Defects or errors in our health benefits platform might discourage existing or potential customers from purchasing our offering from us. Correction of defects or errors could prove to be impossible or impracticable. The costs incurred in correcting any defects or errors may be substantial and could adversely affect our operating results. Any failure to offer high-quality technical support services may adversely affect our relationships with our customers and harm our financial results. Our customers depend on our support organization to resolve any technical issues relating to our offering. In addition, our sales process is highly dependent on the quality of our offering, our business reputation and on strong recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure to maintain high-quality and highly-responsive technical support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality and highly-responsive support, could harm our reputation, adversely affect our ability to sell our offering to existing and prospective customers, and harm our business, operating results and financial condition. We offer technical support services with our offering and may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for support services, particularly as we increase the size of our customer base. We also may be unable to modify the format of our support services to compete with changes in support services provided by competitors. It is difficult to predict customer demand for technical support services and if customer demand increases significantly, we may be unable to provide satisfactory support services to our customers and their employees. Additionally, increased customer demand for these services, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and adversely affect our operating results. If we cannot implement our offering for customers in a timely manner, we may lose customers and our reputation may be harmed. Our customers have a variety of different data formats, enterprise applications and infrastructure and our offering must support our customers’ data formats and integrate with complex enterprise applications and infrastructures. If our platform does not currently support a customer’s required data format or appropriately integrate with a customer’s applications and infrastructure, or if an existing customer switches to unsupported infrastructure, then we may have to configure our platform to do so, which increases our expenses. Additionally, we do not control our customers’ implementation schedules. As a result, if our customers do not allocate internal resources necessary to meet their implementation responsibilities or if we face unanticipated implementation difficulties, the implementation may be delayed. Further, our implementation capacity has at times constrained our ability to successfully implement our offering for our customers in a timely manner, particularly during periods of high demand. If the customer implementation process is not executed successfully or if execution is delayed, we could incur significant costs, customers could become dissatisfied and decide not to increase usage of our offering, or not to use our offering beyond an initial period prior to their term commitment or, in some cases, revenue recognition could be delayed. Our data dependencies and implementation procedures differ for each new product that we launch. Accordingly, our ability to convert sales of new products into billings and revenue depends on our ability to create a scalable launch infrastructure in each case. In addition, competitors with more efficient operating models with lower implementation costs could penetrate our customer relationships. Additionally, large and demanding enterprise customers, who currently comprise the majority of our customer base, may request or require specific features or functions unique to their particular business processes, which increase our upfront investment in sales and deployment efforts and the revenue resulting from the customers under our typical contract length may not cover the upfront investments. If prospective large customers require specific features or functions that we do not offer, then the market for our offering will be more limited and our business could suffer. In addition, supporting large customers could require us to devote significant development services and support personnel and strain our personnel resources and infrastructure. Furthermore, if we are unable to address the needs of these customers in a timely fashion or further develop and enhance our offering, or if a customer or its employees are not satisfied with our quality of work, our offering or professional services then we could incur additional costs to address the situation. In addition, we may be required to issue credits or refunds for prepaid amounts related to unused services, the timing of recognition of revenue for, and the profitability of, that work might be impaired and the customer’s dissatisfaction with our 13 Table of Contents offering could damage our ability to expand the number of products and services purchased by that customer. These customers may not renew their agreements, seek to terminate their relationship with us or renew on less favorable terms. Moreover, negative publicity related to our customer relationships, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business by affecting our ability to retain or compete for new business with current and prospective customers. If any of these were to occur, our revenue may fail to grow at historical rates or at all, or may even decline, and our operating results could be adversely affected. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our expenses could increase more than expected, our revenue may not increase and we may be unable to implement our business strategy. We have experienced significant growth in recent periods, which puts strain on our business, operations and employees. For example, our revenue has increased from $132.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 to $156.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Future revenues may not grow at these same rates or may decline. To manage our current and anticipated future growth effectively, we must continue to maintain and enhance our IT infrastructure, financial and accounting systems and controls. Moreover, we may from time to time decide to undertake cost savings initiatives, such as the reductions in workforce we implemented in 2016 and 2018, or disposing of, or otherwise discontinuing certain products, in an effort to focus our resources on key strategic initiatives and streamline our business. We must also attract, train and retain a significant number of qualified personnel in key areas such as research and development, sales and marketing, customer support, professional services, and management, and the availability of such personnel, in particular software engineers, may be constrained. These and similar challenges, and the related costs, may be exacerbated by the fact that our headquarters is located in the San Francisco Bay Area. A key aspect to managing our growth is our ability to scale our capabilities to implement our offering satisfactorily with respect to both large and demanding enterprise customers, who currently comprise the majority of our customer base, as well as smaller customers. Large customers often require specific features or functions unique to their particular business processes, which at a time of rapid growth or during periods of high demand, may strain our implementation capacity and hinder our ability to successfully implement our offering to our customers in a timely manner. We may also need to make further investments in our technology and automate portions of our offering or services to decrease our costs, particularly as we grow sales of our health benefits platform to smaller customers. If we are unable to address the needs of our customers or their employees, or our customers or their employees are unsatisfied with the quality of our offering or services, they may not renew their agreements, seek to cancel or terminate their relationship with us or renew on less favorable terms. In addition, many of our customers adjust their benefit plan designs, benefits providers and eligibility criteria at the start of each new benefits plan year, requiring additional configurations for those customers. As our customer base grows, the complexity of these activities can increase. If we fail to automate these operations sufficiently and implement these changes on a timely basis or are unable to implement them effectively, our business may suffer. We may experience additional challenges with managing our growth relating to our acquisition of Jiff. The operation and integration of the acquired technologies has required, and we expect will continue to require, substantial financial costs and substantial management attention. If we fail to effectively manage the continued integration process in a timely manner, our business and financial results may suffer. Failure to effectively manage our growth could also lead us to over-invest or under-invest in development and operations, result in weaknesses in our infrastructure, systems or controls, give rise to operational mistakes, financial losses, loss of productivity or business opportunities and result in loss of employees and reduced productivity of remaining employees. Our growth is expected to require significant capital expenditures and might divert financial resources from other projects such as the development of new products and services. In addition, data and content fees, which are one of our primary operational costs, are not fixed as they vary based on the source and condition of the data we receive from third parties, and if they remain variable or increase over time, we would not be able to realize the economies of scale that we expect as we grow renewals and implementation of new customers, which may negatively impact our gross margin. If our management is unable to effectively manage our growth, our expenses might increase more than expected, our revenue may not increase or might grow more slowly than expected and we might be unable to implement our business strategy. The quality of our offering might also suffer, which could negatively affect our reputation and harm our ability to retain and attract customers. We depend on our senior management team, and the loss of one or more of our executive officers or key employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees or key subcontractor services could adversely affect our business. 14 Table of Contents Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our key executive officers. These executive officers are at-will employees and therefore may terminate employment with us at any time with no advance notice. We do not maintain “key person” insurance for any of these executive officers or any of our other key employees. We also rely on our leadership team in the areas of research and development, marketing, services and general and administrative functions. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. The replacement of one or more of our executive officers or other key employees would likely involve significant time and cost and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives. To continue to execute our growth strategy, we also must attract and retain highly skilled personnel, particularly in research and development and sales and marketing. Competition is intense for engineers with high levels of experience in designing and developing software and Internet-related services, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area where we are located. We might not be successful in maintaining our unique culture and continuing to attract and retain qualified personnel. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled personnel with appropriate qualifications. The pool of qualified personnel with Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, experience or experience working with the health care market is limited overall. In addition, many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. We supplement our hired skilled personnel through the use of subcontractors, particularly in the area of research and development, a significant portion of which perform services outside of the United States. If these subcontractors cease to perform services for us for any reason, our ability to meet our development goals may be impaired, and our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed. In addition, in making employment decisions, particularly in the Internet and high-technology industries, job candidates often consider the value of the stock options or other equity instruments they are to receive in connection with their employment. Volatility or performance trends in the price of our stock might, therefore, adversely affect our ability to attract or retain highly skilled personnel. Furthermore, the requirement to expense stock options and other equity instruments might discourage us from granting the size or type of stock option or equity awards that job candidates require to join our company. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be severely harmed. Our marketing efforts depend significantly on our ability to receive positive references from our existing customers. Our marketing efforts depend significantly on our ability to call on our current customers to provide positive references to new, potential customers. Given our limited number of long-term customers, the loss or dissatisfaction of any customer could substantially harm our brand and reputation, inhibit the market adoption of our offering and impair our ability to attract new customers and maintain existing customers. Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our security measures are breached and customer’s data are compromised, our offering may be perceived as insecure, we may incur significant liabilities, our reputation may be harmed and we could lose sales and customers. Our offering involves the storage and transmission of customers’ proprietary information, personally identifiable information, and protected health information of our customers’ employees and their dependents, which is regulated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations, collectively HIPAA. Because of the extreme sensitivity of this information, the security features of our offering are very important. If our security measures, some of which are managed by third parties, are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to obtain access to sensitive customer or employee data, including HIPAA-regulated protected health information. A security breach or failure could result from a variety of circumstances and events, including third-party action, employee negligence or error, malfeasance, computer viruses, attacks by computer hackers, failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components thereof, power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication failures, user errors, and catastrophic events. If our security measures were to be breached or fail, our reputation could be severely damaged, adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, customers may curtail their use of or stop using our offering and our business may suffer. In addition, we could face litigation, damages for contract breach, penalties and regulatory actions for violation of HIPAA and other laws or regulations applicable to data protection and significant costs for remediation and for measures to prevent future occurrences. In addition, any potential security breach could result in increased costs associated with liability for stolen assets or information, repairing system damage that may have been caused by such breaches, incentives offered to customers or other 15 Table of Contents business partners in an effort to maintain the business relationships after a breach and implementing measures to prevent future occurrences, including organizational changes, deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees and engaging third-party experts and consultants. While we maintain insurance covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses we may not carry insurance or maintain coverage sufficient to compensate for all liability and such insurance may not be available for renewal on acceptable terms or at all, and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident. We outsource important aspects of the storage and transmission of customer information, and thus rely on third parties to manage functions that have material cyber-security risks. These outsourced functions include services such as software design and product development, software engineering, database consulting, call center operations, co-location data centers, data-center security, IT, network security and Web application firewall services. We attempt to address these risks by requiring outsourcing subcontractors who handle customer information to sign business associate agreements contractually requiring those subcontractors to adequately safeguard personal health data and in some cases by requiring such outsourcing subcontractors to undergo third-party security examinations. However, we cannot assure you that these contractual measures and other safeguards will adequately protect us from the risks associated with the storage and transmission of customers proprietary and protected health information. We may experience cyber-security and other breach incidents that may remain undetected for an extended period. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against us, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. In addition, in the event that our customers authorize or enable third parties to access their data or the data of their employees on our systems, we cannot ensure the complete integrity or security of such data in our systems as we would not control that access. Third parties may also attempt to fraudulently induce our employees or customers and their employees into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other information or otherwise compromise our security measures in order to gain access to customer information, which could result in significant legal and financial exposure, a loss of confidence in the security of our offering, interruptions or malfunctions in our operations, and, ultimately, harm to our future business prospects and revenue. Because our offering offers single sign-on capabilities for our customers and their employees to point solutions offered by our partners, unauthorized access to our offering could also result in security breaches of customer information and data in offerings by our partners. We may be required to expend significant capital and financial resources to invest in security measures, protect against such threats or to alleviate problems caused by breaches in security. If an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, or if we are unable to effectively resolve such breaches in a timely manner, the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose sales and customers or suffer other reputational harm. Regardless of the merits of any such suit, defending it could be costly and divert management’s attention from leading our business. We have a history of significant GAAP losses, which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future, and we may never achieve or sustain profitability in the future. We have incurred significant GAAP net losses in each year since our incorporation in 2008 and expect to continue to incur GAAP net losses for at least fiscal year 2019. We experienced GAAP net losses of $39.7 million , $51.9 million and $58.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. As of December 31, 2018 , we had an accumulated deficit of $415.0 million . The GAAP losses and accumulated deficit were primarily due to the substantial investments we made to grow our business, enhance our technology and offering through research and development and acquire and support customers. We announced a restructuring program in July 2018 to reduce our workforce and better align our operations with evolving business needs, under which we reduced our expected expenses by approximately 12%. However, our estimates and forecasts relating to the success of our cost-savings measures may prove to be inaccurate. We anticipate that cost of revenue and operating expenses will increase in the foreseeable future as we seek to continue to grow our business, enhance our offering and acquire customers. In addition, as a result of our acquisition of Jiff, we have incurred substantial transaction costs and we may incur further increases in our cost of revenue and operating expenses in connection with the integration of the Jiff and Castlight functionalities and costs to acquire customers. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. Many of our efforts to generate revenue from our business are new and unproven, and any failure to increase our revenue or generate revenue from new products and services could prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability. Furthermore, to the extent we are successful in increasing our customer base, we could also incur increased GAAP losses because costs associated with entering 16 Table of Contents into customer agreements are generally incurred up front, while customers are generally billed over the term of the agreement. Our prior GAAP losses, combined with our expected future GAAP losses, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. We expect to continue to incur GAAP operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable on a quarterly or annual basis, or if we do, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. As a result of these factors, we may need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings in order to fund our operations, which could be dilutive to stockholders, and such capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects. We were founded in 2008, began building the first version of our care guidance platform in 2009, did not complete our first customer sale and implementation until 2010 and did not make substantial investments in sales and marketing until 2012. Jiff was founded in 2010 and had its first customer implementation in 2013 before being acquired by us in April of 2017. The limited operating histories of these two businesses, standalone and as combined, limit our ability to forecast our future operating results and such forecasts are subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by new and growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as determining appropriate investments of our limited resources, market adoption of our existing and future offerings, competition from other companies, acquiring and retaining customers, managing customer deployments, hiring, integrating, training and retaining skilled personnel, developing new products and services, determining prices for our products, handling unforeseen expenses and managing challenges in forecasting accuracy. If our assumptions regarding these and other similar risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change as we gain more experience operating our business or due to changes in our industry, or if we do not address these risks and uncertainties successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations and our business could suffer. In addition, we may need to change our current operations infrastructure in order for us to achieve profitability and scale our operations efficiently, which makes our future prospects even more difficult to evaluate. For example, in order to grow sales of our health benefits platform to smaller customers in a financially sustainable manner, we may need to further automate implementations, tailor our offering and modify our go-to-market approaches to reduce our service delivery and customer acquisition costs. If we fail to implement these changes on a timely basis or are unable to implement them effectively, our business may suffer. We may be unable to fully realize the anticipated benefits of the Jiff acquisition. Following the acquisition of Jiff, Inc., as a combined company we have been and will continue to be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of the two businesses. As a combined company, we may fail to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition if the integration process is not successful or is more costly than expected. As a combined company we may encounter difficulties in the integration process that include the following: • • • • • • the inability to successfully market and sell the combined product offerings; lost sales and customers as a result of certain customers deciding not to migrate their pre-combination product selection to our combined product: complexities associated with managing the combined businesses; creating uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies and information systems; performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by integrating the companies’ operations and functionality, or developing new functionality; and potential loss of brand awareness or confusion as a result of our re-branding activities. It is possible that the need to support pre-combination legacy product offerings could result in the diversion of management’s attention, the disruption or interruption of, or the loss of momentum in, the ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability as a combined company to maintain relationships with customers, partners and employees or its ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, or could reduce the earnings or otherwise adversely affect the business and financial results of the combined 17 Table of Contents company. Moreover, in addition to the possible failure to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, including revenues or return on investment assumptions, we may be exposed to unknown liabilities or impairment charges as a result of such acquisitions. The market for our offering is immature and volatile, and if it does not further develop, if it develops more slowly than we expect, or if our offering does not drive employee engagement, the growth of our business will be harmed. Our market is immature and volatile, and it is uncertain whether we will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market adoption. Our success depends to a substantial extent on the willingness of employers to increase their use of our health navigation platform, the ability of our products to increase employee engagement, as well as on our ability to demonstrate the value of our offering to customers and their employees and to develop new products that provide value to customers and users. If employers do not perceive the benefits of our offering or our offering does not drive employee engagement, then our market might develop more slowly than we expect, or even shrink, which could significantly and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, we have limited insight into trends that might develop and affect our business. We might make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business, legal and regulatory trends, which could harm our business. If any of these events occur, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we have devoted substantial efforts to our acquisition of Jiff, and expect to continue to devote substantial efforts to the operation and integration of the Jiff and Castlight functionalities. We have undertaken these efforts based on our belief that our customers are interested in a combined suite of offerings that address both health benefit management and wellness needs. However, if customer demand for a combined suite of offerings is lower than expected, then our business will be harmed and our operating results will suffer. Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly, which could adversely impact the value of our Class B common stock. Our quarterly results of operations, including our revenue, gross margin, net loss and cash flows, may vary significantly in the future, and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. Accordingly, our quarterly results should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including, without limitation, those listed elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section and those listed below: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • the addition or loss of large customers, including through acquisitions or consolidations of such customers; seasonal and other variations in the timing of the sales of our offering, as a significantly higher proportion of our customers either enter into new subscription agreements or renew previous agreements with us in the second half of the year. the timing of recognition of revenue, including possible delays in the recognition of revenue due to lengthy and sometimes unpredictable implementation timelines or changes brought about by new accounting pronouncements; failure to meet our contractual commitments under service-level agreements with our customers; the amount and timing of operating expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure; our access to pricing and claims data managed by health plans and other third parties, or changes to the fees we pay for that data; the timing and success of introductions of new products, services and pricing by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive dynamics of our industry, including consolidation among competitors, customers or strategic partners; our ability to attract new customers; customer renewal rates and the timing and terms of customer renewals; network outages or security breaches; the mix of products and services sold or renewed during a period; general economic, industry and market conditions; the timing of expenses related to the development or acquisition of technologies or businesses and potential future charges for impairment of goodwill from acquired companies; and other impacts of new accounting pronouncements. We are particularly subject to fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations since the costs associated with entering into customer agreements and implementing our offerings are generally incurred prior to launch, while we generally recognize 18 Table of Contents revenue over the term of the agreement beginning at launch. In addition, some of our contracts with customers provide for one-time bonus payments, or in some cases fee reductions, if our offering does, or does not, achieve certain metrics, such as a certain rate of employee engagement. These bonuses or reductions may lead to additional fluctuations in our quarterly operating results. In certain contracts, employee engagement may refer to the number of first time registrations by employees of our customers and in other cases it may refer to return usage of our products by employees. Any fluctuations in our quarterly results may not accurately reflect the underlying performance of our business and could cause a decline in the trading price of our Class B common stock. We incur significant upfront costs in our customer relationships, and if we are unable to maintain and grow these customer relationships over time, we are likely to fail to recover these costs and our operating results will suffer. We devote significant resources and incur significant upfront costs to establish relationships with our customers and implement our offering and related services, particularly in the case of large enterprises that in the past have requested or required specific features or functions unique to their particular business processes. Accordingly, our operating results will depend in substantial part on our ability to deliver a successful customer experience and persuade our customers to maintain and grow their relationship with us over time. For example, if we are not successful in implementing our offering or delivering a successful customer experience, a customer could terminate or decline to renew their agreement with us, we would lose or be unable to recoup the significant upfront costs that we had expended on such customer and our operating results would suffer. As we grow, our customer acquisition costs could outpace our build-up of recurring revenue, and we may be unable to reduce our total operating costs through economies of scale such that we are unable to achieve profitability. Our ability to deliver our full offering to customers depends in substantial part on our ability to access data and other resources that are managed by a limited number of health plans and other third parties. In order to deliver the full functionality offered by our health benefits platform, we need continued access, on behalf of our customers, to sources of pricing and claims data, much of which is managed by a limited number of health plans and other third parties. We have developed various long-term and short- term processes to obtain data from certain health plans and other third parties. We are limited in our ability to offer the full functionality of our offering to customers of health plans with whom we do not have a data-sharing or joint customer support process or arrangement. The terms of the arrangements under which we have access to data managed by health plans and other third parties vary, which can impact the offering we are able to deliver. Many of our arrangements with health plans and third parties have terms that limit our access to and permitted uses of claims or pricing data to the data associated with our mutual customers. Also, some agreements, processes, or arrangements may be terminated if the underlying customer contracts do not continue, or may otherwise be subject to termination or non-renewal in whole or in part. In addition, in order to deliver current and potential future functionality of our full health navigation platform, including third-party integrated services, we need access to other resources and services that are largely or fully controlled by third-party integration partners. While we have developed and expect to continue to develop relationships with third parties in order to allow us and our customers to access these resources and services, we are exposed to the risk that third parties may limit or eliminate our access, which would hinder our ability to provide certain integrated health navigation functionality to our customers and harm our business. The health plans and other third parties that we currently work with may, in the future, change their position and limit or eliminate our access to data and resources, increase the costs for access, provide data and resources to us in more limited or less useful formats, or restrict our permitted uses of data and resources. Furthermore, some health plans and third parties that we rely on to supply data and resources have developed or are developing their own proprietary products and services that may compete with aspects of our platform, and so may perceive continued cooperation with us as a competitive disadvantage and choose to limit or discontinue our access to these data and resources. Failure to continue to maintain and expand our access to suitable pricing and other data and resources may adversely impact our ability to continue to serve existing customers and expand our offering to new customers. If our access to the data and resources necessary to deliver health navigation functionality is eliminated, reduced or becomes more costly to us, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results would suffer. 