NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Preparation—The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Fortinet, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which includes normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany balances, transactions and cash flows have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or for any future periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

In the third quarter of 2014, we reevaluated the selected functional currency of our international subsidiaries due to the nature of our business operations and recorded the cumulative impact of the reevaluation of the functional currency in the consolidated statement of operations. Subsequently, the remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of all international subsidiaries has been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations prospectively. The impact of this reevaluation was not material for 2014 or any of our previously issued financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11—Inventory—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. It applies to entities that measure inventory using a method other than last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method (e.g., first-in first-out, average cost). ASU 2015-11 will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-11 on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”) to create a single, joint revenue standard that is consistent across all industries and markets for companies that prepare their financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. As such, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2018, with the option to adopt earlier on January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and in total comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in Other expense—net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were not significant in any period presented.

The unrealized losses on our available-for-sale securities were caused by fluctuations in market value and interest rates as a result of the economic environment. As the decline in market value is attributable to changes in market conditions and not credit quality, and because we have concluded currently that we neither intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these investments prior to a recovery of par value, we do not consider these investments to be other-than temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2015.

 Fair Value Accounting—We apply the following fair value hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.

We measure the fair value of money market funds and certain U.S. government and agency securities using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of all other financial instruments was based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
 
We classify investments within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active markets for identical securities.
 
We classify items within Level 2 if the investments are valued using model driven valuations using observable inputs such as quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with

5. INVESTMENTS IN PRIVATELY-HELD COMPANIES

As of June 30, 2015, we had invested a total of $10.3 million in the equity securities of three privately-held companies. Each of these investments is accounted for as a cost-basis investment, as we own less than 20% of the voting securities and do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the respective entities. These investments are carried at historical cost and are recorded as Other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and would be measured at fair value if indicators of impairment existed.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, no events have occurred that would adversely affect the carrying value of these investments.

6. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the dilutive effects of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) including performance stock units (“PSUs”), and the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). Dilutive shares of common stock are determined by applying the treasury stock method.

Operating Leases—We lease certain facilities under various non-cancelable operating leases, which expire through 2025. In addition to the amounts above, certain leases require us to pay variable costs such as taxes, maintenance, insurance, and asset retirement obligations. The terms of certain operating leases also provide for renewal options and escalation clauses. Rent expense was $2.9 million and $2.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Rent expense was $6.0 million and $5.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Rent expense is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease.
    
Contract Manufacturer and Other Commitments—Our independent contract manufacturers procure components and build our products based on our forecasts. These forecasts are based on estimates of future demand for our products, which are in turn based on historical trends and analysis, adjusted for overall market conditions. In order to reduce manufacturing lead times and plan for adequate component supply, we may issue purchase orders to some of our independent contract manufacturers which may not be cancelable. As of June 30, 2015, we had $74.3 million of open purchase orders with our independent contract manufacturers.
 
In addition to commitments with contract manufacturers, we have other contractual commitments and open purchase orders in the ordinary course of business for which we have not received goods or services. As of June 30, 2015, we had $33.9 million in other contractual commitments and open purchase orders.

Litigation—We are involved in disputes, litigation, and other legal actions. For lawsuits where we are the defendant, we are in the process of defending these litigation matters, and while there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we currently believe that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation and these actions or other third-party claims against us may cause us to incur costly litigation or substantial settlement charges. In addition, the resolution of any intellectual property litigation may require us to make royalty payments, which could adversely affect our gross margins in future periods. If any of those events were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from our estimates, if any, which could result in the need to adjust the liability and record additional expenses. We have not recorded any significant accrual for loss contingencies associated with such legal proceedings; determined that a significant unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible; or determined that the amount or range of any possible loss is reasonably estimable.

Indemnification—Under the indemnification provisions of our standard sales contracts, we agree to defend our customers against third-party claims asserting various allegations such as damage resulting from product defects and infringement of certain intellectual property rights, which may include patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets, and to pay judgments entered on such claims. Our exposure under these indemnification provisions is generally limited by the terms of our contracts to certain defined limits, such as the total amount paid by our customer under the agreement. However, certain agreements include covenants and indemnification provisions including and beyond indemnification for third-party claims of intellectual property infringement and that could potentially expose us to losses in excess of the amount received under the agreement and, in some instances, to potential liability that is not contractually limited. To date, there have been no awards under such indemnification provisions.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

We have stock-based compensation plans pursuant to which we have granted stock options and RSUs, including PSUs. The Company also has an ESPP for all eligible employees.

