Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This footnote should be read in conjunction with the complete description of our significant accounting policies under Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Cost of Services

Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization expense of $6,852 and $7,460 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and $20,497 and $21,278 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Advertising Costs

We incurred advertising costs included in sales and marketing of $11,423 and $18,765 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and $43,760 and $55,723 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Engineering and Development Expenses

Engineering and development expenses primarily include personnel and related costs for developers responsible for new products, and software engineers maintaining and enhancing existing products. Research and development costs related to new product development included in engineering and development were $5,662 and $6,234 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and $17,357 and $16,544 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Restructuring Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $4 million of costs associated with restructuring activities included in general and administrative expense and is primarily comprised of costs associated with severance and other employee related costs. As of September 30, 2017, $1.2 million remained accrued related to restructuring activities and $2.8 million was paid during the third quarter of 2017.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires the Company to record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value unless they qualify for a normal purchase or normal sale exception. Changes in the fair value of non-hedge derivatives are immediately recognized into earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives accounted for as hedges, if elected for hedge accounting, are either recognized in earnings as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the related hedged assets and liabilities or deferred and recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") until the hedged transactions occur and are recognized in earnings.

Beginning the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company entered into three interest rate swaps used to mitigate variability in earnings due to fluctuations in interest rates. Each swap has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedges. At the inception of the forward contract, the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributed to the hedged risk. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness under the critical terms matched method at inception and at least quarterly through the life of the hedging relationship. If the critical terms of the interest rate swap match the terms of the forecasted transaction, the Company concludes that the hedge is effective.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company records certain of its financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company's financial instruments, which includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. The carrying amounts of our capital leases approximate fair value of these obligations based upon management’s best estimates of interest rates that would be available for similar debt obligations at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. We believe the fair value of our debt at September 30, 2017 was approximately the same as its carrying amount as market conditions, including available interest rates, credit spread relative to our credit rating, and illiquidity, remain relatively unchanged from the issuance date of our debt on June 3, 2016 for a similar debt instrument.

(Unaudited)

We account for financial assets using a framework that establishes a hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of the inputs, or assumptions, we use in the determination of fair value, and we classify financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1 Measurements - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2 Measurements - observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data; and

•Level 3 Measurements - unobservable inputs when there is little or no market data available, thereby requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis classified under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging". The ASU improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and simplifies the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). It also amends the disclosures requirements by requiring a tabular disclosure related to the effect on the incomes statement of fair value and cash flow hedges and eliminating the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of hedging instrument disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period after issuance of this ASU. We do not expect a material impact of adopting ASU 2017-12 on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other". The ASU simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This ASU is effective for an annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes". This ASU improves the accounting for income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-16 on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows". This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases". This ASU increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The adoption of this ASU will increase our assets and liabilities for real estate and equipment operating leases for which we are the lessee. We will adopt this ASU when effective. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". This ASU provide guidance concerning certain matters involving the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance does not alter the basic framework for classifying debt instruments held as financial assets. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted, with some exceptions. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" which was further amended through various updates issued by the FASB thereafter. The amendments of Topic 606 clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and provide a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP to improve financial reporting. The core principle of these standards are that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also amends the current guidance for the recognition of costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers requiring that all incremental costs of obtaining and direct costs of fulfilling contracts with customers such as commissions be deferred and recognized over the expected customer life. In August 2015, an ASU was issued by the FASB which deferred the effective date to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. We will adopt the requirements of the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 and anticipate using the modified retrospective transition method under which the standard will be applied only to the most current period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard will be recognized at the date of initial application.

We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard with respect to the terms of our revenue arrangements and will finalize our expected impact of the pronouncement along with implementation of changes to our internal controls and disclosures as necessary to support the new accounting during the fourth quarter of 2017. We expect the timing of recognition of our sales commissions will also be impacted as a substantial portion of these costs which are currently expensed will be capitalized under the revised standard and amortized over the period of benefit.

The following standards were adopted by the Company during the current year:

In November 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows". This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, and any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017 and applied the retrospective transition method for each period presented. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, $791 and $11 were reclassified from investing activity and effect of exchange rate changes on cash, respectively, and $51, $2,587 and $1,836 were adjusted to acquisition of business, net of cash acquired, and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, beginning of the period and end of the period balances, respectively.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting". This ASU is issued as part of its Simplification Initiative. The areas for simplification in this ASU involve several aspects of the accounting for share- based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, recognition of share-based expense, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017. We elected to account for forfeitures when they occur versus our prior practice of estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest. The election of this new ASU resulted in a one-time adjustment in 2017 to accumulated deficit and to additional paid-in-capital of $5,668 and the corresponding benefit to our accumulated deficit and deferred tax asset of $2,285 related to the reversal of forfeiture rate as of December 31, 2016. In addition, a benefit to our accumulated deficit and deferred tax asset of $6,624 was recorded for excess tax benefits on equity compensation as of December 31, 2016. We also classified cash paid by us when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes as a financing activity. As a result, $4,359 was reclassified from operating activity to financing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory". This ASU applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out ("FIFO") or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out ("LIFO") or the retail inventory. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is applied prospectively. We adopted ASU 2015-11 in the first quarter of 2017 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3. Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, and our remediation efforts related to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to our controls over the preparation of the annual tax provision, we identified an error as of December 31, 2016 in our recognition of a deferred tax asset related to contingent consideration with vesting requirements paid in connection with the acquisition of Nexmo. Based in part upon the vesting requirements of contingent consideration, we recorded the consideration as compensation expense in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. However, for tax purposes the contingent consideration should have been recorded as merger consideration and not deductible compensation. The correction of this error requires the reversal of the deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheets and related tax benefits of $4,756 as of December 31, 2016. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, we evaluated the error and determined that the related impact was not material to our results of operations or financial position for any prior annual or interim period, but that correcting the $4,756 cumulative impact of the error would be material to our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Accordingly, we have corrected the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and will correct this error in all prior periods presented by revising the appropriate condensed consolidated financial statements. This error had no impact on the three months ended March 31, 2016. The impact to the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and the three months and year ended December 31, 2016 is as follows:

Note 5. Long-Term Note and Revolving Credit Facility

This footnote should be read in conjunction with the complete description of our financing arrangements under Note 6, Long-Term Debt and Revolving Credit Facility to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

A schedule of long-term note and revolving credit facility at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows:



	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
2.50-3.25% Term note - due 2020, net of debt related costs	$	77,361	$	91,124
2.50-3.25% Revolving credit facility - due 2020	182,000		209,000
Total Long-term note and revolving credit facility	$	259,361	$	300,124

2016 Financing

On June 3, 2016, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2016 Credit Facility”) consisting of a $125.0 million term note and a $325.0 million revolving credit facility. The co-borrowers under the 2016 Credit Facility are the Company and Vonage America Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. Obligations under the 2016 Credit Facility are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, by the Company’s other United States material subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the assets of each borrower and each guarantor.

