(in thousands, except per share data unless otherwise noted)
The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in the Annual Report of Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. incorporated by reference in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company has no unconsolidated subsidiaries or investments accounted for under the equity method. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

2. Basis of Presentation
For further information about the Companys basis of presentation or its significant accounting policies, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
In connection with the Spatial Systems Nominees PTY LTD (Spatial) acquisition, the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been recast to include retrospective purchase accounting adjustments. These adjustments pertain to measurement period adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2013 based on the reclassification and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Spatial acquisition. The effect on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012, as a result of the recast, is a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.6 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $5.0 million, an increase in goodwill of $11.8 million, an increase in accrued expenses of $4.6 million, and an increase in deferred revenues of $9.6 million.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 which requires additional disclosures regarding the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The Companys adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, which permits an entity to release cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held. The revised standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to significantly impact on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Earnings per Common Share
The Company calculates basic and diluted per share amounts based on net earnings adjusted for the effects to earnings that would result if contingently issuable shares related to contingent consideration to be settled in the Companys stock were reported as equity for the periods presented. To calculate basic earnings per share, the Company uses the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the weighted average number of contingently issuable shares. The weighted average numbers of shares contingently issuable are calculated as if they were outstanding as of the last day of the period. The diluted earnings per share calculation is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted for the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had all potentially dilutive common shares been issued. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options, non-vested share awards and contingently issuable shares related to contingent consideration to be settled in stock. The dilutive effects of stock options and restricted stock awards are based on the treasury stock method. The dilutive effects of the contingent consideration to be settled in stock are calculated as if the contingently issuable shares were outstanding as of the beginning of the period. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income attributable to common stockholders per common share. Stock options that are anti-dilutive and excluded from the following table totaled 1,841 and 1,171 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

4. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities
The Company classifies marketable securities as available-for-sale. The fair value hierarchy established in the guidance adopted by the Company prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:
· Level 1 Observable inputs quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
· Level 2 Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities includes quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and
· Level 3 Unobservable inputs includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require the Company to develop relevant assumptions.
The following is a summary of assets and liabilities held by the Company and their related classifications under the fair value hierarchy:
|
|

|

Total |

$ |

|
$ |
48,490 |
|
(A) Level 1 assets include money market funds and enhanced income money market funds which are classified as cash equivalents and marketable securities, respectively.
(B) Level 2 assets include certificates of deposit, municipal bonds and corporate bonds which are classified as marketable securities.
(C) Level 3 liabilities include the contingent consideration obligation.
The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The Companys marketable securities investments classified as Level 2 primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities. No transfers of assets between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The aggregate fair value of available-for-sale securities and aggregate amount of unrealized gains and losses for available for sale securities at March 31, 2013 were as follows:

Unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders equity. The cost of securities sold is based on specific identification method. The Company evaluates investments with unrealized losses to determine if the losses are other than temporary. The Company has determined that the gross unrealized losses at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are temporary. In making this determination, the Company considered the financial condition, credit ratings and near-term prospects of the issuers, the underlying collateral of the investments, and the magnitude of the losses as compared to the cost and the length of time the investments have been in an unrealized loss position. Additionally, while the Company classifies the securities as available for sale, the Company does not currently intend to sell such investments and it is more likely than not to recover the carrying value prior to being required to sell such investments.
The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from quarterly revenue estimates and a probability assessment with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various performance criteria. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Companys contingent consideration obligation are the probabilities of achieving certain financial targets and contractual milestones. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those probabilities in isolation may result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. No changes in valuation techniques occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The changes in fair value of the Companys Level 3 contingent consideration obligation during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:

5. Acquisition
Spatial Systems Nominees PTY LTD (Spatial)
On November 30, 2012 the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Spatial, an Australian company with operations in the U.S., for total cash consideration of $31.0 million and issued approximately 240 shares of the Companys Common Stock. The total cash consideration was comprised of $30.0 million for the purchase of all of the shares of Spatial and $625 for the estimated surplus working capital on the date of purchase. Of the 240 shares of the Companys Common Stock issued, only a portion valued at approximately $1.4 million based on the Companys November 30, 2012 closing stock price per share was considered purchase price. The remaining value of the shares will be recognized as compensation expense and amortized over the service period of three years. In addition, the Company potentially may make payments totaling up to approximately $5.0 million in cash and may issue up to 260 shares of stock based on the ability to achieve a range of business objectives for the period from December 1, 2012 through November 30, 2013.
The Company accounted for this business combination by applying the acquisition method, and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible assets and liabilities, approximately $36.1 million was recorded as goodwill, which is not tax deductible. The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase allocation, thus the provisional measures of deferred revenue, deferred income taxes, intangibles and goodwill are subject to change. The purchase price allocation will be finalized in 2013.
The Company believes that Spatial will help to augment the Companys activation services offerings with more powerful broadband bundled offerings and expand into new and emerging markets. In addition, the acquisition of Spatial will help to increase the Companys penetration of its domestic customer base and expand the Companys engagements in the Asia-Pacific markets.

The Company prepared an initial determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date using preliminary information. In accordance with ASC 805, during the measurement period an acquirer shall retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company has recognized measurement period adjustments made during the first quarter of 2013 to the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the further refinements in the Companys provisional amounts. These adjustments were retrospectively applied to the November 30, 2012 acquisition date balance sheet. The effect of these adjustments on the preliminary purchase price allocation was a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.6 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $5.0 million, an increase to goodwill of $11.8 million, an increase in accrued expenses of $4.6 million, and an increase to deferred revenues of $9.6 million. None of the adjustments had a material impact on the Companys previously reported results of operations.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, as adjusted:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On February 1, 2012, the Company established a ten year Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP or the Plan) for certain eligible employees. The Plan is to be administered by the Companys Board of Directors. The total number of shares available for purchase under the Plan is 500 shares of the Companys Common Stock. Employees participate over a six month period through payroll withholdings and may purchase, at the end of the six month period, the Companys Common Stock at the lower of 85% of the fair market value on the first day of the offering period or the fair market value on the purchase date. No participant will be granted a right to purchase Common Stock under the Plan if such participant would own more than 5% of the total combined voting power of the Company. In addition, no participant may purchase more than a thousand shares of Common Stock within any purchase period.
The expected life of ESPP shares is the average of the remaining purchase period under each offering period. The assumptions used to value employee stock purchase rights during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $178 and $91, respectively, of compensation expense related to the ESPP. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company sold a total of 35 shares of its Treasury Stock pursuant to purchases under its ESPP Plan. Cash received from purchases through the ESPP Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2013, was approximately $670 and is included within the financing activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. There were no shares purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The total unrecognized compensation expense related to the ESPP as of March 31, 2013 was approximately $219, which is expected to be recognized over the remainder of the offering period.
7. Restructuring Charges
In January 2013, the Company initiated a work-force reduction of approximately 10 percent as part of a corporate restructuring, with reductions occurring across all levels and departments within the Company. This measure was intended to reduce costs and to align the Companys resources with its key strategic priorities. Additionally, in relation to the work-force reduction, the Company initiated a facilities consolidation, beginning the process of closing one of its leased locations in Seattle, WA. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $4.6 million and $555 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 for employment termination costs and minimum lease payments, respectively. At March 31, 2013, the restructuring charges that were unpaid and classified under accrued expenses on the balance sheet related to employment termination costs and the facilities consolidation were $1.6 million and $512, respectively.

9. Income Taxes
The Company recognized approximately $679 thousand in related tax benefit and $3.0 million in related tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Companys effective tax rate was not meaningful for the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to a small pre-tax loss and due to recognizing the 2012 tax credit for research and experimentation expenses as a discrete benefit in the quarter, in accordance with the date of enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The Companys effective tax rate was approximately 35.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was the same as the Companys U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the net of a permanent GAAP to tax differences included in the annual forecasted income, state taxes, increased profits in foreign jurisdictions, which have lower tax rates than the U.S., and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration. The Company reviews the expected annual effective income tax rate and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income, changes to the actual and forecasted permanent book-to-tax differences, and changes resulting from the impact of tax law changes.
10. Legal Matters
The Company is not currently subject to any legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on its operations; however, it may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is currently involved in several patent infringement cases. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of the cases at this time due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company continues to pursue its claims and believes that the counterclaims are without merit, and the Company intends to defend all of such counterclaims.
11. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and transactions through the filing date.

