  1. 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.

In addition, amortization of debt issuance costs, which was previously included within depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, is now presented separately. This reclassification has no impact on the amount of cash flows from operating activities.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Commvault. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, 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, purchased intangible assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue

We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize revenue net of sales taxes. For a further discussion of our accounting policies related to revenue, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the grant date fair value of stock-based awards, including restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), and shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). RSUs and PSUs without a market condition are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the date of grant. PSUs with a market condition are measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of awards, a risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. ESPP awards are measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which also incorporates assumptions including stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. We recognize stock-based compensation expense using the straight-line method for all stock awards that do not include a market or performance condition. Awards that include a market or performance condition are expensed using the accelerated method. We account for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

Software Development Costs

The costs for the development of new products and substantial enhancements to existing products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized in accordance with the accounting guidance for software. Because our current process for developing software is essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility, which occurs upon the completion of a working model, no costs have been capitalized for any of the periods presented.

Advertising Costs

We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were $10,894, $10,841 and $8,514 for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes and effective tax rates are calculated by legal entity and jurisdiction and are based on a number of factors, including the level of pre-tax earnings, income tax planning strategies, differences between tax laws and accounting rules, statutory tax rates and credits, uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances. We provide for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") earned by certain foreign subsidiaries in the year the tax is incurred and record an estimate of GILTI as a component of the tax provision. We use significant judgment and estimates in evaluating tax positions. The effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be materially impacted by changes in the mix and level of earnings by taxing jurisdiction.

Under ASC 740, deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are established when, in our judgment, it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we weigh the available positive and negative evidence, including historical levels of pre-tax income or loss, both on a consolidated basis and tax reporting entity basis, legislative developments, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future pre-tax income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currencies of our foreign operations are deemed to be the local country’s currency. Assets and liabilities of our international subsidiaries are translated at their respective period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average currency exchange rates for the period. The resulting balance sheet translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income and are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These gains and losses relate primarily to receivables and payables that are not denominated in the functional currency of the subsidiary they relate to. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of $2,104, $1,495 and $2,388 in the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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.

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 RSUs, PSUs, common shares to be purchased under the 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 17 of the Notes to 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:

Year Ended March 31,
202620252024
Net income$70,657$76,106$168,906
Basic net income per common share:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding43,97643,85043,885
Basic net income per common share$1.61$1.74$3.85
Diluted net income per common share:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding43,97643,85043,885
Dilutive effect of potential common shares6781,3371,215
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding44,65445,18745,100
Diluted net income per common share$1.58$1.68$3.75

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes RSUs, PSUs, and common shares to be purchased under the ESPP for all periods presented and excludes outstanding stock options for the year ended March 31, 2024. The excluded amounts totaled 349,221 and 271 for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, because the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the Notes were excluded from diluted net income per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables are primarily comprised of trade receivables that are recorded at the invoice amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is not material. Unbilled receivables represent amounts for which revenue has been recognized but which have not yet been invoiced to the customer. The current portion of unbilled receivables is included in trade accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Long-term unbilled receivables are included in other assets. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $388 as of March 31, 2026 and $166 as of March 31, 2025. For the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, bad debt expense was not significant.

Historically, we have not experienced material losses related to the inability to collect receivables from our customers. There is presently no indication that we will not collect material amounts of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026. The inability to collect receivables could have a material impact on our results of operations.

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%,35% and 36% of our total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, Partner A accounted for approximately 29% of our total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Partner B accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues for the year ended March 31, 2026. Total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 for Partner B were each less than 10%.

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 March 31, 2026, which is included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Subsequently, on April 7, 2026, we increased this investment to approximately $13,500.

There wereno financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026. The following table summarizes the composition of our financial liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2025:

Level 1Level 2Level 3Total
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 March 31, 2026.

