Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

RingCentral, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading provider of AI-powered business communications, contact center, video, and hybrid event solutions. The Company was incorporated in California in 1999 and was reincorporated in Delaware on September 26, 2013.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal, recurring in nature and those discussed in these notes) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 2025. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to these policies that have had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates made by management affect revenues, the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred and prepaid sales commission costs, goodwill, useful lives of intangible assets, share-based compensation, capitalization of internally developed software, return reserves, derivative instruments, provision for income taxes, uncertain tax positions, change in the fair value of contingent consideration, loss contingencies, sales tax liabilities and accrued liabilities. Management periodically evaluates these estimates and will make adjustments prospectively based upon the results of such periodic evaluations. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Related Party Transactions

All contracts with related parties are executed in the ordinary course of business. There wereno material related party transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, andno material amounts payable to or amounts receivable from related parties as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03: Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2024-03), which requires disaggregation of certain costs in a separate note to the financial statements, such as the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, included in each relevant expense caption in annual and interim consolidated financial statements. This ASU also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and our definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures.

Note 2. Revenue

The Company derives its revenues primarily from subscriptions, sale of products, and professional services. Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or products.

Disaggregation of revenue

Revenue by geographic location is based on the billing address of the customer. The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by primary geographical markets:

Three Months EndedMarch 31,
20252024
Primary geographical markets
North America (1)90%90%
Others1010
Total revenues100%100%

(1)Total revenues attributed to the United States were 94% of North America total revenues for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company derived over 90% of subscription revenues from RingEX and RingCentral contact center solutions for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, RingCentral contact center solutions represented over 10% of total revenues.

Deferred revenue

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $162.3 million that was included in the corresponding deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year.

Remaining performance obligations

The typical subscription term ranges fromone month tofive years. Contract revenue as of March 31, 2025 that has not yet been recognized was approximately $2.6 billion. This excludes contracts with an original expected length of less than one year. Of these remaining performance obligations, the Company expects to recognize revenue of 53% of this balance over the next 12 months and 47% thereafter.

Other revenues

Other revenues are primarily comprised of product revenue from the sale of pre-configured phones, and professional services. Product revenues from the sale of pre-configured phones were $10.9 million and $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures and reports certain cash equivalents, including money market funds, derivative interest rate swap agreement, and contingent consideration at fair value in accordance with the provisions of the authoritative accounting guidance that addresses fair value measurements. This guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Other inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are based on management’s assumptions, including fair value measurements determined by using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.

The financial instruments carried at fair value were determined using the following inputs (in thousands):

Other long-term liabilities:
Contingent consideration$3,000$—$—$3,000

The Company’s other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of those instruments.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”) was approximately $580.4 million. The fair value for the 2026 Convertible Notes was determined based on the quoted price for such notes in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and is considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the $400.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) was $365.0 million. As there are no embedded features or other variable features, the fair value of the Term Loan approximated its carrying value.

As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the 8.50% senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Senior Notes” and, together with the 2026 Convertible Notes, the “Notes”) was approximately $421.6 million. The fair value for the 2030 Senior Notes was determined based on the quoted price for such notes in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and is considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company’s interest rate swap derivative, which is considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is valued using a discounted cash flow model that utilizes observable inputs including forward interest rate data at the measurement date.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

The contingent consideration as presented in the fair value table above is related to the Company’s acquisition of Hopin in the third quarter of 2023, and represents the future potential earn-out payments based on the achievement of specified performance targets over multiple years, paid quarterly in cash. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation that includes significant unobservable inputs including the discount rate and projected revenues over the earn-out period. This contingent liability was classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. There were no changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024.

2030 Senior Notes

In August 2023, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Senior Notes in a private offering. The 2030 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.5% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15th and August 15th of each year. The 2030 Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and are subject to certain covenants and redemption provisions outlined in the indenture governing the 2030 Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes Indenture”). As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the outstanding 2030 Senior Notes, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was $393.4 million, and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Notes Indenture. The effective interest rate on the 2030 Senior Notes was 8.9% as of March 31, 2025.

