Item 1. Business
Overview
We invented a purpose-built mobile IT platform for enterprises to secure and manage mobile applications, or apps, content and devices
while providing their employees with device choice, privacy and a native user experience. Customers use our platform as the technology
foundation in their journey to become “Mobile First” organizations, embracing mobility as a primary computing platform for their employees.
Mobile First organizations transform their businesses by giving their employees secure access to critical business applications and content on
devices employees want with a native user experience they love. Our platform is extensible and fosters a growing ecosystem of application
developers and technology partners who augment the functionality and add value to our platform, creating positive network effects for our
customers, our ecosystem and our company.
We were founded in 2007 and spent our first two years focused on the development of our mobile IT platform. In 2009, we released our
mobile IT platform to customers globally. We have continued to introduce new products and functionality to address the management and
security of mobile applications and content and have extended our solution to a cloud offering to enable deployment flexibility for our
customers.
The adoption of mobile technology is a disruption of historic proportions and has outpaced earlier transitions such as mainframe to PCs
and client/server to the Internet. IT departments are often challenged to provide users the benefits of mobility, while simultaneously satisfying
enterprise security and compliance requirements. Users want to access business apps and corporate content on their favorite smartphone and
tablet with the same ease of use they experience on those devices in their personal lives. Users also expect their privacy to be preserved when
using their personal devices at work.
Our mobile IT platform addresses the requirements across all phases of customers’ journeys to become Mobile First organizations. It
provides value to both end-users and IT departments. End-users get apps and content that they need to get their job done on the mobile device of
their choice while preserving the native device experience. Enterprise IT departments get a security and management platform that easily
integrates into their existing IT or cloud infrastructure and allows them to protect and manage corporate data and apps, independent of the
mobile device, for both corporate-owned, bring your own device, or BYOD, and mixed device ownership environments.
Our business model is based on winning new customers, expanding sales within existing customers, upselling new products and renewing
subscriptions and software support agreements. We win customers using a sales force that works closely with our channel partners, including
resellers, service providers and system integrators. We have experienced rapid growth in our customer base, having sold our platform to over
8,000 customers since 2009. We enhance the value of our platform by introducing additional products and upselling these additional products to
our customers. For example, in 2014, we extended our platform with new functionality such as DataView, an updated Docs@Work,
Help@Work, integration with Microsoft System Center, Single Sign-On, and Tunnel. Our global customer support team is focused on enabling
successful customers, leading to additional sales and renewals of subscription an d software agreements. In 2014, we generated over half of our
gross billings from recurring sources. Our renewal rates, which are determined on a device basis for software and subscription support
agreements, exceeded 90% in 2014.
We offer our customers the flexibility to use our software as a cloud service or to deploy it on premise. They can also choose from various
pricing options including subscription and perpetual licensing. We target customers of all sizes across a broad range of industries including
financial services, government, healthcare, legal, manufacturing, professional services, retail, technology and telecommunications. As of
December 31 , 2014, our customers included over 450 companies on the Forbes Global 2000 Leading Companies list for 2014, which included
five of the top six aerospace and defense firms, four of the top six pharmaceuticals and medical equipment companies, all top seven automotive
manufactures and conglomerates, all top five rail and air couriers and five of the top six electric utilities . No single end user of our products
accounted for more than 5% of our total revenue in 2014.
The MobileIron Platform and Services
Our platform is composed of three integrated and distributed software components: a mobile IT policy server, or Core, that allows IT
departments to define security and device management policies across popular mobile operating systems; software on the device, or Client, to
enforce those policies at the mobile end-point; and an in-line intelligent gateway, or Sentry, that secures data as it moves between the device and
back-end enterprise systems. The three components of the MobileIron platform work together to ensure end-to-end security for enterprise data
by enforcing IT policies defined in Core on the data-at-rest via Client and data-in-motion with Sentry. Our platform utilizes FIPS 140-2
cryptographic modules, which are required by government agencies and are desirable for highly regulated and security conscious customers.

Table of Contents
Our platform enables four main areas of functionality:
• Mobile Device Management (MDM). Our MDM capabilities enable IT to securely manage mobile devices across mobile operating
systems and provide secure corporate email, automatic device configuration and certificate-based security. For end-users the
MobileIron client creates a clear separation between personal and business information. This allows IT to selectively wipe only the
corporate data on the device should the user leave the company or should the device fall out of compliance, or be lost.
• Mobile Application Management (MAM). Our MAM functionality helps IT manage the entire apps lifecycle, from making apps
available in the enterprise app storefront, securing applications on the device, enforcing user authentication, isolating them from
personal apps and retiring them as necessary. On the device, the Client works with Core to install the enterprise app storefront so
that users can browse and install the mobile applications made available to them by their company. Enterprise app data is secure and
can only be exchanged between applications that are part of the MobileIron container.
• Mobile Content Management (MCM). Our MCM functionality enables IT to provide secure mobile access to enterprise documents
residing in SharePoint, file shares and other enterprise and cloud content repositories. It also secures email attachments so that they
are encrypted and can only be viewed with the secure MobileIron Viewer or any other enterprise application managed by
MobileIron. Our secure web browser enables users to securely access corporate intranet and HTML apps without requiring a virtual
private network, or VPN, client on the device.
• Advanced Services. Our advanced mobile security services include Tunnel, which allows mobile apps to access enterprise resources
through a secure application communication channel, eliminating the need for device VPN; Single Sign-On, which gives access to
multiple enterprise apps with a single authentication; Data View, which enables users to monitor and track mobile data usage; and
Help@Work, which mirrors the user’s screen onto the IT management console so that IT support personnel can better help the user
resolve the issue.
Platform Extensibility and Ecosyst em
We have invested, and intend to continue to invest, in expanding the breadth and depth of our mobile IT ecosystem. Our platform is
extensible on both the client side and server side. Customers, application vendors and technology vendors can leverage our technology to add
value to our platform, and in turn, mobilize and secure their products, apps and content.
On the client side, MobileIron AppConnect allows application vendors and customers to build apps that can be secured and managed by
MobileIron. Once integrated, these applications become part of the secure container on the device managed by the Client, which
5
Table of Contents
configures the apps, secures their data while on the device, ensures that corporate data can only be shared between secure applications,
authenticates the user with a single pin or password, and if need be, removes the applications from the device. AppConnect-enabled applications
can also leverage secure Sentry tunnels to exchange information with enterprise back-end systems. As of December 31, 2014, 264 AppConnect
application developments were either completed or were in the process of completion.
On the server side, we work with leading technology companies through our Technology Alliance program. These partners use the
MobileIron platform APIs to enrich the features and functionality of their products with mobile IT capabilities. When combined, the common
solutions provide increased security, better user experience, and business visibility through analytics. For example, network security vendors
can use our security status information in order to make real time decisions about whether a mobile device should be granted access to secure
corporate service. Application Reputation vendors can use our system in order to detect the presence of new apps and remediate as
necessary. Leading data analytics providers can use the data we collect on devices in order to help the IT department make better choices. As of
December 31, 2014, 74 Technology Alliance integrations were completed or in development.
Our Competitive Strengths
We pioneered many of the innovations in the mobile IT landscape. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors through the following
strengths:
• Comprehensive Solution for the Transition to a Mobile First Organization. We believe that most organizations are at some stage along
a phased adoption of mobile technology and will require a mobile IT platform to successfully leverage the benefits of mobility. Our
platform can be adopted in stages to support the Mobile First journey of an organization, from device security and secure email
delivery to managed content and applications.
• Platform Architected for Mobile IT. Our mobile IT platform was purpose-built to address the rapidly-evolving and complex mobile
requirements of users, IT and the mobile IT ecosystem, unlike others who have repurposed their products to retrofit them with mobile
capabilities. We believe the pace of change in our market is unprecedented, driven by the rapid evolution of mobile operating systems
such as iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. We believe by being independent and focused on this market, we provide a higher level of
service, faster innovation, and differentiated products to our customers.
• Enterprise Class Security. We continue to invest in providing enterprise class security for our customers. Our platform secures
enterprise data on the device and data traveling between the device and back-end enterprise systems. It utilizes FIPS 140-2
cryptographic modules, which are required by government agencies and are desirable for highly regulated and security conscious
customers. We have successfully deployed to customers in some of the most security conscience enterprise environments in industry
verticals such as government, financial services, and health-care.
• Network Effects of our Platform. Our platform benefits from positive network effects that are the result of the strength of our
ecosystem. Our ecosystem includes applications developed by customers and third-parties using our AppConnect technology. Platform
effects include our ecosystem partners accelerating enterprise adoption of their products that use AppConnect, and customers choosing
our platform because of our ecosystem of AppConnect partners.
• Application Management. Our end-to-end solution to secure and manage mobile apps enables our customers to move beyond secure
email and mobilize other core business processes, therefore getting the next level of return on their mobile investments.
• World Class Global Customer Success Organization. We believe that our customers’ success with their mobility initiatives will drive
rapid expansion of their mobile IT infrastructure and in turn grow our business. Our global Customer Success organization provides
global technology support, implementation and best practices toolkits, education and online training, as well as strategic account
management to build trusted customer relationships. We seek to build mobile industry expertise throughout the IT community by
offering MobileIron certification programs to our customers and partners to help educate, train and certify individuals who work with
our products and services.
• Our Channel-Focused Sales Model with Global Reach. We have a strong global network of channel partners that drive customer and
sales growth across all customer segments. Our indirect sales model comprises over 400 mobile-focused resellers around the world and
over 40 service providers . We work with diverse channel partners to maximize global sales reach and provide efficient customer
service.
6
Table of Contents
• Flexible Deployment and Pricing Model. We offer our customers the choice of using our platform either as a cloud service or deployed
on premise. We offer pricing flexibility with subscription or perpetual licensing options, which allows a customer to pay for our
platform through either its capital or operating budget.
Customers
Our customers include leading enterprises in a broad range of industries, including financial services, government, healthcare, legal,
manufacturing, professional services, retail, technology and telecommunications. None of these industry verticals accounted for more than 20%
of our gross billings in the three year period ended 2014. These customers are predominantly medium to large enterprises. We have proven
scalability supporting large enterprise-wide deployments. We have sold our products to over 8,000 customers globally, including more than 450
companies on the Forbes Global 2000 Leading Companies list, as of December 31, 2014. Our channel partners include resellers, service
providers and system integrators. AT&T, Inc., as a reseller, accounted for approximately 20%, 20% and 14% of our total revenue in 2014, 2013
and 2012, respectively. No end user of our products accounted for more than 5% of our total revenue in 2014, 2013, or 2012.
Backlog
As is typical in the software industry, we expect a significant portion of our software license orders to be received in the last month of
each quarter. We typically deliver software licenses shortly after the receipt of an order. We may have backlog consisting of perpetual license
orders that have not been delivered or software support services or subscriptions that have not been billed and for which the services have not
yet been performed. We do not believe that our backlog at any particular time is meaningful because it has historically been immaterial relative
to our total revenue and is not necessarily indicative of future revenue in any given period.
Sales and Marketing
We sell our products almost entirely through indirect sales channels and maintain a sales force that works closely with our channel
partners to develop sales opportunities. We have a high touch sales force focused on organizations in the Forbes Global 2000 Leading
Companies list, inside sales teams focused on mid-sized enterprises, and teams that work with service providers that focus on small to medium
sized businesses.
Our sales organization is supported by sales engineers with deep technical expertise and responsibility for pre-sales technical support and
technical training of our channel partners. The sales organization has strong alignment with our Customer Success teams and acts as a liaison
between the end-customers and the marketing and product development organizations, especially during the pre-sales phase. We believe this
approach allows us to leverage the benefits our sales channel and maintain communication with our customers. Our sales cycle ranges from a
few weeks for smaller organizations to many months for large enterprises.
Channel Program
We work with mobile-focused channel partners who sell our platform to customers. We focus on building in-depth relationships with a
number of solutions-oriented partners that have strong industry expertise. These channel partners include both traditional IT resellers as well as
service providers. As of December 31, 2014, we have over 400 mobile-focused resellers, including more than 40 service providers . These
channel partners are supported by our sales and marketing organization. We operate a formal accreditation program for the sales and technical
professionals of our channel partners.
Marketing
Our marketing efforts are focused on building our brand reputation and market awareness of our platform, driving customer demand and
operating our channel program. The marketing team consists primarily of product marketing, programs marketing, field marketing, channel
marketing and public relations functions. Marketing activities include demand generation, advertising, managing the corporate website and
partner portal, trade shows and user conferences, industry and channel events, product education and leadership content, press and analyst
relations and customer awareness. In addition, we sponsor the publication of major market research and provide industry analysis. These
activities and tools are available to our channel partners.
7
Table of Contents
We also host our annual Mobile First user conference, and webinars where customers and partners both participate in and present a
variety of programs designed to help accelerate marketing success with our services and platform. We are investing in marketing, sales, and
channel automation tools to achieve efficiencies in our marketing efforts.
Research and Development
We have invested significant time and financial resources in the development of our platform and believe that continued research and
development is critical to our ongoing success. Research and development investments drive innovation, enterprise class mobile IT platform
features and keep pace with the rapidly evolving mobile operating system and device ecosystem.
We believe that innovation and timely development of new features and products are essential to meeting the needs of our customers and
channel partners and improving our competitive position. The distributed nature of our platform enables enterprise-class scalability and high
performance to allow customers to integrate it seamlessly regardless of the complexity of their existing infrastructure. We built a unique and
proprietary test automation framework and methodology optimized for our mobile IT platform that allows us to perform real-world load and
regressions testing of our platform to demonstrate high-availability and enterprise-class scalability across all of our supported mobile operating
systems. For example, our testing framework and methodology covers over 14 email clients across three mobile operating systems, seven email
systems and five certificate authorities .
Research and development expense totaled $ 46.3 million, $ 36.4 million and $ 23.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We
plan to continue to significantly invest in resources to conduct our research and development effort s .
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive industry that is characterized by constant change and innovation. Changes in the devices, operating
systems, applications and technology landscape result in evolving customer requirements.
Our competitors fall into four primary categories:
• diversified technology companies such as Microsoft and IBM;
•
large security and enterprise-software companies such as McAfee (owned by Intel), Symantec and SAP;
• providers of enterprise mobility management solutions such as VMware, Citrix and Good Technology; and
•
small and large companies that offer point solutions that compete with some of the features present in our mobile IT platform.
The principal competitive factors in our market include:
• product features, reliability, performance and effectiveness;
• product extensibility and ability to integrate with other technology infrastructures;
• privacy and data security;
• customer choice of flexibility between cloud service or on premise deployment;
• mobile IT expertise:
• price and total cost of ownership;
• adherence to industry standards and certifications;
•
• brand awareness and reputation; and
•
strength of sales and marketing efforts;
focus on customer service and success.
8
Table of Contents
We believe we generally compete favorably with our competitors on the basis of these factors as a result of the architecture, features, and
performance of our platform, the ease of integration of our platform with other technology infrastructures, our mobile IT expertise and our
commitment to customer success. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources, greater name
recognition, larger sales and marketing budgets, broader distribution and larger and more mature intellectual property portfolios.
Intellectual Property
Our success depends critically upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on
federal, state, common law and international intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, copyrights and trademarks. We also
rely on confidentiality and contractual restrictions, including confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and
contractors and confidentiality agreements with third parties.
We pursue registration of our patents, trademarks and domain names in the United States and certain locations outside the United States.
We actively seek patent protection covering inventions originating from the company and acquire patents we believe may be useful or relevant
to our business. As of December 31, 2014 , w e own ed 17 patents worldwide .
Circumstances outside our control could pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. For example, effective intellectual property
protection may not be available outside the United States. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient
or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Also, protecting
our intellectual property rights is costly and time-consuming. Any unauthorized disclosure or use of our intellectual property could make it more
expensive to do business and harm our operating results.
Companies in the mobile and other technology industries or non-practicing entities may own large numbers of patents, copyrights and
trademarks and may frequently request license agreements, threaten litigation or file suit against us based on allegations of infringement or other
violations of intellectual property rights. From time to time, we have faced, and expect to face in the future, suits or allegations that we have
infringed the trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties, including those of our competitors and non-
practicing entities. As we face increasing competition and as our business grows, we will likely face more claims of infringement.
Employees
As of December 31, 2014, we had 783 full-time employees, 246 of whom were primarily engaged in research and development, 329 of
whom were primarily engaged in sales and marketing, 120 of whom were primarily engaged in customer success and 88 of whom were
primarily engaged in administration and finance . 219 of these employees were located outside of the United States. None of our United States
employees are represented by a labor organization or are party to any collective bargaining arrangement. Employees in certain European
countries have the benefits of collective bargaining arrangements at the national level. We have never had a work stoppage, and we consider our
relationship with our employees to be good.
Segment and Geographic information
We conduct business globally. Our chief operating decision maker (Chief Executive Officer) reviews financial information presented on a
consolidated basis accompanied by information about revenue by geographic region for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating
financial performance. We have one business activity, and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating
results or plans for levels, components or types of products or services below the consolidated unit level. Accordi ngly, we are considered to be
a single reportable segment and operating unit structure.

