Reworded paragraphs (18)

Previous wording

Annual Revenue Per User (ARPU) -We calculate the annualized average recurring revenues per recurring revenue customer, which we refer to as “ARPU” and was previously referred to as “wallet share”, by dividing the annualized recurring revenues for the period by the average of the beginning and ending number of recurring revenue customers for the period.

Current wording

Annual Revenue Per User ("ARPU") -We calculate the annualized average recurring revenues per recurring revenue customer, which was previously referred to as “wallet share”, by dividing the annualized recurring revenues for the period by the average of the beginning and ending number of recurring revenue customers for the period.

Previous wording

Revenues - Revenues increased for the 97th consecutive quarter. The increase in revenue period-over-period resulted from an increase in average recurring revenues per recurring revenue customer, which we also refer to as “ARPU” and was previously referred to as “wallet share”, and from an increase in recurring revenue customers that was driven primarily by business acquisitions and continued business growth.

Current wording

Revenues - Revenues increased for the 98th consecutive quarter. The increase in revenue period-over-period resulted from an increase in ARPU and from an increase in recurring revenue customers that was driven primarily by business acquisitions and continued business growth.

Previous wording

•ARPU increased 11% to approximately $13,850 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was primarily attributable to increased usage of our products by our recurring revenue customers, partially offset by the addition of 3P recurring revenue customers.

Current wording

•ARPU increased 3% to approximately $13,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily attributable to increased usage of our products by our recurring revenue customers, partially offset by the addition of 3P recurring revenue customers.

Previous wording

•The number of recurring revenue customers increased 21% to approximately 54,150 at March 31, 2025. Of the total recurring revenue customers, approximately 45,950 are 1P recurring revenue customers and the remainder are 3P recurring revenue customers. The increase in recurring revenue customers is primarily due to recent acquisitions of 3P recurring revenue customers, which have an inconsequential impact on recurring revenue. New recurring revenue customers do not have a meaningful contribution to revenue at the beginning of their tenure as our recurring revenue customer, and therefore a majority of the increased revenue was generated from existing recurring revenue customers.

Current wording

•The number of recurring revenue customers increased 21% to approximately 54,500 at June 30, 2025. Of the total recurring revenue customers, approximately 46,300 are 1P recurring revenue customers and the remainder are 3P recurring revenue customers.

Additionally, approximately 8,500 recurring revenue customers were added in February 2025 due to the acquisition of the existing customer base of Carbon6, of which approximately 300 are 1P recurring revenue customers and the remainder are 3P recurring revenue customers.

Net income per share, the comparable GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common and diluted stock outstanding during each period. To quantify the tax effects, we recalculated income tax expense excluding the direct book and tax effects of the specific items constituting the non-GAAP adjustments.