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 March 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $726,966. The fair value was determined based on the quoted mid-market trading price per $1,000 of face value of the Notes as of the last trading day of the period. The Company considers the fair value of the Notes to be a Level 2 measurement because the valuation is based on observable market data, including broker quoted prices; however, the Notes are not actively traded. Refer to Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Equity Securities Accounted for at Net Asset Value

We held equity interests in private equity funds of $9,821 as of March 31, 2026, 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 have total unfunded commitments in private equity funds of $619 as of March 31, 2026.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. We generally lease our facilities under operating leases. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets are included in operating lease assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current portion of operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at the commencement date.

We recognize operating lease costs over the estimated term of the lease, which includes options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised, starting when possession of the property is taken from the landlord. When a lease contains a predetermined fixed escalation of the minimum rent, we recognize the related operating lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, certain of our lease agreements include variable lease payments, such as estimated tax and maintenance charges. These variable lease payments are excluded from minimum lease payments and are included in the determination of lease cost when it is probable that the expense has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all our leases.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computers, servers, and related equipment are generally depreciated over eighteen months tothree years and furniture and fixtures are generally depreciated over three totwelve years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related lease. Purchased software is generally amortized over three years. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Major replacements, improvements and additions are capitalized.

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.

Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine the recoverability of our long-lived assets, we evaluate the estimated future undiscounted cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows demonstrate that recoverability is not probable, an impairment loss would be recognized. An impairment loss would be calculated based on the excess carrying amount of the long-lived asset over the long-lived asset’s fair value. The fair value would be determined based on valuation techniques such as a comparison to fair values of similar assets.

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. These costs are allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices and recognized on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. Costs allocated to software licenses are expensed at the time of sale, while costs allocated to initial SaaS and customer support purchases are generally amortized over a period of approximately five years, which represents 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. Costs associated with renewals are amortized over the contractual term of the renewal when renewal commissions are commensurate with initial commissions. 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.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents amounts collected from, or invoiced to, customers in excess of revenue recognized. This results primarily from the upfront billing of multi-year customer support agreements, the upfront billing of SaaS arrangements and billings for other services that have not yet been performed by us. The value of deferred revenue will increase or decrease based on the timing of invoices and recognition of revenue.

Share Repurchases

We consider all shares repurchased as canceled shares restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares on the trade date. The aggregate purchase price of the shares of our common stock repurchased is reflected as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. We account for shares repurchased as an adjustment to common stock (at par value) with the excess repurchase price allocated between additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity, except those resulting from investments by stockholders and distribution to stockholders.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

StandardDescriptionEffective DateEffect on the Consolidated Financial Statements (or Other Significant Matters)
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 (Topic 740): Income TaxesIn December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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.We adopted this standard as of April 1, 2025.This standard resulted in additional annual tax disclosures. This standard did not have a significant impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
ASU No. 2025-05 (Topic 326): Financial Instrument - Credit LossesIn July 2025, the 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 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.

ASU No. 2024-03 (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement ExpensesIn 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.
  1. 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 generally includes revenue from subscription-based arrangements delivered through hosted cloud solutions. SaaS revenue from time-based arrangements is typically recognized ratably over the contract term, generallyone tothree years, beginning when the service is available for use by the customer. Revenue from usage- or consumption-based arrangements is generally recognized as the services are consumed.

Perpetual License

Perpetual license includes revenue 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 revenue 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 revenue related to professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, installation services, and customer education. Revenue 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 subscription 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 through a software only model in which we sell software to a third party, which assembles an integrated appliance that is sold to end customers. As a result, the revenue and costs associated with hardware are usually not included in our financial statements.

Our typical performance obligations include the following:

Performance ObligationWhen Performance Obligation is Typically SatisfiedWhen Payment is Typically DueHow Standalone Selling Price is Typically Estimated
Subscription
Term-based software licensesUpon shipment or made available for download (point in time)Within 90 days of shipment except for certain subscription licenses which are paid for over timeResidual approach
Software-as-a-service (SaaS)Ratably over the course of the contract (over time) or as services are consumed for consumption-based arrangementsAnnually or at the beginning of the contract periodObservable in transactions without multiple performance obligations
Perpetual License

Customer supportRatably over the course of the support contract (over time)At the beginning of the contract periodObservable in renewal transactions
Other Services
Other professional servicesAs work is performed (over time)Within 90 days of services being performedObservable 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 by geographical region. 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.

