Liquidity
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $43.1 million, an accumulated deficit of $1,472.8 million, net accounts receivable of $35.8 million, and negative working capital, which we define as current assets less current liabilities, of $19.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized net income of $153.7 million and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $1.4 million. As of September 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $43.1 million, which were held for working capital purposes and for investment growth opportunities. As of September 30, 2025, we believe that our cash position, as well as expected collections from accounts receivable, is sufficient to meet our capital and liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Our business prospects are subject to various risks, expenses and uncertainties, including those discussed in Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent upon future events, including continued execution of our software and services-oriented strategy, the successful delivery of AI-enabled software and edge device capabilities to our customers, securing new customers and maintaining current ones, and motivating, hiring and retaining appropriate personnel. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, achieve planned gross margins and operating profitability, control operating costs, or secure additional funding as required may require us to modify, delay or abandon some of our planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact operating cost reductions available to management, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but certain notes or other information that are normally required by GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other future interim period or year.
On June 23, 2025, we effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split, which reduced the number of our shares of common stock outstanding on that date from 167,169,140 shares to 8,358,370 shares. The number of authorized shares of our common stock has been reduced from 500.0 million shares to 250.0 million shares and the number of authorized shares of preferred stock remained unchanged at 1.0 million shares. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon settlement of outstanding restricted stock units and exercise of options was reduced proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split. Additionally, the exercise price of all outstanding options, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options, and the number of shares reserved for future issuance pursuant to our equity incentive plans were all adjusted proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split. All share and per share amounts, exercise prices, conversion rates and conversion prices presented herein that relate to dates, or were established, prior to the reverse stock split have been adjusted retroactively to reflect these changes.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company presents non-controlling interests within the equity section of its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the amount of consolidated net (loss) income that is attributable to the Company and the non-controlling interest in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company has in some instances formed special purpose entities (“SPEs”), some of which are VIEs, with its investors in the ordinary course of business to facilitate the funding and monetization of its energy storage systems. A legal entity is considered a VIE if it has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to finance its operations without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company’s variable interests arise from contractual, ownership, or other monetary interests in the entity. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest ownership is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity; however, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as VIEs, through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests.
The Company consolidates a VIE if it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company determines it is the primary beneficiary if it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or has the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its relationships with its VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary.
Beginning in January 2022, the Company entered into strategic joint ventures through indirect wholly-owned development subsidiaries of the Company (“DevCo JVs”) with the purpose of originating potential battery storage facility projects in specific locations and conducting early-stage planning and development activities. The Company determined that the DevCo JVs are VIEs, as they lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support. The Company determined that it has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the DevCo JVs, and as a result, the DevCo JVs’ operating results, assets and liabilities are consolidated by the Company, with third party minority owners’ share presented as noncontrolling interest. The Company applied the hypothetical liquidation at book value method in allocating recorded net income (loss) to each owner based on the change in the reporting period, of the amount of net assets of the entity to which each owner would be entitled to under the governing contracts in a liquidation scenario.
The following table summarizes the carrying values of the assets and liabilities of the DevCo JVs that were consolidated by the Company as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $199 | $1,556 |
| Other current assets | — | 18 |
| Other noncurrent assets | 17,360 | 16,415 |
| Total assets | 17,559 | 17,989 |
| Liabilities | ||
| Accounts payable | 167 | 1,284 |
| Other current liabilities | 3 | 114 |
| Total liabilities | $170 | $1,398 |
The Company didnot make any material capital investment contributions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The net loss from the DevCo JVs was $0.2 million and $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, andimmaterial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the financial position and results of operations.
Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates of transaction price with variable consideration; the amortization of acquired intangibles; deferred commissions and contract fulfillment costs; the valuation of energy storage systems, finite-lived intangible assets, internally developed software, accruals related to sales tax liabilities, valuation techniques used to determine gain on debt extinguishment, and the fair value of debt instruments, warrant liability and assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, management has determined that the Company hasone operating segment that focuses exclusively on innovative technology services that transform the way energy is distributed and consumed. Net assets outside of the U.S. were less than 10% of total net assets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts Receivable are stated at amounts estimated by management to be equal to their net realizable values. Accounts receivable also includes unbilled accounts receivable, which is composed of milestone development activities of noncancellable purchase orders and monthly energy optimization services provided and recognized but not yet invoiced as of the end of the reporting period. The allowance for credit losses is the Company's best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses. The expectation of collectability is based on the Company's review of credit profiles of customers, contractual terms and conditions, current economic trends, and historical payment experience. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that specific receivable balances may be impaired, further consideration is given to the collectability of those balances and an allowance is recorded accordingly. The total allowance for credit losses balance was $7.6 million and $9.8 million, of which the current portion was $7.4 million and $9.5 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table presents the changes in the current expected credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance as of beginning of period | $9,794 | $5,953 |
| Provision for expected credit losses | 2,052 | 3,978 |
| Write-offs, recoveries and other charges against allowance | (4,286) | (137) |
| Balance as of end of period | $7,560 | $9,794 |
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash balances are primarily invested in money market funds or on deposit at high credit quality financial institutions in the U.S. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at financial institutions where account balances may at times exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which the cash is held. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of loss.
