In the United States, various laws and regulations apply to the collection, disclosure, and other processing of certain types of data, including with respect to security measures used to protect such data. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws as imposing standards for the collection, use, dissemination, security, and other processing of data. The laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity are evolving, can be subject to significant change, and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. For example, California in 2018 enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which went into effect on January 1, 2020. The CCPA requires covered companies to, among other things, provide disclosures to California consumers and afford such consumers new abilities to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. Additionally, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) was approved by California voters in November 2020 and became effective January 1, 2023. The CPRA amended and expanded the CCPA in numerous respects, including by expanding the CCPA’s private right of action. Following enactment of the CCPA, many other states have adopted or considered privacy legislation, many of which are comprehensive laws similar to the CCPA and CPRA. For example, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and Connecticut have adopted such legislation thatsee in full comparisonhas becomebecame effective in 2023, Texas, Montana, Oregon, and Florida have adopted such legislation that became effective in 2024, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Tennessee have adopted such legislation thatwill becomebecame effective in 2025, and Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island have adopted such legislation thatwillhas become effective in 2026. Broad federal privacy legislation has also been proposed. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a rule entitled the Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons, which places restrictions on data transactions involving sensitive personal data and certain “Countries of Concern” and “Covered Persons” (i.e., individuals and entities located in or controlled by individuals or entities located in those jurisdictions). Additionally, states have adopted other laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity, such as Washington’s My Health, My Data Act, which includes a private right of action. The U.S. Department of Justice also has issued rules restricting, and imposing requirements in connection with, certain bulk transfers of sensitive personal information. These and other new and evolving laws and regulations relating to privacy in the U.S. could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business. Aspects of these laws and regulations and their interpretation and enforcement remain uncertain. We cannot fully predict the impact of these or other new and evolving laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity on our business or operations, but they may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply.
Our pricing and subscription models have evolved over time and will continue to evolve in the future. Whilesee in full comparisonmore84%than 68%of our annual recurring revenue is now utilizing the platform as a consumption-based service, it is relatively new to our business and therefore contains inherent risks. Revenue recognized for certain customers may be negatively impacted due to ournewconsumption-based pricing model. For example, certain customers may end up using less data than originally contemplated in their initial consumption-based contract resulting in lower net retention in future years. Additionally, as we implement artificial intelligence tools on our platform, we may not be able to accurately predict customer demand of these tools, and if certain customers use these tools more than we anticipate, we may incur increased operational costs that may not be recovered in an appropriate timeframe. We believe our partner ecosystem will become increasingly important to our business as we continue its expansion. If our partners decide to internally adopt tools that we provide or find other ways that will reduce their need for our platform, such as by adopting artificial intelligence tools offered by our competitors in lieu of purchasing our services, that could result in lower volume of usage, which could adversely impact our financial performance. The success of our pricing model transition is subject to numerous variables, including, but not limited to, customer demand, renewal and expansion rates, our ability to capture upside from over-usage of volume in future contracts, our ability to further develop and scale infrastructure, the ability of our sales force to successfully execute new sales strategies and drive adoption of our platform, tax and accounting implications, pricing, and our costs. Moreover, changes in our pricing and subscription models subject us to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth and make accurate projections regarding our future performance. Changes to our pricing and subscription models may also expose us to unexpected or unintended effects, including increased user dissatisfaction, reputational harm and difficulty obtaining or retaining customers. Further, large customers, which are the focus of our direct sales efforts, may demand greater price discounts. In an inflationary environment, our costs may increase and we may not be able to adjust our pricing models accordingly, which could adversely impact our financial performance.

Our business and operations may consume resources faster than we anticipate. We have incurred cumulative and recurring losses from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $1,487.5$1,546.9 million as of January 31, 2025.2026. We have also experienced negative or close to breakeven cash flows from operating activities, including cash used by operating activities of $9.1 million and cash provided by operating activities of $2.6 million and cash used in operating activities of $9.1$7.9 million for the years ended January 31, 20242025 and 2025,2026, respectively. As of January 31, 2025,2026, we had $45.3$43.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, which were held for working capital purposes. Additionally, no amounts were available to draw under our credit facility.
A strategic transaction, whether or not consummated, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2026, we announced that our board of directors initiated a formal process to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The pursuit of such strategic transactions could involve risks to our operations and financial results, whether or not such transaction is ultimately consummated. Such risks could include:
•Diversion of management’s attention away from our business;
•Significant transaction costs, which may or may not be recovered in the future and which may be incurred even if such strategic transaction fails to close or is otherwise unsuccessful;
•Dilution of our equity interests or a decrease in the value of our common stock;
•A change in control or a shareholder’s acquisition of a controlling stake in our business, which could trigger certain rights and remedies available to our contractual counterparties;
•Restrictions on our ability to raise additional capital, incur indebtedness or control decisions regarding our operations and management;
•Loss of key management personnel or employees, or the deterioration of our relationships with our employees;
•Disruption to our relationships with customers, contract counterparties and other stakeholders;
•Negative publicity or harm to our reputation; and
•Legal proceedings and substantial costs associated with litigation.
Any one or more of these factors or other risks could could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
•general economic and political conditions, both domestically and internationally, including the impacts of pandemics or other catastrophic events, military conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and hostilities betweenin Israelthe andMiddle Hamas),East, inflation, and adverse impacts to the financial services industry, as well as economic conditions specifically affecting industries in which our customers operate.
New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, which could affect the tax treatment of our (and our subsidiaries’) domestic and foreign financial results. Any new taxes could adversely affect our domestic and international business operations,operations and our business and financial performance. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us. For example, the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the ability to deduct research and development expenditures currentlyannually and instead requiresrequired taxpayers to capitalize and amortize those expenditures over five or fifteen years. Further, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 introduced a non-deductible excise tax of 1% on the value of certain share repurchases by publicly traded corporations, which may increase the costs to us of any share repurchases. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (or OBBBA), enacted on July 4, 2025, made a number of changes to U.S. federal income tax law, including allowing taxpayers to deduct certain U.S. research and development expenditures (while continuing to require taxpayers to capitalize and amortize foreign research and development expenditures), changing the calculation and deductibility of global intangible low-taxed income (renamed Net CFC Tested Income) and foreign derived intangibles income (renamed Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, reinstating 100% deductibility of bonus depreciation for property placed in service after January 19, 2025, and changing the calculation of deductible business interest expense to include depreciation and amortization, among other changes. While we do not anticipate any material impact to our financial statements, primarily due to the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, and no material permanent tax differences are expected, we are continuing to analyze the potential impact of the OBBBA and other legislation on our operations, business and financial performance.
Further, many countries and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have proposed to reallocate some portion of profits of large multinational companies to markets where sales arise, known as “Pillar One,” as well as enact a global minimum tax rate of at least 15% for multinationals with global revenue exceeding certain thresholds, known as “Pillar Two,” and many countries have adopted or intend to adopt these proposals. The OECD and participating jurisdictions have agreed to a “side-by-side” elective safe harbor that exempts electing U.S.-parented multinational entities from certain provisions of Pillar Two for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Changes to these and other areas in relation to international tax reform, including future actions taken by foreign governments,governments could increase uncertainty and may adversely affect our tax rate and operating results in future years.
For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was closed and placed in receivership and subsequently, additional financial institutions have been placed into receivership. Prior to SVB’s closure, we had approximately $12.4 million in deposit accounts with SVB and an additional $18.3 million subject to SVB sweep account arrangements (with amounts held in custodial accounts with third-party financial institutions). As a result of U.S. government intervention, we subsequently regained access to our accounts at SVB, and Silicon Valley Bridge Bank has assumed SVB’s obligations to honor our standby letter of credit. However, there remains significant uncertainty surrounding the impact of these bank closures on the broader financial system. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the U.S. government will intervene to provide access to uninsured funds in the future in the event of the failure of other financial institutions, or that they would do so in a timely fashion. In such an event, parties with which we have commercial agreements, including customers and suppliers, may be unable to satisfy their obligations to, or enter into new commercial arrangements with us.
Even if we do attract customers, the cost of new customer acquisition may prove so high as to prevent us from achieving or sustaining profitability. We recognize subscription revenue ratably over the term of the subscriptioncontract period. In general, customer acquisition costs and other upfront costs associated with new customers are much higher in the first year than the aggregate revenue we recognize from those new customers in the first year. As a result, the profitability of a customer to our business in any particular period depends in part upon how long a customer has been a subscriber and the degree to which it has expanded its usage of our platform. Additionally, we intend to continue to hire additional sales personnel to grow our domestic and international operations. If our sales and marketing efforts do not result in substantial increases in revenue, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.
The initial terms of our customer contracts typically vary in length between one and threefive years, and our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions after the expiration of their initial subscription periods. In some cases, the contracts automatically renew (with each party having the option to elect not to renew), but in circumstances where that is not the case, our customers may unilaterally elect not to renew, may seek to renew for lower subscription amounts or for shorter contract lengths, or may choose to renew for the same or fewer applications over time. A majority of our annual recurring revenue is up for renewal during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. Our renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including leadership changes within our customers resulting in loss of sponsorship, limited customer resources, pricing changes by us or competitors, customer satisfaction with our platform and related applications, the acquisition of customers by other companies, procurement or budgetary decisions, and deteriorating general economic conditions, including as a result of public health epidemics or pandemics. To the extent our customer base continues to grow, renewals and additional subscriptions by renewing customers will become an increasingly important part of our results. If our customers do not renew their subscriptions, or decrease the amount they spend with us, revenue will decline and our business will be harmed.
We do not control, or in some cases have limited control over, the operation of the data center facilities we use, and they are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. They may also be subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct, to adverse events caused by operator error, and to interruptions, data loss or corruption, and other performance problems due to various factors, including introductions of new capabilities, technology errors, infrastructure changes, distributed denial of service attacks, or other security related incidents. For instance, in December 2017, researchers identified significant CPU architecture vulnerabilities commonly known as “Spectre” and “Meltdown” that have required software updates and patches, including for providers of public cloud services, to mitigate such vulnerabilities and such updates and patches have required servers to be offline and potentially slow their performance. We may not be able to rapidly switch to new data centers or move customers from one data center to another in the event of any adverse event. Despite precautions taken at these facilities, the occurrence of a natural disaster, an act of terrorism or other act of malfeasance, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems at these facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in our service and the loss or corruption of, or unauthorized access to or acquisition of, customer data.

