Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Trupanion, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company) is a direct-to-consumer monthly subscription service provider of a medical plan for cats and dogs throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified within the Company’s consolidated financial statements from their original presentation to conform with the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, warrant liabilities, claims reserve, useful lives of software developed for internal use and income tax uncertainties. Actual results could differ from the estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At times, cash on deposit may be in excess of the applicable federal deposit insurance corporation limits.

Restricted Cash
The Company considers any cash account that is restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain financing agreements as restricted cash. Cash will be considered restricted for so long as any obligations are outstanding. Restricted cash pledged as collateral for the term loan totaled $3.0 million as of December 31, 2013. During 2014, this outstanding term loan was repaid in full, which also resulted in a release of the Company’s restricted cash.
Accounts and Other Receivable
Receivables are comprised of trade receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, receivables included $6.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively, for one-year policies written by an unaffiliated general agent.
No single customer made up more than 5% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.
Deferred Acquisition Costs
The Company incurs certain costs related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal customer contracts, which are capitalized. These costs include premium taxes, commissions, and referral fees that directly relate to the successful acquisition of new or renewal customer contracts. Deferred acquisition costs are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over the related policy term to the applicable financial statement line item, including sales and marketing expenses and other cost of revenue. Total deferred acquisition costs for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are summarized below (in thousands):

Investments
The Company recognizes the following classifications of investments:
Short-term-investments—Investments with an initial maturity of less than one year are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Available-for-Sale—Investments in fixed maturities not classified as short-term-investments are reported at fair value, and the temporary declines or increases from amortized cost are included as a component of other comprehensive income.
Available-for-sale securities are classified based upon the availability to be used in current operations.
Premiums and discounts on fixed maturity securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the security. Such amortization expense and accretion is included in interest income. Interest income is recognized in other income when earned.
A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below amortized cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment to reduce the amortized cost to fair value or recovery value. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers its intent to sell the security, intent and ability to hold the security, as well as all available information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, when developing estimates of cash flows expected to be collected. Realized capital gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and recorded as a part of other expense, net in the statement of operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining term of the related lease.
Costs related to software developed for internal use are primarily related to the Company’s website, internal support systems, and proprietary billing and claims systems. Costs are capitalized during the application development stage of the project and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, estimated between three and five years, once the software is placed into service.
Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not amortized, are assessed for impairment at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. The Company first performs a qualitative analysis to assess whether it is more likely than not the asset is impaired and, if necessary, a quantitative analysis is performed to measure impairment.
Assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated remaining useful life.
Asset Impairment
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Claims Reserve
Claims reserve includes unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses, which includes an estimate, based on past experience, for claims incurred but not reported. Such liabilities are necessarily based on assumptions and estimates, and while management believes the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed, and any adjustments are reflected in the period in which they become known.
Warrants
The Company issued warrants to purchase common or convertible preferred stock to third parties as a part of certain business and financing transactions. The Company values warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Certain warrants were considered liability awards and were remeasured each reporting period until exercised, settled or reclassified to stockholders’ equity. See Note 12 for additional information.

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily from subscription fees for its medical insurance plan and other policies the Company writes, which is earned pro rata over the terms of the customer contracts.
No single customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company’s revenue in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
Claims Expense
Claims expenses include claims incurred, the cost of personnel administering the claims and providing customer service related to claims, and other operating expenses directly or indirectly related to claims administration.
Other Cost of Revenue
Other cost of revenue includes direct and indirect customer service expenses, credit card transaction fees, premium tax expenses and expenses related to an unaffiliated general agent.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist of referral fees paid with respect to newly enrolled pets, print, online and promotional advertising costs and employee compensation and related costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related expenses for the Company’s finance, actuarial, human resources, business development and general management functions, as well as facilities and professional services.
Technology and Development
Technology and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related expenses for the Company’s operations staff, which includes information technology development and infrastructure support, third-party services and depreciation of hardware and amortization of capitalized software and intangible assets.

