Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 1:-GENERAL
Varonis Systems, Inc. ("VSI" and together with its subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company” or "Varonis") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 3, 2004, commenced operations on January 1, 2005 and hassixteen wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company's software specializes in data security, threat detection and response and data privacy and compliance. Varonis software enables enterprises of all sizes and industries to protect data stored in the cloud and on-premises including: sensitive files and emails; confidential personal data belonging to customers, patients and employees; financial records; source code, strategic and product plans; and other intellectual property. Recognizing the challenge of protecting data with growing volume, velocity, and variety, the Company has built an integrated platform to simplify and streamline data security, threat detection and response, and data privacy and compliance.
The Company offers coverage for most mission-critical cloud and on-premises data stores and cloud infrastructure environments, and many critical SaaS applications. In 2022, Varonis announced the availability of its flagship Varonis Data Security Platform as a SaaS solution, which offers simpler deployment, faster time-to-value, and new automation capabilities that help customers prevent data breaches.
The Varonis Data Security Platform helps enterprises protect data against cyberattacks from both external and internal threats. The Company's products enable enterprises to analyze data, application and account activity and user and AI-related behavior to detect and prevent attacks. Its software platform prevents or limits unauthorized use of sensitive information, detects and prevents potential cyberattacks and limits potential damage by automatically locking down data, allowing access to only those who need it and automating the removal of stale data when it is no longer useful.
Customers rely on the Company's technology to achieve three board-level outcomes: preventing data breaches, complying with data-related regulations and enabling secure AI usage. Within each of these major areas, Varonis enables numerous use cases. These use cases include: automatic discovery and classification of high-risk, sensitive data, emails and databases; AI-readiness; data security posture management (DSPM); database activity monitoring ("DAM"); SaaS security posture management; automated remediation of over-exposed data; centralized visibility and risk analysis of enterprise data and monitoring of user behavior and file, e-mail and AI-related activity; security monitoring and risk reduction; data breach, insider threat, malware, ransomware and phishing detection with Managed Data Detection and Response ("MDDR"); automatic response to ransomware and other severe incidents to limit exposure and reduce recovery times; data ownership identification, assignment, and automatic involvement; forensics, reporting and auditing with searchable logs; meeting security policy and compliance regulation; automatic data migration; cloud migration; automation of retention and disposition policies; automatic data quarantine; intelligent archiving; and automated indexing for data subject requests related to privacy and compliance requirements.
NOTE 2:-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), applied on a consistent basis, as follows:
| a. | Financial Statements in U.S. Dollars: |
|---|
Most of the Company's revenues and costs are denominated in United States dollars (“dollars”). Some of the subsidiaries’ revenues and costs are incurred in Euros, the Pound Sterling, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Singapore dollars and New Israeli Shekels ("NIS"); however, the Company’s management believes that the dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which it and each of its subsidiaries operate. Thus, the dollar is the Company’s functional and reporting currency.
Accordingly, transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured to the functional currency in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction or the average exchange rate in the quarter. At the end of each reporting period, financial assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-financial assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses related to remeasurement are recorded as financial income, net in the consolidated statements of operations as appropriate.
| b. | Principles of Consolidation: |
|---|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VSI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
| c. | Use of Estimates: |
|---|
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company’s management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company’s management evaluates estimates, including those related to evaluation of the standalone selling price of term license subscriptions, accounts receivable credit loss allowance, fair values of stock-based awards, deferred taxes and income tax uncertainties, and contingent liabilities. Such estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
| d. | Cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Short-Term Investments: |
|---|
The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities in accordance with ASC No. 320, “Investments—Debt Securities” and ASC No. 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses.” The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, highly liquid investments in money market funds and other securities.
