Table of Contents

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Nature of Operations

 

Macromedia, Inc. (the “Company” or “Macromedia”) provides software that empowers developers and designers to create and deliver effective user experiences on the Internet, fixed media, wireless devices, and digital devices. The Company’s integrated family of technologies enables the development of a wide range of Internet solutions including Websites, rich media content, and Internet applications across multiple platforms and devices.

 

The Company sells its products through a worldwide network of distributors, value-added resellers (“VARs”), its own sales force and Websites, and to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). In addition, Macromedia derives revenues from software maintenance and technology licensing agreements.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002 and for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of Macromedia’s condensed consolidated financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for a report on Form 10-Q as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore, do not include all information and notes normally provided in annual financial statements. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in Macromedia’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002. The results of operations for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 or any other future periods.

 

3. Non-Marketable Investments

 

The Company has historically held certain non-marketable investments in certain companies that are accounted for on the cost-basis. Impairment losses are recognized on these investments when the Company determines that there has been a decline in the fair market value of the investment that is other than temporary.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company received $602,000 in cash, resulting from a merger involving a non-marketable investee with a third party. The Company also received approximately 588,000 shares of Series B common stock in the acquiring company. In June 2001, the Company had previously written off this non-marketable investment in accordance with its accounting policy. The Company’s management has determined the estimated fair value of the newly acquired shares received in the current period to be insignificant. Accordingly, no cost basis for this non-marketable investment was recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002. The cash received as a result of this merger was recorded as a gain on non-marketable investment during the three months ended December 31, 2002. During the first six months of fiscal year 2003, the Company also received funds totaling $53,000, representing its portion of the liquidated assets of another investee, which was also previously written off in accordance with

 

6


Table of Contents

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

the Company’s accounting policy. These gains were partially offset by impairment losses recorded in the first six months of fiscal year 2003 of $400,000, and accordingly, resulted in a net gain of $255,000 on non-marketable cost-basis investments for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. The Company did not have any remaining non-marketable cost-basis investments recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002.

 

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company also held common stock in two public companies that are accounted for as available-for-sale investments. During the first three months of fiscal year 2003, the Company wrote off one of these investments, which resulted in a charge of $403,000. The write off resulted from the severe and continued decline in the investee’s common stock price, viewed as other than temporary. At December 31, 2002, the net carrying value of the Company’s other available-for-sale investment was $45,000.

 

During the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded impairment losses on non-marketable cost-basis investments of $91,000 and $7.0 million, respectively. These losses were partially offset by funds received of $291,000 and $630,000 during the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, representing the Company’s portion of the liquidated assets of investees previously written off. The impairments represented write offs or write downs of the carrying amount of these non-marketable cost-basis investments recorded in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy.

 

4. Related Party Transactions

 

The Company holds loans receivable from certain non-executive management, primarily in connection with relocation related to their employment, which are secured by real property. The principal amount of the loans are payable on the loan maturity date and have an average remaining maturity of less than three years. These loans bear interest at rates between 2.7% and 6.4%.

 

5. Investment in Equity Affiliate

 

The Company recorded losses from its equity affiliate, AtomShockwave, of $36.0 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001. The charge reflected the Company’s share of AtomShockwave’s losses recorded in this period, as well as the write down of its investment and the write off of certain receivables. The Company’s investment balance in AtomShockwave since September 30, 2001 has been zero. The Company has not recognized its share of AtomShockwave’s losses since September 30, 2001, although it held approximately 35% of the outstanding voting shares of AtomShockwave at December 31, 2002.

 

6. Intangible Assets

 

On April 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As a result of adopting this Standard, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill, which had a net book value of $198.9 million at both December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, including $15.8 million in assembled workforce that was reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of this Standard. However, under SFAS No. 142, the Company does continue to amortize its other intangible assets with estimated useful lives.

 

SFAS No. 142 also requires the Company to perform a transitional impairment test by assessing the fair value and recoverability of its goodwill upon adoption and at least once a year prospectively. The Company performed its transitional impairment test upon adoption of this Standard, which did not result in an impairment of the Company’s goodwill. The Company currently operates in one business segment, the Software segment. When reviewing goodwill for impairment, SFAS No. 142 requires the Company to assess whether goodwill should be allocated to operating levels lower than its Software segment (termed “reporting units”) for which

Table of Contents

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

discrete financial information is available and reviewed for decision-making purposes. In addition, the reporting unit would have economic characteristics different than the economic characteristics of the other components of the Software segment. Currently, the Company does not have any reporting units lower than its Software segment that meet the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 142.

 

The Company intends to assess the fair value and recoverability of its goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, unless facts and circumstances warrant a review of goodwill for impairment before that time, as stipulated under SFAS No. 142.

 

At September 30, 2002, the Company compared the unamortized capitalized cost of the developed technology associated with its fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire Corporation (“Allaire”) to its net realizable value. This analysis was performed under the guidance of SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $15.7 million for the developed technology asset. This charge represented the amount by which the carrying value of the developed technology asset exceeded its fair value, using the asset’s estimated net realizable value as the fair value.

 

As a result of the impairment of the developed technology asset, the Company also performed an impairment analysis on the trade name associated with its fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire. The Company performed the analysis under the guidance of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, initially comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the trade name to its carrying value. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.7 million for the trade name asset. This charge represented the amount by which the carrying value exceeded its fair value, estimated by calculating its discounted cash flows.

 

As a result of the impairment of the developed technology asset and trade name, the Company also performed an impairment analysis on its goodwill, and assessed the fair value and recoverability of its goodwill balance as of September 30, 2002. This analysis did not result in an impairment of the Company’s goodwill.

 

At December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, intangible assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

7. Accrued Restructuring

 

In fiscal year 2002, the Company executed a restructuring plan to deliver cost synergies associated with its fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire and to better align its cost structure with the weaker business environment. During fiscal year 2002, the Company recorded restructuring expenses totaling $81.8 million.

 

Accruals associated with the fiscal year 2002 restructuring were recorded in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring), Emerging Issues Task Force No. 88-10, Costs Associated with Lease Modification or Termination, and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100, Restructuring

and Impairment Charges. Details of the restructuring accrual balances, cash payments, and restructuring adjustments recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 are presented in the following table:

The accrual balance at December 31, 2002 associated with facilities primarily represented the estimated future costs of 13 facilities to either cancel or vacate operating leases as well as estimated demise and tenant improvement costs to sublease these facilities, net of deferred rent and estimated sublease income. The inclusion of these costs in the restructuring was a result of staff reductions and changes in the Company’s business. The Company expects to make future facility rent payments, net of estimated sublease income, on its contractual lease obligations for these facilities through the end of its obligation periods. These net payments will be recorded as a reduction to the Company’s restructuring accrual.

 

Under the fiscal year 2002 restructuring, the Company had workforce reductions whereby it terminated approximately 330 employees, primarily in North America and the United Kingdom, impacting all of its business functions. The expenses included severance, fringe benefits, and job placement costs. The accrual balance at December 31, 2002 included ongoing scheduled fringe benefit payments for these former employees. The Company expects to be substantially complete with these payments by March 31, 2003.

 

8. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

 

The Company sells its products internationally in U.S. Dollars and certain foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, Japanese Yen, and British Pound. The Company regularly enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the impact of currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency revenues and operating expenses as well as subsequent receivables and payables. Management’s strategy is to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During fiscal year 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Upon adoption, the Company did not designate any foreign exchange forward contracts as SFAS No. 133 hedges and did not record any transition adjustments.

 

Cash Flow Hedging.    In fiscal year 2003, the Company began designating and documenting foreign exchange forward contracts related to forecasted transactions as cash flow hedges, and as a result, the Company began applying hedge accounting for these contracts. The critical terms of the foreign exchange forward contracts and the underlying transactions are matched at inception, and forward contract effectiveness is calculated, at least quarterly, by comparing the change in the fair value of the contracts to the change in fair value of the forecasted revenues or expenses, with the effective portion of the fair value of the hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The Company records any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments in other income (expense) on its condensed consolidated statements of operations, which was immaterial for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002. When the underlying forecasted transactions occur and impact earnings, the related gains or losses on the cash flow hedge are reclassified from

 

10


Table of Contents

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

AOCI to revenues or expenses. In the event it becomes probable that the forecasted transactions will not occur, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges would be reclassified from AOCI to other income (expense) at that time. All values reported in AOCI at December 31, 2002 will be reclassified to operations in eight months or less. At December 31, 2002, the outstanding cash flow hedging derivatives had maturities of twelve months or less.

 

The following table depicts cash flow hedge accounting activity as a component of AOCI for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 (in thousands):

Balance Sheet Hedging.    The Company manages its foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities using foreign exchange forward contracts. These derivative instruments are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense) on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. These derivative instruments substantially offset the remeasurement gains and losses recorded on identified foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2002, the Company’s outstanding balance sheet hedging derivatives had maturities of twelve months or less.

