NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Preparation—The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Fortinet, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which includes normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any future periods. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fortinet, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We consolidate all legal entities in which we have an absolute controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in common stock or in-substance common stock of entities that provide us with the ability to exercise significant influence, but not an absolute controlling financial interest, over the investee are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments accounted for under the equity method are initially recorded at cost. Subsequently, we recognize our proportionate share of the entities’ net income or loss and the amortization of any basis differences through the condensed consolidated statements of income and as an adjustment to the investment balance. We record our share of the results of equity method investments on a three-month lag basis as income or loss from equity method investments, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We evaluate our equity method investments at the end of each reporting period to determine whether events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. As of September 30, 2021, our investment in Linksys Holdings, Inc. (“Linksys”) was our only equity method investment.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12—Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application and simplification of GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 was effective for us beginning on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective
Business Combinations
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08—Business Combinations (“Topic 805”): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 require that an entity
FORTINET, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
recognizes and measures contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments improve comparability for both the recognition and measurement of acquired revenue contracts with customers at the date of and after a business combination. ASU 2021-08 will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2021-08 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Our revenue consists of product and service revenue. Product revenue is generated by our FortiGate network security products, our Fortinet Security Fabric platform products and other products.

Deferred Revenue
During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we recognized $309.2 million and $263.1 million in service revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we recognized $1.10 billion and $921.7 million in service revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $3.11 billion, which was substantially comprised of deferred security subscription and technical support services revenue. We expect to recognize approximately $1.62 billion as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
Accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. Our accounts receivable balance is reduced by an allowance for expected credit losses. We measure expected credit losses of accounts receivable on a collective (pooled) basis, aggregating accounts receivable that are either current or no more than 60 days past due, and aggregating accounts receivable that are more than 60 days past due. We apply a credit-loss percentage to each of the pools that is based on our historical credit losses. We review whether each of our significant accounts receivable that is more than 60 days past due continues to exhibit similar risk characteristics with the other accounts receivable in the pool. If we determine that it does not, we evaluate it for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Expected credit losses are recorded as general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of income.
