Current report
A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit heard oral argument on our appeal of the District Court’s July 2023 Rimini II judgment and Injunction in June 2024, and the Ninth Circuit issued its decision on our appeal in December 2024. In its decision, the Ninth Circuit vacated multiple copyright rulings, reversed in part the District Court’s Lanham Act ruling, and vacated portions of the Rimini II Injunction that we appealed. In January 2025, Oracle filed a petition for panel rehearing and rehearingen banc in the Ninth Circuit, arguing that the panel had erred in its rulings regarding Section 117(a), derivative works, one of the security-related statements under the Lanham Act, and vacatur of portions of the injunction the Company appealed.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Previous report
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06,“Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” The guidance incorporates several disclosure and presentation requirements currently residing in SEC Regulations S-X and S-K. ASU 2023-06 is effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulations S-X or S-K. Any amendment the SEC does not remove from Regulations S-X or S-K by June 30, 2027 will not become effective. The amendments will be applied prospectively and early adoption is not permitted. As we are currently subject to these SEC requirements, we do not expect ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Enterprise software support, products and services is one of the largest categories of overall global information technology (“IT”) spending. We believe enterprise resource planning (“ERP”), customer relationship management (“CRM”), product lifecycle management (“PLM”) database and technology software systems have become increasingly important in the operation of mission-critical business processes over the last 30 years. Also the costs associated with running and supporting these systems; failure and downtime; security exposure; integrating and monitoring; and maintaining the tax, legal and regulatory compliance of these software systems, have increased in both actual spend and as a percentage of the full IT budget. As a result, we believe that licensees often view enterprise software support, products and services as a mandatory cost of doing business.

We believe enterprise resource planning (“ERP”), customer relationship management (“CRM”), product lifecycle management (“PLM”) database and technology software systems have become increasingly important in the operation of mission-critical business processes over the last 30 years. We also believe organizations are increasingly creating more complex IT environments that are a mixture of multiple technologies, business models and vendors, including perpetual license and subscription license software solutions, deployed across the client’s system and cloud computing providers (hybrid IT environments), and consisting of proprietary and non-proprietary open-source software, all from a multitude of different technology vendors.

We define an active client as a distinct entity, such as a company, an educational or government institution, or a business unit of a company that purchases our services to support a specific product. For example, we count as two separate active clients when support for two different products is being provided to the same entity. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we had approximately 3,030, 3,020 and 2,840 active clients, respectively.

We recognize subscription revenue on a daily basis. We define annualized subscription revenue as the amount of subscription revenue recognized during a quarter and multiplied by four. This gives us an indication of the revenue that can be earned in the following 12-month period from our existing client base assuming no cancellations or price changes occur during that period. Subscription revenue excludes any non-recurring revenue, which has been insignificant to date.

We define revenue retention rate as the actual subscription revenue (dollar-based) recognized in a 12-month period from clients that existed on the day prior to the start of the 12-month period divided by our annualized subscription revenue as of the day prior to the start of the 12-month period. Our revenue retention rate was 90% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 92% for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decline in our retention rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was due to attrition during the fourth quarter, as certain clients did not renew specific subscriptions; however, in some cases maintained or added subscriptions for other products and services. Our net billings during the fourth quarter of 2023 were flat to the comparable period of 2022 because we were able to increase new client invoicing to offset the loss of some larger contracts.

The decline in our retention rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to attrition during the fourth quarter of 2023 as well as the first and second quarters of 2024, as certain clients did not renew specific subscriptions for a variety of reasons. However, in some cases, these clients maintained or added subscriptions for other products and services. Our net billings during 2024 were about 1% higher than the prior year, with billings growth in the second half of the year partially offsetting the billings decline in the first half of the year.

We define gross profit as the difference between revenue and the costs incurred in providing the software products and services. Gross margin is the ratio of gross profit divided by revenue. Our gross margin was approximately 62.3%, 62.8% and 63.6% for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We believe the gross margin provides an indication of how efficiently and effectively we are operating our business and serving our clients.

We have experienced some clients not renewing our services due to the adverse impact on their businesses from current global economic uncertainty, as well as by the economic disruption continuing to be caused by the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 and recent political and trade turmoil with China, amongst other global challenges. While we do not physically operate in Russia, the Ukraine or in mainland China, we do have operations in Israel. These global events, together with inflationary pressures, have negatively impacted the global economy, causing the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in 2022. Despite these macroeconomic and geopolitical pressures, we expect to continue to be able to market, sell and provide our current and future products and services to clients globally. We also expect to continue investing in the development and improvement of new and existing products and services to address client needs.

