Research and development expenses were $40.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $69.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $28.4 million. This decrease was primarily driven by reductions of $22.3 million in information technology expenses primarily due to a prior year shortfall in contractually committed spending related to our strategic cloud and AI partnership with Google Cloud, $3.9 million in stock-based compensation expense (inclusive of employer payroll taxes), and $2.9 million in personnel-related compensation and benefits expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in other operating expenses.

Previous wording

We expense R&D costs as incurred. Our R&D expenses were lower in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to our restructuring plan announced and commenced in the second quarter of 2024 as we rationalized our current development programs and prioritize our investments in our tools offerings. We expect that our R&D expenses will either remain consistent or decline in 2026 as compared to 2025, reflecting the stabilization of our operational overhead and the impact of our restructuring actions. However, our R&D expenses could increase in 2026 due to continued investment in our tools offerings. The nature, timing, and estimated costs required to support our growth will be dependent on advances in technology, our ability to attract new customers, and the rate of market penetration within our existing customer industries.

However, our G&A expenses could increase in 2026 due to employee incentive programs offered. Conversely, we intend to maintain a strategic and opportunistic approach regarding inorganic G&A expenses arising from mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other inorganic growth initiatives.

Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP performance measures. These measures exclude significant expenses and income required by GAAP, which impacts their alignment with consolidated financial statements. They also rely on management’s judgment to determine which items are included or excluded, making them inherently subjective. Additionally, non-GAAP measures lack uniform definitions and may differ from those used by other companies, limiting comparability. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented below:
