Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of SPS Commerce, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
This interim financial information has been prepared under the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We have included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to provide a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue by Geographic Area
Domestic revenue, which we define as revenue that was attributable to customers based within the United States ("U.S."), was as follows:
| Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Domestic revenue | 84% | 83% | 84% | 83% |
No single jurisdiction outside of the U.S. had revenues in excess of 10%.
Recurring Revenues
We define recurring revenue as active contracts during the reporting period to regularly pay us fees for subscription-based and reoccurring services. All components of the contracts that are not expected to recur (primarily set ups and professional services) are excluded from recurring revenue.
Revenue for subscription-based services is recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Our contracts primarily range from monthly to annual and generally allow the customer to cancel the contract for any reason with 30 to 90 days’ notice. Timing of billings varies by customer and by contract type and are either in advance or within 30 days of the service being performed.
Given that the recurring revenue contracts are generally forone year or less, we have applied the optional exemption to not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for recurring revenue contracts.
One-time Revenues
One-time revenues consist of set-up fees and miscellaneous fees from customers.
Set-up revenues
Set-up fees, a component of our revenue, are specific for each connection a customer has with a trading partner. These nonrefundable fees are necessary for our customers to utilize our services and do not provide any standalone value. Many of our customers have connections with numerous trading partners.
Set-up fees constitute a material renewal option right that provide customers a significant future incentive that would not be otherwise available to that customer unless they entered into the contract, as the set-up fees will not be incurred again upon contract renewal. As such, set-up fees and related costs are deferred and recognized ratably, generally overtwo years, which is the estimated period for which a material right is present for our customers.
The table below presents the activity of the portion of the deferred revenue liability relating to set-up fees. We expect to recognize $11.1 million of the balance as of September 30, 2025 as revenue over the next 12 months with the remaining amount recognized thereafter.

| Balance, end of period | $14,472 | $17,707 | $14,472 | $17,707 |
Miscellaneous one-time revenues
Miscellaneous one-time fees primarily consist of professional services and testing and certification.
The contract period for these one-time fees is forone year or less and recognized at the time service is provided. We have applied the optional exemption to not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for miscellaneous one-time fee contracts since they have original durations of one year or less.

Performance Share Units, Restricted Stock Units and Awards, and Deferred Stock Units
In each of the quarters ended March 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, we granted PSU awards with a target performance level. These awards are earned based upon our Company’s total shareholder return as compared to an indexed total shareholder return over the course of a fiscal based three-year performance period, starting in the year of grant. Earned awards vest in the quarter following the conclusion of the performance period. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, PSU awards granted in 2022 vested at the maximum performance level and 0.1 million shares of common stock were issued.
Activity for our PSUs, RSUs, RSAs, and DSUs in aggregate was as follows:

NOTE L –Income Taxes
We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pre-tax income and adjust the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Our provisions for income taxes includes current federal, state, and foreign income tax expense, as well as deferred tax expense.
Differences between our effective tax rate and statutory tax rates are primarily due to the impact of permanently non-deductible expenses partially offset by the federal research and development credits and tax benefits associated with foreign-derived intangible income. Additionally, excess tax benefits generated upon settlement or exercise of stock awards are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense as a discrete tax item in the quarter that the event occurs, creating potentially significant fluctuation in tax expense by quarter and by year.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law in the U.S., making permanent most of the expiring key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, but not limited to, U.S. corporate international tax provisions, federal bonus depreciation and deductions for domestic research and development expenditures. We evaluated the OBBBA and estimated the 2025 impact to be primarily a reduction in cash taxes due to the accelerated deduction of previously capitalized research and experimental expenditures. In addition, we expect the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) deduction will be adversely affected. The remaining provisions of the OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact.