We used $197.8 million of the net available proceeds of the 2016 Credit Facility to retire all of the debt under our prior credit facility. We used $179.0 million from our 2016 Credit Facility in connection with the acquisition of Nexmo on June 3, 2016. Remaining proceeds from the term note and the undrawn revolving credit facility under the 2016 Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we made mandatory repayments of $14.1 million under the term note and made discretionary repayments of $42.0 million under the revolving credit facility, respectively, and borrowed $15.0 million under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the effective interest rate was 4.25% as of September 30, 2017.

Interest Rate Swap

On July 14, 2017, we executed on three interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the variability of expected future cash interest payments related to the 2016 Credit Facility. The swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $150 million and were effective on July 31, 2017 through June 3, 2020 concurrent with the term of the 2016 Credit Facility. Under the swaps our interest rate is fixed at 4.7%. The interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

As of September 30, 2017, the fair market value of the swaps was $197, which is included in other assets and accumulated OCI on the face of our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2017, the critical terms of the swap agreements have not changed and therefore, there is no ineffectiveness to be recorded and all changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in accumulated OCI. The following table summarizes the effects of ASC 815 on the Company's accumulated OCI balance attributable to cash flow derivatives:

Note 6. Common Stock

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had 596,950 shares of common stock authorized and had 10,318 shares available for grants under our share-based compensation programs as of September 30, 2017. For a detailed description of our share-based compensation programs refer to Note 9, Employee Benefit Plans in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Common Stock Repurchases

On December 9, 2014, Vonage's Board of Directors authorized a program for the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock (the "2014 $100.0 million repurchase program"). Repurchases under the 2014 $100.0 million repurchase program are expected to be made over a four-year period ending on December 31, 2018.

We repurchased the following shares of common stock with cash resources under the 2014 $100.0 million repurchase program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,

Shares of common stock repurchased	—		—		1,599		7,400
Value of common stock repurchased	$	—	$	—	$	9,510	$	32,762

As of September 30, 2017, $42,533 remained of our 2014 $100.0 million repurchase program. The repurchase program expires on December 31, 2018 but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

In any period under the 2014 $100.0 million repurchase program, cash used in financing activities related to common stock repurchases may differ from the comparable change in stockholders' equity, reflecting timing differences between the recognition of share repurchase transactions and their settlement for cash.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, in addition to those identified below, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims, investigations, and proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, employment, and other matters. From time to time we receive letters or other communications from third parties inviting us to obtain patent licenses that might be relevant to our business or alleging that our services infringe upon third party patents or other intellectual property. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we make a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions, if any, are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. We believe that we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against us and are vigorously defending these matters. Given the uncertainty surrounding litigation and our inability to assess the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome in the matters noted below and our inability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss or range of loss, it is possible that the resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Litigation

IP Matters

RPost Holdings, Inc. On August 24, 2012, RPost Holdings, Inc., RPost Communications Limited, and RMail Limited (collectively, “RPost”) filed a lawsuit against StrongMail Systems, Inc. (“StrongMail”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that StrongMail’s products and services, including its electronic mail marketing services, are covered by United States Patent Nos. 8,224,913, 8,209,389, 8,161,104, 7,966,372, and 6,182,219. On February 11, 2013, RPost filed an amended complaint, adding 27 new defendants, including Vonage America Inc. RPost’s amended complaint alleges willful infringement of the RPost patents by Vonage and each of the other new defendants because they are customers of StrongMail. StrongMail has agreed to fully defend and indemnify Vonage in this lawsuit. Vonage answered the complaint on May 7, 2013. On September 17, 2015, the Court ordered the consolidation for pre-trial purposes of this case with other cases by RPost. The lead case has been administratively closed and stayed since January 30, 2014 due to multiple pending actions by third parties regarding ownership of the patents at issue. On September 1, 2017, the parties in the consolidated actions filed a joint notice regarding status of the co-pending actions. Plaintiffs requested that the stay be lifted, while defendants maintain that the stay should remain in place.

AIP Acquisition LLC. On January 3, 2014, AIP Acquisition LLC (“AIP”), filed a lawsuit against Vonage Holdings Corp., Vonage America, Inc., and Vonage Marketing LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Vonage’s products and services are covered by United States Patent No. 7,269,247. Vonage filed an answer and counterclaims on February 25, 2014. AIP filed an amended complaint on March 18, 2014, which Vonage answered on April 4, 2014. On April 8, 2014, the Court stayed the case pending final resolution of non-party Level 3’s inter partes review request of United States Patent No. 7,724,879, which is a continuation of the ‘247 patent. On October 8, 2014, the Patent Office issued a Final Written Decision, finding all challenged claims of the ‘879 patent to be invalid. On November 10, 2015, the Federal Circuit rejected AIP’s appeal and affirmed the Patent Office’s rejection of the ‘879 patent.

Cisco petitioned for inter partes review of the ‘247 patent on November 25, 2014, which was granted on May 20, 2015. On May 18, 2016, the Patent Office issued a Final Written Decision, finding all challenged claims of the ‘247 patent to be invalid. AIP appealed to the Federal Circuit, filing its opening brief on December 15, 2016. On December 20, 2016, the Patent Office filed a notice of intervention in the appellate proceedings. Briefing on the appeal is complete, and oral argument was held on October 3, 2017.

Commercial Litigation

Merkin & Smith, et al. On September 27, 2013, Arthur Merkin and James Smith filed a putative class action lawsuit against Vonage America, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, alleging that Vonage violated California’s Unfair Competition Law by charging its customers fictitious 911 taxes and fees. On October 30, 2013, Vonage filed a notice removing the case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On November 26, 2013, Vonage filed its Answer to the Complaint. On December 4, 2013, Vonage filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration, which the Court denied on February 4, 2014. On March 5, 2014, Vonage appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On March 26, 2014, the district court proceedings were stayed pending the appeal. On February 29, 2016, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court’s ruling and remanded with instructions to grant the motion to compel arbitration. On March 22, 2016, Merkin and Smith filed a petition for rehearing. On May 4, 2016, the Ninth Circuit withdrew its February 29, 2016 decision and issued a new order reversing the district court’s order and remanded with instructions to compel arbitration. The Ninth Circuit also declared as moot the petition for rehearing. On June 27, 2016, the lower court stayed the case pending arbitration. A joint status report was filed with the District Court on December 23, 2016. A second joint status report was filed with the District Court on March 23, 2017. A third joint status report was filed with the District Court on June 27, 2017. A fourth joint status report was filed with the District Court on September 26, 2017.

DSA Promotions, LLC v. Vonage America, Inc. On September 28, 2017, DSA Promotions, LLC ("DSA") filed suit in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, seeking payment of approximately $162 for goods and materials provided by DSA to Vonage. Vonage was served with the Original Petition and Request for Disclosure on October 13, 2017. DSA makes its claim based upon the doctrine of suit on a sworn account, quantum meruit and unjust enrichment. Vonage removed the matter from Dallas County District Court to the United States Federal Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, on Monday, November 6, 2017. Vonage's responsive pleadings are due on Monday, November 13, 2017.