Credit Agreement

In February 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders, from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and as collateral agent (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $400.0 million Term Loan. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company drew down the initial $400.0 million Term Loan and used the proceeds to repurchase a portion of the Company’s 0% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”). The credit facilities were subsequently amended in 2023 and 2024 to increase the Revolving Credit Facility to $225.0 million and the Term Loan to $750.0 million. The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility can be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, while the remaining $350.0 million tranches of the Term Loan can be used to repurchase a portion of the Company’s convertible notes and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit facilities are guaranteed by certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company, and secured by substantially all of the personal property of the Company and such subsidiary guarantors. If on any date that is within 91 days prior to the final scheduled maturity date of the 2026 Convertible Notes (defined below), the 2026 Convertible Notes are in an aggregate principal amount outstanding that exceeds an amount equal to 50% of last twelve months EBITDA, calculated as set forth in the Credit Agreement, the maturity date of both the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan shall automatically be modified to be such date. As of March 31, 2025, $350.0 million of the Term Loan remains available for draw until March 31, 2026, per the Credit Agreement as amended in the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, the $225.0 million Revolving Credit Facility commitments remain available for draw until February 14, 2028, at which time the commitments will terminate, and all outstanding revolving loans under the facility will be due and payable. The Company will continue to pay a commitment fee on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and a quarterly ticking fee of up to 0.500% per annum on the daily unused amount of the Term Loan commitments until the earlier of the funding of the remaining Term Loan or the end of the Term Loan availability period. Any drawdown under the Credit Agreement would be subject to compliance with the restrictive covenants in the Senior Notes Indenture.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bears interest, at the Company’s option, at either: (a) the fluctuating rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the federal funds rate then in effect, plus 0.5% per annum, (iii) an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) determined on the basis of a one-month interest period, plus 1.0% and (iv)1.0%, in each case, plus a margin of between 0.75% and 2.0%; and (b) an adjusted term SOFR rate (based on one, three or six month interest periods), plus a margin of between 1.75% and 3.0%. The applicable margin in each case is determined based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio and varies between tranches of Term Loans. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the alternate base rate or on the last day of an interest period, but at least every three months, with respect to borrowings bearing interest at the term SOFR rate.

As of March 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Term Loan, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was $362.9 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $10.8 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement, of which $7.5 million was capitalized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized primarily using the effective interest rate over the term of the Credit Agreement, while the remaining amount was expensed in the period incurred. As of March 31, 2025, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan was 6.9%. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Convertible Notes

In March 2020, the Company issued $1.0 billion of the 2025 Convertible Notes, and in September 2020, it issued $650.0 million of the 2026 Convertible Notes. In March 2025, the Company repaid the remaining $161.3 million of principal of the 2025 Convertible Notes in cash upon maturity. The 2026 Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations that do not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the 2026 Convertible Notes does not accrete.

As of March 31, 2025, the carrying values of the 2026 Convertible Notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $607.5 million, and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the 2026 Convertible Notes (“2026 Convertible Notes Indenture”).

Note 6. Derivative Instruments

In May 2023, the Company entered into afive-year floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with the objective of reducing exposure to the fluctuating interest rates associated with the Company’s variable rate borrowing program by paying quarterly a fixed interest rate of 3.79%, plus a margin of 2% to 3%. The interest rate swap agreement became effective on June 30, 2023, and terminates on February 14, 2028, consistent with the duration of the maturity of the Term Loan. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate swap agreement had a notional amount of $365.0 million.

The Company’s interest rate swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). These hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the Company’s future expected cash flows due to the fluctuation of the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company monitors the effectiveness of its hedges on a quarterly basis. The Company does not hold its interest rate swap agreement for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes its interest rate derivative designated as a cash flow hedge on a gross basis as an asset and a liability at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized gains and losses on the interest rate swap agreement are included in other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently recognized in earnings within or against interest expense when the hedged interest payments are accrued.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company estimates the net amount related to the interest rate swaps under the interest rate swap agreement expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next 12 months to be approximately $0.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reclassified $0.5 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as an offset and reduction to interest expense.

