Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Risks and Contingencies:

• Macroeconomic Conditions: Inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical instability may impact IT spending and sales cycles.
• Competition: Intense competition in the work management space, particularly regarding AI deployment and integration capabilities.
• Cybersecurity: Risks related to data breaches, ransomware, and the security of AI models. A flaw in the Model Context Protocol feature was disclosed in June 2025.
• Regulatory: Evolving regulations regarding AI (e.g., EU AI Act), data privacy (GDPR, CCPA), and tax laws (e.g., One Big Beautiful Bill Act).
• Leadership Transition: Daniel Rogers joined as CEO in July 2025, succeeding Dustin Moskovitz. Sonalee Parekh is set to resign as CFO in March 2026, with Aziz Megji appointed as successor.

Investor Verification Checklist

• AI Monetization: Verify the specific revenue contribution and adoption rates of new AI products (AI Teammates, AI Studio) to ensure they are driving the projected growth.
• Retention Trends: Monitor the dollar-based net retention rate for the upcoming quarters to ensure it remains above 95% despite macroeconomic headwinds.
• Impairment Recurrence: Assess whether the $24.0 million office impairment charge is a one-time event or indicative of ongoing real estate optimization costs.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the Senior Secured Credit Facility covenants, specifically the consolidated adjusted quick ratio of 1.25 to 1.00.
• Leadership Stability: Evaluate the impact of the CFO transition (Parekh to Megji) on financial reporting and strategic execution.
