Our industry is intensely competitive, and many of our competitors have greater financial, technical and sales and marketing resources and largerlarger, installedestablished customer bases, which could enable them to compete more effectively than we do.
The data protection and cyber resiliencyresilience market is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and characterized by rapidly changingevolving technology and evolvingindustry standards, changing customer requirementsrequirements, and frequent new product introductions. CompetitorsOur competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the products and services offered.they Weoffer. mustOur continuallyprimary innovatecompetitors toinclude maintainRubrik, Cohesity, and Veeam, and we also face competition from large technology companies, cloud providers, service providers, and other current or emerging market participants that offer products or services that compete with aspects of our marketportfolio position.or that customers may view as substitutes for our offerings.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, sales, and marketing resources than we do, as well as larger installed customer bases and greater brand recognition. These competitors may be better positioned to respond more quickly to new or evolving technologies, customer requirements, and industry standards, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale, and support of their products. Competition in our industry is influenced by a number of factors, including product functionality, performance, and integration; breadth of platform and workload coverage; ability to invest and scale; pricing and total cost of ownership; global sales infrastructure; quality of technical support; brand recognition and reputation; and the ability to address customers’ evolving cyber resilience requirements. If we are unable to compete effectively across these factors, our competitive position could weaken, and we could experience reduced revenue, margin pressure, or loss of market share, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In addition, it is often costly and time-consuming for customers to replace existing cyber resilience systems. Most of our prospective and newly adopted customers have previously implemented competing solutions, which may provide incumbent vendors with advantages in retaining those customers due to existing familiarity with customer environments, data architectures, and operational requirements. Some customers may be reluctant to incur the cost, complexity, or operational risk associated with switching vendors, which could limit our ability to win new customers or expand within existing customer environments.
We also face competitive risks related to the ongoing transition within the industry from traditional on‑premises solutions to cloud‑based and SaaS delivery models. While we have substantially completed our transition from a perpetual licensing model to a subscription‑based model delivered through term‑based licenses or SaaS, certain competitors have operated under cloud‑native models for longer periods. Differences in deployment models, customer adoption rates, infrastructure requirements, and pricing expectations may adversely affect our ability to compete in certain segments or use cases.
Competition may further intensify as we expand into new markets, as existing competitors broaden their product offerings, and as new competitors enter the market. We also expect increased competition as a result of industry consolidation, including from OEMs, systems and network management companies, and other market participants that may leverage acquisitions, bundled offerings, or established customer relationships to compete with our solutions. Increased competition could result in pricing pressure, reduced margins, loss of market share, or reduced demand for our products, any of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In addition, the highly competitive nature of the cyber resilience industry makes it challenging to attract and retain skilled employees. Our ability to compete successfully depends, in part, on our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel, and increased competition for talent could increase our costs or adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy.
The principal competitive factors in our industry include product functionality and integration, platform coverage, ability to invest and scale, price, worldwide sales infrastructure, global technical support, brand recognition and reputation. If we are unable to address these factors, our competitive position could weaken and we could experience a decline in revenues that could adversely affect our business.
It is also costly and time-consuming to change cyber resilience systems. Most of our new customers previously adopted cyber resilience systems, which gives an incumbent competitor an advantage in retaining a customer because the incumbent already understands the network infrastructure, user demands and information technology needs of the customer, and because some customers are reluctant to invest the time and money necessary to change vendors. There are complexities involved in transitioning from traditional on-premises solutions to cloud-based services, including customer adoption rates and the need for scalable infrastructure. Commvault has substantially completed the transition from a perpetual licensing model to a subscription-based model delivered through either term based licenses or SaaS, whereas certain of our competitors are already fully cloud-native.
New competitors entering our markets may have a negative impact on our competitive positioning. As we enter new markets, we expect to encounter new competitors. Many of our existing competitors are broadening their product breadth and scope. We expect increased competition from OEMs, including those we partner with, and from systems and network management companies, especially those that have historically focused on the mainframe computer market and have been making acquisitions and broadening their efforts to include cyber resilience products. We expect that competition will increase as a result of future industry consolidation. Increased competition could harm our business by causing, among other things, price reductions of our products, reduced profitability and loss of market share. Additionally, attracting and retaining skilled professionals is a common challenge in the cyber resilience space, due to the intensely competitive nature of the industry.

If we fail to manage our resellers successfully, there may be conflicts between resellers or they could fail to perform as we anticipate, including required compliance with the terms and conditions of our agreement, either of which could reduce our sales or impact our reputation in the market. In addition, we expect that a portion of our sales growth will depend upon our ability to identify and attract new resellers. Our competitors also use reseller arrangements and may be more successful in attracting resellers and could enter into exclusive relationships with resellers that make it difficult to expand our reseller network. Any failure on our part to maintain and/or expand our network of resellers could impair our ability to grow revenues in the future.suffer.
A portion of our future growth depends on our ability to identify, attract, and retain new resellers. Our competitors also use reseller and partner-based arrangements and may be more successful in recruiting partners or entering into exclusive or more favorable arrangements, which could limit our ability to expand or maintain our reseller network. Failure to maintain or expand our network of resellers could impair our ability to grow revenues.

We also sell our solutions through cloud-based marketplace offerings operated by third-party platform providers. Marketplace providers generally act as agents in these transactions and have no obligation to promote, recommend, or continue to offer our solutions, and may change platform policies, pricing structures, or technical requirements in ways that are unfavorable to us. These transactions include sales to both new and existing customers and may include new purchases, software renewals, expansions by existing customers, and subscriptions for both on‑premise and SaaS offerings. Our inability to effectively compete or maintain visibility within marketplace channels could adversely affect our sales and operating results.
If we are unable to price our solutions competitively, manage costs associated with delivering our offerings, or maintain the scope and duration of customer subscriptions and support agreements, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from subscription arrangements, including term‑based software licenses, associated term‑based support for those licenses, and SaaS arrangements. These arrangements are generally priced in a competitive market and are subject to ongoing pricing pressure from competitors, customer budget constraints, and evolving customer expectations, particularly as customers transition from traditional on‑premises deployments to cloud‑based and SaaS delivery models.
At the end of an initial or renewal term, customers may elect not to renew, renew for shorter contract durations, reduce the number of workloads, users, or other subscription units, migrate to lower‑cost configurations, or seek concessions related to pricing or contract terms. These outcomes may be driven by competitive offerings, customer cost‑optimization initiatives, broader economic conditions, or changes in customers’ technology strategies. Any such changes could adversely affect our revenues, margins, and long‑term growth prospects.
