“Notifications and follow-up actions related to a data security incident could impact our reputation and cause us to incur significant costs, including significant legal expenses and remediation costs. We expect to incur significant costs in an effort to detect and prevent security incidents, and we may face increased costs and requirements to expend substantial resources in the event of an actual or perceived security incident. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to detect or prevent any such incidents, or that we can remediate any such incidents in an effective or timely manner. …”see in full comparison
“Moreover, in the event of a cybersecurity incident, we may face investigations, legal actions, including class action litigation, regulatory inquiries, and regulatory enforcement actions.

see in full comparisonAny failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or contractual obligations may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are subject to an investigation or litigation or suffer a breach of security of personal data, we may incur costs or be subject to forfeitures and penalties that could reduce our profitability. In addition, compliance with these laws may restrict our ability to provide services to our customers that they may find to be valuable. For example, theThe General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) became effective in May2018.2018 in the EU, and a separate but substantially similar data protection regime applies in the United Kingdom. TheGDPR,GDPRwhichandappliesUK GDPR apply to personal data collected in the context of all of our activities conducted from an establishment in the EuropeanUnion,Union and United Kingdom, related to products and services offered to individuals in the European Union and United Kingdom or related to the monitoring of individuals’ behavior inEurope,Europe or the United Kingdom, imposes a range of significant compliance obligations regarding the handling of personal data. These obligations include requirements relating to lawful bases for processing, transparency, data subject rights, data security, breach notification, cross-border data transfers and accountability. Actions required to comply with these obligations depend in part on how particular and strict regulators interpret and applythem.them and continue to evolve through regulatory guidance and judicial decisions. If we fail to comply with the GDPR, or if regulators assert we have failed to comply with the GDPR, we may be subject to, for example, regulatory enforcementactions,actions that can result in monetary penalties of up to 4% of our annual worldwide revenue or EUR 20 million (whichever is higher), orders restricting or prohibiting data processing, private lawsuits, class actions, regulatory orders to stop processing and delete data, and reputational damage. In June 2021, the European Commission published new versions of the Standard Contractual Clauses, which are used as a legal cross-border mechanism allowing companies to transfer/allow access to personal data outside the European Economic Area. Use of the previous versions of the Standard Contractual Clauses is no longerallowed and all contracts that include the earlier versions should have been amended to replace them with the new versions by December 27, 2022.allowed. Also in June 2021, the European Data Protection Board finalized its recommendations regarding supplemental transfer measures to protect personal data during cross-border transfers. We must incur costs and expenses to comply withthe newthese requirements, which may impact the cross-border transfer of personal data throughout our organization and to/from third parties. In some circumstances, data localization requirements or restrictions on cross-border data transfers in certain jurisdictions may further limit our ability to transfer personal data or require changes to our technical, contractual or business practices.

We sell our applications primarily through a direct sales organization comprised of inside sales and field sales personnel. In addition, we have an indirect sales organization that sells through alliances with strategic partners that can leverage our applications with their complementary services and technologies. Growing sales to both new and existing customers is, in part, dependent on our ability to maintain, expand and enhance our sales force. Identifying, recruiting and training additional sales personnel requires significant time, expense, and attention. It can take several quarters or longer before our sales representatives are fully-trainedfully trained and productive. Our business may be adversely affected if our efforts to expand and train our sales organization do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue. In particular, if we are unable to hire, develop, and retain sales personnel, or if our new sales personnel are unable to achieve expected sales productivity levels in a reasonable period of time or at all, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected or decline and our business may be harmed.
As our operations have expanded, we have established andWe currently maintain offices in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Malaysia, Netherlands, Romania and the United Kingdom. For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we generated approximately 29%28% of our total revenue from customers outside of the United States.U.S. As a result, we are subject to a number of risks, including:
•international and regional economic, political and labor conditions, including any instability or security concerns abroad, such as uncertainty caused by economic sanctions, trade disputes, armed conflicts and wars,geopolitical including the Russia-Ukraine and Israeli-Hamas warsuncertainty;
•changes to tax laws (including U.S. taxes on foreign subsidiaries);
Previously, our growth strategy was focused on the acquisition of complementary businesses to grow our company. For example, we have completed 31 acquisitions since February 2012. We intend to continue to review acquisitions of complementary technologies, products, and businesses to enhance the features and functionality of our applications, expand our customer base, provide access to new markets, and increase benefits of scale, while focusing on our organic growth strategy. Acquisitions involve certain known and unknown risks that could cause our actual growth or operating results to differ from our expectations. Generally, our acquisition activity presents three areas of risk to our business, risks related to: identifying the correct candidates for acquisition, completing the acquisition of identified targets, and integrating acquired companies following closing of the acquisition.
Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as: our ability to assess accurately the value, strengths, weaknesses, internal controls, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates; difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, our potential inability to achieve identified financial, operating and other synergies anticipated to result from an acquisition, and integration issues associated with internal controls of acquired businesses; the diversion of management’s attention from our existing businesses; the potential impairment of assets; potential unknown liabilities associated with a business that we acquire or in which we invest, including environmental liabilities; and production delays associated with consolidating acquired facilities and manufacturing operations. Any past or future acquisition could also result in such risks. Due diligence performed prior to closing acquisitions may not uncover certain risks or liabilities that could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, any acquisition strategy may divert management’s attention away from our existing business, resulting in the loss of key customers or employees, and expose us to unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, including responsibility as a successor for undisclosed or contingent liabilities of acquired businesses or assets.
We currently incorporate AI capabilities into certain of our offerings, and our research into and continued development ofof, such capabilities remain ongoing. As with many innovations, AI presents risks, challenges, and potential unintended consequences that could affect its adoption, and therefore our business. Many generative AI solutions and implementations rely on third-parties, where ineffective or inadequate AI development or deployment practices by us or others could result in incidents that impair the acceptance of AI solutions or cause harm to our customers, individuals or society. These deficiencies and other failures of AI systems could subject us to competitive harm, regulatory action, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. If we enable or offer AI solutions that result in (i) potential bias or inaccuracy, or (ii) a negative impact on human rights, privacy, employment, or other social, economic, or political issues, we may experience competitive, brand, or reputational harm or legal and/or regulatory action.
