NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans, and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "contemplate," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "toward," "will," "would," or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. Readers are cautioned that these forward‑looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified and discussed in greater detail in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026 and below, under "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors."
The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. While we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q or to reflect new information, actual results, revised expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Unity Software Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, and entities consolidated under the voting interest model. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or other periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. For us, these estimates are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, the measurement of liabilities for uncertain tax positions and deferred tax assets and liabilities, the fair value of stock-based compensation, the fair value of redeemable noncontrolling interests, the fair value and useful lives of long-lived assets, and the fair value of equity investments where we use the measurement alternative. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to our financial position and results of operations.
We evaluate intangible assets and other long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. In March 2026, we announced we would sunset the ironSource Ads Network, one of our monetization networks, effective April 30, 2026, and engaged a financial advisor to assist with the planned divestiture of our Supersonic game publishing business. Due to this event, we have evaluated the long-lived assets associated with those businesses and determined that the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset group.
As a result, during the first quarter of 2026 we have recorded $279 million of impairment charges, including $227 million within cost of revenue, and $47 million within sales and marketing expense. These impairment charges reduced our Intangible assets, net by $271 million, including $225 million in "Developed technology" and $46 million in "Customer relationships". The fair values of these assets were determined using a combined discounted cashflow analysis and market approach.
Furthermore as a result of this evaluation, we have revised our estimates of the remaining useful lives for certain assets within the asset group, from two to three years, down to one to two years, effective April 1, 2026. These assets are primarily included in “Intangible assets, net” on our consolidated balance sheets, and are “developed technology” within intangible assets. The shortened useful lives are due to the shortened remaining time that Unity intends to operate these related businesses, as discussed in the above announcement. The effect of this change in estimate for the year ending December 31, 2026, is anticipated to be an increase in amortization expense and decrease in operating income of approximately $8 million.
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
As of March 31, 2026, no assets or liabilities associated with the above events meet the criteria for classification as held-for-sale, as the scope and structure of any proposed transactions remain under evaluation. Accordingly, all related assets and liabilities continue to be classified as held-and-used.
Employee Separation and Restructuring Costs
In connection with our ongoing restructuring efforts, we incurred incremental employee separation costs and other non-employee charges of approximately $7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily within research and development, and sales and marketing.
In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred incremental employee separation costs of approximately $14 million, primarily within sales and marketing and research and development. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 we incurred $6 million of other restructuring costs, primarily related to office closures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued a new Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2024-03") amending the existing disclosure requirement for expenses within Statement of Operations, primarily requiring more disaggregated disclosure for certain costs and expenses on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. We are currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on our expense disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued a new Accounting Standards Update ("ASU 2025-06") amending existing internal-use software guidance, changing the timing and thresholds for capitalizing these software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective, modified, or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating ASU 2025-06 to determine its impact on our financial statements.

Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable are recorded at the original invoiced amount, net of allowances for uncollectible amounts. We estimate losses on uncollectible amounts based on expected losses, including our historical experience of actual losses. The estimated losses on uncollectible amounts are recorded in general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for uncollectible amounts was $10.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively.
Sales Commissions
Sales commissions that have a benefit beyond one year are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line method over the expected period of benefit, which is generally three years. As of March 31, 2026, capitalized commissions, net of amortization, included in prepaid expenses and other and other assets were $4.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, capitalized commissions, net of amortization, included in prepaid expenses and other and other assets were $5.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded amortization costs of $1.6 million in sales and marketing expenses, as compared to $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. We did not incur any impairment losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Contract Balances and Remaining Performance Obligations
Contract assets (unbilled receivables), primarily included in accounts receivable, net, are recorded when revenue is earned in advance of customer billing schedules. Unbilled receivables totaled $15.3 million and $15.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The long term portion of those unbilled receivables was included in other long-term assets on our consolidated balance sheets, and was not material as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that was included in the deferred revenue balances at January 1, 2026 was $95 million.
Additionally, we have performance obligations associated with commitments in customer contracts to perform in the future that had not yet been recognized in our consolidated financial statements. For contracts with original terms that exceed one year, those commitments not yet recognized as of March 31, 2026, were $526 million and relate primarily to Create Solutions subscriptions, Enterprise Support, and Strategic Partnerships. These commitments generally extend over the next one to five years and we expect to recognize approximately $239 million or 45% of this revenue during the next 12 months.
3. Financial Instruments
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
•Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration.
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
•Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. These valuations require significant judgment.