Our pricing and subscription models have evolved over time and will continue to evolve in the future. While more84% than 68%of our annual recurring revenue is now utilizing the platform as a consumption-based service, it is relatively new to our business and therefore contains inherent risks. Revenue recognized for certain customers may be negatively impacted due to our new consumption-based pricing model. For example, certain customers may end up using less data than originally contemplated in their initial consumption-based contract resulting in lower net retention in future years. Additionally, as we implement artificial intelligence tools on our platform, we may not be able to accurately predict customer demand of these tools, and if certain customers use these tools more than we anticipate, we may incur increased operational costs that may not be recovered in an appropriate timeframe. We believe our partner ecosystem will become increasingly important to our business as we continue its expansion. If our partners decide to internally adopt tools that we provide or find other ways that will reduce their need for our platform, such as by adopting artificial intelligence tools offered by our competitors in lieu of purchasing our services, that could result in lower volume of usage, which could adversely impact our financial performance. The success of our pricing model transition is subject to numerous variables, including, but not limited to, customer demand, renewal and expansion rates, our ability to capture upside from over-usage of volume in future contracts, our ability to further develop and scale infrastructure, the ability of our sales force to successfully execute new sales strategies and drive adoption of our platform, tax and accounting implications, pricing, and our costs. Moreover, changes in our pricing and subscription models subject us to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth and make accurate projections regarding our future performance. Changes to our pricing and subscription models may also expose us to unexpected or unintended effects, including increased user dissatisfaction, reputational harm and difficulty obtaining or retaining customers. Further, large customers, which are the focus of our direct sales efforts, may demand greater price discounts. In an inflationary environment, our costs may increase and we may not be able to adjust our pricing models accordingly, which could adversely impact our financial performance.
Our platform also provides real-time write-back capabilities to customer environments, including to the internet of things (IoT) products and services. The development of the internet of things (IoT) presents security, privacy and execution risks. Many IoT devices have limited interfaces and ability to be updated or patched. IoT solutions may collect large amounts of data, and our handling of IoT data may not satisfy customers or regulatory requirements. IoT scenarios may increasingly affect personal health and safety. If IoT solutions that include our technologies do not work as intended, violate the law, or harm individuals or businesses, we may be subject to legal claims or enforcement actions. These risks, if realized, may increase our costs, damage our reputation or brand, or negatively impact our business and operating results.
Moreover, many competitors expend a considerably greater amount of funds on their research and development programs, and those that do not may be acquired by larger companies that would allocate greater resources to competitors’ research and development programs. If we fail to maintain adequate research and development resources or compete effectively with the research and development programs of competitors, our business could be harmed. Our ability to grow is also subject to the riskrisks ofand opportunities presented by future disruptive technologies. If new technologies, such as those relating to artificial intelligence, emerge or improve such that they are, or are perceived to be, able to deliver business intelligence solutions or otherwise perform similar functions as our platform at lower prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely affect our ability to compete. Market and consumer perceptions of the future competitiveness of the SaaS industry are uncertain, which could negatively impact the market price or volatility of our stock and impair our ability to raise capital.
The success of our platform is dependent in large part on our customers’ ability to access data maintained on third partythird-party software and service platforms. Generally, we do not have agreements in place with these third parties that guarantee access to their platforms, and any agreements that we do have in place with these third parties are typically terminable for convenience by the third party. If these third parties restrict or prevent our ability to integrate our platform with their software or platform, including but not limited to, by limiting the functionality of our data connectors, our ability to access the data maintained on their systems or the speed at which such data is delivered, customers’ ability to access their relevant data in a timely manner may be limited, and our business and operating results may be adversely affected.
If we fail to effectively align, develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities with our new pricing structure and increase sales efficiency, our ability to increase our customer base and increase acceptance of our platform could be harmed.
To increase the number of customers and increase the market acceptance of our platform, we will need to align and expand our sales and marketing operations, including our domestic and international sales force, with our new pricing structure and increase sales efficiency. We are aligning our cost structure to better reflect significant product and business model innovation with the expectation that go-to-market operations in our new consumption-based business model will be more efficient and require less investment. We will continue to dedicate significant resources to sales and marketing programs. We believe that there is significant competition for direct sales personnel with the sales skills and technical knowledge that we require. Our ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will depend, in large part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining a sufficient number of direct sales personnel and sales leadership. New hires require significant training and time before they achieve full productivity, particularly in new sales territories. Recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as quickly as we would like, changes in sales leadership could adversely affect our existing sales personnel, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future in the markets where we do business. The effectiveness of our sales and marketing has also varied over time and, together with the effectiveness of any partners or resellers we may engage, may vary in the future. Our business and operating results may be harmed if our efforts do not generate a correspondingly significant increase in revenue. We may not achieve revenue growth from expanding our sales force if we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented sales personnel, if our new sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, or if our sales and marketing programs are not effective. In particular, we may in the future need to further adjust our go-to-market cost structure and target metrics, particularly as they relate to how we structure, effect, and compensate our direct sales personnel to become more efficient and effective at selling under a consumption-based business model. Any adjustments in compensation structure could negatively affect the productivity of our direct sales personnel, and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement the adjustments in a timely or cost-effective manner, or that we will be able to realize all or any of the expected benefits from such adjustments.
We have experienced and may continue to experience changes to our management and board, which createsmay create uncertainties and could harm our business.
We have experienced changes to our management and board in recent years. Changes to strategic or operating goals, which can often times occur with the appointment of new executives and directors,directors can create uncertainty, maycan negatively impact our ability to execute quickly and effectively, and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, executive leadership and director transition periods are often difficult as the newsuch executives and directors gain more detailed knowledge of our operations, and friction can result from changes in strategy and management style. Management and board changes may inherently causescause some loss of institutional knowledge, which can negatively affect strategy and execution. In addition, to the extent we experience management turnover, competition for top management is high and it may take months to find a candidate that meets our requirements. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified management personnel, our business could suffer.
Volatility or lack of positive performance in our stock price may also affect our ability to attract and retain our key employees. Employees may be more likely to leave us if the shares they own or the shares underlying their vestedequity optionsawards have significantly appreciated or depreciated in valuevalue. relativeIn addition, the authorized shares remaining under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan may be insufficient to thecontinue originalto purchaseprovide pricesequity ofincentives theat shares or the exercise prices of the options, or, conversely, if the exercise prices of the optionslevels that theywould holdbe are significantly above the market price of our common stock.meaningful. If we are unable to appropriately incentivize and retain our employees through equity compensation, or if we needseek to increase the authorized shares under our equity incentive plan or increase our compensation expenses in order to appropriately incentivize and retain our employees, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows would be adversely affected and the ownership of existing shareholders would be diluted.

We are subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the internet and software, in the United States as well as the international markets in which we do business. These regulations and laws may cover employment, taxation, tariffs, privacy, cybersecurity, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights and other intellectual property, mobile communications, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, unencumbered internet access to our services, the design and operation of websites, artificial intelligence, and the characteristics and quality of software and services. It is possible changes to these regulations and laws, as well as compliance challenges related to the complexity of multiple, conflicting and changing sets of applicable regulations and laws, may impact our sales, operations, and future growth.
In the United States, various laws and regulations apply to the collection, disclosure, and other processing of certain types of data, including with respect to security measures used to protect such data. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws as imposing standards for the collection, use, dissemination, security, and other processing of data. The laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity are evolving, can be subject to significant change, and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. For example, California in 2018 enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which went into effect on January 1, 2020.

