Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, are unaudited.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, accordingly, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The Company believes the footnotes and other disclosures made in the financial statements are adequate for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The financial statements include all adjustments (solely of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to make the information presented not misleading.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 16, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
Certain amounts within the prior period’s consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Income tax payables and accrued interest payable were presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, however, they are included in the other current liabilities line in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025.
Results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, deferred taxes, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These estimates include, but are not limited to, assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, estimation of the value of stock-based compensation awards, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, impairment of goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, standalone selling price related to revenue recognition, estimated variable consideration in contracts, contingent consideration, and income taxes.

- REVENUE RECOGNITION
Nature of Goods and Services
The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue. Contracts with customers are evaluated on a contract-by-contract basis as contracts may include multiple types of goods and services as described below.
Software and Hardware
Software and hardware revenue is generated from on premise software license sales, as well as sales of on premise appliance products which were phased out in fiscal 2024. Software is typically sold as a time-based license with a term ofone tothree years. For software license agreements that are distinct, the Company recognizes software license revenue upon delivery and after evidence of a contract exists. Our standard payment terms are generally no more than 60 days. Invoices for software are typically issued when the license is made available for customer use.
Services and Other
Services and other revenue is generated from the sale of software as a service (“SaaS”) products and services, maintenance associated with the sale of on premise software licenses, and consulting and professional services. The Company’s SaaS offerings give customers the option to be charged upon their incurred usage in arrears (“Pay as You Go”), or commit to a minimum spend over their contracted period, with the ability to purchase additional transactions above the minimum during the contract term. Revenue related to Pay as You Go contracts are generally recognized based on the customer’s actual usage, in the period of usage. For contracts which include a minimum commitment, the Company is stand-ready to provide the services throughout the contract term, and revenue is primarily recognized on a ratable basis over the contract period including an estimate of usage above the minimum commitment. Usage above minimum commitment is estimated by looking at historical usage, expected volume, and other factors to project usage for the remainder of the contract term. The estimated usage-based revenues are constrained to the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for providing access to its platform. Maintenance and support services generally call for the Company to provide software updates and technical support to customers and is recognized ratably over the term of the contract as this is the period the services are delivered. If professional services are deemed to be distinct, revenue is recognized as services are performed. The Company does not view the signing of the contract or the provision of initial setup services as discrete earnings events that are distinct. Our standard payment terms are generally no more than 60 days. SaaS (other than Pay as You Go) and maintenance services are typically invoiced annually in advance, and consulting and professional services are typically invoiced at the time of sale.
Significant Judgments in Application of the Guidance
The Company uses the following methods, inputs, and assumptions in determining amounts of revenue to recognize:
Identification of Performance Obligations
For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, which include combinations of software licenses, maintenance, and services, the Company accounts for individual goods or services as a separate performance obligation if they are distinct. The good or service is distinct if the good or service is separately identifiable from other items in the arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. If these criteria are not met, the promised goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
Determination of Transaction Price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring products or services to the customer. The Company includes any fixed charges within its contracts as part of the total transaction price. To the extent that variable consideration is not constrained, the Company includes an estimate of the variable amount, as appropriate, within the total transaction price and updates its assumptions over the duration of the contract.
Assessment of Estimates of Variable Consideration
Certain of the Company’s contracts with customers contain some component of variable consideration; however, variable consideration will only be included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenues recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company may constrain the estimated transaction price in the event of a high degree of uncertainty as to the final consideration amount owed because of an extended length of time over which the fees may be adjusted or due to uncertainty surrounding collectability. The Company estimates variable consideration in its contracts primarily using the expected value method as the Company believes this method represents the most appropriate estimate for this consideration, based on historical usage trends, the individual contract considerations, and its best judgment at the time.
Allocation of Transaction Price
The transaction price, including any discounts, is allocated between separate goods and services in a contract that contains multiple performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. The standalone selling prices are based on the prices at which the Company separately sells each good or service. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the standalone selling prices using available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines. In certain situations, primarily transactional SaaS revenue described above, the Company allocates variable consideration to a series of distinct goods or services within a contract. The Company allocates variable payments to one or more, but not all, of the distinct goods or services or to a series of distinct goods or services in a contract when (i) the variable payment relates specifically to the Company’s efforts to transfer the distinct good or service and (ii) the variable payment is for an amount that depicts the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to its customer.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table presents the Company's revenue disaggregated by major product category (amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Nine Months Ended June 30, | |||

| Total revenue | $45,729 | $44,976 | $134,912 | $128,861 |
Total Revenue by Geographic Location
Revenues by geography are determined based on the region of the Company's contracting entity, which may be different than the region of the customer. The United States and the United Kingdom were the only countries that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025. The United States was the only country that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The United States and the United Kingdom were the only countries that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Nine Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| United States | $35,354 | $35,902 | $103,430 | $102,193 |
| United Kingdom | 5,669 | * | 15,442 | 12,587 |
| All other countries | 4,706 | 9,074 | 16,040 | 14,081 |
| Total revenue | $45,729 | $44,976 | $134,912 | $128,861 |
*Revenues from the United Kingdom were not greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenue for this period.
