Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
- Basis of Presentation
Commvault Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Commvault," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") aims to provide its customers cyber resiliency by protecting and recovering their data and cloud-native applications in a world of increasing cyber threats and attacks, including ransomware. We provide products and services across many types of environments, including on-premise, hybrid and multi-cloud. Our offerings are delivered via self-managed software, software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), integrated appliances, or managed by partners. Customers use our Commvault Cloud platform to help protect themselves from threats like ransomware and recover their data efficiently.
The consolidated financial statements of Commvault as of December 31, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The results reported in these financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, income taxes and related reserves, deferred commissions, goodwill, and purchased intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassification of Prior Year Balances
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Beginning in fiscal 2026, the subscription revenues and cost of revenues line items on the consolidated statements of operations have been further disaggregated to disclose the software portion of term-based licenses and SaaS. These reclassifications have no impact on the amount of total revenues or net income.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
| Standard | Description | Effective Date | Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements (or Other Significant Matters) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025-05 (Topic 326): Financial Instrument - Credit Losses | In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new standard to simplify the estimation of credit losses. The standard provides a practical expedient for measuring expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. | We early adopted this standard as of April 1, 2025 and elected to apply the related practical expedient. | This standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, or disclosures. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
| Standard | Description | Effective Date | Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements (or Other Significant Matters) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASU No. 2023-09 (Topic 740): Income Taxes | In December 2023, the FASB issued a new standard to improve income tax disclosures. The standard requires greater disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. | This standard will be effective for us for our annual period beginning April 1, 2025. | This standard will result in additional annual tax disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. |
| ASU No. 2024-03 (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses | In November 2024, the FASB issued a new standard to improve income statement expense disclosures. The standard requires greater disaggregated information on certain expense captions, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. | This standard will be effective for us for our annual period beginning April 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning April 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. | We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
| ASU No. 2025-06 (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software | In September 2025, the FASB issued a new standard to modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. | This standard will be effective for us for our interim period beginning April 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. | We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
| ASU No. 2025-12: Codification Improvements | In December 2025, the FASB issued a new standard to address suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the ASC and to make other incremental improvements to GAAP. The update represents changes to the ASC that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. | This standard will be effective for us for our interim period beginning April 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. | We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
Concentration of Credit Risk
We grant credit to customers in a wide variety of industries worldwide and generally do not require collateral. Credit losses relating to these customers have historically been minimal.
We rely significantly on our value-added resellers, systems integrators and corporate resellers, which we collectively refer to as resellers, for the marketing and distribution of our products and services. Further, we have non-exclusive distribution agreements with certain partners who enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our solutions by managing our resellers and leveraging their own industry experience.
Partner A accounted for approximately 32% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 35% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024. In addition, Partner A represented approximately 25% and 29% of our total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Partner B accounted for approximately 10% and 11% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Total revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 for Partner B were less than 10%. Total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 for Partner B were less than 10%.
In September 2025, we issued $900,000 aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”), which we account for as a liability in their entirety, measured at amortized cost. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Notes are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the outstanding Notes. These costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Notes and are included within interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for such asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, we use the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:
Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts of our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. We held an investment in equity securities of $6,076 as of December 31, 2025, which was valued using the measurement alternative as permitted under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. This investment is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
There wereno financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025. The following table summarizes the composition of our financial liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2025:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contingent consideration | $— | $— | $873 | $873 |
Based on the actual achievement of certain financial metrics as of June 30, 2025, the contingent consideration arrangement related to the acquisition of Appranix, Inc. resulted in final aggregate consideration of $1,855, of which $1,527 was paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and $328 was paid during the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The liability, with a fair value of $873 as of March 31, 2025 and classified as a Level 3 investment, was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a $545 reduction in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. As the contingent consideration arrangement has been fully settled, no liability remains on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025.
