Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of business and significant accounting policies Summary of business and significant accounting policies
GoPro, Inc. and its subsidiaries (GoPro or the Company) make it easy for the world to capture and share itself in immersive and exciting ways. The Company is committed to developing solutions that create an easy, seamless experience for consumers to capture, create and share engaging personal content. To date, the Company’s cameras, mountable and wearable accessories, and subscription services have generated substantially all of its revenue. The Company sells its products globally on its website, and through retailers and wholesale distributors. The Company’s global corporate headquarters are located in San Mateo, California.
Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31, and its fiscal quarters end on March 31, June 30 and September 30.
The Company’s operating results, financial position and cash flows for fiscal year 2020 were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the global impact of the pandemic began to emerge in the first quarter of 2020, the Company accelerated a shift in its sales channel strategy to focus more on direct-to-consumer sales through GoPro.com, and implemented a restructuring plan in April 2020, which primarily impacted the Company’s global workforce, sales and marketing expenses, and leased facilities. These actions were reflected in the Company’s financial results starting in the second quarter of 2020 by reducing on-going operating expenses and helped accelerate its ability to achieve profitability in the second half of 2020. In 2020, the Company also issued additional convertible senior notes and entered into a new credit facility thus providing sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial statements, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other future period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report) for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in its Annual Report.
Principles of consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include those related to revenue recognition and the allocation of the transaction price (including sales incentives, sales returns and implied post contract support), inventory valuation, product warranty liabilities, the valuation, impairment and useful lives of long-lived assets (property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets and goodwill), fair value of convertible senior notes, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The extent and continued impact of COVID-19 has been taken into account by management in making the significant assumptions and estimates related to the above; however, if the duration and spread of the outbreak, the impact on our customers, and the effect on our contract manufacturers, vendors and supply chain is different from the Company’s estimates and assumptions, then actual results could differ materially. Given the uncertainty with respect to COVID-19, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected.
Comprehensive income (loss). For all periods presented, comprehensive income (loss) approximated net income (loss). Therefore, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) have been omitted.
Revenue recognition. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of cameras, mounts and accessories, the related implied post contract support to customers and subscription services. The transaction price recognized as revenue represents the amount the Company expects to be entitled to and is primarily comprised of product revenue, net of returns and variable consideration, including sales incentives provided to customers.
The Company’s camera sales contain multiple performance obligations that can include four separate obligations: a) a camera hardware component (which may be bundled with hardware accessories) and the embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the camera component delivered at the time of sale, b) the implicit right to the Company’s downloadable free apps and software solutions, c) the implied right for the customer to receive post contract support after the initial sale (PCS), and d) a subscription service. The Company’s PCS includes the right to receive, on a when and if available basis, future unspecified firmware upgrades and features as well as bug fixes, and email and telephone support. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to the PCS performance obligation based on a cost-plus methodology and recognizes the associated revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the support period, which is estimated to be 15 months based on historical experience. The transaction price allocated to subscription services is based on the standalone selling price and is recognized ratably over the subscription term, with payments received in advance of services being rendered recorded in deferred revenue. The transaction price is allocated to the remaining performance obligations on a residual value methodology. The transaction price allocated to the delivered hardware, related embedded firmware and free software solutions are recognized as revenue at the time of sale, provided the conditions for recognition of revenue have been met.
The Company’s process to allocate the transaction price considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable, including: the level of support provided to customers, estimated costs to provide the Company’s support, the amount of time and cost that is allocated to the Company’s efforts to develop the undelivered elements, market trends in the pricing for similar offerings and the standalone selling price.
The Company's standard terms and conditions of sale for non-web-based sales do not allow for product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company grants limited rights of return, primarily to certain large retailers. The Company reduces revenue and cost of sales for the estimated returns based on analyses of historical return trends by customer class and other factors. An estimated return liability along with a right to recover assets are recorded for future product returns. Return trends are influenced by product life cycles, new product introductions, market acceptance of products, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality and other factors. Return rates may fluctuate over time but are sufficiently predictable to allow the Company to estimate expected future product returns.
For customers who purchase products directly from GoPro.com, the Company retains a portion of the risk of loss on these sales during transit, which are accounted for as fulfillment costs. The Company provides sales commissions to internal and external sales representatives which are earned in the period in which revenue is recognized. As a result, the Company expenses such costs as incurred.
Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 also included amounts related to the Company’s subscription services. The Company’s short-term and long-term deferred revenue balances totaled $32.8 million and $14.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $11.7 million and $5.8 million of revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Sales incentives. The Company offers sales incentives through various programs, including cooperative advertising, price protection, marketing development funds and other incentives. Sales incentives are considered to be variable consideration, which the Company estimates and records as a reduction to revenue at the date of sale. The Company estimates sales incentives based on historical experience, product sell-through and other factors.
Segment information. The Company operates as one operating segment as it only reports financial information on an aggregate and consolidated basis to its Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker.
Recent accounting standards
StandardDescriptionExpected date of adoption
Effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements or other significant matters
Standards not yet adopted
Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)
ASU No. 2020-06