 

9. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) from operations, unrealized gains and losses on short-term investments classified as available-for-sale, and unrealized gains and losses associated with the Company’s cash flow hedges. The following table sets forth the calculation of comprehensive income (loss), net of tax:

10. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed using the treasury stock method by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common shares from options and warrants to purchase common stock.

11. Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information

 

During the three-and-nine month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company operated in one business segment, the Software segment. The Company’s Software segment provides software that empowers developers and designers to create effective user experiences on the Internet. The Company’s chief executive officer is the chief operating decision maker and evaluates operating segment performance based on the net revenues and total operating expenses of the Software segment. As such, the Company’s Software segment performance represents all of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-and-nine month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

 

The Company currently has two main product lines within its Software segment: Software Tools and Server Software. Training, maintenance, and other miscellaneous products revenues are included in other net revenues. Enterprise-wide net revenues by product line for the three-and-nine month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are disclosed in the following table:

12.    Sale of Acquired Technology

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of acquired technology of $1.0 million. The net carrying value of the technology, which was previously acquired in

Table of Contents

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

connection with the Company’s acquisition of Andromedia, Inc. during fiscal year 2000, had already been fully amortized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the date of sale. This gain represented the amount by which the proceeds received exceeded the net carrying value of this asset. This gain was reported as a component of other income (expense) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, as the transaction that resulted in the gain was not considered a component of its normal and on-going core business activities.

 

13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company’s principal commitments at December 31, 2002 consisted of obligations under operating leases for facilities, technology license agreements, and letter of credit arrangements.

 

Leases.    The Company leases office space and certain equipment under operating leases. In addition, Macromedia subleases certain office space that it does not expect to occupy prior to lease termination.

 

Technology Licenses.    The Company has entered into license agreements with third parties whose products or technologies are embedded in its software products. These license agreements generally provide for royalty payments on a fixed or per-unit basis.

 

Letters of Credit and Restricted Cash.    The Company held letters of credit from financial institutions totaling $12.3 million and $12.7 million at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively, in lieu of security deposits for leased office space. No amounts have been drawn against the letters of credit. The Company pledged as security in trust for certain of the letters of credit $10.9 million and $11.4 million of cash at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively. These funds were invested in a certificate of deposit and are classified as non-current restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Legal.    On and after September 25, 2000, Allaire, prior to its acquisition by Macromedia, and certain of Allaire’s officers and directors were named as defendants in several putative class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, each alleging violations of the federal securities laws. In December, 2000, the Court consolidated the lawsuits under the caption In re: Allaire Corporation Securities Litig., No. 00-CV-11972 (WGY) (“Class Action”), and appointed lead plaintiffs and counsel for the putative class. In February 2001, the lead plaintiffs, on behalf of a putative class defined as those who purchased Allaire stock between January 26, 2000, and September 18, 2000, filed a Corrected Consolidated Class Action Complaint alleging that Allaire, Joseph J. Allaire, Jeremy Allaire, David A. Gerth, and David J. Orfao, violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, and are seeking damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Class Action. In September 2001, the Court ruled that the complaint in the Class Action did not comply with the pleading standards imposed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and permitted plaintiffs to file an amended complaint in accordance with specific requirements imposed by the Court. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on In November 2001, which asserted similar claims on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who purchased Allaire stock between December 7, 1999 and September 18, 2000. In June 2002 the Court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court has set the trial date for the Class Action to commence in November 2003. The parties have commenced discovery on this matter. Although the Class Action is in its early stage and Macromedia is not able to predict the outcome of the litigation at this time, the Company intends to defend this claim vigorously.

 

In April 2001, Allaire, after it was acquired by Macromedia, Joseph J. Allaire, Jeremy Allaire, David A. Gerth, and David J. Orfao were named as defendants in an additional lawsuit alleging violations of the federal

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

securities laws that also was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Kassin v. Allaire Corporation, et al., No. 01-10600-WGY (“Kassin”). The complaint in Kassin, filed on behalf of an individual, alleges substantially the same violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as have been asserted in the Class Action, and additional claims for common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. In May 2001, the Court consolidated the Class Action and Kassin for purposes of briefing and oral argument on the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss Kassin. In September 2001, the Court consolidated Kassin with the Class Action, and the plaintiff’s claims in Kassin have been included in the amended complaint for the Class Action. As with the Class Action, Kassin is in its early stage and Macromedia is not able to predict the outcome of the litigation at this time. The Company intends to defend this claim vigorously.

 

14. Litigation Settlements

 

The Company entered into a settlement agreement with Adobe Systems Incorporated (“Adobe”) in July 2002, whereby the outstanding patent claims between the parties were dismissed with prejudice. Accordingly, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 reflect the reversal of the $2.8 million in damages originally awarded by the courts to Adobe and previously recorded as an accrued liability at March 31, 2002.

 

In fiscal year 2002, Macromedia, Inc. entered into a final judgment and settlement dismissing a complaint entitled Rosen et al. v. Macromedia, Inc. (“Rosen”). Under the settlement, the claims against Macromedia and all other defendants in the Rosen case and related state and federal cases were resolved without presumption or admission of any liability or wrongdoing. The settlement amount was $48.0 million, of which, $19.5 million was paid by insurance, net of reimbursable legal fees, and subject to a reservation of rights by RLI Corporation (“RLI”), one of the Company’s excess insurers, to seek reimbursement of its $5.0 million settlement contribution. In March 2002, RLI filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and several of its present and former officers and directors for reimbursement of the $5.0 million settlement contribution made by RLI toward the settlement of Rosen (the “RLI Claim”). The complaint alleges that California Insurance Code Section 533 bars insurance coverage for the underlying settlement. The Company disputed such allegations, and filed counterclaims for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (the “Macromedia Counterclaims”).

 

The Company and RLI reached a settlement with respect with the RLI Claim with the Company reimbursing RLI $2.5 million. See Note 15, Subsequent Event.

 

15. Subsequent Event

 

Subsequent to the Company’s press release issued on January 22, 2003 announcing its unaudited financial results for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002, the Company and RLI reached a settlement with respect to the RLI Claim and the Macromedia Counterclaims, pursuant to which Macromedia and RLI will dismiss with prejudice the Macromedia Counterclaims and the RLI Claim, respectively, and Macromedia will reimburse RLI $2.5 million of the $5.0 million settlement contribution made by RLI toward the settlement of Rosen. Consistent with its policy of accounting for subsequent events, the Company has recorded the $2.5 million settlement in its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2002 our business continued to be negatively affected by the adverse worldwide economic conditions, including the worldwide reduction in information technology and Web developer spending. Accordingly, we have maintained our focus on controlling costs and realizing the cost reduction benefits from our fiscal year 2002 restructuring efforts. At the same time, we are continuing to invest in our research and development activities to enhance existing products and create new products to address new markets and customers.

 

As a result of our cost control efforts, our spending has continued to decline during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period last year. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate focusing significant efforts on controlling our cost structure.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We make certain estimates, assumptions, and judgments when preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments can have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements including the value of certain assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as well as the amounts of net revenues, operating income (loss), and net income (loss) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We have identified the following to be critical accounting policies to Macromedia: allowance for sales returns; restructuring expenses and related accruals; and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.

 

Allowance for sales returns. We sell our products through a worldwide network of distributions, value-added resellers (“VARs”), our own sales force and Websites, and to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). In addition, we derive revenues from software maintenance and technology licensing agreements.

 

The primary sales channels into which we sell our boxed and volume-licensed products throughout the world are a network of distributors and VARs. Agreements with our distributors and VARs contain specific product return privileges for stock rotation and obsolete products for boxed products that are generally limited to contractual amounts. Returns for stock rotation for our current products from distributors are generally limited to 10% of their prior quarter’s purchases, provided they order new products for an amount equal to or exceeding the amount of the requested return. Distributors may typically return 100% of their inventory balance for obsolete product within a limited time after the release of a new version, provided they order new products for an amount equal to or exceeding the amount of the requested return. These agreements also contain specific product return privileges for volume-licensed products that are generally limited to order entry errors. As part of our revenue recognition practices, we have established an allowance for sales returns based upon future estimated returns. Product returns are recorded as a reduction of revenues and as a reduction of our accounts receivable on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

We review our allowance for sales returns on an ongoing basis. In estimating our allowance for sales returns, we evaluate the following factors:

 

    Historical product returns and inventory levels on a product-by-product basis, for each of our primary sales regions;

 

    Current inventory levels and sell through data on a product-by-product basis as reported to us by our distributors worldwide on a weekly or monthly basis;

 

    Our demand forecast by product in each of our principal geographic markets, which is impacted by our product release schedule, seasonal trends, analyses developed by our internal sales and marketing organizations, and analysis of third party market data;

 

    General economic conditions, specifically in the markets we serve; and

 

    Trends in our accounts receivable.