Our ability to compete effectively on pricing and contract terms may be further affected by our cost structure, including costs associated with delivering SaaS offerings. As we continue to support hybrid, multi‑cloud, and SaaS deployment models, we incur ongoing infrastructure, hosting, security, and operational costs that may increase over time due to changes in usage patterns, cloud service pricing, or other factors beyond our control. If we are unable to manage these costs effectively or offset them through pricing, operational efficiencies, or volume growth, our margins and profitability could be adversely affected.
Our reliance on interoperability with third‑party platforms, operating systems, cloud environments, and hardware products, as well as ongoing supply chain constraints, could adversely affect our product development, customer satisfaction, and results of operations.
Our solutions are designed to interoperate with certain third-party operating systems, cloud platforms, applications, and hardware products that are developed, controlled or distributed by others. These include widely used operating systems such as Windows, UNIX, Linux and other platforms, as well as database technologies, cloud infrastructure services, and hardware products offered by numerous manufacturers. Our ability to deliver and support our solutions depends in part on the continued interoperability of our products with these third‑party technologies.
When new or updated versions of operating systems, cloud platforms, applications, or hardware products are introduced, or when existing third‑party technologies are modified, we may be required to devote significant time, engineering effort, and financial resources for continued compatibility. We may not be able to complete these development efforts in a timely or cost‑effective manner, or at all. In addition, third parties may make changes to their products, platforms, or commercial terms that degrade the functionality of our solutions, limit our ability to support certain configurations, or require us to make unplanned investments to maintain interoperability.
Our reliance on third‑party hardware products, particularly for our on-premise license solutions, also exposes us to risks associated with global supply chain disruptions, including increased hardware costs, limited product availability and extended lead times. We provide demand forecasts to our supply chain partners, and if those forecasts prove inaccurate, we could incur or experience delays in fulfilling customer orders. Industry‑wide supply constraints, inflationary pressures, logistics disruptions, or changes in supplier priorities could result in delays in hardware availability or increased costs that are passed on to customers. These conditions may impact our ability to deliver integrated solutions, support certain customer deployments, or meet customer expectations for implementation timelines, which could adversely affect customer satisfaction, demand for our solutions, or our competitive position.
In addition, uncertainties in the availability, pricing, or performance characteristics of third‑party hardware and infrastructure components may complicate customer purchasing decisions or delay customers’ adoption or expansion of cyber resilience solutions. These risks may be heightened during periods of elevated demand, geopolitical instability, trade restrictions, or other factors beyond our control that affect the global technology supply chain. If we are unable to maintain effective interoperability with third‑party platforms and hardware products, respond adequately to supply chain disruptions, or absorb or pass through increased costs associated with these dependencies, our product development efforts, sales, results of operations, and overall business could be materially adversely affected.
We also sell our solutions via marketplace offerings which enable customers to purchase our solutions through online platforms, typically hosted by a cloud provider. The marketplace allows us to publish an offer which an end user can then purchase directly, or through the assistance of a partner. Similar to our resellers and OEMs, marketplace providers have no obligation to sell or recommend our solutions or offer our solutions exclusively or at all. Failure to effectively compete in the marketplace could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations in the future.
If the cost for maintenance and support agreements, or our term-based subscription licenses and SaaS arrangements, with our customers is not competitive in the market or if our customers do not renew their agreements, either at all or on terms that are less favorable to us, our business and financial performance might be adversely impacted.
Most of our support and maintenance agreements are for a one-year term and thereafter, we pursue renewal thereof. Historically, such renewals have represented a significant portion of our total revenues. If our customers do not renew their annual maintenance and support agreements, either at all or on terms that are less favorable to us, our business and financial performance might be adversely impacted.
Additionally, a significant amount of our revenues are from term-based software license and SaaS arrangements. Those arrangements are typically one to three years in duration. If at the end of the initial term, customers elect to not renew, or they renew on terms that are less favorable to us, our business and financial performance might be adversely impacted.
Volatility in the global economyeconomy, including changes in trade policy or tariffs, could adversely impactaffect our continued growth, results of operationsoperations, financial condition, and our ability to forecast future business.performance.
As a global company, we are exposed to risks arising from uncertainty in domestic and international economic and geopolitical conditions, including changes in trade policy, tariffs and international trade agreements. Actions by the U.S. government or foreign governments, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs or other trade restrictions, could disrupt global supply chains, increase costs, or negatively affect economic conditions in the United States or other markets in which we operate. The scope, timing and impact of such actions remain uncertain and could adversely affect our international operations and financial performance.
Broader macroeconomic volatility, including inflationary pressures, foreign exchange fluctuations, reduced capital spending, and tightening credit conditions, may cause customers to delay, reduce, or cancel technology investments. These conditions may lengthen sales cycles, increase pricing and negotiation pressure, and make it more difficult for customers, partners, and us to plan and forecast business activity. Increased volatility in foreign currency markets may also adversely affect our results of operations.
Deterioration in economic conditions in regions where we operate could also result in delayed or reduced customer orders, cancellations, or slower collections on accounts receivable. Our accounts receivables are generally unsecured, and our customers and partners are typically permitted to pay within a specified period following delivery of our solutions. Adverse economic or geopolitical conditions, whether domestic or international, including economic downturns, financial market instability or geopolitical conflicts such as those in the Middle East, and Russia-Ukraine, may impair the liquidity or financial condition of our customers or partners. As a result, customers or partners may delay payments, fail to meet payment obligations, or seek to renegotiate payment terms, which could increase bad debt expense or reduce operating cash flows.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from subscription-based and term-based arrangements under which customers may pay over extended periods. A portion of our receivables also consists of unbilled receivables related to revenue recognized in advance of invoicing. These amounts may be subject to extended collection periods and increase our exposure to credit risk, particularly during periods of economic volatility. If customers experience financial difficulty or delay payments, we may experience increased collection risk, higher write-offs, or reduced operating cash flows.
If global economic conditions worsen or recover more slowly or unevenly than expected, we may not be able to sustain historical growth rates, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected, and we may not meet the expectations of analysts or investors, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
As a global company, we have become increasingly subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic and political conditions. Uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment and associated global economic conditions have in the past resulted in and may continue to result in volatility in credit, equity, debt and foreign currency markets. The U.S. government has and continues to make significant additional changes in U.S. trade policy and may continue to take future actions that could negatively impact U.S. trade. In addition, the U.S. government and certain foreign governments have recently announced new or increased tariffs on imported goods, and additional tariffs or increases in tariffs could be assessed in the future. The future actions of the U.S. administration and foreign governments with respect to tariffs or other international trade agreements and policies remain unclear. A trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to disrupt our international operations and/or the United States or global economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, could negatively impact our financial performance or business.