Fronting Agreement
For the Company’s Canadian business, all plans are written by Omega General Insurance Company (Omega) and the risk is assumed by the Company through a fronting and reinsurance agreement. Omega retains an annual fee for fronting the Company’s insurance business in Canada, and all risks are retained within the Company. Premiums are recognized and earned pro rata over the terms of the related customer contracts. Premiums recognized from the agreement in 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $29.1 million, $24.7 million and $20.7 million, respectively and deferred revenue relating to this arrangement at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Reinsurance revenue was 25%, 29% and 37% of total revenue in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash designated for the purpose of paying claims related to this reinsurance agreement was $1.7 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company has not transferred any risk to third-party reinsurers.
Other Policies
In November 2012, the Company began writing one-year pet insurance policies for an unaffiliated general agent. Revenue during 2014, 2013 and 2012 totaled $10.0 million, $7.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and deferred revenue relating to this arrangement at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $5.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $3.2 million, $0.7 million and $0.3 million, in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based transactions to employees at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes such cost, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally four years). Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted stock awards is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant.
The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation to non-employees at fair value and remeasures the award each period until the award vests.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided for when it is considered more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized. Penalties and interest are classified as a component of income taxes.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses for each subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using a weighted-average rate for the relevant reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations for monetary asset and liability balances that are not denominated in an entity’s functional currency are included within other income.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. The Company manages its risk by investing cash equivalents and investment securities in money market instruments and securities of the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies and high-credit-quality issuers of debt securities.
Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is dispersed due to the large number of customers. In addition, the Company’s credit risk is mitigated by the relatively short collection period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU) amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Insurance contracts are excluded from the scope of this new guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited, and must be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Net Loss per Share
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Excluded from the weighted-average number of shares outstanding are shares that have been issued and are subject to future vesting and unvested restricted stock. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible preferred stock, warrants for the purchase of convertible preferred stock and common stock, exchangeable shares, unvested restricted stock and stock options. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.
The following potential dilutive equity securities are not included in the diluted net loss per common share calculation because they would have had an antidilutive effect:

Intangible Assets (Notes)
Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]
Intangible Assets
The Company acquired an insurance company in 2007, which originally included licenses in 23 states. These licenses were valued at $4.8 million. The Company is currently licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Most licenses are renewed annually upon payment of various fees assessed by the issuing state. Renewal costs are expensed as incurred. This is considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset given the planned renewal of the certificates of authority and applicable licenses for the foreseeable future. No impairments have been recorded on this asset as of December 31, 2014.
The Company has another intangible asset, which is being amortized over the expected useful life of the asset. The amortization expense for 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0.1 million, $0.04 million and $0, respectively, and the value of the intangible asset at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The Company had one investment with an unrealized loss of $0.1 million and a fair value of $0.9 million at December 31, 2014. This investment has been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The Company assessed the bond for credit impairment and determined that there is no intent to sell this bond and it is likely that it will hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery. Further, future payments on this bond are insured by a financial guarantee insurer. Therefore, the Company believes that the unrealized loss on this bond constitutes a temporary impairment.
Fair Value
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]
Fair Value
The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.
When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs: Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Changes in fair value upon remeasurement are recorded in other (income) expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company estimates fair value for its long-term debt based upon rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. This is a Level 3 measurement. Based upon the terms of the debt, the carrying amount of long term debt approximated fair value at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Investment securities: Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are measured using quoted market prices when quoted market prices are available. If quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets are not available to determine fair value, then the Company uses quoted prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from observable market data obtained from third-party data providers. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost and the fair value is disclosed in Note 3. Fair value is determined in the same manner as available-for-sale securities and is considered a Level 2 measurement.
Warrant liabilities: These liabilities are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model using certain unobservable inputs that are estimated by the Company. These inputs include a measure of volatility using an average of peer companies’ publicly traded stock volatility, expected dividend payments based on management’s assertion that no dividends will be paid in the near term, the remaining contractual term and a discount rate using an average equivalent bond yield calculation. The range of inputs used is as follows:
 
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
 
2014
 
2013
Expected volatility
34%-46%
 
35%–43%
Expected dividends

—%
Risk-free rate
0.03%-2.02%
 
0.1%–2.10%
Term
0.1-6.0 years
 
0.3–6.3 years


An increase or decrease in any of these unobservable inputs would result in a change in the fair value measurement, which may be significant. The liabilities were revalued each period-end until exercised, expired or modified to exclude recurring fair value measurement. Gains and losses on revaluation of the liabilities were recorded in other (income) expense, net in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Equity Method Investments
In May 2013, the Company and an equity method investee came to an agreement to exchange the Company’s investment for shares of the Company’s common stock held by the investee. In addition, the Company obtained an exclusivity agreement which was recorded as an intangible asset. Per the terms of the contract, any intellectual property developed as a part of this relationship is the property of the Company. A loss of $0.1 million was recognized on this transaction in 2013.

