10-Q
N-able, Inc. reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $133.7 million, up 13.1% from $118.2 million a year earlier, driven mainly by stronger demand for its cybersecurity platform. Subscription revenue made up 99.1% of total revenue.
Annual recurring revenue reached $548.0 million, up 11.2%, with customers generating over $50,000 of ARR rising to 2,710 and representing about 62% of total ARR. Operating income improved to $12.5 million from $1.8 million, though the company still recorded a small net loss of $0.6 million after higher income tax expense and foreign exchange losses.
N-able generated $17.5 million of operating cash flow and ended the quarter with $117.8 million in cash and cash equivalents against $399.0 million of term loan debt. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $36.7 million, a 27.5% margin, reflecting revenue growth and disciplined operating costs.

Insights
N-able delivered double-digit growth with improving profitability but remains modestly loss-making.
N-able grew Q1 2026 revenue 13.1% to $133.7M, with subscription revenue at 99.1% of total. Annual recurring revenue reached $548.0M, up 11.2%, and larger customers (ARR over $50,000) increased to 2,710 and 62% of ARR, showing mix-shift toward higher-value accounts.
Profitability improved: operating income rose to $12.5M from $1.8M, and adjusted EBITDA climbed to $36.7M (27.5% margin). However, after $7.6M of net interest expense and $4.8M of tax expense, the company posted a small net loss of $0.6M. Foreign currency movements also reduced comprehensive income.
Leverage remains a consideration, with $399.0M outstanding on the term loan at an effective rate above 6%, partly offset by $117.8M in cash and strong recurring cash generation. Future quarters will show how well N‑able balances growth investments, integration of the Adlumin acquisition, and interest and tax burdens on its path toward sustained net profitability.

6 terms
annual recurring revenue financial
"Total annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) as of March 31, 2026 was $548.0 million"
Annual recurring revenue is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn each year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It helps businesses understand how much steady income they can count on, much like a subscription service that charges customers every month or year. This figure is important because it shows the company's stability and growth potential.
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Our Adjusted EBITDA ... was $36.7 million and $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Credit Agreement financial
"entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A."
A credit agreement is a written loan contract between a borrower and a bank or other lender that lays out how much money can be borrowed, the interest rate, repayment schedule, fees, and the rules the borrower must follow. For investors, it matters because those terms affect a company’s cash costs, borrowing flexibility and risk of default — similar to how a mortgage’s rules determine a homeowner’s monthly budget and freedom to make changes.
contingent consideration financial
"the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration of up to $15.0 million"
Contingent consideration is an additional payment agreed when one company buys another that will be paid later only if specific future targets are met, such as revenue, profit, or regulatory milestones. It matters to investors because it shifts risk between buyer and seller and affects the acquiring company's future cash flow and reported value — like promising a bonus after results are proven.
first lien net leverage ratio financial
"subject to an increase to 2.75% if our first lien net leverage ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.00"
First lien net leverage ratio measures how much of a company’s top-priority secured debt remains after using available cash, compared with the company’s recurring cash earnings. Think of it like the size of a primary mortgage relative to your annual take-home pay after you count money in your savings account. Investors use it to judge credit risk and borrowing capacity: a higher ratio suggests greater default risk, tighter financing terms, or covenant pressure.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act financial
"the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”). Key income tax-related provisions of the OBBBA include"
A "one big beautiful bill act" is a single, large piece of legislation that bundles many policy changes and measures into one package instead of passing them separately. For investors, it matters because such omnibus bills can swiftly change tax rules, spending levels, industry regulations or subsidies all at once—like a single shopping cart that suddenly adds many items to a household budget—creating broad, rapid shifts in company costs, revenues and market expectations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Nature of Operations
Description of Business

Our AI-powered cybersecurity platform delivers business resilience to more than 500,000 organizations worldwide, leveraging advanced end-to-end capabilities, simplified workflows, market-leading integrations, and flexible deployment options to improve efficiency and drive critical security outcomes. Our partner-first approach pairs our technology with experts, training, and peer-led events that empower customers to be secure, resilient, and successful.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, referred to as our “2025 Annual Report.”
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include:
•the valuation of goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets;
•the valuation of contingent consideration;
•revenue recognition; and
•income taxes.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
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,” (“ASU No. 2025-05”) to introduce a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. The updated guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and early adoption is permitted. We adopted this standard as of January 1, 2026 and elected the practical expedient. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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,” which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. The updated guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” The updated guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we have money market fund financial assets of $68.8 million and $68.2 million, respectively, which are included in “cash and cash equivalents” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See “Fair

N-able, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Value Measurements” below and Note 6. Fair Value Measurements for further details regarding the fair value measurements of our money market fund financial assets.