Regulation

Telephony services are subject to a broad spectrum of state and federal regulations. Because of the uncertainty over whether Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) should be treated as a telecommunications or information service, we have been involved in a substantial amount of state and federal regulatory activity. Implementation and interpretation of the existing laws and regulations is ongoing and is subject to litigation by various federal and state agencies and courts. Due to the uncertainty over the regulatory classification of VoIP service, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to new regulations or existing regulations under new interpretations, and that such change would not introduce material additional costs to our business.

Federal - Net Neutrality

Clear and enforceable net neutrality rules make it more difficult for broadband Internet service providers to block or discriminate against Vonage service. In addition, explicitly applying net neutrality rules to wireless broadband Internet service providers could create greater opportunities for VoIP applications that run on wireless broadband Internet service. In December 2010, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") adopted net neutrality rules that applied strong net neutrality rules to wired broadband Internet service providers and limited rules to wireless broadband Internet service providers. On January 14, 2014, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a significant portion of the 2010 rules. On May 15, 2014, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing new net neutrality rules. After public response to the NPRM, the FCC adopted new neutrality rules on February 26, 2015. These rules prohibit broadband Internet service providers from: (1) blocking or throttling lawful content applications, or services; (2) imposing paid prioritization arrangements; and (3) unreasonably interfering or unreasonably disadvantaging consumers or edge providers. In addition, broadband Internet service providers are required to make certain disclosures regarding their network management practices, network performance, and commercial terms. These net neutrality rules apply the same requirements to wired and wireless broadband Internet service providers. Several parties filed appeals which are pending at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals were held on December 4, 2015. On June 14, 2016, the D.C. Circuit of Appeals denied the appeals. Several parties filed a petition for rehearing en banc on July 29, 2016, which was denied on May 1, 2017. On July 2, 2017 Chief Justice John Roberts extended the time within which interested parties could file a petition for a writ of certiorari until September 28, 2017. Multiple interested parties and intervenors filed petitions. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the petitions.

Federal - Rural Call Completion Issues

On February 7, 2013, the FCC released a NPRM on rural call completion issues. The NPRM proposed new detailed reporting requirements to gauge rural call completion performance. Rural carriers have argued that VoIP provider call completion performance to rural areas is generally poor. On October 28, 2013, the FCC adopted an order on rural call completion imposing new reporting obligations and restricting certain call signaling practices. The call signaling rules went into effect on January 31, 2014. We filed for extensions of the rules, which the FCC granted, and as of April 17, 2014, we were compliant with the FCC call signaling rules. The effective date for the reporting requirements was April 1, 2015. We could be subject to an FCC enforcement action in the future in the event the FCC took the position that our rural call completion performance is inadequate or we were not compliant with the FCC’s order. On June 22, 2017, the FCC issued a Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The FCC has proposed changes to the FCC's rules that allegedly would more effectively address rural call completion problems while reducing burdens on covered providers. Vonage is reviewing and evaluating the FCC's proposed changes.

Federal - NPRM - Number Slamming

On July 13, 2017, the FCC adopted a NPRM regarding ways to protect consumers from number slamming and cramming without impeding competition or impairing the ability of consumers to switch providers. Vonage is monitoring this NPRM.

Federal - NPRM Toll Free Assignment Modernization

On September 26, 2017 the FCC issued a NPRM regarding the modernization of toll free number assignment. The FCC proposes amending its rules to allow for the use of an auction to assign certain toll free numbers - such as vanity and repeater numbers - in order to better promote the equitable and efficient use of numbers (especially as afforded by the opening of the 833 toll free code). Vonage will continue to monitor activity with respect to this NPRM.

Federal - NOI - Enterprise Communications Systems Access to 911

On September 26, 2017, the FCC adopted a Notice of Inquiry ("NOI") with respect to 911 access, routing and location in Enterprise Communication Systems. Vonage will monitor activity related to this NOI.

Federal - Access to Telecommunication Equipment and Services by Persons with Disabilities

At its open meeting scheduled for October 24, 2017, the FCC applied its wireline hearing aid compatibility rules/standards to handsets that provide advanced communication services, which includes interconnected and non-interconnected Voice over IP. The rules include certain coupling and volume control requirements that would allow the handsets to work better for persons with hearing aids. There are also testing and certification requirements, which typically apply to the handset manufacturer. The FCC also adopted a requirement for volume control in wireless handsets. The new rules have a two-year phase in for new phones and do not require the modification to existing handsets.

Federal - Rules and Policies Regarding Caller ID Services

At its open meeting on October 24, 2017, the FCC issued a report and order regarding amendments to the Commission’s rules to exempt threatening calls from current Caller ID blocking roles so that, among other changes, law enforcement and security personnel have timely access to information they need to aid their investigations. The order exempts threatening calls from the CPN privacy rules.

Federal - Part 43 Report and Order

At its open meeting scheduled for October 24, 2017, the FCC issued a report and order based on a March 23, 2017 NPRM to eliminate the filing of annual traffic and revenue reports and streamline circuit capacity reports.

Federal - Number Portability NPRM and NOI

At its open meeting scheduled for October 24, 2017, the FCC released a NPRM that would allow carriers flexibility in conducting number portability database queries to promote nationwide number portability and eliminate the dialing party requirement as it applies to interexchange service. The NOI seeks comments on industry number portability models and how number administration might be improved for more efficient technical, operational, administrative and legal processes. Vonage is monitoring this NPRM and NOI.

State Telecommunications Regulation

In general, the focus of interconnected VoIP telecommunications regulation is at the federal level. On November 12, 2004, the FCC issued a declaratory ruling providing that our service is subject to federal regulation and preempted the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (“MPUC”) from imposing certain of its regulations on us. The FCC's decision was based on its conclusion that our service is interstate in nature and cannot be separated into interstate and intrastate components. On March 21, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit affirmed the FCC's declaratory ruling preempting state regulation of our service.

While this ruling does not exempt us from all state oversight of our service, it effectively prevents state telecommunications regulators from imposing certain burdensome and inconsistent market entry requirements and certain other state utility rules and regulations on our service. State regulators continue to probe the limits of federal preemption in their attempts to apply state telecommunications regulation to interconnected VoIP service. On July 16, 2009, the Nebraska Public Service Commission and the Kansas Corporation Commission filed a petition with the FCC seeking a declaratory ruling or, alternatively, adoption of a rule declaring that state authorities may apply universal service funding requirements to nomadic VoIP providers. We participated in the FCC proceedings on the petition. On November 5, 2010, the FCC issued a declaratory ruling that allowed states to assess state USF on nomadic VoIP providers on a going forward basis provided that the states comply with certain conditions to ensure that imposing state USF does not conflict with federal law or policy.

