You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very

These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Freshworks Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive loss, of cash flows, and of stockholders’equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes to such condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2025 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period.
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
determination of standalone selling price (SSP) for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations;
•
allowance for doubtful accounts;
•
benefit period of deferred contract acquisition costs;
•
capitalization of internal-use software development costs;
•
fair value of goodwill;
•
useful lives of long-lived assets, including intangible assets;
•
valuation of deferred tax assets;
•
valuation of employee defined benefit plan and other compensation liabilities;
•
incremental borrowing rate used for operating leases.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are generally held with large financial institutions and are in excess of the federally insured limits provided on such deposits. In addition, we have cash and cash equivalents held in international bank accounts, which are denominated primarily in euros, British Pounds, and Indian Rupees.
There were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 or that represented 10% or more of our consolidated accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2025.
We primarily rely upon our third-party cloud infrastructure partner, Amazon Web Services, to serve customers and operate certain aspects of its services. Any disruption of this cloud infrastructure partner would impact our operations and our business could be adversely impacted.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to provide more information in the rate reconciliation table and about income taxes paid, including certain disclosures that would be disaggregated by jurisdiction and other categories. This authoritative guidance should be applied prospectively and will be effective for us starting in our annual disclosures for 2025. Retrospective application is permitted. This guidance is only related to disclosures and is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses, which requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This authoritative guidance is effective for us starting in our annual disclosures for 2027 and interim periods starting 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This guidance is only related to disclosure and is not expected to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements
We measure our financial assets at fair value each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1
—Inputs are observable and reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2
—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3
—Inputs that are unobservable.
Money market funds and U.S. treasury securities are classified within Level 1 because they are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Other debt securities and investments are classified within Level 2 if the investments are valued using model driven valuations
which use observable inputs such as quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Available-for-sale debt securities are held by custodians who obtain investment prices from a third-party pricing provider that incorporates standard inputs in various asset price models.
We did
not
have any assets or liabilities subject to fair value remeasurement on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

In June 2024, we acquired all outstanding shares of D42 Parent, Inc., an IT asset management company, for $
238.1
million. This consideration included a combination of approximately $
225.3
million in cash, $
8.9
million in common stock issued, and $
3.9
million in assumed and converted stock option awards. Through the combination, we are able to offer a more comprehensive IT solution for customers. The identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are primarily $
140.8
million of goodwill, $
99.0
million of intangible assets, and $(
1.7
) million in other net assets and liabilities. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value. As of June 30, 2025, we finalized the purchase price allocation, including the valuation pertaining to deferred tax liabilities. An immaterial adjustment was recorded during the measurement period, resulting in a decrease to goodwill and an increase to deferred tax balances.
We have included the operating results of D42 Parent, Inc. in our condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.
The following unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and summarizes the combined results of operations as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023 (in thousands):

