Positive

Revenue recognized increased to $311.6 million from $261.4 million year-over-year for the three months ended July 31, 2025
Remaining performance obligations (RPO) of $1.461 billion, with ~65% expected to be recognized within 12 months
Strong liquidity position of $1.494 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities

Negative

Services gross margin declined to (2)% from 1% year-over-year, driven by higher personnel, travel, and subcontractor costs
Accumulated deficit of $1.124 billion as of July 31, 2025 indicates continued historical losses
Material litigation (putative securities class action) has been filed and the company cannot predict the outcome or estimate potential losses

Insights

TL;DR: Revenue growth and strong liquidity contrast with continued operating losses and notable deferred revenue backlog.

Revenue conversion from deferred balances increased year-over-year, indicating solid contract monetization; the $1.461 billion RPO provides near-term visibility with ~65% expected in the next 12 months. Liquidity of $1.494 billion supports operations for at least 12 months per management. However, services gross margin turned negative and operating losses persist as reflected in a $1.124 billion accumulated deficit. The Senior Notes remain a material liability with fair value near $547.4 million. Ongoing securities litigation introduces legal uncertainty. Overall, the quarter shows operational momentum in revenue recognition but continued margin and loss challenges.

TL;DR: Governance disclosures highlight share authorizations, equity programs, and insider trading plans amid litigation risk.

The company reaffirmed board authorization to issue up to 20% of issued share capital for 18 months and detailed equity plans including the 2022 ESPP and 2012 Plan with outstanding unrecognized stock-based compensation. Two senior officers adopted Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements during the quarter. The filing discloses a putative class securities complaint expanded to cover June 2, 2023 through August 29, 2024; management intends to defend vigorously but cannot estimate potential losses at this stage.

1. Organization and Description of Business

Elastic N.V. (individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Elastic” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands in 2012. The Company created Elastic’s Search AI Platform, a powerful set of software products that ingest and store data from any source and in any format, and perform search, analysis, and visualization on that data. Developers build on top of the Company’s platform to apply the power of search to their data and solve business problems. The Company offers three software solutions built into its platform: Elasticsearch, Elastic Observability, and Elastic Security. The Company’s platform and its solutions are designed to run across hybrid clouds, public or private clouds, and multi-cloud environments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2025 and interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of July 31, 2025; results of the Company’s operations for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024; statements of shareholders’ equity for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024; and statements of cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in the notes to these interim condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three-month periods are also unaudited. The results for the three months ended July 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026, or any other future period.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of April 30, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on June 10, 2025 (the “Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends on April 30. References to fiscal 2026, for example, refer to the fiscal year ending April 30, 2026.

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, allowance for credit losses, valuation of stock-based compensation, fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill, useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, discount rate used for operating leases, and valuation allowance for deferred income taxes. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events.

Table of Contents

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates or judgments or revise the carrying value of the Company’s assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not adopt any accounting pronouncements during the three months ended July 31, 2025.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Income Taxes: In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhancements and further transparency for certain income tax disclosures. The new guidance mandates consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the tax rate reconciliation, as well as disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2025. The Company plans to adopt this standard in its fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and is currently assessing the appropriate transition method.

Financial Instruments: In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, including those assets acquired in a business combination. The practical expedient permits an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The guidance becomes effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. An entity that elects the practical expedient should apply the guidance prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income: In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. The guidance becomes effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2027, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after April 30, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents revenue by category (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended July 31,
		2025	2024
			Amount		% of Total Revenue		Amount		% of Total Revenue
Annual Elastic Cloud			$	145,912	35	%	$	111,031	32	%
Monthly Elastic Cloud			49,862		12	%	46,250		13	%
Total Elastic Cloud			195,774		47	%	157,281		45	%

Services			26,705		6	%	23,646		7	%
Total revenue			$	415,288	100	%	$	347,420	100	%

Concentration of Credit Risk

One customer, a channel partner, accounted for 12% of total revenue during the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024. The same customer accounted for 12% of net accounts receivable as of July 31, 2025. No customer accounted for 10% or more of net accounts receivable as of April 30, 2025.

Deferred Revenue

The Company recognized revenue of $311.6 million and $261.4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each of the respective periods.