These global economic conditions can result in slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, inflation, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns. There has also been increased volatility in foreign exchange markets. These factors make it difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. These factors could cause customers to slow or defer spending on our solutions, which would delay and lengthen sales cycles and negatively affect our results of operations. If such conditions deteriorate or if the pace of economic recovery is slower or more uneven, our results of operations could be adversely affected, we may not be able to sustain the growth rates we have experienced recently, and we could fail to meet the expectations of stock analysts and investors, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We continue to invest in our business internationally where there may be significant risks with overseas investments and growth prospects. Increased volatility or declines in the credit, equity, debt and foreign currency markets in these regions could cause delays in or cancellations of orders. Deterioration of economic conditions in the countries in which we do business could also cause slower or impaired collections on accounts receivable.
In periods of volatile economic conditions, our exposure to credit risk and payment delinquencies on our accounts receivable significantly increases.
Our outstanding accounts receivables are generally not secured. Our standard terms and conditions permit payment within a specified number of days following the receipt of our solution. Volatile economic conditions, including those related to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the conflicts in the Middle East and the global response to the conflicts, economic downturns, tariffs or the imposition of new tariffs, trade wars, barriers or restrictions, or threats of such actions, supply chain disruptions, or the financial instability of banking institutions could result in our customers and partners facing liquidity concerns leading to them not being able to satisfy their payment obligations to us, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
In addition, a significant percentage of our revenue is from subscription, or term-based, arrangements. In these arrangements, our customers may pay for solutions over a period of several years. Due to the potential for extended period of collection, we may be exposed to more significant credit risk.
We develop solutions that interoperate with certain products, operating systems and hardware developed by others, and if the developers of those operating systems and hardware do not cooperate with us or we are unable to devote the necessary resources so that our solutions interoperate with those systems, our development efforts may be delayed or foreclosed and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our solutions operate primarily on the Windows, UNIX, Linux and Novell Netware operating systems; used in conjunction with Microsoft SQL; and on hardware devices of numerous manufacturers. Our reliance on such hardware components exposes us to potential supply chain disruption, which can delay product deliveries and adversely affect customer satisfaction. When new or updated versions of these operating systems, solution applications, and hardware devices are introduced, it is often necessary for us to develop updated versions of our solution applications so that they interoperate properly with these systems and devices. We may not accomplish these development efforts quickly or cost-effectively, and it is not clear what the relative growth rates of these operating systems and hardware will be.
We encountercan experience long and unpredictable sales and implementation cycles, particularly forwith ourlarge largerenterprise and government customers, which could haveadversely an adverse effect onaffect the size, timing and predictability of our revenues.
Our sales cycles, especially for larger enterprise and public sector customers, are often lengthy and complex and require significant commitments of time, expense and management resources. These customers typically conduct extensive evaluations, require multiple levels of approval, and may involve formal procurement processes. In many cases, we must invest significant time and resources before a purchasing decision is made, and there is no assurance that these efforts will result in a sale.
Our sales cycles are subject to risks and delays largely outside of our control, including customers’ budgetary constraints and cycles, internal approval processes, customers’ willingness or ability to replace existing solutions, and the expiration timing of customers’ current contracts. As a result, sales opportunities may be delayed, reduced in scope, or not consummated, even after we have incurred significant sales and marketing expenses.
If our sales cycles lengthen unexpectedly or if we are unsuccessful in closing anticipated transactions after incurring substantial costs, the timing of our revenues may shift, our operating expenses may increase relative to revenue and our quarterly revenues and results of operations may fluctuate. These factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the predictability of our results, and may contribute to volatility in the trading price of our common stock.
Potential or existing customers, particularly government customers and larger enterprise customers, generally commit significant resources to an evaluation of available solutions and require us to expend substantial time, effort and money educating them as to the value of our solutions. Sales often require an extensive education and marketing effort.
We could expend significant funds and resources during a sales cycle and ultimately fail to win the customer. Our sales cycle for all of our products and services is subject to significant risks and delays over which we have little or no control, including our customers’ budgetary constraints; the timing of our customers’ budget cycles and approval processes; our customers’ willingness to replace their current solutions; our need to educate potential customers about the uses and benefits of our solutions; and the timing of the expiration of our customers’ current agreements for similar solutions.
If our sales cycles lengthen unexpectedly, they could adversely affect the timing of our revenues or increase costs, which may cause fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and results of operations. Finally, if we are unsuccessful in closing sales of our solutions after spending significant funds and management resources, our operating margins and results of operations could be adversely impacted, and the price of our common stock could decline.
We depend on growth in the data protection and cyber resiliency market, and lacka of growthslowdown or contraction in this market could have a material adverse effect on our salesbusiness, results of operations, and financial condition.
Demand for data protection and cyber resilience solutions is linkedinfluenced toby factors such as growth in the amount of data generated and stored,backed up, demand for data retention and management (whether as a result of regulatory requirements or otherwise) demand for and adoption of new backup devices and networking technologies, and ability to respond to and recover from cyber incidents in a secure environment. Because our solutions are concentrated within the data protection and cyber resiliency market, if the demand for backup and data protection solutions devices declines, our sales,business, profitabilityresults of operations, and financial condition wouldcould be materially adversely affected.
The data protection and cyber resiliency market is dynamic and evolving, and our future financial performance depends in part on continued adoption of these solutions by organizations across industries and geographies. The market may not continue to grow at historical rates, may grow more slowly than we anticipate, or may contract due to economic conditions, technology changes, or alternative approaches to data protection and cyber resilience. If this market slows or fails to materialize as expected, or if customer adoption declines, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected.
Furthermore, the data protection and cyber resiliency market is dynamic and evolving. Our future financial performance will depend in large part on continued growth in the number of organizations adopting data protection and cyber resilience solutions for their environments. The market for data protection and cyber resilience solutions may not continue to grow at historic rates, or at all. If this market fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, our sales and profitability could be adversely affected.
Our SaaS offerings require costlysubstantial and continualongoing infrastructure investmentsinvestments, and if these investments do not yield the expected return, our businessbusiness, results of operations, and financial performancecondition mightcould be adversely impacted.affected.