19 Table of Contents A significant portion of our revenue comes from a limited number of customers, the loss of which would adversely affect our financial results. Historically, we have relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018 , our top 10 customers by revenue accounted for approximately 31% of our total revenue. In calculating our top 10 customers by revenue, we include only direct customers, not channel partners. In addition, one of our channel partners accounted for approximately 11% of total revenue f or the year ended December 31, 2018 . We rely on our reputation and recommendations from key customers in order to promote our offering to potential customers. The loss of any of our key customers, or a failure of some of them to renew or expand user subscriptions, could have a significant impact on the growth rate of our revenue, reputation and our ability to obtain new customers. For example, during the third quarter of 2018, one of our largest customers adopted a new benefits strategy and did not renew its agreement with us, and that agreement expired on December 31, 2018. In addition, mergers and acquisitions involving our customers could lead to cancellation or non-renewal of our agreements with those customers or by the acquiring or combining companies, thereby reducing the number of our existing and potential customers. Because we generally bill our customers and recognize revenue over the term of the contract, near term declines in new or renewed agreements may not be reflected immediately in our operating results and may be difficult to discern. Most of our revenue in each quarter is derived from agreements entered into with our customers during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed agreements in any one quarter may not be fully reflected in our revenue for that quarter. Such declines, however, would negatively affect our revenue in future periods and the effect of significant downturns in sales of and market demand for our offering, and potential changes in our rate of renewals or renewal terms, may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. Accordingly, management measures sales performance and forecasts future subscription revenue based on signed annual recurring revenue, or ARR. ARR is a forward-looking metric based on contractual terms in existence as of the end of a reporting period and is subject to change resulting from a number of factors including, but not limited to, addition of new customers, changes in user counts, terminations or non-renewals, as well as upsells and cross-sells. For all of these reasons, the amount of subscription revenue we actually recognize may be different from ARR at the end of a period in which it was recorded. In addition, we may be unable to adjust our cost structure rapidly, or at all, to take account of reduced revenue. Our subscription model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our total revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new customers must be recognized over the applicable term of the agreement. Accordingly, the effect of changes in the industry impacting our business or changes we experience in our new sales may not be reflected in our short-term results of operations. Our sales and implementation cycle can be long and unpredictable and require considerable time and expense, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate. The sales cycle for our health benefits platform, from initial contact with a potential lead to contract execution and implementation, varies widely by customer, ranging from three to 24 months. Some of our customers undertake a significant and prolonged evaluation process, including whether our offering meets a customer’s unique benefits program needs, that frequently involves not only the review of our offering but also of our competitors, which has in the past resulted in extended sales cycles. Our sales efforts involve educating our customers about the use, technical capabilities and benefits of our offering. Moreover, our large enterprise customers often begin to deploy our service on a limited basis, but nevertheless demand extensive configuration, integration services and pricing concessions, which increase our upfront investment in the sales effort with no guarantee that these customers will deploy our offering widely enough across their organization to justify our substantial upfront investment. It is possible that in the future we may experience even longer sales cycles, more complex customer needs, higher upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing some of our sales. In addition, even after contracts are signed, our implementation timelines can delay recognition of related revenue for several periods. If our sales cycle lengthens or our substantial upfront sales and implementation investments do not result in sufficient sales or revenue to justify our investments, our operating results may be harmed. 20 Table of Contents The health care industry is heavily regulated. Our failure to comply with regulatory requirements could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity and otherwise negatively affect our business. The health care and wellness industries are heavily regulated and constantly evolving due to the changing political, legislative and regulatory landscape and other factors. Many health care and wellness laws are complex, and their application to specific services and relationships may not be clear. Further, some health care laws differ from state to state and it is difficult to ensure our business complies with evolving laws in all states. Our operations may be adversely affected by enforcement initiatives. By offering partner applications we may become subject to additional regulations that don’t ordinarily apply to our own core business. Our failure to accurately anticipate the application of these laws and regulations to our business, or any other failure to comply with regulatory requirements, could create liability for us, result in adverse publicity and negatively affect our business. For example, failure to comply with these requirements could result in the unwillingness of current and potential customers to work with us. Federal and state legislatures and agencies periodically consider proposals to revise aspects of the legal rules applicable to the health care industry, or to revise or create additional statutory and regulatory requirements. Such proposals, if implemented, could impact our operations, the use of our offering and our ability to market new products and services, or could create unexpected liabilities for us. We cannot predict what changes to laws or regulations might be made in the future or how those changes could affect our business or our operating costs. If we fail to comply with applicable health information privacy and security laws and other applicable state, federal and international privacy and security laws, we may be subject to significant liabilities, reputational harm and other negative consequences, including decreasing the willingness of current and potential customers to work with us. We are subject to data privacy and security regulation within the jurisdictions where our users reside; these regulations address matters central to our business, including privacy and data protection, personal information, content, data security, data retention and deletion, and user communications. For example, we are subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (collectively “HIPAA”), which established uniform federal standards for certain “covered entities,” which include health care providers and health plans, governing the conduct of specified electronic health care transactions and protecting the security and privacy of protected health information (“PHI”). The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”) which became effective on February 17, 2010, makes HIPAA’s privacy and security standards directly applicable to “business associates,” which are independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI in connection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against covered entities, business associates and other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce HIPAA’s requirements and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. A portion of the data that we obtain and handle for or on behalf of our customers is considered PHI, subject to HIPAA as well as other regulations. Under HIPAA and our contractual agreements with our HIPAA covered entity health plan customers, we are considered a “business associate” to those customers, and are required to maintain the privacy and security of PHI in accordance with HIPAA and the terms of our business associate agreements with customers, including by implementing HIPAA-required administrative, technical and physical safeguards. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs to establish and maintain these safeguards and, if additional safeguards are required to comply with HIPAA regulations or our customers’ requirements, our costs could increase further, which would negatively affect our operating results. Furthermore, if we fail to maintain adequate safeguards, or we or our agents and subcontractors use or disclose PHI in a manner prohibited or not permitted by HIPAA or our business associate agreements with our customers, or if the privacy or security of PHI that we obtain and handle is otherwise compromised, we could be subject to significant liabilities and consequences, including, without limitation: • • • • breach of our contractual obligations to customers, which may cause our customers to terminate their relationship with us and may result in potentially significant financial obligations to our customers; investigation by regulatory authorities empowered to enforce HIPAA and other applicable regulations, including but not limited to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state attorneys general, and the possible imposition of civil penalties; private litigation by individuals adversely affected by any violation of HIPAA, HITECH or comparable laws for which we are responsible; and negative publicity, which may decrease the willingness of current and potential future customers to work with us and negatively affect our sales and operating results. 21 Table of Contents In addition, we are subject to various state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which recently was enacted by California, where our corporate headquarters is located. The CCPA will, among other things, require covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers, and afford such consumers new abilities to opt-out of certain sales of personal information, when it goes into effect on January 1, 2020. Legislators have stated that they intend to propose amendments to the CCPA before it goes into effect, and it remains unclear what, if any, modifications will be made to this legislation or how it will be interpreted. We cannot yet predict the impact of the CCPA on our business or operations, but it may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply. We also have ongoing compliance obligations with respect to applicable portions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), which became effective on May 25, 2018, which we have to comply with to the extent we have applicable users in the European Union, and we cannot assure you that our compliance efforts will be effective. The introduction of new products or expansion of our activities may subject us to additional laws and regulations. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs to establish and maintain compliance with new regulations that may apply to us, which would negatively affect our operating results. Further, we publish statements to end users of our services that describe how we handle and protect personal information. If federal or state regulatory authorities or private litigants consider any portion of these statements to be untrue, we may be subject to claims of deceptive practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences, including, without limitation, costs of responding to investigations, defending against litigation, settling claims and complying with regulatory or court orders. We also send SMS text messages to potential end users who are eligible to use our service through certain customers and partners. While we get consent from or on behalf of these individuals to send text messages, federal or state regulatory authorities or private litigants may claim that the notices and disclosures we provide, form of consents we obtain or our SMS texting practices are not adequate. These SMS texting campaigns are potential sources of risk for class action lawsuits and liability for our company. Numerous class-action suits under federal and state laws have been filed in recent years against companies who conduct SMS texting programs. Many of those suits have resulted in multi-million dollar settlements to the plaintiffs. Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties. In order to grow our business, we anticipate that we will continue to depend on our relationships with third parties, including Anthem, Inc. We have continued to expand our ongoing relationship with Anthem, including Anthem’s offering of Engage, a Castlight-powered health navigation platform, and our development and support of the base technology underlying Anthem’s core care guidance offering. Apart from channel partners and data partners, our offering also includes the integration of products supplied by strategic partners, who offer complementary products and services. We rely on these strategic partners in the timely and successful deployment of our offering to our customers. If the products provided by these partners have defects or do not operate as expected, if the services provided by these partners are not completed in a timely manner, if our partners have organizational or supply issues, or if we do not effectively integrate and support products supplied by these strategic partners, then we may have difficulty with the deployment of our offering that may result in loss of, or delay in, revenues, increased service and support costs and a diversion of development resources. We also may compete in some areas with these same partners. If these strategic partners fail to perform or choose not to cooperate with us on certain projects, in addition to the effects described above, we could experience loss of customers and market share; and failure to attract new customers or achieve market acceptance for our products. Identifying partners, negotiating and documenting relationships and building integrations with them, requires significant time and resources. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with Anthem, or other third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results may suffer. Even if we are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in increased customer use of our platform or increased revenue. Shifts in health care benefits trends, including any potential decline in the number of self-insured employers, or the emergence of new technologies may render our offering obsolete or require us to expend significant resources in order to remain competitive. The U.S. health care industry is extensive and complex, with a number of large market participants with conflicting agendas, is subject to significant government regulation and is currently undergoing significant change. Changes in our 22 Table of Contents industry, for example, towards private health care exchanges or away from high deductible health plans, or the emergence of new technologies as more competitors enter our market, could result in our offering being less desirable or relevant. For example, we currently derive the vast majority of our revenue from customers that are self-insured employers. The demand for significant portions of our offering depends on the need of self-insured employers to manage the costs of health care services that they pay on behalf of their employees. While the percentage of employers who are self-insured has been increasing over the past decade, there is no assurance that this trend will continue. Various factors, including changes in the health care insurance market or in government regulation of the health care industry, could cause the percentage of self-insured employers to decline, which would adversely affect the market for our offering and would negatively affect our business and operating results. Furthermore, such trends and our business could be affected by changes in health care spending resulting from changes in the law like we saw with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”). Under the ACA, the federal government and several state governments established public exchanges in which consumers can purchase health insurance. In the event that the ACA, any amendment or repeal of the ACA, or other changes to the legal landscape causes our customers to change their health care benefits plans or move to use of exchanges such that it reduces the need for our offering, or if the number of self-insured employers otherwise declines, we would be forced to compete on additional product and service attributes or to expend significant resources in order to alter our offering to remain competitive. If health care benefits trends shift or entirely new technologies, services or programs are developed that replace or disrupt existing offerings, our existing or future offerings could be rendered obsolete and our business could be adversely affected. In addition, we may experience difficulties with software development, industry standards, design or marketing that could delay or prevent our development, introduction or implementation of new products and enhancements. We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception and we intend to continue to make significant investments to support our business growth, respond to business challenges or opportunities, develop new products and services, enhance our existing offering and services, enhance our operating infrastructure and potentially acquire complementary businesses and technologies. For the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , our net cash used in operating activities was $18.6 million and $23.5 million , respectively. Our future capital requirements may be significantly different from our current estimates and will depend on many factors including our growth rate, new customer acquisitions, subscription renewal activity, operation and integration of the Jiff and Castlight functionalities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced services offerings and the continuing market acceptance of our cloud-based subscription services. Accordingly, we might need to engage in equity or debt financings or collaborative arrangements to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our Class B common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which might make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We might have to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or offering that we otherwise would not relinquish. In addition, it may be difficult to obtain financing in the public markets or to obtain debt financing, and we might not be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. We depend on data centers operated by third parties for our offering, and any disruption in the operation of these facilities could adversely affect our business. We provide our Castlight health navigation platform through computer hardware that is currently located in two geographically-dispersed third-party data centers in the U.S., each of which are operated by the same IT hosting company. Our Wellbeing services are hosted on Amazon Web Services hardware through virtual private clouds. While we control and have access to our owned servers and all of the components of our network that are located in these external data centers, we do not control the operation of these facilities and there could be performance or availability issues outside our control. The owners of our data centers and hosting services have no obligation to renew the agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew these types of agreements on commercially reasonable terms, or if our data center operators and 23 Table of Contents hosting services are acquired or cease operations, we may be required to transfer our servers and other infrastructure to new data center facilities or hosting services, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so. Problems faced by our third-party data center and hosting locations could adversely affect the experience of our customers. The operators of the data centers and hosting services could decide to close the facilities or change and suspend their service offerings without adequate notice. In addition, any financial difficulties, such as bankruptcy, faced by the operators of the data centers or any of the service providers with whom we or they contract may have negative effects on our business, the nature and extent of which are difficult to predict. Additionally, if our data centers and hosting facilities are unable to keep up with our growing needs for capacity, this could have an adverse effect on our business. For example, a rapid expansion of our business could affect the service levels at our data centers and hosting locations or cause such data centers and systems to fail. Any changes in third-party service levels at our data centers and hosting locations or any disruptions or other performance problems with our product offering could adversely affect our reputation and may damage our customers’ stored files or result in lengthy interruptions in our services. Interruptions in our services might reduce our revenue, increase our costs associated with remediation or cause us to issue refunds to customers for prepaid and unused subscriptions, subject us to potential liability or adversely affect our renewal rates. The information that we provide to our customers, and their employees and families, could be inaccurate or incomplete, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. We provide price, quality and other health care-related information for use by our customers, and their employees and families, to search and compare options for health care services. Third-party health plans and our customers provide us with most of these data. Because data in the health care industry is fragmented in origin, inconsistent in format and often incomplete, the overall quality of data in the health care industry is poor, and we frequently discover data issues and errors. If the data that we provide to our customers are incorrect or incomplete or if we make mistakes in the capture or input of these data, our reputation may suffer and our ability to attract and retain customers may be harmed. In addition, a court or government agency may take the position that our storage and display of health information exposes us to personal injury liability or other liability for wrongful delivery or handling of health care services or erroneous health information. While we maintain insurance coverage, this coverage may prove to be inadequate or could cease to be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. Even unsuccessful claims could result in substantial costs, harm to our reputation and diversion of management resources. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or under-insured could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we cannot maintain our corporate culture as we grow, we could lose the elements of our culture that we believe contribute to our success and our business may be harmed. We believe that a critical asset for our business, and a source of our competitive strength, is our unique company culture, which we believe fosters a high level of cross-functional collaboration and desire for excellence in our performance and product. As we grow and change, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our corporate culture. The continued integration of the Jiff and Castlight functionalities, or the business and personnel of any acquisitions we may make in the future, may present additional challenges to our ability to maintain our corporate culture. Any failure to preserve our culture could also negatively affect our ability to attract and retain personnel, our reputation and our ability to continue to build and advance our offering and may otherwise adversely affect our future success. If we fail to develop widespread brand awareness cost-effectively, our business may suffer. We believe that developing and maintaining widespread awareness of our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread adoption of our offering and attracting new customers. Brand promotion activities may not generate customer awareness or increase revenue, and even if they do, any increase in revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or incur substantial expenses, we may fail to attract or retain customers necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, or to achieve the widespread brand awareness that is critical for broad customer adoption of our offering. 24 Table of Contents Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand. Our success depends in part on our ability to enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We rely upon a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as license and access agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. In addition, we attempt to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information by requiring certain of our employees, consultants and contractors to enter into confidentiality, noncompetition and assignment of inventions agreements. These laws, procedures and restrictions provide only limited protection and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated. While we have three U.S. patent applications pending, and we currently have one issued U.S. patent, we cannot ensure that any of our pending patent applications will be granted or that our issued patent will adequately protect our intellectual property. In addition, if any patents are issued in the future, they may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be successfully challenged by third parties. To the extent that our intellectual property and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected, third parties might gain access to our proprietary information, develop and market solutions similar to ours, or use trademarks similar to ours, each of which could materially harm our business. Further, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or obtain and use our technology to develop products with the same functionality as our offering, and policing unauthorized use of our technology and intellectual property rights is difficult and may not be effective. The failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could materially harm our business. We could incur substantial costs as a result of any claim of infringement of another party’s intellectual property rights. In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. Companies in the Internet and technology industries are increasingly bringing and becoming subject to suits alleging infringement of proprietary rights, particularly patent rights, and our competitors and other third parties may hold patents or have pending patent applications, which could be related to our business. These risks have been amplified by the increase in third parties, which we refer to as non-practicing entities, whose sole or primary business is to assert such claims. We expect that we may receive in the future notices that claim we or our customers using our offering have misappropriated or misused other parties’ intellectual property rights, particularly as the number of competitors in our market grows and the functionality of products amongst competitors overlaps. If we are sued by a third party that claims that our technology infringes its rights, the litigation, whether or not successful, could be extremely costly to defend, divert our management’s time, attention and resources, damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business. We do not currently have an extensive patent portfolio of our own, which may limit the defenses available to us in any such litigation. In addition, in most instances, we have agreed to indemnify our customers against certain third-party claims, which may include claims that our offering infringes the intellectual property rights of such third parties. Our business could be adversely affected by any significant disputes between us and our customers as to the applicability or scope of our indemnification obligations to them. The results of any intellectual property litigation to which we might become a party, or for which we are required to provide indemnification, may require us to do one or more of the following: • cease offering or using technologies that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; • make substantial payments for legal fees, settlement payments or other costs or damages; • • obtain a license, which may not be available on reasonable terms, to sell or use the relevant technology; or incur substantial costs and reallocate resources to redesign our technology to avoid infringement. If we are required to make substantial payments or undertake any of the other actions noted above as a result of any intellectual property infringement claims against us or any obligation to indemnify our customers for such claims, such payments or costs could have a material adverse effect upon our business and financial results. Our use of open source technology could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our software platform. Our offering incorporates open source software components that are licensed to us under various public domain licenses. Some open source software licenses require users who distribute open source software as part of their software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software or make available any derivative works of the open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. There is little or no legal precedent governing the interpretation of many of the terms of these licenses and therefore the potential impact of such terms on our business is somewhat unknown. There is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to market our software platform. While we monitor our use of open source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open source agreement, such use could 25 Table of Contents inadvertently occur and we may be required to release our proprietary source code, pay damages for breach of contract, re-engineer our offering, discontinue sales of our offering in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis or take other remedial action that may divert resources away from our development efforts, any of which could cause us to breach customer contracts, harm our reputation, result in customer losses or claims, increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our business and operating results. We may face risks related to securities litigation that could result in significant legal expenses and settlement or damage awards. We have been in the past and may in the future become subject to claims and litigation alleging violations of the securities laws or other related claims, which could harm our business and require us to incur significant costs. For example, during the second quarter of 2015, four purported securities class action lawsuits, which were later consolidated into a single action, were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, against us, certain of our current and former directors, executive officers, significant stockholders and underwriters associated with our initial public offering. On October 28, 2016, the Court approved a mediated cash settlement of an aggregate amount of $9.5 million. As a result of the settlement, we recorded a net charge of $2.9 million to general and administrative expense in 2016. This amount represents the portion of settlement that was not covered by insurance and legal fees incurred in 2016 regarding this matter. Future litigation may require significant attention from management and could result in significant legal expenses, settlement costs or damage awards that could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The development and expansion of our business through acquisitions of other companies or technologies or other strategic transactions could divert our management’s attention, result in dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and adversely affect our operating results. On April 3, 2017, we completed our acquisition of Jiff, and issued approximately 27 million shares and options to former Jiff equity holders, representing approximately 20% of the combined company on a fully-diluted basis. The process of integrating the Jiff business, team and technology has created, and could continue to create, unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditure requirements. We may not be able to effectively manage the combined Castlight and Jiff business or effectively integrate the personnel, operations and technologies of Jiff or any other company we may acquire in the future. As we have done in the past, we may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, products and services or technologies or enter into other strategic transactions that we believe could complement or expand our offering, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. We have limited experience in acquiring other businesses and entering into strategic transactions. We may not achieve any of the anticipated benefits of any of these strategic transactions. The pursuit of potential acquisitions and other strategic transactions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions and strategic alliances or transactions, whether or not they are consummated. We may not achieve any of the anticipated benefits or stated objectives from these or other strategic transactions we may enter into in the future. Factors affecting our ability to achieve the benefits of the Jiff acquisition, other acquisitions or other strategic alliances could include: • • • • • • • inability to integrate or benefit from acquired technologies or services or strategic collaborations or alliances in an efficient, effective or profitable manner; unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition or strategic transaction; challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other benefits expected from such transactions; the lack of unilateral control over a strategic alliance and the risk that strategic partners have business goals and interests that are not aligned with ours; delays, difficulties or unexpected costs in the integration, assimilation, implementation or modification of platforms, systems, functions, technologies and infrastructure to support the combined business or strategic alliance, as well as maintaining and integrating accounting systems and operations, uniform standards, controls (including internal accounting controls), procedures and policies; difficulty converting the customers of the acquired business onto our platform and contract terms, including disparities in the revenue, licensing, support or professional services model of the acquired company; diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; 26 Table of Contents • • • • • adverse effects to our existing business relationships with business partners and customers as a result of the acquisition or strategic transaction; the potential loss of key employees; the risk that we do not realize a satisfactory return on our investments; diversion of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition or strategic transaction. In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of Jiff, and other companies we acquire or invest in, may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could adversely affect our results of operations. The acquisition of Jiff resulted, and other acquisitions and strategic transactions could also result, in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if an acquired business or other strategic transaction fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial position may suffer. If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Class B common stock may be negatively affected. As a public company, we are required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and, provide a management report on the internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to audit the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until we cease to be an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, on December 31, 2019. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating. If we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We are in the process of designing and implementing the internal control over financial reporting required to comply with this obligation, which process will be time consuming, costly and complicated. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm concludes we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our Class B common stock could be negatively affected and we could become subject to investigations by the New York Stock Exchange, on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require us to obtain additional financial and management resources. Changes in accounting principles may cause previously unanticipated fluctuations in our financial results, and the implementation of such changes may impact our ability to meet our financial reporting obligations. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP which are subject to interpretation or changes by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, the SEC, and other various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. New accounting pronouncements and changes in accounting principles have occurred in the past and are expected to occur in the future which may have a significant effect on our financial results. For example, effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We adopted the requirements of the new standard utilizing the full retrospective method, which required us to recast prior reporting periods. While the adoption of the new standard did not change the cash flows we receive from our contracts with customers, the changes to our reporting practices and the fluctuations in our reported revenue could cause a decline and/or fluctuations in the price of our common stock. The adoption of ASC 606 significantly impacted our costs to fulfill as well as our costs to obtain contracts with customers. For fulfillment costs, the new standard states that an entity shall recognize an asset from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract if certain criteria are met. Similar to fulfillment costs, for costs to obtain a contract (which are primarily sales commissions and broker fees), the standard states that costs to obtain a contract shall be amortized on a systematic basis that is 27 Table of Contents consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. Prior to adoption, we expensed costs to fulfill a contract when they were incurred, capitalized certain sales commissions and amortized those costs over the non-cancelable portion of our subscription contracts. Under the new standard, the amortization period for our costs to obtain a contract could be longer. Additionally, the timing of revenue recognition for certain of our revenue arrangements was impacted by the changes imposed by the new standard. Any difficulties in implementation of changes in accounting standards, including the ability to modify our accounting systems, could cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations, which could result in regulatory discipline and harm investors’ confidence in us. We incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of operating as a public company. As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. For example, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and are required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls, changes in corporate governance practices and required filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. Compliance with these requirements increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some activities more time consuming and costly. In addition, our management and other personnel divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. In particular, we incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will increase when we are no longer an emerging growth company, as defined by the JOBS Act. Operating as a public company makes it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and in the future we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. This could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers. We are classified as an emerging growth company, and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our Class B common stock less attractive to investors. We are an emerging growth company, as defined under the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies including, but not limited to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our Class B common stock less attractive because we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class B common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class B common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the end of the year in which the market value of our Class B common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of June 30, (ii) the end of the year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1 billion or more during such year, (iii) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period or (iv) December 31, 2019. We may not be able to utilize a significant portion of our net operating loss or research tax credit carryforwards, which could adversely affect our profitability. Our primary tax jurisdiction is the United States. All of our tax years are open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. We have provided a full valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the future realization of such assets. Therefore, no benefit has been recognized for the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. The net operating loss could expire unused and be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities, which could adversely affect our profitability. Economic uncertainties or downturns in the general economy or the industries in which our customers operate could disproportionately affect the demand for our offering and negatively impact our results of operations. 28 Table of Contents General worldwide economic conditions have experienced periods of significant downturn, and market volatility and uncertainty remain widespread, making it extremely difficult for our customers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. For example, in June 2016, the decision by referendum to withdraw the United Kingdom (U.K.) from the European Union caused significant volatility in global stock markets, including those in the U.S., and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The results of this referendum, or other global events, may continue to create global economic uncertainty not only in the U.K., but in other regions, including where we do business. In addition, these conditions could cause our customers or prospective customers to decrease headcount, benefits or human resources budgets, which could decrease corporate spending on our products and services, resulting in delayed and lengthened sales cycles, a decrease in new customer acquisition and loss of customers. Furthermore, during challenging economic times, our customers may have difficulty gaining timely access to sufficient credit or obtaining credit on reasonable terms, which could impair their ability to make timely payments to us and adversely affect our revenue. If that were to occur, our financial results could be harmed. Further, challenging economic conditions might impair the ability of our customers to pay for the products and services they already have purchased from us and, as a result, our write-offs of accounts receivable could increase. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown or recovery. If the condition of the general economy or markets in which we operate worsens, our business could be harmed. Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. Our estimates and forecasts relating to the size and expected growth of the market for our products and services may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the market in which we compete meets our size estimates and forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Natural or man-made disasters and other similar events may significantly disrupt our business and negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. Our offices may be harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man-made disasters, including earthquakes, power outages, fires, floods, nuclear disasters and acts of terrorism or other criminal activities, which may render it difficult or impossible for us to operate our business for some period of time. For example, our headquarters is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for seismic activity. Any disruptions in our operations related to the repair or replacement of our office could negatively impact our business and results of operations and harm our reputation. In addition, we may not carry business insurance sufficient to compensate for losses that may occur. Any such losses or damages could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the facilities of significant customers, health plans or major strategic partners may be harmed or rendered inoperable by such natural or man-made disasters, which may cause disruptions, difficulties or material adverse effects on our business. Risks Related to Our Class B Common Stock The stock price of our Class B common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance. The market price of our Class B common stock has fluctuated significantly since our initial public offering and may continue to fluctuate. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our Class B common stock. Factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause additional fluctuations in the market price of our Class B common stock include the following: • • • • • • • overall performance of the equity markets; our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies; changes in the estimates of our operating results that we provide to the public or our failure to meet these projections; failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts who follow our company or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors or changes in recommendations by securities analysts that elect to follow our Class B common stock; sales of shares of our Class B common stock by us or our stockholders, including same day sales to cover tax withholdings as a result of settlement of restricted stock units; announcements of technological innovations, new products or enhancements to services, acquisitions, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors; disruptions in our services due to computer hardware, software or network problems; 29 Table of Contents • • • • • • • announcements of customer additions and customer cancellations or delays in customer purchases; recruitment or departure of key personnel; the economy as a whole, market conditions in our industry and the industries of our customers; litigation involving us, our industry or both, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors; developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights; new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business; and the size of our market float. In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. Stock prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in new securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business and adversely affect our business. If there are substantial sales of shares of our Class B common stock, the price of our Class B common stock could decline. The price of our Class B common stock could decline if there are substantial sales of our Class B common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of our Class B common stock intend to sell their shares, and may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell Class B common stock at a time and price that they deem appropriate. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Class B common stock. In addition, certain of our stockholders have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares and to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or our stockholders. Registration of the resale of these shares under the Securities Act would generally result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction. Any sales of securities by existing stockholders could adversely affect the trading price of our Class B common stock. We also registered shares of Class B common stock that we have issued and may issue under our employee equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans. These shares may be sold freely in the public market upon issuance. The dual class structure of our Class A and Class B common stock will have the effect of concentrating significant voting influence or control with our executive officers, directors and their affiliates; this will limit or preclude a stockholder's ability to influence corporate matters. Each share of Class A common stock and each share of Class B common stock has one vote per share, except on the following matters (in which each share of Class A common stock has ten votes per share and each share of Class B common stock has one vote per share): • • • • adoption of a merger or consolidation agreement involving our company; a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of our property and assets; a dissolution or liquidation of our company; or every matter, if and when any individual, entity or “group” (as such term is used in Regulation 13D of the Exchange Act) has, or has publicly disclosed (through a press release or a filing with the SEC) an intent to have, beneficial ownership of 30% or more of the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, combined. Because of our dual class common stock structure, the holders of our Class A common stock, who in large part consist of our founders, early investors, directors, executives, employees, will continue to be able to exert significant influence over the corporate matters listed above if any such matter is submitted to our stockholders for approval even if they own less than 50% of the outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock, combined. As of December 31, 2018 , holders of our Class A common stock owned approximately 26% of the outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock, combined, however, holders of our Class A common stock, including our executive officers and directors and their affiliates, have approximately 78% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock with respect to the matters specified above. This concentrated control by holders of our Class A common stock will limit or preclude the ability of a holder of our Class B common stock to influence those corporate matters for the foreseeable future and, as a result, we may take actions that our 30 Table of Contents stockholders do not view as beneficial. The market price of our Class B common stock could be adversely affected by the structure. In addition, this may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for capital stock that a stockholder may feel are in its best interests. Transfers by holders of our Class A common stock will generally result in those shares converting to our Class B common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for estate planning purposes. The conversion of our Class A common stock to our Class B common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class A common stock who retain their shares in the long term. If, for example, directors and their affiliates retain a significant portion of their holdings of our Class A common stock for an extended period of time, they could continue to significantly influence the combined voting power of our Class A and Class B common stock with respect to each of the matters identified in the list above. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline. The trading market for our Class B common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our Class B common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our Class B common stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Class B common stock could decrease, which might cause our Class B common stock price and trading volume to decline. Anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law and in our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws could make a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove members of our board of directors or current management and depress the trading price of our Class B common stock. Our status as a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company or changes in our board of directors or management more difficult, including the following: • • • • • • • • Our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms and directors are only able to be removed from office for cause, which may delay the replacement of a majority of our board of directors or impede an acquirer from rapidly replacing our existing directors with its own slate of directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, only our board of directors has the right to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors. Our stockholders may not act by written consent or call special stockholders’ meetings; as a result, a holder, or holders, controlling a majority of our Class A and Class B common stock are not be able to take certain actions other than at annual stockholders’ meetings or special stockholders’ meetings, which special meetings may only be called by the chairman of our board, our chief executive officer, our president, or a majority of our board of directors. Certain litigation against us can only be brought in Delaware. Our restated certificate of incorporation authorizes undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued, by our board of directors without the approval of the holders of Class B common stock, which makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. Advance notice procedures and additional disclosure requirements apply for stockholders to nominate candidates for election as directors or to bring matters before a meeting of stockholders, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company. Our restated certificate of incorporation prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates. Amendment of the anti-takeover provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation require super majority approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, combined. and 31 Table of Contents • In certain circumstances pertaining to change in control, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and liquidation matters, and on all matters if and when any individual, entity or group has, or has publicly disclosed an intent to have, beneficial ownership of 30% or more of the number of outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock, combined, holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to ten votes per share and holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share. As of December 31, 2018 , holders of our Class A common stock owned approximately 26% and holders of our Class B common stock owned approximately 74% of the outstanding shares of our Class A and Class B common stock, combined. However, because of our dual class common stock structure these holders of our Class A common stock have approximately 78% and holders of our Class B common stock have approximately 22% of the total votes with respect to the matters specified above. In all other circumstances, holders of our Class A and Class B common stock are each entitled to one vote per share, and in these other circumstances the holders of our Class A common stock have approximately 26% and holders of our Class B common stock have approximately 74% of the total votes. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 2. Properties Our corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco, California, where we occupy a facility totaling 31,121 square feet under a lease which expires in 2022. We use these facilities for administration, sales and marketing, research and development, engineering, customer support and professional services. W e also lease office space in Sunnyvale, California totaling 10,553 square feet under a lease that expires in 2025. We use this facility primarily for research and development. We also lease 7,010 square feet of office space in Charlotte, North Carolina for customer support operations. This lease expires in 2020. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate to meet our current needs, and we intend to procure additional space as needed as we add employees and expand our operations. We believe that, if required, suitable additional or substitute space would be available to accommodate any such expansion of our operations. Item 3. Legal Proceedings From time to time, we may become subject to other legal proceedings, claims or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we may receive letters alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in litigation, the impact could be material to our business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations, depending on the specific circumstances of the outcome. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 32 Table of Contents Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities PART II Market Information for Common Stock Our Class B common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CSLT.” Dividend Policy We have never declared or paid dividends on our capital stock. We do not expect to pay dividends on our capital stock for the foreseeable future. Instead, we anticipate that all of our earnings, if any, will be used for the operation and growth of our business. Any future determination to declare cash dividends would be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and would depend upon various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity requirements, restrictions that may be imposed by applicable law and our contracts and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Stockholders As of December 31, 2018 , there were 46 stockholders of record of our Class A common stock (not including beneficial holders of stock held in street name), as well as 76 stockholders of record of our Class B common stock (not including beneficial holders of stock held in street name). Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans The information required by this item will be included in an amendment to this Annual Report on Form 10-K or incorporated by reference from our definitive proxy statement to be filed pursuant to Regulation 14A.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this filing. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this filing, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read the “Risk Factors” section of this filing for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Overview Castlight Health, Inc. (“Castlight”, “the Company” or "we") offers a comprehensive software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) platform that simplifies health benefits navigation for millions of employees. Our platform matches employees to the best resources their employers make available to them - whether they are healthy, actively seeking medical care, or managing a condition - and motivates them to take the best steps for their health. Castlight helps employers generate more value from their benefits investments by helping to improve outcomes, lower health care costs, and increase benefits satisfaction. Castlight’s platform solution supports strong employee engagement and satisfaction through two foundational components: an ecosystem of deep integrations across an employer’s various health and wellbeing partners; and a predictive analytics “engine” that uses claims, demographic and user data and machine learning to personalize clinical options, benefit programs, wellbeing incentives, communications, and educational content, based on each employee’s specific health and wellbeing needs. This unique combination of data integrations and personalization puts Castlight in a position to deliver value to employees and their employers. For employees, our platform improves their health benefits experience, with a highly-engaging, seamless mobile application and web experience, which are coupled with multi-channel communications. In addition, the platform’s rewards feature is designed to incentivize individuals to participate in health programs, optimize their care utilization, and improve their daily habits. For employers, Castlight provides a simplified, cost-effective, and flexible way to manage health benefits: allowing them to procure, deploy, manage, and measure a vast majority of their healthcare and wellbeing program vendors through a single platform. Castlight was incorporated in the State of Delaware in January 2008. Its first generation care guidance solutions addressed the needs of employees actively seeking care or managing a chronic condition and serve as the foundation of our current care guidance offering. In 2015, we launched Castlight Action, our data-driven personalization benefits content and recommendations platform, which has been integrated into all of our products and rebranded as Castlight Genius. In April 2017, we acquired Jiff, Inc. Jiff provided an enterprise health benefits platform that served as a central hub for employee wellbeing and employee benefit programs, and is the foundation for our wellbeing offering. In 2018, Castlight launched two offerings that deliver health care and wellbeing benefits navigation in a single user experience: Engage (January) and Castlight Complete (September). The Company's principal executive offices are located in San Francisco, California. Key Factors Affecting Our Performance Sales of New and Additional Products. Our revenue growth rate and long-term profitability are affected by our ability to sell new and additional products to new and existing customers, directly and through our channel partners. Additionally, we believe that there is a significant opportunity to sell subscriptions to add-on products as our customers become more familiar with our offering and seek to address additional needs. Renewals of Customer Contracts. We believe that our ability to retain our customers and expand their subscription revenue growth over time will be an indicator of the stability of our revenue base and the long-term value of our customer relationships. 36 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Channel Partnerships. We have relationships with channel partners including Anthem, which complement our direct sales capabilities. These relationships allow deeper penetration into our market and enable us to promote our health benefits platform and products to create customer cross-sell opportunities. Ecosystem Partnerships : We have relationships with digital health partners that integrate with our platform to provide a more streamlined experience for our customers and users. We also have many third-party benefit solutions integrated with our products to enable effortless access to these programs to our users. We believe these partnerships enable a single user experience that is essential to drive engagement and increase user satisfaction. Implementation Timelines. Our ability to convert backlog into revenue and improve our gross margin depends on how quickly we complete customer implementations. Our implementation timelines vary from customer to customer based on the source and condition of the data we receive from third parties, the configurations that we agree to provide and the size of the customer. Our implementation timelines for our products are typically three to 12 months after entering into an agreement with a customer. Professional Services Model. We believe our professional services capabilities support the adoption of our subscription offerings. As a result, our sales efforts have been focused primarily on our subscription offering, rather than the profitability of our professional services business. Our professional services are generally priced on a fixed-fee basis and the costs incurred to complete these services, which consist mainly of personnel-related costs, have been greater than the amount charged to the customer. We also do not have standalone value for our implementation services for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we recognize implementation services revenue in the same manner as the associated subscription revenue. Seasonality. We have historically observed seasonality related to employee benefits cycles as a significantly higher proportion of our customers enter into new subscription agreements with us in the second half of the year, compared to the first half of the year. As we continue to leverage our channel relationships and expand our business, there is no assurance this seasonality will continue. The impact from any seasonality in our new customer agreements is not immediately apparent in our revenue because we do not begin recognizing revenue from new customer agreements until we have implemented our offering, based on the implementation timelines discussed above. Revenue recognized in any quarter is primarily from customer agreements entered into in prior quarters. In addition, the mix of customers paying monthly, quarterly, or annually varies from quarter to quarter and impacts our deferred revenue balance. As a result of variability in our billing and implementation timelines, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total value of our customer contracts, nor do changes in deferred revenue serve as a reliable indicator of our future subscription revenue. Key Business Metrics We review a number of operating metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, and make strategic decisions. Signed Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) Signed Annual Recurring Revenue As of December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 $ (in millions) 150.5 $ 163.2 Revenue recognized in any quarter is largely derived from customer agreements signed in prior quarters. Accordingly, management measures sales performance and forecasts future subscription revenue based on signed Annual Recurring Revenue. ARR is a forward-looking metric based on contractual terms in existence as of the applicable ARR measurement date and is subject to change resulting from a number of factors including, but not limited to, addition of new customers, changes in user counts, terminations or non-renewals, renewal terms as well as upsells and cross-sells. As discussed above, we begin recognizing revenue from new customer agreements when we have implemented our offering, which can take from approximately three to 12 months after entering into an agreement with a customer. 37 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ARR represents the annualized value of subscription revenue under contract with customers at the end of a quarter, which we refer to for this purpose as a measurement date. To calculate ARR, we first calculate the annualized subscription value for each signed customer (whether implemented or not), as of the applicable measurement date, by multiplying the monthly contract value of the subscription services under contract by 12. We exclude from this calculation any customers that have provided us with formal notice of termination or non-renewal as of the measurement date. ARR does not take into account the (i) potential for customers to terminate, or decline to renew, their agreements with us, (ii) achievement of non-recurring or yet-to-be-earned performance guarantees, (iii) one-time engagement bonuses included within our customer contracts or (iv) revenues related to professional services, such as implementation and communications services. ARR is not determined in reference to GAAP. Our ARR at December 31, 2018 was $150.5 million , compared to $163.2 million at December 31, 2017 , representing a decrease of approximately 7.8% , primarily attributable to churn, partially offset by new customers and renewals. Annual Net Dollar Retention Rate (“NDR”) Annual Net Dollar Retention Rate Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 82% 104% We assess our performance on customer retention by measuring our Annual Net Dollar Retention Rate. We believe that our ability to retain our customers and expand their subscription revenue growth over time will be an indicator of the stability of our revenue base and the long-term value of our customer relationships. Our NDR provides a measurement of our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expansion of our additional products to existing customers, increases in user count for existing customers and customer renewals, as offset by terminations or pricing changes. The addition or loss of a significant customer or customers during the calendar year can have a significant impact on NDR. We calculate NDR for a given period as the aggregate annualized subscription contract value as of the last day of that year from those customers that were also customers as of the last day of the prior year, divided by the aggregate annualized subscription contract value from all customers as of the last day of the prior year. In calculating NDR, we exclude one-time fees. NDR does not include subscriptions by new customers contracted since the end of the most recently completed year. We observed an annual net dollar retention rate of 82% and 104% for our signed customer base, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The NDR of 82% at the end of 2018 was primarily due to churn, partially offset by upsells and cross-sells. Revenue Components of Results of Operations We generate revenue from subscription fees from customers for access to the products they select, including basic customer service support. We also earn revenue from professional services primarily related to the implementation of our offering, including extensive communications support to drive adoption by our customers’ employees and their dependents, products sold through our online marketplace and add-on subscription products made available from our other ecosystem partners. Our subscription fees are based primarily on the number of employees and adult dependents that employers identify as eligible to use our offering, which typically includes all of our customers’ employees and adult dependents that receive health benefits. Typically, we recognize subscription fees on a straight-line basis ratably over the contract term beginning when our products are implemented and ready for launch. Our customer agreements generally have a term of three years. We generally invoice our customers in advance on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Amounts that have been invoiced are initially recorded as deferred revenue. Amounts that have not been invoiced where revenue has been recognized are reflected as contract assets and recorded as accounts receivable and other in our consolidated financial statements. As a result of variability in our billing terms, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total value of our customer contracts, nor do changes in deferred revenue serve as a reliable indicator of our future subscription revenue in a given period. 38 Table of Contents Costs of Revenue CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Cost of revenue consists of the cost of subscription revenue and cost of professional services revenue. Cost of subscription revenue primarily consists of data fees, employee-related expenses (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation), hosting costs of our cloud-based subscription service, cost of subcontractors, expenses for service delivery (which includes call center support), amortization of internal-use software, depreciation of owned computer equipment and software, amortization of intangibles related to developed technology and backlog, and allocated overhead. Cost of professional services and other revenue consists primarily of employee-related expenses (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation) associated with these services, the cost of subcontractors, deferred and amortized professional services costs, travel costs and allocated overhead. The time and costs of our customer implementations vary based on the source and condition of the data we receive from third parties, the configurations that we agree to provide and the size of the customer. Our cost of subscription revenue is expensed as we incur the costs. The cost of professional services and other revenue, to the extent they are incurred and are directly attributable to fulfillment of performance obligations under a customer contract, are deferred and amortized over the benefit period of five years. Operating Expenses Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses (including salaries, sales commissions and bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation), travel-related expenses, marketing programs, amortization of intangibles related to customer relationships and allocated overhead. All commissions earned by our sales force and third-party referral fees are deferred and amortized generally over a period of five years. Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation), costs associated with subcontractors and allocated overhead. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses (including salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation) for finance and accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems personnel, legal costs, professional fees, other corporate expenses, acquisition-related costs, and allocated overhead. Overhead Allocation. Expenses associated with our facilities and IT costs are allocated between cost of revenues and operating expenses based on employee headcount determined by the nature of work performed. 39 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC.