Broad federal privacy legislation has also been proposed. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a rule entitled the Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons, which places restrictions on data transactions involving sensitive personal data and certain “Countries of Concern” and “Covered Persons” (i.e., individuals and entities located in or controlled by individuals or entities located in those jurisdictions). Additionally, states have adopted other laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity, such as Washington’s My Health, My Data Act, which includes a private right of action. The U.S. Department of Justice also has issued rules restricting, and imposing requirements in connection with, certain bulk transfers of sensitive personal information. These and other new and evolving laws and regulations relating to privacy in the U.S. could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business. Aspects of these laws and regulations and their interpretation and enforcement remain uncertain. We cannot fully predict the impact of these or other new and evolving laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity on our business or operations, but they may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply.
In addition, several foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the E.U., as well as the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, India, and Japan, where we maintain offices or other operational presences, have laws and regulations dealing with the handling and processing of personal data obtained from their residents, which in certain cases are more restrictive than those in the United States. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, access, use, storage, security, disclosure, and other processing of various types of data, including data that identifies or may be used to identify an individual. Such laws and regulations may be modified or subject to new or different interpretations, and new laws and regulations may be enacted in the future. Within the E.U., in May 2018, a far-reaching regulation governing data and privacy practices called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective. The GDPR includes stringent operational requirements for processors and controllers of personal data and imposes significant penalties for noncompliance of up to the greater of €20 million or 4% of global annual revenues. Complying with the GDPR, the CCPA, and other laws and regulations governing privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity may cause us to incur substantial operational costs or require us to modify our data handling practices. Actual or alleged noncompliance could result in proceedings against us by governmental entitiesauthorities or others (including a private right of action for affected individuals in certain instances) and substantial penalties, fines, and other liabilities, and may otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Further, the United Kingdom has enacted a Data Protection Act and a version of the GDPR referred to as the UK GDPR that, collectively, substantially implement the GDPR in the United Kingdom and provide for penalties of up to the greater of £17.5 million and 4% of total annual revenue. Uncertainty remains, however, regarding aspects of data protection in the United Kingdom in the medium to long term,term. The United Kingdom made targeted amendments to its data protection regime in the UK Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, causing the United Kingdom is contemplating newKingdom’s data protection legislation.regime to differ more significantly from the GDPR. On June 28, 2021, the European Commission announced a decision of “adequacy” concluding that the United Kingdom ensures an equivalent level of data protection to the GDPR, which providesgenerally some relief regarding the legality of continuedpermitted personal data flows from the European Economic Area to the United Kingdom. This adequacy determination must bewas renewed afterin fourDecember years,2025 however,to andextend through December 2031, but it may be modified or revoked in the interim. Further, United Kingdom data protection law imposes restrictions on personal data transfers to the U.S., similar to those imposed by the GDPR, and the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office issued new standard contractual clauses, effective March 21, 2022, that are required to be implemented.
Additionally, we may be or become subject to data localization laws mandating that data collected in a foreign country be processed only within that country. These or other laws relating to privacy or data protection could require us to expand data storage facilities in foreign jurisdictions or to obtain new local data storage in such countries. The expenditures this would require, as well as costs of compliance generally, could harm our financial condition. The regulatory environment applicable to the collection, use, and other processing of, and security measures with respect to, personal data of residents of the E.U., United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil, the PRC, and other foreign jurisdictions, and our actions taken in response, may cause us to be required to undertake additional contractual negotiations, modify policies and procedures, and otherwise to assume additional liabilities or incur additional costs, and could result in harm to our business, operating results, and financial condition being harmed.condition.
We enter into business associate agreements with our customers who require them in order to comply with the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and therefore we are directly subject to certain provisions of HIPAA applicable to business associates. We may collect and process protected health information as part of our designated service, which may subject us to a number of data protection, security, privacy, and other government- and industry-specific requirements. In addition, if we are unable to comply with our obligations relating to the protection and processing of protected health information, we could be found to have breached our contracts with customers with whom we have a business associate relationship. Noncompliance with laws and regulations relating to privacy and security of personal information, including HIPAA, or with contractual obligations, including under any business associate agreement, may lead to significant fines, civil and criminal penalties, and other liabilities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) audits the compliance of business associates and enforces HIPAA privacy and security standards. HHS enforcement activity has increased in recent years and HHS has signaled its intent to continue this trend. Implementing rules under HIPAA addressing privacy, and a related statute addressing security, are the subject of final and proposed modifications, respectively. In addition to HHS, state attorneys general are authorized to bring civil actions seeking either injunctions or damages to the extent violations implicate the privacy of state residents.
Federal, state, and foreign laws, regulations, and other actual or asserted obligations relating to privacy, data protection, or cybersecurity may be interpreted and applied in manners that are, or are alleged to be, inconsistent with our practices. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state, or foreign laws, regulations, policies, legal or contractual obligations, industry standards, regulatory guidance or other actual or asserted obligations relating to privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, marketing, or consumer communications may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, claims, demands, and litigation by private entities, fines, penalties, and other liabilities, harm to our reputation and adverse publicity, and could cause our customers and partners to lose trust in us, which could materially affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. We expect that there will continue to be new laws, regulations, industry standards and other actual and asserted obligations relating to privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, marketing, and consumer communications, and cybersecuritycommunications proposed and enacted or otherwise implemented in the United States, the E.U., and other jurisdictions, and we cannot fully predict the impact such future laws, regulations, standards, and obligations may have on our business. Future laws, regulations, standards, and other actual or asserted obligations, or any changed interpretation of existing laws or regulations could impair our ability to develop and market new features and maintain and grow our customer base and increase revenue. Future restrictions on the collection, use, sharing, disclosure, or other processing of data could require us to incur additional costs or modify our platform, possibly in a material manner, which we may be unable to achieve in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and which could limit our ability to develop new features.
In addition to the privacy and data protection regulations described above, our business is also subject to contractual obligations to maintain compliance with leading security frameworks and standards such as AICPA’s SOC 1 and SOC 2 (with HIPAA validation); International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for ISO 27001 and ISO 27018; HITRUST Alliance’s HITRUST CSF (with HIPAA validation); and Texas Department of Information Resources’ TX-RAMP certification. Annually, we also perform an internal/self-analysis of our adherence to the requirements stated in Australian Cyber Security Center (ASCS)’s IRAP framework and the United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Essentials. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with these contractual obligations, industry standards, regulatory guidance or other actual or asserted obligations relating to privacy, data protection and cybersecurity may result in loss of certification, governmental investigations and enforcement actions, claims, demands, and litigation by private entities, fines, penalties, and other liabilities, harm to our reputation and adverse publicity, and could cause our customers and partners to lose trust in us, which could materially affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
As a provider of cloudcloud-based platform services, our operations involve the storagestorage, transmission, and transmissionother processing of large amounts of our customers’ sensitiveconfidential and proprietary information, and we also collect, store, transmit, and otherwise process large amounts of sensitive corporate, personal, and other information relating to our business and operations, including intellectual property, proprietary business information, personally identifiable information, and other confidential information. Cyber-attacks and other malicious internet-based activity continue to increase generally in both frequency and sophistication (including the use of emerging artificial intelligence technologies), and cloud-based platform providers of software and services have been targeted. Many of our employees work remotely at least part of the time, which may pose additional cybersecurity risks. Within cloud service delivery organizations, there is an increased threat from both targeted and non-targeted activities. These activities may originate from threat actor groups with various motivations, including cyber espionage, financial or ideological motivations. We may also face numerous types of attacks, including financial attacks in the form of ransomware/cyber extortion, artificial intelligence-assisted deepfake attacks and disinformation campaigns, fraud, misappropriation of resources (such as, for instance, cryptocurrency mining operations using Domo resources), and malicious attacks such as distributed denial of service with the intention to cause extended period of service downtime, as well as other types of security incidents which could prevent customers from accessing our products and services. Attackers may, in addition to other motivations, seek to render unavailable, destroy, or modify, access, or accessdisclose without authorization the various types of data we store or otherwise process, including our own data, our customers’ data generally, or data of specific customers. Our employees and contractors who have access to companyour customers’ data as well as customer personal information and/or customercompany data could be a victim of social engineering tactics such as phishing and business email compromise, which could further lead to malware and/or ransomware being installed on our company assets and which could cause a potential compromise of systems and information. In addition, as we host our platform on third partythird-party cloud hosting services offered by the leading cloud hosting providers, any misconfiguration in the cloud due to our own unintentional error or lack of understanding, or any exploitation of vulnerabilities on those cloud hosting providers’ technology, could lead to unauthorized access, misuse, acquisition, disclosure, loss, alteration, destruction, or other unauthorized processing of our and our customers’ data, including confidential, sensitive, and otherpersonal information about individuals.information.
We engage third-party hosting and other service providers to store and otherwise process some of our and our customers’ data, including personal, confidential, sensitive, and otherpersonal information relating to individuals.relating. Our service providers may also be the targets of cyberattacks and other malicious activity, or may experience security incidents caused by other factors. While we have established a formal third partythird-party security risk assessment process to address security risks for our company relating to our key third partythird-party service providers, our ability to monitor our service providers’ security measures is limited, and, in any event, third parties or insider threats may be able to circumvent those security measures or our own security measures, resulting in unavailability of or unauthorized access to, misuse, acquisition, disclosure, loss, alteration, destruction, or other unauthorized processing of our and our customers’ data, including confidential, sensitive, and otherpersonal information about individuals.information. We also use and rely on several open source libraries and packages, and certain libraries and packages while developing our product and if such libraries or packages are vulnerable and are exploited, our ability to address such vulnerabilities in a timely manner may be limited and may result in disruptions to our platform or operations and in unavailability of or unauthorized access to, misuse, acquisition, disclosure, loss, alteration, destruction, or other unauthorized processing of our and our customers’ data, including confidential, sensitive, and otherpersonal informationinformation. about individuals. Occasionally, weWe also deploy code generated by artificial intelligence (AI) toolstools, and improper or inadequate vetting of AI-generated code for any security related vulnerabilities may result in exploitation of such vulnerabilities leading to disruption, unauthorized access to our infrastructure, our confidential data or our customers' data.
