Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Description of Business -

On September 20, 2018, we implemented a holding company reorganization, as a result of which Acxiom Holdings, Inc. became the successor issuer to Acxiom Corporation. On October 1, 2018, we changed our name to LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. ("LiveRamp"). References to "we", "us", "our" or the "Company" for events that occurred prior to September 20, 2018 refer to Acxiom Corporation and its subsidiaries; for events that occurred from September 20, 2018 to October 1, 2018, to Acxiom Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries; and for events after October 1, 2018, to LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries.

LiveRamp is a global technology company with a vision of making it safe and easy for companies to use data effectively. We provide a best-in-class enterprise data connectivity platform that helps organizations better leverage customer data within and outside their four walls. Powered by core identity capabilities and an extensive network, LiveRamp enables companies and their partners to better connect, control, and activate data to transform customer experiences and generate more valuable business outcomes.

LiveRamp is a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “RAMP.” We serve a global client base from locations in the United States, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) region. Our direct client list includes many of the world’s largest and best-known brands across most major industry verticals, including but not limited to financial, insurance and investment services, retail, automotive, telecommunications, high tech, consumer packaged goods, healthcare, travel, entertainment, non-profit, and government. Through our extensive reseller and partnership network, we serve thousands of additional companies, establishing LiveRamp as a foundational and neutral enabler of the customer experience economy.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation -

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification and Updates (“ASC” and "ASU") and we consider the various staff accounting bulletins and other applicable guidance issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Our fiscal year ends on March 31. References to fiscal 2021, for example, are to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates -

In preparing consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we must make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used in determining, among other items, revenue recognition criteria, allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, restructuring and impairment accruals, litigation and facilities lease loss accruals, stock-based compensation, and the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes, including the measurement of uncertain tax positions.

Risks and Uncertainties -

Due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic ("COVID-19" or "COVID-19 pandemic"), there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. We are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2021. While there was not a material impact to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, as well as other factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic that could result in material impacts to our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Operating Segments -

The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). Our Chief Executive Officer is our CODM. Our CODM evaluates our financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. Since we operate as one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

Discontinued Operations -

Discontinued operations comprise those activities that have been disposed of during the period or that have been classified as held for sale at the end of the period and represent a separate major line of business or geographical area that can be clearly distinguished for operational and financial reporting purposes. In fiscal 2019, the Company sold its Acxiom Marketing Solutions business (“AMS”) and began reporting the results of operations, cash flows and the balance sheet amounts pertaining to AMS as a component of discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. The amount recorded in fiscal 2020 relates to the final working capital true-up and receipt of final proceeds.

Unless otherwise indicated, information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations.

Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents -

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank deposit accounts and short-term, highly-liquid money-market fund investments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Revenue Recognition -

LiveRamp recognizes revenue from the following sources: (i) subscription revenue, which consists primarily of subscription fees from clients accessing our LiveRamp platform; and (ii) marketplace and other revenue, which primarily consists of revenue-sharing fees generated from access to data through our LiveRamp Data Marketplace, and transactional usage-based revenue from arrangements with certain publishers and addressable TV providers.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

•Determination of the transaction price;

•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

•Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.

Identification of the contract

We consider the terms and conditions of the contract and our customary business practices when identifying our contracts under ASC 606. We determine we have a contract with a customer when the contract or contract modification is approved and the parties are committed to performing their respective obligations, we can identify each party's rights regarding the services to be transferred, we can identify the payment terms for the services, we have determined the contract has commercial substance, and we have determined that collection of at least some of the contract consideration is probable. At contract inception we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract and whether the single or combined contract includes one or multiple performance obligations. We apply judgment in determining the customer's ability to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the customer's historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

Identification of the performance obligations

As part of accounting for arrangements with multiple performance obligations, we must assess whether each performance obligation is distinct. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and a company's promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. We have determined that our subscriptions to the platform are a distinct performance obligation and access to data for revenue-sharing and usage-based arrangements is a distinct performance obligation because, once a customer has access to the platform, the service is fully functional and does not require any additional development, modification, or customization.

Determination of the transaction price

The transaction price is the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies. Variable consideration is assessed and included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of our contracts contain a significant financing component.

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the standalone selling price ("SSP") of each service. We generally determine the SSP based on contractual selling prices when the obligation is sold on a standalone basis, as well as market conditions, competition, and pricing practices. As pricing and marketing strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes to SSP.

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied

Revenues are recognized when or as control of the promised services is transferred to customers. Subscription revenue is generally recognized ratably over the subscription period beginning on the date the services are made available to customers. Marketplace and other revenue is typically transactional in nature, tied to a revenue share or volumes purchased. We report revenue from Data Marketplace and other similar transactions on a net basis because our performance obligation is to facilitate a transaction between data providers and data buyers, for which we earn a portion of the gross fee. Consequently, the portion of the gross amount billed to data buyers that is remitted to data providers is not reflected as revenues.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes amounts billed to customers as well as unbilled amounts recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies. Unbilled amounts included in trade accounts receivable, net, which generally arise from the performance of services to customers in advance of billings, were $8.0 million at March 31, 2021 and $5.0 million at March 31, 2020.

