ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report) (“MD&A”) summarizes (and is intended to help the reader understand) the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (our “Annual Report”) and our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. First Quarter 2026 Business Highlights ■ Total annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) increased 26% year-over-year to $435.2 million as of March 31, 2026; ■ Total revenue increased 26% year-over-year to $117.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, 20% on a constant currency basis; ■ SaaS revenue increased 35% year-over-year to $93.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, 29% on a constant currency basis; ■ Announced the general availability of the AgentPulse Command Center, which provides unified monitoring, governance, and cost control for AI agents across cloud environments, and helps organizations manage “shadow AI” and data exposure. Overview AvePoint is a global provider of modern data protection, enabling organizations to secure, govern, and operationalize data at scale across major cloud ecosystems. Customers rely on the AvePoint Confidence Platform to reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate digital transformation as they adopt cloud collaboration and artificial intelligence (“AI”)-driven advanced tools and workflows. As organizations embed AI into core business processes, data becomes both a strategic asset and a growing source of risk. AI can amplify the impact of poor data hygiene, including sensitive data exposure, compliance failures, and operational disruption. Enterprises increasingly require a modern data foundation where data is discoverable, classified, governed, protected, and recoverable by design. Our solutions are designed to address four pervasive and interconnected enterprise data challenges: ■ Legacy and fragmented data that limits visibility, governance, and AI readiness; ■ Overexposed data that increases security, privacy, and regulatory risk; ■ Digital sprawl that drives operational complexity and rising total cost of ownership; and ■ Data loss and interruption, which threaten business continuity and organizational resilience. By addressing these challenges through an integrated platform, we enable organizations to reduce risk, lower complexity, and accelerate time-to-value from their data. 29 Table of Contents Part I Item 2 Key Business Metric Our management reviews the following key business metric to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, make strategic decisions, and effectively allocate resources. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this metric to evaluate progress against our growth strategies and gain additional transparency into performance trends. March 31, 2026 2025 Total ARR ($ in mil) $ 435.2 $ 345.5 Annual Recurring Revenue We believe ARR further enables measurement of our business performance, is an important metric for financial forecasting, and better enables us to make strategic business decisions. We calculate ARR as the annualized sum of contractually obligated Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) from SaaS and term license and support sources from all active customers at the end of a reporting period. As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, total ARR was $435.2 million and $345.5 million, respectively, representing growth of 26% year over year, and 23% when adjusted for FX. Growth in ARR is driven by both new customer acquisitions and the expansion of existing customer relationships. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, and the active contracts used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers. 30 Table of Contents Part I Item 2 Components of Results of Operations Revenue We generate revenue from three primary sources: SaaS, term license and support, and services. We consider SaaS and term license and support revenues to be recurring. SaaS revenues are generated from our cloud-based solutions. Term license and support revenues are generated from the sales of on-premise or hybrid licenses, which include a distinct support component. Both SaaS and term license and support revenues are primarily billed annually. SaaS and term license and support are generally sold per user license or based upon the amount of data protected. SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For term license and support revenue, the license component is generally recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer to download and use, and the support component is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Included in term license and support revenues are maintenance revenues tied to previously sold legacy perpetual licenses. Services revenue includes revenue generated from implementation, training, consulting, license customization and managed services. These revenues are recognized by applying a measure of progress, such as labor hours, to determine the percentage of completion of each contract. These offerings are not inherently recurring in nature and as such are subject to more period-to-period volatility than other elements of our business. Services revenue from managed services are recognized ratably or on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Cost of Revenue Cost of SaaS and cost of term license and support consists of all direct costs to deliver and support our SaaS and term license and support products, including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and related expenses, overhead, third-party hosting fees related to our cloud services, and depreciation and amortization. We recognize these expenses as they are incurred. We expect that these costs will increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of SaaS and term license and support revenue from period to period. Cost of services consists of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and related expenses for our services organization, overhead, technology necessary to service our customers, and depreciation and amortization. We recognize these expenses as they are incurred. Gross Profit and Gross Margin Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including the mix of our revenue, the costs associated with third-party cloud-based hosting services for our cloud-based subscriptions, and the extent to which we expand our customer support and services organizations. We expect that our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these various factors but should increase in the long term as SaaS revenue continues to increase as a percentage of total revenue. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for sales, marketing and customer success personnel, stock-based compensation expense, sales commissions, marketing programs, travel-related expenses, overhead costs, depreciation and amortization. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating sales leads and establishing and promoting our brand. Incremental sales commissions for new customer contracts are deferred and amortized ratably over the estimated period of our relationship with such customers. We plan to continue our investment in sales and marketing by hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, executing our go-to-market strategy globally, and building our brand awareness. 