Ltd., Monotype Hong Kong Ltd. and Monotype KK.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year or for any future periods.

In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 has not changed.

3. Derivative Financial Instruments

We incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to certain customers that are invoiced in U.S. dollars, but have the contractual option to make an equivalent payment in their own functional currencies at a specified exchange rate as of a specified date. In the period from that date, until payment in the customer’s functional currency is received and converted into U.S. dollars, we can incur unrealized gains and losses. We also incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses on certain intercompany assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We are currently utilizing 30-day forward contracts to mitigate our exposure on these currency fluctuations. These contracts are generally set to expire and are settled at month end. The instruments are not designated as hedging instruments, and accordingly, the gain or loss is recognized upon cash settlement and is included in loss on derivatives in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had one contract outstanding to purchase and sell two different currencies forward, which was entered into on those dates. See Note 4 for details regarding the fair value of these instruments.

The following table presents the losses on our derivative financial instruments which are included in loss on derivatives in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

4. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or market corroborated inputs.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available and requires the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value, classified according to the three categories described above (in thousands):


	Fair Value Measurement at March 31, 2014
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Assets:
Cash equivalents—money market funds	$	6,070	$	6,070	$	—	$	—
Cash equivalents—commercial paper		7,498		—		7,498		—
Cash equivalents—corporate bonds		4,881		—		4,881		—

Total assets	$	18,449	$	6,070	$	12,379	$	—


Liabilities:
Contingent acquisition consideration	$	1,971	$	—	$	—	$	1,971

Total liabilities	$	1,971	$	—	$	—	$	1,971


	Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2013
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Cash equivalents—money market funds	$	832	$	832	$	—	$	—
Cash equivalents—commercial paper		8,998		—		8,998		—
Cash equivalents—corporate bonds		8,585		—		8,585		—

Total assets	$	18,415	$	832	$	17,583	$	—

Liabilities:
Contingent acquisition consideration	$	2,302	$	—	$	—	$	2,302

Total liabilities	$	2,302	$	—	$	—	$	2,302

The Company’s recurring fair value measures relate to short-term investments, which are classified as cash equivalents, derivative instruments and contingent consideration. The fair value of our cash equivalents are either based on quoted prices for similar assets or other observable inputs such as yield curves at commonly quoted intervals and other market corroborated inputs. The fair value of our derivative instruments is based on quoted market prices from various banking institutions or an independent third party provider for similar instruments. In determining the fair value, we consider our non-performance risk and that of our counterparties. At March 31, 2014, we had one 30-day forward contract to sell 3.1 million British pounds sterling and purchase $5.1 million that together, had an immaterial fair value. At December 31, 2013, we had one 30-day forward contract outstanding to sell 3.0 million British pounds sterling and purchase $5.0 million that together, had an immaterial fair value.

For the contingent acquisition consideration, the Company estimated the fair value of the liability by probability weighting the range of possible achievement of the criteria upon which the contingent consideration to be paid will be determined. The resulting estimated amount was then adjusted to its estimated net present value based upon a present value factor that was derived by applying a risk adjusted discount rate over the applicable contingency period. The contingent acquisition consideration decreased at March 31, 2014, as compared to December 31, 2013, as a result of a $0.4 million payment based upon achievement of the criteria which is included in acquisition of business, net of cash acquired in our consolidate statement of cash flows. This was partially offset by the accretion of the net present value adjustment.

The Company’s non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities subject to non-recurring measurements include goodwill and intangible assets.

5. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):


		March 31, 2014							December 31, 2013
	Weighted- Average Amortization Period (Years)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Balance		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Balance

Total		$	160,824	$	(86,702	)	$	74,122	$	160,803	$	(84,119	)	$	76,684

6. Debt

On July 13, 2011 the Company entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, (“Credit Facility”), which provides the Company with a five-year, $120.0 million secured revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate based upon, at the Company’s option, either LIBOR or the base rate (which is the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) 0.5% plus the overnight federal funds rate, and (iii) 1.0% in excess of the three-month LIBOR rate), plus in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is either 1.5% or 2.0% per annum, and the applicable margin for base rate loans, based on the applicable leverage ratio, is either 0.5% or 1.0% per

annum. At March 31, 2014 our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 3.75% for prime. At March 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility. The Company is required to pay an unused line fee equal to 0.375% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding letters of credit, if any. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants which include (i) a maximum ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA of 3.00:1.00, and (ii) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00. Adjusted EBITDA, under the Credit Facility, is defined as consolidated net earnings (or loss), plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and share based compensation expense, plus acquisition expenses not to exceed $2.0 million, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cash non-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cash non-operating gains and other non-cash gains; provided however that the aggregate of all cash non-operating expense shall not exceed $250 thousand and all such fees, costs and expenses shall not exceed $1.5 million on a trailing twelve months basis. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the Lenders under the Credit Facility to declare all amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and places limits on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, transact with affiliates and alter its business. We were in compliance with all covenants under our Credit Facility as of March 31, 2014.

7. Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Our German subsidiary maintains an unfunded defined benefit pension plan which covers substantially all employees who joined the company prior to the plan’s closure to new participants in 2006. Participants are entitled to benefits in the form of retirement, disability and surviving dependent pensions. Benefits generally depend on years of service and the salary of the employees.

The components of net periodic benefit cost included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Service cost	$	30	$	29

Reported income tax provision	$	5,108		37.7	%	$	4,231		32.9	%

As of March 31, 2014, the reserve for uncertain tax positions was approximately $6.3 million. Of this amount, $3.7 million is recorded as a reduction of deferred tax assets and $2.6 million is classified as long term liabilities.

9. Net Income Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share, diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the following two approaches:

Assume exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method.

Assume exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method, but assume participating securities (unvested restricted stock) are not vested and allocate earnings to common shares and participating securities using the two-class method.

For the periods presented the two-class method was used in the computation of diluted net income per share, as the result was more dilutive. The following presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic net income per share and a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of diluted net income per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Share repurchases

On October 23, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common shares over the next two years. Intended to offset shareholder dilution, the Company expects purchases under the program will be made periodically, on the open market as business and market conditions warrant. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at management’s and/or the Board of Director’s discretion. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has repurchased a total of 302,091 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $9.0 million, including brokers’ fees. As of December 31, 2013, the Company purchased 75,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.2 million, including brokers’ fees.

Share Based Compensation

We account for share based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement of compensation costs at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. The following presents the impact of share based compensation expense on our condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Total expensed		2,260		1,749
Property and equipment		23		—

Total share based compensation	$	2,283	$	1,749

In the first quarter of 2014, approximately $23 thousand of share based compensation was capitalized as part of an internal software project, and this amount is included in property and equipment, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $26.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to employees and directors unvested stock options and restricted stock awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

11. Segment Reporting

We view our operations and manage our business as one segment: the development, marketing and licensing of technologies and fonts. Factors used to identify our single segment include the financial information available for evaluation by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. While our technologies and services are sold into two principal markets, Creative Professional and OEM, expenses and assets are not formally allocated to these market segments, and operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources. The following table presents revenue for these two major markets (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Creative Professional	$	17,719	$	15,332
OEM		28,353		26,707

Total	$	46,072	$	42,039

Geographic segment information

The Company attributes revenue to geographic areas based on the location of our subsidiary receiving such revenue. For example, licenses may be sold to large international companies which may be headquartered in South Korea, but the sales are received and recorded by our subsidiary located in the United States. In this example, the revenue would be reflected in the United States totals in the table below. We market our products and services through offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan. The following summarizes revenue by location (in thousands of dollars, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014					2013
	Sales		% of Total			Sales		% of Total
United States	$	23,936		52.0	%	$	24,147		57.4	%
United Kingdom		2,693		5.8			1,383		3.3

Total	$	255,060	$	256,602

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be a party to various claims, suits and complaints. We do not believe that there are claims or legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Licensing Warranty

Under our standard license agreement with our OEM customers, we warrant that the licensed technologies are free of infringement claims of intellectual property rights and will meet the specifications as defined in the licensing agreement for a specified period, typically one year. Under the licensing agreements, liability for such indemnity obligations is limited generally to a maximum of total arrangement fee; however, exceptions have been made on a case-by-case basis, increasing the maximum potential liability to agreed upon amounts at the time the contract is entered into. We have never incurred costs payable to a customer or business partner to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these warranties, and as a result, management believes the estimated fair value of these warranties is minimal. Accordingly, there are no liabilities recorded for these warranties as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

13. Subsequent Events

Acquisition

On April 7, 2014, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Mark Boulton Design Limited, a privately-held Web design studio located in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, for approximately $0.8 million in cash. The Company issued approximately $1.0 million in restricted stock awards in connection with the acquisition, which vest based upon continued employment over four years. Following the acquisition, Mark Boulton Design Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Seven former employees of Mark Boulton Design Limited joined the Company in connection with the acquisition.