The Company considers all investments and marketable securities purchased with maturities at the date of purchase of less than one year to be short-term. Investments and marketable securities purchased with maturities at the date of purchase greater than one year are classified as long-term assets, until the maturity date is in less than one year, at which point they are reclassified as short-term assets. Marketable securities are classified as available for sale debt securities and are, therefore, recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, with any unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, until realized. Realized gains and losses are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in financial income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included as a component of financial income, net in the consolidated statement of operations. Cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term deposits consist of the following (in thousands):
| As of December 31, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AmortizedCost | GrossUnrealizedGains | GrossUnrealizedLosses | FairValue | |
| Cash equivalents | ||||
| Money market funds | $120,155 | $— | $— | $120,155 |

| US Treasury securities | $661,955 | $104 | $(3,163) | $658,896 |
| Total | $661,955 | $104 | $(3,163) | $658,896 |
Unrealized losses associated with investments in available for sale securities have all been in a continuous unrealized loss position of less than one year as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The gross unrealized gains and losses related to these investments were due primarily to changes in interest rates. If the amortized cost of an individual security exceeds its fair value, the Company considers its intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized basis. If either of these criteria are met, then impairment is recorded to the fair value of the security. If neither of these criteria are met, the securities are assessed using the credit losses model for marketable securities to determine what portion of that difference, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on available for sale debt securities are recognized in financial income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize impairment or an allowance for credit losses on available for sale marketable securities.
A short-term bank deposit is a deposit with a maturity of more than three months but less than one year. These deposits bore interest at rates ranging from 4.23% -4.55%, per annum, as of December 31, 2025 and rates of 4.34% -5.24%, per annum, as of December 31, 2024. Short-term deposits are presented at cost which approximates fair value due to their short maturities.
| e. | Concentration of Credit Risks: |
|---|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, short-term deposits and trade receivables.
The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and short-term deposits are invested in major banks mainly in the United States but also in France, Israel, the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, Ireland, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and India. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions and monitors the amount of credit exposure to each financial institution.
Trade receivables are recorded when the right to consideration is unconditional. The Company’s trade receivables are geographically diversified and derived primarily from sales through a network of distributors and value-added resellers (VAR) mainly in the United States and Europe, and to a lesser extent, in Asia. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited by credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and establishes an allowance for credit losses based upon a review of all significant outstanding invoices, historical collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic and market conditions. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient and assumed that current conditions as of the balance sheet date would not change for the remaining life of the assets. The Company writes off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible and having exhausted all collection efforts.
| f. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments: |
|---|
Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.
A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade receivables, short-term deposits and trade payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
| g. | Property and Equipment: |
|---|
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:
| Computer equipment | 33% | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Office furniture and equipment | 14% | — | 15% |
| Leasehold improvements | Over the shorter of the expected leaseterm or estimated useful life |
| h. | Capitalized Internal-use Software Development Costs: |
|---|
The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal-use software in accordance with ASC No. 350-40, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software." These capitalized costs are related to the Company's SaaS platform. Costs incurred in the preliminary and post-implementation stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once internal-use software has reached the application development stage, direct internal and external costs are capitalized until the internal-use software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets. Management tests these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact recoverability of these assets. As of December 31, 2025, all capitalized internal-use software development assets were in the application development stage, as such, no amortization has been recorded in the consolidated statements of operations related to these assets andno impairment has been recorded.
| i. | Leases: |
|---|
The Company has various operating leases for office space and vehicles. The lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Some leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company's sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options, and, when it is reasonably certain of exercise, it will include the renewal period in its lease term. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. In addition, some of the real estate leases contain variable lease payments, including payments based on a Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Variable lease payments based on a CPI are initially measured using the index in effect at lease commencement. Additional payments based on the change in a CPI are recorded as a period expense when incurred. Further, as the implicit rate of the leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less and it does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for these leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all its leases.
| j. | Business Combinations: |
|---|
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of the purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company makes estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The Company's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from such estimates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
| k. | Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets, including Acquired Intangible Assets and Right-of-Use Assets: |
|---|
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration in a business combination over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually or more often if circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company operates asone reporting segment, which consists of a single reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the Company's reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. During the periods presented, no impairment of goodwill has been recorded.