Fair Value Measurements
We apply the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities, such as our money market fund financial assets and contingent consideration liabilities, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and non-financial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
The guidance establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible by us.
Level 2: Inputs that are observable in the marketplace other than those inputs classified as Level 1.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace and significant to the valuation.
The carrying amounts reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate fair value due to relatively short periods to maturity. See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements for a summary of our financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of our outstanding debt approximates its estimated fair value as the interest rate on the debt is adjusted for changes in market rates. See Note 8. Debt for further details regarding our debt.

Contract Assets
Capitalized Commissions
We recognize as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect to recover those costs, and amortize the asset in accordance with the pattern of transfer of goods and services to which the asset relates. ASC 606 defines the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as the costs that an entity incurs in its efforts to obtain a contract that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained.
We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. For long-term committed contracts, we expect that commission fees paid to sales representatives as a result of obtaining these contracts are recoverable and are therefore capitalized. Current capitalized commissions were $3.0 million and $2.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and are included in “prepaid and other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Non-current capitalized commissions were $2.2 million and $2.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and are included in “other non-current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years , and are included in “sales and marketing” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recognized amortization of capitalized commissions of $0.7 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

3. Acquisitions
Adlumin, Inc.
On November 20, 2024, we acquired Adlumin, Inc. (“Adlumin”) a Washington, D.C. based enterprise-grade security operations platform provider. The aggregate consideration payable at closing of the transaction included $98.7 million in cash and the issuance of up to 1,570,762 shares of our common stock. Additionally, the former Adlumin shareholders have the right to receive $120.0 million in cash in installments of $52.5 million and $67.5 million on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, and up to an aggregate of $30.0 million in potential cash earn-out payments payable in 2025 and 2026 based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years.
The following table summarizes the amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

| Total assets acquired, net | $ | ||||
The results of operations related to Adlumin since the acquisition date are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Of the $120.0 million of deferred consideration, $7.0 million and $7.8 million are contingent upon certain employees’ continued employment on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively. These amounts are accounted for as compensation expense for post-combination services. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid $6.2 million of such amounts in connection with the first anniversary of the closing date. Of the $120.0 million of deferred consideration, $45.5 million and $59.7 million are to be paid on the first and second anniversary dates of the closing, respectively, based upon the passage of time and were recorded at fair value as of the date of the transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid $45.5 million of such amounts in connection with the first anniversary of the closing date.
At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the deferred consideration was $96.3 million. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the deferred consideration, net of payments of $51.7 million, was $62.4 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $16.6 million. As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration of up to $15.0 million, net of payments of $5.4 million, was $10.3 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements, Note 7. Accrued Liabilities and Other and Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding the deferred and contingent consideration liabilities.
We recognize revenue on the acquired products in accordance with our revenue recognition policy as described in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
4. Goodwill

N-able, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The following table reflects the changes in goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2026:

| Acquisitions | |||||
| Foreign currency translation and other adjustments | ( | ||||
| Balance as of March 31, 2026 | $ | ||||
A significant portion of our assets consists of goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and was primarily derived from the take‑private transaction of SolarWinds in February 2016 and subsequent acquisitions. We test goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. An impairment is recognized when the carrying amount of our reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. No goodwill impairment has been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we experienced a significant decline in our stock price. A continued and sustained decline in our stock price, when considered in conjunction with other relevant qualitative factors, could indicate a reduction in fair value below the carrying value of our reporting unit and require an interim goodwill impairment analysis. Any resulting goodwill impairment charge could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. Throughout the remainder of fiscal 2026, the Company will monitor changes to its stock price, in addition to other qualitative factors, to determine if an interim impairment test is required.
5. Relationship with Parent and Related Entities
On August 6, 2020, SolarWinds Corporation (“SolarWinds” or “Parent”) announced that its board of directors had authorized management to explore a potential spin-off of its MSP business into our company, a newly created and separately traded public company, and separate into two distinct, publicly traded companies (the “Separation”). On July 19, 2021, SolarWinds completed the Separation through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the outstanding shares of our common stock it held to the stockholders of record of SolarWinds as of the close of business on July 12, 2021. As a result of the Distribution, we became an independent public company and our common stock is listed under the symbol “NABL” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Equity-Based Incentive Plans
Prior to the Separation and Distribution, certain of our employees participated in Parent’s equity-based incentive plans. Under the SolarWinds Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), our employees, consultants, directors, managers and advisors were awarded stock-based incentive awards in a number of forms, including non-qualified stock options. The ability to grant any future equity awards under the 2016 Plan terminated in October 2018. Under the SolarWinds Corporation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, our employees were eligible to be awarded stock-based incentive awards, including non-statutory stock options or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other cash-based or share-based awards. Awards granted to our employees under the Parent incentive plans generally vested over periods ranging from one to five years . We measure stock-based compensation for all stock-based incentive awards at fair value on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards.