Dividend Declaration

On April 28, 2014 the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.08 per share quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date is set for July 1, 2014 and the dividend is payable to shareholders of record on July 21, 2014. Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and depend on actual cash from operations, the Company’s financial condition and capital requirements and any other factors the Company’s Board of Directors may consider relevant. Future dividend declarations, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased 174,939 shares of common stock for $5.1 million in the period of April 1 to April 28, 2014, at an average price per share of $28.46. The Company purchased these shares on the open market at prevailing market prices and in accordance with its previously announced share repurchase program (“Plan”). At April 28, 2014, $36.0 million remains for future purchase under the Plan.

We have based these forward looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The outcome of the events described in these forward looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, you should not rely upon forward looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. The forward looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Overview

We are a leading provider of type, technology and expertise for creative applications and consumer electronics, or CE, devices. Our software technologies have been widely deployed across, and embedded in a range of CE devices, including laser printers, digital copiers, mobile phones, e-book readers, tablets, automotive displays, digital cameras, navigation devices, digital televisions, set-top boxes and consumer appliances, as well as in numerous software applications and operating systems. In the laser printer market, we have worked together with industry leaders for over 20 years to provide critical components embedded in printing standards. The Company also provides printer drivers, page description language interpreters, printer user interface technology and color imaging solutions to printer manufacturers and OEMs (original equipment manufacturers). Our scaling, compression, text layout, printer driver and color technologies solve critical text imaging issues for CE device manufacturers by rendering high quality text on low resolution and memory constrained CE devices. We offer more than 19,000 typeface designs, and include some of the world’s most widely used designs, such as the Times New Roman^®, Helvetica^®, ITC Franklin Gothic™ and Droid™ typefaces, and support more than 250 Latin and non-Latin languages. Our e-commerce websites, including myfonts.com, fonts.com and linotype.com, which attracted more than 68 million visits in 2013 from over 200 countries and territories, offer thousands of high-quality font products, in some cases more than 162,000, including our own fonts from the Monotype Libraries as well as fonts from third parties.

Sources of Revenue

We derive revenue from two principal sources: licensing our fonts and font related services to creative and business professionals, which we refer to as our Creative Professional revenue, and licensing our text imaging solutions to CE device manufacturers and independent software vendors, which we refer to as our OEM revenue. We derive our Creative Professional revenue primarily from multinational corporations, graphic designers, media organizations, advertisers, printers and publishers. We derive our OEM revenue primarily from CE device manufacturers. Some of our revenue streams, particularly custom revenue where spending is largely discretionary in nature, have historically been and we expect them to continue to be in the future, susceptible to weakening economic conditions.

Geographic revenue, which is based on the location of our subsidiary receiving such revenue, is in the table below:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014					2013
	Sales		% of Total			Sales		% of Total
	(In millions of dollars, except percentages)
United States	$	23,936		52.0	%	$	24,147		57.4	%
United Kingdom		2,693		5.8			1,383		3.3
Germany		4,477		9.7			3,620		8.6
Japan		14,714		32.0			12,726		30.3
Other Asia		252		0.5			163		0.4

Total	$	46,072		100.0	%	$	42,039		100.0	%

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, sales by our subsidiaries located outside the United States comprised 48.0% and 42.6%, respectively, of our total revenue. We expect that sales by our international subsidiaries will continue to represent a substantial portion of our revenue for the foreseeable future. Future international revenue will depend on the continued use and expansion of our text imaging solutions worldwide.

We derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of customers, in particular manufacturers of laser printers and consumer electronics. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our top ten licensees by revenue accounted for approximately 39.3% and 40.4% of our total revenue, respectively. Although no one customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013, if we are unable to maintain relationships with major customers or establish relationships with new customers, our licensing revenue will be adversely affected.

Creative Professional Revenue

Our Creative Professional revenue is derived from font licenses, font related services and from custom font design services. We license fonts directly to end-users through our e-commerce websites, via telephone, email and indirectly through third-party resellers. Font related services refer to our web font services and web design tools from our acquisition of Design by Front. We also license fonts and provide custom font design services to graphic designers, advertising agencies, media organizations and corporations. We refer to direct, indirect and custom revenue, as non-web revenue, and refer to revenue that is derived from our websites, as web revenue.

