2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In management's opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and stockholders' (deficit) equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 ("Annual Report") filed with the SEC. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required under GAAP.
Changes in accounting policies
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies and their application as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
    
Fair value measurement

The Company's financial assets that are included in cash and cash equivalents and that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of $149.7 million and $168.1 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and were invested in treasury money market funds. The fair value of the treasury money market funds is determined based on quoted market prices, which represents level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC 820. See Note 8 for the fair value measurement of convertible notes and related derivatives.

Investments in equity securities of privately held companies or venture funds without readily determinable fair value, where the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee, are recorded at cost, less impairment and adjusted for subsequent observable price changes obtained from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments issued by the same investee. The Company estimates the fair value of its equity investments by considering available information such as pricing in recent rounds of financing and any other readily available market data, which represents level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company identified an observable price change related to an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and recorded a non-cash gain of $3.3 million in other (expense)

income, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the equity securities without readily determinable fair value was $7.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Equity investments are included in other assets, noncurrent in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company determined there were no impairments on its equity investments.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are primarily comprised of trade receivables, net of allowance for credit losses, contract assets and unbilled receivables. The Company records trade accounts receivable for its unconditional rights to consideration arising from the Company's performance under contracts with customers. The Company's standard billing terms are that payment is due upon receipt of invoice, payable generally within thirty to sixty days. The carrying value of such receivables, net of the allowance for credit losses, represents their estimated net realizable value. When developing its estimate of expected credit losses on trade and other receivables, the Company considers the available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows, which includes a combination of both internal and external information relating to past events, current conditions, and future forecasts as well as relevant qualitative and quantitative factors that relate to the environment in which the Company operates.

    Contract assets represent conditional rights to consideration that have been recognized as revenue in advance of billing the customer. Unbilled receivables represent unconditional rights to consideration arising from revenue that have been recognized in advance of billing the customer.
    
Deferred costs

Sales commissions earned by the Company's sales representatives are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a customer contract. Sales commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five to eight years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration its customer contracts, expected renewals of those customer contracts (as the Company currently does not pay an incremental sales commission for renewals), the Company's technology and other factors. The Company also defers amounts earned by employees other than sales representatives who earn incentive payments under compensation plans also tied to the value of customer contracts acquired. Deferred costs were $14.1 million and $14.8 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred costs was $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.4 million and $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization of deferred costs is included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

    Deferred implementation costs

The Company capitalizes certain contract fulfillment costs, including personnel and other costs (such as hosting, employee salaries, benefits and payroll taxes), associated with arrangements where professional services are not distinct from other undelivered performance obligations in its customer contracts. The Company analyzes implementation costs and capitalizes those costs directly related to customer contracts expected to be recoverable to satisfy the undelivered performance obligations in those contracts. Deferred implementation costs are amortized ratably over the remaining contract term once the revenue recognition criteria for the respective performance obligation has been met and revenue recognition commences. Deferred implementation costs were $1.1 million and $1.6 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred implementation costs was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Deferred implementation costs are included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets, noncurrent in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred implementation costs is included in cost of subscription and cost of services revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The impairment review includes comparison of future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets with the associated assets’ carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset or group of assets exceeds its expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded zero impairment charge. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded zero and $1.6 million, respectively, of impairment charge related to fixed assets. The 2022 impairment resulted from the Company's changed intentions for these assets in connection with a new agreement with a software vendor.
    
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company's Annual Report, that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized approximately $52.5 million and $46.0 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized approximately $100.7 million and $86.4 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods and primarily related to subscription, maintenance and support, and services.

    Performance obligations

As of September 30, 2023, the Company expects to recognize approximately $403.9 million of revenue from remaining performance obligations. The Company expects, based on the terms of the related, underlying contractual arrangements, to recognize revenue on approximately $199.0 million of these performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the balance recognized thereafter. Remaining performance obligations represent contractually committed revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.