Contract Balances
The following table provides information about accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (amounts in thousands):
| June 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | June 30, 2024 | September 30, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable, net | $40,207 | $31,682 | $41,609 | $32,132 |
| Contract assets, current | 12,180 | 15,818 | 16,805 | 18,355 |
| Contract assets, non-current | 1,403 | 3,620 | 1,793 | 5,579 |
| Contract liabilities (deferred revenue), current | 25,925 | 21,231 | 23,746 | 17,360 |
| Contract liabilities (deferred revenue), non-current | 843 | 753 | 1,257 | 957 |
Contract assets primarily result from when the right to consideration is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities primarily relate to advance consideration received from customers (deferred revenue), for which transfer of control occurs, and therefore revenue is recognized, as services are provided. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognized $3.6 million and $2.6 million of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and $19.9 million and $16.3 million of revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each such period. Unbilled receivables are included within accounts receivable, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and were $1.9 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company maintained an allowance for credit losses of $2.5 million and $2.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligation
Remaining performance obligation represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized and includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation is based on stand-alone selling price. Remaining performance obligation is influenced by several factors, including the timing of renewals, the timing of software license deliveries, average contract terms and foreign currency exchange rates. Remaining performance obligation is also impacted by acquisitions. Unbilled portions of the remaining performance obligation denominated in foreign currencies are revalued each period based on the period end exchange rates. Remaining performance obligation is subject to future economic risks, including bankruptcies, regulatory changes and other market factors. The majority of the non-current remaining performance obligation is expected to be recognized in the next 13-36 months.
Remaining performance obligation consisted of the following as of June 30, 2025 (amounts in thousands):
| June 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Current | $60,983 |
| Non-current | 19,656 |
| Total | $80,639 |
Contract Costs
Contract costs included in other current and non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $3.3 million and $2.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. Contract origination costs consist primarily of: (1) sales commissions and incentive payments made to the Company’s direct and indirect sales personnel, and (2) the associated payroll taxes and fringe benefit costs associated with the payments to the Company’s employees. Contract origination costs are amortized based on the transfer of goods or services to which the asset relates, including consideration of the expected customer benefit period. Contract fulfillment costs related to goods or services transferred under a specific anticipated contract have historically been immaterial. These costs are included in selling and marketing expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and totaled $0.5 million during each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $1.4 million and $1.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There wereno impairment losses recognized during both the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 related to capitalized contract costs.

- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation is based on observable market-based inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Valuation is based on significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The following tables represent the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s investments as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively(amounts in thousands):

- INCOME TAXES
The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, management updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and any changes are recorded in a cumulative adjustment in that quarter. The quarterly tax provision and quarterly estimate of the annual effective tax rate are subject to significant volatility due to several factors, including management’s ability to accurately predict the portion of income (loss) before income taxes in multiple jurisdictions, the tax effects of our stock-based compensation awards, and the effects of acquisitions and the integration of those acquisitions.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, which yielded an effective tax rate of 24% and 16% respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30,
2024, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, which yielded an effective tax rate of 236% and 35%, respectively. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a mix of worldwide income, the impact of non-deductible executive compensation, as well as the impact of stock-based compensation, and federal, state and foreign research and development credits on the tax provision. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 tax expense was also impacted by the release of a valuation allowance related to one of the Company’s operations in a foreign jurisdiction. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 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 the tax provision.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”). Within the Act, there were significant tax law changes with various effective dates.

The Company will implement the tax law changes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. While the Company is still evaluating the Act and any subsequent guidance, the Company does not anticipate any impact to its overall tax expense; however, the allocation between current and deferred tax expense will be impacted in the future.

Convertible Senior Notes
The carrying values of the 0.75% convertible notes due 2026 issued by the Company in an initial aggregate principal amount of $155.3 million (the “2026 Notes”) are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| 2026 Notes: | June 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Principal amount | $155,250 | $155,250 |
| Less: unamortized discount and issuance costs, net of amortization | (5,246) | (11,649) |
| Carrying amount | $150,004 | $143,601 |
In February 2021, the Company issued $155.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (including the Additional Notes, as defined below). The 2026 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2026 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated February 5, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and UMB Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the 2026 Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the 2026 Notes become automatically due and payable. The Company granted the initial purchasers of the 2026 Notes (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”) a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $20.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (the “Additional Notes”), which was exercised in full. The 2026 Notes were purchased in a transaction that was completed on February 5, 2021. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Indenture.
