Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (“FiscalNote,” or the “Company”) is a leading technology provider of global policy and market intelligence. It delivers critical, actionable legal and policy insights in a rapidly evolving political, regulatory and macroeconomic environment. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) technology, other technologies with analytics, workflow tools, and expert peer insights, FiscalNote empowers customers to manage policy, address regulatory developments, and mitigate global risk. FiscalNote ingests unstructured legislative and regulatory data, and employs AI and data science to deliver structured, relevant and actionable information in order to facilitate key operational and strategic decisions by global enterprises, midsized and smaller businesses, government institutions, trade groups, and nonprofits. FiscalNote delivers that intelligence through its suite of public policy and issues management products. The Company is headquartered in Washington, D.C. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s balance sheet and its results of operations, including its comprehensive loss, temporary equity, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 . Liquidity and Going Concern Historically the Company’s cash flows from operations have not been sufficient to fund its current operating model and the Company funded operations through raising equity and debt. The Company's ability to maintain its minimum cash requirement, fund its future cash interest requirements under its senior term loan and fund its operations depend in part on general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company continues to closely monitor expenses to assess whether any immediate, or long-term changes, are necessary to maintain compliance with its financial covenants. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were $ 44.5 million at March 31, 2024, compared with $ 24.4 million at December 31, 2023. Further, the Company had a negative working capital balance of $ 38.5 million (excluding cash and short-term investments) at March 31, 2024 and had an accumulated deficit of $ 765.8 million and $ 816.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has incurred net losses of $ 21.0 million (excluding the effect of the gain on sale of business) and $ 19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management expects that significant on-going operating and capital expenditures will be necessary to continue to implement the Company’s business plan of entering new markets, future acquisitions, and infrastructure and product development. In addition, as disclosed in Note 8, “Debt”, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants. The Company’s ability to maintain compliance with these financial covenants are based on the Company’s current expectations regarding continued growth in revenues, collections, cost structure, current cash burn rate and other operating assumptions. The Company believes our cash on hand at March 31, 2024, proceeds from our expected product sales, and available borrowings under our Senior Term Loan for certain acquisition activity, will be sufficient to meet our obligations and our required covenants for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing . Segments The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Over the past several years, the Company has completed a number of acquisitions. These acquisitions have allowed the Company to expand its offerings, presence, and reach in various market segments. While the Company has offerings in multiple market segments and operates in multiple countries, the Company’s business operates in one operating segment because the Company’s CODM evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources, and assesses the performance of these resources, on a consolidated basis. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the if-converted method (convertible debt instruments) or treasury-stock method (warrants and share-based payment arrangements). For purposes of this calculation, common stock issuable upon conversion of debt, options and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company has elected the fair value option on the subordinated convertible promissory notes issued as part of the Dragonfly acquisition, refer to Note 4, "Business Combinations" and Note 8, "Debt" for further details, and for the New GPO Note and Era Convertible Notes, refer to Note 8, "Debt" for further details. The Company records changes in fair value through the condensed consolidated statement of operations where the portion of the change that results from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk is recorded separately in accumulated other comprehensive income, if applicable. Additionally, under the fair value option, all issuance costs are expensed in the period that the debt is incurred. Investments The Company has invested in highly liquid investments that have investment-grade ratings. These investments are accounted for at fair value through the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company is able to easily liquidate these into cash; accordingly, the Company has presented these investments as available for current operations and are presented as short-term investments within current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Purchases and sales of short-term investments are classified in the investing section of our consolidated statement of cash flows. Concentrations of Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company generally maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various nationally recognized financial institutions. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at times exceed amounts guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company considers cash on deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2024 , approximately 77 % of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Company does not require collateral for accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for its doubtful accounts receivable due to estimated credit losses. This allowance is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days billings are past due, collection history of each customer, an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with delinquent accounts and current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss patterns. The Company records the allowance against bad debt expense through the condensed consolidated statements of operations, included in sales and marketing expense, up to the amount of revenues recognized to date. Any incremental allowance is recorded as an offset to deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Receivables are written off and charged against the recorded allowance when the Company has exhausted collection efforts without success. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , allowance for credit losses of $ 1,120 and $ 1,252 , respectively, was included in the accounts receivable, net balance. No single customer accounted for more than 10 % of the Company's accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Revenue derived from the U.S. Federal Government was 17 % of revenue for both of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of both of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , assets located in the United States were approximately 85 % percent of total assets. As of March 31, 2024 one vendor accounted for more than 10 % of the Company's accounts payable balance. No vendors individually accounted for more than 10 % of the Company’s accounts payable as of December 31, 2023 . During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, one vendor represented more than 10 % of the total purchases made. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") guidance with respect to measuring credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate now reflects an entity's current estimate of all future expected credit losses. Under the previous guidance, an entity only considered past events and current conditions. The Company adopted ASC 2016-13 on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a $ 212 cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable changed from $ 468 at December 31, 2022 to $ 680 at January 1, 2023 . In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (ASC 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (ASC 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") guidance modifying the requirements for the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The modifications eliminate certain accounting models for convertible debt instruments, eliminate certain requirements for equity classification of embedded derivatives and align earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments. The Company adopted ASC 2020-06 on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASC 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280) guidance for segment reporting. The new guidance amends segment reporting to include significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning with our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim periods and is required to be disclosed retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have a significant impact on our disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The amendments in the ASU enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization, disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption allowed. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures. |

