Response to

Macroeconomic Conditions and COVID-19

The Company believes there is sufficient cash flow to meets its business obligations, working capital needs,

Global events, such as recent geopolitical instability, inflation and remain in financial compliance with covenants for the next 12 months from the date of financial statement issuance. Nonetheless, in order to better enable the Company to weather the extraordinary business challenges brought about by the global COVID-19 pandemic, to protect the safety and welfare of its employees, itself financially, maintain cash reserves, and ensure its long-term solvency, the Company instituted certain temporary measures during 2020 that continued into 2021. These measures, including undertaking restructuring actions to manage costs and headcount, provided the Company the financial flexibility needed to manage a wide array of outcomes that may result from the pandemic. These temporary measures were discontinued during the second half of 2021.

The global COVID-19 pandemic hashave created and may continueor contributed to create, significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, including changes in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and increased labor costs, which, in turn, could decrease overall economic activity, hinder economic growth or cause a recession in the United States or in the global economy. Negative macroeconomic conditions may affect the businesses of the Company's clients, which could result in reduced demand for the Company's services or cancellations, increased demands for pricing accommodations or higher rates of delays in collection of, or losses on, the Company's accounts receivable, which could adversely affect its results of operations. If the Company is unable to offset any decrease in revenue by increasing sales to new or existing customers, its revenues may decline or grow at lower rates. The extent of itsthe impact of ongoing macroeconomic conditions on the Company’s operational and financial performance is uncertain and will depend on continuously evolvingpolitical, social, economic and regulatory factors that are outside of the Company's control, including but not limited to the durationincidence and spreadseverity of the outbreak, the speedadditional COVID-19 virus variants and degree of the anticipated economic recovery,actions that may be taken by regulators and the impact on the Company’s customers.businesses (including customers) in response to macroeconomic uncertainty. The Company considered the impact of the current economic environment and COVID-19 on theits estimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue from two primary sources: Event Cloud subscription-based solutions and Hospitality Cloud marketing and subscription-based solutions. Subscription services revenue consists primarily of fees to provide the Company’s customers with access to its cloud-based platform. Subscription service contracts do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software, are non-cancellable, and do not contain rights of return. Hospitality Cloud marketing solutions primarily relate to digital advertising on the Company’s hosted venue sourcing networks. Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to a customer. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress for subscription contracts because control is transferred evenly over the contract term. For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, the Company recognized approximately 85.880.9% of its revenue from services transferred to the customer over time, with the remaining 14.219.1% of revenue recognized at a point in time upon delivery, generally when an event occurred. The Company’s services are generally provided under annual and multi-year contracts with invoicing occurring in annual or quarterly installments at the beginning of each year or quarter, as applicable, in the contract period. Revenue is presented net of sales and other taxes the Company collects on behalf of governmental authorities.

Certain contracts may include multiple distinct performance obligations which may consist of some or all of subscription services, marketing packages, and professional services. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations relating to SaaS subscriptions, which are concurrently delivered and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer (the services transfer to the customer ratably over the contract period), the entire contract value is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations that do not have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, revenue is recognized at each performance obligation’s respective standalone selling price (“SSP”), when the performance obligations are satisfied. The SSP is the price at which the Company would sell a promised good or service separately to a customer. The Company estimates SSP based on internal margin analysis, competitor data, and other industry standards for SaaS-based companies.

Segment and Geographic Data

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates in1

Net Loss per Share of Common Stock

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of stock options. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities, including stock options, are antidilutive and accordingly not considered, therefore basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.

For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, 55,354,53652,570,335 and 36,768,05851,718,612 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock respectively, because including them would have been antidilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 will require companies to apply the definition of a performance obligation under ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination. Under current U.S. GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU No. 2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under ASC Topic 606.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents billings under signed contracts before the related products or services are transferred to customers. The portion of deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized as revenue during the subsequent 12-month period is recorded as deferred revenue in current liabilities and the remaining portion is recorded as other liabilities, non-current, which is not material. Deferred revenue was $287.5246.2 million and $239.8 million as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $98.852.2 million and $208.1 million of revenue, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of 2022.