 

In general, we would expect the allowance for sales returns to increase following the announcement of new or upgraded versions of our products or in anticipation of such product announcements, as our distributors and

 

16

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

 

VARs seek to reduce their inventory levels of the prior version of a product in advance of receiving the new version. Similarly, we would expect that product inventory held by our distributors and VARs would increase following the successful introduction of new or upgraded products, as these resellers stock the new version in anticipation of end-user demand, which would result in a decrease in our allowance for sales returns.

 

In assessing the appropriateness of product inventory levels held by our resellers and the impact on potential product returns, we may limit sales to our distributors and VARs in order to maintain inventory levels deemed by management to be appropriate. We generally estimate our allowance for sales returns based on channel inventory levels between four to eight weeks of expected sales by our first-tier distributors and VARs, based on the criteria noted above. We make these estimates based on channel inventory and sell through information we obtain principally from our first-tier distributors and VARs. Product returns from our first-tier distributors and VARs are also impacted by actual product returns they receive directly from lower tiers of distribution for which we receive limited inventory and sell through information. Accordingly, actual product returns in future periods may differ from our estimates and may have a material adverse effect on our net revenues and consolidated results of operations due to factors including, but not limited to, market conditions and product release cycles. At December 31, 2002, our channel inventory, net of related reserves, remained within the estimated channel inventory range noted above.

 

Restructuring expenses and related accruals.    In fiscal year 2002, we executed a restructuring plan to deliver cost synergies associated with our fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire Corporation (“Allaire”) and to better align our cost structure with the weaker business environment. The $81.8 million charge recorded as a result of the restructuring primarily related to facility exit costs and employee termination and severance costs.

 

During fiscal year 2002, our restructuring expenses included costs related to canceling or vacating approximately 450,000 square feet of facility space held under our operating leases. These costs primarily related to the following: expenses for canceling or vacating facility operating leases as a result of staff reductions and changes in our business; demise and tenant improvement costs to sublease these facilities, net of deferred rent previously recorded by us; writing off the unamortized cost of abandoned fixed assets; employee termination and severance costs; and certain other related costs. Our restructuring expenses and accruals involved significant estimates made by management using the best information available at the time that the estimates were made, some of which we have obtained and verified through third-party advisors. These estimates include: facility exit costs such as demise and lease termination costs; timing and market conditions of rental payments and estimated sublease income; and any fees associated with our restructuring expenses, such as brokerage fees.

 

On a regular basis we evaluate a number of factors to determine the appropriateness and reasonableness of our restructuring accruals. Such factors include, but are not limited to, market data in order to estimate the likelihood, timing, term, and lease rates to be realized from potential subleases of restructured facilities held under operating leases. We also estimate costs associated with terminating certain leases on excess facilities. These estimates involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which may be beyond our control, and include: future real estate conditions and our ability to market and sublease excess facilities on terms acceptable to us, particularly in Newton, Massachusetts; Northern California; Bracknell, United Kingdom; Richardson, Texas; and Minneapolis, Minnesota; the financial condition of potential sub-lessees and their ability to meet the financial obligations throughout the term of any sublease agreement; and estimated costs associated with canceling or vacating such facility leases. At December 31, 2002, we estimated future sublease income and costs associated with terminating certain leases on excess facilities of $29.8 million in connection with restructured facilities held under operating leases. The impact of these estimated proceeds and costs are significant factors in determining the appropriateness of our restructuring accrual balance on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, and as such, may require adjustments to our restructuring accrual and operating results in future periods. At December 31, 2002, there

were no material changes in market conditions or assumptions used in the evaluation of our restructuring accruals when compared to factors evaluated at March 31, 2002. Accordingly, no adjustments were made to our restructuring accrual during the nine months ended December 31, 2002.

 

The commercial real estate markets where we have significant operating lease obligations may continue to experience weakening demand and excess capacity. Should these commercial real estate markets deteriorate further, we may not be able to find acceptable tenants at the rates or the timing that we used in estimating our restructuring accrual. Our Newton Massachusetts lease is our most significant lease obligation for approximately 350,000 square feet. Costs associated with a significant portion of the leased space in Newton were used in establishing our restructuring estimates.

 

Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets.    On April 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As a result of adopting this Standard, we no longer amortize goodwill, which had a net book value of $198.9 million at both December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, including $15.8 million in assembled workforce that was reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of the Standard. However, under SFAS No. 142 we will continue to amortize our other intangible assets with estimated useful lives.

 

SFAS No. 142 also requires us to perform a transitional impairment test by assessing the fair value and recoverability of our goodwill upon adoption and at least once a year prospectively. We performed our transitional impairment test upon adoption of this Standard, which did not result in an impairment of our goodwill. We currently operate in one business segment, the Software segment. When reviewing goodwill for impairment, SFAS No. 142 requires us to assess whether goodwill should be allocated to operating levels lower than our Software segment (termed “reporting units”) for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed for decision-making purposes. In addition, the reporting unit would have economic characteristics different than the economic characteristics of the other components of the Software segment. Currently, we do not have any reporting units lower than our Software segment that meet the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 142.

 

We intend to assess the fair value and recoverability of goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, unless facts and circumstances warrant a review of goodwill for impairment before that time, as stipulated under SFAS No. 142.

 

At September 30, 2002, we compared the unamortized capitalized cost of the developed technology associated with our fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire to its net realizable value. This analysis was performed under the guidance of SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. As a result of this analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $15.7 million for the developed technology asset. This charge represented the amount by which the carrying value of the developed technology asset exceeded its fair value, using the asset’s estimated net realizable value as the fair value.

 

As a result of the impairment of our developed technology asset, we also performed an impairment analysis on the trade name associated with our fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire. We performed our analysis under the guidance of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, initially comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the trade name to its carrying value. As a result of this analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.7 million for the trade name asset. This charge represented the amount by which the carrying value exceeded its fair value, estimated by calculating its discounted cash flows.

 

As a result of the impairment of the developed technology asset and trade name, we also performed an impairment analysis on our goodwill, and assessed the fair value and recoverability of the goodwill balance as of September 30, 2002. This analysis did not result in an impairment of our goodwill.

We will continue to evaluate whether any event has occurred that might indicate that the carrying value of an intangible asset is not recoverable. Changes in market conditions and other business indicators could give rise to factors that would require us to assess whether any of our intangible assets are impaired. Significant changes in demand for our products or changes in market conditions in the principal markets in which we sell our products, could adversely impact the carrying value of these assets. In particular, if there is a significant and other than temporary decline in the market value of our common stock, a decrease in the market value of a particular asset, or operating or cash flow losses combined with forecasted future losses, we could be required to record impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could adversely affect our financial results. In addition, should we develop and manage our business using discrete financial information for reporting units in the future, we may be required to allocate our goodwill balance to those reporting units, which may result in an impairment of part or all of our recorded goodwill.

 

Recent Developments

 

Subsequent to our press release issued on January 22, 2003 announcing our unaudited financial results for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002, information became available to us concerning facts and circumstances that, consistent with our policy of accounting for subsequent events, resulted in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to differ from the financial results for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002, in our January 22, 2003 press release. We reached a settlement with RLI Corporation whereby the outstanding claims of both parties were dismissed with prejudice. Accordingly, we have recorded the $2.5 million settlement in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002.

Net revenues were $82.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $9.3 million from the same period last year. Our net revenues increased to $251.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $249.1 million for the same period last year. These increases were primarily due to the successful launch of our new products and new versions of existing products, partially offset by the continued overall slowdowns in information technology and Web developer spending during the current year.

 

Our Software Tools products had net revenues of $67.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $55.0 million in net revenues from the same period last year. Our Software Tools contributed $203.8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $183.9 million for the same period last year. These increases were primarily due to the launch of new Software Tools products and new versions of existing Software Tools products, including our MX family of products and Macromedia Contribute.

 

These increases in net revenues from our Software Tools products during the three-and-nine month periods ended December 31, 2002 were partially offset by a decline in net revenues from our Server Software products,

primarily Macromedia ColdFusion MX. Server Software product revenues decreased slightly to $13.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $13.8 million for the same period last year and decreased to $39.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $48.3 million for the same period last year due to continued pricing pressures and a very competitive market environment, partially offset by releases of new versions of existing products during the current fiscal year.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, we released a number of new and upgraded products and intend to continue introducing new and upgraded products in the foreseeable future. Delays in the introduction of planned future product releases, or failure to achieve significant customer acceptance for these new products, may have a material adverse effect on our net revenues and consolidated results of operations in future periods.

North American net revenues increased slightly to $43.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $42.4 million for the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to the launch our new products and new versions of existing products in the North American region. North American net revenues decreased to $149.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $152.6 million for the same period last year. This decrease primarily resulted from lower information technology and Web developer spending due to the overall weak economy partially offset by the launch of new products and new versions of existing products.

 

International net revenues increased by $8.2 million to $39.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $30.9 million for the same period last year, and increased by $5.4 million to $101.9 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $96.5 million for the same period last year. These increases primarily resulted from the launch of new products and new versions of existing products, partially offset by the continued weakness in certain foreign economic environments (See “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations – Risks Associated With Our International Operations” for additional information).

