Current report

We currently serve our customers using cloud service providers located around the world. Some of the cloud service providers’ facilities are located in areas prone to natural disasters and may experience events such as earthquakes, floods, fires, severe weather events, power loss, computer or telecommunication failures, service outages or losses, and similar events. They also may be subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism, and similar misconduct or cybersecurity issues, including attacks enhanced or facilitated by AI, human error, terrorism, improper operation, unauthorized entry, and data loss. For example, in connection with the 2026 Iran conflict, multiple availability zones within a cloud service provider’s facilities in the United Arab Emirates on which we relied were damaged by Iranian drone strikes, resulting in the inaccessibility and potential loss of certain customer data. While our systems are designed with redundancy resilience measures, extraordinary events affecting regional infrastructure, such as armed conflict, geopolitical instability, or damage to third-party facilities, may exceed the designed tolerances of such systems. Although we have sought to implement alternative backup arrangements and relocated data to other regions in connection with the 2026 Iran conflict, and may in the future take similar actions in response to the current or future conflicts or other force majeure events, we cannot provide assurance that these locations (including back up locations) will not also be adversely impacted, or that data will not be destroyed, in the course of the current or future conflicts or other force majeure events. In addition, the effectiveness and timing of any recovery or mitigation efforts may depend on factors outside our control, including the recovery timelines and data durability assurances of third‑party cloud service providers.

Current report

Also, while we have incurred an immaterial amount of incremental costs in connection with the 2026 Iran conflict through April 30, 2026, we may in the future incur additional and unanticipated costs in connection with the current or future conflicts or other force majeure events, which may be significant, in responding to or mitigating the effects of such events, including through emergency data and software transfers, changes to hosting locations, or the relocation of our employees or operations. Any of these impacts could harm our reputation, adversely affect customer relationships, particularly with regulated or public-sector customers, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current report

We use AI tools in our business operations for internal and external uses and develop AI as part of our product offering. Our development and use of advanced AI technologies, including generative and agentic AI, may expose us to additional risks. We are investing in and seeking to accelerate AI capabilities, including agentic AI systems that may increasingly incorporate automation and decision-support capabilities. Although we continue to implement governance processes, controls and oversight mechanisms designed to mitigate these risks, such technologies may increase the risk of unintended or harmful outcomes, reduced transparency or explainability, security or access‑control failures, and present challenges in monitoring autonomous behavior and ensuring accountability and compliance. If we are unable to effectively design, deploy, govern, or control these technologies, our business, reputation, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Current report

We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be fully completed or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our common stock and could diminish our cash reserves.

Current report

Our board of directors has approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $200 million of our Class A common stock through March 15, 2027 in open market purchases at prevailing market prices or in negotiated transactions off the market, including, without limitation, pursuant to 10b5-1 trading plans, accelerated share repurchase transactions, collared accelerated share repurchase transactions, volume weighted average purchase prepaid forward transactions, and similar arrangements (the “2026 Share Repurchase Program”). Although our board of directors has authorized the 2026 Share Repurchase Program, it does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares. The actual timing, manner, price, and total amount of future repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The 2026 Share Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time, and we cannot guarantee that the program will be fully completed or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The 2026 Share Repurchase Program could affect the trading price of our stock and increase volatility, and any announcement of a termination of this program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our stock. In addition, the 2026 Share Repurchase Program could diminish our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

We have incurred significant losses in the past, and we had an accumulated deficit of $763.5 million and $626.1 million as of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively. While we have experienced revenue growth in recent periods and periods of profitability, we are not certain whether or when we will obtain a high enough volume of sales to sustain or increase our growth or maintain profitability in the future. We expect that our costs will increase over time and we could incur future losses, as we expect to invest significant additional funds in our business. To date, we have financed our operations principally through subscription payments by customers for use of our Unified-CXM platform and equity and debt financings. We have expended and expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on:

Previous wording

We have experienced, and may continue to experience, growth and organizational change, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, operational and financial resources. In addition, we operate globally and sell subscriptions in more than 80 countries. We also have experienced significant growth in the number of enterprises, end users, transactions and amount of data that our Unified-CXM platform and our associated hosting infrastructure support. As we continue to enter new markets and expand our international operations, we have launched new product innovations in recent years, which has led, and could continue to lead, to increased product and operational complexity, including increased implementation periods, or more complex implementations and ongoing support needs, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We plan to continue to expand our international operations into other countries in the future, which will place additional demands on our resources and operations.