The net book value of unbilled receivables, current are $2.9 million and $7.8 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Unbilled receivables, current are included in accounts receivable, net. The net book value of unbilled receivables, noncurrent are $5.8 million and $5.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Unbilled receivables, noncurrent are included in other noncurrent assets.
Significant Customers
A significant customer represents 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue or accounts receivable, net balance at each reporting date. For each significant customer, revenue as a percentage of total revenue and accounts receivable as a percentage of total accounts receivable were as follows:
| Accounts Receivable · Revenue · Revenue | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, · December 31, · Three Months Ended September 30, · Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Customers: | ||||||
| Customer A | 25% | 28% | * | * | * | * |
| Customer B | * | 20% | * | * | * | * |
| Customer C | * | * | 11% | * | * | * |
*Total less than 10% for the period.
There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenue is concentrated in a limited number of customers. Should a significant customer terminate or fail to renew its contracts with us, in whole or in part, for any reason, or experience significant financial or operating difficulties, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In general, a customer that makes up a significant portion of revenues in one period, may not make up a significant portion in subsequent periods.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).
Hierarchical levels which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities are as follows:
Level 1 —Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 —Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 —Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a specific input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities held by the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include cash and cash equivalents, convertible notes, and warrant liability.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net (loss) income, stockholders’ deficit or cash flows. A reclassification of $0.6 million from deferred costs with suppliers to other current assets was made to the December 31, 2024 balance sheet to conform to the September 30, 2025 presentation. This change had no impact to total current assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a $5.3 million net cash inflow was reclassified from changes in deferred costs with suppliers to changes in other assets. This change had no impact to net cash used in operating activities.
New Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, related to income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update enhance disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for companies by requiring disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in
disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. The effective date of ASU 2024-03 was amended by ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, though early adoption of is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which introduces a practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which clarifies and modernizes the guidance to reflect the evolution of software development from a sequential to an agile development method. The amendments in this update remove all references to project stages to reflect this change in software development and requires capitalization of software costs to begin when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the intended function. The amendments do not change what internal-use software costs can be capitalized or when such capitalization ceases. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, though early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The amendments may be adopted either prospectively, using a modified transition approach, or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
- REVENUE
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company’s disaggregation of revenue has been adjusted to better align the classification of revenues with the Company’s business strategy announced in 2024. Prior period comparable results have been disaggregated to reflect the change in presentation. This change did not have an impact on consolidated total revenue.
Product line revenue, as presented below, depicts the nature, amount and timing of revenue for the Company’s various offerings.
PowerTrack Software –Recurring Software as a Service (“SaaS”) revenue from our PowerTrack platform supporting customer-owned clean energy assets.
Edge Hardware –Sales of edge device hardware to aid in the collection of site data and the real-time operation and control of sites.
Project and Professional Services & Other–Full lifecycle energy services including development and engineering, procurement and integration, performance and operations support, and revenue tied to DevCo JVs.
Managed Services –Includes (1) recurring revenue related to the operation and optimization of energy storage and hybrid portfolios managed by Stem, (2) full lifecycle, storage services covering the design, procurement and commissioning of energy storage and hybrid systems and (3) Host Customer recurring and merchant revenues.
Battery Hardware Resale –Sales of energy storage systems through partnership arrangements.

Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company’s remaining performance obligations represent the unrecognized revenue value of its contractual commitments, which include deferred revenue and amounts that will be billed and recognized as revenue in future periods. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $389.4 million of remaining performance obligations, of which, we expect to recognize in revenue approximately 18%in the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized in revenue in periods thereafter.
