Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “OneSpan,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to OneSpan Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Note 1 –Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Company
OneSpan delivers cutting-edge solutions in two key areas: advanced secure authentication, which is provided through its Security Solutions business unit, and digital agreements, which is provided through its Digital Agreements business unit. The Company's secure authentication solutions protect devices, users, and applications with robust multi-factor and passwordless authentication and other fraud prevention technologies. Its digital agreements solutions combine identity verification, electronic signatures, and digital workflows to streamline agreements, enhance compliance, and accelerate business processes. OneSpan empowers organizations to automate and secure both customer-facing and revenue-generating processes, supporting a wide range of use cases—from simple transactions to complex workflows requiring elevated security. OneSpan has operations in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom (U.K.), and the United States (U.S.).
Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid its quarterly cash dividend declared on December 16, 2024, as part of a recurring quarterly dividend program. The initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share was paid to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2025. The declaration and payment of future dividends is subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OneSpan and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial position and results of operations of the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates are charged or credited to other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in other (expense) income, net. Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) aggregated to $(0.2) million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025 that impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Restricted Cash
The Company is a party to lease agreements that require letters of credit to secure the obligations which totaled $0.2 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The restricted cash related to the letters of credit will be held for a period greater than 12 months, and, therefore, is recorded as "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Other Accrued Expenses
Other accrued expenses consist of the following:
| (In thousands) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Current operating lease liabilities | $1,997 | $2,351 |
| Accrued sales tax and VAT | 460 | 1,127 |
| Other accrued expenses | 4,078 | 1,980 |
| Accrued professional fees | 728 | 881 |
| Total | $7,263 | $6,339 |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) –Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Public business entities are required to adopt for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) –Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosures in the notes to financial statements about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statement of operations. The requirements of the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements are able to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3 –Segment Information
Segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company's reportable segments are businesses units that offer different products and services and are as follows:
Security Solutions. Security Solutions consists of our broad portfolio of software products, software development kits (SDKs), and Digipass authenticator devices that are used to build applications designed to defend against attacks on digital transactions across online environments, devices, and applications. The software products and SDKs included in the Security Solutions segment are on-premises and, to a lesser extent, cloud software products, and include multi-factor authentication and transaction signing solutions, such as mobile application security and mobile software tokens.
Digital Agreements. Digital Agreements consists of solutions that enable our clients to secure and automate business processes associated with their digital agreement and customer transaction lifecycles that require consent, non-repudiation and compliance. These solutions, which are largely cloud-based, include OneSpan Sign e-signature, OneSpan Notary, and Identity Verification.
Segment operating income (loss) consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, restructuring and other related charges, and amortization of intangible assets expense that are incurred directly by a segment. Sales and marketing and research and development expenses were determined to be significant segment expenses. Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not directly attributable to a particular segment.
The tables below set forth information about the Company’s operating segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue by location of customer
We classify our sales by customer location inthree geographic regions: 1) EMEA, which includes Europe, Middle East and Africa; 2) the Americas, which includes North, Central, and South America; and 3) Asia Pacific (APAC), which includes Australia, New Zealand, and India. The breakdown of revenue in each of our major geographic areas was as follows:

| (In thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Products and licenses transferred at a point in time | $37,240 | $37,798 |
| Services transferred over time | 26,126 | 27,045 |
| Total Revenue | $63,366 | $64,843 |
Contract balances
The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| March 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Receivables, inclusive of trade and unbilled | $29,595 | $56,229 |
| Contract Assets (current and non-current) | $10,860 | $10,686 |
| Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue current and non-current) | $54,783 | $70,855 |
Contract assets relate primarily to multi-year term license arrangements and the remaining contractual billings. These contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to bill occurs over a 2- to 5-year period. The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for subscription and maintenance services. Revenue is recognized for these services over time.
As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between the Company's transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. Extended payment terms are not typically included in contracts with customers.
Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $34.2 million that was included on the December 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet in contract liabilities. Deferred revenue decreased in the same period due to timing of annual renewals.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the revenue that is expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the end of the period. The following table includes expected revenue to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of March 31, 2025:
| (In thousands) | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | Beyond 2027 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Future revenue related to current unsatisfied performance obligations | $46,735 | $34,754 | $11,695 | $3,243 | $96,427 |
The Company applies practical expedients and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations (a) that have original expected durations of one year or less, or (b) where revenue is recognized as invoiced.
Costs of obtaining a contract
The Company incurs incremental costs related to commissions, which can be directly tied to obtaining a contract. The Company capitalizes commissions associated with certain new contracts and amortizes the costs over a period of up to 7 years, which is the determined benefit period based on the estimated customer relationship period or customer benefit period. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the customer contracts, its technology and other factors, including customer attrition. Commissions are earned upon invoicing to the customer. For contracts with multiple year payment terms, because the commissions that are payable after year 1 are payable based on continued employment, they are expensed when incurred. Commissions and amortization expense are included in “Sales and Marketing” expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As a practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period for the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in “Sales and Marketing” expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following tables provide information related to the capitalized costs and amortization recognized in the current and prior period within "Other current assets" and "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:
| (In thousands) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |

Note 9 –Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing base upon its own market assumptions.
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets by level in the fair value hierarchy, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| Fair Value Measurement at Reporting Date Using | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | March 31, 2025 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets forIdentical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs(Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |

| U.S. Treasury Bills | $3,500 | 3,500 | $— | $— |
| Money Market Funds | $51,690 | $51,690 | $— | $— |
The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. The Company reviews available-for-sale debt securities for impairments related to losses and other factors each quarter. The unrealized gains and losses on the available-for-sale debt securities were not material as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company didnot have any financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, which include goodwill and long-lived assets held and used, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, the Company would evaluate the non-financial assets and liabilities for impairment. If an impairment was to occur, the asset or liability would be recorded at its estimated fair value.
Note 10 –Allowance for Credit Losses
In accordance with accounting standards updates ("ASU") No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” the Company evaluates its allowance based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, which is known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The allowance is determined using the loss rate approach and is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Where financial instruments do not share risk characteristics, they are evaluated on an individual basis. The allowance is based on relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The changes in the allowance for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:
| (In thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Balance at December 31, 2024 | $1,600 |
| Provision for (recovery of) credit loss | (328) |
| Write-offs | (125) |
| Balance at March 31, 2025 | $1,147 |
Note 11 –Leases
Operating lease cost details for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| Three Months EndedMarch 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Building rent | $231 | $312 |
| Automobile rentals | 264 | 347 |
| Total net operating lease costs | $495 | $659 |
At March 31, 2025, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term for its operating leases is 5.0 years, and the weighted average discount rate for its operating leases is 6%.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were $0.5 million of operating cash payments for lease liabilities and $0.3 million of right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new lease liabilities.
Maturities of the Company’s operating leases as of March 31, 2025 are as follows:
| (In thousands) | As of March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|
| 2025 | $1,782 |
| 2026 | 2,339 |
| 2027 | 1,946 |
| 2028 | 1,840 |
| 2029 | 1,045 |
| Later years | 1,352 |
| Less imputed interest | (1,399) |
| Total lease liabilities | $8,905 |
Note 12 –Income Taxes
The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for 2025, before discrete items is expected to be approximately 19%. The Company’s global effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of foreign operations, the release of valuation allowances for the current year earnings for companies with a valuation allowance, offset by nondeductible expenses. The ultimate tax expense will depend on the mix of earnings in various jurisdictions. Income taxes, net of refunds, of $1.7 million and $0.9 million were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Management assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a regular basis, weighing all positive and negative evidence to determine whether a deferred tax asset will be fully or partially realized. In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, significant pieces of negative evidence such as 3-year cumulative losses are considered. Management also reviews reversal patterns of temporary differences to determine if the Company would have sufficient taxable income due to the reversal of temporary differences to support the realization of deferred tax assets.
