1.Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Sprout Social, Inc. (“Sprout Social” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, began operating on April 21, 2010 to design, develop and operate a web-based comprehensive social media management tool enabling companies to manage and measure their online presence. Customers access their accounts online via a web-based interface or a mobile application. Some customers also purchase the Company’s professional services, which primarily consist of consulting and training services. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company’s customers are primarily located throughout the United States, and a portion of customers are located in foreign countries. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
Over-allotment Offering
On January 15, 2020, the Company completed an equity offering in which it issued and sold 629,603 shares of Class A common stock for total net proceeds of $10.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, as a result of the over-allotment option exercise by the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The Company has prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019,2021, and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year or any future period. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20192021 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures including certain disclosures required by GAAP on an annual basis. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2021, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.23, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that its management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. As the extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain, the Company’s estimates and judgments may evolve as conditions change. The Company is not aware of any events or

circumstances that would require an update to its estimates and judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of May 7, 2020,August 3, 2022, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments include, but are those relatednot limited to, the estimated period of benefit for incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, the incremental borrowing rate for

operating leases, calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts,credit losses, useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, income taxes, commitments and contingencies and litigation, among others.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, “Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 20192021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2021, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.23, 2022. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the threesix months ended March 31, 2020.June 30, 2022.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, including subsequent amendments, 2.Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which modifies the accounting methodology for most financial instruments by establishing a new “expected loss model” that requires entities to estimate current expected credit losses on financial instruments, including trade accounts receivable, by using all practical and relevant information. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.Revenue Recognition
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2018-15”), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
2.Revenue Recognition
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on geographic region in Note 7 and based on the subscription versus professional services and other classification on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and comprehensive loss, as it believes these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is recorded upon establishment of unconditional right to payment under non-cancelable contracts and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company generally invoices customers in advance in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual installments. The deferred revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration, timing and size. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended

The Chicago lease expires in January 2028 and the Seattle lease expires in January 2031. The Company’s existing operating leases require escalating monthly rental payments ranging from $17,000$72,000 to $280,000. Under the terms of the lease agreements, the Company is also responsible for its proportionate share of taxes and operating costs, which are treated as variable lease costs. The Chicago and Seattle leases expire in January 2028 and July 2020, respectively. The San Francisco lease expired in June 2019. The Company’s operating leases typically contain options to extend or terminate the term of the lease. The Company currently does not include any options to extend leases in its v c lease terms as it is not reasonably certain to exercise them. As such, it has recorded lease obligations only through the initial optional termination dates above.

Income TaxesNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
4.Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for interim periods is generally determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, excluding jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized due to valuation allowances. The Company’s effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to a valuation allowance related to the Company’s federal and state deferred tax assets.
The Company accounts for Global Intangible Low–Taxed Income (“GILTI”) as a current-period expense when incurred. Therefore, the Company has not recorded deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse in the future periods.
There has historically been no federal or state provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. For the threesix months ended March 31, 2020,June 30, 2022, the Company recognized an immaterial provision related to foreign income taxes.
5.Incentive Stock Plan
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 by the United States. We are continuing to analyze the CARES Act, but it did not have a material impact on our provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company often includes standard indemnification provisions in its arrangements with third parties, including vendors, customers, investors and the Company’s directors and officers. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. There were no material obligations under such indemnification agreements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2022.

8.Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock for each period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents, which includes stock options, restricted stock units, and restricted stock awards, preferred stock and warrants.awards. Because the Company incurred net losses each period, the basic and diluted calculations are the same. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same for each class of common stock, as both Class A and Class B stockholders are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights.
The following table presents the calculation for basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

We generate revenue primarily from subscriptions to our social media management platform under a software-as-a-service model. Our subscriptions can range from monthly to one-year or multi-year

