Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). They include the results of Pros Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In management's opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and stockholders' (deficit) equity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 ("Annual Report") filed with the SEC. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required under GAAP.
Changes in accounting policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies and their application as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report
.
Fair value measurement
The Company's financial assets that are included in cash and cash equivalents and that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of $
147.6
million and $
149.5
million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and were invested in treasury funds, money market funds, and interest-bearing deposits in banks. The fair value of those investments is determined based on quoted market prices, which represents level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC 820. See Note 8 for the fair value measurement of the convertible notes.
Sales commissions earned by the Company's sales representatives are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a customer contract. Sales commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five to eight years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration its customer contracts, expected renewals of those customer contracts (as the Company currently does not pay an incremental sales commission for renewals), the Company's technology and other factors. The Company also defers amounts earned by employees other than sales representatives who earn incentive payments under compensation plans also tied to the value of customer contracts acquired. Deferred costs were $
17.2
million and $
16.1
million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred costs was $
1.1
million and $
1.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization of deferred costs is included in
selling and marketing expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,
Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
, which requires additional disclosure of certain costs and expenses within the notes to the financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard is to be applied on a prospective basis,
but retrospective application is permitted
. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on
its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The new standard is to be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
With the exception of the new standards discussed above, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company's Annual Report, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company regularly becomes involved in contract and other negotiations and, in more limited circumstances, becomes involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable. The Company is not currently involved in any outstanding litigation that it believes, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Purchase commitments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various purchase commitments for goods and services, mainly related to infrastructure platforms, business technology software and support, and other services. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the purchase commitments disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024
.
The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses consolidated net loss to measure segment profit or loss, assess financial performance, and allocate resources. Net loss is used by the CODM to evaluate budget versus actual results. In addition, the CODM reviews and utilizes functional expenses (cost of subscription revenues, cost of maintenance and support revenues, cost of services revenue, selling and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative) at the consolidated level to manage the Company’s operations. Other segment items comprise all other lines included in consolidated net loss reflected in the
unaudited condensed c
onsolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the
unaudited condensed c
onsolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets.

2024.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025
as compared to c
ash used in operating activities
of $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The improvement was primarily due
to a
significant reduction in our net loss as well as strong collections during the period.
Factors Affecting Our Performance
Key factors and trends that have affected, and we believe will continue to affect, our operating results include:
•
Macroeconomic, Regulatory and Geopolitical Environment
. The companies we serve continue to navigate a challenging and uncertain macroeconomic, regulatory and geopolitical environment, exacerbated by recent tariff announcements by the United States and its trading counterparts. Macroeconomic factors, such as tariffs, trade restrictions and uncertainty regarding trade policy and tariff rates, risk of recession, persistent inflation, fluctuating interest rates, supply chain disruptions, market volatility, constrained liquidity and other uncertainties, impact our customers' businesses in various ways that are difficult to quantify and predict. Regulatory developments, including emerging AI-specific regulations, increase scrutiny for companies utilizing AI solutions, even when such solutions are compliant with existing frameworks. Geopolitical conflicts, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, Middle East conflicts, and other regional conflicts, exacerbate uncertainty and disrupt global markets. We continue to see these factors and uncertainty regarding the macroeconomic environment drive more measured buying behavior by our customers, including more complex customer review and approval cycles and an emphasis on smaller scope or incrementally scaled initial purchases, with a continued focus on rapid return on investment. We believe these factors require solid execution by our teams to meet our financial guidance and long-term targets.
•
Artificial Intelligence
. The rapid market interest in generative AI continues to drive businesses around the world and across industries to consider, invest in and use applications leveraging both generative and other types of AI. The pace of change across industries helps fuel business demand for solutions that help replace manual processes with AI. We have utilized AI in our solutions for years, and our deep experience in the use of AI at scale continues to influence our
category-leading solutions.
We are also utilizing and considering new ways to expand AI use in our own business to increase the pace of innovation, improve knowledge management, and drive operating efficiency
.
•
Digital Purchasing
. We believe the long-term trends toward digital purchasing drives demand for technology that provides fast, frictionless and distinctive buying experiences aligned across digital and traditional sales channels. Buyers often prefer to conduct their own research rather than rely on sales representatives, and tend to make purchases online once they have decided what to buy. For example, in the airline industry, the pandemic accelerated a long-term trend towards direct booking channels, and we anticipate airlines continuing to invest in technology to enhance their ability to manage offers and orders to drive demand through their own channels such as their websites. We believe companies increasingly compete based on customer experience and must adopt technologies which power consistent offers and experiences across sales channels.