Remaining Performance Obligations

For multiple-year agreements for either Event Cloud or Hospitality Cloud, wethe Company typically invoiceinvoices the amount for the first year of the contract at signing followed by subsequent annual invoices at the anniversary of each year. Since we billthe Company bills most of ourits customers in advance, there can be amounts that we have notcontractually the Company is yet been contractually able to invoice. Until such time as these amounts are invoiced or recognized in revenue, they are considered by usthe Company to be unbilled contract value, and together with deferred revenue, remaining performance obligations. As of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ourthe Company's total current deferred revenue was $287.5246.2 million and $239.8 million, respectively, which amount does not include unbilled contract value for contracts of approximately $518.8508.7 million and $573.4 million, respectively. We expectThe Company expects that the amount of unbilled contract value relative to the total value of ourits contracts will change from year to year for several reasons, including the amount of cash collected early in the contract term, the specific timing and duration of customer agreements, varying invoicing cycles of agreements, the specific timing of customer renewal,renewals, changes in customer financial circumstances and foreign currency fluctuations. We expectThe Company expects to recognize 69.272.7% of ourits remaining performance obligations as revenue over the subsequent 24 months, and the remainder thereafter.

An employee may not purchase more than $25,000 of stock during any calendar year. Payroll deductions from employees related to the ESPP are classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

CventThe Company was founded in 1999 in the Washington, D.C. metro area as a provider of event registration software to meeting and event organizers. Since that time, we have continually innovated to develop a comprehensive platform of event marketing and management solutions and hospitality solutions. We believe that since inception, we have demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit, culture of teamwork and sense of resilience, particularly in moments of crisis. This is best evidenced by the Company’s continued progress and innovation in the midst of challenges like the recessions of 2001 and 2008 and the global COVID-19 pandemic.

CventThe Company is a leading cloud-based platform of enterprise event marketing and management and hospitality solutions. We power the marketing and management of meetings and events through our Event Cloud and Hospitality Cloud solutions. Our Event Cloud consists of tools to enable event organizers to manage the entire event lifecycle and deliver engaging experiences across every type of event and all event delivery models: in-person, virtual and hybrid. Event Cloud serves as the system of record for event and engagement data collected across an organization’s total event program, which comprises every internal and external event an organization hosts or attends (“Total Event Program”). Our Hospitality Cloud offers a marketplace that connects event organizers looking for the appropriate event space for their in-person and hybrid events with hoteliers and venue operators through a vertical search engine built on our proprietary database of detailed event space information. In addition, our Hospitality Cloud provides marketing and software solutions that hotels and venues leverage to digitally showcase their event space to attract valuable leads and grow their businesses. This combination of the Cvent Event Cloud and Hospitality Cloud results in a cohesive platform that we believe generates powerful network effects and attracts more event organizers and hotels and venues.

Macroeconomic Conditions and COVID-19

Impact of COVID-19 on Operating Results

The globalGlobal events, such as recent geopolitical instability, inflation and the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly impacted our abilityhave created or contributed to sign new clients,uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, including changes in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and to upsell to and renew contracts with our existing clients, startingincreased labor costs, which, in March 2020. Our customer count declined 9.5% as of March 31, 2022 as compared to March 31, 2021. The extent to which the global COVID-19 pandemic will affect our business will depend on future developmentsturn, could decrease overall economic activity, hinder economic growth or cause a recession in the United States or in the global economy. Negative macroeconomic conditions may affect our clients’ businesses, which could result in reduced demand for our services or cancellations, increased demands for pricing accommodations or higher rates of delays in collection of, or losses on, our accounts receivable, which could adversely affect our results of operations. If we are unable to offset any decrease in revenue by increasing sales to new or existing customers, our revenues may decline or grow at lower rates. The extent of the impact of ongoing macroeconomic conditions on our operational and around the world, which are highlyfinancial performance is uncertain and cannot be predicted,will depend on political, social, economic and regulatory factors that are outside of our control, including but not limited to the durationincidence and spread of the pandemic and different COVID-19 variants, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of additional COVID-19 virus variants and the actions requiredthat may be taken by regulators and businesses (including customers) in response to contain and treat it, among others. Althoughmacroeconomic uncertainty. We considered the ultimate impact of the globalcurrent economic environment and COVID-19 pandemic on our businessestimates and assumptions and determined that there were no material adverse impacts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial results remains uncertain, a continuedstatements as of September 30, 2022 and prolonged public health crisis such as the global COVID-19 pandemic could have a material negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. See Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors — The effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic have materially affected how we and our customers are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the yearthree and nine months ended December 31, 2021 for more information.September 30, 2022. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, our estimates and assumptions may change materially in future periods.

