Current report
Geopolitical instability, including the risk of military conflict involving Iran and broader escalation in the Middle East, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
Escalation of hostilities involving Iran could disrupt global markets, increase energy and operating costs, trigger cyber threats, and create volatility in customer spending and enterprise technology budgets. Broader sanctions, trade restrictions, supply chain disruptions, or instability affecting customers, partners, vendors, and cloud infrastructure providers could delay purchasing decisions, reduce demand for our solutions, impair collections, and disrupt business operations. Any prolonged geopolitical instability or related economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Previous wording
Revenue from EMEA sales was 20% of our total revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 23% during the three months ended December 31, 2024. Revenue from EMEA sales was 20% of our total revenue during the six months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 24% during the six months ended December 31, 2024. In addition to those discussed elsewhere in this section, our EMEA sales operations are subject to a number of specific risks, such as:
Current wording
Revenue from EMEA sales remained consistent at 22% of our total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Revenue from EMEA sales was 20% of our total revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 23% during the nine months ended March 31, 2025. In addition to those discussed elsewhere in this section, our EMEA sales operations are subject to a number of specific risks, such as:
Previous wording
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 44% of our workforce was employed in India. Of our employees in India, 61% are allocated to research and development. Although the movement of certain operations internationally was principally motivated by cost cutting, the continued management of these remote operations requires significant management attention and financial resources that could adversely affect our operating performance. In addition, with the significant increase in the numbers of foreign businesses that have established operations in India, the competition to attract and retain employees there has increased significantly. As a result of the increased competition for skilled workers, we experienced increased compensation costs and expect these costs to increase in the future. Our reliance on our workforce in India makes us particularly susceptible to disruptions in the business environment in that region. In particular, sophisticated telecommunications links, high-speed data communications with other eGain offices and customers, and overall consistency and stability of our business infrastructure are vital to our day-to-day operations, and any impairment of such infrastructure will cause our financial condition and results to suffer. In addition, the maintenance of stable political relations between the U.S., the European Union (EU) and India are also of great importance to our operations. Recent developments, such as the U.S. administration's imposition of a 50% tariff on Indian goods effective August 27, 2025, have introduced significant uncertainties. This tariff escalation has strained U.S.-India relations.

Internationally, global “digital” regulations continue to develop and evolve, including the EU’s GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, Network and Information Systems 2 Directive, Digital Operational Resilience Act, Data Act, and Digital Services Act. In addition, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Bill (DPDP), published in 2023, but with an implementation timeline that remains uncertain, applies broadly to personal data processed within India and personal data outside the territory of India if such processing is in connection with any activity related to offering of goods or services to data subjects. We will continue to monitor developments related to existing and new “digital” laws which will require us to incur additional costs and expenses in an effort to monitor and comply with such laws. In addition to costs involved in monitoring and analyzing such laws to determine to what extent they apply, and costs involved in any compliance measures, there are also financial risks in the event of enforcement action, with many imposing obligations and penalties for noncompliance. Further, to the extent that any new laws may limit our ability to provide our solutions to customers.

outsourced services. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, industry-specific laws, regulations and interpretive positions may limit customers’ use and adoption of our services and reduce overall demand for our services. For example, some financial services regulators have imposed guidelines for use of cloud computing services that mandate specific controls or require financial services enterprises to obtain regulatory approval prior to outsourcing certain functions. If we are unable to comply with these guidelines or controls, or if our customers are unable to obtain regulatory approval to use our service where required, our business may be harmed. Our business may also be affected by evolving regulatory frameworks, including those focused on AI, cybersecurity, outsourcing, and data governance, such as the AI Act, Digital Services Act, Network and Information Systems 2 Directive, and Digital Operational Resilience Act in the EU, as well as U.S. and international initiatives incorporating the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. We may be faced with questions and additional requirements from customers, and compliance may require us to implement additional controls, transparency measures, or monitoring obligations. In addition, an inability to satisfy the standards of certain voluntary third-party certification bodies that our customers may expect, such as an attestation of compliance with the PCI Data Security Standards, HIPAA, FEDRAMP or similar frameworks, may adversely affect our ability to provide services to certain customers. If we are unable to achieve or maintain these industry-specific certifications or other requirements or standards relevant to our customers, it could adversely affect our ability to provide our services to certain customers and harm our business.
