- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2026 (the "Form 10-K"). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including certain notes required by GAAP on an annual reporting basis.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the interim periods. The results for the three months ended April 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter, the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027, or any other period.
The following accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the Company's significant accounting policies as described in the Form 10-K.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquiree, to be measured at their fair values, as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.
The determination of fair value requires management to make significant estimates, particularly with respect to intangible assets. These estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to change as additional information is obtained during the measurement period, which lasts for up to one year from the acquisition date. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See Note 4 "Business Combinations" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of those financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the standalone selling prices of performance obligations, the incremental borrowing rate associated with lease liabilities, the useful life of capitalized costs to obtain revenue contracts, income taxes including tax-related valuation allowances, the valuation and assumptions underlying stock-based compensation, the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities from business combinations, contingent consideration, as well as the fair value of acquiree exchanged stock-based compensation awards, and useful lives and recoverability of intangible assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial position and results of operations.
Segment Information
The Company is the provider of the platform and operates asone operating segment. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM of the Company is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates the Company's financial information, resources and performance on a consolidated basis. Since the Company operates asone operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Certain financial instruments that could be exposed to a concentration of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company deposits its cash with financial institutions, and such deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents to date. Collateral is not required for accounts receivable. As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The updated standard is effective for the Company's annual periods beginning in fiscal 2028 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2029. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 is required to be applied prospectively, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
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, which removes all references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40 and clarifies the thresholds companies apply to begin capitalizing costs. The updated standard is effective for the Company's interim and annual periods beginning in fiscal 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-06.
- Revenue
Performance Obligations
The Company has identified that it hastwo distinct performance obligations: subscription and associated support to the Company's platform and professional services. The Company's revenue is predominantly related to its subscription and associated support to the Company's platform. Professional services revenue accounted for approximately 6% and 7% of the Company's total revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Geographic Region
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by geographic region, as it believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Revenue by geographic region is determined based on the region of the Company's contracting entity, which may be different than the region of its customers. The following table presents the Company's revenue by geographic region:
| Three months ended April 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
| North America | $87,618 | $88,850 |
| International | 20,299 | 20,633 |
| Total revenue | $107,917 | $109,483 |
North America revenue is attributable to the United States. International revenue is predominantly attributable to European countries, but also includes Japan.
For both the three months ended April 30, 2026 and April 30, 2025, the Company's revenue attributable to the United States represented 81% of total revenue, revenue attributable to the United Kingdom, which serves as the Company's main contracting entity for Europe, represented 18% of total revenue, and no other individual country represented more than 10% of total revenue.
Contract Assets
The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to being billed. Contract assets were $6.1 million as of April 30, 2026 and $4.5 million as of January 31, 2026. Contract assets are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Contract Liabilities
A contract liability is an obligation to transfer goods or services for which consideration has been received or is due to a customer. The Company's contract liabilities consist primarily of unearned revenue and, to a lesser extent, customer deposits.
As of April 30, 2026, unearned revenue, current was $201.1 million, while unearned revenue, non-current, which is included within other long term liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, was $0.3 million. Revenue recognized of $86.8 million during the three months ended April 30, 2026 was included in unearned revenue at the beginning of the period.
Customer deposits represent payments received in advance in instances where a revenue contract is cancelable in nature, and therefore the Company does not have an unconditional obligation to transfer control to a customer. As of April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026, customer deposits of $1.6 million and $0.4 million are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents amounts under non-cancelable contracts expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods, and may be influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, and contract terms. As of April 30, 2026, the Company had $500.1 million of remaining performance obligations, of which $444.2 million is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next twenty-four months, with the remaining balance expected to be recognized thereafter. As of January 31, 2026, the Company had $513.3 million of remaining performance obligations.
- Business Combinations
Hearsay Acquisition
On August 1, 2024, Yext completed its acquisition of Hearsay pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 10, 2024. At the effective time of the acquisition, each outstanding share of Hearsay stock was canceled and converted to a right to receive cash consideration, and Hearsay became a wholly owned subsidiary of Yext. The acquisition is intended to produce an end-to-end digital presence platform, combining Yext’s digital presence management capabilities with Hearsay's compliant engagement solutions across social media, websites, text, and voice.
During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company finalized the accounting for its acquisition of Hearsay. The fair value of consideration transferred for Hearsay as of the acquisition date consisted of the following:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Cash consideration and liabilities incurred | $132,462 |
| Contingent consideration(1) | 39,800 |
| Fair value of outstanding employee awards assumed | 7,825 |
| Other transaction related payments(2) | 640 |
| Total consideration transferred | $180,727 |
(1)Inclusive of $0.3 million measurement period adjustment recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2025.