Key Business Metric

In addition to our financial information determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), we review the following key business metric to measure our performance, identify trends, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions.

Net Dollar Retention Rate

To evaluate the efficacy of our land and expand model, we examine the rate at which our customers increase their spend with us for our solutions. Our net dollar retention rate measures our ability to retain and increase spend acrossour existing customer base through expanded use of our platform, offset by customers who choose to stop using our solutions or spend less with us.

We calculate our net dollar retention rate as a quotient of the following:

Denominator: Revenue from customers whose revenue existed in the twelve months ending on the day twelve months prior to the date as of which the retention rate is being reported.
Numerator: Revenue in the last twelve months from the customers whose revenue is reflected in the denominator.

19


In the Event Cloud, we define a customer as a party who has entered into an active subscription contract with us. The majority of our customers are parties who are separate organizations. In certain instances, separate business units of an organization that have each entered into separate subscription agreements with us are considered separate customers. In the Hospitality Cloud, we define a customer as an entity with an active account with the Company, where the customer pays for the account or the account has been paid

18


for by the customer’s parent company. For example, a corporate brand’s individual hotel properties whose accounts are paid for by that property’s corporate brand would be considered separate customers.

The calculation excludes transactional revenue, revenue associated with our client conference and revenue associated with acquisitions where by-client revenue is not available, revenue is recognized on a transactional basis and revenue associated with our client conference.available. This revenue comprised 3.6% and 3.2%4.4% of revenue for each of the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 4.4% and 3.1% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We believe our ability to not only retain, but upsell and cross-sell additional features and products to, our existing customers will continue to support our net dollar retention rate. As of March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021, our net dollar retention rate was 108.7%116.1% and 83.9%90.0%, respectively. The return ofyear-over-year increase in our net dollar retention rate to pre-COVID levels wasis primarily due to the lessening impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022 on both the Event and Hospitality Clouds, andresulting in increased spend on products supporting in-person events, in addition to the adoption of our new virtual solution, Attendee Hub. WeWith in-person meetings and events continuing to quickly return, our net dollar retention rate currently exceeds pre-pandemic levels. In the near-term, we believe our net dollar retention rate will return to pre-pandemic levels as the rate of growth of in-person meetings and events continues to normalize. Longer-term, we believe our net dollar retention rate may exceed historicalpre-pandemic levels as a result of the market opportunity created by virtual and hybrid events and the accelerated digitization of the meetings and events industry.

Our net dollar retention rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the growing level of our revenue base, the level of penetration within our customer base, expansion of products and features, our ability to retain our customers and our ability to upsell and cross-sell to our customers. Our calculation of net dollar retention rate may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.

Components of Operating Results

Revenue

We generate revenue from two primary sources: Event Cloud subscription-based solutions and Hospitality Cloud marketing-based and subscription-based solutions. Subscription-based solution revenue consists primarily of fees to provide our customers with access to our cloud-based software platform. Marketing-based solution revenue consists primarily of fees for digital advertising on the Cvent Supplier Network (“CSN”) or one of our other online advertising platforms.

Event Cloud

We generate the majority of our Event Cloud revenue from subscriptions for our event marketing and management software solution. Subscription revenue is driven primarily by the number of registrations purchased and the number and complexity of mobile applications, onsite events and virtual events purchased in addition to additional modules that enhance the functionality of the software solution. In some cases, the subscription price is based on the number of subscriptions being purchased by the customer.