The following table summarizes, by major security type, our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1) Due to the highly liquid nature of our investments, amortized cost approximates fair value.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
We hold equity investments in certain unconsolidated entities without a readily determinable fair value. These investments represent less than a 20% ownership interest in each of the entities, and we do not have significant influence over or control of the entities. We use the measurement alternative to account for adjustments to these investments for observable transactions for the same or similar investments of the same issuer in any given quarter. If we determine an impairment has occurred, the investment is written down to the estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, such equity investments totaled $20.0 million and $35.0 million, respectively. We recorded a $15.0 million impairment charge related to the wind down of a single investment, during the three months ended March 31, 2026. No other adjustments to the carrying value of these equity investments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025.
4. Investment in Unity China
The results of Unity China, of which third-party investors hold a 20.5% ownership interest, are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Under certain conditions we may be required to repurchase the third-party interest in Unity China. The redeemable noncontrolling interests in Unity China are recorded as temporary equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

6. Borrowings
Convertible Notes
In February 2025, we issued an aggregate of $690 million principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"). Proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Notes were $677 million, net of debt issuance costs and the cash was used to purchase capped call transactions, and repurchase convertible notes as discussed below. The debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
As of March 31, 2026, we had $2.2 billion of unsecured convertible notes outstanding including $690 million of the 2030 Notes, $1.0 billion issued in November 2022 (the "2027 Notes"), $558 million issued in November 2021 (the "2026 Notes", together with the 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes, the "Notes"), in “Current portion of convertible notes” and "Convertible notes" on our consolidated balance sheets. The table below summarizes the principal and unamortized debt issuance costs and other material features of the Notes (in thousands):

| Net carrying amount | | | | | | | | | $ | 2,236,370 | | | $ | 2,235,350 | |
1) We entered into capped call transactions in connection with the 2026 and 2030 Notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions relating to the Notes was initially $343.02 and $47.74, respectively, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. See below "--Capped Call Transactions."
Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The combined interest expense on the Notes related to regular interest and the amortization of debt issuance cost was $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, the estimated fair value of the 2030 Notes was approximately $692 million. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2027 Notes was approximately $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and the estimated fair value of the 2026 Notes was approximately $543 million and $540 million, respectively. The fair value of the 2027 Notes was based on a combination of a discounted cash flow and Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the 2030 Notes and 2026 Notes was based on quoted prices as of that date.
The 2027 Notes may be converted at the election of the holders thereof at any time prior to maturity. The 2026 Notes and 2030 Notes are convertible at the option of the respective holders thereof if a conversion condition applicable to such series of Notes is triggered. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, none of the conversion conditions of the 2026 Notes or the 2030 Notes were triggered, and neither the 2026 Notes nor the 2030 Notes were convertible as of March 31, 2026.
Any such conversion of the Notes described above, may be satisfied at our election with either cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. The conversion rates for the Notes are subject to customary adjustments for certain events as described in the relevant indenture governing the Notes.
The Notes are subject to additional terms. In connection with certain corporate events, as described in the indentures governing the Notes, we will increase the conversion rate for a holder of the applicable series of Notes who elects to convert those Notes in connection with the event. Additionally, upon the occurrence of certain corporate events and subject to certain exceptions, as described in the indenture governing the applicable series of Notes, holders of those Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of those Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to date. The 2026 Notes and 2030 Notes are also redeemable at our option if certain conditions are met, as described in the indentures governing the 2026 Notes and 2030 Notes respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, no holders of the Notes have exercised the conversion rights, and the if-converted value of the Notes did not exceed the principal amount.

Convertible Note Repurchase
During the first quarter of 2025, and the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased in privately negotiated transactions and extinguished a portion of the 2026 Notes, with a total principal balance of $688 million and $480 million, respectively. The aggregate repurchase price for these notes was $642 million and $415 million, respectively, resulting in pre-tax gains of $42.7 million and $61.4 million, respectively, net of the write-off of unamortized issuance costs. These gains were included in Interest income and other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Capped Call Transactions
We entered into capped call transactions, to reduce the potential dilutive effect of the 2026 Notes (the "2026 Capped Call Transactions"), and 2030 Notes (the "2030 Capped Call Transactions", together with the 2026 Capped Call Transactions, the "Capped Call Transactions"), in connection with their pricing. The 2026 Capped Call Transactions, and the 2030 Capped Call Transactions, had net costs of $48.1 million and $44.4 million, respectively, with call options totaling approximately $5.6 million and $19.1 million of our common stock, and with expiration dates ranging from September 18, 2026 to November 12, 2026, and January 15, 2030 to March 13, 2030, respectively. The strike price of the 2026 Capped Call Transactions, and the 2030 Capped Call Transactions are $308.72 and $36.15, respectively, and the cap prices are initially $343.02 and $47.74 per share, respectively, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. The Capped Call Transactions are freestanding, are considered separately exercisable from the 2026 Notes and 2030 Notes, and meet the conditions for equity classification.