In connection with the Separation and Distribution, all of the vested and outstanding and unvested SolarWinds equity awards held by our employees were converted to N-able awards (the “Conversion”). The modification of these equity awards resulted in incremental compensation expense to the extent the estimated fair value of the awards immediately following the modification exceeded the estimated fair value of the awards immediately prior to the modification. This expense is to be recognized upfront for all vested and outstanding awards and over the remaining vesting term for all unvested awards. We recognized no incremental expense in connection with the Conversion during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and less than $0.1 million of incremental expense during three months ended March 31, 2025. We include stock-based compensation expense in operating expense (general and administrative, sales and marketing and research and development) and cost of revenue on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the nature of the employee’s role in our operations.
Agreements with SolarWinds
In connection with the completion of the Separation and Distribution on July 19, 2021, we entered into several agreements with SolarWinds that, among other things, provide a framework for our relationship with SolarWinds after the Separation and Distribution. The following summarizes some of the most significant agreements and relationships with SolarWinds.

8. Debt
In connection with the Separation and Distribution, on July 19, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including N-able International Holdings I, LLC (as guarantor) and N-able International Holdings II, LLC (as borrower), entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto. N-able International Holdings I, LLC is a holding company with no other operations, cash flows, material assets or liabilities other than the equity interests in N-able International Holdings II, LLC. The Credit Agreement provides for $410.0 million of first lien secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”), consisting of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), and a $350.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). On July 19, 2021, prior to the completion of the Distribution, the Company distributed approximately $16.5 million, representing a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan, net of the repayment of related party debt due to SolarWinds Holdings, Inc., payment of intercompany trade payables, and fees and other transaction related costs, to SolarWinds. The Revolving Facility will primarily be available for general corporate purposes.
On June 26, 2023, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 1 amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, replace the LIBOR-based rate included in the Credit Agreement with a SOFR-based rate, as an interest rate benchmark. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the Credit Agreement described herein remain unchanged. The effective interest rate on our outstanding debt remained as a LIBOR-based rate until August 31, 2023, at which point it transitioned to a SOFR-based rate.
On November 26, 2025, the parties entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement. Amendment No. 2, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount under the Term Loan from $336.0 million to $400.0 million, (ii) extended the maturity of the Term Loan to November, 26, 2032, (iii) extended the maturity of the $60.0 million Revolving Facility to November 26, 2030 and (iv) reduced the interest rate applicable to all borrowings under the Credit Facilities.
As of the date of Amendment No. 2, existing unamortized discount and debt issuance costs were $4.1 million. Following a lender-by-lender extinguishment assessment, a portion of these costs was expensed, with the remaining balance deferred. The Company also incurred new discount and debt issuance costs in connection with the refinancing, portions of which were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the Credit Facilities.
The following table summarizes information relating to our outstanding debt as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Under the Credit Agreement, as amended, borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted SOFR rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0 %) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 2.50 %, subject to an increase to 2.75 % if our first lien net leverage ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.00. Borrowings denominated in Euros under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0 %) for a specified interest period plus the applicable margin described above. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted SOFR rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0 %) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 2.75 %, subject to a reduction to 2.50 % if our first lien net leverage ratio is equal to or lower than 1.65 to 1.00.
In addition to paying interest on loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375 % per annum in respect of unused commitments thereunder, subject to a reduction to 0.25 % per annum based on our first lien net leverage ratio.
The Term Loan requires quarterly repayments equal to 0.25 % of the original principal amount. The final maturity dates of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan are November 26, 2030 and November 26, 2032, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell or transfer assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; prepay certain junior indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and enter into negative pledge agreements. In addition, the Revolving Facility is subject to a financial covenant requiring compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 7.50 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, which will trigger when loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility exceed 40 % of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including, among others, failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants; cross events of default; certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; certain ERISA events; certain undischarged judgments; and change of control.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement.

The dilutive impact of employee equity awards was not applicable to the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share requires us to make certain assumptions related to the use of proceeds that would be received upon the assumed exercise of stock options, purchase of restricted stock or proceeds from the employee stock purchase plan.