Revenue from font licenses to our e-commerce customers is recognized upon payment by the customer and electronic shipment of the software embodying the font. Revenue from font licenses to other customers is recognized upon shipment of the

software embodying the font and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue from resellers is recognized upon notification from the reseller that our font product has been licensed and when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Custom font design services are generally recognized upon delivery. Font related service revenue is mainly subscription based and, from time-to-time, it may contain software as a service. The subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period. We consider web server and commercial rights to online fonts as recurring revenue and it is recognized upon invoicing and proof of font delivery, when all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Contract accounting is used where services are deemed essential to the software.

OEM Revenue

Our OEM revenue is derived substantially from per-unit royalties received for printer imaging and printer driver, or printer products, and display imaging products. Under our licensing arrangements we typically receive a royalty for each product unit incorporating our text imaging solutions that is shipped by our OEM customers. We also receive OEM revenue from fixed fee licenses with certain of our OEM customers. Fixed fee licensing arrangements are not based on units the customer ships, but instead, customers pay us on a periodic basis for use of our typefaces and technology. Although significantly less than royalties from per-unit shipments and fixed fees from OEM customers, we also receive revenue from software application and operating systems vendors, who include our typefaces and technology in their products, and for font development. Many of our per-unit royalty licenses continue for the duration that our OEM customers ship products that include our technology, unless terminated for breach. Other licenses have terms that typically range from three to five years, and usually provide for automatic or optional renewals. We recognize revenue from per-unit royalties in the period during which we receive a royalty report from a customer, typically one quarter after royalty-bearing units are shipped, as we do not have the ability to estimate the number of units shipped by our customers. Revenue from fixed fee licenses is generally recognized when it is billed to the customer, so long as the product has been delivered, the license fee is fixed and non-refundable and collection is probable. OEM revenue also includes project-related agreements for which contract accounting may be used.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists of font license fees that we pay on certain fonts that are owned by third parties, allocated internal engineering expense and overhead costs directly related to custom design services. License fees that we pay to third parties are typically based on a percentage of our Creative Professional and OEM revenue and do not involve minimum fees. Our cost of OEM revenue is typically lower than our cost of Creative Professional revenue because we own a higher percentage of the fonts licensed to our OEM customers, provide value-added technology and have negotiated lower royalty rates on the fonts we license from third parties because of volume. The cost of our custom design service revenue is substantially higher than the cost of our other revenue and, as a result, our gross margin varies from period-to-period depending on the level of custom design revenue recorded.

Cost of revenue also includes amortization of acquired technology, which we amortize over 8 to 15 years. For purposes of amortizing acquired technology we estimate the remaining useful life of the technology based upon various considerations, including our knowledge of the technology and the way our customers use it. We use the straight-line method to amortize our acquired technology as there is no reliable evidence to suggest that we should expect any other pattern of amortization than an even pattern, and we believe this best reflects the expected pattern of economic usage.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit percentage is influenced by a number of factors including product mix, pricing and volume at any particular time. However, our cost of OEM revenue is typically lower than our cost of Creative Professional revenue because we own a higher percentage of the fonts licensed to our OEM customers, provide value-added technology and have negotiated lower royalty rates on the fonts we license from third parties because of volume. Within our Creative Professional business, the cost of our custom design service revenue is substantially higher than the cost of our other revenue. As a result, our gross profit varies from period-to-period depending on the mix between, and within, Creative Professional and OEM revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There has been no material change in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2013. Information about our critical accounting policies may be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following discussion compares the three months ended March 31, 2014 with the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Sales by Market

We view our operations and manage our business as one segment: the development, marketing and licensing of technologies and fonts. Factors used to identify our single segment include the financial information available for evaluation by our chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. While our technologies and services are sold to customers in two principal markets, Creative Professional and CE device manufacturers and independent software vendors, together OEM, expenses and assets are not formally allocated to these markets, and operating results are assessed on an aggregate basis to make decisions about the allocation of resources. The following table presents revenue for these two principal markets (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013		Increase
Creative Professional	$	17,719	$	15,332	$	2,387
OEM		28,353		26,707		1,646

Total revenue	$	46,072	$	42,039	$	4,033

Revenue

Revenue was $46.1 million and $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $4.0 million, or 9.6%.

Creative Professional revenue increased $2.4 million, or 15.6%, to $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $15.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, mainly due to an increase in web revenue. Web revenue increased in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, mainly due to increased font license revenue, together with increased sales of our web font services and licenses of fonts for e-book readers and server applications. Increased non-web revenue also contributed to the overall increase in the same period, a result of an increase in sales of our web font services and other license revenue.