7. Commitments and Contingencies

(1) Operating leases consist of obligations for real estate, including leases that are not yet commenced or reflected on our consolidated balance sheet with future minimum lease payments of $10.3 million. These leases will commence in 2026 with lease terms of approximately three to seven years.
(2) The substantial majority of our purchase commitments are related to agreements with our data center hosting providers.
(3) Convertible notes due 2026, 2027, and 2030. See Note 6, "Borrowings," above for further discussion.
We expect to meet our remaining commitments.
Legal Matters
In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal matters. We accrue a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Legal costs related to such potential losses are expensed as incurred. In addition, recoveries are shown as a reduction in legal costs in the period in which they are realized. With respect to our outstanding matters, based on current knowledge, we believe that the resolution of such matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business or our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, litigation is inherently uncertain, and the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these matters.

Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, investors, directors, officers, employees, and other parties with respect to certain matters. Indemnification may include losses from our breach of such agreements, services we provide, or third-party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnifications may survive termination of the underlying agreement, and the maximum potential amount of future indemnification payments may not be subject to a cap. As of March 31, 2026, there were no known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material indemnification liability to us, and we did not incur material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnifications.
Letters of Credit
We had $5.2 million and $8.5 million of secured letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These primarily relate to our office space leases and are fully collateralized by certificates of deposit which we record in restricted cash as "Other assets" and "Prepaid expenses and other" on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Restricted Stock Units
A summary of our restricted stock units ("RSU"), including price-vested units ("PVU"), and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSU"), activity is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Unvested RSUs |
| Number of Shares | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
| Unvested as of December 31, 2025 | 24,927,722 | | | $ | 25.18 | |
| Granted | 10,255,886 | | | $ | 19.23 | |
| Vested | (2,722,120) | | | $ | 25.94 | |
| Forfeited | (1,065,152) | | | $ | 24.26 | |
| Unvested as of March 31, 2026 | 31,396,336 | | | $ | 23.20 | |
Price-Vested Options and Price-Vested Units
The vesting for each of the PVOs and PVUs is subject to the fulfillment of both a service period that extends up to four years and the achievement of a stock price hurdle during the relevant performance period that extends up to six and seven years, respectively. The fair value of each PVO and PVU award is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses assumptions determined on the date of grant. No outstanding options or units, which had not already met their price hurdle in a prior period, attained their price hurdle in 2026.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
Starting in the first quarter of 2025, we have periodically issued PSUs to certain executives as part of their compensation. The vesting for each PSU is subject to the fulfillment of both a service period of three years, and the level of achievement of certain performance goals (revenue and EBITDA metrics), over three annual performance periods ("tranche"). These goals are set as a range of target outcomes, in the first quarter of each year, and can be attained at a rate between 0% and 200%, based on where in the range the final results fall. The fair value of each PSU is estimated separately for each tranche of the award, using the closing price of Unity's common stock on the grant date. The grant date is the later of the day the performance goals are set for that tranche, or the date the units were issued. The expense is the fair value of the award multiplied by the expected attainment of the related performance goals as of the balance sheet date, recognized ratably for each tranche over the period between the grant date, and the end of the service period. The expense is adjusted each period for any changes in the expected attainment of the performance goals.
Fair Value Assumptions
The calculated grant-date fair value of stock options, PVUs, and PVOs granted, were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for stock options, and a Monte Carlo stimulation for the PVUs and PVOs, with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| | | | | | 2025 | | | | | |
| Expected dividend yield | | | | | | — | | | | | |
| Risk-free interest rate | | | | | | 4.1% | | | | | |
| Expected volatility | | | | | | 69.5% | | | | | |
| Expected term (in years) | | | | | | 6.25 | | | | | |
| Fair value of underlying common stock | | | | | | $24.72 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The fair value of shares offered under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") was determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table summarizes the assumptions used and the resulting grant-date fair values of our ESPP:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three Months Ended March 31, | | | | |
| | | 2025 | | | | | | | | |
| Expected dividend yield | | | — | | | | | | | | |
| Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.3% | | | | | | | | |
| Expected volatility | | | 73.4% | | | | | | | | |
| Expected term (in years) | | | 0.50 | | | | | | | | |
| Grant-date fair value per share | | | $9.26 | | | | | | | | |
Additional information related to the ESPP is provided below (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2026 | | 2025 | | | | |
| Shares issued under the ESPP | 558,351 | | 693,873 | | | | |
| Weighted-average price per share issued | $15.49 | | $14.19 | | | | |
During 2025, we suspended the ESPP program, effective in the first quarter of 2026. As a result of the suspension, no new offering periods will commence after March 2, 2026.