 

Our products are sold primarily through distributors, VARs and OEMs. In particular, Ingram Micro accounted for approximately 30% of net revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002, and approximately 25% and 27% of net revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2001, respectively (See “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations — Dependence on Distributors” for additional information).

Cost of revenues includes cost of materials, royalties paid to third parties for the licensing of developed technology, costs incurred in providing training and technical support to customers and business partners, assembly and distribution, and costs to translate our software into various foreign languages. Costs of revenues were $8.2 million or 10% of net revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $11.5 million or 16% of net revenues for the same period last year. Cost of revenues decreased in absolute dollars and as a percentage of net revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the same period last year due to lower training and technical support costs, lower royalties paid to third parties for the licensing of developed technology, as well as lower material costs due in part to a greater percentage of net revenues derived from volume licenses which have lower material costs than traditional product sales.

 

Cost of revenues decreased to $26.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $32.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to lower product and training costs and lower royalties paid to third parties for the licensing of developed technology, partially offset by higher inventory obsolescence due to the launch of the MX product family.

 

In the near future, cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues may be impacted by various items, including but not limited to the mix of product sales, royalty rates for licensed technology, and the geographic distribution of sales.

 

Operating Expenses.

 

Our operating expenses consist primarily of normal recurring period charges that we classify on our condensed consolidated statements of operations as sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, these operating expenses also included non-recurring charges totaling $2.8 million related to the write-down of previously capitalized costs associated with our current Website infrastructure and certain compensation-related costs. Our other operating expense classifications include impairment and amortization of intangible assets, and restructuring expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits, advertising costs including co-marketing costs, mail order advertising, tradeshow and seminar expenses, and other marketing expenses, and allocated expenses for our facilities and information technology infrastructure. Sales and marketing expenses were $36.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $2.7 million from the $38.7 million of sales and marketing expenses incurred during the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to lower compensation related expenses related to our fiscal year 2002 restructuring efforts, as well as lower advertising expenses.

 

Sales and marketing expense decreased $24.4 million to $108.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $133.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to lower compensation and facility and information technology expenses resulting from our fiscal year 2002 restructuring efforts. Also contributing to the decline were reduced amortization expenses related to our Website infrastructure.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits as well as allocated expenses for our facilities and information technology infrastructure to support product development. Research and development expenses were $21.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $5.6 million from research and development expenses of $26.6 million recorded during the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation expenses and information technology expenses resulting from our fiscal year 2002 restructuring efforts.

 

Research and development expenses decreased $13.0 million to $71.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $84.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation expenses and information technology expenses resulting from our fiscal year 2002 restructuring efforts, as well as reduced amortization expenses relating to our Website infrastructure.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2002 we released new and upgraded products and intend to continue introducing new and upgraded products in future periods. We anticipate continuing to invest significant resources into research and development activities in order to develop new products, advance the technology in our existing products, and to develop new business opportunities.

General and administrative expenses consist mainly of compensation and benefits, fees for professional services and allocated expenses for our facilities and information technology infrastructure. General and administrative expenses were $7.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $2.5 million from general and administrative expenses of $10.2 million recorded during the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower professional service fees related to various legal matters settled during the three months ended December 31, 2002.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $4.7 million to $28.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $32.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower facility, information technology and compensation expenses resulting from our fiscal year 2002 restructuring efforts, as well as reduced amortization expenses relating to our Website infrastructure. We will continue to manage our general and administrative costs in line with the business environment in which we operate.

Impairment of intangible assets.

 

On April 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 requires us to perform a transitional impairment test by assessing the fair value and recoverability of our goodwill upon adoption and at least once a year prospectively. We performed our transitional impairment test upon adoption of this Standard, which did not result in an impairment of our goodwill. We currently operate in one business segment, the Software segment. When reviewing goodwill for impairment, SFAS No. 142 requires us to assess whether goodwill should be allocated to operating levels lower than our Software segment (termed “reporting units”) for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed for decision-making purposes. In addition, the reporting unit would have economic characteristics different than the economic characteristics of the other components of the Software segment. To date, we do not have any reporting units lower than our Software segment that meet the criteria set forth in SFAS No. 142.

 

We intend to assess the fair value and recoverability of our goodwill in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, unless facts and circumstances warrant a review of goodwill for impairment before that time, as stipulated under SFAS No. 142.

 

At September 30, 2002 we compared the unamortized capitalized cost of the developed technology asset associated with our fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire to its net realizable value. This analysis was performed under the guidance of SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed. As a result of this analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $15.7 million for the developed technology asset. This charge represented the amount by which the carrying value of the developed technology asset exceeded its fair value, using the asset’s net realizable value as the fair value.

 

As a result of the impairment of our developed technology asset, we also performed an impairment analysis on the trade name associated with our fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire. We performed our analysis under the guidance of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, initially comparing the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the trade name to its carrying value. As a result of this analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.7 million for the trade name asset. This charge represented the amount by which the carrying value exceeded its fair value, estimated by calculating its discounted cash flows.

 

As a result of the impairment of the developed technology asset and trade name, we also performed an impairment analysis on our goodwill, and assessed the fair value and recoverability of the goodwill as of September 30, 2002. This analysis did not result in an impairment of our goodwill.

 

We will continue to evaluate whether any event has occurred that might indicate that the carrying value of an intangible asset is not recoverable. Changes in market conditions and other business indicators could give rise to factors that would require us to assess whether any of our intangible assets are impaired. Significant changes in demand for our products or changes in market conditions in the principal markets in which we sell our products, could adversely impact the carrying value of these assets. In particular, if there is a significant and other than temporary decline in the market value of our common stock, a decrease in the market value of a particular asset, or operating or cash flow losses combined with forecasted future losses, we could be required to record impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could adversely affect our financial results. In addition, should we develop and manage our business using discrete financial information for reporting units in the future, we may be required to allocate our goodwill balance to those reporting units, which may result in an impairment of part or all of our recorded goodwill.

Amortization of intangible assets.

 

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, we no longer amortize goodwill, which had a net book value of $198.9 million at both December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, and includes $15.8 million in assembled workforce that was reclassified to goodwill upon adoption of this Standard. However, under SFAS No. 142 we will continue to amortize our other intangible assets with estimated useful lives.

 

The net book values of our intangible assets and their estimated remaining useful lives at December 31, 2002 are:

Amortization of intangible assets decreased by $28.1 million to $414,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $28.5 million for the same period last year, and decreased by $78.9 million to $7.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $86.0 million for the same period last year. These decreases are mainly due to our adoption of SFAS No. 142 on April 1, 2002 and the impairment of certain intangible assets during the nine months ended December 31, 2002.

Restructuring expenses.

 

In fiscal year 2002, we executed a restructuring plan to deliver cost synergies associated with our fiscal year 2001 acquisition of Allaire and to better align our cost structure with the weaker business environment.

 

The restructuring expenses recorded in fiscal year 2002 of $81.8 million consisted primarily of expenses for canceling or vacating facility operating leases as a result of staff reductions and changes in our business; demise and tenant improvement costs to sublease these facilities, net of deferred rent previously recorded by us; writing off the unamortized cost of abandoned fixed assets; employee termination and severance costs; and certain other costs. Our restructuring expenses and accruals involve significant estimates made by management using the best information available at a given point in time, some of which we have obtained and verified through third-party advisors. These estimates include: facility exit costs such as demise and lease termination costs; timing and market conditions of rental payments and estimated sublease income; and any fees associated with our restructuring expenses, such as brokerage fees.

At December 31, 2002, we had a restructuring liability balance of $34.0 million, primarily relating to the estimated future costs of 13 facilities to either cancel or vacate operating leases as well as estimated demise and tenant improvement costs to sublease these facilities, net of deferred rent and estimated sublease income. We expect to make future facility rent payments, net of sublease income, on our contractual lease obligations through the end of our obligation periods, which will be recorded as a reduction to our restructuring accrual. Cash payments made during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 primarily relate to lease payments on the restructured facilities. We will continue to assess the reasonableness of our accrual on a regular basis and may make adjustments to the accrual based on new information and estimates we obtain. Should facts and circumstances warrant adjustments to our restructuring accrual, our operating results would also be directly affected.

 

Details of the restructuring accrual balances, cash payments, and restructuring adjustments recorded during the current fiscal year are presented in the following table:

Interest income and other, net.

 

Interest income and other, net, was $949,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $1.0 million for the same period last year, and decreased to $2.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $5.5 million for the same period last year. Returns from interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments represent the majority of the activity for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The decline in our interest income and other, net for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2002 is primarily due to lower yields on our cash, cash equivalent, and short-term investment balances as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior fiscal year partially offset by higher average balances of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the current fiscal year.

 

Gain (loss) on non-marketable investments, net.