Contract Balances
Deferred revenue primarily includes cash received in advance of revenue recognition related to PowerTrack software and optimization services and incentives. The following table presents the changes in the deferred revenue balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 (in thousands):
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |

| Ending balance | $128,921 | $157,565 |
(1) Deferred revenue written off against the associated receivables in connection to terminated projects, contract restructurings, and the parent company
guarantee arrangements discussed below.
Parent Company Guarantees
Prior to July 2023, the Company agreed in certain customer contracts to provide a parent company guarantee (“PCG”) that the value of purchased hardware will not decline for a certain period of time. Under such PCGs, if these customers were unable to install or designate the hardware to a specified project within such period of time, the Company would be required to assist the customer in re-marketing the hardware for resale by the customer. If a resale were not to occur, the hardware would be appraised utilizing a third party. Such PCGs provided that, in such cases, if the customer resold the hardware for less than the amount initially sold to the customer or the appraisal value is less than the hardware purchase price, the Company would be required to compensate the customer for any shortfall in fair value for the hardware from the initial contract price. The Company accounted for such contractual terms and guarantees as variable consideration at each measurement date. The Company updated its estimate of variable consideration each quarter with respect to the outstanding guarantees, including changes in estimates related to such guarantees, for facts or circumstances that have changed from the time of the initial estimate. As a result, the Company recorded net revenue reductions of $5.6 million and $38.7 million in hardware revenue during thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The overall reduction in revenue was related to deliveries that occurred prior to 2024.
There are no remaining PCGs outstanding, and the Company expects no future impact on its financial results as a result of PCGs.
Impairment and Accounts Receivable Write-Off
For those contracts where the customers invoked PCG protection pursuant to the applicable contract, the Company worked actively to remarket the remaining systems subject to PCG with a wide variety of potential customers. Despite such efforts, such negotiations resulted in limited transactions with mutually agreed upon pricing and terms. As stated above, under contracts containing a PCG provision, in the event that the Company and the customer are unable to remarket and sell the relevant assets, the customer was obligated to engage a third party to appraise the fair market value of the remaining hardware. None of our customers obtained such third party hardware appraisal. Given the uncertainty of collection from the original customers of due and unpaid amounts in those cases where the Company believes it has enforceable rights of recovery, the Company believed the likelihood for collection of the accounts receivable outstanding relating to hardware subject to these PCG’s was no longer probable. Accordingly, the Company wrote-off the remaining receivables of $104.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, offset by $1.6 million for amounts previously provided for on these receivables and recorded within general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025, the Company entered into an arrangement to recover $3.5 million of the receivables previously written off. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has recovered $2.7 million. The Company continues to pursue remedies with respect to its enforceable rights under applicable contracts.
- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. On September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair value due to their relatively short maturities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table provides the financial instruments measured at fair value (in thousands):
| September 30, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair Value | |
| Assets: | ||||
| Cash equivalents: | ||||
| Money market fund | $17,954 | $— | $— | $17,954 |
| Total financial assets | $17,954 | $— | $— | $17,954 |
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Warrant liability | $— | $— | $6,089 | $6,089 |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair Value | |
| Assets: | ||||
| Cash equivalents: | ||||
| Money market fund | $37,108 | $— | $— | $37,108 |
| Total financial assets | $37,108 | $— | $— | $37,108 |
The Company’s money market funds are classified as Level 1 because they are valued using quoted market prices. Warrant liability is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because its valuation is based on significant unobservable inputs, which incorporate the Company’s own assumptions in valuation techniques used to determine fair value; further discussion of these assumptions is set forth below. There wereno transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.
Fair Value of Convertible Promissory Notes
The convertible notes are recorded at face value less unamortized debt issuance costs (see Note 7—Debt for additional details) on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the 0.50% Green Convertible Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Convertible Notes”) was$17.9 million and $77.3 million, respectively, based on Level 2 quoted bid prices of the convertible notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading date of the reporting period. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the 4.25% Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”) was$33.1 million and $65.4 million, respectively, based on Level 2 quoted bid prices of the convertible notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading date of the reporting period.
Private Warrant Liability
As discussed in Note 8—Warrants, under a warrant agreement dated June 30, 2025, the Company issued 439,919 warrants (the “2030 Private Placement Warrants”), each of which entitled the holder to purchaseone share of common stock at an exercise price of$30.00.
Upon issuance, these warrants met the criteria for liability classification. The fair value of the 2030 Private Placement Warrants as of September 30, 2025 was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Inputs include exercise price, volatility, fair value of common stock, expected term, expected dividend rate and risk-free interest rate.