9. Income Taxes
Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. In each quarter, we update the estimated annual effective tax rate and make a year-to-date adjustment to the provision. The estimated annual effective tax rate is subject to volatility due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, intercompany transactions, changes in how we do business, and tax law developments.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the need to record a valuation allowance on U.S. losses and to a lesser extent foreign losses taxed at different rates. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the need to record a valuation allowance on U.S. losses and foreign earnings taxed at different rates.
The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in future periods. We regularly assess the ability to realize our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In performing this assessment with respect to each jurisdiction, we review all available positive and negative evidence. Primarily due to our history of losses, we believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets of our U.S. federal, U.S. state, and certain foreign jurisdictions will not be realized and we have maintained a full valuation allowance against such deferred tax assets.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $183.6 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, of which $32.3 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2026 could increase or decrease significantly as the timing of the resolution, settlement, and closure of audits is highly uncertain. We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to our tax audits and that any settlement will not have a material impact on our financial condition and operating results at this time.

11. Segment Information
We have one reportable segment, software solutions. See "Revenue Recognition" in Note 1 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for detailed information regarding our products and services.
Our chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, who on a consolidated basis, assess the performance of, drives improvements in, and decides how to allocate resources in the reportable segment, based on multiple measures of performance including consolidated net income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted EPS. As such, consolidated net income, which is reported and reconciled with all significant segment expenses on our consolidated statement of operations, is the measure that is most consistent with GAAP, while adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted EPS are additional measures of our segment profitability.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. We do not have material intra-entity sales or transfers.

Overview
Unity offers a suite of tools to develop, deploy, and grow games and interactive experiences across all major platforms from mobile, PC, and console, to extended reality (XR).
Our platform consists of two complementary sets of solutions: Create Solutions and Grow Solutions.
Recent Developments in Our Business
In the first quarter of 2026, we announced we would sunset the ironSource Ads Network, one of our monetization networks, effective April 30, 2026, and engaged a financial advisor to assist with the planned divestiture of our Supersonic game publishing business. As a result, revenue from these businesses is now included in non-strategic revenue for all periods presented.
As a result of these decisions, we incurred impairments on related long-lived assets of $279 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, associated with these decisions. The impairment charges include $227 million within cost of revenue, and $47 million within sales and marketing expense.
For additional details, refer to the section titled "Risk Factors."

Revenue
Create Solutions
We generate Create Solutions revenue primarily through our suite of Create Solutions subscriptions inclusive of enterprise support, professional services, and consumption services. Our subscriptions provide customers access to technologies that allow them to edit, run, and iterate interactive, RT3D and
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
2D experiences that can be created once and deployed to a variety of platforms. Enhanced support services are provided to our enterprise customers and are generally sold separately from the Create Solutions subscriptions. Professional services are provided to our customers which are primarily platform integrations, but also include consulting, training, and custom application and workflow development. Consumption services consist of cloud and hosting services provided to our customers to simplify and enhance the way our users access and harness our solutions.
Grow Solutions
We generate Grow Solutions revenue primarily through our monetization solutions and game publishing services. Our monetization solutions allow publishers, original equipment manufacturers, and mobile carriers to sell available advertising inventory on their mobile applications or hardware devices to advertisers for in-application or on-device placements. Our revenue represents the amount we retain from the transaction we are facilitating through our auction and mediation platform. Our game publishing services provide game developers with the infrastructure and expertise to launch their mobile games and manage their growth; this is achieved through marketability testing tools, live games management tools and game design support, and optimizing the implementation of the customer's commercial model. Through these publishing services, we generate revenue from in-app advertising and related purchases in published games.
As a result of the sunsetting of the ironSource Ads Network (one of our monetization networks), and planned divestiture of our Supersonic game publishing services, we expect Grow Solutions revenue to consist primarily of our "Unity Ad Network" (our principal monetization network), by the end of 2026.
