8X8, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

8x8, Inc. ("8x8" or the "Company") was incorporated in California in February 1987, and was reincorporated in Delaware in December 1996.

The Company is a leading cloud provider of enterprise Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") communications solutions that enable businesses of all sizes to communicate faster and smarter across voice, video meetings, chat, and contact centers, transforming both employee and customer experiences with communications that work simply, integrate seamlessly, and perform reliably. From one proprietary cloud technology platform, customers have access to unified communications, team collaboration, video conferencing, contact center, data and analytics, and other services. Substantially all revenue is generated from communication services subscriptions and platform usage. The Company also generates revenue from sales of hardware and professional services, which are complementary to the delivery of our integrated technology platform.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. The March 31, 2020 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet disclosures in this document were derived from audited consolidated financial statements and do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K"). There were no material changes during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, to our significant accounting policies as described in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, except for the accounting policies described herein that were updated as a result of adopting Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-03, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, further amended by various ASUs, and ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The results of operations and cash flows for the periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods or the entire fiscal year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company conducts its operations through one reportable segment.

In the opinion of the Company's management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to allowance for credit losses, returns reserve for expected customer credits or cancellations, fair value of and/or evaluation for impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, capitalization of internally developed software, benefit period for deferred sales commission costs, stock-based compensation expense, discount rate used to calculate operating lease liabilities, income and sales tax liabilities, fair value of convertible senior notes, litigation, and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on known facts and circumstances, historical experience, and various other assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

RECLASSIFICATIONS AND OTHER CHANGES

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company determined that presenting service revenue as revenue from the Company's core communication services would provide transparency and clarity to the users of the financial statements. As such, the Company reclassified certain revenue and cost of revenue on its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. Professional services revenue and cost of professional services revenue previously reported in service revenue and cost of service revenue are now reported in other revenue and cost of other revenue. Product revenue and cost of product revenue are also now reported in other revenue and cost of other revenue. The reclassifications did not have any impact on total revenue, consolidated net loss, or cash flows.

In addition, certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016‑13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaces the existing impairment model with a forward-looking expected loss method. Under this update, on initial recognition and at each reporting period, an entity is required to recognize an allowance that reflects the entity's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument. For trade receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, an entity is required to use a forward-looking expected loss model to recognize credit losses that are probable. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis as of April 1, 2020, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Company's beginning accumulated deficit balance; the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of the Company’s customers, and external market factors, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which makes modifications to disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on April 1, 2020. The impact of the adoption was immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis effective April 1, 2020. The impact of the adoption was immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The amendment will be effective for public companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, which is fiscal 2022 for the Company; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating two of the three accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. The guidance also addresses how convertible instruments are accounted for in the diluted earnings per share calculation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, which is fiscal 2023 for the Company; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements.

The Company presents disaggregated revenue by geographic regions in Note 13. Geographical Information.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets, and deferred revenues from contracts with customers (in thousands):

						December 31, 2020						March 31, 2020
Accounts receivable, net						$	50,404					$	37,811
Contract assets, current, net (included in Other current assets)						$	12,002					$	10,425
Contract assets, non-current, net (included in Other assets)						$	15,688					$	13,698

Table of Contents

Changes in the contract assets and deferred revenue balances during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (in thousands):

						December 31, 2020						March 31, 2020						Change
Contract assets						$	27,690					$	24,123					$	3,567
Deferred revenue						$	20,783					$	8,224					$	12,559

The increase in contract assets was primarily driven by the recognition of revenue that had not yet been billed, net of amounts billed during the period, and the reserve for credit losses. The increase in deferred revenue was due to billings in advance of performance obligations being satisfied, net of revenue recognized for services rendered during the period. Revenue of $0.7 million and $5.7 million was recognized during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company's subscription terms typically range from one to five years. Contract revenue from remaining performance obligations that had not yet been recognized as of December 31, 2020, was approximately $365 million. This excludes contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. The Company expects to recognize revenue on most of the remaining performance obligations over the next 36 months.