Additionally, there have been and may continue to be significant supply chain cyber-attacks generally, and our third-party service providers (and business partners) may be targeted or impacted by such attacks. We cannot guarantee that our systems and networks or those of our vendorsvendors, service providers, or servicebusiness providerspartners have not been compromised or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach or compromise of or disruption to our systems and networks or the systems and networks of third parties that support us and our services. Malicious actors may be able to circumvent those security measures, resulting in unavailability of, unauthorized access to, misuse, disclosure, loss, unavailability, destruction, or other unauthorized processing of our and our customers’ data, including sensitiveconfidential, sensitive, and personal information. We and our service providers may also face difficulties or delays in identifying, remediating, and otherwise responding to cyberattacks and other security breaches and incidents. Because the techniques used and vulnerabilities exploited to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we and our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or vulnerabilities or implement adequate preventative measures. We and our third-party service providers may also experience security breaches and incidents that remain undetected for an extended period.
Enterprise useUse of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technologies may result in GenAI providers having access to and processing of sensitive information, intellectual property, source code, trade secrets, and other data, through direct user input or the API, including customer or private information and confidential information. Sending confidential and private data outside of our own servers could trigger legal and compliance exposure, as well as risks of information exposure, including unauthorized acquisition, use, or other processing. Such exposure can result from contractual (for example, with customers) or regulatory obligations (such as CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA). Furthermore, if the GenAI platform’s own systems and infrastructure are not secure, datasecurity breaches or incidents may occur and lead to the unauthorized exposure of sensitiveconfidential information such as customer data, financial information, and proprietary business information, or it may be believed or asserted that one or more of these has occurred. Any of these circumstances may impact our ability to realize the benefit of, or adequately maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property or confidential information, harming our competitive position and business. Threat actors could also use GenAI and other forms of artificial intelligence for malicious purposes, increasing the frequency or intensity of attacks and the complexity level some are currently capable of, e.g. phishing attacks, fraud, social engineering, and other possible malicious use, such as with writing malware. Code generated by GenAI could potentially be used and deployed without a proper security audit or code review to find vulnerable or malicious components. This could cause widespread deployment of vulnerable code within the organizationour systems.
In addition, insider threats pose significant risks to our business, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer datadata, our business information and the overall reputation of the organization. As employees or trusted individuals have authorized access to sensitiveour systems and customer information,data, malicious insiders may intentionally abuse their privileges, leading to actual or perceived datasecurity breaches or incidents, intellectual property theft or misappropriation, or unauthorized access to, or use of, systems or data. Additionally, insiders may inadvertently access, use, expose, or otherwise process confidential,without personal,authorization customer data or otherwiseconfidential, criticalsensitive, or personal information, or engage in unauthorized access to or use of company devices, networks, systems, or other resources, due to error, negligence, lack of awareness, or otherwise. We have suffered certain of these incidents in the past and expect that they will occur in the future.
We could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to alleviate problems caused by such actual or perceived security breaches, incidents, or other events and to remediate our systems, we could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation or regulatory action and possible liability, and our ability to operate our business may be impaired. Additionally, actual, potential, or anticipated attacks, security breaches or incidents, or other events, may cause us to incur increasing costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees and engage third-party experts and consultants.
Due to political and macroeconomic uncertainty and military actions associated with geopolitical events such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and hostilities betweenin Israelthe andMiddle Hamas,East, we and our third-party service providers may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of cybersecurity attacks, phishing attacks, viruses, malware, ransomware, hacking, distributed denial of service, or similar breaches and incidents from nation-state and affiliated actors, including attacks that could materially disrupt our systems, operations, and platform. In addition, if the security measures of our customers are compromised, even without any actual compromise of our platform or systems or any networks or systems of our service providers, we may face negative publicity or reputational harm if customers or others incorrectly attribute the blame for such security breaches or other incidents to us, our platform, our systems or networks, or those of our service providers. Similarly, we may face reputational harm if any security breach or incident is caused by or otherwise attributed to our employees, vendors, or service providers as a result of inadvertent error, malfeasance, an insider attack, or otherwise. If customers or partners believe that our platform does not provide adequate security for the storage of personal or other sensitive information or its transmission over the internet, our business will be harmed. Customers’ concerns about security or privacy may deter them from using our platform for activities that involve personal or other sensitive information.
We update our platform on a frequent basis. Despite efforts to test our updates, errors, failures or bugs may not be found in our platform until after itthe update is deployed to our customers. We have discovered and expect we will continue to discover errors, failures and bugs in our platform and anticipate that certain of these errors, failures and bugs will only be discovered and remediated after deployment to customers. Real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our platform could result in negative publicity, government inquiries, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our platform, loss of competitive position, or claims by customers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem.
We implement bug fixes and upgrades as part of our regular system maintenance, which may lead to system downtime. Even if we are able to implement the bug fixes and upgrades in a timely manner, any history of inaccuracies in the data we collectprocess for our customers, or the loss, damage, unauthorized access to or acquisition of, or inadvertent release or exposure of confidential or other sensitivecustomer data could cause our reputation to be harmed and result in claims against us, and customers may elect not to purchase or renew their agreements with us or we may incur increased insurance costs. The costs associated with any material defects or errors in our software or other performance problems may be substantial and could harm our operating results.
Our success is dependent, in part, upon protecting our proprietary technology. As of January 31, 2025, we had 82 issued U.S. patents covering our technology for examination in the United States. Our issuedcurrent patents, and any patents issued in the future, may not provide us with any competitive advantages or may be challenged by third parties, and our patent applications may never be granted.parties. Additionally, the process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming, and we may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. Even if issued, there can be no assurance that these patents will adequately protect our intellectual property, as the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of patent and other intellectual property rights are uncertain.
Future transfers by the holder of Class A common stock will generally result in those shares converting into shares of Class B common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for estate planning or charitable purposes. Mr. James has informed us he and Cocolalla, LLC have entered into arrangements under which he has pledged all of such shares in addition to Class B shares held by him to secure a loan with a financial institution. If these shares were to be sold or otherwise transferred upon default of the underlying loan, the market price of our Class B common stock could decline or be volatile.volatile or certain governance provisions in our certificate of incorporation may be triggered, resulting in changes to our corporate governance structure. For additional information, see the section of this report captioned “—Other Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class B Common Stock—Future sales of our Class B common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.”
The trading market for our Class B common stock and customer demand for our platform is influenced by the research and reports that securities and industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us do not publish positive reports about our company, platform and value proposition, do not view us as a market leader, or cease or fail to regularly publish reports on us, our stock price or trading volume would likely decline. In addition, industry analysts may influence current and potential customers; if any of the foregoing were to occur, customer demand for our platform, operating results and prospects may be adversely impacted. Further, we arehave transitioningtransitioned primarily to a consumption-based businesspricing model and to the extent that analysts fail to appreciate the benefits of such a model, misinterpret key performance indicators associated with such a model or continue to focus on metrics unduly associated with a subscription-based model, our stock price and trading volume may decline or our business may suffer.
Our stock price could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. For example, we filed: (i) on September 6, 2024, a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that became effective on September 20, 2024 and allows us to undertake various equity and debt offerings up to $300.0 million; and (ii) on September 20, 2024, a prospectus supplement to the shelf registration statement that covers the offering, issuance and sale of up to $150.0 million of our Class B common stock from time to time through an “at-the-market” program under the Securities Act. To date, we hadhave not sold any shares under our “at-the-market” program.
Further, we have been advised that Mr. James has pledged the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by him to secure a loan with a financial institution, which loan has or will have various requirements to repay all or a portion of the loan upon the occurrence of various events, including when the price of the Class B common stock goes below certain specified levels. Mr. James has indicated that (1) he has substantial assets other than shares of our common stock and (2) if repayment of the loan ishas triggeredbeen thereextended iswith a curenew periodmaturity todate sell assets or restructurein the loan.last two weeks of June 2026. Although Mr. James has indicated his intention to sell other assets if necessary, shares of our common stock may need to be sold or otherwise transferred to meet these repayment requirements. Upon a default under such loan following any applicable cure period,loan, the lenders could sell the pledged shares into the marketmarket. without limitation on volumeSales or manner of sale. Salestransfers of such shares to reduce the loan balance or by the lenders upon foreclosure are likely to adversely affect our stock price. Mr. James has also indicated to us that he may in the future from time to time refinance such indebtedness, enter into derivative transactions based on the value of our Class B common stock, dispose of shares of common stock, otherwise monetize shares of his common stock and/or engage in other transactions relating to shares of our common stock and/or other securities of the company. Any of these activities may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Mr. James has also indicated that he intends to (1) continue to beneficially own a majority of the Class A common stock that he currently beneficially owns and (2) continue to control at least a majority of the voting power of our company.
Current or future economic uncertainties or downturns could adversely affect our business and operating results. Negative general macroeconomic conditions in both in the United States and abroad, including conditions resulting from changes in gross domestic product growth, financial and credit market fluctuations, rising inflation, a recession, political deadlock, natural catastrophes, pandemics, military conflict (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and hostilities betweenin Israelthe andMiddle HamasEast) and terrorist attacks, whether in the United States, Europe, the Asia Pacific region or elsewhere, could cause a decrease in business investments, including corporate spending on business intelligence software in general and negatively affect the rate of growth of our business.

