Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) develops, markets and sells proprietary mobile capture and identity verification software solutions for enterprise customers. The Company applies its patented technology in image capture, correction and intelligent data extraction in the mobile financial and business services markets. The Company’s technology allows users to remotely deposit checks, open accounts, get insurance quotes, pay bills as well as verify their identity by taking pictures of various documents with their camera-equipped smartphones and tablets instead of using the device’s keyboard. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has been granted 25 patents and it has an additional 18 patent applications pending. The Mobile Verify™ products combine the Mitek MiSnap auto capture experience with a variety of advanced computer vision techniques to provide verification of ID documents. Mobile Verify provides a check of authenticity of U.S. state-issued driver’s licenses and includes full global coverage. These products enable banks and other businesses to improve know your customer processes. Mobile Fill™ enables the camera to serve as a keyboard. Using Mobile Fill, consumers can quickly pre-fill any form with personal data by simply snapping a picture of their driver license, credit card, or other document. The Company’s Mobile Deposit® product is software that allows users to remotely deposit a check using their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet. As of March 31, 2016, 5,007 financial institutions have signed agreements to deploy Mobile Deposit®. These include all of the top ten, and nearly all of the top 50 U.S. retail banks. The Company’s mobile imaging software solutions are available for iOS and Android operating systems. The Company markets and sells the Mitek Mobile Identity Suite of mobile capture and identity verification software products directly to enterprise customers or through channel partners. These software solutions are embedded in mobile banking or enterprise applications developed by banks, insurance companies or their partners, and then marketed under their own proprietary brands. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The Company believes the footnotes and other disclosures made in the financial statements are adequate for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The financial statements include all adjustments (solely of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to make the information presented not misleading. You should read these financial statements and the accompanying notes in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2015. Results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Foreign Currency The Company’s foreign subsidiaries operate and sell the Company’s products and services in various countries and jurisdictions around the world. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risks. For those subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate over the period. Resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded net gains resulting from foreign exchange translation of $1,000 and zero for the three months and net losses of $0.1 million and zero for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 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, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These estimates include, but are not limited to, assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, estimation of the value of stock-based compensation awards, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, impairment of goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value related to revenue recognition and income taxes. Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of IDchecker in fiscal year 2015. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually or as circumstances indicate that their value may no longer be recoverable. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC Topic 350”), the Company reviews the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment at least annually in the fiscal fourth quarter and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate a potential reduction in the fair value of the reporting unit and/or the indefinite-lived intangible asset below their respective carrying values. Examples of such events or circumstances include: a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, a significant decline in the stock price, a significant decline in projected revenue or cash flows, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, or the presence of other indicators that would indicate a reduction in the fair value of a reporting unit. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill has been assigned exceeds management’s estimate of its fair value. Based on the guidance provided by ASC Topic 350 and ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, management has determined that the Company operates in one segment and consists of one reporting unit given the similarities in economic characteristics between operations and the common nature of the products, services and customers. As the Company has only one reporting unit, and because the Company is publicly traded, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on market capitalization as this represents the best evidence of fair value. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we completed the annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2015 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. The conclusion that goodwill was not impaired was based on a comparison of net assets as of September 30, 2015 to market capitalization. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives. Each period, the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of its intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. The carrying amounts of these assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. The carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value if the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of these assets. Net Income Per Share The Company calculates net income per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share also gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, such as options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), if dilutive. In a period with a net loss position, potentially dilutive securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss because to do so would be antidilutive, and the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss is the same. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the following potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the calculation of net income per share, as they would have been antidilutive:
|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  |  | Six Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Stock options |  |  | 1,013,306 |  |  |  | 2,507,643 |  |  |  | 997,991 |  |  |  | 2,218,425 |
Restricted stock units |  |  | 25,979 |  |  |  | 399,780 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 435,461 |
IDchecker closing shares |  |  | 415,611 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 466,980 |  |  |  | - |
Total potentially dilutive common shares outstanding |  |  | 1,454,896 |  |  |  | 2,907,423 |  |  |  | 1,464,971 |  |  |  | 2,653,886 |
The calculation of basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:
|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |  |  | Six Months Ended March 31, |