Deferred Sales Commission Costs

Amortization of deferred sales commission costs was $7.3 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $20.1 million and $13.8 million, for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no material write-offs of deferred sales commission costs during these periods.

Certificate of deposit represents the Company's letter of credits securing leases for office facilities, the balance of which is included in Restricted cash, current and Restricted cash, non-current on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company considers its investments available to support its current operations and has classified all investments as available-for-sale securities. The Company does not intend to sell any of its investments that are in unrealized loss positions and, as of December 31, 2020, has determined that it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis.

The Company regularly reviews the changes to the rating of its securities at the individual security level by rating agencies and reasonably monitors the surrounding economic conditions to assess the risk of expected credit losses. As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any risk of expected credit losses.

As of December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company's outstanding convertible senior notes (the "Notes") was $527.8 million, which was determined based on the closing price for the Notes on the last trading day of the reporting period. The estimated fair value is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to limited trading activity of the Notes.

5. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

In July 2019, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares and equity interests of Wavecell, Pte. Ltd. As of September 30, 2020 the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were finalized. Of the $10.4 million cash and 394,515 shares (equivalent to $8.5 million at acquisition) that were held back, the Company released $3.5 million of cash and 116,505 shares on the one-year anniversary of the acquisition. The remaining balance was released in January 2021.

Lease Assignment

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company entered into a 132-month lease agreement (the "Agreement") with CAP Phase I, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Landlord"), to rent approximately 162,000 square feet of office space in a new building in San Jose, California. The lease term began on January 1, 2019. On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into an assignment and assumption (the "Assignment") of the Agreement with the Landlord, and Roku Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Roku"), whereby the Company assigned to Roku the Agreement. Pursuant to the Assignment, the Company expects to be released from all of its obligations under the lease and related standby letter of credit by the end of the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, or shortly thereafter. The Company also expects to receive the reimbursement of base rent and direct expenses from Roku by the end of the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, in accordance with the Assignment.

Amounts related to the Agreement are not included in the right-of-use asset or lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020 or March 31, 2020. The remaining obligations related to the Assignment of $2.8 million and the termination fee of $0.8 million are recorded in Other accrued liabilities and Other liabilities, non-current, respectively, and the expected receivable of $6.4 million due in February 2021 is recorded in Other current assets, on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Other Commitments, Indemnifications, and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company receives inquiries from federal and various state and municipal taxing agencies with respect to the remittance of sales, use, telecommunications, excise, payroll, and income taxes. Several jurisdictions are currently conducting tax audits of the Company's records. The Company collects taxes from its customers or has accrued for taxes that it believes are required to be remitted. Amounts that have been remitted have historically been within the accruals established by the Company. The Company adjusts its accrued taxes when facts relating to specific exposures warrant such adjustment. The Company continues to conduct periodic review of the taxability of certain of its services that may be subject to sales, use, telecommunications, or other similar indirect taxes in certain jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company had accrued contingent indirect tax liabilities of $4.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

The Company, from time to time, may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and other proceedings, including patent infringement claims, employment litigation, regulatory compliance matters, and contractual disputes, that can arise in the normal course of the Company's operations. The Company recognizes a provision when management believes information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates it is probable a loss has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company adjusts the amount of the provision to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company does not have any material provisions for any such lawsuits, claims and proceedings and believes it is not probable that a loss had been incurred. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. While there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained, the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Future litigation could be costly to defend, could impose significant burdens on employees and cause the diversion of management's attention, and could, upon resolution, have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

9. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES AND CAPPED CALL

Convertible Senior Notes

In February 2019, the Company issued $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% convertible senior notes (the "Initial Notes") due 2024 in a private placement, including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional notes. The total net proceeds from the debt offering, after deducting initial purchase discounts, debt issuance costs, and costs of the capped call transactions described below, were approximately $245.8 million.