Unbilled Accounts Receivable

Unbilled accounts receivable is recorded as part of accounts receivable, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of July 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025, unbilled accounts receivable was $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not been recognized, including deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The Company’s RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements as there are no minimum purchase commitments associated with such arrangements.

As of July 31, 2025, the Company had $1.461 billion of RPO, of which the Company expects to recognize approximately 65% as revenue over the next twelve months, approximately 91% over the next twenty-four months, and the remainder thereafter.

Deferred Contract Acquisition Costs

Amortization expense with respect to deferred contract acquisition costs was $26.2 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company did not recognize any impairment of deferred contract acquisition costs for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Financial Assets

The Company measures financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company considers all highly liquid investments, including money market funds with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

Table of Contents

The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available for sale and considered to be available for use in current operations and, therefore, the Company classifies them within current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets to determine the fair value of its Level 1 investments. For Level 2 investments, the Company uses inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded.

The following table summarizes assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2025 (in thousands):

5. Acquisitions

Paladin Data Inc.

On May 21, 2025, Elasticsearch, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100% of the share capital of Paladin Data Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Keep Alerting Ltd. (collectively, “Keep”), for a total purchase consideration of $10.9 million. The purchase consideration includes $1.4 million held back by the Company for indemnity obligations, which will be released upon the 18-month anniversary of the acquisition.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and, accordingly, the total purchase consideration was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The total purchase price allocated to developed technology and goodwill was $4.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The fair value assigned to developed technology was determined using the cost to recreate approach. The developed technology asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of 5 years, which approximates the pattern in which the developed technology is utilized. Goodwill resulted primarily from the expectation of enhancing Elastic’s Search AI-powered solutions and the value of the acquired workforce. The resulting goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The financial results of Keep have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations since the acquisition date. Pro forma and historical results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as they were not material to the condensed consolidated results of operations.

7. Senior Notes

In July 2021, the Company issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in a private placement.

Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. Total debt issuance costs of $9.3 million are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Senior Notes. The Company may at its election redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes, on any one or more occasions, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes (the “Indenture”), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. The Company may also at its election redeem the Senior Notes in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if certain changes in tax law occur as set forth in the Indenture.

If the Company experiences a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

The Indenture contains covenants limiting the Company’s ability and the ability of certain subsidiaries to create liens on certain assets to secure debt; grant a subsidiary guarantee of certain debt without also providing a guarantee of the Senior Notes; and consolidate or merge with or into, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Cloud Hosting Commitments

During the three months ended July 31, 2025, there were no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, to the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Letters of Credit

The Company had a total of $2.9 million in letters of credit outstanding in favor of certain landlords for office space as of July 31, 2025.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company has become involved in claims and other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company investigates these claims as they arise. Although claims are inherently unpredictable, the Company is currently not aware of any matters that, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

On February 11, 2025, an alleged shareholder of the Company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company and one of its executive officers, Ashutosh Kulkarni, as well as a former executive officer of the Company, Janesh Moorjani, on behalf of a putative class of shareholders of the Company who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s ordinary shares during the period from May 31, 2024 to August 29, 2024. The complaint, captioned “In re Elastic N.V. Securities Litigation,” alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omitted material information about the Company’s business and financial results during the foregoing period in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5, which allegedly resulted in artificially inflated prices of the Company’s shares. The complaint states that plaintiffs seek damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. In May 2025, the Court appointed Lucid Alternative Fund, LP and Jeff Milan as co-lead plaintiffs in this matter. On August 1, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, citing the same core theories and claims but extending the class period such that it covers the period June 2, 2023 to August 29, 2024. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company can neither predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation nor estimate any range of possible losses.

The Company accrues estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and reasonably estimable.

Indemnification

The Company enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, including business partners, landlords, contractors and parties performing its research and development. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable. The Company to date has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the fair value of these agreements is not material. The Company maintains commercial general liability insurance and product liability insurance to offset certain of the Company’s potential liabilities under these indemnification provisions.

In addition, the Company indemnifies its officers, directors and certain key employees against certain liabilities that may arise as a result of their service on behalf of the Company. To date, there have been no claims under any indemnification provisions.

9. Leases

The Company’s leases provide for rental of corporate office space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that expire at various dates through fiscal 2036. The Company does not have any finance leases.