Total cost of subscription, maintenance and support
Subscription revenue.
Subscription revenue increased primarily due to an increase in new and existing customer subscription contracts.
Maintenance and support revenue.
Maintenance and support revenue decreased primarily as a result of customer maintenance churn and existing maintenance customers migrating to our cloud solutions. We expect maintenance revenue to continue to decline as we continue to migrate maintenance customers to our cloud solutions.
Services revenue.
Services revenue remained relatively unchanged during the period. Services revenue varies from period to period depending on different factors, including the level of professional services required to implement our solutions, which in turn can vary depending on the mix of new versus existing customer software solution sales. Services revenue is also impacted by the timing of services revenue recognition on certain subscription contracts and efficiencies in our solutions implementations requiring less professional services during a particular period.

Cost of subscription.
Cost of subscription remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
O
ur subscription gross profit percentages increased to 79% from 77% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to continued optimization of our cloud infrastructure improving our cost of delivery.
Cost of maintenance and support.
Cost of maintenance and support decreased mainly due to lower personnel costs as our maintenance customer base has decreased over time. Maintenance and support gross profit percentages were 38% and 48% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gross profit percentages decreased in 2025 as compared to prior year primarily due to lower maintenance and support revenue with
the cost of maintenance and support being partially fixed.
Cost of services.
Cost of services
decreased primarily due to a decrease in contract labor and employee-related costs during the three months ended
March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. Services gross profit percentages improved to 8% from 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to continued operational efficiencies. Services gross profit percentages may fluctuate due to product/service mix, customer acquisition strategies or investments in growth.
Selling and marketing expenses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, s
elling and marketing expenses increased primarily due to increases in sales and marketing initiatives and travel expenses, offset by a slight decrease in employee-related costs.
Research and development expenses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, research and development expenses decreased
primarily due to a decrease in employee-related costs. Employee-related costs were higher in the first quarter of 2024 due to the
acceleration of share-based compensation expense related to the change of employment of a senior employee in that period.
General and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher employee-related expenses, mainly noncash share-based compensation expense and contract labor.

Income tax provision
.
The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included both foreign income and foreign withholding taxes. No tax benefit was recognized on jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets.
Our effective tax rate was (21)% and (3)% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The income tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets. While our expected tax rate would be 0% due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the income tax provision and related effective tax rates were due to foreign income and withholding taxes.
Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets are excluded from the estimated annual federal effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter depending on the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.
At March 31, 2025, we had $160.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $10.0 million of restricted cash and $55.5 million of working capital as compared to $162.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, $10.0 million of restricted cash and $52.1 million of working capital at December 31, 2024.
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated from operations and potential borrowings under our $50 million credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). In addition, we could access capital markets to supplement our liquidity position. Our material drivers or variants of operating cash flow are net income (loss) and the timing of invoicing and cash collections from our customers. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors and the payments of other liabilities.
We believe we will have adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our operational requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, and coupon interest of our 2027 Notes for the next twelve months. Our future working capital requirements depend on many factors, including the operations of our existing business, growth of our customer subscription services, future acquisitions we might undertake, expansion into complementary businesses, timing of adoption and implementation of our solutions and customer churn. Capital markets and liquidity have tightened in response to the macroeconomic environment, particularly in response to recent tariff announcements by the U.S. and certain trading counterparts, making new financing more difficult and/or expensive and we may not be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.2 million.
The improvement was primarily due
to a
significant reduction in our net loss as well as strong collections during the period.
Investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was near zero. The change was mainly due to slightly higher capital expenditures in 2024 as well as a payment for investment in equity securities in the prior year.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower tax withholding payments related to the lower amount of vesting of employee share-based awards in 2025 as compared to 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material. We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as variable interest entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
See Note 9 above for information on our contractual obligations and commitments.
Credit facility
As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement.
As of March 31, 2025, $0.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Credit Agreement is included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets, noncurrent in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded an insignificant amount of amortization of debt issuance costs which is included in other income, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
The Credit Agreement also has a depository condition which requires us to maintain a cash balance of at least $10.0 million with the administrative agent throughout the term of the Credit Agreement. This amount is included in restricted cash in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Critical accounting policies and estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The complexity and judgment required in our estimation process, as well as issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations, affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue. Estimates are also used for, but not limited to, receivables, allowance for credit losses, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, useful lives of assets, depreciation, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation, valuation of stock awards, other current liabilities and accrued liabilities. Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates. Our critical accounting policies related to the estimates and judgments are discussed in our Annual Report under management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