Our business model focuses on obtaining new customers and maximizing the lifetime value of those customer relationships. We recognize subscription revenue ratably over the term of the subscription period.contract. In general, customer acquisition costs and other upfront costs associated with new customers are higher in the first year than the aggregate revenue we recognize from those new customers in the first year. Certain contract acquisitions costs are capitalized and then amortized over a period of four years for initial contracts. Over the lifetime of the customer relationship, we also incur sales and marketing costs to renew or increase usage per customer. However, these costs, as a percentage of revenue, are significantly less than those initially incurred to acquire the customer. As a result, the profitability of a customer to our business in any particular period depends in part upon how long a customer has been a subscriber and the degree to which it has expanded its usage of our platform.
For the years ended January 31, 2023,2024, 20242025 and 2025,2026, we had total revenue of $308.6$319.0 million, $319.0$317.0 million and $317.0$318.9 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growthdecline of 3%1% and declinegrowth of 1% for the years ended January 31, 20242025 and 2025,2026, respectively. Our enterprise customers generated revenue of $160.7$155.8 million, $155.8$145.0 million, and $145.0$140.8 million for the years ended January 31, 2023,2024, 20242025 and 2025,2026, respectively, or year-over-year decline of 3%7% and 7%,3%, respectively. Our corporate customers generated revenue of $147.9$163.2 million, $163.2$172.0 million, and $172.0$178.1 million for the years ended January 31, 2023,2024, 20242025 and 2025,2026, respectively, or year-over-year growth of 10%5% and 5%,3%, respectively.
As a result of the effects of the macroeconomic environment, which has elongated the software sales cycle, increased deal scrutiny, and made renewal discussions more challenging, our revenue growth may be negatively impacted in the near term. In response to these dynamics, we have taken and intend to continue to take steps to better align our sales team and focus on controlling costs, which we expect will result in improved margins, sustained positive cash flow and efficient growth in the long term.