2012 Stock Option Plan

Under the Company’s 2012 Stock Option Plan (as amended and restated, the “2012 Plan”), the board of directors, the compensation committee, as administrator of the 2012 Plan, and any other duly authorized committee may grant stock options and other equity-based awards, such as restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (which include performance share units) to eligible employees, directors, and consultants to attract and retain talented personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors, and consultants, and to promote the success of the Company’s business.

The Company’s board of directors, compensation committee, or other duly authorized committee determines the vesting schedule for all equity-based awards. Stock options and RSUs granted to employees generally vest over four years, subject to the employees’ continued service to the Company.

13. Income Taxes

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $24.6 million and $20.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The calculation of income taxes is based upon the estimated annual effective tax rates for the year applied to the current period income before tax plus the tax effect of any significant unusual items, discrete events, or changes in tax law. The Company’s effective tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in jurisdictions both within and outside the Netherlands and the relative amounts of income that is earned in those jurisdictions, non-deductible stock-based compensation, one-time tax benefits or charges, and Base Erosion and Anti-abuse Tax (the “BEAT”) legislation in the United States.

The Company assesses uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainties in Tax. The Company anticipates that the amount of reasonably possible unrecognized tax benefits that could decrease over the next twelve months due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and settlement of tax audits is not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law, introducing significant changes to U.S. federal tax law. While certain provisions of OBBBA are effective in the current fiscal period and have been reflected in the Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2025, based on available guidance, other provisions are effective in future periods and may impact the Company’s provision for income taxes prospectively. Some aspects of the legislation remain subject to further clarification and interpretive guidance. The Company continues to assess the impact of the law on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and will update the estimates as additional guidance becomes available.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) published Pillar Two Model Rules defining a global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. The OECD has since issued administrative guidance providing transition and safe harbor rules concerning the implementation of the Pillar Two global minimum tax. Many countries in which the Company operates continue to announce changes in their tax laws and regulations based on the Pillar Two framework. The Company determined that Pillar Two did not have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision for the three months ended July 31, 2025. The Company continues to monitor the impact of proposed and enacted global tax legislation. On June 28, 2025, the G7 (comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) released a statement that outlines a shared understanding of a “side-by-side” solution to United States concerns with respect to Pillar Two. Significant details regarding the provisions of the existing guidance and the future side-by-side system are still uncertain as the OECD, G7, and participating countries continue to work toward defining the underlying rules and administrative procedures.

14. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a defined-contribution plan in the United States intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The Company has contracted with a third-party provider to act as the 401(k) Plan’s custodian and trustee, and to process and maintain the records of participant data. Substantially all the expenses incurred for administering the 401(k) Plan are paid by the Company. The 401(k) Plan covers substantially all U.S. employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company makes contributions to the 401(k) Plan of up to 6% of the participating employee’s W-2 earnings and wages. The Company recorded $5.7 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to the 401(k) Plan.

The Company also has defined-contribution and other employee benefit plans in certain other countries for which the Company recorded $4.3 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

15. Segment Information

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The Company’s CODM reviews discrete financial information at the consolidated level to make operating decisions, allocate resources, and evaluate financial performance. The Company operates in one operating segment and, therefore, one reportable segment.

The CODM uses consolidated net loss to measure segment profit or loss to evaluate the Company's overall performance and identify any underlying trends in the business to facilitate the allocation of resources to support strategic priorities and capital allocation needs (including personnel-related and other financial or capital resources).

Table of Contents

Significant segment expenses that are reviewed and utilized by the CODM at the consolidated level to manage the Company’s operations include cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses, which are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other segment items that impact net loss include interest expense, other income, net, and the provision for income taxes, which are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Overview

Elastic, the Search AI Company, enables its customers to transform data into answers, actions, and outcomes with Search AI. Our platform combines the precision of search with the intelligence of AI to help our customers and community solve real-time business problems, unlock potential value, and achieve better outcomes. Our platform, available as either a cloud service or a self-managed software, allows our customers to find insights and drive AI and machine learning use cases from large amounts of data.

We offer three Search AI-powered solutions—Elasticsearch, Elastic Observability, and Elastic Security—that are built on our platform. We help organizations, their employees, and their customers find what they need faster, while keeping mission-critical applications and infrastructure running smoothly and protecting against cyber threats.

