1. Basis of Presentation
Commvault Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Commvault," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") aims to provide its customers cyber resiliency by protecting and recovering their data and cloud-native applications in a world of increasing cyber threats and attacks, including ransomware. We provide products and services across many types of environments, including on-premise, hybrid and multi-cloud. Our offerings are delivered via self-managed software, software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), integrated appliances, or managed by partners. Customers use our Commvault Cloud platform to help protect themselves from threats like ransomware and recover their data efficiently.
The consolidated financial statements of Commvault as of December 31, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The results reported in these financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, income taxes and related reserves, deferred commissions, goodwill, and purchased intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassification of Prior Year Balances
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Beginning in fiscal 2026, the subscription revenues and cost of revenues line items on the consolidated statements of operations have been further disaggregated to disclose the software portion of term-based licenses and SaaS. These reclassifications have no impact on the amount of total revenues or net income.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

| ASU No. 2023-09 (Topic 740): Income Taxes | In December 2023, the FASB issued a new standard to improve income tax disclosures. The standard requires greater disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. | This standard will be effective for us for our annual period beginning April 1, 2025. | This standard will result in additional annual tax disclosures and is not expected to have an impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. | ||||||||
| ASU No. 2024-03 (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses | In November 2024, the FASB issued a new standard to improve income statement expense disclosures. The standard requires greater disaggregated information on certain expense captions, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. | This standard will be effective for us for our annual period beginning April 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning April 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. | We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. | ||||||||
| ASU No. 2025-06 (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software | In September 2025, the FASB issued a new standard to modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. | This standard will be effective for us for our interim period beginning April 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. | We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. | ||||||||
| ASU No. 2025-12: Codification Improvements | In December 2025, the FASB issued a new standard to address suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the ASC and to make other incremental improvements to GAAP. The update represents changes to the ASC that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. | This standard will be effective for us for our interim period beginning April 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. | We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. | ||||||||

We grant credit to customers in a wide variety of industries worldwide and generally do not require collateral. Credit losses relating to these customers have historically been minimal.
We rely significantly on our value-added resellers, systems integrators and corporate resellers, which we collectively refer to as resellers, for the marketing and distribution of our products and services. Further, we have non-exclusive distribution agreements with certain partners who enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our solutions by managing our resellers and leveraging their own industry experience.
Partner A accounted for approximately 32 35 25 % and 29 % of our total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Partner B accounted for approximately 10 % and 11 % of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. Total revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 for Partner B were less than 10%. Total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 for Partner B were less than 10%.
Convertible Senior Notes
In September 2025, we issued $900,000 aggregate principal amount of 0 % convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”), which we account for as a liability in their entirety, measured at amortized cost. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Notes are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the outstanding Notes. These costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the Notes and are included within interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for such asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. To measure fair value, we use the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:
Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts of our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. We held an investment in equity securities of $6,076 as of December 31, 2025, which was valued using the measurement alternative as permitted under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities. This investment is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Based on the actual achievement of certain financial metrics as of June 30, 2025, the contingent consideration arrangement related to the acquisition of Appranix, Inc. resulted in final aggregate consideration of $1,855 , of which $1,527 was paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and $328 was paid during the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The liability, with a fair value of $873 as of March 31, 2025 and classified as a Level 3 investment, was adjusted accordingly, resulting in a $545 reduction in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. As the contingent consideration arrangement has been fully settled, no liability remains on our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025.
Financial Instruments for Which Fair Value Is Only Disclosed
We report our financial instruments at fair value with the exception of the Notes. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Notes was $794,412 . The fair value was determined based on the quoted price of the Notes in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period and are considered a Level 2 measurement. Refer to Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further details.
Equity Securities Accounted for at Net Asset Value
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The carrying value of goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis on January 1, or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of its carrying amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, we have a single reporting unit. We have elected to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no further analysis is required; otherwise, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value.
Our finite-lived purchased intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer relationships acquired through business acquisitions. Developed technology is generally valued using income-based approaches, such as the relief from royalty or multi-period excess earnings methods, and typically has an economic life of five years . Customer relationships are valued using similar income-based methods and have an economic life of ten years . All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives, as we believe this method most closely reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets will be consumed. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is both not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.
Deferred Commissions Cost
Sales commissions, bonuses, and related payroll taxes earned by our employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Our typical contracts include performance obligations related to term-based software licenses, SaaS offerings, perpetual software licenses, software updates, and customer support. In these contracts, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices and then recognized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. We do not pay commissions on annual renewals of customer support contracts for perpetual licenses. The costs allocated to

