 represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. We account for modifications to employee contributions as they occur.

We recognize stock-based compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. We account for forfeitures as they occur. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to ESPP on a straight-line basis over the term of each ESPP offering period, which is generally two years.

The assumptions are based on the following for each of the years presented:

•Expected volatility—Expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate. The Company utilized the average historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies over a period equal to the expected term prior to sufficient historical volatility of our stock being available, and uses the historical volatility of our common stock to estimate expected volatility over the expected term for new awards.

•Expected term—Expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The expected term assumptions are determined based on the vesting terms, exercise terms, and contractual lives of the awards. The expected term of the ESPP represents the period of time that purchase rights are expected to be outstanding.

•Risk-free rate—We use the U.S. Treasury yield for our risk-free interest rate that corresponds with the expected term.

•Dividend yield—We utilize a dividend yield of zero, as we do not currently issue dividends, nor do we expect to do so in the future.

•Fair value of common stock—Prior to our direct listing, we estimated the fair value of common stock. The fair value of common stock for purposes of ESPP purchases is based on the stock price on the first date of the respective offering period.

Lease Obligations

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by determining if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration and other facts and circumstances. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, we consider only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on our understanding of what its credit rating would be.