OEM revenue was $28.4 million and $26.7 million in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $1.6 million, or 6.2%, mainly due to increased revenue from per unit royalty arrangements with our printer based OEM customers.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was $6.5 million and $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, was 14.1% and 14.3% of total revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in cost of revenue excluding amortization of acquired technology, in dollars was mainly due to the increased volume of sales. The decrease in cost of revenue, excluding amortization of acquired technology, as a percentage of revenue was mainly due to product mix. In the first quarter of 2014, printer product revenue increased, as compared to the same period in 2013, which typically has a lower associated cost.

The portion of cost of revenue consisting of amortization of acquired technology was unchanged at $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Gross profit increased 0.4 percentage points to 83.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 83.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2013, mainly the result of product mix. In the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, printer product revenue increased which has a lower associated cost than other types of revenue, such as our Creative Professional revenue.

Operating Expenses

Marketing and Selling. Marketing and selling expense was $11.1 million and $9.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $1.2 million, or 12.1%. Personnel expenses increased $0.7 million due to annual salary increases, increased variable and share based compensation. Targeted spending, such as online advertising and professional service expenses, together contributed $0.4 million to the increase period over period.

Research and Development. Research and development expense was $5.8 million and $5.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $0.8 million, or 15.7%, primarily the result of an increase in personnel expenses, partially due to increased headcount and partially due to increased variable compensation and annual salary increases.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expense increased $1.5 million, or 31.7%, to $6.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $4.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Legal and professional service expenses increased $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily the result of acquisition related expense and non-recurring legal and administrative expense. Personnel expenses increased $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily the result of increased share based compensation and annual salary increases.

Amortization of Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of other intangible assets was $1.4 million and $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 4.0%.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of interest income was $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 34.0%. Interest expense decreased in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to the same quarter in 2013, as a result of changes in our debt balance. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, our total average debt outstanding was $18.3 million. There was no debt outstanding during the same period in 2014.

Loss on Foreign Exchange

Loss on foreign exchange was $34 thousand and $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the loss incurred was primarily due to the revaluation of liabilities incurred in the acquisition of Design by Front.

Loss on Derivatives

Loss on derivatives was $56 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to our 30-day forward currency contracts. There was no similar item in the three months ended March 31, 2013, as there were no outstanding derivative contracts.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, our effective tax rate was 37.7% and 32.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included a benefit of 2.5% related to the 2012 and 2013 federal research credit. This benefit did not exist at March 31, 2014, as the federal research credit expired at the end of 2013. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 also included a benefit of 1.2% for disqualifying dispositions on incentive stock options, as compared to the benefit of 0.1% in the same period in 2014. In addition, the effect of foreign income and dividends resulted in a 1.0% increase in the 2014 effective tax rate, as compared to 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash from operations, private and public stock sales and long-term debt arrangements, as described below. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, our cash flow from operating activities and available bank borrowings will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. At March 31, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $88.2 million and a $120.0 million revolving credit facility, of which there were no outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2014. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the operations of our existing business, our potential strategic expansion and future acquisitions we might undertake. To the extent that our cash and cash equivalents, our current debt arrangements and our cash flow from operating activities are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through bank credit arrangements or public or private equity or debt financings.

The following table presents our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	16,786		$	6,731
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,575	)		(460	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(5,508	)		(2,485	)
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents		40			(143	)

Total increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	9,743		$	3,643

Operating Activities

Significant variations in operating cash flows may occur because, from time-to-time, our customers make prepayments against future royalties. Prepayments may be required under the terms of our license agreements and are occasionally made on an elective basis and often cause large fluctuations in accounts receivable and deferred revenue. The timing and extent of such prepayments significantly impacts our cash balances.

We generated $16.8 million in cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, loss on retirement of fixed assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, share based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions and accreted interest generated $13.6 million in cash. Decreased accounts receivable and increased deferred revenue generated $3.7 million in cash, mainly due to timing of customer payments. Accrued income taxes generated $2.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Decreased accounts payable and decreased accrued expenses and other liabilities, net of increases in prepaid expenses and other assets used $3.1 million in cash, primarily a result of the payment of 2013 accrued variable compensation amounts in addition to accruals related to the increased dividends declared at March 31, 2014 compared to December 31, 2013.