To support our SaaS offerings and cloud-based delivery model, we have made, and expect to continue to make, substantial investments and incur ongoing costs related to infrastructure, hosting, security, availability, and operations. As we expand and enhance our SaaS offerings, we continue to invest in technology and platform infrastructure to support customer demand and deliver competitive products. A portion of these costs is associated with long‑term or minimum‑commitment arrangements with third‑party cloud service providers, which may limit our ability to reduce expenses in response to changes in demand.
Demand for our SaaS offerings may be affected by factors such as customer acceptance, pricing sensitivity, competition, economic conditions, data security and privacy, technological challenges, or changes in customer spending priorities. If demand for our SaaS offerings declines, grows more slowly than expected, or shifts toward lower‑cost usage models, we may not be able to fully realize the anticipated benefits of our infrastructure investments. In addition, if the costs of operating our SaaS offerings increase due to changes in usage patterns, storage requirements, network bandwidth, or third-party cloud pricing, and we are unable to offset those increases through pricing, operational efficiencies, or scale, our business, results of operations, and financial condition, including gross margins, could be adversely affected.
In order to deliver our SaaS offerings via a cloud-based deployment, we have made and will continue to make capital investments and incur substantial costs to implement and maintain this business model. In addition, as we look to deliver new or different cloud-based services, we are making significant technology investments to deliver new capabilities and advance our software to deliver cloud-native customer experiences. Our revenues related to SaaS offerings have increased in recent years. If there is a reduction in demand for these services caused by a lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, weakening economic or political conditions, including as a result of tariffs or the imposition of new tariffs, trade wars, barriers or restrictions, or threats of such actions, security or privacy concerns, inability to properly manage such services, competing technologies and products, decreases in corporate spending or otherwise, our financial results and competitive position could suffer. If these investments do not yield the expected return, or we are unable to decrease the cost of delivering our cloud services, our gross margins, overall financial results, business model and competitive position could suffer.
We sell a backup appliance which integrates our solution with hardware. If we fail to accurately predict manufacturing requirements and manage our supply chain, we could incur additional costs or experience manufacturing delays that could harm our business.
We generally provide forecasts of our requirements to our supply chain partners on a rolling basis. If our forecast exceeds our actual requirements, a supply chain partner may assess additional charges or we may incur costs for excess inventory they hold, each of which could negatively affect our gross margins. If our forecast is less than our actual requirements, the applicable supply chain partner may have insufficient time or components to produce or fulfill our solutions' requirements, which could delay or interrupt manufacturing of our products or fulfillment of orders for our solutions, and result in delays in shipments, customer dissatisfaction, and deferral or loss of revenue. If we fail to accurately predict our requirements, we may be unable to fulfill those orders or we may be required to record charges for excess inventory. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

This may involve making judgments about a variety of factors that impact fair value, including business plans, anticipated future cash flows, economic projections, and other market data. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further analysis is required; otherwise, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Because there are inherent uncertainties involved in these factors, significant differences between these estimates and actual results could result in future impairment charges and could materially impact our future financial results. No impairment of goodwill has been identified during the years presented.

We generate revenues through subscription arrangements, which includes both term-based software licenses and SaaS, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services. A significant portion of our total revenues comes from subscription arrangements, whichdelivered includeon-premise both sales ofthrough term-based licenseslicensing, andor through cloud-based SaaS offerings. These arrangements are economically and contractually similar, as customers generally receive access to our software for a specified term under binding agreements. We are focused on these types of recurring revenue arrangements.
We expect our subscription arrangements will continue to generate revenues from the renewals of term-based licenses and SaaS offerings sold in prior years. Any of our pricing models (capacity, instanceinstance-based, based,consumption, etc.) can be sold via a subscription arrangement, either through term-based licensing or hostedvia services.cloud-based SaaS offerings. In term-based license arrangements, the customer has the right to use the software over a designated period of time. The capacity of the license is fixed and the customer has made an unconditional commitment to pay. Software revenue in these arrangements is generally recognized when the software is delivered.delivered Inor SaaSmade offerings,available customersfor use hosted software over the contract period without taking possession of the software.download. Revenue related to our SaaS offerings is generally recognized ratably over the contract period.period or, in consumption arrangements, as the solutions are consumed.
We sell to end-user customers both directly through our sales force and indirectly through our global network of value-added reseller partners, systems integrators, corporate resellers, OEMs and marketplaces. Subscription revenue generated through indirect distribution channels accounted for approximately 90% of total subscription revenue in recent fiscal years. Subscription revenue generated through direct distribution channels accounted for approximately 10% of total subscription revenue in recent fiscal years. Deals initiated by our direct sales force are sometimes transacted through indirect channels based on end-user customer requirements, which are not always in our control and can cause this overall percentage split to vary from period-to-period. As such, there may be fluctuations in the dollars and percentage of subscription revenue generated through our direct distribution channels from time-to-time. We believe that the growth of our subscription revenue, derived from both our indirect channel partners and direct sales force, are key attributes to our long-term growth strategy. We intend to continue to invest in both our channel relationships and direct sales force in the future, but we continue to expect more revenue to be generated through indirect distribution channels over the long term. The failure of our indirect distribution channels or our direct sales force to effectively sell our products and services could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
We have a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Arrow pursuant to which Arrow's primary role is to enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our solutions by managing our resellers and leveraging their own industry experience. We generated approximately 35%, 36% and 37% of our total revenues through Arrow in fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively. If Arrow were to discontinue or reduce the sales of our solutions or if our agreement with Arrow was terminated, and if we were unable to take back the management of our reseller channel or find another distributor to replace Arrow, there could be a material adverse effect on our future business.

We have non-exclusive distribution agreements with certain partners who enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our solutions by managing our resellers and leveraging their own industry experience. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, Partner A accounted for approximately 32%, 35%, and 36% of our total revenues, respectively. Separately, Partner B accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Total revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 for Partner B were less than 10%. If any of these partners were to discontinue or materially reduce their sales of our solutions, terminate their agreements with us, or experience operational or financial difficulties, and if we were unable to effectively replace them or assume management of the affected distribution activities, our business, revenues, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We also sell our solutions through cloud-based marketplace offerings operated by third-party platform providers. Revenue from marketplace transactions are typically recorded on a gross basis, and amounts paid to the marketplace providers are capitalized as contract costs and amortized over the term of the related arrangement. Amortization of capitalized marketplace costs was $2.0 million, $1.7 million, and $0.3 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Transactions through third‑party cloud marketplace providers represented less than 10% of our total revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. These transactions include sales to both new and existing customers and may include new purchases, renewals, expansions for existing customers, and subscriptions for both on‑premise and SaaS offerings.

