Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 25% year-over-year (YoY) for the quarter and 26% for the nine-month period. Platform revenue grew 25% (quarter) and 26% (nine months), driven by a 26% increase in subscription revenue and a 24% increase in usage-based revenue.
• Gross Margin Expansion: Total gross margin improved to 70.8% from 65.2% YoY. Platform gross margin increased to 77.2% from 72.7%, aided by the reclassification of certain customer success costs to Sales and Marketing and reduced impairment losses on operating lease assets.
• Operating Expenses:
  • Sales & Marketing: Increased 15% YoY ($78.3M) due to higher headcount and stock-based compensation (SBC). Certain customer success costs were reclassified here from Cost of Revenue.
  • Research & Development: Increased 19% YoY ($78.5M) driven by personnel costs and infrastructure investments.
  • General & Administrative: Increased 53% YoY ($61.8M), primarily due to a $17.9M increase in SBC, including $13.5M related to performance-based RSUs granted to Co-Founders.
• Acquisitions: Acquired Conduit Tech, Inc. in October 2025 for approximately $19.8 million (net of cash) to integrate HVAC design and sales proposal tools.
• Debt Repayment: The company repaid all amounts outstanding under its Revolver Facility in January 2025. As of October 31, 2025, only the Term Loan remains outstanding.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects to continue investing in product development, sales, and marketing to drive Gross Transaction Volume (GTV) and customer expansion. The company processed $21.7 billion in GTV for the quarter ended October 31, 2025.
• Non-GAAP Performance: On a non-GAAP basis (excluding SBC, amortization of intangibles, and other items), the company reported positive operating income of $21.5 million for the quarter and $66.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2025.
• Key Risks:
  • Profitability: The company has a history of losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
  • AI Integration: Risks associated with the adoption of Generative AI, including potential inaccuracies, liability, and regulatory changes.
  • Concentration: A majority of customers are small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), which are more susceptible to economic fluctuations.
  • Internal Controls: Material weaknesses in internal controls identified in fiscal 2019 were remediated as of the end of fiscal 2024, but future weaknesses cannot be ruled out.
  • Geopolitical: Operations in Armenia, Poland, and Macedonia expose the company to regional instability and sanctions risks.

Investor Verification Checklist

• SBC Impact: Verify the sustainability of GAAP losses given the significant stock-based compensation expense ($49.7M in Q3, $142.7M in 9M), particularly the $13.5M Co-Founder RSU expense in G&A.
• Customer Success Reclassification: Confirm the long-term impact of shifting customer success costs from Cost of Revenue to Sales and Marketing on gross margin trends.
• Debt Covenants: Review the Credit Agreement covenants (minimum revenue and liquidity thresholds) to ensure compliance, especially given the recent repayment of the revolver.
• Acquisition Integration: Monitor the integration progress and revenue contribution of the Conduit Tech acquisition.
• Non-GAAP Reconciliation: Scrutinize the reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP metrics to understand the true cash operating performance versus accounting adjustments.
