- Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has non-cancelable contractual commitments related to the 2026 Notes (as defined below) as well as the related interest. The interest on the 2026 Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. See Note 12 - Debt for additional information about the Company's convertible senior notes. The Company also has non-cancelable contractual commitments for certain third-party products, stadium sponsorship costs, commitment fees associated with the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement, third-party public cloud service provider fees and other product costs. Several of these purchase commitments for third-party products contain both a contractual minimum obligation and a variable obligation based upon usage or other factors which can change on a monthly basis. The estimated amounts for usage and other factors are not included within the table below.
Future minimum contractual commitments that have initial non-cancelable terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising both in and outside the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not presently a party to any legal proceedings that it believes, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
In March 2025, the Company agreed to settle a dispute with a former commercial real estate broker related to commissions for the lease of its current headquarters, pursuant to which the Company paid $1.8 million to settle the matter in full. The Company has recorded the entire amount within general and administrative expenses on its consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The Company considers this specific settlement as a non-recurring charge due to the unique nature of the dispute and the underlying facts, which are outside the normal course of its business.
Loss Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies that cover a range of matters. An estimated loss from a loss contingency, such as a legal proceeding or claim, is accrued if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Severance and Other Related Costs
During the second half of 2025, the Company incurred contractual severance-related expenses for the departure of executive officers that are included within lease and other restructuring charges on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The severance charges relating to the executive departures are anticipated to be paid out over the 18 months following the executives' departures, consistent with employment arrangements. During 2025 cash payments of $0.8 million were made for the incurred costs in 2025 and for the previous year's executive departure. The remaining liability related to these and prior year's charges is included in accrued compensation on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $1.8 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
- Debt
The following table presents details of the Company's convertible senior notes outstanding as of December 31, 2025, which are further discussed below (principal in thousands):
| Date Issued | Maturity Date (1) | Principal | Interest Rate per Annum | Conversion Rate for Each $1,000 Principal (2) | Initial Conversion Price per Share | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 Notes | June 1, 2019 | June 1, 2026 | $303,995 | 0.75% | $11.2851 | $88.61 |
(1)Unless earlier converted or repurchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date
(2)Subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events
In June 2019, the Company issued $316.3 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due in June 2026, or the 2026 Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2019. In November 2020, the Company issued $350.0 million principal amount of convertible senior notes due in November 2025, or the 2025 Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2021.
In March 2023, the Company repurchased $12.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes for $10.7 million in cash and repurchased $159.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes for $138.4 million in cash. The partial repurchase of the 2026 Notes and 2025 Notes resulted in a $19.9 million gain on early debt extinguishment, of which $1.8 million consisted of unamortized debt issuance costs. This gain was recorded within other income, net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). In November 2025, the Company repaid the remaining $191.0 million of principal and the remaining accrued interest in cash to the debt holders to fully settle the 2025 Notes on the maturity date.
The Company may repurchase additional 2026 Notes from time to time through open market purchases, block trades, and/or privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, volume, and nature of the repurchases will be determined by the Company based on the capital needs of the business, market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors.
The 2026 Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2026 Notes, rank equally in right of payment with any of the Company's indebtedness that is not so subordinated, are effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company's secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company's current and future subsidiaries.
On or after June 5, 2023, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, at the Company's option, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30-consecutive trading-day period. If the Company calls any or all of the 2026 Notes for redemption, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day prior to the redemption date, even if the 2026 Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. After that time, the right to convert such 2026 Notes will expire, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, in which case a holder of the 2026 Notes may convert all or any portion of its 2026 Notes until the redemption price has been paid or duly provided for.
On or after March 1, 2026, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, regardless of the succeeding conditions described herein. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, as described in the indentures governing the 2026 Notes.
Holders may convert their 2026 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2026, only under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2019 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during thefive consecutive business day period after anyfive consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
If a fundamental change (as defined in the relevant indenture governing the 2026 Notes) occurs prior to the maturity date, holders of the 2026 Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The 2026 and 2025 Notes consist of the following:
| As of December 31, 2025 | As of December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 Notes | 2025 Notes | 2026 Notes | 2025 Notes | |
| Principal | $303,995 | $— | $303,995 | $191,000 |
| Unamortized debt issuance costs | (627) | — | (1,880) | (669) |
| Net carrying amount | $303,368 | $— | $302,115 | $190,331 |
As of December 31, 2025, the 2026 Notes were not convertible. As of December 31, 2025, the if-converted value of the 2026 Notes didnot exceed the principal amount. The if-converted value was determined based on the closing price of the Company's stock on December 31, 2025.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions, or the Capped Calls, with one or more counterparties. The Capped Calls associated with the 2026 Notes have an initial strike price of $88.6124 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2026 Notes. The Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $139.00 per share. The Capped Calls are expected to offset the potential dilution to the common stock upon any conversion of the 2026 Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes in the event the market price per share of common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call, with such offset subject to a cap. If, however, the market price per share of the common stock exceeds the cap price of the Capped Calls, there would be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that the then-market price per share of the common stock exceeds the cap price. As the Capped Calls are considered indexed to the Company's stock and are considered equity classified, they are recorded in stockholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheets and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $40.8 million incurred in connection with the Capped Calls associated with the 2026 Notes was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
In March 2023, in connection with the partial repurchase of the 2026 and 2025 Notes, the Company terminated the Capped Calls in a notional amount corresponding to the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 and 2025 Notes that were repurchased. As a result of the termination of the related Capped Calls, the Company received cash payments of $0.1 million. The proceeds were recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On July 29, 2024, the Company entered into afive-year secured Revolving Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Texas Capital Bank. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $125.0 million, which may be drawn upon as revolving loans, swingline loans or letter of credit issuances, with sublimits (i) in the case of swingline loans, in an amount up to $20.0 million and (ii) in the case of letters of credit, in an amount up to $10.0 million. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement may, at the Company's election, bear interest quarterly at either (a) the base rate plus the applicable margin ("Base Rate Loans") or (b) the adjusted term secured overnight financing rate (the "SOFR"), plus the applicable margin (the "Adjusted Term SOFR Loans"). The applicable margin ranges from 0.75% to 1.50% per annum for Base Rate Loans and 1.75% to 2.50% per annum for Adjusted Term SOFR loans. A commitment fee accrues at a rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum, based on the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio, of the average daily unused portion of the commitment of the lenders.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants which restrict the ability of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries to, among other things, create liens, incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain other transactions, in each case subject to certain exclusions. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants which become effective in the event the Company's liquidity (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) falls below specified levels. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, cross-default acceleration to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the termination of the Revolving Credit Agreement and acceleration of repayment obligations with respect to any outstanding principal amounts. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Agreement.
As of December 31, 2025, $0.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Credit Agreement is included in prepaid expense and other current assets and other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, the Company hadno outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