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Other Contractual Commitments
Our other contractual commitments primarily consist of third-party cloud infrastructure agreements, service subscription purchase arrangements used to support operations at the enterprise level, and sponsorship arrangement to promote our brand and services. As of June 30, 2025, other contractual commitments totaling $
284.0
million remain outstanding under these agreements through 2028.
Litigation and Loss Contingencies
On November 1, 2022, a purported Company stockholder filed a securities class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against us, certain of our current officers and directors, and underwriters of our initial public offering (IPO). On February 8, 2023, the court-appointed lead plaintiff and lead counsel. On April 14, 2023, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by making material misstatements or
omissions in offering documents filed in connection with our IPO. The amended complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees, costs, and rescission on behalf of purchasers and/or acquirers of common stock issued in our IPO. On September 28, 2023, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants' motion to dismiss. On January 16, 2025, we filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted and entered judgment in our and the other defendants’ favor on April 10, 2025. Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal, and has until July 31, 2025 to appeal the judgment.
On March 20, 2023, a purported stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint names as defendants our current directors, as well as Freshworks, as nominal defendant, and asserts state and federal claims based on some of the same alleged misstatements as the securities class action complaint. The derivative complaint seeks unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. On June 21, 2023, the court stayed the case in light of the pending securities class action. On October 16, 2023, the court extended the stay of the case in light of the pending securities class action. We and the other defendants continue to vigorously defend against the claims in this action.
From time to time, we have been and may be in the future subject to other legal proceedings, claims, investigations, and government inquiries (collectively, legal proceedings) in the ordinary course of business. We have received and may receive claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights, defamation, labor and employment rights, privacy, and contractual rights. There are no currently pending legal proceedings that we believe will have a material adverse impact on our business or condensed consolidated financial statements.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we agree to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters, including losses arising out of intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties, if we have violated applicable laws, if we are negligent or commit acts of willful misconduct, and other liabilities with respect to its products and services and its business. In these circumstances, payment is typically conditional on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract. We also indemnify certain of our officers, directors and employees while they are serving in good faith in their respective capacities. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
9. Revenue From Contracts with Customers
We primarily derive revenue from subscription fees and related professional services, as well as through sale of software licenses with associated maintenance and professional services.
We sell subscriptions and software licenses directly to customers and indirectly through channel partners with arrangements that are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Our subscription arrangements do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the solutions and, as a result, are accounted for as service arrangements. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term when the cloud-based software is made available to customers.
Software license revenue is generally sold as bundled arrangements that include the rights to a software license and maintenance and cloud-based software in some cases. For software licenses sold with maintenance and professional services, revenue from the software license is recognized when the software is made available to the
customer and maintenance revenue is recognized as support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term.
Professional services revenue is comprised of fees charged for services ranging from product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training. We recognize professional services revenues as services are performed.
We record revenue net of sales or value-added taxes.

7.3
million and $
6.3

10. Segment and Geographic Information
We operate in a single operating segment composed of the condensed consolidated financial results of Freshworks. Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the chief operating decision maker (CODM) of Freshworks and the key measures of segment profit or loss that our CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is our revenue and consolidated net loss. Significant segment expenses reviewed by our CODM for our single operating segment comprise of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other segment expenses. Other segment expenses utilize operating expenses recognized as research and development, selling and marketing, and general and administrative expenses within our condensed consolidated statement of operations less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, and primarily related to personnel-related costs. Refer to Note 11—Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation and Note 6—Intangible Assets, Net for information regarding amounts pertaining to stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles.

11. Stockholders' Equity and Stock-Based Compensation
Share Repurchase
In November 2024, our board of directors (the Board) approved the share repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of up to $
400
million of our outstanding Class A common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 we repurchased a total of
8,180,399
shares and
14,912,789
shares of Class A common stock, respectively, under this program in open market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $
113.6
million and $
225.4
million, resulting in an average price of $
13.89
per share and $
15.11
per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, $
159.1
million remained available for future share repurchases under the program. All shares of Class A common stock subsequently repurchased were retired. Upon retirement, the par value of the common stock repurchased was deducted from common stock and any excess of repurchase price over par value was recorded entirely to additional-paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional-paid-in capital, to accumulated deficit, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Equity Compensation Plans
In August 2021, the Board adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan) and the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, the Board may grant incentive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock, non-statutory stock options to purchase shares of our common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance restricted stock units (PRSUs) and other awards. The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of our Class A common stock. Both the 2021 Plan and ESPP include an automatic increase to their shares reserve on January 1 of each year as set forth in the respective plan documents.
In August 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted the 2022 Inducement Plan (the Inducement Plan) in accordance with Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Under the Inducement Plan, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, PRSUs and other awards may be granted as an inducement material to an eligible person's entering into employment with us.

Outstanding shares include the 2025 Executive PRSUs as discussed below, based on

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Under the ESPP, the price at which common stock is purchased is equal to
85
% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first day of the offering period or the applicable purchase date, whichever is lower. The fair market value of common stock will generally be the closing sales price on the determination date. The ESPP provides an offering period of
24
months. We issued
280,870
and
308,059
shares under the ESPP in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in each case net of shares withheld and retired to satisfy withholding tax requirements for certain employees in jurisdictions outside the United States. The weighted average purchase price per share was $
11.84
with aggregate net proceeds of $
3.3
million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and the weighted average purchase price was $
11.85
with aggregate net proceeds of $
3.6
million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The ESPP also includes a reset provision for the purchase price if the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first day of any purchase period is less than or equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the first day of an ongoing offering. If the reset provision is triggered, a new
24
-month offering period begins. Each triggering of the reset provision was considered a modification in accordance with ASC 718,
Stock Based Compensation
,
and
the modification charge recognized on a straight-line basis over the new offering period. Historically, the reset provision has been triggered by stock price declines, and the resulting modification have not been material on our stock-based compensation expense.
Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was $
1.1
million and $
1.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $
2.0
million and $
2.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Determination of Fair Value of the ESPP
We estimate the fair value of the ESPP using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires certain complex valuation assumption inputs such as expected term, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The fair value of each of the four purchase periods is estimated separately.
The following table summarizes the range of valuation assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the ESPP during the period.
Stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, have a
10
-year contractual term, and vest over a
four-year
period.