This overall revenue increase includes an increase of $43.7 million, primarily attributable to customers launched during 2018 and 2017 , including the impact of customers acquired through Jiff. The remaining increase was due to $0.5 million of professional services revenue related to our Anthem business initiatives. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $19.8 million, primarily due to customer terminations. 40 Table of Contents 2017 compared to 2016 CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 , increased $33.3 million , or 34% . This overall revenue increase includes an increase of $45.3 million, primarily attributable to customers launched during 2017 and 2016 , including the impact of customers acquired through Jiff. Jiff, which we acquired on April 3, 2017, accounted for $10.0 million of the $45.3 million increase. The remaining increase was due to $1.6 million of professional services revenue related to our Anthem business initiatives. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $13.6 million, primarily due to customer terminations. Our launched customer base grew more than 12% year over year.

See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a summary of adjustments. 2018 compared to 2017 Cost of subscription revenue increased $6.3 million or 22% , primarily driven by the acquisition of Jiff in the second quarter of 2017. The acquisition drove a $3.1 million increase in employee-related expenses, $1.9 million in third-party service fees, and $0.8 million increase in IT costs. Additionally, amortization of acquired intangibles increased by $0.5 million. Cost of professional services revenue increased $7.3 million or 40% , primarily due to a $4.6 million increase in employee-related costs, arising primarily from headcount growth to support our new customer launches. Additionally, lower deferred professional services costs, due to a focus on customer migration efforts to our integrated platform, and higher amortization resulted in a $2.8 million increase. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased primarily due to revenue growth of 18% compared to a 29% growth in associated costs, due to our investment in professional services and user support teams. 2017 compared to 2016 Cost of subscription revenue increased $11.9 million or 73% , primarily driven by the acquisition of Jiff in the second quarter of 2017. The acquisition drove a $6.1 million increase in employee-related expenses, $2.3 million increase related to the amortization of acquired intangibles, $1.6 million increase in data and hosting services and $1.0 million in third-party service fees, which was a result of the rapid ramp up of our call center directly attributable to a growth in our customer base, increased usage, and internal operational investments. Cost of professional services and other revenue increased $2.8 million or 18% , primarily as a result of lower deferred professional services costs and higher amortization resulted in a $2.0 million increase. Additionally, the use of temporary resources to fulfill our obligations pertaining to customer launches increased by $0.7 million. 41 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased primarily due to revenue growth of 34% compared to a 46% growth in the associated costs. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to the acquisition of Jiff, as the Jiff functionality was in an early stage of launching customers during its rapid growth phase. Sales and Marketing Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 (as adjusted) (1) (as adjusted) (1) 2017 to 2018 % change 2016 to 2017 % change (in thousands, except percentages) Sales and marketing $ 49,134 $ 59,767 $ 58,641 (18)% 2% 2018 compared to 2017 Sales and marketing expense decreased $10.6 million or 18% . Employee-related costs decreased $10.9 million, primarily due to the reduction in force in 2018. These decreases were partially offset by increases in third-party referral fees of $1.8 million. 2017 compared to 2016 Sales and marketing increased $1.1 million or 2% . The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.7 million in employee-related expenses, primarily attributable to the acquisition of Jiff, $1.1 million increase in third party referral fees and a $1.3 million increase related to amortization of acquired intangibles. The increase was partially offset by a $1.9 million reduction in marketing spend as we leveraged our channel relationships.