 

We have historically held certain non-marketable investments in certain companies that are accounted for on the cost-basis. Impairment losses are recognized on these investments when we determine that there has been a decline in the fair market value of the investment that is other than temporary. During the three months ended December 31, 2002, we received $602,000 in cash, resulting from a merger involving a non-marketable investee with a third party. We also received approximately 588,000 shares of Series B common stock in the acquiring company. In June 2001, we had previously written off this non-marketable investment in accordance with our accounting policy. Our management has determined the estimated fair value of the newly acquired shares received in the current period to be insignificant. Accordingly, no cost basis for this non-marketable investment was recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002. The cash received as a result of this merger was recorded as a gain on non-marketable investment during the three months ended December 31, 2002. During the first six months of fiscal year 2003, we also received funds totaling $53,000, representing our portion of the liquidated assets of another investee, which was also previously written off in accordance with our accounting policy. These gains were partially offset by impairment losses recorded in the first six months of fiscal year 2003 of $400,000, and accordingly, resulted in a net gain of $255,000 on non- marketable cost-basis investments for the nine months ended December 31, 2002. We did not have any

remaining non-marketable cost-basis investments recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002.

 

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, we also held common stock in two public companies that are accounted for as available-for-sale investments. During the first three months of fiscal year 2003, we wrote off one of these investments, which resulted in a charge of $403,000. The write off resulted from the severe and continued decline in the investee’s common stock price, viewed as other than temporary. At December 31, 2002, the net carrying value of our other available-for-sale investment was $45,000.

 

During the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2001, we recorded impairment losses on non-marketable cost-basis investments of $91,000 and $7.0 million, respectively. The impairment losses represented write offs or write downs of the carrying amount of these non-marketable cost-basis investments recorded in accordance with our accounting policy. These losses were partially offset by funds received of $291,000 and $630,000 during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2001, respectively, representing our portion of the liquidated assets of an investee previously written off.

 

Loss on equity affiliate.

 

We recorded losses from our equity affiliate, AtomShockwave, of $36.0 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2001. The charge reflected our share of AtomShockwave’s losses recorded in the period, as well as the write down of our investment and the write off of certain receivables in the prior fiscal year. Our investment balance in AtomShockwave since September 30, 2001 has been zero. Accordingly, we have not recognized our share of AtomShockwave’s losses since September 30, 2001, although we held approximately 35% of the outstanding voting shares of AtomShockwave at December 31, 2002.

 

Gain on sale of acquired technology.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a gain on the sale of acquired technology of $1.0 million. The net carrying value of the technology, which was previously acquired in connection with our acquisition of Andromedia, Inc. during fiscal year 2000, had already been fully amortized on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the date of sale. This gain represented the amount by which the proceeds received exceeded the net carrying value of this asset. This gain was reported as a component of other income (expense) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, as the transaction that resulted in the gain was not considered a component of our normal and on-going core business activities.

 

Litigation settlements.

 

We entered into a settlement agreement with Adobe Systems Incorporated (“Adobe”) on July 29, 2002, whereby the outstanding patent claims between Adobe and Macromedia were dismissed with prejudice. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 reflects the reversal of the $2.8 million in damages originally awarded by the courts to Adobe and previously recorded as an accrued liability at March 31, 2002.

 

In fiscal year 2002, we entered into a final judgment and settlement dismissing a complaint entitled Rosen et al. v. Macromedia, Inc. (“Rosen”). Under the settlement, the claims against us and all other defendants in the Rosen case and related state and federal cases were resolved without presumption or admission of any liability or wrongdoing. The settlement amount was $48.0 million, of which, $19.5 million was paid by insurance, net of reimbursable legal fees, and subject to a reservation by RLI Corporation (“RLI”), one of the our excess insurers,

to seek reimbursement of its $5.0 million settlement contribution. In March 2002, RLI filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against us and several of our present and former officers and directors for reimbursement of the $5.0 million settlement contribution made by RLI toward the settlement of Rosen (the “RLI Claim”). The complaint alleges that California Insurance Code Section 533 bars insurance coverage by the underlying settlement. We disputed such allegations, and filed counterclaims for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (the “Macromedia Counterclaims”). In February 2003, Macromedia and RLI reached a settlement with respect to the RLI Claim and the Macromedia Counterclaims, pursuant to which Macromedia and RLI will dismiss with prejudice the Macromedia Counterclaims and the RLI Claim, respectively, and we will reimburse RLI $2.5 million of the $5.0 million settlement contribution made by RLI toward the settlement of Rosen. We have recorded the $2.5 million settlement in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002.

 

Provision for income taxes.

 

We recorded income tax provisions of $1.1 million and $2.3 million for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002. During the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2001, we recorded tax provisions of $2.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. We record a provision due to taxable income earned in certain foreign jurisdictions where we operate even though we may have recorded a net loss for the period in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

At December 31, 2002, we had available federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $514.0 million and $422.0 million, respectively. We also had unused research credit carryforwards of $31.0 million and $24.0 million for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, federal and state net operating loss and federal research credit carryforwards will expire through 2023. The California research credits may be carried forward indefinitely.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2002, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $207.4 million, a 28% increase from the March 31, 2002 balance of $162.0 million. Working capital increased to $161.0 million at December 31, 2002, a 38% increase from the March 31, 2002 balance of $116.9 million.

 

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 was $32.8 million, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $39.2 million during the same period last year. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002 cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from adjusting our net loss for: non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $21.0 million; impairment of long-lived assets of $19.0 million, primarily resulting from a $17.3 million impairment of our developed technology intangible asset and a $1.7 million write-down of internally developed software previously capitalized; and, net increases in other operating assets and liabilities of $2.7 million, including payments recorded against our restructuring accrual. Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 of $39.2 million primarily resulted from our net loss of $225.4 million, offset by adjustments for non-cash charges, primarily depreciation and amortization, loss on equity affiliate, and changes in other operating assets and liabilities.

 

Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 was $44.1 million, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $11.2 million during the same period last year. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to net maturities and sales of available-for-sale short-term investments of $43.2 million partially offset by capital expenditures of $4.8

million. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 resulted from net purchases of available-for-sale short-term investments, and capital expenditures, partially offset by proceeds from our sale-leaseback transaction. We anticipate spending $1.0 million to $2.0 million on capital expenditures during the remainder of the current fiscal year.

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 was $11.9 million, as compared to $16.1 million during the same period last year. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was due to proceeds received from the exercise of common stock options. Our liquidity and capital resources in any period could be impacted by the exercise of outstanding common stock options and cash proceeds upon exercise of these securities and securities reserved for future issuance under our stock option plans.

 

We expect that our operating expenses will constitute a significant use of our cash balances, but that our cash from operations and existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for the foreseeable future. Cash from operations could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those related to: the economic conditions in the domestic and international markets where we market and sell our products; customer acceptance of new products and services and new versions of existing products; the risk associated with changing our prices or business model; this risk of delay in product development and release dates; our dependence on our distributors; risks of product returns; quarterly fluctuations of operating results; risks associated with investment in international sales operations; the risk of integrating newly acquired technologies and products; the impact of competition; and the other risks detailed in the section “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations”.

 

At times, we may require additional liquid capital resources and may seek to raise these additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. There can be no assurance that this additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on reasonable terms and not dilutive to our stockholders. If additional funds are required at a future date and are not available on acceptable terms, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

 

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce economic exposure associated with revenues, operating expenses, and asset balances primarily denominated in the Euro, Japanese Yen, and British Pound. At December 31, 2002, the net notional amount of forward contracts outstanding amounted to $31.6 million, related to the Euro, Japanese Yen, and British Pound (see “Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for additional information).

 

Commitments.

 

Our principal commitments at December 31, 2002 consisted of obligations under operating leases for facilities, technology license agreements, and letter of credit arrangements.

 

Leases — We lease office space and certain equipment under operating leases. In addition, we sublease certain office space that we do not expect to occupy prior to lease termination.

 

Technology licenses — We have entered into license agreements with third parties whose products or technologies are embedded in our software products. These license agreements generally provide for royalty payments on a fixed or per-unit basis.

 

We anticipate fulfilling our obligations under these commitments through our existing working capital. A more detailed discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about our commitments is set forth in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

 

 

Letters of credit and restricted cash — We held letters of credit from financial institutions totaling $12.3 million and $12.7 million at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively, in lieu of security deposits for leased office space. No amounts have been drawn against the letters of credit. We pledged as security in trust for certain of the letters of credit $10.9 million and $11.4 million of cash at December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively. These funds were invested in a certificate of deposit and are classified as non-current restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 

As of December 31, 2002, there were stock-based awards outstanding in connection with the following plans (the “Macromedia Plans”):

 

  (i)   Macromedia, Inc. 1992 Equity Incentive Plan (“1992 EIP”)

 

  (ii)   Macromedia, Inc. 1993 Directors Stock Option Plan

 

  (iii)   Allaire Corporation 1997 Stock Incentive Plan

 

  (iv)   Allaire Corporation 1998 Stock Incentive Plan

 

  (v)   Andromedia, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan

 

  (vi)   Macromedia, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan

 

  (vii)   Allaire Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan

 

  (viii) Macromedia, Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2001 ESPP”)

 

  (ix)   Macromedia, Inc. 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (“2002 EIP”)

 

The options outstanding under the plans indicated at (iii), (iv), (v), and (vii) (the “Prior Plans”) above were assumed by us as a result of merger activities. We assumed certain options granted to former employees of the acquired companies (the “Acquired Options”) under these plans. All of the Acquired Options have been adjusted to give effect to the respective conversion terms between us and the companies acquired.