The terms of our Event Cloud contracts are typically non-cancellable, have annual or multi-year terms, and are billed in advance generally annually, but also on aan annual or quarterly basis.basis, as applicable. In the case of multi-year agreements, the agreement sometimes includes annual price increases over the contract term. Our agreements are sum-certain and not pay-as-you-go. Generally, if a customer exceeds their purchased number of registrations, the customer will incur an overage fee. We recognize revenue associated with Event Cloud subscription agreements ratably over the term of the contract. Certain revenue associated with Onsite Solutions and Attendee Hub products is recognized at a point in time as the services are performed and the performance obligations are satisfied. Amounts that have been contractually invoiced are initially recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue ratably over the subscription period. We refer to contractual amounts that have not been invoiced as unbilled contract value, and together with deferred revenue, remaining performance obligations. Unbilled contract value is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

20


Hospitality Cloud

We generate our Hospitality Cloud revenue from marketing and subscription-based software solutions. Marketing solutions revenue is primarily driven by the number of advertisements purchased on CSN. The advertisement price is primarily determined by the term, targeted geography, market tier, number and prominence of the advertising placement. Subscription revenue is driven primarily by the number of licenses purchased for our lead scoring solution to prioritize group RFPs, three-dimensional hotel tours, event diagramming to collaborate with event organizers on designing optimal event layouts and viewing three-dimensional renderings, room block management to enable event attendees to reserve hotel rooms, business transient solutions and business intelligence solutions to benchmark against internal and targeted competitive metrics. In some cases, the subscription price is based on the number of subscriptions being purchased by the customer.

The terms of our subscription and marketing contracts are typically non-cancellable, annual or multi-year terms, and are typically billed in advance generally annually, but also on aan annual or quarterly basis.basis, as applicable. In the case of multi-year agreements, the agreement sometimes includes annual price increases over the contract term. Our agreements are typically sum-certain and not based on usage.

19


We recognize revenue associated with these agreements ratably over the term of the subscription or advertising period. Amounts that have been contractually invoiced are initially recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue ratably over the subscription or advertising period. We refer to contractual amounts that have not been invoiced as unbilled contract value, and together with deferred revenue, remaining performance obligations.

We refer to contractual amounts that have not been invoiced as unbilled contract value, and together with deferred revenue, remaining performance obligations. Unbilled contract value is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. See “Key Factors Affecting Our Performance Seasonality” included in Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for the effects of seasonality on our Hospitality Cloud Revenue.

For multi-year agreements for either Event Cloud or Hospitality Cloud solutions, we typically invoice the amount for the first year of the contract at signing, followed by subsequent annual invoices at the anniversary of each year. Since we bill most of our customers in advance, there can be amounts that we have not yet been contractually able to invoice. Until such time as these amounts are invoiced or recognized in revenue, they are considered by us to be unbilled contract value, and together with deferred revenue, remaining performance obligations. As of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our total current deferred revenue was $287.5$246.2 million and $239.8 million, respectively, which amounts do not include unbilled contract value for contracts not yet billed of $518.8$508.7 million and $573.4 million, respectively. We expect that the amount of unbilled contract value relative to the total value of our contracts will change from year to year for several reasons, including the amount of cash collected early in the contract term, the specific timing and duration of customer agreements, varying invoicing cycles of agreements, the specific timing of customer renewal,renewals, changes in customer financial circumstances and foreign currency fluctuations. We expect to recognize approximately 69.2%72.7% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue over the subsequent 24 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of employee-related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, related to providing support and hosting our solutions, costs of cloud-based data center capacity, software license fees, costs to support our onsite, solutionsvirtual and virtual products,hybrid solutions, interchange fees related to merchant services and amortization expense associated with capitalized software. In addition, we allocate a portion of overhead, such as rent and depreciation and amortization to cost of revenue based on headcount.

Although Cventthe Company breaks out revenue by cloud, we do not track or manage the business by cost of revenue by cloud. Rather, we manage cost of revenue by type of direct cost, and a significant portion of these direct costs are shared costs to support both Event Cloud and Hospitality Cloud solutions. This is consistent with Cvent’sthe Company’s approach to management of the business as one comprehensive solution for the entire event management lifecycle.

We are invested in our customers’ success and as such, we will continue to invest in providing support, expanding our capacity to support our growth and developing new features to support virtual, hybrid and hybridin-person events and enhance our existing products, which in the near-term willis expected to result in higher cost of revenue in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue.dollars.