We have no significant amount of long-lived assets in count ries outside the United States.
Facilities
Our principal executive offices are located in Mountain View, California and include four buildings totaling approximately 65,000 square
feet under leases expiring from March 2016 to June 2017. We have additional office locations throughout the United States and in various
international locations, including offices in the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany and India .
We intend to add new facilities and expand our existing facilities as we add employees and grow our business, and we believe that
suitable additional or substitute space will be available on commercially reasonable terms to meet our future needs.
Legal Proceedings
On November 14, 2012, Good Technology filed a lawsuit against us in federal court in the Northern District of California alleging
false and misleading representations concerning their products and infringement of four patents held by them. On March 1, 2013, we
counterclaimed against Good Technology for patent infringement of one of our patents. On October 13, 2014, the court issued a claims
construction order. Good Technology responded by filing additional patent infringement suits against us in Delaware and internationally , and
we have counterclaimed against them in the Delaware case on two of our next generation patents. We are contesting Good Technology’s claims
vigorously. Discovery is ongoing in the California patent case, and a trial date has been set for July 2015. The final outcome, including our
liability, if any, with respect to Good Technology’s claims, is uncertain.
In addition, from time to time, we are a party to litigation and subject to claims incident al to the ordinary course of business. Although
the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the final outcome of these ordinary course
matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Regardless of the outcome, litigation
can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Emerging Growth Company
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, was enacted in April 2012 with the intention of encouraging capital formation
in the United States and reducing the regulatory burden on newly public companies that qualify as “Emerging Growth Companies.” We are an
emerging growth company within the meaning of the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain
exemptions from various public reporting requirements, including the requirement that our internal control over financial reporting be audited
by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, certain requirements related
to the disclosure of executive compensation in our proxy statements, and the requirement that we hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive
compensation and any golden parachute payments. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth
company.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth
company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However,
we have chosen to “opt out” of such extended transition period and , as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the
relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that
our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Item 1 A. Risk Factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties including those described below. If any of the
following risks or others not specified below materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially
adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We have a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects and future financial results and may increase the risk
that we will not be successful.
Although we were incorporated in 2007, we did not commercially release the MobileIron platform until 2009, and we did not release
our mobile application containerization and mobile content management solutions until 2012. As a result of our limited operating history, our
ability to forecast our future operating results is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model
future growth. We have encountered and expect to continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies
in rapidly changing markets. If our assumptions regarding these uncertainties are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, or if
we do not manage or address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations, and our business
could suffer. Any success that we may experience in the future will depend, in large part, on our ability to, among other things:
(cid:1) retain and expand our customer base on a cost-effective basis;
(cid:1) increase revenues from existing customers as they add users or devices;
(cid:1) increase revenues from existing customers as they purchase additional solutions;
(cid:1) successfully compete in our markets;
(cid:1) continue to add features and functionality to our solutions to meet customer demand;
(cid:1) gain market traction with our MobileIron cloud platform and our mobile apps and content management solutions;
(cid:1) continue to invest in research and development;
(cid:1) scale our internal business operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner;
11
Table of Contents
(cid:1) scale our global Customer Success organization to make our customers successful in their mobile IT deployments;
(cid:1) continue to expand our solutions across mobile operating systems and device platforms;
(cid:1) make our service provider partners successful in their deployments of our solutions and technology;
(cid:1) successfully expand our business domestically and internationally;
(cid:1) successfully protect our intellectual property and defend against intellectual property infringement claims; and
(cid:1) hire, integrate and retain professional and technical talent.
We have had net losses each year since our inception and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
We have incurred net losses each year since our inception, including net losses of $61.9 million, $32.5 million and $46.5 million in
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, our accumulated deficit was $190.7 million. While we have experienced
significant revenue growth over recent periods, we may not be able to sustain or increase our growth or achieve or sustain profitability in the
future. Revenue growth may slow or revenue may decline for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, increasing and entrenched
competition, changes in pricing model, a decrease in size or growth of the mobile IT market, or any failure to capitalize on growth
opportunities. In addition over the past year, we have significantly increased our expenditures to support the development and expansion of our
business, which has resulted in increased losses. We plan to continue to invest for future growth, in part by making additional investment in
sales and marketing and research and development, and as a result, we do not expect to be profitable for the foreseeable future. In addition, we
will need to increase operating efficiency , which may be challenging given our growth, operational complexity, the expenses outlined above,
and additional expenses associated with being a public company. As a result of these increased expenditures, we will have to generate and
sustain increased revenues to achieve future profitability. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including
without limitation the other risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additionally, we may encounter unforeseen
operating expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may result in losses in future periods. If these losses
exceed our expectations or our revenue growth expectations are not met in future periods, our financial performance will be harmed.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to
fall below expectations or our guidance.
Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future. The timing and size of sales of
our solutions makes our revenues highly variable and difficult to predict and can result in significant fluctuations in our revenue from period to
period. Historically, a substantial portion of our revenue has been generated from sales of software solutions sold as perpetual licenses to large
enterprise companies, which tend to close near the end of a given quarter. Further, other customers’ buying patterns and sales cycles can vary
significantly from quarter to quarter and are not subject to an established pattern over the course of a quarter. Accordingly, at the beginning of a
quarter, we have limited visibility into the level of sales that will be made in that quarter. If expected revenue at the end of any quarter is
reduced or delayed for any reason, we may not be able to reduce our costs sufficiently to compensate for an unexpected shortfall in revenue, and
even a small shortfall in revenue could disproportionately and adversely affect our operating margin, operating results or other key metrics for a
given quarter.
Our operating results may fluctuate due to a variety of other factors, many of which are outside of our control, and any of which may
cause our stock price to fluctuate. In addition to other risks listed in this “Risk Factors” section, factors that may affect our operating results
include, but are not limited to:
(cid:1) the inherent complexity, length and associated unpredictability of our sales cycles for our solutions;
(cid:1) the extent to which our customers and prospective customers delay or defer purchase decisions in a quarter, particularly in the
last few weeks of the quarter, which is when we typically complete a large portion of our sales for a quarter;
12
Table of Contents
(cid:1) our ability to develop and release in a timely manner new solutions, features and functionality that meet customer
requirements;
(cid:1) changes in pricing due to competitive pricing pressure or other factors;
(cid:1) reductions in customers’ IT budgets and delays in the purchasing cycles of our customers and prospective customers;
(cid:1) variation in sales channels or in mix of solutions sold, including the mix of solutions sold on a perpetual license versus a
subscription or a monthly recurring contract, or MRC, basis;
(cid:1) the timing of recognizing revenue in any given quarter as a result of revenue recognition accounting rules, including the extent
to which revenue from sales transactions in a given period may not be recognized until a future period or, conversely, the
satisfaction of revenue recognition rules in a given period resulting in the recognition of revenue from transactions initiated in
prior periods;
(cid:1) changes in our mix of revenue as a result of our different deployment options and licensing models and the ensuing revenue
recognition effects;
(cid:1) changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and
(cid:1) general economic conditions in our domestic and international markets.
The cumulative effects of these factors could result in large fluctuations and unpredictability in our quarterly operating results. As a
result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results as an
indication of our future performance.
If our customers do not place significant follow-on orders to deploy our solutions widely throughout their companies, or if they do not renew
with us or if they do not purchase additional solutions, our future revenue and operating results will be harmed.
In order to increase our revenues we must continually grow our customer base and increase the depth and breadth of the deployments
of our solutions with our existing customers. While customers may initially purchase a relatively modest number of licenses, it is important that
they later expand the use of our software on substantially more devices or for more users throughout their business. We also need to upsell—to
sell additional solutions—to the same customers. Our strategy also depends on our existing customers renewing their software support or
subscription agreements with us. Because of the number of participants and consolidation in the mobile IT market, customers may delay making
initial purchase orders or expanding orders as they take into account the evolving mobile IT landscape. Also, if we do not develop new
solutions, features and functionality that meet our customers’ needs, they may not place upsell orders or expand orders. The rate at which our
customers purchase additional solutions depends on a number of factors, including the perceived need for additional solutions, features or
functionality, the perceived reliability of our solutions and other competitive factors, such as pricing and competitors’ offerings. If our efforts to
sell additional licenses to our customers and to upsell additional solutions to our customers are not successful, our business may suffer.
Further, existing customers that purchase our solutions have no contractual obligation to purchase additional solutions after the initial
subscription or contract period, and given our limited operating history, we are unable to accurately predict our customer expansion or renewal
rates. Our customers’ expansion and renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the level of their
satisfaction with our solutions or our customer support, customer budgets and the pricing of our solutions compared with the solutions offered
by our competitors, any of which may cause our revenue to grow more slowly than expected, if at all.
For smaller or simpler deployments, the switching costs and time are relatively minor compared to traditional enterprise software
deployments and a customer may decide not to renew with us and switch to a competitor’s offerings. Accordingly, we must invest significant
time and resources in providing ongoing value to our customers. If these efforts fail, or if our customers do not renew for other reasons, or if
they renew on terms less favorable to us, our revenue may decline and our business will suffer.