In November 2019, the Company issued an additional $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% convertible senior notes (the "Additional Notes," and together with the Initial Notes, the "Notes") due 2024 in a registered offering under the same indenture as the Initial Notes. The total net proceeds from the Additional Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts, debt issuance costs, and costs of the capped call transactions described below, were approximately $64.6 million. The Additional Notes constitute a further issuance of, and form a single series with, the Initial Notes. Immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Additional Notes, the Company had $362.5 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and interest is payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2020. The Notes will mature on February 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed, or converted.

Each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes are initially convertible into 38.9484 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $25.68 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or following the Company's issuance of a notice of redemption, in each case as described in the Indenture, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding October 1, 2023, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances:

1.At any time during any calendar quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2019 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

2.During the five business day period immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period (the measurement period), if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock on each such trading day and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

3.If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

4.Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events (as set forth in the indenture governing the Notes).

On or after October 1, 2023, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company's discretion. The Company’s current intent is to settle the principal amount of the Notes in cash upon conversion. During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the conditions permitting conversion of the Notes were not met.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to February 4, 2022. On or after February 4, 2022, the Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes, at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if the last reported sale price of the common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a redemption notice. If a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) occurs at any time, holders of Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Table of Contents

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, effectively junior in right of payment to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of current or future subsidiaries of the Company.

The net carrying amount of the liability component of the Notes was as follows (in thousands):

						December 31, 2020						March 31, 2020

Capped Call

In connection with the pricing of the Initial Notes and Additional Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions ("Capped Calls") with certain counterparties. The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of approximately $25.68 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes. The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $39.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are expected to partially offset the potential dilution to the Company’s Common Stock upon any conversion of the Notes, with such offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 14.1 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Capped Calls are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified extraordinary events affecting the Company, including merger events, tender offers and announcement events. In addition, the Capped Calls are subject to certain specified additional disruption events that may give rise to a termination of the Capped Calls, including nationalization, insolvency or delisting, changes in law, failures to deliver, insolvency filings, and hedging disruptions. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions and not part of the terms of the Notes. The Capped Calls meet certain accounting criteria to be recorded in stockholders' equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The costs of the Capped Calls, $33.7 million in connection with the Initial Notes and $9.3 million in connection with the Additional Notes, were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and will not be remeasured.

Total unrecognized compensation expense at period-end						$	157,416					$	128,463

During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted 5.7 million shares of RSU and 1.0 million shares of PSU, of which, 28,467 shares of PSU vested based on market based conditions during the period.

The PSU awards granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 are based on Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") as measured relative to the S&P Software Services Select Industry Index over performance periods ranging from one to three years. All PSU awards vest 100% at the end of the respective performance periods. A number of shares equal to 100% of the target opportunity will be earned in the event that the Company’s performance matches that of the specified index during the relevant period. A 2x multiplier will be applied for each percentage point of positive or negative relative TSR, such that the number of shares of common stock earned will increase or decrease by 2% of the target number of shares, subject to a maximum of 200% of the target number of shares. In the event that the Company’s relative TSR performance is less than negative 30%, relative to the specified index, no shares will be earned for the applicable performance period. The PSU were valued for compensation expense purposes at $29.07 per weighted average share as determined by Monte Carlo simulations using volatility factors ranging from 55.66% to 60.68% and risk-free rates ranging from 0.15% to 0.18%.

The RSU awarded during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 were valued at $17.12 per weighted average share based on the closing sales price of the Company's stock on the grant date.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

In July 2020, 329,430 shares were purchased and issued under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2020, there was a total of $1.5 million of unrecognized compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.32 years. As of December 31, 2020, a total of 3,252,882 shares were available for issuance under the ESPP.