(2)Inclusive of post-closing adjustments of less than $0.1 million.
Cash consideration and liabilities incurred of $132.5 million includes the base purchase price of $125.0 million and customary adjustments set forth in the merger agreement. The cash consideration includes $17.2 million of payments held in escrow as partial security for certain indemnification obligations of the former holders of Hearsay equity. Amounts held in escrow were reflected on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet at the acquisition date within restricted cash (current and non-current) as the funds are owned by the Company until settlement. In connection with the amounts held in escrow, the Company recognized a corresponding liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet at the acquisition date at its present value of $16.6 million to reflect the amounts payable to former Hearsay equity holders following the resolution of contingencies surrounding the amounts held in escrow. The liability will be accreted to its contractual value over the estimated escrow period with changes in the liability being recorded within interest expense on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the three months ended April 30, 2025 interest expense of $0.5 million was recognized, which encompassed all remaining accretion. As of January 31, 2026, all escrow amounts have been fully released with the corresponding cash outflows being categorized as deferred acquisition payments in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
The purchase price also includes $39.8 million of contingent consideration related to an earnout arrangement, inclusive of a $0.3 million measurement period adjustment recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2025 based on refined estimates. Under the terms of the earnout arrangement, the Company may be required to pay up to $75.0 million to the former holders of Hearsay's outstanding equity interests, subject to the achievement of certain Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") milestones over atwo-year period, which will end in September 2026. The portion of the earnout arrangement included within contingent consideration excludes amounts attributable to employees of Hearsay that held unvested awards as of the acquisition date, for which earnout payments are subjected to future service. Accordingly, these amounts represent compensation expense in the post-acquisition period. Payment of the earnout can be settled in cash or shares at the Company's election. As the first year of the earnout lapsed, the Company was required to pay $10.5 million, of which $8.6 million was paid as of January 31, 2026, and the remaining $1.9 million was paid in February 2026.
The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date. This estimate incorporated projected ARR values inclusive of revenue synergies and growth rates, as well as other key inputs. The key inputs as of the acquisition date are outlined below:
| Volatility | 15% |
|---|---|
| Revenue beta | 0.35 |
| Expected timing of payment | FY 2026 - FY 2027 |
| Discount rate | 5.90% - 6.20% |
See Note 6 "Fair Value of Financial Instruments" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the fair value of contingent consideration.
The Company also issued approximately 2.1 million replacement equity awards with a fair value of $11.8 million, of which (i) $7.8 million was allocated to consideration transferred for pre-acquisition services, inclusive of employer related payroll taxes, and (ii) $4.2 million was allocated to the post-acquisition period and expensed over the remaining requisite service period associated with the awards. The value attributed to consideration transferred was based on the fair value of Hearsay options prior to the exchange. Approximately 1.5 million equity awards that were granted also vested on the acquisition date, and $0.6 million was recognized in the post-acquisition period immediately to reflect the excess of the fair value of the replacement awards over the fair value of the Hearsay options. These awards were subsequently net settled, which represents an event that is separate from the acquisition.
In addition, the Company recognized other transaction related payments of $0.6 million in the consideration which are comprised primarily of post-closing adjustments, including working capital.
The Company is also required to make additional payments related to a $20.0 million incentive pool that can be settled in cash or shares at the Company's election, shortly after the first anniversary of the acquisition date. Approximately $8.8 million of this pool is to be paid to Hearsay founders and early employees, and is not contingent on future service being provided. This amount was recognized immediately in the post-acquisition period in operating expenses, within general and administrative expenses on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The remaining amount of the incentive pool is allocated to employees generally subject to continued employment ofone-year from the acquisition date. In addition, a transaction bonus of $1.5 million is payable to individuals determined by Hearsay and deemed to be compensation expense attributable to the post-acquisition period. Amounts attributable to the remaining incentive pool and transaction bonus will be expensed in the post-acquisition period over the requisite service period. As of September 1, 2025, all remaining payments related to the incentive pool were settled in cash for $18.2 million. In aggregate, incentive pool payments totaled $19.9 million, with forfeitures amounting to $0.1 million.
Acquisition-related costs related to Hearsay totaled $11.2 million. These costs were expensed as incurred and include $8.8 million related to the portion of the incentive pool attributable to Hearsay founders and early employees, as well as professional fees. Acquisition-related costs are presented within general and administrative expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
| (amounts in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Assets acquired: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $26,362 |
| Accounts receivable, net | 5,619 |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 2,454 |
| Property and equipment, net | 399 |
| Operating lease right-of-use assets | 414 |
| Other long term assets(1) | 5,942 |
| Liabilities assumed: | |

| Total consideration(4)(5) | $180,727 |
(1)Other long term assets includes a $5.9 million indemnification asset, with the underlying indemnified liability of $6.2 million recorded within other long term liabilities.