Key Performance Indicators ($ in millions)
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help evaluate the state of our business. We believe the below metrics are material to investors to understand the growth and performance of our business, as they help normalize certain variable factors. Metrics such as Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR"), Subscription ARR, SaaS ARR and SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate ("SaaS NRR") provide a consistent view of our recurring revenue profile. ARR, Subscription ARR, and SaaS ARR exclude non-recurring elements and reflect the annualized value of active contracts, while SaaS NRR measures net expansion within our existing SaaS customer base. Together, we believe these metrics offer meaningful insight into the health and trajectory of our recurring revenue streams.
Total Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR")
Total ARR represents the annualized value of all active contracts as of the end of a reporting period. ARR includes recurring subscription offerings, customer support associated with perpetual and term licenses, premium support offerings for subscription-based customers, and managed service offerings. ARR excludes non-recurring elements, such as perpetual licenses and professional services, which are typically delivered at a point in time. For all term-based arrangements, ARR is calculated by dividing the total active contract value by the number of days in the contract term and multiplying the result by 365. For consumption-based arrangements on a pay as you go model without a fixed commitment, ARR is calculated by annualizing the revenue contractually expected to be received in a given month based on actual monthly usage from a prior month. Because ARR includes only contracts that are active at the end of the reporting period, it does not reflect assumptions or estimates regarding future contract renewals or non-renewals.
We believe ARR is a valuable metric for evaluating the growth of our business, as it provides a normalized view of recurring revenue by excluding the variability associated with contract term lengths and omitting contracts that are not expected to renew. Because ARR reflects the annualized value of recurring customer contracts at a particular point in time, quarter‑to‑quarter movements can vary depending on the timing of customer transactions, renewals and other normal purchasing patterns.
Subscription ARR
Subscription ARR represents the portion of ARR attributable to term-based licenses, maintenance and support services associated with term license arrangements, SaaS subscriptions, and consumption‑based arrangements, calculated using the same ARR methodology. We believe Subscription ARR provides useful insight into the growth of our subscription-based offerings and reflects both new customer acquisition and expansion within our existing customer base. As our most strategically significant and rapidly expanding revenue streams, our subscription arrangements are central to our long-term growth strategy and operational focus.
SaaS ARR
SaaS ARR represents the cloud‑hosted portion of Subscription ARR and excludes revenue attributable to term license arrangements and related maintenance and support services. SaaS ARR reflects the annualized value of active SaaS contracts and we believe this metric provides insight into customer adoption trends and expansion within our cloud-based offerings. As SaaS continues to represent a growing share of both subscription and total revenues, we view this metric as a key indicator of our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customer base. Continued adoption, expansion, and conversion to SaaS arrangements are critical to sustaining our long-term growth and aligning with customer preferences for cloud-delivered solutions.
SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate (SaaS NRR)
SaaS NRR is the percentage of SaaS ARR retained from existing customers at the start of an annual period after accounting for expansion revenue, churn, and downsell. It is presented on a constant currency basis using exchange rates as of March 31, 2025. Acquired SaaS ARR is excluded until the acquisition is fully integrated, which we generally expect to occur twelve months from the closing date. We believe our SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate offers valuable insight into the year-over-year expansion of our existing customer base, reflecting both increased utilization of current products and services as well as the adoption of additional offerings.
These metrics are non-GAAP measures and do not have standardized definitions under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). As such, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these metrics to assess the health of our recurring revenue base and to inform strategic decision making. These metrics should be viewed independently of GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue and are not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue.
Sales outside the United States were 46%47% of our total revenues for fiscal 2025,2026, 46% for fiscal 2025 and 48% for fiscal 2024 and 47% for fiscal 2023.2024. The income statements of our non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for each applicable month in a period. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominatedcurrency-denominated transactions generally results in increased revenue,revenues, operating expenses and income from operations for our non-U.S. operations. Similarly, our revenue,revenues, operating expenses and netincome incomefrom operations will generally decrease for our non-U.S. operations if the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies.
Using the average foreign currency exchange rates from fiscal 2024,2025, our fiscal 20252026 total revenues would have been higherlower by $4.2$29.5 million andmillion, our cost of revenues would have been higherlower by $1.0$1.2 million, respectively.and Ourour operating expenses would not have been materiallylower impactedby for$7.7 fiscal 2025.million.
In presenting our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),GAAP, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported therein. Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected.
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application, while in other cases, significant judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We consider these policies requiring significant management judgment to be critical accounting policies. The following is a description of these critical accounting policies.policies:
We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Our revenue recognition policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates. In applying ourthese revenue recognition policy,policies, we must determine which portions of our revenue are recognized currently (generally software-related revenue) and which portions must be deferred and recognized in future periods (generally SaaS, customer support, and other services revenuerevenues). We analyze various factors including, but not limited to, the standalone selling priceprices of undeliveredperformance services when sold on a stand-alone basis,obligations, our pricing policies, the creditworthiness of our customers, and contractual terms and conditionsconditions, including whether extended payment terms give rise to a significant financing component, in helping us to makemaking such judgments about revenue recognition. As most of our transactions go through indirect distribution channels, we are also required to make judgments around principal versus agent considerations and judgments arounddetermining which party is our customer in multi-party arrangements. Changes in judgment on any of these factors could materially impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized in a given period. We recognize revenue net of sales tax.
We generate revenues through subscription arrangements, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services. A significant portion of our total revenues comes from subscription arrangements, which include both sales of term-based licenses and SaaS offerings. We are focused on these types of recurring revenue arrangements.
We expect our subscription arrangements will continue to generate revenues from the renewals of term-based licenses and SaaS offerings sold in prior years. We offer of our pricing models (capacity, instance based, etc.) to be sold via a subscription arrangement, either through term-based licensing or hosted services. In term-based license arrangements, the customer has the right to use the software over a designated period of time. The capacity of the license is fixed and the customer has made an unconditional commitment to pay. Software revenue in these arrangements is generally recognized when the software is delivered. In SaaS offerings, customers use hosted software over the contract period without taking possession of the software. Revenue related to SaaS is recognized ratably over the contract period.
We sell both perpetual and term-based licenses of our software. We refer to our term-based software licenses as subscription arrangements. We do not customize our software and installation services are not required. The software is delivered before related services are provided and is functional without professional services, updates and technical support. We have concluded that our software licenses (both perpetual and subscription) are functional intellectual property that is distinct, as the user can benefit from the software on its own. Revenues for both perpetual and term-based licenses is typically recognized when the software is delivered and/or made available for download as this is the point the user of the software can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the functional intellectual property. We do not recognize software revenue related to the renewal of subscription software licenses earlier than the beginning of the new subscription period.