arrangements and are generally non-cancellable during the contractual subscription term. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date the product is made available to customers, which typically begins on the commencement date of each contract. We also generate revenue from professional services related to our platform provided to certain customers, which is recognized at the time these services are provided to the customer. This revenue has historically represented less than 1% of our revenue and is expected to be immaterial for the foreseeable future.
Our tiered subscription-based model allows our customers to choose among three core plans to meet their needs. Each plan is licensed on a per user per month basis at prices dependent on the level of features offered. Additional product modules, which offer increased functionality depending on a customer’s needs, can be purchased by the customer on a per user per month basis.
We generated revenue of $30.5$61.4 million and $23.4$44.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2022 and 2019,2021, respectively, representing growth of 31%37%. Excluding the impactWe generated revenue of the 2017 acquisition of Simply Measured, Inc., or Simply Measured, our organic growth rate$118.9 million and $85.5 million during the threesix months ended March 31, 2020 compared toJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing growth of 39%. In the threesix months ended March 31, 2019 was 41%. This organic growth rate excludes the impact of revenue generated from legacy Simply Measured products as well as revenue from the transition of legacy customers to our platform up to an amount equal to such customers’ prior spend on legacy Simply Measured products. This organic growth rate includes all incremental revenue generated above such prior spend from the sale of additional or higher-priced products and users and profiles to legacy customers of Simply Measured. In the three months ended March 31, 2020,June 30, 2022, software subscriptions contributed 99% of our revenue.
We generated net losses of $10.5$14.6 million and $5.2$5.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2022 and 2019,2021, respectively, which included stock-based compensation expense of $3.5$12.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively. We generated net losses of $24.4 million and $11.8 million during the threesix months ended March 31, 2020.June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which included stock-based compensation expense of $21.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively. We expect to continue investing in the growth of our business and, as a result, generate net losses for the foreseeable future.

COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was identified. On March 11, 2020,We continue to monitor the World Health Organization characterizedactual and potential effects of the COVID-19 as a pandemic.pandemic across our business. The extent of the pandemic’s impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance and financial position will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the governmental responses to address the pandemic and any re-emergence of COVID-19, impact on our customers and sales cycles and impact on our employees, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Given the importance of our technology platform and heightened market awareness of social media as a strategic communications channel, the pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on our operational and financial performance were not materially impacted by COVID-19 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our recent IPO in December 2019 resulted in $134.3 million net proceeds, as well as an additional $10.0 million of net proceeds received in January 2020 as a result of our sale of over-allotment shares to the underwriters of the Company’s IPO, all of which strengthened our liquidity position prior to the pandemic.
We believe that over the long-term, we will continue to see strong demand for our technology platform; however, the duration and spread of the pandemic could impact our customers’ marketing or social media budgets or ability to pay for existing subscriptions, particularly in the industries most impacted by COVID-19.date. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19; however, at this time, the extent to which the pandemic may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Acquiring new customers
We are focused on continuing to organically grow our customer base by increasing demand for our platform and penetrating our addressable market. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, heavily in expanding our sales force and marketing efforts to acquire new customers. Currently, we have more than 24,00033,000 customers.
Expanding within our current customer base
We believe that there is a substantial and largely untapped opportunity for organic growth within our existing customer base. Customers often begin by purchasing a small number of user subscriptions and then expand over time, increasing the number of users or social profiles, as well as purchasing additional product modules. Customers may then expand use-cases between various departments to drive collaboration across their organizations. Our sales and customer success efforts include encouraging organizations to expand use-cases to more fully realize the value from the broader adoption of our platform throughout an organization. We will continue to invest in enhancing awareness of our brand, creating additional uses for our products and developing more products, features and functionality of existing products, which we believe are vital to achieving increased adoption of our platform. We have a history of attracting new customers and we have recently increased our focus on expanding their use of our platform over time.
Sustaining product and technology innovation
Our success is dependent on our ability to sustain product and technology innovation and maintain the competitive advantage of our proprietary technology. We continue to invest resources to enhance the capabilities of our platform by introducing new products, features and functionality of existing products.
International expansion
We see international expansion as a meaningful opportunity to grow our platform. Revenue generated from non-U.S. customers during the threesix months ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2022 wasapproximately 29%28% of our total revenue. We have built local teams in Ireland, Canada, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, Australia and Australiathe Philippines to support our growth internationally. We believe global demand for our platform and offerings will continue to increase as awareness of our platform in international markets grows. We plan to continue adding to our local sales, customer support and customer success teams in select international markets over time.

Key Business Metrics
We review the following key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

Number of customers
We define a customer as a unique account, multiple accounts containing a common non-personal email domain, or multiple accounts governed by a single agreement. Number of customers excludes customers exclusively using legacy products obtained through the acquisition of Simply Measured. We believe that the number of customers using our platform is an indicator not only of our market penetration, but also of our potential for future growth as our customers often expand their adoption of our platform over time based on an increased awareness of the value of our platform and products.

