Current report
We have undertaken, and may in the future undertake, internal restructuring activities that could result in disruptions to our business or otherwise materially harm our results of operations or financial condition.
Current report
From time to time, we have undertaken and may continue to undertake internal restructuring activities in an effort to better align our resources with our business strategy. For example, we initiated a restructuring plan in July 2024. This follows an earlier restructuring plan we initiated in fiscal year 2023 that was completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. We incur substantial costs to implement restructuring plans, and our restructuring activities may subject us to reputational risks and litigation risks and expenses. There can be no assurance that any restructuring activities that we have undertaken or undertake in the future will achieve the cost savings, operating efficiencies, or other benefits that we may initially expect. In addition, restructuring activities may result in loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, attrition beyond our intended reduction in force, or a negative impact on employee morale and productivity or our ability to attract highly skilled employees. Internal restructurings can also require a significant amount of time and focus from management and other employees, which may divert attention from commercial operations. If any internal restructuring activities we have undertaken or undertake in the future fail to achieve some or all of the expected benefits, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Previous wording
The markets and use cases for products with AI capabilities have been rapidly evolving, are difficult to predict, and may impact demand for our products, our sales cycles, and the preferences of our customers and potential customers. The significant investments we have made to develop products and software to address what we believe will be increasing demand for AI capabilities may be insufficient, and we face significant hurdles, including whether demand will materialize, whether third-party software providers will develop functionality that allows their software to utilize the AI capabilities of our products, and whether we will be successful in developing products that can compete with offerings by established competitors.

Previous wording
We have invested in an early-stage global foundation model and agentic AI company and we may continue to invest in other potentially disruptive technologies in the future, through various vehicles such as equity or debt investments, joint ventures, or strategic partnerships. Such investments may not produce the expected results, may require more financial resources than anticipated, or may otherwise be unsuccessful, and the value of the investments may decline or our business may be adversely impacted.

Such investments may not produce the expected results, may require more financial resources than anticipated, or may otherwise be unsuccessful, and the value of the investments may decline or be impaired, or our business may be adversely impacted.
Previous wording
Additionally, our use of AI technology in general may subject us to reputational, financial, legal, or regulatory risks. As we continue to incorporate AI technology into our products and services, any failures to address concerns relating to the responsible use of the evolving AI technology in our products and services may cause harm to our reputation or result in financial liability, and as such, may increase our costs to address or mitigate such risks and issues. AI technology may create ethical issues, generate defective algorithms, and present other risks that create challenges with respect to its adoption. In addition, evolving rules, regulations, and industry standards governing AI may require us to expend significant resources to modify, maintain, or align our business practices or products to comply with U.S. and non-U.S. rules and regulations, the nature of which cannot be determined at this time. Several jurisdictions around the globe, including the EU and certain U.S. states, have already proposed or enacted laws governing AI. U.S. federal agencies are likely to release AI regulations in the near future in light of the Biden administration's October 30, 2023 Executive Order on AI.