31 Table of Contents Part I Item 2 General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for finance, legal and compliance, human resources, and IT personnel, as well as stock-based compensation expense, external professional services, overhead costs, other administrative functions, depreciation and amortization. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses incurred for our engineering and product and design teams, as well as stock-based compensation expense, overhead costs, depreciation and amortization. We have a geographically dispersed research and development presence in the United States, China, Singapore and Vietnam. We believe this provides a strategic advantage, allowing us to invest efficiently in both new product development and increasing our existing product capabilities. We believe delivering expanding product functionality is critical to enhancing the success of existing customers while new product development further reinforces our breadth of software solutions. Other Income, net Other Income, net, consists primarily of realized gains/losses for securities, foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses, and fair value adjustments on earn-out and warrant liabilities. Income Taxes We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Tax laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without notice, due to economic, political, and other conditions. The foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have different statutory tax rates than those of the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rate could be affected by the relative proportion of foreign to domestic income, use of foreign tax credits, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, applicability of any valuation allowances, and changes in tax laws in jurisdictions in which we operate. On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law. The OBBBA includes various provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company evaluated the impact of the OBBBA in the current quarter and recorded the related income tax effects in the condensed consolidated financial statements. 32 Table of Contents Part I Item 2 Results of Operations The below period-to-period comparisons of operating results are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods. Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 Revenue The components of AvePoint’s revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, Change 2026 2025 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Revenue: SaaS $ 93,382 $ 68,942 $ 24,440 35.5 % Term license and support 9,319 13,185 (3,866 ) (29.3 )% Services 14,541 10,937 3,604 33.0 % Total revenue $ 117,242 $ 93,064 $ 24,178 26.0 % Total revenue increased 26.0% to $117.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to an increase in SaaS revenue, which increased 35.5% to $93.4 million, and represented 80% of total revenue, up from 74% of total revenue in the prior year.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our audited, consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, and the discussion of risk factors that may affect future results in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors. This section generally discusses the results of our operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. For a discussion of the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, please refer to 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, 2024, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference. 2025 Business Highlights ■ As of December 31, 2025, total annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) was $416.8 million, representing 27% year-over-year growth. On a foreign exchange (“FX”) adjusted basis, total ARR increased 26% year-over-year; ■ Total revenue increased 27% year-over-year to $419.5 million. On a constant currency basis, total revenue increased 25% year-over-year; ■ SaaS revenue increased 38% year-over-year to $319.2 million and represented 76% of total revenue, compared to 70% of revenue in 2024. On a constant currency basis, SaaS revenue increased 36% year-over-year; ■ GAAP operating income was $33.0 million, compared to GAAP operating income of $7.2 million in 2024. Non-GAAP operating income was $79.2 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $47.6 million in 2024; and ■ Net cash provided by operating activities was $85.3 million, representing 20% of revenue, compared to $88.9 million, representing 27% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Overview AvePoint is the global leader in modern data protection, delivering a unified platform that enables organizations to secure, govern, and operationalize data at scale. Serving customers of all sizes across every major industry and geography, AvePoint addresses one of the most critical challenges facing enterprises today: how to safely unlock the value of data in a world increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (“AI”). As organizations rapidly embed AI into their core business processes, data has become both their most valuable asset and their greatest source of risk. AI systems amplify the consequences of poor data hygiene: overexposed sensitive information, accelerating compliance failures, and an increased blast radius from breaches and operational disruptions. As a result, enterprises require a modern data foundation that ensures data is discoverable, classified, governed, protected, and recoverable by design. The AvePoint Confidence Platform delivers this foundation. Purpose-built for today’s cloud-first environments, the platform addresses four pervasive and interconnected data challenges that directly impact enterprise risk, cost, and growth: 1. Legacy and fragmented data, which undermines visibility, governance, and AI readiness; 2. Overexposed data, which increases security, privacy, and regulatory risk; 3. Digital sprawl, which drives operational complexity and rising total cost of ownership; and 4. Data loss and interruption, which threaten business continuity and organizational resilience. By solving these challenges through a single, integrated platform, AvePoint enables organizations to reduce risk, lower complexity, and accelerate time to value from their data. In an era where trusted data is a prerequisite for AI adoption, data protection is no longer a back-office IT function, it is a strategic business imperative. 39 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Key Business Metric Our management reviews the following key business metric to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, make strategic decisions, and effectively allocate resources. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this metric to evaluate progress against our growth strategies and gain additional transparency into performance trends. Annual Recurring Revenue December 31, 2025 2024 Total ARR ($ in mil) $ 416.8 $ 327.0 We believe ARR enables measurement of our business performance, is an important metric for financial forecasting, and better enables us to make strategic business decisions.

