The preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to these estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, the recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and asset acquisitions at fair value, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, valuation allowances for receivables, and valuation of excess and obsolete inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 — Acquisitions
Bridg Asset Acquisition
On January 23, 2026, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, DB Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("DB Sub"), and Cardlytics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Cardlytics"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire, through DB Sub, substantially all of Cardlytics' point-of-sale data analytics, loyalty marketing, and retail media network business assets offered through the Bridg platform (the "Bridg Asset Acquisition"). The Company also agreed to assume certain liabilities associated with the acquired assets. On March 24, 2026 (the "Bridg Closing Date"), the Bridg Asset Acquisition closed and the Company issued 1,810,222 shares of common stock as consideration, which was determined by dividing the $27.5 million purchase price by the volume weighted average price of a share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the fifteen consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the Bridg Closing Date. The Company acquired the assets to expand its Engagement Cloud product and service offerings.
The total consideration for the Bridg Asset Acquisition was approximately $25.1 million, consisting of $24.8 million of equity consideration, determined using the $13.72 closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the Bridg Closing Date, and $0.3 million of acquisition expenses related to the Bridg Asset Acquisition that were capitalized as a component of the cost of the assets acquired.
The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the Bridg Closing Date, and no goodwill is recognized. The preliminary fair value determinations were based on management's estimates and assumptions, with the assistance of valuation consultants. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to revision as management finalizes its valuation procedures.
The following table presents management's preliminary purchase price allocation:

Intangible Assets
The Company identified two acquired intangible assets in the Bridg Asset Acquisition: developed technology and customer relationships. The preliminary fair value of developed technology was determined utilizing the “relief from royalty” approach, which is a form of the income approach that attributes savings recognized from not having to pay a royalty for the use of an asset. The Company applied a seven year economic life, a fair and reasonable royalty rate of 10.0%, and a discount rate of 23.5% in determining the Bridg developed technology intangible preliminary fair value. The preliminary fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset was determined utilizing the “multi-period excess earnings method,” which method is predicated upon the calculation of the net present value of after-tax net cash flows respectively attributable to each asset. The Company applied a 20.0% estimated annual attrition rate and discount rate of 23.5% in determining the Bridg customer relationships intangible preliminary fair value. The estimated useful life of each of the foregoing identifiable intangible assets was preliminarily determined to be: seven years for developed technology and seven years for customer relationships.

Note 7 — Debt
Pursuant to privately negotiated agreements dated January 14, 2026, on January 23, 2026, the Company acquired $17.1 million aggregate principal amount of its remaining outstanding 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes") in exchange for 485,186 shares of the Company's common stock, plus approximately $134,000 in cash for accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of 2026 Notes exchanged to, but excluding, the closing date (the “Notes Exchange”). The difference between the fair value of the original conversion terms and the fair value of the induced conversion terms at the time of settlement resulted in an inducement loss on settlement of convertible notes of approximately $3.5 million, which is recorded in gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Following the Notes Exchange, an aggregate of $2.9 million principal amount of the 2026 Notes remained outstanding.
On March 17, 2026, the Company completed a private offering of $265.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), which amount includes $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes issued pursuant to the initial purchasers' full exercise of their option to purchase additional 2031 Notes. The 2031 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated March 17, 2026, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2031 Notes bear an interest of 4.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2026. Interest accrues on the 2031 Notes from the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from March 17, 2026. Unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased, the 2031 Notes mature on March 15, 2031. The 2031 Notes are convertible into Company common stock at an initial conversion rate of 52.5762 shares per $1,000 principal amount. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $8.0 million related to the offering of the 2031 Notes.
On March 17, 2026, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from its sale of the 2031 Notes to repurchase $212.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes") for approximately $207.5 million, consisting of $206.2 million paid to retire the principal and $1.3 million of accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recognized a $3.9 million gain on extinguishment of debt as a result of repurchasing a portion of the 2027 Notes at a price below their carrying value, partially offset by the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. This gain is included in gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Following the repurchase, an aggregate of $53.0 million principal amount of the 2027 Notes remained outstanding.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if convertible securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. As of March 31, 2026, there were 806,179 anti-dilutive stock options outstanding compared to 705,000 as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, there were 778,477 anti-dilutive restricted stock units outstanding compared to 1,216,000 as of March 31, 2025.