software and products are expensed at the time of sale, when revenue for the functional software license is recognized. The costs allocated to software updates and customer support for perpetual licenses are amortized ratably over a period of approximately five years , the expected period of benefit of the asset capitalized. We currently estimate a period of five years is appropriate based on consideration of historical average customer life and the estimated useful life of the underlying software sold as part of the transaction. The commission paid on the renewal of subscription arrangements is not commensurate with the commission paid on the initial purchase. As a result, the cost of commissions allocated to SaaS offerings, software updates and customer support on the initial term-based software license transactions are amortized over a period of approximately five years , consistent with the accounting for these costs associated with perpetual licenses. The costs of commissions allocated to SaaS offerings, software updates and customer support for the renewal of term-based software licenses is limited to the contractual period of the arrangement, as we pay a commensurate renewal commission upon the next renewal of the subscription software license and related updates and support.
The incremental costs attributable to professional services are generally amortized over the period the related services are provided and revenue is recognized. Amortization expense related to these costs is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Restructuring
Restructuring charges may consist of voluntary or involuntary severance and associated costs from headcount reductions, stock-based compensation resulting from modifications to existing awards granted to certain employees impacted by the plan, technology transitions, and office termination and exit charges. Costs for one time termination benefits are recognized at the date when employees are notified, unless the employee is required to render services beyond a minimum retention period, in which case the benefits are expressed ratably over the service period. We recognize voluntary termination benefits when an employee accepts the offered benefit arrangement.
3. Revenue
We generate revenues through subscription arrangements, which includes both term-based software licenses and SaaS, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services.
Term-based License
Term-based license revenue typically includes revenue from the license portion of time-based subscription arrangements which are deployed on-premise. The revenue from these licenses is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download.
Software-as-a-service ("SaaS")
SaaS revenue typically includes revenue from time-based subscription arrangements which are delivered via hosted cloud solutions. SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term, typically to three years , beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer.
Perpetual License
Perpetual license includes the revenues from the sale of perpetual software licenses. Perpetual software license revenue is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download.
Customer Support
Customer support includes revenues associated with support contracts tied to our software products. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and other premium support offerings, for both term-based software license and perpetual software license arrangements. We sell our customer support contracts as a percentage of net software purchases. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is

typically one year on our perpetual licenses and over the term on our term-based licenses, which typically range from to three years .
Other Services
Other services consist primarily of revenues related to professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, installation services, and customer education. Revenues related to other services can vary period over period based on the timing services are delivered and are typically recognized as the services are performed.
We do not customize our software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) and installation services are not required. Software licenses are delivered before related services are provided and are functional without professional services, updates, or technical support. We have concluded that our software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) are functional intellectual property that is distinct, as the user can benefit from the software on its own. Revenues for both term-based and perpetual licenses are typically recognized when the software is delivered and/or made available for download as this is the point the user of the software can direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the functional intellectual property. We do not recognize software revenue related to the renewal of term-based software licenses earlier than the beginning of the new subscription period.
We also offer software that integrates with appliances and address a wide range of business needs and use cases, ranging from support for remote or branch offices with limited IT staff up to large corporate data centers. These appliances are almost exclusively sold via a software only model in which we sell software to a third party, which assembles an integrated appliance that is sold to end user customers. As a result, the revenues and costs associated with hardware are usually not included in our financial statements.
Our typical performance obligations include the following:
| Performance Obligation | When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied | When Payment is Typically Due | How Standalone Selling Price is Typically Estimated | ||||||||
| Subscription | |||||||||||
| Term-based software licenses | Upon shipment or made available for download (point in time) | Within | Residual approach | ||||||||

Judgments Related to Revenue Recognition
Most of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we evaluate and account for individual performance obligations separately if they are determined to be distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of software licenses (both term-based and perpetual) are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices for SaaS, customer support contracts, and other services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. We recognize revenue net of sales tax.
Disaggregation of Revenues
We disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers into geographical regions. Our Americas region includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Our International region primarily includes Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia, India, Southeast Asia, and China.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent expected future revenue from existing contracts where performance obligations are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include unfulfilled contracts at the end of a given period and can include subscription arrangements (term-based licenses and SaaS), customer support and other services. As of December 31, 2025, our remaining performance obligations (inclusive of deferred revenue) were $968,971 , of which approximately 60 % is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder recognized thereafter.
Remaining performance obligations, excluding deferred revenue, related to subscription arrangements, customer support revenue and other services were $128,273 , $73,643 , and $33,854 , respectively. Of these balances, we expect approximately 52 % of subscription arrangements, 34 % of customer support and 100 % of other services to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 24 % of subscription arrangements and 9 % of customer support remaining performance obligations to be recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. These balances represent transactions consisting primarily of early renewals, unbilled and undelivered support and other services, and orders received prior to the last day of the quarter that were not delivered or provisioned to customers.
Remaining performance obligations will fluctuate period to period. We do not believe the amount of remaining performance obligations is indicative of future sales or revenue or that the mix at the end of any given period correlates with actual sales performance.

Information About Contract Balances
Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are accounted for as deferred revenue. Nearly all of our deferred revenue balance is related to SaaS, customer support, and other services.
In some arrangements we allow customers to pay for term-based licenses over the term of the software license. When a term-based license arrangement contains payment terms that extend beyond one year, a significant financing component may exist. The significant financing component is calculated as the difference between the stated value and present value of the license and is recognized as interest income over the extended payment period. The total license fee net of the significant financing component is recognized as revenue at the point in time when the software is transferred to the customer. Interest income from significant financing components was not material for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Ending balance as of December 31, 2025 | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The increase in accounts receivable (inclusive of unbilled receivables) is primarily the result of an increase in revenue relative to the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year and the timing of our billings and cash collections. The increase in deferred revenue is primarily the result of an increase in SaaS contracts which are billed upfront but recognized ratably over the contract period and an increase in deferred customer support revenue.
The amount of revenue recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $98,770 and $362,799 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. The majority of this revenue consists of SaaS and customer support. The amount of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not significant.

