Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
We were incorporated in the state of Washington in April 2005, and were reincorporated in the state of Delaware in March 2008. Box provides a leading intelligent content management platform that enables organizations of all sizes to securely manage cloud content while allowing easy, secure access and sharing of this content from anywhere, on any device.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of Box and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of our management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit, and the statements of cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the year ending January 31, 2025. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2024.
Certain prior period amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect revenue, income from operations, or net income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the fair value of acquired intangible assets, the useful lives of intangible assets, the incremental borrowing rate we use to determine our lease liabilities, and the valuation allowance of deferred income tax assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Certain Risks and Concentrations
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. Although we deposit our cash with multiple financial institutions, our deposits, at times, may exceed deposit insurance coverage limits.
We sell to a broad range of customers. Our revenue is derived primarily from the United States across a multitude of industries. Accounts receivable are derived from the delivery of our services to customers primarily located in the United States. We accept and settle our accounts receivable using credit cards, electronic payments and checks. A majority of our lower dollar value invoices are settled by credit card on or near the date of the invoice. We do not require collateral from customers to secure accounts receivable. We believe collections of our accounts receivable are probable based on the size, industry diversification, financial condition and past transaction history of our customers. As of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. No single customer represented over 10% of our revenuefor the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023.
We serve our customers and users from public cloud hosting operated by third parties. In order to reduce the risk of down time of our subscription services, we have public cloud hosting services established in various locations in the United States and abroad and we have internal procedures to restore services in the event of disaster. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, our cloud services could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of the procedures to restore services.
Geographic Locations
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, revenue attributable to customers in the United States was 64% and 65%, respectively, and revenue attributable to customers in Japan was 24% and 23%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, revenue attributable to customers in the United States was 65% and 66%, respectively, and revenue attributable to customers in Japan was 21%.
As of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, substantially all of our property and equipment was located in the United States.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Derivative Instruments and Hedging
We measure derivative instruments at fair value and recognize them as either assets or liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We record changes in fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income (loss). When the hedged transaction affects earnings, we subsequently reclassify the net derivative gain or loss within other comprehensive income (loss) into the same line as the hedged item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations to offset the changes in the hedged transaction. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through interest and other income, net, on our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period during which changes in fair value occur.
There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended October 31, 2024 from those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024. Additionally, we have asingle reporting segment and all required segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about the types of expenses (including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) in commonly presented expense captions in the statement of operations. For interim and annual reporting periods, entities will be required to provide this information in tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of tax information in rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on our condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Note 2. Revenue
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue was $491.3 million and $586.9 million as of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $225.4 million and $212.9 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of July 31,2024 and 2023, respectively. During the nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $512.1 million and $491.4 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
As of October 31, 2024, we had remaining performance obligations from contracts with customers of $1.3 billion. We expect to recognize revenue on 57% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the substantial majority of the remaining balance expected to be recognized within 24 months.
Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy which requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. We define fair value as the exchange price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Observable inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices which are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These inputs are based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value and require significant management judgment or estimation.
Financial assets subject to the fair value disclosure requirements are included in the tables below. All of our financial assets are classified as Level 1. The estimated fair value of cash equivalents and short-term investments were as follows (in thousands):
| October 31, | January 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2024 | |
| Cash equivalents: | ||
| Money market funds | $95,482 | $189,268 |

| Total cash equivalents and short-term investments (1) | $186,175 | $256,216 |
(1)
As of January 31, 2024, we had a certificate of deposit for a total of $30.0 million with an original maturity of more than three months and less than twelve months that is classified as a short-term investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. This certificate of deposit is not included in the table above as it does not meet the definition of a security.
There were no material differences between the estimated fair value and amortized cost of our cash equivalents and short-term investments.
As of October 31, 2024, contractual maturities of our cash equivalents and short-term investments were as follows (in thousands):
| October 31, | |
|---|---|
| Due within one year | $181,208 |
| Due between one to five years | 4,967 |
| Total | $186,175 |
As of October 31, 2024, we do not consider any portion of the unrealized losses to be credit losses.
Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments
In September 2024, we issued $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due September 15, 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Notes”). In January 2021, we issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due January 15, 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes” and together with the 2029 Convertible Notes, the “Convertible
Notes”). Using the proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Convertible Notes, we entered into separate and privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes to repurchase $140.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes, which were completed simultaneously with the new convertible debt offering. The estimated fair values of the Convertible Notes, which we have classified as Level 2 financial instruments, were determined using observable market prices. As of October 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the 2029 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes was $453.0 million and $265.6 million, respectively, and as of January 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Convertible Notes was $392.1 million.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2024, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. These foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at fair value and have maturities of 12 months or less. As of October 31, 2024, we had foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments with a total notional value of $72.3 million. Our foreign currency forward contracts are classified as Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets, such as currency spot and forward rates. As of October 31, 2024, the gross fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts was $2.6 million, recognized in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The losses recognized for these foreign currency forward contracts werenot materialfor the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024. As of January 31, 2024, we didnot have foreign currency forward contracts.
Note 4. Leases
We have entered into various non-cancellable operating lease agreements for certain of our offices and data centers with lease periods expiring primarily between fiscal years 2026 and 2034. Certain of these arrangements have free or escalating rent payment provisions and optional renewal or termination clauses. Our operating leases typically include variable lease payments, which are primarily comprised of common area maintenance and utility charges for our offices and power and network connections for our data centers, that are determined based on actual consumption. Our operating lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees, covenants, or other restrictions.
Wehave also entered into various finance lease arrangements to obtain servers and related equipment for our data center operations. These agreements are primarily forfour years and certain of these arrangements have optional renewal or termination clauses. The leases are secured by the underlying leased servers and related equipment. During fiscal year 2023, we modified our finance leases to reflect our intent to exercise the purchase options at the end of the term of each finance lease. As of January 31, 2024, there wereno remaining material finance lease liabilities.
We sublease certain floors of our Redwood City and London offices. Our current subleases have total lease terms ranging from 13 to 48 months that will expire at various dates by fiscal year 2029.
The components of lease cost, which were included in operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, were as follows (in thousands):

As of October 31, 2024, maturities of our operating lease liabilities, which do not include short-term leases and variable lease payments, are as follows (in thousands):
| Years ending January 31: | Operating Leases (1) |
|---|---|
| 2025 | $8,004 |
| 2026 | 30,392 |

As of October 31, 2024, we hadone operating lease for an office space that has not yet commenced. This operating lease has aggregated undiscounted future payments of $20.0 million and a lease term ofnine years. This operating lease is estimated to commence during fiscal year 2026.
Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Letters of Credit
As of October 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, we had letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $11.2 million and $11.4 million, respectively, in connection with our operating leases and voluntary disability insurance (VDI) program, which were primarily issued under the available sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit in conjunction with a secured credit agreement as disclosed in Note 6.
Purchase Obligations
Our purchase obligations relate primarily to public cloud hosting services and IT software and support services costs and have terms ranging fromtwo toeight years. As of October 31, 2024, future minimum payments under non-cancellable contractual purchases, which were not recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, are as follows, shown in accordance with the payment due date (in thousands):
| Years ending January 31: | |
|---|---|
| Remainder of 2025 | $1,028 |
| 2026 | 14,753 |
| 2027 | 241,250 |
| 2028 | 1,134 |
| 2029 | 355 |
| Total | $258,520 |
Legal Matters
From time to time, we are subject to litigation and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We investigate litigation and claims as they arise and accrue estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and estimable. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe there was not at least a reasonable possibility that we had incurred a material loss with respect to such loss contingencies as of October 31, 2024.
Note 6. Debt
Convertible Notes
2029 Convertible Notes
In September 2024, we issued $460.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due September 15, 2029. The 2029 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 1.50% per year payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2025. Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes will be convertible into 23.0102 shares of our Class A common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $43.46 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events.
The 2029 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders of the 2029 Convertible Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 15, 2029, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on January 31, 2025 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during thefive-business day period after anyfive consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock and the conversion rate for the 2029 Convertible Notes on each such trading day; (3) if we call the 2029 Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
On or after June 15, 2029, holders of the 2029 Convertible Notes may convert all or any portion of the 2029 Convertible Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, we will satisfy our conversion obligation by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes to be converted and we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, the conversion premium in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.