This standard simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible debt instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Specifically, the standard removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible debt feature qualifies as a derivative under ASC 815 or if the convertible debt was issued at a substantial premium. This standard also removes certain settlement conditions required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. Lastly, entities are required to use the if-converted method for convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The standard can be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach.January 1, 2022
Upon adoption, the Company expects a decrease to additional paid in capital, an increase in the carrying value of its convertible notes and an increase to retained earnings. After adoption, the Company expects a reduction in its reported interest expense but does not expect a material income tax impact due to a full valuation allowance on the United States net deferred tax assets. Additionally, the Company expects the use of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share will result in an increase in weighted-average shares outstanding. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.
Although there are several other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value measurements Fair value measurements
The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:
March 31, 2021December 31, 2020
(in thousands)Level 1Level 2TotalLevel 1Level 2Total
Cash equivalents (1):
Money market funds$21,396 $— $21,396 $19,445 $— $19,445 
Total cash equivalents$21,396 $— $21,396 $19,445 $— $19,445 
(1)    Included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash balances were $275.4 million as of March 31, 2021 and $308.2 million, including $2.0 million of restricted cash, as of December 31, 2020.
Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 because the Company uses quoted market prices to determine their fair value. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that were classified as Level 3, which are valued based on inputs supported by little or no market activity.
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amortized cost of the Company’s cash equivalents approximated their fair value and there were no material realized or unrealized gains or losses, either individually or in the aggregate.
In April 2017, the Company issued $175.0 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (2022 Notes). In November 2020, the Company issued $143.8 million principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (2025 Notes) (see Note 4 Financing Arrangements). The estimated fair value of the 2022 Notes and 2025 Notes is based on quoted market prices of the Company’s instruments in markets that are not active and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimated the fair value of the 2022 Notes and 2025 Notes by evaluating quoted market prices and calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require to assume these obligations. The calculated fair value of the 2022 Notes was $165.6 million and $146.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, while the calculated fair value of the 2025 Notes was $205.9 million and $166.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The calculated fair value is highly correlated to the Company’s stock price and as a result, significant changes to the Company’s stock price will have a significant impact on the calculated fair value of the 2022 Notes and 2025 Notes.
For certain other financial assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value primarily due to the relatively short maturity of these balances.
The Company also measures certain non-financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill, intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment.