4. Business Combination
On August 28, 2025, we completed the acquisition of 100 % of the shares of Satori Cyber, Ltd. ("Satori"), an Israel-based data and AI security company, for a preliminary purchase price of $28,257 in cash consideration. The primary reason for the acquisition was to extend and enhance our product portfolio with data security and AI governance solutions.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $12 and $1,269 , respectively, which were included in general and administrative expenses. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation:

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the residual purchase price paid in business combinations after the fair value of all identified assets and liabilities have been recorded. It includes the estimated value of the integration of acquired technology into current product offerings, the potential expansion with new customers, the opportunity to further develop sales relationships with new customers and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill is not amortized and there were no 35,033 of the goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Changes in goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Intangible Assets, Net
Intangible assets consist of developed technology and customer relationships. Developed technology acquired in fiscal 2026 and 2025 has an estimated useful life of five years three years , and was fully amortized as of the end of fiscal 2025. Customer relationships acquired in fiscal 2025 have an estimated useful life of ten years . All of our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis. Purchased intangible assets, net of amortization are summarized below:
| December 31, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

6. Sale and Leaseback Transaction
On April 28, 2025, we completed the sale of our owned corporate headquarters located in Tinton Falls, New Jersey for cash consideration of $36,000 , excluding transaction costs, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement signed on October 2, 2024. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a leaseback arrangement for a portion of the premises over a term of ten years , expiring April 30, 2035. The transaction met the criteria for a sale under ASC 842, Leases and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the leaseback was determined to be an operating lease.
In connection with the transaction, the Company determined that the leaseback terms were above market. Accordingly, a financial liability of $1,300 19,563 , based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate the lease liability was 6.35 %.
7. Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs"), common shares to be purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), the exercise of stock options, and, if dilutive, the conversion spread on the Notes. The dilutive effect of RSUs, PSUs, ESPP purchases, and the exercise of stock options is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the Notes is calculated using the if-converted method. See Note 14 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further details of the Notes.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share:
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Nine Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Dilutive effect of potential common shares | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted net income per common share | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
The diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes RSUs, PSUs, common shares to be purchased under the ESPP and outstanding stock options totaling 277 and 179 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 51 and 239 for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, because the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the Notes were excluded from diluted net income per share as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:
| Non-vested Restricted Stock Units | Number of Awards | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |||||||||
| Non-vested as of March 31, 2025 | $ | ||||||||||
| Awarded | |||||||||||
| Vested | ( | ||||||||||
| Forfeited | ( | ||||||||||
Non-vested as of December 31, 2025 | $ | ||||||||||
The weighted average fair value of RSUs awarded was $128.72 and $158.99 per unit during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and $168.96 and $142.14 per unit during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The weighted average fair value of awards includes the awards with a market condition described below.
Performance Based Awards
In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we granted approximately 78 PSUs to certain executives. Vesting of these awards is contingent upon i) us meeting certain non-GAAP performance goals (performance-based) in fiscal 2026 and ii) our customary service periods. The awards vest over three years and have the potential to vest between 0 % and 300 % (234 shares) based on actual fiscal 2026 performance. The vesting quantity of these awards may vary based on actual fiscal 2026 performance. The related stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized over the vesting term using the accelerated method. During the interim financial periods, management estimates the probable number of PSUs that would vest until the ultimate achievement of the performance goals is known. The awards are included in the restricted stock units table.
Awards with a Market Condition
In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we granted approximately 78 market PSUs to certain executives. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon us meeting certain total shareholder return ("TSR") levels as compared to the Russell 3000 market index over the succeeding three years from grant date. The awards vest in three annual tranches and have the potential to vest between 0 % and 300 % (234 shares) based on TSR performance. The related stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized using the accelerated method over the vesting term. The estimated fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the awards granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was $288.47 per unit. The awards are included in the restricted stock units table.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The ESPP is a shareholder approved plan under which substantially all employees may purchase our common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85 % of the lower of the fair market values of the stock as of the beginning or the end of six-month offering periods. An employee’s payroll deductions under the ESPP are limited to 10 % of the employee’s salary and employees may not purchase more than $25 of stock during any calendar year. Employees purchased 45 shares in exchange for $6,974 of proceeds in the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 68 shares in exchange for $5,486 of proceeds in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The ESPP is considered compensatory and the fair value of the discount and look back provision are estimated using the Black-Scholes formula and recognized over the six-month withholding period prior to purchase. The total expense associated with the ESPP for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

was $4,003 and $2,746 , respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $705 of unrecognized cost related to the current offering period of our ESPP.
11. Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $9,242 and $12,999 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $4,085 and $7,307 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The change in income tax expense compared to the prior year period relates primarily to current federal taxes driven by an increase in pre-tax income projections.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), enacted on July 4, 2025, includes several corporate tax provisions relevant to U.S. businesses. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenses, extensions of bonus depreciation, and modifications to the international tax regimes. The provisions in the legislation are generally effective beginning in our fiscal 2026. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of these provisions on its financial statements, but an estimate of the financial impact has been included in our operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact to our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025.
12. Segment Information
We operate as a single reportable segment as we report financial information, including net income determined in accordance with GAAP, among other measures, on a consolidated basis to our Chief Executive Officer, who serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM uses consolidated net income to make operating decisions, allocate resources, and evaluate financial performance, primarily by monitoring actual results compared to forecasted results, as well as by reviewing year-over-year results and trending historical performance. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of actual versus forecasted results are used in assessing the performance of the segment.
The CODM reviews significant segment expenses for our single reportable segment. Significant segment expenses include cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, and other operating expenses, all of which are presented in our consolidated statements of operations. Other segment items include interest income, interest expense, other income, net, and income tax expense, which are also presented in our consolidated statements of operations.
Revenues by geography are based upon the billing address of the customer. All transfers between geographic regions have been eliminated from consolidated revenues. The following table sets forth revenue by geographic area:

13. Restructuring
We initiated a restructuring plan in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 ("Plan B") intended to optimize our cost structure, improve organizational agility, and better align resources with strategic priorities. These restructuring activities encompass workforce reductions, office lease closures and exit of operations in certain jurisdictions and are estimated to cost up to $30,000 . We anticipate the plan to be completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, restructuring charges were as follows:

We initiated a restructuring plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 ("Plan A") intended to optimize our Business Technology organization. The objective of this plan is to realign the workforce, invest in emerging capabilities, modernize the technology landscape, and streamline operations to operate with greater agility and customer focus. We anticipate the workforce realignment and identification of planned technology changes will be completed in fiscal 2026, and the remaining activities under the restructuring plan, including the technology transitions, are expected to be completed in fiscal 2027. The majority of the workforce realignment costs were incurred in the first half of fiscal 2026. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, restructuring charges were as follows:

14. Debt
Convertible Senior Notes
On September 5, 2025, we issued $900,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of the Notes of their option to purchase an additional $115,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated September 5, 2025 (the “Indenture”), between Commvault and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and do not bear regular interest; however, special interest and additional interest, if any, may accrue on the Notes at a combined rate per annum not exceeding 0.50 % upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Indenture. The Notes mature on September 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting initial debt issuance costs, was $878,447 .
Noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes before March 15, 2030 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2025, if the Last Reported Sale Price (as defined in the Indenture) per share of our common stock exceeds 130 % of the conversion price (as described below) for each of at least 20 Trading Days (as defined in the Indenture) (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98 % of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of the common stock on such Trading Day and the conversion rate (as described below) on each Trading Day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on the common stock as set forth in the Indenture; or (4) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption.
On or after March 15, 2030, until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture) immediately before the maturity date, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 4.2215 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $236.88 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon certain events. Upon conversion, consideration due will consist of cash, up to the principal amount of the Notes to be converted, and, for any conversion value in excess of principal, cash or shares of our common stock, at our election.
We may not redeem the Notes at our option at any time before September 22, 2028. We will have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, on or after September 22, 2028 and before the 41 st Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if (i) the Notes are Freely Tradable (as defined in the Indenture); and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price per share of our common stock exceeds 130 % of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 Trading Days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (2) the Trading Day immediately before the date we send such notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. Pursuant to the partial redemption limitation, we may not elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $100,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice.

The net carrying amount of the Notes was as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | |||||
| Principal amount | $ | ||||
| Unamortized debt issuance costs | ( | ||||
| Net carrying amount | $ | ||||
Amortization of debt issuance costs incurred related to the Notes for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025 was $1,075 and $1,381 , respectively. The debt issuance costs are being amortized into interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the Notes at an effective interest rate of 0.48 %.
Capped Calls
In connection with the pricing of the Notes and the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional Notes, we entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Calls") with certain affiliates of certain initial purchasers of the Notes and other financial institutions.
The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of $236.88 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Notes. The Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $357.56 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of the converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are treated as separate transactions from, and not part of, the terms of the Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders' equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The Capped Calls will not be remeasured as long as they continue to meet the conditions for equity classification. The Notes and the Capped Calls have been integrated for tax purposes resulting in a deferred tax asset of $23,543 . The impact of this tax treatment results in the Capped Calls being deductible with the cost of the Capped Calls qualifying as original issue discount for tax purposes over the term of the Notes.
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 15, 2025, we refinanced our existing $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility, replacing it with a new five-year $300,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility is available for share repurchases, general corporate purposes, and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default which would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare all loans then outstanding to be immediately due and payable if such default is not cured within applicable grace periods. The Credit Facility also limits our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, make acquisitions or investments, make loans or advances, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends or distributions, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a per annum rate determined by the Company’s election of either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50 % to 2.00 %, or a base rate, which is generally the greater of a prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50 % to 1.00 %. The applicable margin in each case is contingent upon the Company’s leverage ratio. Additionally, the unused balance on the Credit Facility is subject to an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25 % to 0.35 % per annum based on the Company's leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The statements in this discussion regarding our expectations of our future performance, liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, as such risks and uncertainties may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Overview
Commvault Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Commvault," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") aims to provide its customers cyber resiliency by protecting and recovering their data and cloud-native applications in a world of increasing cyber threats and attacks, including ransomware. We provide products and services across many types of environments, including on-premise, hybrid and multi-cloud. Our offerings are delivered via self-managed software, software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), integrated appliances, or managed by partners.
Sources of Revenues
We generate revenues through subscription arrangements, which includes both term-based software licenses and SaaS, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services. A significant portion of our total revenues comes from subscription arrangements, whether deployed on-premise (term-based license) or delivered via hosted cloud SaaS solutions. These arrangements are economically and contractually similar, as customers receive access to our software for a specified term under binding agreements. We are focused on these types of recurring revenue arrangements.
We expect our subscription arrangements will continue to generate revenues from the renewals of term-based licenses and SaaS offerings sold in prior years. Any of our pricing models (capacity, instance based, etc.) can be sold either through term-based licensing or via hosted cloud SaaS solutions. In term-based license arrangements, software revenue is generally recognized when the software is delivered. Revenue related to SaaS is recognized ratably over the contract period.
Our customer support revenue includes support contracts tied to our software products. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and other premium support offerings, for both term-based software license and perpetual software license arrangements. We sell our customer support contracts as a percentage of net software purchases. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year on our perpetual licenses and over the term on our term-based licenses, which typically range from one to three years.
Our other services revenue consists primarily of professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, installation services, and customer education. Revenues from other services can vary period over period based on the timing services are delivered and are typically recognized as the services are performed.
We sell to end-user customers both directly through our sales force and indirectly through our global network of value-added reseller partners, systems integrators, corporate resellers, original equipment manufacturers, and marketplaces. Revenue generated through indirect distribution channels accounted for approximately 90% of total revenues in both the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Revenue generated through direct distribution channels accounted for approximately 10% of total revenues in both the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Deals initiated by our direct sales force are sometimes transacted through indirect channels based on end-user customer requirements, which are not always in our control and can cause this overall percentage split to vary from period-to-period. As such, there may be fluctuations in the dollars and percentage of revenue generated through our distribution channels from time-to-time. We believe that the growth of our revenue, derived from both our indirect channel partners and direct sales force, are key attributes to our long-term growth strategy. We intend to continue to invest in both our channel relationships and direct sales force in the future, but we continue to expect more revenue to be generated through indirect distribution channels over the long term. The failure of our indirect distribution channels or our direct sales force to effectively sell our products and services could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.