Our reputation and ability to attract, retain, and serve our customer is dependent upon the reliable performance of our computer systems and those of third parties that we utilize in our operations. These systems may be subject to damage or interruption from earthquakes, adverse weather conditions, other natural disasters, terrorist attacks, power loss, telecommunications failures, vendor limitations, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks, or other attempts to harm these systems. Supply chain disruptions stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict or theglobal conflicts in the Middle East may harm our customers and suppliers and further complicate existing supply chain constraints. Interruptions in these systems, or with the internetInternet in general, could make our service unavailable or degraded or otherwise hinder our ability to deliver application data to our customers. Service interruptions, errors in our software, or the unavailability of computer systems used in our operations could diminish the overall attractiveness of our applications to existing and potential customers.
The overall market for software is rapidly evolving and subject to changing technology, shifting customer needs, and frequent introductions of new applications, including without limitationlimitation, AI in its multiple forms. Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers will depend, in large part, on our ability to develop or acquire new applications and enhance and improve existing applications. To achieve market acceptance for our applications, we must effectively anticipate and offer applications that meet changing customer demands in a timely manner. Customers may require features and capabilities not offered by our current applications. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent our development, acquisition, or implementation of new applications and enhancements.
If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire new software capabilities and functionality, enhance our existing applications to anticipate and meet customer preferences, sell our applications into new markets, or adapt to changing industry standards in software, our revenue and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Our use of open sourceopen-source software could negatively affect the performance of our applications and our ability to sell our applications and subject us to possible litigation.
A portion of our applications incorporate open sourceopen-source software, and we expect to continue to incorporate open sourceopen-source software in the future. Few of the licenses applicable to open sourceopen-source software have been interpreted by courts, and their application to the open sourceopen-source software integrated into our proprietary software may be uncertain. Moreover, we cannot provide any assurance that we have not incorporated additional open sourceopen-source software in our applications in a manner that is inconsistent with the terms of the license or our current policies and procedures. If we fail to comply with these licenses, we may be subject to certain requirements, including requirements that we offer our applications that incorporate the open sourceopen-source software for no cost, that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon, incorporating or using the open sourceopen-source software, and that we license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of applicable open sourceopen-source licenses. If an author or other third party that distributes such open sourceopen-source software were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, we could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages, enjoined from the sale of our applications that contained the open sourceopen-source software, and required to comply with the foregoing conditions, which could disrupt the distribution and sale of some of our applications. In addition, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open sourceopen-source software against companies that incorporate open sourceopen-source software into their products. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming infringement due to the reliance by our applications on certain open sourceopen-source software. Litigation could be costly for us to defend, have a negative effect on our operating results and financial condition, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our applications.
We have historically experienced seasonality in terms of when we enter into customer agreements. WeTypically we sign a significantly higherhigh percentage of agreements with new customers, and renew agreements with existing customers, in the fourth quarter of each calendar year as our customers tend to follow budgeting cycles at the end of the calendar year. Our cash flow from operations has historically been higher in the first quarter of each calendar year than in other quarters. This seasonality is reflected to a much lesser extent, and sometimes is not immediately apparent, in our revenue, due to the fact that we defer revenue recognition. In addition, seasonality may be difficult to observe in our financial results during periods in which we acquire businesses,or asdivest suchof results typically are most significantly impacted by such acquisitions.businesses. We expect this seasonality to continue, or possibly increase in the future, which may cause fluctuations in our operating results and financial metrics. If our quarterly operating results or outlook fall below the expectations of research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decline substantially.
In the past several years, we have divested of or sunset multiple product lines, and we intend to continue to assess the need to divest of or sunset other assets.
Previously, our growth strategy was focused on the acquisition of complementary businesses to grow our company. For example, we completed 31 acquisitions between February 2012 and February 2022. We intend to continue to review acquisitions of complementary technologies, products, and businesses to enhance the features and functionality of our applications, expand our customer base, provide access to new markets, and increase benefits of scale, while focusing on our organic growth strategy. Acquisitions involve certain known and unknown risks that could cause our actual growth or operating results to differ from our expectations. Generally, our acquisition activity presents three areas of risk to our business, risks related to: identifying the correct candidates for acquisition, completing the acquisition of identified targets, and integrating acquired companies following closing of the acquisition.
Acquisitions involve various inherent risks, such as: our ability to assess accurately the value, strengths, weaknesses, internal controls, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition candidates; difficulties in integrating acquired businesses, our potential inability to achieve identified financial, operating and other synergies anticipated to result from an acquisition, and integration issues associated with internal controls of acquired businesses; the diversion of management’s attention from our existing businesses; the potential impairment of assets; potential unknown liabilities associated with a business that we acquire or in which we invest, including environmental liabilities; and production delays associated with consolidating acquired facilities and manufacturing operations. Any past or future acquisition could also result in such risks. Due diligence performed prior to closing acquisitions may not uncover certain risks or liabilities that could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any acquisition strategy may divert management’s attention away from our existing business, resulting in the loss of key customers or employees, and expose us to unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, including responsibility as a successor for undisclosed or contingent liabilities of acquired businesses or assets.
If our competitors’ products, service,services, or technologies become more accepted than our software applications, if they are successful in bringing their products or services to market earlier than ours, or if their products or services are more technologically capable than ours, our revenues could be adversely affected.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Accordingly, the results of any one quarter may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Because our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, period-to-period comparisons may not be the best indication of the underlying results of our business and should only be relied upon as one factor in determining how our business is performing. This variability and unpredictability could also result in our failure to meet the expectations of research analysts or investors for any period. If our quarterly operating results or outlook fall below the expectations of research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decline substantially.
We may need financing in the future, and any additional financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders. We may seek to renegotiate or refinance our loan facility, and we may be unable to do so on acceptable terms or at all.
Our loan facility matures in August 2026. We expect to renegotiate or refinance our loan facility, and we may be unable to do so on acceptable terms or at all and any additional financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders.