Our platform is able to ingest data from any source, in any format, and perform search, analysis, and visualization of that data. With Elasticsearch at its core, our platform is a highly scalable document store and search engine and is the unified data store for all of our solutions and use cases. Featuring a common, solution-agnostic user interface with powerful drag-and-drop visual analytics and centralized management capabilities, our platform gives developers a full suite of sophisticated retrieval algorithms and the ability to integrate with large language models (“LLM”). It delivers the comprehensive set of capabilities developers need to build, maintain, and secure next-generation applications and services. Our platform can be used by developers and IT decision makers to power a variety of use cases.

We make our platform available as a service across major cloud providers. Customers can also deploy our platform across hybrid clouds, public or private clouds, and multi-cloud environments. As digital transformation continues to drive mission-critical business functions to the cloud, we believe that every company must incorporate search AI capabilities across IT and line-of-business organizations to find the answers that matter from all of its data in real time and at scale.

Our business model is based primarily on a combination of paid service offerings (Elastic Cloud Hosted and Elastic Cloud Serverless) and free and paid proprietary self-managed software (Elastic Self-Managed). Our paid offerings for our platform are sold via subscription through resource-based pricing, and all customers and users have access to varying levels of features across all solutions. In Elastic Cloud, our family of cloud-based offerings, we offer various subscription tiers tied to different features. For users who download our software, we make some of the features of our software available free of charge, allowing us to engage with a broad community of developers and practitioners and introduce them to the value of our platform.

We believe in the importance of an open software development model, and we develop the majority of our software in public repositories under an open source GNU Affero General Public License v3 (“AGPL”) license, as well as under a proprietary license. Unlike some companies, we do not build an enterprise version that is separate from our free distribution. We maintain a single code base across both our self-managed software and Elastic-hosted services. All of these actions help us build a powerful commercial business model that we believe is optimized for product-driven growth. Elastic has always been committed to open source and an open development process with transparent and direct engagement with our community. The core of Elasticsearch and Kibana (a user interface) are open source under an AGPL license, and our open source code is housed in public repositories.

Table of Contents

We generate revenue primarily from sales of subscriptions to our platform. We offer various paid subscription tiers that provide different levels of rights to use proprietary features and access to support. We do not sell support separately. Our subscription agreements typically range from one to three years and are usually billed annually in advance. Our subscription agreements are both term-based and consumption-based, with the vast majority of Elastic Cloud subscriptions being consumption-based. We sell subscriptions in various currencies, with the majority of our subscriptions contracted in U.S. dollars, and a smaller portion contracted in Euro, British Pound Sterling, and other currencies. Elastic Cloud customers may also purchase subscriptions on a month-to-month basis without a commitment, with usage billed at the end of each month. Subscriptions accounted for 94% and 93% of total revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We also generate revenue from consulting and training services.

We make it easy for users to begin using our products in order to drive rapid adoption. Users can either sign up for a free trial on Elastic Cloud, or download our software directly from our website without any sales interaction and immediately begin using the full set of features. Users can also sign up for Elastic Cloud through public cloud marketplaces. We conduct low-touch campaigns to keep users and customers engaged once they have begun using Elastic Cloud or have downloaded our software. We define a customer as an entity that generated revenue in the quarter ending on the measurement date from an annual or month-to-month subscription. Affiliated entities are typically counted as a single customer.

Many of these customers start with limited initial spending on our products but can significantly increase their spending over time. We drive high-touch engagement with qualified prospects and customers to drive further awareness, adoption, and expansion of our products with paid subscriptions. Expansion includes increasing the number of developers and practitioners using our products, increasing the utilization of our products for a particular use case, and utilizing our products to address new use cases. The number of customers who represented greater than $100,000 in annual contract value (“ACV”) was over 1,550 and over 1,370 as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The ACV of a customer’s commitments is calculated based on the terms of that customer’s subscriptions, and represents the total committed annual subscription amount as of the measurement date. Month-to-month subscriptions are not included in the calculation of ACV.

Our sales teams are organized primarily by geography and secondarily by customer segments. They focus on both seeking to obtain new customers and on pursuing additional sales to existing customers. In addition to our direct sales efforts, we maintain partnerships to further extend our reach and awareness of our products around the world.