Year Ended March 31,
202620252024
Americas$702,882$607,952$498,545
International480,808387,667340,702
Total revenues$1,183,690$995,619$839,247

Customer support revenue can be further disaggregated between support associated with term-based software license arrangements ("Term-based support") and support associated with perpetual software license arrangements ("Perpetual support") as follows:

Year Ended March 31,
202620252024
Term-based support$202,163$169,208$143,728
Perpetual support118,263138,355164,043
Customer support$320,426$307,563$307,771

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 agreements), customer support and other services. As of March 31, 2026, our remaining performance obligations (inclusive of deferred revenue) were $1,041,243, of which approximately 59% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder recognized thereafter.

Remaining performance obligations, excluding deferred revenue, related to subscription arrangements, customer support and other services were $152,395, $78,033 and $30,923, respectively. Of these balances, we expect approximately 49% of subscription arrangements,34% of customer support and 100% of other services to be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder recognized thereafter. We expect approximately 22% of subscription arrangements and 9% of customer support remaining performance obligations to be recognized as revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. 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 years ended March 31, 2026, 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 twelve 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 ReceivableUnbilled 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
Increase61,05417,43413,46682,04370,443
Ending balance as of March 31, 2026$283,454$47,029$44,809$484,973$293,725

The increase in accounts receivable (inclusive of unbilled receivables) is primarily a result of an increase in revenue relative to the prior year period 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 $432,763 for the year ended March 31, 2026. 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.

  1. Business Combinations

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 an initial purchase price of $28,257 in cash consideration. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, customary closing adjustments led to a reduction in the purchase price of $200, resulting in final cash consideration of $28,057. The primary reason for the acquisition was to extend and enhance our product portfolio with data security and AI governance solutions.

During the year ended March 31, 2026, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $1,269, 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

Long-term tax reserves(2,929)
Deferred revenue(1,264)
Total identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed3,990
Goodwill24,067
Total purchase price$28,057

The purchase price allocation is preliminary as it relates to 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 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.

  1. 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 years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 or 2024.

Changes in goodwill during the year ended March 31, 2026 was as follows:

Total
Balance as of March 31, 2025$185,255
Additions (1)24,067
Balance as of March 31, 2026$209,322

(1)None of the goodwill acquired during the year ended March 31, 2026 is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

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 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:

March 31, 2026March 31, 2025
Gross Carrying AmountAccumulated AmortizationNet Carrying ValueGross Carrying AmountAccumulated AmortizationNet Carrying Value
Customer relationships$3,800$(570)$3,230$3,800$(190)$3,610

Total intangible assets$30,850$(11,135)$19,715$27,150$(6,413)$20,737

During the year ended March 31, 2026, we acquired developed technology valued at $3,700 as part of the acquisition of Satori. Amortization expense from acquired intangible assets, included in depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $4,722, $3,705 and $1,250 for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of March 31, 2026, future amortization expense of intangible assets is expected to be:

Year ending March 31,
2027$5,023
20285,023
20295,023
20302,637
2031680
Thereafter1,329
Total$19,715

As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average remaining amortization period of intangibles assets was approximately 4.40 years, with developed technology and customer relationships having weighted average remaining amortization periods of approximately 3.60 years and 8.50 years, respectively.

  1. 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%.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

We, in the normal course of business, enter into various purchase commitments for goods or services. Our outstanding commitments primarily relate to marketing and IT services and also include the remaining purchase commitments for our use of certain cloud services with third-party providers. Total non-cancellable purchase commitments as of March 31, 2026 are as follows:

Year Ended March 31,
20272028202920302031 and beyondTotal
Purchase commitments(1)$79,608$35,945$27,171$4,510$4,673$151,907

(1)The amounts presented exclude commitments under an amended agreement entered into in March 2026 with a third-party provider for the use of certain cloud services through March 2031, which does not have a fixed payment schedule. Under the amended agreement, we committed to purchase $700,000 of services throughout the term of the agreement. As of March 31, 2026, $700,000 remained outstanding.