Acquired intangible assets consist of identifiable intangible assets, including developed technology, customer relationships and non-compete agreements, resulting from business combinations. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization expense of the acquired intangible assets are recorded within cost of revenues and sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets (or asset group) to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the periods presented, no impairment of long-lived assets has been recorded.
| l. | Long-Term Lease Deposits: |
|---|
Long-term lease deposits include long-term deposits for offices.
| m. | Contractual Purchase Obligations and Contingent Liabilities: |
|---|
Contractual Purchase Obligations
The Company has contractual minimum purchase commitments with service providers through August 31, 2027, October 31, 2028 and May 31, 2031. These commitments total $4,892, $2,505 and $23,872 due within the next 12 months, respectively and $10,500, $3,820, and $377,620 (with no specified annual commitments), respectively, due thereafter.
Contingent Liabilities
The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC No. 450 “Contingencies.” A provision is recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. From time to time, the Company is involved in claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. The Company investigates these claims as they arise and legal provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Although claims are inherently unpredictable, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was not a party to any litigation that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows.
On January 7, 2026, the Company and certain officers of the Company were named as defendants in a putative securities class action captioned, Molchanov v. Varonis Systems, Inc. et al, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that defendants made misrepresentations or omissions in its public disclosures about the Company’s expected annual recurring revenue for fiscal year 2025 and the Company’s ability to convert existing self-hosted customers to its SaaS offering, between February 4, 2025 and July 29, 2025, in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and further alleges that certain officers are liable as control persons under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks monetary damages. The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to defend the action vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company can neither predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation nor estimate any range of possible losses.
| n. | Revenue Recognition: |
|---|
The Company generates revenues primarily in the form of SaaS revenues, term license subscriptions and maintenance and services fees. SaaS revenues, including SaaS with MDDR, are provided on a subscription basis and allow customers to use hosted software. Over the last few years, the Company has introduced new products and support for cloud applications and infrastructure environments, including the Varonis Data Security Platform delivered as a SaaS solution, which was previously only sold as a self-hosted solution. Term license subscription revenues are sold on-premises and are comprised of time-based licenses whereby customers use the Company's software (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available) for a specified period. Maintenance and services primarily consist of fees for maintenance of past perpetual license sales (including support and unspecified upgrades and enhancements when and if they are available), although the user can benefit from the software without its assistance. The Company sells its products worldwide through a network of distributors and value-added resellers and payment is typically due within 30 to 60 calendar days of the invoice date.
The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” As such, the Company identifies a contract with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract and recognizes revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the associated contract period, as this service has a consistent and continuous pattern of transfer to a customer during the contract period, beginning when access is provided and the benefit of the service is available. Conversions from a license sold on-premises to the Company’s SaaS offering during the original subscription period are accounted for on a prospective basis.
Term license subscription software sold on-premises is recognized at the point in time when the software license has been delivered and the benefit of the asset has transferred. Maintenance associated with term license subscription software is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement since these services have a consistent continuous pattern of transfer to a customer during the contract period, and is included within the term license subscriptions line of the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company recognizes revenues from maintenance agreements ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance contract, as these services have a consistent continuous pattern of transfer to a customer during the contract period, which is usuallyone year.
The Company enters into contracts that can include combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. SaaS, term license subscriptions (including maintenance associated with term license subscriptions) and maintenance and services are generally distinct since the customer can benefit from the products and services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available and the promise to transfer these products and services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price out of the total consideration of the contract. For software licenses and maintenance included in term license subscriptions, the Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the price at which it separately sells maintenance renewals for past perpetual licenses.
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. In instances of contracts where revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company generally determined that those contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company's solutions, not to receive or provide financing. The Company uses the practical expedient and does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and revenue recognition is a year or less. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to the tax authorities.
Deferred revenues represent mostly unrecognized fees billed or collected for SaaS and maintenance contracts. Deferred revenues are recognized as (or when) the Company performs its obligations under the contract. Pursuant to these contracts, customers are generally invoiced on an annual basis. The amount of revenues recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenues balance was $286,331 for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Revenues allocated to remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenues that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenues and non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced in the future. The Company's remaining performance obligations were $1,096,662 as of December 31, 2025, of which it expects to recognize approximately 54% as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.