We have non-exclusive distribution agreements with certain partners who enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our solutions by managing our resellers and leveraging their own industry experience. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Partner A accounted for approximately 32% and 35% of our total revenues, respectively. Separately, Partner B accounted for approximately 11% of our total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 for Partner B were less than 10%. If these partners discontinue or reduce the sales of our solutions or if our agreements with them were terminated, and if we were unable to take back the management of our reseller channel or find another distributor to replace them, there could be a material adverse effect on our future business.
For additional information on how we recognize revenue, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Key Performance Indicators ($ in millions)
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help evaluate the state of our business. We believe the below metrics are material to investors to understand the growth and performance of our business, as they help normalize certain variable factors. Metrics such as Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR"), Subscription ARR, SaaS ARR and SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate ("SaaS NRR") provide a consistent view of our recurring revenue profile. ARR, Subscription ARR, and SaaS ARR exclude non-recurring elements and reflect the annualized value of active contracts, while SaaS NRR measures net expansion within our existing customer base. Together, we believe these metrics offer meaningful insight into the health and trajectory of our recurring revenue streams.
Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR)
ARR represents the annualized recurring value of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period. It includes recurring subscription offerings (including term licenses, SaaS, and utility software), maintenance related to perpetual and term licenses, extended maintenance contracts (enterprise support), and managed services. It excludes non-recurring elements such as perpetual licenses and professional services which are typically delivered at a point in time. ARR is calculated by dividing the total contract value by the number of days in the contract term and multiplying by 365. We believe ARR is a valuable metric for evaluating the growth of our business, as it provides a normalized view of recurring revenue by excluding the variability associated with contract term lengths and omitting contracts that are not expected to renew. Because ARR reflects the annualized value of recurring customer contracts at a particular point in time, quarter‑to‑quarter movements can vary depending on the timing of customer transactions, renewals and other normal purchasing patterns.

| Total ARR | $ | 1,084.9 | $ | 889.6 | ||||||||||
| % Growth | 22 | % | 18 | % | ||||||||||
Subscription ARR
Subscription ARR includes only term licenses, SaaS, and utility arrangements, calculated using the same methodology as ARR. We believe Subscription ARR provides meaningful insight into the growth of our subscription-based offerings and reflects both new customer acquisition and expansion within our existing customer base. As our most strategically significant and rapidly expanding revenue streams, our subscription arrangements are central to our long-term growth strategy and operational focus.

Table of Contents
SaaS ARR
SaaS ARR includes only the cloud-hosted portion of Subscription ARR and is calculated using the same methodology. SaaS ARR reflects the annualized value of active SaaS contracts and we believe this metric provides insight into customer adoption trends and expansion within our cloud-based offerings. As SaaS continues to represent a growing share of our total revenue, we view this metric as a key indicator of our ability to meet the evolving needs of our customer base. Continued adoption and conversion to SaaS arrangements are critical to sustaining our long-term growth and aligning with customer preferences for cloud-delivered solutions.

| SaaS ARR | $ | 363.7 | $ | 259.0 | ||||||||||
| % Growth | 40 | % | 71 | % | ||||||||||
SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate (SaaS NRR)
SaaS NRR is the percentage of SaaS ARR retained from existing customers at the start of an annual period after accounting for expansion revenue, churn, and downgrades. It is presented on a constant currency basis using exchange rates as of March 31, 2025. Acquired SaaS ARR is excluded until the acquisition is fully integrated, which we generally expect to occur twelve months from the closing date. We believe our SaaS Net Dollar Retention Rate offers valuable insight into the year-over-year expansion of our existing customer base, reflecting both increased utilization of current products and services as well as the adoption of additional offerings.

These metrics are non-GAAP measures and do not have standardized definitions under GAAP. As such, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these metrics to assess the health of our recurring revenue base and to inform strategic decision-making. These metrics should be viewed independently of GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue and are not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates’ Impact on Results of Operations
Sales outside the United States were 47% of our total revenues for both the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The income statements of our non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for each applicable month in a period. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions generally results in increased revenues, operating expenses and income from operations for our non-U.S. operations. Similarly, our revenues, operating expenses and income from operations will generally decrease for our non-U.S. operations if the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies.
Using the average foreign currency exchange rates from the three months ended December 31, 2024, our total revenues would have been lower by $9.5 million, our cost of revenues would have been lower by $0.3 million and our operating expenses would have been lower by $2.3 million from non-U.S. operations for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Using the average foreign currency exchange rates from the nine months ended December 31, 2024, our total revenues would have been lower by $18.7 million, our cost of revenues would have been lower by $0.7 million and our operating expenses would have been lower by $4.6 million from non-U.S. operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

In addition, we are exposed to risks of foreign currency fluctuation primarily from cash balances, accounts receivables and intercompany accounts denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to the resulting transaction gains and losses, which are recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses. We recognized net foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $0.2 million and losses of approximately $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. We recognized net foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $0.3 million and insignificant losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
In presenting our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported therein. Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected.
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application, while in other cases, significant judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We consider these policies requiring significant management judgment to be critical accounting policies. These critical accounting policies are:
•Revenue Recognition
•Accounting for Income Taxes
•Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

