The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates


	The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Business

Guidewire Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on September 20, 2001. Guidewire Software, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), provides Internet-based software platforms for core insurance operations, including underwriting and policy administration, claim management and billing. The Company’s customers include insurance carriers for property and casualty and workers’ compensation insurance. The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Poland and the United Kingdom.

The Company offers a suite of applications to enable core property and casualty (“P&C”) insurance operations comprised of the following products: PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter and BillingCenter. The Company also provides maintenance support and provides professional services to the extent requested by its customers.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates include revenue recognition, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, annual bonus attainment, income tax uncertainties, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, and contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical experience and other factors; however, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Investments, and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The Company classifies investments as short-term when they have remaining contractual maturities of less than one year from the balance sheet date, and as long-term when the investments have remaining contractual maturities of more than one year from the balance sheet date. Cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds and short-term investments with an investment rating of either of the following: Moody's of A3 or higher or Standard & Poor's of A- or higher. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts recorded on the balance sheet are in excess of amounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Restricted cash is held in certificates of deposit pursuant to lease agreements, and, in prior periods, pursuant to secured letter of credit agreements as well.

The Company's investment policy is consistent with the definition of available-for-sale securities. From time to time, the Company may sell certain securities but the objectives are generally not to generate profits on short-term differences in price.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments with high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings.

No customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014 or 2013. No customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total accounts receivable as of January 31, 2014. The Company had one customer that accounted for 10% of total accounts receivable as of July 31, 2013.

Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into arrangements to deliver multiple products or services (multiple-elements). The Company applies software revenue recognition rules and allocates the total revenues among elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value of each element. The Company recognizes revenue on a net basis excluding taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities.

Revenues are derived from three sources:


(i)	License fees, related to term (or time-based) software license revenue which includes enterprise cloud-based applications and technology cross-licensing revenue from a strategic partnership and perpetual software license revenues;


(ii)	Maintenance fees, related to email and phone support, bug fixes and unspecified software updates and upgrades released when, and if, available during the maintenance term; and


(iii)	Services fees, related to professional services related to implementation of our software, reimbursable travel and training.

Revenues are recognized when all of the following criteria are met:


•	Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Evidence of an arrangement consists of a written contract signed by both the customer and management prior to the end of the period.


•	Delivery or performance has occurred. The Company’s software is delivered electronically to the customer. Delivery is considered to have occurred when the Company provides the customer access to the software along with login credentials.

•

Fees are fixed or determinable. Arrangements where a significant portion of the fee is due beyond 90 days from delivery are not considered to be fixed or determinable. Revenues from such arrangements is recognized as payments become due, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Fees from term licenses are generally due in annual or, in certain cases, quarterly, installments over the term of the agreement beginning on the effective date of the license. Accordingly, fees from term licenses are not considered to be fixed or determinable until they become due.

•

Collectability is probable. Collectability is assessed on a customer-by-customer basis, based primarily on creditworthiness as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as customer payment history. Payment terms generally range from 30 to 90 days from invoice date. If it is determined prior to revenue recognition that collection of an arrangement fee is not probable, revenues are deferred until collection becomes probable or cash is collected, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.

VSOE of fair value does not exist for the Company’s software licenses; therefore, for all arrangements that do not include services that are essential to the functionality of the software, the Company allocates revenues to software licenses using the residual method. Under the residual method, the amount recognized for license fees is the difference between the total fixed and determinable fees and the VSOE of fair value for the undelivered elements under the arrangement.

The VSOE of fair value for elements of an arrangement is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those elements when sold separately. VSOE of fair value for maintenance is established using the stated maintenance renewal rate in the customer’s contract. The Company generally enters into term licenses ranging from 3 to 7 years. For term licenses with duration of one year or less, no VSOE of fair value for maintenance exists. The Company began using stated maintenance renewal rates in customers’ contracts during fiscal year 2008. Prior to that, customers’ contracts did not have stated maintenance renewal rates and the Company was unable to establish VSOE of maintenance. VSOE of fair value for services is established if a substantial majority of historical stand-alone selling prices for a service fall within a reasonably narrow price range.

If VSOE of fair value for one or more undelivered elements does not exist, the total arrangement fee is not recognized until delivery of those elements occurs or when VSOE of fair value is established.

If the undelivered elements are all service elements and VSOE of fair value does not exist for one or more service element, the total arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the longest service period starting at software delivery, assuming all the related services have been made available to the customer.

