Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In management's opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2015, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 ("Annual Report") filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required under GAAP. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These changes did not impact the results of operations, cash flows, or financial position of the Company. In addition, in connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company revised the classification of the amortization expense of developed technology arising from acquisitions. The amortization expense was previously recorded within research and development expenses as a component of operating expenses and was reclassified as a component of cost of revenue. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income were adjusted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 to increase cost of revenue and reduce gross profit by $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Research and development expenses were reduced by the same adjustments resulting in no change to reported net income attributable to the Company or basic or diluted net earnings attributable to common stock per share. The revision was not deemed material to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Basis of consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional currency of PROS France SAS, formerly known as Cameleon Software SA ("PROS France") is the Euro. The financial statements of this subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, historical rates of exchange for equity, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenue and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders' equity. Dollar amounts The dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure. Use of estimates The Company makes estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and its estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The complexity and judgment required in the Company's estimation process, as well as issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the application of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue. Estimates are also used for, but not limited to, receivables, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of assets, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation, valuation of stock options, other current liabilities and accrued liabilities. Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates. The critical accounting policies related to the estimates and judgments are discussed in the Company's Annual Report under management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. There have been no significant changes to the Company's critical accounting policies as described in the Company's Annual Report. Revenue recognition The Company derives its revenue from the licensing and implementation of software solutions and associated software maintenance and support. The Company also offers software-as-a-service ("SaaS") and cloud-based services that do not require customers to host our solutions in their data centers. This SaaS and cloud-based component of our revenues is currently growing at a faster rate than our license revenue. The Company's arrangements with customers typically include: (a) license or SaaS fees paid for the use of software solutions either in perpetuity or over a specified term and implementation fees for configuration, implementation and training services and (b) maintenance and support fees related to technical support and software updates. If there is significant uncertainty about contract completion or collectability is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved or collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and fees are fixed or determinable. In determining whether professional services revenue should be accounted for separately from license revenue, the Company evaluates whether the professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software using factors such as: the nature of its software products; whether they are ready for use by the customer upon receipt; the nature of professional services; the availability of services from other vendors; whether the timing of payments for license revenue coincides with performance of services; and whether milestones or acceptance criteria exist that affect the realizability of the software license fee. If the Company determines that professional services revenue should not be accounted for separately from license revenue, the license revenue is recognized together with the professional services revenue using the percentage-of-completion method or completed contract method. The completed contract method is also used for contracts where there is a risk over final acceptance by the customer or for contracts that are short-term in nature. The percentage-of-completion method is measured by the percentage of man-days incurred during the reporting period as compared to the estimated total man-days necessary for each contract for implementation of the software solutions. The Company measures performance under the percentage-of-completion method using the total man-day method based on current estimates of man-days to complete the project. The Company believes that for each such project, man-days expended in proportion to total estimated man-days at completion represents the most reliable and meaningful measure for determining a project's progress toward completion. Under our fixed-fee arrangements, should a loss be anticipated on a contract, the full amount of the loss is recorded when the loss is determinable. The Company also licenses software solutions under term license agreements that typically include maintenance during the license term. When maintenance is included for the entire term of the license, there is no renewal rate and the Company has not established vendor specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of fair value for the maintenance on term licenses. For term license agreements, revenue and the associated costs are deferred until the delivery of the solution and recognized ratably over the remaining license term. For arrangements that include cloud-based services, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration between the service and other elements and recognizes the cloud-based services fee ratably beginning on the date the customer commences use of those services and continues through the end of the service term. The Company's customer arrangements typically contain multiple elements that include software license, professional services and post-implementation maintenance and support. For multiple element arrangements containing our nonsoftware services, the Company must (1) determine whether and when each element has been delivered; (2) determine fair value of each element using the selling price hierarchy of VSOE of fair value, third party evidence ("TPE"), or best estimate of selling price ("BESP"), as applicable; and (3) allocate the total price among the various elements based on the relative selling price method. For multiple-element arrangements that contain software and nonsoftware elements such as the Company's cloud-based service offerings, the Company allocates revenue between the software and software related elements as a group and any nonsoftware elements based on a relative fair value allocation. The Company determines fair value for each deliverable using the selling price hierarchy described above and utilizes VSOE of fair value if it exists. In certain instances, the Company may not be able to establish VSOE for all deliverables in an arrangement with multiple elements. This may be due to infrequently selling each element separately, not pricing solutions or services within a narrow range, or only having a limited sales history. In addition, third party evidence may not be available. When the Company is unable to establish selling prices using VSOE or TPE, it uses BESP in the allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. For transactions that only include software and software-related elements, the Company continues to account for such arrangements under the software revenue recognition standards which require it to establish VSOE of fair value to allocate arrangement consideration to multiple deliverables. Maintenance and support revenue includes post-implementation customer support and the right to unspecified software updates and enhancements on a when and if available basis. The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance arrangements ratably over the period in which the services are provided. Revenue that has been recognized, but for which the Company has not invoiced the customer, is recorded as unbilled receivables. Invoices that have been issued before revenue has been recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Business Combinations We record tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Amounts paid for each acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. Significant management judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, particularly intangible assets. The valuation of purchased intangible assets is based upon estimates of the future performance and cash flows from the acquired business. Each asset is measured at fair value from the perspective of a market participant. The Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The Company's estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially established in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluates these estimates and assumptions quarterly and records any adjustments to the Company's preliminary estimates to goodwill, provided that the Company is within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Internal-use software Costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the development stage are capitalized, stated at cost, and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Development stage costs generally include salaries and personnel costs and third party contractor expenses associated with internal-use software configuration, coding, installation and testing. The Company capitalized internal-use software development costs related to cloud-based offerings of $0.