Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Nature of Business

Formation and Nature of Business

Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc., (“Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation which together with its wholly owned subsidiary company, EIG Investors Corp. (“EIG Investors”), its primary operating subsidiary company, The Endurance International Group, Inc. (“EIG”), and other subsidiary companies of EIG, collectively form the “Company”. The Company is a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions designed to help small- and medium-sized businesses succeed online.

EIG and EIG Investors were incorporated in April 1997 and May 2007, respectively, and Holdings was originally formed as a limited liability company in October 2011 in connection with the acquisition by investment funds and entities affiliated with Warburg Pincus and Goldman Sachs on December 22, 2011, of a controlling interest in EIG Investors, EIG and EIG’s subsidiary companies. On November 7, 2012, Holdings reorganized as a Delaware limited partnership and on June 25, 2013, Holdings converted into a Delaware C-corporation and changed its name to Endurance International Group Holdings, Inc. The Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock on October 25, 2013.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company has reviewed the criteria of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280-10, Segment Reporting, and determined that the Company is comprised of only one segment for reporting purposes.

Use of Estimates

U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates, judgments and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based on the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, judgments and assumptions used in preparing the consolidated financial statements, actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The more significant estimates reflected in these consolidated financial statements include estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed under purchase accounting related to the Company’s acquisitions and when evaluating goodwill and long-lived assets for potential impairment, the estimated useful lives of intangible and depreciable assets, stock-based compensation, certain accruals, reserves and deferred taxes.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and the notes to consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 are unaudited. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2014, and results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014. The consolidated results in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is primarily composed of cash due from credit card companies for unsettled transactions charged to subscribers’ credit cards. As these amounts reflect authenticated transactions that are fully collectible, the Company does not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company also accrues for earned referral fees and commissions, which are governed by reseller or affiliate agreements, when the amount is reasonably estimable.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets include deferred expenses for domain name registry fees that are paid in full at the time a domain is registered by one of the Company’s registrars on behalf of a subscriber. The registry fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the domain registration period. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the balance of deferred expenses for domain name registry fees was $22.8 million and $30.4 million, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost or fair value if acquired in an acquisition. The Company also capitalizes the direct costs of constructing additional computer equipment for internal use, as well as upgrades to existing computer equipment which extend the useful life, capacity or operating efficiency of the equipment. Capitalized costs include the cost of materials, shipping and taxes. Materials used for repairs and maintenance of computer equipment are expensed and recorded as a cost of revenue. Materials on hand and construction-in-process are recorded as property and equipment. Assets recorded under capital lease are depreciated over the lease term. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:


Software		Two years
Computers and office equipment		Three years
Furniture and fixtures		Five years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of useful life or remaining term of the lease

Software Development Costs

The Company accounts for software development costs for internal use software under the provisions of ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software” (“ASC 350”). Accordingly, certain costs to develop internal-use computer software are capitalized, provided these costs are expected to be recoverable. There were no such costs capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and there was $1.0 million of internal-use software development costs capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Goodwill

Goodwill relates to amounts that arose in connection with the Company’s various business combinations and represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable intangible and tangible net assets when accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to periodic review for impairment. Events that would indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, including a decline in value, a significant adverse change in certain agreements that would materially affect reported operating results, business climate or operational performance of the business and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other , (“ASC 350”), the Company is required to review goodwill by reporting unit for impairment at least annually or more often if there are indicators of impairment present. The Company has determined its entire business represents one reporting unit. Historically, the Company has performed its annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of each year. The provisions of ASC 350 require that a two-step impairment test be performed for goodwill. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of its reporting unit to which goodwill has been allocated to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is considered not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets and therefore no impairment existed as of those dates.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit, if applicable, requires the Company to make judgments and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions relate to, among other things, revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, future economic and market conditions and determination of appropriate market comparables. The Company bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable, but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.

The Company had goodwill of $984.2 million and $1,074.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively, and no impairment charges have been recorded.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s long-lived assets consist primarily of intangible assets, including acquired subscriber relationships, trade names, intellectual property and developed technology. We also have long-lived tangible assets, primarily consisting of property and equipment. The majority of the Company’s intangibles are recorded in connection with its various business combinations. The Company’s intangible assets are recorded at fair value at the time of their acquisition. The Company amortizes intangible assets over their estimated useful lives.

Determination of the estimated useful lives of the individual categories of intangible assets is based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in accordance with their estimated projected cash flows.

The Company evaluates long-lived intangible and tangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present and undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the fair value of the assets is determined and compared to the carrying value. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, then the carrying value of the asset is reduced to the estimated fair value and an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period the impairment is identified. No such impairment losses have been identified for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from selling subscriptions for cloud-based products and services. The subscriptions are similar across all of the Company’s brands and are provided under contracts pursuant to which the Company has ongoing obligations to support the subscriber. These contracts are generally for service periods of up to 36 months and typically require payment in advance. The Company recognizes the associated revenue ratably over the service period , whether the associated revenue is derived from a direct subscriber or through a reseller. Deferred revenue represents the liability to subscribers for advance billings for services not yet provided and the fair value of the assumed liability outstanding for subscriber relationships purchased in an acquisition.

The Company sells domain name registrations that provide a subscriber with the exclusive use of a domain name. These domains are obtained either by one of the Company’s registrars on the subscriber’s behalf, or by the Company from third-party registrars on the subscriber’s behalf. Domain registration fees are non-refundable.

Revenue from the sale of a domain name registration by a registrar within the Company is recognized ratably over the subscriber’s service period as the Company has the obligation to provide support over the domain term. Revenue from the sale of a domain name registration purchased by the Company from a third-party registrar is recognized when the subscriber is billed on a gross basis as there are no remaining Company obligations once the sale to the subscriber occurs, and the Company has full discretion on the sales price and bears all credit risk.

Revenue from the sale of non-term based applications and services, such as online security products and professional technical services, referral fees and commissions, is recognized when the product is purchased, the service is provided or the referral fee or commission is earned, respectively.

A substantial amount of the Company’s revenue is generated from transactions that are multiple-element services arrangements that may include hosting plans, domain name registrations, and cloud-based products and services.

The Company follows the provisions of the FASB, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, (“ASU 2009-13”), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force and allocates revenue to each deliverable in a multiple-element service arrangement based on its respective relative selling price.

Under ASU 2009-13, to treat deliverables in a multiple-element service arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. If the deliverables have standalone value upon delivery, the Company accounts for each deliverable separately. Hosting services, domain name registrations, cloud-based products and services have standalone value and are often sold separately.

When multiple deliverables included in a multiple-element service arrangement are separated into different units of accounting, the total transaction amount is allocated to the identified separate units based on a relative selling price hierarchy. The Company determines the relative selling price for a deliverable based on vendor specific objective evidence, (“VSOE”), of fair value, if available, or best estimate of selling price, (“BESP”), if VSOE is not available. The Company has determined that third-party evidence of selling price, (“TPE”), is not a practical alternative due to differences in its multi-brand offerings compared to competitors and the

lack of availability of relevant third-party pricing information. The Company has not established VSOE for its offerings due to lack of pricing consistency, the introduction of new products, services and other factors. Accordingly, the Company generally allocates revenue to the deliverables in the arrangement based on the BESP. The Company determines BESP by considering its relative selling prices, competitive prices in the marketplace and management judgment; these selling prices, however, may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances related to each deliverable. The Company analyzes the selling prices used in its allocation of transaction amount, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. Selling prices are analyzed on a more frequent basis if a significant change in our business necessitates a more timely analysis.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes , (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. There were no unrecognized tax benefits in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014.

The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires employee stock-based payments to be accounted for under the fair value method. Under this method, the Company is required to record compensation cost based on the estimated fair value for stock-based awards granted over the requisite service periods for the individual awards, which generally equals the vesting periods. The Company uses the straight-line amortization method for recognizing stock-based compensation expense.

The Company estimates the fair value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of highly subjective estimates and assumptions. For restricted stock awards granted, the Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award based on the closing trading price of its common stock on the date of grant.

Net Loss per Share

The Company considered ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share , (ASC 260-10) which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and, if there are dilutive securities, diluted income per share is computed by including common stock equivalents which includes shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, net of shares assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds, using the treasury stock method.

The Company’s potentially dilutive shares of common stock would be excluded from the diluted weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding as their inclusion in the computation would be anti-dilutive due to net losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, non-vested shares, stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units amounting to 7,482,513 and 8,442,330, respectively, were excluded from the denominator in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no new recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2014, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

Reclassifications

In 2013, the Company reclassified deferred consideration in the consolidated statements of cash flows from net cash used in investing activities to net cash provided by financing activities.

3. Acquisitions

The Company accounts for the acquisitions of businesses using the purchase method of accounting. The Company allocates the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Purchased identifiable intangible assets include subscriber relationships, trade names and developed technology. The methodologies used to determine the fair value assigned to subscriber relationships is typically based on the excess earnings method that considers the return received from the intangible asset and includes certain expenses and also considers an attrition rate based on the Company’s internal subscriber analysis and an estimate of the average life of the subscribers. The fair value assigned to trade names is typically based on the income approach using a relief from royalty methodology that assumes that the fair value of a trade name can be measured by estimating the cost of licensing and paying a royalty fee for the trade name that the owner of the trade name avoids. The fair value assigned to developed technology typically uses the cost approach. If applicable, the Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration payments in determining the purchase price. The contingent consideration is then adjusted to fair value in subsequent periods as an increase or decrease in current earnings in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

On January 23, 2014, the Company acquired the web presence business of Directi (“Directi”) from Directi Web Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“Directi Holdings”). Directi provides web presence solutions to SMBs in various countries, including India, the United States, Turkey, China, Russia and Indonesia. The acquisition provides the Company with an established international presence focused on growing emerging markets as well as the ability to expand its geographic footprint by taking its existing portfolio of brands to international markets.

The initial purchase price of $102.0 million consisted of the issuance of 2,123,039 shares of the Company’s common stock to Directi Holdings equivalent to $25.5 million, cash payments of $25.5 million including a $5.0 million advance payment paid in August 2013, and a promissory note of $51.0 million payable in April 2014. The principal amount of the promissory note was an estimate subject to increase if Directi met certain performance metrics for the period from July 1, 2013 through March 30, 2014. At March 31, 2014, the Company recorded an increase in its estimate of the amount payable on the promissory note by $4.3 million to $55.3 million, and recorded an additional $2.9 million for an estimated post-closing adjustment related to working capital and other assets acquired.