Minnesota - More recently on July 28, 2015, the MPUC found that it has authority to regulate Charter’s fixed, interconnected VoIP service. Charter challenged the MPUC’s order at the U.S. District Court for Minnesota. This challenge is currently pending. In September 2017 amicus briefs were filed in support of the Minnesota PUC's appeal of the Charter decision by AARP, the AARP Foundation, Professor Barbara Cherry, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and the national Association of State Consumer Advocates and the Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid.

Arizona - on August 14, 2017, the Arizona Corporation Commission issued an opinion and order with respect to amendments to the Arizona Universal Services Fund. The rulemaking allows for, among other things, the collection of additional USF surcharges in Arizona to fund the E-rate Broadband Special Construction Project Matching Fund Program. The Commission held hearing on September 12 and 13, 2017. Vonage will continue to monitor this rulemaking to determine its effect upon its business activities within Arizona.

We expect that state public utility commissions and state legislators will continue their attempts to apply state telecommunications regulations to nomadic VoIP service.

State and Municipal Taxes

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we make a provision for a liability for taxes when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability or range of liability can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. For a period of time, we did not collect or remit state or municipal taxes (such as sales, excise, utility, use, and ad valorem taxes), fees or surcharges (“Taxes”) on the charges to our customers for our services, except that we historically complied with the New Jersey sales tax. We have received inquiries or demands from a number of state and municipal taxing and 911 agencies seeking payment of Taxes that are applied to or collected from customers of providers of traditional public switched telephone network services. Although we have consistently maintained that these Taxes do not apply to our service for a variety of reasons depending on the statute or rule that establishes such obligations, we are now collecting and remitting sales taxes in certain of those states including a number of states that have changed their statutes to expressly include VoIP. In addition, many states address how VoIP providers should contribute to support public safety agencies, and in those states we remit fees to the appropriate state agencies. We could also be contacted by state or municipal taxing and 911 agencies regarding Taxes that do explicitly apply to VoIP and these agencies could seek retroactive payment of Taxes. As such, we have reserves of $901 and $1,763 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, as our best estimate of the potential tax exposure for any retroactive assessment.

Note 8. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Sale of Hosted Infrastructure Product Line

On May 31, 2017, we completed the sale of our Hosted Infrastructure product line for up to $4.0 million consideration comprised of $1.0 million received upon closing an additional $0.5 million of contingent consideration received during the third quarter and the potential for up to $2.5 million further consideration based on the achievement of financial objectives for net sales during the 18 months following closing. The results of our Hosted Infrastructure product line have been included within our business segment. As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of $1,377 within other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This disposal did not represent a strategic shift in operations and, therefore, did not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.

Acquisition of Nexmo

Nexmo is a global leader in the Communications-Platform-as-a-Service (“CPaaS”) segment of the cloud communications market. Nexmo provides innovative communication application program interfaces (“APIs”) for text messaging and voice communications, allowing developers and enterprises to embed contextual communications into mobile apps, websites and business workflows via text, social media, chat apps and voice.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 5, 2016 and further amended on June 2, 2016, by and among the Company, Neptune Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and newly formed indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Vonage (“Merger Sub”), Nexmo, a Delaware corporation, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, as representative of the security holders of Nexmo, on June 3, 2016, Merger Sub, on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, merged with and into Nexmo, and Nexmo became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Vonage.

Under the agreement, Nexmo shareholders received consideration of $231,122, with an additional earn-out opportunity (the "contingent consideration") of up to $20,000 contingent upon Nexmo achieving certain performance targets. Of the consideration, $194,684 (net of cash acquired of $16,094) was paid at close, consisting of $163,093 of cash (net of $16,094 of cash acquired) and 6,823 in shares of Vonage common stock valued at $31,591. The remaining $36,438 of the $231,122 purchase price is in the form of restricted cash, restricted stock and options held by Nexmo management and employees (the "Employee Payout Amount"), subject to vesting requirements over time and to be amortized to compensation expense quarterly until vested. We financed the transaction with $179,000 from our 2016 Credit Facility.

The consideration was allocated to acquisition cost as follows:



Cash paid at closing (inclusive of cash acquired of $16,094)	$	179,186
Stock paid at closing	31,591
Contingent consideration (described below)	16,472
Employee Payout Amount (described below)	4,779
Acquisition Cost	$	232,028

In addition, Nexmo shareholders were eligible to earn a Variable Payout Amount of up to $20,000, subject to the achievement of certain performance targets during the 12 month period following the closing of the transaction. We estimated using probability weighting that the value of the contingent consideration was $17,840 at the acquisition date and included that amount in acquisition cost at the net present value amount of $16,472. As of December 31, 2016, Nexmo did not achieve the performance targets necessary to earn the Variable Payout Amount but the parties agreed to a $5,000 settlement that the parties were paid in the first quarter of 2017.

In addition, Nexmo management and employees were eligible to earn an Employee Payout Amount of $36,438 attributable to restricted cash, restricted stock and assumed options, of which $4,779 is included in acquisition cost as service had been provided pre-acquisition and $31,659 will be recorded as post-acquisition expense assuming all amounts vest, of which $31,087 is being recognized as compensation expense and $572 related to interest expense as continued employment is a condition of receiving consideration. Pursuant to the merger agreement, $20,372 of the cash consideration and $5,081 of the stock consideration were placed in escrow for unknown liabilities that may have existed as of the acquisition date.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred approximately $28 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred approximately $257 and $5,316, respectively, in acquisition related transaction costs, which were recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. For the full year 2016, we incurred approximately $5.5 million in acquisition related transaction costs.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under which assets and liabilities of Nexmo were recorded at their respective fair values including an amount for goodwill representing the difference between the acquisition consideration and the fair value of the identifiable net assets. We do not expect any portion of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment. The factors that contributed to goodwill include synergies that are specific to our consolidated business, the acquisition of a talented workforce that provides us with expertise in the small and medium business markets, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition.

The acquisition price was allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets assumed were based on management’s current estimates and assumptions. The accounting for the Nexmo acquisition was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2017, at which point the fair values became final. The table below summarizes the provisional amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2016 as well as adjustments made through the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when the allocation became final. Measurement period adjustments primarily reflect the tax impact of the acquisition date fair values.

The pro forma data was also adjusted to eliminate non-recurring transaction costs incurred by us as well as the related tax impact. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that we would have achieved had the transaction actually occurred on January 1, 2016 and does not purport to be indicative of future financial operating results nor does it reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be realized from the integration of the acquisition.

Note 9. Industry Segment and Geographic Information

ASC 280 "Segment Reporting" establishes reporting standards for an enterprise's business segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. Under ASC 280, the method for determining what information to report is based upon the way management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Our chief operating decision-maker reviews revenue and gross margin information for each of our reportable segments, but does not review operating expenses on a segment by segment basis. In addition, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets, we do not identify or allocate our assets by the reportable segments.