During 2013, the Company determined that it owes goods and services tax (GST) and harmonized sales tax (HST) in Canada for certain intercompany fees charged to its Canadian entities from 2007 through 2013. The Company began a voluntary self-disclosure with the Canada Revenue Agency for these unpaid taxes in 2014 under the Canada Revenue Agency Voluntary Disclosures Program, which was accepted in 2014. The Company has accrued $0.9 million of GST/HST tax for the 2007 through 2013 tax years, including interest, related to prior period GST/HST unpaid taxes.
The Company is involved from time to time in claims, regulatory examinations and litigation, including the following:
The Company’s subsidiary, APIC, a New York corporation, received an inquiry from the California Department of Insurance (CDOI) in 2011 alleging APIC’s trial insurance policies issued in California are in violation of California law. The Company has disputed this assertion. In July 2014, the CDOI filed a notice of non-compliance regarding this issue. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued liabilities of $0.4 million for this matter. On February 12, 2015, APIC and CDOI entered into a Stipulation and Waiver whereby APIC voluntarily agreed to remove its trial certificate program in favor of a new program that has been pre-approved by the CDOI. APIC also agreed to pay a fine and reimburse CDOI expenses in an aggregate amount of $0.4 million. Pursuant to the stipulation, APIC did not admit any wrongdoing and continues to believe that its program was permissible under California law; however, the Company determined that it was in its best interest to resolve the dispute amicably.
The Company received an inquiry from the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) in December 2012 concerning whether a subsidiary of the Company was properly licensed, and whether certain of its employees were properly licensed, under Washington law. The Company responded to this letter in January of 2013 confirming that our subsidiaries are licensed and that our employees are not required to be licensed under Washington law. In October 2013, OIC sent further correspondence informing APIC that the results of a market conduct examination regarding its use of unlicensed non-appointed producers were being referred to OIC’s enforcement committee and that such committee would notify APIC in the event action is taken in regard to possible violations. The Company received additional correspondence from the OIC in July 2014 informing it that the OIC is scheduling a regulatory examination to further assess the Company’s compliance. A regulatory examination took place during the third and fourth quarters of 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued liabilities of $0.2 million for this matter. Adverse outcomes beyond recorded amounts are reasonably possible. At this stage in the matter, however, the Company is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of possible loss beyond amounts accrued.
The outcomes of the Company’s legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to our operating results and cash flows for a particular period. The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability beyond previously accrued amounts has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.

The decrease in incurred claims for prior years in the year ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is primarily due to less claims than expected for 2013 and 2012 claims, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the increase in incurred claims for prior years is primarily due to unanticipated claims development in those years from prior year claims and the corresponding change in the estimates of ultimate liabilities for incurred claims.

(in thousands)
 
 
Line of credit
$14,900

July 23, 2016


The Company has a revolving line of credit with Square 1 Bank, which is secured by any and all interest the Company has in assets that are not otherwise restricted. The revolving line of credit bore a variable interest rate as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, equal to the greater of 5.0% or 1.5% plus the prime rate. Interest expense is due monthly on the outstanding principal amount with all amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit due upon maturity in July 2016. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. This facility also has a compensating balance requirement of $0.5 million.

Borrowings on the revolving line of credit were limited to the lesser of $20.0 million and $15.0 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively, and the total amount of cash and securities held by American Pet Insurance Company (APIC), less up to $0.5 million for obligations the Company may have outstanding for other ancillary services.

On March 28, 2013, the Company obtained a term loan from the same bank of $3.0 million in aggregate principal. The interest rate on the term loan was the greater of 5.5% or 2.0% plus the prime rate. All amounts outstanding under the term loan, including principal and accrued interest, were payable in 30 equal monthly installments beginning on April 28, 2014. During July 2014, this outstanding term loan was repaid in full, which also resulted in a release of the Company’s restricted cash.