The estimated purchase price of $109.2 million has been allocated on a preliminary basis primarily to goodwill of $92.8 million, long-lived intangible assets consisting of subscriber relationships, developed technology, trade-names and leasehold interests of $8.2 million, $6.7 million, $5.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, property and equipment of $2.7 million, other assets of $4.7 million and working capital of $0.2 million, offset by deferred revenue of $3.0 million, other payables of $5.4 million and deferred tax liabilities of $3.3 million. The majority of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill reflects the value of an established international business and infrastructure that enables the Company to increase its market penetration in emerging markets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, $2.5 million of revenue from the Company’s 2014 acquisition was included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The Company has omitted earnings information related to its acquisitions as it does not separately track earnings from each of its acquisitions that would provide meaningful disclosure. The Company considers it to be impracticable to compile such information on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis since activities of integration and use of shared costs and services across the Company’s business are not allocated to each acquisition and are not managed to provide separate identifiable earnings from the dates of acquisition.

In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Directi, the Company may be obligated to make additional aggregate payments of up to a maximum of approximately $62.0 million, subject to specified terms, conditions and operational contingencies. The Company has paid $3.8 million of this amount in connection with the purchase of certain domain names by a subsidiary of the Company from a company associated with the founders of Directi Holdings pursuant to an agreement entered into as of April 30, 2014.

5. Fair Value Measurements

The following valuation hierarchy is used for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

•

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the Company’s only financial assets or liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis is the accrued earn-out consideration payable in connection with the 2012 acquisition of Mojo. The Company has classified its liabilities for contingent earn-out consideration related to the acquisition of Mojo within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which included probability weighted cash flows. The Company paid $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to the earn-out provisions. There was no change in fair value of the earn-out consideration from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The earn-out consideration in the table below is included in total deferred consideration in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Basis of Fair Value Measurements

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s goodwill balances from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 (in thousands):


Goodwill balance at December 31, 2013	$	984,207
Goodwill related to 2013 acquisitions		(2,870	)
Goodwill related to 2014 acquisitions		92,790
Foreign translation impact		175

Goodwill balance at March 31, 2014	$	1,074,302

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company completed the purchase accounting related to a 2013 acquisition and allocated an additional $2.9 million to long-lived intangible assets which had been included in goodwill on a preliminary basis. The Company has not recorded any impairment charges related to goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014.

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company reviews goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment on an annual basis and between tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount. The Company concluded there were no triggering events as of March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2014, other intangible assets consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):


	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Weighted Average Useful Life
Other Intangible assets:
Developed technology	$	190,730	$	41,301	$	149,429		9 years
Subscriber relationships		357,106		154,700		202,406		13 years
Trade-names		74,494		23,070		51,424		13 years
Intellectual property		2,820		583		2,237		8 years
Leasehold interests		314		39		275		1 year

Total March 31, 2014	$	625,464	$	219,693	$	405,771

The estimated useful lives of the individual categories of other intangible assets are based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangible assets over the period in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized based upon their estimated projected cash flows.

The Company’s amortization expense is included in cost of revenue in the aggregate amounts of $26.1 million and $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

7. Investments

As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the Company’s carrying value of investments in privately-held companies, was $6.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

In 2012, the Company assumed a 50% interest in another privately-held company, with a fair value of $10.0 million. On October 31, 2013, the Company sold 10% of its ownership interest in this privately-held Company, reducing its interest to 40%.

Investments in which the Company’s interest is less than 20% and which are not classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value unless it is determined that the Company exercises significant influence over the investee company, in which case the equity method of accounting is used. For those investments in which the Company’s voting interest is between 20% and 50%, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment balance, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize the Company’s share of net earnings or losses of the investee company, as they occur, limited to the extent of the Company’s investment in, advances to and commitments for the investee. These adjustments are reflected in equity income of unconsolidated entities, net of tax. The Company recognized net income of $0.1 million and $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, related to its investments.

From time to time, the Company may make new and follow-on investments and may receive distributions from investee companies. As of March 31, 2014, the Company was not obligated to fund any follow-on investments in these investee companies.

As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the Company did not have an equity method investment in which the Company’s proportionate share exceeded 10% of the Company’s consolidated assets or income from continuing operations.

8. Notes Payable

At December 31, 2013, and March 31, 2014 notes payable consisted of a first lien term loan facility with a principal amount outstanding of $1,047.4 million and $1,044.8 million, respectively, which bore interest at a LIBOR-based rate of 5.00%.

January 2013—November 24, 2013

On November 9, 2012, the Company entered into the November Financing Amendment (“November 2012 Financing Amendment”) for a new first lien term loan in the original principal amount of $800.0 million (“November 2012 First Lien”), a revolver in aggregate principal amount not to exceed $85.0 million (“Revolver”) and a new Second Lien credit agreement (“November 2012 Second Lien”), for an original principal amount of $315.0 million. In August 2013, the Company amended its November 2012 Term Loan for an additional $90.0 million of incremental first lien term loan before refinancing its debt in November 2013, as described below.

The loans automatically bore interest at the bank’s reference rate unless the Company gave notice to opt for LIBOR-based interest rate loans. For the November 2012 First Lien, the interest rate for a LIBOR based loan was 5.00% plus the greater of the LIBOR rate or 1.25%. The interest rate for a reference rate loan was 4.00% per annum plus the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, an Adjusted LIBOR rate or 2.25%. For the November 2012 Second Lien, the interest rate for a LIBOR-based loan was 9.00% plus the greater of the LIBOR rate or 1.25%. The interest rate for an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) Revolver loan was 5.25% per annum plus the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, an adjusted LIBOR rate or 2.25%. The interest rate for a LIBOR based Revolver loan was 6.25% per annum plus the greater of the LIBOR rate or 1.50%. The November 2012 First Lien also had a non-refundable fee, equal to 0.50% of the daily unused principal amount of the Revolver payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company made a mandatory repayment on the November 2012 First Lien of $2.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.1 million was included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Debt Refinancing—November 25, 2013

In November 2013, following its initial public offering, the Company repaid in full its November 2012 Second Lien of $315.0 million and increased the first lien term loan facility (“November 2013 First Lien”) by $166.2 million to $1,050.0 million, thereby reducing its overall indebtedness by $148.8 million. The Company also increased the Revolver by $40.0 million to $125.0 million. As of March 31, 2014 the Company had not drawn down on its revolver facility. The mandatory repayment of principal on the November 2013 First Lien was increased to approximately $2.6 million at the end of each quarter. There was no change to the maturity dates of the first lien facility and Revolver, which mature on November 9, 2019 and December 22, 2016, respectively.

Effective November 25, 2013, the interest rate for a LIBOR based interest loan was reduced to 4.00% plus the greater of the LIBOR rate or 1.00%. The interest rate for a reference rate loan was reduced to 3.00% per annum plus the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, an Adjusted LIBOR rate or 2.00%. There was no change to the interest rates for a Revolver loan. Interest is payable on maturity of the elected interest period for a LIBOR based interest loan, which can be one, two, three or six months. Interest is payable at the end of each fiscal quarter for a reference rate loan term loan or an ABR Revolver loan.

Interest

The Company recorded $21.0 million and $13.4 million in interest expense and service fees for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. In addition for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss included amortization of deferred financing costs of $53,000 and $19,000, respectively, and $0.6 million and $6,000, respectively, related to the accretion of present value for the deferred consideration and deferred bonus payments related to the HostGator acquisition. Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 also included $0.1 million related to capital lease obligations and $0.1 million related to a promissory note for a deferred acquisition liability.

As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, the interest rate on the LIBOR-based First Lien term loan was 5.00%.

The following table provides a summary of interest rates and interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 (dollars in thousands):

The November 2013 Financing Amendment contains certain restrictive financial covenants, including a net leverage ratio, restrictions on the payment of dividends, as well as reporting requirements. Additionally, the November 2013 Financing Amendment contains certain negative covenants and defines certain events of default, including a change of control and non-payment of principal and interest, among others, which could result in amounts becoming payable prior to their maturity dates. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral for the outstanding loan commitments with the exception of certain excluded equity interests and the exception of certain restricted cash balances and bank deposits permitted under the terms of the Financing Agreement.

2013 Stock Incentive Plan

The 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) of the Company provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company.

For stock options issued under the 2013 Plan, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant, and an estimated forfeiture rate is used when calculating stock-based compensation expense for the period. Stock options typically vest over four years and the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards and determine the related compensation expense. The assumptions used to compute stock-based compensation expense for awards granted under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2014 are as follows:


	2013
Risk-free interest rate		2.1	%
Expected volatility		60.0	%
Expected life (in years)		6.25
Expected dividend yield		—

The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with maturities similar to those of the expected term of the award being valued. The Company bases its estimate of expected volatility using volatility data from comparable public companies in similar industries and markets because there is currently limited public history for the Company’s common stock, and therefore, a lack of market-based company-specific historical and implied volatility information. The weighted-average expected life for employee options reflects the application of the simplified method, which represents the average of the contractual term of the options and the weighted-average vesting period for all option tranches. The simplified method has been used since the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to a limited history of stock option grants. The assumed dividend yield was based on the Company’s expectation of not paying dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company has estimated expected forfeitures of stock options based on management’s judgment due to the limited historical experience of forfeitures. The forfeiture rate was not material to the calculation of stock-based compensation expense. Unless otherwise determined by the Company’s board of directors, stock-based awards granted under the 2013 Plan, generally vest annually over a four-year period.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s stock options as of March 31, 2014 and the stock option activity for all stock options granted under the 2013 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands except exercise price):


	Stock Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (In Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value(3)
Outstanding at December 31, 2013		5,619,671		$	12.00
Granted		2,902		$	12.12
Canceled		(208,100	)	$	12.00

Outstanding at March 31, 2014		5,414,473		$	12.00		9.6	$	5,468

Exercisable at March 31, 2014(1)		294,144		$	12.00		9.6	$	297
Expected to vest at March 31, 2014		5,027,874		$	12.00		9.6	$	5,078
Exercisable and expected to vest at March 31, 2014(2)		5,322,018		$	12.00		9.6	$	5,375

(1)	This represents the number of unvested options outstanding as of March 31, 2014, which has been reduced using an estimated forfeiture rate and are expected to vest in the future.

(2)	This represents the number of vested options as of March 31, 2014 plus the number of unvested options outstanding as of March 31, 2014, which has been reduced using an estimated forfeiture rate and are expected to vest in the future.