Trade accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for credit losses, returns and credits based on the probability of future collections. The probability of future collections is based on specific considerations of historical loss patterns and an assessment of the continuation of such patterns based on past collection trends and known or anticipated future economic events that may impair collectability. Accounts receivable that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include past due status greater than 360 days or bankruptcy of the debtor.

We are monitoring the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers and various counterparties, and have considered these risks in establishing our reserve balance as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

A summary of the activity of the allowance for credit losses, returns and credits was (dollars in thousands):


For the twelve months ended:	Balance at beginning of period		Additions charged to costs and expenses	Other changes	Bad debts written off, net of amounts recovered	Balance at end of period
March 31, 2019	$	3,182	3,069	(92)	(3,152)	$	3,007
March 31, 2020	$	3,007	7,133	86	(2,651)	$	7,575
March 31, 2021	$	7,575	2,915	108	(2,981)	$	7,617

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized. Deferred revenues are subsequently recorded as revenue when earned in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies.

Deferred Commissions, net -

The Company capitalizes incremental costs to acquire contracts and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we have determined to be four years. Net capitalized costs of $6.6 million and $5.3 million were recognized as a reduction of operating expense for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We did not recognize any impairment charges in fiscal 2021, 2020, or 2019.

Property and Equipment -

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: leasehold improvements, 5 - 7 years; data processing equipment, 2 - 5 years, and office furniture and other equipment, 3 - 7 years.

Operating Leases -

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, codified as ASC 842 Leases, using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company elected the transition option provided by ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, to not restate comparative periods, but rather to initially adopt the requirements of ASC 842 on April 1, 2019. The resulting impact, as of the adoption date, was the recognition of right-of-use assets included in other assets, net of $22.9 million, short-term lease liabilities included in other accrued expenses of $8.4 million, long-term lease liabilities included in other liabilities of $17.9 million, and a decrease to deferred rent included in other liabilities of $3.4 million. There was no material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or stockholders' equity as a result of adopting the new guidance.

The Company applied the new standard using the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance where the Company:

•did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain a lease;

•did not reassess the classification of existing leases; and

•did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, or term, in exchange for consideration, and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the aforementioned right.

The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception, and whether lease and non-lease components are combined or not. Operating leases with a duration of one year or less are excluded from right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and related expense is recorded as incurred. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which includes the minimum unconditional term of the lease, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that such options will be exercised. As the rate implicit for each of the Company's leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses judgement in determining its incremental borrowing rate, which includes selecting a yield curve based on a hypothetical credit rating. Right-of-use assets also include any initial direct costs and any lease payments made prior to the lease commencement date and are reduced by any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Short-term lease liabilities are included in other accrued expenses and long-term lease liabilities are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis as operating lease cost in the consolidated statements of operations.

Business Combinations –

We apply the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, in accounting for acquisitions. ASC 805 requires us to determine if assets or a business was acquired. If a business was acquired, it requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. While we use our best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as any contingent consideration, where applicable, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments resulting from new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date and falls within the measurement period to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill -

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and is not amortized. Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment on an annual basis in the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such events and changes may include: significant changes in performance related to expected operating results, significant changes in asset use, significant changes in asset use, significant negative industry or economic trends, and changes in our business strategy.

Our test for goodwill impairment starts with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If qualitative factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. For the purposes of impairment testing, we have determined that we have three reporting units. We completed our annual impairment test during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in fiscal 2021, 2020 or 2019.

Intangible Assets -

We amortize intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives and review them for impairment whenever an impairment indicator exists. We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of our long-lived assets, including our intangible assets, may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. We did not recognize any intangible asset impairment charges in fiscal 2021, 2020 or 2019.

During fiscal 2021, our intangible assets were amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from two years to six years. Amortization is based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset will be consumed or on a straight-line basis when the consumption pattern is not apparent. The weighted average useful lives of our intangible assets were as follows:


						Weighted Average Useful Life (years)
Developed technology						3.9
Customer relationships						5.3
Publisher and Data Supply relationships						5.2

Impairment of Long-lived Assets -

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company considers factors such as operating losses, declining outlooks, and business conditions when evaluating the necessity for an impairment analysis. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

We did not recognize any impairment charges related to long-lived assets in fiscal 2021, 2020 or 2019.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments -

We apply the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, to our assets and liabilities that we are required to measure at fair value pursuant to other accounting standards. The additional disclosure regarding our fair value measurements is included in Note 18 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers -

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions more than federally insured limits. Management, however, believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts, or other hedging arrangements.

The Company’s trade accounts receivables are from a large number of customers. Accordingly, the Company’s credit risk is affected by general economic conditions.

At March 31, 2021 there were no customers that represented more than 10% of the trade accounts receivable balance. Our ten largest clients represented approximately 33% of our revenues in fiscal year 2021. One client, The Interpublic Group of Companies, accounted for 11%of our revenues in fiscal year 2021.

Income Taxes -

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries file separate income tax returns in the countries in which their operations are based.

The Company makes estimates and judgments in determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of tax credits, benefits, and deductions, and in the calculation of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities that arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes, as well as the interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Significant changes in these estimates may result in an increase or decrease to the tax provision in a subsequent period. The Company assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company increases the provision for taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets that it estimates will not ultimately be recoverable.