We continue to make substantial investments in developing our platform and expanding our global sales and marketing footprint. With a distributed team spanning over 40 countries, we are able to recruit, hire, and retain high-quality, experienced technical and sales personnel and operate at a rapid pace to drive product releases, fix bugs, and create and market new products. We had 3,711 employees as of July 31, 2025.

Current Economic Conditions

Macroeconomic events, including a possible resurgence in inflation, fluctuations in economic growth, changes in and uncertainty of international trade policies, and political unrest, continue to evolve and impact worldwide economic activity. Governmental and corporate responses to these factors, including changing interest rates and unpredictable and decreased spending, will continue to affect the macroeconomic conditions. We have experienced and, if economic conditions deteriorate, may continue to experience longer and more unpredictable sales cycles, increased scrutiny of prospective sales, slowing consumption and overall customer expenditures, and the impacts of changing foreign exchange rates with a strengthening or weakening U.S. dollar. We continue to closely monitor the macroeconomic environment and its effects on our business and on global economic activity, including customer spending behavior. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Developments

On July 4, 2025, OBBBA was enacted into law, introducing significant changes to U.S. federal tax law. The legislation includes provisions that impacted the Company in the three months ended July 31, 2025 and other provisions that will be effective in future periods. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the laws as further clarifications and interpretive guidance become available. See Note 13, “Income Taxes,” of our accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Key Factors Affecting our Performance

We believe that the growth and future success of our business depends on many factors, including those described below. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain our growth and improve our results of operations.

Table of Contents

Developing new features for Elastic’s Search AI Platform. Our platform is applied to various use cases by customers, including through the solutions we offer. Our revenue is derived primarily from subscriptions of Search, Observability and Security built into our platform. We believe that releasing additional features of our platform, including our solutions, drives usage of our products and ultimately drives our growth. To that end, we plan to continue to invest in building new features and solutions that expand the capabilities of our platform. These investments may adversely affect our operating results prior to generating benefits, to the extent that they ultimately generate benefits at all.

Growing the Elastic community. Our strategy consists of providing access to source available software, on both a paid and free-of-charge basis, and fostering a community of users and developers. Our strategy is designed to pursue what we believe to be significant untapped potential for the use of our technology. After developers begin to use our software and start to participate in our developer community, they become more likely to apply our technology to additional use cases and promote our technology within their organizations. This reduces the time required for our sales force to educate potential customers on our solutions. To capitalize on our opportunity, we intend to make further investments to keep our platform accessible and well known to software developers around the world. We intend to continue to invest in our products and support and engage our user base and developer community through content, events, and conferences in the United States and internationally. Our results of operations may fluctuate as we make these investments.

Growing our customer base by converting users of our software to paid subscribers. Our financial performance depends on growing our paid customer base by converting free users of our software into paid subscribers. Our distribution model has resulted in rapid adoption by developers around the world. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, heavily in sales and marketing efforts to convert additional free users to paid subscribers. Our investment in sales and marketing is significant given our large and diverse user base. These investments are likely to occur before we realize the anticipated benefits of such investments, such that they may adversely affect our operating results in the near term.

On November 12, 2024, we added the AGPL as an option to license the free part of our Elasticsearch and Kibana source code that has been available under the Elastic License 2.0 and Server Side Public License Version 1.0. AGPL is an Open Source Initiative-approved open source license. We anticipate that the addition of this license will drive further engagement and adoption of our software in areas such as vector search within our large community, further increasing our appeal for driving AI and machine learning use cases from large amounts of data. Subject to compliance with the conditions of AGPL, anyone may also redistribute our software in modified or unmodified form or use it to provide a competitive product or service offering.

Expanding within our current customer base. Our future growth and profitability depend on our ability to drive additional sales to existing customers. Customers often expand the use of our software within their organizations by increasing the number of developers using our products, increasing the utilization of our products for a particular use case, and expanding use of our products to additional use cases. We focus some of our direct sales efforts on encouraging these types of expansion within our customer base.