Stock Repurchases

Table of Contents

In May 2017, the Company's board of directors authorized the 2017 Repurchase Plan under which the Company could purchase up to $25.0 million of its common stock. The remaining amount available at December 31, 2020 was approximately $7.1 million. There were no stock repurchases during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rate was (0.8)% and (0.6)% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and (0.6)% for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The difference in the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate was primarily due to the full valuation allowance the Company continues to maintain against its deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the income tax provision by net loss before income tax expense.

12. NET LOSS PER SHARE

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As discussed in the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly those set forth under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, as modified by those in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report for the three months ended June 30, 2020 on Form 10-Q under the heading "Risk Factors."

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a leading software-as-a-service ("SaaS") provider of voice, video, chat, contact center, and enterprise-class application programming interface ("API") solutions powered by one global cloud communications platform. From our proprietary cloud technology platform, organizations across all their locations and employees globally have access to unified communications, team collaboration, video conferencing, contact center, data and analytics, communication APIs, and other services, enabling them to be more productive and responsive to their customers.

Our customers represent companies ranging from small businesses to large multinational enterprises, and their users are spread across more than 150 countries. In recent years, we have increased our focus on the mid-market and enterprise customer categories.

We have a portfolio of cloud-based offerings made available at different rates varying by the specific functionalities, services, and number of users. We generate service revenue from communication services subscriptions and platform usage. We generate other revenues from the sales and rentals of office phones and other hardware equipment, and professional services. We define a “customer” as one or more legal entities to which we provide services pursuant to a single contractual arrangement. In some cases, we may have multiple billing relationships with a single customer (for example, where we establish separate billing accounts for a parent company and each of its subsidiaries).

Our flagship service is our 8x8 X Series, a next generation suite of unified communications as a service ("UCaaS") and contact center as a service ("CCaaS") solutions, which consist of service plans of increasing functionality designated X1, X2, etc., through X8. With 8x8 X Series, we provide enterprise-grade voice, unified communications, video meetings, team collaboration, and contact center functionalities from a single platform. We also offer standalone SaaS services for contact center, video meetings, and enterprise communication APIs. Through our July 2019 acquisition of Wavecell Pte. Ltd., an Asia-based global communication platform as a service ("CPaaS") provider of SMS, messaging, voice and video APIs to enterprises, we expanded our API offerings both geographically and functionally. We expect to continue integrating these services into our platform, as we believe in the value of the collective solutions.

As of December 31, 2020, over 90% of our customers have been migrated to the 8x8 X Series platform and we intend to migrate substantially all of our remaining customers through the end of the fiscal year. These migrations may require us to incur professional services and related engineering costs. While we may not be able to recover these costs from our customers, we believe that we will realize other benefits including reducing the number of platforms that we are required to support and improved customer retention.

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, our total service revenue grew 15.2% year-over-year to $127.1 million. We continued to show an increase in our average annualized service revenue per customer, which grew to $8,705 in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, compared with $8,248 in the same period of fiscal 2020, as we are selling more to mid-market and enterprise customers. Service revenue from mid-market and enterprise customers represented 48% of total service revenue and grew 25% compared to the same three-month period in the prior year. We increased the number of bundled deals where customers purchase our integrated communications and contact center solutions.

Our continued business focus is on achieving improved operating efficiencies while delivering revenue growth. We continue to make important investments in our products and technology platform, and focus on key areas of spend in our go-to-market strategy. Additionally, we aim to drive efficiencies in our small business customer acquisition and operations, and are focused on expanding our business upmarket with mid-market and enterprise customers. We believe that effective execution will enable the Company to grow and capture market share, during this phase of industry disruption, in a cost-effective way and support the Company in pursuit of its path to profitability and operating cash flow improvement.

Table of Contents

In the remainder of fiscal 2021, we plan to continue making investments in activities to acquire more customers, including global expansion and investing in our direct marketing efforts, sales force, e-commerce, and outbound marketing efforts. We also intend to continue investing in our indirect channel programs to acquire more third-party selling agents to help sell our solutions, including investments in our value added resellers ("VARs") and master agent programs. Should these investments not result in additional revenue from new or existing customers, including as result of adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and/or these cost reduction and efficiency efforts do not result in meaningful savings, our operating results may be adversely impacted.