Certain operations have incurred net operating losses (NOLs), which are currently subject to a valuation allowance. These NOLs may become deductible to the extent these operations become profitable. For each of its operations, the Company evaluates whether it is more likely than not that the tax benefits related to NOLs will be realized. As part of this evaluation, the Company considers evidence such as tax planning strategies, historical operating results, forecasted taxable income, and recent financial performance. In the year that certain operations record a loss, the Company does not recognize a corresponding tax benefit, thus increasing its effective tax rate, or decreasing its effective tax rate when reporting income in a jurisdiction that has a valuation allowance. Upon determining that it is more likely than not that the NOLs will be realized, the Company will reduce the tax valuation allowances related to these NOLs, which will result in a reduction of its income tax expense and its effective tax rate in the period.
Note 13 –Long-Term Compensation Plan and Stock Based Compensation
Under the OneSpan Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company awards restricted stock units subject to time-based vesting, restricted stock units which are subject to the achievement of future performance criteria and restricted stock units that are subject to the achievement of market conditions. The Company also awards a small amount of cash incentive awards under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as shown in the table below.
The Company awarded 0.3 million restricted stock units during the three months ended March 31, 2025, subject to time-based vesting. The fair value of the unissued time-based restricted stock unit grants was $4.8 million at the dates of grant and the grants are being amortized over the vesting periods ofone tothree years.
The Company awarded restricted stock units subject to the achievement of service and future performance criteria during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which allows for up to 0.3 million shares to be earned if the performance criteria are achieved at the target level. The fair value of these awards was $5.7 million as the dates of grant and the awards are being amortized over the requisite service period ofone tothree years. The Company currently believes that approximately 100% of these shares are expected to be earned.
The following table summarizes total compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

The Company accrues loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has recorded an accrual of $0.6 million for loss contingencies associated with employment-termination benefits and employee related taxes.
The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that, in the judgment of the Company, are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable. Although the Company intends to defend its legal matters vigorously, the ultimate outcome of these matters is uncertain. However, the Company does not expect the potential losses, if any, to have a material adverse impact on its operating results, cash flows, or financial condition. As of March 31, 2025, the Company does not have any reasonably possible losses for which an estimate can be made.
Note 16 –Restructuring and Other Related Charges
In 2021 and 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved cost reduction actions designed to streamline its business and improve efficiency. On August 3, 2023, the Board approved further cost reduction actions (the "2023 Actions") to seek to drive higher levels of Adjusted EBITDA while maintaining the Company's long-term growth potential. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur restructuring charges in connection with the 2023 Actions, and anticipates that these charges will consist primarily of charges related to employee transition and severance payments, with a significantly smaller amount of charges relating to vendor contract termination and rationalization actions.
In connection with the Plan (including the 2023 Actions), the Company recorded a total of $0.4 million and $1.6 million in restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Approximately less than $0.1 million is recorded in "Services and other cost of goods sold" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for both periods while the remaining amounts of $0.4 million and $1.5 million is recorded in “Restructuring and other related charges” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The main categories of charges are in the following areas:
Employee costs – include severance, related benefits and retention pay costs incurred as a result of eliminating positions in certain areas of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 employee costs were $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In total, there were approximately 335 employees, across multiple functions, whose positions were made redundant. The $0.6 million current portion of the restructuring liability at March 31, 2025 is included in "Accrued wages and payroll taxes" in the consolidated balance sheet and is expected to be paid within the next 12 months.
Real estate rationalization costs – includes costs to align the real estate footprint with the Company’s needs. During 2023, the Company vacated its Chicago and Brussels office spaces, which resulted in the abandonment and termination of the underlying leases. In August 2024, the Company finalized its early termination agreement with the Chicago office landlord to terminate and release any further obligations for either party. The remaining contract termination fees of $0.5 million were paid in January 2025 andno liability was outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
Vendor rationalization costs – include costs for contractually committed services the Company is no longer utilizing. The Company recognized $0.1 million and $0 of vendor rationalization costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These costs are included in "Restructuring and other related charges" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The table below sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of the restructuring charge liability for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
| (In thousands) | Employee Costs | Real Estate Rationalization | Total |