We expect to need to renegotiate the terms of our loan facility as our Credit Facility will terminate on August 6, 2026, and our lender may be unwilling to do so, or may agree to such changes subject to additional restrictive covenants on our operations and ability to raise capital. We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity financings, cash from operations, and cash available under our loan facility. We may need to raise funds in the future, for example, to expand our business, acquire complementary businesses, develop new technologies, respond to competitive pressures, or react to unanticipated situations. We may try to raise additional funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships, or other arrangements. Our ability to obtain debt or equity funding will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance, and investor interest. In addition, under the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have certain approval rights over additional financings. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to reduce expenditures, including curtailing our growth strategies, reducing our product-development efforts, or foregoing acquisitions. If we succeed in raising additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, it could result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these new securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. In addition, any debt financing obtained by us in the future or issuance of preferred stock could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. For example, our Series A Preferred Stock contains a number of restrictive covenants. See "—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock.”
WeAt haveDecember floating-to-fixed31, 2025, we had an interest rate swapcap agreementsin place in order to reduce interest rate volatility in connection with $255.8$120.0 million of the outstanding term debt on our Credit Facility, but $37.9$118.5 million of our outstanding term debt is not currently subject to any interest rate instruments.
Our obligations under our Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets and assets of the co-borrowers’ and of any guarantors, including intellectual property. The terms of the Credit Facility limit, among other things, our ability to:

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting in the past and if we have a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis, and our financial statements may be materially misstated. For example, in 2024 we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to a management review control over prospective financial information used in the Company’s goodwill impairment assessment.
Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reporting and prevent fraud. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an unqualified opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting,effective investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected and we could become subject to litigation or regulatory investigations. If we do not successfully remediate any material weakness, or if other material weaknesses or other deficiencies arise in the future, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results, specifically potential goodwill impairments,results which could cause our financial results to be materially misstated. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports, which could adversely affect investor confidence in us, our business, results of operations and financial condition, the trading price of our common stock, and our ability to remain listed on Nasdaq.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, the Company had total net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $244.5$216.7 million consisting of $200.6$195.4 million and $43.9$21.3 million related to the U.S. federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. $138.8$136.5 million of the U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards are related to yearyears prior to 2018 and begin to expire in 2025.2026. The remaining $61.9$58.9 million carryforward without expiration in accordance with provisions of the Tax Act (as described below in the risk factor titled "Tax laws, regulations, and compliance practices are evolving and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position."). $43.9$21.3 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards carry forward indefinitely, and the remainder, if any, will expire beginning in 2041.indefinitely. In addition, as of December 31, 2024,2025, the Company had research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $4.1$4.2 million. The U.S. federal net operating loss and credit carryforwards will expire beginning in 2025,2026, if not utilized.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require us to assess goodwill for impairment at least annually. In addition, we assess our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Depending on the results of our review, we could be required to record a significant charge to earnings in our consolidated financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets wereis determined,identified, negatively impacting our results of operations. As a result of the decline of our stock price impacting our market capitalization during the quarters ended March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we performed quantitative impairment evaluations, which resulted in goodwill impairments of $87.2 million, $128.8 million and $12.5 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We will continue to evaluate goodwill for impairment in 2025 and future impairments of goodwill could occur if our stock price declines.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill might not be recoverable. As a result of the decline of the Company’s stock price at December 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred, therefore we performed quantitative impairment evaluations as of those interim dates. As a result of the quantitative impairment evaluation at December 31, 2025, the Company determined that no impairment existed at that date as the estimated fair value of the Company’s one reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. As a result of the quantitative impairment evaluation at March 31, 2024, the Company determined that the carrying value of its one reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value which resulted in goodwill impairment of $87.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. As a result of the quantitative impairment evaluation at March 31, 2023, the Company determined that the carrying value of its one reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value which resulted in goodwill impairment of $128.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we identified a triggering event related to certain intangible assets and performed valuation of these intangible assets. As a result of this valuation, we recorded an impairment of $2.5 million. We will continue to evaluate goodwill and other intangibles for impairment and future impairments of goodwill and other intangibles could occur if our stock price declines.
The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted in December 2017 and significantly affected U.S. tax law by changing how the United States imposes income tax on multinational corporations, and although it is understood that the U.S. Congress has been considering legislation that would extend certain provisions of the TCJA due to expire, the possibility that this will happen and the consequences of any resulting legislation are uncertain. The U.S. Department of Treasury has broad authority to issue regulations and interpretative guidance that may significantly impact how we will apply the law and impact our results of operations. As additional interpretative guidance is issued by the applicable authorities, we may need to revise our provision (benefit) for income taxes in future periods. These revisions could materially affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial position.
Further, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted in August 2022, which contained provisions effective January 1, 2023, including a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases by public corporations, both of which we do not expect to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. While we do not anticipate these changes to be significant, these revisions could materially affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial position.
TaxThe laws,tax regulations,regimes we are subject to or operate under, including income and administrativenon-income practices in various jurisdictionstaxes, are evolvingunsettled and may be subject to significant change. Changes in tax laws or tax rulings, or changes duein tointerpretations economic,of politicalexisting laws, could materially affect our results of operations, cash flows and otherfinancial conditions.position. ThereIn addition, there are many transactions that occur during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain, and significant judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision and accruals for these taxes. Governments are increasingly focused on ways to increase tax revenues, particularly from multinational corporations, which may lead to an increase in audit activity and harsher positions taken by tax authorities. We are currently subject to tax audits in various jurisdictions and these jurisdictions may assess additional tax liabilities against us.
In July 2025, the United States enacted significant tax legislation commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”). The OBBBA makes permanent many provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and introduces additional changes affecting individuals and businesses. The issuance of additional regulatory or accounting guidance related to the OBBBA or other executive or Congressional actions in the United States or globally could materially affect our tax obligations and significantly impact our effective tax rate in the period such guidance is issued or such actions take effect, and in future periods.
