Middle East Conflict
Current report
Gross margin slightly decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, reflecting a shift in our revenue mix, as SaaS subscriptions, which incur higher hosting costs, contributed to a lower overall margin.
Current report
Sales and marketing expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $17.3 million in share-based compensation expense, an increase of $13.6 million in personnel-related expenses mainly as a result of increased headcount, an increase of $2.7 million in allocated overhead costs, and an increase of $2.6 million in commissions.
Current report
Income tax expense decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to higher excess tax benefits from share-based compensation awards and a discrete tax benefit in Israel attributable to the release of valuation allowance as a result of recognizing deferred tax liabilities associated with the Qwak acquisition.
Current report
Business Combinations
Current report
Accounting for business combinations requires us to make significant estimates and assumptionsin determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to intangible assets. Critical estimates in valuing the acquired intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from product sales, the appropriate weighted-average cost of capital, and the cost savings expected to be derived from acquiring an asset. Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based, in part, on histor ical experience and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain.

In connection with the Israeli security cabinet’s war declaration against Hamas and possible hostilities with other organizations, several hundred thousand Israeli military reservists were drafted by the Israel Defense Forces to perform immediate military service.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants and members of other terrorist organizations infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of terror attacks on civilian and military targets.

Current wording
On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants and members of other terrorist organizations infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of terror attacks on civilian and military targets. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and commenced a military campaign against these terrorist organizations. Since the commencement of these events, there have been additional active hostilities, including with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iran, and most recently, the Houthi movement which controls parts of Yemen. The conflict has recently expanded into Lebanon and though ceasefires have been reached with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, it is possible that hostilities will resume without warning and escalate into a greater regional conflict, and that additional terrorist organizations and countries could actively join the hostilities.

Although we are domiciled in Israel, we are a global, cloud-based company, with operations spanning numerous countries with redundant infrastructure and code located outside of Israel. We maintain a comprehensive business continuity plan and have taken the necessary steps in line with such plan, in an effort to ensure that our operations and service to our customers remain consistent, in light of certain employees drafted as reservists in the war between Hamas and Israel. Our business continuity plan is structured around three pillars and was activated on October 7, 2023, hours after the attack on Israel. The first pillar is our internal plan focused on the safety of our employees in Israel and maintaining internal communication channels. The second pillar revolves around technology to support continuity of our services, security, cyber defense, and research and development. The third pillar is dedicated to our external-facing activities to promote continuity of customer engagements, support and external communication. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there has been no major interruption or material adverse impact on our operating results. We will continue to monitor the situation as it progresses.

We quantify our expansion across existing customers through our net dollar retention rate. Our net dollar retention rate compares our annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) from the same set of customers across comparable periods. We define ARR as the annualized revenue run-rate of subscription agreements from all customers as of the last month of the quarter. The ARR includes monthly subscription customers so long as we generate revenue from these customers. We annualize our monthly subscriptions by taking the revenue we would contractually expect to receive from such customers in a given month and multiplying it by 12. We calculate net dollar retention rate by first identifying customers (the “Base Customers”), which were customers in the last month of a particular quarter (the “Base Quarter”). We then calculate the contracted ARR from these Base Customers in the last month of the same quarter of the subsequent year (the “Comparison Quarter”). This calculation captures upsells, contraction, and attrition since the Base Quarter. We then divide total Comparison Quarter ARR by total Base Quarter ARR for Base Customers. Our net dollar retention rate in a particular quarter is obtained by averaging the result from that particular quarter with the corresponding results from each of the prior three quarters. Our net dollar retention rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the level of penetration within our customer base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our customers. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our net dollar retention rate was 119% and 128%, respectively. We expect our net dollar retention rate to stabilize around current levels.

We believe we will have sufficient liquidity from our operations to fulfill the commitments.
Current wording
The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding. Purchase obligations represent our commitments primarily for hosting services, software products and services under contracts with remaining terms of 12 months or longer. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity from our operations to fulfill the commitments.
Previous wording
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods. We believe our judgments and estimates associated with the determination of standalone selling price for each performance obligation in revenue recognition and accounting for income taxes, which we discuss further below, could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
