NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Pegasystems Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “the Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited financial statements, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.
All intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for the interim periods presented aredo not necessarily indicative ofindicate the expected results expected for the full year 2021.2022.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Convertible debt
In August 2020,Certain prior period amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The standard eliminates the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature. As a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in stockholders’ equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Additionally, the debt discount resulting from separating the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized intocurrent year’s presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income, as interest expense over the instrument’s life. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. The standard also requires the convertible instruments’ impact on diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) be determined using the if-converted method.
The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2021. Upon adoption, the book value of the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”) increased by $69.5 million to $587.7 million, and retained earnings increased by $9.4 million. The retained earnings adjustment reflects the tax effected difference between the value of the Notes and the embedded conversion feature before adoption and the combined convertible instrument's amortized cost after adoption.

NOTE 8. DEBT
Convertible senior notes and capped calls
Convertible senior notes
In February 2020, the Company issued Convertible Senior Notes (the "Notes") with an aggregate principal of $600 million, due March 1, 2025, in a private placement. No principal payments are requireddue before maturity. The Notes accrue interest at an annual rate of 0.75%, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1, beginning on September 1, 2020.
Conversion rights
The conversion rate is 7.4045 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, representing an initial conversion price of $135.05 per share of common stock. The Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election, based on the applicable conversion rate. The conversion rate will be adjusted upon certain events, including spin-offs, tender offers, exchange offers, and certain stockholder distributions.
Beginning on September 1, 2024, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election.
Before September 1, 2024, noteholders may convert their Notes in the following circumstances:
During any calendar quarter commencingbeginning after June 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

During the 5 consecutive business days immediately after any 5 consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”), if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day.
Upon certain corporate events or distributions or if the Company calls any Notes for redemption, noteholders may convert before the close of business on the business day immediately before the related redemption date (or, if the Company fails to pay the redemption price in full on the redemption date, until the Company pays the redemption price).
As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Notes were not eligible for conversion at the noteholders’ election.conversion.
Repurchase rights
On or after March 1, 2023 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a redemption notice.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” occur, each noteholder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such noteholder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal thereof that is equal to $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. A Fundamental Change relates to mergers, changes in control of the Company, liquidation/dissolution of the Company, or the delisting of the Company’s common stock.
Impact of the Notes
The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2021. The standard eliminates the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature. See "Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements" for additional information.
Until January 1, 2021, the Notes were separated into liability and equity components.

The initial carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring a similar debt instrument’s fair value that does not have an associated conversion feature. The excess of the Notes’ principal amount over the initial carrying amount of the liability component, the debt discount, was amortized as interest expense over the Notes’ contractual term.
The equity component was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and not remeasured.
Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the book value of the Notes increased by $69.5 million to $587.7 million, and retained earnings increased by $9.4 million. The retained earnings adjustment reflects the tax effected difference between the value of the Notes and the embedded conversion feature before adoption and the combined convertible instrument's amortized cost after adoption.

Capped call transactions
In February 2020, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions cover approximately 4.4 million shares (representing the number of shares for which the Notes are initially convertible) of the Company’s common stock. The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce common stock dilution and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company must make, other than for principal and interest, upon conversion of the Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap of $196.44. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified extraordinary events affecting the Company, including mergers and tender offers.

The Capped Call Transactions are accounted for as derivative instruments and do not qualify for the Company’s own equity scope exception in ASC 815 since, in some cases of early settlement, the settlement value of the Capped Call Transactions, calculated in accordance withfollowing the governing documents, may not represent a fair value measurement. The Capped Call Transactions are classified as other long-term assets and remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period, resulting in a non-operating gain or loss.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The Company records its cash equivalents, marketable securities, Capped Call Transactions, and venture investments at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
As a basis for classifying the fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the fair value measurements based on the inputs used in measuring fair value, was established as follows:
Level 1 - observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - significant other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs on which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and minimize unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
The fair value of the Capped Call Transactions at the end of each reporting period is determined using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The valuation models usemodel uses various market-based inputs, including stock price, remaining contractual term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield. The Company applies judgment when determining expected volatility. The Company considers both historical and implied volatility levels of the underlying equity security. The Company’s venture investments are recorded at fair value based on multiple valuation methods, including observable public companies and transaction prices and unobservable inputs, including the volatility, rights, and obligations of the securities the Company holds.