As of June 30, 2015, total compensation expense related to unvested RSUs that were granted to employees and non-employees, but not yet recognized, was $207.6 million. This expense is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average vesting period of 3.0 years.

RSUs settle into shares of common stock upon vesting. Upon the vesting of the RSUs, we net-settle the RSUs and withhold a portion of the shares to satisfy minimum statutory employee withholding taxes. Total payment for the employees’ tax obligations to the taxing authorities is reflected as a financing activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Performance Stock Units

We have granted PSUs to certain of our executive officers and employees. PSUs granted to executive officers are based on the achievement of the market-based vesting conditions during the performance period, the final settlement of the PSUs will range between 0% and 150% of the target shares underlying the PSUs based on a specified objective formula approved by our Compensation Committee. The PSUs entitle our executive officers to receive a number of shares of our common stock based on the performance of our stock price over a two- or three-year period as compared to the NASDAQ Composite index for the same periods. PSUs granted to our employees who are not executive officers are based on the achievement of personal- and company-based performance vesting conditions during the performance period. The final settlement of these PSUs will range between 50% to 150% of the target shares underlying the PSUs based on specified objective formula approved by our Compensation Committee. The PSUs entitle such employees to receive a number of shares of our common stock based on a one year performance period, and vest equally in the second and third years. There were no PSUs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Share Repurchase Program

In December 2013, our Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized a Share Repurchase Program (“Program”) to repurchase up to $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock through December 31, 2014. Under the Program, share repurchases may be made by us from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or in open market transactions. The Program does not require us to purchase a minimum number of shares, and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. In October 2014, our Board extended the share repurchase authorization under the Program through December 31, 2015. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no shares repurchased under the Program. As of June 30, 2015, $122.5 million remains available for future share repurchases under the Program.

10. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 77% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to an effective tax rate of 49% for the same period last year. The effective tax rate was 54% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to an effective tax rate of 44% for the same period last year. The provision for income taxes for the periods presented is comprised of U.S. federal and state taxes, Singapore and other foreign income taxes, withholding tax, and transfer pricing allocations which impact jurisdictional income taxed at various tax rates. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, there were additional unrecognized tax benefits and non-deductible stock-based compensation expense that adversely impacted the quarterly effective tax rate.

FORTINET, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)



As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits were $52.4 million and $44.2 million, respectively. The total amount of $52.2 million in unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate. It is our policy to classify accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of June 30, 2015, we had accrued $5.2 million for estimated interest related to uncertain tax positions.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations is open for years that generated state net operating loss carryforwards and after 2009 for state jurisdictions. Additionally, we have foreign net operating losses that have an indefinite life. Generally, we are no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years prior to 2008. We are no longer subject to examination by U.S federal income tax authorities for tax years prior to 2010.

11. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS

Our tax-deferred savings plan under our 401(k) Plan, permits participating employees to defer a portion of their pre-tax earnings. In Canada, we have a Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan program (the “RRSP”) which permits participants to make tax deductible contributions. Our Board approved 50% matching contributions on employee contributions up to 4% of each employee’s eligible earnings. Our matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan and RRSP during the three months ended
June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Our matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan and RRSP during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were $1.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

12. SEGMENT AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer. Our 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 or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, we have determined that we have one operating segment, and therefore, one reportable segment.
Revenue by geographic region is based on the billing address of the customer. The following table sets forth revenue (in thousands):

14. FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES

Our sales contracts are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and therefore substantially all of our revenue is not subject to foreign currency translation risk. However, a substantial portion of our operating expenses incurred outside the U.S. are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Canadian dollar (“CAD”), the Euro (“EUR”), and the British Pound (“GBP”). To help protect against significant fluctuations in value and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in currency exchange rates, we engage in foreign currency risk management activities, including forward contracts, to hedge balance sheet items denominated in CAD. We do not use these contracts for speculative or trading purposes. All of the derivative instruments are with high quality financial institutions and we monitor the creditworthiness of these parties. These contracts typically have maturities of one month. We record changes in the fair value of forward exchange contracts related to balance sheet accounts as Other expense—net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Additionally, independent of any hedging activities, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in Other expense—net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our hedging activities are intended to reduce, but not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. As our hedging activities are relatively short-term in nature and are focused on CAD, long-term material changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against other foreign currencies, such as the EUR and GBP could adversely impact our operating expenses in the future.