Note 10. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

The income tax provision consisted of the following:



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Income before income taxes	$	21,270		$	10,579		$	25,964		$	29,291
Income tax expense	(10,668		)	(3,539		)	(4,624		)	(14,102		)
Effective tax rate	50.2		%	33.5		%	17.8		%	48.1		%

We recognize income tax expense equal to pre-tax income multiplied by our effective income tax rate. In addition, adjustments are recorded for discrete period items and changes to our state effective tax rate which can cause the rate to fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, our effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due to discrete period tax benefits of $9,539 and $1,433 which were recognized related to excess tax benefits on equity compensation recognized primarily in the first quarter of 2017 as well as an adjustment to our deferred asset related to stock compensation.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, our effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due to a discrete period tax expense of $1,220 recorded due to expired stock options recognized in the first quarter of 2016 which was partially offset by $389 which was recorded during the second quarter of 2016 and $661 which was recorded in the third quarter of 2016. The provision also includes the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local income taxes.

We do not have any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards ("NOLs")

As of December 31, 2016, we had cumulative domestic Federal NOLs of $575,476 and cumulative state NOLs of $158,848, expiring at various times from years ending 2017 through 2036. In addition, we had NOLs for United Kingdom tax purposes of $43,006 with no expiration date. In connection with the completion of our accounting of the acquisition of Nexmo, we adjusted our cumulative domestic Federal NOLs to $585,622 as of September 30, 2017 and did not impact our cumulative state NOLs or the United Kingdom.

On June 8, 2017, at the Vonage 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders ratified the extension of the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan ("Preservation Plan") through June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 8, Common Stock to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for a complete description of the Preservation Plan.

Financial Information Presentation

For the financial information discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than per share, per line and per seat amounts, dollar amounts are presented in thousands, except where noted. All trademarks are the property of their owners.

Overview and Strategy

We are a leading provider of cloud communications services for businesses and consumers. Our business services transform the way people work and businesses operate through a portfolio of communications solutions that enable internal collaboration among employees, while also keeping companies closely connected with their customers, across any mode of communication, on any cloud-connected device. Vonage customers can choose among or combine two separate service delivery options to suit their specific cloud communication needs. They can buy Vonage Business as a subscription and they can buy our Vonage API Platform and consume our cloud communication as a service product as programmable modules, delivered via application program interfaces. We also provide a robust suite of feature-rich residential communication solutions.

Business

For our Business customers, we provide innovative, cloud-based Unified Communications as a Service, or UCaaS, solutions, comprised of integrated voice, text, video, data, collaboration, and mobile applications over our flexible, scalable Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, network. Through our acquisition of Nexmo in 2016, we also offer CPaaS solutions designed to enhance the way businesses communicate with their customers by embedding communications into apps, websites and business processes. In combination, our products and services permit our business customers to communicate with their customers and employees through any cloud-connected device, in any place, at any time without the often costly investment required with on-site equipment. We have a robust set of product families tailored to serve the full range of the business value chain, from the small and medium business, or SMB, market, through mid-market and enterprise markets. We provide customers with multiple deployment options, designed to provide the reliability and quality of service they demand. We provide customers the ability to integrate our cloud communications platform with many cloud-based productivity and CRM solutions, including Google’s G Suite, Zendesk, Salesforce’s Sales Cloud, Oracle, and Clio.

Our Business strategy is to support the full range of business customers, using two product families: Vonage Essentials, based on our proprietary call processing platform that is purpose-built for SMB and mid-market customers; and Vonage Premier, based on Broadsoft’s call processing platform in combination with other Vonage cloud based solutions, which serves larger customers, from mid-market businesses through large enterprises. We also organized our salesforce to address the full business market. We believe operating two platforms at scale enables us to deliver the right products and solutions to address the needs of diverse customers while maximizing our subscriber economics, regardless of segment served. Revenues are generated primarily through the sale of subscriptions for our UCaaS services. Our revenue generation efforts are focused on customer acquisition and retention as well as providing additional services to existing customers as they grow and scale.

Our diverse customer base spans a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, automotive, legal, information technology, financial services, construction, real estate, engineering, healthcare, and non-profit.

Vonage Essentials. Vonage Essentials customers subscribe to our cloud-based communication services, delivered through our proprietary platform that is purpose-built for SMB and mid-market customers. Essentials provides a cost-effective, scalable, feature-rich solution, delivered over-the-top of a customer’s broadband, typically month-to-month without a commitment. Vonage Essentials is sold primarily through our direct telesales and online channels, and is increasingly sold through our channel partners and field sales teams. We believe the strength of the Vonage brand directly contributes to a lower-cost customer acquisition model and provides attractive subscriber economics.

Vonage Premier. Our Vonage Premier offerings are tailor-made for the large mid-market and enterprise segments. Vonage Premier is a feature-rich/fully managed solution that utilizes Broadsoft Inc.’s ("Broadsoft") enterprise-grade call processing platform, in combination with other cloud services like advanced contact center, video conferencing and speak2dial, and can be provided with high-level quality of service ("QoS"), which is generally delivered over our national MPLS network, with 21 network Points of Presence (POPs) across the country. Vonage can also provide QoS-level quality over-the-top of the customer’s broadband through our Smart-WAN router solution. Customers value our proprietary provisioning and feature-management tool, named Zeus, which enables the rapid deployment of solutions directly by Vonage while giving full visibility to our channel partners and our customers. Further differentiating Vonage is our robust service delivery team comprised of team members specializing in project management, voice and data provisioning, and line number porting. This team is intensely focused on providing an outstanding customer experience, and is rapidly becoming a competitive differentiator.

Our Vonage Premier offering is sold primarily through our channel partners, and our field and enterprise sales teams, and generally requires a three-year contract. We are a preferred provider for many of the largest master agents in the country, harnessing a network of over 20,000 sub agents selling both Vonage Premier and Vonage Essentials. We believe we have one of the largest multi-channel distribution sales platforms in our industry to serve the full range of business customers. We plan to capitalize on the growing adoption of cloud-based communications and collaboration solutions by continuing to expand our salesforce, expand into new markets, and enhance our relationships with existing customers to provide additional functionality and overall business value that can be achieved with our UCaaS platform.

Nexmo, the Vonage API Platform. We are a global leader in the CPaaS segment of the cloud communications market, providing innovative communication APIs for text messaging and voice communications, allowing developers and enterprises to embed contextual communications into mobile apps, websites and business workflows via text, social media, chat apps and voice. With just few lines of code, developers can send and receive text messages and build programmable voice applications. Nexmo, the Vonage API Platform can scale from one API call to billions. The platform makes it easy for any of our over 200,000 developers to access communication services via software and APIs. Through Nexmo we have a global network of interconnected carriers delivering our API-based communications platform, enabling businesses to communicate with their customers reliably and with ease, no matter where in the world they are located. The addition of our Nexmo products to our Business offering allows our customers to address their full communications needs, from employee to employee communications through business to customer communications.