2021 Credit Facility
In January 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (2021 Credit Agreement) with a certain bank which provides for a revolving credit facility (2021 Credit Facility) under which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate amount of $50.0 million. The 2021 Credit Facility will terminate and any outstanding borrowings become due and payable on the earlier of (i) January 2024 and (ii) unless the Company has cash in a specified deposit account in an amount equal to or greater than the amount required to repay the Company’s convertible notes due April 2022, 91 days prior to the maturity date of such convertible notes. Concurrently with the execution of the 2021 Credit Agreement in January 2021, the Company terminated its previous 2016 Credit Agreement, which would otherwise have matured in March 2021.
The amount that may be borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement may be based on a customary borrowing base calculation if the Company’s Asset Coverage Ratio is at any time less than 1.50. The Asset Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) the sum of (a) the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in the United States plus specified percentages of other qualified debt investments (Qualified Cash) plus (b) specified percentages of the net book values of the Company’s accounts receivable and certain inventory to (ii) $50.0 million.
At the Company’s option, borrowed funds accrue interest at either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of from 0.50% to 1.00% depending on the Company’s Asset Coverage Ratio or (ii) a per annum rate equal to the rate at which dollar deposits are offered in the London interbank market plus a margin of from 1.50% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s Asset Coverage Ratio. The Company is required to pay a
commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2021 Credit Facility of 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, based on the level of utilization of the 2021 Credit Facility. Amounts owed under the 2021 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s United States subsidiaries and secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (other than intellectual property, which is subject to a negative pledge restricting grants of security interests to third parties).
The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, certain investments, dividends, stock repurchases and other matters, all subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Company is required to maintain Liquidity (the sum of unused availability under the credit facility and the Company’s Qualified Cash) of at least $55.0 million (of which at least $40.0 million shall be attributable to Qualified Cash), or, if the borrowing base is then in effect, minimum unused availability under the credit facility of at least $10.0 million. The 2021 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default that include, among other things, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of certain covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments and change of control. Upon an event of default, the lender may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding.
At March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenant contained in the 2021 Credit Agreement. The Company has made no borrowings from the 2021 Credit Facility to date.
2022 Convertible Notes
In April 2017, the Company issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (2022 Notes). The 2022 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of GoPro and mature on April 15, 2022, unless earlier repurchased or converted into shares of Class A common stock under certain circumstances. The 2022 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 94.0071 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.64 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. Based on current and projected liquidity, the Company has the intent and ability to deliver cash up to the principal amount of the 2022 Notes then outstanding upon conversion. The Company pays interest on the 2022 Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The $175.0 million of proceeds received from the issuance of the 2022 Notes were allocated between long-term debt (liability component) of $128.3 million and additional paid-in-capital (equity component) of $46.7 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the liability component was measured using rates determined for similar debt instruments without a conversion feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, representing the conversion option, was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the aggregate face value of the 2022 Notes. The liability component will be accreted up to the face value of the 2022 Notes of $175.0 million, which will result in additional non-cash interest expense being recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations through the 2022 Notes’ maturity date. The accretion of the 2022 Notes to par and debt issuance cost recorded to long-term debt is amortized into interest expense over the term of the 2022 Note using an effective interest rate of approximately 10.5%. The equity component will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
The Company incurred approximately $5.7 million of issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2022 Notes, of which $4.2 million and $1.5 million were recorded to long-term debt and additional paid-in capital, respectively. The $4.2 million of issuance costs recorded as long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are being amortized over the five-year contractual term of the 2022 Notes using the effective interest method.
The Company may not redeem the 2022 Notes prior to the maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the 2022 Notes. The indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2022 Notes may be due and payable immediately.
Holders have the option to convert the 2022 Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount at any time prior to January 15, 2022, but only in the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter beginning after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2017, if the last reported sale price of Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the last 30 consecutive trading days of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the 2022 Notes on each applicable trading day;
during the five-business day period following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price for the 2022 Notes is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Class A common stock and the conversion rate for the 2022 Notes on each such trading day; or
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
At any time on or after January 15, 2022 until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2022 Notes on April 15, 2022, a holder may convert its 2022 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. Holders of the 2022 Notes who convert their 2022 Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. In addition, in the event of a fundamental change prior to the maturity date, holders will, subject to certain conditions, have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of the 2022 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the repurchase date. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the conditions allowing holders of the 2022 Notes to convert were not met.
Concurrently with the November 2020 issuance of the 2025 Notes, the Company used $56.2 million of the net cash proceeds from the 2025 Notes to repurchase $50.0 million principal amount of the 2022 Notes through an individual, privately negotiated transaction. The $56.2 million net cash proceeds were allocated between long-term debt (liability component) of $50.6 million and additional paid-in capital (equity component) of $5.4 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the remaining $0.2 million was related to the payment of interest. The fair value of the liability component was measured using rates determined for similar debt instrument without a conversion feature. The Company’s effective interest rate of 2.4% was based on the trading details of the 2022 Notes immediately prior to the repurchase date to determine the volatility of the 2022 Notes, and their remaining term. The cash consideration allocated to the equity component was calculated by deducting the fair value of the liability component and interest payment from the total aggregate cash consideration. The difference between the fair value of the 2022 Notes repurchased and the carrying value of $45.2 million resulted in a $5.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal on the 2022 Notes was $125.0 million, the unamortized debt discount was $8.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively, the unamortized debt issuance cost was $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount of the liability component was $116.0 million and $114.0 million, respectively, which was recorded as long-term debt within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $1.1 million and $1.5 million for contractual coupon interest, respectively, $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for amortization of the debt discount, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for amortization of debt issuance costs.