We plan to continue to expand our international operations into other countries in the future, which will place additional demands on our resources and operations. This expansion will also expose us to increased regulatory complexity and risk, including compliance with diverse local laws, tax regulations, data privacy requirements, and other country-specific legal and operational challenges.

Previous wording

In order to grow our business, we must continue to attract new customers in a cost-effective manner and enable such customers to realize the benefits associated with our Unified-CXM platform. We may not be able to attract new customers to our Unified-CXM platform for a variety of reasons, including as a result of their use of traditional approaches to customer experience management, their internal timing or budget or the pricing of our Unified-CXM platform compared to products and services offered by our competitors. After a customer makes a purchasing decision, we often must also help them successfully implement our Unified-CXM platform in their organization.

Previous wording

Guidance is necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions of the guidance furnished by us will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. In particular, guidance offered in periods of extreme uncertainty, such as the uncertainty caused by macroeconomic conditions, is inherently more speculative in nature than guidance offered in periods of relative stability. For example, we recorded a higher than expected provision for credit losses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, which caused certain of our operating results to fall below the guidance ranges provided for such metrics in the previous period. Accordingly, any guidance with respect to our projected financial performance is necessarily only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date the guidance is given. Actual results will vary from the guidance, and the variations may be material. Investors should also recognize that the reliability of any forecasted financial data will diminish the farther in the future that the data is forecasted.

Our results of operations and financial metrics, including the levels of our revenue, gross margin, profitability, cash flow and deferred revenue, have fluctuated in the past and may vary significantly in the future. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful, and the results of any one period should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, and, as a result, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. Fluctuation in results of operations may negatively impact the value of our Class A common stock. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our results of operations include, without limitation, those listed below:

The cumulative effects of the factors discussed above could result in large fluctuations and unpredictability in our quarterly and annual results of operations. This variability and unpredictability also could result in our failing to meet the expectations of industry or financial analysts or investors for any period. If our revenue or results of operations fall below the expectations of analysts or investors or below any guidance we may provide, or if the guidance we provide is below the expectations of analysts or investors, the price of our Class A common stock could decline substantially. Such a stock price decline could occur even if we have met any previously publicly stated guidance we may provide.

In addition, we expect that an increasing focus on customer satisfaction and the growth of various communications channels and new technologies will profoundly impact the market for Unified-CXM solutions. We believe that enterprises increasingly are looking for flexible solutions that bridge across traditionally separate systems for experience management, marketing automation and customer relationship management. We may be unable to effectively adapt our platform and approach to respond to changes in technology and customer needs. For example, in recent periods, we have experienced difficulties with managing the implementation of certain larger CCaaS projects, which has resulted in increased customer dissatisfaction, loss of certain customers and a delay in recognizing revenue associated with certain of these projects. In addition, customers have in the past and may continue in the future to slow their rate of expansion or reduce their number of licenses. If we are unable to meet this demand to manage customer experiences through flexible solutions designed to address a broad range of needs, or if we otherwise fail to achieve more widespread market acceptance of our Unified-CXM platform, our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects may be adversely affected.

While we do not believe that any of our competitors currently offer a full suite of Unified-CXM solutions that competes across the breadth of our Unified-CXM platform, certain features of our Unified-CXM platform compete in particular segments of the overall Unified-CXM category. Our main competitors include, among others, experience management solutions, including social media management and social listening solutions, home-grown tools, customer service and support solutions, such as social messaging, conversational and Agentic AI, CCaaS solutions, customer feedback management and Voice of the Customer solutions, content marketing, and social advertising solutions, and consulting firms and customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning solutions. Further, other established SaaS providers and other technology companies not currently focused on Unified-CXM may expand their services to compete with us. Some of our competitors may be able to offer products or functionality similar to ours at a more attractive price than we can or do, including by integrating or bundling such products with their other product offerings. Additionally, some potential customers, particularly large organizations, have elected, and may in the future elect, to develop their own internal Unified-CXM solutions.

Finally, a key element of our Unified-CXM value proposition is our ability to integrate solicited and unsolicited sources of structured and unstructured data. An important part of this is our social listening capabilities, which have a dependency on the application programming interfaces (“APIs”) that different channel owners provide (e.g., X, Meta, Snap, etc.). If those channel providers significantly alter their API capabilities, technical or legal limitations, or monetization models, that could have a negative impact in our overall value proposition.