Overview
We are a mobile innovation company that provides software-based activation and personal cloud solutions for connected devices across the globe. Such solutions include device and service procurement, provisioning, activation, support, intelligent connectivity management and content synchronization, back-up and sharing that enable communications service providers (CSPs), cable operators/multi-services operators (MSOs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with embedded connectivity (e.g. smartphones, laptops, tablets and mobile Internet devices, among others), e-Tailers/retailers and other customers to accelerate and monetize their go-to-market strategies for connected devices. This includes automating subscriber activation, order management, upgrades, service provisioning and connectivity and content management from any channel (e.g., e-commerce, telesales, enterprise, indirect and other retail outlets, etc.) to any communication service (e.g., wireless (3G, (EV-DO and HSPA), 4G, (LTE and WiMAX)), Wi-Fi, high speed access, local access, IPTV, cable, satellite TV, etc.) across any connected device type and content transfer, synchronize and share. Our global solutions touch all aspects of connected devices on the mobile Internet.
Our Activation Services and Personal Cloud platforms provide end-to-end seamless integration between customer-facing channels/applications, communication services, or devices and back-office infrastructure-related systems and processes. Our customers rely on our solutions and technology to automate the process of activation and content management for their customers devices while delivering additional communication services. Our platforms also support automated customer care processes through use of accurate and effective speech processing technology and enable our customers to offer their subscribers the ability to store in the Cloud their personal content and data which resides on their connected mobile devices, such as personal computers, smartphones and tablets. Our platforms are designed to be carrier-grade, high availability, flexible and scalable to enable multiple converged communication services to be managed across multiple distribution channels, including e-commerce, m-commerce, telesales, customer stores, indirect and other retail outlets, etc., allowing us to meet the rapidly changing and converging services and connected devices offered by our customers. We enable our customers to acquire, retain and service subscribers quickly, reliably and cost-effectively by enabling back-up, synchronization and sharing of subscriber content. Through the use of our platforms, our customers can simplify the processes associated with managing the customer experience for procuring, activating, connecting, synchronizing and social media sharing connected devices and services. The extensibility, scalability and relevance of our platforms enable new revenue streams and retention opportunities for our customers through new subscriber acquisitions, sale of new devices, accessories and new value-added service offerings in the Cloud, while optimizing their cost of operations and enhancing customer experience.
We currently operate in and market our solutions and services directly through our sales organizations in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Revenues
We generate a substantial portion of our revenues on a per-transaction or subscription basis, which is derived from contracts that extend up to 60 months from execution. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we derived approximately 65% and 69%, respectively, of our revenues from transactions processed and subscription arrangements. The remainder of our revenues was generated by professional services and licenses. The current mix of revenue represents lower transaction and subscription revenues
than we have historically experienced. This is a result of professional services and licenses associated with new arrangements with our customers. Our expectations are that the percentage of our transaction and subscription revenues will begin to increase moving forward once our Cloud services are more broadly applied.
Historically, our revenues have been directly impacted by the number of transactions processed. In recent years, the fourth quarter has had the highest volume of transactions processed due to increased consumer activation activity during the holiday season. The future success of our business depends on the continued growth of consumer and business transactions and, as such, the volume of transactions that we process could fluctuate on a quarterly basis. See Current Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations for certain matters regarding future results of operations.
Most of our revenues are recorded in U.S. dollars but as we continue to expand our footprint with international carriers and increase the extent of recording our international activities in local currencies we will become subject to currency translation risk that could affect our future net sales.
Our five largest customers, AT&T, Comcast, NBN Co., Verizon Wireless, and Vodafone, accounted for approximately 74% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to our five largest customers, AT&T, Level 3 Communications, Time Warner Cable, Verizon Wireless, and Vodafone, which accounted for 85% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012. AT&T and Verizon Wireless are the only customers that accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. See Risk Factors for certain matters bearing risks on our future results of operations.
Our agreement with AT&T was automatically renewed through December 2013 and will automatically renew each year unless either party notifies the other of its intention not to renew at least sixty days prior to the end of the then-current term. This agreement defines the work activities, transaction pricing, forecasting process, service level agreements and remedies associated with certain services performed by us for AT&Ts e-commerce organizations. The agreement provides for AT&T to pay us (i) monthly hosting fees, (ii) fees based on the number of transactions processed through our technology platform, (iii) fees based on manual processing services and (iv) fees for professional services rendered by us.
Costs and Expenses
Our costs and expenses consist of cost of services, research and development, selling, general and administrative, change in contingent consideration, depreciation and amortization and interest and other expense.