    The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended, the "ESPP") permits eligible employees to purchase Company shares on an after-tax basis in an amount between 1% and 10% of their annual pay: (i) on June 30 of each year at a
13

Table of Contents
15% discount of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on January 1 or June 30, whichever is lower, and (ii) on December 31 of each year at a 15% discount of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on July 1 or December 31, whichever is lower. An employee may not purchase more than $5,000 in either of the six-month measurement periods described above or more than $10,000 annually.

As of September 30, 2023, 283,117 shares remain authorized and available for issuance under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2023, the Company held approximately $0.6 million on behalf of employees for future purchases under the ESPP, and this amount was recorded in accrued payroll and other employee benefits in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

8. Convertible Senior Notes

The following is a summary of the Company's convertible senior notes as of September 30, 2023 (in thousands):
Date of IssuanceUnpaid Principal BalanceContractual Interest Rates
1% Convertible Notes due in 2024 ("2024 Notes") May 2019 $21,713 1%
1% Convertible Notes due in 2024 ("2024 Notes") - subject to the exchange agreements May 2019 122,037 1%
2.25% Convertible Notes due in 2027 ("2027 Notes")September 2020150,000 2.25%
Total Notes$293,750 

The 2027 and 2024 Notes (collectively, the "Notes") are general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company's indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, are effectively junior to any of the Company's secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries (including trade payables but excluding intercompany obligations owed to the Company or its subsidiaries).

Interest related to the 2027 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2021. Interest related to the 2024 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2019.

The 2027 Notes mature on September 15, 2027 and the 2024 Notes mature on May 15, 2024, unless redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

Each $1,000 of principal of the 2027 Notes will initially be convertible into 23.9137 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $41.82 per share. Each $1,000 of principal of the 2024 Notes will initially be convertible into 15.1394 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $66.05 per share. The initial conversion price for the 2027 and the 2024 Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

On August 23, 2023, the Company entered into legally binding exchange agreements with a limited number of existing holders of the 2024 Notes to exchange approximately $122.0 million aggregate principal amount of the existing 2024 Notes for a principal amount of 2027 Notes at an exchange ratio to be determined based on the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock over a thirty-day trading period beginning August 24, 2023 (such exchange transactions, the “Exchange”). The Exchange will reduce near-term cash required to settle debt obligations.

Although the Exchange was not completed as of September 30, 2023, the Company determined that, from an accounting perspective, the Exchange was a legally binding restructuring of the debt that represented a substantial modification of the terms of the 2024 Notes subject to the Exchange, and therefore is required to be accounted for as an extinguishment transaction. The Company derecognized the portion of the carrying value of the 2024 Notes to be exchanged and recorded the new debt resulting from the substantial modification of terms at fair value as of August 23, 2023, which was approximately $123.3 million, and recorded a $1.8 million loss on debt extinguishment during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The loss on debt extinguishment is included in other (expense) income, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company incurred debt issuance cost of $2.3 million related to the Exchange which is recorded in convertible debt, net and was not paid as of September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

The Company concluded that the variability in the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be issued in connection with the Exchange due to changes in stock price is a feature embedded in the restructured debt that is required to be accounted for as an embedded derivative and remeasured to fair value until settlement. This feature is recorded in convertible debt, net, with an initial value at the time of the transaction equal to zero, and subsequently remeasured as of September 30, 2023 with a fair value of $3.8 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a derivative loss of $3.8 million which is included in other (expense) income, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The estimated fair value was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the Company's stock price, interest rates and the value of the 2027 Notes, which represent level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2023, the 2027 and 2024 Notes are not yet convertible and their remaining term is approximately 47 months and 7 months, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the principal amount of the Notes in the aggregate was $296.3 million and $263.7 million, respectively. The estimated fair value was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the Company's stock price and interest rates, which represents level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