The total fair value of vested RSUs during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $
50.4
million and $
43.5
million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the total fair value of vested RSUs was $
106.0
million and $
88.6
million, respectively.
In September 2021, the Board approved a grant of
6,000,000
PRSUs to the Company’s then CEO, now current Executive Chairman, with a time-based service condition beginning January 1, 2022, and a market condition involving
five
separate stock price hurdles ranging from $
70.00
to $
200.00
per share for each of the
five
vesting tranches (2021 Executive Chairman Performance Award). In February 2024, the Board approved the cancellation of the 2021 Executive Chairman Performance Award and the grant of a new 2024 Executive Chairman Award, both effective March 1, 2024. The 2024 Executive Chairman Award comprised of
70
% time-based RSUs that vest quarterly over
four years
and
30
% PRSUs with terms consistent with the 2024 Executive PRSUs discussed below. The 2024 Executive Chairman Award is considered a modification and the remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $
61.9
million from the 2021 Executive Chairman Performance Award is being recognized over the vesting period of the modified awards. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $
4.2
million and $
5.8
million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2024 Executive Chairman Award. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $
9.4
million and $
7.7
million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2024 Executive Chairman Award.
As of March 31, 2025, the performance conditions for this award have been met and time-based vesting was the only condition yet to be satisfied over the remaining requisite service period.
Executive PRSUs
In March 2025 and February 2024, the Board approved the grant of PRSUs to certain members of the executive team (Executive PRSUs), subject to service and performance-based vesting conditions. The performance-based vesting conditions include revenue and free cash flow targets for each respective performance year, from January 1 to December 31, and vest over
three years
from the grant date.
70
% and
30
% of each Executive PRSU award will be earned based on our achievement of revenue and free cash flow targets, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the performance conditions for the 2024 Executive PRSUs have been met and time-based vesting was the only condition yet to be satisfied over the remaining requisite service period. The 2025 performance target allows our executives to earn up to a maximum of
173.6
% of target performance in the aggregate for significant outperformance.
The fair value of each PRSU is based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation associated with these Executive PRSUs is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period, based on our periodic assessment of the probability that the performance will be achieved. During the three months ended
June 30, 2025 and 2024
, we r
ecognized $
2.5
million and $
1.9
million of stock-based compensation expense related to the Executive PRSUs, respectively. For
the
six
months ended
June 30, 2025 and 2024
, we r
ecognized $
4.4
million and $

In November 2024, the Board approved a restructuring plan as a part of our efforts to align our talent with our strategic priorities and to improve operating efficiency. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded restructuring charges of $
0.4
million, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The restructuring plan is complete, with no remaining liability as of June 30, 2025 .

13. Income Taxes
Our quarterly tax provision and the estimated annual effective tax rate are estimates based on several factors, including changes in pre-tax income (or loss), the mix of jurisdictions to which such income relates, discrete items (such as windfalls or shortfalls from stock-based compensation) in the period, which are offset with our valuation allowance. Income tax provision (benefit) was $
5.6
million
and $(
10.4
) million
for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and income tax provision (benefit) was $
9.5
million and $(
6.4
) million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year, is primarily due to a tax benefit of $
14.3
million generated from the Device42 acquisition in the prior year, and higher tax expense due to higher foreign profits before tax this year.
We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. While we have seen improvements in profitability, we will continue to evaluate all available positive and negative evidence in future periods to determine whether a release of the valuation allowance is warranted.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss by the number of weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is determined by giving effect to all potential common equivalents during the reporting period, unless including them yields an antidilutive result. We consider our stock options and RSUs as potential common stock equivalents, but excluded them from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as their effect was antidilutive.
The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion, and transfer rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, are the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both an individual and combined basis.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except per share data):