Number of customers33,620 29,612 
 As of March 31,
 2020 2019
Number of customers24,083
 21,718
Total ARR
Total ARR is ARR from all of our products. We define ARR as the annualized revenue run-rate of subscription agreements from all customers as of the last date of the specified period. Total ARR includes the impact of recurring revenue generated from legacy Simply Measured products, which a small number of legacy Simply Measured customers have continued to access. These customers may continue to do so for a limited period in the future as we continue to transition those customers to other Sprout products. We believe total ARR is an indicator of the scale of our entire platform while mitigating fluctuations due to seasonality and contract term.

We view the number of customers that contribute more than $10,000 in ARR as a measure of our ability to scale with our customers and attract larger organizations. We believe this represents potential for future growth, including expanding within our current customer base. Over time, larger customers have constituted a greater share of our revenue.

Components of our Results of Operations
Revenue
Subscription
We generate revenue primarily from subscriptions to our social media management platform under a software-as-a-service model. Our subscriptions can range from monthly to one-year or multi-year arrangements and are generally non-cancellable during the contractual subscription term. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date our product is made available to customers, which typically begins on the commencement date of each contract. Our customers do not have the right to take possession of the online software solution. We also generate a small portion of our subscription revenue from third-party resellers.
Professional Services
We sell professional services consisting of, but not limited to, implementation fees, specialized training, one-time reporting services and recurring periodic reporting services. Professional services revenue is recognized at the time these services are provided to the customer. This revenue has historically represented less than 1% of our revenue and is expected to be immaterial for the foreseeable future.
Cost of Revenue
Subscription
Cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses related to hosting our platform and providing support to our customers. These expenses are comprised of fees paid to data providers, hosted data center costs and personnel costs directly associated with cloud infrastructure, customer success and customer support, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and allocated overhead. These costs also include depreciation expense and amortization expense related to acquired developed technologies. Overhead associated with facilities and information technology is allocated to cost of revenue and operating expenses based on headcount. Although we expect our cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars as our business and revenue grows, we expect our cost of revenue to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over time.
Professional Services and Other
Cost of professional services primarily consists of expenses related to our professional services organization and are comprised of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and allocated overhead.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross margin is calculated as gross profit as a percentage of total revenue. Our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period based on revenue earned, the timing and amount of investments made to expand our hosting capacity, our customer support and professional services teams and in hiring

additional personnel, and the impact of acquisitions. We expect our gross profit and gross margin to increase as our business grows over time.
22

Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and allocated overhead. Research and development expenses also include depreciation expense and other expenses associated with product development. We plan to increase the dollar amount of our investment in research and development for the foreseeable future as we focus on developing new features and enhancements to our plan offerings. However, we expect our research and development expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over time.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel costs directly associated with our sales and marketing department, online advertising expenses, as well as allocated overhead, including depreciation expense and amortization related to acquired developed technologies. Sales force commissions and bonuses are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions are earned and recorded at contract commencement for both new customer contracts and expansion of contracts with existing customers. Sales commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit of three years. We plan to increase the dollar amount of our investment in sales and marketing for the foreseeable future, primarily for increased headcount for our sales department.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel expenses associated with our finance, legal, human resources and other administrative employees. Our general and administrative expenses also include professional fees for external legal, accounting and other consulting services, depreciation and amortization expense, as well as allocated overhead. We expect to increase the size of our general and administrative functions to support the growth of our business. We also recognized certain non-recurring professional fees and other expenses as part of our transition to becoming a public company and expect to continue to incur additional expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including costs to comply with rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a U.S. securities exchange, costs related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, investor relations and professional services. We expect the dollar amount of our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future. However, we expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over time.
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Interest income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expenses on outstandingexpense related to our line of credit, balanceswhich expired in January 2022, and is offset by interest income earned on our cash and investment balances.
Other IncomeExpense, Net
Other incomeexpense, net primarily consists of sublease rental income from our Seattle, Washingtonforeign currency transaction gains and San Francisco, California offices.losses.
Income Tax Provision
The income tax provision consists of current and deferred taxes for our U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. We have historically reported a taxable loss in our most significant jurisdiction, the U.S.,United States, and

have a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future.