These conditions may continue to impact,impact our business and those of our customers in a manner that we may not be able to quantify or isolate from other drivers of our performance.performance, and may negatively impact our revenue growth in the near term. Ongoing concerns about the health of the U.S. and global economies may cause certain of our current and potential customers to reduce or delay technology spending or seek payment or other concessions from us. These conditions, along with the ongoing uncertainty in the SaaS sector, may materially and negatively impact our operating results, financial condition and prospects. In response to these dynamics, we have taken and intend to continue to take steps to better align our sales team and focus on controlling costs, which we expect will result in improved margins, sustained positive cash flow and efficient growth in the long term.
Our ability to successfully upsell and the impact of cancellations may vary from period to period. The extent of this variability depends on a number of factors including the size and timing of upsells and cancellations relative to the initial subscriptions.
We have invested in platform capabilities and online support resources that allow our customers to expand the use of our platform in a self-guided manner. Our professional services, customer support and customer success functions also support our sales force by helping customers to successfully deploy our platform and implement additional use cases. In addition, we believe our partner ecosystem willhas become increasingly important over time. We work closely with our customers to drive increased engagement with our platform by identifying new use cases through our customer success teams, as well as in-platform, self-guided experiences. We actively engage with our customers to assess whether they are satisfied and fully realizing the benefits of our platform. While these efforts often require a substantial commitment and upfront costs, we believe our investment in product, customer support, customer success and professional services will create opportunities to expand our customer relationships over time.
An important metric that we use to evaluate our performance in retaining customers is gross retention rate. We calculate our gross retention rate by taking the dollar amount of annual contract value (ACV) that renews in a given period divided by the ACV that was up for renewal in that same period. The ACV of multi-year contracts is also considered in the calculation based on the period in which the annual anniversary of the contract falls. Our trailing twelve-month gross retention rate was 89%,86%, 86%85% and 85% for the 12 months ended January 31, 2023,2024, 20242025 and 2025,2026, respectively. Our gross retention has declined in part due to macroeconomic conditions and challenging renewals from customers with COVID-19 use cases of our platform.
ARR net retention rate enables measurement ofmeasures the progress of our business initiatives and is used by management to make operational decisions. ARR net retention rate is a performance metric and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items.
As we continue to expand our partner ecosystem and develop methods to encourage wider and more strategic adoptions, we expect that customer retention will increase over the long term. Our ability to successfully upsell and the impact of cancellations may vary from period to period. The extent of this variability depends on a number of factors including the size and timing of upsells and cancellations relative to the initial subscriptions.
Total other expense, net consists of loss on extinguishment of debtdebt, remeasurement of warrant liability, and other expense, net. Other expense, net consists primarily of interest expense related to long-term debt. It also includes the effect of exchange rates on foreign currency transaction gains and losses, foreign currency gains and losses upon remeasurement of intercompany balances, and interest income. The transactional impacts of foreign currency are recorded as foreign currency losses (gains) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income taxes consistsconsist primarily of income taxes related to foreign and state jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Because of the uncertainty of the realization of the deferred tax assets, we have a full valuation allowance for domestic net deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits related primarily to research and development.
The increase in subscription revenue, which includes both consumption-based and subscription-based agreements, was primarily due to a $16.8$14.0 million increase from new customerscustomers, andoffset by a $16.3$10.6 million net decrease from existing customers. Our customer count decreased 2%7% from January 31, 20242025 to January 31, 2025.2026. For the purpose of this comparison, new customers are defined as those added since the end of the prior year. Revenue from existing customers is presented net of churn. The decrease in professional services and other revenue was primarily due to athe lower volumedelivery of billablecertain hoursother deliveredcontracts duringrecognized in the yearprior ended January 31, 2025. For fiscal 2026 we expect that total revenue will be approximately flat compared to fiscal 2025.year.
The increase in cost of subscription revenue was primarily due to a $4.6 million increase in our third-party web hosting services. Amortization related to capitalized software development costs increased by $2.2 million and employee-related costs increased by $1.3 million. Costs related to fees paid to third parties for use of their technology and services decreased by $0.6 million.

The decrease in cost of professional services and other revenue is primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in outsourced services and a $1.0 million decrease in employee-related costs.
Subscription gross margin decreased slightly primarily due to a decline in revenue growth and increased costs related to third-party web hosting services as a result of increased customer data usage. WeAs we continue to shift more of our customer base to consumption-based pricing, we expect subscription gross margin to stabilizeremain relatively stable in the near term and increase in the long term.
Services gross margin remainedincreased flat.primarily due to a decrease in outsourced services. We expect the gross margin for professional services and other to fluctuate from period to period due to changes in the proportion of services provided by third-party consultants, seasonality, and timing of projects with higherdiffering margins.
The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $13.3$8.6 million decrease in employee-related costs.costs, driven by stock-based compensation. Commissions expense decreased by $1.6 million.

The increase in employee-related costs was partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in professional and legal fees, which is partially due to $1.5 million of costs related to the amendment to the credit facility that occurred during the yearprior ended January 31, 2025.year. General and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue increased from 15% in the year ended January 31, 2024 to 17% in the year ended January 31, 2025.2025 to 19% in the year ended January 31, 2026. We expect general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue to decrease in the near term and fluctuate from period to period in the long term.
Loss on extinguishment of debt increaseddecreased due to a $1.9 million loss recognized in the prior year as a result of the August 2024 amendment to the credit facility.
Remeasurement of warrant liability resulted in a $2.0 million gain during the year ended January 31, 2026, a favorable change of $2.1 million.
Other expense, net increased primarily due to an increase in interest expense,expense and a decrease in interest income. These were partially offset by a decrease in expense related to changes in foreign exchange rates and higher balances of cash denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.
Income taxes decreasedincreased primarily due to deferredhigher taxtaxable treatment of certain expensesincome from our international subsidiaries during the year ended January 31, 2025.2026. In the long term, we expect income tax expense to increase in conjunction with higher taxable income from our international subsidiaries.
Moreover, we may not be able to access a portion of our existing cash and cash equivalents due to conditions adversely affecting the financial institutions with which we do business, including limited liquidity, insolvency or receivership. Any such conditions could imperil our ability to access our existing cash and cash equivalents and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. For additional information, see the section of this report captioned “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Capital Needs—Adverse events or perceptions affecting the financial services industry could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and prospects.”
TheWe have a credit facility that permits us to incur up to approximately $125.3 million in term loan borrowings, all of which had been drawn as of January 31, 2025.2026. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.
In February 2024, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility which extended the maturity date for the outstanding loan from April 1, 2025 to April 1, 2026 and made certain modifications to the financial covenants. In conjunction with this amendment, we issued 189,036 fully-vested warrants to purchase shares of our Class B common stock.
In August 2024, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility which refinanced the existing term loans, extended the maturity date from April 1, 2026 to August 19, 2028, revised interest amounts payable in cash and payable in kind, and made certain modifications to the financial covenants. Furthermore, certain lenders participating in the credit facility were paid in full for their portion of the principal, PIK interest, and amendment fee and were replaced by new lenders who refinanced those amounts. We paid and subsequently refinanced the $7.0 million closing fee associated with the credit facility, resulting in no net impact to our cash balance. Additionally, the $5.0 million amendment fee from the August 2020 amendment plus the$2.3 million of accrued PIK interest of approximately $2.3 million as of August 2024,interest, totaling $7.3 million, was refinanced as the Second PIK Amendment Fee per the August 2024 amendment. The Second PIK Amendment Fee accrues interest at a rate of 9.5% per year and is due upon maturity, along with the related capitalized interest. Also in conjunction with this amendment, we issued 1,022,918 fully-vested warrants to purchase shares of our Class B common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expire on August 19, 2028.
The credit facility requires interest-only payments on a portion of the accrued interest until the maturity date. This payable portion of the interest that accrues on the outstanding principal of the term loan is due in cash on a monthly basis, which, as of January 31, 2025,2026, accrued at a floating rate equal to the greater of (1) 8.0% and (2) Adjusted Term SOFR. Adjusted Term SOFR is defined as the greater of (a) 2.5% and (b) three-month Term SOFR. In the event that SOFR is unavailable, interest will accrue at a floating rate equal to the greater of (1) 7.0% and (2) the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.75% per year. The Alternate Base Rate is defined as the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate (b) Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% and (c) Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%.1.0%. The Federal Funds Effective rate is defined as the rate published by the Federal Reserve System as the overnight rate, or, if such rate is not so published, the average of the quotations for the day for such transaction received by Administrative Agent from three Federal funds brokers. As of January 31, 2025,2026, the cash interest rate was approximately 7.5%.6.9%. In addition to the 7.5%6.9% cash interest rate, a fixed rate equal to 5.0% per year accrues on the outstanding principal of the term loan. This capitalized portion of the interest is added to the principal amount of the outstanding term loan on a monthly basis and is due upon maturity.
Our operating activities consisted primarily of payments we received from our customers, cash we invest in our personnel, timing and amounts we use to fund marketing programs and events to expand our customer base, the costs to provide our cloud-based platform and related outsourced professional services to our customers.
Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended January 31, 2023 consisted of cash outflows of $325.3 million exceeding the $314.4 million of cash collected from customers. Significant components of cash outflows included $193.9 million for personnel costs and $67.5 million for marketing programs and events, third-party costs to provide our platform and outsourced professional services.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended January 31, 2026 consisted of cash collected from customers of $313.7 million exceeding the $305.8 million of cash outflows. Significant components of cash outflows included $162.4 million for personnel costs and $77.5 million for marketing programs and events, third-party costs to provide our platform and outsourced professional services.
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended January 31, 2023 consisted primarily of $6.6 million of capitalized development costs related to internal-use software and $1.3 million of purchased property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended January 31, 2026 consisted primarily of $9.3 million of capitalized development costs related to internal-use software and $0.7 million of purchased property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended January 31, 2023 consisted primarily of $1.6 million of proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan and $0.9 million of proceeds received from stock option exercises.
Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended January 31, 2026 consisted primarily of $14.7 million of payments on short-term payable financing, $3.2 million used to repurchase shares for tax withholdings on vesting of restricted stock, $0.2 million in debt-issuance costs, and $0.2 million in deferred costs for registration statement. These were partially offset by $14.8 million of proceeds from short-term payable financing and $1.3 million of proceeds from shares issued in connection with our employee stock purchase plan.