Our effective tax rate could also be materially affected by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (the “OECD”), the European Commission’s and other certain major jurisdictions’ heightened interest in and taxation of large multinational companies. For instance, the OECD has enacted model rules for a new global minimum tax framework (“BEPS Pillar Two”), and various governments around the world have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation on these rules. These developments in tax laws and regulations, and compliance with these rules, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), an international association of countries, including the United States, released the final reports from its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) Action Plans, which aim to standardize and modernize global tax policies. The BEPS Action Plans propose revisions to numerous tax rules, including country-by-country reporting, permanent establishment, hybrid entities and instruments, transfer pricing, and tax treaties. The BEPS Action Plans have been or are being enacted by countries where we have operations. The European Commission (“EC”) has conducted investigations in multiple countries focusing on whether local country tax rulings provide preferential tax treatment that violates European Union state aid rules and concluded that certain countries, including Ireland, have provided illegal state aid in certain cases. The EC and OECD have also been evaluating new rules on the taxation of the digital economy to provide greater taxing rights to jurisdictions where customers or users are located and to address additional base erosion and profits shifting issues. In addition, many countries have recently introduced new laws or proposals to tax digital transactions. These developments in tax laws and regulations, and compliance with these rules, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
New and evolving AI, privacy, and data protection laws and regulations, and the risks and costs of compliance or noncompliance, could adversely affect our business.
New laws and increasing levels of regulation in the areas of privacy and protection of user data could harm our business.
The regulatory framework for privacy and data security matters around the world is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain volatile for the foreseeable future. We are subject to privacy and data security obligations in the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and other foreign jurisdictions relating to the collection, use, sharing, retention, security, transfer and other handling of personal data about individuals, including our users and employees around the world. Data protection, consumer protection and privacy laws may differ, conflict and be interpreted and applied inconsistently, from country to country. In many cases, these laws apply not only to user data, employee data and third-party transactions, but also to transfers of personal data between or among ourselves, our subsidiaries, and other parties with which we have commercial relations, in addition to methods of communication and consent for such communication. These laws continue to develop in the U.S. and around the globe, including through regulatory and legislative action and judicial decisions, in ways we cannot predict and that may harm our business. For example, a new QuebecQuebec’s data protection law took effect in September 2023,2023 and is fully in force, and updates to Canadian federal privacy legislation are pending. India passed the Digital Personal Data Protection ActAct, which was enacted in 2023.2023 with implementing rules and guidance continuing to develop. In addition, the United States, through the Federal Communications Commission, recentlyhas implementedadopted newand begun enforcing enhanced lead generation “robot-text” and “robo-calls” regulations under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). AsThese theregulations particularsinclude ofheightened consent, disclosure and recordkeeping requirements for certain automated and semi-automated communications, and their scope and interpretation continue to evolve through regulatory guidance and judicial decisions. Compliance with these regulations are unknown at this time, these new consumer protection regulationsrequirements could impact our organization’s corporate go-to-market sales initiatives, as well as certain feature sets in our current product stack.
Any failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or contractual obligations may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are subject to an investigation or litigation or suffer a breach of security of personal data, we may incur costs or be subject to forfeitures and penalties that could reduce our profitability. Compliance with these laws may restrict our ability to provide services to our customers that they may find to be valuable.
Any failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or contractual obligations may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are subject to an investigation or litigation or suffer a breach of security of personal data, we may incur costs or be subject to forfeitures and penalties that could reduce our profitability. In addition, compliance with these laws may restrict our ability to provide services to our customers that they may find to be valuable. For example, theThe General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) became effective in May 2018.2018 in the EU, and a separate but substantially similar data protection regime applies in the United Kingdom. The GDPR,GDPR whichand appliesUK GDPR apply to personal data collected in the context of all of our activities conducted from an establishment in the European Union,Union and United Kingdom, related to products and services offered to individuals in the European Union and United Kingdom or related to the monitoring of individuals’ behavior in Europe,Europe or the United Kingdom, imposes a range of significant compliance obligations regarding the handling of personal data. These obligations include requirements relating to lawful bases for processing, transparency, data subject rights, data security, breach notification, cross-border data transfers and accountability. Actions required to comply with these obligations depend in part on how particular and strict regulators interpret and apply them.them and continue to evolve through regulatory guidance and judicial decisions. If we fail to comply with the GDPR, or if regulators assert we have failed to comply with the GDPR, we may be subject to, for example, regulatory enforcement actions,actions that can result in monetary penalties of up to 4% of our annual worldwide revenue or EUR 20 million (whichever is higher), orders restricting or prohibiting data processing, private lawsuits, class actions, regulatory orders to stop processing and delete data, and reputational damage. In June 2021, the European Commission published new versions of the Standard Contractual Clauses, which are used as a legal cross-border mechanism allowing companies to transfer/allow access to personal data outside the European Economic Area. Use of the previous versions of the Standard Contractual Clauses is no longer allowed and all contracts that include the earlier versions should have been amended to replace them with the new versions by December 27, 2022.allowed. Also in June 2021, the European Data Protection Board finalized its recommendations regarding supplemental transfer measures to protect personal data during cross-border transfers. We must incur costs and expenses to comply with the newthese requirements, which may impact the cross-border transfer of personal data throughout our organization and to/from third parties. In some circumstances, data localization requirements or restrictions on cross-border data transfers in certain jurisdictions may further limit our ability to transfer personal data or require changes to our technical, contractual or business practices.
Further, U.S. states continue to adopt new laws or amendingamend existing laws related to data privacy, requiring attention to frequently changing regulatory requirements. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) requirerequires businesses to provide specific disclosures in their privacy notices and honor residents' privacy rights. The CCPA provides for civil penalties of up to $7,500 per violation and allows private litigants affected by certain data breaches to recover significant statutory damages. Although the CCPA does not apply to certain data that we processprocessed in specific contexts may be exempt from the context of clinical trials,CCPA, efforts to comply with the CCPA may increase our annual compliance costs and subject us to potential liability with respect to other personal information we may maintain about California residents. In addition, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”), which camebecame into effectoperative on January 1, 2023, expanded the CCPA's requirements, extending it to cover personal information of business representatives and employees and the CPRA established a new regulatory agency to implement and enforce the law. Other states, such as Virginia, Nevada, Connecticut, Utah, TexasTexas, Colorado, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Delaware, and Colorado,New Jersey, have also passedenacted comprehensive privacy laws,laws that have taken effect or are scheduled to take effect, and similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels, which impose similar obligations to those in the CCPA. These laws may increase our potential liability related to our data processing activities, complicate our compliance efforts, and increase both legal risk and compliance costs for us and the third parties upon whom we rely.
