Current report

Cost of revenue was $27.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $28.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million or 3%. The decrease was primarily driven by a $0.7 million decrease in personnel-related costs, reflecting lower headcount, and a $0.5 million decrease in lease expense largely due to subleasing activity. This was offset by a $0.9 million increase in data center costs.

Current report

Sales and marketing expense was $26.3 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $32.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025, a decrease of $5.8 million or 18%. The decrease was primarily driven by a $4.4 million decrease in personnel-related costs, reflecting lower headcount, and a $0.8 million decrease in professional fees. This was offset by a $1.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense primarily driven by the departure of an executive during the three months ended July 31, 2025.

Current report

Research and development expense was $19.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025, a decrease of $4.0 million or 17%. The decrease was primarily driven by employee-related costs as personnel-related costs decreased $1.6 million, reflecting lower headcount, and stock-based compensation expense decreased $0.9 million primarily due to a shift in our granting practices from time-based restricted stock awards to performance-based awards, compounded by lower grant date fair values for awards granted during fiscal 2027.

Current report

General and administrative expense was $20.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to a $0.1 million benefit for the three months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $20.7 million. The increase was primarily driven by changes in the fair value of contingent consideration of $23.2 million pertaining to the Hearsay acquisition. During the three months ended July 31, 2025, a fair value adjustment of $23.4 million was recorded, stemming from a decline in the estimated achievement of the earnout arrangement. In addition, personnel-related costs increased by $1.1 million, reflecting higher headcount. This was offset by a $3.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense primarily due to a shift in our granting practices from time-based restricted stock awards to performance-based awards, compounded by lower grant date fair values for awards granted during fiscal 2027, and by awards that have fully vested for certain executives.

Previous report

Beginning with the three months ended April 30, 2026, we revised our definition of Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to include asset impairment charges associated with capitalized implementation costs of cloud computing arrangements. We believe this change provides investors with a view of continuing core operations without the effects of this item, which may vary for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Previous report

We have recast our results on the same basis for the prior comparative periods presented, although the effects in those periods remain unchanged.