We believe that a useful indication of how our customer relationships have expanded over time is through our Net Expansion Rate, which is based upon trends in the rate at which customers increase their spend with us. To calculate an expansion rate as of the end of a given month, we start with the annualized spend from all such customers as of twelve months prior to that month end, which we refer to as Prior Period Value. A customer’s annualized spend is measured as its ACV, or in the case of customers charged on usage-based arrangements, by annualizing the usage for that month. We then calculate the annualized spend from these same customers as of the given month end, which we refer to as Current Period Value, which includes any growth in the value of their subscriptions or usage and is net of contraction or attrition over the prior twelve months. We then divide the Current Period Value by the Prior Period Value to arrive at an expansion rate. The Net Expansion Rate at the end of any period is the weighted average of the expansion rates as of the end of each of the trailing twelve months. The Net Expansion Rate includes the dollar-weighted value of our subscriptions or usage that expand, renew, contract, or experience attrition. For instance, if each customer had a one-year subscription and renewed its subscription for the same amount, the Net Expansion Rate would be 100%. Customers who reduced their annual subscription dollar value (contraction) or did not renew their annual subscription (attrition) would adversely affect the Net Expansion Rate. Our Net Expansion Rate was approximately 112% as of July 31, 2025.

As large organizations expand their use of our platform across multiple use cases, projects, divisions and users, they often begin to require centralized provisioning, management and monitoring across multiple deployments. To satisfy these requirements, our Enterprise subscription tier provides access to key orchestration and deployment management capabilities. We will continue to focus some of our direct sales efforts on driving adoption of our paid offerings.

Increasing adoption of Elastic Cloud. Elastic Cloud, our family of cloud-based offerings, is an important growth opportunity for our business. Organizations are increasingly looking for hosted deployment alternatives with reduced administrative burdens. In some cases, users of our source available software that have been self-managing deployments of our platform subsequently become paying subscribers of Elastic Cloud. For the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, Elastic Cloud contributed 47% and 45% of our total revenue, respectively. We believe that offering Elastic Cloud is important for achieving our long-term growth potential, and we expect Elastic Cloud’s contribution to our subscription revenue to continue to increase over time. However, we expect that an increase in the relative contribution of Elastic Cloud to our business will continue to have a modest adverse impact on our gross margin as a result of the associated third-party hosting costs.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Subscription. Our revenue is primarily generated through the sale of subscriptions to software, which is either self-managed by the user or hosted and managed by us in the cloud. Subscriptions provide the right to use paid proprietary software features and access to support for our paid and unpaid software. Our subscription agreements are either term-based or consumption-based, with the vast majority of Elastic Cloud subscriptions being consumption-based.

A portion of the revenue from self-managed subscriptions is generally recognized up front at the point in time when the license is delivered and the remainder is recognized ratably over the subscription term. Revenue from subscriptions that require access to the cloud or that are hosted and managed by us is recognized ratably over the subscription term or on a usage basis for consumption-based arrangements. Both are presented within Subscription revenue in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Services. Services is composed of implementation and other consulting services as well as public and private training. Revenue for services is recognized as these services are delivered.

Cost of Revenue

Subscription. Cost of subscription consists primarily of personnel and related costs for employees associated with supporting our subscription arrangements, certain third-party expenses, and amortization of certain intangible and other assets. Personnel and related costs comprise cash compensation, benefits and stock-based compensation to employees, costs of third-party contractors, and allocated overhead costs. Third-party expenses consist of cloud hosting costs and other expenses directly associated with our customer support. We expect our cost of subscription to increase in absolute dollars as our subscription revenue increases.

Services. Cost of services revenue consists primarily of personnel costs directly associated with delivery of training, implementation and other services, costs of third-party contractors, facility rental charges and allocated overhead costs. We expect our cost of services to increase in absolute dollars as we invest in our business and as services revenue increases.

Gross profit and gross margin. Gross profit represents revenue less cost of revenue. Gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the timing of our acquisition of new customers and our renewals with existing customers, the average sales price of our subscriptions and services, the amount of our revenue represented by hosted services, the mix of subscriptions sold, the mix of revenue between subscriptions and services, the mix of services between consulting and training, transaction volume growth and support case volume growth. We expect our gross margin to fluctuate over time depending on the factors described above. We expect our revenue from Elastic Cloud to continue to increase as a percentage of total revenue, which we expect will continue to have a modest unfavorable impact on our gross margin as a result of the associated third-party hosting costs.