Share Repurchase Program
On March 11, 2025, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice, and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific dollar amount or numbers of shares of Common Stock. Under the Repurchase Program, we repurchased 3,776,155 shares for $30.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. We repurchased no shares during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we are authorized to repurchase a remaining $45.0 million of our common stock under the Repurchase Program. See Part II - Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity and Use of Proceeds for additional information on the Repurchase Program.

10. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $4.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 114.7 % and (85.4 )%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in income taxes on income outside of the United States, partially offset by a decrease in the amount of unbenefited loss in the United States.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”). Key income tax-related provisions of the OBBBA include the repeal of mandatory capitalization of domestic research and development expenditures under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 174, extension of bonus depreciation, the restoration of an EBITDA-based interest limitation deduction, and revisions to international tax regimes. The overall financial statement impact of the OBBBA is not material.
Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released model rules for a global minimum tax known as Pillar Two. Under such rules, a minimum effective tax rate of 15% would apply to multinational companies with consolidated revenues above €750 million. Although we operate in one or more jurisdictions that have substantively enacted Pillar Two legislation, we have not exceeded the revenue threshold of €750 million, and as such, we do not expect to be subject to the Pillar Two rules in 2025.
We file U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2021 through 2025 tax years generally remain open and subject to examination by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. We are currently under examination by the IRS for the tax years 2013 through the period ending February 2016. A Form 870-AD was signed with the Internal Revenue Service on January 22, 2025 related to tax years 2013 through the period ending February 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we finalized a settlement agreement with the IRS for the tax years 2011 to 2012. We are currently under audit by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue for the 2015 through February 2016 tax years, and the Texas Comptroller for the 2015 through 2018 tax years. We are currently under audit by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) for the tax years 2021 and 2022.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we have been and may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in our ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of any pending claims (either individually or in the aggregate) is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, cash flows or financial position. However, the outcome of disputes is inherently uncertain. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters could materially affect our future results of operations or cash flows, or both, in a particular period.
Commitments as a Result of Acquisitions
See Note 3. Acquisitions, Note 6. Fair Value Measurements, and Note 7. Accrued Liabilities and Other for further details regarding our deferred and contingent consideration liabilities related to the November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin.
12. Operating Segments and Geographic Information
Operating Segments
Our chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. As our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer manages the business as a multi-product business that utilizes its model to deliver software products to customers regardless of their geography or IT environment. Operating results, including discrete financial information and profitability metrics, are reviewed at the consolidated entity level for purposes of making resource allocation decisions and for evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, we consider ourselves to be in a single operating and reportable segment structure.
21
N-able, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As we operate in a single operating and reportable segment structure, our CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income, as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, among other metrics. Segment asset information is not reported to the CODM. Our CODM uses consolidated net income to assess performance for the segment by reviewing actual performance against internal forecasts and historical performance. Since we operate as one 4.8 million and $4.2 million and amortization expense of $6.6 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively,
Geographic Information
We base revenue by geography on the shipping address of each customer. Other than the United States and the United Kingdom, no single country accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Our AI powered cybersecurity platform delivers business resilience to more than 500,000 organizations worldwide, leveraging advanced end-to-end capabilities, simplified workflows, market-leading integrations, and flexible deployment options to improve efficiency and drive critical security outcomes. Our partner-first approach pairs our technology with experts, training, and peer-led events that empower customers to be secure, resilient, and successful.
First Quarter Financial Highlights
Revenue
Our total revenue was $133.7 million and $118.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding revenue recognized from subscription and other services.
Annual Recurring Revenue
Total annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) as of March 31, 2026 was $548.0 million, compared to $492.7 million as of March 31, 2025, representing an increase of 11.2%. This increase was primarily due to steady demand for our solutions.
As of March 31, 2026, we had 2,710 customers with ARR over $50,000 on our platform, up from 2,398 as of March 31, 2025, representing an increase of 13.0%. Over the same period, customers with over $50,000 of ARR on our platform grew from approximately 58% of our total ARR as of March 31, 2025 to approximately 62% of our total ARR as of March 31, 2026.
We calculate ARR by annualizing the recurring revenue and related usage revenue inclusive of discounts, excluding the impacts of credits and reserves, recognized during the last day of the reporting period from both long-term and month-to-month subscriptions. We use ARR, and in particular ARR attributable to customers with over $50,000 of ARR, to enhance the understanding of our business performance and the growth of our relationships with our customers.