(3)	The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated based on the positive difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2014 of $13.01 per share, or the date of exercise as appropriate, and the exercise price of the underlying options.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s restricted stock award activity for the 2013 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands except weighted-average grant date fair value price):

11. Redeemable Non-controlling Interest

In connection with a 2013 equity investment in a privately held company based in the United Kingdom, where the Company acquired a controlling interest, the agreement provided for a put option, for the then non-controlling interest (“NCI”) shareholders to put the remaining equity interest to the Company within pre-specified put periods. As the NCI is subject to a put option that is outside the control of the Company, it is deemed redeemable non-controlling interest and not recorded in permanent equity, and is being presented as mezzanine redeemable non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet, and is subject to the SEC guidance under ASC 480-10-S99, Accounting for Redeemable Equity Securities.

The difference between the $20.8 million initial fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest and the value expected to be paid upon exercise of the put option is being accreted over the period commencing December 11, 2013, and up to the end of the first put option period, which commences on the eighteen month anniversary of the acquisition date. Adjustments to the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest are charged to additional paid-in capital. The estimated value of the redeemable non-controlling interest as of March 31, 2014 was $21.3 million. Non-controlling interest arising from the application of the consolidation rules is classified within the total stockholders’ equity with any adjustments charged to net loss attributable to non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

12. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the United States for federal income taxes and in various state jurisdictions. The Company also files in several foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by tax authorities throughout the world. Since the Company is in a loss carry-forward position, the Company is generally subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carry-forward is available.

The Company recognizes, in its consolidated financial statements, the effect of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company has no unrecognized tax positions at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, that would affect its effective tax rate. The Company does not expect a significant change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Assessing the realization of deferred tax assets requires significant management judgment. In determining whether its deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable, the Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence, and weighted the evidence based on its objectivity. Evidence the Company considered included:

•

Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) incurred from the Company’s inception to March 31, 2014;

•

Expiration of various federal and state tax attributes;

•

Reversals of existing temporary differences;

•

Composition and cumulative amounts of existing temporary differences; and

•

Forecasted profit before tax.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company is in a cumulative pre-tax book loss position for the past three years. The Company has generated significant NOLs since inception and as such it has no U.S. carryback capacity. The Company has a history of expiring state NOLs. The Company scheduled out the future reversals of existing deferred tax assets and liabilities and concluded that these reversals did not generate sufficient future taxable income to offset the existing net operating losses. After consideration of the available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $55.8 million as of December 31, 2013. The provision for income taxes results from a combination of the activities of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company has recognized a tax benefit of $12.1 million and tax expense of $3.4 million, respectively in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to a provision for foreign taxes of $1.8 million and U.S. alternative minimum taxes of $0.6 million. The remaining balance of $1.0 million is primarily attributable to increase in deferred tax liabilities due to the differences in the accounting treatment of goodwill under U.S. GAAP and the tax accounting treatment for goodwill.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes shown on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss differs from amounts that would result from applying the statutory tax rates to income before taxes primarily because of state income taxes and certain permanent expenses that were not deductible, as well as the application of valuation allowances against U.S. and foreign assets.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had NOL carry-forwards available to offset future U.S. federal taxable income of approximately $214.2 million and future state taxable income by approximately $152.8 million. These NOL carry-forwards expire on various dates through 2033. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had NOL carry-forwards in foreign jurisdictions available to offset future foreign taxable income by approximately $33.7 million. India has loss carry-forwards totaling $2.1 million that expire in 2021. The Company also has loss carry-forwards in the United Kingdom of $31.6 million and these losses do not expire.

Utilization of the NOL carry-forwards can be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership percentage change limitations (“Section 382 limitation”). Ownership changes can limit the amount of net operating loss and other tax attributes that a company can use each year to offset future taxable income and taxes payable. In connection with a change in control in 2011 the Company was subject to Section 382 annual limitations of $77.1 million against the balance of NOL carry-forwards generated prior to the change in control in 2011. Through December 31, 2013 the Company accumulated the unused amount of Section 382 limitations in excess of the amount of NOL carry-forwards that were originally subject to limitation. Therefore these unused NOL carry-forwards are available for future use to offset taxable income. The Company is undertaking an analysis of changes in its ownership from 2011, through its initial public offering, to December 31, 2013. The preliminary conclusion is that there was not a Section 382 ownership change during this period and therefore the Company does not expect any NOLs generated through December 31, 2013, to be subject to any new Section 382 annual limitations on NOL carry-forwards. Therefore all unused NOL carry-forwards at December 31, 2013 are expected to be available for future use to offset taxable income.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

On February 28, 2014, the Company entered into a Master Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ace Data Centers, Inc. Under the terms of the Agreement which is retroactively effective as of January 1, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Company will license space at a data center facility in Provo, Utah.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that in the opinion of management, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

14. Related Party Transactions

The Company has various agreements in place with related parties. Below are details of related party transactions that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014.

The Company has certain contracts with entities for outsourced services that are related parties. The ownership of these entities is held directly or indirectly by family members of the Company’s chief executive officer, who is also a director of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, was recorded as expense in cost of revenue, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was recorded in engineering and development expense, $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was recorded in sales and marketing expense, and $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was recorded in general and administrative expense, relating to services provided to the Company under these agreements.

The Company also has an agreement with an entity that provides a third-party security application that is sold by the Company. The entity is collectively majority owned by the Company’s chief executive officer, and two investors in the Company, one of whom is a director of the Company, and who are beneficial owners, directly and indirectly, of equity in the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company recorded $0.7 million of expense for each period in cost of revenue related to this agreement.

15. Subsequent Events

With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of this filing.

On April 30, 2014, the Company paid the $55.3 million balance on the promissory note in connection with the acquisition of Directi bringing the total paid for the Directi transaction to $106.3 million. The Company estimates the remaining portion of payments for Directi to be an additional $2.9 million which will bring the total purchase price for Directi to $109.2 million.

On May 2, 2014, the Company made a strategic investment of $15.0 million in Automattic, an entity that provides content management systems associated with Wordpress. The investment represents less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Automattic and better aligns the company with one of its most important partners.

The Company funded these payments utilizing cash on hand, cash flow from operations and use of its revolving credit facility.

Using this multi-product, multi-engagement approach, we have been able to steadily increase our average revenue per subscriber, or ARPS, by selling additional products and services to our subscribers throughout their subscription period.

Our approach to addressing the needs of SMBs and meeting the challenges of serving the SMB market has enabled us to grow rapidly, to create long-term subscriber relationships and to build an attractive business model that generates substantial cash flow.

First Quarter Results

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was $122.7 million and $145.7 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 19% while our net losses were $21.7 million and $19.3 million, respectively, and our Adjusted EBITDA was $58.1 million and $59.1 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 2%. During the same three month periods, our unlevered free cash flow, or UFCF, was $45.1 million and $49.0 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 9%, while our free cash flow, or FCF, was $24.1 million and $35.5 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 47%.

Our revenue growth during the three months ended March 31, 2014 resulted from increases in our two key growth drivers, total subscribers and ARPS. We added 101,000 net new subscribers during the quarter before the impact of Directi, which added another 51,000 subscribers to our base, bringing the total number of subscribers on our platform to over 3.6 million. During the quarter, ARPS grew $1.28 from $12.90 at the end of the first quarter of 2013 to $14.18. Excluding the impact of Directi, our ARPS grew to $13.45 or $0.55 greater than the first quarter of 2013. The growth in both total subscribers and ARPS during the quarter was driven by increased investments in marketing, combined with strong renewals and product adoption rates.

Growth in Adjusted EBITDA on a year-over-year basis was impacted by the additional costs we incurred related to becoming a public company, as well as by our increased investments in marketing as compared to the first quarter of 2013. In 2013, our marketing expenditures were lower due to our focus on integrating our 2012 acquisitions of Homestead and HostGator into our technology platform. Typically, when we are integrating technology platforms, we curtail marketing spend and subscriber additions. Following the completion of the technology integration at the end of 2013, we have begun re-investing in marketing. We have also explored new ways to on-board subscribers such as through lead-in products like back-up and storage and have increased marketing related to products. We believe these additional marketing investments will position us for continued growth in subscribers and ARPS. While these investments are generally neutral on a cash flow basis in the first year, we expect based on our experience that they will become cash flow generative over the lifetime of the product renewal cycle.

Year-over year growth in UFCF was favorably impacted by the reduction in capital expenditures following the completion of the integration of Homestead and HostGator into our technology platform.

FCF grew 47% over the first quarter of 2013, as we benefited from economies of scale and reduced financing costs as a result of our November 2013 bank debt refinancing.

Growth Strategy

We believe total subscribers and ARPS will continue to be the key drivers of our revenue growth in the future, and we intend to drive growth in both of these metrics by leveraging the strengths of our approach to serving the SMB market.

Increasing Total Subscribers

We plan to increase total subscribers by continuing to invest in our multi-channel, multi-brand approach. We expect to continue to develop and refine our multiple subscriber acquisition channels, including our word of mouth referrals, our referral and reseller network, our partnership with Google and other strategic partners, as well as by expanding our geographic footprint and our internationally-sourced revenues, particularly in emerging markets, as more and more SMBs in these markets come online due to wider availability of internet infrastructure and mobile connectivity. The Directi acquisition has allowed us to expand our reach in these markets. Bluehost China went live in the first quarter, and we expect to develop and launch Bluehost and HostGator sites in several countries, including India, Turkey and Russia, during the second half of 2014. We are planning to add to our portfolio of brands, both organically and through acquisitions, to target specific segments of the SMB market.

Increasing Average Revenue per Subscriber

We plan to increase ARPS through our multi-product, multi-engagement approach by offering our subscribers additional products and services, particularly higher value items such as advanced hosting services, mobile and productivity solutions and professional services. As part of these efforts, we expect to continue to enhance our technology platform and services delivery architecture by investing in new data center space and capacity, new gear and the development of intellectual property. We also plan to build out our cloud-based applications and services to help us upsell to more price conscious subscribers in emerging markets as well as to increase the penetration of subscribers in mature markets. We also intend to invest in our domain business to take advantage of the impending availability of nearly 700 new top level domains, or nTLDs. By standardizing Directi’s domain-management platform across our existing brands, we expect to be able to better service our existing domains and more quickly make nTLDs available to our subscribers. Finally, we expect to expand our points of subscriber engagement to create additional opportunities to educate our subscribers about the value of our solutions, and to allow them to more easily access our products and services.