Consumer

For our Consumer customers, we enable users to access and utilize our services and features, via their existing internet connections, including over 3G/4G, LTE, Cable, or DSL broadband networks. This technology enables us to offer our Consumer customers attractively priced voice communication services and other features around the world on a variety of devices.

Our Consumer strategy is focused on the continued penetration of our core North American markets, where we will continue to provide value in domestic and international long distance and target under-served segments.

We generate revenue through the acquisition and retention of Consumer customers. We are focused on optimizing the Consumer business for profitability to improve the strong cash flows of the business. During 2017, we continued our disciplined focus on marketing efficiency by shifting customer acquisition spend to our higher performing channels, improving the quality of customers we acquire and driving lower churn, all of which drive higher customer life-time value. This focus has led to a reallocation of marketing spend to our Business segment.

The result of these initiatives has been to create a strong cash flow business which provides financial stability, as well as cost synergies and structural advantages to our Business segment.

Services outside of the United States. We currently have UCaaS and consumer operations in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada and believe that our low-cost Internet based communications platform enables us to cost effectively deliver voice and messaging services to other locations throughout the world. Through Nexmo, we have operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and provide CPaaS solutions to our customers located in many countries around the world.

We had approximately 2.3 million combined consumer subscriber lines and business seats as of September 30, 2017. Customers in the United States represented 84% of our consolidated revenues at September 30, 2017, with the balance in Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries. Nexmo has operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and provides CPaaS solutions to our customers located in many countries around the world.

Trends in Our Industry

A number of trends in our industry have a significant effect on our results of operations and are important to an understanding of our financial statements.

Competitive landscape. We face intense competition from traditional telephone companies, wireless companies, cable companies, and alternative communication providers. Most traditional wireline and wireless telephone service providers and cable companies are substantially larger and better capitalized than we are and have the advantage of a large existing customer base. In addition, because our competitors provide other services, they often choose to offer VoIP services or other voice services as part of a bundle that includes other products, such as video, high speed Internet access, and wireless telephone service, which we do not offer. In addition, such competitors may in the future require new customers or existing customers making changes to their service to purchase voice services when purchasing high speed Internet access. Further, as wireless providers offer more minutes at lower prices, better coverage, and companion landline alternative services, their services have become more attractive to households as a replacement for wireline service. We also compete against alternative communication providers, such as Twilio, Ooma, magicJack, Skype, WhatsApp, and Google Voice. Some of these service providers have chosen to sacrifice telephony revenue in order to gain market share and have offered their services at low prices or for free. As we continue to introduce applications that integrate different forms of voice and messaging services over multiple devices, we are facing competition from emerging competitors focused on similar integration, as well as from alternative voice communication providers. In addition, our competitors have partnered and may in the future partner with other competitors to offer products and services, leveraging their collective competitive positions. We also are subject to the risk of future disruptive technologies. In connection with our emphasis on the international long distance market in the United States, we face competition from low-cost international calling cards and VoIP providers in addition to traditional telephone companies, cable companies, and wireless companies, each of which may implement promotional pricing targeting international long distance callers.

Regulation. Our business has developed in a relatively lightly regulated environment. The United States and other countries, however, are examining how VoIP services should be regulated. In particular, state telecommunications regulators continue to try to regulate VoIP service despite the FCC’s 2004 Vonage Preemption Order that preempted state regulation. For example, on July 28, 2015, the Minnesota Public Utility Commission found that it has authority to regulate Charter’s ‘fixed' interconnected VoIP service. In addition to regulatory matters that directly address VoIP, a number of other regulatory initiatives could impact our business. One such regulatory initiative is net neutrality. On February 26, 2015, the FCC adopted strong net neutrality rules. Several parties filed appeals which are pending at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals were held on December 4, 2015. On June 14, 2016, the D.C. Circuit of Appeals denied the appeals. Several parties filed a petition for rehearing en banc on July 29, 2016, which was denied on May 1, 2017. See also the discussion under "Regulation" in Note 7 to our financial statements for a discussion of regulatory issues that impact us. On July 2, 2017, Chief Justice John Roberts extended the time within which interested parties could file a petition for a writ of certiorari until September 28, 2017. Multiple interest parties and intervenors filed petitions. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on the petitions.

Key Operating Data

The table below includes key operating data that our management uses to measure the growth and operating performance of the Business segment:



Business	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Revenues ⁽¹⁾	$	129,306		$	106,309		$	364,822		$	265,841
Average monthly revenues per seat ⁽²⁾	$	43.53		$	45.50		$	43.70		$	44.96
Seats (at period end) ⁽²⁾	709,736			615,728			709,736			615,728
Revenue churn ⁽²⁾	1.2		%	1.4		%	1.3		%	1.4		%

(1) Includes revenue from CPaaS of $38,364 and $99,780 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $23,909 and$31,607 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

(2) UCaaS only.

Revenues. Includes revenues from our business customers from acquired entities and excludes revenues from our legacy business customers.

Average monthly revenues per seat. Average monthly revenues per seat for a particular period is calculated by dividing revenues for that period by the simple average number of seats for the period, and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. The simple average number of seats for the period is the number of seats on the first day of the period, plus the number of seats on the last day of the period, divided by two. Our average monthly revenues per seat decreased from $45.50 and $44.96 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, to $43.53 and $43.70 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to our plan to sell access more selectively and the removal of revenues associated with our Hosted Infrastructure product line which was sold at the end of May 2017.

Seats. Seats include, as of a particular date, all paid seats from which a customer can make an outbound telephone call on that date and virtual seats. Seats exclude electronic fax lines and toll free numbers, which do not allow outbound telephone calls by customers. Seats increased from 615,728 as of September 30, 2016 to 709,736 as of September 30, 2017. This increase is due to continued growth in our business customers as we have increased marketing investment to attract these more profitable customers.

Revenue Churn. Revenue churn is calculated by dividing the monthly recurring revenue from customers or customer locations that have terminated during a period by the simple average of the total monthly recurring revenue from all customers in a given period. The simple average of total monthly recurring revenue from all customers during the period is the total monthly recurring revenue on the first day of the period, plus the total monthly recurring revenue on the last day of the period, divided by two. Terminations, as used in the calculation of churn statistics, do not include customers terminated during the period if termination occurred within the first month after activation. Other companies may calculate revenue churn differently, and their revenue churn data may not be directly comparable to ours. Revenue churn was 1.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and 1.2% and 1.3% for the three and nine months ended months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Our revenue churn will fluctuate over time due to economic conditions, loss of customers who are acquired, and competitive pressures including promotional pricing. We are continuing to invest in our overall quality of service which includes customer care headcount and systems, billing systems, on-boarding processes and self-service options to ensure we scale our processes to our growth and continue to improve the overall customer experience.

