Refer to Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024 (“Annual Report”) for a full list of the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim periods and following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations.
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenue, and expenses. Significant items subject to such estimates, judgments, and assumptions include:
revenue recognition, including the determination of selling prices for distinct performance obligations sold in multiple performance obligation arrangements, the period over which revenue is recognized for certain arrangements, and estimated delivery dates for orders with title transfer upon delivery;
allowances for credit losses and product returns;
promotional and marketing allowances;
inventory valuation;
average useful customer life;
valuation of stock-based awards;
achievement of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”);
legal contingencies;
impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill;
valuation of convertible notes and embedded derivatives;
useful lives of long-lived assets; and
income taxes including valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 –Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The updates in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

- Represents less than 10%
Supplier Concentration
The Company currently relies on a single technology partner for its cloud platform and outsources the manufacturing of the Jiobit and Tile hardware devices to a single contract manufacturer. Although there are a limited number of suppliers, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar services on comparable terms.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investment securities with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include deposit and money market funds. Money market mutual funds are valued using quoted market prices and therefore are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Restricted Cash
The restricted cash, noncurrent balance of $1.2 million and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, relates to cash deposits restricted under letters of credit issued on behalf of the Company in support of indebtedness to trade creditors incurred in the ordinary course of business.
- Segment and Geographic Revenue
The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its chief executive officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. All material long-lived assets are based in the United States.

| Total revenue | $92,865 | $78,624 | $255,955 | $217,555 |
The Company’s revenues in the United States were $79.1 million, or 85%, of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $67.4 million, or 86%, of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s revenues in the United States were $221.4 million, or 86%, of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $188.5 million, or 87%, of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
- Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists primarily of payments received and accounts receivable recorded in advance of revenue recognition under the Company’s subscription service arrangements and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria is met. The Company primarily invoices its customers for its subscription services arrangements in advance. Amounts anticipated to be recognized within one year of the balance sheet date are recorded as deferred revenue, current and the remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, noncurrent on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $5.0 million and $31.2 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $3.5 million and $23.4 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022
Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of contracted future revenue not yet recognized as the amounts relate to undelivered performance obligations, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Revenue expected to be recognized in connection with remaining performance obligations was $218.9 million as of September 30, 2024, of which the Company expects 34% to be recognized over the next twelve months.
- Costs Capitalized to Obtain Contracts
The Company recognizes as an asset the costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover those costs and they are both direct and incremental. These costs are attributable to the Company’s largest Channel Partners.
Costs of obtaining new revenue contracts are deferred and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the related period of benefit, which is estimated to betwo tothree years depending on the subscription type.
The following table represents a roll forward of the Company’s costs capitalized to obtain contracts, net (in thousands):

- Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets at fair value each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of inputs which may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology and including data about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.
The Company measures and reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are classified as follows (in thousands):

From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made, and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

Litigation
Occasionally, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is inherently uncertain, though the Company intends to vigorously defend the matters. In making a determination regarding accruals, using available information, the Company evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to which the Company is a party and records a loss contingency when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the Company determines an unfavorable outcome is not probable or reasonably estimable the Company does not accrue for any potential litigation loss. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from the Company’s estimates.

- Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for interim quarterly reporting periods is based on the Company's estimates of the effective tax rates for the full fiscal year, in accordance with ASC 740-270, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting. ASC 740-270-25-2 requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and such annual effective rate be applied to year to date income/loss in interim periods. The effective tax rate in any quarter may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may positively or negatively affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax position, if any, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business. In accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, research and experimental (“R&E”) expenses under Internal Revenue Code Section 174 are required to be capitalized beginning in 2022. R&E expenses are required to be amortized over a period of five years for domestic expenses and fifteen years for foreign expenses. The Company has capitalized R&E expenditures in its income tax provision. This is a driver for the annual estimated income tax rate used to calculate the provision for income taxes.

| Basic | $0.10 | $(0.10) | $(0.18) | $(0.38) |
| Diluted | $0.09 | $(0.10) | $(0.18) | $(0.38) |
Certain potential shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. Excluded shares are as follows:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