Profitability
Our operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $12.5 million, compared to operating income of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.6 million, compared to net loss of $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to an increase in revenue and a decrease in general and administrative expense, offset in part by increases in cost of revenue, other expense, net, research and development expense, sales and marketing expense, income tax expense, and amortization of developed technologies. Our Adjusted EBITDA, calculated as net loss of $0.6 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, excluding amortization of acquired intangibles and developed technology of $6.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively, depreciation expense of $4.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, income tax expense of $4.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, interest expense, net of $7.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively, unrealized foreign currency losses (gains) of $1.1 million and $(0.8) million, respectively, transaction related costs of $0.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes of $11.8 million and $12.7 million, respectively, and restructuring costs and other of $0.5 million and $(0.1) million, respectively, was $36.7 million and $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For a description and reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures discussed in this section, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
23
Cash Flow
We have built our business to generate strong cash flow over the long term. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cash flows from operations were $17.5 million and $19.7 million, respectively. Our cash flows from operations were reduced by cash payments for interest of $6.9 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and cash payments for income taxes of $5.6 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Our revenue consists of the following:
•Subscription Revenue. We primarily derive subscription revenue from the sale of subscriptions to the SaaS solutions that we host and manage on our platform. Our subscriptions provide access to the latest versions of our software platform, technical support and unspecified software upgrades and updates. Subscription revenue for our SaaS solutions is generally recognized ratably over the subscription term once the service is made available to the customer or when we have the right to invoice for services performed. In addition, our subscription revenue includes sales of our self-managed solutions, which are hosted and managed by our customers. Subscriptions of our self-managed solutions include term licenses, technical support and unspecified software upgrades. Revenue from the license performance obligation of our self-managed solutions is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the access to the licenses and revenue from the performance obligation related to the technical support and unspecified software upgrades of our subscription-based license arrangements is recognized ratably over the agreement period. We generally invoice subscription agreements monthly based on usage or in advance over the subscription period on either a monthly or annual basis.
•Other Revenue. Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from the sale of our maintenance services associated with the historical sales of perpetual licenses and revenue from professional services. Customers with maintenance agreements are entitled to receive technical support and unspecified upgrades or enhancements to new versions of their solutions on a when-and-if-available basis for the specified agreement period.
Cost of Revenue
•Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists of public cloud infrastructure and hosting fees, an allocation of overhead costs for our subscription revenue and maintenance services, royalty fees, and personnel costs for technical support and our security operations center. We allocate facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs based on headcount.
•Amortization of Acquired Technologies. We amortize to cost of revenue capitalized costs of technologies acquired in connection with the July 1, 2022 acquisition of Spinpanel B.V. (“Spinpanel”) and November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin, Inc. (“Adlumin”).
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses as well as amortization of acquired intangibles. Generally, personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and include salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes, as well as an allocation of our facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs. We had total employees of 1,863, 1,852, and 1,800 as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Our stock-based compensation expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year primarily due a decrease in the fair value of equity awards granted to employees as a result of a decline in our stock price during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We expect stock-based compensation expense to continue to decrease during the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2026.
•Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of related personnel costs, including our sales, marketing, partner success and product management teams, net of capitalized commissions related to long-term committed contracts, as well as an allocation of our facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs. Sales and marketing expenses also include the cost of digital marketing programs such as paid search, search engine optimization and management and website maintenance and design, marketing development funds, as well as the cost of events for existing and prospective customers. We expect to continue to grow our sales and marketing organization over time to drive new customer adds, retain and expand with existing customers, and pursue initiatives designed to help our customers succeed and grow.
•Research and Development. Research and development expenses primarily consist of related personnel costs, including our engineering, development operations, user experience and internal security operations teams, as well as an allocation of our
24
facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs. We expect to continue to grow our research and development organization over time and also to incur additional expenses associated with bringing new product offerings to market and our enhancements of security, monitoring and authentication of our solutions.
•General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs for executives, finance, legal, human resources, business applications and other administrative personnel, general restructuring charges and other transaction related costs, professional fees and other general corporate expenses, as well as an allocation of our facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs. We expect to continue to grow our general and administrative organization over time to support continued growth of our business.
•Amortization of Acquired Intangibles. We amortize to operating expenses capitalized costs of intangible assets primarily acquired in connection with the take private transaction of SolarWinds in early 2016 and subsequent business combinations, including the late July 1, 2022 acquisition of Spinpanel and the November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin. Amortization related to the take private transaction of SolarWinds concluded during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net primarily consists of interest expense related to the Credit Agreement and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated accounts, partially offset by gains resulting from changes in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated accounts and dividend income from our money market fund financial assets. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for additional information on how interest rates impact our financial results.