Note 7. Business Combinations

On June 21, 2024, the Company acquired certain customer relationships, intellectual property assets, and supporting operations and personnel for Mitel’s MiCloud Connect & Sky UCaaS offerings for a cash consideration of $26.3 million. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on the estimated fair value of the acquired customer relationships and developed technology intangible assets of $25.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, net acquired liabilities of $17.8 million, and goodwill of $16.8 million. The amortizable intangible assets have a weighted-average useful life of approximately five years. The goodwill recognized was attributable primarily to the assembled workforce and synergies. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of $3.6 million were expensed as incurred as general and administrative expenses. The Company included the results of operations from the acquisition date, which were not material, in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 8. Leases

The Company primarily leases facilities for office and data center space under non-cancelable operating leases for its U.S. and international locations. As of March 31, 2025, non-cancelable leases expire on various dates between 2025 and 2029.

Generally, the non-cancelable leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term fromone tosix years or more. The Company has the right to exercise or forego the lease renewal options. The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance sheet components of leases were as follows (in thousands):

March 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Operating lease right-of-use assets (1)$39,918$46,463

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings described below, and from time to time may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, intellectual property rights, employment matters, regulatory compliance matters, and other litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of business.

The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company assesses its potential liability by analyzing specific litigation and regulatory matters using reasonably available information. The Company develops its views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Actual claims could settle or be adjudicated against the Company in the future for materially different amounts than the Company has accrued due to the inherently unpredictable nature of litigation. Legal fees are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

CIPA Matter

On June 16, 2020, Plaintiff Meena Reuben (“Reuben”) filed a complaint against the Company for a putative class action lawsuit in California Superior Court for San Mateo County. The complaint alleges claims on behalf of a class of individuals for whom, while they were in California, the Company allegedly intercepted and recorded communications between individuals and the Company’s customers without the individual’s consent, in violation of the California Invasion of Privacy Act (“CIPA”) Sections 631 and 632.7. Reuben seeks statutory damages of $5,000 for each alleged violation of Sections 631 and 632.7, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs, and other unspecified amount of damages. The parties participated in mediation on August 24, 2021. On September 16, 2021, Reuben filed an amended complaint. The Company filed a demurrer to the amended complaint on October 18, 2021, and a motion for judgment on the pleadings on January 23, 2023. The Court overruled the Company’s demurrer and motion for judgment on the pleadings, and the parties then engaged in discovery. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment (“MSJ”) on February 16, 2024. An evidentiary hearing was held on August 2, 2024 and a hearing on the MSJ was held on October 11, 2024, whereupon, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgement. The Court entered judgment in RingCentral’s favor on November 5, 2024, and the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on January 6, 2025. Based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing and the rules and regulations applicable to the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, it is not reasonably possible to provide an estimated amount of any such loss or range of loss that may occur.

Share Repurchase Programs

Under the Company’s share repurchase programs, share repurchases may be made at the Company’s discretion from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, subject to a minimum cash balance. The programs do not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares of its Class A Common Stock. The timing and number of any shares repurchased under the programs will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, and general business and market conditions.

The following tables summarizes the share repurchase activity of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,

Amounts for excise tax withholdings and broker’s commissions—72—288
Total repurchases of common stock1,822$50,0362,361$80,635

As of March 31, 2025, approximately $218.1 million remained authorized and available under the Company’s share repurchase programs for future share repurchases. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company included the applicable excise tax withholdings and/or broker’s commissions in additional paid-in capital as part of the cost basis of repurchased stock. A corresponding liability for excise taxes payable was recorded in accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a discounted price through payroll deductions.

As of March 31, 2025, there was a total of $1.0 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the ESPP, which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of approximately 0.1 years. As of March 31, 2025, a total of 7,471,897 shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.

Restricted and Performance Stock Units

A summary of activity of restricted and performance-based stock units as of March 31, 2025, and changes during the period then ended is presented in the following table:

Canceled/Forfeited(559)37.21
Outstanding as of March 31, 20256,870$40.17$170,122

Restricted Stock Units

The 2013 Plan provides for the issuance of RSUs to employees, directors, and consultants. RSUs issued under the 2013 Plan generally vest over three orfour years.

As of March 31, 2025, there was a total of $203.7 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs, which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting periods of approximately 1.9 years.

Performance Stock Units

The 2013 Plan provides for the issuance of PSUs. The PSUs granted under the 2013 Plan are contingent upon the achievement of predetermined market, performance, and service conditions. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of its market condition PSUs. PSU expense is recognized using the graded vesting method over the requisite service period. For performance-based metrics, the compensation expense is based on a probability of achievement of the performance conditions. For market-based conditions, if the market conditions are not met but the service conditions are met, the PSUs will not vest; however, any stock-based compensation expense recognized will not be reversed.