We may not redeem the 2029 Convertible Notes prior to September 20, 2027. We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2029 Convertible Notes, at our option, on or after September 20, 2027, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Convertible Notes, which means we are not required to redeem or retire the 2029 Convertible Notes periodically.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2029 Convertible Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders of the 2029 Convertible Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the 2029 Convertible Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
2026 Convertible Notes
In January 2021, we issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due January 15, 2026. The 2026 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and do not bear regular interest. Each $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes will be convertible into 38.7962 shares of our Class A common stock, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $25.78 per share.
There have been no changes to the conversion or redemption terms of the 2026 Convertible Notes during the nine months ended October 31, 2024 from those disclosed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024.
In September 2024, using proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Convertible Notes, we entered into separate and privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes to repurchase $140.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes for an aggregate amount of $191.7 million of cash. The repurchase was accounted for as an induced conversion. We recognized $10.1 million of induced conversion expense, representing the fair value of the consideration paid to certain holders of the 2026 Convertible Notes in excess of the value to which they were entitled to receive pursuant to the original conversion terms. This expense was recognized in interest and other (expense) income, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remaining consideration of $42.6 million, after accounting for the induced conversion expense and carrying value of the 2026 Convertible Notes on the date of repurchase, including unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.0 million, was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
As of October 31, 2024, the conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Notes to convert were not met.
The net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes consisted of the following (in thousands):
| October 31, · January 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 · 2024 | |||
| 2029 Convertible Notes | 2026 Convertible Notes | 2026 Convertible Notes | |
| Principal | $460,000 | $205,000 | $345,000 |
| Unamortized issuance costs | (11,947) | (1,378) | (3,750) |
| Net carrying amount | $448,053 | $203,622 | $341,250 |
Issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate used to amortize the issuance costs of the 2029 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes is 2.06% and 0.56%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, interest expense recognized related to the 2029 Convertible Notes and 2026 Convertible Notes was not material.
Capped Calls
In connection with the pricing of the 2029 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the “2029 Capped Calls”). The 2029 Capped Calls each have a strike price of approximately $43.46 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which correspond to the initial conversion price of the 2029 Convertible Notes. The 2029 Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $66.86 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The 2029 Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 10.6 million shares of our Class A common stock. The cost of $52.5 million incurred in connection with the 2029 Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
In connection with the pricing of the 2026 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the “2026 Capped Calls” and together with the 2029 Capped Calls, the “Capped Calls”). The 2026 Capped Calls each have a strike price of approximately $25.80 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which correspond to the initial conversion price of the 2026 Convertible Notes. The 2026 Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $35.58 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The 2026 Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 13.4 million shares of our Class A common stock. The cost of $27.8 million incurred in connection with the 2026 Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. In September 2024, in connection with the repurchase of the 2026 Convertible Notes, we entered into agreements to unwind a portion of the 2026 Capped Calls and received approximately $30.3 million, which was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Apart from the partial unwind agreements, there have been no changes to the condition of the 2026 Capped Calls.
The Capped Calls are generally intended to reduce or offset the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes (or, in the event a conversion of the Convertible Notes is settled in cash, to offset our cash payment obligation) with such reduction or offset, as the case may be, subject to a cap based on the cap price. The Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders’ deficit and are not accounted for as derivatives.
Line of Credit
On June 30, 2023, we entered into an amended and restated secured credit agreement (the “June 2023 Facility”) to provide for a $150.0 million revolving loan facility with a $45.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. There have been no changes to the terms and conditions of the June 2023 Facility during the nine months ended October 31, 2024 from those disclosed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024.
In September 2024, we paid down $30.0 million of our outstanding principal balance on the June 2023 Facility. As of October 31, 2024, we hadno debt outstanding on the June 2023 Facility and were in compliance with all financial covenants.
Note 7. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On April 7, 2021, we entered into an investment agreement with a group of investors led by KKR & Co. Inc. (collectively “KKR”) relating to the issuance and sale of 500,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million, or $1,000 per share.
There have been no changes to the terms and conditions of the Series A Preferred Stock during the nine months ended October 31, 2024 from those disclosed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in our Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2024, we paid cash dividends to our Series A Preferred Stockholders in the amount of $11.3 million and as of October 31, 2024, we had accrued dividends of $1.3 million on the Series A Preferred Stock. Accrued dividends are recorded against additional paid-in capital due to Box being in an accumulated deficit position.