When implementation services are sold with a license arrangement, the Company evaluates whether those services are essential to the functionality of the software. Prior to fiscal year 2008, implementation services were determined to be essential to the software because the implementation services were generally not available from other third party vendors. By the beginning of fiscal year 2008, third-party vendors were providing implementation services for ClaimCenter and it was concluded that implementation services generally were not essential to the functionality of the ClaimCenter software. By the beginning of fiscal year 2011, third-party vendors were providing implementation services for PolicyCenter and BillingCenter and it was concluded that implementation services generally were no longer essential to the functionality of the PolicyCenter and BillingCenter software. In certain offerings sold as fixed fee arrangements, the Company recognizes services revenues on a proportional performance basis as performance obligations are completed by using the ratio of labor hours to date as an input measure compared to total estimated labor hours for the consulting services.

In cases where professional services are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the software, the arrangement is accounted for using contract accounting until the essential services are complete. If reliable estimates of total project costs and the extent of progress toward completion can be made, the Company applies the percentage-of-completion method in recognizing the arrangement fee. The percentage toward completion is measured by using the ratio of service billings to date compared to total estimated service billings for the consulting services. Service billings approximate labor hours as an input measure since they are billed monthly on a time and material basis. For term licenses with license fees due in equal installments over the term, the license revenues subject to percentage-of-completion recognition includes only those payments that are due and payable within the reporting period. The fees related to the maintenance are recognized over the period the maintenance is provided.

When VSOE for maintenance has not been established and the arrangement includes implementation services which are deemed essential to the functionality of the software and it is reasonably assured that no loss will be incurred under the arrangement, revenues are recognized pursuant to the zero gross margin method. Under this method, revenues recognized are limited to the costs incurred for the implementation services. As a result, billed license and maintenance fees and the profit margin on the professional services are generally deferred until the essential services are completed and then recognized over the remaining term of the maintenance period.

If the Company cannot make reliable estimates of total project implementation and it is reasonably assured that no loss will be incurred under such arrangements, the zero profit margin method is applied whereby an amount of revenues equal to the incurred costs of the project is recognized as well as the incurred costs, producing a zero margin until project estimates become reliable. The percentage-of-completion method is applied when project estimates become reliable; resulting in a cumulative effect adjustment for deferred license revenues to the extent of progress toward completion, and the related deferred professional service margin is recognized in full as revenues. Such cumulative effect adjustment for license revenues was nil for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2013, and for service revenues was nil for the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2013.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues represent amounts billed to or collected from customers for which the related revenues have not been recognized because one or more of the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The current portion of deferred revenues represents the amount that is expected to be recognized as revenues within one year from the balance sheet date. The Company generally invoices fees for licenses and maintenance to its customers in annual or, in certain cases, quarterly installments payable in advance. Accordingly, the deferred revenues balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancellable arrangements.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets related to excess tax benefits are recorded when utilized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount of which realization is more likely than not.

Accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainties in income taxes provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. This accounting guidance also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in its condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to its stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to employees based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant, net of estimated forfeitures. The RSUs are subject to time-based vesting, which generally occurs over a period of 4 years. Compensation cost for RSUs is generally recognized over the time-based vesting period. The options expire 10 years from the grant date. The Company estimates the grant date fair value, and the resulting stock-based compensation expense, of our stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The grant date fair value of the stock-based awards is recognized using the accelerated multiple option approach over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective awards.

Public Offering

On October 28, 2013, the Company closed its follow-on public offering of 8,306,291 shares of its common stock, including the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option from the Company. The public offering price of the shares sold in the offering was $48.75 per share. The Company received aggregate proceeds of approximately $389.9 million from the follow-on offering, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions applicable to the sale of shares by the Company, but before deduction of offering costs of approximately $0.4 million payable by the Company. No shares were sold by the Company’s shareholders in this follow-on offering.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit ("UTB"), or a portion of a UTB, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the UTB should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of January 31, 2014, the Company had 49 investments in an unrealized loss position making up the unrealized losses of $72 thousand. The unrealized losses on our available-for-sale securities were primarily a result of unfavorable changes in interest rates subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities. The Company does not intend to sell, nor believes it will need to sell, these securities before recovering the associated unrealized losses. The Company does not consider any portion of the unrealized losses at January 31, 2014 to be an other-than-temporary impairment, nor are any unrealized losses considered to be credit losses. The Company has recorded the securities at fair market value in its condensed consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Upon sale, amounts of gains and losses reclassified into earnings are determined based on specific identification of the securities sold.

The following table summarizes the contractual maturities of the Company’s available-for-sale securities as of January 31, 2014:

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The current accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures as follows:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying value of the Company's accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

We base the fair value of our Level 1 financial instruments, which are in active markets, using quoted market prices for identical instruments.

We obtain the fair value of our Level 2 financial instruments, which are not in active markets, from a third-party professional pricing service using quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments, rather than direct observations of quoted prices in active markets. Our professional pricing service gathers observable inputs for all of our fixed income securities from a variety of industry data providers (e.g. large custodial institutions) and other third-party sources. Once the observable inputs are gathered, all data points are considered and an average price is determined.

