Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Weave Communications, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Weave Communications Canada, Inc. and Weave Communications India Private Limited (collectively, “Weave” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive loss, statements of stockholders' equity, statements of cash flows and accompanying notes are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial condition, its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The historical results are not necessarily indicative of future results, and the results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. Segments The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates reporting operations and financial information on a consolidated basis for the purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements include the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, allowance for credit losses, recoverability of long-lived assets, fair value of stock-based compensation, amortization period of deferred contract costs, the incremental borrowing rate used in determining the value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and useful lives for depreciable assets. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash consists of deposits in financial institutions. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments in money market securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximated their carrying value as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company did not have any restricted cash. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has incurred losses and, with the exception of the first three quarters of 2023, has generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $255.6 million. The Company has partially funded its operations through cash flows generated by the sale of subscriptions to the Company’s platform. In November 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering, which generated additional net proceeds of $107.5 million. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding borrowings under its revolving line of credit of $10.0 million and $40.0 million in available borrowings. The Company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit, and cash flows provided by sales of product offerings will be sufficient to meet operating cash flow requirements for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the September 30, 2023, unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result of the Company’s growth plans, the Company may experience losses and negative cash flows from operations in the future. Short-Term Investments The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase. As the Company views these securities as available to support current operations, it accounts for these debt securities as available-for-sale and classifies them as current assets on its consolidated balance sheets. These securities are recorded at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company periodically evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company considers impairments to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is more likely than not that the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of their cost basis. If the Company does not intend to sell a security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the unrealized loss is separated into an amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in other income (expense), net, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Realized gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $0.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded advertising expense of $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and $5.6 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Revenue Recognition The Company derives substantially all revenue from subscription services by providing customers access to its platform. The Company recognizes revenue when control of these services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services, net of tax. Revenue recognition is determined from the following steps: •Identification of a contract with a customer; •Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; •Determination of the transaction price; •Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract; and •Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue as follows: Subscriptions revenue (software and phone service) is generated from fees that provide customers access to one or more of the Company’s software applications and related services. These arrangements generally have contractual terms of month-to-month. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the Company’s software at any time. Instead, customers are granted continuous access to the services over the contractual period. The Company transfers control of services evenly over the contractual period. Accordingly, the consideration related to subscriptions is recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the contract term beginning on the date the Company’s service is made available to the customer. The Company also provides payment processing/collection services and receives a revenue share from a third-party payment facilitator on transactions between Weave customers that utilize the Weave payments platform and their end consumers. These payment transactions are generally for services rendered at customers’ business location via credit card terminals, mobile devices using 'tap-to-pay", or through several card-not-present modalities, including “text-to-pay” functionality. As the Company acts as an agent in these arrangements, revenue from payments services is recorded net of transaction processing fees and revenue is recognized as the performance obligation is performed each time transactions are processed. The Company offers remote installation services as part of the onboarding process, wherein the Company can install pre-configured applications on customer hardware, which allow remote access to Weave’s cloud solution. Customers may also choose to engage directly with one of several preferred third-party providers to perform on-site installation services. The Company considers onboarding/installation a separate performance obligation, and recognizes revenue at the time the installation services are complete. With the exception of payments services and installation revenue, customers are billed in advance and may elect to be billed on a monthly or annual basis. The Company records contract liabilities to deferred revenue when cash payments are received, or billings are due in advance of revenue recognition from services. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. Software and phone service revenue is recognized net of discounts in the statements of operations. The Company does not consider discounts variable consideration as they are stated on each agreement and not subject to contingencies or variability. The Company collects sales and communications taxes from its customers. In the statement of operations, amounts collected from taxes are excluded from the reported revenue amounts. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to not disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with a contract term of one year or less. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $1.8 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for contracts with original performance obligations that exceed one year. As the right to invoice for this $1.8 million does not begin until October 2023, this amount is not recorded in deferred revenue as of September 30, 2023. The Company expects to recognize revenue on these remaining performance obligations over the next 10 months. In addition to providing software and VoIP phone services, the Company provides phone hardware to its customers as part of the subscription. The Company allows customers to include up to 5 phones without adjustment to the subscription base price. In such arrangements, the Company is deemed the lessor and the arrangement is an operating lease per guidance provided in ASC 842. Title of the phones does not transfer to the customer at any point. If a customer were to cancel at any time, the phones are returned to the Company. For customers subscribed prior to August 2021, the Company allowed customers to include up to 10 phones without adjustment to the subscription base price and title of the phones transfers to the customer after 36 months of subscription have occurred. If a customer were to cancel at any time prior to completion of the 36-month period, the phones are returned to the Company. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company recorded $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in lease revenues associated with phone hardware. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company recorded $3.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in lease revenues associated with the phone hardware. As a lessor, future minimum lease payments may vary due to customer agreements being month-to-month and the fact that subscription payments are allocated based on the fair value of all services provided to the customer. With phones being deployed to customers for their useful life, residual value does not accrue to the benefit of the Company. Phones that are returned are refurbished and placed into service. Deferred Contract Costs In accordance with ASC-340, the Company capitalizes incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling a contract, provided the Company expects to recover those costs. The capitalized amounts mainly consist of sales commissions paid to the Company’s direct sales force. Capitalized costs also include: •Commissions to sales management for achieving incremental sales quota; •The associated payroll taxes and fringe benefit costs associated with the payments to the Company’s employees; •One-time commissions paid to partners; and •One-time registration fees assessed by mobile carriers. These costs are recorded as deferred contract acquisition and fulfillment costs on the consolidated balance sheet. Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs related to commissions, and the associated taxes and fringe benefit costs, are included in sales and marketing expense. Deferred contract acquisition costs related to one-time commissions paid to partners are included in cost of revenue. Deferred contract fulfillment costs related to one-time registration fees paid to mobile carriers are included in cost of revenue. These expenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period of consumer benefit, 3 years. In arriving at this average period of benefit, the Company evaluated both qualitative and quantitative factors which included the anticipated customer life, historical customer life, and the useful life of the Company’s product offerings. Monthly commensurate revenue share fees paid to partners are expensed as incurred as their estimated period of benefit does not extend beyond 12 months and they therefore fall under the practical expedient which allows these costs to be expensed as incurred. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. For all leases with a term greater than twelve months, the new standard also requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability on their consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption, lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements or they may record the amount in the year in which the ASU is adopted. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous Topic 840. For example, the vast majority of operating leases should remain classified as operating leases, and lessors should continue to recognize lease income for those leases on a generally straight-line basis over the lease term. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach with the effective date as of the date of initial application. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows an entity to carryforward certain conclusions for leases that commenced prior to the effective date, including the determination of whether an existing contract contains a lease, the classification of the lease, and the accounting for initial direct costs. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient that allows lessees the option to account for lease and non lease components together as a single component for all classes of underlying assets. The Company performed evaluations of its contracts to ensure compliance with the new guidance of Topic 842. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost, and includes the Company's accounts receivable, certain financial instruments and contract assets. ASU 2016-13 results in more timely recognition of credit losses. The Company adopted Topic 326 as of January 1, 2023, which did not materially impact the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption As an “emerging growth company,” the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use the adoption dates applicable to private companies. As a result, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective date for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies.