Foreign Currency
As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for additional information on how foreign currency impacts our financial results.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense consists of domestic and foreign corporate income taxes related to the sale of subscriptions. Our effective tax rate will be affected by many factors including changes in tax laws, regulations or rates, new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, valuation allowance, uncertain tax positions, stock-based compensation, permanent nondeductible book and tax differences, shifts in the allocation of income earned throughout the world and changes in overall levels of income before tax.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Revenue
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Amount | Percentage of Revenue | Amount | Percentage of Revenue | Change | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total subscription and other revenue | $ | 133,675 | 100.0 | % | $ | 118,197 | 100.0 | % | $ | 15,478 | |||||||||||||||||||
Total revenue increased $15.5 million, or 13.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. We base revenue by geography on the billing address of each customer. Based on customer location, revenue from the United States was approximately 48.5% and 51.2% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenue from the United Kingdom was approximately 10.4% and 10.0% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Other than the United States and the United Kingdom, no single country accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue during these periods.
Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue increased $15.6 million, or 13.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in subscription revenue was primarily driven by increased
25
traction across our cybersecurity platform. Subscription revenue as a percentage of our total revenue was 99.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 98.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Our annual dollar-based net revenue retention rate for our subscription products was approximately 106% and 101% for the trailing twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 106% dollar-based net revenue retention rate reflects the impact from our pricing and packaging changes. Our calculation includes any expansion revenue and is net of any contraction or cancellation, but excludes credits and revenue attributable to any customer who was not a customer with a paid subscription in the prior period. To calculate our annual dollar-based net revenue retention rate, we first identify the customers with active paid subscriptions in the last month of the prior-year period, or the base customers. We then divide the subscription revenue in the last month of the current-year period attributable to the base customers by the revenue attributable to those base customers in the last month of the prior-year period. Our dollar-based net revenue retention rate for a particular period is then obtained by averaging the rates from that particular period with the results from each of the prior eleven months.
Other Revenue. Other revenue decreased $0.1 million, or 9.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in maintenance revenue and professional services revenue. Other revenue as a percentage of our total revenue was 0.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 1.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $2.2 million, or 5.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to increases in personnel costs driven by headcount and salary increases of $1.2 million, advertising and other marketing spend of $1.1 million, and trade show and events spend of $0.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition-related costs of $1.0 million.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $2.3 million, or 9.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by increases in personnel costs driven by headcount and salary increases of $1.1 million, allocated facilities and IT costs of $0.6 million, and contract services costs of $0.5 million.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $3.7 million, or 15.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in acquisition-related
26
costs of $4.8 million and rent and allocated facilities and IT costs of $0.8 million, partially offset by increases in bad debt expense of $0.9 million and restructuring costs of $0.5 million.
Amortization of Acquired Intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles remains relatively unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, and relates to the November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin.

On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”). Key income tax-related provisions of the OBBBA include the repeal of mandatory capitalization of domestic research and development expenditures under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 174, extension of bonus depreciation, the restoration of an EBITDA-based interest limitation deduction, and revisions to international tax regimes. The overall financial statement impact of the OBBBA is not material. For additional discussion about our income taxes, see Note 10. Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance our understanding, and aid in the period-to-period comparison, of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information that is meaningful when assessing our operating performance because they exclude the impact of certain amounts that our management and Board of Directors do not consider part of core operating results when assessing our operational performance, allocating resources, preparing annual budgets and determining compensation. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may provide insight to investors into the motivation and decision-making of management in operating the business. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure included below.
While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, their most comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in their financing and accounting methods, the book value of their assets, their capital structures, the method by which their assets were acquired and the manner in which they define non-GAAP measures. Items such as the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, transaction related costs, spin-off costs related to the Separation and Distribution, as well as the related tax impacts of these items can have a material impact on our GAAP financial results.
Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin
We provide non-GAAP operating income and related non-GAAP operating margins excluding such items as stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles, transaction related costs, spin-off costs and restructuring costs and other. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating income divided by total revenue. Management believes these measures are useful for the following reasons:
•Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Employer-Paid Payroll Taxes. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes associated with our employees’ participation in N-able's stock-based incentive compensation plans. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. Employer-paid payroll taxes on stock-based compensation is dependent on our stock price and the timing of the taxable events related to the equity awards, over which our management has little control, and does not necessarily correlate to the core operation of our business. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes, management excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization’s business performance.
•Amortization of Acquired Technologies and Intangible Assets. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to purchased technologies and intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. We believe that eliminating this expense from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because the amortization of acquired technologies and intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions, which also vary in frequency from period to period. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses.