Gross profit and gross margin

Gross profit is total revenue less total cost of revenue. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue. We expect that our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period as a result of seasonality related to our onsite, virtual and hybrid solutions virtual and merchant services products in the near-term, and additional costs associated with potential future acquisitions.

Operating expenses

21


Our operating expenses include selling and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and intangible asset amortization, exclusive of amounts included in cost of revenue.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel and related expenses for our sales and marketing staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, commissions and stock-based compensation. We capitalize commissions when they are earned by staff, which is when the customer contract is signed. We amortize capitalized commissions over the average historic customer contract life. In addition to staff costs, our cost of marketing includes product marketing and other brand-building and lead generation tactics such as webinars, trade shows, product seminars, content marketing, digital marketing, third-party content distribution and our annual client

conference, Cvent CONNECT. In addition, we also allocate a portion of overhead, such as rent and depreciation to sales and marketing based on headcount.

We intend to continue to invest in sales and marketing and expect spending in these areas to increase in absolute dollars in the near-term as we continue to expand our business both domestically and internationally and take advantage of the growing need for virtual and hybrid events. We expect sales and marketing expenses to continue to be among the most significant components of our operating expenses.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our research and development staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation and the cost of third-party contractors. Research and development expenses, other than software development costs that qualify for capitalization, are expensed as incurred. In addition, we allocate a portion of overhead, such as rent and depreciation to research and development based on headcount.

With the exception of software developed by companies we have acquired, we maintain a unified software code base for our entire platform, which we believe improves the efficiency of our research and development activities. We expect research and development expenses to remain consistentincrease in absolute dollars in the near-term as we continue to expand our product offerings, including our virtual and hybrid event functionality, and integrate and support potential future acquired businesses and technologies.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for administrative, internal information technology operations, finance, legal, corporate development, strategy and human resource staff, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation, as well as professional fees, insurance premiums and other corporate expenses. In addition, we allocate a portion of overhead, such as rent and depreciation to general and administrative based on headcount.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the near-term as we continue to expand our operations and hire additional personnel to support our growth.operations. Additionally, we expect to incur incremental general and administrative expenses to comply with the additional requirements of being a public company.

Intangible asset amortization, exclusive of amounts included in cost of revenue

Intangible asset amortization, exclusive of amounts included in cost of revenue, consists entirely of amortization expenses related to acquired customer relationship and trademark intangible assets. This line item excludes intangible asset amortization related to cost of revenue, which is defined as acquired developed technology and capitalized software intangible asset amortization.

We expect to continue to pursue strategic acquisition opportunities, and if successful, we expect that our intangible asset amortization expenses towill increase in absolute dollars in the near-term as we expect to strategically acquire companies to aid in our near-term growth.

This increase was primarily driven by a $7.7 million increase in stock-based compensation, a $6.0 million increase in employee expense due to a 22.4% increase in average headcount, a $2.8 million increase in corporate insurance related to public company directors' and officers' insurance, a $1.6 million increase in contracted services, and a $1.3 million increase in licenses and fees. A portion of these cost increases are related to additional costs incurred as a publicly traded company. These increases were partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease in bad debt expense and a $0.9 million decrease in legal costs associated with prosecuting a trade secret misappropriation claim.

Intangible Asset Amortization, Exclusive of Amounts Included in Cost of Revenue. Intangible asset amortization, exclusive of amounts included in cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022was $36.5 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or, 5.8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was driven primarily by the scheduled decline in the amortization of intangible assets acquired in past years and no significant business acquisitions occurring in 2022.

Additionally, the Company made partial repayments totaling $120.0 million of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by additional borrowings of $20.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when takenconsidered collectively with the corresponding GAAP measures, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental measures of operating performance monitored by management that are not defined under GAAP and that do not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net loss or net loss margin, as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted for interest expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount, gain/(loss) on extinguishment of debt, gain/(loss) on divestitures, net, other income/(expense), net, provision for/(benefit from) income taxes, depreciation, amortization of software development costs, intangible asset amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, cost related to acquisitions, and other items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful to investors, analysts, and other interested parties because itthey can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical financial periods.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider either in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin alongside other financial performance measures, including net loss, net loss margin and our other GAAP results. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the use of the term variesterms may vary from others in our industry.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss and of Adjusted EBITDA margin to net loss margin (defined as net loss divided by revenue), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, is as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, on-going collection of our accounts receivable and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facilities.Facility (see Note 11. “Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report). Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to the seasonality of the Company’s operating cash flows, and the Company’s desire to minimize interest expense. Cash and cash equivalents may include holdings in bank demand deposits, money market instruments and certificates of deposit. We also periodically invest a portion of our excess cash in short-term investments with stated maturity dates between three months and one year from the purchase date.