Note 13 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments have been recorded at fair value using available market information and valuation techniques. The fair value hierarchy is based upon three levels of input, which are:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable)
Level 2 — inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable)
Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable)
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash held on behalf of customers, short-term investments, and debt instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, cash held on behalf of customers, and short-term investments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were considered representative of their fair values because of their short-term nature and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Debt instruments are recorded at principal amount net of unamortized debt issuance cost (refer to "Note 7 — Debt" for additional information). The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"), and the 2031 Notes (together with the 2026 Notes,
the 2027 Notes, and the 2030 Notes, the "Senior Notes") at March 31, 2026 was $2.9 million, $49.2 million, $89.6 million, and $275.8 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, and 2030 Notes at December 31, 2025 was $20.7 million, $260.7 million, and $98.6 million, respectively. The valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of the Company's long-term debt are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are derived from broker quotations.

Macroeconomic Environment
The tariff and supply chain environment remains complex and evolving. Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, the U.S. government implemented a series of significant new tariffs, including under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"), affecting imports from several countries where we source certain components and hardware products. Other countries responded with retaliatory actions or plans for retaliatory actions. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, though the administrative process for seeking refunds remains under development and subject to considerable uncertainty. Following the ruling, the administration announced a replacement, time-limited 10% global ad valorem tariff effective February 24, 2026, which has subsequently been subject to legal challenge. In March 2026, the U.S. Trade Representative was directed to initiate new investigations for the purpose of building the legal foundation for a second round of durable, country-specific tariffs. The resulting situation remains uncertain and fluid.
Additionally, increased demand for hardware products and components from AI data center construction around the world continues to create uncertainty as to whether these products will be available or available in needed quantities and quality or at favorable or competitive prices. We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties in light of continuing changes to global trade policies and supply chain pressures, which may have adverse effects on our hardware revenue and hardware gross margin.
As a result of these events, we anticipate increased supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty. Management continues to evaluate and implement mitigating actions, including potential supply chain resiliency movements, cost or pricing measures and alternative shipping practices, if needed, as the macroeconomic environment evolves.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Total revenues were $124.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $20.1 million or 19.4% compared to $103.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Subscription service revenues were $78.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $10.1 million or 14.8% compared to $68.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased Engagement Cloud subscription service revenues of $6.2 million, primarily driven by growth in average revenue per site through cross-selling initiatives, upselling, and price increases. Operator Cloud subscription service revenues increased $3.9 million, primarily driven by growth in active sites.
Hardware revenues were $29.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $7.4 million or 33.9% compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased revenues from sales of terminals of $3.8 million, peripherals (scanners, printers, and components) of $0.9 million, kiosks of $0.9 million, and an increase in international sales of $0.8 million. These increases were substantially driven by the timing of tier-one enterprise customer hardware refresh cycles and the onboarding of Operator Cloud customers purchasing hardware. Hardware revenues will continue to be affected by the timing of the aforementioned drivers.
Professional service revenues were $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $2.6 million or 19.0% compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $2.3 million increase in installation revenues associated with the onboarding of Tier 1 Operator Cloud customers.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Total gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased to 44.0% from 46.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Subscription service margin as a percentage of subscription service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased to 55.6% from 57.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease primarily reflects a change in subscription service revenue mix, as product and service offerings with comparatively lower gross margins represented a greater proportion of revenue, consistent with the mix shift that began in the second quarter of 2025.
24
Hardware margin as a percentage of hardware revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased to 21.6% from 24.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by a shift in hardware product mix and higher tariff-related costs compared to the prior year. While pricing adjustments initiated in the third quarter of 2025 have partially mitigated these cost increases, they have not fully offset the impact, resulting in continued margin compression. The Company plans to implement additional pricing actions and will continue to evaluate its pricing strategy on a quarterly basis.
Professional service margin as a percentage of professional service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased to 27.8% from 25.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by improved margins in our hardware service repair operations and field operations as a result of reduced third-party spending and improved cost management.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
We monitor certain key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation and management of our business; certain key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures are provided in this Quarterly Report because we believe they are useful in facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect and should be viewed independently of our financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures are not forecasts or indicators of future or expected results and should not have undue reliance placed upon them by investors.