The 2026 Notes will mature on February 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The 2026 Notes bear interest from February 5, 2021 at a rate of 0.75% per year payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2021. The 2026 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 1, 2025, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021, if the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during five consecutive business days immediately after anyfive consecutive trading day period (such five consecutive trading day period, the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of the Common Stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Common Stock. On or after August 1, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying and/or delivering, as the case may be, cash and, if applicable at the Company’s election, shares of the Common Stock, based on the applicable conversion rate(s); provided that the Company will be required to settle conversions solely in cash unless and until the Company (i) receives stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock and (ii) reserves such amount of shares of the Common Stock for future issuance as required pursuant to the Indenture that governs the 2026 Notes. The conversion rate for the 2026 Notes will initially be 47.9731 shares of the
Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $20.85 per share of the Common Stock. The initial conversion price of the 2026 Notes represents a premium of approximately 37.5% to the $15.16 per share last reported sale price of the Common Stock on February 2, 2021. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $149.7 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated offering expenses related to the offering. The Company used approximately $9.3 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the Notes Hedge (as defined below), after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds from the Warrant Transactions described below. The Initial Purchasers exercised their option to purchase Additional Notes in full and the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of such Additional Notes to enter into additional Notes Hedges, after such cost is partially offset by the proceeds from the additional Warrant Transactions, with the Option Counterparties (as defined below).
As of June 30, 2025, the number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock that are not reserved for other purposes is sufficient to settle the 2026 Notes into equity. Accordingly, the Company has the option to settle conversions of notes through payment or delivery, as the case may be, of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election.
In accounting for the issuance of the 2026 Notes, the conversion option of the 2026 Notes was deemed an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation from the 2026 Notes (“host contract”) and separate accounting as an embedded derivative liability, as a result of the Company not having the necessary number of authorized but unissued shares of its Common Stock available to settle the conversion option of the 2026 Notes in shares. The proceeds from the 2026 Notes were first allocated to the embedded derivative liability and the remaining proceeds were then allocated to the host contract. On February 5, 2021, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability representing the conversion option was $33.2 million and the remaining $116.5 million was allocated to the host contract. The difference between the principal amount of the 2026 Notes and the fair value of the host contract (the “debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2026 Notes.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved an increase to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, to an amount sufficient to settle the conversion of the 2026 Notes. As a result of the increase to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company reclassified the embedded conversion derivative to additional paid-in capital.
As of June 30, 2025, the embedded conversion derivative is included in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will not be remeasured provided the requirements to qualify for the scope exception in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10-15-74(a) continue to be met.
Debt issuance costs for the issuance of the 2026 Notes were approximately $5.5 million, consisting of initial purchasers' discount and other issuance costs. In accounting for the transaction costs, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the 2026 Notes. Transaction costs were recorded as debt issuance cost (presented as contra debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet) and are being amortized using the effective interest method to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes.
The following table presents the total amount of interest cost recognized relating to the 2026 Notes (amounts in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Nine Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Contractual interest expense | $290 | $289 | $871 | $880 |
| Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs | 2,179 | 2,040 | 6,403 | 6,015 |
| Total interest expense recognized | $2,469 | $2,329 | $7,274 | $6,895 |
The derived effective interest rate on the 2026 Notes host contract was determined to be 6.71%, which remains unchanged from the date of issuance. The remaining unamortized debt discount was $5.2 million as of June 30, 2025, and will be amortized over approximately 0.6 years. The fair value, based on a quoted market price (Level 2), of the 2026 Notes at June 30, 2025 was approximately $151.5 million.
Convertible Senior Notes Hedge and Warrants
In connection with the pricing of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into transactions for convertible notes hedge (the “Notes Hedge” with Bank of America, N.A., Jefferies International Limited and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “Option Counterparties”). The Notes Hedge provided the Company with the option to acquire, on a net settlement basis, approximately 7.4 million shares of Common Stock at a strike price of $20.85, which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that notionally underlie and correspond to the conversion price of the 2026 Notes. The Company also entered into Warrant Transactions with the Option Counterparties relating to the same number of shares of the Common Stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The strike price of the Warrant Transactions is $26.53 per share, which represents a 75.0% premium to the last reported
sale price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 2, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Warrant Transactions.
