Product Revenue
Product revenue decreased $20.5 million, or 13%, to $136.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 from $156.8 million during the year
ended December 31, 2013. Product revenue primarily decreased $11.6 million, $6.2 million and $3.7 million in the global retail, direct-to-consumer, and
kiosk sales channels, respectively. This was partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in the corporate sales channel. The decrease in product revenue was
driven by lower prices on our Rosetta Stone language-learning product software bundle driven by promotional pricing in our Consumer segment, increased
levels of daily deals, and a shift in our sales channel mix.
Subscription and Service Revenue
Subscription and service revenue increased $17.7 million, or 16%, to $125.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in
subscription and service revenues was due to increases of $13.9 million in the education sales channel, $9.0 million in the corporate channel, and $2.6
million related to Fit Brains. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $4.8 million, $2.6 million and $1.5 million in Consumer service revenues
for the direct-to-consumer, global retail, and kiosk sales channels, respectively.

Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $34.2 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 6% from the year ended December 31,
2013. As a percentage of product revenue, cost of product revenue increased to 25% from 20% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the prior
year period. The increase in cost as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to a decline in the price per unit combined with an increase in the
volume of units sold. The dollar increase in cost of product was primarily due to increased payroll and benefits as a result of the acquisitions that occurred
during the first quarter of 2014.