Key Performance Indicators
Within this Quarterly Report the Company makes reference to annual recurring revenue, or ARR, and active sites, which are both key performance indicators. The Company uses ARR and active sites as key performance indicators of the scale of our subscription services for both new and existing customers.
ARR is the annualized revenue from our subscription services, which includes subscription fees for our SaaS solutions and related support, managed platform development services, and transaction-based fees for payment processing services. We generally calculate ARR by annualizing the monthly recurring revenue for all active sites as of the last day of each month for the respective reporting period. ARR is an operating measure, it does not reflect our revenue determined in accordance with GAAP, and ARR should be viewed independently of, and not combined with or substituted for, our revenue and other financial information determined in accordance with GAAP. Further, ARR is not a forecast of future revenue and investors should not place undue reliance on ARR as an indicator of our future or expected results.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised its methodology for classifying organic and inorganic ARR. Under the revised methodology, inorganic ARR is defined as ARR attributable to an acquisition as of the acquisition date. Any change to ARR subsequent to that date is classified as organic ARR. Management believes this methodology provides investors with useful information differentiating ARR acquired in a transaction from ARR changes driven by operating performance after acquisition. Prior to this change, ARR contributions from acquisitions were classified as inorganic for the first twelve months following acquisition. Our reported ARR is based on a constant currency, using the exchange rates established at the beginning of the year and consistently applied
27
throughout the period and to comparative periods presented. The table below presents our ARR on a constant currency basis, calculated using the exchange rates set at the beginning of 2026. Using the exchange rates established during the prior period, Engagement Cloud ARR and Operator Cloud ARR as of March 31, 2025 were $1.0 million and $0.6 million lower, respectively, than the constant currency ARR reported below.
Active sites represent locations active on our subscription services as of the last day of the respective reporting period. Our key performance indicators ARR and active sites are presented as two subscription service product lines:
•Engagement Cloud consisting of PAR Engagement (Punchh and PAR Ordering), PAR Retail, Plexure, and Bridg product offerings.
•Operator Cloud consisting of PAR POS, PAR Pay, PAR OPS (Data Central and Delaget), and TASK product offerings.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with GAAP, this Quarterly Report contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items below. The income tax effect of the below adjustments were not tax-effected due to the valuation allowance on all of our net deferred tax assets.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Additionally, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies.
| Non-GAAP Measure or Adjustment | Definition | Usefulness to management and investors | ||||||
| Non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage | Represents subscription service gross margin percentage adjusted to exclude amortization from acquired and internally developed software, stock-based compensation, and severance. | We believe that non-GAAP subscription service gross margin percentage and adjusted EBITDA provide useful perspectives with respect to the Company's core operating performance and ongoing cash earnings by adjusting for certain non-cash and non-recurring charges that may not be indicative of our financial performance. | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | Represents net loss before income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, transaction costs, severance, litigation expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net, and other (income) expense, net. | |||||||
| Non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share | Represents net loss per share excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-recurring income taxes, non-cash interest, discontinued operations, stock-based compensation, transaction costs, severance, litigation expense, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net, and other (income) expense, net. | We believe that adjusting our diluted net loss per share to remove non-cash and non-recurring charges provides a useful perspective with respect to the Company's operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results. | ||||||
| Stock-based compensation | Consists of non-cash charges related to our employee equity incentive plans. | We exclude stock-based compensation because management does not view these non-cash charges as part of our core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results. | ||||||
| Transaction costs | Adjustment reflects non-recurring professional fees incurred in transaction due diligence and integration. | We exclude professional fees incurred in corporate development because management does not view these non-recurring charges, which are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of our transactions, as part of our core operating performance. This adjustment facilitates a useful evaluation of our current operating performance, comparisons to past and competitor operating results, and additional means to evaluate expense trends. | ||||||
29
| Non-GAAP Measure or Adjustment | Definition | Usefulness to management and investors | ||||||
| Severance | Adjustment reflects severance tied to non-recurring restructuring events included in cost of sales, sales and marketing expense, general and administrative expense, and research and development expense. | We exclude these non-recurring adjustments because management does not view these costs as part of our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance as well as comparisons to past and competitor operating results. | ||||||
| Litigation expense | Adjustment reflects non-recurring legal fees incurred in connection with certain litigation matters. | |||||||
| (Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net | Adjustment reflects gain recognized on the repurchase of a portion of the 2027 Notes, partially offset by loss recognized on the induced conversion of a portion of the 2026 Notes, and loss recognized on early repayment of former credit facility with Blue Owl Capital Corporation as administrative agent and collateral agent and Blue Owl Credit Advisors, LLC as lead arranger and bookrunner (the "Credit Facility"). | |||||||
| Discontinued operations | Adjustment reflects income from discontinued operations related to the divestiture of our Government segment. | |||||||
| Other (income) expense, net | Adjustment reflects foreign currency transaction gains and losses and other non-recurring income and expenses recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying statements of operations. | |||||||
| Non-cash interest | Adjustment reflects non-cash amortization of issuance costs and discount related to the Company's long-term debt. | We exclude these non-cash and non-recurring adjustments for purposes of calculating non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share because management does not view these costs as part of our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our current operating performance, comparisons to past and competitor operating results, and additional means to evaluate expense trends. | ||||||
| Acquired intangible assets amortization | Adjustment reflects amortization expense of acquired developed technology included within cost of sales and amortization expense of acquired intangible assets. | |||||||

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $77.2 million. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less, including money market funds.