Acquisitions and Dispositions | Note 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions 2024 Disposition On March 11, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to sell the equity of the Company's subsidiary owning and operating its Board.org business ("Board.org") with Exec Connect Intermediate LLC (the “Buyer”). On March 11, 2024, after adjustments based on Board.org’s working capital, indebtedness and transaction expenses, as well as retention payments payable to certain employees of Board.org, the Company received $ 90,905 in cash (excluding $ 785 of the purchase price that was deposited into escrow to satisfy certain potential post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims and including $ 21 of cash acquired by the Buyer). The Company is entitled to receive an earn-out payment of up to $ 8,000 , less the amount of certain retention payments potentially owing to the former Board.org employees, if the Board.org business achieves specified revenue targets for fiscal year 2024. The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and indemnification obligations of the parties customary for transactions similar to those contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. As a result of the sale of Board.org, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain on disposal of $ 71,599 , inclusive of the $ 785 of funds placed in escrow that the Company anticipates receiving and $ 50 of estimated post-closing purchase price adjustment which are included in other current assets. The proceeds from the sale of Board.org were used in part to prepay $ 65,700 of term loans under the Company’s Credit Agreement, and pay $ 7,068 of related prepayment and exit fees associated with the retired amount. The remaining $ 18,137 of net proceeds were retained by the Company for general corporate purposes. As part of the sale the Company recorded a current tax liability for federal and state income tax of $ 1,448 and a non-cash deferred tax charge of $ 280 . The Company determined that Board.org was not a significant subsidiary, and the disposition of Board.org did not constitute a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results. As a result, the results of operations for Board.org were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of ASC 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements." Pursuant to the Employee Lease Agreement entered into in connection with the closing of the sale of Board.org, the Company is the employer of record for the Board.org employees. Under the terms of the Employee Lease agreement, the Company is responsible for the payment of salaries and benefits to the Board.org employees at the direction of the buyer, until the buyer legally assumes those employees. The Company will be reimbursed by the buyer for the actual costs incurred pursuant to the Employee Lease Agreement. Accordingly, at March 31, 2024 the Company is due $ 378 from the buyer for payroll and benefit costs paid by the Company during the period from March 11, 2024 to March 31, 2024, which has been presented in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement in connection with the closing of the sale of Board.org whereby the Company will provide certain transitional support services for a period of time following the closing and the buyer will reimburse FiscalNote for certain direct costs of those services. No material costs were incurred under the Transition Services Agreement during the period from March 11, 2024 to March 31, 2024. 2023 Acquisition Dragonfly Acquisition On January 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement for all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Dragonfly Eye Limited ("Dragonfly"), a UK- based SaaS-based geopolitical and security intelligence provider of actionable data and analysis delivered through Dragonfly's SaaS-based, proprietary Security Intelligence and Analysis Service subscription platform and API.

The Company incurred expenses of $ 1,272 in connection with the transaction during the year ended December 31, 2023 (inclusive of $ 446 of amounts paid on January 27, 2023 that were recognized as expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023). The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for Dragonfly consisted of the following: Cash $ 5,617 Fair value of Class A common stock 9,539 Fair value of Seller Convertible Notes 8,635 Fair value of contingent consideration 1,445 Total $ 25,236 The Class A common stock issued as consideration as part of the acquisition of Dragonfly represents non-cash activity on the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Certain employees of Dragonfly are eligible for employee earnout bonus awards ("Employee Earnout Awards") based on 2024 revenue targets. The Employee Earnout Awards are subject to forfeiture in the event that Dragonfly does not achieve its revenue target or these employees terminate their employment. Any Employee Earnout Awards that are forfeited are reallocated to the other eligible employees.

Acquisitions and Dispositions | 2. Business Combination with DSAC On July 29, 2022, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 7, 2021, and as amended on May 9, 2022, (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among FiscalNote Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old FiscalNote”), Duddell Street Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“DSAC”), and Grassroots Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of DSAC (“Merger Sub” and, together with DSAC, the “DSAC Parties”). Pursuant to these transactions, Merger Sub merged with and into Old FiscalNote, with Old FiscalNote becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of DSAC (the “Business Combination” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”). In connection with the closing of the Transactions, DSAC domesticated and continued as a Delaware corporation under the name of “FiscalNote Holdings, Inc.” (“New FiscalNote”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “FiscalNote,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the business of Old FiscalNote, which became the business of New FiscalNote and its subsidiaries following the closing on July 29, 2022. Subseq uent to the closing of the Business Combination, the Company's Class A common stock and public warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “NOTE” and “NOTE WS,” respectively. The Company accounted for the Business Combination as a reverse recapitalization whereby Old FiscalNote was determined as the accounting acquirer and DSAC as the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Old FiscalNote issuing stock for the net assets of DSAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of DSAC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination Agreement, FiscalNote also entered into the Credit Agreement with Runway Growth Finance Corp., ORIX Growth Capital, LLC, Clover Orochi LLC, and ACM ASOF VIII SaaS FinCo LLC (together the “New Senior Lenders”), pursuant to which a new senior term loan was consummated simultaneously with the Closing (the "Senior Term Loan"). |