Cost of services includes all direct materials, direct labor, cost of facilities and those indirect costs related to revenues such as indirect labor, materials and supplies. Our primary cost of services is related to our information technology and systems department, including network costs, data center maintenance, database management and data processing costs, as well as personnel costs associated with service implementation, customer deployment and customer care. Also included in cost of services are costs associated with our exception handling centers and the maintenance of those centers. Currently, we utilize a combination of employees and third-party providers to process transactions through these centers.
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred unless they meet GAAP criteria for deferral and amortization. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility do not meet these criteria, and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense consists primarily of costs related to personnel, including salaries and other personnel-related expenses, consulting fees and the cost of facilities, computer and support services used in service technology development. We also expense costs relating to developing modifications and minor enhancements of our existing technology and services.
Selling, general and administrative expense consists of personnel costs including salaries, sales commissions, sales operations and other personnel-related expense, travel and related expense, trade shows, costs of communications equipment and support services, facilities costs, consulting fees and costs of marketing programs, such as internet and print. General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expense for our executive, administrative, legal, finance and human resources functions, facilities, professional services fees, audit, tax and bad debt expense.
Net change in contingent consideration obligation consists of the changes to the fair value estimate of the obligation to the former equity holders which resulted from our acquisitions. The estimate was based on the weighted probability of achieving certain financial targets and milestones. The contingent consideration obligation earn-out periods are no longer than 12 months in duration.
Restructuring charges consist of the costs associated with the January 2013 work-force reduction plan to reduce costs and align our resources with our key strategic priorities. The restructuring charges include employee termination costs and facilities consolidation costs related to minimum lease payments of a leased location that will be closed.
Depreciation relates to our property and equipment and includes our network infrastructure and facilities. Amortization primarily relates to trademarks, customer lists and technology acquired.
Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our lease financing obligations.
Current Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our on-demand business model enables delivery of our proprietary solutions over the Web as a service and has been driven by market trends such as various forms of device activations, order provisioning, local and mobile number portability (L/MNP), the implementation of new technologies, subscriber growth, competitive churn, network changes, growth of the emerging device market (i.e., smartphones, tablets, connected consumer electronics devices, etc.), need for Cloud-based content back up, synchronization and sharing, and a universal connectivity platform for all connected devices and consolidations in the industry. In particular, the emergence of order provisioning of e-commerce transactions for smartphone devices, wireless, VoIP, L/MNP, and other communication services surrounding the convergence of bundled services, as well as the recent cooperative activities between cable MSOs and wireless carriers, have increased the need for our services and we believe will continue to be a source of growth for us. New and emerging companies looking to offer wireless services also look towards us as a source of knowledge and technology.
To support our expected growth driven by the favorable industry trends mentioned above, we continue to look for opportunities to improve our operating efficiencies, such as the utilization of offshore technical and non-technical resources for our exception handling center management as well as routine software maintenance activities. We believe that these opportunities will continue to provide future benefits and position us to support revenue growth. In addition, we anticipate further automation of the transactions generated by our more mature customers and additional transaction types. Our cost of services can fluctuate from period to period based upon the level of automation and the on-boarding of new transaction and service types.
We continue to advance our plans for the expansion of our platforms footprint with international carriers to support connected devices and multiple networks through our focus on transaction management and Cloud-based services for back up, synchronization and sharing of content. Our initiatives with AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone and other CSPs continue to grow along with our account presence with connected device OEMs. We are also exploring additional opportunities through merger and acquisition activities to support our customer, product and geographic diversification strategies.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to utilize accounting policies and make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a fiscal period. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to a companys financial condition and results of operations, and if it requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application. We have discussed the selection and development of the critical accounting policies with the audit committee of our board of directors, and the audit committee has reviewed our related disclosures in this Form 10-Q. Although we believe that our judgments and estimates are appropriate, correct and reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from those estimates. If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected. See Risk Factors for certain matters bearing risks on our future results of operations.
We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations:
· Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
· Income Taxes
· Goodwill and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
· Business Combinations
· Stock-Based Compensation
· Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our Form 10-K during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Please refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a more complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012
The following table presents an overview of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
* Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization which is shown separately.