–Total revenues increased $51.2 million, or 19% year over year, driven by increases in both term-based license revenue and SaaS revenue. We remain focused on selling subscription arrangements through both term-based software licenses and SaaS offerings.
–Term-based license revenue increased $21.3 million, or 22% year over year, primarily due to a 25% increase in larger transactions (deals greater than $0.1 million). This increase was driven by a 13% increase in average deal size and a 10% increase in transaction volume, reflecting continued strength in new customer acquisition and existing customer expansion.
–SaaS revenue increased $26.7 million, or 44% year over year, reflecting higher SaaS bookings, driven by both new customer acquisitions and expansion of our existing customer base.
–Perpetual license revenue decreased $2.7 million, or 17% year over year. Perpetual licenses are generally only sold in certain verticals and geographies.
–Customer support revenue increased $3.2 million, or 4% year over year, driven by a $7.9 million increase in customer support revenue related to term-based license arrangements, partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in customer support revenue attached to perpetual license support renewals.
–Other services revenue increased $2.7 million, or 25% year over year. Changes in other services revenue can vary period over period, primarily due to the timing professional services are delivered.
We track total revenues on a geographic basis. Our Americas region includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Our International region primarily includes Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia, India, Southeast Asia and China. Americas and International represented 57% and 43% of total revenues, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Total revenues increased 15% and 26% year over year in the Americas and International, respectively.
▪The increase in Americas total revenues was primarily due to increases of 10% and 43% in term-based license and SaaS revenues, respectively, partially offset by a 42% decrease in perpetual license revenue, driven by the shift from selling perpetual licenses to subscription software arrangements. Customer support revenue remained flat compared to the same period of the prior year. Other services revenue increased 18% primarily due to the timing professional services were delivered compared to the same period of the prior year.
▪The increase in International total revenues was due to increases of 42%, 45%, 10% and 40% in term-based license, SaaS, customer support and other services revenues, respectively, partially offset by a 10% decrease in perpetual license revenue, as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Our total revenues in International is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates as further discussed above in the “Foreign Currency Exchange Rates’ Impact on Results of Operations” section.

Operating Expenses ($ in millions)
–Sales and marketing expenses increased $23.2 million, or 20%, primarily driven by a $17.5 million increase in employee compensation. This net increase reflects higher sales commissions, bonuses, and payroll taxes associated with increased headcount and higher revenue levels compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in stock-based compensation. In addition, sales and marketing expenses increased $3.5 million year over year due to higher spending on marketing initiatives, including in‑person events and travel.
–Research and development expenses increased $2.2 million, or 6%, reflecting a $1.9 million increase in employee compensation and related expenses. This increase was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation. Investing in research and development remains a priority for Commvault, and we anticipate continued responsible spending related to the development of our software applications and hosted services.
–General and administrative expenses increased $3.6 million, or 10%, reflecting a $4.0 million increase in professional services, including third-party consultants, accounting, and compliance activities. This increase was partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation. In addition, there was a $1.7 million net increase in employee compensation and related expenses reflecting the full period impact of headcount additions, primarily within our compliance and security teams.
–Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $0.1 million.
–Restructuring expenses were $11.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. These charges relate to two restructuring plans initiated during fiscal 2026 and consist primarily of severance and associated costs from headcount reductions. These charges also include $1.3 million of stock-based compensation resulting from modifications to existing awards granted to certain employees. We anticipate both plans will be completed in fiscal 2027, with approximately $20 million of additional costs expected to be incurred. Restructuring expenses were $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and related to a prior restructuring plan that was completed in fiscal 2025.
Risks associated with our restructuring plans include additional unexpected costs, adverse effects on employee morale and the failure to meet operational and growth targets due to the loss of key employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated results of operations or otherwise harm our business.

Interest Income
Interest income was $8.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in interest income compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to investment of cash balances in money market funds.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $9.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to expense of $4.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in income tax expense compared to the same period in the prior year relates primarily to current federal taxes driven by an increase in pre-tax income projections. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”), enacted on July 4, 2025, includes several corporate tax provisions relevant to U.S. businesses. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenses, extensions of bonus depreciation, and modifications to the international tax regimes. The provisions in the legislation are generally effective beginning in our fiscal 2026. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of these provisions on its financial statements, but an estimate of the financial impact has been included in our operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact to our income tax provision for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Customer support revenue remained flat compared to the same period of the prior year. Other services revenue increased 18% primarily due to the timing professional services were delivered compared to the same period of the prior year.
▪The increase in International total revenues was due to increases of 48%, 42%, 9% and 22% in term-based license, SaaS, customer support and other services revenues, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of 12% in perpetual license revenue, as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Our total revenues in International is subject to changes in foreign exchange rates as further discussed above in the “Foreign Currency Exchange Rates’ Impact on Results of Operations” section.

–Cost of SaaS revenue increased $30.5 million and represented 36% of our SaaS revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 37% for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The year over year increase is primarily the result of incremental hosting costs associated with acquisitions and an increase in the cost of infrastructure related to growth in our SaaS offerings.