Goodwill [Roll Forward] | |
Goodwill | 7. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but are rather tested for impairment at least annually as of October 1 of each year. The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill, which are generally not deductible for tax purposes, are as follows: Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 187,703 Sale of Board.org ( 23,022 ) Impact of foreign currency fluctuations ( 347 ) Balance at March 31, 2024 $ 164,334 Due to the decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization in the first quarter of 2023, and the underperformance of the Company’s ESG reporting unit compared to internal projections, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2023. This quantitative assessment resulted in all the goodwill in our ESG reporting unit being impaired; accordingly, an impairment charge of $ 5,837 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Prior to the quantitative goodwill impairment the Company tested the recoverability of its long-lived assets, and concluded that such assets were not impaired. The fair value estimate of the Company's reporting units was derived based on an income approach. Under the income approach, the Company estimated the fair value of reporting units based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, which the Company considers to be a Level 3 unobservable input in the fair value hierarchy. The Company prepared cash flow projections based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration the historical performance and the current macroeconomic, industry, and market conditions. The Company based the discount rate on the weighted-average cost of capital considering Company-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to our reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Potential indicators of impairment include significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant negative industry or economic trends, or a significant decline in the Company's stock price and/or market capitalization for a sustained period of time. It is reasonably possible that one or more of these impairment indicators could occur or intensify in the near term, which may result in an impairment of long-lived assets or further impairment of goodwill. |

The annual interest of the Senior Term Loan consists of two components: a cash interest component of (a) the greater of (i) Prime Rate plus 5.0 % per annum or (ii) 9.0 % payable monthly, and (b) interest payable in kind component of 1.00 % per annum, payable in kind monthly. The Senior Credit Facility will mature on July 29, 2027 . On March 17, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Credit Agreement dated July 29, 2022.