Our total revenue is summarized as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended | | |
| March 31, | | |
| 2026 | | 2025 | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Create Solutions | $ | 156,647 | | | $ | 150,378 | | | | | |
| Grow Solutions | 351,591 | | | 284,622 | | | | | |
| Total revenue | $ | 508,238 | | | $ | 435,000 | | | | | |
Total revenue increased in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to an increase in Grow Solutions revenue from growth in the Unity Ad Network, driven by “Unity Vector”, partially offset by decreases in the IronSource Ad Network.
The increase in total revenue was further driven by an increase in Create Solutions revenue, primarily due to increases in subscription revenue, partially offset by decreases in cloud and hosting services revenue, driven by our portfolio reset in 2025.
Included in revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are approximately $76 million and $115 million, respectively, of non-strategic revenue, primarily in Grow Solutions.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue consists primarily of the amortization and impairment of intangible assets, hosting expenses, personnel costs (including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation) for employees and subcontractors associated with our product support and professional services organizations, and direct costs associated with our advertising offerings.
Gross profit, or revenue less cost of revenue, has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including our product mix, the costs associated with third-party hosting services and the extent to which we expand and drive efficiencies in our hosting costs, professional services, and customer support organizations. We expect our gross profit to increase in absolute dollars in the long term, but to fluctuate from period to period as a percentage of revenue.
Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased, compared to the comparable prior year period, due to an impairment of long-lived intangible assets in the first quarter of
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
2026, associated with the sunsetting of the ironSource Ads Network, and planned divestiture of our Supersonic game publishing services.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. The most significant component of our operating expenses is personnel-related costs, including salaries and wages, sales commissions, bonuses, benefits, stock-based compensation, and payroll taxes.
During 2025 we had workforce reductions from our ongoing restructuring efforts. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred incremental employee separation costs related to these actions of approximately $14 million, primarily within research and development, and sales and marketing. In addition, we incurred approximately $6 million of non-employee charges associated with this restructuring in 2025.
In the first quarter of 2026, we announced we would sunset the ironSource Ads Network, effective April 30, 2026, and engaged a financial advisor to assist with the planned divestiture of our Supersonic game publishing business. Following these announcements, we incurred incremental impairment charges of $279 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, associated with these decisions. The impairment charges include $227 million within cost of revenue, and $47 million within sales and marketing expense. Furthermore, we incurred employee separation costs and other non-employee charges of approximately $7 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, from our ongoing restructuring efforts. These incremental charges are primary in research and development, and sales and marketing.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs for the design and development of our platform, amortization expenses related to intangible assets and hosting expenses. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the long term, as we invest in new solutions, expand features and functionality with existing solutions, support our artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning ("ML") initiatives, and enter new markets. We expect research and development expenses to fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period.
Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased, compared to the comparable prior year period, due to an increase in amortization costs from the change in useful lives of certain intangible assets in 2025.
Sales and Marketing
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of the amortization and impairment of intangible assets, personnel-related costs, and advertising and marketing programs, including user acquisition costs and digital account-based marketing, user events such as developer-centric conferences and our annual Unite user conferences. We expect that our sales and marketing expense will decrease as a result of the divestiture of the Supersonic business.
Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to an impairment of long-lived intangible assets in the first quarter of 2026, partially offset by a decrease in personnel costs.
General and Administrative
Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related costs for finance, legal, human resources, IT and administrative employees; allocated overhead, and professional fees for external legal, accounting, and other professional services.
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to decreases in personnel-related costs, driven by our reductions in headcount, and decreases in our allocated overhead.
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our convertible debt and amortization of debt issuance costs.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased, compared to the comparable prior year period, due to the amortization of new debt issuance costs, from the issuance of the 2030 Notes, partially offset by a reduction in the amortization of debt issuance costs, driven by the repurchase of a portion of the 2026 Notes.
Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest income and other income (expense), net, consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents, and impairments of equity investments. As we have expanded our global operations, our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies has increased, and we expect this to continue.
Interest income and other income (expense), net, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased, compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to gains on the repurchase of convertible debt of $42.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, and an impairment of an equity investment of $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2026.
Provision for (benefit from) Income taxes
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions where we conduct business. We have a valuation allowance against certain of our deferred tax assets, including net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and tax credits related primarily to research and development. Our overall effective income tax rate in future periods may be affected by the geographic mix of earnings in the countries in which we operate. Our future effective tax rate may also be affected by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, or changes in tax laws, regulations, or accounting principles in the jurisdictions in which we conduct business. See Note 9, "Income Taxes," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 changed, compared to the provision for income taxes in the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a larger current year tax benefit in foreign jurisdictions resulting from restructuring activities initiated in the first quarter of 2026.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe, when taken collectively, they may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance.