The increase in subscription revenue was primarily driven by revenue from new customers and expansion within existing customers. The total number of customers grew from 21,71829,612 as of March 31, 2019June 30, 2021 to 24,08333,620 as of March 31, 2020.June 30, 2022. Customers contributing over $10,000 in ARR grew 47% versus the prior year and customers contributing over $50,000 in ARR grew 88% versus the prior year. The increase in new customers was primarily driven by our growing

sales force capacity to meet market demand. Expansion within existing customers was driven by our ability to increase the number of users, social profiles and products purchased by customers. This is in part attributable to the expansion of use-cases across various functions within our existing customers’ organizations.

This is in part attributable to the expansion of use-cases across various functions within our existing customers’ organizations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the below non-GAAP financial information, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, operating results or future outlook.
33

However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. 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, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash used inprovided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash used inprovided by our core operations that, after the purchases of property and equipment, is not available to be used for strategic initiatives. For example, if free cash flow is negative, we may need to access cash reserves or other sources of capital to invest in strategic initiatives. One limitation of free cash flow is that it does not reflect our future contractual obligations. Additionally, free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources were not materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental responses to address the pandemic and the related economic impact during the first quarter of 2020.six months ended June 30, 2022. For further discussion regarding the future potential impacts of COVID-19 and the related economic impacts on our liquidity and capital resources, see “Outlook” and “Part II - “Risk Factors” in Part I—Item 1A - Risk Factors”.of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2020,June 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $137.4$68.6 million, marketable securities of $113.1 million and net accounts receivable of $12.3$24.9 million. WeHistorically, we have generated losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations, as evidenced by our accumulated deficit and historical statement of cash flows. However, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated positive cash flows from operations. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future due to the investments in our business we intend to make as described above. We may experience greater than anticipated operating losses in the short- and long-term if the COVID-19

pandemic and the governmental responses to address the pandemic and any re-emergence of COVID-19 persist for a prolonged period of time. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers and our operations going forward remains uncertain, and we continue to proactively monitor our liquidity position.
Prior to our IPO in December 2019, we financed our operations primarily through private issuance of equity securities and line of credit borrowings. In our IPO, we received net proceeds of $134.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.5 million and offering expenses of $5.2 million. We subsequently received an additional $10.0 million of net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions in January 2020 as a result of the over-allotment option exercise by the underwriters of our IPO. In August 2020, we received $42.1 million of net proceeds from our equity follow-on offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been to fund operations and invest in capital expenditures.
36

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our subscription growth rate, subscription renewal activity, billing frequency, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers and our operations, the timing and extent of spending to support our research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of our product. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products and technologies, including intellectual property rights. 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, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
SVB Credit Facility
In December 2017, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, which comprised a $15.0 million line of credit, or the Revolver, and a $5.0 million incremental revolving line commitment, or the Incremental Revolver, and, together with the Revolver, the SVB Credit Facility.
In November 2019, we amended the SVB Credit Facility to increase the Revolver (including the exercise of the Incremental Revolver, as amended) to $40.0 million and amend,amended, among othersother terms, levels for the minimum adjusted EBITDA and minimum liquidity covenants, the advance rate and the interest rate. The November 2019 amendment includes a “streamline period”, or Streamline Period, concept, which occurs when we maintain, for every consecutive day in the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the sum of (i) unrestricted cash at SVB plus (ii) unused availability under the Revolver in an amount equal to or greater than $75.0 million (the Streamline Balance). Any Streamline Period terminates on the earlier of the occurrence of an event of default and failure to maintain the Streamline Balance. The minimum adjusted EBITDA and minimum liquidity covenants do not apply during any Streamline Period. As of March 31, 2020, we did not have any outstanding principal balance under the SVB Credit Facility.
In connection with the November 2019 amendment, the Revolver now has a floating interest rate equal to the greater of (i) 4.75% and (ii) (x) at any time when the Streamline Period is not in effect, one and one-half of one percent (1.50%) above the prime rate and (y) at any time when the Streamline Period is in effect, the prime rate, which interest is payable monthly. The SVB Credit Facility maturesexpired by its terms on January 31, 2022.
The SVB Credit Facility contains customary negative covenants that limit our ability to, or require mandatory prepayment in the event that we, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or liens, merge with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, acquire
other companies, engage in new lines of business, add new offices or business locations, make certain investments, pay dividends, transfer or dispose of certain assets, liquidate or dissolve and enter into various specified transactions. The SVB Credit Facility also contains affirmative covenants, including certain financial covenants such as

minimum adjusted EBITDA and minimum liquidity covenants and financial reporting requirements. With limited exceptions, our obligations under the SVB Credit Facility are secured by all of our property other than intellectual property (which is subject to a negative pledge). As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants in the SVB Credit Facility.

