Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Description of Business DocuSign, Inc. (“we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Washington in April 2003. We merged with and into DocuSign, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in March 2015. We provide a platform that enables businesses of all sizes to digitally prepare, execute and act on agreements, thereby simplifying and accelerating the process of doing business. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DocuSign, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Therefore, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used to prepare the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2020. Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2020, for example, are to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include those related to the allocation of revenue between recognized and deferred amounts, allowance for bad debts, goodwill, intangible assets, deferred contract acquisition costs, customer benefit period, fair value of financial instruments, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of common stock, f air value of the liability and equity components of the convertible notes, whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, the discount rate used for operating leases, and the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes. Significant Accounting Policies Other than described below, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Leases Leases arise from contractual obligations that convey the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception, based on whether there is an identified asset and whether we control the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. At lease commencement date, we determine lease classification between finance and operating, allocate the consideration to the lease and nonlease components and recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for each lease component. A right-of-use asset represents our right to use an underlying asset and a lease liability represents our obligation to make payments during the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate unless the interest rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date for borrowings with a similar term. The right-of-use asset is initially measured as the present value of the lease payments, adjusted for initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments to lessors and lease incentives. Our operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities recognized at February 1, 2019, the adoption date, were based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term as of that date, using the incremental borrowing rate as of that date. We elected the practical expedients to not recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with a term of less than twelve months and to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease components for our office leases and certain other asset classes. The total consideration includes fixed payments and contractual escalation provisions. We are responsible for maintenance, insurance, property taxes and other variable payments, which are expensed as incurred. Our leases include options to renew or terminate. We include the option to renew or terminate in our determination of the lease term when the option is deemed to be reasonably assured to be exercised. We account for changes in the expected lease term as a modification of the original contract. Operating leases are classified in "Operating lease right-of-use assets", "Operating lease liabilities—current", and "Operating lease liabilities—noncurrent" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term and included in "Loss from operations" in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Strategic Investments Our strategic investments consist of non-marketable equity investments in privately-held companies in which we do not have a controlling interest or significant influence. We have elected to apply the measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, measuring them at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. An impairment loss is recorded when event or circumstance indicates a decline in value has occurred. In March 2019, we purchased equity investments in privately-held companies totaling $15.5 million that were classified in "Other assets—noncurrent" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As there have been no material observable price changes, we have not recorded any adjustments resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar investments or impairment charges for any of our equity investments in privately-held companies in the three months ended April 30, 2019. We had no such investments as of January 31, 2019. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued accounting standards update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes current guidance related to accounting for leases. This guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The ASU makes 16 technical corrections to the new leases standard and other accounting topics, alleviating unintended consequences from applying the new standard. It does not make any substantive changes to the core provisions or principles of the new standard. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842). The ASU provides (1) an optional transition method that entities can use when adopting the standard and (2) a practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. The standard is effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted the new standard as of February 1, 2019, and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. We elected the optional transition approach to not apply Topic 842 in the comparative periods presented. We elected the practical expedient to use hindsight when determining the lease term and the package of practical expedients to not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, the lease classification for existing leases and whether existing initial direct costs meet the new definition. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of total right-of-use assets of $93.9 million and total lease liabilities of $121.8 million as of adoption date, with the most significant impact related to our office space leases. Additionally, we derecognized $26.6 million in deferred rent and $2.5 million related to the build-to-suit asset and liability upon adoption of this standard pursuant to the transition guidance provided for build-to-suit leases. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or statements of cash flows. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). As the amendment only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the TCJA, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for all entities. The amendment is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the TCJA is recognized. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. Under the guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date. The ASU is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period, but not before an entity adopts the topic 606 revenue guidance. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements, which clarifies, corrects errors in and makes improvements to several topics in the FASB Accounting Standard Codification. The transition and effective date guidance is based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and were effective upon issuance of the ASU. Amendments that do have transition guidance are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an expected loss model in place of the currently used incurred loss method. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The update to the standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which modifies, removes and adds certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