Compliance with the GDPR, the newU.S. state consumer privacy laws, and other current and future applicable U.S. and international privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and other data-related laws can be costly and time-consuming. Complying with these varying requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs and/or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business. Violations of applicable data and privacy-related laws can result in significant penalties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, reputation, and results of our operations. Furthermore, conflicting requirements across applicable privacy and data security laws wouldmay complicate our compliance efforts and increase both legal risk and compliance costs for us and the third parties upon whom we rely.
Australia recentlyhas amended its Privacy Act, increasing the maximum penalties available for serious or repeated data breaches from AUSAUD 2.2 million to the greater of: (i) AUSAUD 50 million; (ii) three times the value of any benefit obtained through misuse of the information; or (iii) 30% of a company’s adjusted turnover in the relevant period.
In addition to the influx of privacy and data protection law, AI has become a topic of discussion across the United States and globe. In the United States, states have either passed laws or have utilized existing laws to implement policies and rules governing the use of AI as it relates to the personal data of individuals and decision making. For example, the California Privacy Protection Agency, has proposed regulations governing automated decision-making technologies pursuant to the authority granted under the CCPA. At the federal level, the United States government has affirmed its ability to regulate AI through, but not limited to, existing laws such as the Federal Trade Commission Act, the federal rule making process through various federal agencies, and Presidential Executive Orders. In addition, the United States Congress is actively and continuously introducing laws governing AI and data protection with the expectation that such laws will be passed in 2025 to regulate AI systems while providing protection for individuals within the United States. Globally, countries have been proactive in implementing laws and regulations concerning AI. For example, the EU AI Act was passed by the European Union entered into force on August 1, 2024, which provides for a compliance centered around a risk-based approach taking into account the implementation and use of the AI system. Other countries, such as Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, have either proposed laws or provided guidance under existing law governing the use of AI. Compliance with the ever-changing AI landscape could result in substantial costs or require changes in business practices, with violations resulting in significant penalties.
We post on our websites our privacy notices and practices concerning the collection, use, sharing, disclosure, deletion and retention of our user data. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy notices or with any regulatory requirements or orders or other federal, state or international privacy -relatedprivacy-related laws and regulations, including the GDPR, CCPA and CPRA, could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others (e.g., class action plaintiffs), subject us to significant penalties and negative publicity, require us to change our business practices, increase our costs and adversely affect our business. We may also experience security breaches and likely will in the future,breaches, which themselves may result in a violation of these laws and give rise to regulatory enforcement and/or private litigation.
In addition to the influx of privacy and data protection law, AI has become a topic of discussion across the United States and globally. In the United States, states have either passed laws or have utilized existing laws to implement policies and rules governing the use of AI as it relates to the personal data of individuals and decision-making. For example, the California Privacy Protection Agency has adopted and continues to refine regulations governing automated decision-making technologies pursuant to its authority under the CCPA, with compliance obligations for automated decision-making technology planned to begin in 2027 under the final regulations. At the federal level, the United States government has affirmed its ability to regulate AI through, but not limited to, existing laws such as the Federal Trade Commission Act, the federal rulemaking process through various federal agencies, and Presidential Executive Orders. In addition, the United States Congress is actively and continuously introducing laws governing AI and data protection with the expectation that such laws will regulate AI systems while providing protection for individuals within the United States, although the timing, scope and substance of any such legislation remain uncertain. Globally, countries have been proactive in implementing laws and regulations concerning AI. For example, the European Union’s AI Act (“EU AI Act”) was adopted by the European Union and entered into force on August 1, 2024, which provides for a compliance centered around a risk-based approach taking into account the implementation and use of the AI system. Other countries, such as Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, have adopted or have proposed laws, regulations, standards, and guidance related to AI and automated decision-making, which may impose additional compliance obligations, restrict certain uses of AI, increase our compliance costs, and adversely affect our business.
The EU AI Act is considered the world’s first comprehensive legal framework on AI, and will impose new obligations regarding transparency, oversight, and accountability on entities providing, deploying, distributing, importing, or manufacturing AI systems. Notably, the AI Act applies to providers who place or put into service AI systems on the EU market, even if they are not themselves established or located within the EU.
Compliance with the ever-changing AI landscape could result in substantial costs or require changes in business practices, with violations resulting in significant penalties.
Our internal computer systems, or those of any third-party with whom we do business may fail or suffer a cybersecurity incident, such as a data breach or computer virus, which could harm our business by damaging our reputation, exposing us to liability, adversely impacting our revenue, or materially disrupting our operations.
We rely on our information technology systems and infrastructure to manage our business. In addition, we receive, process, store, and transmit, data of others. Unauthorized access to our (or any third party with whom we do business) computer systems or stored data could result in theft or improper disclosure of personal or confidential information or other sensitive data, the deletion or modification of records, or could cause interruptions in our operations. Cybersecurity threats include, but are not limited to, ransomware attacks, phishing attempts, and the exploitation of software vulnerabilities to gain access to our information technology environment, and cybersecurity risks increase when we transmit information from one location to another, including transmissions over the Internet or other electronic networks. Despite our existing security measures and our commitment to implementing and continually improving our cybersecurity posture to mitigate the risk of a cybersecurity incident, we cannot guarantee that such incidents will not occur to us or any third-party with whom we do business. A cybersecurity incident, even if promptly addressed, may harm our reputation, damage our brand, and erode trust. Our systems, and those of any third-party with whom we do business, may also be vulnerable to software viruses, stolen, misplaced, or lost data, programming and/or human errors, or other similar events that may disrupt our operations or expose personal and confidential information.
Moreover, in the event of a cybersecurity incident, we may face investigations, legal actions, including class action litigation, regulatory inquiries, and regulatory enforcement actions. We may also be subject to fines, consent orders, or mandated corrective actions that could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial position. If such an event were to occur and cause material interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our development programs and our business operations, whether due to a loss of our trade secrets or other proprietary information. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of, or damage to, our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability, and our competitive position could be harmed.