Operating Activities
Our largest source of operating cash is cash collections from our customers for subscription services. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel costs across the sales and marketing and research and development departments and hosting costs. Historically, we have generated negative cash flows from operating activities. However, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated positive cash flows from operating activities.
Net cash used inprovided by operating activities during the threesix months ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2022 was $4.5$6.7 million, which resulted from a net loss of $10.5$24.4 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $7.5$32.6 million and net cash outflow of $1.5$1.6 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $3.5$21.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.1$1.9 million of depreciation

and intangible asset amortization expense, $1.6$8.5 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, which were primarily commissions, $0.9 million for bad debt expense and $0.3$0.4 million of amortization of right-of-use, or ROU, operating lease assets. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $2.5$13.0 million increase in deferred commissions due to the addition of new customers and expansion of the business, a $2.1 million increase in gross accounts receivable, a $0.3$2.3 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, as well as a $0.6$1.3 million decrease in operating lease liabilities. These outflows were primarily offset by a $4.3$10.9 million increase in deferred revenue.revenue and a $4.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net cash used inprovided by operating activities during the threesix months ended March 31, 2019June 30, 2021 was $3.9$8.0 million, which resulted from a net loss of $5.2$11.8 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $2.7$17.6 million and net cash outflowinflow of $1.4$2.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $1.1$9.4 million of stock-based compensation expense, $2.0 million of depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense, $1.0$5.4 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, which were primarily commissions, and $0.3 million of amortization of right-of-use, or ROU operating lease assets and $0.2 million for bad debt expense.assets. The net cash outflowinflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $1.5$10.8 million increase in deferred revenue, a $1.0 million decrease in gross accounts payablereceivable, and other accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments, a $1.2$2.9 million decrease in prepaid expenses. These inflows were primarily offset by a $9.5 million increase in deferred commissions due to the addition of new customers and expansion of the business, a $2.0 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, and a $0.8$0.9 million increasedecrease in accounts receivable due to the growth of our business. These outflows were offset by a $2.6 million increase in deferred revenue.operating lease liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the threesix months ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2022 was $0.3$44.7 million, which was primarily due to $106.8 million in purchases of computer equipment and hardware.

