  1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited interim consolidated financial information

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders’ equity, and statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the related disclosures are unaudited. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2024 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

Use of estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management evaluates such estimates and assumptions for continued reasonableness. In particular, the Company makes estimates with respect to the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the allowance for credit losses, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the valuation of long-lived assets, the period of benefit for deferred commissions and material rights, income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, and the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, among other things. Management bases these estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant accounting policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