(2)Included within other long term liabilities is a deferred tax liability of $3.6 million.
(3)Inclusive of measurement period adjustments of $0.7 million recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2025.
(4)Inclusive of post-closing adjustments of less than $0.1 million.
(5)Inclusive of measurement period adjustments of $0.3 million related to contingent consideration recorded during the three months ended April 30, 2025.
The Company determined the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by using available market information and various valuation methods that require judgment related to estimates. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the Company refined its estimates pertaining to the valuation of intangibles which resulted in an increase of $9.9 million in intangible assets, a $1.7 million increase in deferred tax liabilities, as well as an increase to the useful life of the customer relationships from 12 years to 13 years. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company further refined its estimates in connection with finalizing its valuation of intangible assets. Additional measurement period adjustments were recorded resulting in an increase of $0.7 million in intangible assets and a $0.2 million increase in deferred tax liabilities.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the Company was indemnified by the sellers for the pre-acquisition contingent liability assumed in the acquisition associated with the Canadian Good and Services Tax (“GST”) and Harmonized sales tax (“HST”) related to certain historical foreign sales transactions. The indemnification of the indirect tax liability is capped at $5.9 million and an escrow fund was established in the same amount. At the acquisition date, the associated indirect tax liability was recorded at the estimated fair value of $6.2 million within other long term liabilities, and the Company recorded an indemnification asset up to the amount of the escrow fund balance of $5.9 million. In October 2024, initial filings to settle this matter with the Canada Revenue Agency were initiated and to date, payments of $2.0 million have been made. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company was notified by the Canada Revenue Agency that the matter was effectively settled, at which point the remaining indirect tax liability was released.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying net identifiable assets and is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Hearsay. Goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
Intangible Assets
The following table sets forth the amounts allocated to the intangible assets identified and their estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date:
| Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired | Fair Value (In thousands) | Estimated Useful Life(In years) | Classification of Amortization |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer relationships | $76,200 | 13 | Sales and marketing |
| Technology | 24,800 | 3 | Cost of revenue |
| Trademark | 850 | 3 | Sales and marketing |
| Total | $101,850 | ||
The fair values of the identifiable intangible assets are based on management’s estimates as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the intangible assets was determined using the excess earnings method and the relief from royalty method, under the income approach. The Company applied judgment in estimating the fair value of customer relationships using the excess earnings method, which involved the use of significant assumptions with respect to revenue, EBITDA, attrition rate, research and development addback, technology royalty rate, and discount rate. The fair value of the developed technology and trademark was estimated using the relief from royalty method, which incorporates assumptions including royalty rates, annual obsolescence, tax rates, and discount rates.
Places Scout Acquisition
On February 7, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of KabanaSoft, LLC, doing business as Places Scout (“Places Scout”), for a purchase price of $20.3 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the Unit Purchase Agreement. The acquisition strengthens the Company's ability to provide best-in-class competitive intelligence, benchmarking, and AI-powered insights.
The purchase price of $20.3 million was allocated to intangible assets including technology and customer relationships, totaling $5.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and the remaining $13.8 million was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill recognized is deductible for income tax purposes.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company also agreed to grant approximately $10.0 million of incentive equity awards to certain key employees of Places Scout. These awards are subject to continued employment and are expensed in the post-acquisition period over the requisite service period associated with the awards oftwo years.

The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities for the periods presented were valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing observable market inputs and were classified as Level 1 or Level 2, accordingly.
The Company measured its contingent consideration associated with the Hearsay acquisition, on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs, classified as Level 3.
Contingent Consideration
The Company records contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. The Company generally determines the fair value of contingent consideration using the Real Options Method that employs a Monte Carlo simulation model. Each reporting period thereafter, these obligations are revalued and changes in their fair values are recorded within general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration can result from changes in assumed discount periods and rates, and from changes pertaining to the estimated or actual achievement of the defined milestones. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Accordingly, future business and economic conditions, as well as changes in any of the assumptions described above, can materially impact the fair value and corresponding changes in fair value of the contingent consideration the Company records in any given period.