The acquisition resulted in a $10.8 million increase in employee-related expenses, a $1.1 million increase in facilities expense, a $0.9 million increase in expense related to the use of contractors to assist in our development efforts and a $0.8 million increase in IT infrastructure to support development efforts. General and Administrative Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 2017 to 2018 % change 2016 to 2017 % change (in thousands, except percentages) General and administrative $ 25,620 $ 28,825 $ 26,859 (11)% 7% 42 Table of Contents 2018 compared to 2017 CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General and administrative expense decreased $3.2 million or 11% . This decrease was primarily due to the non-recurrence of $3.0 million of costs incurred in 2017 related to the acquisition of Jiff. 2017 compared to 2016 General and administrative expense increased $2.0 million or 7% , primarily attributable to a $1.9 million increase in employee-related expense due to the acquisition of Jiff in 2017, a $1.8 million increase related to third-party contractor and professional service fees, and $1.6 million increase in acquisition cost incurred in relation to acquisition of Jiff. These increases were partially offset by a $0.7 million change in fair value of contingent consideration and a $2.6 million decrease in litigation expenses related to the settlement of a class action lawsuit recorded in 2016. Income tax benefit The effective tax rate for 2018 , 2017 and 2016 was 0.0% , 9.1% and 0.0% , respectively. As a result of the acquisition of Jiff in April 2017, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $5.2 million as a discrete item in the second quarter of 2017. This tax benefit is a result of the partial release of its existing valuation allowance since the acquired deferred tax liabilities from Jiff will provide a source of income for the Company to realize a portion of its deferred tax assets, for which a valuation allowance is no longer needed. The Company's effective tax rate for 2018 and 2016 was primarily a result of the tax loss for the year and the change in valuation allowance. On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) into law. The new legislation decreased the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Act also includes a number of other provisions including the elimination of loss carrybacks and limitations on the use of future losses and repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax regime. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company had determined the provisional amounts related to the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future. This resulted in a net decrease to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of $51.2 million , with a corresponding offsetting change in valuation allowance of $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2018, we completed our accounting for all of the enactment-date income tax effects of the Act. There were no changes to the provisional amounts as determined as of December 31, 2017. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash used in operating activities Net cash provided by investing activities Net cash provided by financing activities Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 $ $ (in thousands) (18,551) $ (23,457) $ 19,222 4,015 4,686 $ 34,610 1,625 12,778 $ (36,971) 46,622 20,065 29,716 As of December 31, 2018 , our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $77.3 million , which were held for working capital purposes. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are comprised primarily of U.S. agency obligations, U.S. treasury securities and money market funds. Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of equity securities and, to a lesser extent, payments from our customers. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, new customer acquisitions, subscription renewal activity, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced services offerings and the continuing market acceptance of our cloud-based subscription services. Although we currently are not a party to any agreement and do not have any understanding with any third parties with respect to potential investments in, or acquisitions of, businesses or technologies, we may in the future enter into these types of arrangements. 43 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS On April 3, 2017, Castlight, Jiff and Silicon Valley Bank agreed to refinance the existing term loan facility owed by Jiff to the Silicon Valley Bank. The loan agreement provides for an approximately $5.6 million term loan and up to a $25 million revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 10 – Debt to the consolidated financial statements for further information on debt. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected. Operating Activities For the year ended December 31, 2018 , cash used in operating activities was $18.6 million . The negative cash flows resulted primarily from our net loss of $39.7 million , which include $45.5 million in non-cash adjustments. The non-cash adjustments to net loss included stock-based compensation expense of $18.1 million , amortization and write-off of deferred commissions of $13.1 million , depreciation and amortization of $6.9 million , amortization and write-off of deferred professional services fees of $5.3 million and lease exit and related charges of $2.6 million , partially offset by accretion of marketable securities of $0.5 million . Uses of working capital included a decrease in deferred revenue of $9.2 million , a decrease in accrued compensation of $8.0 million , an increase in deferred commissions of $5.7 million , an increase in accounts receivable of $4.9 million driven by 37% increase in billings year over year and the timing of billings and collections and an increase in deferred professional costs of $2.7 million . These uses of cash were partially offset by sources of working capital which included an increase of $5.7 million in accounts payable due to the timing of payments and vendor invoicing. For the year ended December 31, 2017 , cash used in operating activities was $23.5 million . The negative cash flows resulted primarily from our net loss of $51.9 million , which include $38.7 million in non-cash expenses. The non-cash adjustments to net loss included stock-based compensation of $24.0 million , amortization of deferred commissions of $10.0 million , depreciation and amortization of $6.6 million , amortization of deferred professional costs of $4.2 million and expense related to the expiration of the SAP Warrant of $1.1 million , partially offset by the release of the deferred tax valuation allowance of $5.2 million , the gain on the sale of our investment in Lyra Health of $1.4 million and the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability of $0.7 million . See Note 11 - Related Party Transactions and Variable Interest Entity for more information on Lyra Health. Uses of working capital included an increase in deferred commissions of $9.9 million , an increase in deferred professional services costs of $4.2 million , an increase in accounts receivable of $2.8 million driven by 25% increase in billings year over year and the timing of billings and collections, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $1.9 million . These uses of cash were partially offset by sources of working capital which included an increase of $3.5 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities, an increase of $2.7 million in accrued compensation due to higher bonus expense resulting from growth in employee count, and a decrease of $1.6 million in prepaid expenses and other assets primarily due to reimbursement of tenant allowances and security deposits. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , cash used in operating activities was $37.0 million . The negative cash flows resulted primarily from our net loss of $58.7 million , adjusted for $33.6 million in non-cash expenses that primarily included stock-based compensation of $21.3 million , amortization of deferred commissions of $5.9 million , depreciation and amortization of $3.2 million , amortization of deferred professional costs of $2.8 million and amortization on marketable securities of $0.5 million . Working capital uses of cash included a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities, including accrued compensation, of $0.3 million, primarily as a result of payout of annual bonuses to our employees, and an increase in accounts receivable of $2.3 million driven by 26% increase in billings year over year and the timing of billings and collections. Deferred commissions increased by $8.9 million , and deferred professional services costs increased by $4.7 million as we increased our customer base. These uses of working capital were partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $5.0 million , primarily attributable to an increase in the amount billed year over year as a result of increased billings for launched customers. Investing Activities Cash provided by investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 was $19.2 million , $34.6 million , and $46.6 million , respectively. The increase in cash provided was primarily the result of the timing of purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities, the net result of which was $21.2 million , $33.9 million , and $48.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. During 2017, cash provided by investing activities also included cash proceeds of $5.5 million from the sale of our investment in Lyra. These increases were partially offset by purchases of property and equipment, which were $2.0 million , $2.5 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 44 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. We also paid $2.3 million in transaction costs, net of cash acquired, during 2017 to acquire Jiff. See Note 11 – Related Party Transactions and Variable Interest Entity for additional information on the Lyra transactions. Financing Activities For the year ended December 31, 2018 , financing activities provided $4.0 million , primarily from cash proceeds resulting from issuance of stock under our equity incentive plans, partially offset by principal payments on long-term debt. For the year ended December 31, 2017 , financing activities provided $1.6 million , primarily from cash proceeds resulting from issuance of stock under our equity incentive plans. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , financing activities provided $20.1 million , primarily from transactions with SAP Technologies, Inc. and cash proceeds resulting from issuance of stock under our equity incentive plans. See Note 15 – Stockholders' Equity under the caption "Transactions with SAP Technologies, Inc." for additional information. Backlog Backlog is equivalent to our remaining performance obligations and represents our non-cancellable contractual commitments for which service will be performed. Remaining performance obligations are defined as deferred revenue and amount yet to be billed for the non-cancelable portion of contracts. Backlog generally increases with bookings and converts into revenue as performance obligations are fulfilled. The amount of our backlog for subscription and professional services contracts was approximately $156.8 million as of December 31, 2018 and $170.5 million as of December 31, 2017 , respectively. Contractual Obligations and Commitments Our principal commitments primarily consist of debt obligations, lease obligations for office space and obligations for co-location facilities for data center capacity. As of December 31, 2018 , the future non-cancellable minimum payments under these commitments were as follows (in thousands): Long-term debt maturities (1) Interest payments on long-term debt (1) Operating leases for facilities (2) Data center costs (3) Total Total Less Than 1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years More than 5 Years $ $ 5,113 $ 1,859 $ 3,254 $ 314 22,470 1,331 185 6,324 761 129 11,308 570 — $ — 3,727 — 29,228 $ 9,129 $ 15,261 $ 3,727 $ — — 1,111 — 1,111 (1) The above table assumes that our long-term debt is held to maturity, and the interest rate on our debt remains unchanged for the remaining life of the debt from the rate in effect at December 31, 2018 . In addition to principal and interest payments, the Company is also required to pay $0.5 million as final payment on the earlier of maturity, termination or prepayment of the Term Loan. See Note 10 – Debt to our consolidated financial statements for additional information. (2) Operating leases for facilities space represent our principal commitments, which consists of obligations under leases for office space. Minimum payments have not been reduced by sublease rentals of $7.1 million due in the future under a non-cancellable sublease. Excludes certain common area maintenance, insurance and tax payments for which the Company is also obligated. In 2018 , these charges totaled approximately $0.7 million . (3) Data center costs represent costs associated with service agreements for our data centers in the U.S. Our existing lease agreements provide us with the option to renew and generally provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. Our future operating lease obligations would change if we entered into additional operating lease agreements as we expand our operations and if we exercised these options. Contractual obligations represent future cash commitments and liabilities under agreements with third parties and exclude purchase orders for goods and services. Purchase orders are not included in the table above. Our purchase orders represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above. 45 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are therefore not exposed to the financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements, involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Revenue Recognition We derive our revenue primarily from contracts with customers for subscription services and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues do not include sales taxes. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: • • • • • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a 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 Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue recognition commences on the date that our subscription services are made available to the customer, which we consider to be the launch date, and subscription revenue is generally recognized over the contract term. Subscription contracts are generally three years in length and certain contracts include termination provisions. Some of our subscription contracts include performance incentives that are generally based on engagement. Additionally, some of our subscription contracts include audit provisions. We consider fees related to performance incentives and audit provisions to be variable consideration. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of anticipated performance as well as other information available to us. We reassess estimates related to variable consideration each reporting period and records adjustments when appropriate. Professional Services and Other Revenue. Professional services and other revenue is primarily comprised of implementation services and communication services related to our subscription service. Nearly all of our professional services are sold on a fixed-fee basis. We determined that our implementation services are not capable of being distinct. Accordingly, we recognize implementation services revenue in the same manner as the subscription service, beginning on the launch date. We determined our communication services are distinct and the associated revenue is recognized over time from the commencement of the communication services through the end of the contractual term. 46 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Professional services and other revenue also includes revenue from products sold through our online marketplace and add-on subscription services made available from other ecosystem partners. These revenues are recognized on a net basis primarily because we act as an agent in these contracts. Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations. Most of our contracts have multiple performance obligations consisting of subscription services and professional services, including implementation services and communication services. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we evaluate whether the individual performance obligations are distinct. If the performance obligations are distinct, revenue is recognized for the respective performance obligation separately. If one or more of the performance obligations are not distinct, the performance obligations that are not distinct are combined with our subscription service, and revenue for the combined performance obligation is recognized over the term of the subscription service commencing on the launch date. We concluded that our subscription services and our communication services are distinct. Conversely, we concluded that our implementation services are not distinct, primarily because these services are not capable of being distinct as the customer cannot benefit from the implementation services on their own. Accordingly, we consider the separate performance obligations in multiple performance obligation contracts to be communication services and a combined performance obligation comprised of subscription services and implementation services. The transaction price for arrangements with multiple performance obligations is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on their standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on overall pricing objectives taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of the contracts, the subscription services sold, and customer demographics. Contract Balances We record a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. Contract assets are presented within accounts receivable and other, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. A contract liability represents deferred revenue. Deferred revenue consists of professional services and cloud-based subscription services that have been billed in advance of revenue being recognized. We invoice our customers for cloud-based subscription services based on the terms of the contract, which can be annual, quarterly or monthly installments. Deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as non-current. Goodwill We review goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We have elected to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, step 1 of the goodwill impairment test will be performed, in which the fair value of our single reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Any excess of the goodwill carrying amount over the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. As of December 31, 2018 , no impairment of goodwill has been identified. Intangible Assets Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We evaluate the recoverability of our intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. We have not recorded any such impairment charges. 47 Table of Contents Deferred Commissions CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Deferred commissions are the incremental costs that are incurred to obtain contracts with customers and consist primarily of sales commissions paid to our sales force and channel partners. The commissions for initial contracts are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we determined typically to be five years. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the expected life of its subscription contracts, the expected life of the technology underlying its subscription services and other factors. The commissions for renewal contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight- line basis over the related contractual renewal period. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable through our future revenues. Amortization of deferred commissions is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All costs deferred are reviewed for impairment periodically. Deferred Professional Service Costs Deferred professional services costs are the direct costs incurred to fulfill subscription contracts that occur prior to the launch of our subscription services. Professional service costs, which primarily consist of employee related expenses attributable to launch activities, are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we determined typically to be five years for the same reasons as described in the deferred commissions disclosure above. Deferred professional service costs are recoverable through future revenues. Amortization of deferred professional service costs is included in cost of professional services and other revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All costs deferred are reviewed for impairment periodically. Stock-Based Compensation Compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee, consultant and non-employee director stock option awards, is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on fair value. The options assumed and awarded in connection with the acquisition of Jiff were valued using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of each option award, other than the options assumed and awarded in connection with the Jiff acquisition, is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, is recognized using a straight- line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally four years. For restricted stock units, fair value is based on the closing price of our Class B common stock on the grant date. For awards with performance based and service vesting conditions, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied based on the accelerated attribution method. Our option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. Please refer to Note 14 – Stock Compensation to the consolidated financial statements for assumptions used in our option-pricing model. Adoption of New and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Please refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of adoption of new and recently issued accounting pronouncements. 48 Table of Contents Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Interest Rate Sensitivity We had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $77.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and $93.3 million as of December 31, 2017 . This amount was invested primarily in U.S. agency obligations, U.S. treasury securities and money market mutual funds. The cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities are held for working capital purposes. Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. All our investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Our cash equivalents and our portfolio of marketable securities are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because we classify our marketable securities as “available for sale”, no gains or losses are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary. Our fixed-income portfolio is subject to interest rate risk. An immediate increase or decrease of 100-basis points in interest rates would result in an immaterial change in the market value of our investments as of December 31, 2018 . This estimate is based on a sensitivity model that measures market value changes when changes in interest rates occur. Fluctuations in the value of our investment securities caused by a change in interest rates (gains or losses on the carrying value) are recorded in other comprehensive income, and are realized only if we sell the underlying securities. We also have interest rate exposure as a result of our loan agreement, which provides a term loan and revolving credit facility, as described in Note 10 – Debt to the consolidated financial statements. We currently do not hedge this risk. At December 31, 2018 , we had $5.1 million of borrowings outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under the revolver. Borrowings outstanding under the term loan and revolver are subject to variable interest rates based on the prime rate as published in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal. Changes in the prime rate will affect the interest on borrowings under the loan agreement. However, a 50-basis point increase in the interest rate on the term loan would not materially increase interest expense during 2018 . 49 Table of Contents Item 8.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue from contracts with customers as well as for incremental costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers in each period presented, due to the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company's auditor since 2010 San Francisco, California March 1, 2019 51 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 . Organization and Description of Business Description of Business Castlight Health, Inc. (“Castlight” or “the Company”) offers a comprehensive software-as-a-service platform that simplifies health benefits navigation for millions of employees. The Castlight platform matches employees to the best resources their employers make available to them, whether they are healthy, actively seeking medical care, or managing a condition, and motivates them to take the best steps for their health. Castlight helps employers generate more value from their benefits investments by helping to improve outcomes, lower health care costs, and increase benefits satisfaction. On April 3, 2017, the Company expanded into wellbeing through its acquisition of Jiff, Inc. (“Jiff”). Jiff's results of operations have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning April 3, 2017. See Note 5 – Business Combinations for more information on the Jiff acquisition. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in January 2008. The Company's principal executive offices are located in San Francisco, California. Note 2 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the information herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The consolidated financial statements include the results of Castlight and its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using the full retrospective method. As a result, the Company recorded a credit of $32.7 million to Accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2016 to reflect the cumulative effect of the adoption. Amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10-K have been updated to comply with this new standard, as indicated by the "as adjusted" footnote. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to the determination of: • • • • • The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for business combinations; The amortization period for deferred commissions and deferred professional services costs; Variable consideration included in the transaction price of the Company’s contracts with customers; The standalone selling price of the performance obligations in the Company’s contracts with customers; and Assumptions used in the valuation of certain equity awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Segment Information The Company's chief operating decision maker, its CEO, reviews the financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating the Company's financial performance. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in a single reportable segment, cloud- based products. Revenue Recognition Revenues are derived primarily from contracts with customers for subscription services and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues do not include sales taxes. 58 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We determine revenue recognition through the following steps: • • • • • Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a 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 Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue recognition commences on the date that the Company’s subscription services are made available to the customer, which the Company considers to be the launch date, and subscription revenue is generally recognized over the contract term. Subscription contracts are generally three years in length and certain contracts include termination provisions. Some of the Company’s subscription contracts include performance incentives that are generally based on engagement. Additionally, some of the Company’s subscription contracts include audit provisions. The Company considers fees related to performance incentives and audit provisions to be variable consideration. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which it expects to be entitled. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of its anticipated performance as well as other information available to the Company. The Company reassesses its estimates related to variable consideration each reporting period and records adjustments when appropriate. Professional Services and Other Revenue. Professional services and other revenue is primarily comprised of implementation services and communication services related to the Company's subscription service. Nearly all of the Company's professional services are sold on a fixed-fee basis. The Company determined its implementation services are not capable of being distinct. Accordingly, the Company recognizes implementation services revenue in the same manner as the subscription service, beginning on the launch date. The Company determined its communication services are distinct and the associated revenue is recognized over time from the commencement of the communication services through the end of the contractual term. Professional services and other revenue also includes revenue from products sold through the Company’s online marketplace and add-on subscription services made available from other ecosystem partners. These revenues are recognized on a net basis primarily because the Company acts as an agent in these contracts. Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations. Most of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations consisting of subscription services and professional services, including implementation services and communication services. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Company evaluates whether the individual performance obligations are distinct. If the performance obligations are distinct, revenue is recognized for the respective performance obligation separately. If one or more of the performance obligations are not distinct, the performance obligations that are not distinct are combined with the Company's subscription service, and revenue for the combined performance obligation is recognized over the term of the subscription service commencing on the launch date. The Company has concluded that its subscription services and its communication services are distinct. Conversely, the Company has concluded that its implementation services are not distinct, primarily because these services are not capable of being distinct as the customer cannot benefit from the implementation services on their own. Accordingly, the Company considers the separate performance obligations in its multiple performance obligation contracts to be communication services and a combined performance obligation comprised of subscription services and implementation services. The transaction price for arrangements with multiple performance obligations is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on their standalone selling price. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on its overall pricing objectives taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of the contracts, the subscription services sold, and customer demographics. 59 Table of Contents Contract Balances CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. Contract assets are presented within accounts receivable and other in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. A contract liability represents deferred revenue. Deferred revenue consists of professional services and cloud-based subscription services that have been billed in advance of revenue being recognized. The Company invoices its customers for its cloud-based subscription services based on the terms of the contract, which can be annual, quarterly or monthly installments. Deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as non-current. Costs of Revenue Cost of revenue consists of the cost of subscription revenue and cost of professional services and other revenue. Cost of subscription revenue primarily consists of data fees, employee-related expenses (including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation) related to hosting costs of its cloud-based subscription service, cost of subcontractors, expenses for service delivery (which includes call center support), allocated overhead, the costs of data center capacity, amortization of internal-use software and depreciation of certain owned computer equipment and software. Cost of professional services and other revenue consists primarily of employee-related expenses associated with these services, the cost of subcontractors and travel costs. The time and costs of the Company's customer implementations vary based on the source and condition of the data the Company receive from third parties, the configurations that the Company agrees to provide and the size of the customer. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company's cash and cash equivalents generally consist of investments in money market mutual funds, U.S treasury securities and U.S. agency obligations. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. Marketable Securities The Company's marketable securities consist of U.S. agency obligations and U.S. treasury securities, with maturities at the time of purchase of greater than three months. Marketable securities with remaining maturities in excess of one year are classified as non-current. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase based on its intent and are recorded at their estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available- for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. The Company consider impairments to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely it will sell the securities before the recovery of their cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are recorded when invoiced and at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. When accounts receivable are recorded, the related revenue may not commence until a later date depending on the nature of the services invoiced. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's assessment of the collectability of accounts. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering the age of each outstanding invoice and the collection history of each customer to determine whether a specific allowance is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. For all periods presented, the allowance for doubtful accounts was not significant. 60 Table of Contents Deferred Commissions CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Deferred commissions are the incremental costs that are incurred to obtain contracts with customers and consist primarily of sales commissions paid to the Company's sales force and channel partners. The commissions for initial contracts are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that the Company has determined typically to be five years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the expected life of its subscription contracts, the expected life of the technology underlying its subscription services and other factors. The commissions for renewal contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the related contractual renewal period. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable through the Company’s future revenues. Amortization of deferred commissions is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All costs deferred are reviewed for impairment periodically. Deferred Professional Service Costs Deferred professional services costs are the direct costs incurred to fulfill subscription contracts that occur prior to the launch of the Company’s subscription services. Professional service costs, which primarily consist of employee related expenses attributable to launch activities, are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that the Company has determined typically to be five years for the same reasons as described in the deferred commissions disclosure above. Deferred professional service costs are recoverable through future revenues. Amortization of deferred professional service costs is included in cost of professional services and other revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All costs deferred are reviewed for impairment periodically. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective asset as follows (in years): Software Computer equipment Furniture and equipment 3 - - 5 7 3 5 Leasehold improvements Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for the period realized. Internal-Use Software For the Company's development costs related to its cloud-based subscription service, the Company capitalizes costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs related to preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are included as part of property and equipment and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the technology's estimated useful life, which is generally three years. The amortization expense is recorded as a component of cost of subscription revenue and was $0.8 million , $1.0 million , and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , respectively. The Company did not capitalize any software development costs during the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of letters of credit related to the Company's leased office space. Business Acquisitions The Company allocates 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 61 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users and acquired technology, useful lives, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Goodwill The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company has elected to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the qualitative assessment, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, the fair value of the Company's single reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. Any excess of the goodwill carrying amount over the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value. As of December 31, 2018 , no impairment of goodwill has been identified. Intangible Assets Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. The Company has not recorded any such impairment charges. Stock-based Compensation All stock-based compensation to employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations over the period during which the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period of the award). The options assumed and awarded in connection with the acquisition of Jiff were valued using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company estimates the fair value of all other stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. For restricted stock units, fair value is based on the closing price of the Company's Class B common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award using the straight- line method. For awards with performance based and service vesting conditions, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied based on the accelerated attribution method. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and a valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not expected to be realized. The Company recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained in an audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions. The Company evaluates its uncertain tax 62 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS positions on a regular basis. The Company's evaluations are based on a number of factors, including changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audit and effective settlement of audit issues. Warranties and Indemnification The Company's cloud-based subscription service is generally warranted to be performed in a professional manner and in a manner that will comply with the terms of the customer agreements. The Company's arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if there is a breach of a customer’s data or if the Company's service infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the financial statements. The Company has entered into service-level agreements with certain customers warranting, among other things, defined levels of performance and response times and permitting those customers to receive credits for prepaid amounts related to subscription services in the event that the Company fails to meet those levels. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant failures to meet defined levels of performance and response times as a result of those agreements. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by the Company, arising out of that person’s services as its director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at the Company's request. The Company maintains director and officer insurance coverage that would generally enable the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company may also be subject to indemnification obligations by law with respect to the actions of its employees under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions. Advertising Expenses Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $0.3 million , $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Concentrations of Risk and Significant Customers The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company serves its customers and users from outsourced data center facilities located in the United States. The Company has internal procedures to restore all of its production customer facing services in the event of disasters at the certain facilities. Procedures utilizing currently deployed hardware, software and services at certain of the Company's disaster recovery locations allow its cloud-based service to be restored within 24 hours during the implementation of the procedures to restore services. Significant customers are direct customers or channel partners that represent more than 10% of the total revenue for the most recent period presented or more than 10% of accounts receivable balance as of the most recent balance sheet date. No single direct customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 . However, one direct customer accounted for approximately 13% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018 . Castlight had one channel partner that represented approximately 11% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 , and approximately 18% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2018 . 63 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Revenue Recognition In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 606. ASC 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition , and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers , which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract with a customer. The key changes from adopting the new standard are: • • • Prior to the adoption of the new standard, the Company recognized revenue of the combined professional services and subscription deliverable over the contractual term of the subscription contract. For certain contracts, this included periods that were cancelable due to termination provisions. Under the new standard, the Company recognizes revenue for the combined professional services and subscription performance obligation over the non-cancelable term of the arrangement. Additionally, prior to the adoption of the new standard, revenue related to variable fees was deferred until the fees became fixed or determinable. Under the new standard, the Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Prior to the adoption of the new standard, the Company capitalized costs that were both incremental and direct to obtain subscription contracts and amortized those costs over the non-cancelable portion of contracts. Under the new standard, the Company capitalizes all incremental costs to obtain subscription contracts and then amortizes those costs on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which those assets relate, which the Company has determined to be five years for initial subscription contracts or the contractual period for renewal subscription contracts. Prior to the adoption of the new standard, the Company expensed costs to fulfill subscription contracts when they were incurred. Under the new standard, the Company recognizes as assets certain costs incurred to fulfill subscription contracts. Additionally, under the new standard, these costs are amortized on a systematic basis over a period that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which those assets relate, which the Company has determined to be five years.

