Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of SPS Commerce, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
This interim financial information has been prepared under the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We have included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to provide a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note A to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 , as filed with the SEC, for additional information regarding our significant accounting policies.

NOTE B – Business Acquisitions
InterTrade
Effective October 4, 2022, we acquired all of the outstanding equity ownership interests of Canadian based InterTrade Systems Inc.

Pursuant to the definitive agreement, the purchase price was $ 49.1 million, including estimated post-closing adjustments. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, provisional amounts were adjusted by $ 3.1 million, primarily relating to a $ 3.9 million decrease in estimated value of intangible assets and the corresponding $ 1.0 million change to the deferred tax position, with the offsets to goodwill. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no significant adjustments made to provisional amounts. The purchase accounting has been finalized as of September 30, 2023.
TIE Kinetix
Effective September 13, 2023, we acquired all of the outstanding equity ownership interests of TIE Kinetix Holding B.V.

We derive our revenues from the following revenue streams:

September 30, Nine Months Ended
September 30,
(in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022
Recurring revenues:
Fulfillment $ 110,900 $ 92,952 $ 318,069 $ 265,570

One-time revenues 8,290 7,933 25,750 23,574
Total revenue $ 135,661 $ 114,486 $ 391,945 $ 328,857
Revenues are the amount that reflects the consideration we are contractually and legally entitled to, as well as the amount we expect to collect, in exchange for those services.
Recurring Revenues
Recurring revenues consist of recurring subscriptions from customers that utilize our Fulfillment, Analytics, and Other supply chain management products. Revenue for these products is generally recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Our contracts with our recurring revenue customers are recurring in nature, generally ranging from monthly to annual, and generally allow the customer to cancel the contract for any reason with 30 to 90 days’ notice. Timing of billings varies by customer and by contract type and generally are either in advance or within 30 days of the service being performed.
Given that the recurring revenue contracts are for one year or less, we have applied the optional exemption to not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for recurring revenue contracts.
One-time Revenues
One-time revenues consist of set-up fees and miscellaneous fees from customers.
Set-up revenues
Set-up fees are specific for each connection a customer has with a trading partner. These nonrefundable fees are necessary for our customers to utilize our services and do not provide any standalone value. Many of our customers have connections with numerous trading partners. Set-up fees constitute a material renewal option right that provide customers a significant future incentive that would not be otherwise available to that customer unless they entered into the contract, as the set-up fees will not be incurred again upon contract renewal. As such, set-up fees and related costs are deferred and recognized ratably over two years which is the estimated period for which a material right is present for our customers.

NOTE K – Stock-Based Compensation
Our equity compensation plans provide for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, as well as other stock-based awards including performance share units (“PSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and deferred stock units (“DSUs”), to employees, non-employee directors and other consultants who provide services to us. We also provide an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and 401(k) match to eligible participants.
We recognize stock-based compensation expense based on grant date award fair value. This cost is recognized over the period for which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award or the award performance period, except for expenses relating to retirement-eligible employees that have not given their required notice, which is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the notice period prior to retirement. At September 30, 2023 , there were 12.8 million shares available for grant under approved equity compensation plans.
Stock-based compensation expense was allocated in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income as follows:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $ 56.29 per share. This was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Life (in years) 4.2

Performance Share Units, Restricted Stock Units and Awards, and Deferred Stock Units
In each of the quarters ended March 31, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 we granted PSU awards with a target performance level. These awards are earned based upon our Company’s total shareholder return as compared to an indexed total shareholder return over the course of a fiscal based three-year performance period, starting in the year of grant. Earned awards vest in the quarter following the conclusion of the performance period. In the three months ended March 31, 2023 , PSU awards granted in 2020 vested at the maximum performance level and 0.1 million shares of common stock were issued.
Activity for our PSUs, RSUs, RSAs, and DSUs in aggregate was as follows:

NOTE L – Income Taxes
We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjust the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Our provisions for income taxes includes current federal, state, and foreign income tax expense, as well as deferred tax expense.
Differences between our effective tax rate and statutory tax rates are primarily due to the impact of permanently non-deductible expenses partially offset by the federal research and development credits and tax benefits associated with foreign-derived intangible income. Additionally, excess tax benefits generated upon settlement or exercise of stock awards are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense as a discrete tax item in the quarter that the event occurs, creating potentially significant fluctuation in tax expense by quarter and by year.
