Current report

Research and development expenses increased by $10.0 million, or 9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $8.0 million in increased employee-related costs due to a 14% increase in headcount in our research and development organization. The increase in employee-related cost was net of a $5.5 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. The Company recorded a reversal of stock-based compensation of $10.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to forfeitures of the Performance Options upon a key employee departure.

Current report

Interest income increased by $20.1 million and $23.9 million, or 89% and 37%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in interest income was primarily driven by the increase in investment balance.

Current report

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU is intended to make targeted improvements to the accounting and application of guidance related to capitalized software development costs. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.

Previous report

Research and development expenses increased by $59.4 million, or 31%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $55.4 million in increased employee-related costs due to a 17% increase in headcount in our research and development organization, including an increase of $17.5 million in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by increased capitalized internal-use software development costs of $1.5 million.

Previous report

Interest income did not significantly fluctuate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

Other income (expense), net decreased by $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by larger unrealized losses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar compared to prior periods.

Previous wording

◦International reach. Our global network, with a presence in more than 330 cities and over 125 countries worldwide, has helped to foster our strong international growth. International markets represented 51% and 49% of our revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and we intend to continue to invest in our international growth as a strategy to expand our customer base around the world.

Previous wording

We are closely monitoring macroeconomic developments and global events, such as the tariffs described above and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine and the potential worsening or expansion of those conflicts and other areas of geopolitical tension around the world, and other geopolitical events such as elections and other governmental changes, and, in each case, how they may adversely impact our and our customers’ businesses. Weak economic conditions or uncertainty regarding the stability of financial markets related to stock market volatility, inflation, recession, threats of tariffs and other impediments to cross-border trade, trade agreements or governmental fiscal, monetary and tax policies, among others, also could adversely impact our and our customers’ business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, general tightening in the credit market, lower levels of liquidity, increases in rates of default and bankruptcy, and significant volatility in equity and fixed-income markets could all negatively impact our customers’ purchasing decisions. Potentially as a result of these various macroeconomic impacts on our customers, we periodically have experienced lengthening of the average sales cycle for certain types of customers and sales (including sales to new customers and expansion sales to existing customers), slowdowns in our pipeline of potential new customers and in the rate of converting sales pipeline opportunities into new sales, increases in average days sales outstanding, higher levels of churn in our paying customer base (which is when any of our paying customers cease to be a paying customer for any reason, including any pay-as-you-go customer converting to a free subscription plan), and lengthening of the timing of payment from some of our customers, all of which may have contributed to a slowdown in our revenue growth from prior periods (including with respect to new customers). We believe macroeconomic uncertainty could persist during 2025. As a result, we expect that some or all of the negative trends described in this paragraph may emerge or recur during future quarters.

Previous wording

We believe our ability to grow the number of paying customers on our network provides a key indicator of growth of our business and our future business opportunities. We define a paying customer at the end of the quarter as a person or entity who has generated revenue and has an active contract with us or one of our partners during such quarter, excluding (i) customers that were not acquired through ordinary sales channels, (ii) customers using only our registrar product, and (iii) customers using our consumer applications, such as 1.1.1.1 and WARP, which agreements and customers together represent an insignificant amount of our revenue. An entity is defined as a company, a government institution, a non-profit organization, or a distinct business unit of a large company. An active contract is defined as a customer relationship for which we have provided services during the quarter. The number of paying customers was 265,929 and 210,166 as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

While we continue to grow customers across all sizes, over time, our large customers have contributed an increasing share of our revenue. We view the number of customers with Annualized Revenue greater than $100,000 as indicative of our penetration within large enterprise accounts. To measure Annualized Revenue at the end of a quarter, we take the sum of revenue for each customer in the quarter and multiply that amount by four. For example, if we signed a new customer that generated $1,800 of revenue in a quarter, that customer would account for $7,200 of Annualized Revenue for that year. Our Annualized Revenue calculation excludes (i) agreements that were not entered into through ordinary sales channels, (ii) revenue generated from customers using only our registrar product, and (iii) customers using our consumer applications, such as 1.1.1.1 and WARP, which agreements and customers together represent an insignificant amount of our revenue. Our Annualized Revenue metric also includes any usage charges by a customer during a period, which represents a small portion of our total revenue and may not be recurring. As a result, Annualized Revenue may be higher than actual revenue over the course of the year. The number of paying customers with Annualized Revenue greater than $100,000 was 3,712 and 3,046 as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

Our ability to maintain long-term revenue growth and achieve profitability is dependent on our ability to retain and grow revenue generated from our existing paying customers. We believe that we will achieve these objectives by continuing to focus on customer loyalty and adding additional products and functionality to our network. Our dollar-based net retention rate is a key way we measure our performance in these areas. Dollar-based net retention measures our ability to retain and expand recurring revenue from existing customers. To calculate dollar-based net retention for a quarter, we compare the Annualized Revenue from paying customers four quarters prior to the Annualized Revenue from the same set of customers in the most recent quarter. Our dollar-based net retention includes expansion and is net of contraction and attrition, but excludes Annualized Revenue from new customers in the current period. Our dollar-based net retention excludes the benefit of free customers that upgrade to a paid subscription between the prior and current periods, even though this is an important source of incremental growth. We believe this provides a more meaningful representation of our ability to add incremental business from existing paying customers as they renew and expand their contracts. Our dollar-based net retention rates were 114% and 112% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Previous wording

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through net proceeds from the sale of our equity and debt securities, as well as cash flow from our operating activities, and we expect to continue to finance our operations using the same sources for the foreseeable future. In May 2020, we issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes), which are no longer outstanding as of June 30, 2025 due to subsequent repurchases and conversions. In August 2021, we issued $1,293.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, from which we received net proceeds of $1,274.0 million. In May 2024, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders, which provides for a senior secured $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility), with a sublimit of $30.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit and $30.0 million available for swingline borrowings. The credit agreement permits us to increase the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The proceeds of the loans under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2025, no loans were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit issued under the credit agreement were not material as of June 30, 2025. In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated capped call option transactions (the 2025 Capped Calls) with certain financial institution counterparties. In March 2025, we elected cash settlement for the 2025 Capped Calls, which resulted in recognition of the derivative asset for $308.3 million. In May 2025, the Company received $309.6 million in cash in connection with the 2025 Capped Calls settlement, and recognized a gain of $1.3 million in other income (expense), net on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. In June 2025, we issued $2,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes, from which we received net proceeds of$1,971.0 million.

In May 2020, we issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 0.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the 2025 Notes), which are no longer outstanding as of September 30, 2025 due to subsequent repurchases and conversions. In August 2021, we issued $1,293.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, from which we received net proceeds of $1,274.0 million. In May 2024, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicated group of lenders, which provides for a senior secured $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility), with a sublimit of $30.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit and $30.0 million available for swingline borrowings. The credit agreement permits us to increase the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The proceeds of the loans under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2025, no loans were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit issued under the credit agreement were not material as of September 30, 2025. In connection with the offering of the 2025 Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated capped call option transactions (the 2025 Capped Calls) with certain financial institution counterparties. In March 2025, we elected cash settlement for the 2025 Capped Calls, which resulted in recognition of the derivative asset for $308.3 million. In May 2025, the Company received $309.6 million in cash in connection with the 2025 Capped Calls settlement, and recognized a gain of $1.3 million in other income (expense), net on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. In June 2025, we issued $2,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes, from which we received net proceeds of$1,971.0 million. In connection with the offering of the 2030 Notes, we entered into additional privately-negotiated capped call option transactions with certain financial institution counterparties.