On December 23, 2013, the Company obtained a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $12.0 million. This note was entered into at a discount of $3.8 million related to the issuance of warrants being deducted from the principal amount. On July 2, 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement in relation to this existing $12.0 million term loan for a secured subordinated term loan totaling $29.0 million, which reflected an increase of $17.0 million from the prior agreement. The amended principal amount was entered into at an additional discount of $1.1 million as a result of the issuance of warrants. The term loan bore a fixed interest rate of 11.0% per year and was due on the earlier of three years from the issue date or certain triggering events, including a qualifying IPO, which would result in a 1.5% prepayment premium on the $17.0 million increase related to the amendment. The $29.0 million term loan was repaid in full on July 23, 2014, including $0.9 million in accrued interest and a prepayment fee of $0.3 million. The unamortized discount on debt totaling $4.4 million was included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.
Interest expense during 2014, 2013 and 2012 related to all loans was $6.7 million, $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Total maturities of debt in 2015 and 2016 are $0 and $14.9 million, respectively.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation

In June 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (2014 Plan), which succeeded the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan upon the Company’s IPO. The 2014 Plan authorizes the award of stock options or restricted stock to directors, officers, employees, and non-employees. All awards have 10-year contractual terms. At December 31, 2014, there were 2,252,752 additional shares available for the Company to grant under the 2014 Plan.
Stock Options
The grant date fair value of stock option awards are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Valuation assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are presented in the following table:

Expected term: The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. As the Company does not have sufficient historical experience for determining the expected term of stock-based awards granted, the expected term for awards issued to employees is based on the simplified method, which represents the average period from vesting to the expiration of the stock option.
Expected volatility: As the Company does not have significant trading history for common stock, the expected stock price volatility for common stock is estimated by taking the average historical price volatility for identified peers based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. The Company does not rely on implied volatilities of traded options in identified peers’ common stock because the volume of activity is relatively low. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using these or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s common stock price becomes available.
Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant.
Expected dividend yield: The Company does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

During the third quarter of 2014, 116,877 shares of restricted stock, which were subject to a performance condition relating to the Company’s IPO, vested and resulted in $1.6 million of expense included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of these vested shares was approximately $1.2 million. The remaining 584,385 shares of unvested restricted stock related to this agreement are expected to vest over the remaining service term of approximately five years.
Stock-based compensation expense includes stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards granted to employees and non-employees, and is reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in claims expenses, other cost of revenue, sales and marketing, technology and development, and general and administrative expenses depending on the function performed by the employee or non-employee. The Company measures stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis, except for the restricted stock with a performance condition which is measured on a graded vesting schedule.

Stockholder's Equity (Notes)
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]
Stockholders Equity
On July 23, 2014 the Company completed an IPO pursuant to which 8,193,750 shares of common stock were sold to the public at a price of $10.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $72.8 million from the IPO. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of outstanding convertible preferred stock and exchangeable shares automatically converted into 14,944,945 and 2,247,130 shares of common stock, respectively. If this transaction had taken place on January 1, 2014, the Company’s weighted-average shares outstanding for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 would have been 27,067,167.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had 200,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 27,830,941 shares of common stock outstanding. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Company except those related to matters concerning possible outstanding preferred stock. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of undesignated shares of preferred stock authorized for future issuance and did not have any outstanding shares of preferred stock. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the board of directors of the Company, whenever funds are legally available. These rights are subordinate to the dividend rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding at the time. The Company is unable to pay dividends to stockholders as of December 31, 2014 due to restrictions in its credit agreements.
Warrants
Immediately prior to the Company’s IPO, there were warrants to purchase 1,164,085 shares of common stock outstanding, of which warrants to purchase 415,646 of shares of common stock were issued on July 2, 2014 in connection with an amended and restated credit agreement that contained terms modifying the exercise price and number of underlying shares upon completion of an IPO, resulting in historical liability classification in the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the closing of the IPO, the number of shares underlying these warrants was adjusted to 869,999 shares, and the exercise price of each warrant was adjusted to $10.00 per share. These warrants were also revalued resulting in a gain of $2.0 million, which was recorded in other (income) expense, net in the statement of operations. Immediately following the IPO, these warrants were no longer subject to contractual modification provisions and were reclassified from a liability classification to an equity classification on the consolidated balance sheet.