Royalty Expenses

We have certain software royalty commitments associated with the shipment and licensing of certain products. Royalty expense is generally based on a fixed cost per unit shipped or a fixed fee for unlimited units shipped over a designated period. Royalty expense, included in cost of term-based license and perpetual license revenues, was $9,549, $10,602 and $9,717 for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Warranties and Indemnifications

We typically offer a 90-day limited product warranty for our software. To date, costs related to this product warranty have not been significant.

We provide certain provisions within our software licensing agreements to indemnify our customers from any claim, suit or proceeding arising from alleged or actual intellectual property infringement. These provisions continue in perpetuity, along with our software licensing agreements. We have never incurred a liability relating to one of these indemnification provisions, and management believes that the likelihood of any future payout relating to these provisions is remote. Therefore, we havenot recorded a liability during any period for these indemnification provisions.

Lease Obligations

See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our minimum lease commitments.

Legal Proceedings

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.

  1. Capitalization

Common Stock

We have 41,255 and 44,104 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, outstanding at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

During fiscal 2026, the Board approved recommitments of our existing share repurchase program, each making $250,000 available. The share repurchase program has no expiration date. We repurchased $446,106 of our common stock during fiscal 2026, or approximately 4,173 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. As of March 31, 2026, no funds remained available under the share repurchase program.

Subsequent Event

On April 15, 2026, the Board approved recommitting our existing share repurchase program so that $250,000 was available. The share repurchase program has no expiration date.

Shares Reserved for Issuance

As of March 31, 2026, we have reserved 4,905 shares in connection with our Stock Plans discussed in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

  1. Stock Plans

We maintain the Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2016 Incentive Plan") for granting awards to employees. The 2016 Incentive Plan authorizes a broad range of awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards (including restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares or units and other stock-based awards) and cash-based awards. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 3,163 shares were available for future grant under the 2016 Incentive Plan.

As of March 31, 2026, we have granted non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock awards under our stock incentive plans. Historically, most equity awards granted by us under our stock incentive plans generally vest quarterly over athree-year period, except that the shares that would otherwise vest quarterly over the first twelve months do not vest until the first anniversary of the grant. We anticipate that future grants under our stock incentive plans will be restricted stock units and performance stock awards and do not anticipate that we will grant stock options.

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 years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024. Stock-based compensation is attributable to RSUs, PSUs and the ESPP.

Restructuring4,5394,6471,517
Stock-based compensation expense$123,425$113,262$94,551

As of March 31, 2026, there was $172,437 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.13 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.

No stock options were granted during the periods presented andno stock options were outstanding as of March 31, 2025. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $8,089 and $1,378 in the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Restricted stock unit activity was as follows:

The total fair value of the restricted stock units that vested during the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 was $183,927, $214,371 and $118,047, respectively. The fair value of awards includes the awards with a market condition described below.

Performance Based Awards

In fiscal 2026, we granted 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. 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. Based on our results, the PSUs achieved at 111%. The awards are included in the restricted stock unit table.

In fiscal 2025, we granted 91 PSUs to certain executives. Vesting of these awards is contingent upon i) us meeting certain non-GAAP performance goals (performance-based) in fiscal 2025 and ii) our customary service periods. The awards vest over three years. 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. Based on our results, the PSUs achieved at 105%. The awards are included in the restricted stock unit table.

Awards with a Market Condition

In fiscal 2026, we granted 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% to 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 year was $288.47 per unit. The awards are included in the restricted stock unit table above.

In fiscal 2025, we granted 91 market PSUs to certain executives. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon us meeting certain 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 a maximum potential to vest at 300% (273 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 year was $175.25 per unit. The awards are included in the restricted stock unit table above.