For information regarding disaggregated revenues, refer to Note 14.
| o. | Contract Costs: |
|---|
The Company pays sales commissions to sales and marketing and certain management personnel based on their attainment of certain predetermined sales goals. The Company capitalizes sales commissions earned by employees that are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Incremental sales commissions paid for initial contracts, which are not commensurate with sales commissions paid for renewal contracts, are capitalized and amortized over an expected period of benefit. Based on its technology, customer contracts and other factors, the Company has determined the expected period of benefit to be approximately four years. Incremental sales commissions which are commensurate, are capitalized and amortized over the related contractual period and aligned with revenue recognized from these contracts. Amortization expenses related to these costs are included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred sales commissions in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were $97,020 and $57,047 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization expense was $51,920, $54,392 and $53,072 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
| p. | Cost of Revenues: |
|---|
Cost of revenues consist primarily of salaries (including payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation), employee benefits (including commissions and bonuses) and stock-based compensation for the Company's customer support, customer success, MDDR and services employees; amortization of certain acquired intangible assets; third-party hosting fees; travel expenses; and allocated overhead costs for facilities, IT and depreciation.
| q. | Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation: |
|---|
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” The Company grants restricted stock units which are generally subject to a service-based vesting condition. For restricted stock units, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the equity award granted, and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In addition, the Company grants performance stock units which are generally subject to both a service-based vesting condition and a performance-based vesting condition. The number of performance stock units earned and eligible to vest are generally determined after a one-year performance period. For performance stock units, stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the graded vesting method over the requisite service period for each separately-vesting tranche of the award when it is probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. Compensation expense for performance stock units with financial performance measures is measured using the fair value at the date of grant and recorded over each vesting period, and may be adjusted over the vesting period based on interim estimates of performance against the pre-set objectives. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur for all stock-based awards.
| r. | Research and Development Costs: |
|---|
Research and development costs are charged to the statement of operations as incurred. ASC No. 985-20, “Software-Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed,” requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility.
Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. The Company does not incur material costs between the completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release. Therefore, research and development costs are charged to the statement of operations as incurred, except for certain internal-use software development costs that are capitalized.
| s. | Income Taxes: |
|---|
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740, using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax basis for assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely-than-not to be realized.
ASC No. 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring a liability for uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax provisions in its taxes on income.
| t. | Derivative Instruments: |
|---|
The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative instruments is to reduce its exposure to foreign currency rate changes. The Company reduces its exposure by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts with respect to revenues and operating expenses that are forecasted to be incurred in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A majority of the Company’s revenues and operating expenses are transacted in U.S. dollars; however, certain revenues and operating expenses are incurred in or exposed to other currencies, specifically, the Euro and Pound Sterling for revenues and the New Israeli Shekel, Euro and Pound Sterling for operating expenses.
The Company has established forecasted transaction currency risk management programs to protect against the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in exchange rates. The Company’s currency risk management program includes forward foreign exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges. These forward foreign exchange contracts generally mature within periods of up to 24 months. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Derivative instruments measured at fair value and their classification in the consolidated balance sheets are presented in the following table (in thousands):

| u. | Retirement and Severance Pay: |
|---|
VSI and Varonis U.S. Public Sector LLC ("VPS") make available to its employees a retirement plan (the “U.S. Plan”) that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Participants in the U.S. Plan may elect to defer a portion of their pre-tax earnings, up to the Internal Revenue Service annual contribution limit. VSI and VPS match 100% of each participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 3% of the participant’s total pay and 50% of each participant’s contributions on contributions between 3% and 5% of the participant’s total pay. Each participant may contribute up to 80% of total remuneration up to the Internal Revenue Service’s annual contribution limit. Contributions to the U.S. Plan are recorded during the year contributed as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Varonis Systems Ltd ("VSL") makes available to its employees, pursuant to Israel’s Severance Pay Law, severance pay equal to one month’s salary for each year of employment, or a portion thereof. The employees of the Israeli subsidiary elected to be included under section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963 (“section 14”). According to this section, these employees are entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in their name with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments (under the above Israeli Severance Pay Law) in respect of those employees; therefore, related assets and liabilities are not presented in the balance sheet.
