OneSpan Inc. (OSPN) Investigation
The investigation centers on whether OneSpan manipulated its financial statements, including overstating revenues.
In past quarters, OneSpan has touted its "record revenues" and nearly 20% year-over-year revenue growth, identifying its software license business as a "key driver" for the success. The company has also assured investors that its internal controls over financial reporting were effective.
But on Aug. 4, 2020, OneSpan postponed its Q2 2020 earnings release and conference call by 1 week, blaming the delay on prior period revenue recognition problems relating to certain software license contracts. According to OneSpan, "[t]he net contract assets that originated from a portion of these assets in prior periods were not properly accounted for in subsequent periods, which caused overstatements of revenue."
Then, on Aug. 11, 2020, OneSpan (1) announced it would not timely file its Q2 2020 financial statements on Form 10Q with the SEC, (2) revealed the revenue recognition problems stretched from Q1 2018 through Q1 2019, (3) reported that same quarter year-over-year revenues had declined, and (4) withdrew its FY 2020 earnings guidance. This news drove the price of OneSpan shares crashing nearly 40% lower the next day.
"We're focused on investor losses and whether OneSpan engaged in revenue recognition fraud," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