Revenue Recognition Revenue from sales of software licenses sold through direct and indirect channels is recognized upon shipment of the related product, if the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition (“ASC 985-605”) are met, including evidence of an arrangement, delivery, fixed or determinable fee, collectability and VSOE of the fair value of the undelivered element. If the requirements of ASC 985-605 are not met at the date of shipment, revenue is not recognized until such elements are known or resolved. Revenue from customer support services, or maintenance revenue, includes post-contract support and the rights to unspecified upgrades and enhancements. VSOE of fair value for customer support services is determined by reference to the price the customer pays for such element when sold separately; that is, the renewal rate offered to customers. In those instances when objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered items but not for the delivered items, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of arrangement consideration allocated to the delivered items equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate fair value of the undelivered items. Revenue from post-contract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Certain customers have agreements that provide for usage fees above fixed minimums. Usage fees above fixed minimums are recognized as revenue when such amounts are reasonably estimable and billable. Revenue from professional services is recognized when such services are delivered. When a software sales arrangement requires professional services related to significant production, modification or customization of software, or when a customer considers professional services essential to the functionality of the software product, revenue is recognized based on predetermined milestone objectives required to complete the project, as those milestone objectives are deemed to be substantive in relation to the work performed. Any expected losses on contracts in progress are recorded in the period in which the losses become probable and reasonably estimable. The Company provides hosting services that give customers access to software that resides on Company servers. The Company’s model typically includes an up-front fee and a monthly commitment from the customer that commences upon completion of the implementation through the remainder of the customer life. The up-front fee is the initial setup fee, or the implementation fee. The monthly commitment includes, but is not limited to, a fixed monthly fee or a transactional fee based on system usage that exceeds monthly minimums. If the up-front fee does not have standalone value, revenue is deferred until the date the customer commences use of the Company’s services, at which point the up-front fees are recognized ratably over the life of the customer arrangement. If the up-front fee has standalone value, revenue is deferred until the work has been performed. In determining whether professional services have standalone value, the Company considers the following factors for each customer arrangement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the professional services, the timing of when the professional services contract was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer’s satisfaction with the professional services work. Investments Investments consist of corporate notes and bonds, and commercial paper. The Company classifies investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. All investments are recorded at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered to be other-than-temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely that the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of its cost basis. 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 Statements of Other Comprehensive Income. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015. All investments whose maturity or sale is expected within one year are classified as “current” on the balance sheet. All other securities are classified as “long-term” on the balance sheet. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual payment terms. Allowances for doubtful accounts are established based on various factors, including credit profiles of the Company’s customers, contractual terms and conditions, historical payments, and current economic trends. The Company reviews its allowances by assessing individual accounts receivable over a specific aging and amount. Accounts receivable are written off on a case-by-case basis, net of any amounts that may be collected. The Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,300 and $12,900 as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively. Capitalized Software Development Costs Costs incurred for the development of software that will be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are capitalized when technological feasibility has been established. Software development costs consist primarily of compensation of development personnel and related overhead incurred to develop new products and upgrade and enhance the Company’s current products, as well as fees paid to outside consultants. Capitalization of software development costs ceases and amortization of capitalized software development costs commences when the products are available for general release. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, no software development costs were capitalized because the time period and costs incurred between technological feasibility and general release for all software product releases were not material or were not realizable. Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, the Company is not subject to potential obligations under guarantees that fall within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees (“ASC 460”), except for standard indemnification and warranty provisions that are contained within many of the Company’s customer license and service agreements and certain supplier agreements, and give rise only to the disclosure requirements prescribed by ASC 460. Indemnification and warranty provisions contained within the Company’s customer license and service agreements and certain supplier agreements are generally consistent with those prevalent in the Company’s industry. The Company has not previously incurred significant costs to settle claims or pay awards under these indemnification or warranty obligations. The Company accounts for these obligations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies (“ASC 450”), and records a liability for these obligations when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company has not recorded any liabilities for these obligations as of March 31, 2016 or September 30, 2015. Fair Value of Equity Instruments The fair value of equity instruments involves significant estimates based on underlying assumptions made by management. The fair value for purchase rights under the Company’s equity plans is measured at the grant date using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which involves estimates of stock volatility, expected life of the instruments and other assumptions, and using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date for RSUs. The fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as an expense over the respective terms of the awards. Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding the future realization of such assets, which is based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. Until such time as the Company can demonstrate that it will no longer incur losses, or if the Company is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, it could be required to maintain the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of net income, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. Included on the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2016 is an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.1 million, compared to $3,000 at September 30, 2015, related to the Company’s available-for-sale securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This accounting standard update will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASC 606. In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (Topic 805)” (“ASU 2015-16”) which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. ASU 2015-16 requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2015-16 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 is intended to provide users of financial statements with more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2016-01 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the impact of adopting the new lease standard on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplified certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxes, classification of awards and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new stock compensation standard on its consolidated financial statements. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the three months ended March 31, 2016 had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