Share Repurchase Plan
Our Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase plan to opportunistically repurchase shares of our outstanding Class A common stock in open market transactions and on August 25, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million shares of our Class A common stock. We periodically enter into pre-set trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to effect repurchases under our share repurchase plan.
During the three months ended October 31, 2024, we repurchased 1.0 million shares at a weighted average price of $29.78 per share for a total amount of $29.9 million. Duringthe nine months ended October 31, 2024, we repurchased 6.3 million shares at a weighted average price of $27.01 per share for a total amount of $169.0 million. As of October 31, 2024, $94.6 million remained available for additional repurchases.
Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation
Employee Equity Plans

As of October 31, 2024, there was $403.3 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock units granted to employees that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.63 years.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
We use performance-based incentives for certain employees, including our named executive officers, to achieve our annual financial and operational objectives, while making progress towards our longer-term strategic and growth goals. Based on a review of our actual achievement of the pre-established corporate financial objectives and additional inputs from our Compensation Committee, the executive bonus plan for fiscal year 2024 was determined, settled and paid out in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 in the form of cash and fully vested restricted stock units. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, our Compensation Committee also adopted and approved the performance criteria and targets for the executive bonus plan for fiscal year 2025, which is expected to be paid out in the form of cash and fully vested restricted stock units in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2024, we recognized stock-based compensation expense related to executive bonus plans in the amount of $10.5 million. The unrecognized compensation expense related to the ungranted and unvested executive bonus plan for fiscal year 2025 is $6.1 million, based on the expected performance against the pre-established corporate financial objectives as of October 31, 2024, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of less than one year.
2015 ESPP
As of October 31, 2024, there was $8.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the 2015 ESPP that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of less thanone year.

Note 9. Net Income per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net income attributable to common stockholders is calculated as net income less accretion, dividends, and undistributed earnings attributable to preferred stockholders. Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive common stock, including stock options, restricted stock units, ESPP, and convertible senior notes.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended October 31, | Nine Months Ended October 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Numerator: | ||||
| Net income | $12,893 | $10,656 | $50,611 | $29,797 |
| Accretion and dividend on series A convertible preferred stock | (4,282) | (4,280) | (12,832) | (12,811) |
| Undistributed earnings attributable to preferred stockholders | (985) | (729) | (4,302) | (1,938) |
| Net income attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted | $7,626 | $5,647 | $33,477 | $15,048 |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted-average number of shares used to compute net income per share attributable to common stockholders, basic | 143,479 | 143,915 | 144,275 | 144,296 |
| Dilutive effect of awards issued under employee equity plans | 4,234 | 3,216 | 3,009 | 3,943 |
| Dilutive effect of shares related to the convertible senior notes | 1,358 | 494 | 718 | 1,112 |
| Weighted-average number of shares used to compute net income per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted | 149,071 | 147,625 | 148,002 | 149,351 |
| Net income per share attributable to common stockholders, basic | $0.05 | $0.04 | $0.23 | $0.10 |
| Net income per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted | $0.05 | $0.04 | $0.23 | $0.10 |
The following weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented because the impact of including them would have been antidilutive (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended October 31, | Nine Months Ended October 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |

Note 10. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $4.4 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, respectively, and $2.5 million and $7.2 millionfor the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, respectively. Our income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 were primarily due to state income taxes and foreign income taxes.
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024, the difference between the U.S. statutory rate and our effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets, state income taxes, driven by the capitalization of research and development expenditures, and differing foreign tax rates.
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023, the difference between the U.S. statutory rate and our effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance on our U.S. and United Kingdom (U.K.) deferred tax assets, state income taxes, driven by the capitalization of research and development expenditures, and differing foreign tax rates.
We evaluate tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for our income tax uncertainties in all open tax years.
We file tax returns in the U.S. for federal, California, and other states. All tax years remain open to examination for both federal and state purposes as a result of our net operating loss and credit carryforwards. We file tax returns in the U.K. and other foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax years ending on January 31,2020 and onwards remain open to examination for the U.K. Certain tax years remain open to examination under the statute of limitations of the respective countries in which our other foreign subsidiaries are located.