Effective income tax rate (benefit rate)00165 %(2,591)%
The change in the effective income tax benefit rate (benefit rate) in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to the impactrecognition of discretea $191.9 million valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax itemsassets.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on sufficient taxable income within the available carryback or carryforward periods. The Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance requires significant judgment and uncertainties, including assumptions about future taxable income based on historical and projected information. On a proportionately largerquarterly basis, the Company reassess the need for a valuation allowance on its existing net deferred tax assets by tax-paying jurisdiction, weighing positive and negative evidence to assess its recoverability. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available and objectively verifiable negative and positive evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, committed contractual backlog (“Backlog”), projected future taxable income (loss) before income taxes in the prior period. The most significant discrete items were excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation andinclusive of the impact of changes in statutory tax rates applicableenacted legislation, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s Backlog balance was not sufficient to recover our U.K.-basednet deferred tax assets. The Backlog balance and other unsettled circumstances, impacting the Company’s operations, reduced the Backlog’s weight as objectively verifiable positive evidence to generate sufficient taxable income to recover its net deferred tax assets. These unsettled circumstances include growing and extended geopolitical turmoil, increasing inflation, and an uncertain global economic outlook.
As of June 30, 2022 the combination of the above factors caused the Company to conclude there is no longer sufficient objectively verifiable positive evidence to support that it is more likely than not the Company will generate sufficient future taxable income to recover the Company’s net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $191.9 million in income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Legal Proceedings
In addition to the matters below, the Company is, or may become, involved in a variety of claims, demands, suits, investigations, and proceedings that arise from time to time relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of the Company’s business, including actions concerning contracts, intellectual property, employment, benefits, and securities matters. Regardless of the outcome, legal disputes can have a material effect on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
In addition, as the Company is a party to ongoing litigation, it is at least reasonably possible that our estimates will change in the near term and the effect may be material.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company entered intohas no accrued losses for litigation.
Pegasystems Inc. v. Appian Corp. & Business Process Management Inc.
On July 3, 2019, the Company filed suit in Massachusetts federal court against Appian Corp. (“Appian”) and Business Process Management, Inc. (“BPM”) relating to a BPM “Market Report” that Appian had used to promote itself against the Company. Pegasystems Inc. v. Appian Corp. & Business Process Management Inc., No. 1:19-cv-11461 (D. Mass). On April 15, 2022, each of the parties filed motions for summary judgment with the court. These motions were heard on July 15, 2022 and no decision has been rendered as of the date of this filing. The Company continues to believe the counterclaims brought by Appian against the Company are without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims against Appian and defend against the counterclaims brought against the Company in this matter. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate possible damages or a range of possible damages in this matter given the Company’s belief that the damages claimed by Appian fail to satisfy the required legal standard, the status of the proceeding, and due to the uncertainty as to how a jury may rule if this ultimately proceeds to trial.
Appian Corp. v. Pegasystems Inc. & Youyong Zou
As previously reported, the Company is a defendant in litigation brought by Appian in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia (the “Court”) titled Appian Corp. v. Pegasystems Inc. & Youyong Zou, No. 2020-07216 (Fairfax Cty. Ct.). On May 9, 2022, the jury rendered its verdict finding that the Company had misappropriated one or more of Appian’s trade secrets, that the Company had violated the Virginia Computer Crimes Act, and that the trade secret misappropriation was willful and malicious. The jury awarded damages in the amount of $2,036,860,045 for trade secret misappropriation and $1.00 for the violation of the Virginia Computer Crimes Act. Since the jury rendering its verdict, the Company and Appian have filed post-trial motions with the court. On May 26, 2022, the Company filed a motion for judicial investigation of juror misconduct. Appian filed its opposition on June 17, 2022. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for July 28, 2022. On June 8, 2022, the Company filed a motion to set aside the verdict, Appian filed a response with the court on July 8, 2022, and the Company filed a reply to Appian’s filing on July 22, 2022. Also on June 8, 2022, Appian filed a motion for attorneys’ fees and costs and for post-judgment interest, seeking an office space lease (the “Lease”) for 131 thousand square feetaward of attorneys’ fees in Waltham, Massachusetts. The lease termthe amount of approximately 11 years$22.6 million, costs in the amount of approximately $4.2 million, and post-judgment interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The Company filed its opposition to that motion on July 8, 2022. Appian filed a reply brief on July 22, 2022. The Court has not yet set a date for a hearing on the motions filed on June 8, 2022. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the court has not yet ruled on the post-trial motions or entered a judgment in this matter. The Company intends to appeal any judgment against it, if such a judgment is expectedentered. The Company continues to commencebelieve that it did not misappropriate any alleged trade secrets and that its sales of the Company’s products at issue were not caused by, or the result of, any alleged misappropriation of trade secrets. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate possible damages because of, among other things, uncertainty as to the outcome of post-trial motions, any appellate proceedings, and/or any potential new trial resulting from the post-trial motions or the appellate proceedings.

