Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026
- Our dollar-based net expansion rate has historically fluctuated and is expected to continue to fluctuate on a quarterly basis as a result of a number of factors, including existing customers' satisfaction with our solutions, existing customer retention, the pricing of our solutions, the availability of competing solutions and the pricing thereof, and the timing of customer renewals.
- This represents recurring payments that we expect to receive in the next 12-month period from the cohort of customers that existed on the last day of the same reporting period in the prior year.
- We expect our gross profit, or revenue less cost of revenue, to increase in absolute dollars but our gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, may fluctuate from period to period, particularly as it relates to cloud infrastructure costs, as we expect revenue from our cloud-based subscriptions to increase as a percentage of revenue.
- We expect our operating expenses to increase in absolute dollars and decrease as a percentage of revenue, although our actual expense may fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and extent of expenses.
- We expect to maintain this valuation allowance for the foreseeable future as it is more likely than not that some or all of those deferred tax assets may not be realized based on our history of losses.
- We will continue to evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets to determine changes to valuation allowance in future periods.
- At September 30, 2026, we had deferred revenue of $863.4 million, of which $685.4 million was recorded as a current liability and is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
- We expect to enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in other complementary businesses, services and technologies, including intellectual property rights, in the future.