The table below includes key operating data that our management uses to measure the growth and operating performance of the Consumer segment:



Consumer	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Revenues	$	123,777		$	142,050		$	383,444		$	443,017
Average monthly revenues per subscriber line	$	26.29		$	26.36		$	26.18		$	26.55
Subscriber lines (at period end)	1,543,760			1,767,212			1,543,760			1,767,212
Customer churn	1.9		%	2.2		%	2.0		%	2.2		%

Revenues. Represents revenue from our Consumer customers including revenues from our legacy business customers using Vonage VoIP products.

Average monthly revenues per subscriber line. Average monthly revenues per subscriber line for a particular period is calculated by dividing our revenues for that period by the simple average number of subscriber lines for the period, and dividing the result by the number of months in the period. The simple average number of subscriber lines for the period is the number of subscriber lines on the first day of the period, plus the number of subscriber lines on the last day of the period, divided by two. Our average monthly revenues per subscriber line decreased from $26.36 and $26.55 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively to $26.29 and $26.18 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, due primarily to lower international long distance pay-per-use revenue.

Subscriber lines. Our subscriber lines include, as of a particular date, all paid subscriber lines from which a customer can make an outbound telephone call on that date. Our subscriber lines include fax lines, including fax lines bundled with subscriber lines in our small office home office calling plans and soft phones, but do not include our virtual phone numbers and toll free numbers, which only allow inbound telephone calls to customers. Subscriber lines decreased from 1,767,212 as of September 30, 2016 to 1,543,760 as of September 30, 2017, reflecting planned actions to enhance the profitability of the assisted sales channel by eliminating lower performing locations and restructuring the pricing offers, and to shift investment to our business market.

Customer churn. Customer churn is calculated by dividing the number of customers that have terminated during a period by the simple average of number of customers in a given period. The simple average number of customers during the period is the number of customers on the first day of the period, plus the number of customers on the last day of the period, divided by two. Terminations, as used in the calculation of churn statistics, do not include customers terminated during the period if termination occurred within the first month after activation. Other companies may calculate customer churn differently, and their customer churn data may not be directly comparable to ours. Customer churn decreased from 2.2% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, to 1.9% and 2.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We monitor customer churn on a daily basis and use it as an indicator of the level of customer satisfaction. Customers who have been with us for a year or more tend to have a lower churn rate than customers who have not. In addition, our customers who are international callers generally churn at a lower rate than customers who are domestic callers. Our customer churn will fluctuate over time due to economic conditions, competitive pressures including promotional pricing targeting international long distance callers, marketplace perception of our services, and our ability to provide high quality customer care and network quality and add future innovative products and services.

Management's discussion of the results of operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

We calculate gross margin in order to evaluate operating revenues as total revenues less cost of service, which primarily consists of fees that we pay to third parties on an ongoing basis in order to provide our services, and cost of goods sold which primarily includes costs incurred when a customer first subscribes to our service. The following table presents the composition of gross margin for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2017 and 2016:

(1)	Includes customer premise equipment, access, professional services, and shipping and handling.


(2)	Excludes depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $5,053 and $14,931, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $5,015, and $13,807, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Service revenues. Service revenues increased by $22,821, or 26%, due primarily to Nexmo which represents 17% of the total increase as compared to the prior year quarter as the Company has continued to focus on growth in CPaaS since the acquisition of Nexmo in June 2016. In addition, the prior year results excludes a current year correction in reporting a portion of revenues on a gross basis rather than net which also has resulted in an increase in revenue. This correction did not have a material impact. Service revenues were also favorably impacted by an increase in the number of UCaaS seats as we have shifted marketing investments from Consumer to attract more profitable Business customers. During 2017, our CPaaS revenue growth has predominately come from lower margin business for which our strategy of increasing higher margin CPaaS integrated voice business is currently underway. This increase is slightly offset by decrease in service revenues attributed to the sale of our Hosted Infrastructure product line completed on May 31, 2017.

Service cost of revenues. Service cost of revenues increased by $15,919, or 46%, primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with Nexmo due to higher usage volumes as compared to the prior year.

USF revenues and USF cost of revenues. USF revenues increased by $709, or 12% and USF cost of revenues increased by $709, or 12%, due to synchronization of methodologies across Business segment and increase in the number of UCaaS seats.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Service revenues. Service revenues increased by $95,385, or 45%, due primarily to the acquisition of Nexmo on June 3, 2016 which attributed to approximately 32% of the increase as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Also attributing to the increase in the current year was an increase in the number of UCaaS seats as we have shifted marketing investments from Consumer to attract more profitable Business customers.

Service cost of revenues. Service cost of revenues increased by $66,430, or 91%, due primarily to the acquisition of Nexmo along with the prospective presentation beginning the quarter ended June 30, 2017 of costs associated with Nexmo's trading activities on a gross basis as discussed above. Costs during the current year period are also slightly higher due to increased technical care costs and network operations cost in support of growth in the segment.

USF revenues and USF cost of revenues. USF revenues increased by $3,554, or 22% and USF cost of revenues increased by $3,543, or 22%, due to synchronization of methodologies across Business segment and increase in the number of UCaaS seats.

•

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $10,155 due to a reduction in Consumer marketing through traditional media outlets reflecting planned actions to enhance profitability by targeting consumers with lower subscriber acquisition cost and churn profiles which was largely offset by an increase in Business marketing as we have shifted marketing investment to attract these more profitable customers.


•	Engineering and development expense decreased by $1,119 due to decreased employee costs associated with engineering costs related to Consumer as compared to the prior year as the Company has focused on the ongoing growth of the Business segment.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Total other operating expenses decreased by $1,132 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due to the following:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense of $153, or 4%, was driven by lower interest associated with the Company's capital lease as compared to the prior year.

Other income (expense), net. The increase in other income (expense), net of $960, or 194%, was attributable to losses associated with foreign currency in the prior year along with additional gain recognized during the quarter associated with contingent consideration from the sale of the Hosted Infrastructure product line.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense of $1,908, or 20%, was due mainly to the funds we borrowed from the 2016 Credit Facility in June 2016 in connection with the acquisition of Nexmo and the additional funds we borrowed in the first quarter of 2017 to fund operations.

Other income (expense), net. The increased in other income (expense), net of $1,168, or 493%, was due the sale of the Hosted Infrastructure product line during the second quarter of 2017.

Provision for Income Taxes

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized discrete period tax benefits of $9,539 and $1,433 which were recognized related to excess tax benefits on equity compensation recognized primarily in the first quarter of 2017 as well as an adjustment to our deferred asset related to stock compensation.