    Capped call transactions

In September 2020 and in May 2019, in connection with the offering of the 2027 and 2024 Notes, respectively, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (collectively, the "Capped Call") with certain option counterparties. The Capped Call transactions cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock initially underlying the Notes, at a strike price that corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes, also subject to adjustment, and are exercisable upon conversion of the Notes. The Capped Call transactions are intended to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock and/or offset any cash payments the Company will be required to make in excess of the principal amounts upon any conversion of Notes, and to effectively increase the overall conversion price of the 2027 Notes from $41.82 to $78.90 per share, and for the 2024 Notes from $66.05 to $101.62 per share. As the Capped Call transactions meet certain accounting criteria, they are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of the Capped Call was $25.3 million and $16.4 million for the 2027 and 2024 Notes, respectively, and was recorded as part of additional paid-in capital.

In August 2023, in connection with the Exchange, the Company entered into additional capped call transactions (the “Additional Capped Call”) with certain option counterparties. The Company will pay a premium to the option counterparties for the Additional Capped Call in an amount to be determined based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock over a thirty-day reference period beginning August 24, 2023. The conversion price of the Additional Capped Call is the same as the 2027 Notes Capped Call above. Initial funding of the Additional Capped Call occurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Additional Capped Call has a deferred premium component indexed to the Company's stock price and required to be settled in cash, and therefore, the Additional Capped Call is a derivative instrument that, at inception, does not meet the qualifications for equity classification. As such, the Company recorded the initial value of the Additional Capped Call of $22.8 million as a derivative asset, noncurrent. As of September 30, 2023, the fair
15

Table of Contents
value of the Additional Capped Call derivative asset was remeasured at $22.3 million and the Company recorded a derivative loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is included in other (expense) income, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The estimated fair value was determined based on valuation methods using inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the Company's stock price and interest rates, and other unobservable inputs such as volatility which represent level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company expects the Additional Capped Call to be reclassified to equity when the deferred premium is settled, and the instrument meets the requirements for equity classification. The final value of the Additional Capped Call upon settlement of the Exchange was $22.2 million, see Note 13 for additional details on the subsequent event.

9. Credit Facility

On July 21, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary PROS, Inc., entered into a three-year secured credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Texas Capital Bank as administrative agent for the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $50.0 million, with interest paid monthly, at a rate per annum equal to the 30-day secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus a 0.10% per annum SOFR adjustment plus an applicable margin of 4.25%. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority interest in and lien on all of the Company's material assets.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants which restrict the ability of the Company to, among other things, create liens, incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain other transactions, in each case subject to certain exclusions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants which become effective in the event the Company's liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) falls below a certain level. The Credit Agreement also has a depository condition which requires the Company to maintain a cash balance of at least $10.0 million with the administrative agent throughout the term of the Credit Agreement. This amount has been included in restricted cash in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and the depository condition in the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2023, $0.8 million of unamortized debt issuance cost related to the Credit Agreement is included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets, noncurrent in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an immaterial amount of amortization of debt issuance cost which is included in other (expense) income, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

    Litigation

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company regularly becomes involved in contract and other negotiations and, in more limited circumstances, becomes involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable. The Company is not currently involved in any outstanding litigation that it believes, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Purchase commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various purchase commitments for goods and services, mainly related to infrastructure platforms, business technology software and support, and other services. In January 2023, the Company entered into a noncancelable agreement for software support services with a four-year term. The remaining purchase commitment as of September 30, 2023 was $3.5 million and the agreement expires in March 2027. There were no other material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the noncancellable purchase commitments disclosed in the Annual Report.

11. Severance and Other Related Costs

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company made certain organizational changes and incurred approximately zero and $3.6 million of severance, employee benefits, outplacement and related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. These costs were recorded primarily as operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, mainly research and development, and sales and marketing. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash payments of $0.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively, were recorded for

13. Subsequent Event

On October 10, 2023, the Company settled the exchange agreements for the exchange of $122.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2024 Notes for newly issued $116.8 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2027 Notes. Following the settlement of the Exchange, $21.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes and $266.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes remain outstanding with terms unchanged. The 2027 Notes issued in the Exchange constitute a further issuance of, and form a single series and will be fungible with, the existing 2027 Notes. As part of the Exchange, the Company settled the deferred premium on the Additional Capped Call resulting in a total final value of $22.2 million.