Financial Instruments for Which Fair Value Is Only Disclosed
We report our financial instruments at fair value with the exception of the Notes. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Notes was $794,412. The fair value was determined based on the quoted price of the Notes in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and are considered a Level 2 measurement. Refer to Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
Equity Securities Accounted for at Net Asset Value
We held equity interests in private equity funds of $10,126 as of December 31, 2025, which are accounted for under the net asset value practical expedient as permitted under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. These investments are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The net asset values of these investments are determined using quarterly capital statements from the funds, which are based on our contributions to the funds, allocation of profit and loss and changes in fair value of the underlying fund investments. Changes in fair value as reported on the capital statements are recorded through the consolidated statements of operations as non-operating income or expense. These private equity funds focus on making investments in key technology sectors, principally by investing in companies at expansion capital and growth equity stages. We had total unfunded commitments in private equity funds of $787 as of December 31, 2025.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The carrying value of goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis on January 1, or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its carrying amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, we have a single reporting unit. We have elected to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further analysis is required; otherwise, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.
Our finite-lived purchased intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer relationships acquired through business acquisitions. Developed technology is generally valued using income-based approaches, such as the relief from royalty or multi-period excess earnings methods, and typically has an economic life offive years. Customer relationships are valued using similar income-based methods and have an economic life often years. All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives, as we believe this method most closely reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets will be consumed. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is both not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.
Deferred Commissions Cost
Sales commissions, bonuses, and related payroll taxes earned by our employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Our typical contracts include performance obligations related to term-based software licenses, SaaS offerings, perpetual software licenses, software updates, and customer support. In these contracts, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices and then recognized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. We do not pay commissions on annual renewals of customer support contracts for perpetual licenses. The costs allocated to software and products are expensed at the time of sale, when revenue for the functional software license is recognized. The costs allocated to software updates and customer support for perpetual licenses are amortized ratably over a period of approximately five years, the expected period of benefit of the asset capitalized. We currently estimate a period offive years is appropriate based on consideration of historical average customer life and the estimated useful life of the underlying software sold as part of the transaction. The commission paid on the renewal of subscription arrangements is not commensurate with the commission paid on the initial purchase. As a result, the cost of commissions allocated to SaaS offerings, software updates and customer support on the initial term-based software license transactions are amortized over a period of approximately five years, consistent with the accounting for these costs associated with perpetual licenses. The costs of commissions allocated to SaaS offerings, software updates and customer support for the renewal of term-based software licenses is limited to the contractual period of the arrangement, as we pay a commensurate renewal commission upon the next renewal of the subscription software license and related updates and support.
The incremental costs attributable to professional services are generally amortized over the period the related services are provided and revenue is recognized. Amortization expense related to these costs is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Restructuring
Restructuring charges may consist of voluntary or involuntary severance and associated costs from headcount reductions, stock-based compensation resulting from modifications to existing awards granted to certain employees impacted by the plan, technology transitions, and office termination and exit charges. Costs for one time termination benefits are recognized at the date when employees are notified, unless the employee is required to render services beyond a minimum retention period, in which case the benefits are expressed ratably over the service period. We recognize voluntary termination benefits when an employee accepts the offered benefit arrangement.
- Revenue
We generate revenues through subscription arrangements, which includes both term-based software licenses and SaaS, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services.
Term-based License
Term-based license revenue typically includes revenue from the license portion of time-based subscription arrangements which are deployed on-premise. The revenue from these licenses is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download.
Software-as-a-service ("SaaS")
SaaS revenue typically includes revenue from time-based subscription arrangements which are delivered via hosted cloud solutions. SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, typicallyone tothree years, beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer.
Perpetual License
Perpetual license includes the revenues from the sale of perpetual software licenses. Perpetual software license revenue is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download.
Customer Support
Customer support includes revenues associated with support contracts tied to our software products. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and other premium support offerings, for both term-based software license and perpetual software license arrangements. We sell our customer support contracts as a percentage of net software purchases. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typicallyone year on our perpetual licenses and over the term on our term-based licenses, which typically range fromone tothree years.
Other Services
Other services consist primarily of revenues related to professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, installation services, and customer education. Revenues related to other services can vary period over period based on the timing services are delivered and are typically recognized as the services are performed.
