- We expect the costs of delivering our communication services and communication APIs, both in total dollars and as a percentage of service revenue, to vary with the amount of service revenue and the mix of subscription and usage revenue within service revenue.
- We plan to increase service revenue through a combination of new customer acquisition, cross-selling of additional products to existing customers, including new products resulting from our increased investment in innovation, AI, geographic expansion of our customer base outside the United States, innovation in our products and technologies, and strategic acquisitions of technologies and businesses.

- Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity for at least the next twelve months and the foreseeable future, the success of our operations, the global economic outlook, and the pace of growth in our markets could impact our business and liquidity.
- Management has evaluated our liquidity position and concluded that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with anticipated cash flows from operations, are sufficient to repay the 2024 Term Loan at maturity.
- For information regarding our expected cash requirements and timing of payments related to leases and noncancelable purchase commitments, see Note 6 , Leases, and Note 7 , Commitments and Contingencies, respectively, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