The Company was initially required to settle the Notes Hedge in cash, as they did not qualify for the scope exception for contracts involving an issuer’s own equity in ASC 815 and were accounted for as a derivative asset. Upon initial purchase, the Notes Hedge was recorded inconvertible senior notes hedge at $33.2 million in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved an increase to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, to an amount sufficient to settle the conversion of the 2026 Notes. As a result of the increase to the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company reclassified the Notes Hedge to additional paid-in capital.
As of June 30, 2025, the Notes Hedge is included in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and will not be remeasured provided the requirements to qualify for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) continue to be met and the Company hadnot purchased any shares under the Notes Hedge.
As a result of the Warrant Transactions, the Company is required to recognize incremental dilution of earnings per share to the extent the average share price is over $26.53 for any fiscal quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, there wasno dilution of earnings per share. The Warrant Transactions expire over a period of 80 trading days commencing on May 1, 2026 and may be settled in net shares of Common Stock or net cash at the Company’s election. Upon initial sale, the Warrant Transactions were recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity of $23.9 million. As of June 30, 2025, the Warrant Transactions hadnot been exercised and remained outstanding.

The Term Loan and the Revolving Line both mature on May 1, 2030. Commencing on April 1, 2026, the Borrower must make amortization payments on any advances under the Term Loan at the percentages set forth in the Amendment.
Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement generally bear interest at a variable rate equal to (a) term SOFR plus a specified margin or (b) WSJ prime plus a specified margin, in each case which will be adjusted based on the Company’s net leverage ratio at the time of borrowing. Borrower must also pay the Bank (i) a commitment fee of $125,000 and (ii) an “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee” of 0.25% per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, and negative and affirmative covenants customary for transactions of this type. These include covenants limiting the ability of Borrower, and any of their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur liens on their assets, (iii) enter into any merger or consolidation with, or acquire all or substantially all of the equity or property of, another person, (iv) dispose of any of their business or property, (v) make or permit any payment on subordinated debt, or (vi) pay any dividend, make any other distribution, or redeem any equity.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and also provides that an event of default includes any default resulting in a right by third parties to accelerate maturity of indebtedness in excess of $500,000. If any event of default occurs and is not cured within applicable grace periods set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the facility could be terminated. In addition, Borrower may be required to deposit cash with the Bank in an amount equal to 1.05 of any undrawn letters of credit denominated in U.S. Dollars or 1.15 of any undrawn letters of credit denominated in a foreign currency.
The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a net leverage ratio of no more than 2.50 to 1.00 and if the Company consummates a permitted acquisition during the trailing twelve-month period, the net leverage ratio may not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s net leverage ratio was 1.20 to 1.00 and as such the Company was in compliance with the net leverage ratio covenant of the Amended Credit Agreement. There areno outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2025.

- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
Third Party Claims Against the Company’s Customers
The Company receives indemnification demands from end-user customers who received third party patentee offers to license patents and allegations of patent infringement. Some of the offers and allegations have resulted in ongoing litigation. The Company is not a party to any such litigation. From time to time, license offers to and infringement allegations against the Company’s end-customers are made by non-practicing entities (“NPEs”)—often called “patent trolls”—and not the Company’s competitors. These NPEs may seek to extract settlements from our end-customers, resulting in new or renewed indemnification demands to the Company. At this time, the Company does not believe it is obligated to indemnify any customers or end-customers resulting from license offers or patent infringement allegations by any such NPEs. However, the Company could incur substantial costs if it is determined that it is required to indemnify any customers or end-customers in connection with these offers or allegations. Given the potential for impact to other customers and the industry, the Company is actively monitoring the offers, allegations and any resulting litigation.
Since 2018, United Services Automobile Association (“USAA”) has filed suit against various parties alleging patent infringement concerning USAA-owned patents related to mobile check deposit technology. While these lawsuits do not name the Company as a defendant, given (among other factors) the Company’s prior history of litigation with USAA and the continued use of the Company’s products by its customers, on November 1, 2019, the Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California seeking declaratory judgment that its products do not infringe certain patents held by USAA (collectively, the “Subject Patents”), which USAA sought to dismiss for lack of standing. Following various appeals and transfers, the Company timely filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On June 12, 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the action for lack of standing, but did not address the merits of the case. The Company chose not to appeal this decision. The Company continues to believe that its products do not infringe the Subject Patents and will vigorously defend the right of its end-users to use its technology.