However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS
We define adjusted gross profit as GAAP gross profit excluding expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, and restructurings and reorganizations. We define adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit as a
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
percentage of revenue. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss excluding benefits or expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, restructurings and reorganizations, interest, income tax, and other non-operating activities, which primarily consist of foreign exchange rate gains or losses.
We define adjusted EPS as net income or loss excluding benefits or expenses associated with stock-based compensation, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, restructurings and reorganizations, and the income tax impact of the preceding adjustments (cumulatively "adjusted net income"), increased by the tax effected impacts from any relevant dilutive securities, divided by the diluted weighted-average outstanding shares. The effective tax rate used in calculating adjusted EPS is estimated for each period, based on the net income or loss adjusted for the items noted above, and may differ from the effective rate used in our financial statements. Shares of common stock that are excluded in our calculation of GAAP diluted net loss per share due to their antidilutive impact on such calculations, are included in the diluted weighted average outstanding shares used in our calculation of adjusted EPS, to the extent they have a dilutive impact on adjusted EPS given the adjusted net income in each period.
We use adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS, in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that adjusted gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS provide our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these metrics exclude expenses that we do not consider to be indicative of our overall operating performance.

Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash, or our need to access additional sources of cash, to fund operations and investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $2.1 billion, which were primarily held for working capital purposes. Our cash equivalents are invested primarily in time deposits and in government money market funds.
Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations consist of our convertible notes, obligations under operating leases for office space, and contractual obligations for hosting services to support our business operations. See Part I, Item I, Note 7 — "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional discussion of our principal contractual commitments.
In the first quarter of 2025 we issued $690 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes, the proceeds of which were used to fund repurchases of outstanding 2026 Notes. We previously issued $1.7 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes in November 2021, of which $688 million in aggregate principal amount was repurchased in first quarter 2025 for $642 million, and $480 million in aggregate principal amount was repurchased in March 2024 for $415 million. We also previously issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes. See Part I, Item I, Note 6, "Borrowings" for additional discussion of the Notes.
Since our inception, we have generated losses from our operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $4.5 billion as of March 31, 2026. We expect to continue to incur operating losses on a GAAP basis for the foreseeable future due to the investments we will continue to make in research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative. As a result, we may require additional capital to execute our strategic initiatives to grow our business.
We believe our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, including our current intent to settle the principal amount of the 2026 Notes with cash upon maturity in November 2026. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances, and potential future equity or debt transactions. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our growth rate; the timing and extent of spending to support our research and development efforts; capital expenditures to build out new facilities and purchase hardware and software; the expansion of sales and marketing activities; and our continued need to invest in our IT infrastructure to support our growth. In addition, we may enter into additional strategic partnerships as well as agreements to acquire or invest in complementary offerings, teams and technologies, including intellectual property rights, which could increase our cash requirements. As a result of these and other factors, we may choose or be required to seek additional equity or debt financing sooner than we currently anticipate. In addition, depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors, we may also from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt, including the Notes, through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. If additional
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all, including as a result of macroeconomic conditions such as high interest rates, volatility in the capital markets and liquidity concerns at, or failures of, banks and other financial institutions. If we are unable to raise additional capital when required, or if we cannot expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities because we lack sufficient capital, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

| Net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | 81,788 | | | $ | 23,753 | |
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in our net loss, adjusted for certain non-cash items, which include impairments, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and other, and to a lesser extent, an increase in operating assets and liabilities. Our cash flows can fluctuate from period to period due to revenue seasonality, timing of billings, collections, and publisher payments, and historical cash flows are not necessarily indicative of our results in any future period.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee equity plans.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our assessment of our exposures to market risk has not changed materially since the presentation set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our 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"), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management's evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to, and were effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Based on management's evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that there has not been any material change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not party to any material legal proceedings at this time. From time to time, we may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than the risk factors listed below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Purchasing or owning Unity common stock involves investment risks including, but not limited to, the risks described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Any one of those risks could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations or reputation, which could cause our stock price to decline. Additional risks, trends and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.
AI is becoming an increasingly important part of our strategy and product roadmap, and our failure to successfully develop, deploy, maintain, manage, or commercialize AI-enabled capabilities and products, our reliance on third-party AI models, and the costs associated with such efforts may adversely affect our business, financial results, or competitiveness.
AI is becoming an increasingly important part of our broader platform strategy and product roadmap, and our failure to successfully develop, deploy, maintain, manage, or commercialize AI-enabled products could impair our ability to execute that strategy and remain competitive.
