Allocate the transaction price:
Fixed term subscription and perpetual license performance obligations are sold for a broad range of amounts
(that is, selling price is highly variable) and a representative standalone selling price is not discernible from past
transactions or other observable evidence. As a result, the standalone selling price for fixed term subscriptions
or perpetual licenses included in a contract with multiple performance obligations is determined by applying a
residual approach whereby performance obligations with observable standalone selling prices are first allocated
a portion of the transaction price based on their respective standalone selling prices, with the residual amount of
the transaction price allocated to the fixed term subscription or perpetual license.
Standalone selling price for all SaaS, Cloud Hosting, Maintenance Services and other Services are determined
based on observable pricing.
Recognize Revenue:
SaaS and cloud hosting revenue are recognised evenly over time as services are provided. Our performance
obligation for SaaS arrangements is a right to access and use of our software for a certain term and with hosting
arrangements it is to host the software for a certain term. Performance for both types of obligations is measured
on a time elapsed basis. Therefore, revenue is recognised ratably over the contract term.
Software subscription and license revenue is recognised at a point in time, when the license key is delivered to
the customer enabling the customer to download the software, but not earlier than the start of the contractual
license term. Revenue for license renewals is recognised at the start of the renewal period. Where a license is
sold as part of a bundle and is not considered distinct in the context of the contract, revenue is recognized
ratably over the subscription period for which the bundled services are provided.
Maintenance revenue is recognised ratably over the term of the support arrangement, as the performance
obligation is satisfied over time. Maintenance services are a stand-ready performance obligation to provide
technical product support and unspecified updates, upgrades, and enhancements on a when-and-if- available
basis. Customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of these support services as Sitecore
performs.
Education service revenue is recognised over time as services are delivered. Consulting services revenue is
recognised over time based on percentage of completion method measuring performance progress based on
actual time incurred compared to the estimated budgeted time required to fully deliver a service. Significant
judgment is required in estimating budgeted time. We use hour history with similar projects when estimating
total budgets required to deliver a consulting service.
Costs to obtain a contract:
The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers that are
directly associated with the contract if those costs are expected to be recoverable and records them in “Deferred
Expenses” in the consolidated balance sheet. Incremental costs of obtaining contracts are those costs that the
Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that would not have been incurred if the contract had not
been obtained.
The costs capitalised are primarily sales commissions paid to our sales force personnel as well as third party
partners. Capitalised costs may also include portions of fringe benefits and payroll taxes associated with
compensation for incremental costs to acquire customer contracts and incentive payments to partners.
Capitalised costs to obtain a contract are amortized over the expected period of benefit, which we have
determined to be 4 years. Amortisation of capitalised costs are presented in sales and marketing expense in our
consolidated statements of profit and loss. Sales and partner commissions payable are presented in Accrued and
Other Payables and Trade Payables, respectively.