NEW CEO APPOINTMENT

On December 10, 2020, we appointed David Sipes as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors.

IMPACTS OF COVID-19

The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including those set forth under the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, as modified by the "Risk Factors" section of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2020. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world have enacted various measures, some of which have been subsequently rescinded, modified or reinstated, including orders to close non-essential businesses, isolate residents to their homes, and practice social distancing. To protect the health and safety of our employees, our workforce continues to spend a significant amount of time working from home with many of our offices around the world remaining closed and travel being curtailed for our employees, as well as our customers, as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to surge and retreat in various locations globally. These restrictions have altered the ways we conduct sales activities and market to current and prospective customers and how we conduct our ongoing business operations, resulting in reductions in travel related expenses and, by some measures, has resulted in improved employee productivity in certain areas. Small business and mid-size customers have been more impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic than enterprise customers, which has necessitated greater flexibility and responsiveness to our customers' evolving needs. While we anticipate that the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, including any resurgences, and the measures enacted to slow its spread will negatively impact certain business activity across the globe combined with the limited availability of vaccines, to date, it has not resulted in as significant a negative impact on our business, as initially anticipated. We continue to proactively and closely monitor the health of our customers and suppliers and other impacts of the pandemic to determine whether risks of loss or other negative impacts upon our business exist. The effects of COVID-19 have also been considered in management's judgments around credit loss impairments.

COMPONENTS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Service Revenue

Service revenue consists of communication services subscriptions, platform usage revenue, and related fees from our UCaaS, CCaaS, and CPaaS offerings. We plan to continue to drive our business to increase service revenue through a combination of increased sales and marketing efforts, geographic expansion of our customer base outside the United States, innovation in product and technology, and through strategic partnerships and other business development.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists primarily of revenues from sales and rentals of IP telephones in conjunction with our cloud telephony service, and revenues from professional services, primarily in support of deployment of our solutions and/or platform. Other revenue is dependent on the number of customers who choose to purchase or rent an IP telephone in conjunction with our service instead of using the solution on their cell phone, computer, or other compatible device, and/or choose to engage our services for implementation and deployment of our cloud services.

Cost of Service Revenue

Cost of service revenue consists primarily of costs associated with network operations and related personnel, technology licenses, amortization of internally developed software, other communication origination and termination services provided by third-party carriers and outsourced customer service call center operations, and other costs such as customer service, and technical support costs. We allocate overhead costs such as IT and facilities to cost of service revenue, as well as to each of the operating expense categories, generally based on relative headcount. Our IT costs include costs for IT infrastructure and personnel. Facilities costs primarily consist of office leases and related expenses.

Cost of Other Revenue

Cost of other revenue consists primarily of direct and indirect costs associated with the purchasing of IP telephones as well as the scheduling, shipping and handling, personnel costs and related expenditures incurred in connection with the professional services associated with the deployment and implementation of our products, and allocated IT and facilities costs.

Table of Contents

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, third-party development and related work, software and equipment costs necessary for us to conduct our product and platform development and engineering efforts, and allocated IT and facilities costs.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, sales commissions, trade shows, advertising and other marketing, demand generation, channel costs, promotional expenses, and allocated IT and facilities costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, professional services fees, human resources, legal, employee recruiting, general management, and allocated IT and facilities costs.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net consists primarily of interest expense related to the convertible notes, offset by income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, and foreign exchange gains/losses.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of state minimum taxes in the United States and foreign income taxes. As we expand the scale of our international business activities, any changes in the U.S. and foreign taxation of such activities may increase our overall provision for income taxes in the future. We have a valuation allowance for our U.S. deferred tax assets, including federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized by way of expected future taxable income in the United States.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. All dollar amounts herein are in thousands unless otherwise noted.