For the majority of the PSUs granted, the number of shares of common stock to be issued at vesting will range from 0% to 200% of the target number based on the achievement of the different performance and market conditions over the respective measurement period. The PSUs generally vest over atwo- orthree-year period.

As of March 31, 2025, there was a total of $13.4 million unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to these PSUs, which will be recognized over the remaining service period of approximately 0.9 years.

Employee Equity Compensation Plans

The Company’s board of directors adopted employee equity bonus plans (“Plans”), which allow the recipients to earn fully vested shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock upon the achievement of quarterly service and/or performance conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company issued 361,217 and 369,797, respectively, under the employee equity bonus plans. The shares under these Plans are issued from the reserve of shares available for issuance under the 2013 Plan. The total requisite service period for these Plans is approximately 0.4 years.

The unrecognized share-based compensation expense as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $3.9 million, which will be recognized over the remaining service period of 0.1 years. The shares issued under these Plans are issued from the reserve of shares available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $6.0 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Beginning in 2022, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) enacted on December 22, 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures for tax purposes in the period the expenses were incurred and instead requires all U.S. and foreign research and development expenditures to be amortized over five and fifteen tax years, respectively.

Due to this required capitalization of research and development expenditures, the Company has recorded current U.S. income tax expense of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The current U.S. income tax provision is primarily for federal and state taxes currently payable that we anticipate paying as a result of statutory limitations on our ability to offset expected taxable income with net operating loss carry forwards.

The realization of tax benefits of net deferred tax assets is dependent upon future levels of taxable income, of an appropriate character, in the periods the items are expected to be deductible or taxable. Based on the available objective evidence, except with respect to the UK deferred tax assets described below, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that certain net deferred tax assets will be realizable. Accordingly, the Company continues to provide a full valuation allowance against the entire domestic net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company intends to maintain the full valuation allowance on the U.S. net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 13. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, ESPP, convertible notes, and convertible preferred stock, to the extent dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, all such common stock equivalents have been excluded from diluted net loss per share as the effect to net loss per share would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock (in thousands, except per share data):

The following table summarizes the potentially dilutive common shares that were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect (in thousands):

Three Months EndedMarch 31,

Shares of common stock issuable under equity incentive plans outstanding8,0859,944
Shares of common stock related to convertible preferred stock743743
Potential common shares excluded from diluted net loss per share8,82810,687

Pursuant to the terms of the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture, effective January 1, 2022, the Company made an irrevocable election to, upon conversions of the 2026 Convertible Notes, settle the principal portion of such converted 2026 Convertible Notes only in cash, with the conversion premium to be settled in cash or shares at the Company’s election.

The Company calculates the potential dilutive effect of the 2026 Convertible Notes under the if-converted method. Under this method, only the amounts settled in excess of the principal will be considered in diluted earnings per share, in line with the terms of the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture.

Note 14. Restructuring Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred restructuring costs of $7.1 million as part of the broader efforts to optimize the Company’s cost structure. The restructuring costs primarily consisted of severance payments, employee benefits and related costs. The Company expects to substantially complete these actions in 2025, subject to local law and consultation requirements in certain countries. The Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur as a result of or in connection with the implementation of these actions.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restructuring costs that were recorded as an operating expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Note 15. Segment Information

The Chief Executive Officer, who functions as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), oversees the Company’s business activities at the consolidated level as a single operating and reportable segment. The factors used to identify the Company’s single operating segment include the organizational structure of the Company and the financial information available for evaluation by the CODM. The CODM uses consolidated net income (or loss) and operating margin to evaluate financial performance and make decisions regarding resource allocation, including setting target revenue growth and distributing the budget across cost of revenues, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.

The following table presents selected financial information for the Company’s single operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Concentrations

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily derived from sales by resellers and to direct customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated potential credit losses. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, none of the Company’s customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, none of the Company’s customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues or subscription revenues.

Long-lived assets by geographic location are based on the location of the legal entity that owns the asset. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately 89% and 90% of the Company’s consolidated long-lived assets were located in the U.S. No other single country outside of the U.S. represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated long-lived assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