marketable securities, partially offset by $63.1 million in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities.
Net cash used in investing activities for the threesix months ended March 31, 2019June 30, 2021 was $0.2$14.6 million, which was primarily due to $63.2 million in purchases of computer equipment and hardware.marketable securities, partially offset by $49.0 million in proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.5 million, primarily driven by $1.2 million in payments related to employee withholding taxes as a result of the net settlement of stock-based awards, partially offset by $0.7 million in proceeds from purchases under our employee stock purchase plan.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the threesix months ended March 31, 2020June 30, 2021 was $6.9$0.4 million, which was primarily the result of $10.0$1.7 million from the disgorgement of net proceeds from our salestockholder short-swing profits under Section 16(b) of over-allotment shares to the underwriters of our IPO,Exchange Act, offset by $3.1$1.2 million in payments related to the employee withholding taxes as a result of the net settlement of stock-based awards.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.2 million, which was primarily driven by payments of deferred costs associated with our IPO.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to section titled “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1 of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company’sOur significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, “Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 20192021 included in the Company’sour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2021, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.23, 2022. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the threesix months ended March 31, 2020, other than those described below.June 30, 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize compensation expense for equity awards based on the grant‐date fair value on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period for the award.
Restricted Stock Units
Pursuant to his employment agreement, our President and CEO is eligible to receive awards of fully vested restricted stock units with respect to shares of our Class B common stock under our 2019 Class B Incentive Plan, or the Class B Plan, covering up to 1.0% of our fully diluted common equity determined as of the date of our IPO, or 483,663 shares, following the consummation of our IPO, depending on the valuation of the Company in connection with our IPO and the achievement of market capitalization thresholds thereafter, which we refer to as the Howard IPO Award. The initial grant under the Howard IPO Award was based on the valuation of the Company (calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock on its first trading day on The Nasdaq Capital Market on December 13, 2019) and calculated as follows: (i) a valuation between $750,000,000 and $999,999,999, would result in an initial grant under the Howard IPO Award equal to 0.5% of our outstanding fully diluted common equity; (ii) a valuation at least $1,000,000,000 but less than $2,000,000,000, would result in an initial grant under the Howard IPO Award equal to 0.75% of our fully diluted common equity; and (iii) a valuation at least $2,000,000,000, would result in an initial grant under the Howard IPO Award equal to 1.0% of our outstanding fully diluted common equity. No initial grant under the Howard IPO Award would be made as a result of our IPO if the valuation of the Company calculated as described above was below $750,000,000. The initial Howard IPO Award resulted in a grant equal to 0.5% of our fully diluted common equity, or 241,831 shares on December 17, 2019, which settled in March 2020.
If during the twenty-four month period immediately following the effectiveness of our IPO, the Company achieves a “market cap threshold” (calculated based on the 30-day average of the product of the closing price per share of our Class A common stock on a trading day and the number of shares outstanding on such trading day using the treasury stock method) of $1,000,000,000 or greater, Mr. Howard is eligible to receive RSU awards under our Class B Plan equal to: (i) 0.25% of our fully diluted common equity as of the date of our IPO, or 120,916 shares, upon the Company’s achievement of a market cap threshold of $1,000,000,000; and (ii) 0.25% of our fully diluted common equity as of the date of our IPO, or 120,916 shares, upon the Company’s achievement of a market cap threshold of $2,000,000,000, in each case, to the extent the applicable market cap threshold value was not previously achieved in connection with any previous grant made under the Howard IPO Award, and subject to Mr. Howard’s continued service to the Company through each applicable award date. All such RSUs granted pursuant to the Howard IPO Award will be fully vested and the maximum number of Class B common stock issuable upon settlement of such RSUs will not exceed 1.0% of our fully diluted common equity (as described above). In February 2020, Mr. Howard received 120,916 RSUs upon the Company’s achievement of a market cap threshold of $1,000,000,000 which have not yet settled as of March 31, 2020.
In connection with RSUs granted to Mr. Howard pursuant to the Howard IPO Award that immediately vested in February 2020, we recognized $1.4 million of stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter of 2020. Because the maximum company valuation was not achieved as of March 31, 2020, Mr. Howard will remain eligible to receive an additional grant up to the maximum award contemplated by the Howard IPO Award if a certain market capitalization threshold is achieved during the first twenty-four months following the completion of our IPO (as described above). We expect that the remaining compensation expense to be recognized in connection with the Howard IPO Award will be $0.6 million.


JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that have not made this election. While we have elected to use this extended transition period, to date we have not delayed the adoption of any applicable accounting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $137.4$68.6 million as of March 31, 2020, allJune 30, 2022, the majority of which was invested in money market accounts.accounts and money market funds. We also had marketable securities of $113.1 million which were invested in investment-grade corporate bonds, commercial paper, treasury securities and asset-backed securities. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk with respect to the interest income generated. Additionally, certain of these cash investments are maintained at balances beyond Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, coverage limits or are not insured by the FDIC. Accordingly, there may be a risk that we will not recover the full principal of our cash investments.investments and marketable securities. To date, fluctuations in interest income have not been significant. Because these accounts are highly liquid, we do not have material exposure to market risk. Our cash is held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
We did not have any outstanding debt during the period under our $40.0 million revolving credit line as of March 31, 2020. The line of credit carries a variable interest rate equal to the greater of (i) 4.75% and (ii) (x) at any time when the Streamline Period is not in effect, one and one-half of one percent (1.50%) above the prime rate and (y) at any time when the Streamline Period is in effect, the prime rate and is available throughwhich expired on January 31, 2022. See “Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—SVB Credit Facility.”
We have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our financial statements.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We are not currently subject to significant foreign currency exchange risk as our U.S. and international sales are predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we have some foreign currency risk related to a small amount of sales denominated in Canadian dollars. Sales denominated in Canadian dollars reflect the prevailing U.S. dollar exchange rate on the date of invoice for such sales. Decreases in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar may negatively affect revenue and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. We do not believe that an immediate ten percent increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollars would have a material effect on operating results.
We have not engaged in the hedging of foreign currency transactions to date. However, as our international operations expand, our foreign currency exchange risk may increase. If our foreign currency exchange risk increases in the future, we may evaluate the costs and benefits of initiating a foreign currency hedge program in connection with non-U.S. dollar denominated transactions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, has 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, or the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2020. Because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as discussed below,June 30, 2022. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’sas of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were notare effective asto provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. In light of this,SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including theour CEO and CFO, has performed additional analyses, reconciliations and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Previously reported material weakness
In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined by the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting relatedappropriate, to the control environment component of Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO framework, due to an insufficient complement of personnel possessing the appropriate accounting and financial reporting knowledge and experience during the year ended December 31, 2018 in order to determine the appropriate accounting for non-recurring transactions and transactions requiring more complex accounting judgment. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on aallow timely basis.
During 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2020, management continued to implement remediation initiatives in response to the previously identified material weakness, including but not limited to, hiring additional qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel and further evolving our accounting processes, including those designed to strengthen our review process related to accounting for non-recurring transactions and transactions requiring more complex accounting judgment. While we believe that these efforts have improved and will continue to improve our internal control over financial reporting, remediation of the material weakness will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles. Therefore, this material weakness has not been remediated as of March 31, 2020. This deficiency could result in additional misstatements to our consolidated financial statements that would be material and would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
Our remediation efforts are ongoing and subject to continued management review supported by ongoing design and testing of our framework of internal controls over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding the material weakness, our management has concluded the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP.decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal controls
Other than implementation of the initiatives to remediate the material weakness noted above, there wereThere have been no changes in our internal controlscontrol over financial reporting during the period covered by this