ARPS, Adjusted EBITDA, UFCF and FCF are non-GAAP financial measures. For more information regarding ARPS, Adjusted EBITDA, UFCF and FCF and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics

In addition to our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain “non-GAAP financial measures” described below to evaluate the operating and financial performance of our business, identify trends affecting our business, develop projections and make strategic business decisions. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flow that includes or excludes amounts that are included or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We monitor the non-GAAP financial measures described below, and we believe they are helpful to investors, because we believe they reflect the operating performance of our business and help management and investors gauge our ability to generate cash flow, excluding some recurring and non-recurring expenses that are included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to adjustments for integration and restructuring expenses. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Furthermore, interest expense, which is excluded from some of our non-GAAP measures, has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We urge you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Key Metrics

We use a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate the operating and financial performance of our business, identify trends affecting our business, develop projections and make strategic business decisions:

•

total subscribers;

•

average revenue per subscriber;

•

monthly recurring revenue retention rate;

•

adjusted net income;

•

adjusted EBITDA;

•

unlevered free cash flow; and

•

free cash flow.

The following table, which includes Directi for the three months ended March 31, 2014, summarizes these non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics for the periods presented (all data in thousands, except average revenue per subscriber and monthly recurring revenue retention rate):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2014
Financial and other metrics:
Total subscribers		3,315			3,654
Average revenue per subscriber	$	12.90		$	14.18
Monthly recurring revenue retention rate		99	%		99	%
Adjusted net income	$	42,668		$	32,910
Adjusted EBITDA	$	58,126		$	59,127
Unlevered free cash flow	$	45,141		$	48,998
Free cash flow	$	24,119		$	35,471

Total Subscribers

We define total subscribers as those that, as of the end of a period, are subscribing directly to our web presence solutions on a paid basis. Historically, in calculating total subscribers, we include the number of end-of-period subscribers we added through business acquisitions as if those subscribers had subscribed with us since the beginning of the period presented. Beginning with the first quarter of 2014 we will include subscribers we add through business acquisitions from the date of the relevant acquisition. We do not include in total subscribers, accounts that access our solutions via resellers or purchase only domain names from us. Subscribers of more than one brand are counted as separate subscribers. We believe total subscribers is an indicator of the scale of our platform and our ability to expand our subscriber base, and is a critical factor in our ability to monetize the opportunity we have identified in serving the SMB market.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we organically added over 101,000 net new subscribers. The increase in organic subscriptions is primarily as a result of growth in the market for our products and services, referrals, expanding our sales and our support organizations and training them to better utilize our data and analytical capabilities. In addition to our organic growth in subscribers, upon closing the acquisition of Directi, we acquired a base of over 51,000 subscribers bringing our total subscribers on platform to over 3.6 million as of March 31, 2014 versus 3.3 million as of March 31, 2013. The Directi subscriber base includes a significant number of resellers which impacts the total amount of Directi’s contribution to total subscribers.

Average Revenue per Subscriber

Average revenue per subscriber, or ARPS, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as the amount of revenue we recognize in a period divided by the average of the number of total subscribers at the beginning of the period and at the end of the period. In calculating ARPS, we exclude the impact of any fair value adjustments to deferred revenue resulting from acquisitions. Historically, we adjust the amount of revenue to include the revenue generated from subscribers we added through business acquisitions as if those acquired subscribers had been our subscribers since the beginning of the period presented. Beginning with the first quarter of 2014 we will adjust the amount of revenue to include the revenue generated from subscribers we add through business acquisitions from the date of the relevant acquisition. We believe including revenue from acquired subscribers in this manner provides a useful comparison of the organic revenue generated per subscriber from period to period. We believe ARPS is an indicator of our ability to optimize our mix of products and services and pricing, and sell products and services to new and existing subscribers.

ARPS increased from $12.90 as of March 31, 2013 to $14.18 as of March 31, 2014. Excluding the impact of Directi, ARPS increased from $12.90 as of March 31, 2013 to $13.45 as of March 31, 2014. This $0.55 increase in ARPS was a result of increasing demand for our solutions as we made good progress with product adoption rates from both new and existing subscribers. We expect ARPS to increase as we increase sales to existing and new subscribers by offering additional products and services, expanding our points of subscriber engagement and by facilitating easier access to our solutions. The Directi subscriber base includes a significant number of resellers which impacts the total amount of Directi’s contribution to ARPS.

The following table reflects the reconciliation of ARPS to revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP (all data in thousands, except ARPS data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2014
Revenue	$	122,741	$	145,750
Purchase accounting adjustment		3,276		7,021
Pre-acquisition revenue from acquired properties		512		—

Adjusted revenue	$	126,529	$	152,771

Total subscribers		3,315		3,654
ARPS	$	12.90	$	14.18
Adjusted revenue attributable to Directi		—		9,460
Adjusted revenue excluding Directi	$	126,529	$	143,311
Total subscribers excluding Directi		3,315		3,603
ARPS excluding Directi	$	12.90	$	13.45

Monthly Recurring Revenue Retention Rate

We believe that our ability to retain revenue from our subscribers is an indicator of the long-term value of our subscriber relationships and the stability of our revenue base. To assess our performance in this area, we measure our monthly recurring revenue, or MRR, retention rate. We calculate MRR retention rate at the end of a period by taking the retained recurring value of subscription revenue of all active subscribers at the end of the prior period and dividing it into the retained recurring value of subscription revenue for those same subscribers at the end of the period presented. We believe MRR retention rate is an indicator of our ability to retain existing subscribers, sell products and services and maintain subscriber satisfaction.

Our MRR retention rate was 99% for all periods presented.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss) plus (i) changes in deferred revenue inclusive of purchase accounting adjustments related to acquisitions, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss of unconsolidated entities, net loss on sale of property and equipment, expenses related to integration of acquisitions and restructurings, any dividend-related payments accounted for as compensation expense, transaction expenses and charges including costs associated with certain litigation matters, and preparation for our initial public offering, less (ii) earnings of unconsolidated entities and net gain on sale of property and equipment and (iii) the estimated tax effects of the foregoing adjustments. Due to our history of acquisitions and financings, we have incurred accounting charges and expenses that obscure the operating performance of our business. We believe that adjusting for these items and the use of adjusted net income is useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our company.

Our adjusted net income decreased from $42.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $32.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a deferred tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $12.5 million before we recorded a valuation allowance in a later period in 2013, offset by an income tax charge of $0.4 million. In the three month period ended March 31, 2014 we recorded a deferred tax expense of $1.0 million and additional domestic and foreign income taxes of $2.4 million. The decrease in our adjusted net income was also in part due to a higher depreciation charge of $3.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of expanding our business and data center infrastructure as we migrated customers from our 2012 acquisitions of HostGator and Homestead into our platform. The decrease in our adjusted net income was offset by lower interest expense of $8.1 million primarily due to our lower effective interest rate on our term loan debt, following our refinancing in November 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as adjusted net income plus interest expense, depreciation, and income tax expense (benefit). We manage our business based on the cash collected from our subscribers and the cash required to acquire and service those subscribers. We believe highlighting cash collected and cash spent in a given period provides insight to an investor to gauge the overall health of our business. Under GAAP, although subscription fees are paid in advance, we recognize the associated revenue over the subscription term, which does not fully reflect short-term trends in our operating results.

After adjusting both periods for the impact of the changes in deferred tax, depreciation and interest expense, as described above under adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.0 million from $58.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $59.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of increases in the number of subscribers on our platform, an increase in ARPS and achieving greater scale benefits. This was offset by incremental people and infrastructure related costs required to operate as a public company as well as increased marketing spend, which impacted our Adjusted EBITDA growth quarter over quarter.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow

Unlevered free cash flow, or UFCF, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as Adjusted EBITDA plus change in operating assets and liabilities (other than deferred revenue) net of acquisitions, less capital expenditures and income taxes excluding deferred tax. We believe the most useful indicator of our operating performance is the cash generating potential of our company prior to any accounting charges related to our acquisitions. We also invest in marketing, our largest operating expense, which may increase or decrease in a given period, depending on the cost of attracting new subscribers to our solutions. We also believe that because our business has meaningful data center and related infrastructure requirements, the level of capital expenditures required to run our business is an important factor for investors. We believe UFCF is a useful measure that captures the effects of these issues.

UFCF increased from $45.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $49.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily the result of lower capital expenditures offset by an increase in marketing and tax expense. While growth in new subscriber revenue is typically offset by marketing expense in the first year of subscription, these investments in marketing are generally neutral on a cash flow basis in the first year. In our experience, these investments become cash

flow generative over the lifetime of the product renewal cycle. We expect that these investments will be contributing to cash flow starting in 2015 as subscribers remain on platform, renew their subscription and buy additional products with minimal further marketing investment.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, or FCF, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as unlevered free cash flow less interest expense. We believe that this presentation of free cash flow provides investors with an additional indicator of our ability to generate positive cash flows after meeting our obligations with regard to payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness.

FCF increased from $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $35.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in FCF was primarily due to realizing economies of scale in the business and reduced financing costs following our IPO. This included reducing our overall term loan bank debt and a reduction in our effective interest rate as a result of our debt refinancing which occurred in November 2013. We expect our FCF to continue to benefit in future periods from the reduction in our term loan interest expense based on the current loan balance and interest rates.

The following table reflects the reconciliation of Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow to net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP (all data in thousands):

Components of Operating Results

Revenue

We generate revenue from selling subscriptions for our cloud-based products and services. The subscriptions we offer are similar across all of our brands and are provided under contracts pursuant to which we have ongoing obligations to support the subscriber. These contracts are generally for service periods of up to 36 months and typically require payment in advance at the time of initiating the subscription for the entire subscription period. Typically, we also have arrangements in place to auto renew a subscription at the end of the subscription period. Due to factors such as introductory pricing, our renewal fees may be higher than our initial subscription. We sell more subscriptions with twelve month terms than with any other term length. We also earn revenue from the sale of domain name registrations and non-term based products and services, such as online security products, and professional technical services as well as through referral fees and commissions. We expect our revenue to increase in future periods as we expand our subscriber base and increase our average revenue per subscriber by selling additional products and services throughout their subscription period.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes costs of operating our subscriber support organization, fees we pay to register domain names for our subscribers, costs of leasing and operating data center infrastructure, including personnel costs for our network operations, fees we pay to third-party product and service providers, and merchant fees we pay as part of our billing processes. We also allocate to cost of revenue the depreciation and amortization related to these activities and the intangible assets we have acquired, as well as a portion of our overhead costs attributable to our employees engaged in subscriber support activities. In addition, cost of revenue includes stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in support and network operations. We expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we expand our subscriber base, increase our levels of subscriber support, expand our domain name business and add data center capacity. Cost of revenue may increase or decrease as a percentage of revenue in a given period, depending on our ability to manage our infrastructure costs, in particular with respect to data centers and support, the revenue mix of our sales and as a result of our amortization expense.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is the difference between revenue and cost of revenue. Gross profit has fluctuated from period to period in large part as a result of revenue and cost of revenue adjustments from purchase accounting impacts related to acquisitions, as well as revenue and cost of revenue impacts from growth in our business. With respect to revenue, the application of purchase accounting requires us to record purchase accounting adjustments for acquired deferred revenue, which reduces the revenue recorded from acquisitions. With respect to cost of revenue, the application of purchase accounting requires us to defer domain registration costs, which reduces cost of revenue and record long-lived assets at fair value, which increases cost of revenue through an increase in amortization expense over the estimated useful life of the long-lived assets. In addition, our revenue and our cost of revenue have increased in recent years as our subscriber base has expanded. For a new subscriber that we bring on to our platform, we typically recognize revenue over the term of the subscription, even though we collect the subscription fee at the initial billing. As a result, our gross profit may be affected by the prices we charge for our subscriptions, as well as by the number of new subscribers and the terms of their subscriptions. We expect our gross profit to increase in absolute dollars in future periods while our gross profit margin may increase or decrease.