While we have made, and expect to continue to make, investments to integrate AI into our platform and product offerings, our ability to remain competitive will require increasing levels of such investment over time. There can be no assurance that these investments will enhance our product offerings, improve our competitiveness, efficiency or profitability, or provide an adequate return, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of these investments in a timely or cost-effective manner, or at all, especially in light of the rapid development of AI technologies in general. In addition, our AI investments and related spending may adversely impact our cost of revenue, research and development expenses, and sales and marketing expenses, which may, in turn, negatively impact our gross margins and operating margins.
We generally rely on third-party models for our AI products and features, and our ability to continue to use such technologies at scale depends on access to a limited number of foundational model providers whose availability, pricing, and terms we cannot control. These providers may experience capacity constraints, prioritize other customers, impose usage restrictions, change their terms unfavorably, or terminate their relationship with us, any of which could delay, degrade, or limit the availability of our AI features or make our product offerings less appealing to customers. Our reliance on such models may limit our ability to differentiate our offerings or manage cost and performance characteristics. Customer expectations regarding the speed, availability, and quality of our AI features may also increase over time, requiring us to incur higher infrastructure and model costs (whether for Unity-developed or third party models) that we may be unable to recover through pricing. Any failure to maintain adequate access to third-party AI models on commercially reasonable terms, or to meet rising customer performance expectations with regards to our models and AI features generally, could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results.
We are increasingly building AI into our offerings, and issues arising from our development or use of AI, or the use of AI by our customers, personnel, vendors, and competitors may adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results.
We are increasingly building AI into our offerings, including Unity Vector, our new machine learning model, our new Unity AI product line, which includes AI Assistant and AI Generators, and Unity Sentis,

which allows creators to embed an AI model in the Unity Runtime for their game or application, enhancing gameplay and other functionality, and we are developing new, AI-native products. We continue to advance ML algorithms in our Grow Solutions, which are designed to enable us to provide customers with better performance.
AI Assistant and AI Generators leverage third-party models for AI-driven assistance during creation. With respect to third-party models, we do not control the data used to train such models or the specific outputs they generate; we act as a conduit for customer requests and return the responses from those third-party models. The datasets used to train third-party models may inadvertently include content that infringes intellectual property rights. Because we do not control the training data or model weights of third-party models, we may be subject to liability or reputational harm if customers use outputs generated through our offerings that are alleged to infringe third-party intellectual property rights. In addition, customer inputs transmitted to third-party models may include proprietary, personal, or confidential information, and our contractual protections with third-party model providers may not fully mitigate the risk of data exposure, secondary use, or retention of such data by those providers. Proprietary, sensitive, or confidential information of the Company or our customers could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed as a result of or in connection with the use of AI technologies by our personnel or vendors. Unity-developed models have been and will be trained exclusively on directly-licensed or open-licensed data; however, we rely on the accuracy and scope of those licenses as represented by the licensors, and if such representations are incorrect or incomplete, we could face claims that our training data included content used without proper authorization. The outputs of both Unity-developed and third-party models may also inadvertently replicate protected content, resulting in potential claims of infringement.
AI technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, and we face significant competition from other companies as well as an evolving regulatory landscape. AI technologies, including generative AI and interactive chatbots, are subject to existing laws of various states and countries, including those regarding privacy, data security, and consumer protection, and our product development efforts may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, ethical concerns, or other complications that could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. Global AI regulatory frameworks remain highly uncertain, rapidly changing, and inconsistent across jurisdictions, and frequently have extraterritorial reach, and, as a result may apply to our AI offerings regardless of where they are developed or deployed. For example, the EU AI Act sets out a risk-based framework, subjecting certain AI technologies to numerous compliance obligations, including transparency, conformity and risk assessment, monitoring and human oversight requirements, and noncompliance could lead to fines of up to 35 million Euros or 7% of our total worldwide annual turnover. Certain provisions of the EU AI Act could require us to alter or restrict our use of AI both in features or products available to our users and in our systems that interact with our users. In addition, certain U.S. states have proposed, enacted, or are considering laws governing the development and use of AI technologies, such as the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, California Bot Disclosure Law, the Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, and the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") regulations on automated decision-making technology.
Additionally, certain privacy and data security laws extend rights to consumers and regulate automated decision making in ways that may be incompatible with our use of AI/ML. These obligations may make it harder for us to conduct our business using AI/ML, lead to litigation or regulatory fines or penalties, require us to change our business practices, retrain our AI/ML, delete our models, or prevent or limit our use of AI/ML. For example, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") has required other companies to delete algorithms and models derived from or trained on allegedly unlawfully collected data, where it has alleged the company has violated privacy or consumer protection laws. As these requirements continue to emerge or change, we may be required to modify, restrict, or disable certain AI features; implement new technical, governance and other controls; or incur significant compliance and operational costs. Failure to anticipate or comply with evolving AI regulatory obligations could adversely affect our ability to develop and deliver AI-enabled offerings, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or negatively impact our business, reputation, or financial results.