Cash used in operating activities was $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by improved profitability from our core operations, partially offset by an increased investment in inventory to support anticipated customer demand.
Cash used in investing activities was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 included capital expenditures of $2.4 million for developed technology costs associated with our software platforms and capital expenditures of $0.3 million for fixed assets. The greater amount of cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was largely driven by the GoSkip Asset Acquisition.
Cash provided by financing activities was $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily consisted of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2031 Notes of $257.1 million (net of issuance costs), partially offset by $206.2 million used to repurchase a portion of the 2027 Notes and $33.1 million used to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily consisted of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2030 Notes of $111.1 million (net of issuance costs), partially offset by the repayment in full of $93.6 million principal amount outstanding under the Credit Facility plus accrued interest and prepayment premium. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.
Over the next 12 months our total contractual obligations are $84.2 million, consisting of purchase commitments for normal operations (purchase of inventory, software licensing, use of external labor, and third-party cloud services) of $63.8 million, interest payments of $14.9 million and principal payments of $2.9 million related to long-term debt, and facility lease obligations of $2.6 million. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flows expected to be generated by our operations, will be sufficient to fund these commitments.
Our non-current contractual obligations are $510.1 million, consisting of purchase commitments for normal operations (purchase of inventory, software licensing, use of external labor, and third-party cloud services) of $14.3 million, interest payments of $54.1 million and principal payments of $433.0 million related to long-term debt, and facility leases of $8.7 million. Refer to “Note 7 — Debt” of the notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements in "Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited)" of this Quarterly Report for additional information. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flows expected to be generated by our operations, and if necessary, equity, equity-linked, or debt financing arrangements, will be sufficient to fund these commitments. Our actual cash needs will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, growth of our SaaS revenues, the timing and extent of spending to support our product development and acquisition integration efforts, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, market acceptance of our products, and the factors described above in "Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and
32
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, in the 2025 Annual Report, and in our other filings with the SEC.
From time to time, we may seek to raise additional capital through equity, equity-linked, and debt financing arrangements. In addition, our board of directors and management regularly evaluate our business, strategy, and financial plans and prospects. As part of this evaluation, the board of directors and management periodically consider strategic alternatives to maximize value for our shareholders, including strategic transactions such as an acquisition, or a sale or spin-off of non-strategic company assets or businesses. We cannot provide assurance that any additional financing or strategic alternatives will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our financial statements are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense amounts reported. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and adequacy on a consistent basis. Significant items subject to these estimates and assumptions include revenue recognition, the recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and asset acquisitions at fair value, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, valuation allowances for receivables, and valuation of excess and obsolete inventories. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our estimates are subject to uncertainties, including those associated with market conditions, risks and trends. Refer to "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report for additional information. Our critical accounting policies have not changed materially from the discussion of those policies included under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our primary exposures relate to certain non-dollar denominated sales and operating expenses in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia. These primary currencies are the Great British Pound, the Euro, the Swiss Franc, the Serbian Dinar, the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, the Singapore dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Indian Rupee, the Japanese Yen, the Polish Zloty, and the Chinese Renminbi. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may negatively affect our revenue and net loss as expressed in U.S. dollars. We also have foreign currency risk related to foreign currency transactions and monetary assets and liabilities, including intercompany balances denominated in currencies that are not the functional currency. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net loss as a result of gains (losses) on these foreign currency transactions and the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2026, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our revenues and net loss was not material. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, we estimated that a 10 percent change in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar would not have a material impact on earnings, cash flows, or fair values over a one-year period, and we have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging transactions.
