−Removed: The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative SSP.
−Removed: To determine SSP the Company maximizes the use of observable standalone sales and observable data where available.
−Removed: In instances where performance obligations do not have observable standalone sales, the Company utilizes available information that may include market conditions, pricing strategies, the economic life of the software, and other observable inputs and uses the expected cost plus margin approach to estimate the price the Company would charge if the products and services were sold separately.

+Added: For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative SSPs.
+Added: For the license and subscription components of self-managed arrangements, the Company utilizes an expected cost-plus margin approach that considers historical development costs for licensed features and estimated cost to provide support, maintenance, and software to determine SSP.

−Removed: • We performed sensitivity analyses over the Company’s assumptions used to determine the SSPs to identify the costs to develop the paid features as the key assumption and to assess the impact of changes in the assumption on the Company’s SSPs.
−Removed: • We assessed the reasonableness of the key assumption by comparing it to historical data, internal data, and relevant peer data, where available.
−Removed: • We evaluated the data utilized by management to estimate the cost to develop the paid features by examining a selection of requests to merge code and interviewing the Company’s engineering team.
+Added: We assessed the reasonableness of the key assumptions by comparing them to historical data, internal data and relevant peer data, where available.

Revenue Recognition
−Removed: The Company generates revenue primarily from offering self-managed (on-premise) and SaaS subscriptions.
−Removed: Revenue is also generated from professional services, including consulting and training.
−Removed: In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the promised products and services.
−Removed: The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and services.
−Removed: To achieve the core principle of this standard, the Company applies the following five-step model as a framework:
−Removed: 1) Identify the contract with a customer.
−Removed: We consider the terms and conditions of our arrangements with customers to identify contracts under ASC 606.
−Removed: We consider that we have a contract with a customer when the contract is approved, we can identify each party's rights regarding the products and services to be transferred, we can identify the payment terms for the products and
−Removed: services, we have determined the customer has the ability and intent to pay, and the contract has commercial substance.
−Removed: We apply judgment in determining the customer's ability and intent to pay, which is based upon factors including the customer's historical payment experience or, for new customers, credit and financial information pertaining to the customers.
−Removed: At contract inception, we also evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract.
−Removed: Further, contract modifications generally qualify as a separate contract.
−Removed: The typical term of a subscription contract for a self-managed or SaaS offering is one to three years .
−Removed: Our contracts are non-cancelable over the contract term and we act as principal in all our customer contracts.
−Removed: Customers have the right to terminate their contracts generally only if we breach the contrac t and we fail to remedy the breach in accordance with the contractual terms.
−Removed: 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract .
−Removed: Performance obligations in our contracts are identified based on the products and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the product or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
−Removed: Our self-managed subscriptions include two performance obligations:
−Removed: (i) to provide access to proprietary features in our software, and (ii) to provide support and maintenance (including the combined obligation to provide software updates on a when-and-if-available basis).
−Removed: Our SaaS products provide access to hosted software as well as support, which is evaluated to be a single performance obligation.
−Removed: Services-related performance obligations relate to the provision of consulting and training services.
−Removed: These services are distinct from subscriptions and do not result in significant customization of the software.
−Removed: Some of our customers have the option to purchase additional licenses or renew at a stated price.
−Removed: These options are evaluated on a case-by-case basis but generally do not provide a material right as they are either at the same price as the existing licenses or are within our range of standalone selling price (“SSP”) and, as such, would not result in a separate performance obligation.
−Removed: Where material rights are identified in our contracts, they are treated as separate performance obligations.
−Removed: 3) Determine the transaction price .
−Removed: We determine transaction price based on the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring products and services to the customer.
−Removed: Our contracts are non-refundable and non-cancellable.
−Removed: We do not offer refunds, rebates, or credits to our customers in the normal course of business.
−Removed: For contracts with a one year term, we applied a practical expedient available under ASC 606 and therefore do not make an evaluation for the existence of a significant financing component.
−Removed: In these contracts, at contract inception, the period between when we expect to transfer a promised product or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less.
−Removed: For contracts with terms of more than a year, we have applied judgment in determining that advance payments in such contracts are not collected with the primary intention of availing finance and therefore, do not represent a significant financing component.
−Removed: Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to governmental entities (e.g., sales tax and other indirect taxes).
−Removed: We do not offer the right of refund in our contracts.
−Removed: 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
−Removed: If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation.