The Company’s liability for severance pay for the employees of its French subsidiary is calculated pursuant to French law, according to which French employees are entitled to an indemnity (a statutory redundancy). The law provides for the payment of severance payment to any employee working for the French subsidiary for at least a year.
In addition, the Company also makes available pension plans to employees of other subsidiaries in which it operates. Total expenses related to retirement and severance pay amounted to $16,823, $13,774 and $11,707 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The amount of severance payable included in other liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is $3,012 and $2,952, respectively.
| v. | Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share: |
|---|
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and the shares related to the conversion of the 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes issued by the Company on May 11, 2020 and matured August 15, 2025 in an aggregate principal amount of $253,000 (the "2025 Notes") and the 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes issued by the Company on September 10, 2024 and due September 15, 2029 in an aggregate principal amount of $460,000 (the "2029 Notes" and, together with the 2025 Notes, the "Notes"), to the extent dilutive.
Basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for each period presented as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. There were 8,562,690,7,645,858 and 8,824,701 potentially dilutive shares from the conversion of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units that were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the years ending December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally,6,781,660 shares underlying the conversion option of the 2029 Notes for the year ending December 31, 2025,14,971,860 shares underlying the conversion of the Notes for the year ending December 31, 2024 and 8,239,254 shares underlying the conversion option of the 2025 Notes for the year ending December 31, 2023, were not considered in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

|---|
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) -Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 during the year ended December 31, 2025, on a prospective basis, which resulted in updated income tax disclosures. See Note 12 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) -Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU provides a practical expedient to measure credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets under ASC No. 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The practical expedient assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. For public business entities, ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption of ASU 2025-05 is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 during the year ended December 31, 2025, on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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 was updated to consider different methods of software development and requires internal use software costs to be capitalized when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and when significant uncertainty associated with the development of the software has been resolved. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either through a prospective, retrospective or a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) -Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU was updated to improve the navigability of the required interim disclosures within ASC No. 270 and to clarify when the guidance applies. This ASU is not intended to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either through a prospective or retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 6:-LEASES
The Company has various operating leases for office space and vehicles that expire through 2035. The lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Below is a summary of the Company's operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities (in thousands):
| December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Operating lease right-of-use assets | $57,677 |
| Operating lease liabilities, current | $9,739 |
| Operating lease liabilities, long-term | 59,749 |
| Total operating lease liabilities | $69,488 |
Operating lease liabilities, current are included within accrued expenses and other short-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
Some leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is typically at the Company's sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company's right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options, and, when it is reasonably certain of exercise, it will include the renewal period in its lease term. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Some of the real estate leases contain variable lease payments, including payments based on a CPI. Variable lease payments based on a CPI are initially measured using the index in effect at lease commencement. Additional payments based on the change in a CPI are recorded as a period expense when incurred.
The Company has deposit guarantees issued by a financial institution to secure various operating lease agreements in connection with its office space.
Minimum lease payments for the Company's right-of-use assets over the remaining lease periods as of December 31, 2025, are as follows (in thousands):

The net proceeds to the Company after issuance costs were approximately $245,158. The Company used $29,348 of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below.
The 2025 Notes were settled prior to or on their maturity date of August 15, 2025 in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Indenture. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received and settled conversion notices from holders of $251,439. The unconverted principal of the 2025 Notes and the accrued interest due at maturity were settled in cash.
2029 Notes
The Company issued the 2029 Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated September 10, 2024 (the “2029 Indenture”). The offering totaled $460,000 aggregate principal amount. The net proceeds to the Company after issuance costs were approximately $449,649. The Company used $55,522 of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below.
The 2029 Notes will mature on September 15, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2025, at a rate of 1.00% per year.
The initial conversion rate for the 2029 Notes is 14.7419 shares of the Company’s common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $67.83 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in specified events. The 2029 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of a holder, prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2029, only under the following circumstances:
(1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
(2) during thefive consecutive business day period immediately after anyfive consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the 2029 Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes, as determined following a request by a holder of the 2029 Notes in the manner described in the 2029 Indenture, for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
(3) if the Company calls any or all of the 2029 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
(4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events specified in the 2029 Indenture.