 

The 1992 EIP expired on September 23, 2002, and as such, no new types of stock-based awards will be granted in connection with this Plan. Options to purchase 9.4 million shares of common stock remain unexercised pursuant to this plan at December 31, 2002. These options will expire in accordance with the terms set forth in individual option agreements. Any option or purchase rights under this plan that becomes unexercisable, without having been exercised in full, shall not become available for future grants or sales.

 

Under the 1993 Directors Stock Option Plan and 1999 Stock Option Plan, there are 515,000 and 3.6 million shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of stock-based awards at December 31, 2002. The 1993 Directors Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of non-qualified stock option awards to our directors. The 1999 Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of these non-qualified stock option awards to our directors, employees and consultants.

 

Under the Allaire 1997, 1998, and 2000 Stock Incentive Plans, there are 3.8 million shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of stock-based awards at December 31, 2002. The Plans provide for the granting of incentive and non-qualified stock options and stock bonus awards to our directors, employees, and consultants.

 

Under the Andromedia 1999 Stock Option Plan, there are 405,000 shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of stock-based awards at December 31, 2002. The Plan provides for the grant of several types of stock-based awards including, incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and stock bonuses and purchase rights, to our directors, employees and consultants.

In fiscal year 2002, we adopted the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2001 ESPP”). All remaining available shares under the 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were transferred to the 2001 ESPP. Under the 2001 ESPP, 1.8 million shares of common stock are reserved for issuance at December 31, 2002. Pursuant to this Plan, and subject to certain limitations, employees may purchase, through payroll deductions of 2% to 15% of eligible compensation, shares of common stock at a price per share that is the lesser of 85% of the fair market value as of the beginning of the offering period or the end of the purchase period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, we issued 480,000 shares of common stock under this Plan at a price of $5.60 per share.

 

Under the 2002 EIP, which was adopted in fiscal year 2003, there are 2.0 million shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of stock-based awards at December 31, 2002. The Plan provides for the grant of several types of stock-based awards, including incentive and non-qualified stock options, and restricted stock awards to our directors, employees and consultants.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, we granted non-plan stock options to purchase shares of our common stock to our executives. The stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the grant date and have terms similar to options granted under the Company’s stock option plans.

 

Stock options under the Macromedia Plans are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the time of the grant and typically vest over four years from the date of grant. The stock options expire ten years from the date of grant and are normally cancelled three months after an employee’s termination. Any option that becomes unexercisable under the Macromedia Plans, excluding the 1992 EIP, without having been exercised in full, shall become available for future grant or sale under the respective plan.

Pro Forma Results

 

Our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, we also report our quarterly and annual financial results on a non-GAAP, or pro forma, basis to the investing public. We believe our pro forma results have value in assessing our financial performance. Our pro forma results exclude certain non-cash and unusual items, allowing us to isolate our financial results to certain core functions of our operations. In January 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules requiring that any public disclosure or release of a “non-GAAP financial measure” by a public company be presented in a manner that (1) does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the “non-GAAP financial measure”, in light of the circumstances under which it is presented, not misleading; and (2) reconciles the “non-GAAP financial measure” presented with the financial condition and results of operations of the company under GAAP. We believe that our presentation of “non-GAAP financial measures” complies with these rules.

 

Although we deem them to be meaningful, pro forma results do not necessarily provide a comprehensive reflection of our condensed consolidated operating results or financial position in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our pro forma results may include different adjustments than those employed by other companies, and therefore, comparisons of other companies’ pro forma results may not be meaningful. As a result, we strongly encourage all of our current and prospective investors to carefully read and review our consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our unaudited Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The following tables reconcile our GAAP operating results to results on a pro forma basis for the three-and-nine month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001:

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 146 for any restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 146 may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation —Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 148 for our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, and in interim reporting periods thereafter. We believe that the adoption of the provision of SFAS No. 148 will not have a materially adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

RISK FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Except for the historical information contained in this Quarterly Report, the matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed below, and from time to time in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The actual results that we achieve may differ significantly from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties.

 

General economic conditions — In recent periods, our operating results have been adversely affected by the general economic slowdown as well as reduced information technology and Web developer spending worldwide. The cost-cutting initiatives implemented by some of the users of our products and services may reduce or stagnate the demand for our products, including our new product or version releases, until the economic conditions significantly improve. In addition, any future general developments that may cause instability in the economy, including, but not limited to, material military engagements, war, and increases in fuel prices, may prolong cost-cutting initiatives and deter material increases in spending from our customers.

 

In addition, a substantial portion of our business and revenues depend on the continued growth of the Internet and on the utilization of our products by customers that depend on the growth of the Internet. To the extent the economic slowdown and reduction in capital spending continue to adversely affect spending, we could continue to experience material adverse effects on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Our new product and version releases may not be successful — A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from license sales of new products, as well as sales to existing licensees. The success of new products and new versions of existing products, including our new MX family of products, depends on the timing, market acceptance, and performance of such new product or new version releases. In the past we have experienced delays in the development of new products and enhancement of existing products and such delays may occur in the future. If we are unable, due to resource constraints or technological reasons, to develop and introduce products in a timely manner, such inability could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations,

 

33


Table of Contents

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

 

including, in particular, our quarterly results. In addition, market acceptance of our new product or new version releases will be dependent on our ability to include functionalities and usability in such releases that address the requirements of the user base. We must update our existing products, services and content to keep them current with changing technology, competitive offerings and consumer preferences and must develop new products, services and content to take advantage of new technologies that could otherwise render our existing products, or existing versions of such products, obsolete. Furthermore, our new product or version releases may contain undetected errors or “bugs”, which may result in product failures or security breaches or otherwise fail to perform in accordance with customer expectations. In addition, such releases may not properly guard against harmful or disruptive codes, including “virus” codes, which may target files or programs created using our products. The occurrence of errors or harmful codes could result in loss of market share, diversion of development resources, injury to our reputation, or damage to our efforts to build positive brand awareness, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. If we do not ship new products or new versions of our existing products as planned, if new product or version releases do not achieve market acceptance, or if new products or version releases fail to perform properly, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our future operating results are difficult to predict and our future operating results and our stock price are subject to volatility — As a result of a variety of factors discussed herein, operating results for a particular period are extremely difficult to predict. Our revenues may grow at a slower rate than experienced in previous periods and, in particular periods, may decline. Our efforts to reduce our expenses may hinder our ability to achieve growth in our business and revenues. Any shortfall in revenues or results of operations from levels expected by securities analysts, general decline in economic conditions, or significant reductions in spending by our customers, could have an immediate and materially adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock in any given period. In addition to factors specific to us, changes in analysts’ earnings estimates for us or our industry and factors affecting the corporate environment, our industry, or the securities markets in general will often result in significant volatility of our common stock price.

 

Risks associated with our international operations — International revenues accounted for approximately 40% of our consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. We expect that international sales will continue to represent a significant percentage of our revenues. We rely primarily on third parties, including distributors, for sales and support of our software products in foreign countries and, accordingly, are dependent on their ability to promote and support our software products, and in some cases, to translate them into foreign languages. In addition, we have, and may continue to, outsource specific development and quality assurance testing activities for certain of our software products to various foreign, independent third-party contractors. International business and operations are subject to a number of special risks, including:

 

    foreign government regulation,

 

    reduced intellectual property protections,

 

    general geopolitical risks such as political and economic instability, hostilities with neighboring countries, and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships,

 

    more prevalent software piracy,

 

    unexpected changes in, or imposition of, regulatory requirements, tariffs, import and export restrictions, and other barriers and restrictions,

 

    longer payment cycles,

 

    greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivables,

 

    potentially adverse tax consequences,

 

34


Table of Contents

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

 

 

    the burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws,

 

    foreign currency risk, and

 

    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations.

 

Additionally, we are uncertain whether the recent weaknesses experienced in foreign economies will continue in the foreseeable future due to, among other things, possible currency devaluation, liquidity problems, and political and military hostilities in these regions.

 

Furthermore, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce economic exposure associated with sales and asset balances denominated in the Euro, Japanese Yen, and British Pound. At December 31, 2002, the notional amount of forward contracts outstanding amounted to $31.6 million, primarily related to the Euro, Japanese Yen, and British Pound. There can be no assurance that such contracts will adequately manage our exposure to currency fluctuations.