Operating Expenses ($ in millions)
–Sales and marketing expenses increased $70.1 million, or 22%, primarily driven by a $38.3 million increase in employee compensation and related expenses. This net increase reflects headcount additions, as well as higher sales commissions and payroll taxes associated with higher revenue levels compared to the same period in the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses also increased $3.7 million due to higher stock-based compensation. In addition, sales and marketing expenses increased $16.1 million due to higher spending on marketing initiatives, including in‑person events and travel.
–Research and development expenses increased $15.2 million, or 14%, driven by a $10.0 million increase in employee compensation and related expenses, including $3.8 million in higher stock-based compensation. The increase in employee compensation and related expenses is primarily driven by additional headcount, including headcount added through acquisitions. Investing in research and development remains a priority for Commvault and we anticipate continued responsible spending related to the development of our software applications and hosted services.
–General and administrative expenses increased $22.5 million, or 22%, driven by a $9.2 million increase in professional services, including third party consultants, accounting and compliance activities. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we incurred $1.8 million in legal and consulting expenses as a result of our response to a non-routine security matter. General and administrative expenses also included a $3.9 million net increase in employee compensation and related expenses, reflecting the impact of annual merit increases. In addition, there was a $3.0 million increase in stock-based compensation.
–Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.1 million, or 17%, driven by the acquisition of intangible assets.
–Restructuring expenses were $13.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. These charges relate to two restructuring plans initiated during fiscal 2026 and consist primarily of severance and associated costs from headcount reductions. These charges also include $1.8 million of stock-based compensation resulting from modifications to existing awards granted to certain employees. We anticipate both plans will be completed in fiscal 2027, with approximately $20 million of additional costs expected to be incurred. Restructuring expenses were $9.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and related to a prior restructuring plan that was completed in fiscal 2025.

Table of Contents
Risks associated with our restructuring plans include additional unexpected costs, adverse effects on employee morale and the failure to meet operational and growth targets due to the loss of key employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated results of operations or otherwise harm our business.
–Change in contingent consideration: During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a reduction to expense of $0.5 million related to the final achievement under our contingent consideration arrangement related to the acquisition of Appranix, Inc. The arrangement, with final aggregate consideration of $1.9 million, was contingent upon meeting certain financial metrics by June 30, 2025 and could have ranged up to $4.0 million.
Interest Income
Interest income was $13.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $5.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in interest income compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to investment of cash balances in money market funds.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $13.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to expense of $7.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in income tax expense compared to the same period in the prior year relates primarily to current federal taxes driven by an increase in pre-tax income projections. The OBBBA, enacted on July 4, 2025, includes several corporate tax provisions relevant to U.S. businesses. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenses, extensions of bonus depreciation, and modifications to the international tax regimes. The provisions in the legislation are generally effective beginning in our fiscal 2026. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of these provisions on its financial statements, but an estimate of the financial impact has been included in our operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. The OBBBA did not have a material impact to our income tax provision for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In recent fiscal years, our principal source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations. As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $1,026.3 million, of which approximately $274.3 million was held outside of the United States by our foreign legal entities. These balances are dispersed across approximately 35 international locations. We believe that such dispersion meets the current and anticipated future liquidity needs of our foreign legal entities. In the event we need to repatriate funds from outside of the United States, such repatriation would likely be subject to restrictions by local laws and/or tax consequences, including foreign withholding taxes. Our cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash deposits and money market funds, which are highly liquid and are intended to support our operating, investing and financing needs.
On September 5, 2025, we completed a private offering of senior, unsecured convertible notes (the "Notes"), with an aggregate principal amount of $900.0 million. Net proceeds after deducting initial debt issuance costs were approximately $878.4 million. In connection with the Notes, we entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Calls") which are expected to reduce the potential dilution of our common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we could be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes. We used an aggregate amount of $99.6 million of the net proceeds of the Notes to purchase the Capped Calls. Upon conversion, consideration will consist of cash, up to the principal amount of the Notes to be converted, and, for any conversion in excess of principal, cash or shares of our common stock, at our election.
On April 15, 2025, we refinanced our existing $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, replacing it with a new five-year $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Facility is available for share repurchases, general corporate purposes, and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default which would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare all loans then outstanding to be immediately due and payable if such default is not cured within applicable grace periods. The Credit Facility also limits our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, make acquisitions or investments, make loans or advances, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends or distributions, and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at a

per annum rate determined by the Company’s election of either the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, or a base rate, which is generally the greater of a prime rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.00%. The applicable margin in each case is contingent upon the Company’s leverage ratio. Additionally, the unused balance on the Credit Facility is subject to an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum based on the Company's leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants.
On April 17, 2025, the Board approved recommitting the existing share repurchase program so that $250.0 million was available. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased $186.8 million of our common stock, of which $117.7 million was used in connection with the Notes and paid from the net proceeds. The remaining amount available under the share repurchase program as of December 31, 2025 was $63.2 million. On January 14, 2026, the Board approved recommitting our existing share repurchase program so that $250.0 million was available. The share repurchase program has no expiration date.
Our summarized cash flow information is as follows (in millions):

| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 724.3 | $ | (69.2) | ||||||||||
–Net cash provided by operating activities was driven by net income adjusted for non-cash charges and an increase in deferred revenue, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Cash from operating activities can fluctuate period‑to‑period, including when customer payments are received and when certain expenses are paid. These working capital impacts are primarily timing‑based and reflect the normal course of our business operations. Management considers operating cash flow trends over multiple periods, as quarterly results may reflect normal variability in billing and collection cycles.
–Net cash used in investing activities was the result of $26.0 million for the acquisition of Satori Cyber Ltd., $6.8 million for the purchase of equity securities and $7.2 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $34.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of Commvault's corporate headquarters.
–Net cash provided by financing activities was the result of $900.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and $7.0 million of proceeds from the ESPP, partially offset by $186.8 million of repurchases of our common stock, $99.6 million for the purchase of the Capped Calls and $23.4 million of payment of debt issuance costs.