The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining whether the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. If the Company determines that a tax position will more likely than not be sustained on audit, the second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the Company must determine the probability of various outcomes.

The Company re-evaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors such as changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, new audit activity, and effectively settled issues. Determining whether an uncertain tax position is effectively settled requires judgment. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act included several significant changes and clarifications to existing tax law, including changes to the treatment of net operating losses (“NOLs”). Under the CARES Act, NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021 may be carried back to each of the five tax years preceding the tax year of the net loss. As such, the Company plans to carry back its fiscal 2021 NOL, resulting in an expected refund of approximately $28 million in fiscal 2022. The Company was also able to carry back its fiscal 2020 NOL, resulting in an expected refund of approximately $33 million also in fiscal 2022. Both refunds are included in refundable income taxes in the consolidated balance sheets.

Foreign Currency -

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign operations generally is the applicable local currency for each foreign subsidiary. The balance sheets of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at period-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of equity and comprehensive income (loss). We reflect net foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, resulting from the conversion of the transaction currency to functional currency, as a component of foreign currency exchange gain (loss) in total other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Advertising Expense -

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $7.0 million, $9.8 million, and $8.2 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Advertising expense is included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Legal Contingencies -

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings. Quarterly, we review the status of each significant matter and assess our potential financial exposure. We accrue a liability for an estimated loss if the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies provides additional information regarding certain of our legal contingencies.

Stock-Based Compensation -

The Company records stock-based compensation expense according to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC Topic 718 requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations over the service period of the award based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, the Company determines the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing stock-based payments and the amortization method for compensation cost.

The Company has stock option plans and equity compensation plans (collectively referred to as the “stock-based plans”) administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors (“compensation committee”) under which options and restricted stock units were outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

The Company’s equity compensation plan provides that all associates (employees, officers, directors, affiliates, independent contractors or consultants) are eligible to receive awards (grant of any option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock award, restricted stock unit award, performance award, performance share, performance unit, qualified performance-based award, or other stock unit award) under the plan with the terms and conditions applicable to an award set forth in applicable grant documents.

Incentive stock option awards granted under the stock-based plans cannot be granted with an exercise price less than 100% of the per-share market value of the Company’s shares at the date of grant and have a maximum duration of ten years from the date of grant. Board policy currently requires that non-qualified options also must be priced at or above 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the time of grant with a maximum duration of ten years.

The Company receives income tax deductions because of the exercise of non-qualified stock options and the vesting of other stock-based awards. To the extent the income tax deductions differ from the corresponding stock-based compensation expense, such excess tax benefits and deficiencies are included as a component of income tax expense and reflected as an operating cash flow included in changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Restructuring –

The Company records costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activity in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, depending on whether the costs relate to exit or disposal activities under the accounting standards, or whether they are other post-employment termination benefits. Under applicable accounting standards for exit or disposal costs, the Company records employee termination benefits as an operating expense when the benefit arrangement is communicated to the employee and no significant future services are required. Under the accounting standards related to post employment termination benefits the Company records employee termination benefits when the termination benefits are probable and can be estimated. The Company recognizes the present value of facility lease termination obligations, net of estimated sublease income and other exit costs, when the Company has future payments with no future economic benefit or a commitment to pay the termination costs of a prior commitment. In future periods the Company will record accretion expense to increase the liability to an amount equal to the estimated future cash payments necessary to exit the leases. This requires judgment and management estimation to determine the expected time frame for securing a subtenant, the amount of sublease income to be received and the appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of the future cash flows. Should actual lease exit costs differ from estimates, the Company may be required to adjust the restructuring charge within gains, losses and other items, net in the consolidated statement of operations in the period any adjustment is recorded.

Associate-Related Restructuring Plans

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a total of $1.7 million in associate-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included severance and other associate-related charges in the United States and Europe. Of the associate-related charges of $1.7 million, $0.6 million remained accrued as of March 31, 2021 and is expected to be paid out during fiscal 2022.

In fiscal 2020, the Company recorded a total of $2.3 million in associate-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included severance and other associate-related charges in APAC of $0.6 million and adjustments to fiscal 2019 associate-related restructuring plans for associates in the United States of $1.7 million, all of which were paid out in fiscal 2020. The fiscal 2020 associate-related accruals of $0.6 million had a remaining balance of $0.2 million at March 31, 2020. This amount was paid out in fiscal 2021.

In fiscal 2019, the Company recorded a total of $6.1 million in associate-related restructuring charges and adjustments. The expense included severance and other associate-related charges primarily for associates in the United States and APAC. The associate-related accruals of $6.1 million were paid out in fiscal 2020.

Of associate-related accruals for periods before fiscal 2019, $0.2 million remains accrued and is expected to be paid out during fiscal 2022.