In connection with the Hearsay acquisition, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration incorporates projected ARR values inclusive of revenue synergies and growth rates, as well as other key inputs. The key inputs as of April 30, 2026 are outlined below:
| Volatility | 12.6% |
|---|---|
| Revenue beta | 0.28 |
| Expected timing of payment | FY 2027 |
| Discount rate | 8.96% - 8.99% |
A rollforward of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability for the three months ended April 30, 2026 is as follows:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of January 31, 2026 | $8,200 |
| Change in fair value | 210 |
| Payments made in the period | (1,410) |
| Balance as of April 30, 2026 | $7,000 |
- Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is at or one level below the operating segment level. The Company operates asone operating segment, which represents itsone reporting unit. The test for impairment is conducted annually each November 1 st, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of goodwill:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Balance as of January 31, 2026 | $110,801 |
| Effect of foreign currency translation on Goodwill acquired | (43) |
| Balance as of April 30, 2026 | $110,758 |
The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company's reporting unit below its carrying amount during the reporting periods ended April 30, 2026 and January 31, 2026. However, if certain events occur or circumstances change, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets with definite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from approximately 2 to 15 years. Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company hasno indefinite-lived intangible assets.
The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances changed during the reporting periods ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 that would indicate that its intangible assets with finite lives may not be recoverable. However, if certain events occur or circumstances change, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.
Amortization expense was $4.0 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
- Property and Equipment, Net

- Equity
On February 10, 2026, the Company announced the commencement of an issuer self-tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to purchase for cash up to $180.0 million in value of shares of common stock of the Company at price of not less than $5.75 nor greater than $6.50 per share, to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholdings and without interest. The Tender Offer was originally scheduled to expire on March 12, 2026. On March 4, 2026, the Company decreased the maximum aggregate purchase price of shares to be repurchased in the Tender Offer to $140.0 million and extended the expiration date to March 18, 2026. On March 23, 2026, the Company completed the Tender Offer and repurchased 24,347,825 shares at a price of $5.75 per share for a total amount of $140.0 million, excluding excise tax, direct fees and expenses related to the Tender Offer.
In March 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $100.0 million share repurchase program of the Company's common stock which was increased by an additional $50.0 million in September 2023 and an additional $50.0 million in March 2025. During the three months ended April 30, 2026, no repurchases were made under the share repurchase program. As of April 30, 2026, approximately $14.9 million remains available for future purchases, exclusive of commissions paid on the repurchase of shares. In May 2026, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional $100.0 million to the share repurchase program.
As part of the share repurchase program, shares may be purchased in open market transactions or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, and all open market repurchases will be made in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market stock repurchases.
- Debt
BlackRock Credit Agreement
On May 15, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), the Company entered into the May 2025 Credit Agreement which provides for (i) a senior secured initial term loan facility (the “Initial Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million, (ii) a secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) an uncommitted secured discretionary delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million (the “Discretionary Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility”, and together with the Initial Term Loan Facility and the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities” and borrowings under the Term Loan Facilities, the "Term Loans"). The Term Loan Facilities mature on May 15, 2030. The Company borrowed $100.0 million under the Initial Term Loan Facility on May 15, 2025 and borrowed $50.0 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility on March 6, 2026. The proceeds of the term loans made under the Initial Term Loan Facility were used to pay fees related to a previous credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank that was terminated on May 15, 2025, and expenses associated with Term Loan Facilities, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes. The Company used the proceeds of the term loans made under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility in connection with the Tender Offer. See Note 11 "Equity" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Tender Offer.
The Term Loan Facilities are held by a related party who was an equity holder of the Company on the Closing Date and as of April 30, 2026. The Company includes shareholders holding more than 5% of the voting securities within its definition of related parties.
The Term Loan Facilities bear interest, at the Company's option, at an annual rate based on an adjusted term SOFR rate or a base rate. Term Loans based on the adjusted term SOFR rate shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to term SOFR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 5.25%. Term Loans based on the base rate shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the federal funds effective rate then in effect, plus 0.50% per annum, (iii) an adjusted term SOFR rate determined on the basis of a one-month interest period, plus 1.00% per annum, and (iv)2.00%, in each case, plus a margin of 4.25%. Interest is due and payable quarterly in arrears, in the case of Term Loans bearing interest at the base rate, and at the end of an interest period (or quarterly, in the case of any interest period longer than 3 months), in the case of Term Loans bearing interest at the adjusted term SOFR rate. As of April 30, 2026, interest on the Term Loan Facilities was based on an adjusted term SOFR rate.
The obligations under the May 2025 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company and secured by a lien on substantially all of the property of the Company and certain subsidiary guarantors.