In connection with the 2022 Notes offering, the Company entered into a prepaid forward stock repurchase transaction (Prepaid Forward) with a financial institution (Forward Counterparty). Pursuant to the Prepaid Forward, the Company used approximately $78.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2022 Notes to fund the Prepaid Forward. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock underlying the Prepaid Forward was approximately 9.2 million. The expiration date for the Prepaid Forward is April 15, 2022, although it may be settled earlier in whole or in part. Upon settlement of the Prepaid Forward, at expiration or upon any early settlement, the Forward Counterparty will deliver to the Company the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the Prepaid Forward or the portion thereof being settled early. The shares purchased under the Prepaid Forward are treated as treasury stock on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (and not outstanding for purposes of the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share), but will remain outstanding for corporate law purposes, including for purposes of any future stockholders’ votes, until the Forward Counterparty delivers the shares underlying the Prepaid Forward to the Company. The Company’s Prepaid Forward hedge transaction exposes the Company to credit risk to the extent that its
counterparty may be unable to meet the terms of the transaction. The Company mitigates this risk by limiting its counterparty to a major financial institution.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, 8.8 million shares out of the 9.2 million shares of Class A common stock underlying the Prepaid Forward entered into as part of the Company’s 2022 Notes were early settled and delivered to the Company. In April 2021, the remaining 0.4 million shares of Class A common stock underlying the Prepaid Forward were early settled and delivered to the Company. There was no financial statement impact due to the return of shares; however, shares outstanding for corporate law purposes are reduced by the early settlements.
2025 Convertible Notes
In November 2020, the Company issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 and granted an option to the initial purchasers to purchase up to an additional $18.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes to cover over-allotments, of which $18.8 million was subsequently exercised during November 2020, resulting in a total issuance of $143.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of GoPro and mature on November 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted into shares of Class A common stock under certain circumstances. The 2025 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election, at an initial conversion rate of 107.1984 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2025 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.3285 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. Based on current and projected liquidity, the Company has the intent and ability to deliver cash up to the principal amount of the 2025 Notes then outstanding upon conversion. The Company pays interest on the 2025 Notes semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The $143.8 million of proceeds received from the issuance of the 2025 Notes were allocated between long-term debt (liability component) of $106.9 million and additional paid-in-capital (equity component) of $36.9 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the liability component was measured using rates determined for similar debt instruments without a conversion feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, representing the conversion option, was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the aggregate face value of the 2025 Notes. The liability component will be accreted up to the face value of the 2025 Notes of $143.8 million, which will result in additional non-cash interest expense being recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations through the 2025 Notes’ maturity date. The accretion of the 2025 Notes to par and debt issuance cost recorded to long-term debt is amortized into interest expense over the term of the 2025 Note using an effective interest rate of approximately 7.5%. The equity component will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
The Company incurred approximately $4.7 million of issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2025 Notes, of which $3.5 million and $1.2 million were recorded to long-term debt and additional paid-in capital, respectively. The $3.5 million of issuance costs recorded as long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are being amortized over the five-year contractual term of the 2025 Notes using the effective interest method.
The Company may redeem all or any portion of the 2025 Notes on or after November 20, 2023 for cash if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the redemption notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes. The indenture includes customary terms and covenants, including certain events of default after which the 2025 Notes may be due and payable immediately.
Holders have the option to convert the 2025 Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount at any time prior to August 15, 2025, but only in the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter beginning after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2021, if the last reported sale price of Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the last 30 consecutive trading days of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price of the 2025 Notes on each applicable trading day;
during the five-business day period following any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price for the 2025 Notes is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Class A common stock and the conversion rate for the 2025 Notes on each such trading day;
if the Company calls any or all of the 2025 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately before the redemption date; or
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
At any time on or after August 15, 2025 until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2025 Notes on November 15, 2025, a holder may convert its 2025 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. Holders of the 2025 Notes who convert their 2025 Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. In addition, in the event of a fundamental change prior to the maturity date, holders will, subject to certain conditions, have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of the 2025 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the repurchase date. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the conditions allowing holders of the 2025 Notes to convert were not met.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal on the 2025 Notes was $143.8 million, the unamortized debt discount was $34.6 million and $36.1 million, respectively, the unamortized debt issuance cost was $3.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and the net carrying amount of the liability component was $105.9 million and $104.2 million, respectively, which was recorded as long-term debt within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.4 million for contractual coupon interest, $0.2 million for amortization of debt issuance costs, and $1.6 million for amortization of the debt discount.
In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, the Company paid $10.2 million to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions (Capped Calls). The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of $9.3285 per share, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the 2025 Notes, the number of Class A common stock initially underlying the 2025 Notes. The Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Class A common stock upon any conversion of the 2025 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2025 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, initially equal to $12.0925, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call transactions. The Capped Calls will expire in November 2025, if not exercised earlier.
The Capped Calls are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified extraordinary events affecting the Company, including merger events, tender offers and announcement events. In addition, the Capped Calls are subject to certain specified additional disruption events that may give rise to a termination of the Capped Calls, including nationalization, insolvency or delisting, changes in law, failures to deliver, insolvency filings and hedging disruptions. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the 2025 Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and will not be remeasured as long as they continue to meet certain accounting criteria.