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

    The terms “we,” “us,” “PROS” and “our” refer to PROS Holdings, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

    This management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read along with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and unaudited notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 ("Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)"), as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations set forth in our Annual Report.

Q3 2023 Financial Overview

In the third quarter of 2023, we continued to grow our subscription revenue, increasing subscription revenue by 16% and 15% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022. Total revenue increased 10% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 each as compared to the same period in 2022.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, recurring revenue (which consists of subscription revenue and maintenance and support revenue) accounted for 84% and 83% of total revenue, respectively. Recurring revenue accounted for 84% of total revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our gross revenue retention rates remained above 93% during the twelve months ended September 30, 2023.

Cash used in operating activities was $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement was primarily due to increases in sales, the related cash collections, interest income and a reduction in cash operating expenses.

Free cash flow is a key metric to assess the strength of our business. We define free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, excluding severance payments, less capital expenditures, purchases of other (non-acquisition-related) intangible assets and capitalized internal-use software development costs. We believe free cash flow may be useful to investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating the amount of cash generated by our business operations. Free cash flow during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $8.5 million, compared to a free cash flow use of $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an improvement of $17.6 million. Free cash flow used during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.3 million, compared to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in both periods was primarily due to increases in sales, the related cash collections, interest income and a reduction in cash operating expenses.

The following is a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measure, net cash used in operating activities (in thousands):

Factors Affecting Our Performance

    Key factors and trends that have affected, and we believe will continue to affect, our operating results include:

Macroeconomic Environment. The industries and companies we serve are navigating a complex macroeconomic environment impacted by inflation, higher interest rates, volatile capital and financial markets, supply chain disruptions, tight labor markets, pricing volatility, geopolitical conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts, and other local and regional macroeconomic conditions. Uncertain macroeconomic and industry conditions in countries and regions in which we operate create a continued challenging selling environment for large enterprise technology deployments. In this environment, we remain confident in our ability to help optimize shopping and selling

experiences for our customers. For example, pricing volatility and inflation are catalysts for demand for our price optimization and management solutions. Partly, as a result, we grew both subscription revenue and total revenue by double digits in the first nine months of 2023. We believe in the near term that new customers will emphasize smaller scope initial purchase, fast implementations, and return on their investment. We believe this emphasis will require solid execution by our teams to capitalize on these demand drivers. While our recurring revenue and earnings are relatively predictable as a result of our subscription-based business model, the broader implications of the macroeconomic environment on our business, results of operations, cash flows and overall financial position, remain uncertain. For example, our lower subscription bookings during the pandemic adversely impacted our subscription revenue growth rates in subsequent periods due to the timing lag between subscription bookings and the revenue recognized on those bookings. For a full discussion of the risks and uncertainties in our business, please see the "Risk Factors" section in our Annual Report.

Profitable Growth as a Priority. We continue to focus on profitability by investing in a disciplined manner to drive revenue growth and support our long-term initiatives. This includes initiatives to accelerate customer time-to-value, improve efficiency, provide out-of-the-box integration with third-party commerce solutions and develop new applications and technologies. We expect our product development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues will decrease over the longer term as we grow our revenues and focus on profitability.

Travel Industry Recovering. Despite operational headwinds and regional variances in the timing of travel restrictions being lifted, the travel industry, particularly the airline industry, continues to recover from the unprecedented disruption caused by the pandemic. While global capacity has not fully returned to pre-pandemic levels, demand for air travel continues to show strong year over year growth. Domestic U.S. travel has led this recovery, with international travel recovery staggered due to differences in timing of lifting of travel restrictions and other regional challenges. International Air Transport Association forecasts airline industry profitability in 2023 with certain U.S.-based airlines publicly reporting profitable quarters this year. However, the rate of airline industry recovery and profitability could be impacted negatively if inflation further impacts consumer disposable income or if business travel does not recover to pre-pandemic levels. While we expect the travel industry to increasingly prioritize technology investments as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels, most of our airline customers are based outside the U.S. and there is significant geographic and individual airline variation in pace of recovery and capacity for technology projects.