Governments are increasingly scrutinizing generative AI technologies for potential intellectual property and content-related harms, and any regulatory enforcement or litigation in this area could
| | | | | | | | |
Table of Contents | | Unity Software Inc. |
adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results. In addition, AI and ML models may create flawed, incomplete, or inaccurate outputs, some of which may appear correct. This may result from inaccurate, incomplete or flawed inputs, including if a bad actor "poisons" the AI/ML with bad inputs or logic, or if the model’s underlying logic is flawed, resulting in outputs that may appear plausible but are inaccurate (a so-called "hallucination"). We may use AI/ML outputs to make certain decisions. Due to these potential inaccuracies or flaws, the model could lead us to make decisions that could bias certain individuals or classes of individuals and adversely impact their rights. Our AI-enabled technology could be used by an end user in a manner publicly perceived as controversial. The foregoing can cause us to face adverse consequences, including reputational harm, competitive harm, customer loss or legal liability.
The increasing use of AI and ML, including AI-driven automation tools or our own AI-based offerings, may enable customers to reduce their reliance on human developers, and therefore paid seat licenses, or otherwise circumvent usage- and seat-based licensing metrics by obfuscating the number of users accessing our products. Any such shift could materially reduce demand for our core subscription-based products and adversely affect our revenues and business model.
Advances in AI and 2D and 3D content generation technologies may enable our customers to use AI to automate or replicate aspects of content, content creation, simulation, or runtime functionality provided by our platform and solutions, and allow competitors to develop solutions that reduce the competitiveness of our platform and solutions. Even where such activities are unauthorized or prohibited, our ability to prevent, detect, or stop it may be limited. To the extent such advances reduce the need for our products, or otherwise disintermediate Unity from the content creation process, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Market acceptance of AI technologies is uncertain, and we may allocate resources toward technologies or products that do not align with customer needs, fail to achieve market acceptance, or are rapidly rendered obsolete by further advances in AI. Our announced or perceived AI roadmap and product strategy may create heightened expectations among customers, and if we fail to meet those expectations, our business, operating results, financial condition, and future prospects could be adversely affected. Our competitors may use AI technologies more efficiently than we do or make technology choices in integrating AI technology or developing AI-based products that prove superior to ours, reducing the competitiveness of our offerings. Decisions as to if and how to integrate or develop AI technologies are difficult, and we, or our customers, may choose, or be required, not to use certain high-performing or lower-cost AI models, including certain open-source models, due to security, compliance, export control, or reputational considerations, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage if our competitors adopt such models without comparable constraints and our business, operating results, and financial condition may be harmed as a result.
If we fail to successfully execute our plans to realign our business and to right-size our investments, our business will be harmed.
We have realigned our business to focus on the Unity Engine and related consumption services, and monetization solutions, and are continuing to exit other businesses and right-size our investments, including through workforce reductions. These actions may not be effective or sufficient to offset our expenses, and may themselves have adverse impacts, including loss of accumulated knowledge, limited technological support on legacy products, inefficiency, and other challenges to operating our business. If we fail to efficiently execute on these plans, or if the expected benefits are not achieved on the timeline or to the extent we expect, our business may be harmed and we may fail to achieve or maintain profitability.
We announced the sunset of the ironSource Ads Network, effective April 30, 2026, and engaged a financial advisor to assist with the planned divestiture of our Supersonic game publishing business. These actions may cause disruption and uncertainty for our employees, customers, publishers, advertisers, and strategic partners, and may result in employee attrition and difficulties in maintaining business relationships. Customers or partners may delay, reduce, or terminate their use of our offerings as a result.
The sunset of the ironSource Ads Network may result in higher-than-expected customer and revenue attrition, and we may face operational challenges in migrating or offboarding customers.

The planned divestiture of the Supersonic business is dependent on factors beyond our control, including market conditions and identifying a suitable buyer. If a transaction is not completed, is delayed, or occurs on unfavorable terms, we may continue to be exposed to the costs of that business and may need to consider other alternatives.
Any failure to successfully manage these changes could disrupt our operations, damage customer relationships, fail to deliver the anticipated financial benefits, lead to additional costs and materially harm our business and results of operations.