Further, although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe the impacts of the economic disruptions described above had a significant net impact on our revenue or results of operations during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The extent to which rising inflation, interest rate increases and continuing global economic and geopolitical uncertainty impact our business going forward, however, will depend on numerous evolving factors we cannot reliably predict, including continued governmental and business actions in response to increasing global economic and geopolitical uncertainty. As such, the effects of rising inflation, interest rate increases and other negative impacts on the global economy may not be fully reflected in our financial results until future periods. Refer to “Risk Factors” (Part I, Item 1A of this Report) for a discussion of these factors and other risks.

Interest expense. Interest expense is incurred under our Credit Facility and other debt obligations. The components of interest expense include the amount of interest payable in cash at the stated interest rate, interest that is payable in kind through additional borrowings, make-whole applicable premium, and accretion of debt discounts and issuance costs (“DDIC”) using the effective interest method. Interest expense also includes payments incurred or received as a result of the interest rate swap agreement.

Income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based on the amount of our taxable income and enacted federal, state and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits and deductions. Our provision for income taxes consists primarily of foreign taxes for the periods presented, as our taxable income for U.S. federal and state purposes is offset by net operating losses. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In prior years, the domestic net deferred tax assets had been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of our lack of domestic earnings history.

Revenue. Revenue increased from $409.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $431.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $21.8 million or 5%. In part, this increase was driven by a 2% increase in the average number of unique clients and a 3% increase in the average revenue per unique client. On a regional basis, United States revenue grew from $215.4 million for fiscal 2022 to $220.0 million for fiscal 2023, an increase of $4.6 million or 2%, while international revenue grew from $194.3 million for fiscal 2022 to $211.5 million for fiscal 2023, an increase of $17.2 million or 9%.
Current wording
$210.0 million for fiscal 2024, a decline of $10.0 million or 5%, while international revenue grew from $211.5 million for fiscal 2023 to $218.8 million for fiscal 2024, an increase of $7.2 million or 3%.

Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue increased from $152.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $162.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $10.1 million or 7%. This increase was primarily due to additional client support required which resulted in an increase in employee compensation and benefits of $1.4 million, an increase in engineering consulting costs of $3.4 million and an increase in all other costs of $6.2 million, driven primarily by a $4.8 million increase in outside services and $1.3 million increase in computer software licenses. These unfavorable variances were offset by a decrease in allocated costs of $0.9 million.
Current wording
Cost of revenue. Total cost of revenue increased from $162.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $167.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $5.2 million or 3%. This increase was due to several items. First our costs for employee compensation and benefits increased by $1.9 million. We also experienced an increase in all other costs of $2.1 million, driven primarily by an increase in outside services of $1.3 million, as well as an increase of allocated costs for $1.7 million. Offsetting the increased costs, we experienced a decline in engineering consulting costs of $0.5 million.
Previous wording
The $1.4 million increase in cost of revenue attributable to employee compensation and benefits for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages and benefit costs due to a 16% increase in the average number of employees devoted to cost of revenue functions and annual pay increases.
Current wording
The $1.9 million increase in cost of revenue attributable to employee compensation and benefits for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages and benefit costs due to a 11% increase in the average number of employees devoted to cost of revenue functions and annual pay increases.

As discussed in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report, the District Court issued its findings of fact and conclusions of law in Rimini II, accompanied by the “Rimini II Injunction” on July 24, 2023. The District court found infringement as to Oracle’s PeopleSoft and Oracle Database products. As a result of the findings, we are likely to incur additional expenses for incremental labor costs in order to comply with the District Court’s Rimini II Injunction. At this time, we have yet to determine the impact on future period costs. Any adverse outcome in our ongoing judicial proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased from $257.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $269.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $11.7 million or 5%. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2022 was 62.8% compared to 62.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $21.8 million or 5% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $10.1 million, or 7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Given that the increase in the cost of revenue was 7% compared to an increase in revenue of 5%, it resulted in a decline of 50 basis points in our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The lower gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to accelerating employee compensation and benefits, engineering consulting costs and all other costs more rapidly than our revenue growth.
Current wording
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased from $269.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $261.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decline of $8.0 million or 3%. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 62.3% compared to 60.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 declined by $2.7 million or 1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $5.2 million, or 3%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Given that the increase in the cost of revenue was 3% and we experienced a decline in revenue of 1%, we realized a decline of 150 basis points in our gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The lower gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to increasing employee compensation and benefits, all other costs and administrative allocations despite a slight decline in our revenue.