15. Subsequent Events
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law. This legislation includes provisions allowing for the immediate expensing of domestic U.S. research and development costs, the immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other significant changes to the U.S. tax code. We expect the impact on our tax expense for the third and fourth quarters of 2025 to be immaterial, primarily due to net operating loss carryforwards. We continue to evaluate the overall impact of the new legislation on our consolidated financial statements, including provisions that become effective beginning in 2026, and will evaluate the impact on future periods as further guidance becomes available.
In July 2025, we entered into a sublease agreement for adjacent office space at our headquarters, with a lease term expected to commence no later than November 2025 and end in November 2028. Concurrently, we entered into an agreement with the primary landlord to extend the lease term of our existing headquarters and to expand into the sublease space following the sublease's expiration in November 2028. Both the extended lease term and the expanded office space will expire in July 2031. The total lease commitment, net of expected tenant incentives, is estimated to be approximately $
18.0
million.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussion under the heading “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. As described in the section titled “Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the section titled “Risk Factors.”
Overview
We provide people-first, AI service software that organizations use to deliver exceptional customer and employee experiences. We provide our solutions in two product families: Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX). CX products include Freshdesk, Freshdesk Omni, Freshchat, Freshsales, and Freshmarketer. EX products include Freshservice, Freshservice for Business Teams and Device42. Our latest generative AI solutions, Freddy AI Agent and Freddy AI Copilot, further enhance the customer and employee experience. Freddy AI Agent offers always-on, autonomous, personalized resolutions to customer and employee queries. Freddy AI Copilot provides always-on contextual assistance for customer support, employee support, marketing and sales use cases to boost productivity.
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of subscriptions for accessing our cloud-based software products over the contract term. We generally enter into subscription agreements with our customers on monthly, annual, or multi-year terms and invoice customers in advance in either monthly or annual installments. We also sell professional services that include product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training. With the acquisition of D42 Parent, Inc. in 2024, we also sell software licenses with associated maintenance.
Our customer base and operations have scaled over time. Our total revenue was $204.7 million and $174.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 18%; and $401.0 million and $339.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 18%. We incurred operating losses of $8.7 million and $43.8 million for three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively; and $19.1 million and $76.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Macroeconomic and Other Factors
Current macroeconomic uncertainties, including inflationary pressures, significant volatility in global markets, tariffs, the threat of new or increased tariffs, escalating trade tensions, and geopolitical developments have impacted and may continue to impact business spending and the overall economy, and in turn our business. These macroeconomic events could adversely affect demand for our products and services.
For example, during the recent quarters, our net dollar retention rate was adversely impacted by lower expansion within existing customers driven by macroeconomic pressures and we expect these pressures to persist for the foreseeable future. A
dditionally, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted our revenue growth historically and volatility in the foreign currency market still exist. For each of the quarters ended June 30, 2025, March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024
, we had approximately
27%
of revenue exposure related to the euro and British Pound. If adverse conditions aris
e, they could have a material adverse impact on our results and our ability to accurately predict our future results and earnings.
Given our business model is primarily subscription-based, the effects of the macroeconomic conditions may not be fully reflected in our revenue until future periods. The ultimate impact on our business and operations remains highly uncertain, and it is not possible for us to predict the duration and extent to which this will affect our business, future results of operations, and financial condition.
We monitor and review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections, and make strategic decisions. Key business metrics and our financial performance are impacted by various factors discussed below, including fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
We also review customer data used for calculating these key business metrics on an ongoing basis and make necessary modifications resulting from such review.
We believe these key business metrics provide meaningful supplemental information for management and investors in assessing our operating performance.

