THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations ANGI Homeservices Inc. connects quality home service professionals across 500 different categories, from repairing and remodeling to cleaning and landscaping, with consumers. Over 230,000 domestic service professionals actively seek consumer matches, complete jobs or advertise work through ANGI Homeservices' platforms and consumers turn to at least one of our brands to find a professional for more than 25 million projects each year. We’ve established category-transforming products with brands such as HomeAdvisor, Angie’s List, Handy and Fixd Repair. The Company has two operating segments (i) North America (United States and Canada), which includes HomeAdvisor, Angie's List, Handy, mHelpDesk, HomeStars and Fixd Repair and (ii) Europe, which includes Travaux, MyHammer, MyBuilder, Werkspot and Instapro. As used herein, "ANGI Homeservices," the "Company," "ANGI," "we," "our" or "us" and similar terms refer to ANGI Homeservices Inc. and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise). At September 30, 2020, IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC") owned 84.5% and 98.2% of the economic interest and voting interest, respectively, of ANGI Homeservices. COVID-19 Update The impact on the Company from the COVID-19 outbreak, which has been declared a "pandemic" by the World Health Organization, has been varied. The extent to which developments related to the COVID-19 outbreak and measures designed to curb its spread continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the speed of contagion, the development and implementation of effective preventative measures and possible treatments, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel, discretionary services (including those provided by certain of our service professionals) and other activity, and public reactions to these developments. For example, these developments and measures have resulted in rapid and adverse changes to the operating environment in which we do business, as well as significant uncertainty concerning the near and long term economic ramifications of the COVID-19 outbreak, which have adversely impacted our ability to forecast our results and respond in a timely and effective manner to trends related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The longer the global outbreak and measures designed to curb the spread of the virus continue to adversely affect levels of consumer confidence, discretionary spending and the willingness of consumers to interact with other consumers, vendors and service providers face-to-face (and in turn, adversely affect demand for the Company’s various products and services), the greater the adverse impact is likely to be on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations and the more limited will be the Company’s ability to try and make up for delayed or lost revenues. In March 2020, the Company experienced a decline in demand for service requests, driven primarily by decreases in demand in certain categories of jobs (particularly discretionary indoor projects). In the second quarter of 2020, th e Company experienced a rebound in service requests, exceeding pre-COVID-19 growth levels, driven by increased demand from homeowners who spent more time at home due to measures taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The Company continued to experience strong demand for home services in the third quarter of 2020. However, many service professionals' businesses have been adversely impacted by labor and material constraints and many service professionals have limited capacity to take on new business, which has negatively impacted the Company's ability to monetize this increased level of service requests. In addition, the United States, which represents 94% of the Company's revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, has experienced a significant resurgence of the COVID-19 virus with record levels of infection being reported in the weeks following September 30, 2020. Europe, which is the second largest market for the Company's products and services, has also seen a dramatic resurgence in COVID-19. This resurgence and the measures designed to curb its spread could result in continued variability in service requests and/or a reduction in our ability to monetize service requests due to service professional constraints, one or both of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all entities that are wholly-owned by the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. For the purpose of these financial statements, income taxes have been computed as if ANGI Homeservices filed tax returns on a standalone, separate tax return basis. Any differences between taxes currently payable to or receivable from IAC under the tax sharing agreement between the Company and IAC and the current tax provision computed on an as if standalone, separate return basis for GAAP are reflected as adjustments to additional paid-in capital and as financing activities within the statement of cash flows. In management's opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Accounting Estimates Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These estimates, judgments and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to: the fair values of cash equivalents; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; the determination of revenue reserves; the carrying value of right-of-use assets ("ROU assets"); the useful lives and recoverability of definite-lived intangible assets and capitalized software, leasehold improvements and equipment; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; unrecognized tax benefits; the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets; and the fair value of and forfeiture rates for stock-based awards, among others. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience, its forecasts and budgets and other factors that the Company considers relevant. General Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services or goods is transferred to the Company's customers and in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods. The Company's disaggregated revenue disclosures are presented in "Note 7—Segment Information." Prior to January 1, 2020, Handy recorded revenue on a net basis. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company modified the Handy terms and conditions so that Handy, rather than the service professional, has the contractual relationship with the consumer to deliver the service and Handy, rather than the consumer, has the contractual relationship with the service professional. Consumers request services and pay for such services directly through the Handy platform and then Handy fulfills the request with independently established home services providers engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business that customarily provides such services. This change in contractual terms requires gross revenue accounting treatment effective January 1, 2020. Also, in the case of certain tasks, HomeAdvisor provides a pre-priced product offering, pursuant to which consumers can request services through a HomeAdvisor platform and pay HomeAdvisor for the services directly. HomeAdvisor then fulfills the request with independently established home services providers engaged in a trade, occupation and/or business that customarily provides such services. Revenue from HomeAdvisor’s pre-priced product offering is also recorded on a gross basis effective January 1, 2020. In addition to changing the presentation of revenue to gross from net, the timing of revenue recognition changed for HomeAdvisor pre-priced jobs and will be later than consumer connection revenue because the Company will not be able to record revenue, generally, until the service professional completes the job on the Company's behalf. The change to gross revenue reporting for Handy and HomeAdvisor’s pre-priced product offering, effective January 1, 2020, resulted in an increase in revenue of $20.8 million and $51.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of the Company's performance. The Company’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract by contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of the Company's performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2019 were $58.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $55.7 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $58.5 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2018. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at September 30, 2020 are $58.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Non-current deferred revenue is included in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Practical Expedients and Exemptions As permitted under the practical expedient available under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. For sales incentive programs where the customer relationship period is one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred. The amount of capitalized sales commissions where the initial customer relationship period is greater than one year is $52.2 million and $39.1 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The current and non-current capitalized sales commissions balances are included in "Other current assets" and "Other non-current assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are $50.0 million and $2.2 million, and $35.1 million and $4.0 million, at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Allowance for Credit Losses and Revenue Reserve The following table presents the changes in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:
| September 30, 2020
| (In thousands)
Balance at January 1 | $ | 19,066 |
Current period provision for credit losses | 60,090 |
Write-offs charged against the allowance | (53,208) |
Recoveries collected | 1,883 |
Balance at September 30 | $ | 27,831 |
The revenue reserve was $2.0 million and $1.2 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The total allowance for credit losses and revenue reserve was $29.8 million and $20.3 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. ASU No. 2016-13 replaces the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach and there was no cumulative effect arising from the adoption. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Adoption of ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 effective January 1, 2020, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. Most amendments within ASU No. 2019-12 are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective basis for those amendments that are not applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