We compete in rapidly evolving markets and must develop new solutions and enhancements to our existing solutions. If we fail to predict
and respond rapidly to emerging technological trends and our customers’ changing needs, we may not be able to remain competitive. In
addition, we may not generate positive returns on our research and development investments, which may harm our operating results.
Our markets are characterized by rapidly changing technology, changing customer needs, evolving operating system standards and
frequent introductions of new offerings. To succeed, we must effectively anticipate, and adapt in a timely manner to, customer and multiple
operating system requirements and continue to develop or acquire new solutions and features that meet market demands and technology trends.
Likewise, if our competitors introduce new offerings that compete with ours or incorporate features that are not available in our solutions, we
may be required to reposition our solutions or introduce new solutions in response to such competitive pressure. We may not have access to or
have adequate notice of new operating system developments, and we may experience unanticipated delays in developing new solutions and
cloud services or fail to meet customer expectations for such solutions. If we fail to timely develop and introduce new solutions or
enhancements that respond adequately to new challenges in the mobile IT market, our business could be adversely affected, especially if our
competitors are able to more timely introduce solutions with such increased functionality.
We have invested significant time and financial resources in the development of our platforms and infrastructure and believe that we
must continue to dedicate substantial resources to our research and development efforts to maintain our competitive position. Developing our
products is expensive, and the investment in product development may not generate additional revenue in the near-term or at all. The research
and development of new, technologically advanced products is also a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation and
investment, as well as the accurate forecasts of technology, market trends and consumer needs. Our failure to successfully develop new and
improved products, services and technologies, may reduce our future growth and profitability and may adversely affect our business, results and
financial condition.
We have a primary back-end technology platform that can be used as a cloud service or deployed on premise and a second back-end
platform that is purpose-built as a cloud-only large scale, multi-tenant platform. We must continually invest in both platforms, and the existence
of two back-end technology platforms makes engineering more complex and expensive and may introduce compatibility challenges. We have
made significant investments in the cloud-only platform and have not yet gained substantial market traction with the cloud-only platform.
Should our MobileIron cloud-only platform fail to achieve substantial market traction, we would lose the value of our investment and our
business and operating results may be harmed.
Further, we may be required to commit significant resources to developing new solutions before knowing whether our investments will
result in solutions that the market will accept. These risks are greater in the mobile IT market because our software is deployed on phones and
tablets that run on different operating systems such as iOS, Android and Windows Phone , and these multiple operating systems change
frequently in response to consumer demand. As a result, we may need to release new software updates at a much greater pace than a traditional
enterprise software company that supports only PCs. We may experience technical design, engineering, marketing and other difficulties that
could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new solutions and enhancements on both of our technology platforms. As
a result, we may not be successful in modifying our current solutions or introducing new ones in a timely or appropriately responsive manner, or
at all. If we fail to address these changes successfully, our business and operating results could be materially harmed.
Finally, all of our additional solutions require customers to use our MobileIron platform, whether deployed on premise or through our
cloud service. As such, virtually all of our revenue depends on the continued adoption and use of our MobileIron platform. If customers and
prospective customers decided to stop using or purchasing the MobileIron platform, our product strategy would fail and our business would be
harmed.
In recent periods, an increasing portion of our sales has been generated from subscription, including MRC, licenses, which involves certain
risks.
In recent periods, an increasing portion of our sales has been generated from subscription, including MRC, licenses. This mix shift
towards MRC and other subscription licensing, presents a number of risks to us. For example, arrangements entered into on a subscription
basis generally delay the timing of revenue recognition and often require the incurrence of up-front costs, which can be significant. Subscription
revenues are recognized over the subscription period, which is typically 12 months. MRC revenue is recognized
14
Table of Contents
monthly on the basis of active users or devices and thus will fluctuate from month to month. As a result, even if customer demand increases, our
revenues will not increase at the same rate as in prior periods, or may decline. Customers in a subscription arrangement may elect not to renew
their contractual arrangement with us upon expiration, or they may attempt to renegotiate pricing or other contractual terms on terms that are
less favorable to us. Because we recognize a substantial portion of our subscription revenues over the term of the subscription agreement, we
incur upfront costs, such as sales commissions, related to acquiring such customers. Therefore, as we add customers in a particular year, our
immediate costs to acquire customers may increase significantly relative to revenues recognized in that same year, which could result in
increased losses or decreased profits in that period. Service providers that operate on an MRC billing model typically report to us in arrears on a
monthly basis the number of actual users or devices deployed, and then we generate invoices based on those reports. Therefore, invoicing and
collection logistics often result in a longer collection cycle, which negatively affects our cash flow. In addition, under an MRC billing model,
the service provider typically has the contractual and business relationship with the customer, and thus we typically depend more heavily on the
service provider partner for both customer acquisition and support under this billing model.
We are in a highly competitive market, and competitive pressures from existing and new companies may harm our business, revenues,
growth rates and market share. In addition, there has been consolidation in our market, and a number of our current or potential
competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater resources than we
do.
Our market is intensely competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future from established competitors, consolidations
and new market entrants. Our major competitors include Citrix, Good Technology, IBM, Microsoft and VMware. A number of our historical
competitors have been purchased by large corporations. For example, Zenprise acquired Sparus and was then acquired by Citrix, AirWatch was
acquired by VMware and Fiberlink was acquired by IBM. These large corporations have longer operating histories, greater name recognition,
larger and better established customer bases, more channel partners, and significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other
resources than we have. Consolidation is expected to continue in our industry. As a result of consolidation, our competitors may be able to adapt
more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of
their solutions and services, initiate or withstand substantial price competition, take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities more
readily, and develop and expand their solution and service offerings and features more quickly than we can. In addition, certain of our
competitors may be able to leverage their relationships with customers based on an installed base of solutions or to incorporate functionality
into existing solutions to gain business in a manner that discourages customers from purchasing our solutions, including through selling at zero
or negative margins, through solution bundling or through enterprise license deals. Some potential customers, especially Global 2000 prospects,
have already made investments in, or may make investments in, substantial personnel and financial resources and established deep relationships
with these much larger enterprise IT vendors, which may make them reluctant to work with us regardless of solution performance or features.
Potential customers may prefer to purchase a broad suite of solutions from a single provider, or may prefer to purchase mobile IT solutions from
an existing supplier rather than a new supplier, regardless of performance or features.
We expect competition to intensify in the future as new and existing competitors introduce new solutions into our market. In addition,
some of our competitors have entered into partnerships or other strategic relationships to offer a more comprehensive solution than they
individually had offered. We expect this trend to continue as companies attempt to strengthen or maintain their market positions in an evolving
industry. This competition has resulted in the past and could in the future result in increased pricing pressure, reduced profit margins, increased
sales and marketing expenses, and failure to increase, or the loss of, market share, any of which could harm our business, operating results or
financial condition. Competitors’ offerings may in the future have better performance, better features, lower prices and broader acceptance than
our solutions, or embody new technologies, which could render our existing solutions obsolete or less attractive to customers, or be bundled
with legacy enterprise security and management products as a “one-stop-shop” offering, which certain customers with large installed bases of
those legacy products may prefer. If we fail to keep up with technological changes or to convince our customers and potential customers of the
value of our solutions, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
Changes in features and functionality by operating system providers and mobile device manufacturers could cause us to make short-term
changes in engineering focus or product development or otherwise impair our product development efforts or strategy , increase our costs,
and harm our business.
15
Table of Contents
Our platform depends on interoperability with operating systems, such as those provided by Apple, Google and Microsoft, as well as
device manufacturers. Because mobile operating systems are released more frequently than legacy PC operating systems, and we typically have
limited advance notice of changes in features and functionality of operating systems and mobile devices, we may be forced to divert resources
from our preexisting product roadmap in order to accommodate these changes. As a result of this limited advance notice, we also have a short
time to implement and test changes to our product to accommodate these new features, which increases the risk of product defects. In addition,
if we fail to enable IT departments to support operating system upgrades upon release, our business and reputation could suffer. This could
disrupt our product roadmap and cause us to delay introduction of planned solutions, features and functionality, which could harm our business.
Operating system providers have included, and may continue to include, features and functionality in their operating systems that are
comparable to certain of our solutions, features and/or functionality, thereby making our platform less valuable. The inclusion of, or the
announcement of an intent to include, functionality perceived to be similar to that offered by our mobile IT solutions in mobile operating
systems may have an adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our solutions. Even if the functionality offered by mobile operating system
providers is more limited than our solutions, a significant number of potential customers may elect to accept such limited functionality in lieu of
purchasing our solutions. Furthermore, some of the features and functionality in our solutions require interoperability with operating system
APIs, and if operating system providers decide to restrict our access to their APIs, that functionality would be lost and our business could be
impaired. Finally, we have entered into contractual arrangements with operating systems providers and/or mobile device manufactures, under
which we are obligated to certain development priorities, which can further limit our engineering flexibility.
A failure of our product strategy with regard to mobile application and content management could harm our business.
Our product strategy depends on our existing and potential customers’ continued adoption of our solutions, features and functionality
for both mobile application and mobile content management. Potential slow ramp of customer-built mobile business applications for iOS,
Android and Windows Phone would slow the need and adoption of our platform for mobile application management and security. Additionally,
the value of our AppConnect ecosystem could decrease if competitors’ SDK or app wrapping technologies are perceived to have advantages
over our own, resulting in the loss of ecosystem partners. Customers’ preference for mobile applications could also shift to browser-based
applications that can run on any mobile device through a web browser, which would reduce the value of our mobile application containerization
solution. In addition, operating system providers could act in ways that could harm our mobile content and apps product strategy . For example,
Microsoft recently released an Office suite for iOS and Android and if this application is widely adopted by enterprises for content creation,
storage and management, the value of our own mobile content management solution and the value of our ecosystem of collaboration and storage
partners may diminish. If our product strategy around mobile apps and content management fails or is not as successful as we hope for these or
other reasons, the value of our investment would be lost and our results of operations would be harmed.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods. If we are not able to manage this growth and expansion, our operating results may
suffer.
We have experienced rapid growth in our customer base and have significantly expanded our operations during the past few years. In
particular, we are aggressively investing in additional engineering resources to support and expand both our MobileIron cloud services and on
premise software infrastructure, our associated customer success infrastructure, our global sales and marketing infrastructure and our general
and administrative and other operations infrastructure, including both personnel and facilities. Our employee headcount has increased during
this period and we plan to continue to add new employees as needed in 2015. Our rapid growth has placed, and will continue to place, a
significant strain on our administrative and operational business processes, infrastructure, facilities and other resources. For example, due to the
growth of our operations, we need to relocate and consolidate operations in the Bay Area, where our headquarters is located. Our ability to
manage our operations and growth will require significant expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources to improve internal
business processes and systems. Further international expansion may also be required for our continued business growth, and managing any
international expansion will require additional resources and controls. If we experience increased sales and our operations infrastructure fails to
keep pace with increased sales or support requirements, customers may experience disruptions in service or support, which could adversely
affect our reputation and adversely affect our revenues. There is no guarantee that we will be able to continue to develop and expand our
infrastructure and facilities at the pace necessary to accommodate our growth, and our failure to do so may have an adverse effect on our
business. For example, we are in the process of working with certain of our service provider partners to enable them to develop and sell their
own branded mobile IT cloud service solutions based on our MobileIron cloud-only platform, which could strain our existing technology
operations infrastructure. If we fail to efficiently expand our engineering, sales and marketing, operations, cloud infrastructure, IT and financial
organizations and systems, or if we fail to implement or maintain
16
Table of Contents
effective internal business processes, controls and procedures, our costs and expenses may increase more than we plan or we may fail to execute
on our product roadmap or our business plan, any of which would likely seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Table of Contents
A disruption or security breach of our cloud service could result in liabilities, lost business and reputational harm.
If a customer has deployed our cloud service, we have access to certain data in order to facilitate the operation of the software, such as
the employees’ names, registration credentials, business emails, mobile phone numbers, business contact information and the list of applications
installed on the mobile devices. Any security breaches and computer hacking attacks, whether through third-party action or employee error or
malfeasance, could cause loss of this information, litigation, indemnity obligations and reputational harm. Because techniques used to obtain
unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be
unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Because our software is designed to enable IT
administrators to secure and manage employees’ mobile devices, if an actual or perceived breach of our security occurs and data is
compromised, we would likely suffer particular reputational damage, as well as loss of potential sales and existing customers. In addition,
unexpected increases in demand at one customer using our cloud services may affect the overall service in unanticipated ways and may cause a
disruption in service for other cloud services customers. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, outages and other
performance problems with our cloud service. These problems may be caused by a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human
or software errors, viruses, security attacks, fraud, spikes in customer usage and denial of service issues. If we sustain frequent or prolonged
disruptions of our cloud services for any reason, our reputation, business and results of operations would be seriously harmed.
Defects in our solutions could result in data breaches or other disruption, subject us to substantial liability and harm our business.
Because the mobile IT market involves multiple operating platforms, we provide frequent incremental releases of solution updates and
functional enhancements. Such new versions frequently contain undetected errors when first introduced or released. We have from time to time
found defects in our solutions, and new errors in our existing solutions may be detected in the future. Defects in our solutions may also result in
vulnerability to security attacks, which could result in claims by customers and users for losses that they sustain.
Because our customers use our solutions for important aspects of their business, any errors, defects, disruptions in service or other
performance problems with our solutions could hurt our reputation and may damage our customers’ businesses. If that occurs, our customers
may stop using or fail to expand use of our solutions, delay or withhold payment to us, elect not to renew and make warranty claims or other
claims against us. In addition, we rely on positive customer experience in order to sell to new customers. Defects or disruptions in our solution
could result in reputational harm and loss of future sales. In addition, regardless of the party at fault, errors of these kinds divert the attention of
our engineering personnel from our development efforts, damage our reputation and the reputation of our solutions, cause significant customer
relations problems and can result in product liability claims.
Disruptions of the third-party data centers that host our cloud service could result in delays or outages of our cloud service and harm our
business.
We currently host our cloud service from third-party data center facilities operated by several different providers located around the
world, such as Equinix, Amazon Web Services and Peer 1. Any damage to, or failure of, our cloud service that is hosted by these third parties,
whether as a result of our actions, actions by the third-party data centers, actions by other third parties, or acts of God, could result in
interruptions in our cloud service and/or the loss of data. While the third-party hosting centers host the server infrastructure, we manage the
cloud services through our technological operations team and need to support version control, changes in cloud software parameters and the
evolution of our solutions, all in a multi-OS environment. As we continue to add data centers and capacity in our existing data centers, we may
move or transfer our data and our customers’ data. Despite precautions taken during this process, any unsuccessful data transfers may impair the
delivery of our service. In some cases, we have entered into contractual service level commitments to maintain uptime of at least 99.9% for our
cloud services platform and if we or our third-party data center facilities fail to meet these service level commitments, we may have to issue
service credits to these customers. Impairment of, or interruptions in, our cloud services may reduce our subscription revenues, subject us to
claims and litigation, cause our customers to terminate their subscriptions and adversely affect our subscription renewal rates and our ability to
attract new customers. Our business will also be harmed if our customers and potential customers believe our services are unreliable.
We do not control, or in some cases have limited control over, the operation of the data center facilities we use, and they are vulnerable
to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. They may also be subject
to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct, and to adverse events caused by operator
18
Table of Contents
error. We cannot rapidly switch to new data centers or move customers from one data center to another in the event of any adverse event.
Despite precautions taken at these facilities, the occurrence of a natural disaster, an act of terrorism or other act of malfeasance, a decision to
close the facilities without adequate notice, or other unanticipated problems at these facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in our service
and the loss of customer data and business.
The prices of our solutions may decrease or we may change our licensing or subscription renewal programs or bundling arrangements,
which may reduce our revenue and adversely impact our financial results.
The prices for our solutions may decline for a variety of reasons, including competitive pricing pressures, discounts, a change in our
mix of solutions toward subscription, bundling of solutions, features and functionality by us or our competitors, potential changes in our pricing,
anticipation of the introduction of new solutions, or promotional programs for customers or channel partners. Competition and consolidation
continue to increase in the markets in which we participate, and we expect competition to further increase in the future, leading to increased
pricing pressures. Larger competitors with more diverse product lines may reduce the price of solutions or services that compete with ours or
may bundle their solutions with other solutions and services. Furthermore, we anticipate that the sales prices and gross profits for our solutions
will decrease over product life cycles. If we are unable to increase sales to offset any decline in our prices, our business and results of operations
would be harmed.
We continually re-evaluate our licensing programs and subscription renewal programs, including specific license models and terms
and conditions. We have in the past and could in the future implement new licensing programs and subscription renewal programs or bundling
arrangements, including promotional programs or specified enhancements to our current and future solutions. For example, in 2014 we
introduced per user pricing as an additional pricing option for our customers, which is at a higher list price than our per device pricing. Such
changes could result in deferring revenue recognition re gardless of the date of the initial shipment or licensing of our solutions. Changes to our
licensing programs and subscription renewal programs, including the timing of the release of enhancements, upgrades, maintenance releases,
the term of the contract, discounts, promotions and other factors, could impact the timing of the recognition of revenue for our solutions, related
enhancements and services and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Our ability to sell our solutions is highly dependent on the quality of our support, which is made complex by the requirements of mobile IT.
Our failure to offer high quality support would have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.
Once our solutions are deployed, our customers depend on our support organization or that of our channel partners to resolve any
issues relating to our solutions. If we do not provide effective ongoing support, it would adversely affect our ability to sell our solutions or
increase the number of licenses sold to existing customers. Our customer support is especially critical because the mobile IT market requires
relatively frequent software releases. Mobile IT requires a complex set of features, functionality and controls, which makes support critical and
difficult. In addition, we target companies on the Forbes Global 2000 Leading Companies list, many of whom have complex networks and
require higher levels of support than smaller customers. As customers deploy more licenses and purchase a broader array of our solutions, the
complexity and difficulty of our support obligations increase. If we fail to meet the requirements of the larger customers, it may be more
difficult to increase our deployments either within our existing Global 2000 or other customers or with new Global 2000 customers. We face
additional challenges in supporting our non-U.S. customers, including the need to rely on channel partners to provide support.
We rely substantially on channel partners for the sale and distribution of our solutions and, in some instances, for the support of our
solutions. A loss of certain channel partners, a decrease in revenues from certain of these channel partners or any failure in our channel
strategy could adversely affect our business.
Virtually all of our sales are through channel partners – either telecommunications carriers, which we call service providers, or other
resellers, and thus we depend on our channel partners and on our channel partner strategy for virtually all of our revenue. Our international
resellers often enter into agreements directly with our mutual customers to host the software and provide other value-added services, such as IT
administration.
Our service provider partners often provide support to our customers and enter into similar agreements directly with our mutual
customers to host the software and/or provide other value-added services. Our agreements and operating relationships with our service provider
partners are complex and require a significant commitment of internal time and resources. In addition, our service provider
19
Table of Contents
partners are large corporations with multiple strategic businesses and relationships, and thus our business may not be significant to them in the
overall context of their much larger enterprise. Even if the service provider partner considers us to be an important strategic relationship,
internal processes at these large partners are sometimes difficult and time-consuming to navigate. Thus, any loss of a major channel partner or
failure of our channel strategy could adversely affect our business. AT&T, as a reseller, is our largest service provider partner and was
responsible for 22% (2% as an end customer) of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Our agreements with AT&T and our other channel partners are non-exclusive and most of our channel partners have entered, and may
continue to enter, into strategic relationships with our competitors. Our channel partners may terminate their respective relationships with us
with limited or no notice and with limited or no penalty, pursue other partnerships or relationships, or attempt to develop or acquire solutions or
services that compete with our solutions. If our channel partners do not effectively market and sell our solutions, if they choose to place greater
emphasis on solutions of their own or those offered by our competitors, or if they fail to provide adequate support or otherwise meet the needs
of our customers, our ability to grow our business and sell our solutions may be adversely affected. The loss of our channel partners, in
particular AT&T, the failure to recruit additional channel partners, or any reduction or delay in sales of our solutions by our channel partners
could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
Additionally, we are in the process of working with certain of our service provider partners to enable them to develop and sell their
own branded mobile IT cloud service solutions based on our MobileIron cloud platform. We will need to devote sufficient internal resources to
enable these service providers to be successful in deploying and selling these new service provider-branded cloud service offerings, and this
may strain our resources.
Our sales cycles for large enterprises is often long, unpredictable and expensive. As a result, our sales and revenue are difficult to predict
and may vary substantially from period to period, which may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly.
Our sales efforts involve educating our customers about the use and benefits of our solutions, including the technical capabilities of our
solutions. Many of our large customers have very complex IT systems, mobile environments and data privacy and security requirements.
Accordingly, these customers typically undertake a significant evaluation process, which frequently involves not only our solutions, but also
those of our competitors, and has resulted in lengthy sales cycle. We spend substantial time, money and effort on our sales activities without any
assurance that our efforts will produce any sales. In addition, purchases of our solutions are frequently subject to budget constraints, multiple
approvals, lengthy contract negotiations and unplanned administrative, processing and other delays. Moreover, the evolving nature of the
mobile IT market may lead prospective customers to postpone their purchasing decisions pending adoption of technology by others or pending
potential consolidation in the market. As a result of our lengthy sales cycle, it is difficult to predict whether and when a sale will be completed,
and our operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Even if sales are completed, the revenues we receive from these
customers may not be sufficient to offset our upfront investments.
We seek to sell our solutions to large enterprises. Sales to and support of these types of enterprises involve risks that could harm our
business, financial position and results of operations.
Our growth strategy is dependent, in part, upon increasing sales of our solutions to large enterprises. Sales to large customers involve
risks that may not be present (or that are present to a lesser extent) with sales to smaller entities. These risks include:
(cid:1) more complicated network requirements, which result in more difficult and time-consuming implementation processes;
(cid:1) more intense and time-consuming customer support practices;
(cid:1) increased purchasing power and leverage held by large customers in negotiating contractual arrangements with us;
(cid:1) more customer-favorable contractual terms, including penalties;
(cid:1) longer sales cycles and the associated risk that substantial time and resources may be spent on a potential customer that
ultimately elects not to purchase our solution or purchases fewer licenses than we had anticipated;
20
Table of Contents
(cid:1) closer relationships with, and dependence upon, large technology companies that offer competitive solutions;
(cid:1) increased reputational risk as a result of data breaches or other problems involving high profile customers; and
(cid:1) more pressure for discounts.
If we are unable to increase sales of our solutions to large enterprises while mitigating the risks associated with serving such
customers, our business, financial position and results of operations may suffer.
Our failure to comply with privacy laws and standards could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Personal privacy has become a significant issue in the United States and in many other countries where we offer our solutions. The
regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is currently evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many
federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws and regulations regarding the
collection, use, disclosure and retention of personal information. In the United States, these include, for example, rules and regulations
promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA,
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and state breach notification laws. Internationally, different jurisdictions have a variety of data security and
privacy laws, with which we or our customers must comply, including the Data Protection Directive established in the European Union and the
Federal Data Protection Act in Germany.
In addition to laws and regulations, privacy advocacy and industry groups or other private parties may propose new and different
privacy standards. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws and privacy standards are still uncertain, it is
possible that these laws or privacy standards may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management
practices or the features of our solutions. Any inability to adequately address privacy concerns, even if unfounded, or to comply with applicable
privacy or data protection laws, regulations and privacy standards, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation,
inhibit sales of our solutions and harm our business.
Our failure to adequately protect personal information and to maintain the security of enterprise data could have a material adverse effect
on our business.
Employee adoption of mobile initiatives depends on the credible and clear separation of enterprise applications and data and personal
information on the device, as well as the privacy of such data. For our customers, it is also essential to maintain the security of enterprise data
properly while retaining the native experience users expect. While we contractually obligate our customers to make the required disclosures and
gain the required consents from their employees in order to comply with applicable law regarding the processing of personally identifiable
information that the employer may access, we do not control whether they in fact do so, and in some jurisdictions such employee consent may
not be enforceable. Any claim by an employee that his or her employer had not complied with applicable privacy laws in connection with the
deployment and use of our software on the employee’s mobile device could harm our reputation and business and subject us to liability, whether
or not warranted. If our solutions fail to adequately separate personal information and to maintain the security of enterprise applications and
data, the market perception of the effectiveness of our solutions could be harmed, employee adoption of mobile initiatives could be slowed, we
could lose potential sales and existing customers, and we could incur significant liabilities. Privacy concerns, whether valid or not, may inhibit
market adoption of our solutions, particularly in certain industries and foreign countries. Furthermore, the recent attention garnered by the
National Security Agency’s bulk intelligence collection programs may result in further concerns surrounding privacy and technology products.
The loss of key personnel or an inability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel may impair our ability to expand our business.
Our success is substantially dependent upon the continued service and performance of our senior management team and key technical,
marketing and production personnel, including our senior management, and specifically Robert Tinker, who is our President and Chief
Executive Officer. Our employees, including our senior management team, are at-will employees, and therefore may terminate
21
Table of Contents
employment with us at any time with no advance notice. The replacement of any members of our senior management team or other key
personnel likely would involve significant time and costs and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.
Our future success also depends, in part, on our ability to continue to attract, integrate and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition
for highly skilled personnel is frequently intense, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, where we have a substantial presence and need for
highly skilled personnel, including, in particular, engineers. We must offer competitive compensation and opportunities for professional growth
in order to attract and retain these highly skilled employees. Failure to successfully attract, integrate, or retain qualified personnel to fulfill our
current or future needs may negatively impact our growth.
We may acquire other businesses which could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and
adversely affect our operating results.
As part of our business strategy, we may make investments in complementary companies, solutions or technologies. We may not be
able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete such acquisitions on favorable terms, if at all. If we do complete
acquisitions, we may not ultimately strengthen our competitive position or achieve our goals. In addition, if we are unsuccessful at integrating
such acquisitions or developing the acquired technologies, the revenue and operating results of the combined company could be adversely
affected. For example, during 2013, we recorded a $3.9 million impairment loss in connection with a delayed technology project from an
acquisition. Further, the integration of an acquired company typically requires significant time and resources, and we may not be able to manage
the process successfully. We may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired technology or personnel or accurately forecast the financial
impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. We may have to pay cash, incur debt or issue equity securities to pay for any
such acquisition, each of which could adversely affect our financial condition or the value of our common stock. The sale of equity or issuance
of debt to finance any such acquisitions could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased
fixed obligations and could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations.
We have indemnity obligations under our contracts with our customers and channel partners which could have a material adverse effect on
our business.
The mobile industry has been characterized by substantial patent infringement lawsuits. In our agreements with customers and channel
partners, we typically agree to indemnify them for losses related to, among other things, claims by third parties of intellectual property
infringement and sometimes data breaches resulting in the compromise of personal data. If any such indemnification obligations are triggered,
we could face substantial liabilities or be forced to make changes to our solutions or terminate our customer agreements and refund monies. In
addition, provisions regarding limitation of liability in our agreements with customers or channel partners may not be enforceable in some
circumstances or jurisdictions or may not protect us from claims and related liabilities and costs. We maintain insurance to protect against
certain types of claims associated with the use of our solutions, but our insurance may not adequately cover any such claims. In addition, even
claims that ultimately are unsuccessful could result in expenditures of and divert management’s time and other resources. Furthermore, any
legal claims from customers and channel partners could result in reputational harm and the delay or loss of market acceptance of our solutions.
A portion of our revenues are generated by sales to heavily regulated organizations and governmental entities, which are subject to a
number of challenges and risks.
Some of our customers are either in highly regulated industries or are governmental entities and may be required to comply with more
stringent regulations in connection with the implementation and use of our solutions. Selling to these entities can be highly competitive,
expensive and time consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense without any assurance that we will successfully complete a
sale or that the organization will deploy our solution at scale. Highly regulated and governmental entities often require contract terms that differ
from our standard arrangements and impose compliance requirements that are complicated, require preferential pricing or “most favored nation”
terms and conditions, or are otherwise time-consuming and expensive to satisfy. Government demand and payment for our solutions and
services may be impacted by public sector budgetary cycles and funding authorizations, particularly in light of U.S. budgetary challenges, with
funding reductions or delays adversely affecting public sector demand for our solutions. The additional costs associated with providing our
solutions to governmental entities and highly regulated customers could harm
22
Table of Contents
our margins. Moreover, changes in the underlying regulatory conditions that affect these types of customers could harm our ability to efficiently
provide our solutions to them and to grow or maintain our customer base.
If our solutions do not interoperate with our customers’ IT infrastructure, sales of our solutions could be negatively affected.
Our solutions are designed to interoperate with our customers’ existing IT infrastructures, which have varied and complex
specifications. As a result, we must attempt to ensure that our solutions interoperate effectively with these different, complex and varied back-
end environments. To meet these requirements, we have and must continue to undertake development and testing efforts that require significant
capital and employee resources. We may not accomplish these development efforts quickly or cost-effectively, or at all. If our solutions do not
interoperate effectively, orders for our solutions could be delayed or cancelled, which would harm our revenues, gross margins and reputation,
potentially resulting in the loss of existing and potential customers. The failure of our solutions to interoperate effectively within the enterprise
environment may divert the attention of our engineering personnel from our development efforts and cause significant customer relations
problems. In addition, if our customers are unable to implement our solutions successfully, they may not renew or expand their deployments of
our solutions, customer perceptions of our solutions may be impaired and our reputation and brand may suffer.
Although technical problems experienced by users may not be caused by our solutions, our business and reputation may be harmed if users
perceive our solutions as the cause of a device failure.
The ability of our solutions to operate effectively can be negatively impacted by many different elements unrelated to our solutions.
For example, a user’s experience may suffer from an incorrect setting in his or her mobile device, an issue relating to his or her employer’s
corporate network or an issue relating to the underlying mobile operating system, none of which we control. Even though technical problems
experienced by users may not be caused by our solutions, users often perceive the underlying cause to be a result of poor performance of our
solution. This perception, even if incorrect, could harm our business and reputation.
Our customers may exceed their licensed device or user count, and it is sometimes difficult to collect payments as a result of channel
logistics, which could harm our business, financial position and results of operations.
Our customers license our solutions on either a per-device or per-user basis. Because we sell virtually all of our solutions through
channel partners, and in some cases multiple tiers of channel partners, the logistics of collecting payments for excess usage can sometimes be
time-consuming. We may also encounter difficulty collecting accounts receivable and could be exposed to risks associated with uncollectible
accounts receivable. Economic conditions may impact some of our customers’ ability to pay their accounts payable. If we are unable to collect
from our customers for their excess usage or otherwise or if we have to write down our accounts receivable, our revenues and operating results
would suffer.
If the market for our solutions shrinks or does not continue to develop as we expect, our growth prospects may be harmed.
The success of our business depends on the continued growth and proliferation of mobile IT infrastructure as an increasingly important
computing platform for businesses. Our business plan assumes that the demand for mobile IT solutions will increase. However, the mobile IT
market may not develop as quickly as we expect, or at all, and businesses may not continue to elect to utilize mobile IT solutions. This market
for our solutions may not develop for a variety of reasons, including that larger, more established companies will enter the market or that mobile
operating system companies will offer substantially similar functionality. Accordingly, demand for our solutions may not continue to develop as
we anticipate, or at all, and the growth of our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, because we derive
substantially all of our revenue from the adoption and use of our platform, a decline in the mobile IT market would harm the results of our
business operations more seriously than if we derived significant revenue from a variety of other products and services.
23

Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we
compete achieve the forecasted growth, we cannot assure you our business will grow at similar rates, if at all.
Growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates, which may not prove to be
accurate. Forecasts relating to our market opportunity and the expected growth in the mobile IT market and other markets may prove to be
inaccurate. Even if these markets experience the forecasted growth, we may not grow our business at similar rates, or at all. Our growth will be
affected by many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties.
Seasonality may cause fluctuations in our revenue.
We believe there are significant seasonal factors that may cause us to record higher revenue in some quarters compared with others.
We believe this variability is largely due to our customers’ budgetary and spending patterns, as many customers spend the unused portions of
their discretionary budgets prior to the end of their fiscal years. For example, we have historically recorded our highest level of total revenue in
our fourth quarter, which we believe corresponds to the fourth quarter of a majority of our customers. In addition, the type of budget (operating
versus capital) available to a customer may affect its decision to purchase a perpetual license or a subscription license. In addition, our rapid
growth rate over the last two years may have made seasonal fluctuations more difficult to detect. If our rate of growth slows over time, seasonal
or cyclical variations in our operations may become more pronounced, and our business, results of operations and financial position may be
adversely affected.
Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, fire, floods and other natural catastrophic events, and to interruption by manmade
problems such as network security breaches, computer viruses or terrorism.
Our corporate headquarters are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for seismic activity. A significant natural
disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or flood, occurring near our headquarters could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating
results and financial condition. Despite the implementation of network security measures, our networks also may be vulnerable to computer
viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. In addition, natural disasters, acts of terrorism or war could cause
disruptions in our or our customers’ businesses or the economy as a whole. We also rely on information technology systems to communicate
among our workforce and with third parties. Any disruption to our communications or systems, whether caused by a natural disaster or by
manmade problems, such as power disruptions, could adversely affect our business.
If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal controls 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 common stock may be negatively affected.
As a public company, we are required to maintain internal controls over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in
such internal controls. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) requires that we furnish a report by
management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the first year ending December 31,
2015. Management’s assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified in our internal controls over financial
reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over
financial reporting until our first annual report required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, following the later of
the date we are deemed to be an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer,” each as defined in the Exchange Act, or the date we are no
longer an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. If we have a material weakness in our internal controls 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 controls 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 controls 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 controls over financial reporting are
effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls
over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, and the market price of our
common stock could be negatively affected. In addition, we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our
securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.
24
Table of Contents
If our estimates relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions or judgments that change or prove to be incorrect, our
operating results could fall below expectations of financial analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and
judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Our operating results may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our
assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of financial analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in
our stock price. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue
recognition, stock-based compensation and income taxes.
Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets would result in a decrease in earnings.
Current accounting rules require that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead be tested for impairment at least annually. These rules also require that intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over
their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events and circumstances considered in determining
whether the carrying value of amortizable intangible assets and goodwill may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to, significant
changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in the use of the assets, significant negative industry or
economic trends, or a significant decline in our stock price and/or market capitalization for a sustained period of time. To the extent such
evaluation indicates that the useful lives of intangible assets are different than originally estimated, the amortization period is reduced or
extended and the quarterly amortization expense is increased or decreased. In 2013, we recorded a $3.9 million impairment loss in connection
with a delayed technology project from an acquisition, and we may be required to record similar impairment charges in the future. Any
impairment charges or changes to the estimated amortization periods could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
Risks Related to Our International Operations
Our international operations expose us to additional business risks, and failure to manage these risks may adversely affect our international
revenue.
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from customers outside the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013
and 2012, 45%, 44% and 40% of our revenue, respectively, was attributable to our international customers, primarily those located in EMEA.
As of December 31, 2014, approximately 28% of our employees were located abroad.
We expect that our international activities will be dynamic over the foreseeable future as we continue to pursue opportunities in
international markets, which will require significant management attention and financial resources. Therefore, we are subject to risks associated
with having worldwide operations.
We have a limited history of marketing, selling and supporting our solutions internationally. As a result, we must hire and train
experienced personnel to staff and manage our foreign operations. To the extent that we experience difficulties in recruiting, training, managing
and retaining an international staff, and specifically staff related to sales and engineering, we may experience difficulties in foreign markets. In
addition, business practices in the international markets that we serve may differ from those in the United States and may require us to include
non-standard terms in customer contracts, such as extended warranty terms. To the extent that we may enter into customer contracts in the
future that include non-standard terms related to payment, warranties or performance obligations, our operating results may be adversely
affected. International operations are subject to other inherent risks, and our future results could be adversely affected by a number of factors,
including:
(cid:1) difficulties in executing an international channel partners strategy;
(cid:1) heightened concerns and legal requirements relating to data and privacy;
25
Table of Contents
(cid:1) burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws;
(cid:1) unfavorable contractual terms or difficulties in negotiating contracts with foreign customers or channel partners as a result of
varying and complex laws and contractual norms;
(cid:1) difficulties in providing support and training to channel partners and customers in foreign countries and languages;
(cid:1) heightened risks of unfair or corrupt business practices in certain geographies and of improper or fraudulent sales
arrangements that may impact financial results or result in fines and penalties;
(cid:1) import restrictions and the need to comply with export laws;
(cid:1) difficulties in protecting intellectual property;
(cid:1) difficulties in enforcing contracts and longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
(cid:1) difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations;
(cid:1) potentially adverse tax consequences;
(cid:1) the increased cost of terminating employees in some countries; and
(cid:1) variability of foreign economic, political and labor conditions.
As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and manage
effectively these and other risks associated with our international operations. Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm
our international operations and reduce our international sales, adversely affecting our business, operating results and financial condition.
We rely on channel partners to sell our solutions in international markets, the loss of which could materially reduce our revenue.
We sell our solutions in international markets almost entirely through channel partners. We believe that establishing and maintaining
successful relationships with these channel partners is, and will continue to be, critical to our financial success. Recruiting and retaining
qualified channel partners and training them to be knowledgeable about our solutions requires significant time and resources. In some countries,
we rely on a sole or very few channel partners and thus the loss of the channel partner could have a significant impact on our sales and support
in those countries. To develop and expand our distribution channel, we must continue to scale and improve our processes and procedures that
support our channel, including investment in systems and training. In particular, foreign-based service provider partners are large and complex
businesses, and we may have difficulty negotiating and building successful business relationships with them.
In addition, existing and future channel partners will only partner with us if we are able to provide them with competitive offerings on
terms that are commercially reasonable to them. If we fail to maintain the quality of our solutions or to update and enhance them or to offer
them at competitive discounts, existing and future channel partners may elect to partner with one or more of our competitors. In addition, the
terms of our arrangements with our channel partners must be commercially reasonable for both parties. If we are unable to reach agreements
that are beneficial to both parties, then our channel partner relationships will not succeed.
If we fail to maintain relationships with our channel partners, fail to develop new relationships with other channel partners in new
markets, fail to manage, train or incentivize existing channel partners effectively, or fail to provide channel partners with competitive solutions
on terms acceptable to them, or if these partners are not successful in their sales efforts, our revenue may decrease and our operating results
could suffer.
26
Table of Contents
We have no long-term contracts or minimum purchase commitments with any of our channel partners, and our contracts with channel
partners do not prohibit them from offering solutions that compete with ours, including solutions they currently offer or may develop in the
future and incorporate into their own systems. Some of our competitors may have stronger relationships with our channel partners than we do,
and we have limited control, if any, as to whether those partners sell our solutions, rather than our competitors’ solutions, or whether they
devote resources to market and support our competitors’ solutions, rather than our solutions. Our failure to establish and maintain successful
relationships with channel partners could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws associated with our activities outside the United States could
subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
A significant portion of our revenues is, and will continue to be, from jurisdictions outside of the United States. As a result, we are
subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, which generally prohibits U.S. companies and their intermediaries from making
payments to corrupt foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment, and requires
companies to maintain adequate record-keeping and internal accounting practices to accurately reflect the transactions of the company. The
FCPA applies to companies, individual directors, officers, employees and agents. Under the FCPA, we may be held liable for actions taken by
strategic or local partners or representatives. In addition, the government may seek to hold us liable for successor liability FCPA violations
committed by companies that we acquire.
In many foreign countries, particularly in countries with developing economies, including many countries in which we operate, it may
be a local custom that businesses operating in such countries engage in business practices that are prohibited by the FCPA or other similar laws
and regulations. Although we have contractual provisions in our agreements with channel partners that require them to comply with the FCPA
and similar laws, we have not engaged in formal FCPA training of our channel partners. Our channel partners could take actions in violation of
our policies, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. As a result of our focus on managing our rapid growth, our development of
infrastructure designed to identify FCPA matters and monitor compliance is at an early stage. If we or our intermediaries fail to comply with the
requirements of the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws, governmental authorities in the U.S. or elsewhere could seek to impose civil and/or
criminal penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.
We are subject to export controls, and our customers and channel partners are subject to import controls.
Certain of our solutions are subject to U.S. export controls and may be exported to certain countries outside the U.S. only by first
obtaining an export license from the U.S. government, or by utilizing an existing export license exception, or after clearing U.S. government
agency review. Obtaining the necessary export license or accomplishing a U.S. government review for a particular export may be time-
consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions prohibit the
shipment of certain solutions to U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments and persons. If we were to fail to comply with U.S.
export law requirements, U.S. customs regulations, U.S. economic sanctions or other applicable U.S. laws, we could be subject to substantial
civil and criminal penalties, including fines, incarceration for responsible employees and managers and the possible loss of export or import
privileges. U.S. export controls, sanctions and regulations apply to our channel partners as well as to us. Any failure by our channel partners to
comply with such laws, regulations or sanctions could have negative consequences, including reputational harm, government investigations and
penalties.
In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain encryption and other technology by requiring an import permit,
authorization, pre-classification, import certification and/or an import license. Some countries have enacted laws that could limit our customers’
ability to implement our solutions in those countries.
Changes in our solutions or changes in export and import regulations may create delays in the introduction of our solutions into
international markets, prevent our customers with international operations from deploying our solutions globally or, in some cases, prevent the
export or import of our solutions to certain countries, governments or persons altogether. In addition, any change in export or import
regulations, economic sanctions or related legislation, shift in the enforcement or scope of existing regulations, or change in the countries,
governments, persons or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our solutions by, or in our decreased ability
to export or sell our solutions to, existing or potential customers with international operations. Any decreased use of our solutions
27
Table of Contents
or limitation on our ability to export or sell our solutions would likely adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
We have been sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights and may be sued in the future.
There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our success depends in part on not
infringing the intellectual property rights of others. From time to time, our competitors or other third parties have claimed, and we expect they
will continue in the future to claim, that we are infringing their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing such rights. On
November 14, 2012, Good Technology filed a lawsuit against us in federal court in the Northern District of California, alleging false and
misleading representations concerning their products and infringement of four patents held by them. On March 1, 2013, we counterclaimed
against Good Technology for patent infringement of one of our patents. On October 13, 2014, the court issued a claims construction order.
Good Technology responded by filing new patent infringement suits against us in Delaware and internationally, and we have counterclaimed
against them in the Delaware case on two of our next generation patents. We are contesting Good Technology’s claims vigorously. Discovery is
ongoing in the California patent case, and a trial date has been set for July 2015. The final outcome, including our liability, if any, with respect
to Good Technology’s claims, is uncertain. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and
settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
In the future, we may receive additional claims that our solutions infringe or violate the claimant’s intellectual property rights.
However, we may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our solutions. Any claims or litigation
could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing
royalty payments, prevent us from offering our solutions, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. If any of our customers are
sued, we would in general be required to defend and/or settle the litigation on their behalf. In addition, if we are unable to obtain licenses or
modify our solutions to make them non-infringing, we might have to refund a portion of perpetual license fees paid to us and terminate those
agreements, which could further exhaust our resources. In addition, we may pay substantial settlement amounts or royalties on future solution
sales to resolve claims or litigation, whether or not legitimately or successfully asserted against us. Even if we were to prevail in the actual or
potential claims or litigation against us, any claim or litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and
divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. Such disputes, with or without merit, could also cause
potential customers to refrain from purchasing our solutions or otherwise cause us reputational harm.
We have been sued by non-practicing entities, or NPEs, for patent infringement in the past and may be sued by NPEs in the future.
While we have settled such litigation in the past, these lawsuits, with or without merit, require management attention and can be expensive.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed or we could be required to incur
significant expenses to enforce our rights.
Our ability to compete effectively is dependent in part upon our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We protect our
proprietary information and technology through licensing agreements, third-party nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions, as
well as through patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries. There can be no
assurance that these protections will be available in all cases or will be adequate to prevent our competitors from copying, reverse engineering
or otherwise obtaining and using our technology, proprietary rights or solutions. The laws of some foreign countries, including countries in
which our solutions are sold, may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States, and mechanisms for
enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. In addition, third parties may seek to challenge, invalidate or circumvent our
patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, or applications for any of the foregoing. There can be no assurance that our competitors will
not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology or design around our proprietary rights. In
each case, our ability to compete could be significantly impaired.
To prevent substantial unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights, it may be necessary to prosecute actions for infringement
and/or misappropriation of our proprietary rights against third parties. Any such action could result in significant costs and diversion of our
resources and management’s attention, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such action.

Table of Contents
Furthermore, many of our current and potential competitors have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to enforce their
intellectual property rights than we do. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or
misappropriating our intellectual property.
Our use of open source software could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our solutions.
Our solutions contain software modules licensed for use from third-party authors under open source licenses, including the GNU
Public License, the GNU Lesser Public License, the Apache License and others. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater
risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections
regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. Some open source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code
for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open source software we use. If we combine our proprietary solutions
with open source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain of the open source licenses, be required to release the source code of our
proprietary solutions to the public or offer our solutions to users at no cost. This could allow our competitors to create similar solutions with
lower development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of sales for us.
The terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be
construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our solutions. In such event, we
could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our solutions, to re-engineer our solutions or to discontinue the
sale of our solutions in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, any of which could materially and adversely affect
our business and operating results.
Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an
“ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses, or NOLs, to offset future taxable income.
Our existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of
which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may
acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs,
or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. For these
reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of the NOLs reflected on our balance sheet, even if we attain profitability.
The price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The trading price of our common stock has been volatile since our Initial Public Offering and is likely to continue to be volatile. The
trading price of our common stock following the Initial Public Offering depends on a number of factors, including those described in this “Risk
Factors” section, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause
you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock, because you might be unable to sell your shares at or above the price you paid.
Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include the following:
(cid:1) failure to meet quarterly guidance with regard to revenue or other key metrics;
(cid:1) price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;
(cid:1) volatility in the market prices and trading volumes of high technology stocks;
(cid:1) changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology companies generally, or those in our
industry in particular;
(cid:1) sales of shares of our common stock by us or our stockholders;
29
Table of Contents
(cid:1) failure of financial analysts to maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any analysts who follow our
company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
(cid:1) announcements by us or our competitors of new products or new or terminated significant contracts, commercial relationships
or capital commitments;
(cid:1) the public’s reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC;
(cid:1) rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;
(cid:1) actual or anticipated changes in our results of operations or fluctuations in our operating results;
(cid:1) actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;
(cid:1) litigation involving us, our industry or both, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors;
(cid:1) developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary rights;
(cid:1) announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;
(cid:1) new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
(cid:1) changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles;
(cid:1) any major change in our management;
(cid:1) general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of our markets; and
(cid:1) other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events.
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and
volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and
industry factors may seriously affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the
past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of particular companies’ securities, securities class action
litigation has often been instituted against these companies. Litigation of this type, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a
diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
If financial or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion
regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish
about us or our business. We do not control these analysts or the content and opinions included in their reports. As a new public company, we
may be slow to attract research coverage and the analysts who publish information about our common stock will have had relatively little
experience with our company, which could affect their ability to accurately forecast our results and make it more likely that we fail to meet their
estimates. In the event we obtain industry or financial analyst coverage, or if any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading
opinion regarding our stock price, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to
publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to
decline.

Table of Contents
Insiders continue to have substantial control over our company, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions,
including a change of control.
Our directors, executive officers and each of our stockholders who own greater than 5% of our outstanding common stock and their
affiliates, in the aggregate, own approximately 59 % of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2014. As a result, these
stockholders, if acting together, will be able to influence or control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of
directors and the approval of mergers, acquisitions or other extraordinary transactions. They may also have interests that differ from yours and
may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of
delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for
their common stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common stock.
We may fail to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business and future operating results, which would
cause our stock price to decline.
We have provided and may continue to provide guidance about our business and future operating results as part of our press releases,
conference calls or otherwise. In developing this guidance, our management must make certain assumptions and judgments about our future
performance. Our business results may vary significantly from such guidance due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our
control, and which could adversely affect our operations and operating results. Furthermore, if our publicly announced guidance of future
operating results fails to meet expectations of securities analysts, investors or other interested parties, the price of our common stock would
decline.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and
retain qualified board members.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank
Act, the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Stock Market and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these
rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and
increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current
reports with respect to our business and operating results.
We also expect that being a public company will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and
we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more
difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our
audit committee and compensation committee.
We are an “Emerging Growth Company,” and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced disclosure requirements
applicable to Emerging Growth Companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act enacted in April 2012, and, for as long as we continue to be an
“emerging growth company,” we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public
companies, but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 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 will remain an “emerging growth company” until the
earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the year in which we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a “large
accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the date on which we have issued, in any three-year
period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) the last day of the year ending after the fifth anniversary of the
completion of our initial public offering. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these
exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less
active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Our future capital needs are uncertain, and we may need to raise additional funds in the future. If we require additional funds in the future,
those funds may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
We may need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to:
(cid:1) fund our operations;
(cid:1) continue our research and development;
(cid:1) develop and commercialize new solutions; or
(cid:1) acquire companies, in-licensed solutions or intellectual property.
Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:
(cid:1) market acceptance of our solutions;
(cid:1) the cost of our research and development activities;
(cid:1) the cost of defending and resolving, in litigation or otherwise, claims that we infringe third-party patents or violate other
intellectual property rights;
(cid:1) the cost and timing of establishing additional sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
(cid:1) the cost and timing of establishing additional technical support capabilities;
(cid:1) the effect of competing technological and market developments; and
(cid:1) the market for different types of funding and overall economic conditions.
We may require additional funds in the future, and we may not be able to obtain those funds on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise
additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants
restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Any debt or additional equity financing that we raise may contain terms that are
not favorable to us or our stockholders.
If we do not have, or are not able to obtain, sufficient funds, we may have to delay development or commercialization of our solutions.
If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to liquidate some or all of our assets, or delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate some or
all of our development programs. We also may have to reduce marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our solutions or cease
operations. Any of these actions could harm our operating results.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that these sales might occur, could reduce the
price that our common stock might otherwise attain and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could
adversely affect the market price of our common stock and may make it more difficult for you to sell your common stock at a time and price
that you deem appropriate. Based on the total number of outstanding shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2014, we have 76,153,844
shares of common stock outstanding, notwithstanding any potential exercises of our outstanding stock options.
In the future, we may issue additional shares of common stock, or securities with convertible features into our common stock, from
time to time in connection with our employee equity plans, financings, acquisitions and investments or otherwise. For example, in the fourth
quarter of 2014 we began issuing RSUs to employees, the majority of which vest quarterly over four years, beginning May 20,
32
Table of Contents
2015. In first quarter of 2015 we established the 2015 Executive Bonus Plan and the 2015 Non-executive Bonus Plan, or “Bonus Plans”, to be
settled in our common stock. If the business metrics for the issuance of the stock bonuses are met, we would expect a meaningful number of
shares to be issued in early 2016 as a result. These and any other issuance s could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and
cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
Certain provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our
board of directors or current management and limit the market price of our common stock.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes
in our management. These provisions include the following:
(cid:1) our board of directors has the right to elect directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the 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;
(cid:1) 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 capital stock would not be able to take certain actions other than at annual stockholders’ meetings
or special stockholders’ meetings called by the board of directors, the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer or the
president;
(cid:1) our certificate of incorporation prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority
stockholders to elect director candidates;
(cid:1) stockholders must provide advance notice and additional disclosures in order to nominate individuals for election to the board
of directors or to propose matters that can be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, 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; and
(cid:1) our board of directors may issue, without stockholder approval, shares of undesignated preferred stock; the ability to issue
undesignated preferred stock 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.
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to certain Delaware anti-takeover provisions. Under Delaware law, a corporation may
not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or,
among other things, the board of directors has approved the transaction. Our board of directors could rely on Delaware law to prevent or delay
an acquisition of our company.
Certain of our executive officers may be entitled to accelerated vesting of their stock options pursuant to the terms of their employment
arrangements under certain conditions following a change of control of the Company. In addition to the arrangements currently in place with
some of our executive officers, we may enter into similar arrangements in the future with other officers. Such arrangements could delay or
discourage a potential acquisition of the Company.

Reverse Stock Split
On May 27, 2014, we amended and restated our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a seven-for-five reverse stock
split of our common stock and convertible preferred stock. On the effective date of the reverse stock split, (i) each seven shares of outstanding
convertible preferred stock and common stock was reduced to five shares of convertible preferred stock and common stock, respectively; (ii) the
number of shares of common stock issuable under each outstanding option to purchase common stock was proportionately reduced on a seven-
for-five basis; (iii) the exercise price of each outstanding option to purchase common stock was proportionately increased on a seven-for-five
basis; and (iv) corresponding adjustments in the per share conversion prices, dividend rates and liquidation preferences of the convertible
preferred stock were made. All of the share and per share information referenced throughout these consolidated financial statements and notes
to the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.
Issuance of Common Stock and Use of Proceeds
In June 2014, we closed our initial public offering, or IPO, in which we sold 12,777,777 shares of common stock at a price to the public
of $9.00 per share including 1,666,666 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option.
The aggregate offering price for shares sold in the offering was approximately $115 million. The offer and sale of all of the shares in the IPO
were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-195089), which were declared or
became effective on June 12, 2014. The offering commenced as of June 12, 2014 and did not terminate before all of the securities registered in
the registration statement were sold. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Deutsche Bank Securities, Barclays, Raymond James,
Stifel, Nomura and Blackstone Capital Markets acted as the underwriters. We raised approximately $102.9 million in net proceeds after
deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $8. 0 million and other offering expenses of approximately $4.1 million.
Upon the closing of the initial public offering, all shares of our outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically were converted
into 49,646,975 shares of common stock.
There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on
June 12, 2014 pursuant to Rule 424(b). We invested a portion of the funds received in registered money market funds and fixed income
investments. We refer our readers to Note 4 entitled “Investments” in Item 8 , “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of Part II of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Holders of Record and Dividends
As of December 31, 2014, there were 126 holders of record of our common stock. Because many of our shares are held by brokers and
other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders. We
have never declared or paid, and do not anticipate declaring or paying in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends on our capital stock. Any
future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to
applicable laws, and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital
requirements, business prospects, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant .

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical financial
information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results
could differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these
differences include those under “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A or in other parts of this report.
Overview
We invented a purpose-built mobile IT platform for enterprises to secure and manage mobile applications, or apps, content and devices
while providing their employees with device choice, privacy and a native user experience. Customers use our platform as the technology
foundation in their journey to become “Mobile First” organizations, embracing mobility as a primary computing platform for their employees.
Mobile First organizations transform their businesses by giving their employees secure access to critical business applications and content on
devices employees want with a native user experience they love. Our platform is extensible and fosters a growing ecosystem of application
developers and technology partners who augment the functionality and add value to our platform, creating positive network effects for our
customers, our ecosystem and our company.

Our mobile IT platform addresses the requirements across all phases of customers’ journeys to become Mobile First organizations. It
provides value to both end-users and IT departments. End-users get apps and content that they need to get their job done on the mobile device of
their choice with the native device experience. Enterprise IT departments get a security and management platform that easily integrates into
their existing IT or cloud infrastructure and allows them to protect and manage corporate data and apps, independent of the mobile device, for
both corporate-owned, bring your own device, or BYOD, and mixed device ownership environments.
Our business model is based on winning new customers, expanding sales within existing customers, upselling new products and renewing
subscriptions and software support agreements. We win customers using a sales force that works closely with our channel partners, including
resellers, service providers and system integrators. We have experienced rapid growth in our customer base, having sold our platform to over
8,000 customers since 2009. No single end user of our products accounted for more than 5% of our total revenue in 2014.
We derive revenue from sales of our software solutions to customers, which are sold either (i) on a perpetual license basis with annual
software support when deployed on premise or (ii) on a subscription basis as a cloud service or when deployed on premise. The majority of our
revenue to date has been sales of perpetual licenses of our platform and related annual software support, with the subscription revenue being an
increasing portion of our revenue. Revenue from subscription and perpetual licenses represented approximately 23% and 50%, respectively, of
total revenue in 2014. The balance, constituting 27% of total revenue in 2014, was software support and services revenue, including revenue
from agreements to provide software upgrades and updates, as well as technical support, to customers with perpetual software licenses. When
we sell our solutions on a subscription basis, we generally offer a one-year term and bill customers in advance. A portion of our revenues from
service providers is based on active subscriptions on a monthly basis. We include this revenue in subscription revenue and refer to this revenue
as monthly recurring charge, or MRC. We have experienced growth of MRC revenue each quarter since the first quarter of 2012. Our MRC
revenue comprised approximately 9% and 6% of our total revenue in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods. Our gross billings were $145.7 million, $100.8 million and $68.0 million in 2014,
2013 and 2012, respectively, representing growth rates of 45% from 2013 to 2014 and 48% from 2012 to 2013. See “Key Metrics and Non-
GAAP Financial Information” for more information and a reconciliation of gross billings to total revenue. Because we had not established
vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value of software support and services prior to January 1, 2013, we recognized perpetual
license revenue ratably over the term of the related software support agreement. Upon establishing vendor specific objective evidence, or
VSOE, on January 1, 2013, we began to recognize perpetual license revenue upon delivery assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have
been met. As a result, our total revenue includes amounts related to licenses delivered in previous years. In 2014 and 2013, $5.2 million and
$21.1 million, respectively, was recognized as revenue from perpetual licenses that were delivered prior to 2013. Excluding revenue from
perpetual licenses delivered prior to 2013, our total revenue was $127.1 million and $84.5 million in 2014 and 2013 respectively.
We sell a significant portion of our products through our channel partners, including resellers, service providers and system integrators.
Our sales force develops sales opportunities and works closely with our channel partners to sell our solutions. We have a high touch sales force
focused on the Forbes Global 2000 Leading Companies list, inside sales teams focused on mid-sized enterprises and sales teams that work with
service providers that focus on smaller businesses. We prioritize our internal sales and marketing efforts on potential customers that are
members of the Forbes Global 2000 Leading Companies list because we believe that they represent the largest potential opportunity. As of
December 31, 2014, our channel partners included over 400 mobile-focused resellers, over 40 service providers and a small number of systems
integrators.
We believe that our market opportunity is large and global and sales to customers outside of the United States will remain a significant
opportunity for future growth. In 2014, 2013 and 2012, 45%, 44% and 40% of our total revenue, respectively, was generated from customers
located outside of the United States, primarily those located in EMEA. International market trends that may affect sales of our products and
services include heightened concerns and legal requirements relating to data security and privacy, the importance of execution on our
international channel partners strategy, and the importance of recruiting and retaining sufficient international personnel.
Over the past year, we have significantly increased our expenditures to support the development and expansion of our business, which has
resulted in continuing losses. We have incurred net losses of $61.9 million, $32.5 million and $46.5 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively. We plan to continue to invest for future growth, in part by making additional investments in the area s of sales and marketing and
research and development. As a result of this, we do not expect to be profitable for the foreseeable future. Under our current operating plan,
future profitability is dependent upon continued revenue growth , which may be challenging for a number of reasons including a continued mix
shift towards MRC and other subscription licensing, increasing and entrenched competition, changes in our
40
Table of Contents
pricing model, or any failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. In addition , we will need to increase operating efficiency, which may be
challenging given our growth, operational complexity, and the additional expenses associated with being a public company.
In May 2014, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation to effect a seven-for-five reverse stock split of our common stock
and convertible preferred stock. On the effective date of the reverse stock split, (i) each seven shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock
and common stock was reduced to five shares of convertible preferred stock and common stock, respectively; (ii) the number of shares of
common stock issuable under each outstanding option to purchase common stock was proportionately reduced on a seven-to-five basis; (iii) the
exercise price of each outstanding option to purchase common stock was proportionately increased on a seven-to-five basis; and
(iv) corresponding adjustments in the per share conversion prices, dividend rates and liquidation preferences of the convertible preferred stock
were made. All of the share and per share information referenced throughout the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated
financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.
In June 2014, we completed our initial public offering, or our IPO in which we issued and sold 12,777,777 shares of common stock,
including 1,666,666 million shares of common stock sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price
of $9.00 per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $107.0 million from the sale of shares of common stock, net of underwriters’ discounts
and commissions, but before deducting offering expenses of approximately $4.1 million. Upon the closing of the initial public offering, all
shares of our outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically were converted into 49,646,975 shares of common stock.
Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures,
including gross billings, recurring billings, non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss,
non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based
compensation, the amortization of intangible assets, impairment of in-process research and development and perpetual license revenue
recognized from li censes delivered prior to 2013.
Perpetual license revenue recognized from licenses delivered prior to 2013
In our non-GAAP financial measures, we have excluded the effect of perpetual license revenue recognized from licenses delivered prior
to 2013 from revenue, gross profit, gross margin, operating loss, operating margin, net loss, and net loss per share. Because we had not
established vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of the fair value of software support and services prior to January 1, 2013, we
recognized perpetual license revenue ratably over the term of the related software support agreement. Upon establishing VSOE on January 1,
2013, we began to recognize perpetual license revenue upon delivery assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. As a result, our
perpetual license GAAP revenue includes amounts related to licenses delivered prior to 2013. Revenue amortizing from these perpetual licenses
delivered prior to 2013 has declined over each quarter since the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and will continue to decline sequentially until it
is fully amortized. As of December 31, 2014, the amount of unrecognized deferred revenue associated with perpetual licenses delivered prior
to January 1, 2013 was approximately $2.1 million, of which $1.8 million is expected to be recognized in 2015 and $0.3 million is expected to
be recognized after 2015.
Stock-based compensation expenses
In our non-GAAP financial measures, w e have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation
expenses will recur in future periods.
Amortization of intangible assets
In our non-GAAP financial measures, w e have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets
is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.
41
Table of Contents
Impairment of in-process research and development
In 2013, we recorded an impairment loss of $3.9 million against the entire recorded in-process research and development, or IPR&D
balance associated with our acquisition of Push Computing, Inc . We have excluded the effect of the impairment charge from our non-GAAP
financial measures . This expense is not expected to recur .
Non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-
GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share
We believe that the exclusion of perpetual license revenue recognized from licenses delivered prior to 2013, stock-based compensation
expense, and amortization of intangible assets and impairment of in-process research and development, from revenue, gross profit, gross
margin, operating loss, operating margin, net loss, and net loss per share provides useful measures for management and investors because
revenue recognized from licenses delivered prior to 2013 has and will continue to significantly decline over time until it is fully amortized , and
stock-based compensation, and the amortization of intangible assets and impairment of in-process research and development have been and can
continue to be inconsistent in amount from period to period. We believe the inclusion of these items makes it difficult to compare periods and
understand the growth and performance of our business. In addition, we evaluate our business performance and compensate management based
in part on these non-GAAP measures. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures
are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by our competitors and exclude
expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Further, stock-based compensation expense has been and will
continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to
our employees. Similarly, amortization of intangible assets has been and will continue to be a recurring expense and has and will continue to
contribute to our revenue earned.
Gross and recurring billings and free cash flow
Our non-GAAP financial measures also include: gross billings, which we define as total revenue plus the change in deferred revenue in a
period; recurring billings, which we define as total revenue less perpetual license, hardware, and professional services revenue plus the change
in deferred revenue for subscription and software support arrangements in a period, adjusted for nonrecurring perpetual license billings; and free
cash flow, which we define as cash used in operating activities less the amount of property and equipment purchased . We consider gross
billings to be a useful metric for management and investors because gross billings drive deferred revenue, which is an important indicator of the
health and visibility of our business. Similarly, we consider recurring billings to be a useful metric because recurring billings drive software
support and subscription deferred revenue, which is an important indicator of the portion of our business that we would expect to recur each
year. There are a number of limitations related to the use of gross and recurring billings versus revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.
First, gross and recurring billings include amounts that have not yet been recognized as revenue. Second, our calculation of gross and recurring
billings may be different from other companies that report similar financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific
information regarding GAAP revenue and evaluating gross and recurring billings together with revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Management believes that information regarding free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to invest
in our business and fund ongoing operations. However, our calculation of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by
other companies.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our
non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read
only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our
supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, and make operating decisions. These
non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our
executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on certain of these non-GAAP measures.

revenue consisted of license revenue deferred from perpetual licenses sold prior to January 1, 2013 because we had not established
VSOE until that date.
Includes nonrecurring perpetual license billings that consist of the Deferred Portion arising from undelivered elements of perpetual
license arrangements and billings classified under Bundled Ar rangements. See Note 1 entitled “ Summary of Significant Accounting

Factors Affecting our Performance
Market Adoption of Mobile IT Platforms
We are affected by the pace at which enterprises adopt mobility into their business processes and purchase a mobile IT platform. Because
our prospective customers often do not have a separate budget for mobile IT products, we invest in marketing efforts to increase market
awareness, educate prospective customers and drive adoption of our platform. The degree to which prospective customers recognize the
mission-critical need for mobile IT solutions will determine the rate at which we sell solutions to new and existing customers.
45
Table of Contents
Investment in our Mobile IT Platform Ecosystem
We have invested, and intend to continue to invest, in expanding the breadth and depth of our mobile IT ecosystem. We expect to invest
in research and development to enhance the application and technology integration capabilities of our platform by developing new and
enhancing existing SDKs and APIs to further enable third parties to integrate their applications and solutions with our platform. The degree to
which we expand our base of AppConnect and Technology Alliance partners will increase the value of our platform for our customers, which
could lead to an increased number of new customers as well as renewals and follow-on sales opportunities.
Ability to Grow Worldwide Sales Channels
We have invested, and intend to continue to invest, in expanding our sales organization, increasing our sales headcount and improving our
sales operations to drive additional revenue and support the growth of our customer base. We work with our channel partners to identify and
acquire new customers as well as pursue follow-on sales opportunities. Newly-hired sales personnel typically require several months to become
productive. All of these factors will influence timing and overall levels of sales productivity, impacting the rate at which we will be able to
acquire customers to drive revenue growth.
Expansion and Upsell within Existing Customer Base
After the initial sale to a new customer, we focus on expanding our relationship with such customer to sell additional device licenses,
subscriptions and products. To increase our revenue, it is important that our customers expand device license count and purchase additional
products. Historically, we have often realized sales of additional device licenses that are multiples of initial sales of device licenses. Our
opportunity to expand our customer relationships through additional sales is expected to increase as we add new customers, broaden our product
portfolio to meet additional mobile IT requirements, increase the benefits provided to both users and IT and enhance platform functionality.
Additional sales lead to increased revenue over the lifecycle of a customer relationship and can significantly increase the return on our sales and
marketing investments. Accordingly, our revenue growth will depend in part on the degree to which our expansion and upsell sales strategy is
successful.
Mix of Subscription and Perpetual Revenue
We offer our solutions on both a subscription and perpetual pricing model. We believe investments in our cloud services have facilitated
further adoption of our solutions and have contributed to the growth in our subscription revenue. We are seeing broader market acceptance of
our subscription licensing model from new customers. We expect the proportion of subscription revenue to our total revenue to increase over
time and there may be significant increases or decreases on a quarterly basis . In addition, in arrangements where perpetual and subscriptions to
our cloud services or on premise term licenses are sold together, revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual term. Depending on our
product development plans, situations in which perpetual licenses must be recognized as revenue ratably may increase in the future. Because
subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the duration of the related contracts, increases in total revenue will lag any increase in
subscription or combined arrangements.
Ability to Scale Operations
We plan to continue to invest for future growth, in part by making additional investment s in the area s of sales and marketing and research
and development. As a public company, we will continue to incur significant accounting, legal and other expenses that we did not incur as a
private company. At the same time, we will need to increase our operating efficiency , which may be challenging given o ur growth,
operational complexity, and additional expenses as sociated with being a public company.
Components of Operating Results
Revenue
Perpetual license revenue
Perpetual license revenue primarily relates to revenue from on premise perpetual licenses. Upon establishing VSOE of fair value for
software support and services on January 1, 2013, we began to recognize perpetual license revenue upon delivery assuming all other
46
Table of Contents
revenue recognition criteria have been met. Prior to that date, we recognized perpetual license revenue ratably over the contractual term of the
related software support agreement. Prior to January 1, 2013, we did not have VSOE of fair value for our software-related undelivered elements
due to limited history of stand-alone sales transactions and inconsistency in pricing. We established VSOE of fair value when we had a
substantial majority of stand-alone sales transactions of software support and services arrangements pricing within a narrow pricing band. In our
VSOE analysis, we generally include stand-alone sales transactions entered into during a rolling 12 month period unless a shorter period is
appropriate due to changes in our pricing structure. From time to time, we enter into multiple element arrangements with customers in which a
customer purchases our software with an appliance. Appliance revenues are also included in perpetual license revenue and constitute less than
10% of total revenue in 2014 , 2013 and 201 2 .
Subscription revenue
Subscription revenue is generated primarily from subscriptions to our on-site term licenses, arrangements where perpetual and term
license subscriptions are bundled together, and subscriptions to our cloud service. These revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription
period or term. While most of our subscriptions have at least a one-year commitment, we also recognize in this category MRC, which is revenue
from month-to-month subscription arrangements that are typically sold through service providers and billed on a monthly basis. Except for
MRC, we typically bill subscriptions annually in advance.
Software support and services revenue
Software support and services revenue includes recurring revenue from agreements to provide software upgrades and updates, as well
as technical support, to customers with perpetual software licenses. Revenue related to software support is recognized ratably over the support
term. Software support and services revenue also includes revenue from professional services, consisting of implementation consulting services
and training of customer personnel.
Cost of Revenue
Perpetual license
Our cost of perpetual license revenue consists of cost of third-party software royalties , appliances and amortization of intangible
assets .
Subscription
Our cost of subscription revenue primarily consists of costs associated with our data center operations for our cloud service, our global
Customer Success organization and third-party software royalties. Cloud service data center costs primarily consist of third-party hosting
facilities , telecommunication and information technology costs. Global Customer Success organization and data center operations costs
primarily consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation, depreciation, recruiting , facilities and cloud services data center
costs .
Software support and service
Our software support and services cost of revenue primarily consists of costs associated with our global Customer Success
organization, including our customer support, professional services, customer advocacy and training teams. These costs consist of salaries,
benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation, depreciation, recruiting, facilities and information technology costs.
Gross Margin
Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including
mix between large and small customers, mix of products sold, mix between perpetual and subscription licenses, timing of revenue recognition
and the extent to which we expand our global Customer Success organization and data center operations, including costs associated with third-
party hosting facilities , and stock-based compensation expense associated with grants of equity awards . We expect our gross margins to
fluctuate over time depending on the factors described above.

Operating Expenses
Personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses, stock-based
compensation and with regard to sales and marketing expense, sales commissions. We expect operating expenses to increase in absolute dollars,
as we continue to invest to grow our business. While operating expenses , exclusive of stock-based compensation expense, may fluctuate as a
percentage of total revenue from period to period, we expect them to decrease over the long term as a percentage of total revenue. We expect
our stock-based compensation to increase in 2015 with the introduction of the 2015 Employee Bonus Plan payable in our unrestricted common
stock and on-going grants of restricted stock units to our employees and officers.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs.
Research and development expense also includes costs associated with contractors and consultants, equipment and software to support our
development and quality assurance team s, facilities and information technology. We expect research and development expense to increase in
absolute dollars as we continue to invest in our future products and services. While our research and development expense, exclusive of stock-
based compensation expense, as a percentage of total revenue may fluctuate, we expect it to decrease over the long term as a percentage of total
revenue.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including sales commissions. We expense commissions up-front at
the time of the sale. Sales and marketing expense also includes third-party events, lead generation campaigns, promotional and other marketing
activities, as well as travel, equipment and software depreciation, consulting, information technology and facilities. In the last 12 months, we
significantly increased the size of our sales force, substantially increased our local sales presence internationally and increased marketing
spending to generate sales opportunities. We expect sales and marketing expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase the
size of our sales and marketing organizations to develop and assist our channel partners and to ex pand our international presence . However,
we also expect our sales and marketing expense to decrease over the long term as a percentage of total revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expense consists of personnel costs, travel, information technology, facilities and professional services
fees. General and administrative personnel include our executive, finance, human resources and legal organizations. Professional services fees
consist primarily of litigation, other legal, accounting and consulting costs. We expect general and administrative expense to increase in
absolute dollars due to additional legal, accounting, insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with being a public company. While
our general and administrative expense , exclusive of stock-based compensation expense, as a percentage of total revenue may fluctuate, we
expect it to decrease over the long term as a percentage of total revenue.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Our amortization of intangible assets consists of amortization of noncompete covenants.
Other Expense — Net
Other expense, net consists primarily of the effect of exchange rates on our foreign currency-denominated asset and liability balances
and interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and fixed income securities . All translation adjustments are recorded as foreign
currency gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income was insignificant for all periods presented.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense consists primarily of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets including net operating loss carry-forwards, research and development tax credits , capitalized
research and development and other book versus tax differences .