We generated $6.7 million in cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net income, after adjusting for depreciation and amortization, loss on retirement of fixed assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, share based compensation, excess tax benefit on stock options, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes and unrealized currency gain on foreign denominated intercompany transactions generated $13.4 million in cash. Increased accounts receivable and decreased deferred revenue used $2.1 million in cash, mainly due to timing of customer payments. Accrued income taxes used $1.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Increased prepaid expenses, decreased accounts payable and decreased accrued expenses used $3.3 million in cash, primarily a result of the payment of 2012 accrued variable compensation amounts.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.6 million. The purchase of property and equipment used $1.1 million and payments of contingent consideration, in connection with the Design by Front acquisition, used $0.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 we used $0.5 million mainly for the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $5.5 million. We received cash from exercises of stock options of $2.3 million and excess tax benefit on stock options provided $1.4 million. We paid a cash dividend of $2.4 million. We also used $6.8 million to purchase treasury stock in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $2.5 million. Payments on long-term debt amounted to $10.0 million. In addition, we paid out a cash dividend of $1.5 million. We had a significant amount of employee stock option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2013, which resulted in $9.0 million in proceeds from the exercise of common stock options and excess tax benefit on stock options.

Dividends

On February 4, 2014 our Board of Directors approved a $0.08 per share, or $3.2 million, quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date was April 1, 2014 and the dividend was paid to shareholders on April 21, 2014. We anticipate this to be a recurring quarterly dividend with future payments and record dates, subject to board approval. On April 28, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $0.08 per share quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The record date is set for July 1, 2014 and the dividend is payable to shareholders of record on July 21, 2014.

Credit Facility

On July 13, 2011, we entered into a five-year $120.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility replaced the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which was scheduled to expire on July 30, 2012.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest based on the leverage ratio at either (i) the prime rate plus 0.5%, as defined in the credit agreement, or (ii) LIBOR plus 1.5%. The Company is required to pay an unused line fee equal to 0.375% per annum on the undrawn portion available under the revolving credit facility and variable per annum fees in respect of outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2014, our rate, inclusive of applicable margins, was 3.75% for prime and we had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility. There are no required repayments. The Company, in accordance with the Credit Facility, is permitted to request that the Lenders, at their election, increase the secured credit facility to a maximum of $140.0 million.

In addition, the Credit Facility provides that we not exceed a maximum leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of aggregate outstanding indebtedness to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net earnings (or loss), plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and share based compensation expense, plus restructuring, issuance costs, cash non-operating costs and other expenses or losses minus cash non-operating gains and other non-cash gains; provided however that the aggregate of all cash non-operating expense shall not exceed $250 thousand and all such fees, costs and expenses shall not exceed $1.5 million on a trailing twelve months basis.

Additional limits are imposed on acquisition related expenses. We also must maintain a minimum fixed charge ratio. As of March 31, 2014, the maximum leverage ratio permitted was 3.00:1.00 and our leverage ratio was 0.00:1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.25:1.00 and our fixed charge ratio was 3.71:1.00. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the Lenders under the Credit Facility to declare all amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and places limits on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens and engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make loans and investments, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, transact with affiliates and alter its business.

The following table presents a reconciliation from net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure, to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our credit facilities (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Net income	$	8,445		$	8,616
Provision for income taxes		5,108			4,231
Interest expense, net		276			418
Depreciation and amortization		2,982			2,997

EBITDA	$	16,811		$	16,262
Share based compensation		2,260			1,749
Non-cash add backs		—			—
Restructuring, issuance and cash non-operating costs ⁽²⁾		(27	)		94
Acquisition expenses		58			—

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	$	19,102		$	18,105

(1)

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP profitability measures such as income from operations and net income. Adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure has material limitations since it excludes the statement of income impact of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, the provision for income taxes and share based compensation and therefore does not represent an accurate measure of profitability, particularly in situations where a company is highly leveraged or has a disadvantageous tax structure. We have significant intangible assets and amortization expense is a meaningful element in our financial statements and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We have had a significant amount of debt, and interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We generally incur significant U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes each year and the provision for income taxes is a necessary element of our costs and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. We have share based compensation and the associated expense is a meaningful element in our financial statements and therefore its exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. Non-cash expenses, restructuring, issuance and cash non-operating expenses have a meaningful impact on our financial statements. Therefore, their exclusion from Adjusted EBITDA is a material limitation. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in conjunction with net income for complete analysis of our profitability, as net income includes the financial statement impact of these items and is the most directly comparable GAAP operating performance measure to Adjusted EBITDA. As Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of the limitations that Adjusted EBITDA has as an analytical tool, investors should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.

