Income Taxes	3 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Mar. 31, 2021
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	7. Income Taxes The income tax expense relates principally to the Company’s foreign operations. The Company is required to compute income tax expense in each jurisdiction in which it operates. This process requires the Company to project its current tax liability and estimate its deferred tax assets and liabilities, including net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry-forwards. In assessing the ability to realize the net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a valuation allowance against its remaining U.S. net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, based upon the level of historical U.S. losses and future projections over the period in which the net deferred tax assets are deductible, at this time, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Debt	3 Months Ended
Debt	Mar. 31, 2021
Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	9. Debt On December 28, 2020 , the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with a lender (the “Loan Agreement”) providing for up to a $ 30.0 million asset-based line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). Borrowings under the Line of Credit are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding its intellectual property. Outstanding amounts under the Line of Credit accrue interest at a rate as follows: (i) for prime rate advances, the greater of (A) the prime rate and (B) 4 %, and (ii) for LIBOR advances, the greater of (A) the LIBOR rate plus 225 basis points and (B) 4 %. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio. If the outstanding principal during any month is at least $15.0 million, the Company must also maintain a minimum net income threshold based on non-GAAP operating measures. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the lenders under the Line of Credit to declare all amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. The Line of Credit agreement will expire on December 28, 2023 . The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit as of March 31, 2021 and there were no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2021.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share by dividing the earnings (loss) amount by the number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share includes the effects of the assumed exercise of any outstanding stock options and the assumed vesting of shares of

estricted stock awards, where dilutive.

The following table set forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Net income (in thousands)	$	5,130
Weighted average shares used in computing basic earnings per share		40,154,035

Weighted average shares used in computing diluted earnings per share		42,480,121
Net income per share—basic and diluted
Basic	$	0.13
Diluted	$	0.12

The following outstanding common shares have been excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings (loss) per share as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, because such securities are anti-dilutive:

Business Description and Basis of Presentation	1. Business Description and Basis of Presentation Business Description Brightcove Inc. (the Company) is a leading global provider of cloud services for video which enable its customers to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices quickly, easily and in a cost-effective and high-quality manner. The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 24, 2004. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. These interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingencies	Mar. 31, 2021
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	8. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company, from time to time, is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company based on the status of proceedings at this time. Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations The Company typically enters into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses and costs incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s customers, in connection with patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property or personal right infringement claims by third parties with respect to the Company’s technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. Based on when customers first subscribe for the Company’s service, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under certain of these indemnification agreements is unlimited, however, more recently the Company has typically limited the maximum potential value of such potential future payments in relation to the value of the contract. Based on historical experience and information known as of March 31, 2021, the Company has not incurred any costs for the above guarantees and indemnities. The Company has received requests for indemnification from customers in connection with patent infringement suits brought against the customer by a third party. To date, the Company has not agreed that the requested indemnification is required by the Company’s contract with any such customer. In certain circumstances, the Company warrants that its products and services will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specification documentation in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products and services to the customer for the warranty period of the product or service. To date, the Company has not incurred significant expense under its warranties and, as a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The following details the changes in the Company’s reserve allowance for estimated credit losses for accounts receivable for the period:


	Allowance for Credit Losses
	(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2020	$	648
Current provision for credit losses		46

Recoveries		—

Estimated credit losses for unbilled trade accounts receivable were not material.

Other (Benefit) Expense

Other (benefit) expense, reflects other operating costs (or benefits) that do not directly relate to research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and merger related.

On March 27, 2020, in response to the

COVID-19

pandemic, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act which was amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act in December of 2020 (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including the creation of certain refundable employee

retention credits. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a benefit of $1,965 from the CARES Act related to employee retention credits. The Company recognizes such government relief when it is reasonably assured that it qualifies for the relief, the underlying expense has been incurred and it is probable that the Company will receive it. Credits associated with government relief are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expense the related costs for which the relief is intended to compensate.