Certain data breaches must be reported to affected individuals and various government and/or regulatory agencies, including under U.S. federal and state laws, and requirements of non-U.S. jurisdictions, including the GDPR, Canadian law, and other foreign laws. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential information of others, whether by us or a third-party, could: (i) subject us to civil and criminal penalties; (ii) have a negative impact on our reputation; or (iii) expose us to liability to third parties or government authorities.

Through a series of acquisitions and integrations, we have established a library of diverse software applications under the Upland brand that address specific digital transformation needs. Our revenue has grown from $149.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 to $274.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate of 11%. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, non-US revenue as a percent of total revenue was 29%, 30%, and 30%, respectively.
Our operating results in a given period can fluctuate based on the mix of subscription and support, perpetual license and professional services revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our subscription and support revenue represented 95%, 95% and 94% of our total revenue, respectively. Historically, we have sold certain of our applications under perpetual licenses, which also are paid in advance. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our perpetual license revenue accounted for 2%, 2% and 2% of our total revenue, respectively. The support agreements related to our perpetual licenses are one-year in duration and entitle the customer to support and unspecified upgrades. The revenue related to such support agreements is included as part of our subscription and support revenue. Professional services revenue consists of fees related to implementation, data extraction, integration and configuration and training on our applications. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our professional services revenue accounted for 3%, 3%, and 4% of our total revenue, respectively.
To support continued growth, we may pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies and businesses. This may expand our product library, customer base and market access, resulting in increased benefits of scale.
Sunset Assets and Divestitures
In connection with periodic reviews of our business in 2022 and 2023, we decided to discontinue the availability of certain non-strategic product offerings and a limited number of non-strategic customer contracts (collectively referred to as “Sunset Assets”). As a result of the discontinuation of these Sunset Assets, the Company has established end of life targets and reduced certain expenditures related to the sales and marketing of the Sunset Assets.
In connection with periodic reviews of our business, we decided to discontinue the availability of certain non-strategic product offerings and a limited number of non-strategic customer contracts (collectively referred to as “Sunset Assets”). As a result of the discontinuation of these Sunset Assets, we established end of life targets and reduced certain expenditures related to the sales and marketing of the Sunset Assets. It is possible that during future periodic reviews of our business we may determine to add additional non-strategic product offerings or non-strategic customer contracts to Sunset Assets or remove certain product offerings or customer contracts from the classification of Sunset Assets. In either case, we will adjust the revenues attributable to Sunset Assets for the then current period and properly reflect the year over year change for such addition or removal.
During 2025 we completed divestitures of certain product lines in order to streamline and focus our business. These divestitures had the effect of reducing revenue and expense in the near term. In conjunction with these divestitures, we terminated a legacy vendor contract related to out-sourced research and development. As a result of this termination, we believe we are able to efficiently use our R&D Center of Excellence and reduce overall R&D costs while maintaining our development capacity and product competitiveness.
Cost of product revenue. Cost of product revenue consists primarily of hosting costs, personnel-related costs of our customer success and cloud operations teams, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation, and allocated overhead, as well as software license fees, internet connectivity, depreciation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, specifically developed technology, as a result of business combination purchase accounting adjustments and pass-through costs directly related to delivering our applications. We expect that cost of revenues may increase in the future depending on the growth rate of our new customers and billings and our need to support the implementation, hosting and support of those new customers. We intend to continue to invest additional resources in expanding the delivery capability of our applications. As we add hosting infrastructure capacity and support personnel in advance of anticipated growth, our cost of product revenue will increase, and if such anticipated revenue growth does not occur, our product gross profit will be adversely affected both in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenues in any particular quarterly or annual period. Our cost of product revenue is generally expensed as the costs are incurred. DevelopedAcquired developed technology is valued using a cost-to-recreate approach and is generally amortized over a four- to nine-year period.
Cost of professional services revenue. Cost of professional services revenue consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation and allocated overhead, as well as the costs of contracted third-party vendors and reimbursable expenses. As most of our personnel are employed on a full-time basis, our cost of professional services revenue is largely fixed in the short-term, while our professional services revenue may fluctuate, leading to fluctuations in professional services gross profit. We expect that cost of professional services as a percentage of total revenues could fluctuate from period to period depending on the growthlevel of our professional services business, the timing of sales of applications, and any associated costs relating to the delivery of services. Our cost of professional services revenue is generally expensed as costs are incurred.
Our operating expenses are classified into six categories: sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, acquisition and divestiture related expenses and impairment of goodwill and other intangibles.
Our operating expenses are classified into six categories: sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses and impairment of goodwill. For each category, other than depreciation and amortization and impairment of goodwill, the largest expense component is primarily personnel-related costs, which includes salaries, employee benefit costs, bonuses, commissions, stock-based compensation, and payroll taxes. Operating expenses also include allocated overhead costs for facilities, which are allocated to each department based on relative department headcount. Operating expenses are generally recognized as incurred.
Research and development. Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs of our research and development staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation, and allocated overhead and costs of certain third-party contractors.overhead. Research and development costs related to the development of our software applications are generally recognized as incurred. We have devoted our product development efforts primarily to enhancing the functionality, and expanding the capabilities, of our applications. Investment tax credits are included as a reduction of research and development costs. Investment tax credits are recorded in the year in which the research and development costs of the capital expenditures are incurred, provided that we are reasonably certain that the credits will be received. The investment tax credit must be examined and approved by the tax authorities, and it is possible that the amounts granted will differ from the amounts recorded.
General and administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs for our executive, administrative, accounting and finance, information technology, legal, accounting and human resource staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, payroll taxes, stock-based compensation, allocated overhead, professional fees and other corporate expenses. We have recently incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional expenses as we grow our operations, including potentially higher legal, corporate insurance, accounting and auditing expenses and the additional costs of enhancing and maintaining our internal control environment. General and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue, and overtimeover time we expect that general and administrative expenses will decrease as a percent of revenue due to operational efficiencies.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, specifically customer relationships and trade names, as a result of business combination purchase accounting adjustments.