The May 2025 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions that, among other things, restrict the Company and the Company's subsidiaries’ ability to repurchase stock, incur additional debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments and acquisitions, and prepay certain indebtedness, create liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of its business, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, transfer and sell material assets and merge or consolidate. The May 2025 Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain minimum qualified cash of at least $35.0 million at all times and minimum consolidated EBITDA for relevant test periods, tested on a quarterly basis. The May 2025 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, cross acceleration to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions or the occurrence of an event of default could result in the full or partial principal balance of the May 2025 Credit Agreement becoming immediately due and payable and termination of the commitments.
The Term Loans are subject to certain mandatory prepayment events, including an excess cash flow sweep of up to 30% for excess cash flow periods in which the Company’s annualized recurring revenue is less than $350.0 million.
In connection with the May 2025 Credit Agreement, the Company incurred original issue discount costs of $1.5 million and debt issuance costs of $0.8 million. These costs will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan Facilities using the effective interest method.
As of April 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
The following table sets forth the Company’s debt obligations for the period presented:
| (in thousands) | April 30, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Principal | $150,000 |
| Unamortized original issue discount and debt issuance costs | (2,403) |
| Net carrying amount | $147,597 |
- Income Taxes
The following table reflects the Company's income tax provision, pretax loss and effective tax rate for the periods presented:
| Three months ended April 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Income from operations before income taxes | $3,058 | $753 |
| (Provision for) benefit from income taxes | $(433) | $17 |
| Effective tax rate | 14.16% | (2.26%) |
The Company calculates its year-to-date (provision for) benefit from income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR") to year-to-date income or loss from operations before income taxes and adjusts for discrete tax items recorded in the period.
During the three months ended April 30, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.4 million. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, the Company recorded a benefit from income tax of less than $0.1 million.
The Company's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to full valuation allowances related to the Company's net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, U.S. state income taxes, and foreign rate differential on profitable jurisdictions. The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance on a jurisdictional basis if it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, loss carryback, and tax-planning strategies. Generally, more weight is given to objectively verifiable evidence, such as the cumulative loss in recent years, as a significant piece of negative evidence to overcome. To the extent sufficient positive evidence becomes available, a portion of the valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets could be released in the future and would result in a non-cash income tax benefit in the period of release.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations
The Company is obligated to make payments under certain non-cancelable contractual obligations in the normal course of business. The Company's contractual obligations primarily relate to its operating lease arrangements for office space. Its other contractual obligations include contracts with its Publisher Network application providers, which generally have a term of one year, although some have a term of several years, and its software vendors, among others. These obligations represent minimum contractual payments, or the Company's best estimate for variable elements based on historical payments. The Company's contractual obligations have various expiry dates between fiscal years 2027 and 2035.
As of April 30, 2026, the Company's contractual obligations are as follows (in thousands):
| Fiscal year ending January 31: | Leases | Other |
|---|---|---|

In connection with the acquisition of Hearsay, an earnout arrangement exists where the Company may also be required to pay up to $75.0 million to the former holders of Hearsay's outstanding equity interests, subject to the achievement of certain ARR milestones over atwo-year period. As of April 30, 2026, the Company has made payments of $10.5 million related to the earnout arrangement. Payments can be settled in cash or shares at the Company's election and all remaining payments are estimated to occur in fiscal year 2027. See Note 4 "Business Combinations" and Note 6 "Fair Value of Financial Instruments" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is and may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, currently, in the opinion of the Company, the likelihood of any material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or the Company's financial position for any such litigation or claims is deemed to be remote. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Warranties and Indemnifications
The Company's platform is in some cases warranted to perform in a manner consistent with general industry standards that are reasonably applicable and materially in accordance with the Company's product specifications.
The Company's arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if its products or services infringe a third-party's intellectual property rights and/or if the Company breaches its contractual agreements with a customer or in instances of negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by the Company. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any significant liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has also agreed to indemnify certain of its directors and executive officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person's service as a director or officer, including any action by the Company, arising out of that person's services as the Company's director or officer or that person's services provided to any other company or enterprise at the Company's request. The Company maintains director and officer insurance coverage that would generally enable the Company to recover a portion of future amounts paid. The Company may also be subject to indemnification obligations by law with respect to the actions of its employees under certain circumstances and in certain jurisdictions.
- Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The Company computes basic net income per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The Company computes diluted net income per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive shares using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method depending on the arrangement.
The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders:

The earnout arrangement and incentive pool entered into in connection with the acquisition of Hearsay represent liability-classified arrangements that may be settled in cash or shares at the Company's election. Diluted net income per share includes the effect of the potential share settlement associated with these arrangements when such effects are dilutive. For both the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, diluted net income per share excluded the effect of the earnout arrangement as it was anti-dilutive. See Note 4 "Business Combinations" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the earnout and incentive pool.