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 146 shares in exchange for $14,503 of proceeds in fiscal 2026,119 shares in exchange for $11,922 of proceeds in fiscal 2025, and 188 shares in exchange for $10,578 of proceeds in fiscal 2024. The ESPP is considered compensatory and the fair value of the discount and look back provision are estimated using the Black-Scholes model and recognized over thesix-month withholding period prior to purchase. The total expense associated with the ESPP for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 was $5,523, $3,898 and $3,146, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, there was $2,450 of unrecognized cost related to the current offering period of our ESPP.

Net deferred tax assets arise due to the recognition of income and expense items for tax purposes, which differ from those used for financial statement purposes. ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. At March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded valuation allowances of $25,667 and $23,550, respectively, which reflect uncertainties around our ability to generate sufficient income in certain jurisdictions to utilize our net deferred tax assets which primarily relate to Federal Foreign Tax Credits and NJ State R&D Credits. We believe it is more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income to realize our remaining deferred tax assets.

For federal income tax purposes, beginning in our fiscal year 2023, we were required to capitalize and amortize domestic research and development ("R&D") expenditures over five years and foreign R&D over fifteen years (such expenditures were previously deducted as incurred). Our cash flows from operations are adversely affected due to significantly higher cash tax payments in fiscal years 2023 to 2025 accordingly. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 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 R&D expenses, extensions of bonus depreciation, and modifications to the international tax regimes. The provisions in the legislation are generally effective beginning in our fiscal year 2026 and have been included in our operating results. Our cash flows from operations are positively affected due to lower federal cash tax payments in fiscal year 2026.

At March 31, 2026, we had $1,425 remaining federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and state NOL carryforwards of $1,467 which expire over various years beginning in March 2033 depending on the jurisdiction. As of March 31, 2026, we had foreign NOL carryforwards of $3,177 that will expire over various years beginning in March 2028 depending on the jurisdiction and $51,583 that will not expire. As of March 31, 2026, we hadno federal capital loss carryforwards. At March 31, 2026, we had foreign capital loss carryforwards of $816 that will not expire.

At March 31, 2026, we had $7,107 remaining federal R&D tax credit carryforwards and state R&D tax credit carryforwards of approximately $28,734. The NJ R&D credit carryforwards of $18,560 expire over various years beginning from March 2026 through March 2041. The California R&D credits of $10,174 do not expire.

At March 31, 2026, we had federal foreign tax credits ("FTC") carryforwards of approximately $7,644 which are expected to expire from March 2030 through March 2034. We hadno foreign FTC.

We conduct business globally and as a result, file income tax returns in the United States and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The following table summarizes the tax years subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities as of March 31, 2026. The years subject to income tax examination in our foreign jurisdictions cover the maximum time period with respect to these jurisdictions. Due to NOLs, in some cases the tax years continue to remain subject to examination with respect to such NOLs.

Tax JurisdictionYears Subject to IncomeTax Examination

Foreign jurisdictionsFiscal 2015 - Present

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in each of our tax jurisdictions. The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. A number of years may lapse before a particular matter is audited and finally resolved. A summary of the changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Year Ended March 31,

Ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits$17,627$11,748$9,673

Interest income, expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, the impact related to interest expense, interest income and penalties was not significant.

  1. Employee Benefit Plan

We have a defined contribution plan, as allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covering substantially all U.S. employees. Effective January 1, 2012, we make contributions equal to a discretionary percentage of the employee’s contributions determined by us. During the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, we made contributions of $3,122, $2,749 and $2,889, respectively.

  1. 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 (benefit), 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 total revenues by geographic area:

  1. 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 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:

March 31, 2026
Principal amount$900,000
Unamortized debt issuance costs(19,137)
Net carrying amount$880,863

Amortization of debt issuance costs incurred related to the Notes for the year ended March 31, 2026 was $2,416. 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 March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $1,652 and $198, respectively. The amortization of debt issuance costs and interest expense incurred related to the Credit Facility for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

Year Ended March 31,
202620252024
Amortization of debt issuance costs$392$115$115
Interest expense863253253
Total charges$1,255$368$368

Interest paid was $665 for the year ended March 31, 2026 and $253 for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