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased $13.7 million to $78.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. This increase was due primarily to the expansion of our services provided to our Tier 1 mobile operator relationships and some contribution from our newly acquired customers. Transaction and subscription revenues as a percentage of sales were 65% or $51.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 69% or $44.2 million for the same period in 2012. Professional service and license revenues as a percentage of sales were 35% or $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 31% or $20.4 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in professional services and license revenue is primarily due to the expansion of services and license agreements due to new projects primarily relating to Cloud services with existing and new customers.
Net revenues related to Activation Services increased $8.3 million to $54.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Net revenues related to Activation Services represented 70% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 72% for the same period in 2012. Net revenues related to our Personal Cloud Services increased by $5.4 million to $23.5 million of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Net revenues related to our Personal Cloud Services represented 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 28% for the same period in 2012.
Expenses
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $3.5 million to $32.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due primarily to an increase of $2.7 million in our personnel related costs due primarily to an increase in headcount as a result of our continued growth in existing and new programs with our current customers and recent acquisitions. There was also an increase of $3.5 million in telecommunication and facility costs related to the increased call volume and capacity associated with our data facilities. The increases in cost of services were offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in outside consulting expense, due to our increased productivity and cost saving from changes in our third party exception handling vendors. Cost of services as a percentage of revenues decreased to 41.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to 44.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of increases in professional services and highly automated transaction revenues which have higher margins.
Research and Development. Research and development expense increased $3.8 million to $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to headcount increases. Personnel and related costs increased $3.8 million. The increase in personnel and related costs was due primarily to an increase in headcount through acquisitions and our continued growth as we further expand the capabilities of our offerings, as well as investing in several early-stage customer deployments. Research and development expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 21.4% for three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 19.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $4.3 million to $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, due to headcount increases. Personnel and related costs increased $2.6 million. The increase in personnel and related costs was primarily due to an increase in headcount as a result of our continued growth in existing and new programs with our current customers and recent acquisitions. There was also an increase of $1.0 million in professional services related to accounting and legal costs as a result of our acquisition and patent activity and an increase of $746 thousand in telecommunications and facility costs as a result of our acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 18.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 16.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Net change in contingent consideration obligation. The net change in contingent consideration obligation resulted in a $433 thousand increase of the contingent consideration obligation for the three months ended March 31, 2013 driven by changes in the fair value estimates related to the weighted probability of achieving revenue and product milestones for the SpeechCycle, Inc. (SpeechCycle) and Spatial Systems Nominees PTY Limited (Spatial) Earn-outs and changes in our stock price. The $780 thousand reduction of the fair value change in the contingent consideration liability for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was due to the change in the estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation related to the Sapience Knowledge Systems, Inc. (SKS) and Miyowa S.A. (Miyowa) Earn-outs, primarily due to changes in the probability of achieving product milestones and operational efficiencies.
Restructuring charges. Restructuring charges were $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as a result of the January 2013 work-force reduction plan to reduce costs and align our resources with our key strategic priorities. We recorded restructuring charges of $4.6 million and $555 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2013 for employment termination costs and minimum lease payments, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.8 million to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, primarily related to the amortization of our newly acquired intangible assets of SpeechCycle, Spatial and Newbay Software Limited. There was also an increase in depreciable fixed assets necessary for the continued expansion of our platforms. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 11.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to 8.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $8.1 million to $201 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. This was due primarily to restructuring charges related to our work-force reduction and facilities consolidation to align our resources with our key strategic priorities. Income from operations as a percentage of revenues decreased to 0.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to 12.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Interest income. Interest income decreased $312 thousand to $86 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Interest income decreased primarily due to a reduction of our cash and investment balances as a result of our recent acquisitions.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $7 thousand to $232 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Interest expense decreased due to interest related to uncertain tax positions.