On January 28, 2025, USAA filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Regions Financial Corporation and Regions Bank (“Regions”) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The Company was not named as a defendant or mentioned in connection with any alleged infringement in the complaint. On March 13, 2025, Digital First Holdings d/b/a Candescent, the successor-in-interest of NCR’s digital banking business, sent the Company an indemnification demand relating to the lawsuit. The Company does not believe at this time that it is required to indemnify Candescent or Regions and has notified them of its position. On July 7, 2025, Regions filed a motion to dismiss the complaint alleging that the patent claims are invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101. On July 14, 2025, Regions filed a motion to stay the case pending the resolution of its motion to dismiss.
Claim Against UrbanFT, Inc.
On July 31, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit against one of its customers, UrbanFT, Inc. (“UrbanFT”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (case No. 19-CV-1432-CAB-DEB). UrbanFT is delinquent in payment and attempted to justify its non-payment by asserting that the Company is or may be infringing on purported UrbanFT patents. The Company filed such lawsuit to collect the delinquent payments and to obtain a declaratory judgment of non-infringement offive purported UrbanFT patents. UrbanFT filed an answer and later asserted infringement oftwo of thefive patents-at-issue in the Company’s lawsuit against UrbanFT. The Company thereafter filed counterclaims seeking a declaration that thetwo patents now asserted by UrbanFT are invalid in addition to being not infringed. During the course of the litigation, the Company learned that a judgment had been entered against UrbanFT’s affiliates and its predecessor owner in which an Oregon court ordered that the patents in issue revert to a prior owner, Mr. Stevens, because UrbanFT’s affiliates did not pay the purchase price owed to the prior owner. On September 8, 2020, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on its breach of contract claim. On September 15, 2020, the district court issued an order to show cause regarding jurisdiction over patent issues in light of the Oregon judgment. On December 17,
2020, the district court dismissed Mitek’s claims for declaratory judgment of non-infringement and UrbanFT’s counterclaims for patent infringement and related affirmative defenses based on infringement of the patents for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because UrbanFT does not own the patents. The district court then dismissed the remaining state law claims without prejudice to refiling in state court.
On December 18, 2020, the Company filed a new suit against UrbanFT in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego (case no. 37-2020-00046670-CU-BC-CTL) asserting claims for breach of contract, open book account, and monetary damages. UrbanFT filed an answer and did not assert any cross-claims. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment which was heard on April 15, 2022. The Court granted the Company’s motion and on June 2, 2022, entered a judgment in favor of the Company for $1.7 million in compensatory damages, plus costs, including attorney’s fees. The Court awarded the Company $2,600 in costs plus $0.6 million in attorneys’ fees for a total judgment of $2.3 million. The time for UrbanFT to appeal the $1.7 million in compensatory damage judgment has expired but the time for UrbanFT to appeal the attorneys’ fee and cost award has not. No appeal has been filed.
On August 2, 2023, the Company filed a separate lawsuit against Richard Steggall, UFT (North America), LLC fka Urban FT LLC; Urban FT Group, Inc; Urban FT Client Solutions, LLC; UFT Professional Services, LLC; and X-35 Financial Technologies, in the San Diego Superior Court, (case No. 37-2023-00033005-CU-FR-CTL) (“Fraud Conveyance Action”). The Fraud Conveyance Action alleges that Mr. Steggall orchestrated a scheme to strip UFT (North America), LLC of any assets and effectively transfer the Urban FT business to other entities he owns and controls, all to avoid the Company’s collection efforts. The Fraud Conveyance Action also alleges that Mr. Steggall funnels Urban FT’s revenues through a web of other entities he owns and controls, all to ensure that creditors, including the Company, cannot collect their debts.
On February 23, 2024, the Court set the Fraud Conveyance Action for trial on March 14, 2025. Separately, the Company filed two motions to compel discovery set for April 12, 2024. The defendants have filed a motion to quash the Company’s subpoena to Chase Bank and the defendants filed an Order to Show Cause to hold the Company in contempt for violating the parties’ Protective Order. The Company anticipates filing its own motion for sanctions against defendants for their frivolous contempt motion.
On April 12, 2024, the Court granted the Company’s two motions to compel discovery and the parties are presently working through various issues in Urban FT’s discovery responses following the Court granting the motions to compel. Separately, the parties agreed to withdraw: (1) the subpoena to Chase Bank; (2) the motion to quash the subpoena to Chase Bank; (3) the Order to Show cause to hold Company in contempt; and (4) the Company’s motion for sanctions in response to the contempt motion.
In March 2025, Steggall filed a motion for summary judgment, which was set to be heard on June 6, 2025 but was postponed until October 3, 2025. Trial has been continued to January 2026.
Other Legal Matters
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company accrues for such liabilities when it is both (i) probable that a loss has occurred and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. While any legal proceeding has an element of uncertainty, the Company believes that the disposition of such matters, in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