Employee benefit plans Employee benefit plans Equity incentive plans. The Company has outstanding equity grants from its three stock-based employee compensation plans: the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (2014 Plan), the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (2010 Plan) and the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). No new options or awards have been granted under the 2010 Plan since June 2014. Outstanding options and awards under the 2010 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2010 Plan. Options granted under the 2014 Plan generally expire within ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over one to four years. Restricted stock units (RSUs) granted under the 2014 Plan generally vest over two to four years based upon continued service and are settled at vesting in shares of
the Company’s Class A common stock. Performance stock units (PSUs) granted under the 2014 Plan generally vest over three years based upon continued service and the Company achieving certain financial and operating targets, and are settled at vesting in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based payment awards in the period they occur. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the stock as of the first date or the ending date of each six-month offering period. For additional information regarding the Company’s equity incentive plans, refer to the 2020 Annual Report.

The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was zero for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 due to a full valuation allowance on the Company’s United States net deferred tax assets (see Note 7 Income taxes).
At March 31, 2021, total unearned stock-based compensation of $65.9 million related to stock options, RSUs, PSUs and ESPP shares is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

The Company has the intent and ability to deliver cash up to the principal amount of the 2022 Notes and 2025 Notes subject to conversion, based on the Company’s current and projected liquidity. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The conversion spread is dilutive in periods of net income when the average market price of the Company’s Class A common stock for a given reporting period exceeds the initial conversion prices of $10.64 and $9.3285 per share for the 2022 Notes and 2025 Notes, respectively. The shares included in total anti-dilutive shares relate to the 2025 Notes and are calculated based on the average market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The initial conversion price of the 2022 Notes was greater than the average market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and as such, had no impact on anti-dilutive or dilutive share calculations. Upon conversion of the 2025 Notes, there will be no economic dilution until the average market price of the Company’s Class A common stock exceeds the cap price of $12.0925 per share, as exercise of the Capped Calls offset any dilution from the 2025 Notes from the initial conversion price up to the cap price. The Capped Calls are excluded from diluted net income per share as they would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
The Company’s 2022 Notes mature on April 15, 2022 and the 2025 Notes mature on November 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted into shares of Class A common stock under certain circumstances as described further in Note 4 Financing Arrangements. The 2022 Notes and 2025 Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. While the Company has the intent and ability to deliver cash up to the principal amount, the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the 2022 Notes is 20.6 million shares of Class A common stock and 20.8 million shares of Class A common stock upon conversion of the 2025 Notes. Additionally, the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 excludes approximately 9.2 million shares effectively repurchased and held in treasury stock on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of the Prepaid Forward transaction entered into in connection with the 2022 Note offering.
The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at
any time at the option of the stockholder into one share of Class A common stock and has no expiration date. Each share of Class B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon the date when the outstanding shares of Class B common stock represent less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock then outstanding. Class A common stock is not convertible into Class B common stock. The computation of the diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock assumes the conversion of Class B common stock.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income taxes Income taxes
The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) and the resulting effective tax rate are based upon the estimated annual effective tax rates applicable for the respective period, including losses generated in countries where the Company is projecting annual losses for which deferred tax assets are not anticipated to be recognized.
The Company’s tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. The Company also excludes jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year (or year-to-date loss) where the Company cannot or does not expect to recognize a tax benefit from its estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such inclusions could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings or losses versus annual projections. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made in that quarter.

Income tax expense$1,219 $2,399 
Effective tax rate(13.6)%(3.9)%

The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, on a pre-tax net loss of $8.9 million, which resulted in a negative effective tax rate of 13.6%. The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was composed of $1.3 million of tax expense incurred on pre-tax income, and discrete items that primarily included $1.8 million of net excess tax benefit for employee stock-based compensation and $0.2 million of tax benefit relating to the foreign provision to income tax return adjustments, partially offset by a net increase in the valuation allowance of $2.0 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.4 million on a pre-tax net loss of $61.1 million, which resulted in a negative effective tax rate of 3.9%. The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily composed of $2.3 million of tax expense incurred on pre-tax income, and discrete items that included a $1.1 million of net non-deductible equity tax expense for employee stock-based compensation and $0.1 million of tax expense relating to the foreign provision to income tax returns adjustments, partially offset by a net decrease in the valuation allowance of $1.1 million.
During Q1 2021, it was determined that no material adjustments were required to the Company’s valuation allowances. However, the Company will continue to monitor expected 2021 projections and their potential impact on its assessment regarding the recoverability of its deferred tax asset balances and in the event there is a need to release the valuation allowance, a tax benefit will be recorded.
At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits were $27.6 million and $27.5 million, respectively. If recognized, $16.1 million of these unrecognized tax benefits (net of United States federal benefit) at March 31, 2021 would reduce income tax expense after considering the impact of the change in the valuation allowance in the United States. A material portion of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would increase the Company’s deferred tax assets, which would be offset by a full valuation allowance based on present circumstances. The unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to unresolved matters with taxing authorities regarding the Company’s transfer pricing positions. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, the
Company believes that its reserves reflect the more likely outcome. The Company believes, due to statute of limitations expiration, that within the next 12 months, it is possible that up to $13.0 million of uncertain tax position could be released. It is also reasonably possible that additional uncertain tax positions will be added. It is not reasonably possible at this time to quantify the net effect.