Acquisition and divestiture related expenses. Acquisition and divestiture related expenses are transaction related expenses such as commissions, banker fees, legal and professional fees, and insurance costs. These expenses may also include transformational expenses such as severance, compensation for transitional personnel, office lease terminations and vendor cancellations. These expenses can vary based on the size, timing and location of each transaction. See “Note 15. Divestitures” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding current divestiture related expenses.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily consist of depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, specifically customer relationships and trade names, as a result of business combination purchase accounting adjustments. The valuation of identifiable intangible assets reflects management’s estimates based on, among other factors, use of established valuation methods. Customer relationships are valued using an income approach, which estimates fair value based on the earnings and cash flow capacity of the subject asset and are amortized over a seven to ten-year period. The value of the trade name intangibles are determined using a relief from royalty method, which estimates fair value based on the value the owner of the asset receives from not having to pay a royalty to use the asset and are amortized over mostly a three-year period.
Acquisition-related expenses. Acquisition-related expenses are typically incurred for up to four quarters after each acquisition, with the majority of these costs being incurred within six to nine months, to transform the acquired business into the Company’s UplandOne platform. These expenses can vary based on the size, timing and location of each acquisition. These acquisition-related expenses include transaction related expenses such as banker fees, legal and professional fees, insurance costs and deal bonuses. These acquisition-related expenses also include transformational expenses such as severance, compensation for transitional personnel, office lease terminations and vendor cancellations. Generally these acquisition-related expenses should no longer be material if the Company has done no acquisitions after one year.
Impairment of goodwill.goodwill and other intangibles. Goodwill impairment is recognized on a non-recurring basis when the carrying value (or GAAP basis book value) of ourthe Company (which is our only reporting unit) exceeds the estimated fair value of ourthe Company as determined by reference to a number of factors and assumptions, including the spot closing price of our Commoncommon Stockstock as of a certain reporting or measurement date. We assess goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st, or more frequently when an event occurs which could cause the carrying value of ourthe Company to exceed the estimated fair value of the Company. We periodically review the estimated useful lives of our Company.identifiable intangible assets, taking into consideration any events or circumstances that might result in either a diminished fair value or revised useful life. See “Note 5.4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our first quarter 2024, our first quarter 2023 and our fourth quarter 2022 goodwill impairment charges. We will continue to evaluate goodwill and other intangibles for impairment in future periods.
Total other expense consists primarily of amortization of debt issuance costs over the term of the related term loan, revaluation of foreign subsidiaries, interest expense on outstanding debt, partially offset by amounts recognized related to our interest rate derivatives and interest income on our interest-bearing cash balances held in money market accounts. We participate in interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of reducing variability in interest rate payments on the Company’s outstanding term loans. These interest rate swaps fix a portion of the Company's interest rate (including the hedge premium) at 5.4% for the term of the Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined in “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facility”). In addition, gains/losses on divested assets that meet the definition of a business under ASC 805-10, Business Combination—Overall,805 are included in Totaltotal other expense.
Because we have not generated domestic net income in any period to date, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our domestic net deferred tax assets, exclusive of tax deductible goodwill. We have historically not recorded any materialsignificant provision for federalU.S.federal or state income taxes, other than deferred taxes related to tax deductible goodwill and current taxes in certain separate company filing states and states in which loss carryforwards do not fully offset taxable income. The balance of the tax benefit (provision) for the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, outside of tax deductible goodwill and current taxes in separate filing states, is related to foreign income taxes, primarily operations of our subsidiaries in Canada and Ireland, and to the release of valuation allowances associated with acquisitions of domestic entities with a benefit generated in the UK and Australia fully offset by valuation allowances. Realization of any of our domestic deferred tax assets depends upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Based on analysis of acquired net operating losses, utilization of our net operating losses will be subject to annual limitations due to the ownership change rules under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and similar state provisions. In the event we have subsequent changes in ownership, the availability of net operating losses and research and development credit carryovers could be further limited.

The decrease related to Sunset assets was $1.1 million total attributable to reduced infrastructure costs of $0.4 million, reduced personnel costs of $0.6 million and reduced non-cash amortization of intangibles of $0.1 million. The remaining decrease of $1.8 million related to a reduction of $1.4 million in non-cash amortization of intangibles, a decrease of $0.5 million personnel costs, and $0.3 million in professional services offset with an increase in $0.4 million of infrastructure costs in our on-going product lines.
Cost of professional services revenue was $3.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 23%.

Sales and marketing expense was $66.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $64.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $2.0 million, or 3%. Sales and marketing expense increased $4.3 million as a direct result of our intentional investment in our go to market strategy, including increased marketing spend and personnel-related costs to strengthen our marketing and demand generation. This increase is partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in sales and marketing expense related to our Sunset Assets.
Research and development expense was $36.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $47.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $10.9 million, or 23%.

These decreases reflect the termination of our out-sourced research and development contract and the continued use of our efficient India Center of Excellence.
Research and development expense was $47.4 million in 2024, compared to $49.4 million in 2023, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 4%.

The remainder of the decrease was related to a $0.3 million decrease in personnel-related costs in our Sunset Assets and a $1.5 million decrease related to our divested product lines combined with the effects of divestiture-related transition services agreements which ended in July 2025.
General and administrative expense was $49.5 million in 2024, compared to $61.3 million in 2023, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 19%. This decrease was driven primarily by lower non-cash stock compensation expense of $6.5 million due to lower grant date fair values, lower personnel-related costs of $2.9 million in response to intentional cost cutting measures, lower professional fees of $2.1 million primarily due to lower tax fees and legal fees related to non-recurring litigation and decreases in insurance and other costs of $0.2 million.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $45.6 million in 2024, compared to $58.6 million in 2023, a decrease of $13.0 million, or 22%. The decrease in amortization expense relates to the 2023 reduction in the useful life expected for the acquired intangible assets such as customer relationships and tradenames for our Sunset Assets. The decrease in depreciation is due to assets becoming fully depreciated during 2024.
Acquisition-relatedAcquisition Expenseand Divestiture related Expenses
Acquisition and divestiture related expenses were $9.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to nominal amounts for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $9.7 million. Divestiture related expenses in 2025 consisted of $2.6 million in professional services fees related to the divestitures completed during the year ended December 31, 2025. We also recorded a one-time termination fee and other cancellation costs of $5.5 million in 2025 related to a legacy vendor contract for out-sourced research and development. Additional costs included severance of $1.0 million and $0.6 million of license, data center and other fees. Acquisition and divestiture related expenses were immaterial in 2024 as no acquisitions or divestitures occurred during 2023 or 2024.