Operating Expense

We classify our operating expense into three categories: sales and marketing, engineering and development, and general and administrative.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense primarily consists of costs associated with payments to our network of partners, SEM and SEO, general awareness and brand building activities, as well as the cost of employees engaged in sales and marketing activities. Sales and marketing expense also includes costs associated with sales of products. In the last fiscal quarter of 2013 we broadened our investment in marketing expense to include new channels for acquiring subscribers through lead in products like storage and backup. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, we increased our investment in marketing and ramped up our investment in product marketing.

Sales and marketing expense includes stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in sales and marketing activities. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we continue to expand our business and increase our sales efforts. We also expect sales and marketing expense to be our largest category of operating expense for

the foreseeable future as we continue with our plans to develop and grow additional subscriber acquisition channels. Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue may increase or decrease in a given period, depending on the cost of attracting new subscribers to our solutions (our subscriber acquisition costs), changes in how we invest in different subscriber acquisition channels, changes in how we approach search engine marketing and search engine optimization and the extent of general awareness and brand building activities we may undertake as well as the efficiency of our sales force.

Engineering and Development. Engineering and development expense includes the cost of employees engaged in enhancing our systems, developing and expanding product and service offerings, and integrating technology capabilities, from our acquisitions. Engineering and development expense includes stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in engineering and development activities.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense includes the cost of employees engaged in corporate functions, such as finance, human resources, legal affairs and general management. General and administrative expense also includes all facility and related overhead costs not allocated to cost of revenue, as well as insurance premiums and professional service fees. We incurred additional expenses in preparing for our initial public offering, and will continue to incur additional expenses associated with being a publicly traded company, including increased legal, corporate insurance and accounting expenses, and the additional costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other regulations. General and administrative expense includes stock-based compensation expense for employees engaged in general and administrative activities. We expect that general and administrative expense will continue to increase in absolute dollars and may increase as a percentage of revenue as we further expand our operations and continue to operate as a public company.

Net Interest Income (Expense)

Interest expense consists primarily of costs related to, and interest paid on, our indebtedness. We include the cash cost of interest payments and loan financing fees, the amortization of deferred financing costs and the amortization of the net present value adjustment which we may apply to some deferred consideration payments related to our acquisitions in our calculation of interest expense. Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents balances. We expect net interest expense to be lower in future periods following a refinancing of our bank debt in November 2013.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

We estimate our income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements and the financial statements that are prepared in accordance with tax regulations for the purpose of filing our income tax returns, using statutory tax rates. This methodology requires us to record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a reversal of our existing deferred tax liability, which created a deferred tax benefit. We established a valuation allowance on substantially all of our deferred tax assets during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reported periods. We base our estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from the estimates, judgments and assumptions made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates, judgments and assumptions and our actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected.

We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates are the assumptions and estimates associated with the following:

•

revenue recognition,

•

goodwill,

•

long-lived assets,

•

depreciation,

•

amortization,

•

income taxes,

•

stock-based compensation arrangements.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2013. For further information on our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in Part I. Item 1. in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on February 28, 2014.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2014

Revenue


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
	2013		2014		Amount		%
Revenue	$	122,741	$	145,750	$	23,009		19	%

Revenue increased by $23.0 million, or 19%, from $122.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $145.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Of this increase, $2.5 million was related to revenues from our acquisition of Directi and $20.5 million was primarily due to an increase in subscribers on our platform as we added lead-in products such as back-up and storage and focused on marketing, an increase in demand for our solutions from both new and existing subscribers and increases in prices paid by our subscribers at renewals or after expiration of promotional periods. Consistent with our plans, as we completed the integration of the 2012 acquisitions of HostGator and Homestead onto our common integrated technology platform, we were able to increase our marketing spend and drive additional subscribers and also enhance the promotion of our products and services through improved business insight and analytics offered through the integrated technology platform.

Cost of Revenue


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013					2014					Change
	Amount		% of Revenue			Amount		% of Revenue			Amount		%
Cost of revenue	$	87,208		71	%	$	89,191		61	%	$	1,983		2	%

Cost of revenue increased by $2.0 million, or 2%, from $87.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $89.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Of this increase, $3.2 million, which included an amortization charge of $1.0 million, was attributable to the Directi businesses we acquired on January 23, 2014, $2.9 million was due to an increase in depreciation expense as a result of expanding our data center infrastructure during 2012 and 2013, $1.8 million was related to an increase in domain registration costs and $1.6 million was attributable to costs of third party services. Stock-based compensation expense increased by approximately $0.1 million from $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in data center expenses of $4.6 million resulting from the migration of HostGator and Homestead subscribers into our platform and a $3.0 million decrease in amortization expense.

Gross Profit


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013					2014					Change
	Amount		% of Revenue			Amount		% of Revenue			Amount		%
Gross profit	$	35,533		29	%	$	56,559		39	%	$	21,026		59	%

Gross profit increased by $21.0 million, from $35.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $56.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in our subscriber base due to expansion in our business and our monetization of those subscribers. Our gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased by 10 points, (or from 29% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2014). The increase in our gross profit as a percentage of revenue, quarter over quarter, was primarily attributable to the purchase accounting impacts related to the acquisitions of the HostGator and Homestead businesses in 2012, as well as the revenue and cost of revenue impacts from growth in our business. The application of purchase accounting requires us to record all acquired assets and liabilities, including deferred revenue and deferred costs at fair value which typically results in a lower book value at the date of acquisition. In addition, we record the fair value of long-lived assets which we amortize over their estimated useful lives.

Operating Expense


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013					2014					Change
	Amount		% of Revenue			Amount		% of Revenue			Amount			%
Sales and marketing	$	28,531		23	%	$	41,624		29	%	$	13,093			46	%
Engineering and development		6,140		5	%		4,953		3	%		(1,187	)		(19	)%

Total	$	47,767		39	%	$	62,058		43	%	$	14,291			30	%

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased by $13.1 million, or 46%, from $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $41.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition to investing in marketing expense for the acquisition of new subscribers, we are increasing our investing in product marketing. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, $8.3 million of the increased expense included investing in additional marketing that targets sales of product and $2.0 million related to direct marketing expense to increase our number of subscribers. Also, $1.7 million of the increase was related to expansion of the direct sales teams and their sales commission expense, $0.6 million was due to an increase in payroll and benefits and $0.3 million related to stock-based compensation expense, which increased from $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and $0.2 million related to an increase in depreciation expense.

Engineering and Development. Engineering and development expense decreased by $1.2 million, or 19%, from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Of this decrease, $1.3 million was due to rationalizing costs and realizing synergies from integrating our 2012 and 2013 acquisitions. This was partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense from $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense increased by $2.4 million, or 18%, from $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Of this increase, $2.4 million was attributable to increased stock-based compensation expense, which increased from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as we granted IPO stock awards. In addition, $1.3 million was attributable to increased expense associated with payroll and benefits and $0.6 million was attributable to other operational costs. These increases were offset by a $1.9 million decrease in transaction expenses. We incurred higher transaction costs in the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily related to acquisitions in Brazil and India.

Net Interest Income (Expense)


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Change
	2013			2014			Amount		%
Net interest income (expense)	$	(21,692	)	$	(13,552	)	$	8,140		38	%

Net interest expense decreased by $8.1 million, or 38%, from $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Of this decrease $7.7 million is due to lower interest expense resulting from our debt refinancing activities in November 2013, which lowered our aggregate notes payable and our effective interest rates. The decrease is also due to a $0.6 million reduction in the accretion of present value for the deferred consideration and deferred bonus payments related to the HostGator acquisition, which was paid in January 2014. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million related to capitalized lease obligations which were entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)


	Three Months Ended March 31,					Change
	2013			2014		Amount		%
Income tax expense (benefit)	$	(12,061	)	$	3,439	$	15,500		129	%

The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $15.5 million, or 129%, from $12.1 million benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $3.4 million expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease includes a net increase in our state and foreign income tax expense of $2.0 million and a net increase in our deferred tax expense of $13.5 million. The decrease in our deferred tax benefit from March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 primarily relates to the establishment of a valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2013. In both periods, we had nondeductible expenses primarily related to stock-based compensation, transaction costs and interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We have funded our operations since inception primarily with cash flow generated by operations and borrowings under credit facilities. In October 2013, we also raised funds from our initial public offering and used a portion of the net proceeds to reduce our overall indebtedness by $148.8 million.

As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $51.8 million and negative working capital of $234.2 million. In addition, we had approximately $1,044.8 million of indebtedness outstanding under our first lien term loan facility. In April 2014 we made an initial draw-down against our revolving credit facility in connection with funding our Directi acquisition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of March 31, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents were primarily held for working capital purposes and for required principal and interest payments under our indebtedness. A majority of our cash and cash equivalents was held in operating accounts. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including, but not limited to, our growth rate, the continued expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced products and services, market acceptance of our solutions, acquisitions and our gross profits and operating expenses. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements as well as our required principal and interest payments under our indebtedness, for at least the next 12 months.

The following table shows our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the stated periods (all data in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2014
Purchases of property and equipment	$	(11,505	)	$	(6,203	)
Principal payments on capital lease obligations		—			(885	)
Depreciation		3,925			7,046
Amortization		26,702			24,103
Cash flows provided by operating activities		15,486			37,987
Cash flows used in investing activities		(13,677	)		(24,580	)
Cash flows used in financing activities		(7,145	)		(28,616	)

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures on purchase of property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 were $11.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The higher expenditure in the three months ended March 31, 2013, included a significant and extraordinary investment in data center infrastructure to support the migration of subscribers from the 2012 HostGator acquisition to our systems. In addition, our capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2014, includes $0.9 million of principal payments under a three year capital lease for software of $11.7 million beginning in January 2014. The remaining balance payable on the capital lease is $10.8 million. We did not have any capital lease obligations in the three months ended March 31, 2013. We expect our total capital expenditures to increase consistent with revenue growth as we expand our business.