Sales and marketing expenses. As a percentage of our revenue, sales and marketing expenses have decreased from 35% for the year ended December 31, 2022 to 33% for the year ended December 31, 2023. In dollar terms, sales and marketing expenses declined slightly from $143.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $142.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decline of $0.7 million or 0.5%. This decrease was primarily due to (i) a $2.0 million decline in travel and entertainment costs, (ii) a $1.1 million decrease in recruitment costs, (iii) a $1.2 million reduction in administrative allocated costs, and (iv) a reduction of $0.4 million of other costs. These declines were offset by (v) a $0.6 million increase in employee compensation and benefits as a result of a 1% increase in average headcount, (vi) an increase in trade show costs of $2.5 million and (vii) an increase of advertising, marketing and promotional costs of $0.9 million.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased from $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $73.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $2.3 million or 3%. This decrease was primarily due to (i) a reduction of computer software costs of $1.9 million, (ii) a decline of contract labor costs of $1.6 million, (iii) a decrease in rent and facility costs of $1.3 million, (iv) a decline in travel and entertainment costs of $0.4 million and (v) a net decrease in sales and other taxes of $0.2 million. These favorable variances were offset, in part, by (v) increases in compensation and benefit costs of $0.2 million, (vi) an increase in professional fees of $0.8 million and (vii) an increase in our administrative allocations and all other costs of $2.1 million.

General and administrative expenses increased from $73.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $73.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a slight increase of$40.0 thousand or 0.1%. This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of computer software costs of $2.7 million, (ii) an increase of professional fees of $1.4 million, (iii) an increase in sales and other taxes of $0.8 million, (iv) an increase of depreciation and amortization expense of $0.6 million, (v) an increase in rent and facility costs of $0.5 million and (vi) an increase of contract labor of $0.4 million. These unfavorable variances were offset, in part, by (vii) a decrease in compensation and benefit costs of $3.6 million and (viii) an increase in our administrative allocations from general and administrative expenses of $2.9 million.
Previous wording
The $0.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses attributable to employee compensation and benefits for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million, offset by a reduction in salaries, wages and benefit costs of $1.8 million, which was primarily a result of reorganization activity that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Current wording
The $3.6 million decline attributable to employee compensation and benefits for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million, as well as a reduction in salaries, wages, bonus and benefit costs of $1.5 million, which was primarily a result of reorganization activity that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Reorganization costs. We recognized reorganization costs of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The costs consist primarily of severance costs associated with our 2022 reorganization plan.
Current wording
Reorganization costs. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we began a process to evaluate and optimize our cost structure through a headcount reduction. We recognized reorganization costs of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increased cost was due primarily to severance costs associated with our 2024 reorganization plan. We are likely to incur additional reorganization costs during 2025 as we continue to optimize our cost structure in areas where opportunities to streamline our operations exist.