Number of Customers Contributing More Than $5,000 in ARR
We define our total customers contributing more than $5,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR) as of a particular date as the number of business entities or individuals, represented by a unique domain or a unique email address, with one or more paid subscriptions to one or more of our products that contributed more than $5,000 in ARR. We believe that the number of customers that contribute more than $5,000 in ARR is an indicator of our success in attracting, retaining, and expanding with larger businesses.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
Our net dollar retention rate measures our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expansion of users and products associated with a customer as offset by our churn and contraction in the number of users and products associated with a customer. To calculate net dollar retention rate as of a particular date, we first determine “Entering ARR,” which is ARR from the population of our customers as of 12 months prior to the end of the reporting period. We then calculate the “Ending ARR,” which is ARR from the same set of customers as of the end of the reporting period. We then divide the Ending ARR by the Entering ARR to arrive at our net dollar retention rate. Ending ARR includes upsells, cross-sells, renewals and expansion as a result of acquisitions during the measurement period and is net of any contraction or attrition over this period.
We define ARR as the sum total of subscription, software license, and maintenance revenue we would contractually expect to recognize over the next 12 months from all customers at a point in time, assuming no increases, reductions, or cancellations in their subscriptions, and assuming that revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For monthly subscriptions, we take the recurring revenue run-rate of such subscriptions for the last month of the period and multiply it by 12 to get to ARR. While monthly subscribers as a group have historically maintained or increased their subscriptions over time, there is no guarantee that any particular customer on a monthly subscription will renew its subscription in any given month, and therefore the calculation of ARR for these monthly subscriptions may not accurately reflect revenue to be received over a 12-month period from such customers, and net dollar retention rate may reflect a higher rate than the actual rate if customers on monthly subscriptions choose not to renew during the course of the 12 months. Monthly subscriptions represented 13% and 15% of ARR as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The net dollar retention rate for customers on monthly contracts has generally been lower than our overall net dollar retention rate. In addition, as part of our regular review of customer data that includes reviewing customers purchasing our products via resellers so we can properly attribute them as end customers, we may make adjustments that could impact the calculation of net dollar retention rate.
Our net dollar retention rate remained flat at 106% as of June 30, 2025,
compared to 106%
as of June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower expansion within existing customers driven by macroeconomic pressures, offset by a favorable foreign currency impact and slight improvement on overall churn rate. We expect our net dollar retention
rate may fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, difficult macroeconomic conditions, our expected growth, the level of penetration within our customer base, our ability to upsell and cross-sell products to existing customers, and our ability to retain our customers.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we believe the following non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance: non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only.
We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:
•
Stock-based compensation expense.
We exclude stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this expense provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is not comparable across companies given the variety of valuation methodologies and assumptions.
•
Employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions.
We exclude the amount of employer payroll taxes on equity awards from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because they are dependent on our stock price at the time of vesting or exercise and other factors that are beyond our control and do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of the business.
•
Amortization of acquired intangibles.
We exclude amortization of acquired intangibles, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. Our expenses for amortization of acquired intangibles are inconsistent in amount and frequency because they are significantly affected by the timing, size of acquisitions, and the allocation of purchase price. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.
•
Restructuring charges.
We exclude restructuring charges, which primarily consist of employee severance and other employee termination benefits associated with the restructuring plan initiated in November 2024, from our non-GAAP financial measures, because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.
•
Income tax effect and adjustments.
We exclude the income tax effect of the above adjustments and income tax effect associated with acquisitions from our non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude these costs because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operating performance of our business.
Non-GAAP Income From Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income
We define non-GAAP income from operations as GAAP loss from operations, excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquired intangibles, and restructuring charges.
We define non-GAAP net income as GAAP net loss, excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, restructuring charges, and amortization of acquired intangibles, and income tax adjustments.
The following tables present a reconciliation of our GAAP loss from operations to our non-GAAP income from operations and our GAAP net loss to our non-GAAP net income for each of the periods presented (in thousands):

Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash from our core operations after purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow is a measure to determine, among other things, cash available for strategic initiatives, including further investments in our business and potential acquisitions of businesses.

Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Substantially all of our revenue is derived from subscriptions, which is comprised of fees paid by customers for accessing our cloud-based software products during the term of the subscription. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each subscription, which is the date that the cloud-based software is made available to customers. We also sell software licenses with associated maintenance and professional services based on product offerings introduced upon the acquisition of D42 Parent, Inc. in June 2024. Software license revenue is recognized upon making the software available to the customer and maintenance revenue is recognized as support and updates are provided, which is generally ratably over the contract term.
Professional services revenue comprises less than 5% of total revenue and includes fees charged for product configuration, data migration, systems integration, and training. Professional services revenue is recognized as services are performed.
We generally enter into subscription and software license agreements with our customers on monthly, annual, or multi-year terms and invoice customers in advance in either monthly or annual installments. Our payment terms generally require the customers to pay the invoiced amount in advance or within 30 days from the invoice date. Our maintenance and professional services are generally billed in advance along with the related subscription and software license arrangements.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel-related expenses (including salaries, related benefits, and stock-based compensation expense) for employees associated with our cloud-based infrastructure, payment gateway fees, voice, product support, and professional services organizations, as well as costs for hosting capabilities. Cost of revenue also includes third-party license fees, amortization of acquired technology intangibles, amortization of capitalized internal-use software, and allocation of general overhead costs such as facilities and information technology.
We expect our cost of revenue to continue to increase in dollar amount as we invest additional resources in our cloud-based infrastructure and customer support and professional services organizations. However, our gross profit and gross margin may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and extent of our investments in third-party hosting capacity, expansion of our cloud-based infrastructure, customer support, and professional services organizations, as well as the amortization of costs associated with capitalized internal-use software.
We allocate shared costs, such as facilities costs (including rent, utilities, and depreciation on capital expenditures related to facilities shared by multiple departments), information technology costs, and certain administrative personnel costs to all departments based on headcount and location. Allocated shared costs are reflected in each of the expense categories described below, in addition to cost of revenue as described above.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development.
Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, related benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for engineering and product development employees and certain executives, software license fees, rental of office premises, third-party product development services and consulting expenses, and depreciation expense for equipment used in research and development activities. We capitalize a portion of our research and development expenses that meet the criteria for capitalization of internal-use software. All other research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
We believe that continued investment in our products is important for our growth, and as such, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount for the foreseeable future, but such expenses as a percentage of revenue may fluctuate from period to period depending upon the timing and amount of these expenses.
Sales and Marketing.
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, related benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for our sales personnel and certain executives, sales commissions for our sales force and reseller commissions for our channel sales partners, as well as costs associated with marketing activities, travel and entertainment costs, software license fees, and rental of office premises. Sales commissions that are considered incremental costs incurred to obtain contracts with customers are deferred and amortized over the benefit period of three years. Marketing activities include online lead generation, advertising, and promotional events.
We expect to continue to make significant investments as we expand our customer acquisition, retention efforts and marketing events and associated business travel. As a result, we expect that our sales and marketing expenses will continue to increase in dollar amount for the foreseeable future, however, we expect it to decline as a percentage of revenue over the longer term. This percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending upon the timing and amount of these expenses.
General and Administrative.
General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, related benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for certain executives and other general and administrative personnel, third-party professional services fees, costs of director and officer insurance, and costs associated with acquisitions of businesses, software license fees, and rental of office premises.
We expect to increase personnel-related and professional service expenses associated with ongoing compliance and reporting obligations and costs to broaden our IT related infrastructure. Our general and administrative expenses are expected to continue to increase in dollar amount for the foreseeable future, however, we expect it to decline as a percentage of revenue over the longer term. This percentage may fluctuate from period to period depending upon the timing and amount of our general and administrative expenses.
Restructuring Charges
. Restructuring charges primarily consist of employee severance and other employee termination benefits associated with the restructuring plan that we initiated in November 2024. Refer to Note 12—Restructuring Charges of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest and other income (expense), net primarily consists of interest income from our investment portfolios, amortization of premium or discount on marketable securities, and foreign currency gains and losses.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Provision for (benefit from) income taxes could also include changes in valuation allowance. Our effective tax rate is affected by tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions, as well as non-deductible expenses, such as stock-based compensation, and changes in our valuation allowance.