In addition, on or after March 15, 2029, a holder may convert all or any portion of its 2029 Notes at any time.

In accordance with ASC No. 470, "Debt", the Company accounts for the 2029 Notes as a single liability measured at amortized cost. The carrying value of the liability is represented by the face amount of the 2029 Notes, less debt issuance costs. The total offering costs upon issuance of the 2029 Notes are amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2029 Notes, using the effective interest rate method.
The net carrying amount of the Notes were as follows (in thousands):
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Notes | 2029 Notes | Total | 2025 Notes | 2029 Notes | Total | |

The effective interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 1.86% and 1.46% for the 2025 and 2029 Notes, respectively. The interest expense recognized related to the Notes for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (in thousands):
| Year ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Notes | 2029 Notes | Total | |

| Amortization of debt issuance costs | 1,514 | — | 1,514 |
| Total | $4,677 | $— | $4,677 |
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total estimated fair value of the 2029 Notes was approximately $429,028 and $431,851, respectively. The fair values were determined based on the closing trading price per $100 of the 2029 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. The fair value of the 2029 Notes is primarily affected by the trading price of the Company's common stock and market interest rates. The fair value of the 2029 Notes is considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data.
Capped Call Transactions
In May 2020 and September 2024, in connection with the pricing of the 2025 and 2029 Notes, respectively, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”). The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $47.24 and $104.36, for the 2025 and 2029 Notes, respectively.
The Capped Call Transactions are considered a freestanding instrument in accordance with ASC No. 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity", as they were entered into separately and apart from the Notes and since the conversion or redemption of the Notes does not automatically result in the exercise of the Capped Call Transactions. As the Capped Call Transactions are considered indexed to the Company's stock and are considered equity classified, they are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of the Capped Call Transactions for the 2025 and 2029 Notes were approximately $29,348 and $55,522, respectively, and were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
In connection with the maturity of the 2025 Notes, the capped call transactions entered into in May 2020 were exercised and net share settled. The Company received and subsequently retired 2,604,434 shares of its common stock.
NOTE 8:-BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Cyral, Inc. ("Cyral")
On March 17, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the share capital of Cyral, a provider of DAM software that uses agentless and stateless interception technology, which has been combined with the Company's database security capabilities. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC No. 805, "Business Combinations." The transaction price was for $25,486 in cash and comprised of the fair value of total consideration transferred ("Purchase Price") and an aggregate conditional consideration of $2,435, subject to employee retention and potential indemnification claims. From the purchase price, $3,502 was held back for potential indemnification claims. The conditional consideration is recorded as research and development compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition is not finalized as of December 31, 2025, and is subject to adjustment as the Company completes the valuation analysis of the acquisition. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands, except useful life):
| Purchase Price Allocation | Estimated Weighted Average Useful Life (in years) | |
|---|---|---|
| Net tangible assets acquired | $396 | |
| Developed technology intangible asset | 5,900 | 9 |
| Non-compete intangible asset | 40 | 3 |
| Goodwill | 16,715 | |
| Total purchase price | $23,051 |
The fair value of the developed technology intangible asset of $5,900 was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method, which utilizes assumptions including projected future revenue generated from the acquired developed technology, projected profit margin, discount rate, and the technology obsolescence curve. The excess of the purchase price and liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company believes the goodwill represents the synergies expected from expanded market opportunities when integrating the business with the Company's offerings. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.