We do not customize our software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) and installation services are not required. Software licenses are delivered before related services are provided and are functional without professional services, updates, or technical support. We have concluded that our software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) are functional intellectual property that is distinct, as the user can benefit from the software on its own. Revenues for both term-based and perpetual licenses are typically recognized when the software is delivered and/or made available for download as this is the point the user of the software can direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the functional intellectual property. We do not recognize software revenue related to the renewal of term-based software licenses earlier than the beginning of the new subscription period.
We also offer software that integrates with appliances and address a wide range of business needs and use cases, ranging from support for remote or branch offices with limited IT staff up to large corporate data centers. These appliances are almost exclusively sold via a software only model in which we sell software to a third party, which assembles an integrated appliance that is sold to end user customers. As a result, the revenues and costs associated with hardware are usually not included in our financial statements.
Our typical performance obligations include the following:
| Performance Obligation | When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied | When Payment is Typically Due | How Standalone Selling Price is Typically Estimated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subscription | |||
| Term-based software licenses | Upon shipment or made available for download (point in time) | Within 90 days of shipment except for certain subscription licenses which are paid for over time | Residual approach |
| Software-as-a-service (SaaS) | Ratably over the course of the contract (over time) | Annually or at the beginning of the contract period | Observable in transactions without multiple performance obligations |
| Perpetual License | |||
| Perpetual software licenses | Upon shipment or made available for download (point in time) | Within 90 days of shipment | Residual approach |
| Customer Support | |||
| Software updates | Ratably over the course of the support contract (over time) | At the beginning of the contract period | Observable in renewal transactions |
| Customer support | Ratably over the course of the support contract (over time) | At the beginning of the contract period | Observable in renewal transactions |
| Other Services | |||
| Other professional services | As work is performed (over time) | Within 90 days of services being performed | Observable in transactions without multiple performance obligations |
Judgments Related to Revenue Recognition
Most of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we evaluate and account for individual performance obligations separately if they are determined to be distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices for SaaS, customer support contracts, and other services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. We recognize revenue net of sales tax.
Disaggregation of Revenues
We disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers into geographical regions. Our Americas region includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Our International region primarily includes Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia, India, Southeast Asia, and China.
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Nine Months Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Americas | $178,852 | $155,435 | $517,905 | $438,568 |
| International | 134,980 | 107,195 | 354,093 | 282,012 |
| Total revenues | $313,832 | $262,630 | $871,998 | $720,580 |
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent expected future revenue from existing contracts where performance obligations are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include unfulfilled contracts at the end of a given period and can include subscription arrangements (term-based licenses and SaaS), customer support and other services. As of December 31, 2025, our remaining performance obligations (inclusive of deferred revenue) were $968,971, of which approximately 60% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder recognized thereafter.
Remaining performance obligations, excluding deferred revenue, related to subscription arrangements, customer support revenue and other services were $128,273, $73,643, and $33,854, respectively. Of these balances, we expect approximately 52% of subscription arrangements,34% of customer support and 100% of other services to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder recognized thereafter. We expect approximately 24% of subscription arrangements and 9% of customer support remaining performance obligations to be recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. These balances represent transactions consisting primarily of early renewals, unbilled and undelivered support and other services, and orders received prior to the last day of the quarter that were not delivered or provisioned to customers.
Remaining performance obligations will fluctuate period to period. We do not believe the amount of remaining performance obligations is indicative of future sales or revenue or that the mix at the end of any given period correlates with actual sales performance.
Information About Contract Balances
Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are accounted for as deferred revenue. Nearly all of our deferred revenue balance is related to SaaS, customer support, and other services.