In connection with the funding of the Incremental Facility, t he Company issued the lender warrants expiring July 15, 2027 , to purchase up to 80,000 Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.01 per share, in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The lender warrants represented a non-cash financing activity. On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2") to the Credit Agreement dated July 29, 2022. Among other things, Amendment No. 2 joined Dragonfly Eye Limited and Oxford Analytica Limited (“Oxford Analytica”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as Guarantors under the Credit Agreement. On August 3, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") to the Credit Agreement dated July 29, 2022. Among other things, Amendment No. 3 provided for: (a) the extension of the July 2023 Deferred Fee from July 29, 2023 to July 29, 2024, (b) the increase of the July 2023 Deferred Fee from $ 1,734 to $ 2,034 , (c) an increase of the Restatement Date Final Agreement from $ 7,410 to $ 8,970 and (d) the revision to the minimum annual recurring revenue ("ARR") and adjusted EBITDA covenants (as both are defined in the Credit Agreement). In connection with the completion of the sale of Board.org on March 11, 2024, the Company also entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment No. 4”), pursuant to which, among other things, the lenders consented to the release of the liens on Board.org’s assets and permitted the consummation of the sale in exchange for the permanent prepayment of $ 65,700 of term loans under the Credit Agreement. The Company also made a payment of $ 1,314 and $ 5,754 of related prepayment and exit fees, respectively. Amendment No. 4 also requires that upon receipt of any earn-out payment pursuant to the equity purchase agreement underlying the sale of Board.org, the Company will prepay outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to 70 % of the net proceeds received from such earn-out payment, together with a prepayment fee and an exit fee, equal to 5.75 % of the amount of such prepayment. In addition, Amendment No. 4 extended the commencement of amortization payments under the Credit Agreement from August 15, 2025 to August 15, 2026, with such payments to fully amortize the term loans by the maturity date of July 15, 2027 . Amendment No. 4 also increased the Company’s minimum liquidity covenant to $ 22,500 and modified the Company’s minimum ARR and adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended) in order to appropriately reflect the sale of Board.org and the absence of its future contributions to the Company’s overall financial performance and position. The Prime Rate in effect for the Senior Term Loan was 8.50 % at March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 4,911 of cash interest and $ 364 of paid-in-kind interest, respectively, on the Senior Term Loan. Paid-in-kind interest is reflected as a component of the carrying value of the Senior Term Loan as the payment of such interest will occur upon the settlement of the Senior Term Loan. The Company may prepay the Senior Term Loan in whole, subject to a 2.0 % prepayment fee if prepaid prior to July 30, 2024, 1.0 % prepayment fee if prepaid after July 30, 2024 but prior to July 30, 2025, and no prepayment fee if prepaid on or after July 30, 2025. The July 2023 Deferred Fee, as previously amended, of $ 2,034 was paid as part of Amendment No. 4. Accordingly, the Company recognized the accretion of the July 2023 Deferred Fee as interest expense through March 11, 2024. Prior to Amendment No. 4, the Company had $ 8,970 of deferred fees due at the earlier of prepayment or maturity of the Senior Term Loan which were amortized over the term of the Senior Term Loan using the effective interest method. On March 11, 2024, and as a result of Amendment No. 4, the Company had $ 5,250 of deferred fees outstanding which the Company recognized the accretion of these deferred fees as interest expense. The $ 1,134 of prepayment fee paid on March 11, 2024 was treated as a debt discount. The amortization recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 is $ 646 a nd $ 149 , respectively, and is included within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The remaining unamortized debt discount at March 31, 2024 is $ 4,629 , excluding any deferred fees, and is reflected net against debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Senior Term Loan is senior to all other debt and has a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Senior Term Loan contains customary negative covenants related to borrowing, events of default and covenants, including certain non-financial covenants and covenants limiting the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, undergo a change in control, merge with or acquire stock, and make investments, in each case subject to certain exceptions. In addition to the negative covenants, there were four financial covenants in place at March 31, 2024 : a minimum cash balance requirement, minimum ARR requirement, an adjusted EBITDA requirement and a capital expenditure limitation. As of, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, in addition to the lenders being able to declare amounts outstanding under the Senior Term Loan due and payable the lenders can elect to increase the interest rate by 5.0 % per annum. New GPO Note On June 30, 2023 (the “Subscription Date”), the Company entered into an Exchange and Settlement Agreement (the “Exchange and Settlement Agreement”) with GPO FN Noteholder LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which (i) the Investor returned 5,881,723 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Investor to the Company for cancellation, (ii) the Company issued to the Investor a subordinated convertible promissory note in an initial principal amount of $ 46,794 (the “New GPO Note”), and (iii) the parties agreed to a mutual settlement and release of all claims including, but not limited to, any claims by the Investor for additional shares or money damages resulting from the entry into the Merger Agreement, relating to or arising from the conversion of the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Subordinated Promissory Note, dated December 29, 2020, previously issued by a subsidiary of the pre-business combination FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. to the Investor. The exchange and settlement are non-cash exchanges in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The before mentioned transactions closed on July 3, 2023. The New GPO Note will mature on July 3, 2028 , unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted in accordance with the terms thereof. The New GPO Note bears interest at a rate of 7.50 % per annum payable quarterly in arrears, as follows: (i) for the first year following the date of issuance, interest will be payable in kind by adding interest to the principal amount of the New GPO Note; and (ii) for any period thereafter, interest will be payable in cash or freely tradeable shares of Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s option, with the value per share determined with reference to the trailing 30-day volume weighted average trading price prior to the interest payment date, subject to certain exceptions under which the Company will be permitted to pay PIK Interest. The New GPO Note is subordinate to the Company’s obligations under its Senior Term Loan which limits certain actions that the Company and the Investor may take under the New GPO Note. At any time prior to the July 3, 2028, the Investor is entitled to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the New GPO Note and accrued interest thereon into shares of Class A Common Stock at $ 8.28 per share (adjusted to $ 6.89 on April 11, 2024 pursuant to the terms of the New GPO Note as a result of the issuance of the Additional Fee Shares to Era as described in Note 18, "Subsequent Events"). The New GPO Note is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for stock sp lits and similar transactions and, subject to standard exceptions, weighted average anti-dilution protection. The principal amount, together with accrued interest thereon, of the New GPO Note is redeemable by the Company in whole or in part based on certain conditions as defined in the New GPO Note. The Company elected to account for the New GPO Note using the fair value option. The New GPO Note was recorded at its June 30, 2023 acquisition date fair value of $ 36,583 . The Company initially recorded a loss contingency of $ 11,700 in its fiscal year 2022 financial statements representing the difference between the fair value of the shares returned by the Investor and the fair value of the New GPO Note on the date of exchange. With the execution of the Exchange and Settlement Agreement and New GPO Note, the Company recorded an additional non-cash loss on settlement with GPO of $ 3,474 in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair market value at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $ 33,252 and $ 36,954 , respectively. The unrealized change in the fair value of the New GPO Note of $ 4,443 is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income for the period ended March 31, 2024 and the non-cash gain of $ 180 was recorded in the change in fair value of financial instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company incurred total interest expense related to the new GPO note of $ 921 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Convertible Notes At March 31, 2024 , the holders of four convertible notes that were previously issued by Old FiscalNote (the “Convertible Notes”) with a principal and accrued PIK balance of $ 14,557 remain outstanding. The Company incurred total interest expense related to the Convertible Notes, including the amortization of the various discounts, of $ 598 and $ 515 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Dragonfly Seller Convertible Notes In connection with the Company's acquisition of Dragonfly, the Company financed part of the purchase with the issuance of convertible notes. The Dragonfly Convertible Notes were issued in a principal amount of £ 8.9 million pounds sterling (approximately $ 11,050 on the closing date of the acquisition), with interest at an annual rate of 8 %, which can be paid in cash or paid-in-kind. The paid-in-kind interest will be annually credited to the principal amount. All principal and accrued interest are due upon maturity on January 27, 2028 . At any time after August 2, 2023, the Company can convert any portion of the principal and accrued interest at the volume weighted-average price for the five consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the calendar month preceding the date the Company provides notice of conversion to the Sellers. At any time after the 18 month anniversary of the Dragonfly acquisition closing date, the lender has the right to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest for FiscalNote common stock at $ 10.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to common stock. The Company elected to account for the Dragonfly Seller Convertible Notes using the fair value option. The Dragonfly Seller Convertible Notes were recorded at their acquisition date fair value of $ 8,635 . The fair market value at March 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023 was $ 7,857 and $ 9,002 .