Legal proceedings and investigations. On February 13, 2018 and February 27, 2018, two purported shareholder derivative lawsuits (the Consolidated Federal Derivative Actions) were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against certain of GoPro’s current and former directors and executive officers and naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The Consolidated Federal Derivative Actions assert causes of action against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, and for making false and misleading statements about the Company’s business, operations and prospects in violation of Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plaintiffs seek corporate reforms, disgorgement of profits from stock sales, and fees and costs.
Different shareholders filed two similar purported shareholder derivative actions on October 30, 2018 and November 7, 2018 in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the Consolidated Delaware Derivative Actions).
Other shareholders filed similar purported shareholder derivative actions on December 26, 2018, February 15, 2019, and January 27, 2020 in the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Following settlement negotiations, an agreement in principle to settle all derivative claims on behalf of the Company (the Settlement) was reached by plaintiffs in the Consolidated Federal Derivative Actions, the Consolidated Delaware Derivative Actions, certain other plaintiffs (the Settling Plaintiffs), and the current and former executive officers and members of the Company’s Board. On February 9, 2021, the Settling Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of the Settlement in the Consolidated Federal Derivative Actions, and the court preliminarily approved the Settlement on April 1, 2021. The final approval hearing is scheduled for July 28, 2021. The Settlement is subject to final court approval and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On January 5, 2015, Contour LLC filed a complaint against the Company in federal court in Utah alleging, among other things, patent infringement in relation to certain GoPro cameras. GoPro filed an inter partes review (IPR) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. On November 30, 2015, Contour dismissed the Utah action, and Contour IP Holdings LLC (CIPH), a non-practicing entity, re-filed a similar complaint in Delaware. The case was transferred to the Northern District of California in July 2017 (case 3:17-cv-04738) and was stayed pending the IPR proceedings. Upon conclusion of the IPRs, the District Court lifted the stay on October 1, 2019. Due to COVID-19 delays, the trial was delayed several times. Separately, on March 26, 2021, CIPH filed a new lawsuit against Company in the same court (case 3:21-cv-02143), asserting the same patents against certain GoPro products. On May 4, 2021, the Court indicated that the cases would be consolidated and set a trial date of April 18, 2022. The Company believes that both matters lack merit, and intends to vigorously defend against CIPH.
The Company regularly evaluates the associated developments of the legal proceedings described above, as well as other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. While litigation is inherently uncertain, based on the currently available information, the Company is unable to determine a loss or a range of loss, and does not believe the ultimate cost to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
Indemnifications. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers which requires the Company to indemnify its directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, and provide for general indemnification. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the Company’s limited history with indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has not paid any claims nor has it been required to defend any action related to its indemnification
obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]  
Concentrations of risk and segment information Concentrations of risk and geographic information
Concentration of risk. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and derivative instruments, including the Capped Calls associated with the 2025 Notes. The Company places cash and cash-equivalents with high-credit-quality financial institutions, however the Company maintains cash balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company believes that credit risk for accounts receivable is mitigated by the Company’s credit evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and dispersion of its customer base. The Company generally does not require collateral and losses on trade receivables have historically been within management’s expectations. The Company believes its counterparty credit risk related to its derivative instruments is mitigated by transacting with major financial institutions with high credit ratings.
Customers who represented 10% or more of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance were as follows:

Customer A30%23%
Customer B*15%
Customer C10%12%
* Less than 10% of net accounts receivable for the period indicated.

