(2)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and condensed footnotes have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements due to the permitted exclusion of certain disclosures for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary under GAAP for fair statement of results for the interim periods presented have been included. As a result of displaying amounts in millions, rounding differences may exist in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote tables. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for other interim periods or future years. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, and include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Common Stock Split
On December 5, 2025, our board of directors approved and declared a 5-for-1 split of our common stock (“Stock Split”), with a proportionate increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock. The Stock Split had a record date of December 16, 2025 and an effective date of December 17, 2025. The par value per share of our common stock remains unchanged at $0.001 per share after the Stock Split. Accordingly, an amount equal to the par value of the additional issued shares resulting from the Stock Split was reclassified from additional paid-in capital to common stock. All references made to common share, equity award and per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of the Stock Split.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the period of benefit for deferred commissions, valuation of intangible assets, the useful life of property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we have incorporated one update to our significant accounting policies related to employee severance associated with our 2026 workforce optimization strategy. There were no other significant changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on January 29, 2026.
Employee Severance
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company initiated a workforce optimization strategy that streamlines certain functions in the organization by leveraging AI-driven efficiencies and investing in talent in key strategic areas. Employee severance and related costs associated with the strategy are recognized as one-time employee termination costs when employee notification occurs. For ongoing employee benefit arrangements, severance and related costs are recognized when it becomes probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Credit risk arising from accounts receivable is mitigated to a certain extent due to our large number of customers and their dispersion across various industries and geographies. We had one customer, a U.S. federal channel partner and systems integrator, that represented 20% and 11% of our accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. This customer represented 12% of our total revenues for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 11% of our total revenues for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Based on our periodic credit evaluations, there have been no historical collection concerns with this customer. For purposes of assessing concentration of credit risk and significant customers, a group of customers under common control or customers that are affiliates of each other are regarded as a single customer.