Total revenue
Comparison of 2014 and 2013
Perpetual license revenue de creased $ 3.0 million in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to a $ 12.8 million increase associated
with market adoption of our solutions by both new and existing customers, offset by a $ 15.8 million decrease in revenue recognized from
licenses that were delivered prior to 2013, but for which the revenue is being recognized ratably over the contractual terms of the related
software support agreements due to lack of VSOE for software support and services prior to January 1, 2013.
Subscription revenue increased $ 15.1 million, or 100 %, in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to increased sales of solutions sold
under either a cloud-based delivery model or a subscription term license for our on premise software products. The increase in subscription
revenue also included an increase in MRC revenue from $6.0 million in 2013 to $12.6 million in 2014.
Software support and services revenue increased $14.6 million, or 70%, in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily as a result of an
increased installed base of customers that pay recurring software support and additional users and devices within preexisting customers.
Revenue from international sales increased 28 % in 2014 compared to 2013 due to an increase in the adoption of our products and an
increased cumulative installed base of customers partially offset by a decrease in revenue recognized from perpetual licenses delivered prior to
2013, as noted above.
Revenue from AT& T, as a reseller, was 20% of total revenue in both 2014 and 2013 . No other customer accounted for 5 % or more
of total revenue in 2014 and 2013.
Comparison of 2013 and 2012
Our total revenue increased $64.7 million, or 158%, in 2013 compared to 2012. The increase reflected continuing expansion of the
mobile IT market and was attributable to an increase in sales to both new and existing customers, including sales of new premium products with
additional functionality for application containerization and content management that were released in late 2012 and early 2013. The increase
was also due to the recognition of $21.1 million for perpetual license revenue relating to licenses that were delivered prior to 2013, but for
which the revenue was being recognized ratably over the contractual terms of the related software support agreements due to lack of VSOE for
support prior to January 1, 2013. Revenue from international sales increased from $16.4 million in 2012 to $46.9 million in 2013, primarily due
to increased sales to customers in E urope . Revenue from AT&T, Inc. as a reseller increased
51
Table of Contents
to 20% of total revenue in 2013, as compared to 14% of total revenue in 2012. No other customer accounted for more than 5% of total revenue
for 2013 or 2012 .
Perpetual license revenue increased $43.6 million or 166%, in 2013 compared to 2012, due to an increase in sales of perpetual licenses
resulting from an increase in market adoption of our solutions. The increase was also due to the recognition of revenue from licenses that were
delivered prior to 2013 as described above.
Subscription revenue increased $9.5 million, or 169%, in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to increased sales of solutions sold
under either a cloud-based delivery model or a subscription term license for our on premise software products. Contributing to the increase in
subscription revenue, MRC, sold primarily through our service providers, increased from $1.6 million in 2012 to $6.0 million in 2013.
Software support and services revenue increased $11.7 million, or 129%, in 2013 compared to 2012, as a result of increased perpetual
license sales in 2013 and the increase in our cumulative installed base of customers that pay recurring software support.

Total cost of revenue increased $ 7.5 million, or 46 %, in 2014 compared to 2013 . Perpetual license cost of revenue increased $ 1.1
million , or 34 %, primarily due to an increase in hardware appliance and other inventory-related costs, royalty costs associated with increased
perpetual license sales and amortization of intangibles assets. Subscription cost of revenue increased $ 2.0 million, or 55 %, due to an increase
in data center operations expense , global Customer Success organization expense and other third-party costs . Software support and services
cost of revenue increased $ 4.4 million, or 46 %, due to an increase in our global Customer Success organization expense, which included $2.3
million of increases in salaries, associated payroll taxes, and higher fringe benefit costs as well as an approximately $1.0 million increase in
stock-based compensation expense. The decrease in gross margin in 2014 compared to 2013 was primarily due to the unfavorable impact of the
decrease in revenue that was recognized from perpetual licenses that were delivered prior to 2013. Excluding the impact of this reduction in
VSOE-related revenue, gross margin was 81 % in 2014 and 2013.
Comparison of 2013 and 2012
Total cost of revenue increased $4.8 million, or 41%, in 2013 compared to 2012. Perpetual license cost of revenue increased $1.4
million, or 72%, primarily due to an increase in appliance and royalty costs due to increased perpetual license sales. Subscription cost of
revenue increased $686,000, or 23%, as we increased our global Customer Success and data center operations expense to support our growing
customer base. Software support and services cost of revenue increased $2.7 million, or 41%, as we increased our global Customer Success
organization to support our growing customer base. The increase in gross margin in 2013 compared to 2012 was largely due to economies of
scale and the favorable impact of perpetual license revenue that was recognized ratably and attributable to licenses for software that were
delivered prior to 2013.

Research and development expense increased $ 9.9 million, or 27 %, in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to an increase in
personnel costs of $ 7.4 million as we increased our development headcount to support continued investment in our product and service
offerings . This expense also includes an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $ 742 ,000. The stock-based compensation expense
increase was driven primarily by stock option grants, some of which are expensed under the graded vesting method, and the introduction of the
Company’s 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, but partially offset by a reduction in expense associated with restricted stock held by
employees who terminated during the year . Facilities and other office expense s increased by $ 1.9 million to support the increased headcount
in research and development and the build-out of the additional development and testing infrastructure . Support of headcount growth was also
the primary reason for increases in facilities and infrastructure expenses in the other functional areas.
Sales and marketing expense increased $31.6 million, or 46%, in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to an increase in personnel
costs of $ 23.7 million related to increased sales headcount to drive growth . This expense also includes $ 5.5 million and $ 4.0 million of
increased commission expense and stock-based compensation expense, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense increase was
driven primarily by stock option grants, some of which are expensed under the graded vesting method, and the i ntroduction of the ESPP. Travel
and conference expense increased $3.8 million as a result of increased travel requirements of our larger sales team and our expansion into
foreign markets. Our third-party marketing-related expense increased $ 1.8 million as we invested in events, demand generation, public
relations, marketing infrastructure, and various other programs to expand our customer base and maintain and grow relationships with our
existing customers. Our facilities and infrastructure expense for our sales and marketing personnel increased by $1.5 million .
General and administrative expense increased $ 10.3 million, or 85 %, in 2014 compared to 2013, primarily due to increases in
personnel costs of $ 6.2 million . This expense also includes an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $ 2.4 million . We increased
general and administrative headcount in 2014 to support business growth and the requirements of being a publicly traded company. The stock-
based compensation expense increase was driven primarily by stock option grants, some of which are expensed under the graded vesting
method, and the introduction of the ESPP. Professional services costs, including legal fees, a ccounting, consulting and insurance , increased
$2.7 million , primarily due to expenses associated with being a publicly traded company. Facilities and infrastructure expense for our general
and administrative personnel increased by $1.5 million.
Amortization of intangible assets recorded in operating expense was $ 782 ,000 in 2014 and $ 208 ,000 in 2013. The increase was due
to the accelera tion of amortization of the non compete covenants intangible asset in conjunction with the termination of employees subject to
noncompete agreements.
In 2013, we abandoned a IPR&D project and recorded a $3.9 million impairment loss.
Comparison of 2013 and 2012
Research and development expense increased $12.6 million, or 53%, in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to an increase in
personnel costs of $11.3 million as we increased our development headcount to support continued investment in our future product and
53

service offerings and an increase in facilities and infrastructure costs of $1.1 million to support the growing organization. Personnel costs
included an increase of $2.7 million for stock-based compensation expense, of which $1.9 million was associated with compensatory restricted
stock grants made as part of acquisitions, and the balance of which was due to stock option grants to employees.
Sales and marketing expense increased $22.3 million, or 49%, in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to an increase in personnel
costs of $17.5 million as we increased sales headcount to support growth and recognized $7.8 million higher commission expense. Travel-
related expense increased $2.1 million as a result of travel requirements of our larger sales team and expansion into foreign markets. In addition,
third-party marketing-related expense increased $2.2 million as we expanded customer and partner programs and lead generation activities.
Stock-based compensation expense increased $831,000 in 2013 compared to 2012 due to stock option grants to employees.
General and administrative expense increased $4.9 million, or 67%, in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to an increase in
litigation expense and personnel costs. Professional services fees increased $3.1 million, primarily to supplement our legal, finance and human
resources orga nizations to support our growth . Personnel costs increased $1.8 million as we grew headcount. Stock-based compensation
expense increased $448,000 in 2013 compared to 2012 due to stock option grants to employees.
Amortization of intangible assets was $208,000 and $52,000 in 201 3 and 201 2 , respectively, and was associated with intangible
assets recorded as part of acquisitions completed in 2012.
During 2013, we abandoned a IPR&D project and recorded a $3.9 million impairment loss.

Income tax expense was $ 517,000 , $252,000 and a tax benefit of $1.4 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase
in income tax expense from 2013 to 2014 was due to an increase in foreign income taxes on profits realized by our foreign subsidiaries as we
expanded internationally. The tax benefit in 2012 included a $1.6 million one-time benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on a net
deferred tax liability associated with non-deductible intangible assets recorded as part of acquisitions .

Quarterly Results of Operations
The following table sets forth our unaudited quarterly statements of operations data for the last eight fiscal quarters. The information
for each of these quarters has been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements included elsewhere in this annual
report and, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments, which includes only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair
statement of the results of operations for these periods. This data should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report. These quarterly operating results are not necessarily indicative of our
operating results for any future period.
We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the last three fiscal
years. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price
increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Quarterly Revenue Trends
Our total revenue generally increased, on a quarterly basis, over the eight quarters ended December 31, 2014, reflecting increasing
customer adoption of our mobile IT solutions, partially off-set by the decrease in perpetual license revenue related to licenses delivered prior to
January 2013. The quarterly revenue in the quarters ended December 31, September 30, June 30 and March 31, 2014 included $1.0 million,
$1.2 million, $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of perpetual license revenue relating to licenses that were delivered prior to 2013, but
for which the revenue was being recognized ratably over the contractual term of the related software support agreements due to lack of VSOE
for software support and services prior to January 1, 2013. The corresponding amounts in the quarters ended December 31, September 30, June
30 and March 31, 2013 were $3.1 million, $4.5 million, $5.9 million and $7.5 million.
Subscription revenue increased over the quarterly periods primarily due to sales of solutions sold under either a cloud-based delivery
model or as a subscription term license for our on premise software products.
Software support and services revenue increased over the quarterly periods as a result of increased perpetual license sales and the
increase in our cumulative installed base of customers that purchased recurring software support.
Given our limited sales history, quarterly revenue trends over recent quarters may not be reliable indicators of our future revenue mix.
Moreover, because we recognize revenue from perpetual licenses when delivered, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been
met, and we recognize subscription and software support and services revenue ratably over the contractual term of the related software support
agreements, quarterly changes in our mix of perpetual license revenue versus subscription and software support and services revenue may
produce substantial variation in our revenue even if our sales activity remains consistent. We believe there are seasonal factors that may cause
us to record higher revenue in some quarters compared to others. We believe this variability is largely due to our customers’ budgetary and
spending patterns, as many customers spend the unused portions of their discretionary budgets prior to the end of their fiscal years. For
example, we have historically recorded our highest level of revenue in our fourth quarter, which we believe corresponds to the fourth quarter of
a majority of our customers.
Quarterly Gross Profit and Margin Trends
While gross profit increased in quarters of 2014 as compared to 2013, quarterly gross margin generally was lower in the quarters of
2014 compared to the quarters of 2013 primarily due to decreases in revenue from perpetual licenses delivered prior to January 1, 2013 , which
had no corresponding cost of revenue. The increase in gross margin in the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was due primarily to increases in
revenue and a reduction in software royalty payments. In the future, gross margin may fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to shifts in the mix of
sales between perpetual and subscription licenses, the mix of products sold, the mix between large and small customers, the timing of revenue
recognition and the extent to which we expand our global Customer Success organization and data center operations, including costs associated
with third party hosting facilities.

Quarterly Operating Expense Trends
Total operating expenses generally increased for all periods presented primarily due to the addition of personnel in connection with the
expansion of our business. Sales and marketing expense increased from the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to the quarter ended December
31, 2013 primarily due to increased commission expense and third party marketing spending as we held a number of events in the fourth
quarter. Sales and marketing expense increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2014 due primarily
to hiring and increased stock-based compensation and commission expense. Sales and marketing expense increased during 2013 and 2014 as we
hired sales personnel to capture increasing sales opportunities and engaged in marketing programs for lead generation and various activities to
promote our products. General and administrative expense increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March
31, 2013 due primarily to hiring and outside legal costs to support the growth of our business and litigation-related legal costs. General and
administrative expense increased in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013 due to payroll-related
costs as we increased headcount, higher litigation-related legal expenses, consulting expense to supplement our finance team and outside legal
expense to support our growth in contract volume. In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, we abandoned an in process research and
development project and recorded a $3.9 million impairment loss. We generally expect our operating expenses to increase in absolute dollars as
we continue to invest in future products and anticipated growth. In addition, we expect stock-based compensation expense to increase in 2015
with the introduction of the 2015 Employee Bonus Plan payable in unrestricted common stock and on-going grants of restricted stock units to
our employees and officers.

At December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $ 104.3 million. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are held
in the United States.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, we invested a portion of our IPO proceeds from cash and cash equivalents into fixed income securities,
including commercial paper, corporate debt securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies. At December 31, 2014 we had short-term
investments of $13.9 million and long-term investments of $22.2 million.
In addition, in December 2013, we amended a revolving line of credit with a financial institution to increase our potential borrowing
capacity to $20.0 million and extend ed the maturity date to August 2015. All other material terms and conditions remained the same with the
exception of the added requirement that we maintain an adjusted quick ratio (defined as the ratio of current assets to current liabilities minus
deferred revenue) of at least 1.15. As of December 31, 2014, we had no borrowings outstanding under this revolving loan facility and we were
in compliance with our loan covenants.
Prior to our IPO, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities. In June 2014, we raised, net of
offering costs, $102.9 million in our initial public offering. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient
57
Table of Contents
to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our
growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction
of new and enhanced products and services offerings, the continuing market acceptance of our products, any future acquisition and similar
transactions and the proportion of our perpetual versus subscription sales. 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.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Our primary source of cash from operating activities has been from cash collections from our customers. We expect cash inflows from
operating activities to be affected by increases in sales and timing of collections. Our primary use of cash from operating activities has been for
personnel costs. We expect cash outflows from operating activities to be affected by increases in personnel costs as we grow our business. Cash
used in operating activities was $ 36.6 million , $ 25.6 million and $23.5 million in 2014 , 2013 and 201 2 , respectively.
In 2014, we used $ 36.6 million of cash in operating activities primarily as a result of our expansion of our sales organization,
investment in marketing programs, and the addition of headcount in research and development, customer success, data center operations and our
general and administrative team s. We incurred a net loss of $ 61.9 million in 2014 as we increased our operating expenses 40 % to $ 169.3
million and increased our cost of revenue 46% to $24.0 million . The net loss included non-cash charges of $ 20.5 million, primarily due to
stock-based compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense. Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of
acquisitions, as sources of cash, consisted of a $ 13.4 million favorable increase in deferred revenue and a $ 2.9 million favorable change in
accounts payable, accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities that were partially offset by increases in accounts receivable of $ 10.6 million
and other current and noncurrent assets of $ 835,000 .
In 2013, we used $25.6 million of cash for operating activities primarily as a result of the expansion of our sales organization and
investment in marketing programs, and the addition of headcount in research and development, customer success and data center operations,
partially offset by cash received from customers. We believe this investment is necessary to drive the long-term success of our company. We
incurred a net loss of $32.5 million in 2013 as we increased our operating expenses 57% to $120.9 million and increased cost of revenue 41% to
$16.5 million. The net loss included non-cash charges of $14.4 million, primarily due to stock-based compensation, depreciation expense and
impairment of IP R&D. Unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions, of $7.4 million increased our use of cash
from operations, as growth in accounts receivable and decreases in deferred revenue was only partially offset by increases in accrued liabilities,
especially payroll-related accrued expense.
In 2012, we used $23.5 million of cash for operating activities primarily as a result of our investment in product development, the
expansion of our marketing and sales activities, and the related increased support infrastructure required, partially offset by cash received from
customers. We incurred a net loss of $46.5 million in 2012 as we more than doubled our operating expenses to $77.0 million and increased cost
of revenue 125% to $11.7 million. The net loss was partially offset by favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions,
of $17.4 million, mainly due to increased deferred revenue, and non-cash charges of $5.6 million, primarily for stock-based compensation and
depreciation expense.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Our investing activities have consisted of purchases of property and equipment, a business and technology and other assets. We expect
to continue to make such purchases to support the growth of our business.
Cash used in investing activities was $ 39.9 million in 2014 which consisted mostly of our purchase of $36.1 million of short and long-
term investments . In addition, we purchased $3.1 million of equipment and software and paid $650,000 to purchase intellectual property.
Cash used in investing activities was $2.6 million and $5.4 million, in 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, $2.2 million of the cash
used in investing activities was attributable to the purchase of equipment for the expansion of our data centers and increase in infrastructure to
support our increasing headcount. In 2012, we used $3.1 million for the purchase of Push Computing, Inc., or Push, $1.9 million for the
purchase of equipment and $396,000 for the purchase of intellectual property. We purchased Push and the intellectual
58
Table of Contents
property to provide enhanced security features in our software applications and services. Property and equipment purchases were primarily to
support our employee growth and expand our data centers.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Our financing activities have consisted of proceeds from the initial public offering, the issuance of convertible preferred stock, the
exercise of stock options, and borrowings and repayments under our revolving line of credit.
In 2014, our financing activities provided $ 107.2 million of cash. Cash from financing activities in 2014 included proceeds from our
IPO of $107.0 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, $2.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred
stock, $2. 3 million from the exercise of stock options as well as $ 4.3 million of cash received from employees related to our ESPP, partially
offset by a net $ 4 .3 million repayment of borrowings from our revolving line of credit and $4. 1 million in payments of IPO offering costs.
In 2013, our financing activities provided $63.0 million, which included $57.7 million of net proceeds from the issuance of convertible
preferred stock, $4.3 million from borrowings under our revolving line of credit and $1.0 million from the exercise of stock options.
In 2012, our financing activities provided $43.8 million, which included $42.3 million of net proceeds from the issuance of convertible
preferred stock and $1.5 million from the exercise of stock options. In 2011, our financing activities provided $20.9 million, which included
$19.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock and $1.0 million from the exercise of stock options.