In the first quarter of 2016 a discrete period tax expense of $1,220 was recorded related to expired stock options which was partially offset by $389 which was recorded during the second quarter of 2016 and $661 which was recorded in the third quarter of 2016. The provision also includes the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated cash from operations. We expect to continue to balance efforts to grow our revenue while consistently achieving operating profitability. To grow our revenue, we continue to make investments in growth initiatives, marketing, application development, network quality and expansion, and customer care. Although we believe we will achieve consistent profitability in the future, we ultimately may not be successful and we may not achieve consistent profitability. We believe that cash flow from operations and cash on hand will fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:



	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2017			2016			Dollar Change
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	80,600		$	69,614		10,986
Net cash used in investing activities	(23,626		)	(188,637		)	165,011
Net cash (used)/provided by financing activities	(56,757		)	93,264			(150,021	)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased to $80,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $69,614 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in earnings as compared to the prior period attributed to decrease in deferred taxes of $9,172 and contingent consideration of $7,362 during the prior year period, offset by an increase in stock compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 associated with the acquisition of Nexmo of $1,869.

Changes in working capital requirements include changes in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities, and deferred revenue and costs. Cash used for working capital requirements decreased by $5,681 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $23,626 was mainly attributable to the purchase of capital expenditures of $15,790 and development of software assets of $9,438, offset by the sales of marketable securities of $602 and cash proceeds of $1,000 associated with the sale of the Hosted Infrastructure product line in the second quarter of 2017.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $188,637 was mainly attributable to the acquisition of Nexmo for cash proceeds of $163,042, purchase of capital expenditures of $19,980 and development of software assets of $8,987, offset by the sales of marketable securities, net of purchase of $3,372.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $56,757 was primarily attributable to $14,063 in 2016 term note principal payments, $42,000 in 2016 revolving credit facility principal payments, $2,500 in patent license payments, $3,201 in capital lease payments, $9,542 in common stock repurchases, and $14,927 in employee taxes paid on withholding shares, offset by $14,476 in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and $15,000 in proceeds received from issuance of notes payable.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $93,264 was primarily attributable to $181,250 in net proceeds received from our 2016 Credit Facility and $6,169 in proceeds received from the exercise of stock option, offset by $9,375 in 2016 term note principal payments, $25 million in 2016 revolving credit facility principal payments, $3,750 in 2015 term note principal payments, $10 million in 2015 revolving credit facility principal payments, $4,250 in patent license payments, $3,203 in capital lease payments, $32,902 in common stock repurchases, $1,316 in debt related costs payments, and $4,359 in employee taxes paid on withholding shares.

Available Borrowings Under the 2016 Credit Facility

We maintain significant availability under our lines of credit to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. As of September 30, 2017, amounts available under the 2016 Credit Facility totaled $143 million.

State and Local Sales Taxes

We also have contingent liabilities for state and local sales taxes. As of September 30, 2017, we had a reserve of $901. If our ultimate liability exceeds this amount, it could affect our liquidity unfavorably. However, we do not believe it will significantly impair our liquidity.

Capital Expenditures

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, capital expenditures were primarily for the implementation of software solutions and purchase of network equipment as we continue to expand our network. Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $25,228, of which $9,438 was for software acquisition and development. The majority of these expenditures are comprised of investments in information technology and systems infrastructure, including an electronic data warehouse, online customer service, and customer management platforms. For 2017, we believe our capital and software expenditures will be approximately $35,000. This amount is net of Tenant Improvement capital dollars we are investing in our Holmdel, New Jersey headquarters which are being refunded by the building owner in connection with the long-term lease renewal we executed in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Common Stock Repurchases

On December 9, 2014, Vonage's Board of Directors authorized a new program for the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. Repurchases under the new program are expected to be made over a four-year period ending on December 31, 2018.

Under the current program, the timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions, the trading price of the stock and will vary based on available capital resources and other financial and operational performance, market conditions, securities law limitations, and other factors. Repurchases may be made in the open market or through private transactions from time to time. The repurchases will be made using available cash balances. In any period, under each repurchase program, cash used in financing activities related to common stock repurchases may differ from the comparable change in stockholders' equity, reflecting timing differences between the recognition of share repurchase transactions and their settlement for cash.

As of September 30, 2017, approximately $42,533 remained of our 2014 $100.0 million repurchase program. The repurchase program expires on December 31, 2018 but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Obligations under Certain Guarantee Contracts

We enter guarantee arrangements in the normal course of business to facilitate transactions with third parties. These arrangements include financial and performance guarantees, stand-by letters of credit, debt guarantees and indemnifications. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 we had stand-by letters of credit totaling $1,561 and $1,578, respectively.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Except as set forth below and in Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, there were no significant changes in our commitments under contractual obligations as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Contingencies

There has been and may be in the future substantial litigation in the areas in which we operate regarding alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, employment and other matters. We record a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to further uncertainties. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change it is possible that the resolution of the matters described in Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The application of these policies involves judgment regarding future events and these judgments could materially affect the financial statements and disclosures based on varying assumptions, which may be appropriate to use.

We identify our most critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations, and those that require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management regarding estimates. Our critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and long lived assets, income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred taxes, share-based compensation, inventory and accounting for business combinations.

As of September 30, 2017, our goodwill is attributable to our Business operating segment. We perform our annual test of goodwill on October 1st. Additionally, we will assess our goodwill for impairment between annual tests when specific circumstances dictate.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Risk

We sell our products and services primarily in the United States, Canada, and the European Union. Changes in currency exchange rates affect the valuation in our financial statements of the assets and liabilities of these operations. We also have a portion of our sales denominated in Euros, the Canadian Dollar, and the British Pound, which are also affected by changes in currency exchange rates. Our financial results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although foreign exchange risks have not been material to our financial position or results of operations to date.

Interest Rate and Debt Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates primarily relates to our long-term debt. In order to hedge the variability of expected future cash interest payments related to the 2016 Credit Facility we have entered into three interest rate swap agreements which were executed on July 14, 2017. The swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $150 million and are effective on July 31, 2017 through June, 3, 2020 concurrent with the term of the 2016 Credit Facility. Under the swaps our interest rate is fixed at 4.7%. The interest rate swaps will be accounted for as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

As of September 30, 2017, if the interest rate on our variable rate debt changed by 1% on our 2016 term note, our annual debt service payment would change by approximately $1 million. As of September 30, 2017, if the interest rate on our variable rate debt changed by 1% on our 2016 revolving credit facility, our annual debt service payment would change by approximately $1.8 million.



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) required by Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 related to our controls over the preparation of the annual tax provision.

Material Weakness. As disclosed in Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, in connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to our controls over the preparation of the annual tax provision.

Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for changes in connection with the implementation of the remediation plan described below.

Remediation Plan. Management has begun implementing a remediation plan to address the control deficiency that led to the material weakness. The remediation plan includes (i) the implementation of additional review procedures designed to enhance our tax provision controls and (ii) strengthening our tax provision controls with improved documentation standards, oversight, and training. In the course of this remediation, we identified an additional error caused by the control deficiency identified at year-end, as described in more detail in Note 3 Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements. We are implementing enhanced review procedures and documentation standards and our plan is to remediate this material weakness by the end of 2017, subject to there being sufficient opportunities to conclude, through testing, that the enhanced control is operating effectively.