* Less than 10% of total revenue for the period indicated.
Supplier concentration. The Company relies on third parties for the supply and manufacture of its products, some of which are sole-source suppliers. The Company believes that outsourcing manufacturing enables greater scale and flexibility. As demand and product lines change, the Company periodically evaluates the need and advisability of adding manufacturers to support its operations. In instances where a supply and manufacture agreement does not exist or suppliers fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative suppliers or satisfactorily deliver its products to its customers on time, if at all. The Company also relies on third parties with whom it outsources supply chain activities related to inventory warehousing, order fulfillment, distribution and other direct sales logistics. In instances where an outsourcing agreement does not exist or these third parties fail to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative partners or satisfactorily deliver its products to its customers on time.

For the same period in 2020, revenue from the United States and Japan individually represented more than 10% of total revenue. Revenue from the United States, which is included in the Americas geographic region, was $93.3 million and $45.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from Japan, which is included in the Asia and Pacific geographic region, was $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. No other individual country exceeded 10% of total revenue for any period presented. The Company does not disclose revenue by product category as it does not track sales incentives and other revenue adjustments by product category to report such data.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, long-lived assets, which represent net property and equipment, located outside the United States, primarily in Hong Kong and mainland China, were $5.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

Second quarter 2020 restructuring plan
On April 14, 2020, the Company approved a restructuring plan to reduce future operating expenses, optimize its business model and address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring provided for a reduction of the Company’s global workforce by approximately 20% and the consolidation of certain leased office facilities. Under the second quarter 2020 restructuring plan, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $25.5 million, including a $12.5 million right-of-use asset impairment primarily related to its headquarters campus, $7.3 million related to severance, and $5.8 million related to accelerated depreciation and other charges.
The Company ceased using a portion of its headquarters campus in the third quarter of 2020 as part of the second quarter 2020 restructuring plan. The unused portion of the Company’s headquarters campus has its own identifiable expenses and is not dependent on other parts of the Company, and thus was considered its own asset group. As a result, the Company impaired a part of the carrying value of the related right-of-use asset to its estimated fair value using the discounted future cash flows method. The discounted future cash flows were determined based on future sublease rental rates, future sublease market conditions and a discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital. Based on the results of the Company’s assessment, the Company recognized a $12.3 million impairment, which was reflected as a restructuring expense, primarily in the operating expense financial statement line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Under the first quarter 2017 restructuring plan, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $23.1 million, including $10.3 million related to severance, and $12.8 million related to accelerated depreciation and other charges.