In January 201 5 , we expanded our office facilities in the U.S. and internationally with additional lease commitments totaling $2.2
million.
The contractual obligations table excludes tax liabilities of $2.8 million related to uncertain tax positions because we are unable to
make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of settlement, if any, of these future payments.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
Through December 31, 2014, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as
structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or
other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Segment Information
We have one primary business activity and operate in one reportable segment.
Concentration
AT&T accounted for approximately 22% of our revenue (including 2% as an end customer) in 2014. In 2013, AT&T accounted for
approximately 23% of our revenue (including 3% as an end customer). Our agreements with this reseller were made in the ordinary course of
our business and may be terminated with or without cause by either party with advance notice. Although we believe we would experience some
short term disruption in the distribution of our products, subscriptions and services if these agreements were terminated, we believe such
termination would not have a material adverse effect on our financial results and that alternative resellers and other channel partners exist to
deliver our products to our end customers.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ
from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial
statements will be affected.
The critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumption and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements are described below. For further information on all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 entitled
“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue principally from software-related arrangements consisting of perpetual software licenses, post-contract customer
support for such licenses, or PCS or software support, including when and if available updates, and professional services such as consulting and
training services. We also offer our software as term-based licenses and cloud-based arrangements. In addition, we install our software on
servers that we ship to customers.
We consider following to be key accounting policy elections and estimates in our revenue recognition:
(i)
Determining VSOE of fair value and best estimate of selling price, or BESP, of fair value used to allocate revenue between the
elements of multiple elements arrangements requires significant judgment . As of January 1, 2013, we determined that we had
sufficient history to establish VSOE of fair value for PCS and professional services. Prior to January 1, 2013, we did not have
VSOE of fair value for our software-related undelivered elements due to a limited history of stand-alone sales transactions and
inconsistency in pricing. We established VSOE of fair value when we had a substantial majority of stand-alone sales
transactions of software support and services pricing within a narrow pricing band. In our VSOE analysis, we generally include
stand-alone sales transactions completed during a rolling 12 month period unless a shorter period is appropriate due to c hanges
in our pricing structure. Because we did not achieve pricing consistency for our products, including product subscription and
cloud-based services, we use the residual method to allocate revenue in multiple element arrangement within scope of ASC 985 -
605 Software Revenue Recognition and BESP to allocate the revenue in multiple element arrangement within scope of ASC 605
Revenue recognition ;
(ii)
Determining whether collection of customer receivables is probable may require significant judgment. We assess collection on
customer-by-customer and deal-by-deal basis and assess such factors as history of payments, financial condition, and payment
terms;
(iii)
Generally, sales made through resellers are fulfilled to the end customer and processed in the same period. Inventory of the
licenses held by the resellers was immaterial for all periods presented;
(iv) We consider our resellers our customers and recognize revenue based on the price charged to resellers;
60
Table of Contents
(v)
Sales commissions and other incremental costs to acquire contracts are expensed as incurred and are recorded in sales and
marketing expense.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
We record the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as
goodwill. We perform an impairment test of our goodwill in the third quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of potential
impairment arise. We have a single reporting unit and consequently evaluate goodwill for impairment based on an evaluation of the fair value of
the Company as a whole. We record purchased intangible assets at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Purchased
intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated useful lives, which range from three to five
years. We evaluate the remaining useful lives of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a
revision to the remaining estimated amortization period. We evaluated our goodwill for impairment in 2014 and 2013 and observed no
impairment indicators.
We also review our indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment. We have determined that our intangible assets have not been
impaired in 2014. In 2013, we abandoned an in-process research and development project and recorded a $3.9 million impairment loss.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation costs related to restricted stock and stock options granted to employees are measured at the date of grant based
on the estimated fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. We estimate the grant date fair value, and the resulting stock-based
compensation expense, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We recognize compensation costs for awards with service and
performance vesting conditions on an accelerated method under the graded vesting method over the requisite service period of the award. For
stock awards with no performance condition, we recognize compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the
award, which is generally the vesting term of four years.
Key assumptions used in determining the fair value of our stock option grants are estimated as follows:
These
assumptions
are
estimated as
follows:
•
Risk-Free Interest Rate . We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes valuation model on the implied yield
available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term of the options for each option group.
•
Expected Term . The expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. We have
opted to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term, which calculates the expected term as the average time-to-
vesting and the contractual life of the options.
•
Volatility . We determine the price volatility factor based on the historical volatilities of our peer group as we did not have
sufficient trading history for our common stock.
•
Dividend Yield . The expected dividend assumption is based on our current expectations about our dividend policy. We
currently do not expect to issue any dividends.
Forfeiture Rate. The forfeiture rate is calculated on expected employee turnover. We have applied the same forfeiture rate to
our entire employee population.

In 2014, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was $16.7 million, $8.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively. As of
December 31, 2014, we had approximately $31.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of related forfeiture estimates, which
we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2. 3 years .
We estimate the fair value of the rights to acquire stock under our ESPP using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Our ESPP
typically provides for consecutive 24 month offering periods, consisting of four tranches. We recognize compensation expense on an
accelerated-graded basis over the employee’s requisite service period. We account for the fair value of restricted stock units, or RSUs, using the
closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest ratably on a quarterly basis over one to four years.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of
assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
We currently have a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets of $67.6 million as of December 31, 2014. We
continue to monitor the relative weight of positive and negative evidence of future profitability in relevant jurisdictions. When evidence
indicating that it becomes more likely than not that the tax asset may be utilized, the allowance will be released.

Item 7 A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our sales contracts are currently primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. A portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the
United States and are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
particularly changes in the British Pound and Euro. In 2014, our operating expenses benefitted from the increase in the value of the U.S. dollar
versus the Euro and other foreign currencies. If, in 2015 or future years, the U.S. dollar declines in value versus the Euro or other currencies,
our operating expenses will increase. The effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business
would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. To date, we have not engaged in any hedging strategies. As our
international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to managing our risk related to fluctuations in currency rates.
Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statement of
operations. To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash, cash equivalents and fixed income investments of $ 140.4 million and $73.6 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively, consisting of bank deposits, money market funds, corporate debt securit ies, commercial paper and securities and obligations of
U.S. government agencies.
We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage
our interest rate risk exposure. By policy, we limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and our investments are held with capital
preservation as the primary objective.
Our cash equivalents and investments are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates.
Due to increases in interest rates, 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 investments as “held-to-maturity”, no gains or losses are recognized due to changes
in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in value are determined to be other-than-temporary. We believe that
we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. Declines in
interest rates, however, will reduce future investment income, if any. For instance the effect of a hypothetical 50 basis point increase or
decrease in interest rates would result in a change of approximately $250,000 to our annual interest income.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Fir m
Board of Directors and Stockholders of MobileIron, Inc.
Mountain View, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MobileIron, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, 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 such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MobileIron, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Description of Busines s and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
MobileIron, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”, provides a
purpose-built mobile IT platform that enables enterprises to manage and secure mobile applications, content and devices while
providing their employees with device choice, privacy and a native user experience. We were incorporated in Delaware in
July 2007 and are headquartered in Mountain View, California, with additional sales and support presence in North America,
Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.
Initial Public Offering
In June 2014, we completed our initial public offering, or our IPO, in which we issued and sold 12,777,777 shares of
common stock, including 1,666,666 million shares of common stock sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’
over-allotment option, at a price of $9.00 per share. We received aggregate proceeds of $107.0 million from the sale of
shares of common stock, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions, but before deducting offering expenses of
approximately $4.1 million. Upon the closing of the initial public offering, all shares of our outstanding convertible preferred
stock automatically were converted into 49,646,975 shares of common stock.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Stock Split
In May 2014, we amended and restated our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a seven-for-
five reverse stock split of our common stock and convertible preferred stock. On the effective date of the reverse stock split,
(i) each seven shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock and common stock was reduced to five shares of convertible
preferred stock and common stock, respectively; (ii) the number of shares of common stock issuable under each outstanding
option to purchase common stock was proportionately reduced on a seven-for-five basis; (iii) the exercise price of each
outstanding option to purchase common stock was proportionately increased on a seven-for-five basis; and (iv) corresponding
adjustments in the per share conversion prices, dividend rates and liquidation preferences of the convertible preferred stock
were made. All of the share and per share information referenced throughout these consolidated financial statements and notes
to the consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of all our international operations is the U.S.
dollar. All monetary asset and liability accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end rate, nonmonetary assets and
liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted-average
exchange rates in effect during the period. Translation adjustments arising are recorded as foreign currency gains (losses) in
the consolidated statements of operations. We recognized a foreign currency loss of approximately $304,000 $399,000 and
$146,000 in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in other expense—net in our consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not
limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, goodwill, intangible assets and accounting for income taxes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, money market funds
and fixed income investments. Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions, our deposits, at times,
exceed federally insured limits. We invest in fixed income securities that are of high-credit quality. Substantially all of our
money market funds, or $77.5 million, are held in a single fund that is rated “AAA.”
We generally do not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. Allowances are provided
for individual accounts receivable when we become aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as
in the case of bankruptcy, deterioration in the customer’s operating results, or change in financial position. If circumstances
related to customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted. We also consider
broader factors in evaluating the sufficiency of our allowances for doubtful accounts, including the length of time receivables
are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience. Activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts was as

One reseller accounted for 22% (2% as an end customer), 23% (3% as an end customer) and 17% (3% as an end
customer) of total revenue in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The same reseller accounted for 16% and 12% of net
accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
A separate reseller accounted for 13% of our net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013.
There were no other resellers or end-user customers that accounted for 10% or more as a percentage of our revenue
or net accounts receivable for any period presented.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue principally from software-related arrangements consisting of perpetual software licenses, post-
contract customer support for such licenses, or PCS or software support, including when and if available updates, and
professional services such as consulting and training services. We also offer our software as term-based licenses and cloud-
based arrangements. In addition, we install our software on servers that we ship to customers.
We begin to recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or
services have been provided, (iii) the sales price is fixed and determinable, and (iv) collection of the related receivable is
probable. If collection is not considered probable, revenue is recognized only upon collection.
Signed agreements, including by electronic acceptance, are used as evidence of an arrangement. Delivery is
considered to occur when we provide a customer with a link and credentials to download our software. Delivery of a hardware
appliance (an “appliance”) is considered to occur when title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer, which typically
occurs when appliances are delivered to a common carrier. Delivery of services occurs when performed.
Prior to January 1, 2013, we had not established vendor specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value for any
of the elements in our multiple-element arrangements. As of January 1, 2013, we determined that we had sufficient history to
establish VSOE of fair value for PCS and professional services. Prior to January 1, 2013, we did not have VSOE of fair value
for our software-related undelivered elements due to limited history of stand-alone sales transactions and inconsistency in
pricing. We established VSOE of fair value when we had a substantial majority of stand-alone sales transactions of software
support and services pricing within a narrow pricing band. In our VSOE analysis, we generally
71
Table of Contents
include stand-alone sales transactions completed during a rolling 12 month period unless a shorter period is appropriate due to
changes in our pricing structure.
We typically enter into multiple-element arrangements with our customers in which a customer may purchase a
combination of software on a perpetual or subscription license, PCS, and professional services. The professional services are
not considered essential to the functionality of the software. All of these elements are considered separate units of accounting.
Our standard agreements do not include rights for customers to cancel or terminate arrangements or to return software to
obtain refunds.
We use the residual method to recognize revenue when a perpetual license arrangement includes one or more
elements to be delivered at a future date provided the following criteria are met: (i) VSOE of fair value does not exist for one
or more of the delivered items but exists for all undelivered elements, (ii) all other applicable revenue recognition criteria are
met and (iii) the fair value of all of the undelivered elements is less than the arrangement fee. VSOE of fair value is based on
the normal pricing practices for those products and services when sold separately by us and contractual customer renewal
rates for post-contract customer support services. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is
deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue in the period in which it was earned. If
evidence of the fair value of one or more undelivered elements does not exist, then the revenue is deferred and recognized
when delivery of those elements occurs, or when fair value can be established, or ratably over the PCS period if the only
undelivered element is PCS—we refer to these deferred revenue elements as the “Deferred Portion.”
Revenue from subscriptions to our on premise term licenses, arrangements where perpetual and subscriptions to our
on premise term licenses are sold together, and subscriptions to our cloud service are recognized ratably over the contractual
term for all periods presented and are included as a component of subscription revenue within our consolidated statements of
operations. We refer to arrangements where perpetual and subscriptions to our on premise term licenses are sold together as
“Bundled Arrangements.”
Occasionally, we enter into multiple-element arrangements with our customers in which a customer may purchase a
combination of software on a perpetual or term basis, PCS, professional services, and appliances. We generally provide the
appliances and software upon the commencement of the arrangement and provide software-related elements throughout the
support period. We account for appliance-bundled arrangements under the revised accounting standard related to multiple-
element arrangements, Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, No. 2009-13, Multiple Element Arrangements , and determine
the revenue to be recognized based on the standard’s fair value hierarchy and then determine the value of each element in the
arrangement based on the relative selling price of the arrangement. Amounts related to appliances are generally recognized
upon delivery with the remaining consideration allocated to software and software-related elements, which are recognized as
described elsewhere in this policy.
Revenue from PCS is recognized ratably over the support term and is included as a component of software support
and service revenue within the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue related to professional services is recognized upon delivery and is included as a component of software
support and services revenue within the consolidated statements of operations.
Prior to establishing VSOE of fair value for PCS and professional services on January 1, 2013, we recognized
revenue for multiple element software and software-related arrangements ratably from the date of service commencement
over the contractual term of the related PCS arrangement. After January 1, 2013, the deferred revenue related to these
arrangements continues to be recognized ratably over the remaining contractual term of the PCS arrangement. Approximately
$5.2 million and $21.1 million of perpetual license revenue in 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to sales made prior to
January 1, 2013. Approximately $2.1 million and $7.3 million deferred revenue as of December 31, 2014 and 2013,
respectively, related to sales made prior to January 1, 2013.
We allocated the revenue from all multiple-element arrangements entered into prior to the establishment of VSOE of
fair value for our PCS and professional services to each respective revenue caption using our best estimate of value of each
element based on the facts and circumstances of the arrangements, our go-to-market strategy, price list and discounts from
price list as applicable. We believe that the allocation between the revenue captions allows for greater transparency and
comparability of revenue from period to period even though VSOE of fair value may not have existed at that time.

Table of Contents
Appliance revenue was less than 10% of total revenue for all periods presented and is included as a component of
perpetual license revenue within the consolidated statements of operations.
Generally, sales made through resellers are fulfilled to the end customer and processed in the same period. Inventory
of the licenses held by the resellers was immaterial for all periods presented.
Shipping charges and sales tax billed to partners are excluded from revenue.
Sales commissions and other incremental costs to acquire contracts are also expensed as incurred and are recorded in
sales and marketing expense.
For all arrangements, any revenue that has been deferred and is expected to be recognized beyond one year is
classified as long-term deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As
of December 31, 2014 , cash and cash equivalents consist ed of cash deposited with banks, money market funds and
investments that mature within three months of their purchase . At December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents consisted
of case deposited with bank and money market funds.
Held-To-Maturity Investments
We determine the appropriate classification of our fixed income investments at the time of purchase and reevaluate
their classifications each reporting period. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has positive
intent and the ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. In 2014,
2013 and 2012, there were no differences between net loss and comprehensive loss. Therefore, the consolidated statements of
comprehensive loss have been omitted.
Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is
computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities
outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss
per share calculation, convertible preferred stock, unvested restricted stock and stock options are considered to be potentially
dilutive securities. Because we have reported a net loss for 2014, 2013 and 2012, the number of shares used to calculate
diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share for
those periods presented because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the calculation.
Inventory
We have appliances (industry standard hardware servers available from multiple vendors) that are available for
customers to purchase, on which we preinstall our software prior to shipment. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. We value our inventory using the first-in, first-out method. Appropriate consideration is given to
obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value—such adjustments were not
material for any period presented. The entire inventory is comprised of finished goods. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013,
we had inventory of $528,000 and $665,000 , respectively, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in
the consolidated balance sheets.

Software Development Costs Incurred in Connection with Software to be Sold or Marketed
The costs to develop new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as
incurred until technological feasibility has been established. We consider technological feasibility to have occurred when all
planning, designing, coding and testing have been completed according to design specifications. Once technological
feasibility is established, any additional costs would be capitalized. We believe our current process for developing software is
essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility, and accordingly, no costs have been
capitalized.
Internal Use Software
We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage related to our internally used software. Such
costs are primarily incurred by third-party vendors and consultants. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-
implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Amounts capitalized in all periods presented were not significant.
All software development costs incurred in connection with our cloud offering, or SaaS, are also sold or marketed to
partners or end customers, therefore we start capitalizing costs when technological feasibility is achieved. No costs were
capitalized in any periods presented as we believe that our current process for developing software is essentially completed
concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of the property and equipment, determined to be three years for computers and equipment and software,
five years for furniture and fixtures, and the lesser of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life for leasehold
improvements. Expenditures for repairs and software support are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposition, the cost
and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected as operating
expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We record the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible
assets acquired as goodwill. We perform an impairment test of our goodwill in the third quarter of our fiscal year, or more
frequently if indicators of potential impairment arise. We have a single reporting unit and consequently evaluate goodwill for
impairment based on an evaluation of the fair value of the Company as a whole. We record purchased intangible assets at their
respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Purchased intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-
line method over their remaining estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years. We evaluate the remaining
useful lives of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the
remaining estimated amortization period.
We have determined that our intangible assets have not been impaired during the year ended December 31, 2014 . In
2013, we abandoned an in-process research and development project and recorded a $3.9 million impairment loss.
74
Table of Contents
Long-Lived Assets with Finite Lives
Long-lived assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of these assets may not be recoverable. We evaluate the recoverability of each of our long-lived assets, including
purchased intangible assets and property and equipment, by comparison of its carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash
flows we expect the asset to generate. If we consider the asset to be impaired, we measure the amount of any impairment as
the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the impaired asset.
Stock-Based Compensation
We use the estimated grant-date fair value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification, or ASC, Topic 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation . Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes
Model using various inputs, including our estimates of expected volatility, term and future dividends. We estimated the
forfeiture rate in 2014 and 2013 based on our historical experience for annual grant years where the majority of the vesting
terms have been satisfied. We recognize compensation costs for awards with service and performance vesting conditions on
an accelerated method over the requisite service period of the award. For stock options or restricted stock grants with no
performance condition, we recognize compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the
award, which is generally the vesting term of four years.
Research and Development
Research and development, or R&D, costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed and included in sales and marketing expense when incurred. Advertising expense in
2014, 2013 and 2012 was $526,000 , $560,000 and $361,000 , respectively.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes , under which deferred tax liabilities
and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
We use a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that
the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. A tax
position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater
than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on
derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure and transition.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or
FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the
impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results
of operations upon adoption.
In May 2014, the FASB, jointly with the International Accounting Standards Board, issued a comprehensive new
standard on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The standard’s core principle is that a reporting entity will
recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying this new guidance to contracts
within its scope, an entity will: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the
contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract,
and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Additionally, this new guidance will
require significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition.
75
Table of Contents
Provisions of this new standard are effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those
annual periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a
full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance. We are currently evaluating the potential
effect on our consolidated financial statements from adoption of this standard.

3 . Fair Value Measurement
With the exception of our held-to-maturity fixed income investments, we report financial assets and liabilities and
nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a
recurring basis in accordance with ASC 820 (formerly FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ). ASC 820
defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets
and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in
which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure
fair value into three levels. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest
level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes and prioritizes three levels
of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
(cid:1) Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(cid:1) Level 2—Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted
prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration,
for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
(cid:1) Level 3—Inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at
fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.
Our financial assets that are carried at fair value include cash and money market funds. We had no financial
liabilities, or nonfinancial assets and liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, or that
were measured at fair value as of December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
Our financial instruments measured at fair market value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

We monitor our investment portfolio for impairment on a periodic basis. In order to determine whether a decline in
fair value is other-than-temporary, we evaluate, among other factors: the duration and extent to which the fair value has been
less than the carrying value; our financial condition and business outlook, including key operational and cash flow metrics,
current market conditions and future trends in our industry; our relative competitive position within the industry; and our
intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. A
decline in the fair value of the security below amortized cost that is deemed other-than-
78

temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the affected securities. In 2014, we had
an insignificant amount of un realized gains or losses, and we did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments .
5. Acquisitions
In November 2014, we purchased developed technology for $650,000 to enhance our product portfolio, which we
capitalized in intangible assets—net on the accompanying balance sheet and expect to amortize on a straight-line basis over its
estimated useful life of three years.
In April 2014, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Averail Corporation, or Averail, a privately-held
content security-oriented software company, for 276,463 shares of common stock and the assumption of certain liabilities.
The assets acquired will provide additional features in our Docs@Work product. Included in the total, 43,612 shares are
subject to a holdback provision for standard representations and warranties and will be held in escrow for 18 month from the
date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price of the transaction was approximately $2.0 million, net of liabilities assumed.
In connection with this acquisition, 103,231 of these shares were distributed to entities affiliated with Storm Ventures, and
103,232 of these shares were issued to entities affiliated with Foundation Capital, subject to certain holdback provisions. The
Storm Ventures entities and the Foundation Capital entities each collectively hold more than 5% of our capital stock. In
addition, Tae Hea Nahm, an affiliate of Storm Ventures, serves on our board of directors and was a director of Averail prior to
its acquisition. The aggregate value of the securities issued to our investors was approximately $1.5 million.
The total consideration for this transaction was approximately $2.0 million and consisted of the following (in
thousands except share data):
Common stock issued (232,854 shares)
Holdback common stock (43,612 shares)

$ 1,982
Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were $167,000 , all of which we expensed in 2014, and are included
in general and administrative expense .
We accounted for the Averail acquisition as a business combination. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were
recorded at fair market value. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable
intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill generated from this business combination was primarily
related to value placed on the employee workforce and expected synergies. Goodwill for all acquisitions is not amortized and
is not deductible for tax purposes.