Acquisition-related costs of $662 are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The pro forma results of operations related to this acquisition have not been disclosed, as they are immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
SlashNext, Inc. ("SlashNext")
On August 28, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the share capital of SlashNext, an AI-native email security provider that detects advanced phishing and social engineering attacks, which, together with MDDR, has been integrated with the Company's technology platform. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC No. 805, "Business Combinations." The transaction price was for $105,953 in cash and comprised of the fair value of total consideration transferred and an aggregate conditional consideration of $4,662, subject to employee retention, along with the settlement of a $4,156 pre-existing relationship. The conditional consideration is recorded as research and development compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition is not finalized as of December 31, 2025, and is subject to adjustment as the Company completes the valuation analysis of the acquisition. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands, except useful life):
| Purchase Price Allocation | Estimated Weighted Average Useful Life (in years) | |
|---|---|---|
| Net tangible assets (liabilities) acquired | $(1,779) | |
| Developed technology intangible asset | 8,400 | 7 |
| Customer relationship intangible asset | 3,400 | 10 |
| Goodwill | 95,426 | |
| Total purchase price | $105,447 |
The fair values of the developed technology and customer relationship intangible assets were estimated using the following methods, respectively (including valuation assumptions): relief from royalty (projected future revenue generated from the acquired developed technology, royalty and discount rates and the technology obsolescence curve) and the multi-period excess earnings method (projected future revenue generated from the acquired customers, projected profit margin, discount rate and the customer survival curve). The excess of the purchase price and liabilities assumed over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The Company believes the goodwill represents the synergies expected from expanded market opportunities when integrating the business with the Company's offerings. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs of $1,469 are included in general and administrative and research and development expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The pro forma results of operations related to this acquisition have not been disclosed, as they are immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 9:-GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. The Company believes the goodwill represents the synergies expected from expanded market opportunities when integrating with its offerings.
All goodwill balances are subject to annual goodwill impairment testing. As of December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that no impairment for goodwill was required. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2025 is due to the Cyral and SlashNext acquisitions. For additional information regarding the acquisitions, see Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements. There were no additions or any other changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following table reflects goodwill activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Balance at December 31, 2024 | $23,135 |
| Goodwill acquired | 112,141 |
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | $135,276 |

NOTE 10:-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company evaluates assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level to classify them for each reporting period. There have been no transfers between fair value measurement levels during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, short-term deposits and trade payables approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

NOTE 12:-INCOME TAXES
| a. | U.S. Tax Reform: |
|---|
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") was signed into law. The TCJA makes broad and complex changes to the Code that impact the Company's provision for income taxes. The changes include, but are not limited to:
Decreasing the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 (“Rate Reduction”); and
Taxation of GILTI earned by foreign subsidiaries beginning after December 31, 2017. The GILTI tax imposes a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations.
Beginning in 2022, the TCJA requires taxpayers to capitalize specified research and development expenses with amortization periods over five and fifteen years, which has increased the Company's tax liability in the U.S. As the Company has a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, including capitalized research and development costs, the taxable income in the United States has increased to account for the capitalization of research and development costs starting in 2022.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") entered into effect. This legislation introduces several measures, including provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenses and certain capital expenditures, as well as changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions that became effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027.
Effective in July 2025, the TCJA, as revised by the OBBBA, requires all U.S. companies to capitalize and subsequently amortize specified research and development expenses over fifteen years for research and development activities conducted outside of the U.S.
GILTI Tax
Certain income (i.e., GILTI) earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder. GILTI is the excess of the shareholder’s “net CFC tested income” over the net deemed tangible income return.
For 2025, the Company is subject to tax on account of GILTI as it has net CFC tested income on an aggregated basis. The resulting tax liability is not significant due to utilization of carried forward net operating loss ("NOL") and research and development tax credits.
Accounting for the TCJA and OBBBA
The Company accounted for the tax impact related to the TCJA and believes its analysis to be completed. The Company recognizes that the IRS is continuing to publish and finalize ongoing guidance which may modify accounting interpretation for the TCJA. The Company would look to account for these impacts in the period of such change is enacted.