Depreciation

Our depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 increased from $3.9 million to $7.0 million. This increase was primarily due to expansion in our business by on-boarding acquisitions as well as investments in data center infrastructure as described above and leasehold improvements. The leasehold improvements were associated with new operating leases as we expanded and revamped our presence in Arizona, Utah, Texas, and Massachusetts.

Amortization

Our amortization expense, which includes amortization of other intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of net present value of deferred consideration, decreased by $2.6 million from $26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Of this decrease in amortization expense, $2.0 million was primarily due to lower expenses associated with customer relationships and trademarks related to acquisitions that occurred prior to March 31, 2013, partially offset by the increase of amortization expense related to intangible assets of businesses that have been acquired since December 1, 2013. The remaining $0.6 million was attributable to lower amortization expense of net present value of deferred consideration as a result of our acquisition of HostGator in July 2012, which had deferred consideration payments payable twelve and eighteen months after the date of the acquisition. The final payment was made in January 2014.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and changes in deferred taxes, and the effect of changes in working capital, in particular in deferred revenue. As we add subscribers to our platform, we typically collect subscription fees at the time of initial billing and recognize revenue over the terms of the subscriptions. Accordingly, we generate operating cash flows as we collect cash from our subscribers in advance of delivering the related products and services, and we maintain a significant deferred revenue balance. As we add subscribers and sell additional products and services, our deferred revenue balance increases. Our operating cash flows are net of transaction expenses and charges, including initial public offering expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 which consisted of a net loss of $22.5 million, offset by non-cash charges of $35.6 million, and a net change of $24.9 million in our operating assets and liabilities. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities included an increase in deferred revenue of $31.4 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 which consisted of a net loss of $21.7 million, offset by non-cash charges of $18.5 million and a net change of $18.7 million in our operating assets and liabilities. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities included an increase in deferred revenue of $19.7 million.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities consists primarily of purchase of property and equipment, acquisition consideration payments, and changes in restricted cash balances.

The majority of the cash used in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was to fund $18.1 million, net of cash acquired related to the purchase consideration for our acquisition of Directi. We also used $6.2 million of cash to purchase property and equipment and deposited $0.3 million with a payment processor.

The majority of the cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was to purchase $11.5 million of property and equipment, in particular for the migration of HostGator subscribers as previously described above under Capital Expenditures. We also used $2.5 million, net of cash acquired, for initial consideration for an acquisition in Brazil. This was partially offset by a $0.3 million return of restricted cash held by a payment processor.

Financing Activities

Cash flow from financing activities consists primarily of the net change in our overall indebtedness, payment of associated financing costs, payment of deferred consideration for our acquisitions and the issuance or repurchase of equity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash flows used in financing activities was $28.6 million, which includes $24.5 million of deferred consideration paid, the majority of which was for our HostGator acquisition, a quarterly principal payment of $2.6 million, $0.9 million of principal payments related to capital lease obligations and $0.6 million of payments related to issuance costs from our initial public offering which were unpaid as of December 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we entered into a three year capital lease agreement for $11.7 million for software licenses which require principal payments of approximately $0.9 million each quarter in 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash flow used in financing activities net of repayments was $7.1 million. We drew $9.0 million from our revolving credit facility and subsequently repaid $13.0 million under that facility, as well as $2.0 million under our first lien term loan facility. In addition, we paid $1.1 million of deferred consideration obligations for 2012 acquisitions.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our cash flows from operations and use of our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet the maximum payment obligations related to the Directi acquisition.

Credit Facility Borrowings

As of March 31, 2014, we had $1,044.8 million outstanding under our first lien term loan facility and there were no amounts outstanding under our $125.0 million revolving credit facility.

Our first lien term loan facility matures on November 9, 2019 and our revolving credit facility matures on December 22, 2016. Under our first lien term loan facility, we are required to make quarterly principal payments of $2.6 million.

As of March 31, 2014, the LIBOR-based interest rates on our first lien term loan facility and revolving credit facility were 5.00% and 7.75%, respectively, and the alternate base rate on the revolving credit facility was 8.50%. For more detail, see Part I, Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Interest Rate Sensitivity” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net Operating Loss Carry-Forwards

As of December 31, 2013, we had net operating loss, or NOL, carry-forwards available to offset future U.S. federal taxable income of approximately $214.2 million and future state taxable income by approximately $152.8 million. These NOL carry-forwards expire on various dates through 2033. As of December 31, 2013, we had NOL carry-forwards in foreign jurisdictions available to offset future foreign taxable income by approximately $33.7 million, including approximately $2.1 million in NOL carry-forwards that expire in 2021 and approximately $31.6 million of NOL carry-forwards in the United Kingdom that do not expire.

Utilization of the NOL carry-forwards can be subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership percentage change limitations (“Section 382 limitation”). Ownership changes can limit the amount of net operating loss and other tax attributes that a company can use each year to offset future taxable income and taxes payable. In connection with a change in control in 2011 we were subject to Section 382 annual limitations of $77.1 million against the balance of NOL carry-forwards generated prior to the change in control in 2011. Through December 31, 2013 we accumulated the unused amount of Section 382 limitations in excess of the amount of NOL carry-forwards that were originally subject to limitation. Therefore these unused NOL carry-forwards are available for future use to offset taxable income. We are undertaking an analysis of changes in our ownership from 2011, through our initial public offering, to December 31, 2013. The preliminary conclusion is that there was not a Section 382 ownership change during this period and therefore we do not expect any NOLs generated through December 31, 2013, to be subject to any new Section 382 annual limitations on NOL carry-forwards. Therefore we expect all unused NOL carry-forwards at December 31, 2013 to be available for future use to offset taxable income.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of April 30, 2014, we had outstanding indebtedness of $1,044.8 million of first lien term loan facility, which has a quarterly principal repayment of $2.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we paid $24.1 million of deferred consideration and $2.0 million of compensation expense in connection with the HostGator acquisition. On February 28, 2014, we entered into a Master Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ace Data Centers Inc., to license space at a data center facility in Provo, Utah. The Agreement provides for a term of ten years and has a total estimated financial obligation of approximately $102.0 million over the term of the Agreement. At March 31, 2014 we had estimated deferred consideration payment obligations of $58.2 million related to our acquisition of Directi, of which $55.3 million was paid on April 30, 2014. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Directi, we may be obligated to make additional aggregate payments of up to a maximum of approximately $62.0 million, subject to specified terms, conditions and operational contingencies. There have been no other significant changes in our contractual obligations from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2014.

We do not have any special purpose entities or off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include primarily foreign exchange risk, interest rate and inflation.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A significant majority of our subscription agreements and our expenses are denominated in US dollars. We do, however, have sales in a number of foreign currencies as well as business operations in Brazil and India and are subject to the impacts of currency fluctuations in those markets. The impact of these currency fluctuations is insignificant relative to the overall financial results of our company.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We had cash and cash equivalents of $51.8 million at March 31, 2014, the majority of which was held in operating accounts for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes, which include payment of principal and interest under our indebtedness. As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately $1,044.8 million of indebtedness outstanding under our first lien term loan facility and a revolving credit facility of $125.0 million, all of which was available.

The first lien term loan facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable credit spread plus, at our option, (a) adjusted LIBOR or (b) an alternate base rate determined by reference to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00%. The term loan is subject to a floor of 1.00% per annum with an applicable credit spread for interest based on adjusted LIBOR of 4.00%.

Under our first lien term loan facility, our revolving credit loans that bear interest at the LIBOR reference rate are subject to a floor of 1.50% per annum with the applicable credit spread for interest based on adjusted LIBOR of 6.25%.

We are also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum to the lenders based on the average daily unused amount of the revolving commitments.

Based on our aggregate indebtedness of $1,044.8 million as of March 31, 2014, a 100-basis-point increase in the adjusted LIBOR rate above the LIBOR floor would result in a $10.6 million increase in our aggregate interest payments over a 12-month period, and a 100-basis-point decrease at the current LIBOR rate would not result in a decrease in our interest payments.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2014, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and

procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently involved in any legal proceeding that in the opinion of our management, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business operating results or financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2014. There have been no material changes from the factors disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On January 23, 2014, we issued 2,123,039 shares of our common stock to Directi Holdings as partial consideration for our acquisition of the web presence business of Directi. The shares of common stock issued to Directi Holdings were valued at $12.00 per share for purposes of calculating the number of shares to be issued.

No underwriters were involved in this transaction. This issuance was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. The securities issued in this transaction are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds from Public Offering of Common Stock

On October 24, 2013, our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-191061) for our initial public offering was declared effective by the SEC. As of March 31, 2014, we estimate that we have used all of the net proceeds from the initial public offering to repay indebtedness under our second lien term loan facility, satisfy a portion of our payment obligations at the closing of our acquisition of the web presence business of Directi from Directi Holdings, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Current Information Not Otherwise Reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On May 7, 2014, our Compensation Committee approved the payment of a one-time bonus of $200,000 to Ronald LaSalvia, our Chief Operating Officer. As a result of receiving this bonus, Mr. LaSalvia will not be eligible for bonuses under our Management Incentive Plan for 2014.

Disclosures of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act

Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, or ITRA, which added Section 13(r) to the Exchange Act, we are required to disclose in our annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether we or any of our affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with individuals or entities that are subject to sanctions under U.S. law. Disclosure is generally required even where the activities, transactions or dealings were conducted in compliance with applicable law.

Warburg Pincus LLC, or WP LLC, affiliates of which (i) beneficially own more than 10% of our outstanding common stock and/or are members of our board of directors and (ii) beneficially own more than 10% of the equity interests of, and have the right to designate members of the board of directors of, Santander Asset Management Investment Holdings Limited, or SAMIH, has informed us that, during the reporting period, Santander Asset Management UK Limited, or Santander UK, an affiliate of SAMIH and WP LLC, engaged in activities subject to disclosure pursuant to Section 219 of ITRA and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. As a result, we are

required to provide disclosure as set forth below pursuant to Section 219 of ITRA and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. WP LLC has informed us that SAMIH has provided WP LLC with the information below relevant to Section 219 of ITRA and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.