The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017, using a modified retrospective approach, and accordingly recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment charge of approximately $0.4 million to the beginning accumulated deficit for the impact of electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact to the Statement of Operations or the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company is subject to full valuation allowance and thus has not utilized any excess tax benefits or realized any cash tax benefit related to stock compensation expense. The adoption of this standard did not have any material impact to the Company’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. 65 Table of Contents Financial Instruments CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for its marketable equity securities, which currently consist of money market mutual funds. The Company currently does not have any non-marketable equity securities. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), and subsequent amendments have been issued since then. The guidance will require lessees to put all leases that have a term of more than one year on their balance sheets, whether operating or financing, while continuing to recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The guidance states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company will adopt this ASU beginning January 1, 2019 and has elected to not restate comparative periods and intends to elect certain other available practical expedients upon adoption. The Company is evaluating the full effect the adoption will have on its financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures and is finalizing the accounting, transition and disclosure requirements of the adoption. The Company expects all of its operating leases and contractual obligations, as disclosed in Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies , will be subject to the new standard. The Company expects the primary impact to be the inclusion of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on the consolidated statement of operations, consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity or consolidated statement of cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”) and subsequent amendments have been issued since then. The standard changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The Company will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale securities rather than deductions in amortized cost. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). The provisions in ASU 2018-02 allow for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings to eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the change in federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of ASU 2018-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2018-15”), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts that adoption of this ASU will have on its financial statements. Note 3 . Revenue, Deferred Revenue, Contract Balances and Performance Obligations 66 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company sells to customers based in the United States through direct sales and indirect channels. Indirect channel revenue represented approximately 12% of the Company’s total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $21.2 million and $30.4 million , respectively. Contract assets as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $1.0 million and $1.2 million , respectively. $28.1 million and $26.4 million of revenue was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods. The Company recorded favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments to revenue arising from changes in estimates of transaction price of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 . The aggregate balance of remaining performance obligations from non-cancelable contracts with customers as of December 31, 2018 was $156.8 million . The Company expects to recognize approximately 70% of this balance over the next 12 months, with the remaining balance recognized thereafter. Remaining performance obligations are defined as deferred revenue and amounts yet to be billed for the non-cancelable portion of contracts. Note 4 . Deferred Costs Changes in the balance of total deferred commissions and total deferred professional service costs for the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 Additions As adjusted (1) Expense recognized December 31, 2018 Deferred commissions Deferred professional service costs Total deferred commissions and professional service costs $ $ 27,512 $ 12,480 5,735 $ 2,921 (13,105) $ (5,268) 39,992 $ 8,656 $ (18,373) $ (1) Prior-period information has been adjusted for the adoption of ASC 606.

