SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. All statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the heading “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 (“Annual Report”). These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to, statements about:
•our future financial performance, including our expectations regarding our revenue, annual recurring revenue, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses, ability to generate cash flow, revenue mix and ability to maintain future profitability;
•our expectations regarding the potential impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), pandemic on our business, operations, and the markets in which we and our partners and customers operate;
•anticipated trends and growth rates in our business and in the markets in which we operate;
•our ability to maintain and expand our customer base and our partner network;

•our ability to hire and retain necessary qualified employees to grow our business and expand our operations;
•the evolution of technology affecting our applications, platform and markets;
•our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property; and
•our ability to service our debt obligations.
We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report and as filed with the SEC and “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Fiscal year
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation
Unaudited interim consolidated financial information
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, and statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related disclosures, are unaudited. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and includes all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2021, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (“Annual Report”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and assumptions for continued reasonableness. In particular, the Company makes estimates with respect to the stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the uncollectible accounts receivable, the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, valuation of long-lived assets, the period of benefit for deferred commissions and material rights, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, and the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, among other things. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant accounting policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the new standard on a prospective basis as of April 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to early adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Total revenue | $ | $ | $ | $ |
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the United States was the only country that represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in any period, constituting $124.3 million and 52 % and $94.2 million and 51 % of total revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $343.9 million and 51 % and $263.3 million and 52 % of total revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Deferred revenue
Revenues recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, which was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each respective period, was $110.6 million and $87.1 million, respectively. Revenues recognized during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 which was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each respective period, was $447.2 million and $339.5 million, respectively.
Remaining performance obligations
As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $1,402.0 million, which consists of both billed consideration in the amount of $594.0 million and unbilled consideration in the amount of $808.0 million that the Company expects to recognize as subscription and service revenue. The Company expects to recognize 57 % of this amount as revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter.

5. Income Taxes
The Company computes its interim provision for income taxes by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income from operations and adjusts the provision for discrete tax items occurring in the period. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was 16 % compared to 21 % for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 was 5 % compared to 22 % for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in the effective tax rate for both the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is primarily due to additional share-based compensation tax windfall benefits and a $2.1 million one-time benefit related to anticipated tax refunds resulting from a favorable Polish research and development ruling received by the Company in August 2021.
Based on the Company’s review of both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021, a valuation allowance continues to be recorded against certain deferred tax assets based upon the conclusion that it was more likely than not that these assets would not be realized. The valuation allowance at December 31, 2021 relates primarily to accrued interest, capitalized development costs, and foreign tax credits. Given the Company’s current earnings and anticipated future earnings, it is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow the Company to conclude that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change based on the Company’s growth and profitability.

First lien credit facilities
The Company’s First Lien Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a term loan facility, or the First Lien Term Loan, in an aggregate principal amount of $950.0 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Facility, in an aggregate amount of $60.0 million. The Revolving Facility includes a $25.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The First Lien Term Loan and Revolving Facility mature on August 23, 2025 and August 23, 2023, respectively. There were $15.7 million and $15.6 million letters of credit issued as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The Company had $44.3 million and $44.4 million of availability under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.
Borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan and the Revolving Facility currently bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (i) the Alternative Base Rate, as defined per the credit agreement, plus 1.25 % per annum, or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.25 % per annum. The Company has satisfied all required principal payments under the First Lien Term Loan and the remainder is due at maturity. Interest payments are due quarterly, or more frequently, based on the terms of the credit agreement.
The Company incurs fees with respect to the Revolving Facility, including (i) a commitment fee of 0.25 % per annum of unused commitments under the Revolving Facility, (ii) facility fees equal to the applicable margin in effect for Eurodollar Rate Loans, as defined per the credit agreement, times the average daily stated amount of letters of credit, (iii) a fronting fee equal to either (a) 0.125 % per annum on the stated amount of each letter of credit or (b) such other rate per annum as agreed to by the parties subject to the letters of credit, and (iv) customary administrative fees.
All of the indebtedness under the First Lien Credit Agreement is and will be guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries and is and will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and such guarantors. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants. At December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants.
7. Leases
The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating leases which expire at various dates from fiscal 2022 to 2032. As of December 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term was 6.2 years and the weighted average discount rate was 5.7 %. The Company does not have any finance leases as of December 31, 2021.
The Company has a sublease of a former office which expires in fiscal 2025. Sublease income from operating leases, which is recorded as a reduction of rental expense, was $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Legal matters
From time to time, the Company may be a party to lawsuits and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

9. Share-based Compensation
Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan
In July 2019, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), upon the recommendation of the compensation committee of the board of directors, adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2019 Plan”) which was subsequently approved by the Company’s shareholders and was later amended and restated by the Board in January 2021.
The Company initially reserved 52,000,000 shares of common stock, or the Initial Limit, for the issuance of awards under the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically increase each April 1, beginning on April 1, 2020, by 4 % of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the immediately preceding March 31 or such lesser number determined by the compensation committee. This number is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in the Company’s capitalization. As of December 31, 2021, 37,834,512 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan.

RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2021 were comprised of 4.0 million RSUs with only service conditions and 1.0 million RSUs with both service and performance conditions (“PSUs”).
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company granted PSUs to certain key employees that generally vest in three equal installments, with one-third of the PSUs eligible to vest on each of the first 95 % of the applicable target for that year, and the overall number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the Incentive PSUs with respect to any year shall not exceed 150 % of the target award for such year. The Incentive PSUs are not carried forward from year to year; if the Incentive PSUs are not earned in any given year, they are terminated for that year.
anniversaries of the date of grant (the “Incentive PSUs”). The number of shares that may be earned pursuant to the Incentive PSUs is subject to the Company’s achievement of specific company metrics, and provided that the executive officer remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date. No Incentive PSUs will vest with respect to any year if the Company fails to achieve

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company granted PSUs to certain key employees that vest 25 % year after the grant date and the remaining 75 % vest ratably on a quarterly basis over the following years (the “Annual PSUs”). The number of shares that may be earned pursuant to the Annual PSUs is based on specific company metrics related to the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. No Annual PSUs will be earned with respect to any metric if the applicable “threshold” percentage of the specific metric is not achieved, and the overall number of shares that may be earned shall not exceed 150 % of the target award. Once the Annual PSUs are earned, they are then also subject to time-based vesting, with 25 % of the earned Annual PSUs vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date, and with the remaining 75 % vesting in twelve equal quarterly installments over the following three years , and provided that the executive officer remains employed by the Company through the applicable vesting date.
Compensation expense for the PSUs are measured using the fair value at the date of grant and recorded over their respective vesting periods under the graded-vesting attribution method and may be adjusted over the vesting period based on interim estimates of performance against the pre-set objectives.
As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock awards is $3.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years.

The Company recognized $20.3 million and $9.6 million of share-based compensation expense related to restricted shares and units for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $53.4 million and $28.3 million of share-based compensation expense related to restricted shares and units for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In July 2019, the board of directors adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The Company expects to offer, sell and issue shares of common stock under this ESPP from time to time based on various factors and conditions, although the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares under this ESPP. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods beginning May 15 and November 15 of each year, and each offering period will consist of -month purchase periods. On each purchase date, eligible employees will purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share equal to 85 % of the lesser of (1) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the offering date or (2) the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date. For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, 371,740 shares of common stock were purchased under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2021, 11,187,354 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under the ESPP.
As of December 31, 2021, there was approximately $2.3 million of unrecognized share-based compensation related to the ESPP that is expected to be recognized over the remaining term of the current offering period. The Company recognized $1.2 million and $1.5 million of share-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.6 million and $2.5 million of share-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