Revenue increased by $30.5 million, or 18%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Of the total increase in revenue, approximately $11.4 million was attributable to revenue from existing customers as of June 30, 2024, net of contraction and churn, and approximately $19.1 million was attributable to revenue from new customers acquired during the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, net of contraction and churn. Our net dollar retention rate of 106% as of June 30, 2025 reflects the expansion within existing customers and the sale of additional products to these customers. Our net dollar retention rate remained flat from 106% as of June 30, 2024 primarily due to lower expansion within existing customers driven by macroeconomic pressures, offset by a favorable foreign currency impact and a slight improvement in our overall churn rate. The majority of our revenue continues to be generated from subscription services.
Cost of revenue increased by $3.0 million, or 11%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases of $0.9 million in amortization of acquired developed technologies from the acquisition of D42 Parent, Inc., $0.8 million in personnel-related costs primarily due to annual compensation adjustments and higher variable incentive compensation and $0.8 million in third-party hosting costs as we expand capacity to support our growing customer base. Our gross margin increased to 85% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 84% in the same period of the prior year, as we increased our revenue and continue to realize benefits from economies of scale primarily related to our third-party hosting costs.

The $7.6 million or 4%, decrease in our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily driven by lower headcount following the restructuring, which decreased stock-based compensation expenses and personnel-related costs. This decrease is partially offset by the impact of annual compensation adjustments and higher variable incentive compensation which increased personnel-related costs. Additionally, the acquisition of D42 Parent, Inc. resulted in higher amortization of acquired developed technologies.
Research and Development
Research and development expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million from employee terminations and fully vested equity awards and $3.6 million of higher capitalized internally developed software costs as a result of increased development activity. The decreases are partially offset by an increase in personnel-related costs of $2.8 million due to annual compensation adjustments and higher variable incentive compensation.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense decreased by $9.0 million, or 9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation expense of $6.6 million from employee terminations, fully vested equity awards, and the transition of our President to CEO mid 2024, $1.5 million in personnel-related costs primarily due to lower headcount offset by annual compensation adjustments and higher variable incentive compensation, and $3.1 million in advertisement, marketing and branding costs. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $1.5 million in amortization of acquired intangible assets from the acquisition of D42 Parent, Inc. and $1.0 million in software license fees.
General and administrative expense increased by $2.5 million, or 6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $2.7 million in stock-based compensation expense, mainly due to the transition of our President to CEO mid 2024 and $1.2 million in personnel-related costs primarily due to annual compensation adjustments and higher variable incentive compensation. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in consulting fees, primarily related to acquisition-related expenses from the D42 Parent, Inc. acquisition.

We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

The net increase in income tax provision of $15.9 million was primarily related to a tax benefit of $14.3 million from the Device42 acquisition as a result of releasing the valuation allowance due to sufficient income in prior year, and a higher pre-tax profit this year in certain foreign jurisdictions.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, introducing significant changes to the U.S. tax code, including the immediate expensing of domestic U.S. research and development costs, the immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other tax code changes effective beginning in 2026. We continue to evaluate the overall impact of the legislation on our Consolidated Financial Statements and will evaluate the impact on future periods as further guidance becomes available.

The $2.2 million, or 1%, decrease in our operating expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily driven by lower headcount following the restructuring which deceased stock-based compensation expenses and personnel-related costs. This decrease is partially offset by the impact of annual compensation adjustments, changes in retirement benefit obligations for employees in India, and higher variable incentive compensation. Additionally, the acquisition of D42 Parent, Inc. resulted in higher amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Research and development expense increased by $4.3 million, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $8.2 million in personnel-related costs, driven by annual compensation adjustments, changes in retirement benefit obligations for employees in India, and higher variable incentive compensation. These increases were partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million due to employee terminations and fully vested equity awards and higher capitalized internally developed software cost of $5.1 million as a result of increased development activity.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense decreased by $14.5 million, or 7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower stock-based compensation of $10.5 million from employee terminations and the transition of our President to CEO mid 2024, $2.5 million driven by personnel-related costs from lower headcount, $5.6 million in advertisement, marketing and branding costs, and $1.5 million in consulting fees. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $3.6 million in amortization of acquired intangible assets from the D42 Parent, Inc. acquisition and $1.7 million in software license fees.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense increased by $7.7 million, or 9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $3.2 million in personnel-related costs, mainly due to annual compensation adjustments and higher variable incentive compensation, and $5.3 million in stock-based compensation expense, mainly due to the transition of our President to CEO.
Restructuring charges
Restructuring charges of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, consisted of employee severance and termination benefits related to the restructuring plan that we initiated in November 2024.

