The negative outcomes of fraud and cyber-attacks encompass financial losses, brand damage, and loss of loyal customers. We predict growth in our deposits business as a result of the increased consumer adoption of digital financial services provided to them by their banks and identity verification products based on current trends in payments, online lending, more stringent regulations, growing usage of sharing apps and online marketplaces, and the ever-increasing demand for digital services.

During each of the last few years, sales of licenses to one or more channel partners have comprised a significant part of our revenue each year. This is attributable to the timing of renewals or purchases of licenses and does not represent a dependence on any single channel partner. If we were to lose a channel partner relationship, we do not believe such a loss would adversely affect our operations because either we or another channel partner could sell our products to the end-users that had purchased products from the channel partner we lost. However, in that case, we or another channel partner must establish a relationship with the end-users, which could take time to develop, if it develops at all.

Net cash used in financing activities was $12.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to repurchases and retirements of Common Stock of $10.0 million, the payment of $4.6 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration, and payment of revolving credit line issuance costs of $0.3 million, partially offset by $1.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock under our equity plans and $1.1 million of net proceeds from other borrowings. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of equity plan Common Stock. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities of $14.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to repurchases and retirements of Common Stock and the payment of acquisition-related consideration in the nine months ended June 30, 2024.
Current wording
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to repurchases and retirements of Common Stock of $3.3 million, partially offset by $0.2 million of net proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock under our equity plans. Net cash used in financing activities was $3.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the payment of $4.6 million of acquisition-related contingent consideration, partially offset by $0.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance of equity plan Common Stock and $0.7 million of proceeds from other borrowings. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was immaterial during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Previous wording
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a net leverage ratio of no more than 2.25 to 1.00 and if the Company engages in a share repurchase program, the net leverage ratio may not exceed 2.00 to 1.00. As disclosed in Note 6, on May 13, 2024, the Board authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up to $50.0 million of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of June 30, 2024 the Company’s net leverage ratio was 2.02 to 1.00 and as such the Company was not in compliance with the net leverage ratio covenant of the Credit Agreement. The Company obtained a waiver from the Bank which covers the compliance period ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, as there are no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s waived non-compliance did not trigger any adverse impacts on the Credit Agreement or the 2026 Notes.

At June 30, 2024, we had investments of $48.9 million, designated as available-for-sale debt securities, which consisted of commercial paper, corporate issuances, and asset-backed securities, carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices for identical or similar assets, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million which yielded an effective tax rate of 236%. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 221%. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 are not meaningful due to near break-even pre-tax income for the periods, which results in any discrete tax adjustments significantly impacting the rate. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was primarily due to a mix of worldwide income, the impact of non-deductible executive compensation as well as the impact of state taxes, and federal, state and foreign research and development credits on its tax provision.

Cost of revenue includes personnel costs related to billable services and software support, direct costs associated with our hardware products, hosting costs, and the costs of royalties for third party products embedded in our products. Cost of revenue increased $1.6 million, or 9%, to $18.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $16.7 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cost of revenue is primarily due to an increase in transactional SaaS revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Selling and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, and other headcount-related costs associated with sales, marketing, and product management personnel. Selling and marketing expenses also include non-billable costs of professional services personnel, advertising expenses, product promotion costs, trade shows, and other brand awareness programs. Selling and marketing expenses increased $1.8 million, or 6%, to $31.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $29.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in selling and marketing expense is primarily due to higher personnel-related costs due to increased headcount and higher product promotion costs, partially offset by lower other costs in the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Amortization and acquisition-related costs include amortization of intangible assets, adjustments recorded due to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, and other costs associated with acquisitions. Amortization and acquisition-related costs decreased $3.7 million, or 24%, to $11.6 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $15.3 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in amortization and acquisition-related costs is primarily due to an increase in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration associated with the ID R&D acquisition in the nine months ended June 30, 2023 which was paid in the first fiscal quarter of 2024 and a decrease in amortization expense of intangible assets from previous acquisitions that had been fully amortized during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Restructuring costs consist of employee severance obligations and other related costs.

Interest expense includes the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and coupon interest accrued on the 2026 Notes. Interest expense was $6.9 million for nine months ended June 30, 2024 and consisted of $6.0 million of amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and $0.9 million of interest incurred. Interest expense was $6.7 million for nine months ended June 30, 2023 and consisted of $5.6 million of amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and $1.1 million of interest incurred. As we amortize the debt discount and issuance costs using the effective interest method, amortization expense increases over the term of the agreement.

Other income (expense), net includes interest income net of amortization and net realized gains or losses on our marketable securities portfolio and foreign currency transactional gains or losses. Other income (expense), net increased $2.5 million, or 148%, to $4.3 million net income in the nine months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.7 million net income in the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher foreign currency transactional gains and an increase in interest income net of amortization as compared to the same period in 2023.