(2)	Permits an add-back of up to $250 thousand of cash non-operating expense, which is not to exceed $1.5 million when combined together with restructuring and issuance costs.

The Credit Facility also contains provisions for an increased interest rate during periods of default. We do not believe that these covenants will affect our ability to operate our business, and we were in compliance with all covenants under our Credit Facility as of March 31, 2014.

Non-GAAP Measures

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we discuss a key measure that is not calculated according to GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is net adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and share based compensation expenses. We use net adjusted EBITDA as a principal indicator of the operating performance of our business. We use net adjusted EBITDA in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our board of directors, determining bonus compensation for our employees based on operating performance and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that net adjusted EBITDA permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance, relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of charges that may vary from period-to-period without direct correlation to underlying operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making. We believe that trends in our net adjusted EBITDA may be valuable indicators of our operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation from income from operations, which is the most directly comparable GAAP operating financial measure, to net adjusted EBITDA as used by management (in thousands):


	Three Months Ending March 31,
	2014		2013
Income from operations	$	13,918	$	13,806
Depreciation and amortization		2,982		2,997
Share based compensation		2,260		1,749

Net adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾	$	19,160	$	18,552

Net adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure has material limitations since it excludes the statement of income impact of depreciation and amortization expense and share based compensation and therefore does not represent an accurate measure of profitability.

In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA and net adjusted EBITDA as discussed above, we discuss another key measure that is not calculated according to GAAP. This non-GAAP measure is non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, which is defined as earnings per diluted share before amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation expenses. We use non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as one of our principal indicators of the operating performance of our business. We use non-GAAP earnings per diluted shares in internal forecasts, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our board of directors and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that non-GAAP earnings per diluted share permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance, relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of charges that may vary from period-to-period without direct correlation to underlying operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making. We believe that trends in our non-GAAP earnings per diluted share may be valuable indicators of our operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation from earnings per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share as used by management:


	Three Months Ending March 31,
	2014		2013
GAAP earnings per diluted share	$	0.21	$	0.22
Amortization, net of tax		0.04		0.05
Share based compensation, net of tax		0.04		0.03

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share⁽¹⁾	$	0.29	$	0.30

(1)

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute for GAAP profitability measures such as earnings per share and earnings per diluted share.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risk, including interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk.

Concentration of Revenue and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. Cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits and certain investments, such as commercial paper, corporate debt and municipal securities, with maturities less than 90 days. Deposits of cash held outside the United States totaled approximately $8.4 million and $6.8 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

We grant credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. Credit evaluations are performed on an ongoing basis to reduce credit risk, and no collateral is required from our customers. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible based upon historical experience and credit evaluation. As of March 31, 2014, one customer individually accounted for 10% of our gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2013, there were no customers that individually accounted for 10% or more of our gross accounts receivable. Due to the nature of our quarterly revenue streams derived from royalty revenue, it is not unusual for our accounts receivable balances to include a few customers with large balances. Historically, we have not recorded material losses due to customers’ nonpayment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Interest Rate Risk

In the past, we have used interest rate derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate volatility resulting from our variable rate debt. ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships, including a requirement that all designations must be made at the inception of each instrument. As we did not make such initial designations, ASC 815 requires changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument to be recognized as current period income or expense.

The fair value of derivative instruments is estimated based on the amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date. Our exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt. The interest rate on our Credit Facility fluctuates with either the prime rate or the LIBOR interest rate. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility. Historically, we have purchased interest rate swap instruments to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our debt obligations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

In accordance with ASC Topic No. 830, Foreign Currency Matters, or ASC 830, all assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is a currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments as calculated from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

We incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses related to certain customers that are invoiced in U.S. dollars, but who have the option to make an equivalent payment in their own functional currencies at a specified exchange rate as of a specified date. In the period from that date until payment in the customer’s functional currency is received and converted into U.S. dollars, we can incur realized gains and losses. We also incur foreign currency exchange gains and losses on certain intercompany assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We are currently utilizing 30-day forward contracts to mitigate our exposure on these currency fluctuations. At both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 there was one currency contract, to purchase and sell two different currencies, outstanding, which was entered into on those dates, and accordingly, the fair value was materially equivalent to its book value.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 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. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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