The Company incurred total interest expense related to the Dragonfly Seller Convertible Notes of $ 241 and $ 153 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Era Convertible Notes In connection with the Company’s strategic commercial partnership, the Company issued a convertible note to Era, a third-party lender, dated December 8, 2023 for $ 5,500 on December 8, 2023 (the "Issuance Date"). Pursuant to the terms of the December 8, 2023 convertible note, the Company issued that same third-party lender a second convertible note for $ 801 on January 5, 2024 (collectively, the "Era Convertible Notes"). The Era Convertible Notes were issued in a principal amount of $ 6,301 , with cash interest at a rate equal to the applicable federal rate published by the Internal Revenue Service beginning on the six-month anniversary of the Issuance Date. All principal and unpaid interest are due on maturity at December 8, 2027 . The Era Convertible Notes are contractually subordinated to the Company’s obligations under its senior secured indebtedness, and accordingly, the Company’s right to make certain cash payments in connection therewith is limited by the terms of such subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”). Era may convert the Notes into shares of Common Stock (the “Underlying Shares”), beginning on the six-month anniversary of the Issuance Date based on the volume weighted average price of the trailing 30 trading day period prior to the conversion. In addition, the Company may elect to convert the Era Convertible Notes into the Underlying Shares if the Underlying Shares are registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the copilot agreement (the "Co-Pilot Agreement") entered into by and among the Company, FiscalNote Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and Era on December 8, 2023, the Company agreed to issue Era up to an additional $ 3,105,105 in the form of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock no later than June 2024 (the "Partnership Shares"). The Co-Pilot Agreement requires the Company to issue additional shares of Common Stock (“Additional Shares”) to Era if Era’s sales of the Partnership Shares and the Underlying Shares do not generate aggregate cash proceeds to Era that equal or exceed approximately $ 9.5 million during the sell-off period set forth in the Co-Pilot Agreement. Any such Additional Shares would be valued based on the volume weighted average price of the trailing 30 trading day period, calculated prior to the date of any such issuance. The Company elected to account for the Era Convertible Notes using the fair value option. The Era Convertible Note dated December 8, 2023 was recorded at its acquisition date fair value of $ 5,500 . The Era Convertible Note Dated January 5, 2024 was recorded at its acquisition date fair value of $ 801 . The fair market value of the Era Convertible Note dated December 8, 2023 was $ 5,977 at December 31, 2023. The fair market value of the two Era Convertible Notes was $ 8,461 at March 31, 2024. The non-cash loss was recorded in the change in fair value of financial instruments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the amount of a loss of $ 1,683 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Aicel Convertible Note In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Aicel, the Company assumed a convertible note (“Aicel Convertible Note”) issued by Aicel in a private placement to a third-party lender dated July 27, 2022. The Aicel Convertible Note was issued in a principal amount of $ 1,131 , with paid-in-kind interest at an annual rate of 1 %. All principal and accrued and unpaid interest are due on maturity at July 27, 2027 . The Aicel Convertible Note provides for no prepayments until maturity without written consent of the lender. The Aicel Convertible Note can be converted upon the occurrence of certain events, including (i) Aicel initial public offering (“IPO”), (ii) change in control of Aicel (the acquisition of Aicel by FiscalNote did not constitute a change in control as defined in the purchase agreement), or (iii) sale of substantially all of Aicel’s assets (collectively, a “Conversion Event”). The Company has the right to convert the Aicel Convertible Note into shares of common stock issued in an IPO, if (a) the Conversion Event is an IPO and (b) the price per share paid in an IPO is greater than the stipulated initial conversion price. The lender has the right to elect to convert the Aicel Convertible Note into shares of common stock upon the occurrence of a Conversion Event. At any time after the second anniversary of the Aicel acquisition closing date until the earlier of (a) the Aicel Convertible Note maturity date, or (b) the occurrence of any liquidity event, the lender has the right to require FiscalNote to repurchase the outstanding principal in exchange for FiscalNote common stock. The lender will receive a number of shares of FiscalNote equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued interest divided by the FiscalNote common stock price and rounded to the nearest whole share. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, in addition to the lenders being able to declare amounts outstanding under the Aicel Convertible Note due and payable the lenders can elect to increase the paid-in-kind interest rate to 12.0 % per annum. The Company concluded that the contingent default interest provision was required to be bifurcated and treated as an embedded derivative liability. The associated value was immaterial and required no initial amount to be recorded and continues to be immaterial as of the reporting date . The Company determined that the remaining embedded features were clearly and closely related to the debt host and did not require bifurcation from the debt host. The Aicel Convertible Note was recorded at its acquisition fair value of $ 1,131 . The Company incurred total interest expense related to the Aicel Convertible Note of $ 19 and $ 3 du ring the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. PPP Loan On April 13, 2020, the Company received funding in the principal amount of $ 8,000 under the CARES Act. Interest accrues annually at 1 %. On February 14, 2022, the SBA forgave $ 7,667 of the PPP Loan with the remaining balance of $ 333 to be repaid over five years . The Company recognized the forgiveness of PPP Loan as a gain on debt extinguishment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in 2022. As of March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $ 67 of the remaining PPP Loan as short-term debt and $ 50 as lon g-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total Debt The following table summarizes the total estimated fair value of the Company's debt as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These fair values are deemed Level 3 liabilities within the fair value measurement framework.