Ukraine
Our direct financial exposure to Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus is not material.
In 2021, before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we made a business decision to stop pursuing new clients in Russia and closed our local office. For the year ended December 31, 2021, total revenue from clients located in Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus was less than $4.0 million. However, the ultimate impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on our business will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the conflict, the impact on our people, partners, clients, and vendors in neighboring countries, and globally, all of which are uncertain and unpredictable.
Performance metrics
We utilizeuse performance metrics to analyze and assess our overall performance, make operating decisions, and forecast and plan for future periods, including:
Annual contract value (“ACV”) | Increased 22% since June 30, 2020
ACV as reported, represents the annualized value of our active contracts as of the measurement date. The contract's total value is divided by its duration in years to calculate ACV for termsubscription license and Pega Cloud contracts. Maintenance revenue for the quarter then ended is multiplied by four to calculate ACV for maintenance. Client Cloud ACV is composed of maintenance ACV and term license ACV. ACV is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors, particularly during our Cloud Transition.subscription transition.

The total revenue changes in the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 generally reflect the impact of our Cloud Transition.subscription transition. Other factors impacting our revenue include:
An increasing portion of our term license contracts include multi-year committed maintenance periods instead of annually renewable maintenance. Under multi-year committed maintenance arrangements, a larger portion of the total contract value is recognized as maintenance revenue over the contract term rather than as term license revenue upon the effectiveness of the license rights. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, multi-year committed maintenance contributed $4.3 million to maintenance revenue growth and reduced term revenue growth by $15.4 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, multi-year committed maintenance contributed $7.8 million to maintenance revenue growth and reduced term revenue growth by $20.9 million.
Maintenance renewal rates of higher than 90%.
The increasesdecreases in termsubscription license revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were driven by a large, existing customer that expanded their use of our software, renewed an existing multi-year contract, and extended the term of the agreement earlier in the year than anticipated.
The increases in perpetual license revenue2022 were primarily due to several large perpetualsoftware license contracts recognized in revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
The increases in consulting revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 were primarily due to increases in consultant billable hours. As part of our long-term strategy, we intend to continue growing and leveraging our ecosystem of partners on implementation projects, potentially reducing our future consulting revenue growth.hours in North America.

The most significant discrete items were excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and the impact of changes in statutory tax rates applicable to our U.K.-based deferred tax assets.

This transition has impacted and is expected to continue to impact the timing ofimpacting our billings and cash collections. Pega Cloud, termcollections, as the timing of billings and cash collections generally differs between our subscription and perpetual license arrangements. Subscription licenses and maintenance arrangementsservices are generally billed and collected over the contract term, while perpetual license arrangements usually are generally billed and collected upfront when the license rights become effective.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk representsis the risk of loss from adverse changes in financial market prices and rates.
Foreign currency exposure
Translation risk
Our foreigninternational operations’ operating expenses are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. However, our international sales are also primarily denominated in foreign currencies, which partially offsets our foreign currency exposure.