Revenue

Service revenue						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	127,107					$	110,363					$	16,744					15.2		%
Percentage of total revenue						93.0		%				93.1		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	362,232					$	301,547					$	60,685					20.1		%
Percentage of total revenue						93.4		%				92.9		%

Service revenue increased for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year primarily due to a net increase in our customer base, expanded offerings to existing customers, and growth in related usage; service revenue from new customers was primarily driven by sales of standalone and bundled UCaaS and CCaaS deals, globally, to our mid-market and enterprise customers. The increase in service revenue was also attributable to growth in usage revenue generated by our CPaaS products primarily in the APAC region.

We expect total service revenue to grow over time with our expanding platform offering as our business continues to expand globally and across broader customer categories.

Other revenue						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	9,578					$	8,204					$	1,374					16.7		%
Percentage of total revenue						7.0		%				6.9		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	25,393					$	23,212					$	2,181					9.4		%
Percentage of total revenue						6.6		%				7.1		%

Table of Contents

Other revenue increased during the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2020, compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was driven by professional services revenue resulting from the overall growth in our business and customer base, partially offset by a decrease in product revenue as a result of shift towards hardware rental program.

We expect other revenue to grow over time, while we focus on delivering higher margin platform offerings to existing and new customers.

No customer represented greater than 10% of the Company's total revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of service revenue						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	47,044					$	40,786					$	6,258					15.3		%
Percentage of service revenue						37.0		%				37.0		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	132,843					$	101,899					$	30,944					30.4		%
Percentage of service revenue						36.7		%				33.8		%

Cost of service revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2020, increased compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year period, primarily due to a $5.1 million increase in communication infrastructure costs incurred to deliver our services resulting from growth in usage across our platform including those in connection with CPaaS, a $1.7 million increase in amortization of capitalized software, and a $1.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and a $0.6 million decrease in employee and consulting related expenditures.

Cost of service revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, increased over the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to $25.4 million increase in communication infrastructure costs incurred to deliver our services, primarily due to growth in usage across our platform including those in connection with CPaaS, a $5.6 million increase in amortization of capitalized software, and a $3.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.7 million in employee and consulting related expenditures and a decrease of $1.5 million in depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.

We expect that cost of service revenue will increase in absolute dollars over time as revenue continues to grow.

Cost of other revenue						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	13,364					$	15,433					$	(2,069)					(13.4)		%
Percentage of other revenue						139.5		%				188.1		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	36,194					$	41,708					$	(5,514)					(13.2)		%
Percentage of product revenue						142.5		%				179.7		%

Cost of other revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, decreased compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a decrease in cost of products as a result of decrease in hardware shipment volume, improved pricing, and increase in our hardware rental program, which has better margins than hardware sales.

Operating Expenses

Research and development						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	23,702					$	19,870					$	3,832					19.3		%
Percentage of total revenue						17.3		%				16.8		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	66,763					$	57,635					$	9,128					15.8		%
Percentage of total revenue						17.2		%				17.7		%

Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020, increased compared to the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.7 million lower allocation to capitalized software costs, and a $0.4 million increase in amortization of capitalized software. These increases were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in employee and consulting related expenditures, a $0.4 million decrease in travel related costs, and a $0.2 million decrease in facility related costs.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, increased compared to the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to a $9.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $1.1 million increase in public cloud expenses, and a $0.9 million increase in amortization of capitalized software. These increases were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in travel related costs, a $0.6 million decrease in the cost for computer supplies, and an increase in the capitalization of internally developed software costs of $0.3 million.

We plan to continue to invest in research and development to support our efforts to expand the capabilities and scope of our platform and to enhance the user experience. While we expect to continue to improve our cost structure and achieve operational efficiencies, we expect that research and development expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we continue to invest in our development efforts, and vary from period-to-period as a percentage of revenue.