 

Changing our pricing and business model could adversely affect our business — We periodically make changes to our product pricing or offer alternative methods of licensing our product, based on market conditions, customer demands, or in connection with marketing activities. For example, we recently increased the unit price of Macromedia Studio MX following the expiration of the introductory price period. Such increases in pricing of our products may cause our customers to seek lower-priced alternatives, decrease the aggregate demand for such products and have an adverse effect on our operating results. In addition, competition in our various markets may require us to reduce prices on certain products in such markets. In the event that we are required to reduce the pricing of our products, we may not be able to offset the lower unit price with increased demand for the corresponding products. Furthermore, any changes in pricing of products in general may result in delays in transactions as our customers and our sales force adapt to such price changes and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Moreover, customer demand and competition in the market may require us to offer alternative methods of licensing our products. In the event that we offer alternative methods of licensing our products, the revenues generated from licenses based on such alternative methods may not offset the loss of revenues from our existing method of licensing our products in any given period and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Dependence on third party manufacturer, service providers and developers — We rely primarily on a single independent third party to assemble and distribute our products. If there is a temporary or permanent disruption of our supply from such manufacturer, we may not be able to replace the supply in sufficient time to meet the demand for our products. Any such failure to meet the demand for our products would adversely affect our revenues and might cause some users to purchase licenses to our competitors’ products to meet their requirements.

 

In addition, we rely on a limited number of independent third parties to provide support services to our customers. If any of such third party service providers terminates its relationship with us or ceases to be able to continue to maintain such relationship with us, we may not have sufficient notice or time to avoid serious disruption to our business. Furthermore, if any such third party service providers fail to provide adequate or satisfactory support for our products, our reputation as well as the success of our products may be adversely affected.

 

Moreover, we have, and may continue to, outsource specific development and quality assurance activities for certain of our products. If such third-party developers are not able to complete the development activities on time, the release of the corresponding new product or a new version may be delayed. In addition, since we are unable to control the development activities outsourced by us to third parties, the portions of our product developed by such third parties may contain significant errors or “bugs”.

We are dependent on our distributors — A substantial majority of our revenues are derived from the sale of our software products through a variety of distribution channels, including traditional software distributors, mail order, educational distributors, VARs, OEMs, hardware and software superstores, and retail dealers. Domestically, our products are sold primarily through distributors, VARs, and OEMs. One distributor, Ingram Micro Inc., accounted for approximately 30% of our consolidated net revenues for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002. The loss of a relationship with, or a significant reduction in sales volume to, a significant distributor or reseller, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

In addition, while our products are distributed through different levels of distribution channels, we maintain direct contractual relationships with primarily the first-tier distributors, generally relying on such distributors to manage the relationship with second-tier distributors and resellers with respect to the distribution, marketing, and promotion of our licenses. Although we receive periodic reports from most of the distributors and resellers of our products, our reliance on our first-tier distributors to assist us in managing the lower level distribution channels limits our ability to (i) anticipate and respond to excess inventory levels of, or change in demand for, our products by lower-tier distributors or resellers, (ii) directly manage the marketing or promotion of our products by such lower-tier distributors or resellers and (iii) monitor the adequacy of training received with respect to our products by employees of such lower-tier distributors or resellers. Therefore, if our first-tier distributors are unable to continue to effectively assist us in managing the lower-tier distribution channels, the demand for, and reputation of, our products may decrease and our operations and our financial results may be materially and adversely effected.

 

Product returns could exceed our estimates and harm our net revenues — The primary sales channels into which we sell our products throughout the world are a network of distributors and value added resellers. Agreements with our distributors and value added resellers contain specific product return privileges for stock rotation and obsolete products. In general, we would expect sales returns to increase following the announcement of new or upgraded versions of our products or in anticipation of such product announcements, as our distributors and resellers seek to reduce their inventory levels of the prior version of a product in advance of receiving the new version. Similarly, we would expect that product inventory held by our distributors and resellers would increase following the successful introduction of new or upgraded products, as these resellers stock the new version in anticipation of end-user demand, which would result in a decrease in our allowance for sales returns. As part of our revenue recognition practices, we have established a reserve for estimated sales returns. These reserves are based on a number of factors, including channel inventory levels and the timing of new product introductions. If actual product returns exceed our reserve estimates, such excess would have an adverse effect on our net revenues and our results of operation.

 

System failure related to our Websites could harm our business — We rely, in part, on our Websites as a portal for marketing, selling, and supporting our products. Substantially all of the system hardware for deploying and maintaining our Websites are hosted by a third party. These systems are subject to damage from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures and similar events. They are also subject to acts of vandalism and to potential disruption if our third party service provider experiences financial difficulties. Any event that causes interruption in the deployment of our Websites could result in disruption in the services we provide, loss of revenues or damage to our reputation.

 

Risk associated with acquisitions — We have entered into business combinations with other companies in the past, including our acquisition of Allaire in fiscal year 2001, and may make additional acquisitions in the future. Acquisitions generally involve significant risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, services, technologies, and corporate culture of the acquired companies, diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, overvaluation of the acquired companies, and the acceptance of the acquired

companies’ products and services by our customers. In addition, future acquisitions would likely result in dilution to existing stockholders, if stock or stock options are issued, or debt and contingent liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. Accordingly, any future acquisitions could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

We face intense competition — The markets for all of our product lines are highly competitive. A number of companies currently offer products and services that compete directly or indirectly with one or more of our products. Our development tools compete directly and indirectly with products from major vendors including Microsoft Corporation, International Business Machines Corp., and Adobe. Our server products compete in a highly competitive and rapidly changing market for application server technologies. With respect to our server products, we compete directly with Microsoft Corporation, International Business Machines Corp., BEA Systems, Inc., and Sun Microsystems, Inc. Introduction of new products or functionalities in current products by us or by another company may intensify our current competitive pressures. In addition, several of our current and potential competitors have greater financial, marketing, technical, and intellectual property resources than we do.

 

Furthermore, we have a number of strategic alliances with large and complex organizations, some of which may compete with us in certain markets. These arrangements are generally limited to specific projects, the goal of which is generally to facilitate product compatibility. If successful, these relationships may be mutually beneficial. However, these alliances carry an element of risk because, in most cases, we must compete in some business areas with a company with which we have a strategic alliance and, at the same time, cooperate with that company in other business areas. Also, if these companies fail to perform or if these relationships fail to materialize as expected, we could suffer delays in product development or fail to realize the anticipated economic benefit.

 

We may not be able to defend or enforce our intellectual property rights adequately — Because we are a software company, our business is dependent on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws, as well as employee and third party nondisclosure agreements and license agreements, to protect our intellectual property rights and products. Policing unauthorized use of products and fully protecting our proprietary rights are difficult, and we cannot guarantee that the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights will be adequate. In addition, effective patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark protection may not be available in every country in which our products are distributed. In particular, while we are unable to determine the exact extent of piracy of our software products, software piracy may depress our revenues. While this would also adversely affect domestic revenue, revenue loss from piracy of our software products is believed to be even more significant outside of the United States, particularly in countries where laws are less protective of intellectual property rights.

 

We are subject to intellectual property litigation — We are currently, and may be involved in legal disputes relating to the validity or alleged infringement of our, or of a third party’s, intellectual property rights. Intellectual property litigation is typically extremely costly, unpredictable, and can be disruptive to our business operations by diverting the attention and energies of our management and key technical personnel. In addition, any adverse decisions, including injunctions or damage awards entered against us, could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses from others, prevent us from manufacturing or licensing certain of our products, or cause severe disruptions to our operations or the markets in which we compete, any one of which could dramatically impact our business and results of operations.

 

We may not be able to attract or retain key personnel — Our future growth and success depend, in part, on the continued service of our highly skilled employees, including, but not limited to, our management team. Our ability to attract and retain employees is dependent on a number of factors, including our continued ability to

 

37


Table of Contents

MACROMEDIA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

 

provide stock incentive awards, competitive cash compensation, and cash bonuses. The loss of key employees or an inability to effectively recruit new employees, as needed, could have a material adverse affect on our business and our ability to grow in the future.

 

Future impairment assessments on certain intangible assets may result in additional impairment charges — On April 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Accordingly, our goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are no longer amortized but instead reviewed at least annually for impairment. Significant changes in demand for our products or changes in market conditions in the principal markets in which we sell our products, could adversely impact the carrying value of these intangible assets. In particular, if there is (1) a significant and other than temporary decline in the market value of our common stock, (2) a decrease in the market value of a particular asset, and (3) operating or cash flow losses combined with forecasted future losses, we could be required to record impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could adversely affect our financial results. In addition, should we develop and manage our business using discrete financial information for reporting units in the future, we may be required to allocate our goodwill balance to those reporting units, which may result in an impairment of part or all of our recorded goodwill.