Digital Purchasing Driving Technology Adoption. We believe the long-term trends toward digital purchasing by both consumers and corporate buyers drives demand for technology that provides fast, frictionless and personalized buying experiences across direct sales, partner, online, mobile and emerging channels. Buyers often prefer not to interact with sales representatives as their primary source of research, and to buy online when they have already decided what to buy. For example, in the airline industry, the pandemic accelerated a long-term trend towards direct booking channels, and we anticipate airlines continuing to invest in technology, including mobile device-enabled solutions, to enhance their ability to capture a greater percentage of bookings through their own channels such as their websites. We believe companies must adopt technologies which power these types of experiences across sales channels as they modernize their sales process to compete in digital commerce.

Artificial Intelligence Becoming Mainstream. Recent mainstream interest in generative AI and associated media attention on AI are driving increased focus and conversations by companies around business applications leveraging AI. For example, companies are looking to AI to quickly extract actionable insights from their data, improve and customize their offerings, and drive process and operating efficiencies. Our AI-powered solutions enable buyers to move fluidly and with personalized experiences across our customers’ sales channels, and our digital offer marketing solutions help our customers drive their buyers directly into their direct selling channels. The pace of change across industries helps fuel demand for our configure price quote solutions as businesses look to use AI to replace manual selling processes. Our solutions have utilized AI for years, and our legacy of AI development continues to influence our category-leading solutions. For example, our platform is now powered by our 4th generation AI, using a deep neural network that leverages all available data and attributes to improve prediction accuracy. In addition, we are utilizing, and will continue to look for ways to incorporate, AI in our business across a variety of operations to drive efficiencies, gain valuable insights and increase productivity.

Cloud Migrations. We continue to encourage our customers to migrate to our current cloud solutions as we discontinue support for certain of our on-premises solutions. As our on-premises customers continue to migrate from our legacy solutions to our current cloud solutions, we expect our future maintenance and support revenue will continue to decline and our subscription revenue to increase.

Subscription revenue. Subscription revenue increased primarily due to an increase in new and existing customer subscription contracts.

Maintenance and support revenue. Maintenance and support revenue decreased primarily as a result of existing maintenance customers migrating to our cloud solutions and, to a lesser extent, customer maintenance churn. We expect maintenance revenue to continue to decline as we continue to migrate maintenance customers to our cloud solutions.

Table of Contents
Services revenue. Services revenue increased primarily as a result of higher sales of professional services related to our subscription contracts and follow-on professional services to existing customers. Services revenue varies from period to period depending on different factors, including the level of professional services required to implement our solutions, the timing of services revenue recognition on certain subscription contracts and efficiencies in our solutions implementations requiring less professional services during a particular period.

Cost of subscription. Cost of subscription increased primarily due to higher infrastructure cost to support the growth in our current subscription customer base and higher employee-related costs mainly due to an increase in headcount. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense for intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and internal-use software expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our subscription gross profit percentages were 76% and 73% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 75% and 73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Cost of maintenance and support. Cost of maintenance and support decreased due to lower personnel costs as our maintenance customer base declined primarily with migrations to our subscription solutions. Maintenance and support gross profit percentages were 62% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 72% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Gross profit percentages decreased in 2023 as compared to prior year primarily due to lower maintenance and support revenue and the cost of maintenance and support being relatively fixed.
    
Cost of services. Cost of services increased primarily due to higher personnel costs to support the increase in our services revenue during the period. Services gross profit percentages were 3% and (3)% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (1)% and (9)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Services gross profit percentages improved in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to an increase in services revenue and a lesser increase in cost of services due to greater efficiencies. Services gross profit percentages vary period to period depending on different factors, including the level of professional services required to implement our solutions, the utilization of our employees and our effective man-day rates.