In October 2012, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Push Computing, Inc., or Push, a
privately held provider of advanced device management and security functionality that, combined with the Company’s
existing and in-process solutions, was expected to provide enhanced security to customers.
The total consideration for this transaction was approximately $9.3 million and consisted of the following (in
thousands except share data):

As part of the acquisition accounting, we established a deferred income tax liability of $1.3 million to reflect the tax
effect of the temporary difference between the $5.0 million in fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired and their tax
bases. Concurrently, we released the valuation allowance on the deferred income tax liability and recognized a $1.3 million
benefit to income tax expense. Intangible assets were initially being amortized over a weighted-average period of five years.
The intangible assets acquired are reported, net of accumulated amortization, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Amortization expense related to the acquired intangible assets for 2014, 2013 and 2012
was $782,000 , $208,000 and $52,000 , respectively, all of which was included as a separate component of operating
expenses. We initially capitalized the IP R&D with the expectation that it would be amortized to cost of revenue when the
underlying projects were complete. In 2013, we abandoned the IP R&D intangible project and recorded a $3.9 million
impairment loss in 2013. Later, in conjunction with the termination of the employees subject to the noncompete agreements,
we reduced the remaining life of the noncompete covenants intangible asset. The net book value of all intangible assets at
December 31, 2014 is zero.
In addition to the purchase consideration, we granted certain restricted stock and retention bonuses which were
accounted for as post-acquisition compensation.
In April 2012, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Forgepond Inc., or Forgepond, a privately
held company which was developing mobile application security functionality. The total fair value of this
80
Table of Contents
transaction was $829,000 and was paid for with $396,000 in cash, 32,847 shares of common stock, and $30,000 of cash paid
in April 2013. The fair value recorded relates to definite-lived intangible assets, which consist of developed technology, and a
deferred income tax liability of $309,000 to reflect the tax effect of the temporary difference between the fair value assigned
to intangible asset acquired and its tax basis. We released the valuation allowance on the deferred income tax liability and
recognized a $309,000 benefit to income tax expense. We accounted for the Forgepond purchase as an asset acquisition as
Forgepond’s sole activities were coding and development of the security application, which was at an early stage. The overall
weighted-average life of the identified intangible assets acquired in these purchases was three years. These identifiable
intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as a component of perpetual
license cost of revenue.
In addition to the purchase consideration, we granted certain restricted stock and retention bonuses which were
accounted for as post-acquisition compensation.
Pro forma results of operations for the acquisitions completed have not been presented because the effects of the
acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our financial results.

In August 2012, we entered into a $10.0 million revolving line of credit with a financial institution. The revolving
line of credit can be used to (a) borrow for working capital and general business requirements, (b) issue letters of credit, and
(c) enter into foreign exchange contracts. Amounts borrowed accrue interest at a floating-per-annum rate equal to the greater
of (1) the prime rate plus 1% or (2) 4.25% . A default interest rate shall apply during an event of default at a rate per annum
equal to 5% above the otherwise applicable interest rate. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of our assets,
except intellectual property, and requires us to comply with working capital, net worth and other nonfinancial covenants,
including limitations on indebtedness and restrictions on dividend distributions, among others, and the borrowing capacity is
limited to eligible accounts receivable.
In December 2013, we amended the revolving line of credit with the same financial institution to increase the
potential borrowing capacity to $20.0 million and extend the maturity date to August 2015. All other material terms and
conditions remained the same with the exception of the added requirement that we maintain an adjusted quick ratio (defined
as the ratio of current assets to current liabilities minus deferred revenue) of at least 1.15 .
There were no outstanding amounts under the line of credit at December 31, 2014 and $4.3 million outstanding at
December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
8. Preferred Stock
As of the consummation of our IPO in June 2014, all shares of our issued and outstanding convertible preferred stock
were automatically converted into 49,646,975 shares of common stock.
We amended and restated our certificate of incorporation in June 2014 to authorize the future issuance of up to
10,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock. No shares of convertible preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of
December 31, 2014.
In January 2014, we issued 200,903 shares of Series F for net cash proceeds of $2.0 million.
In August, September and December 2013, we issued 5,809,437 shares of Series F for net cash proceeds of $57.7
million.
82
Table of Contents
In May, June and October 2012, we issued 4,259,145 shares of Series E for net cash proceeds of $42.3 million. In
October 2012, we issued 333,099 shares of Series E to former Push debt holders as part of the consideration for the
acquisition of Push.
As of December 31, 2013, we classified our convertible preferred stock outside of stockholders’ deficit because the
shares were considered effectively redeemable upon a deemed liquidation event. During the periods presented, we did not
adjust the carrying value of the convertible preferred stock to the deemed liquidation value of such shares as a qualifying
liquidation event was not probable.

In 2008, our board of directors approved the adoption of the 2008 Stock Plan, or the 2008 Plan. As of December 31,
2013, a total of 2,085,338 shares were available for issuance under the 2008 Plan.
The 2008 Plan, which expired on June 12, 2014, provided for the grant of incentive and nonstatutory stock options to
employees, nonemployee directors and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the 2008 Plan generally become
exercisable within three to four years following the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. When options are
subject to our repurchase right, we may buy back any unvested shares at their original exercise price in the event of an
employee’s termination prior to full vesting.
Our 2008 Plan was terminated following the date our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2014 Plan, became
effective. Any outstanding stock awards under our 2008 Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of our 2008 Plan and
applicable award agreements.
2014 Equity Incentive Plan
Our board of directors adopted our 2014 Plan on April 17, 2014, and our stockholders subsequently approved the
2014 Plan on May 27, 2014. The 2014 Plan became effective on the date that our registration statement was declared effective
by the SEC. The 2014 Plan is the successor to and continuation of our 2008 Plan. Upon the effective date of the 2014 Plan, no
further grants can be made under our 2008 Plan.
Our 2014 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, or ISOs, within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, to our employees and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the
grant of nonstatutory stock options, or NSOs, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards,
performance-based stock awards, and other forms of equity compensation to our employees, directors and consultants.
Additionally, our 2014 Plan provides for the grant of performance cash awards to our employees, directors and consultants.
The initial number of shares of our common stock available to be issued under our 2014 Plan was 8,142,857 , which
number of shares will be increased by any shares subject to stock options or other stock awards granted under the 2008 Plan
that would have otherwise returned to our 2008 Plan (such as upon the expiration or termination of a stock award prior to
vesting), not to exceed 16,312,202 .
84
Table of Contents
Additionally, the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our 2014 Plan will
automatically increase on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2015 and continuing through and including
January 1, 2024, by 5% of the total number of shares of our capital stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding
calendar year, or a lesser number of shares determined by our board of directors.
Shares issued under our 2014 Plan will be authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of our common stock. Shares
subject to stock awards granted under our 2014 Plan that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid
out in cash rather than in shares, will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under our 2014 Plan.
Additionally, shares issued pursuant to stock awards under our 2014 Plan that we repurchase or that are forfeited, as well as
shares used to pay the exercise price of a stock award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to a stock award,
will become available for future grant under our 2014 Plan.
2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our board of directors adopted our 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, on April 17, 2014, and our
stockholders subsequently approved the ESPP on May 27, 2014. The ESPP became effective immediately upon the execution
and delivery of the underwriting agreement related to our IPO. The purpose of the ESPP is to secure the services of new
employees, to retain the services of existing employees and to provide incentives for such individuals to exert maximum
efforts toward our success and that of our affiliates. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan”
within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase our common stock through
payroll deductions, which may not exceed 15% of the employee’s total compensation. Stock may be purchased under the plan
at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on either the first day of the offering or the last day of
the applicable purchase period, whichever is lower.
The initial number of shares of our common stock available to be issued under our ESPP was 2,071,428 shares.
Additionally, the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our ESPP will increase automatically
each year, beginning on January 1, 2015 and continuing through and including January 1, 2024, by the lesser of (i) 1% of the
total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year; (ii) 2,142,857
shares of common stock; or (iii) such lesser number as determined by our board of directors. Shares subject to purchase rights
granted under our ESPP that terminate without having been exercised in full will not reduce the number of shares available for
issuance under our ESPP.
We recorded approximately $4.2 million of stock-based compensation in 2014 related to our ESPP. We did not
record any stock-based compensation expense related to our ESPP in 2013 .

For stock-based compensation expense, we measure the value of the restricted stock based on the fair value of our
common stock on the date of grant. Our restricted stock grants may be subject to service only or service and performance-
based vesting conditions. We expense the fair value of restricted stock grants with service only vesting conditions on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards.
For shares subject to service and performance conditions, we evaluate the probability of meeting the vesting
conditions at the end of each reporting period to determine how much compensation expense to record. We amortize the fair
value, net of estimated forfeitures, as stock-based compensation expense using the graded vesting method over the vesting
periods of the awards. To the extent that actual results or updated estimates differ from our original estimates, the cumulative
effect on current and prior periods of those changes will be recorded in the period those estimates are revised. In May 2014, in
conjunction with the termination of certain employees, we accelerated the vesting of and repurchased or cancelled shares of
restricted stock. The stock-based compensation expense recorded in 2014 includes the remaining compensation expense
associated with those shares as well as expense of $401,000 associated with the modification of the awards. As of December
31, 2014, performance conditions associated with the remaining unvested restricted stock awards subject to service and
performance conditions have been met.
In 2014 we began granting restricted stock units under our 2014 Plan. For stock-based compensation expense, we
measure the value of the restricted stock units based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. In 2014 we
recorded approximately $307,000 in compensation expense related to the restricted stock units. Our restricted stock unit
grants are subject to service conditions and we expense the fair value of those shares on a straight-line basis over their vesting
periods.

The aggregate pretax intrinsic value of vested options exercised in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $5.4 million, $1.8
million and $1.2 million, respectively. The intrinsic value is the difference between the estimated fair value of the
Company’s common stock at the date of exercise and the exercise price for in-the-money options. The aggregate fair value of
shares vested in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $ 6.6 million, $4.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The weighted-average
grant-date fair value of options granted in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $4.09 , $2.46 and $1.64 per share, respectively.

The fair value of each grant of stock options was determined by us using the methods and assumptions discussed
below. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.
Expected Term— The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are
expected to be outstanding. For option grants that are considered to be “plain vanilla”, we have opted to use the
simplified method for estimating the expected term as provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
simplified method calculates the expected term as the average of time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options.
Expected Volatility— The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical
volatilities of a group of industry peers, as we did not have any trading history for our common stock. We will continue
to analyze our historical stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more historical data for our common
stock becomes available.
88
Table of Contents
Risk-Free Interest Rate— The risk free rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury instruments with terms that
were consistent with the expected term of our stock options.
Expected Dividend— The expected dividend assumption was based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts.
Forfeiture Rate— Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
Fair Value of Common Stock— Prior to the IPO, t he fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock
options was historically been the responsibility of and determined by our board of directors. Because there was no
public market for our common stock, the board of directors determined fair value of common stock at the time of grant
of the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including independent third-party valuations
of our common stock, sales of convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, operating and financial
performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other
factors. Following the closing of the IPO offering, the fair value of our common stock is determined based on the
closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
We used the Black-Scholes Model to estimate the fair value of our stock options granted to employees with the
following weighted-average assumptions:
Expected dividend yield

As required by Topic 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation, we estimate expected forfeitures and recognize
compensation costs only for those equity awards expected to vest. Our stock options granted in 2014 were typically granted
with vesting terms of 48 months.

Early Exercise of Common Stock
In 2014, 2013 and 2012 we issued 42,772 shares, 126,386 shares and 640,407 shares, respectively, of common stock
for the exercise of common stock options prior to their vesting dates, or early exercises. Cash received from all such early
exercises of options is recorded in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets and reclassified to stockholders’
equity (deficit) as the options vest. The unvested shares are subject to our repurchase right at the original purchase price.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were 117,187 and 465,260 shares, respectively, legally outstanding, but not
included within common stock outstanding for accounting purposes as a result of the early exercise of common stock options
which were not yet vested.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the aggregate price of shares subject to repurchase recorded in accrued expenses
totaled $294,000 and $938,000 , respectively.
11. Employee Benefit Plan
We maintain a defined contribution 401(k) plan. The plan covers all full-time U.S. employees over the age of 21 .
Each employee can contribute up to $17,500 annually. We have the option to provide matching contributions, but have not
done so to date.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
We lease our office facilities under noncancelable agreements expiring between 2014 and 2019. Rent expense in
2014, 2013 and 2012 was $2.6 million and $1.6 million and $935,000 , respectively. The aggregate future minimum lease
payments under the agreements are as follows (in thousands):

We are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property
litigation. Although management currently is of the opinion that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial statements, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time, due to the inherent
uncertainties in litigation.
On November 14, 2012, Good Technology filed a lawsuit against us in federal court in the Northern District of
California alleging false and misleading representations concerning their products and infringement of four patents held by
them. On March 1, 2013, we counterclaimed against Good Technology for patent infringement of one of our patents. On
October 13, 2014, the court issued a claims construction order. Good Technology responded by filing new patent infringement
suits against us in Delaware and internationally, and we have counterclaimed against them in the Delaware case on two of our
next generation patents. We are contesting Good Technology’s claims vigorously. Discovery is ongoing in the California
patent case, and a trial date has been set for July 2015. The final outcome, including our liability, if any, with respect to Good
Technology’s claims, is uncertain. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense
and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Indemnification
Under the indemnification provisions of our standard sales related contracts, we agree to defend and/or settle claims
brought by third parties against our customers alleging that the customer’s use of our software infringes the third party’s
intellectual property right, such as a patent right. These indemnification obligations are typically not subject to limitation;
however if it is commercially impractical for us to either procure the right for the customer to continue to use our software or
modify our software so that it’s not infringing, we typically can terminate the customer agreement and refund the customer a
portion of the license fees paid, prorated over the three year period from initial delivery. We also on occasion indemnify our
customers for other types of third party claims. In addition, we indemnify our officers, directors, and certain key employees
while they are serving in good faith in such capacities. Through December 31, 2014, we have not received any written claim
under any indemnification provision.
13. Segment Information
We conduct business globally. Our chief operating decision maker (Chief Executive Officer) reviews financial
information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by information about revenue by geographic region for purposes
of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. We have one business activity, and there are no segment
managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for levels, components or types of products or
services below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, we are considered to be in a single reportable segment and operating
unit structure.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Because we have reported a net loss for 2014, 2013 and 2012, the number of shares used to
calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common
share for those periods presented because the potentially dilutive shares would have been anti-dilutive if included in the
calculation.
The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted
weighted-average shares outstanding because such securities have an antidilutive impact due to losses reported (in common
stock equivalent shares):

Income tax expense for 2014 and 2013 relates to state minimum income tax and income tax on our earnings in
foreign jurisdictions. A significant portion of our international income is earned by foreign branches of our United States
parent corporation and thus is already subject to United States taxation. The income of our foreign branches has been included
as part of the United States jurisdiction in the table above. The benefit for income taxes for 2012 relates primarily to the
release of a valuation allowance of $1.6 million associated with nondeductible intangible assets recorded as part of the Push
and Forgepond acquisitions, partially offset by state minimum income tax and income tax on our earnings in foreign
jurisdictions. In connection with the acquisitions of Push and Forgepond, a deferred tax liability was established for the book-
tax basis differences related to the non-goodwill intangible assets. The net deferred tax liability from these acquisitions creates
an additional source of income to offset our deferred tax assets. As such, the impact on the acquiring company’s deferred tax
assets and liabilities caused by an acquisition are recorded in the acquiring company’s consolidated financial statements
outside of acquisition accounting.
The components of net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Our accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of our
net deferred tax assets. We primarily considered such factors as our history of operating losses, the nature of our deferred tax
assets and the timing, likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences and carryforwards become deductible. At present, we do not believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred
tax assets will be realized; accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established and no deferred tax asset is shown in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2014, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $126. 4 million and $50.8
million available to reduce future taxable income, if any, for both federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The
federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning 2027 and 2017, respectively.
We had federal and California R&D tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2014 of $4.7 million and $5.0 million,
respectively. If not utilized, the federal R&D tax credit carryforward will expire in various portions beginning 2027. The
California R&D tax credit can be carried forward indefinitely.
A limitation may apply to the use of the net operation loss and credit carryforwards, under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code that are applicable if we experience an “ownership change”. That may occur, for example, as a result of trading
in our stock by significant investors as well as issuance of new equity. Should these limitations apply, the carryforwards
would be subject to an annual limitation, resulting in a substantial reduction in the gross deferred tax
94
Table of Contents
assets before considering the valuation allowance. Further, a portion of the carryforwards may expire before being applied to
reduce future earnings.
As a result of certain realization requirements of ASC 718, the table of deferred tax assets and liabilities shown
above does not include certain deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 that arose directly from tax deductions
related to equity compensation in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting. Equity will be increased by $2.2
million if and when such deferred tax assets are ultimately realized. We use ASC 740 ordering when determining when excess
tax benefits have been realized.
We follow the provisions of ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740-10 prescribes a
comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in financial statements of uncertain tax
positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. No non-current liability related to uncertain tax
positions is recorded in the financial statements as the deferred tax assets have been presented net of these unrecognized tax
benefits. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, our reserve for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $2. 8 million and $1.7
million, respectively. Due to the full valuation allowance at December 31, 2014, current adjustments to the unrecognized tax
benefit will have no impact on our effective income tax rate; any adjustments made after the valuation allowance is released
will have an impact on the tax rate. We do not anticipate any significant change in our uncertain tax positions within 12
months of this reporting date. We include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of other
expense and interest expense, respectively, as necessary.
A reconciliation of the gross unrealized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year
Gross increases—tax positions from prior periods
Gross increases—tax positions from current period
Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year

We are subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2014,
the statute of limitations is open for all tax years from inception, that is, for the period from July 23, 2007 (date of inception)
to December 31, 2014 and forward for federal, state and foreign tax purposes.
16. Subsequent Events
In January 2015, we expanded our office facilities in the U.S. and international locations with additional lease
commitments totaling $2.2 million. The leases expire at various dates up to 2020.
In February 2015, our board of directors approved the establishment of the 2015 Executive Bonus Plan and 2015
Non-executive Bonus Plan, or Bonus Plans. The amounts under the Bonus Plan are expected to be paid in the first quarter of
2016 in shares of unrestricted common stock. The Bonus Plans are funded based on the achievement of certain Company
metrics.
In February 2015, we granted 3.2 million restricted stock units to new and existing employees and officers that vest
pursuant to time-based vesting criteria set by our Compensation Committee, which is generally four years.

Item 9 A. Controls and Procedures
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
95
Table of Contents
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.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated , with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and
procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means
controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a
company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to provide a reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in
the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December
31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are
required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act were (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and
report ed to our management, including our Chief Executive Offi cer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control
over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established
by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes 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 quarter ended December 31, 2014
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Participant for this Bonus Plan Year are equal to 4 5% of the Participant’s 2015 annual base salary .
E ach Participant ’s Target Bonus will be based on the achievement by the Company of performance targets for
gross billings and non-GAAP operating margin achieved in 2015, adjusted upward or downward to the extent that the
Company exceed s or do es not meet these targets. Bonus payments are conditioned on the Company achieving a
minimum percentage threshold of these targets, and funding of the Bonus Plan will scale upward to the extent the
Company exceed s these minimum per centages . To the extent that the Company exceed s the performance targets for
both gross billings and non-GAAP operating margin, Target Bonuses may be increased, subject to a cap of 115% of the
Target Bonus , in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board, as applicable . Bonuses are to be paid

corporate portion of the Target Bonus .
The Board and the Compensation Committee retain the discretion to adjust awards based upon any other factors
determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, to be relevant.
Bonuses are deemed earned as of the last day of the applicable Bonus Plan Year (December 31). As set forth in
Section 3, Participant s must be employed on the date bonuses are deemed earned to earn a bonus for that
Bonus Plan Year. Accordingly, any Participant whose employment terminates (for any reason) during the Bonus Plan
Year and prior to December 31 will not be eligible for, and will not earn, a bonus for that Bonus Plan Year (including
any partial or prorated bonus).
