Second-Quarter 2027 Financial Highlights
Current report
Service revenue increased by $6.0 million, or 29%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to growth in customer demand for product enablement and adoption services.
Current report
Cost of service increased by $1.4 million, or 7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased professional fees of $0.6 million to support product enablement and adoption for our growing business.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased $10.3 million, or 21%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased personnel costs of $2.5 million, inclusive of $1.0 million share-based compensation. Acquisition-related costs increased by $4.7 million, primarily associated with our acquisition of Arize AI, Inc. (“Arize”), which closed on October 1, 2026. For additional information, please see Note 15, Subsequent Events, of the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report.
Current report
Interest income, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 decreased 11% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to unamortized debt issuance costs recognized in connection with the termination of the 2022 Credit Facility (as defined below) and higher amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2031 Notes (as defined below).
Current report
Income tax expense was $39.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, which increased by $9.3 million from $29.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income and the NCTI inclusion, partially offset by the recognition of a $9.4 million tax benefit related to an intra-entity transfer of the global economic rights of Bindplane IP from a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Company to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary of the Company.

Current report
Amortization of acquired technology increased by $2.8 million, or 163%, for the six months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2025.

Current report
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $28.9 million, or 9%, for the six months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily the result of increased personnel costs of $16.7 million, inclusive of share-based compensation, due to headcount growth as we continue to invest in our go-to-market strategy. Further contributing to the increase were higher selling costs of $4.5 million and increased advertising and marketing costs of $2.6 million.

Amortization of other intangibles
Current report
Amortization of other intangibles increased by $0.5 million, for the six months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to amortization from other intangible assets acquired as part of the Bindplane acquisition during the first quarter of fiscal 2027.
Current report
Other expense, net, was marginal for the six months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to other income, net, of $7.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The change was primarily the result of foreign currency realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the impact of transactions denominated in a foreign currency, including balances between subsidiaries.
Current report
On October 1, 2026, we acquired Arize for consideration of $815.9 million of cash paid at closing and an aggregate 1.8 million shares of restricted stock and RSUs, valued at $98.2 million. The shares of restricted stock are subject to release in the future and the RSUs will vest based on future service periods.

2031 Exchangeable Senior Notes
Current report
In August 2026, we issued $1,437.5 million aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable Senior Notes (the “2031 Notes”). The 2031 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that bear no interest and mature on September 1, 2031, unless earlier exchanged, redeemed, or repurchased.
Current report
We received net proceeds of $1,411.5 million from the issuance of the 2031 Notes after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and other debt issuance costs. We used $167.8 million of the net proceeds to pay the cost of exchangeable note hedges (the “2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges”), offset by proceeds from the issuance of warrants (the “2031 Warrants”). In addition, we used $134.7 million of the net proceeds to repurchase approximately 2.8 million shares of our common stock from certain purchasers of the 2031 Notes in privately negotiated transactions.
Current report
Upon exchange of the 2031 Notes, we may satisfy our obligation in either cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of both, at our election. As of September 30, 2026, $1,437.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes were outstanding, which could adversely affect our liquidity if settled in cash. For additional information, please see Note 8, Long-term Debt, of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Current report
Credit Facilities
Current report
In December 2022, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2022 Credit Facility”) in an aggregate amount of $400.0 million. In August 2026, in connection with the issuance of the 2031 Notes, we terminated the 2022 Credit Facility. No obligations were outstanding at the time of termination.
Current report
On November 3, 2026, we announced a new share repurchase program under which we are authorized to purchase up to $1 billion of common stock. Share repurchases under the new authorization may commence upon the full utilization of our share repurchase authorization that began on February 11, 2026. Including the new authorization, we had approximately $1.3 billion of total remaining buyback capacity as of November 2, 2026. For additional information, please see Note 15, Subsequent Events, of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities was $723.6 million during the six months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to $99.1 million of net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2025. The $822.6 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities was driven by $1,411.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Notes, net of debt issuance costs, and $244.8 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Warrants related to the 2031 Notes, partially offset by a $427.8 million increase in repurchases of common stock and $412.6 million paid to purchase the 2031 Exchangeable Note Hedges.