Litigation settlement expense of $2.7 million was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023 as we reached an agreement with Oracle for $9.7 million for attorneys’ fees and costs in December 2023 relating to the Rimini I Injunction contempt proceedings. We had previously accrued $6.9 million as an estimate of attorney’s fees and costs during the year ended December 31, 2021, with no change to our estimate for the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in incremental expense of $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This expense was offset by a payment received from Oracle of $0.1 million relating to the reduced sanctions award for the Rimini I Injunction contempt proceedings.
Current wording
Litigation expense increased from $2.7 million for year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $58.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. On September 23, 2024, the District Court issued its order on Oracle’s motion for attorneys’ fees and taxable costs. The District Court awarded to Oracle $58.2 million in attorneys’ fees and $0.3 million in costs. As a result, we expensed and paid $58.5 million for attorneys’ fees and costs during the year ended December 31, 2024. In December 2023, we reached an agreement with Oracle for $9.7 million for attorneys’ fees and costs, relating to the Rimini I Injunction contempt proceedings. We had previously accrued $6.9 million as an estimate of attorney’s fees and costs during the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, we recorded an incremental expense of $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Professional fees and other defense costs associated with litigation decreased from $25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $18.6 million. This decrease was primarily due to costs associated with the Rimini II trial, which occurred from November 2022 to December 2022.
Current wording
Professional fees and other defense costs associated with litigation decreased from $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.0 million. This decrease was primarily due to the timing of when costs were incurred for our appeal preparation of the Rimini II decision with the Ninth Circuit.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.3 million. Interest expense increased primarily due to rising interest rates on our five-year Credit Facility, which increased from a LIBOR interest rate of 4.07% as of December 31, 2022 to a SOFR interest rate of 5.35% as of December 31, 2023. These rising interest rates were offset, in part, by a reduction of interest costs of $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, related to the net payment activity associated with our interest rate swap, which was entered into on May 18, 2022.
Current wording
Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $0.8 million. Interest expense increased primarily due to rising interest rates on our Credit Facilities, which increased from the effective interest rate of 8.2% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to an effective interest rate of 8.8% for the year ended December 31, 2024 under the term loan. In addition, we borrowed $15.0 million in October 2024 from our revolving line of credit, resulting in incremental interest expense of $0.2 million. Finally, we incurred $0.2 million of interest expense related to the Oracle attorneys’ fees and costs noted above during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Other income (expenses), net. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had other expenses, net of $13 thousand as compared to other income, net of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $3.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we experienced a significant change in foreign currency exchange rates as the U.S. Dollar initially strengthened against the majority of foreign currencies where our foreign entities operate and then weakened during the fourth quarter of 2022. As a result, we ended up experiencing a small gain of $12 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. The foreign exchange gain was offset by other non-operating expenses of $25 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net other income of approximately $3.0 million was comprised of gains from cash equivalents and investments of $3.7 million which were offset, in part, by foreign exchange losses of approximately $0.3 million and other costs of $0.4 million. Gains from cash and investments increased $3.5 million over the prior year because we began investing more funds in higher interest-bearing cash and investment accounts, coupled with rising interest rates.
Current wording
Other income (expenses), net. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had other income, net of $3.0 million as compared to other income, net of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decline of $1.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, other income, net of $3.0 million was comprised of gains from cash equivalents and investments of $3.7 million which were offset, in part, by foreign exchange losses of $0.3 million and other costs of $0.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, net other income of approximately $1.8 million was comprised of gains from cash equivalents and investments of $3.6 million which were offset significantly by foreign exchange losses of approximately $1.2 million and other costs of $0.6 million.

On February 22, 2023, the Company amended its Credit Facility. The Credit Facility originally bore interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50%. The amendment implemented certain changes in the reference rate from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). As of February 28, 2023, the Company has a choice of interest rates between (a) Adjusted Term SOFR and (b) Base Rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin remains the same as the existing Credit Agreement, and is based on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and whether the Company elects Adjusted Term SOFR (ranging from 1.75 to 2.50%) or Base Rate (ranging from 0.75 to 1.50%). As of December 31, 2023, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was 7.21%.
Current wording
We have a choice of interest rates under the 2024 Credit Facility between (a) SOFR and (b) Base Rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin remains the same as the Original Credit Facility and is based on our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2024 Credit Facility) and whether we elect SOFR (ranging from 2.75% to 3.50%) or a Base Rate (ranging from 1.75% to 2.5%). Interest on the unused portion of the revolving credit line is at rates of between 25 to 40 basis points, depending on our Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. Annual minimum principal payments over the five-year term for the 2024 Credit Facility are 5%, 5%, 7.5%, 7.5%, and 10%, respectively, with the remaining balance due at the end of the original term.
Previous wording
The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1.25, a total leverage ratio less than 3.75, and a minimum liquidity of $20 million in U.S. cash. Annual minimum principal payments over the five year term for the Credit Facility are 5%, 5%, 7.5%, 7.5%, and 10%, respectively, with the remaining balance due at the end of the term. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company made principal payments of $5.6 million.

A key component of our business model generally requires that customers prepay us annually for the services we will provide over the following year or longer. As a result, we collect cash from our customers in advance of when the related service costs are incurred, which resulted in deferred revenue of $263.1 million that is included in current liabilities as of December 31, 2023. Therefore, we believe that working capital deficit is not as meaningful in evaluating our liquidity since the costs of fulfilling our commitments to provide services to customers are currently limited to approximately 38% of the related deferred revenue based on our gross margin of 62% for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Current wording
A key component of our business model requires that substantially all clients prepay us annually for the services we will provide over the following year or longer. As a result, we typically collect cash from our clients in advance of when the related service costs are incurred, which resulted in deferred revenue of $258.0 million that is included in current liabilities as of December 31, 2024. Therefore, we believe that working capital deficit is not as meaningful in evaluating our liquidity since the costs of fulfilling our commitments to provide services to clients are currently limited to approximately 39.1% of the related deferred revenue based on our gross profit percentage of 60.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024.
