Financial report summary
?Risks
- If we are unable to increase sales of subscriptions to our products to new customers, sell additional subscriptions to our products to our existing customers, or expand the value of our existing customers’ subscriptions to our products, our future revenue and results of operations will be harmed.
- If our existing customers do not continue using our products and renewing their subscriptions, our business and results of operations will suffer.
- If our paid products are not sufficiently compelling relative to our free community versions, our ability to sell paid subscriptions and retain customers may be limited and our business will suffer.
- Our business and operations have experienced periods of rapid growth and fluctuation, and if we do not appropriately manage future growth or change, if any, or are unable to improve our systems and processes, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects will be adversely affected.
- We have a history of net losses and may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows in the future, or as quickly as we expect. If we cannot achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows, or are slow to do so, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may suffer.
- Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects, and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.
- Our future quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly, and our recent results of operations may not be a good indication of our future performance.
- We rely significantly on revenue from subscriptions and, because we recognize a significant portion of the revenue from subscriptions over the term of the relevant subscription period, downturns or upturns in sales are not immediately reflected in full in our results of operations.
- The new license for our free community edition products places certain limits on competitive use, but the permissive rights under our open-source licenses prior to the change makes it possible for third parties to offer and build upon open-source versions of our products as they existed before the license change. Those competing versions could make it relatively easy for competitors, including public cloud operators, to enter our markets and compete with us.
- We expect our revenue mix to vary over time, which could harm our gross margin and operating results.
- Our ability to increase sales of our products is highly dependent on the quality of our customer support, and our failure to offer high-quality support would have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, and results of operations.
- If we do not effectively focus our product development efforts, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
- We have limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices for our products.
- We target enterprise customers, and sales to these customers involve risks that differ from risks associated with sales to smaller entities.
- Selling our HCP cloud offerings into large enterprises and regulated industries will require an ever-increasing level of features and compliance capabilities to satisfy customer requirements. Our inability to meet those requirements could limit the revenue growth we achieve from our cloud offerings.
- The length of our sales cycles can be unpredictable, and our sales efforts may require considerable time and expense.
- Our revenue growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with our ecosystem of partners and the continued engagement and performance of these partners.
- We may not be capable of meeting the demand for professional services necessary to make our customers successful with our products.
- Our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in our public disclosures may prove inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.
- The markets for some of our products are new, unproven, and evolving, and our future success depends on the growth and expansion of these markets and our ability to adapt and respond effectively to them.
- We face competition that we expect to intensify over time, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Problems with our internal systems, networks, or data, including actual or perceived breaches or failures by us or our partners, could cause our products to be perceived as insecure, underperforming, or unreliable, which would damage our reputation, and our financial results.
- If our offerings do not meet our customers’ performance or support expectations or if we fail to meet service-level availability commitments made to our cloud platform customers, we could face subscription terminations and a reduction in renewals, which could significantly affect our current and future revenue.
- If we are unable to keep pace with technological and competitive developments or fail to integrate our products with a variety of technologies that are developed by others, our products may become less marketable, less competitive, or obsolete, and our results of operations may be adversely affected.
- Failure of our products to satisfy customer demands or to achieve increased market acceptance could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects.

- Incorrect implementation or use of, or our customers’ failure to update, our products could result in customer dissatisfaction and negatively affect our business, operations, financial results, and growth prospects.
- We depend on cooperation with public cloud operators. Changes to arrangements with such operators may significantly harm our customer retention, new customer acquisition, and product extension or expansion, or require us to change our business models, operations, practices, or advertising activities, which could restrict our ability to maintain our platform through these clouds and would adversely impact our business.
- We rely upon public cloud operators to operate our platform and any disruption of or interference with our use of these operators’ services would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
- Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure, and our reliance on technologies from third parties, may adversely affect our business operations and financial results.