Upon issuance of each warrant, the fair value of the warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and recorded as a deferred financing cost and amortized over the term of the related financing agreement. Common stock warrants had provisions modifying both the strike price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants upon certain events, which resulted in liability classification in the consolidated balance sheet. At the end of each reporting period prior to the IPO, the Company adjusted the fair value of the warrants (see Note 6). There was significant judgment used in determining the unobservable inputs used in valuing these instruments. A change in the inputs used, particularly related to the fair value of the underlying shares, could have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value estimate.
Segments
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]
Segments
The Company has two segments: subscription business and other business. The subscription business segment includes monthly subscriptions related to the Company’s medical plan, while the other business segment includes all other business, including policies written for third parties and policies written under a federal government program. The chief operating decision maker uses two measures to evaluate segment performance: revenue and gross profit. Corporate operating expenses, interest and other expenses, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments, nor included in the measure of segment profit or loss. The Company does not analyze discrete segment balance sheet information related to assets. In the first quarter of 2015, employer paid contracts will be included in the other business segment based upon changes to management financial reporting as of January 1, 2015.

Dividend Restrictions and Statutory Surplus
The Company’s business operations are conducted through subsidiaries, one of which is an insurance company domiciled in New York. In addition to general state law restrictions on payments of dividends and other distributions to stockholders applicable to all corporations, insurance companies are subject to further regulations that, among other things, may require such companies to maintain certain levels of equity and restrict the amount of dividends and other distributions that may be paid to their parent corporations.
Under regulatory requirements at December 31, 2014, the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Company’s insurance subsidiary to the Company without prior approval by regulatory authorities was approximately $0.04 million. During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s insurance subsidiary did not pay any dividends to the Company.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $44.4 million. Use of the carryforwards is limited based on the future income of the Company. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2027. Approximately $2.2 million of the net operating loss carryforwards relate to tax deductible stock-based compensation in excess of amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. To the extent that net operating loss carryforwards, if realized, relate to excess stock-based compensation, the resulting tax benefits will be recorded to stockholders’ equity (deficit), rather than to results of operations. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards may be limited if the Company experiences an ownership change.
A valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013, because the Company’s management has determined that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be fully realized.
The Company is open to examination by the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction for the years ended December 31, 2011 through 2014. The Company is also open to examination for 2006 and forward with respect to net operating loss carryforwards generated and carried forward from those years in the United States. The Company is open to examination by the Canada Revenue Agency for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 2014.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process of evaluating recognition and measurement criteria. The first step assesses whether the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority, including resolution of any appeals or litigation, on the basis of the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not criteria, the portion of the tax benefit greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority is recognized in the financial statements. Net unrecognized tax benefits, interest, and penalties not expected to be settled within one year are included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. No significant changes in uncertain tax positions are expected in the next twelve months.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based transactions to employees at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes such cost, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally four years). Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units (RSUs) and restricted stock awards is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant.
The Company measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation to non-employees at fair value and remeasures the award each period until the award vests.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses for each subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using a weighted-average rate for the relevant reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations for monetary asset and liability balances that are not denominated in an entity’s functional currency are included within other income.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. The Company manages its risk by investing cash equivalents and investment securities in money market instruments and securities of the U.S. government, U.S. government agencies and high-credit-quality issuers of debt securities.
Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is dispersed due to the large number of customers. In addition, the Company’s credit risk is mitigated by the relatively short collection period.
Description of Business
Trupanion, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company) is a direct-to-consumer monthly subscription service provider of a medical plan for cats and dogs throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified within the Company’s consolidated financial statements from their original presentation to conform with the current period presentation
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, warrant liabilities, claims reserve, useful lives of software developed for internal use and income tax uncertainties. Actual results could differ from the estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided for when it is considered more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized. Penalties and interest are classified as a component of income taxes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU) amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Insurance contracts are excluded from the scope of this new guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption prohibited, and must be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Claims Expense
Claims expenses include claims incurred, the cost of personnel administering the claims and providing customer service related to claims, and other operating expenses directly or indirectly related to claims administration.
Other Cost of Revenue
Other cost of revenue includes direct and indirect customer service expenses, credit card transaction fees, premium tax expenses and expenses related to an unaffiliated general agent.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist of referral fees paid with respect to newly enrolled pets, print, online and promotional advertising costs and employee compensation and related costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related expenses for the Company’s finance, actuarial, human resources, business development and general management functions, as well as facilities and professional services.
Technology and Development
Technology and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and related expenses for the Company’s operations staff, which includes information technology development and infrastructure support, third-party services and depreciation of hardware and amortization of capitalized software and intangible assets.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At times, cash on deposit may be in excess of the applicable federal deposit insurance corporation limits.