Previous wording

In order for us to maintain or improve our results of operations, it is important that we maintain and expand our relationships with our customers and that our customers renew their subscriptions when the initial subscription term expires or otherwise expand their subscription program with us. Our customers are not obligated to, and may elect not to, renew their subscriptions on the same or similar terms after their existing subscriptions expire. Some of our customers have in the past elected, and may in the future elect, not to renew their agreements with us or otherwise reduce the scope of their subscriptions, and we do not have sufficient operating history with our business model and pricing strategy to accurately predict long-term customer renewal rates. In addition, the growth of our business depends in part on our customers expanding their use of our Unified-CXM platform, which can be difficult to predict.

Current wording

In order for us to maintain or improve our results of operations, it is important that we maintain and expand our customer relationships and our customers renew their subscriptions or increase their subscription-based spending over time. Our customers are not obligated to, and may elect not to, renew their subscriptions on the same or similar terms after their existing subscriptions expire.

In addition, our business growth depends in part on our customers expanding their use of our Unified-CXM platform, which can be difficult to predict.

Previous wording

Our customer renewal rates, as well as the rate at which our customers expand their use of our Unified-CXM platform, may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the customers’ satisfaction with our Unified-CXM platform, defects or performance issues, our customer and product implementation and support, our prices, mergers and acquisitions affecting our customer base, the effects of global economic conditions, the entrance of new or competing technologies and the pricing of such competitive offerings or reductions in the enterprises’ spending levels for any reason. If our customers do not renew their subscriptions, renew on less favorable terms or reduce the scope of their subscriptions, our revenue may decline and we may not realize improved results of operations from our customer base, and, as a result, our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Previous wording

We recognize revenue over the term of our customers’ contracts. Consequently, increases or decreases in new sales may not be immediately reflected in our results of operations and may be difficult to discern.

Current wording

We generally recognize subscription revenue over the term of our customers’ contracts. Consequently, increases or decreases in new sales may not be immediately reflected in our results of operations and may be difficult to discern.

Previous wording

We generally recognize subscription revenue from customers ratably over the terms of their contracts and a majority of our revenue is derived from subscriptions that have terms of one to three years. As a result, because we recognize revenue ratably over the terms of our subscription contracts, a portion of the revenue we report in each quarter is derived from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to subscriptions entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any one period may not be immediately reflected as revenue for that period. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our Unified-CXM platform and potential changes in our pricing policies or rate of expansion or retention may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. For example, the impact of current economic uncertainties may cause customers to request better pricing, which may not be reflected immediately in our results of operations. Our subscription model also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new customers must be recognized over the applicable subscription tern. In addition, customers have in the past and may continue in the future to slow their rate of expansion or reduce their number of licenses. We also may be unable to reduce our cost structure in line with a significant deterioration in sales. In addition, a majority of our costs are expensed as incurred, while revenue is recognized over the term of the agreements with our customers. As a result, increased growth in the number of our customers could continue to result in our recognition of more costs than revenue in the earlier periods of the terms of our agreements.

As a result, a portion of the revenue we report on a quarterly basis is derived from the recognition of deferred revenue relating to subscriptions entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any one period may not be immediately reflected in our revenue for that period. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our Unified-CXM platform and potential changes in our pricing policies or rate of expansion or retention may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods.

Previous wording

To successfully execute our business strategy, we must attract and retain highly qualified talent. There is high competition for executive officers, software engineers, product managers, account executives, sales leaders and other key talent in our industry. In particular, we compete with many other companies for engineers with high levels of experience in designing, developing and managing cloud-based software, as well as for technical sales, operations and general leadership. In addition, we believe that the success of our business and corporate culture depends on employing people with a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and the competition for such diverse talent is significant. Many of the companies with which we compete for diverse and experienced talent have greater resources than we do and can frequently offer substantially greater compensation and benefits than we can offer, including, in some cases, large equity packages and cash-based awards. In addition, prospective and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our equity awards declines, including as a result of volatility or decline in the market price of our Class A common stock or changes in the perception about our future prospects, it may adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain highly qualified talent. In order to manage attrition, including as a result of recent decreases in our stock price and market volatility, we have issued, and may continue to issue, additional equity awards and increased cash compensation to attract and retain talent, which may impact results of operations or be dilutive to stockholders. We also face significant competition in hiring and attracting qualified talent in all aspects of our business, and the opportunity to work remotely or on a hybrid basis has also increased the competition for such talent. If we fail to attract new talent or fail to retain and motivate our current talent, our ability to maintain and grow our products and support our existing customers, attract new customers, respond to competitive pressures, and execute our business plan, would be at risk.