Sales and marketing						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	63,986					$	63,099					$	887					1.4		%
Percentage of total revenue						46.8		%				53.2		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	185,535					$	174,593					$	10,942					6.3		%
Percentage of total revenue						47.9		%				53.8		%

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020, increased slightly over the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $3.4 million increase in channel commissions, and a $2.2 million increase in amortization of deferred sales commission costs. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease of $8.8 million in marketing program and public cloud expenses due to gained efficiencies in lead generation and brand awareness, travel related costs, and employee and consulting related expenditures.

Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, increased over the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to a $9.5 million increase in channel commissions, a $7.7 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $6.2 million increase in amortization of deferred sales commission costs, and a $4.8 million increase in employee and consulting related expenditures, and a $2.3 million increase in marketing software and application costs. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease of $19.9 million in marketing program and public cloud expenses due to gained efficiencies in lead generation and brand awareness and travel related costs.

We plan to continue investing in sales and marketing to attract and retain customers on our platform and to increase our brand awareness. While we expect to continue to improve our cost structure and achieve operational efficiencies, we expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods and vary from period-to-period as a percentage of revenue.

General and administrative						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	23,844					$	22,547					$	1,297					5.8		%
Percentage of total revenue						17.4		%				19.0		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	72,403					$	62,589					$	9,814					15.7		%

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2020, increased as compared to the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in employee and consulting related expenditures, including CEO succession costs, and $0.6 million higher allowance for credit losses, partially in response to external market factors and uncertainties in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.5 million decrease in acquisition and integration costs.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, increased over the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, a $3.4 million increase in employee and consulting related expenditures, including CEO succession costs, $2.6 million higher allowance for credit losses, partially in response to external market factors and uncertainties in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, a $2.3 million increase in tax related expense, and a $1.5 million increase in depreciation expense. These increases were partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in acquisition and integration costs and a $1.5 million decrease in contract termination costs.

We expect to continue improving our cost structure and achieve operational efficiencies, and therefore also expect that general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue will decline over time.

Other expense, net						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	4,669					$	3,623					$	1,046					28.9		%
Percentage of total revenue						3.4		%				3.1		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	13,772					$	7,919					$	5,853					73.9		%
Percentage of total revenue						3.6		%				2.4		%

Other expense, net of other income increased for the three months ended December 31, 2020, over the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to $0.7 million of lower interest income and a $0.7 million increase in expense related to contractual interest, amortization of debt discount, and amortization of issuance costs associated with additional convertible notes issued in November 2019. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in other income and impacts from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Other expense, net of other income for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, increased over the same prior fiscal year period, primarily due to $3.4 million of lower interest income and a $2.8 million increase in expense related to contractual interest, amortization of debt discount, and amortization of issuance costs associated with additional convertible notes issued in November 2019. These increases were partially offset by $0.5 million of higher other income.

With the recognition of interest expense and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs in connection with our convertible senior notes, we expect to continue to be in a net expense position for the foreseeable future.

Provision for income taxes						2020						2019						Change
Three months ended December 31,						$	301					$	280					$	21					7.5		%
Percentage of loss before provision for income taxes						(0.8)		%				(0.6)		%
Nine months ended December 31,						$	666					$	684					$	(18)					(2.6)		%
Percentage of loss before provision for income taxes						(0.6)		%				(0.6)		%

We estimate our annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarter. In estimating the annual effective tax rate, we consider, among other things, annual pre-tax income, permanent tax differences, the geographic mix of pre-tax income and the application and interpretations of existing tax laws. We record the tax effect of certain discrete items, which are unusual or occur infrequently, in the interim period in which they occur, including changes in judgment about deferred tax valuation allowances. The determination of the effective tax rate reflects tax expense and benefit generated in certain domestic and foreign jurisdictions. However, jurisdictions with a year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the annual effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, we had $152.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, we had restricted cash including $8.6 million in support of letter of credits securing leases for office facilities and $6.9 million held in escrow for our acquisition of Wavecell in July 2019, pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, $3.5 million of restricted cash was released, and the remaining amount of $6.9 million held in escrow for our acquisition of Wavecell was released in January 2021. By comparison, at March 31, 2020, we had $186.9 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments and $19.0 million of restricted cash.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was passed into law, which amended portions of relevant tax laws and provided relief to certain qualifying entities. In connection with the CARES Act, the Company elected to defer certain employer payroll taxes, which reduced cash usage by $5.0 million through December 31, 2020. The amounts deferred will be remitted to tax authorities during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023, respectively, when they become due. Other jurisdictions around the world have also provided similar tax relief, which the Company has elected to receive, where applicable; these benefits have a lesser impact to our expected cash flows during fiscal 2021.