At the time of the events described below, SAMIH and its non-U.S. affiliates, including Santander UK, may have been deemed to be under common control with us, but this statement is not meant to be an admission that common control existed or exists. We have no control over or involvement in the activities of SAMIH or its non-U.S. affiliates, including Santander UK, or any of its subsidiaries or predecessor companies, and we were not involved in the preparation of, nor have we independently verified, the information provided by SAMIH to WP LLC. The disclosure below does not relate to any activities conducted by us and does not involve us or our management. The disclosure relates solely to activities conducted by SAMIH and its non-U.S. affiliates, including Santander UK. We are not representing to the accuracy or completeness of the disclosure below, and we undertake no obligation to correct or update this information.

We understand that SAMIH’s affiliates intend to disclose in their next annual or quarterly report that an Iranian national, resident in the United Kingdom, who is currently designated by the United States under the Iran Financial Sanctions Regulations and the NPWMD designation, holds two investment accounts with Santander UK. The accounts have remained frozen throughout 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014. The investment returns are being automatically reinvested, and no disbursements have been made to the customer. Total revenue for the Banco Santander group in connection with the investment accounts was £23,017, while net profits in the three months ended March 31, 2014 were negligible relative to the overall profits of Banco Santander, S.A.

2.	GRANT OF LICENSE TO LICENSEE AND USE OF PREMISES

(a)

Grant of License . Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive license to access cabinet space in the Premises for the uses authorized in this MSA (the “ License ”). The cabinet space occupied by Licensee pursuant to the terms of the Agreements is hereafter referred to as the “ Licensed Space ”. The License is granted to Licensee solely for the Permitted Uses only during the Term, and shall be revocable upon the terms and conditions set forth in this MSA. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor, or other licensees of Licensor, may use the Premises during the Term, and that Licensor reserves the right to install and maintain conduits, cables and wiring along and adjacent to the ceiling above the Licensed Space and, in the case of raised flooring, the floor below the Licensed Space. Licensor agrees that Licensee’s Equipment shall be located on racks solely occupied by Licensee’s Equipment. To the extent possible, Licensor agrees that Licensee’s racks will be located in rows solely occupied by Licensee’s Equipment, or to the extent that Licensee does not occupy an entire row, only equipment belonging to Licensor and no other third party shall be located adjacent to Licensee’s Equipment. Access to the Licensee’s racks shall be restricted solely to Licensee, Licensor, and their designees.

(b)

Not a Grant of an Interest in Real Property . Licensee represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that (i) it does not have, has not been granted and will not own or hold by virtue of this MSA or otherwise any real property interest in the Licensed Space or the Premises other than the rights explicitly granted by the Agreements; (ii) Licensee is a licensee and not a tenant or lessee under the Agreements, and; (iii) Licensee does not possess any of the rights, privileges or remedies that a tenant or lessee would have under a real property lease or occupancy agreement. In no event will the Equipment be considered a fixture for any purpose.

(c)

Access and Permitted Use of Premises

Access. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreements, Licensee’s Authorized Persons will have access to the Licensed Space within the Premises for the Permitted Uses twenty four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year, or three hundred sixty-six (366) days in case of a leap year.

ii)

Authorized Persons . Licensee shall provide Licensor a list of persons, which may be modified by Licensee from time to time, who are authorized to access the Equipment in the Premises (“ Authorized Persons ”). In addition to any other liability provided for in the Agreements and applicable law, Licensee will be responsible and liable for all acts or omissions of Licensee’s Authorized Persons, and all such acts or omissions will be attributed to Licensee for all purposes under this MSA.

iii)

Permitted Uses . Licensee has the right to use the Licensed Space for the purposes of installation of the Equipment in the Licensed Space, maintaining the Equipment, operating the Equipment, removing the Equipment and other related activities (collectively, the “ Permitted Uses ”). Licensee is not permitted to perform any work, improvements, repairs, or access any areas outside its Licensed Space, other than in


		4 \| Page

common areas, and shall notify Licensor in advance in the event Licensee requires any work performed or any other access to other areas in the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to maintain the functionality of the Premises or prevent damage to Licensee’s Equipment, Licensee is permitted, with prior written notice to Licensor, to hire a licensed professional contractor preapproved by Licensor, including any of the contractors listed in Exhibit 5 or included on the list available at : [**], to perform any emergency repairs in the event that Licensor fails to respond to an issue within [**] of notice by Licensee. As long as Licensor is actively working to resolve an issue within the [**] time frame, Licensee may not bring in its own contractor to address the issue. Licensee represents, warrants and covenants that it has the legal right and authority (including regulatory consents, if needed) to operate, configure, provide, place, install, upgrade, add, maintain and repair the Equipment consistent with the terms of the Agreements. Unless otherwise agreed by Licensor in writing, and except as set forth on Exhibit 3, which sets forth the general services to be provided by the Licensor in connection with the Agreements, Licensee shall perform the Permitted Uses at its sole cost and expense. Licensee shall not use, allow or permit the use of the Licensed Space for any use or purpose other than the Permitted Uses.

iv)

Cross-Connections. Only upon the prior express written consent of Licensor may Licensee cross-connect the Equipment with equipment or services of any other customer of Licensor, or any sub-licensee within the Premises, or cross-connect Equipment with other Equipment separately located in such a way as to inhibit access by Licensor to any location within the Premises. All installation, other work and incremental charges relating to the establishment of cross-connections by Licensee shall be established under the reasonable control and direction of Licensor. All charges associated with authorized cross-connections are set forth in the MRC Schedule. In the event Licensee fails to obtain Licensor’s consent, Licensor may provide written notice to Licensee to take reasonable specified actions regarding the cross-connects, in Licensor’s sole discretion, including without limitation complete removal of the cross-connections. If, within [**] days after such notice, Licensee fails to comply with the notice, Licensor may remove the cross-connects or take other reasonable actions at Licensee’s reasonable expense.

(d)

Installation and Operation of Equipment .

Licensor shall provide individual cabinets, as agreed upon by both Parties, for Licensee to locate Equipment. All delivery, installation, replacement or removal work with respect to Equipment, including services of any third-party suppliers or contractors utilized in connection with such activities, shall be subject to review and approval by Licensor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. From time to time, Licensor may request, and Licensee shall promptly provide, information regarding the Equipment, systems, proposed rack/cabinet layout and interconnections/cross-connect diagrams, and the identification of Licensee’s suppliers or contractors. Approval by Licensor is not an endorsement of Licensee’s supplier or contractor, and Licensee will remain solely responsible for the selection of the supplier or contractor and all payments for supplies and construction work.


		5 \| Page

ii)

Unless otherwise provided in the Agreements, the Equipment installed by Licensee in the Licensed Space shall remain the property of Licensee, and Licensor shall have no rights of ownership or possession of such Equipment. Licensor has no obligation to install, maintain, operate, or repair any Equipment, unless specifically provided in the Agreements. Licensee shall not in any way damage the Premises or adversely interfere with other users in the Premises, or knowingly interfere with Licensor’s maintenance and use of the Premises in any manner.

COLOCATION SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

THIS COLOCATION SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (this “ SLA ”) is made effective as of the Effective Date and is the SLA as referenced in and is entered into pursuant to that certain Master Services Agreement by and between Licensor and Licensee of even date herewith (the “ MSA ”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this SLA shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the MSA.

AC POWER AVAILABILITY . AC power is guaranteed to be available to Licensee’s Licensed Space located in the Premises [**]% of the time (“ Power Availability Guarantee ”). AC power will be serviced in one of 3 ways: (a) utility power through uninterrupted power supply (“UPS”), (b) generator power through UPS, or (c) UPS only until generators engage. “ Power Unavailability ” means the simultaneous unavailability of [**] power feeds from the utility power feed to the cabinet delivered by any means, including, without limitation, power sockets, power whips, extension cords or portable power systems; provided that, Power Unavailability does not include unavailability caused by Critical Maintenance (defined below) arising from an event of Force Majeure or unavailability resulting from: (i) any [**] or [**], (ii) [**], (iii) any [**] or [**] of [**], (iv) any [**] or [**] by [**], or (v) any [**] by [**] to [**] by applicable [**] or [**]. For example, and without limitation, if [**] causes an [**], or if [**] does not hook up [**], any resulting [**] is [**] covered by [**]. Moreover, because power distribution units (“PDU”) are purchased by Licensee, Licensor shall not be responsible for the power delivery associated with Licensee PDU failures.

AC Power Availability Specifications . Power loss due to Licensee’s failure to adhere to the following is not covered by the SLA:

(i)

Unless otherwise provided in the Agreements, all Equipment of Licensee must be [**] rated. Licensee’s Cabling used by Licensee must meet national electrical and fire standards and any specifications provided by Licensor. For Licensee to have [**], Licensee must have Equipment capable of utilizing [**], and such Equipment must be [**] delivered to Licensee via a PDU.

(ii)

For any individual [**] volt [**] circuit, no individual phase at any time may exceed the [**] of the PDU to which the servers are connected. For example, if a PDU is a [**] volt [**] amp PDU, no individual phase may exceed [**] amps at any time. Likewise, if a PDU is a [**] volt [**] amp PDU, no individual phase may exceed [**] amps at any time. In the event Licensee fails to comply with this requirement, and due to safety concerns, Licensee agrees to remedy the non-compliance within [**] of being notified.


		1 \| Page

(iii)

Individual panels may not exceed [**] Amps of [**] power delivered at [**] volts. More particularly, each pod (a pod contains [**] cabinets in sections one and two and [**] cabinets in section three) has [**] panels, each representing one set of UPS units. Of the [**] panels in each pod, Licensee is allowed use of total capacity equal to [**] panels for [**] power, and the remaining panel capacity must be [**]. Each panel is [**] amps and [**] to the legal limit of [**] amps.

(iv)

In order to maintain [**], no single PDU may carry more than [**]% of the power load to each cabinet. In other words, power distributed to each cabinet must be [**] supplying power to the cabinet. The Power Availability Guarantee is inapplicable if the amount of power plugged into any PDU is greater than [**]% of total power to the cabinet [**]

(b)

Scheduled Maintenance for AC Power Availability . “Scheduled Maintenance” is defined as foreseeable periodic maintenance at the Premises performed by Licensor. In the context of AC Power Availability, Scheduled Maintenance will include any maintenance performed on either a [**] or a [**] power feed to Licensee’s Licensed Space. If it is reasonably foreseeable that Scheduled Maintenance will affect service (“Service Affecting Maintenance”), Licensor shall notify Licensee no less than [**] business days in advance and perform the Scheduled Maintenance at the time stated in the notice. For purposes of Service Affecting Maintenance on power systems, Service Affecting Maintenance means maintenance causing a power outage exceeding [**]. If Licensee objects to the time proposed for the Service Affecting Maintenance, Licensee must object, in writing, no later than [**] before the Service Affecting Maintenance is to be performed, and Licensor and Licensee shall agree on an alternative time. Licensee’s failure to timely object to the time stated in the notice shall constitute deemed approval. All Scheduled Maintenance that does not affect service may be performed at [**], without notice. Information regarding Scheduled Maintenance will be provided to Licensee’s Designated Point of Contact (defined below) by an Acceptable Method of Delivery. Licensor reserves the right to perform Critical Maintenance, as defined below, in addition to Scheduled Maintenance, at any time during an emergency situation, as determined in Licensor’s sole discretion provided Licensor immediately notifies Licensee and makes all reasonable efforts to minimize the impact on Licensee’s operations.