Risks Related to the Proposed Transaction with Progress
We have entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of our assets, and the failure to complete this transaction, or delays in closing this transaction, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2026, we announced that our board of directors initiated a formal process to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. On July 22, 2026, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Progress Software Corporation (Progress), pursuant to which Progress agreed to acquire substantially all of our assets and assume certain liabilities for $400 million in cash (Asset Sale). We cannot provide assurance that the Asset Sale will be completed on the timeline currently anticipated or at all. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, Progress entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (Support Agreement) with stockholders of the Company holding sufficient voting power to approve the transaction under applicable law and the Company’s organizational documents (Majority Stockholders), pursuant to which the Majority Stockholders agreed, among other things, to execute and deliver a written consent approving and adopting the Purchase Agreement and the transactions thereunder and to comply with certain transfer and other restrictions with respect to their shares of our common stock, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Support Agreement. The closing of the Asset Sale is also subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions.
The Purchase Agreement includes customary “no-shop” restrictions, subject to an exception permitting our board of directors to consider unsolicited competing proposals, which means the Asset Sale could still be superseded, delayed, or disrupted by a competing bid. The Purchase Agreement also provides for a downward adjustment to the $400 million purchase price if the cash acquired by Progress at closing is below a specified $25.0 million threshold, and requires us to pay Progress a termination fee of $13.5 million if the Purchase Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, including our termination following an uncured breach that prevents closing by November 30, 2026, or in connection with a competing proposal. The pursuit of the Asset Sale or any other such strategic transactions could involve risks to our operations and financial results, whether or not such transaction is ultimately consummated. Such risks could include:
•Significant transaction costs (potentially including any termination fees), which may or may not be recovered in the future and which may be incurred even if such strategic transaction fails to close or is otherwise unsuccessful;
Following the closing of the Asset Sale, we will no longer have an operating business, and our future success will depend on our ability to identify a use of the proceeds from the Asset Sale.
If we complete the Asset Sale, we will sell substantially all of our operating assets and will retain, among other things, cash proceeds from the Asset Sale and our net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and certain other tax attributes. We do not intend to liquidate following the closing, and our board of directors will evaluate alternatives for the use of the cash proceeds from the Asset Sale. Those alternatives are currently expected to include using such cash proceeds to fund, at least in part, the acquisition of assets that will allow us to potentially derive a benefit from our NOLs and certain other tax attributes. There is no assurance that our board of directors will be able to identify, negotiate and complete any such transaction, or that any such transaction, if completed, will be successful. We may also incur substantial costs in connection with our efforts to identify and evaluate potential transactions, whether or not any such transaction is completed.
Our credit facility remains subject to a covenant breach and forbearance agreement, and if the Asset Sale is not completed or we fail to maintain compliance with the forbearance agreement, our lenders could accelerate our indebtedness.
We were not in compliance with the minimum annualized recurring revenue covenant under our secured credit facility as of April 30, 2026, which gives our lenders the right to accelerate approximately $137.2 million of outstanding principal and fees. Our lenders have not waived this default but have agreed to a forbearance, pursuant to which they have agreed to refrain from exercising remedies, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including entry into a definitive agreement with respect to a strategic transaction and completion of that transaction within specified timeframes. If the Asset Sale is not completed on the anticipated timeline, if the forbearance agreement terminates or expires without replacement or extension, or if we otherwise fail to satisfy the conditions of the forbearance agreement, our lenders could declare all outstanding obligations under the credit facility immediately due and payable, which would have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition, and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our recently adopted Tax Benefits Preservation Plan is intended to protect our NOLs but may not prevent an ownership change, and it has anti-takeover effects that could adversely affect holders of our common stock.
On July 22, 2026, in light of the significance of our NOLs and other tax attributes following the Asset Sale, our board of directors adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (Preservation Plan) with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent, and declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock held of record as of the close of business on August 4, 2026. This protects against a possible limitation on the Company’s ability to use its NOLs and certain other tax attributes to reduce potential future U.S. federal income tax obligations. The NOLs and certain other tax attributes are valuable assets to us, which may inure to the benefit of us and our stockholders. However, if we experience an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Code, our ability to fully utilize the NOLs and certain other tax attributes will be substantially limited and the timing of the usage of the NOLs and other tax attributes could be substantially delayed, which could significantly impair the value of those assets. Generally, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of our stock owned by one or more of our “5-percent shareholders” (as such term is defined in Section 382 of the Code) increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such stockholder or stockholders at any time over a three-year period. The Preservation Plan is intended to prevent such an “ownership change” by deterring any person or group, together with its affiliates and associates, from acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.9% (Specified Percentage) or more of our securities. The Preservation Plan is not expected to interfere with the Asset Sale or any other merger or business combination approved by our board of directors. There can be no assurance that the Tax Benefits Preservation Plan will prevent an “ownership change” within the meaning of Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, in which case we may lose all or most of the anticipated tax benefits associated with our prior losses.
We incurred net losses of $18.1$41.0 million and $14.2$23.8 million for the threesix months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $1,561.1$1,570.7 million at AprilJuly 30,31, 2026. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and we expect costs to increase in future periods as we expend substantial financial and other resources on, among other things:
We have been growing and expect to continue to invest in our growth for the foreseeable future. If we fail to manage this growth effectively, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.
We intend to continue to grow our business. If we cannot adequately train new employees, including our direct sales force, or if new employees are not as productive as quickly as we would like, sales may decrease or customers may lose confidence in the knowledge and capability of our employees. In addition, we may make direct investments in our international business, and increase the number of employees outside the United States. We must successfully manage growth to achieve our objectives. Although our business has experienced significant growth in the past, we cannot provide any assurance that our business will continue to grow at any particular rate, or at all.
Our business and operations may consume resources faster than we anticipate. We have incurred cumulative and recurring losses from operations since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $1,561.1$1,570.7 million as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026. We have also experienced negative or close to breakeven cash flows from operating activities, including cash provided by operating activities of $4.0$7.3 million and $5.2cash used in operating activities of $1.2 million for the threesix months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, we had $39.1$25.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, which were held for working capital purposes. Additionally, no amounts were available to draw under our credit facility. Our need to raise additional capital or complete a potential transaction is heightened by our noncompliance with a financial covenant under our credit facility as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 and the resulting substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as described above.
A strategic transaction, whether or not consummated, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2026, we announced that our board of directors initiated a formal process to explore strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The Company is in advanced negotiations regarding a potential transaction. While substantial progress has been made, no definitive agreement has been executed and there can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions. If negotiations continue to progress successfully, the Company anticipates that a potential transaction could be announced in the near term. The pursuit of such strategic transactions could involve risks to our operations and financial results, whether or not such transaction is ultimately consummated. Such risks could include:
•Significant transaction costs, which may or may not be recovered in the future and which may be incurred even if such strategic transaction fails to close or is otherwise unsuccessful;
We were not in compliance with a financial covenant under our secured credit facility as of April 30, 2026 and July 31, 2026, which gives our lenders the right to accelerate our indebtedness, and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern; although our lenders have not waived the underlying default, they have agreed to a forbearance subject to certain contingencies.
As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, we were not in compliance with the minimum annualized recurring revenue covenant under our credit facility, which is secured by substantially all of our assets. This noncompliance gives our lenders the right to accelerate repayment of the $136.6$138.3 million of principal and related fees, and we have classified the related term loan and fees as current liabilities as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026. Our cash and cash equivalents of $39.1$25.1 million as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 would not be sufficient to repay the term loan upon any such acceleration. As a result, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our plans to address these conditions do not alleviate that doubt.
Our lenders have not waived the noncompliance, but have entered into a forbearance agreement with us under which they agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies with respect to the noncompliance and certain other specified and anticipated defaults for a limited period that is subject to certain conditions, including our entry into a definitive purchase agreement by July 31, 2026 and the completion of a potential transaction no later than November 30, 2026. We satisfied the July 31, 2026 milestone by entering into the Purchase Agreement with Progress on July 22, 2026, as described above under “—We have entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of our assets, and the failure to complete this transaction, or delays in its completion, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition”; however, the forbearance remains conditioned on our completing the Asset Sale by November 30, 2026, and there can be no assurance that we will do so. The forbearance does not waive the underlying default and does not change the classification of the term loan, which remains a current liability, and upon its expiration the lenders may exercise their rights and remedies, including acceleration. See Note 11,12, "Debt" to our condensed consolidated financial statements, for further details.
We do not collect sales and use, value addedvalue-added and similar taxes in all jurisdictions in which we have sales, based on our belief that such taxes are not applicable in certain jurisdictions. State, local and foreign jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing sales, use, value addedvalue-added and other taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. In particular, the applicability of such taxes on subscriptions to our platform in various jurisdictions is unclear. Further, rules regarding tax nexus are complex and vary significantly across state, local and foreign jurisdictions. As a result, we could face the possibility of audits that could result in tax assessments, including associated interest and penalties. A successful assertion that we should be collecting additional sales, use, value addedvalue-added or other taxes in those jurisdictions where we have not historically done so could result in substantial tax liabilities and related penalties for past transactions, discourage customers from purchasing our application or otherwise harm our business and operating results. In addition, we are required to withhold and timely remit payroll-related taxes for which we are also subject to the possibility of audits that could result in tax assessments, including associated interest and penalties.
In addition, taxation of cloud-based software is constantly evolving as many state and local jurisdictions consider the taxability of software services provided remotely. For example, California has recently amended its tax laws to subject certain retail sales of digital prewritten software, cloud-based applications, and software services to sales tax in California, effective January 1, 2027. These events could require us or our customers to pay additional tax amounts on a prospective or retroactive basis, as well as require us or our customers to pay fines or penalties and interest for past amounts deemed to be due. If we raise our prices to offset the costs of these changes, existing and potential future customers may elect not to continue to use or purchase subscriptions to our platform in the future. Additionally, new, modified or newly interpreted or applied tax laws could increase our customers’ and our compliance, operating and other costs, as well as the costs of our platform. Any or all of these events could harm our business and operating results.
In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,amended (the Code), a corporation that undergoes an "“ownership change"” (as defined under Section 382 of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations) is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-ownership change NOLs to offset its future taxable income. An ownership change under Section 382 of the Code could affect our ability to utilize the NOLs to offset our income. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. We have historically contracted third parties to perform a Section 382 analysis to evaluate limitations on our NOLs due to ownership changes, with the most recent analysis being through JanuaryJune 31,30, 2026. There is also a risk that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs or other unforeseen reasons, our existing NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities for federal and state tax purposes. Limitations may also apply under state law. For example, recently enacted California legislation limits the use of state NOL carryforwards for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and before January 1, 2027. As a result of this legislation or other unforeseen reasons, we may not be able to utilize some or all of our NOL carryforwards, even if we attain profitability.
To increase our revenue, we must add new customers. Demand for our platform is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as continued market acceptance of our platform for existing and new use cases, the timing of development and release of new applications and features, technological change, growth or contraction in our addressable market, and accessibility across mobile devices, operating systems, and applications, and macroeconomic changes, including the impact of public health epidemics or pandemicspandemics, on the demand for technology solutions like ours. In addition, if competitors introduce lower cost or differentiated products or services that are perceived to compete with our features, our ability to sell our features based on factors such as pricing, technology and functionality could be impaired. As a result, we may be unable to attract new customers at rates or on terms that would be favorable or comparable to prior periods, which could negatively affect the growth of our revenue.
Further, we may make changes to our platform that customers do not find useful. We may also discontinue certain features, begin to charge for certain features that are currently free or increase fees for any features or usage of our platform. We may also face unexpected problems or challenges in connection with new applications or feature introductions. Enhancements and changes to our platform could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including:
We may also face unexpected problems or challenges in connection with new applications or feature introductions. Enhancements and changes to our platform could fail to attain sufficient market acceptance for many reasons, including:
The success of our platform is dependent in large part on our customers’ ability to access data maintained on third-partythird party software and service platforms. Generally, we do not have agreements in place with these third parties that guarantee access to their platforms, and any agreements that we do have in place with these third parties are typically terminable for convenience by the third party. If these third parties restrict or prevent our ability to integrate our platform with their software or platform, including but not limited to, by limiting the functionality of our data connectors, our ability to access the data maintained on their systems or the speed at which such data is delivered, customers’ ability to access their relevant data in a timely manner may be limited, and our business and operating results may be adversely affected.
Our platform uses “open source” software that we, in some cases, have obtained from third parties. Open source software is generally freely accessible, usable and modifiable, and is made available to the general public on an “as-is” basis under the terms of a non-negotiable license. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software. Open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or other claims relating to violation of intellectual property rights or the quality of the software. In addition, certain open source licenses, like the GNU Affero General Public LicenseLicense, may require us to offer for no cost the components of our platform that incorporate the open source software, to make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create by incorporating or using the open source software, or to license our modifications or derivative works under the terms of the particular open source license. If we are required, under the terms of an open source license, to release our proprietary source code to the public, competitors could create similar products with lower development effort and time, which ultimately could result in a loss of sales for us.
Historically, we have generated a substantial majority of our revenue from customers inside the United States. For example, approximately 80%,80% and 79% of our total revenue for the threesix months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, was derived from sales within the United States. We continue to expand internationally and plan to continue to expand our international operations as part of our growth strategy. Expanding our international operations will subject us to a variety of risks and challenges, including:
• the need to make significant investments in people, solutions and infrastructure, typically well in advance of revenue generation;
• the need to localize and adapt our application for specific countries, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;
• potential changes in public or customer sentiment regarding cloud-based services or the ability of non-local enterprises to provide adequate data protection, particularly in the European Union (the E.U.);
• technical or latency issues in delivering our platform;
• dependence on certain third parties, including resellers with whom we do not have extensive experience;
• the lack of reference customers and other marketing assets in regional markets that are new or developing for us, as well as other adaptations in our market generation efforts that we may be slow to identify and implement;
• unexpected changes in regulatory requirements or taxes;
• actual or anticipated changes in international trade policies, including those resulting from tariffs, trade barriers and other trade regulations, as well as the actual or anticipated effect of such policies on us and our customers;
• differing labor regulations, especially in the E.U., where labor laws are generally more advantageous to employees as compared to the United States, including deemed hourly wage and overtime regulations in these locations;
• challenges inherent in efficiently managing an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, benefits and compliance programs;
• difficulties in maintaining our company culture with a dispersed and distant workforce;
• difficulties in managing a business in new markets with diverse cultures, languages, customs, legal systems, alternative dispute systems and regulatory systems;
• currency exchange rate fluctuations and the resulting effect on our revenue and expenses, and the cost and risk of entering into hedging transactions if we choose to do so in the future;
• limitations on our ability to reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund the capital needs of our operations in other countries;
• limited or insufficient intellectual property protection, or the risk that our products may conflict with, infringe or otherwise violate foreign intellectual property;
• political instability, terrorist activities or military conflicts (including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and hostilities in the Middle East);
• requirements to comply with foreign privacy, cybersecurity, and data protection laws and regulations and the risks and costs of noncompliance;
• likelihood of potential or actual violations of domestic and international anticorruption laws, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the FCPA), and the U.K. Bribery Act, or of U.S. and international export control and sanctions regulations, which likelihood may increase with an increase of sales or operations in foreign jurisdictions and operations in certain industries;
• requirements to comply with U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations and other restrictions on international trade;
• likelihood that the United States and other governments and their agencies impose sanctions and embargoes on certain countries, their governments and designated parties, which may prohibit the export of certain technology, products, and services to such persons;
• adverse tax burdens and foreign exchange controls that could make it difficult to repatriate earnings and cash should we desire to do so; and
• our ability to recruit and engage local channel and implementation partners.
In the United States, various laws and regulations apply to the collection, disclosure, and other processing of certain types of data, including with respect to security measures used to protect such data. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws as imposing standards for the collection, use, dissemination, security, and other processing of data. The laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity are evolving, can be subject to significant change, and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. For example, California in 2018 enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which went into effect on January 1, 2020. The CCPA requires covered companies to, among other things, provide disclosures to California consumers and afford such consumers new abilities to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. Additionally, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) was approved by California voters in November 2020 and became effective January 1, 2023. The CPRA amended and expanded the CCPA in numerous respects, including by expanding the CCPA’s private right of action. Following enactment of the CCPA, many other states have adopted or considered privacy legislation, many of which are comprehensive laws similar to the CCPA and CPRA. For example, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and Connecticut have adopted such legislation that became effective in 2023, Texas, Montana, Oregon, and Florida have adopted such legislation that became effective in 2024, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Tennessee have adopted such legislation that became effective in 2025, Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island have adopted such legislation that has become effective in 2026, and Alabama and Oklahoma have adopted such legislation that becomes effective in 2027.2027; and Vermont has adopted such legislation that becomes effective in 2028. Broad federal privacy legislation has also been proposed. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a rule entitled the Preventing Access to U.S. Sensitive Personal Data and Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern or Covered Persons, which places restrictions on data transactions involving sensitive personal data and certain “Countries of Concern” and “Covered Persons” (i.e., individuals and entities located in or controlled by individuals or entities located in those jurisdictions). Additionally, states have adopted other laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity, such as Washington’s My Health, My Data Act, which includes a private right of action. These and other new and evolving laws and regulations relating to privacy in the U.S. could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business. Aspects of these laws and regulations and their interpretation and enforcement remain uncertain. We cannot fully predict the impact of these or other new and evolving laws and regulations relating to privacy and cybersecurity on our business or operations, but they may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply.
We implement bug fixes and upgrades as part of our regular system maintenance, which may lead to system downtime. Even if we are able to implement the bug fixes and upgrades in a timely manner, any history of inaccuracies in the data we process for our customers, or the loss, damage, unauthorized access to or acquisition of, or inadvertent release or exposure of customer data could cause our reputation to be harmed and result in claims against us, and customers may elect not to purchase or renew their agreements with us or we may incur increased insurance costs. The costs associated with any material defects or errors in our software or other performance problems may be substantial and could harm our operating results.results
Our Class A common stock has 40 votes per share, and our Class B common stock has one vote per share. Joshua G. James, our founder and chief executive officer, beneficially owns all of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock through Cocolalla, LLC, of which he is the managing member, and as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, beneficially controlled approximately 76% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock and therefore is able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. Mr. James may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class B common stock.