Impairment charges, included in expense recognized above, were $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 . No impairment charges were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2017 . Note 5 . Business Combinations On April 3, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Jiff. Jiff provided an enterprise health benefits platform that served as a central hub for employee wellbeing and employee benefit programs and its acquisition by the Company formed the basis for Wellbeing Navigator. The acquisition enabled the Company to develop a product offering that provides the full spectrum of wellbeing, healthcare decision support and an engagement hub all in one complete package. The Company acquired Jiff for approximately 27,000,000 shares and options. At the closing on April 3, 2017, Venrock, a holder of more than 5% of the Company’s capital stock, acquired a total of 3,965,979 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock in exchange for its shares of Jiff capital stock. Venrock will also receive its pro rata share of any additional contingent consideration further described below. Bryan Roberts, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is a Partner at Venrock. Accordingly, this was a related party transaction. The Company’s Board appointed a Special Committee (comprised solely of disinterested directors) to which it delegated the full and exclusive power, authority and discretion of the Castlight Board to evaluate, assess, and approve the Jiff transaction on its behalf, including retaining a financial advisor for an opinion on the fairness of the financial conditions of the transaction. The transaction was approved solely by the Special Committee which concluded that the transaction terms were fair to Castlight, and the transaction was in the best interests of Castlight and its stockholders. 67 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As part of the merger, certain stockholders and option holders were to receive an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock or options if the Jiff business achieved at least $25 million in revenue in 2017 and an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of Class B common stock or options if the Jiff business achieved at least $25 million in net new bookings during 2017 (“the milestones”). As of December 31, 2017, the Company evaluated and determined that both the milestones were not met. Additionally, all options for Jiff common stock held by Jiff employees who became employees of the combined company were converted into options to purchase the Company’s Class B common stock. The following table summarizes the components of the purchase consideration transferred based on the closing price of the Company’s stock as of the acquisition date (in thousands): Fair value of Company Class B common stock (25,054,049 shares at $3.65 per share) Fair value of contingent consideration Fair value of assumed Jiff options attributable to pre-combination services Transaction costs paid on behalf of Jiff Total purchase price consideration $ Fair value 91,447 671 9,574 4,498 $ 106,190 For the Jiff options assumed as part of the acquisition, the Company applied the ratio of pre-combination service provided, on a grant-by-grant basis, to the total service period and applied this ratio to the acquisition date fair value of the Jiff awards. The Company determined that the contingent consideration shares associated with the milestones are one unit of account, and the Company classified the contingent consideration as a liability as the arrangement can be settled in a variable number of shares and is not considered fixed-for-fixed. Based on the probability of completing the milestones and changes in the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liability which was $0.7 million at the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2017, the Company reversed the contingent consideration liability as the milestones were not met. As a result, $0.7 million of income was recorded in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company has accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. The method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The final allocation of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected below. There were no changes to amounts previously recorded as assets or liabilities that resulted in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class in the acquisition of Jiff were recognized as follows (in thousands): Cash Current assets Other assets Acquired intangible assets Goodwill Total assets acquired Deferred revenue Other current liabilities Debt Non-current liabilities Total net assets acquired $ $ 2,234 5,159 1,971 23,900 91,785 125,049 (1,857) (6,192) (5,578) (5,232) 106,190 68 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The fair values assigned to tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and identifiable intangible assets are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the cross-selling opportunities, cost synergies, and a knowledgeable and experienced workforce which play an important role in the integration of the acquired customers and technology. The goodwill balance is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The following table sets forth the fair value components of identifiable acquired intangible assets (in thousands) and their estimated useful lives (in years): Customer relationships Developed technology Backlog Other acquired intangible assets Total identifiable intangible assets $ Fair Value Useful Life 10,900 10,600 1,500 900 10 5 3 1 - 3 $ 23,900 Customer relationships represent the fair value of projected cash flows that will be derived from the sale of products to Jiff's existing customers based on existing, in-process, and future versions of the underlying technology. Developed technology represents Jiff’s benefits platform. The Company used the relief from royalty method to value the developed technology. To determine the net cash flow that a market participant would expect to realize from licensing the Company's technology, the Company estimated a net royalty rate, which excludes any expenses that would be incurred to maintain the current functionality of the technology. The Company has included the financial results of Jiff in the consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2017, $10.0 million of revenue, adjusted for the adoption of ASC 606, attributable to Jiff was included in the consolidated results of operations, and the associated operating income was immaterial. The Company incurred $3.1 million of acquisition-related costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 that were recognized in general and administrative expenses. The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for the Company and Jiff as if the companies were combined as of the beginning of 2016. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the business combination and factually supportable. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented includes the business combination accounting effects resulting from the acquisition, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and acquisition-related costs. In addition, the pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the adoption of ASC 606 in 2018.

