Current report
Cash provided by operating activities of $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 consisted of a net loss of $17.0 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $28.5 million and net cash inflows of $7.4 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in deferred revenue which was due in part to an increase in large contracts signed in the period coupled with growth in our customer base. The increases in accounts receivable, other receivables, and accounts payable as well as the decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities were attributable primarily to the timing of cash payments and collections.

Our capital expenditures were associated primarily with computer equipment in support of expanding our infrastructure and work force.

Previous report
Cash used in operating activities was flat for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and consisted of a net loss of $17.5 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $25.4 million and net cash outflows of $7.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable driven by an increase in large contracts that were signed toward the end of the period and timing of collections from customers. The increase in large contracts also drove an increase in deferred costs, partially offset by the related increase in deferred revenue. The decreases in accounts payable, prepaid expenses, and other receivables as well as the increases in accrued expenses and other liabilities were attributable primarily to the timing of cash payments and collections.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, interest income increased $14.5 million compared to the same period a year ago due primarily to an increase in our investment balance, facilitated by the issuance of our 2028 convertible notes (the "2028 Notes"), coupled with higher interest rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a $45.1 million loss on induced conversion from the partial repurchase of our 2026 Notes, which did not recur in 2024 and contributed primarily to the decrease in interest expense compared to the same period a year ago. Other expense, net decreased $1.1 million compared to the same period a year ago due primarily to gains on foreign currency transactions as well as losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities from the first nine months of 2023 which did not recur in 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $740.9 million, which were held for working capital purposes. We have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and issuances of convertible debts. We have generated significant operating losses as reflected in our accumulated deficit on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. While we expect to continue to incur operating losses and may incur negative cash flows from operations in the future, we believe that current cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
