Previous report

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. While we are still assessing the legislation and its effect on our consolidated financial statements, we anticipate the included provisions that reinstate immediate expensing of research expenditures will reduce our domestic cash tax outflows in 2025. As the legislation was signed into law after the close of our second quarter, the impacts are not included in our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Our FCF increased for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in cash provided by operating activities, in addition to a decrease in capital expenditures. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in net income, as adjusted for stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses, partially offset by an increase in cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in cash outflows from operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by the payment for the third tranche termination fee for the partial termination of our lease for our San Francisco, California corporate headquarters and payments for our 2024 reduction in workforce.

We expect our FCF to generally increase in the near term as we drive operating efficiencies, partly due to our 2024 reduction in workforce.

However, we expect overall spend in the future periods to remain consistent with prior years as we continue to invest in our internal infrastructure, network and security. The timing of our operating expenses as described below, may cause FCF to vary from period to period as a percentage of revenue.