Earnout Shares and RSUs The shareholders and other equity holders of Old FiscalNote as described below are entitled to receive up to 19,195,100 additional shares of Class A common stock of New FiscalNote (the “Earnout Awards”) in the form of Earnout Shares or as shares reserved for issuances upon settlement of Earnout RSUs, as described below. The Earnout Awards are split into five tranches each consisting of 3,839,020 shares of Class A common stock in New FiscalNote. Certain Old FiscalNote equity holders will receive Earnout Restricted Stock Units (the “Earnout RSUs”), which are settled in Class A common stock. The right to receive Earnout Awards will expire five years after the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”). Each tranche of the Earnout Awards will be issued only when the dollar volume-weighted average price of one share of New FiscalNote Class A common stock is greater than or equal to $ 10.50 , $ 12.50 , $ 15.00 , $ 20.00 , or $ 25.00 , respectively, for any 10 trading days within any period of 20 consecutive trading days during the Earnout Period (collectively, the “Triggering Events”).

Holders of unvested Old FiscalNote options and unvested Old FiscalNote RSUs outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date will be entitled to receive their proportionate allocation of Earnout Shares in the form of Earnout RSUs subject to achievement of the Triggering Event. To the extent the equity award issued upon New FiscalNote's assumption of such any Old FiscalNote Option or Old FiscalNote RSU (each a “Converted Award”) is outstanding and has vested as of the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the holder thereof will receive a proportionate allocation of Earnout Shares in lieu of Earnout RSUs. If a Converted Award is forfeited after the Closing Date but prior to the Triggering Event, no Earnout RSUs will be issued for such Converted Award. The right to receive Earnout RSUs that have been forfeited shall be reallocated pro-rata to the remaining holders of vested Converted Awards in the form of Earnout Shares and unvested Converted Awards in the form of Earnout RSUs in the manner described above. Reallocated Earnout RSUs are subject to the remaining vesting schedule and conditions of the Converted Award held by such equity holder. The forfeiture and subsequent reallocation of the Earnout RSUs are accounted for as the forfeiture of the original award and the grant of a new award. A portion of the Earnout Shares that may be issued to Old FiscalNote common stockholders, Old FiscalNote vested option holders and Old FiscalNote warrant holders and all of the Earnout RSUs were determined to represent additional compensation for accounting purposes pursuant to ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”.

The remaining Earnout Shares were determined to represent an equity transaction in conjunction with the reverse recapitalization and were evaluated pursuant to ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. These remaining Earnout Shares will be accounted for as a liability as the arrangement is indexed to something other than the Company’s stock. The liability is revalued at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a non-operating gain or loss in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The liability of $ 68 was recorded in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Each public warrant and private placement warrant is exercisable for 1.571428 shares of New FiscalNote Class A common stock (or an aggregate of up to 24,750,000 shares of New FiscalNote Class A common stock). During the three months ended March 31, 2024 , no public warrants were exercised into shares of Class A common stock. No private placement warrants have been exercised to date. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024, the Company had 8,358,964 public warrants and 7,000,000 private placement warrants outstanding with a per share fair value of $ 0.44 . These warrants are accounted for as a liability and have a fair value of $ 3,840 at March 31, 2024. Public Warrants Each public warrant entitles the registered holder to acquire 1.571428 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $ 7.32 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. The warrants became exercisable on August 29, 2022. Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. The public warrants will expire on July 29, 2027 , or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Redemption of warrants for cash The Company may call the public warrants for redemption for cash: • in whole and not in part; • at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant; • upon a minimum of 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and • if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $ 11.45 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of the Company’s Class A common stock and equity-linked securities) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company for cash, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of warrants for shares of Class A common stock The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for shares of Class A common stock: • in whole and not in part; • at $ 0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A common stock (as defined below) except as otherwise described below; • if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $ 6.36 per share (as adjusted per stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of the Company’s Class A common stock and equity-linked securities) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and • if and only if, the private placement warrants are also concurrently exchanged at the same price (equal to a number of shares of our Class A common stock) as the outstanding public warrants, as described above. • The “fair market value” of the Class A common stock shall mean the average of the last reported sales price for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.567 shares of Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment). Private Placement Warrants The private placement warrants are not redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the sponsor of DSAC or its permitted transferees, except in certain limited circumstances. The DSAC Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis and the DSAC Sponsor and its permitted transferees has certain registration rights related to the private placement warrants (including the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants).