The notional amount of our forward exchange contract to hedge balance sheet accounts were (in thousands):

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The son of one member of our Board of Directors (“Board”) is a partner of an outside law firm that we utilize for certain complex litigation matters. Expenses for legal services provided by the law firm related to matters that arose subsequent to the member joining our Board were $0.9 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Expenses for legal services provided by the law firm related to matters that arose subsequent to the member joining our Board were $2.8 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. Amounts due and payable to the law firm were $2.3 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Business Overview

We provide high performance cybersecurity solutions to some of the largest enterprises, service providers and government organizations across the globe, including a majority of the 2015 Fortune 100. Our cybersecurity solutions are fast

Table of Contents

and secure and designed to provide broad, high-performance protection against dynamic security threats while simplifying the information technology (“IT”) infrastructure of our end-customers worldwide.
 
Our flagship integrated network security solution consists of our FortiGate physical and virtual appliance platforms which are deployable in large enterprise, service provider and small and medium-sized business environments, and government organizations. These platforms provide a broad array of integrated security and networking functions to help protect data, applications, and users from network- and content-level security threats. These functions, which can be integrated in a variety of ways, include firewall, intrusion prevention, anti-malware, application control, virtual private network, web-filtering, vulnerability management, anti-spam, mobile security, wireless controller, and wide area network acceleration. Our FortiGate appliance platforms may be deployed as next generation firewalls, data center firewalls, unified threat management systems, internal segmentation firewalls, virtual machine firewalls or cloud firewalls. For wireless networked environments, we offer our FortiWiFi appliances, which integrate wireless access point capabilities into the FortiGate network security platform. Each FortiWiFi appliance provides secure access to the wired and wireless local area networks, as well as various wide area network connections.

The FortiGate platform includes our FortiASICs, which are specifically designed for accelerated processing of security and networking functions, and our FortiOS operating system, which provides the foundation for all FortiGate security functions. Our FortiGuard security subscription and FortiCare technical support services provide end-customers with access to dynamic updates to our application control, anti-malware, intrusion prevention, web filtering, and anti-spam functionality. Our security subscription services are based in part on intelligence gathered by FortiGuard Labs, a large team of threat researchers who detect threats and help protect our customers. By combining multiple proprietary security and networking functions with our purpose-built FortiASIC and FortiOS, our FortiGate solution delivers broad protection against dynamic security threats while reducing the operational burden and costs associated with managing multiple point products.

We complement our FortiGate product line with the FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer product families. FortiManager provides customers with centralized management of multiple FortiGate appliances while FortiAnalyzer provides customers with a single point of network log data collection. These products enable customers to implement security policies across large networks. The FortiGate platform can be expanded with a number of other security systems including email (FortiMail), endpoint (FortiClient), wireless access points (FortiAP), advanced threat protection (FortiSandbox), and application security (FortiWAF, FortiADC, and FortiDDoS).

We offer virtual appliances for the FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, FortiWeb, FortiMail, FortiCache, and FortiADC product lines that can be used in conjunction with traditional Fortinet physical appliances, such as FortiGate, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer, to help ensure the visibility, management, and protection of physical and virtual environments. We also offer on-demand cloud-based versions of FortiGate and FortiWeb.