 

Adverse economic conditions may affect our ability to sublease vacated portions of properties held under sublease — In fiscal year 2002, we executed a restructuring plan to deliver cost synergies associated with our prior acquisitions and to better align our cost structure with the weaker business environment. During fiscal year 2002, our restructuring expenses included, among others, costs related to canceling or vacating approximately 450,000 square feet of facility space held under our operating leases. We currently lease 299,000 square feet of space in San Francisco, under operating leases which expire between July 2004 and June 2010, of which 109,000 square feet of space is not currently occupied by us and is currently subleased or being marketed for sublease. Furthermore, we lease 348,000 square feet of space in Newton, Massachusetts, which expires in June 2010, of which 262,000 square feet is currently subleased or being marketed for sublease. We also lease 55,000 square feet at a facility in Richardson, Texas, of which 27,000 square feet is currently being marketed for sublease. Our restructuring expenses and accruals involved significant estimates made by management using the best information available at the time that the estimates were made, some of which we have obtained and verified through third-party advisors. These estimates include, among others, timing and market conditions of rental payments and sublease income. Any future reductions in operations, including staff reductions, may result in us vacating additional portions of properties held under operating leases prior to the expiration of the corresponding lease agreements. The general adverse economic conditions in the areas in which we have significant leased properties have resulted in a surplus of business facilities making it difficult to sublease properties. If the adverse economic and real estate conditions continue, or if we are unable to successfully market and sublease excess facilities on terms acceptable to us, we may be unable to sublease our excess leased properties, or we may not meet our expected estimated levels of subleasing income, and our results of operations could be negatively affected.

 

Changes in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) may affect our reported results — We prepare our financial statements in conformity with GAAP. GAAP is subject to interpretation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and various bodies formed to interpret and create appropriate accounting policies. A change in these policies can have a significant effect on our reported results, and may affect the reporting of transactions completed prior to the announcement of a change. In order to prepare our GAAP financial statements, a number of estimates are used by our management, particularly with regard to our restructuring plans, amortization of intangible assets, and the impact of product returns from our distributors and VARs when determining license revenues to be recognized. Our management uses the best available information at the time to create estimates, however, actual future results may vary from these estimates. It is our policy to prospectively adjust estimates when actual results or better information becomes available.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rates

 

We invest our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments in a variety of financial instruments, consisting primarily of U.S. Dollar-denominated commercial paper, interest-bearing bank accounts with financial institutions, money market funds, and highly liquid debt securities of corporations, municipalities, and the U.S. Government and its agencies. Cash balances in foreign currencies overseas are primarily invested in interest-bearing bank accounts with financial institutions.

 

We account for our short-term investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Cash equivalents and all of our short-term investments are recorded as “available-for-sale”. Where the original maturity is greater than one year, the securities are classified as short-term as it is our intention to convert them into cash for operations as needed.

 

Cash equivalents and short-term investments include both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments, which carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. We mitigate our interest rate risk by investing in instruments with short maturities. We ensure the safety and preservation of our invested funds by placing these investments with high credit-quality issuers. We maintain portfolio liquidity by ensuring that underlying investments have active secondary or resale markets.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

Our international operations are subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic conditions; changes in political climate; differing tax structures; other regulations and restrictions; and foreign exchange volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially impacted by changes in these or other factors.

 

Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arises from the sale of products internationally in foreign currencies, and from expenses in foreign currencies to support those sales. We have a risk management program to reduce the effect of foreign exchange transaction gains and losses from recorded foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. This program involves the use of foreign exchange forward contracts in certain currencies, primarily the Euro, Japanese Yen, and British Pound. A foreign exchange forward contract obligates us to exchange predetermined amounts of specified foreign currencies at specified exchange rates on specified dates. Under this program, increases or decreases in our foreign currency transactions are partially offset by gains and losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts, so as to mitigate the income statement impact of significant foreign currency exchange rate movements. We do not use foreign exchange forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.

 

We sell our products internationally in U.S. Dollars and certain foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, Japanese Yen, and British Pound. We regularly enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to offset the impact of currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency revenues and operating expenses as well as subsequent receivables and payables. Management’s strategy is to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Effective February 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Upon

adoption, we did not designate any foreign exchange forward contracts as SFAS No. 133 hedges and did not record any transition adjustments.

 

Cash Flow Hedging.    In fiscal year 2003, we began designating and documenting foreign exchange forward contracts related to forecasted transactions as cash flow hedges, and as a result, we began applying hedge accounting for these contracts. The critical terms of the foreign exchange forward contracts and the underlying transactions are matched at inception, and forward contract effectiveness is calculated, at least quarterly, by comparing the change in the fair value of the contracts to the change in fair value of the forecasted revenues or expenses, with the effective portion of the fair value of the hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). We record any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments in other income (expense) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, which was immaterial for the three-and-nine month periods ended December 31, 2002. When the underlying forecasted transactions occur and impact earnings, the related gain or loss on the cash flow hedge is reclassified to net revenues or expenses. In the event it becomes probable that the forecasted transactions will not occur, the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedges would be reclassified from AOCI to other income (expense) at that time. All values reported in AOCI at December 31, 2002 will be reclassified to earnings in eight months or less. At December 31, 2002, the outstanding cash flow hedging derivatives had maturities of twelve months or less.

 

Balance Sheet Hedging.    We manage our foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities using foreign exchange forward contracts. These derivative instruments are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in other income (expense). These derivative instruments substantially offset the remeasurement gains and losses recorded on identified foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2002, our outstanding balance sheet hedging derivatives had maturities of twelve months or less.

 

Our outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts at December 31, 2002 are presented in the table below. This table presents the net notional amount in U.S. Dollars using the spot exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2002 and the weighted average forward rates. Weighted average forward rates are quoted using market conventions. All of these forward contracts mature in twelve months or less.

financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

 

On and after September 25, 2000, Allaire Corporation (“Allaire”), prior to its merger with Macromedia, and certain of Allaire’s officers and directors were named as defendants in several putative class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, each alleging violations of the federal securities laws. On December 5, 2000, the Court consolidated the lawsuits under the caption In re: Allaire Corporation Securities Litig., No. 00-CV-11972 (WGY) (“Class Action”), and appointed lead plaintiffs and counsel for the putative class. On February 23, 2001, the lead plaintiffs, on behalf of a putative class defined as those who purchased Allaire stock between January 26, 2000, and September 18, 2000, filed a Corrected Consolidated Class Action Complaint alleging that Allaire, Joseph J. Allaire, Jeremy Allaire, David A. Gerth, and David J. Orfao, violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, and are seeking damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Class Action. On September 25, 2001, the Court ruled that the complaint in the Class Action did not comply with the pleading standards imposed by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and permitted plaintiffs to file an amended complaint in accordance with specific requirements imposed by the Court. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on November 30, 2001, which asserted similar claims on behalf of a putative class of stockholders who purchased Allaire stock between December 7, 1999 and September 18, 2000. On June 19, 2002 the Court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court has set the trial date for the Class Action to commence in November 2003. The parties have commenced discovery on this matter. Although the Class Action is in its early stage and we are not able to predict the outcome of the litigation at this time, we intend to defend this claim vigorously.

 

On April 11, 2001, Allaire, after it was merged into Macromedia, Joseph J. Allaire, Jeremy Allaire, David A. Gerth, and David J. Orfao were named as defendants in an additional lawsuit alleging violations of the federal securities laws that also was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Kassin v. Allaire Corporation, et al., No. 01-10600-WGY (“Kassin”). The complaint in Kassin, filed on behalf of an individual, alleges substantially the same violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as have been asserted in the Class Action, and additional claims for common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation. On May 11, 2001, the Court consolidated the Class Action and Kassin for purposes of briefing and oral argument on the defendants’ motions to dismiss. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss Kassin. On September 25, 2001, the Court consolidated Kassin with the Class Action, and the plaintiff’s claims in Kassin have been included in the amended complaint for the Class Action. As with the Class Action, Kassin is in its early stage and we are not able to predict the outcome of the litigation at this time. We intend to defend this claim vigorously.

 

In fiscal year 2002, we entered into a final judgment and settlement dismissing a complaint entitled Rosen et al. v. Macromedia, Inc. (“Rosen”). Under the settlement, the claims against Macromedia and all other defendants

in the Rosen case and related state and federal cases were resolved without presumption or admission of any liability or wrongdoing. The settlement amount was $48.0 million, of which, approximately $19.5 million was paid by insurance, net of reimbursable legal fees, and subject to a reservation of rights by RLI Corporation (“RLI”), one of the Company’s excess insurers, to seek reimbursement of its $5.0 million settlement contribution. On March 7, 2002, RLI filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Macromedia and several of its present and former officers and directors for reimbursement of the $5.0 million settlement contribution made by RLI toward the settlement of Rosen (the “RLI Claim”). The complaint alleges that California Insurance Code Section 533 bars insurance coverage for the underlying settlement. Macromedia disputed such allegations, and filed counterclaims for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing (the “Macromedia Counterclaims”). In February 2003, Macromedia and RLI reached a settlement with respect to the RLI Claim and the Macromedia Counterclaims, pursuant to which Macromedia and RLI will dismiss with prejudice the Macromedia Counterclaims and the RLI Claim, respectively, and Macromedia will reimburse RLI $2.5 million of the $5.0 million settlement contribution made by RLI toward the settlement of Rosen. We recorded the $2.5 million settlement in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-and-nine months ended December 31, 2002.