If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the DSAC Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants. |

The 2022 Plan allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. The number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2022 Plan increases on the first day of each calendar year, starting on January 1, 2023 and continuing through and including January 1, 2027, by the lesser of (a) 13,523,734 , (b) three percent ( 3 %) of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on December 31st of the immediately preceding fiscal year or (c) a lesser number determined by the Company’s board of directors prior to January 1 of a given year. In accordance with this provision, on each of January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024, the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2022 Plan increased by 3,693,767 and 3,650,394 , respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 1,271,410 stock options and 239,663 restricted stock units. At March 31, 2024 , 7,868,951 stock options, 2,601,649 performance stock options, 5,499,350 restricted stock units, and 75,000 performance based restricted stock units remain outstanding. As of March 31, 2024 , the Company had 4,219,656 shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the 2022 Plan. The Company recognized $ 5,776 and $ 6,404 of stock-based compensation expense for all long term incentive plans in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. The Company recognized $ 169 of stock-based compensation expense related to acquisition earnouts during the three ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In connection with the Business Combination, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) whereby eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions of up to 15 % of their regular base salary to purchase shares at the lower of 85 % of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of commencement of the offering period or on the last day of the six-month offering period. The plan is defined as compensatory, and accordingly, a stock-based compensation charge of $ 99 and $ 102 was recorded as the difference between the fair market value and the discounted purchase price of the Company's common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on January 1st each year, starting on January 1, 2023 and continuing through and including January 1, 2027, by the lesser of (a) 3,267,760 , (b) one percent ( 1 %) of the total number of shares of all classes of Common Stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding fiscal year, or (c) a lesser number determined by the Board prior to January 1 of a given year.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | Note 14. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company has two classes of common stock authorized: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to twenty-five votes per share. The Company allocates undistributed earnings attributable to common stock between the common stock classes on a one‑to‑one basis when computing net loss per share. As a result, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are equivalent. The following is a calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share for the Company's common stock, including a reconciliation between net income attributable to common stockholders used for Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023: (in thousands, except per share data) Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Basic Earnings Per Share Numerator: Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 50,599 $ ( 19,273 ) Denominator: Weighted average common stock outstanding used in basic EPS computations 130,712,032 133,082,639 Basic Earnings Per Share $ 0.39 $ ( 0.14 ) Diluted Earnings Per Share Numerator: Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 50,599 $ ( 19,273 ) If-converted impact on net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders 3,673 - Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for diluted EPS $ 54,272 $ ( 19,273 ) Denominator: Weighted average common stock outstanding used in basic EPS computations 130,712,032 133,082,639 Weighted average effect of dilutive securities 15,315,053 - Weighted average common stock outstanding used in diluted EPS computations 146,027,085 133,082,639 Diluted Earnings Per Share $ 0.37 $ ( 0.14 ) Since the Company was in a net loss position during the three months ended March 31, 2023, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as diluted net loss per share as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have been anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities that were not included in the diluted per share calculations because they would be anti-dilutive were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, Anti-dilutive securities excluded from diluted loss per share: 2024 2023 Anti-dilutive Earnout Awards 19,195,100 19,195,100 Anti-dilutive stock options - 2,033,574 Anti-dilutive Convertible Notes - 2,075,225 Anti-dilutive contingently issuable shares - 1,339,924 Anti-dilutive restricted stock units 5,569,966 7,022,744 Anti-dilutive Aicel Convertible Notes - 112,899 Total anti-dilutive securities excluded from diluted loss per share 24,765,066 31,779,466 |

Provision (Benefit) from Income Taxes | 15. Provision (Benefit) from Income Taxes Effective Tax Rate The Company computes its quarterly and year-to-date provisions for income taxes by applying the estimated effective tax rates to the quarterly and year-to-date pre-tax income or losses and adjusting the provisions for discrete tax items recorded in the periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company reported tax expense of $ 1,426 on pre-tax income of $ 52,025 , which resulted in an effective tax rate of 2.74 percent. The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to the impact of a valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets . During the three months ended March 31, 2024 , the Company recorded a discrete tax charge for the impact of the sale of Board.org of $ 1,729 . For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company reported tax expense of $ 30 on a pre-tax loss of $ 19,243 , which resulted in an effective tax rate of ( 0.16 ) percent .