Lease-Related Restructuring Plans

In fiscal 2017, the Company made the strategic decision to exit and sub-lease a certain leased office facility under a staggered-exit plan. The full exit was completed in fiscal 2019. We intend to continue subleasing the facility to the extent possible. The liability will be satisfied over the remainder of the leased property's term, which continues through November 2025. Any future changes in the estimates or in the actual sublease income may require future adjustments to the liabilities, which would impact net earnings (loss) in the period the adjustment is recorded. The Company recorded restructuring charge adjustments of $(0.9) million, $1.1 million, and $0.9 million related to this lease during fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Through March 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a total of $7.3 million of restructuring charges and adjustments related to this lease. Of the amount accrued for this facility lease, $3.9 million remained accrued at March 31, 2021.

In addition to the fiscal 2017 restructured lease discussed above, the Company recorded a $1.0 million settlement in fiscal 2021 for an office space lease cancellation that was paid during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and recorded leasehold improvement write-offs of $0.8 million in fiscal 2019 related to the fiscal 2017 restructured lease.

ACQUISITIONS:

Mar. 31, 2021

Business Combinations [Abstract]

ACQUISITIONS:

DataFleets

On February 17, 2021, the Company acquired DataFleets, a cloud data platform that enables data silos to be unified without moving data or compromising privacy. This acquisition expands LiveRamp's data protection capabilities to unlock greater data access and control for its customers. In addition, the deal opens up new use cases as well as new markets for distributed data collaboration through LiveRamp Safe Haven. The Company has included the financial results of DataFleets in the consolidated financial statements as of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration for DataFleets was approximately $67.2 million, which consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):


Cash, net of $2.1 million cash acquired	$	58,264
Restricted cash held in escrow	8,900
Total fair value of consideration transferred	$	67,164

On the acquisition date, the Company delivered $8.9 million of cash to an escrow agent according to the terms of the purchase agreement. The principal escrow is owned by the Company until funds are delivered to the DataFleets sellers one year from the acquisition date. All interest and earnings on the principal escrow amount remain the property of the Company.

The total fair value of replacement stock options issued was $2.9 million for future services and will be expensed over the future requisite service periods.

In connection with the DataFleets acquisition, the Company agreed to pay $18.1 million to certain key employees (see "Consideration Holdback' in Note 14). The consideration holdback is payable in three equal, annual increments, based on the anniversary dates of the acquisition, and is payable in shares of Company common stock. The number of shares to be issued annually will vary based on the market price of the shares on the date of issuance. The consideration holdback is not part of the purchase price, as vesting is dependent on continued employment of the key employees. It will be recorded as non-cash stock-based compensation expense over the three-year earning period.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition (dollars in thousands):


	February 17, 2021
Assets acquired:
Cash	$	2,099
Goodwill	56,436
Intangible assets	11,400
Other current and noncurrent assets	1,119
Total assets acquired	71,054
Deferred income taxes	(1,716)
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	(75)
Net assets acquired	69,263
Less:
Cash acquired	(2,099)
Net purchase price allocated	67,164
Less:
Restricted cash held in escrow	(8,900)
Net cash paid in acquisition	$	58,264

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributed to expectations to the development of future technology. The goodwill balance is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The Company initially recognized the assets and liabilities acquired based on its preliminary estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. As additional information becomes known concerning the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, management may make adjustments to the opening balance sheet of the acquired company up to the end of the measurement period, which is not longer than a one-year period following the acquisition date. The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed (and the related determination of the estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has not completed its analysis of deferred income taxes. The fair value currently assigned to deferred income taxes was based on the information that was available as of the date of the acquisition. The Company expects to finalize the deferred income taxes as soon as practicable.

The amounts allocated to intangible assets in the table above included developed technology, and customer relationships/trade name. Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. The following table presents the components of intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date (dollars in thousands):


			Useful life
	Fair value		(in years)
Developed technology	$	11,000	4


Customer relationships/trade names	400		2
Total intangible assets	$	11,400

The Company has omitted pro forma disclosures related to this acquisition date as the pro forma effect of this acquisition is not material.

Acuity Data

On July 16, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Acuity Data, a team of global retail and consumer packaged goods ("CPG") experts, for approximately $2.9 million in cash. The acquisition also included a three-year performance plan having a maximum potential attainment of $5.1 million that would be recorded as non-cash stock-based compensation expense if achieved. The acquisition strengthens the retail analytics capabilities of our Safe Haven platform by enabling better reporting, insights, and collaboration for retailers and CPG companies, bridging the gap between trade and media by bringing consumers' digital signals and retail transaction data together in a privacy-conscious manner.

The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition (dollars in thousands):


	July 16, 2020
Assets acquired:
Cash	$	184
Trade accounts receivable	156
Goodwill	2,011
Intangible assets	1,100
Other current and noncurrent assets	43
Total assets acquired	3,494
Deferred income taxes	(288)
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	(89)
Net assets acquired	3,117
Less:
Cash acquired	(184)
Net cash paid	$	2,933

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributed to the development of future technology and products, development of future customer relationships, and the Acuity assembled workforce. The Company has omitted pro forma disclosures related to this acquisition as the pro forma effect of this acquisition is not material.

