Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2025, interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, and shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, and interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of October 31, 2025; results of the Company’s operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024; statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024; and statements of cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in the notes to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three- and six-month periods are also unaudited. The results for the three and six months ended October 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, or any other future period.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of April 30, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on June 10, 2025 (the “Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on April 30. References to fiscal 2026, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026.

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, allowance for credit losses, valuation of stock-based compensation, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, discount rate used for operating leases, and valuation allowance for deferred income taxes. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events.

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates or judgments or revise the carrying value of the Company’s assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not adopt any accounting pronouncements during the six months ended October 31, 2025.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Income Taxes: In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhancements and further transparency for certain income tax disclosures. The new guidance mandates consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the tax rate reconciliation, as well as disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2025. The Company plans to adopt this standard in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and is currently assessing the appropriate transition method.

Financial Instruments: In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, including those assets acquired in a business combination. The practical expedient permits an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The guidance becomes effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. An entity that elects the practical expedient should apply the guidance prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The guidance becomes effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2027, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Internal-Use Software: In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, to modernize the accounting for software costs that are accounted for under Subtopic 350-40. The new guidance removes all references to software development stages and allows software development costs to be capitalized once management commits to funding the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and used as intended. The new guidance also introduces the concept of “significant development uncertainty” which, if present, precludes capitalization. The guidance becomes effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2028, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