Table of Contents
Working capital increased $748.4 million from $80.0 million as of March 31, 2025 to $828.4 million as of December 31, 2025. The net increase in working capital was primarily the result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents from the issuance of convertible notes and an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by an increase in the current portion of deferred revenue.
Our primary cash needs over the next 12 months and longer term include working capital requirements, income taxes, capital expenditures, potential stock repurchases and the potential cash portion of consideration upon conversion or at maturity of the Notes. We have discretion to settle conversion consideration above principal in cash, stock, or a combination; the timing and amount of any related cash outflows will depend on our stock price, conversion activity, and our financing strategy. We believe our existing cash and cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet these cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of recently issued accounting standards.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Convertible Senior Notes
On September 5, 2025, we issued the Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $900.0 million. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into privately negotiated Capped Calls with certain counterparties. The Capped Calls are expected generally to offset the potential dilution to our common stock as a result of any conversion of the Notes.
We do not have economic interest rate exposure on the Notes as the Notes have a 0% interest rate; however, the fair value of the Notes is exposed to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair value of the Notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. As of December 31, 2025, we carried the Notes at face value less unamortized debt issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets. For further information refer to Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Foreign Currency Risk
Economic Exposure
As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our international sales are generally denominated in foreign currencies and this revenue could be materially affected by currency fluctuations. Approximately 47% of our sales were outside the United States for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Our primary exposures are to fluctuations in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus the Euro, and to a lesser extent, the Australian dollar, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Korean won and Singapore dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our reported revenues and require us to reduce our prices to remain competitive in foreign markets, which could also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Historically, we have periodically reviewed and revised the pricing of our products available to our customers in foreign countries and we have not maintained excess cash balances in foreign accounts.
Transaction Exposure
Our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses is primarily the result of certain net receivables due from our foreign subsidiaries and customers being denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. Our foreign subsidiaries conduct their businesses in local currency and we generally do not maintain excess U.S. dollar cash balances in foreign accounts. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. We recognized net foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $0.2 million and losses of approximately $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, respectively. We recognized net foreign currency transaction gains of approximately $0.3 million and insignificant losses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the control system are 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 inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to claims in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. We do not believe that we are currently party to any pending legal action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or operating results. Please refer to Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 for additional information.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, which are incorporated herein by reference, and could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial conditions or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose part or all of their investment.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, other than the following:
Risks Related to Our Convertible Senior Notes
We may lack the cash or financing capacity to satisfy required cash payments under the Notes, including upon conversion, following a fundamental change, or at maturity.
On September 5, 2025, we issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) and entered into related capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”). If a Fundamental Change occurs (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require us to repurchase the Notes in cash at 100% of principal plus any special or additional interest (together capped at 0.50% per annum). If holders convert, we may elect to settle in cash, shares, or a combination. We must also repay any Notes that remain outstanding at maturity in cash, which could require refinancing. Our ability to fund required cash amounts will depend on cash on hand, cash flows, and access to capital markets and credit facilities, and may be limited by law, regulation, or agreements governing our indebtedness. We may not redeem the Notes before September 22, 2028, and any optional redemption thereafter requires our common stock to trade at or above 130% of the conversion price for a specified period, which may affect the timing and magnitude of cash outflows. Failure to make a required cash payment would constitute a default under the Indenture and could result in cross-defaults or accelerations under other indebtedness.
The conditional conversion feature of the Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.
If the conditional conversion feature of the Notes is triggered, holders may convert their Notes during specified periods. Unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation solely by delivering shares of our common stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation in cash, which could adversely affect liquidity. Even if no conversions occur, applicable accounting rules could require us to reclassify all or a portion of the Notes as current liabilities, reducing our reported working capital.
Conversion of the Notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock, and the Capped Calls may provide only partial offset.
The Notes are initially convertible at 4.2215 shares per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $236.88 per share. If we elect to settle conversions in shares, existing stockholders will be diluted. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon certain events and may be increased for a limited period in connection with specified corporate events, which could amplify dilution. The Capped Calls offset dilution only up to an initial cap of approximately $357.56 per share, and above that level dilution will not be mitigated. In addition, the existence of the Notes may encourage short selling by market participants, because
40
Table of Contents
conversions can be used to satisfy short positions, and expectations of potential conversion could depress our common stock price.
Hedging activity by Capped Call counterparties may affect the trading price of our stock and the value of the Notes.
Banks party to the Capped Calls (or their affiliates) may establish, adjust, or unwind hedges in our common stock or related derivatives, including during any conversion observation period and around redemption or unwind events, which could increase or decrease the trading price of our common stock and, during an observation period, affect the amount of conversion consideration and the value of the Notes.
Accounting for the Notes and Capped Calls may increase volatility in our reported financial results.
The Notes and Capped Calls are subject to complex accounting requirements. Although the Capped Calls are accounted for in stockholders’ equity and therefore not remeasured each period, conversions and changes in our share count may affect diluted earnings per share, and application of the relevant accounting standards may introduce period-to-period volatility in our reported results.
Risks Related to Our Business
We implemented new restructuring plans in fiscal 2026, which we cannot guarantee will achieve their intended results.
In fiscal 2026, we initiated restructuring plans intended to optimize our cost structure, enhance organizational agility, align resources with strategic priorities, and reorganize our business technology function. We cannot guarantee the restructuring plans will achieve their intended results. Risks associated with these restructuring plans also include additional unexpected costs, adverse effects on employee morale, and the failure to meet operation and growth targets due to the loss of key employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated results of operations or otherwise harm our business.