We also offer software that integrates with appliances and address a wide range of business needs and use cases, ranging from support for remote or branch offices with limited IT staff up to large corporate data centers. These appliances are almost exclusively sold via a software only model in which we sell software to a third party, which assembles an integrated appliance that is sold to end user customers. As a result, the revenues and costs associated with hardware are usually not in our financial statements.
Our customer support revenue includes support contracts tied to our software products. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and other premium support offerings, for both term-based software license and perpetual software license arrangements. We sell our customer support contracts as a percentage of net software. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year on our perpetual licenses. The term of our subscription arrangements is typically one to three years, but can range between one and five years.
Our other services revenue consists primarily of professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, installation services, and customer education. Revenues from other services can vary period over period based on the timing services are delivered and are typically recognized as the services are performed.
Most of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we evaluate and account for individual performance obligations separately if they are determined to be distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices offor software licenses (both perpetualterm-based and term-basedperpetual) are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices for SaaS, customer support contracts, and other services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. We recognize revenue net of sales taxes. For additional information on how we recognize revenue, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our typical performance obligations include the following:
Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are established when, in our judgment, it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available objective and verifiable evidence both positive and negative, including historical levels of pre-tax income or loss, both on a consolidated basis and tax reporting entity basis, legislative developments, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future pre-tax income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. At March 31, 20252026 and 2024,2025, we recorded a valuation allowance, which reflects uncertainties around our ability to generate sufficient income in certain jurisdictions to utilize our net deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2023, we had recorded a full valuation allowance as the realizability of the Company's gross deferred tax assets was not more likely than not. We believe, in the current period, it is more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income to realize our remaining deferred tax assets.

Goodwill is tested at this reporting unit level. We have elected to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. This may involve making judgments about a variety of factors that impact fair value, including business plans, anticipated future cash flows, economic projections, and other market data. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further analysis is required; otherwise, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Because there are inherent uncertainties involved in these factors, significant differences between these estimates and actual results could result in future impairment charges and could materially impact our future financial results. No impairment of goodwill has been identified during the years presented.
Revenues ($ in millions)
–Total revenues increased $188.1 million, or 19% year over year, driven primarily by continued growth in subscription revenue, reflecting our strategic focus on selling term-based software licenses and SaaS offerings. Subscription revenue growth included a $64.9 million increase in term-based license revenue and a $113.7 million increase in SaaS revenue. This growth was partially offset by a $12.4 million decrease in perpetual license revenue.
–Term-based license revenue increased $64.9 million, or 18% year over year, primarily driven by growth in larger transactions. Deals greater than $0.1 million increased 19% year over year, reflecting a 2% increase in average deal size and a 16% increase in transaction volume. These trends were driven by continued strength in new customer acquisition as well as expansion within our existing customer base.
–SaaS revenue increased $113.7 million, or 52% year over year, driven by strong demand for our SaaS offerings, including higher SaaS bookings from new customers and expansion within our existing customer installed base, including greater multi-product usage.
Revenues ($ in millions) –Total revenues increased $156.4 million, or 19% year over year, driven primarily by an increase in subscription revenue, partially offset by decreases in perpetual license and other services revenues. We remain focused on selling subscription arrangements through both term-based software licenses and SaaS offerings.
–Subscription revenue increased $160.5 million, or 37% year over year, driven primarily by a 74% increase in our SaaS revenue. Term-based license revenue increased 22%, primarily due to an increase in the number of larger term-based license transactions (deals greater than $0.1 million) period over period and an increase in the average selling price of these transactions. Subscription revenue accounted for 59% of total revenues in fiscal 2025 compared to 51% in fiscal 2024.

Risks Related to Our Convertible Senior Notes
We may lack the cash or financing capacity to satisfy required cash payments under the Notes, including upon conversion, following a fundamental change, or at maturity.
On September 5, 2025, we issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) and entered into related capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”). If a Fundamental Change occurs (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase the Notes in cash at 100% of principal plus any special or additional interest (together capped at 0.50% per annum). If holders convert, we may elect to settle in cash, shares, or a combination. We must also repay any Notes that remain outstanding at maturity in cash, which could require refinancing. Our ability to fund required cash amounts will depend on cash on hand, cash flows, and access to capital markets and credit facilities, and may be limited by law, regulation, or agreements governing our indebtedness. We may not redeem the Notes before September 22, 2028, and any optional redemption thereafter requires our common stock to trade at or above 130% of the conversion price for a specified period, which may affect the timing and magnitude of cash outflows. Failure to make a required cash payment would constitute a default under the Indenture and could result in cross-defaults or accelerations under other indebtedness.
The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
If the conditional conversion feature of the Notes is triggered, holders may convert their Notes during specified periods. Unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation solely by delivering shares of our common stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation in cash, which could adversely affect liquidity. Even if no conversions occur, applicable accounting rules could require us to reclassify all or a portion of the Notes as current liabilities, reducing our reported working capital.
Conversion of the Notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock, and the Capped Calls may provide only partial offset.
The Notes are initially convertible at 4.2215 shares per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $236.88 per share. If we elect to settle conversions in shares, existing stockholders will be diluted. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon certain events and may be increased for a limited period in connection with specified corporate events, which could amplify dilution. The Capped Calls offset dilution only up to an initial cap of approximately $357.56 per share, and above that level dilution will not be mitigated. In addition, the existence of the Notes may encourage short selling by market participants, because conversions can be used to satisfy short positions, and expectations of potential conversion could depress our common stock price.
Hedging activity by Capped Call counterparties may affect the trading price of our stock and the value of the Notes.
Banks party to the Capped Calls (or their affiliates) may establish, adjust, or unwind hedges in our common stock or related derivatives, including during any conversion observation period and around redemption or unwind events, which could increase or decrease the trading price of our common stock and, during an observation period, affect the amount of conversion consideration and the value of the Notes.
Accounting for the Notes and Capped Calls may increase volatility in our reported financial results.
The Notes and Capped Calls are subject to complex accounting requirements. Although the Capped Calls are accounted for in stockholders’ equity and therefore not remeasured each period, conversions and changes in our share count may affect diluted earnings per share, and application of the relevant accounting standards may introduce period-to-period volatility in our reported results.
Risks Related to Our Business
We implemented new restructuring plans in fiscal 2026, which we cannot guarantee will achieve their intended results.