Operating Expenses

Research and development. Research and development expense primarily consists of personnel and related costs and allocated overhead costs. We expect our research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop new technology and invest further in our existing products.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense primarily consists of personnel and related costs, commissions, allocated overhead costs and costs related to marketing programs and user events. Marketing programs consist of advertising, events, brand-building and customer acquisition and retention activities. We expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our sales force and increase our investments in marketing resources. We capitalize sales commissions and associated payroll taxes paid to internal sales personnel that are related to the acquisition of certain customer contracts. Deferred contract acquisition costs are amortized over the expected benefit period.

Table of Contents

General and administrative. General and administrative expense primarily consists of personnel and related costs for our management, finance, legal, human resources, and other administrative employees. Our general and administrative expense also includes professional fees, accounting fees, audit fees, tax services and legal fees, as well as insurance, allocated overhead costs, and other corporate expenses. We expect our general and administrative expense to increase in absolute dollars as we increase the size of our general and administrative functions to support the growth of our business.

Restructuring and other related charges. Restructuring and other related charges primarily consist of employee-related severance and other termination benefits as well as lease impairment and other facilities-related charges.

Other Income, Net

Interest expense. Interest expense primarily consists of interest on our Senior Notes.

Other income, net. Other income, net primarily consists of interest income, gains and losses from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, and miscellaneous other non-operating gains and losses.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes related to the Netherlands, U.S. federal and state, and foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Our effective tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in jurisdictions outside the Netherlands and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions, non-deductible stock-based compensation, and one-time tax benefits, such as the BEAT legislation in the United States.

Cost of subscription revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 2%, for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.9 million in cloud infrastructure costs, $0.7 million in personnel and related costs, $0.7 million in third-party costs, and $0.7 million in travel and training expenses. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $1.7 million in intangible assets amortization and $0.3 million software and equipment costs. Subscription gross margin increased to 82% for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to 79% the same period of the prior year due to lower cloud infrastructure costs.

Cost of services revenue increased by $3.9 million, or 17%, for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to increases of $1.7 million in personnel and related costs, $1.4 million in travel expenses, and $0.7 million in subcontractor costs. Gross margin for services revenue was (2)% for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to 1% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to personnel and related costs, travel expenses, and subcontractor costs growing at a higher rate than the growth in services revenue. We continue to make investments in our services organization that we believe will be needed to support our continued growth. Our gross margin for services may fluctuate or decline in the near term as we seek to expand our services business.

Provision for Income Taxes


	Three Months Ended July 31,				Change
	2025		2024		$		%

	(in thousands)
Provision for income taxes	$	24,594	$	20,071	$	4,523	23	%

The provision for income taxes increased by $4.5 million, or 23%, for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2025 is not meaningful. Our interim tax provision excludes pre-tax losses in jurisdictions where a valuation allowance is maintained, which causes the provision to reflect only tax provisions in jurisdictions with profitable operations and results in a disproportionate effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate was (69)% of our net loss before income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2024. Our effective tax rate is affected by recurring items, such as tax rates in jurisdictions outside the Netherlands and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions and non-deductible stock-based compensation as well as one-time tax benefits or charges.

We maintain a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and certain states in the United States. To the extent sufficient positive evidence becomes available, we may release all or a portion of our valuation allowance in one or more future periods. A release of valuation allowance, if any, would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and could result in a material income tax benefit for the period in which such release is recorded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling $1.494 billion. Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities consist of highly liquid investment-grade fixed-income securities. We believe that the credit quality of the securities portfolio is strong and diversified among industries and individual issuers.

We have generated significant operating losses from our operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $1.124 billion as of July 31, 2025. We have historically incurred, and expect to continue to incur, operating losses and may generate negative cash flows from operations in the future due to the investments we intend to make. As a result, we may require additional capital resources to execute our strategic initiatives to grow our business.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and cash from our future operations will be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months, despite the uncertainty in the changing market and macroeconomic conditions. Our assessment of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could vary as a result of, and our future capital requirements, both near-term and long-term, will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support our research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing of new introductions of solutions or product features, and the continuing market acceptance of our solutions and services.

We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We have based our estimate of the adequacy of our financial resources on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available resources sooner than we currently expect.

