Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor provisions” of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this quarterly report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, or current expectations concerning, among other things, anticipated cost savings, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, and the markets in which we operate. Such forward-looking statements are based on available current market material and management’s expectations, beliefs, and forecasts concerning future events impacting us. Factors that may impact such forward-looking statements include:

•our dependence on third parties, including public sources, for data, information, and other services, and our relationships with such third parties;

•increased accessibility to free or relatively inexpensive information sources;

•our ability to compete in the highly competitive industry in which we operate, and potential adverse effects of this competition;

•our ability to maintain high annual renewal rates;

•our ability to maintain revenues if our products and services do not achieve and maintain broad market acceptance, or if we are unable to keep pace with or adapt to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, macroeconomic market conditions, and changing regulatory requirements;

•changes in government policy positions, including trade policy, spending priorities, or reductions in government programs, government spending, or research funding;

•the success of our Value Creation Plan;

•our loss of, or inability to attract and retain, key personnel;

•the effectiveness of our business continuity plans;

•our ability to derive fully the anticipated benefits from organic growth, existing or future acquisitions, joint ventures, investments, or dispositions;

•our exposure to risk from having operations and employees in Israel;

•our exposure to risk from the international scope of our operations, including potentially adverse tax consequences from the international scope of our operations and our corporate and financing structure;

•the strength of our brand and reputation;

•our level of indebtedness, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations;

•our ability to obtain, protect, defend, or enforce our intellectual property rights;

•our ability to leverage artificial intelligence technologies (“AI”) in our products and services, including generative AI, large language models (“LLMs”), machine learning, and other AI tools;

•any significant disruption in or unauthorized access to or breaches of our computer systems or those of third parties that we utilize in our operations, including those relating to cybersecurity or arising from cyberattacks;

•our use of “open source” software in our products and services;

•our ability to comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws; and

•other factors beyond our control.

The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in Item 1A. Risk Factorsof this quarterly report and Item 1A. Risk Factorsin our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