Remeasurement risk
We experience fluctuations inincur transaction gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded.
We are primarily exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with the Australian dollar, Euro, and U.S. dollar-denominated cash, and cash equivalents, receivables, and intercompany receivables and payablesbalances held by our U.K. subsidiary, a British pound functional entity.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2021.2022. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021.2022.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 20212022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The information set forth in Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies, in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report is incorporated herein by reference and updates the description of our pending legal proceedings, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2022 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2022.
ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS
WeThe risk factors set forth below update the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2022 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on April 28, 2022.
In addition to the risk factors set forth below, we encourage you to carefully consider carefully the risk factors identified in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and future results, and may cause our actual business and financial results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or elsewhere by management.
We face risks related to intellectual property claims or appropriation of our intellectual property rights.
We rely primarily on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secrets laws, as well as intellectual property and confidentiality agreements to protect our proprietary rights. We also try to control access to and distribution of our technologies and other proprietary information. We have obtained patents in strategically important global markets relating to the architecture of our systems. We cannot be certain that such patents will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that rights granted thereunder, or the claims contained therein will provide us with competitive advantages. Moreover, despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our software or to obtain the use of information that we regard as proprietary. Although we generally enter into intellectual property and confidentiality agreements with our employees and strategic partners, despite our efforts our former employees may seek employment with our business partners, clients, or competitors, and there can be no assurance that the confidential nature of our proprietary information will be maintained. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights as effectively as they do in the U.S. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology.
Other companies or individuals have obtained proprietary rights covering a variety of designs, processes, and systems. Third parties have claimed and may in the future claim that we have infringed or otherwise violated their intellectual property. We are currently party to litigation with Appian Corp. - see Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” and Note 14 in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” and Note 14 in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report filed with the SEC on April 28, 2022, and Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” and Note 19 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 16, 2022.
Although we attempt to limit the amount and type of our contractual liability for infringement or other violation of the proprietary rights of third parties and assert ownership of work product and intellectual property rights as appropriate, there are often exceptions, and limitations may not be applicable and enforceable in all cases. Even if limitations are found to be applicable and enforceable, our liability to our clients for these types of claims could be material given the size of certain of our transactions. We expect that software product developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment and delivery delays, require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, or preclude us from making and selling the infringing software, if such proprietary rights are found to be valid. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. These claims could also subject us to significant liability for damages, potentially including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed patents or copyrights. Even if a license were available, we could be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase our operating expenses. As a result, we may be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require substantial effort and cost. If we cannot license or develop technology for any infringing aspect of our business, we would be forced to limit or stop sales of our software and may be unable to compete effectively, which could have a material effect upon our business, operating results, and financial condition.
28


Intellectual property rights claims by third parties are extremely costly to defend, could require us to pay significant damages, and could limit our ability to use certain technologies.
Companies in the software and technology industries, including some of our current and potential competitors, own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, many of these companies can dedicate greater resources to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them. The litigation may involve patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners that have no relevant product revenues and against which our patents may, therefore, provide little or no deterrence. Third parties have claimed and may claim in the future that we have misappropriated, misused, or infringed other parties' intellectual property rights, and, to the extent we gain greater market visibility, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property claims.
Any litigation regarding intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. Significant judgments are required for the determination of probability and the range of the outcomes in any legal dispute, and the estimates are based only on the information available to us at the time. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in claims, legal proceedings, and in estimating the losses that may arise, actual outcomes may differ from our estimates. Contingencies deemed not probable or for which losses were not estimable in one period may become probable, or losses may become estimable in later periods which may have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. Intellectual property disputes could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to enter into royalty and licensing arrangements on unfavorable terms, prevent us from manufacturing or licensing certain of our products, cause severe disruptions to our operations or the markets in which we compete or require us to satisfy indemnification commitments to our customers. Any of these could seriously harm our business.
We are currently party to litigation with Appian Corp. - see Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” and Note 14 in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” and Note 14 in the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report filed with the SEC on April 28, 2022, and Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” and Note 19 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report filed with the SEC on February 16, 2022. Notwithstanding the jury having rendered a verdict in the litigation pending in Virginia, we are unable to reasonably estimate possible damages in that matter because, among other things, of the uncertainty as to the outcome of post-trial motions, appellate proceedings, and/or any potential new trial resulting from the post-trial motions and appellate proceedings. If we are ultimately unsuccessful in prevailing in the matter in the entirety or having the ultimate verdict be substantially reduced, we may be required to incur debt or otherwise engage in capital market transactions to finance the final judgment, together with interest and any awards of attorneys’ fees and costs. In addition, if we do not timely satisfy the judgment within 60 days following the expiration of the right to appeal, there may be an acceleration of liabilities under our Convertible Senior Notes and our credit facility. While we continue to believe that we have the financial strength to pay these amounts if it ever becomes necessary, it is possible that we may not be able to engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