Financial Highlights

Table of Contents

Revenue grew as our integrated security platform products put us in a strong competitive position in a robust security market. In addition, we continue to expand and upgrade our enterprise sales force, build out vertical-specific sales teams, strengthen partnerships with enterprise resellers, and gain from our prior sales investments. Our strategy is enabling us to gain market share, win new customers, and expand within existing customer accounts, especially in the large enterprise market. Aside from obtaining new customers, other levers to drive long-term growth and operating leverage include adding more functionality and value in our security and support service offerings to customers. We continue to grow the number of large deals with large enterprises, which is also key to our long-term growth and profitability strategy as these high-end customers tend to provide higher lifetime value and are beneficial to our business model over time.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, our revenue growth was primarily driven by our growth in the U.S. large enterprise market. We also continued to see diversity of product sales in our FortiGate product family due to increased demand across all product categories. Our high-end products (FortiGate 1000 to 5000 series) accounted for 45% of billings primarily driven by continued enterprise adoption of our high-end appliances such as the FortiGate1500D and 3700D series appliances. Our mid-range products (FortiGate 200 to 800 series) accounted for 24% of billings, and our entry-level products (FortiGate 20 to 100 series) accounted for 31% of billings. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, our high-end products (FortiGate1000 to 5000 series) accounted for 40% of billings primarily due to an increase in billings from large enterprise customers. Our mid-range products (FortiGate 200 to 800 series) accounted for 26% of billings, and our entry-level products (FortiGate 20 to 100 series) accounted for 34% of billings.
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, operating expenses increased compared to the same periods last year. The increase was primarily driven by our accelerated pace of hiring and continued investments to expand our sales coverage, grow our marketing capabilities, develop new products, and scale our customer support organization to meet the needs of our expanding customer base. Headcount, including full time equivalent employees, increased to 3,336 as of June 30, 2015 from 2,532 as of June 30, 2014.

Key Financial Metrics

We monitor the key financial metrics set forth below to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies. The following table summarizes revenue, deferred revenue, billings (non-GAAP), cash, cash equivalents and investments, net cash provided by operating activities, and free cash flow (non-GAAP). We discuss revenue below under “—Results of Operations,” and we discuss our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, and net cash provided by operating activities below under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Deferred revenue, billings (non-GAAP), and free cash flow (non-GAAP) are discussed immediately below the following table.

Deferred revenue. Our deferred revenue consists of amounts that have been invoiced but that have not yet been recognized as revenue. The majority of our deferred revenue balance consists of the unamortized portion of services revenue from FortiGuard security subscription and FortiCare technical support service contracts. We monitor our deferred revenue balance because it represents a significant portion of revenue to be recognized in future periods.

Billings (Non-GAAP).We define billings as revenue recognized plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period less any deferred revenue balances acquired from business combination(s) during the period, if any. We consider billings to be a useful metric for management and investors because billings drives deferred revenue, which is an important indicator of the health and viability of our business. There are a number of limitations related to the use of billings versus revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP. First, billings include amounts that have not yet been recognized

as revenue. Second, we may calculate billings in a manner that is different from peer companies that report similar financial measures. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding GAAP revenue and evaluating billings together with revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of billings to revenue, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is provided below:

Free cash flow (Non-GAAP). We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures (purchases of property and equipment). We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the acquisition of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, repurchasing outstanding common stock, and strengthening the balance sheet. Analysis of free cash flow facilitates management’s comparisons of our operating results to competitors’ operating results. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities as a means for evaluating liquidity is that free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash, cash equivalents and investments balance for the period because free cash flow excludes cash used for capital expenditures and also excludes cash provided by or used for other investing and financing activities. Management compensates for this limitation by providing information about our capital expenditures and other investing and financing activities on the face of the cash flow statement and under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” A reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is provided below:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, cost of revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. Our estimates include those related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation expense, valuation of inventory, warranty liabilities, investments, goodwill and other long-lived assets and accounting for income taxes.

Total revenue increased by $55.7 million, or 30%, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year. The Americas region grew by 39% as we saw continued strength in the U.S. enterprise market primarily driven by increased sales to large enterprise customers. The EMEA region grew by 33% due to strong sales performance across the region. The APAC region grew by 11% as we saw continued growth in certain parts of the region. Product revenue increased by $29.4 million, or 34%, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year. The increase in product revenue was primarily driven by greater sales volume in our FortiGate product family due to increased demand for each of our high-end, mid-range and entry-level product categories, and in particular for our high-end products for large enterprise customers.

Service revenue increased by $26.3 million, or 27%, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year due to the recognition of revenue from our deferred revenue balance consisting of FortiGuard security subscription and FortiCare technical support contracts sold to a larger customer base, particularly our large enterprise customers, as well as the renewals of similar contracts sold in earlier periods.