In some arrangements we allow customers to pay for term-based licenses over the term of the software license. When a term-based license arrangement contains payment terms that extend beyond one year, a significant financing component may exist. The significant financing component is calculated as the difference between the stated value and present value of the license and is recognized as interest income over the extended payment period. The total license fee net of the significant financing component is recognized as revenue at the point in time when the software is transferred to the customer. Interest income from significant financing components was not material for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of amounts billed are recorded as unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables which are anticipated to be invoiced in the next 12 months are included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Long-term unbilled receivables are included in other assets. The opening and closing balances of our accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues are as follows:
| Accounts receivable | Unbilled receivable(current) | Unbilled receivable(long-term) | Deferred revenue(current) | Deferred revenue(long-term) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Opening balance as of March 31, 2025 | $222,400 | $29,595 | $31,343 | $402,930 | $223,282 |
| Increase | 94,102 | 15,749 | 9,711 | 53,802 | 52,867 |
| Ending balance as of December 31, 2025 | $316,502 | $45,344 | $41,054 | $456,732 | $276,149 |
The increase in accounts receivable (inclusive of unbilled receivables) is primarily the result of an increase in revenue relative to the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year and the timing of our billings and cash collections. The increase in deferred revenue is primarily the result of an increase in SaaS contracts which are billed upfront but recognized ratably over the contract period and an increase in deferred customer support revenue.
The amount of revenue recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $98,770 and $362,799 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. The majority of this revenue consists of SaaS and customer support. The amount of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not significant.
- Business Combination
On August 28, 2025, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Satori Cyber, Ltd. ("Satori"), an Israel-baseddata and AI security company, for a preliminary purchase price of $28,257 in cash consideration. The primary reason for the acquisition was to extend and enhance our product portfolio with data security and AI governance solutions.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $12 and $1,269, respectively, which were included in general and administrative expenses. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation:
| Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | |
|---|---|
| Cash | $2,242 |
| Trade accounts receivable | 267 |
| Other current assets and Other assets | 272 |
| Operating lease assets | 381 |
| Deferred tax assets, net | 1,055 |
| Developed technology | 3,700 |
| Accounts payable and Accrued liabilities | (671) |
| Operating lease liabilities | (381) |
| Long-term tax reserves | (2,929) |
| Deferred revenue | (1,264) |
| Total identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed | 2,672 |
| Goodwill | 25,585 |
| Total purchase price | $28,257 |
The purchase price allocation is preliminary as it relates to customary closing adjustments and the valuation of income taxes. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the acquisition date.
The pro forma financial information of the above business acquisition, assuming the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year of the acquisition, as well as revenue and earnings generated during the current fiscal year, were not material for disclosure purposes.
- Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the residual purchase price paid in business combinations after the fair value of all identified assets and liabilities have been recorded. It includes the estimated value of the integration of acquired technology into current product offerings, the potential expansion with new customers, the opportunity to further develop sales relationships with new customers and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill is not amortized and there wereno impairments to the carrying amounts of goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Approximately $35,033 of the goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Changes in goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 were as follows:
| Total | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of March 31, 2025 | $185,255 |
| Additions | 25,585 |
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $210,840 |
Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer relationships. Developed technology acquired in fiscal 2026 and 2025 has an estimated useful life offive years. Previously acquired developed technology had an estimated useful life ofthree years, and was fully amortized as of the end of fiscal 2025. Customer relationships acquired in fiscal 2025 have an estimated useful life often years. All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. Purchased intangible assets, net of amortization are summarized below:
| December 31, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross Carrying Amount | Accumulated Amortization | Net Carrying Value | Gross Carrying Amount | Accumulated Amortization | Net Carrying Value | |
| Customer relationships | $3,800 | $(475) | $3,325 | $3,800 | $(190) | $3,610 |
| Developed technology | 27,050 | (9,404) | 17,646 | 23,350 | (6,223) | 17,127 |
| Total intangible assets | $30,850 | $(9,879) | $20,971 | $27,150 | $(6,413) | $20,737 |
During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we acquired developed technology valued at $3,700 as part of the acquisition of Satori. Amortization expense from acquired intangible assets was $1,255 and $3,466 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $1,383 and $2,529 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, future amortization expense associated with intangible assets with finite lives is expected to be:
| Year ending March 31, | |
|---|---|
| 2026 (remaining) | $1,256 |
| 2027 | 5,023 |
| 2028 | 5,023 |
| 2029 | 5,023 |
| 2030 | 2,637 |
| Thereafter | 2,009 |
| Total | $20,971 |
- Sale and Leaseback Transaction
On April 28, 2025, we completed the sale of our owned corporate headquarters located in Tinton Falls, New Jersey for cash consideration of $36,000, excluding transaction costs, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement signed on October 2, 2024. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a leaseback arrangement for a portion of the premises over a term often years, expiring April 30, 2035. The transaction met the criteria for a sale under ASC 842, Leases and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customersand the leaseback was determined to be an operating lease.