Data Plus Math

On July 2, 2019, the Company closed its acquisition of Data Plus Math Corporation ("DPM"), a media measurement company that works with brands, agencies, cable operators, streaming TV services and networks to tie cross-screen ad exposure with real-world outcomes. The Company has included the financial results of DPM in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration for DPM was approximately $118.0 million, which consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):



Cash, net of $0.4 million cash acquired	$	100,886
Restricted cash held in escrow	14,815
Fair value of replacement stock options considered a component of purchase price	2,300
Total fair value of consideration transferred	$	118,001

On the acquisition date, the Company delivered $14.8 million of cash to an escrow agent according to the terms of the purchase agreement. The principal escrow amount was owned by the Company until funds were delivered to the DPM sellers in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. All interest and earnings on the principal escrow amount remained the property of the Company.

The total fair value of the replacement stock options issued was $7.4 million of which $2.3 million was allocated to the purchase consideration and $5.1 million was allocated to future services and will be expensed over the future requisite service periods (see Note 14).

In connection with the DPM acquisition, the Company agreed to pay $24.7 million to certain key employees (see "Consideration Holdback" in Note 14). The consideration holdback is payable in three equal, annual increments, based on the anniversary dates of the acquisition, and is payable in shares of Company common stock. The number of shares to be issued annually will vary depending on the market price of the shares on the date of issuance. The consideration holdback is not part of the purchase price, as vesting is dependent on continued employment of the key employees. It will be recorded as non-cash stock-based compensation expense over the three-year earning period.

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributed to expectations to development of future technology and products, development of future customer relationships, and the DPM's assembled workforce. The goodwill balance is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes.

The amounts allocated to intangible assets in the table above included developed technology, data supply relationships, customer relationships, and trademarks. Intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives.

The Company has omitted disclosures of revenue and net loss of the acquired company from the acquisition date as the amounts are not material.

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for LiveRamp and DPM for the purposes of unaudited pro forma financial information disclosure as if the companies were combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2019. The unaudited pro forma financial information for all periods presented included the business combination accounting effects resulting from these acquisitions, including amortization charges from acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation charges for unvested restricted stock-based awards and stock options assumed, if any, and the related tax effects as though the aforementioned companies were combined as of the beginning of fiscal 2019.

On April 2, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Faktor B.V. ("Faktor"). Faktor is a global consent management platform that allows consumers to control how their data is collected, used, and transferred for usage to another party. Faktor's platform provides individuals with notice and choice on websites and mobile apps and allows them to opt-in or opt-out via a visible banner on the page. The Company paid approximately $4.5 million in cash for the acquired shares.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Legal Matters

The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Management routinely assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as ranges of probable losses, to the extent losses are reasonably estimable. The Company records accruals for these matters to the extent that management concludes a loss is probable and the financial impact, should an adverse outcome occur, is reasonably estimable. These accruals are adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter. These accruals are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, the Company has made appropriate and adequate accruals for these matters, and management believes the probability of a material loss beyond the amounts accrued to be remote. However, the ultimate liability for these matters is uncertain, and if accruals are not adequate, an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company maintains insurance coverage above certain limits.

Commitments

The following table presents the Company’s purchase commitments at March 31, 2021. Purchase commitments primarily include contractual commitments for the purchase of data, hosting services and software as a service arrangements. The table does not include the future payment of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions of $26.2 million as the Company is not able to predict the periods in which the payments will be made (dollars in thousands):

Equity [Abstract]

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

The Company has authorized 200 million shares of $0.10 par value common stock and 1 million shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock. The board of directors of the Company may designate the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock when and if issued. Such rights and preferences could include liquidation preferences, redemption rights, voting rights and dividends, and the shares could be issued in multiple series with different rights and preferences. The Company currently has no plans for the issuance of any shares of preferred stock.

On August 29, 2011, the board of directors adopted a common stock repurchase program. That program was subsequently modified and expanded, most recently on November 3, 2020. On that date, the board of directors extended the term of the existing common stock repurchase program. Under the modified common stock repurchase program, the Company may purchase up to $1.0 billion of its common stock through the period ending December 31, 2022. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 1.3 million shares of its common stock for $42.3 million under the stock repurchase program. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 4.4 million shares of its common stock for $182.2 million under the stock repurchase program. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 2.4 million shares of its common stock for $74.4 million under the stock repurchase program. Through March 31, 2021, the Company has repurchased 28.2 million shares of its stock for $673.6 million, leaving remaining capacity of $326.4 million under the stock repurchase program.

On October 25, 2018, the board of directors authorized a Dutch auction tender offer to purchase shares of its outstanding common stock at an initial aggregate purchase price not to exceed $500 million, plus up to 2% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. On December 13, 2018, the Company accepted for purchase 11.2 million shares of its common stock at a price of $44.50 per share, for an aggregate cost of $503.4 million, including fees and expenses. These shares represented approximately 14.2% of the shares outstanding.

The Company paid no dividends on its common stock for any of the years reported.

Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company has stock option and equity compensation plans for which a total of 39.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance since the inception of the plans. At March 31, 2021, there were a total of 5.2 million shares available for future grants under the plans.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Board voted to amend the Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Compensation Plan to increase the number of shares available under the plan from 32.9 million shares at March 31, 2018 to 37.9 million shares at March 31, 2019, bringing the total number of shares reserved for issuance since inception of all plans from 34.5 million shares at March 31, 2018 to 42.3 million shares beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The amendment received shareholder approval at the September 20, 2018 annual shareholders' meeting.