Interest income decreased by $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to lower balances maintained in our marketable securities portfolios.
Other income (expense), net changed by $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange in British Pound, euro, and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar.
We are subject to federal and state income taxes in the United States and taxes in foreign jurisdictions. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $9.5 million and $(6.4) million, respectively. The net increase in tax benefit of $15.9 million was primarily related to a tax benefit of $14.3 million from the Device42 acquisition as a result of releasing the valuation allowance due to sufficient income in prior year, and a higher pre-tax profits this year in certain foreign jurisdictions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $486.0 million and marketable securities of $440.2 million, which were primarily held for working capital resources.
As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $3.7 billion. Our operating activities resulted in cash inflows of $116.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Our material cash requirements from known contractual obligations consists primarily of our obligations under operating leases for office space and contractual obligations for third-party cloud infrastructure, service subscription, and sponsorship arrangement to promote our brand and services. See Note 7 — Leases and Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies for additional discussion of our principal contractual commitments.
In November 2024, our board of directors approved the share repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of up to $400 million of our outstanding Class A common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased a total of 14.9 million shares of Class A common stock under this program in open market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $225.4 million. As of June 30, 2025, $159.1 million remained available for future share repurchases.
As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
We believe our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of our existing cash available balances, cash flow from operations, and issuances of equity securities or debt offerings, as needed. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of our revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product offerings, and other business initiatives and the continuing market adoption of our products. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in connection with such activities. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness may have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operational flexibility. Any additional equity or convertible debt financing may be dilutive to stockholders. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different assumptions and judgments would change the estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. We evaluate our estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis.
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to those disclosed in our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In addition, we are subject to broader market risk that is created by the global market disruptions and uncertainties resulting from macroeconomic challenges, geopolitical events, tariffs, trade and other international disputes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The majority of our sales are derived in U.S. dollars. Our operating expenses incurred by our foreign subsidiaries are denominated in their respective local currencies, and remeasured at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may result in the recognition of transaction gains and losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, particularly changes in the Indian Rupee, British Pound and euro, and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Based on a sensitivity analysis we have performed as of June 30, 2025, an adverse 10% foreign currency exchange rate change applied to total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar would result in a gain or loss of approximately $12.1 million.
To reduce the risk that our earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates, we entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency expenses denominated in Indian Rupee. Gains or losses on these contracts are generally recognized in income at the time the related transactions being hedged are recognized. As of June 30, 2025, the total notional amount of outstanding designated foreign currency forward contracts was $63.6 million. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025, and all related unrealized and realized gains and losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were not material.
We do not use foreign exchange contracts for speculative trading purposes and we may enter into other hedging transactions in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more significant. We monitor our exposures in other currencies and assess the need to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis.
Interest Rate Risk
Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities primarily consist of deposits held at financial institutions, highly liquid money market funds, and investments in U.S. treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, corporate bonds, and commercial paper. We had cash and cash equivalents of $486.0 million and marketable securities of $440.2 million as of June 30, 2025. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. The carrying amount of our cash equivalents reasonably approximate fair value, due to the maturities of three months or less of these instruments. Our investments are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair value of our investments. Fixed rate securities may have their market value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of our expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates. However, because we
classify our marketable securities as “available for sale,” no gains or losses are recognized due to changes in interest rates unless such securities are sold prior to maturity or declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary.
Based on an interest rate sensitivity analysis we have performed as of June 30, 2025, a hypothetical 100 basis points favorable or adverse movement in interest rates would not have a material effect in the combined market value of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
The information required to be set forth under this Item 1 is incorporated by reference to Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation and Loss Contingencies in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under the section “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025 as well as the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” before making an investment decision. These identified risks and uncertainties may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects. In such an event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material may also become important factors that affect our business. There have been no material changes from the risks and uncertainties previously disclosed under the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

(3) On November 6, 2024, we publicly announced that our board of directors had approved a share repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of up to $400 million of our outstanding Class A common stock. Under the repurchase program, we may repurchase shares of our outstanding Class A common stock from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions and/or other means in compliance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Open market repurchases may be structured to occur in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of shares of common stock under this authorization. The timing, manner, price, and amount of any repurchases will be determined by us at our discretion, and will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic and market conditions, prevailing stock prices, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other considerations. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