In June 2020, the Company offered its employees a limited opportunity to receive a portion of their cash salary in shares of the Company's common stock. Based on employee elected participation, we expect lower cash usage from payroll compensation of over $4 million during fiscal 2021. In addition, for fiscal 2021, the Company's executives received performance share units in place of a cash bonus plan. The timing of bonus payments for all other eligible employees was changed to semi-annually (in the third and first quarter of each fiscal year) from quarterly as in prior fiscal years.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we expect to receive $6.4 million of operating cash inflows from our Lease Assignment. Refer to Note 7. Leases in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances, and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, was $14.9 million, compared with $62.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Cash used in operating activities was affected by:

•the amount of net income or loss;

•the amount of depreciation and amortization;

•the amortization associated with deferred sales commissions, debt discount and issuance costs;

•the expense associated with stock-based compensation; and

•changes in working capital accounts, particularly in the timing of collections from receivable and payments of obligations, such as commissions.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was primarily related to the net loss of $120.6 million, net cash outflow from sales commissions of $21.1 million, which were partially offset by non-cash charges such as stock-based compensation expense of $74.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $34.1 million, amortization of debt discount of $12.6 million, and operating lease expenses of $11.5 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $27.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2020, compared with $84.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2019. The cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2020, was related to capitalized internal software development costs of $22.9 million, purchases of $5.0 million of property and equipment, and $3.5 million release of cash held in escrow associated with an acquisition during the second quarter of fiscal 2020, partially offset by $4.2 million of proceeds from maturities and sales of investments, net of purchase.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2020, compared with $65.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 was primarily related to the proceeds from issuance of common stock under the ESPP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES & ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

With the exception of changes described within Part I, Item 1, Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", due to the adoption of ASU 2016-03, there have been no significant changes during the three months ended December 31, 2020, to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted, see Item 1 of Part I, "Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk

We had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments totaling $168.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Cash equivalents and investments were invested primarily in money market funds, U.S. treasury, commercial paper, and corporate bonds. Our investment policy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity needs. Under the policy, we invest in highly rated securities, while limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer other than the U.S. government. We do not invest in financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. We utilize external investment managers who adhere to the guidelines of our investment policy. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on the value of our cash, cash equivalents, or available-for-sale investments.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $362.5 million or aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes outstanding, which had an estimated fair value was $527.8 million. The fair value of the convertible senior notes is subject to interest rate risk, market risk, and other factors due to the conversion feature. The fair value of the convertible senior notes will generally increase as our common stock price increases and will generally decrease as our common stock price declines. The interest and market value changes affect the fair value of the convertible senior notes but do not impact our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligation. Additionally, we carry the convertible senior notes at face value less unamortized discount on our consolidated balance sheets, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the British Pound, causing both our revenue and our operating results to be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates.

Gains or losses from the revaluation of certain cash balances, accounts receivable balances, and intercompany balances that are denominated in these currencies impact our net income (loss). A hypothetical decrease in all foreign currencies against the US dollar of 10% would not result in a material foreign currency loss on foreign-denominated balances for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020. As our foreign operations expand, our results may be more impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which we do business.

At this time, we do not, but we may in the future, enter into financial instruments to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Disclosure Controls) that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of December 31, 2020.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our Disclosure Controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be

considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