In March 2021 and March 2019, the Company accelerated the vesting of certain time-vesting restricted stock units that would have otherwise vested over the following six months, respectively, to take advantage of significant cash tax savings opportunities.

•In March 2021, this resulted in the vesting of time-vesting and performance-based restricted stock units covering approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock. The Company recognized $21.4 million of compensation costs related to the accelerated vesting of these units, which is included in loss from operations in the consolidated statement of operations. Of the $21.4 million compensation costs, $8.4 million represented incremental compensation cost due to the modification and $13.0 million represented accelerated original grant date fair value compensation cost.

•In March 2019, this resulted in the vesting of time-vesting restricted stock units covering approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock. The Company recognized $19.8 million of compensation costs related to the accelerated vesting and release of these units, which is included in loss from operations in the consolidated statement of operations. Of the $19.8 million compensation costs, $14.3 million represented incremental compensation cost due to the modification and $5.5 million represented accelerated original grant date fair value compensation cost.

Stock Options Activity of Continuing Operations

In February 2021, in connection with the acquisition of DataFleets, the Company replaced all unvested outstanding stock options held by DataFleets associates immediately prior to the acquisition with options to acquire shares of LiveRamp common stock having substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the original options. In total, the Company issued 42,154 replacement options at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.70 per share. The acquisition-date fair value of the replacement stock options was $2.9 million and was determined using a binomial lattice model. All of the replacement options require post-combination service. As a result, the $2.9 million acquisition-date fair value is considered future compensation cost and will be recognized as stock-based compensation cost over the remaining service period of the replacement options.

In fiscal 2020, in connection with the acquisition of DPM, the Company replaced all outstanding stock options held by DPM associates immediately prior to the acquisition with options to acquire shares of LiveRamp common stock having substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the original options. In total, the Company issued 162,481 replacement options at a weighted-average exercise price of $1.64 per share. The acquisition-date fair value of the replacement stock options was $7.4 million and was determined using a binomial lattice model. $2.3 million of the acquisition-date fair value of the replacement options was calculated and identified as consideration transferred in the DPM acquisition. The remaining $5.1 million acquisition-date fair value is considered future compensation costs and will be recognized as stock-based compensation cost over the remaining service period.

Stock option activity for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 was:

The aggregate intrinsic value for options exercised in fiscal 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $23.2 million, $6.7 million, and $35.3 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value at period end represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between LiveRamp’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price for each in-the-money option) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on March 31, 2021. This amount changes based upon changes in the fair market value of LiveRamp’s common stock.

During the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted PSUs covering 246,524 shares of common stock having a fair value at the date of grant of $10.7 million. The grants were made under two separate performance plans.

Under the first performance plan, units covering 73,950 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $4.2 million, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The units vest subject to attainment of market conditions established by the compensation committee of the board of directors (“compensation committee”) and continuous employment through the vesting date. The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on the total shareholder return of LiveRamp common stock compared to total shareholder return of the Russell 2000 market index for the period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023.

Under the second performance plan, units covering 172,574 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $6.5 million, which was equal to the quoted market price for the shares on the date of grant. The units vest subject to attainment of performance criteria established by the compensation committee and continuous employment through the vesting date. The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on the attainment of trailing twelve-month revenue growth and EBITDA margin targets for the period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023. Performance will be measured and vesting evaluated on a quarterly basis beginning with the period ending June 30, 2021 and continuing through the end of the performance period. To the extent that shares are earned in a given quarter, 50% vest immediately and 50% vest on the one-year anniversary of attainment approval, except that all earned but unvested shares will vest fully at the end of the measurement period.

Fiscal 2020 plans:

During fiscal 2020, the Company granted PSUs covering 202,818 shares of common stock having a fair value at the date of grant of $12.3 million. The grants were made under two separate performance plans.

Under the first performance plan, units covering 60,844 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $4.4 million, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on the total shareholder return of LiveRamp common stock compared to total shareholder return of the Russell 2000 market index for the period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022.

Under the second performance plan, units covering 141,974 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $7.9 million equal to the quoted market price for the shares on the date of grant. The units vest subject to attainment of performance criteria established by the compensation committee of the board of directors.

•82,494 units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on attainment of the Company's three-year revenue compound annual growth rate target for the period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2022.

•59,480 units vest based on attainment of the year-over-year revenue growth targets for the annual period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. The 59,480 units reached maturity of the relevant performance period at March 31, 2020. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the compensation committee approved the final performance attainment of 164% resulting in an additional award of 38,063 units (for a total earned amount of 97,543 units). Of the earned amount, one-third vested immediately, while the remaining two-thirds will vest in equal increments in first quarters of fiscal years 2022 and 2023.

Fiscal 2019 plans:

During fiscal 2019, the Company granted PSUs covering 534,438 shares of common stock having a fair value at the date of grant of $22.0 million. The grants were made under two separate performance plans.

