Changes in fair value of contingent consideration were driven by revised revenue estimates utilized in estimating the NewsWhip earnout liability. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to the Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for further discussion. The decrease in amortization of leasehold improvements was driven by a decrease in leasehold improvements subject to amortization, resulting from the April 2025 early termination of one floor of the Company’s leased office space in Chicago. Personnel costs increased as we continued to invest in our finance, legal and other administrative functions to support the Company’s growth. The increase in the amortization expense of intangible assets was primarily driven by the intangible assets recognized as part of the NewsWhip acquisition. The decrease in other was partially driven by lower overhead costs and other expenses due to the April 2025 early partial lease termination.

Historically, we have generated losses from operations as evidenced by our accumulated deficit. However, we have generated positive cash flows from operations for the last four fiscal years, from 2021 to 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we also generated positive cash flows from operations. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to grow the business. We may experience greater than anticipated operating losses in the short- and long-term due to macroeconomic, financial, geopolitical and other factors that are beyond our control. The impact of these factors on our customers and our operations going forward remains uncertain, and we continue to proactively monitor our liquidity position.

As of March 31, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $111.6 million and net accounts receivable of $69.4 million.

Previous wording
Prior to our IPO in December 2019, we financed our operations primarily through private issuance of equity securities and line of credit borrowings. In our IPO, we received net proceeds of $134.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.5 million and offering expenses of $5.2 million. We subsequently received an additional $10.0 million of net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions in January 2020 as a result of the over-allotment option exercise by the underwriters of our IPO. In August 2020, we received $42.1 million of net proceeds from our equity follow-on offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. In August 2023, we borrowed $75 million under the Facility in connection with the Tagger acquisition. In July 2025, we borrowed $32 million under the Facility in connection with the NewsWhip acquisition. Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been to fund operations, pay for acquisitions, pay down our Facility, and invest in capital expenditures.
Current wording
We primarily finance our operations through cash flows from operating activities, available cash and line of credit borrowings. In August 2023, we borrowed $75 million under the Facility in connection with the Tagger acquisition, and in July 2025, we borrowed $32 million under the Facility in connection with the NewsWhip acquisition. Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been to fund operations, pay for acquisitions, pay down our Facility and invest in capital expenditures.
Previous wording
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash and investment balances and potential future equity or debt transactions. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our subscription growth rate, subscription renewal activity, billing frequency, the impact of macroeconomic conditions on our customers and our operations, the timing and extent of spending to support our research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of our product. We have in the past, and may in the future, enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Customers contributing over $10,000 in ARR grew 7% versus the prior year and customers contributing over $50,000 in ARR grew 21% versus the prior year.