Current wording

To successfully execute our business strategy, we must attract and retain highly qualified talent. There is high competition for executive officers, software engineers, product managers, account executives, sales leaders, and other key talent in our industry. In particular, we compete with many other companies for engineers with high levels of experience in designing, developing, and managing AI-native, cloud-based software, as well as for technical sales, operations, and general leadership. In addition, we believe that the success of our business and corporate culture depends on employing people with a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and the competition for such diverse talent is significant. Many of the companies with which we compete for diverse and experienced talent have greater resources than we do and can frequently offer substantially greater compensation and benefits than we can offer, including, in some cases, large equity packages and cash-based awards. In addition, prospective and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our equity awards declines, including as a result of volatility or decline in the market price of our Class A common stock or changes in the perception about our future prospects, it may adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain highly qualified talent.

We rely on third-party cloud service providers, and any interruption or delay in service from them or their facilities could impair the delivery of our Unified-CXM platform and harm our business.

Previous wording

We currently serve our customers from third-party data centers and cloud computing providers located around the world. Some of these facilities are located in areas prone to natural disasters and may experience events such as earthquakes, floods, fires, severe weather events, power loss, computer or telecommunication failures, service outages or losses, and similar events. They also may be subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct or cybersecurity issues, including attacks enhanced or facilitated by artificial intelligence (“AI”), human error, terrorism, improper operation, unauthorized entry and data loss. In addition, our third-party data centers and cloud computing providers have experienced, and may in the future experience, interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions, and capacity constraints. Consequently, we may be subject to service disruptions, as well as failures to provide adequate support, for reasons that are outside of our direct control. Such service disruptions could result in interruptions to our services to customers or damage to, or loss or compromise of, our data and our customers’ data, including personal data. Any impairment of our or our customers’ data or interruptions in the functioning of our services due to interruptions, delays or outages in service from our third-party data centers and cloud computing providers may reduce our revenue, increase our operations costs, result in significant fines, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, subject us to claims for indemnification and other claims, litigation or disputes, result in regulatory investigations or other inquiries, cause our customers to terminate their subscriptions and adversely affect our reputation, renewal rates and our ability to attract new customers.

Previous wording

Our data center operations also rely heavily on the availability of electricity, which also comes from third-party providers. If we or the third-party data center and cloud computing provider facilities that we use to deliver our services were to experience a major power outage or if the cost of electricity were to increase significantly, our operations and financial results could be harmed. If we or our third-party data centers and cloud service provider facilities were to experience a major power outage, we or they would have to rely on back-up generators, which might not work properly or might not provide an adequate supply during a major power outage. Such a power outage could result in a significant disruption of our business. In the event of significant physical damage to one of these data centers, it may take a significant period of time to achieve full resumption of our services, and our disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. We also may incur significant costs for using alternative equipment or taking other actions in preparation for, or in reaction to, events that damage the data centers and equipment that we or the third parties with whom we work use. Although we carry business interruption insurance, it may not be sufficient to compensate us for the potentially significant losses, including the potential harm to the future growth of our business that may result from interruptions in our services or products.

As we grow and continue to add new third-party data centers and cloud computing providers and expand the capacity of our existing third-party data centers and cloud computing providers, we may move or transfer our data and our customers’ data. Despite precautions taken during this process, any unsuccessful data transfers may impair the delivery of our Unified-CXM platform. Any damage to, or failure of, our systems, or those of our third-party data centers or cloud computing providers or the systems of a customer that hosts our software in their private cloud, could result in interruptions on our Unified-CXM platform or damage to, or loss or compromise of, our data and our customers’ data, including personal data. Any impairment of our or our customers’ data or interruptions in the functioning of our Unified-CXM platform, whether due to damage to, or failure of, third-party data centers, cloud computing providers or the cloud computing providers of our customers or unsuccessful data transfers, may reduce our revenue, increase our operations costs, result in significant fines, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, subject us to claims for indemnification and other claims, litigation or disputes, result in regulatory investigations or other inquiries, cause our customers to terminate their subscriptions and adversely affect our reputation, renewal rates and our ability to attract new customers. Our business will also be harmed if our existing and potential customers believe that our Unified-CXM platform is unreliable or not secure.