A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value: Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value of marketable securities included in the Level 2 category is based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These values were obtained from a third-party pricing service and were evaluated using 71 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC.

Debt Term Loan In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Jiff, on April 3, 2017, the Company, Jiff and Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”) agreed to refinance the existing term loan facility owed by Jiff to the Bank (the “Loan Agreement”) for approximately $5.6 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan required interest- only payments for the period May 2017 through September 2018, followed by 36 monthly payments of principal and interest. Obligations under the Term Loan accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (A) the prime rate as published in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal ( “Prime Rate”) minus 1% or (B) 0% . Interest on the Term Loan is payable monthly. The maturity date of the Term Loan is September 1, 2021. In addition to principal and interest payments, the Company is also required to pay $0.5 million as final payment on the earlier of maturity, termination or prepayment of the Term Loan. The Company accrues for the final payment over the life of the Term Loan using the effective interest method.

The Company may request borrowings under the Revolving Line prior to April 3, 2019, on which date the Revolving Line terminates. As of December 31, 2018 , no borrowings have been made under the Revolving Line. 73 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC.

Related Party Transactions and Variable Interest Entity In 2015, the Company made a preferred stock investment of $4.1 million and entered into a strategic alliance with Lyra Health ("Lyra"), a related party at the time of the investment. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company sold its investment in Lyra to a group of buyers that included related parties. Lyra was considered a related party to the Company because two of the Company’s directors, Dr. Roberts and Mr. Ebersman, served on the Lyra board of directors and Mr. Ebersman is the Lyra chief executive officer. Prior to the sale of the investment in Lyra, the Company evaluated all its transactions with Lyra and determined that Lyra was a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for the Company but that it was not required to consolidate the operations of the VIE. Because Lyra was a related party and potential buyers were also related parties, the Company formed an independent committee of the Company's board of directors (the "Independent Committee"), comprised solely of disinterested directors, to approve the sale. The Company engaged an independent third-party valuation expert to assist in determining the fair value of the Company's investment in Lyra. Based in part on the valuation performed, the Company negotiated a selling price of $5.5 million , which the Independent Committee approved after concluding that the transaction terms were fair to the Company. In 2017, the sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1.4 million which is recorded in other income, net within the consolidated statements of operations. Note 12 .

The Company's facility lease agreements generally provide for rental payments on a graduated basis and for options to renew, which could increase future minimum lease payments if exercised. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 was $3.5 million , $4.1 million and $3.3 million , respectively. In March 2018, the Company subleased a portion of its engineering office located in Mountain View, California reducing its total rent obligation by $2.4 million and recognizing a one-time sublease loss of $0.9 million in research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During 2018, the Company recognized a lease exit charge of approximately $1.3 million related to the remaining engineering office space in Mountain View, California that the Company no longer utilizes. These charges are recorded in research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Legal Matters During the second quarter of 2015, four purported securities class action lawsuits, which were later consolidated into a single action, were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, against the Company, certain of its current and former directors, executive officers, significant stockholders and underwriters associated with its initial public offering (“IPO”). The lawsuits were brought by purported stockholders of the Company seeking to represent a class consisting of all those who purchased the Company’s stock pursuant or traceable to the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with its IPO, alleging claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. On March 28, 2016, the parties to the consolidated actions reached a mutually acceptable resolution by way of a mediated cash settlement for an aggregate amount of $9.5 million , and the Court entered final approval of the settlement on October 28, 2016. As a result of the settlement, Castlight recorded a net charge of $2.9 million to general and administrative expense in 2016. This amount represents the portion of settlement that was not covered by insurance and legal fees incurred in 2016 regarding this matter. From time to time, the Company may become subject to other legal proceedings, claims or litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive letters alleging infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur in litigation, the impact could be material to the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations, depending on the specific circumstances of the outcome. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is both probable that it will incur the loss and when it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss or range of loss. 75 Table of Contents Note 14 . Stock Compensation Employee Equity Plans CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company adopted a 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ( “ EIP ” ) that became effective on March 12, 2014 and serves as the successor to the Company's 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. Shares issued under the 2008 Stock Plan were Class A common stock and shares issued under the EIP are Class B common stock. The Company's 2014 EIP authorizes the award of stock options, restricted stock awards ( “ RSAs ” ), stock appreciation rights ( “ SARs ” ), restricted stock units ( “ RSUs ” ), performance awards and stock bonuses. The Company began granting RSUs in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company adopted a 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ( “ ESPP ” ) that became effective on March 13, 2014 that enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's Class B common stock at a discount. The Company has not yet established a start date of the initial purchasing period under the ESPP. Stock-Based Compensation to Employees All stock-based compensation to employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and is generally recognized in the Company's statement of operations over the period during which the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period of the award). Except for the stock options assumed and granted related to the Jiff acquisition, the Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model. For restricted stock units, fair value is based on the closing price of the Company's Class B common stock on the grant date. Compensation cost is generally recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award using the straight-line method. For awards with performance based and service vesting conditions, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied based on the accelerated attribution method. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were determined as follows: Volatility. Since the Company does not have enough trading history for its Class B common stock, the expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of peer group companies within the Company's industry. I n evaluating peer companies, the Company considered factors such as nature of business, customer base, service offerings and markets served. Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free rate that the Company used is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. Expected Life. The expected term represents the period that the Company's stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The expected term assumptions were determined based on the vesting terms, exercise terms and contractual lives of the options. Dividend Yield. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero . Fair Value of Common Stock. T he Company has used the market closing price for its Class B common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange to determine the fair value of the Company's common stock. In addition to assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” in 2017, the Company estimated a forfeiture rate to calculate the stock-based compensation for its awards based on an analysis of its actual forfeitures. The Company used historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and recorded stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company no longer estimates forfeitures but accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Except for the stock options assumed and granted related to the Jiff acquisition, the fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions and fair value per share: 76 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC.

T he total grant-date fair value of stock options vested, in cluding options assumed related to the Jiff acquisition in 2017, during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 was $3.4 million , $6.7 million and $4.9 million , respectively. The total intrinsic value of the options exercised, in cluding options assumed related to the Jiff acquisition in 2017, during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , was $5.7 million , $2.6 million and $4.7 million , respectively. The intrinsic value is the difference of the current fair value of the stock and the exercise price of the stock option. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had $1.0 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years. 77 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Assumed and Awarded Jiff Options In connection with the acquisition of Jiff, the Company assumed 5.4 million options with a grant date fair value of $14.1 million . These options are categorized as performance stock options, as the final exercise price at the time of acquisition was to be determined upon the achievement of certain milestones. The total acquisition date fair value of $14.1 million allocation to the pre-combination services and post-combination services was $9.6 million and $4.5 million , respectively. Any subsequent changes in the fair value of the assumed Jiff options resulting from achievement of the earn-out milestones were to be accounted as post-combination stock compensation expense. For the year ended December 31, 2017 , the Company did not make changes to the assumed Jiff options as earn-out milestones were not met.

The total grant-date fair value of RSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 was $27.4 million, $24.0 million, and $28.4 million respectively. T he total grant-date fair value of RSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 was $17.3 million, $19.8 million , and $15.5 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had $29.8 million in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.7 years. During 2018 , the Company awarded 0.8 million PSUs to certain employees. The number of shares that would eventually vest depends on achievement of performance targets for 2018 , as determined by the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors, and if achieved, may range from 50% to 150% of the targeted award amount. Once the performance is determined and a targeted award amount is fixed, the target number of PSUs, if any, will generally vest in eight quarterly installments, subject to recipients' continued service, after the performance period has ended. The compensation expense, if any, associated with the PSUs is recognized using the accelerated method. For the year ended December 31, 2018 , the Company recognized compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million related to 0.2 million PSUs as performance conditions were met, and no expense was recognized related to the remaining 0.6 million PSUs as performance conditions were not met. No expense related to PSUs was recorded in 2017 or 2016 as the Company determined the performance conditions were not met. Note 15 .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Transactions with SAP Technologies, Inc. In May 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ( the “Securities Purchase Agreement” ) with SAP Technologies, Inc. (“SAP”) pursuant to which it sold and issued to SAP 4.7 million shares of its Class B Common Stock and a warrant (the “Warrant”), which gave SAP the right to purchase up to 1.9 million shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock for an exercise price of $4.91 , subject to certain conditions. The net proceeds from this transaction were $17.8 million , net of issuance costs, and are being used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Warrant was set to expire four years from the date the Company enters into agreements with SAP related to the distribution and the reselling of the Company’s solutions (the “Alliance Agreements”) within a prescribed period. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company and SAP modified the Warrant to extend the time period allowed to execute the Alliance Agreements from May 17, 2017 to November 17, 2017. However, the Alliance Agreements were not executed prior to that date and a s a result, the Warrant expired. The shares and Warrant were considered freestanding instruments from each other and were classified within stockholders’ equity. Initially, upon execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company preliminarily allocated the net proceeds to the shares and Warrant and also to a customer prepayment liability classified within accrued expenses and other current liabilities that represented the future obligations under the Alliance Agreements. The Company updated its preliminary allocation of the net proceeds as a result of the modification of the Warrant in the second quarter of 2017, which resulted in a change in classification of customer prepayment liability into other assets. S ubsequent to expiration, during the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company released the associated other asset in the consolidated balance sheet and recorded a $1.1 million non-cash charge in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations. The expiration did not result in a change to the amounts recorded within stockholders' equity. Note 16 .

As a result of the Company's history of net operating losses and full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, there was no current or deferred income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2016 . For the year ended December 31, 2017, as a result of the acquisition of Jiff in April 2017 , the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $5.2 million . This tax benefit is a result of the partial release of its existing valuation allowance since the acquired deferred tax liabilities from Jiff will provide a source of income for the Company to realize a portion of its deferred tax assets, for which a valuation allowance is no longer needed. There was no other current or deferred income tax provision for December 31, 2017. 79 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC.

Therefore, no benefit has been recognized for the net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by $9.1 million and decreased by $11.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The increase in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2018 related to the increase in net operating losses for ongoing operations. The decrease in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2017 related to a decrease in the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, as well as the acquired deferred tax liabilities from Jiff. In connection with the adoption of ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognized a deferred tax liability in the amount of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, with an offsetting reduction to the valuation allowance. 80 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) into law. The new legislation decreased the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Act also included a number of other provisions including the elimination of loss carrybacks and limitations on the use of future losses and repeal of the Alternative Minimum Tax regime. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company determined the provisional amounts related to the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future was a net decrease to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of $51.2 million , with a corresponding offsetting change in valuation allowance of $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2018, we completed our accounting for all of the enactment-date income tax effects of the Act. There were no changes to the provisional amounts as determined as of December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had approximately $470.3 million of federal and $327.9 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. If not utilized, the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2028 . As of December 31, 2018 , the Company also had approximately $10.5 million and $11.6 million of research and development tax credit carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income, if any, for federal and California purposes, respectively. The federal credit carryforwards expire beginning in 2028 , and the California research credits do not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company's ability to utilize the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in the future may be subject to substantial restrictions in the event of past or future ownership changes as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state tax laws. In the event the Company should experience an ownership change, as defined under Section 382, utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits could be limited. The Company evaluates tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for r ecognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

The Company do es not anticipate that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease in the next 12 months. The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within its provision for income taxes. Due to the Company's net operating loss position, the Company has not recorded an accrual for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 or 2016 . Note 17 . Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less the weighted-average unvested common stock subject to repurchase. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including Preferred Stock and outstanding stock options and warrants, to the extent dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per share was the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. 81 Table of Contents CASTLIGHT HEALTH, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS When shares of both Class A and Class B common stock are outstanding, net loss is allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common stock as if the earnings for the year have been distributed.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the supervision and participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on our management’s evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2018 , our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f). Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included evaluation of elements such as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2018 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit emerging growth companies such as our company to provide only management’s report in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