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held by us, cash and cash equivalents anticipated to be generated by us and borrowing capacity under our revolving line of creditRevolving Credit Facility are sufficient to meet working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, and contractual obligations for at least 12 months and beyond. We also believe that these financial resources will continue to allow us to manage the ongoing impact of macroeconomic conditions, including COVID-19, on our business operations for the foreseeable future, including mitigating potential reductions in revenue and delays in payments from our customers and partners. Our future capital requirements will depend on several factors, including but not limited to our obligation to repay any amounts outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facilities,Facility, our subscription growth rate, subscription renewal activity, billing frequency, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced solutions, and the continuing market adoption of our platform.platform and our level of acquisition activity or other strategic transactions. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies, including intellectual property rights.

33


We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies, this could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities is significantly influenced by the amount of cash we invest in personnel and infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of our business and the amount and timing of customer payments. Cash provided by operations in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021 is primarily attributable to net loss adjusted for non-cash items. Cash provided by operations is also attributable to the change in accounts receivable and deferred revenue, which is driven by the seasonality of our business as a result of higher levels of invoicing in the first and fourth quarters and our collections process. Our cash flows from operating activities are generally reflective of our ability to invoice annual subscription fees upfront with payments due 30 days after the customer’s receipt of the invoice.

For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $79.9$141.2 million, which was primarily driven by an $81.1 million net loss adjusted for non-cash items, including $91.2 million in depreciation and amortization, $46.0 million in stock-based compensation, and $23.8 million in amortization of capitalized commission, as well as other working capital components, including a $48.2$45.6 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, a $34.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, and a $7.7 million increase in deferred revenue, partially offset by a $27.7 million increase in capitalized commissions, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $121.6 million, which was primarily driven by a $64.5 million net loss adjusted for items, including $93.1 million in depreciation and an $18.9amortization, $21.6 million in amortization of capitalized commissions, and $16.8 million in stock-based compensation, as well as other working capital components, including a $52.6 million decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by a $13.6 million increase in capitalized commissions, net. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $51.2 million, which was primarily driven by net loss adjusted for non-cash items, a $35.9 million increase in deferred revenue, and an $11.2 million increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a $12.5$26.7 million increase in capitalized commissions, net, a $4.2and an $18.9 million increase in accounts receivable, and a $3.3 million reduction in operating lease liability.deferred revenue.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities have consisted primarily of costs related to software developed for internal use, purchases of computer equipment and leasehold improvements, purchases and sales of short-term investments and business acquisitions. During 2021 and 2022, the impact of the pandemic lessened, and as these effects continue to lessen and whenas our business begins to grow again,grows, we expect our capital expenditures and our investment activity to continue to increase.

For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $17.7$49.9 million, reflecting $11.9$38.4 million in capitalized software development, $4.4$2.3 million in net purchases of short-term investments, $3.6 million in acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $1.4$5.7 million in purchases of property and equipment. For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $25.0$50.4 million, reflecting $15.2 million in net purchases of short-term investments, $8.7$30.3 million in capitalized software development, and $1.0$14.8 million for the acquisition of Shoflo, LLC, net of maturities, $2.8 million of purchases of property and equipment.equipment, and $2.7 million of purchases of short-term investments.

Financing Activities

Commitments and Contingencies

See the information set forth in Note 12.13. “Commitments and Contingencies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

28


Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify customers, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses related to breach of confidentiality and claims by third parties of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors—We have indemnity provisions under our contracts with our customers, channel partners and other third parties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, we enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain officers and employees that require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. There are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note 2. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the unaudited condensed consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, although we also have some exposure due to potential changes in inflation or interest rates. We do not hold financial instruments for trading purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange(the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, and that information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period ended March 31,September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