Acquisition-related expense was $0.0 million in 2024, compared to $3.1 million for 2023, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 99%. The decrease in expense was a result of no acquisitions in 2024. Expense in 2023 primarily related to final settlements of the 2022 acquisitions.
Impairment of goodwill and other intangibles
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we identified a triggering event related to certain intangible assets related to divestitures and performed a valuation of certain long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360. As a result of the valuation, we recorded $2.5 million of impairment expense related to certain intangible assets.
As a result of declines in our stock price during the year ended December 31, 2024, we performed a goodwill impairment evaluation which resulted in a goodwill impairment of $87.2 million in 2024.
Goodwill impairment is recognized on a non-recurring basis when the carrying value (or GAAP basis book value) of our Company (which is our only reporting unit) exceeds the estimated fair value of our Company as determined by reference to a number of factors and assumptions, including the trends in the stock price of our Common Stock. We assess goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st, or more frequently when an event occurs which could cause the carrying value of our Company to exceed the estimated fair value of our Company. As a result of declines in our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2023, we performed goodwill impairment evaluations in each quarter which resulted in impairments of goodwill was $87.2 million and $128.8 million, respectively.
Interest expense, net was $15.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $6.9 million, or 77%. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the effects of our interest rate derivatives which reduced interest expense, net by $23.7 million in 2024 but only reduced interest expense, net by $7.9 million in 2025. The effects of the interest rate derivatives were offset by decreased cash interest expense of $14.8 million due to the reduction of outstanding debt from 2024 to 2025. In addition, interest income declined by $6.4 million in 2025 compared to 2024 due to lower cash and cash equivalents. Other changes in interest expense, net were due to changes in amortization of debt costs.
Loss on divestitures of businesses was $24.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to nil in the year ended December 31, 2024. During 2025, we divested multiple product lines in order to focus on our higher margin and higher growth potential product lines. No such divestitures occurred in 2024.
Loss on debt extinguishment was $2.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to nil in the year ended December 31, 2024. The non-cash loss on debt extinguishment was the result of the replacement of our previous credit facility with our new credit facility. As a result of paying down our previous credit facility, we were required to expense $2.3 million of remaining unamortized debt discount on our previous term loan. No debt was extinguished in 2024.
Interest expense, net was $8.9 million in 2024, compared to $18.7 million for 2023, a decrease of $9.8 million, or 52%. The decrease results from the recognition of $10.6 million more in benefit from the recognition of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income benefit related to our interest rate swaps, the decrease in cash interest expense of $3.1 million net of the cash flows from the interest rate swaps due to lower interest rates as well as a decrease in outstanding borrowings on our Credit Facility and the decrease of $0.2 million of other interest charges. These decreases in interest expense, net were offset by the recognition of the decline in fair value of the de-designated interest rates swaps after August 2024 of $1.6 million and the decrease in interest income on our deposits of $2.5 million due to lower interest rates and lower invested cash balance.
Other expense, net was $0.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to other income, net wasof $1.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to other income of $0.2 million in 2023, a change $0.9of $1.8 million. The differencechange in other expense is primarily due to an increase in foreign currency exchange gains compared to 2023.fluctuations.
BenefitProvision fromfor Income Taxes
Expense from income taxes was $0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease in expense from income taxes of $2.4 million, or 91%. This decrease was related primarily to the the tax benefit recorded upon the current year divestiture in Ireland which was offset by increased tax expense in Canada.
Provision for income taxes was $2.6 million in 2024, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $2.5 million in 2023, an increase in the provision for income taxes of $5.1 million, or 206%. This increased expense was primarily related to the increased expense in Canada and reduced benefit in the UK for 2024. The 2024 increased expense was also impacted by a material goodwill impairment in 2024, changes in deferred tax liabilities associated with amortization of U.S. tax deductible goodwill and U.S. state taxes in certain states in which the Company does not file on a consolidated basis or have net operating loss carryforwards. The increase in tax expense was partially offset by reduced tax expense related to other international operations.

On June 3, 2026, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every ten shares of our issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one share of common stock, without any change in par value per share, which remained $0.0001 per share. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in fractional shares. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share received a cash payment in lieu thereof. All outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and other equity-based awards, as well as the number of shares available for issuance under our 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended, were proportionately adjusted in accordance with their respective terms.

Impairment of goodwill and other intangibles
Goodwill impairment is recognized on a non-recurring basis when the carrying value (or GAAP basis book value) of our Company (which is our only reporting unit) exceeds the estimated fair value of our Company as determined by reference to a number of factors and assumptions. We assess goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st, or more frequently when an event occurs which could cause the carrying value of our Company to exceed the estimated fair value of our Company. As a result of a decline in our stock price and other indicators of impairment during the three months ended June 30, 2026, we performed a goodwill impairment evaluation which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $35.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. No goodwill impairment was identified in the three or six months ended June 30, 2025. We will continue to evaluate goodwill for impairment and future impairments of goodwill could occur if we experience significant stock price declines or other indicators of impairment.
We periodically review the estimated useful lives of our identifiable intangible assets, taking into consideration any events or circumstances that might result in either a diminished fair value or revised useful life. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, there were no impairments of identifiable intangible assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we identified a triggering event related to certain identifiable intangible assets related to Sunset Assets and performed a valuation of those long-lived assets. As a result of the valuation, we recorded $2.5 million of impairment expense related to certain identifiable intangible assets associated with Sunset Assets.

As we operate as one reporting unit, the goodwill impairment evaluation is performed at the consolidated entity level by comparing the estimated fair value of the Company to its carrying value. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors considered include: industry and market considerations; macroeconomic conditions; and other relevant events and factors. Based on the qualitative assessment, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the Company's fair value is less than its carrying value, then we perform a quantitative analysis using a fair-value-based approach to determine if the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Performing a quantitative goodwill impairment test includes the determination of the fair value of a reporting unit and involves significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include, among others, revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, weighted average cost of capital, and future economic and market conditions. See “Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for more information.