Power Availability Guarantee Credit. If the Power Availability Guarantee is not met during any given calendar month, as Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, Licensee will be issued a credit of $[**] for each cumulative [**] period that Power Unavailability exceeds the guaranteed amount, not to exceed $[**] per month.


		2 \| Page

Power Unavailability for any given month that is less than [**] will be rounded up to the nearest [**], and Power Unavailability that exceeds [**] will be rounded to the nearest [**]. All calculations related to this credit are subject to the following:

(i)

The hourly credit rate of $[**] and the $[**] maximum monthly credit assume [**]% use by Licensee of the racks in the Licensed Space and shall be reduced by a percentage equal to the [**] divided by the [**] licensed to Licensee.

(ii)

For any Power Unavailability event, the applicable credits shall be [**] based on a percentage equal to the [**] by the Power Unavailability event divided by the [**] in the Licensed Space.

(Example: If Licensee occupies [**] of [**] licensed racks, hourly rate is reduced by [**]% or $[**] and maximum monthly rate is reduced by [**]% or $[**] In the event Power Unavailability affects [**]% of the [**] racks in use, the hourly credit is [**]% of $[**] and maximum monthly credit is [**]% of $[**])

(iii)

Power Unavailability time accruals will cease as soon as power is available to Licensee from any source and not necessarily from the same distribution gear that is affected by the Power Unavailability event.

2)	DATA CENTER TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY; STATIC PRESSURE

(a)

Data Center Temperatures. Licensor will maintain the Premises within a “Standard Operating Temperature Range” which is herein defined as [**] degrees Fahrenheit plus or minus [**] degrees Fahrenheit, and the Premises temperature will in no event fall outside a range of [**] degrees Fahrenheit to [**] degrees Fahrenheit (the “Critical Temperature Range”). All temperature references herein are as measured at the supply air of computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units. Each individual CRAC unit will be measured separately to ensure proper operation of each unit. The Standard Operating Temperature Range is to boost efficiency in the data center and does not relate to Licensor’s inability to provide consistent temperature for the server environment. Excluded from this guarantee are temperature variations outside of the Critical Temperature Range that may result from Critical Maintenance (defined below). In addition, excluded from this guarantee are temperature variations outside the Critical Temperature Range, whether or not such variations affect server function, that may result from Licensee’s failure to adhere to requirements or restrictions set forth herein.

(b)

Data Center Humidity . The Parties acknowledge that the data center has been operating [**] and that Utah’s natural environment is within acceptable humidity specifications. Licensee’s Equipment must be designed to operate [**]. Notwithstanding, if Licensee desires the [**] Licensor will accommodate Licensee’s request at Licensee’s sole cost and expense.

(c)

Static Pressure. Sufficient under floor static pressure will be provided to accommodate Licensee Power as defined in Exhibit 3.

(d)

Temperature and Humidity Service Level Objective Response . If Licensee reports a temperature server alert for its servers in the Premises, Licensor will work with Licensee to promptly address and resolve the problem. Licensee may report temperature problems by calling Licensor’s Licensee Support Department at [**] or any other contact at Licensor. In addition, Licensor will commence action to respond to temperature alarms from the CRAC units within [**] and will promptly take steps as required to solve the problem. Licensee shall not take direct action in connection with immediately perceived temperature problems unless temperature reaches a temperature of greater than [**] degrees Fahrenheit for [**] and greater than [**] degrees Fahrenheit for [**], in which case Licensee may address the perceived problem by [**] etc. However, subject to paragraph 2(c)(iii) of the MSA, in no case shall Licensee tamper in any way with any Licensor Equipment, including without limitation, CRAC units, generators, chillers etc.

(e)

Scheduled Maintenance of HVAC System . If it is reasonably foreseeable that Scheduled Maintenance of the HVAC System will constitute Service Affecting Maintenance, Licensor shall notify Licensee no less than [**] business days in advance and perform the Service Affecting Maintenance at the time stated in the notice, which shall be between [**] Mountain Time Zone. If Licensee objects to the time proposed for the Service Affecting Maintenance, Licensee must object, in writing, no later than [**] before the Service Affecting Maintenance is to be performed, and Licensor and Licensee shall agree on an alternative time. Licensee’s failure to timely object to the time stated in the notice shall constitute deemed approval. All Scheduled Maintenance that does not affect service may be performed [**]. Information regarding Scheduled Maintenance will be provided to Licensee’s Designated Point of Contact by an Acceptable Method of Delivery.

Licensee Equipment .

(i)

Installation . Licensee’s installation of Equipment must not interfere with Licensor’s ability to maintain the standards set forth in this section. Specifically, and without limitation, Licensee will promptly respond to Licensor’s request to fix issues related to Licensee’s Equipment that affect Licensor’s ability to maintain pressure and temperature consistent with this SLA. Licensee agrees to never have more than [**] of [**] in a Licensee Row for more than [**]. “Licensee Row” is defined as [**] or more cabinets in a single row. In the event Licensee has more than [**] of [**] for more than [**], the [**] must be [**] by airlocks (provided by Licensee). If Licensee does not use airlocks to seal [**] aisles as outlined in this SLA during a period that exceeds [**], then the provisions of this temperature SLA do not apply.

(ii)

Equipment Temperature Specifications . Under no circumstance will Licensee use Equipment with specified maximum operating temperatures of less than [**] degrees Fahrenheit.

3)	LIMITATION ON TOTAL SLA MONTHLY CREDITS

IN NO EVENT WILL THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF CREDITS UNDER ALL OF THE ABOVE SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS FOR WHICH LICENSEE MAY BE ELIGIBLE IN ANY GIVEN MONTH EXCEED [**]% OF THE MONTHLY MRC DUE UNDER EXHIBIT 3.

4)	CRITICAL MAINTENANCE

“ Critical Maintenance ” is defined as maintenance that is necessary to address critical production issues or issues causing a critical part of the infrastructure to be unavailable or inaccessible, resulting in critical disruption of work or critical business impact, including, without limitation, issues caused by natural disasters, network security intrusions, acts of terrorism, or emergency maintenance performed by Licensor’s service providers, in addition to issues requiring maintenance to ensure safety of Licensor employees.

5)	NOTIFICATION AND SUPPORT RESPONSE

EXHIBIT 3

COLOCATION GENERAL SERVICE & MRC SCHEDULE

DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Exhibit 3, the following definitions shall apply:

“Redundant Power” means [**] MW of power sufficient to provide [**] to any single pair of UPS units in the event of their failure, as follows: [**]750 kilowatt (kW) UPS units ([**] sets of [**]), each functioning at no greater than [**]% capacity, will allow any pair of UPS units to provide redundancy to any failed pair of UPS units. In other words, so long as no UPS pair operates at more than [**]% capacity, UPS [**] backs up [**] & [**] UPS [**] backs up [**] & [**]; and UPS [**] backs up [**] & [**]. Therefore, notwithstanding the [**] MW of Redundant Power, each pair of UPS units functioning as a source of both [**] and [**] power at no greater than a [**]% load will ensure [**] redundancy to the [**] MW of [**] power.

“ Total Data Center Power ” means primary power of [**] megawatts (MW) and Redundant Power.

“Licensee Power” means the percentage of Total Data Center Power that is available to Licensee, which is equal to the percentage that Licensee’s total data center occupancy bears to total data center capacity. For example, if Licensee [**] racks, or [**]% of [**], Licensee’s power availability would be [**] MW of the Total Data Center Power.

1.	General Services. Licensor shall provide to Licensee the following general services during the Term of the Agreements (collectively, the “General Services”) at [**] additional cost:

(a)

App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder with the result that the investment in either the Landlord or the Tenant is prohibited by law or either party is in violation of law.

(c) Each of the Landlord and the Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that its inclusion on the List at any time during the Lease Term shall be a material default of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Landlord nor the Tenant shall permit the Premises or any portion thereof to be used or occupied by any person or entity on the List or by any Embargoed Person (on a permanent, temporary or transient basis), and any such use or occupancy of the Premises by any such person or entity shall be a material default of the Lease.”

9. Brokers . Landlord and Tenant warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any broker, agent or finder in connection with this Amendment except Jones Lang LaSalle and CB Richard Ellis (the “ Brokers ”) and/or representatives of Landlord and Tenant.

10. Lease Ratification . This instrument and all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be considered for all purposes to be incorporated into and made part of the Original Lease. The Original Lease and each provision, covenant, condition, obligation, right and power contained therein is hereby ratified and confirmed, and, as modified hereby, shall continue in full force and effect. All references appearing in the Original Lease and in any related instruments shall be amended and read hereafter to be references to the Original Lease as amended by this Amendment. In the event of any inconsistencies or conflicts between other provisions of the Original Lease and the provisions of this Amendment, the provisions hereof shall govern and control. Except as specifically amended in this Amendment, the Lease is and shall remain in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, terminated or assigned.

11. Independence of Covenants . Landlord’s and Tenant’s covenants in the Lease are independent and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that its covenant to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent is independent of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, and that in the event that Tenant shall have a claim against Landlord, Tenant shall not have the right to deduct the amount allegedly owed to Tenant from any Base Rent or Additional Rent due under the Lease, it being understood that Tenant’s sole remedy for recovering upon such claim shall be to bring an independent legal action against Landlord.

12. Authority . Each party represents and warrants to the other that such party and the person signing on its behalf are duly authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment and that this Amendment constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation.

13. Execution . This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument. The parties agree that this Amendment may be transmitted between them by facsimile machine or electronic mail and the parties intend that a faxed or emailed Amendment containing either the original and/or copies of the signature of all parties shall constitute a binding Amendment.

14. Governing Law/Binding Effect . The Lease and this Amendment and the rights and obligations of both parties thereunder and hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Landlord and Tenant and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns.

15. Effective Date . The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises. This Amendment shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery of this Amendment by all of the parties hereto and approval by Landlord’s lender.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the first date written above.