Restricted Cash
The Company considers any cash account that is restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain financing agreements as restricted cash. Cash will be considered restricted for so long as any obligations are outstanding. Restricted cash pledged as collateral for the term loan totaled $3.0 million as of December 31, 2013. During 2014, this outstanding term loan was repaid in full, which also resulted in a release of the Company’s restricted cash.
Accounts and Other Receivable
Receivables are comprised of trade receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, receivables included $6.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively, for one-year policies written by an unaffiliated general agent.
No single customer made up more than 5% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.
Deferred Acquisition Costs
The Company incurs certain costs related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal customer contracts, which are capitalized. These costs include premium taxes, commissions, and referral fees that directly relate to the successful acquisition of new or renewal customer contracts. Deferred acquisition costs are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over the related policy term to the applicable financial statement line item, including sales and marketing expenses and other cost of revenue.
Investments
The Company recognizes the following classifications of investments:
Short-term-investments—Investments with an initial maturity of less than one year are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Available-for-Sale—Investments in fixed maturities not classified as short-term-investments are reported at fair value, and the temporary declines or increases from amortized cost are included as a component of other comprehensive income.
Available-for-sale securities are classified based upon the availability to be used in current operations.
Premiums and discounts on fixed maturity securities are amortized or accreted over the life of the security. Such amortization expense and accretion is included in interest income. Interest income is recognized in other income when earned.
A decline in the fair value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below amortized cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment to reduce the amortized cost to fair value or recovery value. To determine whether an impairment is other than temporary, the Company considers its intent to sell the security, intent and ability to hold the security, as well as all available information relevant to the collectability of the security, including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, when developing estimates of cash flows expected to be collected. Realized capital gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and recorded as a part of other expense, net in the statement of operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining term of the related lease.
Costs related to software developed for internal use are primarily related to the Company’s website, internal support systems, and proprietary billing and claims systems. Costs are capitalized during the application development stage of the project and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, estimated between three and five years, once the software is placed into service.
Intangible Assets
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not amortized, are assessed for impairment at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. The Company first performs a qualitative analysis to assess whether it is more likely than not the asset is impaired and, if necessary, a quantitative analysis is performed to measure impairment.
Assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated remaining useful life.
Asset Impairment
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Claims Reserve
Claims reserve includes unpaid claims and claims adjustment expenses, which includes an estimate, based on past experience, for claims incurred but not reported. Such liabilities are necessarily based on assumptions and estimates, and while management believes the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed, and any adjustments are reflected in the period in which they become known.
Warrants
The Company issued warrants to purchase common or convertible preferred stock to third parties as a part of certain business and financing transactions. The Company values warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Certain warrants were considered liability awards and were remeasured each reporting period until exercised, settled or reclassified to stockholders’ equity. See Note 12 for additional information.

Segments (Tables)
The Company has two segments: subscription business and other business. The subscription business segment includes monthly subscriptions related to the Company’s medical plan, while the other business segment includes all other business, including policies written for third parties and policies written under a federal government program. The chief operating decision maker uses two measures to evaluate segment performance: revenue and gross profit. Corporate operating expenses, interest and other expenses, and income taxes are not allocated to the segments, nor included in the measure of segment profit or loss. The Company does not analyze discrete segment balance sheet information related to assets. In the first quarter of 2015, employer paid contracts will be included in the other business segment based upon changes to management financial reporting as of January 1, 2015.

Revenue and gross profit of the Company’s segments were as follows (in thousands):
