Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 3.2% year-over-year (YoY) for Q2 and 2.8% YoY for the six-month period, driven by growth in enterprise and mid-market subscription solutions and partner revenue share.
• Margin Expansion: Gross margin improved to 79.0% in Q2 2025 from 75.8% in Q2 2024. This was aided by a decrease in Cost of Revenue (down 10.5% YoY), largely due to reclassifying certain employee costs from Cost of Revenue to Sales and Marketing following restructuring.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses decreased 2.7% YoY in Q2. Restructuring charges were $1.6 million in Q2 2025 compared to $2.6 million in Q2 2024. Research and Development expenses declined 9.7% YoY due to workforce reductions.
• Debt Restructuring: The company exchanged approximately $161.2 million of 2026 Convertible Notes for $150.0 million of new 2028 Convertible Notes (7.50% interest) in late 2024. In Q1 2025, the company repurchased an additional $59.1 million of the 2026 notes, resulting in a $3.9 million gain on extinguishment recorded in the first half of 2025.
• Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $88.9 million at year-end 2024 to $46.3 million at June 30, 2025, primarily due to debt repayments and investment in marketable securities.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Strategic Outlook: Management is focused on "efficient profitable revenue growth," transitioning customers to annual billing cycles, and expanding AI capabilities across the platform. A new branded payments offering is targeted for a fiscal year 2026 launch.
• Rebranding Risks: The company notes risks associated with the rebranding initiative, including potential short-term impacts on search engine rankings and brand recognition, which could increase marketing costs.
• AI and Technology Risks: Significant risks are associated with the development and deployment of AI technologies, including data quality, model accuracy, and reliance on third-party AI infrastructure.
• Macroeconomic Factors: The company is monitoring the impact of U.S. trade policies and tariffs on its international customers, though no material impact has been observed to date.
• Internal Controls: The company disclosed that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025, due to a material weakness in IT general controls (specifically user access and program change management). Remediation efforts are ongoing.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the progress of remediation efforts regarding the material weakness in IT general controls and internal financial reporting.
• Monitor the impact of the rebranding from BigCommerce to Commerce.com on organic search traffic and customer acquisition costs.
• Track the execution of the transition from month-to-month to annual billing cycles and its effect on cash flow and churn.
• Assess the sustainability of gross margin improvements given the reclassification of expenses and potential increases in hosting costs.
• Review the terms and conversion risk of the $150 million 2028 Convertible Notes (7.50% interest, $16.00 conversion price).