Further, our leases and other agreements with data centers and cloud computing providers expire at various times, and the owners of our data center facilities and cloud computing providers have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, which exposes us to the potential for significant cost increases. Additionally, certain of our data center and cloud computing provider agreements may be terminable for convenience by the counterparty. If services are interrupted at any of these facilities or providers, such agreements are terminated, or we are unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or if one of our data center or cloud computing providers is acquired or encounters financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, we may be required to transfer our data, servers and other infrastructure to new data centers and cloud computing providers, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruptions in connection with doing so. In addition, if we do not accurately plan for our data center and cloud computing capacity requirements and we experience significant strains on our data center and cloud computing capacity, we may experience delays and additional expenses in arranging new data center and cloud computing arrangements, and our customers could experience service outages that may subject us to financial liabilities due to, for example, breach of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) or other commitments, result in customer losses and dissatisfaction, and materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt and innovate. To attract new customers and increase revenue from our existing customers, we will need to enhance and improve our existing platform and introduce new products, features and functionality. Enhancements and new products that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors or defects, and may have interoperability difficulties with our Unified-CXM platform or other products. Furthermore, while we generally expect that enhancements and improvements to our products will attract new customers, certain of our customer agreements restrict our ability to materially change the features and functionality of our products or may obligate us to specific configurations or requirements, including in some cases, prohibiting the use of AI or generative AI in our products, which could result in violations of those customer agreements, or increased operational difficulties and costs due to our need to deploy different version of our products to different customers, i.e., enable or disable certain features, or cause such customers not to renew their agreements (and therefore, loss in revenue from such customers) as a result of our new products, features, and functionality. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, delays in our planned release dates of new products, features and functionality, and there can be no assurance that these developments will be released according to schedule. We also have invested, and may continue to invest, in the acquisition of complementary businesses and technologies that we believe will enhance our Unified-CXM platform. If we are unable to successfully develop, release, acquire or integrate new products, features and functionality, or enhance our existing platform to meet the needs of our existing or potential customers in a timely and effective manner, or if a customer is not satisfied with the quality of work performed by us or with the technical support services rendered, our customers may delay or withhold payment to us, cancel their agreements with us, elect not to renew, or make service credit claims, warranty claims or other claims against us, and we could lose future sales. The occurrence of any of these events could result in diminishing demand for our solutions, a reduction in our revenues, an increase in our provision for credit losses or in collection cycles for accounts receivable or could cause us to incur the risk or expense of litigation.

We use artificial intelligence in our products and operations, which may result in operational challenges, legal liability, reputational concerns and competitive risks.

Current wording

We use AI in our products and operations, including agentic AI, which may result in operational challenges, legal liability, reputational concerns, and competitive risks.

Previous wording

We use AI tools in our business operations for internal and external uses. Specifically, our employees and personnel use AI technologies to support their work and our internal business operations, including, for example, to generate source code used in our products and systems. Output from generative AI may infringe on third-party intellectual property rights without us being aware. Moreover, advanced AI tools, which may produce content indistinguishable from that generated by humans, have a number of benefits, risks, and liabilities, some still unknown. Recent decisions of governmental entities and courts (such as the U.S. Copyright Office, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) interpret U.S. copyright and patent law as limited to protecting works and inventions created by human authors and inventors, respectively. We are therefore unlikely to be able to obtain U.S. copyright or patent protection for works or inventions wholly created by a generative AI tool, and our ability to obtain U.S. copyright and patent protection for source code, text, images, inventions, or other materials, which are developed with some use of AI tools, such as generative AI, may be limited, if available at all. Likewise, the availability of intellectual property protections in other countries is similarly unclear. Additionally, our use of third-party generative AI tools to develop source code, text, images, inventions, or other materials may expose us to greater risks than utilizing contracted human developers, as third-party generative AI vendors may not provide warranties or indemnities with respect to the output generated by such generative AI tools, and generative AI tools may also provide output that appears correct but is erroneous. Furthermore, while we have policies in place to facilitate the use of approved tools, some unapproved generative AI tools may be used under terms that do not protect the confidentiality of the prompts or inputs that users submit to such tools and may use prompts or inputs to train shared AI models, potentially resulting in third-party users receiving outputs containing information from prompts or inputs (including confidential, competitive, proprietary, or personal data) that we submitted to the tool.