Under the first performance plan, units covering 186,539 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $5.8 million, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The units vest subject to attainment of market conditions established by the compensation committee and continuous employment through the vesting date. The 186,539 units may vest in a number of shares from 25% to 200% of the award, based on the total shareholder return of LiveRamp common stock compared to total shareholder return of a group of peer companies established by the compensation committee for the period from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2021. All of these awards were converted to RSUs at the time of the AMS disposition.

Under the second performance plan, units covering 347,899 shares of common stock were granted having a fair value at the date of grant of $16.2 million equal to the quoted market price for the shares on the date of grant. The units vest subject to attainment of performance criteria established by the compensation committee for the period October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2022. The units may vest in a number of shares from 0% to 200% of the award, based on the attainment of revenue growth and margin targets. Of the earned units, one-half vests immediately, while the remaining one-half vests one year later. Vesting is evaluated and performance measured on a quarterly basis, which began with the period ended June 30, 2020.

Through the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the compensation committee has approved quarterly performance measurements totaling 57% attainment. Net of forfeitures, this resulted in a total of 177,181 units being earned under the plan. As of March 31, 2021, there remains a maximum potential of 432,652 additional units eligible for attainment under the plan. Quarterly measurements of attainment will continue through September 30, 2022.

As part of the Company's fiscal 2020 acquisition of Data Plus Math ("DPM"), $24.4 million of the acquisition consideration otherwise payable with respect to shares of DPM common stock held by certain key employees was subject to holdback by the Company pursuant to agreements with those employees (each, a "Holdback Agreement"). Each Holdback Agreement specifies that the consideration holdback will vest in three equal annual increments on the anniversary of the closing date (which date may be changed by the board of directors to an earlier date). Vesting is subject to the DPM key employees' continued employment through each annual vesting date and will be settled in shares of Company common stock. Through March 31, 2021, the Company had recognized a total of $14.2 million related to the DPM consideration holdback. At March 31, 2021, the recognized, but unpaid, balance related to the DPM consideration holdback in other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet was $6.1 million. The next annual settlement is expected to occur at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Pacific Data Partners ("PDP") Assumed Performance Plan

In connection with the fiscal 2018 acquisition of PDP, the Company assumed the outstanding performance compensation plan under the PDP 2018 Equity Compensation Plan ("PDP PSU plan"). During fiscal 2020, the Company converted the outstanding PDP PSU plan to a time-vesting restricted stock plan ("PDP RSU plan").

Through March 31, 2021, the Company has recognized a total of $56.4 million related to the PDP RSU plan. At March 31, 2021, the recognized, but unpaid, balance related to the liability-classified PDP RSU plan in other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet was $0.0 million. The final annual settlement is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In addition to the stock-based compensation plans, the Company maintains a qualified employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that permits substantially all employees to purchase shares of common stock at a discount from the market price. At March 31, 2021, there were approximately 0.4 million shares available for issuance under the ESPP, including 0.1 million shares subject to purchase in the current purchase period.

During the combined fiscal years of 2021, 2020, and 2019, 200,683 shares were purchased under the plan. The total expense to the Company, representing the discount to the market price, for fiscal 2021, 2020, and 2019 was approximately $1.0 million, $0.5 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive income accumulated balances of $7.5 million and $5.7 million at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively, reflect accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. enacted The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act included several significant changes and clarifications to existing tax law, including changes to the treatment of net operating losses (“NOLs”). Under the CARES Act, NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021 may be carried back to each of the five tax years preceding the tax year of the loss. As such, the Company plans to carry back its fiscal 2021 NOL, resulting in an expected refund of approximately $28 million. The Company was also able to carry back its fiscal 2020 NOL, resulting in an expected refund of approximately $33 million, also in fiscal 2022.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented below (dollars in thousands).

Accrued expenses	—		(2,189)
Total deferred tax liabilities	(23,798)		(23,739)
Net deferred tax assets	$	118	$	648

At March 31, 2021, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $34.3 million and $126.2 million for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. Of the net operating loss carryforwards, $24.0 million and $18.9 million will not expire for federal and state purposes, respectively. The remaining carryforwards will expire in various amounts and will completely expire if not used by 2041. The Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $101.0 million. Of this amount, $90.2 million do not have expiration dates. The remainder expires in various amounts and will completely expire if not used by 2031. The Company has federal and state credit carryforwards of $5.4 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Of the state credit carryforwards, $5.2 million will not expire. The remaining credit carryforwards will expire in various amounts and will completely expire if not used by 2041.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is dependent upon its generation of sufficient taxable income of the proper character in future years in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences and the use of net operating loss and credit carryforwards.

Based upon the weight of available evidence, including the Company’s history of losses from continuing operations, management believes that it is not more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of the deductible temporary differences and net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Accordingly, the Company has established valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets.

Based upon the Company's history of losses in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Company has not recorded a benefit for current foreign losses in these jurisdictions. In addition, management believes it is not more than likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards and has established valuation allowances in the amount of $26.0 million against deferred tax assets in such jurisdictions. No valuation allowance has been established against deferred tax assets in non-U.S. jurisdictions in which historical profits and forecasted continuing profits exist.