We validate the quoted market prices provided by our primary pricing service by comparing their assessment of the fair values of our Level 2 investment portfolio balance against the fair values of our Level 2 investment portfolio balance provided by our investment managers. Our investment managers use similar techniques to our professional pricing service to derive pricing as described above.

We did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of January 31, 2014 or July 31, 2013.

The following tables summarize the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of January 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013:

Commitments and Contingencies	Jan. 31, 2014
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies There has been no material change in the Company's contractual obligations and commitments other than in the ordinary course of business since the Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. See the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 for additional information regarding the Company's contractual obligations. Leases The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under operating leases. On December 5, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year lease for a facility to serve as its corporate headquarters, located in Foster City, California, for approximately 97,674 square feet of space which commenced on August 1, 2012. In connection with this lease, the Company opened an unsecured letter of credit with Silicon Valley Bank for $1.2 million. Lease expense for all worldwide facilities and equipment, which is being recognized on a straight-line basis over terms of the various leases, was $1.4 million and $2.9 million during the three and six months ended January 31, 2014, and $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended January 31, 2013. Letters of Credit In addition to the unsecured letter of credit noted above, the Company had an unsecured letter of credit agreement related to a customer arrangement for Polish Zloty 10.0 million (approximately $3.2 million as of January 31, 2014) to secure contractual commitments and prepayments. No amounts were outstanding under the Company's unsecured letters of credit as of January 31, 2014 or July 31, 2013. The Company had no outstanding secured letters of credit as of January 31, 2014 or July 31, 2013. Legal Proceedings In December 2007, Accenture Global Services GmbH and Accenture LLP (collectively, “Accenture”), a competitor, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware Court") (Accenture Global Services GmbH and Accenture LLP v. Guidewire Software, Inc., Case No 07-826-SLR). Accenture alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,013,284 (the “ '284 patent”), among others, by the Company's products; trade-secret misappropriation; and tortious interference with business relations. In October 2011, the Company agreed with Accenture to resolve all outstanding litigation concerning the Company's respective insurance claims management software. As part of the settlement, the parties agreed to a royalty free cross license of all then-current patents and patent applications. In connection with the settlement, the Company has paid $10.0 million to Accenture with a potential additional payment based on the final outcome of Accenture’s appeal regarding the validity of its '284 patent. In May 2011, the Delaware Court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment, finding that Accenture's '284 patent was invalid. In September 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Appeals Court") affirmed the decision of the District Court and held the '284 patent invalid. In December 2013, Accenture's request for a rehearing of the Appeals Court’s affirmation by the full Federal Circuit sitting en banc was denied. In January 2014, Accenture requested United States Supreme Court review; the Company is opposing the request. If Accenture is allowed to appeal and is ultimately successful, then the Company has agreed to pay Accenture an additional $20.0 million. Otherwise, no further payments would be due in connection with the settlement. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the favorable decision of the District Court and the affirmation of the Appeals Court, by opposing any requests for further review, as well as defending any such appeal if allowed. In addition to the matters described above, from time to time, the Company is involved in various other legal proceedings and receives claims, arising from the normal course of business activities. The Company has accrued for estimated losses in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for matters with respect to which it believes the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Indemnification The Company sells software licenses and services to its customers under contracts (“Software License”). Each Software License contains the terms of the contractual arrangement with the customer and generally includes certain provisions for defending the customer against any claims that the Company’s software infringes upon a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of a third party. Software Licenses also indemnify the customer against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be assessed against the customer in the event the Company’s software is found to infringe upon such third party rights. The Company has not had to reimburse any of its customers for losses related to indemnification provisions and no material claims against the Company are outstanding as of January 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases under various Software Licenses, the Company cannot estimate the amount of potential future payments, if any, related to indemnification provisions. The Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of these persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by the Company, arising out of that person’s services as the Company’s director or officer or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at the Company’s request. The Company maintains director and officer insurance coverage that may enable the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Jan. 31, 2014
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The benefit from income taxes for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2014 was $1.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. The benefit for income taxes for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2013 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The change is primarily due to a decrease in profitability in the current periods. The effective tax rate of 54.6% and 41.7% for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2014 differs from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% mainly due to the benefit for the ISO tax deduction, permanent differences for stock-based compensation, the impact of state income taxes, the tax rate differences between the United States and foreign countries, and research tax credits. The Company provides U.S. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries, unless the subsidiaries’ earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. As of January 31, 2014, U.S. income taxes were not provided for on the cumulative total of $14.6 million undistributed earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries. As of January 31, 2014, the unrecognized deferred tax liability for these earnings was approximately $1.4 million. During the six month period ended January 31, 2014, the change in unrecognized tax benefits from the beginning of the period was $1.4 million. Accordingly, as of January 31, 2014, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.1 million that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

- Definition