•Transaction Related Costs. We exclude certain expense items resulting from proposed and completed acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, costs related to integrating the acquired businesses, deferred compensation, severance and retention expense. We consider these adjustments, to some extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, such proposed and completed transactions result in operating expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude transaction related costs allows investors to better review and understand the historical and current results of our continuing operations and also facilitates comparisons to our historical results and results of peer companies with different transaction related activities, both with and without such adjustments.
•Spin-off Costs. We exclude certain expense items resulting from the spin-off into a newly created and separately traded public company. These costs include legal, accounting and advisory fees, system implementation costs and other incremental costs incurred by us related to the Separation and Distribution. The spin-off transaction results in operating expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude these costs facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
28
•Restructuring Costs and Other. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes restructuring costs such as severance, certain employee relocation costs and the estimated costs of exiting and terminating facility lease commitments, as they relate to our corporate restructuring and exit activities. These costs are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these costs for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We regularly monitor adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, as they are measures we use to assess our operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, excluding amortization of acquired intangibles and developed technology, depreciation expense, income tax expense, interest expense, net, unrealized foreign currency losses (gains), transaction related costs, spin-off costs, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes and restructuring and other costs. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and
•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including operating income and net loss and our other GAAP results. In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an implication that our future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the use of the term varies from others in our industry.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $117.8 million as of March 31, 2026. As our sales and operating cash flows are primarily generated in the United Kingdom and Canada, our international subsidiaries held approximately $105.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which 68.3%, 19.0%, 3.8% and 3.6% were held in United States Dollars, Euros, Canadian Dollars and British Pound Sterling, respectively. We intend either to invest our foreign earnings permanently into foreign operations or to remit these earnings to our United States entities in a tax-efficient manner. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 imposed a mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and eliminates United States federal income taxes on foreign subsidiary distributions. As a result, our earnings in foreign jurisdictions are generally available for distribution to the United States without significant U.S. tax consequences.
Our primary source of cash for funding operations and growth has been through cash provided by operating activities. Given the uncertainty of rapidly changing market and economic conditions, we continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact to our business and financial position. However, despite this uncertainty, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and our cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our commitments for capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.
In connection with the Separation and Distribution, on July 19, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for $410.0 million of first lien secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”), consisting of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), and a $350.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). On July 19, 2021, prior to the completion of the Distribution, the Company distributed approximately $16.5 million, representing the proceeds from the Term Loan, net of the repayment of related party debt due to SolarWinds Holdings, Inc., payment of intercompany trade payables, and fees and other transaction related costs, to SolarWinds. The Revolving Facility is primarily available for general corporate purposes. We had total borrowings of $393.1 million and $393.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, net of debt issuance costs of $(5.9) million and $6.1 million, respectively. See Note 8. Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the Credit Agreement.
On March 11, 2025, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice, and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific dollar amount or numbers of shares of Common Stock. Under the Repurchase Program, we repurchased 3,776,155 shares for $30.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, we are authorized to repurchase a remaining $45.0 million of our common stock under the Repurchase Program. See Part II - Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity and Use of Proceeds for additional information on the Repurchase Program.
Although we are not currently a party to any material definitive agreement regarding potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, applications or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements, which could reduce our cash and cash equivalents, require us to seek additional equity or debt financing or repatriate cash generated by our international operations. Additional funds from financing arrangements may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
30
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Operating Activities
Our primary source of cash from operating activities is cash collections from our customers. We expect cash inflows from operating activities to be affected by the timing of our sales and the consumption of our solutions by our customers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel-related expenditures, and other general operating expenses, as well as payments related to taxes, interest and facilities.
Cash provided by operating activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in net cash outflows resulting from changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $7.9 million and a decrease in non-cash items within net loss of $0.9 million, offset in part by a decrease in net loss of $6.5 million. The increase in net cash outflows resulting from changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $7.9 million was primarily due to a decrease in accrued liabilities and other, an increase in recoverable taxes, and decreases in deferred revenue and income taxes payable, offset in part by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, an increase in accounts payable, and decreases in accounts receivable, current contract assets, and other long-term assets.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows consist of cash used for capital expenditures and intangible assets and cash provided by the return of deposits in escrow. Our capital expenditures principally relate to purchases of servers for cloud infrastructure primarily to support our data protection solutions, as well as leasehold improvements, computers and equipment to support our domestic and international office locations. Purchases of intangible assets consist of capitalized research and development costs.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in capital expenditures to support our domestic and international office locations and capitalized research and development costs related to internal-use software.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows consist of repurchases of our common stock, payments of tax withholding obligations related to restricted stock, deferred acquisition payments, the exercise of stock options, proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and repayments of borrowings from the Credit Agreement.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in payments of tax withholding obligations related to restricted stock, offset in part by an increase in repayments of borrowing related to the Credit Agreement and a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of March 31, 2026, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2025, which were disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions or assumptions change. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected, perhaps materially.