The following table sets forth changes in the total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):


	Year ended March 31,
	2021		2020		2019
Balance at beginning of period	$	23,400	$	19,600	$	15,415
Increases related to prior year tax positions	—		2,458		325
Decreases related to prior year tax positions	(139)		(1,048)		(292)
Increases related to current year tax positions	1,765		2,433		5,483

Lapse of statute of limitations	—		(43)		(1,331)
Balance at end of period	$	25,026	$	23,400	$	19,600

Gross unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021 was $25.0 million, of which $22.6 million would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods if and when realized. The Company reports accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions on tax returns was approximately $3.5 million as of March 31, 2021. Accrued interest and penalties increased by $1.0 million during fiscal 2021. The Company does not anticipate a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company’s subsidiaries also file tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions in which they operate. In the U.S., the statute of limitations for Internal Revenue Service examinations remains open for the Company’s federal income tax returns for fiscal years after 2013. The status of U.S. federal, state and foreign tax examinations varies by jurisdiction. The Company does not anticipate any material adjustments to its financial statements resulting from tax examinations currently in progress.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

12 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value. Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

For certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, certificates of deposit, and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these balances.

The following tables detail the fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):


	March 31, 2021
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Other current assets:

Assets of non-qualified retirement plan	$	15,838	$	—	$	—	$	15,838

Total	$	11,623	$	—	$	—	$	11,623

Strategic investments consist of non-controlling equity investments in privately held companies. The Company elected the measurement alternative for these investments without readily determinable fair values and for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. These investments are accounted for under the cost method of accounting. Under the cost method of accounting, the non-marketable equity securities are carried at cost less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, which is recorded within the statement of operations. The Company held $5.7 million of strategic investments without readily determinable fair values at March 31, 2021 and $3.5 million of strategic investments without readily determinable fair values at March 31, 2020. These investments are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. There were no impairment charges for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

- Definition

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation -

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates -In preparing consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, we must make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used in determining, among other items, revenue recognition criteria, allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, restructuring and impairment accruals, litigation and facilities lease loss accruals, stock-based compensation, and the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes, including the measurement of uncertain tax positions.

Operating Segments

Operating Segments -

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations -Discontinued operations comprise those activities that have been disposed of during the period or that have been classified as held for sale at the end of the period and represent a separate major line of business or geographical area that can be clearly distinguished for operational and financial reporting purposes. In fiscal 2019, the Company sold its Acxiom Marketing Solutions business (“AMS”) and began reporting the results of operations, cash flows and the balance sheet amounts pertaining to AMS as a component of discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. The amount recorded in fiscal 2020 relates to the final working capital true-up and receipt of final proceeds.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents -The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank deposit accounts and short-term, highly-liquid money-market fund investments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition -

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

•Determination of the transaction price;

•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

•Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.

Determination of the transaction price

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied

Accounts Receivable

Deferred Revenue

Deferred Commissions, net

Deferred Commissions, net - The Company capitalizes incremental costs to acquire contracts and amortizes them on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we have determined to be four years. Net capitalized costs of $6.6 million and $5.3 million were recognized as a reduction of operating expense for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We did not recognize any impairment charges in fiscal 2021, 2020, or 2019.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment -Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: leasehold improvements, 5 - 7 years; data processing equipment, 2 - 5 years, and office furniture and other equipment, 3 - 7 years.

Operating Leases

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers -

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts, or other hedging arrangements.

The Company’s trade accounts receivables are from a large number of customers. Accordingly, the Company’s credit risk is affected by general economic conditions.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation -

Restricted stock units may be issued under the equity compensation plan and represent the right to receive shares in the future by way of an award agreement that includes vesting provisions. Award agreements can further provide for forfeitures triggered by certain prohibited activities, such as breach of confidentiality. All restricted stock units are expensed over the vesting period and adjusted for forfeitures as incurred. The vesting of some restricted stock units is subject to the Company’s achievement of certain performance criteria, as well as the individual remaining employed by the Company for a period of years.The Company receives income tax deductions because of the exercise of non-qualified stock options and the vesting of other stock-based awards. To the extent the income tax deductions differ from the corresponding stock-based compensation expense, such excess tax benefits and deficiencies are included as a component of income tax expense and reflected as an operating cash flow included in changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Restructuring

Restructuring –The Company records costs associated with employee terminations and other exit activity in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, depending on whether the costs relate to exit or disposal activities under the accounting standards, or whether they are other post-employment termination benefits. Under applicable accounting standards for exit or disposal costs, the Company records employee termination benefits as an operating expense when the benefit arrangement is communicated to the employee and no significant future services are required. Under the accounting standards related to post employment termination benefits the Company records employee termination benefits when the termination benefits are probable and can be estimated. The Company recognizes the present value of facility lease termination obligations, net of estimated sublease income and other exit costs, when the Company has future payments with no future economic benefit or a commitment to pay the termination costs of a prior commitment. In future periods the Company will record accretion expense to increase the liability to an amount equal to the estimated future cash payments necessary to exit the leases. This requires judgment and management estimation to determine the expected time frame for securing a subtenant, the amount of sublease income to be received and the appropriate discount rate to calculate the present value of the future cash flows. Should actual lease exit costs differ from estimates, the Company may be required to adjust the restructuring charge within gains, losses and other items, net in the consolidated statement of operations in the period any adjustment is recorded.
