Recent Developments
Current report
Workforce Reduction Plan
Current report
On July 8, 2026, our board of directors approved a workforce reduction plan (the "Plan") designed to streamline our organizational structure and align our cost base with our strategic priorities, including our ongoing investments in AI-powered social intelligence. As part of the Plan, we will reduce our workforce by approximately 20%, or approximately 260 employees.
Current report
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we incurred $0.8 million of restructuring and related expenses, consisting primarily of costs incurred in anticipation of the Plan. We estimate that we will incur total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $18.0 million to $20.0 million in connection with the Plan, consisting primarily of cash expenditures related to employee severance payments and benefits. We expect to recognize substantially all of these charges in the third quarter of 2026, and expect to substantially complete the Plan by the end of the third quarter of 2026, subject to local law and consultation requirements.
Current report
The charges that we expect to incur in connection with the Plan are estimates and are subject to a number of assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. We may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the Plan.
Current report
The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was driven by equity award forfeitures and lower grant values. Sales commission expense increased due to year-over-year sales growth. The decrease in other was primarily driven by various marketing initiatives.
Current report
The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was driven by equity award forfeitures and lower grant values. The loss on lease termination was incurred in April 2025 following an amendment to our Chicago office lease agreement, which resulted in the early termination of one floor of the leased space. 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. Restructuring and related costs consist of preliminary expenses incurred in anticipation of the Plan. Refer to Note 12 of the Notes to the Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for further discussion. The increase in the amortization expense of intangible assets was primarily driven by the intangible assets recognized as part of the NewsWhip acquisition.

Income Tax Expense
Current report
Income tax expense for the periods presented was primarily driven by foreign income tax expense.
Current report
While we expect that the Plan and the majority of the related cash expenditures will be substantially complete by the end of the third quarter of 2026, we may incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur, or that are associated with, the Plan. Additionally, we may not achieve the expected benefits of these cost reduction measures and other cost reduction plans on the anticipated timeline, or at all, which could otherwise accelerate our liquidity needs.
Current report
Share Repurchase Program
Current report
On May 7, 2026, we announced that our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) under which we may repurchase up to $50 million of our Class A common stock. The Share Repurchase Program authorizes us to repurchase our Class A common stock from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through block purchases, through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or by any combination of such methods, all in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be determined by our management at our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the market price of our Class A common stock, general business and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities and funding considerations. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular amount of Class A common stock, has no set termination date and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the discretion of our board of directors.
Current report
As of June 30, 2026, no shares have been repurchased under the share repurchase program.

We generate revenue primarily from subscriptions to our social media management platform under a software-as-a-service model. Our subscriptions can range from monthly to one-year or multi-year arrangements and are generally non-cancellable during the contractual subscription term. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date the product is made available to customers, which typically begins on the commencement date of each contract. We also generate revenue from professional services related to our platform provided to certain customers, which is generally recognized at the time these services are provided to the customer. This revenue has historically represented less than 1% of our revenue and is expected to be immaterial for the foreseeable future.

The purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed become available. We expect to finalize the allocation of the purchase consideration as soon as practicable, pending any other adjustments to acquired assets or liabilities, but no later than 12 months from the acquisition date. We have included the financial results of NewsWhip in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

We are focused on continuing to organically grow our customer base by increasing demand for our platform and penetrating our addressable market. Our growth strategy includes an increased focus on the larger enterprise market. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, while our total number of customers decreased, our number of customers contributing $30,000 or more in annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) and $50,000 or more in ARR increased. In addition, as we continue to focus on expanding our enterprise customer base, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience longer and more expansive average sale cycles and increased pricing pressure, which may be exacerbated by the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors described above. We expect these trends to continue as we remain focused on our most sophisticated prospects and customers.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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.
Current wording
As of June 30, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $119.9 million and net accounts receivable of $78.1 million. 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 five fiscal years, from 2021 to 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we also generated positive cash flows from operations.

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 and geopolitical 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.