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.3 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capitalized internal-use software development costs related to cloud-based offerings are amortized using the straight-line method over the useful life of the asset. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company amortized no capitalized internal-use software development costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company amortized $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of capitalized internal-use software development costs. Capitalized software for internal use is included in property and equipment, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs is included in cost of subscription revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Impairment of long-lived assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review includes comparison of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets with the associated assets' carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds its expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company recorded no impairment charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded a $2.1 million impairment charge related to internally developed software. The impairment resulted from a reduction of projected cash flows for a product group based on revisions to our projections during the quarter and was recorded to reduce the carrying value to fair value. This reflected changes to our plans for this product group in connection with the integration of our acquisitions. Other than such impairment charge, the Company recorded no other impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Noncash share-based compensation The Company measures all share-based payments to its employees based on the grant date fair value of the awards and recognizes expenses in the Company's unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the periods during which the recipient is required to perform services (generally over the vesting period of the awards). To date, the Company has granted stock options, Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"), stock settled Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"), and Market Stock Units ("MSUs"). RSUs include both time-based awards as well as performance-based awards in which the number of shares that vest upon satisfying certain conditions from binding customer agreements for the provision of configure, price, and quote ("CPQ") solutions. MSUs are performance-based awards in which the number of shares that vest are based upon the Company's relative stockholder return. The following table presents the number of shares or units outstanding for each award type as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, (in thousands):
Award type |  | June 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Stock options |  | 868 |  |  | 961 |
Restricted stock units (time based) |  | 2,104 |  |  | 1,830 |
Restricted stock units (performance based) |  | 32 |  |  | 34 |
Stock appreciation rights |  | 606 |  |  | 673 |
Market stock units |  | 563 |  |  | 444 |
Stock options, time based RSUs and SARs vest ratably between one and four years. The actual number of MSUs that will be eligible to vest is based on the total stockholder return of the Company relative to the total stockholder return of the Russell 2000 Index ("Index") over their respective performance periods, as defined by each award's plan documents. The Company did not grant any stock options or SARs during the three month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The fair value of the RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of MSUs on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The determination of fair value of the MSUs is affected by the Company's stock price and a number of assumptions including the expected volatilities of the Company's stock and the Index, its risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company's expected volatility at the date of grant was based on the historical volatilities of the Company and the Index over the performance period. The weighted average assumptions used to value the MSUs granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were as follows:
|  | June 30, 2015
Volatility |  | 42.06%
Risk-free interest rate |  | 0.89%
Expected option life in years |  | 2.95
Dividend yield |  | —
Earnings per share The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares then outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, shares of unvested restricted stock units, and settlement of stock appreciation rights. When the Company incurs a net loss, the effect of the Company's outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted net loss per share are identical. Short-term investments The Company's investments are available-for-sale commercial paper and certificates of deposit that are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), unless impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary. Other-than-temporary unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are generally recorded in gain (loss) on investments, net, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income unless certain criteria are met. The primary factors considered when determining if a charge must be recorded because a decline in the fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary include whether: (i) the fair value of the investment is significantly below our cost basis; (ii) the financial condition of the issuer of the security has deteriorated; (iii) if a debt security, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security; (iv) the decline in fair value has existed for an extended period of time; (v) if a debt security, such security has been downgraded by a rating agency; and (vi) we have the intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Investments with remaining maturities of twelve months or less are classified as short-term investments. Investments with remaining maturities of more than twelve months are classified as long-term investments. All of the Company's investments had contractual maturities of less than twelve months as of June 30, 2015. Fair value measurement The Company's financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of $122.9 million and $135.3 million invested in treasury money market funds at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The fair value of these accounts is determined based on quoted market prices, which represents level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as defined by Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure." The fair value of the Company's short-term investments which is comprised of available-for-sale commercial paper and certificates of deposit was $11.2 million as of June 30, 2015. The fair value of these accounts is determined based on quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets, which represents level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of unrealized loss related to the short-term investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Reclassification adjustments for realized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities in net income were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Deferred revenue and unbilled receivables Software license and implementation services that have been performed, but for which the Company has not invoiced the customer, are recorded as unbilled receivables, and invoices that have been issued before the software license and implementation services have been performed are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Credit Facility As of June 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Company's $50 million secured Credit Agreement ("Revolver"), and $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Revolver is included in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an immaterial amount of amortization of debt issuance cost which is included in other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Income taxes The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, primarily related to foreign income taxes, state taxes not based on pre-tax income, and acquisition-related tax amortization. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.2 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, primarily related to the Company’s pre-tax loss for the period partially offset by nondeductible officers’ compensation. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was (2)% and 15%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was (2)% and 10%, respectively. The income tax rates vary from the Federal and state statutory rates primarily due to valuation allowances on the Company's deferred tax assets, the limitation on the deductibility of certain officers' compensation, and foreign and state taxes. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarterly period. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized due to the valuation allowances on the Company's deferred tax assets are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter depending on the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's 2009 R&E credit and, at the present time, there is no indication of the potential outcome. The Company is not aware of any other significant audits in progress at this time. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal year 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, using one of two prescribed retrospective methods. No early adoption is permitted. In July 2015, the FASB approved a proposal to defer the effective date by one year, with early adoption on the original effective date permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on their consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentations of Debt Issuance Costs", which requires debt issuance cost to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. This new standard will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016, and is required to be retrospectively adopted. Adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets or related disclosures. With the exception of the new revenue standard discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company's Annual Report, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.