In fiscal 2026, we initiated restructuring plans intended to optimize our cost structure, enhance organizational agility, align resources with strategic priorities, and reorganize our business technology function. We cannot guarantee the restructuring plans will achieve their intended results. Risks associated with these restructuring plans also include additional unexpected costs, adverse effects on employee morale, and the failure to meet operation and growth targets due to the loss of key employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated results of operations or otherwise harm our business.

Industry
Our industry continues to be reshaped by accelerating data growth, increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence ("AI"), and the expansion of hybrid, multi-cloud, cloud-native, and software-as-a-service ("SaaS") environments. Customers increasingly require a cyber resilience platform that brings together data security, identity resilience, real-time governance, threat detection, and verified clean recovery for structured and unstructured data, cloud-native applications, and AI workloads. Commvault Cloud is designed to help organizations secure, govern, and recover data and workloads anywhere to anywhere, while supporting compliance and operational resilience at scale.
Commvault Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Commvault," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") aims to provide its customers cyber resiliency by protecting and recovering their data and cloud-native applications in a world of increasing cyber threats and attacks, including ransomware. We provide products and services across many types of environments, including on-premise, hybrid and multi-cloud. Our offerings are delivered via self-managed software, software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), integrated appliances, or managed by partners.
We generate revenues through subscription arrangements, which includes bothinclude term-based softwarelicenses, licensesterm-based support, and SaaS, as well as perpetual software licenses, customerperpetual support contractssupport, and other services. A significant portion of our total revenues comes from subscription arrangements, whether deployed on-premise (term-based license) or delivered via hosted cloud SaaS solutions.arrangements. These arrangements are economically and contractually similar, as customers generally receive access to our software for a specified term under binding agreements. We are focused on these types of recurring revenue arrangements.
We expect our subscription arrangements will continue to generate revenues from the renewals of term-based licenseslicenses, term-based support, and SaaS offerings sold in prior years. Any of our pricing models (capacity, instanceinstance-based, based,consumption, etc.) can be sold either through term-based licensing or via hosted cloudcloud-based SaaS solutions.offerings.

Our other services revenue consists primarily of professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, installation services, and customer education. Revenues fromrelated to other services can vary period over period based on the timing services are delivered and are typically recognized as the services are performed.
We sell to end-user customers both directly through our sales force and indirectly through our global network of value-added reseller partners, systems integrators, corporate resellers, original equipment manufacturers, and marketplaces. RevenueRevenues generated through indirect distribution channels accounted for approximately 90% of our total revenues in both the ninethree months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 20252026 and 2024.2025. Revenue generated through direct distribution channels accounted for approximately 10% of our total revenues in both the ninethree months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 20252026 and 2024.2025. Deals initiated by our direct sales force are sometimes transacted through indirect channels based on end-user customer requirements, which are not always in our control and can cause this overall percentage split to vary from period-to-period.period to period. As such, there may be fluctuations in the dollars and percentage of revenuerevenues generated through our distribution channels from time-to-time.time to time. We believe that the growth of our revenue,revenues, derived from both our indirect channel partners and direct sales force, are key attributes to our long-term growth strategy. We intend to continue to invest in both our channel relationships and direct sales force in the future, but we continue to expect more revenuerevenues to be generated through indirect distribution channels over the long term. The failure of our indirect distribution channels or our direct sales force to effectively sell our products and services could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
We have non-exclusive distribution agreements with certain partners who enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our solutions by managing our resellers and leveraging their own industry experience. For the ninethree months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 20252026 and 2024,2025, Partner A accounted for approximately 32% and 35%33% of our total revenues, respectively. Separately, Partner B accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues for both the ninethree months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.

We also sell our solutions through cloud-based marketplace offerings operated by third-party platform providers. Revenue from marketplace transactions are typically recorded on a gross basis, and amounts paid to the marketplace providers are capitalized as contract costs and amortized over the term of the related arrangement. Amortization of capitalized marketplace costs was $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Transactions through third‑party cloud marketplace providers represented approximately 10% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and less than 10% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025. These transactions include sales to both new and existing customers and may include new purchases, renewals, expansions for existing customers, and subscriptions for both on‑premise and SaaS offerings.
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help evaluate the state of our business. We believe the below metrics are material to investors to understand the growth and performance of our business, as they help normalize certain variable factors. Metrics such as Subscription Annualized Recurring Revenue ("Subscription ARR"), SubscriptionSaaS ARR, SaaS ARR and SaaSSubscription Net Dollar Retention Rate ("SaaSSubscription NRR") provide a consistent view of our recurring revenue profile. ARR, Subscription ARR,ARR and SaaS ARR exclude non-recurring elements and reflect the annualized value of active contracts, while SaaSSubscription NRR measures net expansion within our existing Subscription customer base. Together, we believe these metrics offer meaningful insight into the health and trajectory of our recurring revenue streams. Total ARR, which also included the annualized maintenance contract on perpetual licenses, is no longer disclosed.
Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR)
ARR represents the annualized recurring value of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period. It includes recurring subscription offerings (including term licenses, SaaS, and utility software), maintenance related to perpetual and term licenses, extended maintenance contracts (enterprise support), and managed services. It excludes non-recurring elements such as perpetual licenses and professional services which are typically delivered at a point in time. ARR is calculated by dividing the total contract value by the number of days in the contract term and multiplying by 365. We believe ARR is a valuable metric for evaluating the growth of our business, as it provides a normalized view of recurring revenue by excluding the variability associated with contract term lengths and omitting contracts that are not expected to renew. Because ARR reflects the annualized value of recurring customer contracts at a particular point in time, quarter‑to‑quarter movements can vary depending on the timing of customer transactions, renewals and other normal purchasing patterns.
Subscription ARR includesrepresents onlythe annualized value of all active contracts as of the end of a reporting period attributable to term‑based licenses, maintenance and support services associated with term licenses,license SaaS,arrangements, SaaS subscriptions, and utilityconsumption‑based arrangements, calculated usingby dividing the sametotal methodologyactive contract value by the number of days in the contract term and multiplying the result by 365. For consumption-based arrangements on a pay as ARR.you go model without a fixed commitment, the applicable ARR is calculated by annualizing the revenue contractually expected to be received in a given month based on actual monthly usage from a prior month. We believe Subscription ARR provides meaningfuluseful insight into the growth of our subscription-based offerings and reflects both new customer acquisition and expansion within our existing customer base. As our most strategically significant and rapidly expanding revenue streams, our subscription arrangements are central to our long-term growth strategy and operational focus.