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, management’s judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We believe that these accounting policies requiring significant management judgment and estimates are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas of our financial results. These critical accounting policies are:
•the valuation of goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets;
•the valuation of contingent consideration;
•revenue recognition; and
•income taxes.
A full description of our critical accounting policies that involve significant management judgment appears in our 2025 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report, except as described below.
Goodwill
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we experienced a significant decline in our stock price. A continued and sustained decline in our stock price, when considered in conjunction with other relevant qualitative factors, could indicate a reduction in fair value below the carrying value of our reporting unit and require an interim goodwill impairment analysis. Any resulting goodwill impairment charge could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. Throughout the remainder of fiscal 2026, the Company will monitor changes to its stock price, in addition to other qualitative factors, to determine if an interim impairment test is required.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash and cash equivalents of $117.8 million and $111.8 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand deposits and money market funds and do not have material exposure to market risk. We hold cash and cash equivalents for working capital purposes. Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes, and we do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
We had total borrowings under the Credit Agreement, net of debt issuance costs, of $393.1 million and $393.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted SOFR rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0%) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 2.50% subject to an increase to 2.75% if our first lien net leverage ratio exceeds 2.50 to 1.00. Borrowings denominated in Euros under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0%) for a specified interest period plus the applicable margins described above. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted SOFR rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0%) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 2.75%, subject to a reduction to 2.50% if our first lien net leverage ratio is equal to or lower than 1.65 to 1.00.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the annual weighted-average interest rate on borrowings was 6.42% and 6.59%, respectively. If there was a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates, the annual impact to interest expense would be approximately $4.0 million as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. This hypothetical change in interest expense has been calculated based on the variable rate borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and a
32
100 basis point per annum change in interest rate applied over a one-year period. Changes in interest rates have had and could continue to have an adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows since outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates.
We do not have material exposure to market risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents, as these consist primarily of highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
See Note 8. Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the Credit Agreement and Interest Expense, Net of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 for further details on the current and expected continued impact of increases in interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We primarily conduct business in the following locations: the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and Canada. This exposure is the result of selling in multiple currencies, growth in our international investments, additional headcount in foreign countries and operating in countries where the functional currency is the local currency. Specifically, our results of operations and cash flows are primarily subject to fluctuations in the following currencies: the Euro, British Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. dollar. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and economic conditions change, including as a result of the impact on the global economy of, or governmental actions taken in response to, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, escalating conflicts in the Middle East. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates have had and could continue to have an adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows.
Our Consolidated Statements of Operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. Our international revenue, operating expenses and significant balance sheet accounts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar primarily flow through our United Kingdom and European subsidiaries, which have historically had British Pound Sterling and Euro functional currencies, respectively, resulting in a two-step currency exchange process wherein the currencies other than the British Pound Sterling and Euro are first converted into those functional currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars for our Consolidated Financial Statements. In connection with the Separation and Distribution, our United Kingdom legal entity changed its functional currency from the British Pound Sterling to the U.S. dollar.
Our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets accounts are also impacted by the re-measurement of non-functional currency transactions such as cash accounts held by our overseas subsidiaries, accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies, deferred revenue and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies.
Foreign Currency Transaction Risk
Our foreign currency exposures typically arise from selling annual and multi-year subscriptions in multiple currencies, accounts receivable and other intercompany transactions.
Foreign Currency Translation Risk
Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows that we report in U.S. dollars for foreign subsidiaries that transact in international currencies may be higher or lower to what we would have reported if using a constant currency rate. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in reduced assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows for our international operations. Similarly, our assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows will increase for our international operations if the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies. The conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will also lead to remeasurement gains and losses recorded in income, or translation gains or losses that are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are 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 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 the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
34
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we have been and may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in our ordinary course of business. See Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity and Use of Proceeds
On March 11, 2025, our board of directors approved the Repurchase Program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of Common Stock. Pursuant to the authorization, we may repurchase shares of Common Stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice, and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific dollar amount or numbers of shares of Common Stock. We did not repurchase any shares under the Repurchase Program in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