In July 2021, we issued long-term debt of $575.0 million, represented by our Senior Notes, and we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. As market conditions warrant, we may from time to time seek to purchase our outstanding debt securities or loans, including the Senior Notes, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

Net cash provided by financing activities	$	326	$	4,745

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended July 31, 2025 was $104.8 million, which resulted from adjustments for non-cash charges of $120.8 million and a net cash inflow of $8.6 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by net loss of $24.6 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $69.9 million for stock-based compensation expense, $26.2 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, and $21.6 million in deferred income taxes. The net cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted from a $154.0 million decrease in accounts receivable, net, which was partially offset by outflows from a $97.9 million decrease in deferred revenue, a $22.3 million increase in deferred contract acquisition costs, a $16.3 million net decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued compensation and benefits, a $6.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $2.7 million decrease in operating lease liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended July 31, 2024 was $52.8 million, which resulted from adjustments for non-cash charges of $106.4 million, partially offset by net loss of $49.2 million and a net cash outflow of $4.4 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $63.5 million for stock-based compensation expense, $23.2 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, $14.7 million in deferred income taxes, $4.2 million of depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense, and $2.8 million in non-cash operating lease costs, the effects of which were partially offset by $2.2 million from amortization of premium and accretion of discount on marketable securities, net. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted from a $69.3 million decrease in deferred revenue, a $43.2 million decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued compensation and benefits, a $13.9 million increase in deferred contract acquisition costs, a $3.4 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, and a $1.8 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. These outflows were partially offset by inflows from a $127.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, net.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $170.4 million during the three months ended July 31, 2025 was primarily due to purchases of marketable securities of $248.6 million, business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $8.5 million, and purchases of property and equipment of $0.7 million, partially offset by sales, maturities, and redemptions of marketable securities of $87.4 million.

Net cash used in investing activities of $3.5 million during the three months ended July 31, 2024 was primarily due to the purchase of marketable securities of $95.2 million and purchases of property and equipment of $0.7 million. These expenditures were offset by cash provided by sales, maturities, and redemptions of marketable securities of $92.4 million.

Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.3 million during the three months ended July 31, 2025 was due to proceeds from stock option exercises.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $4.7 million during the three months ended July 31, 2024 was due to proceeds from stock option exercises.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our principal commitments consist of obligations under our operating leases, which are primarily for office space, and purchase commitments to our cloud hosting providers. There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk in the ordinary course of our business.

Interest Rate Risk

We had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities totaling $1.498 billion as of July 31, 2025. Our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are held in cash deposits and money market funds, and our marketable securities are held in time deposits and corporate and government debt securities. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of capital, the fulfillment of liquidity needs, and the fiduciary control of cash and investments. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we do not believe that an immediate 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce our future interest income.

In July 2021, we issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in a private placement. The fair value of the Senior Notes is subject to market risk. In addition, the fair market value of the Senior Notes is exposed to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of our fixed interest rate Senior Notes will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Although the interest rate and market value changes affect the fair value of the Senior Notes, they do not impact our financial position, cash flows, or results of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligation. Additionally, we carry the Senior Notes at face value less unamortized debt issuance cost on our balance sheet, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our revenue and expenses are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, and to a lesser extent the Euro, British Pound Sterling, and other currencies. To date, we have not had a formal hedging program with respect to foreign currency, but we may adopt such a program in the future if our exposure to foreign currency were to become more significant. For business conducted outside of the United States, we may have both revenue and costs incurred in the local currency of the subsidiary, creating a partial natural hedge. Although changes to exchange rates have not had a material impact on our net operating results to date, we will continue to reassess our foreign exchange exposure as we continue to grow our business globally.

We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our operating results as a result of transaction gains or losses related to remeasurement of certain asset and liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded. An immediate 10% increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies could have a material effect on our revenue, operating expenses, and net loss. As a component of other income, net, we recognized foreign currency transaction losses of $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of July 31, 2025, our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities were primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, and British Pound Sterling. A 10% increase or decrease in exchange rates as of such date would have had an impact of approximately $7.3 million on our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities balances.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Table of Contents

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of July 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended July 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the 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 the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. 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 policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the 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

The information required by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements,” Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies—Legal Matters” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, including patent, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, as well as governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. In addition, third parties from time to time may assert claims against us in the form of letters and other communications. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together, in our opinion, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves, our partners and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights, or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, such litigation could have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our subsequent SEC reports are not the only risks facing us. There are additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial that also may materially adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, or prospects.