Further, we have been advised that Mr. James has pledged the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by him to secure a loan with a financial institution, which loan has or will have various requirements to repay all or a portion of the loan upon the occurrence of various events, including when the price of the Class B common stock goes below certain specified levels.

Although Mr. James has indicated his intention to sell other assets if necessary, shares of our common stock may need to be sold or otherwise transferred to meet these repayment requirements. Upon a default under such loan, the lenders could sell the pledged shares into the market. Sales or transfers of such shares to reduce the loan balance or by the lenders upon foreclosure are likely to adversely affect our stock price. Mr. James has also indicated to us that he may in the future from time to time refinance such indebtedness, enter into derivative transactions based on the value of our Class B common stock, dispose of shares of common stock, otherwise monetize shares of his common stock and/or engage in other transactions relating to shares of our common stock and/or other securities of the company. Any of these activities may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Mr. James has also indicated that he intends to (1) continue to beneficially own a majority of the Class A common stock that he currently beneficially owns and (2) continue to control at least a majority of the voting power of our company.

Prevailing macroeconomic conditions have elongated the software sales cycle, increased deal scrutiny and made renewal discussions more challenging. These conditions may continue to impact our business and those of our customers in a manner that we may not be able to quantify or isolate from other drivers of our performance, and may negatively impact our revenue growth in the near term. Ongoing concerns about the health of the U.S. and global economies may cause certain of our current and potential customers to reduce or delay technology spending or seek payment or other concessions from us. These conditions, along with the ongoing uncertainty in the SaaS sector, may materially and negatively impact our operating results, financial condition and prospects.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient liquidity, the lenders could accelerate our indebtedness and foreclose on our assets, and our business, financial condition and ability to continue operations would be materially and adversely affected.

We primarily offer our platform, which customers can adopt in whole or in part, as a consumption-based service, which includes consumption-based agreements and enterprise-wide agreements (ELAs) with unlimited users and a data cap. Customers with consumption-based agreements have an annual purchase commitment based on estimated usage, utilizing a tiered pricing structure, which is paid upfront. Historically, we also offered subscription-based agreements, under which subscription fees are based upon the chosen Domo package which includes tier-based platform capabilities or usage. As of the end of our most recent fiscal quarter, 89%91% of our annual recurring revenue (ARR) was utilizing the platform as a consumption-based service, and we expect this percentage to increase in future periods.service.
As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, 76%77% of our customers were under multi-year contracts on a dollar-weighted basis, consistentcompared withto 76% of customers as of January 31, 2026. The high percentage revenue from multi-year contracts, among both new and existing customers, has enhanced the predictability of our subscription revenue, which includes both subscription-based and consumption-based agreements. We typically invoice our customers annually in advance for subscriptions to our platform.
Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represents the remaining amount of revenue we expect to recognize from existing non-cancelable contracts, whether billed or unbilled. As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, total RPO was $427.5$430.9 million and $437.3$410.8 million, respectively. The amount of RPO expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months was $241.0$236.4 million and $239.6$231.5 million as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.
We had total revenue of $80.1$79.7 million and $79.4$76.8 million for the three months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. For the threesix months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, we had total revenue of $159.8 million and $156.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2026, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue, nor did any single organization when accounting for multiple subsidiaries or divisions which may have been invoiced separately. Revenue from customers with billing addresses in the United States comprised 80% and 79% ofor our total revenue for the three months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.
We have incurred significant net losses since our inception, including net losses of $18.1$22.9 million and $14.2$9.6 million for the three months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $1,561.1$1,570.7 million at AprilJuly 30,31, 2026. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, we had over 2,4002,300 customers. Enterprise customers accounted for 45% and 44% of our revenue for both the three and six months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively.2026. To drive growth among both our enterprise and corporate customers, we intend to further develop our partner ecosystem by establishing agreements with more software resellers, systems integrators and other partners to provide broader customer and geographic coverage. We believe we are underpenetrated in the overall market and have significant opportunity to expand our customer base over time.
An important metric that we use to evaluate our performance in retaining customers is gross retention rate. We calculate our gross retention rate by taking the dollar amount of annual contract value (ACV) that renews in a given period divided by the ACV that was up for renewal in that same period. The ACV of multi-year contracts is also considered in the calculation based on the period in which the annual anniversary of the contract falls. Our trailing twelve month gross retention rate was 85% and 86% as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. Our gross retention has been affected in part due to macroeconomic conditions and challenging renewals from customers with COVID-19 use cases of our platform. As we continue to expand our partner ecosystem and develop methods to encourage wider and more strategic adoptions, we expect that customer retention will increase over the long term.
Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenue was 50%44% for the three months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 compared to 47%38% for the three months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026.
We plan to continue to make investments in areas of our business to continue to expand our platform functionality. This may include investing in machine learning algorithms, predictive analytics, and other artificial intelligence technologies to create alerts, detect anomalies, optimize queries, and suggest areas of interest to help people focus on what matters most. These investments may also include extending the functionality and effectiveness of our platform through improvements to the Domo Appstore and developer toolkits, which enable customers and partners to quickly build and deploy custom data applications. The amount of new investments as a percentage of revenue required to achieve our plans is expected to increase slightly in the near term then remain consistent in the long term.
Research and development expense as a percentage of total revenue was 25%24% for the three months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2025 compared to 23% for the three months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026.

The increase in professional services and other cost of revenue was primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in employee-related costs.
Subscription gross margin increased primarily due to a decrease in costs related to third-party web hosting services.
Services gross margin declined primarily due to the delivery of certain other high-margin contracts recognized in the prior year quarter and an increase in outsourced services during the three months ended July 31, 2026.
Subscription gross margin decreased slightly primarily due to a decrease in subscription revenue. As we continue to shift more of our customer base to consumption-based pricing, we expect subscription gross margin to remain relatively stable in the near term and increase in the long term.
Services gross margin increased primarily due to a favorable mix of higher margin projects delivered during the current period and a decrease in outsourced services. We expect the gross margin for professional services to fluctuate from period to period due to changes in the proportion of services provided by third-party consultants, seasonality, and timing of projects with differing margins.
The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $5.2 million decrease in commission expense, partially offset by a $3.5 million increase in employee-related costs. These offsets are partially driven by certain fiscal 2026 commissions paid out the form of fully vested restricted stock units (RSUs) instead of cash. Sales and marketing expense as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 50% in the three months ended April 30, 2025 to 47% in the three months ended April 30, 2026. We expect sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue to be relatively stable in the near term and decrease in the long term.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in professional and legal fees, primarily driven by a $5.0 million increase in transaction-related costs. This was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in travel-related costs, a $0.2 million decrease in employee related costs, a $0.2 decrease in contract labor, and other minor decreases. Our general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue from 16% to 19%.
General and administrative expenses decreased due in part to an $0.4 million decrease in travel expense and a $0.3 million decrease in income tax expense. General and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue changed from 17% in the three months ended April 30, 2025 to 18% in the three months ended April 30, 2026.

Income taxes increaseddecreased primarily due to higherlower taxable income from our international subsidiaries during the three months ended AprilJuly 30,31, 2026.
Discussion of the Six Months Ended July 31, 2025 and 2026
Revenue
The decrease in subscription revenue was primarily due to a $12.5 million net decrease from existing customers, partially offset by a $8.5 million increase from new customers. Our total customer count decreased from July 31, 2025 to July 31, 2026. For the purposes of this comparison, new customers are defined as those added since the end of the prior year quarter, and revenue from existing customers is presented net of churn. The decrease in professional services and other revenue was primarily due to the delivery of certain other contracts recognized in the prior year quarter.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
The decrease in cost of subscription revenue was primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in expense related to third-party web hosting services, partially as a result of a one-time credit received during the period.
Cost of professional services and other revenue decreased primarily due to an increase in employee-related costs, partially offset by a decrease in outsourced services.
Subscription gross margin improved primarily due to a decrease in third-party web hosting costs. Professional services and other gross margin declined slightly primarily due to a lower amount of revenue recognized from the delivery of custom apps and an increase in outsourced services during the six months ended July 31, 2026.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreased primarily due to a $4.9 million decrease in commission expense, partially driven by certain commissions paid out in the form of fully vested restricted stock units (RSUs) during the current period and also due in part to lower commissions. The decrease in commission expense is partially offset within employee-related costs where the expense for those fully-vested RSUs are included in stock-based compensation; however, employee-related costs had a net increase of $0.6 million due to other decreases in stock-based compensation. Marketing expense decreased by $3.7 million, driven by lower demand generation.
Research and development expenses decreased primarily due to a $4.1 million decrease in employee-related costs, driven by lower stock-based compensation. This was partially offset by a $1.5 million increase to software costs and a $1.5 million decrease in capitalized software (increases expense). During the period, a $0.9 million benefit was recognized related to an insurance recovery (decreases expense).
General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to a $4.3 million increase in professional and legal fees, driven by $5.0 million of transaction-related costs. This was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in travel costs and various other minor decreases.
Total Other Expense, Net
Remeasurement of warrant liability increased due to a revaluation of warrant liability, which resulted in a $11.1 million net change during the six months ended July 31, 2026.
Other expense, net increased primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in interest expense related to the increased amortization from the Forbearance Fee and accelerated amortization period arising from the debt modification.
Income taxes increased primarily due to higher taxable income from our international subsidiaries during the six months ended July 31, 2026.
As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, we had $39.1$25.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, which were held for working capital purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and money market funds. We have a $125.3 million credit facility, all of which had been drawn as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026.
As of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026, we were not in compliance with the minimum annualized recurring revenue covenant under our credit facility. As a result, the lenders have the right to accelerate repayment of the $136.6$138.3 million of principal and related fees, and we have classified the related term loan and fees as a current liability as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026. Our cash and cash equivalents of $39.1$25.1 million as of AprilJuly 30,31, 2026 would not be sufficient to repay the term loan upon any such acceleration. As a result, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.
