Key Financial Metrics

Key Non-GAAP Metrics: Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) reached $513.7 million as of June 30, 2025, a 14.5% increase year-over-year. Dollar-based net revenue retention was approximately 102% for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Q2 2025 revenue increased 9.9% year-over-year, driven by growth in data protection, security, and unified endpoint management solutions, as well as revenue from the Adlumin acquisition.
• Profitability Decline: GAAP operating income decreased 54% to $10.1 million, and the company reported a net loss of $4.0 million compared to net income of $9.5 million in the prior year. This was primarily due to increased operating expenses and amortization.
• Cost Increases: Cost of revenue rose 49.7% due to a $3.8 million increase in amortization of acquired technologies from the Adlumin acquisition. Operating expenses increased 18% due to higher personnel costs, stock-based compensation, and transaction-related costs.
• Acquisition Impact: The November 2024 acquisition of Adlumin, Inc. significantly impacted the current period's financials, adding substantial amortization expenses and deferred consideration costs.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects stock-based compensation expenses to continue increasing in 2025 due to new equity awards. The company anticipates that existing cash and operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund operations for at least the next twelve months.
• Share Repurchases: The Board approved a $75.0 million share repurchase program in March 2025. During Q2 2025, the company repurchased $10.0 million of common stock.
• Tax Legislation: The company is evaluating the impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) signed on July 4, 2025, which includes changes to R&D capitalization and interest limitation deductions. Effects are expected to be reflected starting in Q3 2025.
• Risks: Key risks include the impact of adverse economic conditions on IT spending, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, cybersecurity threats, and the ability to successfully integrate acquisitions. The company faces exposure to variable interest rates on its credit facilities.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Adlumin Integration: Verify the timeline for realizing synergies and the specific impact of Adlumin's amortization on future margins.
• Deferred Consideration: Review the fair value adjustments and payment schedules for the $120 million deferred consideration and $30 million earn-out related to the Adlumin acquisition.
• Net Retention Trends: Monitor the dollar-based net revenue retention rate, which declined to 102% from 108% in the prior year, to assess the impact of the "Long-Term Contract Initiative."
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with the Credit Agreement's financial covenants, specifically the maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 7.50 to 1.00.
• Tax Rate Volatility: Assess the sustainability of the effective tax rate, which was 441.4% in Q2 2025 due to unbenefited losses in the U.S.