The key assumptions used for the valuation of the private warrant liability upon remeasurement were as follows:
| Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |
|---|---|
| 2025 | |
| Volatility | 118.6% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.7% |
| Expected term (in years) | 5.1 |
| Dividend yield | —% |

On November 22, 2021, the Company issued$460.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2028 Convertible Notes in a private placement offering to qualified institutional buyers (the “2021 Initial Purchasers”) pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 0.5% per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears in June and December of each year. The remaining 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on December 1, 2028, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Upon conversion, the Company may choose to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The 2028 Convertible Notes are redeemable for cash at the Company’s option at any time given certain conditions (as discussed below). At the time of issuance, the initial conversion rate was 34.1965 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Convertible Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $29.24 per share of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split discussed in Note 2— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies under “Basis of Presentation”, the conversion rate was adjusted to 1.7098 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $584.86 (the “2028 Conversion Price”) per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments for certain events as described in the related indenture.
The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, at the Company’s option, on or after December 5, 2025 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the 2028 Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 trading days at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company’s net proceeds from this offering were approximately $445.7 million, after deducting the 2021 Initial Purchasers’ discounts and debt issuance costs. To minimize the effect of potential dilution to the Company’s common stockholders upon conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate capped call transactions (the “2028 Capped Calls”) as described below. In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes during the second quarter of 2023, the Company used approximately $99.8 million of the net proceeds to purchase and surrender for cancellation approximately $163.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2028 Convertible Notes, which resulted in a $59.4 million gain on debt extinguishment. See 2030 Convertible Notes below for further details of the 2030 Convertible Notes.

See 2030 Senior Secured Notes below for further details.
Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company allocated all of the debt discount to long-term debt.

- NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net loss by the basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period and, accordingly, reflects the potential dilutive effect of all issuable shares of common stock, including as a result of stock options, restricted stock units, warrants and convertible notes. The diluted weighted-average number of shares used in our diluted net loss per share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method for stock options, restricted stock units, and warrants, and the if-converted method for convertible notes. For periods in which we recognize losses, the calculation of diluted loss per share is the same as the calculation of basic loss per share.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic net (loss) income per share and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, adjusted on a retroactive basis to reflect the reverse stock split as discussed in Note 2— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies under “Basis of Presentation” (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was enacted. The OBBB makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted, which is the date the legislation is signed into law. The OBBB did not have a material impact on our financial statements for the third quarter of 2025, but we continue to evaluate the potential future impact of the OBBB on our financial statements.

- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
The Company is party to various legal proceedings from time to time arising in the ordinary course of its business. A liability is accrued when a loss is both probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that the probability of a material loss with respect to any currently pending legal proceeding is remote. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to definitively predict the ultimate disposition of any of these proceedings. As of the date of this filing, the Company does not believe that there are any pending legal proceedings or other loss contingencies that will, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as a whole.
Commitments
In September 2025, the Company recognized a $0.8 million operating lease liability and a corresponding operating lease right-of use asset, which are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025, consisting of 4,263 square feet of leased office in Berlin, Germany. As of the commencement date of the lease, the remaining lease term was 60 months and base rent is approximately $16,025 per month with escalating payments over the lease term.
In September 2025, the Company terminated the lease for its office in Gurugram, India. As a result, the Company derecognized the related right-of-use asset and lease liability. The Company recorded net lease termination costs of $0.1 million recorded within other (expenses) income, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. No future lease commitments remain under this agreement. The Company now leases office space under a month-to-month arrangement that qualifies as a short-term lease under ASC 842. As such, the Company has elected not to recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for this lease.
Non-cancelable Purchase Obligations
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our non-cancelable purchase obligations.
Non-Income Related Taxes
During 2023, the Company was selected for sales and use tax examination by the state of California and determined that it was not appropriately charging certain customers sales tax and remitting the applicable amounts to the taxing authority for certain revenue arrangements from 2018 through 2022. The Company determined it was probable that it would be subject to sales tax liabilities plus applicable interest in certain states, principally California, and estimated a probable tax liability of $5.6 million. The Company accrued this amount and included it in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations in 2023. During 2025, the sales and use tax examination was extended by the state of California to include revenue arrangements for 2023 and 2024. The California sales and use tax examination is ongoing and the Company is awaiting final ruling on its sales tax administration process and clarity on the required settlement amount.