Other expense. Other expense increased $272 thousand to $258 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. Other expense increased primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Income Tax. We recognized approximately $679 thousand in related tax benefit and $3.0 million in related tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our effective tax rate was not meaningful for the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to a small pre-tax loss and due to recognizing the 2012 tax credit for research and experimentation expenses as a discrete benefit in the quarter, in accordance with the date of enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Our effective tax rate was approximately 35.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was the same as our U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the net of a permanent GAAP to tax differences included in the annual forecasted income, state taxes, increased profits in foreign jurisdictions, which have lower tax rates than the U.S., and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration. We review the expected annual effective income tax rate and make changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income, changes to the actual and forecasted permanent book-to-tax differences, and changes resulting from the impact of tax law changes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance was $67.1 million at March 31, 2013, an increase of $10.2 million as compared to the balance at December 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash generated from operations and the exercise of stock options was offset by the purchase of fixed assets. We anticipate that our principal uses of cash in the future will be to fund the expansion of our business through both organic growth as well as possible acquisition activities and the expansion of our customer base internationally. Uses of cash will also include facility and technology expansion, capital expenditures, and working capital.
Discussion of Cash Flows
Cash flows from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $15.2 million, as compared to $6.6 million cash provided for the same period in 2012. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $8.6 million as compared to 2012 is primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable collections and operating income excluding depreciation and amortization. We also made cash payments related to taxes and leased facilities in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Cash flows from investing. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $6.2 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $2.1 million as compared to 2012 is primarily due to increased purchases of property and equipment related to our continued investments in our global information technology and business systems infrastructure offset by fewer purchases of marketable securities.
Cash flows from financing. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $6.1 million, as compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $3.1 million as compared to 2012 is primarily due to an increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from our existing operations will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
Effect of Inflation
Although inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and equipment, we do not believe that inflation has had any material effect on our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 which requires additional disclosures regarding the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. Our adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, which permits an entity to release cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided, or, if a controlling financial interest is no longer held. The revised standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013; however, early adoption is permitted. We do not expect adoption of this ASU to significantly impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. We believe our exposure associated with these market risks has not changed materially since December 31, 2012.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We conduct business outside the U.S. in several currencies including the British Pound Sterling, Euro, Australian Dollar, and Indian Rupee. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates for the period for revenues and expenses.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Although our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, we may conduct business and incur costs in the local currencies of other countries in which we may operate, make sales and buy materials. As a result, we are subject to currency translation risk. Further, changes in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar could affect our future net sales and cost of sales and could result in exchange losses.
We cannot accurately predict future exchange rates or the overall impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our business, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent that our international activities recorded in local currencies increase in the future, our exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates will correspondingly increase and hedging activities may be considered if appropriate.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2013, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 that was conducted during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are not currently subject to any legal proceedings that could have a material adverse effect on our operations; however, we may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. For instance, on October 4, 2011, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Civ Act. No. 3:11-cv-05811 FLW-TJB) against Assurion, Inc. (Assurion), claiming that Assurion has infringed, and continues to infringe, several of our patents. On February 3, 2012, Assurion filed an answer to our complaint and asserted certain counterclaims that our patents at issue are invalid. In addition, on November 21, 2011, we filed an amended complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Civ Act. No. 3:11-cv-06713) against OnMobile Global Limited, VoxMobili, Inc. and VolMobili, S.A. (collectively, VoxMobili), claiming that VoxMobili has infringed, and continues to infringe, several of our patents. On April 2, 2012, VoxMobili filed an answer to our complaint and asserted certain counterclaims that our patents at issue are invalid. On March 23, 2013, the Court stayed both the Assurion and VoxMobili actions pending reexamination of several asserted patents in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Although due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot predict the outcome of the actions at this time, we continue to pursue our claims and believe that the Assurion and VoxMobili counterclaims are without merit, and we intend to defend all of such counterclaims.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose part or all of their investment.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not Applicable.
None.