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2026, we had $2.9 million, $53.0 million, $115.0 million, and $265.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding on the 2026 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2030 Notes, and the 2031 Notes, respectively.
We carry the Senior Notes at face value less unamortized debt issuance costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Senior Notes are subject to interest rate risk, market risk, and other factors due to their conversion features. In particular, the fair value of the Senior Notes changes when interest rates change or the market price of our stock fluctuates, with the fair value of the Senior Notes generally increasing as our stock price increases and generally decreasing as our stock price declines. Despite the effects of interest rate and market value changes on the Senior Notes’ fair value, we have no financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates related to the Senior Notes because they bear interest at fixed rates. At March 31, 2026, a hypothetical 10 percent change in interest rates would not have a material impact on earnings or cash flows over a one-year period.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, did not identify any changes that occurred in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information in "Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies” of the notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1. "Financial Statements (unaudited)" is incorporated herein by reference. We do not believe that we have any pending litigation that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
The risks described in the Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors” section of our 2025 Annual Report could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. Except as modified, updated, or supplemented below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our 2025 Annual Report.
The trading price and volume of our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, volatility, which could result in losses for our shareholders.
The trading price and volume of our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, volatility, which could result in losses for our shareholders. Additionally, such volatility could limit our ability to finance strategic transactions, including acquisitions, using our common stock, potentially impacting our ability to pursue valuable opportunities. A number of factors can impact the trading price of our common stock, including:
•the actual or perceived impact of uncertainties, volatility, and economic disruption created by macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical events, including, inflation, recession, interest rate fluctuations, actual and potential shifts in and uncertainties with respect to U.S. and foreign trade policies (including new or increased tariffs or other trade restrictions implemented by the U.S. or retaliatory trade measures or tariffs implemented by other countries), actual or anticipated military or political conflicts (including the Russian-Ukraine war, tensions with China and between China and Taiwan, hostilities in the Middle East) and global pandemics or other public health crises, on our business, our customers, and the industries in which we operate;
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and results of operations (including shortfalls or changes in expectations about, our revenue, gross margins, earnings, ARR, sales of our product and service offerings or other key performance metrics;
•the performance and prospects of major customers;
•our quarterly or annual financial results or those of other companies operating in our industries;
•the impact if our operating results or key metrics fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts or below any guidance we may provide to the market;
•investor perception of us and the industries in which we operate;
•the contents of published research reports about us or the industries in which we operate;
•any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;
•actions by institutional shareholders;
34
•operating and stock performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us (and changes in their market valuations) and overall performance of the equity markets;
•announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, dispositions, strategic relationships, or capital commitments; and
•litigation and governmental investigations.
In addition, the market for technology stocks or the stock market in general has experienced and may continue to experience uneven investor confidence, which may cause the trading price for our common stock to decline for reasons unrelated to our operating performance.
Item 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In February 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $100.0 million of its common stock in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, or by other means, including under Rule 10b5-1 plans. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had repurchased 2,089,905 shares of its common stock in privately negotiated transactions with or through one or more affiliates of the initial purchasers at a price of $15.85 per share, for a total of approximately $33.1 million under this program.
All share repurchases were made under this publicly announced program, and there are no other programs under which the Company repurchases shares. The table below presents a summary of the Company's purchases of its common stock for the time periods presented:

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Director and Officer Trading Arrangements
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, none of the Company’s directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) adopted, modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K), except as follows:
On March 3, 2026, Cathy King, our Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, modified her March 14, 2025, trading plan to change the price limits for sales under the plan and extend the plan end date. The modified plan is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c), provides for the sale of up to 20,000 shares upon the exercise of stock options, and will expire on July 29, 2026, subject to early termination for certain specified events set forth in the plan.