- Repurchase Program
In October 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized its Repurchase Program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $150.0 million, of its common stock.

The timing and number of shares of common stock repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the market price of our common stock, general business and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and funding considerations. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares and has no expiration date. The Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company's Board of Directors at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had repurchased 69 shares for $5.0 million. All shares of common stock repurchased were retired.

The Company has established a valuation allowance due to uncertainties regarding the realization of deferred tax assets based on the Company's lack of earnings history. During 2025, the valuation allowance decreased by approximately $4.5 million due to continuing operations.
At December 31, 2025, the Company's foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings have been retained and are intended to be indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of any taxes that would be payable upon remittance of these earnings, because such tax, if any, is dependent upon circumstances existing if and when remittance occurs.
On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," was signed into law. This legislation includes several changes to federal tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in 2025, including the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and more favorable rules for determining the limitation on business interest expense. These changes were reflected in the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company's provision for income taxes attributable to continuing operations differs from the expected tax expense amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% to income before taxes for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, primarily as a result of the following:

At December 31, 2025, approximately $1.4 million would reduce the Company's annual effective tax rate, if recognized. As of December 31, 2025, the Company hadno accrued interest. The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that any of its unrecognized tax positions will be resolved within the next 12 months.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, several state jurisdictions, and in each foreign jurisdiction in which we have operations. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2022. Operating losses and credits generated in years prior to 2022 remain open to adjustment until the statute of limitations closes for the tax year in which the net operating losses and credits are utilized. The tax years 2022 through 2025 remain open to examination by all the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
- Employee Benefit Plans
Defined contribution plan
In January 2009, the Company adopted a 401(k) retirement savings plan, or 401(k) Plan, covering substantially all employees. The 401(k) Plan also provides for employer contributions to be made at the Company's discretion. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50% of employee contributions, up to 6% of each participant's compensation. Employees are eligible to participate upon date of hire and are immediately vested in all matching contributions. The Company's policy prohibits participants from direct investment in shares of its common stock within the plan. The Company's contributions charged to expense were $7.7 million, $7.8 million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Defined benefit plan
The Company maintains a gratuity plan in India, or the Gratuity Plan, that is a statutory post-employment benefit plan providing defined lump sum benefits to vested employees on retirement or upon termination of employment in an amount based on the respective employee's salary and years of employment with the Company. Beginning in 2025, the Company makes annual contributions to the employees' gratuity fund established with a government-owned insurance corporation to fund a portion of the estimated obligation. As of December 31, 2025, the projected benefit obligation was approximately $1.6 million, and the liability is presented as accrued compensation on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. The Company recognized total expense of $0.6 million related to the Gratuity Plan in the year ended December 31, 2025.