The Company accounted for the tax impact related to the OBBBA for legislation that was effective in 2025 and these matters did not have a material effect on the Company's effective tax rate. The Company recognizes that additional legislation becomes effective after 2025 and that the IRS is continuing to publish and finalize ongoing guidance which may modify accounting interpretation for the OBBBA. The Company would look to account for these impacts when effective and in the period of such change is enacted.
| b. | The Company: |
|---|
The Company is taxed in accordance with U.S. tax laws.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had gross federal NOL carry-forwards of approximately $211,483, of which $1,435 can be carried forward until December 31, 2037 and can fully offset taxable income, while $210,049 of which can be carried forward indefinitely but can only be used to offset 80% of taxable income. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had NOL carry-forwards for state and foreign income tax purposes of approximately $182,043 and $84,605, respectively. State NOL carry-forwards of $148,154 expire between 2027-2044 and the remainder do not expire. Foreign NOL carry-forwards do not expire. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal research credit carryforwards of approximately $10,533. If not utilized, the federal tax carryforwards will begin to expire in 2041.
A U.S. corporation's ability to utilize its federal and state NOL and tax credit carryforwards to offset its taxable income is limited under Section 382 and Section 383 of the Code if the corporation undergoes an ownership change (within the meaning of Code Section 382). In general, an “ownership change” occurs whenever the percentage of the stock of a corporation owned by “5-percent shareholders” (within the meaning of Code Section 382) increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of the stock of such corporation owned by such “5-percent shareholders” at any time over the testing period.
An ownership change within the meaning of Code Section 382 would establish an annual limitation to the amount of federal and state NOL and tax credit carryforwards the Company could utilize to offset its taxable income or income tax in any single year. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of state net operating losses and federal and state credits before utilization and in the event we have a change of ownership, utilization of the carryforwards could be restricted.

| e. | Deferred income taxes: |
|---|
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company’s deferred tax assets are derived from its U.S. NOL carry-forwards and other temporary differences.
ASC No. 740 requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence concerning the realizability of deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction. After considering evidence such as current and cumulative financial reporting incomes, the expected sources of future taxable income and tax planning strategies, the Company’s management concluded that a valuation allowance is required in the United States and some foreign jurisdictions. A net deferred tax liability of $700 was recorded as of December 31, 2025. Future changes in these factors, including the Company’s anticipated results, could have a significant impact on the realization of the deferred tax assets which would result in an increase or decrease to the valuation allowance and a corresponding charge to income tax expense. The Company reevaluates the judgements surrounding its estimates and makes adjustments as appropriate each reporting period.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows (in thousands):
| December 31, | ||

|---|
| Gross unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2024 | $25,193 |
|---|---|
| Increase in tax position for current year | 10,487 |

The Company includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The total amount of interest and penalties is approximately $5,009 as of December 31, 2025, which is included in the table above.
| h. | Foreign taxation: |
|---|
- Israeli tax benefits under the Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, 1959 (the “Investment Law”):
VSL has utilized various benefits under the Investment Law. Those benefits relate only to taxable income attributable to the specific investment program and are conditioned upon meeting the terms stipulated in the Investment Law, the related regulations and the applicable certificate of approval. If VSL does not fulfill these conditions, in whole or in part, the benefits will most likely be cancelled, and VSL may be required to refund the benefits, in an amount linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest.
If cash dividends are distributed out of tax-exempt profits in a manner other than upon complete liquidation, VSL will then become liable for tax at the rate of 10% -25% (depending on the level of foreign investments in VSL) in respect of the amount distributed.
- Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries:
In general, it is the Company’s practice and intention to reinvest the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. Undistributed earnings, if any, of foreign subsidiaries are immaterial for all periods presented. Because the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary earnings have previously been included in the computation of the one-time Transition Tax on foreign earnings required by the TCJA and throughout the years have been included in the GILTI computations, any additional taxes due with respect to such earnings or the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of its foreign investments would generally be limited to foreign withholding taxes and/or U.S. state income taxes.
| i. | Tax assessments: |
|---|
As of December 31, 2025, the Company's federal tax returns for the years 2010 through the current period, excluding the 2016 tax year which was audited by the Internal Revenue Service, and most state tax returns for the years 2009 through the current period, are still open to examination. The Company remains open to examination to the extent net carry-over unused operating losses and tax credit attributable to those years remain unutilized.
The Israeli Tax Authority is conducting an income tax audit for the years 2020-2023 and a value added tax audit for the years 2020-2025. In early 2026, New York state initiated a corporate income tax audit for the years 2022-2024.