In connection with the transaction, the Company determined that the leaseback terms were above market. Accordingly, a financial liability of $1,300 was recognized in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and a corresponding loss was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The Company also derecognized the carrying value of the assets held for sale and recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $19,563, based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate the lease liability was 6.35%.
- Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), common shares to be purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), the exercise of stock options, and, if dilutive, the conversion spread on the Notes. The dilutive effect of RSUs, PSUs, ESPP purchases, and the exercise of stock options is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the Notes is calculated using the if-converted method. See Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further details of the Notes.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Nine Months Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Net income | $17,782 | $11,021 | $56,008 | $45,113 |
| Basic net income per common share: | ||||
| Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 44,111 | 43,889 | 44,281 | 43,779 |

In addition, the Notes were excluded from diluted net income per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
- Commitments and Contingencies
We do not believe that we are currently party to any pending legal action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or operating results.
- Capitalization
On April 17, 2025, our board of directors (the "Board") approved recommitting our existing share repurchase program so that $250,000 was available. The share repurchase program has no expiration date. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased $186,813 of our common stock, or approximately 1,146 shares, of which $117,660, or approximately 658 shares, was made in connection with the Notes. The shares repurchased during the period were funded primarily from the net proceeds received from the issuance of the Notes, as well as from existing cash and cash equivalents balances and cash flows provided by our operations. The remaining amount available under the share repurchase program as of December 31, 2025 was $63,187.
Subsequent Event
On January 14, 2026, the Board approved recommitting our existing share repurchase program so that $250,000 was available. The share repurchase program has no expiration date.
- Stock Plans
The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative and restructuring expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Stock-based compensation is attributable to RSUs, PSUs and the ESPP.
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Nine Months Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cost of revenues | $1,323 | $1,465 | $3,895 | $4,420 |

| Stock-based compensation expense | $29,057 | $31,463 | $91,461 | $84,270 |
As of December 31, 2025, there was $176,697 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.81 years. We account for forfeitures as they occur. To the extent that awards are forfeited, stock-based compensation will be different from our current estimate.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:
| Non-vested Restricted Stock Units | Number ofAwards | Weighted Average GrantDate Fair Value |
|---|---|---|
| Non-vested as of March 31, 2025 | 1,806 | $111.75 |
| Awarded | 937 | 158.99 |
| Vested | (1,031) | 104.09 |
| Forfeited | (148) | 146.51 |
| Non-vested as of December 31, 2025 | 1,564 | $142.19 |
The weighted average fair value of RSUs awarded was $128.72 and $158.99 per unit during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $168.96 and $142.14 per unit during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The weighted average fair value of awards includes the awards with a market condition described below.
Performance Based Awards
In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we granted approximately 78 PSUs to certain executives. Vesting of these awards is contingent upon i) us meeting certain non-GAAP performance goals (performance-based) in fiscal 2026 and ii) our customary service periods. The awards vest over three years and have the potential to vest between 0% and 300% (234 shares) based on actual fiscal 2026 performance. The vesting quantity of these awards may vary based on actual fiscal 2026 performance. The related stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized over the vesting term using the accelerated method. During the interim financial periods, management estimates the probable number of PSUs that would vest until the ultimate achievement of the performance goals is known. The awards are included in the restricted stock units table.