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had discrete items relating to goodwill impairment, unrecognized tax benefits and the tax impact of interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits. Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Other Considerations The Company records liabilities related to its uncertain tax positions. Tax positions for the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income tax audits by multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the world. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves for its income tax uncertainties in all open tax years. As the outcome of the tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty, if any issues arising in the Company's tax audits progress in a manner inconsistent with management's expectations, the Company could adjust its provision for income taxes in the future. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 , the Company reported an uncertain tax position totaling $ 639 relating to a state tax filing position. The Company has the following activities relating to unrecognized tax benefits for the periods presented: Beginning balances at December 31, 2023 and 2022 $ 639 $ 639 Lapses in statutes of limitations - - Ending balances at March 31, 2024 and 2023 $ 639 $ 639 |

Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s balance sheet and its results of operations, including its comprehensive loss, temporary equity, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 . |
Liquidity and Going Concern | Liquidity and Going Concern Historically the Company’s cash flows from operations have not been sufficient to fund its current operating model and the Company funded operations through raising equity and debt. The Company's ability to maintain its minimum cash requirement, fund its future cash interest requirements under its senior term loan and fund its operations depend in part on general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company continues to closely monitor expenses to assess whether any immediate, or long-term changes, are necessary to maintain compliance with its financial covenants. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were $ 44.5 million at March 31, 2024, compared with $ 24.4 million at December 31, 2023. Further, the Company had a negative working capital balance of $ 38.5 million (excluding cash and short-term investments) at March 31, 2024 and had an accumulated deficit of $ 765.8 million and $ 816.4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has incurred net losses of $ 21.0 million (excluding the effect of the gain on sale of business) and $ 19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management expects that significant on-going operating and capital expenditures will be necessary to continue to implement the Company’s business plan of entering new markets, future acquisitions, and infrastructure and product development. In addition, as disclosed in Note 8, “Debt”, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants. The Company’s ability to maintain compliance with these financial covenants are based on the Company’s current expectations regarding continued growth in revenues, collections, cost structure, current cash burn rate and other operating assumptions. The Company believes our cash on hand at March 31, 2024, proceeds from our expected product sales, and available borrowings under our Senior Term Loan for certain acquisition activity, will be sufficient to meet our obligations and our required covenants for at least the next twelve months from the date of this filing . |
Segments | Segments The Company operates as one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Over the past several years, the Company has completed a number of acquisitions. These acquisitions have allowed the Company to expand its offerings, presence, and reach in various market segments. While the Company has offerings in multiple market segments and operates in multiple countries, the Company’s business operates in one operating segment because the Company’s CODM evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources, and assesses the performance of these resources, on a consolidated basis. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the if-converted method (convertible debt instruments) or treasury-stock method (warrants and share-based payment arrangements). For purposes of this calculation, common stock issuable upon conversion of debt, options and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company has elected the fair value option on the subordinated convertible promissory notes issued as part of the Dragonfly acquisition, refer to Note 4, "Business Combinations" and Note 8, "Debt" for further details, and for the New GPO Note and Era Convertible Notes, refer to Note 8, "Debt" for further details. The Company records changes in fair value through the condensed consolidated statement of operations where the portion of the change that results from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk is recorded separately in accumulated other comprehensive income, if applicable. Additionally, under the fair value option, all issuance costs are expensed in the period that the debt is incurred. |
Investments | Investments The Company has invested in highly liquid investments that have investment-grade ratings. These investments are accounted for at fair value through the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company is able to easily liquidate these into cash; accordingly, the Company has presented these investments as available for current operations and are presented as short-term investments within current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Purchases and sales of short-term investments are classified in the investing section of our consolidated statement of cash flows. |
Concentration Risks | Concentrations of Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company generally maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various nationally recognized financial institutions. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at times exceed amounts guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company considers cash on deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2024 , approximately 77 % of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Company does not require collateral for accounts receivable. The Company maintains an allowance for its doubtful accounts receivable due to estimated credit losses. This allowance is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days billings are past due, collection history of each customer, an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with delinquent accounts and current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments to historical loss patterns. The Company records the allowance against bad debt expense through the condensed consolidated statements of operations, included in sales and marketing expense, up to the amount of revenues recognized to date. Any incremental allowance is recorded as an offset to deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") guidance with respect to measuring credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables. The guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate now reflects an entity's current estimate of all future expected credit losses. Under the previous guidance, an entity only considered past events and current conditions. The Company adopted ASC 2016-13 on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a $ 212 cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable changed from $ 468 at December 31, 2022 to $ 680 at January 1, 2023 . In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (ASC 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (ASC 815-40) ("ASU 2020-06") guidance modifying the requirements for the accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The modifications eliminate certain accounting models for convertible debt instruments, eliminate certain requirements for equity classification of embedded derivatives and align earnings per share calculations for convertible instruments. The Company adopted ASC 2020-06 on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASC 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280) guidance for segment reporting. The new guidance amends segment reporting to include significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning with our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim periods and is required to be disclosed retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have a significant impact on our disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The amendments in the ASU enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization, disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption allowed. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our financial disclosures. |