Summary of business and significant accounting policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation
Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31, and its fiscal quarters end on March 31, June 30 and September 30.
The Company’s operating results, financial position and cash flows for fiscal year 2020 were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the global impact of the pandemic began to emerge in the first quarter of 2020, the Company accelerated a shift in its sales channel strategy to focus more on direct-to-consumer sales through GoPro.com, and implemented a restructuring plan in April 2020, which primarily impacted the Company’s global workforce, sales and marketing expenses, and leased facilities. These actions were reflected in the Company’s financial results starting in the second quarter of 2020 by reducing on-going operating expenses and helped accelerate its ability to achieve profitability in the second half of 2020. In 2020, the Company also issued additional convertible senior notes and entered into a new credit facility thus providing sufficient resources to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the Company's financial statements, but are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any other future period. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report) for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in its Annual Report.
Principles of consolidation Principles of consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates Use of estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include those related to revenue recognition and the allocation of the transaction price (including sales incentives, sales returns and implied post contract support), inventory valuation, product warranty liabilities, the valuation, impairment and useful lives of long-lived assets (property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets and goodwill), fair value of convertible senior notes, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The extent and continued impact of COVID-19 has been taken into account by management in making the significant assumptions and estimates related to the above; however, if the duration and spread of the outbreak, the impact on our customers, and the effect on our contract manufacturers, vendors and supply chain is different from the Company’s estimates and assumptions, then actual results could differ materially. Given the uncertainty with respect to COVID-19, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected.
Comprehensive income (loss) Comprehensive income (loss). For all periods presented, comprehensive income (loss) approximated net income (loss). Therefore, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) have been omitted
Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of cameras, mounts and accessories, the related implied post contract support to customers and subscription services. The transaction price recognized as revenue represents the amount the Company expects to be entitled to and is primarily comprised of product revenue, net of returns and variable consideration, including sales incentives provided to customers.
The Company’s camera sales contain multiple performance obligations that can include four separate obligations: a) a camera hardware component (which may be bundled with hardware accessories) and the embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the camera component delivered at the time of sale, b) the implicit right to the Company’s downloadable free apps and software solutions, c) the implied right for the customer to receive post contract support after the initial sale (PCS), and d) a subscription service. The Company’s PCS includes the right to receive, on a when and if available basis, future unspecified firmware upgrades and features as well as bug fixes, and email and telephone support. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to the PCS performance obligation based on a cost-plus methodology and recognizes the associated revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated term of the support period, which is estimated to be 15 months based on historical experience. The transaction price allocated to subscription services is based on the standalone selling price and is recognized ratably over the subscription term, with payments received in advance of services being rendered recorded in deferred revenue. The transaction price is allocated to the remaining performance obligations on a residual value methodology. The transaction price allocated to the delivered hardware, related embedded firmware and free software solutions are recognized as revenue at the time of sale, provided the conditions for recognition of revenue have been met.
The Company’s process to allocate the transaction price considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable, including: the level of support provided to customers, estimated costs to provide the Company’s support, the amount of time and cost that is allocated to the Company’s efforts to develop the undelivered elements, market trends in the pricing for similar offerings and the standalone selling price.
The Company's standard terms and conditions of sale for non-web-based sales do not allow for product returns other than under warranty. However, the Company grants limited rights of return, primarily to certain large retailers. The Company reduces revenue and cost of sales for the estimated returns based on analyses of historical return trends by customer class and other factors. An estimated return liability along with a right to recover assets are recorded for future product returns. Return trends are influenced by product life cycles, new product introductions, market acceptance of products, product sell-through, the type of customer, seasonality and other factors. Return rates may fluctuate over time but are sufficiently predictable to allow the Company to estimate expected future product returns.
For customers who purchase products directly from GoPro.com, the Company retains a portion of the risk of loss on these sales during transit, which are accounted for as fulfillment costs. The Company provides sales commissions to internal and external sales representatives which are earned in the period in which revenue is recognized. As a result, the Company expenses such costs as incurred.
Deferred revenue as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 also included amounts related to the Company’s subscription services. The Company’s short-term and long-term deferred revenue balances totaled $32.8 million and $14.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $11.7 million and $5.8 million of revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Revenue Recognition, Incentives Sales incentives. The Company offers sales incentives through various programs, including cooperative advertising, price protection, marketing development funds and other incentives. Sales incentives are considered to be variable consideration, which the Company estimates and records as a reduction to revenue at the date of sale. The Company estimates sales incentives based on historical experience, product sell-through and other factors.
Employee benefit plans Employee benefit plans Equity incentive plans. The Company has outstanding equity grants from its three stock-based employee compensation plans: the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (2014 Plan), the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (2010 Plan) and the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). No new options or awards have been granted under the 2010 Plan since June 2014. Outstanding options and awards under the 2010 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2010 Plan. Options granted under the 2014 Plan generally expire within ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over one to four years. Restricted stock units (RSUs) granted under the 2014 Plan generally vest over two to four years based upon continued service and are settled at vesting in shares of
the Company’s Class A common stock. Performance stock units (PSUs) granted under the 2014 Plan generally vest over three years based upon continued service and the Company achieving certain financial and operating targets, and are settled at vesting in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based payment awards in the period they occur. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the stock as of the first date or the ending date of each six-month offering period. For additional information regarding the Company’s equity incentive plans, refer to the 2020 Annual Report.

Stock-based compensation expense. The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. The fair value of stock options granted and ESPP issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of RSUs and PSUs are determined using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s valuation assumptions from those disclosed in its 2020 Annual Report.

The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was zero for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 due to a full valuation allowance on the Company’s United States net deferred tax assets (see Note 7 Income taxes).
At March 31, 2021, total unearned stock-based compensation of $65.9 million related to stock options, RSUs, PSUs and ESPP shares is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
Segment information Segment information. The Company operates as one operating segment as it only reports financial information on an aggregate and consolidated basis to its Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

Effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements or other significant matters
Standards not yet adopted
Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)
ASU No. 2020-06

This standard simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible debt instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Specifically, the standard removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible debt feature qualifies as a derivative under ASC 815 or if the convertible debt was issued at a substantial premium. This standard also removes certain settlement conditions required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. Lastly, entities are required to use the if-converted method for convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The standard can be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach.January 1, 2022
Upon adoption, the Company expects a decrease to additional paid in capital, an increase in the carrying value of its convertible notes and an increase to retained earnings. After adoption, the Company expects a reduction in its reported interest expense but does not expect a material income tax impact due to a full valuation allowance on the United States net deferred tax assets. Additionally, the Company expects the use of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share will result in an increase in weighted-average shares outstanding. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.
Although there are several other new accounting standards issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Schedule of Components of Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The Company’s tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. The Company also excludes jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year (or year-to-date loss) where the Company cannot or does not expect to recognize a tax benefit from its estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such inclusions could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings or losses versus annual projections. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made in that quarter.