SaaS ARR includes only the cloud-hosted portion of Subscription ARR and is calculated using the same methodology. SaaS ARR reflects the annualized value of active SaaS contracts and weWe believe this metric provides insight into customer adoption trends and expansion within our cloud-based offerings. As SaaS continues to represent a growing share of our total revenue, we view this metric as a key indicator of our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customer base. Continued adoption and conversion to SaaS arrangements are critical to sustaining our long-term growth and aligning with customer preferences for cloud-delivered solutions.
Subscription NRR
SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate (SaaS NRR)
Subscription NRR includes all contracts attributable to term-based licenses, maintenance and support services associated with term license arrangements, SaaS subscriptions, and consumption-based arrangements. Subscription NRR is calculated as the percentage of SaaSSubscription ARR retained from existing customers at the start of an annual period after accounting for expansion revenue, churn, and downgrades.downgrades, It is presentedmeasured on aan constant currencyannualized basis using exchangethe ratestrailing asfour ofquarter March 31, 2025.average. Acquired SaaSSubscription ARR is excluded until the acquisition is fully integrated, which we generally expect to occur twelve months from the closingclose date. We believe our SaaSSubscription Net Dollar Retention RateNRR offers valuable insight into the year-over-year expansion of our existing customer base, reflecting both increased utilization of current products and services as well as the adoption of additional offerings.
These metrics are non-GAAP measures and do not have standardized definitions under GAAP. As such, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these metrics to assess the health of our recurring revenue base and to inform strategic decision-making. These metrics should be viewed independently of GAAP revenue, deferred revenuerevenue, and unbilled revenue and are not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue.
Sales outside the United States were 47%45% and 44% of our total revenues for both the ninethree months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 20252026 and 2024.2025, respectively. The income statements of our non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for each applicable month in a period. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominatedcurrency-denominated transactions generally results in increased revenues, operating expensesexpenses, and income from operations for our non-U.S. operations. Similarly, our revenues, operating expensesexpenses, and income from operations will generally decrease for our non-U.S. operations if the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies.
Using the average foreign currency exchange rates from the three months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 2024,2025, our total revenues would have been lower by $9.5$2.4 million, our cost of revenues would have been lower by $0.3$0.1 millionmillion, and our operating expenses would have been lowerhigher by $2.3$0.9 million from non-U.S. operations for the three months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 2025. Using the average foreign currency exchange rates from the nine months ended December 31, 2024, our total revenues would have been lower by $18.7 million, our cost of revenues would have been lower by $0.7 million and our operating expenses would have been lower by $4.6 million from non-U.S. operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.2026.
In addition, we are exposed to risks of foreign currency fluctuation primarily from cash balances, accounts receivablesreceivables, and intercompany accounts denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to the resulting transaction gains and losses, which are recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses. We recognized net foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $0.2$0.1 million and losses of approximately $1.8$1.2 million for the three and nine months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We recognized net foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $0.3 million and insignificant losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
In presenting our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP,U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported therein. Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operationsoperations, and cash flows may be affected.
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the ninethree months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 20252026 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “"Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies”" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.2026.
Three months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 20252026 compared to three months ended DecemberJune 31,30, 20242025
Total revenues increased $32.2 million, or 11%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily driven by continued growth in subscription revenue, including term-based license, term-based support and SaaS offerings. Total subscription revenue increased $37.7 million, or 16%, and represented 85% of total revenue compared to 81% in the prior-year period, reflecting continued customer adoption of our subscription-based offerings.
SaaS revenue increased 39% year over year, driven by growth from both new and existing customers. Term-based support revenue increased 18% year over year, reflecting the maintenance and related support components of active term-based license contracts.
Term-based license revenue was relatively consistent with the prior-year period, increasing 1% year over year. Growth was led by a 13% increase in transactions less than $0.1 million, partially offset by a 2% decline in transactions greater than $0.1 million. Term-based license revenue may fluctuate from period to period based on renewal timing, contract duration, and seasonal purchasing patterns across our global markets. These increases were partially offset by a $6.0 million decrease in perpetual support revenue, consistent with our continued transition towards subscription-based offerings.
–Total revenues increased $51.2 million, or 19% year over year, driven by increases in both term-based license revenue and SaaS revenue. We remain focused on selling subscription arrangements through both term-based software licenses and SaaS offerings.
–Term-based license revenue increased $21.3 million, or 22% year over year, primarily due to a 25% increase in larger transactions (deals greater than $0.1 million). This increase was driven by a 13% increase in average deal size and a 10% increase in transaction volume, reflecting continued strength in new customer acquisition and existing customer expansion.
–SaaS revenue increased $26.7 million, or 44% year over year, reflecting higher SaaS bookings, driven by both new customer acquisitions and expansion of our existing customer base.
–Perpetual license revenue decreased $2.7 million, or 17% year over year. Perpetual licenses are generally only sold in certain verticals and geographies.
–Customer support revenue increased $3.2 million, or 4% year over year, driven by a $7.9 million increase in customer support revenue related to term-based license arrangements, partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in customer support revenue attached to perpetual license support renewals.
–Other services revenue increased $2.7 million, or 25% year over year. Changes in other services revenue can vary period over period, primarily due to the timing professional services are delivered.
We track total revenues on a geographic basis. Our Americas region includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Our International region primarily includes Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, India, and Southeast Asia and China.Asia.

Our totalInternational revenues in International isare subject to changes in foreign exchange rates as further discussed above in the “"Foreign Currency Exchange Rates’Rates' Impact on Results of Operations” section.Operations."
Total cost of revenues increased $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to increased infrastructure costs associated with the continued expansion of our SaaS offerings and, to a lesser extent, higher costs related to royalties tied to certain term-based license revenue. As a result, total gross margin was $256.5 million, or 81.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Cost of SaaS revenue increased $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to higher infrastructure costs to support growth in our SaaS offerings. SaaS gross margin increased to 70.5% from 64.1% in the prior-year period, reflecting infrastructure and product optimization initiatives and improved economics under strategic agreements with our hyperscale cloud partners. As our SaaS business continues to represent a larger percentage of total revenue, changes in hosting cost, utilization, and operating efficiencies may have a meaningful impact on consolidated gross margin.
–Total cost of revenues increased $10.7 million and represented 19% of our total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
–Cost of term-based license revenue increased $0.3 million and represented 3% of our term-based license revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
–Cost of SaaS revenue increased $8.2 million and represented 36% of our SaaS revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 39% for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The year over year increase is primarily the result of an increase in the cost of infrastructure related to growth in our SaaS offerings.
–Cost of perpetual license revenue decreased $0.4 million and represented less than 1% of our perpetual revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 2% for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