Awards with a Market Condition
In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we granted approximately 78 market PSUs to certain executives. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon us meeting certain total shareholder return ("TSR") levels as compared to the Russell 3000 market index over the succeeding three years from grant date. The awards vest inthree annual tranches and have the potential to vest between 0% and 300% (234 shares) based on TSR performance. The related stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized using the accelerated method over the vesting term. The estimated fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the awards granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was $288.47 per unit. The awards are included in the restricted stock units table.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The ESPP is a shareholder approved plan under which substantially all employees may purchase our common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market values of the stock as of the beginning or the end ofsix-month offering periods. An employee’s payroll deductions under the ESPP are limited to 10% of the employee’s salary and employees may not purchase more than $25 of stock during any calendar year. Employees purchased 45 shares in exchange for $6,974 of proceeds in the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 68 shares in exchange for $5,486 of proceeds in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The ESPP is considered compensatory and the fair value of the discount and look back provision are estimated using the Black-Scholes formula and recognized over thesix-month withholding period prior to purchase. The total expense associated with the ESPP for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $4,003 and $2,746, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $705 of unrecognized cost related to the current offering period of our ESPP.
- Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $9,242 and $12,999 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $4,085 and $7,307 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The change in income tax expense compared to the prior year period relates primarily to current federal taxes driven by an increase in pre-tax income projections.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), enacted on July 4, 2025, includes several corporate tax provisions relevant to U.S. businesses. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenses, extensions of bonus depreciation, and modifications to the international tax regimes. The provisions in the legislation are generally effective beginning in our fiscal 2026. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of these provisions on its financial statements, but an estimate of the financial impact has been included in our operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact to our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025.
- Segment Information
We operate as a single reportable segment as we report financial information, including net income determined in accordance with GAAP, among other measures, on a consolidated basis to our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM uses consolidated net income to make operating decisions, allocate resources, and evaluate financial performance, primarily by monitoring actual results compared to forecasted results, as well as by reviewing year-over-year results and trending historical performance. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of actual versus forecasted results are used in assessing the performance of the segment.
The CODM reviews significant segment expenses for our single reportable segment. Significant segment expenses include cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, and other operating expenses, all of which are presented in our consolidated statements of operations. Other segment items include interest income, interest expense, other income, net, and income tax expense, which are also presented in our consolidated statements of operations.
Revenues by geography are based upon the billing address of the customer. All transfers between geographic regions have been eliminated from consolidated revenues. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Nine Months Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| United States | $154,732 | $135,700 | $462,239 | $383,420 |
| Other | 159,100 | 126,930 | 409,759 | 337,160 |
| Total revenues | $313,832 | $262,630 | $871,998 | $720,580 |
No individual country other than the United States accounted for 10% or more of revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Revenue included in the “Other” caption above primarily relates to our operations in Europe, Australia, Canada and Asia.
- Restructuring
We initiated a restructuring plan in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 ("Plan B") intended to optimize our cost structure, improve organizational agility, and better align resources with strategic priorities. These restructuring activities encompass workforce reductions, office lease closures and exit of operations in certain jurisdictions and are estimated to cost up to $30,000. We anticipate the plan to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, restructuring charges were as follows:
| Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 | Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Employee severance and related costs | $10,085 | $10,085 |
| Stock-based compensation | 1,284 | 1,284 |
| Lease exit costs (1) | 34 | 34 |
| Other costs | 260 | 260 |
| Total restructuring charges | $11,663 | $11,663 |
(1)Lease exit costs relate toone office for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025.
We initiated a restructuring plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 ("Plan A") intended to optimize our Business Technology organization. The objective of this plan is to realign the workforce, invest in emerging capabilities, modernize the technology landscape, and streamline operations to operate with greater agility and customer focus. We anticipate the workforce realignment and identification of planned technology changes will be completed in fiscal 2026, and the remaining activities under the restructuring plan, including the technology transitions, are expected to be completed in fiscal 2027. The majority of the workforce realignment costs were incurred in the first half of fiscal 2026. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, restructuring charges were as follows:
| Three Months Ended December 31, 2025 | Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Employee severance and related costs | $170 | $1,350 |
| Stock-based compensation | 52 | 538 |
| Total restructuring charges | $222 | $1,888 |
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, we initiated a restructuring plan (the "2024 Plan") which was completed in fiscal 2025. There were no charges incurred in fiscal 2026 related to this plan. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, restructuring charges were $3,969 and $9,214, respectively.