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company will have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Other thanUse of Proceeds from Initial Public Offering of Class A Common Stock

On December 17, 2019, we closed our IPO at a price to the risk factors set forth below, there havepublic of $17.00 per share. The offer and sale of the shares in our IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-234316), which was declared effective on December 12, 2019.
There has been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report (under the heading “Risk Factors” ) in response to Part 1, Item 1A of the Form 10-K.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are unpredictable and may materially affect our customers and how we operate our business, and the duration and extent to which the pandemic continues to threaten our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was identified. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has adversely affected businesses, economies and financial markets worldwide and has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets.
Examples of how COVID-19 may impact our business, results of operations and Class A common stock price include, but are not limited to:
COVID-19 may cause companies to decrease marketing and social media spending, making it more difficult for us to acquire new customers, as well as retain and upsell existing customers. A key factor in our ability to acquire a new customer and retain and increase the spending of an existing customer is the customer’s marketing or social media budget. The economic stress of COVID-19 may cause companies to decrease or freeze their marketing and social media budget. This may prevent prospective customers from converting to paying customers and prevent existing customers from renewing an existing subscription or increasing their spending with us or cause our existing customers to terminate their subscriptions. We may experience longer sales cycles and greater uncertainty regarding our sales pipeline for a given quarter. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 could reduce interest in our webinars, blogs, thought leadership and social media engagement, thereby reducing traffic to our web properties and free trials. A reduction in volume or quality of our inbound marketing funnel could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
Customers may be less likely to pay us on-time or at all. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and the quarter ended March 31, 2020, 99% of our revenue was from subscriptions. Customers under economic stress from COVID-19 may be less willing or may be unable to pay our invoices as they become due. This could, in-turn, cause a decrease in our revenue, an increase in our account receivables and the aging of our accounts receivables.
COVID-19 and related government responses to address the COVID-19 pandemic may cause sudden and extreme changes in our Class A common stock price. Since COVID-19 was first reported, the volatility of U.S. equity markets increased to historic levels. This has caused extreme fluctuationschange in the market priceplanned use of our Class A common stock. We cannot predict if and when these fluctuations will decrease or increase. In addition to general market conditions,IPO proceeds from that described in the market price of our Class A common stock could be volatile or decline due to actual or anticipated impact of COVID-19 on our financial condition and results of operations or if our results of operations do not meet the expectations of the investor community or one or more of the analysts who cover our company change their recommendations regarding our company.

The duration and extent of the impact on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time (e.g., the severity and transmission rate of the virus, the extent and effectiveness of containment measures, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers, vendors and partners, including their respective productivity). Furthermore, our limited operating history combinedfinal prospectus filed with the uncertainty created bySEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the COVID-19 pandemic significantly increases the difficulty of forecasting operating results and of strategic planning. If we are unable to effectively predict and manage the impact of the COVID-19 pandemicSecurities Act on our business, our results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted.December 13, 2019.