Selling and marketing expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, selling and marketing expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease in events and initiatives for sales and marketing, employee-related costs and intangible asset amortization expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, selling and marketing expenses slightly decreased primarily due to a decrease in employee-related costs mainly due to prior organizational changes and intangible asset amortization expense. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in events and initiatives for sales and marketing, and travel expenses.

Table of Contents
Research and development expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, research and development expenses decreased primarily due to prior organizational changes and a decreased use of contracted resources. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in research and development expenses also included lower noncash share-based compensation. The noncash share-based compensation was higher in prior year mainly due to the acceleration of equity awards related to the retirement of a senior officer in the first quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to employee-related expenses, including share-based compensation and higher professional fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, general and administrative expenses grew modestly, primarily due to increases in professional fees and consulting services.

Impairment of fixed assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded zero and $1.6 million impairment charge related to fixed assets, respectively. The 2022 impairment resulted from changes to our intentions for certain fixed assets in connection with a new agreement with a software vendor.

Convertible debt interest and amortization. Convertible debt expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 related to coupon interest and amortization of debt issuance costs attributable to our Notes.

Other (expense) income, net. The change in other (expense) income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily related to a $4.3 million derivative loss and a $1.8 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the convertible notes exchange. These items were partially offset by higher interest income resulting from an increase in interest rates in 2023 as compared to prior year. In addition, we realized a $3.3 million gain on equity investment recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Income tax provision. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included both foreign income and withholding taxes. No tax benefit was recognized on jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rate was (1.8)% and (1.9)% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (1.0)% and (1.1)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The income tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets. While our expected tax rate would be 0% due to the full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, the income tax provision and related effective tax rates was due to foreign income and withholding taxes.

Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized due to the valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets are excluded from the estimated annual federal effective tax rate. The impact of such an exclusion could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter depending on the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2023, we had $159.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and unrestricted cash and $42.5 million of working capital as compared to $203.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and unrestricted cash and $106.3 million of working capital at December 31, 2022.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated from operations and potential borrowings under our Credit Agreement. In addition, we could access capital markets to supplement our liquidity position. Our material drivers or variants of operating cash flow are net income (loss) and the timing of invoicing and cash collections from our customers. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors and the payments of other liabilities.

    We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, including current estimates of future operating cash flows and funds available under our Credit Agreement, will provide adequate liquidity and capital resources to meet our operational requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, coupon interest and principal payments for our remaining 2024 Notes for the next twelve months. Our future working capital requirements depend on many factors, including the operations of our existing business, growth of our customer subscription services, future acquisitions we might undertake, expansion into complementary businesses, timing of adoption and implementation of our solutions and customer churn. Capital markets have tightened in response to the macroeconomic environment making new financing more difficult and/or expensive and we may not be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us. During the nine months of 2023, the financial markets experienced some disruption due to certain regional bank failures. We have not experienced any material impact from this disruption but will continue to monitor the situation and take action accordingly.

    The following table presents key components of our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022: 
 Nine Months Ended September 30,

Effect of foreign currency rates on cash(30)(289)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$(34,547)$(20,729)
    
Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $4.0 million. The improvement year over year was primarily due to increases in sales, the related cash collections, interest income and a reduction in cash operating expenses.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2.3 million. The increase was due to higher capital expenditures, primarily related to third-party software license renewal, in 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $28.3 million. The increase year over year was primarily attributable to a $22.8 million purchase of capped call, in connection with the convertible notes exchange, and also due to higher tax withholding payments of $6.6 million on the vesting of employee share-based awards.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material. We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial

partnerships, such as variable interest entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Other than changes described in Note 10 above and noted below, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in our Annual Report.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2023. Our Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants which restrict our ability to, among other things, create liens, incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain other transactions, in each case subject to certain exclusions. In addition, our Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants which become effective in the event our liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) falls below a certain level. See Note 9 for details on the Credit Agreement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    See "Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted" in Note 2 above for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective expected dates of adoption, if any.
Critical accounting policies and estimates

    Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The complexity and judgment required in our estimation process, as well as issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations, affect the amounts of revenue, expenses, unbilled receivables and deferred revenue. Estimates are also used for, but not limited to, receivables, allowance for credit losses, operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, useful lives of assets, depreciation, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation, valuation of stock awards, other current liabilities and accrued liabilities. Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates. Our critical accounting policies related to the estimates and judgments are discussed in our Annual Report under management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

    Although our contracts are predominately denominated in U.S. dollars, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk because we also have some contracts denominated in foreign currencies. The effect of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in exchange rates on our foreign denominated receivables as of September 30, 2023 would result in a loss of approximately $0.8 million. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk due to our operating subsidiaries in France, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Australia, Bulgaria, Ecuador and United Arab Emirates. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the euro, which is our single most significant foreign currency exposure, would have decreased revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 by approximately $1.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively. However, due to the relatively low volume of payments made and received through our foreign subsidiaries, we do not believe that we have significant exposure to foreign currency exchange risks. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could harm our financial results in the future.

    We currently do not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign currency exchange risks. We continue to review this matter and may consider hedging certain foreign exchange risks through the use of currency derivatives in future years.

Interest Rate Risk

    We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related to the variable interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, we had no borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2023, we had outstanding principal amounts of $150.0 million and $143.8 million of the 2027 and the 2024 Notes, respectively, which are fixed rate instruments. Therefore, our results of operations are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates. However, the fair values of the Notes are exposed to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair value of our fixed interest rate Notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise.

    We believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our cash equivalents as a result of changes in interest rates due to their short-term nature.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

    Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2023. Based on our evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

    There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

    Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report.

We have incurred indebtedness by issuing convertible notes, and we may borrow under our Credit Agreement. Our debt repayment obligations may adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows in the future.

In September 2020, we issued $150.0 million principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes ("2027 Notes") due September 15, 2027, unless earlier redeemed, purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. As of September 30, 2023, $150.0 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes were outstanding. Following the completion of the Exchange on October 10, 2023, $266.8 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes are outstanding.

In May 2019, we issued $143.8 million principal amount of 1.0% convertible senior notes ("2024 Notes" and together with the 2027 Notes, the "Notes") due May 15, 2024, unless earlier redeemed, purchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. As of September 30, 2023, $143.8 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes were outstanding. Following the completion of the Exchange on October 10, 2023, $21.7 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes are outstanding.

Our Credit Agreement provides for a $50.0 million revolving line of credit, none of which was drawn as of September 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants which restrict our ability to, among other things, create liens, incur additional indebtedness and engage in certain other transactions, in each case subject to certain exclusions. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants which become effective in the event our liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) falls below a certain level. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of covenants, cross acceleration to material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, judgment defaults, and the occurrence of certain change of control events. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the termination of the Credit Agreement and acceleration of repayment obligations with respect to any outstanding principal amounts.

Our indebtedness could have important consequences because it may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes. Our ability to meet our debt obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic, regulatory and other factors. We cannot control many of these factors. Our future operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to repay our debt. If we fail to comply with any covenants contained in the agreements governing any of our debt, or make a payment on any of our debt when due, we could be in default on such debt, which could, in turn, result in such debt and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. If we are at any time unable to pay our indebtedness when due, we may be required to renegotiate the terms of the indebtedness, seek to refinance all or a portion of the indebtedness, and/or obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that, in the future, we will be able to successfully renegotiate such terms, that any such refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

We have an ongoing authorization from our board of directors to repurchase up to $15.0 million in shares of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. As of September 30, 2023, $10.0 million remained available for repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization. We did not make any purchases of our common stock under this program for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