Restructuring accrual
The accrual activity related to our restructuring plans for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:
| Plan A | Plan B | 2024 Plan | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balance as of March 31, 2025 | $— | $— | $790 | $790 |
| Employee severance and related costs | 1,350 | 10,085 | — | 11,435 |
| Payments | (1,159) | (2,829) | (767) | (4,755) |
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $191 | $7,256 | $23 | $7,470 |
- Debt
On September 5, 2025, we issued $900,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of the Notes of their option to purchase an additional $115,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated September 5, 2025 (the “Indenture”), between Commvault and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and do not bear regular interest; however, special interest and additional interest, if any, may accrue on the Notes at a combined rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Indenture. The Notes mature on September 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial debt issuance costs, was $878,447.
Noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes before March 15, 2030 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2025, if the Last Reported Sale Price (as defined in the Indenture) per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price (as described below) for each of at least 20 Trading Days (as defined in the Indenture) (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during thefive consecutive business days immediately after anyten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of the common stock on such Trading Day and the conversion rate (as described below) on each Trading Day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on the common stock as set forth in the Indenture; or (4) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption.
On or after March 15, 2030, until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture) immediately before the maturity date, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 4.2215 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $236.88 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon certain events. Upon conversion, consideration due will consist of cash, up to the principal amount of the Notes to be converted, and, for any conversion value in excess of principal, cash or shares of our common stock, at our election.
We may not redeem the Notes at our option at any time before September 22, 2028. We will have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on or after September 22, 2028 and before the 41 st Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if (i) the Notes are Freely Tradable (as defined in the Indenture); and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price per share of our common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 Trading Days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (2) the Trading Day immediately before the date we send such notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. Pursuant to the partial redemption limitation, we may not elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $100,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice.
The net carrying amount of the Notes was as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Principal amount | $900,000 |
| Unamortized debt issuance costs | (20,173) |
| Net carrying amount | $879,827 |
Amortization of debt issuance costs incurred related to the Notes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 was $1,075 and $1,381, respectively. The debt issuance costs are being amortized into interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the Notes at an effective interest rate of 0.48%.
Capped Calls
In connection with the pricing of the Notes and the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional Notes, we entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Calls") with certain affiliates of certain initial purchasers of the Notes and other financial institutions.
The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of $236.88 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes. The Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $357.56 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are treated as separate transactions from, and not part of, the terms of the Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders' equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The Capped Calls will not be remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification. The Notes and the Capped Calls have been integrated for tax purposes resulting in a deferred tax asset of $23,543. The impact of this tax treatment results in the Capped Calls being deductible with the cost of the Capped Calls qualifying as original issue discount for tax purposes over the term of the Notes.
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 15, 2025, we refinanced our existing $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility, replacing it with a newfive-year $300,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility is available for share repurchases, general corporate purposes, and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default which would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare all loans then outstanding to be immediately due and payable if such default is not cured within applicable grace periods. The Credit Facility also limits our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, make acquisitions or investments, make loans or advances, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends or distributions, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate determined by the Company’s election of either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, or a base rate, which is generally the greater of a prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.00%. The applicable margin in each case is contingent upon the Company’s leverage ratio. Additionally, the unused balance on the Credit Facility is subject to an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum based on the Company's leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2025, there wereno borrowings under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants.
We have deferred the expense related to debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility, which are classified as other assets, and will amortize the costs into interest expense over the term of the Credit Facility. Unamortized amounts as of December 31, 2025 were $1,754. The amortization of debt issuance costs and interest expense related to the Credit Facility incurred for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Nine Months Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Amortization of debt issuance costs | $103 | $29 | $290 | $87 |
| Interest expense | 241 | 63 | 601 | 190 |
| Total charges | $344 | $92 | $891 | $277 |