Cost of maintenance consists of all direct costs to support our legacy perpetual license products, including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and related expenses, overhead, and depreciation and amortization. We recognize these expenses as they are incurred. We expect that cost of maintenance revenue will decrease in absolute dollars as maintenance revenue declines but may fluctuate as a percentage of maintenance revenue. Cost of services consists of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and related expenses for our services organization, overhead, technology necessary to service our customers, and depreciation and amortization. We recognize these expenses as they are incurred. 41 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Gross Profit and Gross Margin Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including the mix of our revenue, the costs associated with third-party cloud-based hosting services for our cloud-based subscriptions, and the extent to which we expand our customer support and services organizations. We expect that our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these various factors; however, we anticipate that it will increase over the long term as we expect SaaS revenue will continue to increase as a percentage of total revenue. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for sales, marketing and customer success personnel, stock-based compensation expense, sales commissions, marketing programs, travel-related expenses, overhead costs, depreciation and amortization. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating sales leads and establishing and promoting our brand. Incremental sales commissions for new customer contracts are deferred and amortized ratably over the estimated period of our relationship with such customers. We plan to continue our investment in sales and marketing by hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, executing our go-to-market strategy globally, and building our brand awareness. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for finance, legal and compliance, human resources, and IT personnel, as well as stock-based compensation expense, external professional services, overhead costs, other administrative functions, depreciation and amortization. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses incurred for our engineering and product and design teams, as well as stock-based compensation expense, overhead costs, depreciation and amortization. We have a geographically dispersed research and development presence in the United States, China, Singapore and Vietnam. We believe this provides a strategic advantage, allowing us to invest efficiently in both new product development and increasing our existing product capabilities. We believe delivering expanding product functionality is critical to enhancing the success of existing customers while new product development further reinforces our breadth of software solutions. Other Income (Expense), net Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest income and realized gains and losses for securities, foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses, and fair value adjustments on earn-out and warrant liabilities. Income Taxes We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Tax laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without notice, due to economic, political, and other conditions. The foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have different statutory tax rates than those of the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rate could be affected by the relative proportion of foreign to domestic income, use of foreign tax credits, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, applicability of any valuation allowances, and changes in tax laws in jurisdictions in which we operate. On July 4, 2025, the legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA"), was signed into law. The OBBBA includes various provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company has evaluated the provisions of the OBBBA and reflected the impact that is currently determinable in the consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to assess the full implications of the legislation. Any additional income tax effects will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the OBBBA is enacted into law or when additional authoritative guidance becomes available. 42 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Results of Operations The below period-to-period comparison of operating results are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods. Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 Revenue The components of AvePoint’s revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, Change 2025 2024 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Revenue: SaaS $ 319,167 $ 230,667 $ 88,500 38.4 % Term license and support 41,386 44,560 (3,174 ) (7.1 )% Services 53,839 44,036 9,803 22.3 % Maintenance 5,105 11,219 (6,114 ) (54.5 )% Total revenue $ 419,497 $ 330,482 $ 89,015 26.9 % Total revenue increased 26.9% to $419.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 , primarily due to an increase in SaaS revenue, which increased 38.4% to $319.2 million, and represented 76% of total revenue, up from 70% of total revenue in the prior year. Total revenue growth was also due to an increase in Services revenue, which grew 22.3% to $53.8 million. The increases in SaaS and Services revenue were, partially offset by an expected decrease in both term license and support and maintenance revenue. While SaaS revenue growth was again driven by consistently strong customer demand for our SaaS solutions, Services revenue is expected to fluctuate as the services generally are not recurring in nature. Additionally, maintenance revenue, which is tied to the sale of perpetual licenses, is expected to continue declining, as we no longer offer these products to new customers. Additionally, existing maintenance customers have and will continue to transition to SaaS and term licenses, which will further support the continued decline in maintenance revenue. Revenue by geographic area during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows: Year Ended December 31, Change 2025 2024 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) North America $ 164,808 $ 135,870 $ 28,938 21.3 % EMEA 134,312 99,256 35,056 35.3 % APAC 120,377 95,356 25,021 26.2 % Total $ 419,497 $ 330,482 $ 89,015 26.9 % For the year ended December 31, 2025, North America revenues increased 21.3% to $164.8 million, driven by a 34.7%, or $35.1 million, increase in SaaS revenue, partially offset by a $6.2 million combined net decrease in term license and support, services and maintenance revenue. EMEA revenues increased by 35.3% to $134.3 million, driven by a 43.1%, or $36.0 million, increase in SaaS revenue, partially offset by a $0.9 million combined net decrease in term license and support, services and maintenance revenue. APAC revenues increased 26.2% to $120.4 million, primarily driven by a 37.7%, or $17.4 million, increase in SaaS revenue, a 26.3%, or $9.3 million, increase in services revenue, and a $2.5 million increase in term license and support revenue, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in maintenance revenue. On a constant currency basis, EMEA revenues increased 29.7%, while EMEA SaaS revenues increased 37.0%. On a constant currency basis, APAC revenues increased 25.1%, while APAC SaaS revenues increased 37.5%. 43 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we disclose non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into our operational performance and into trends affecting our business. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, operating margin or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, and Gross Margin Cost of revenue, gross profit, and gross margin during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, Change 2025 2024 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Cost of revenue: SaaS $ 57,302 $ 41,544 $ 15,758 37.9 % Term license and support 1,360 1,584 (224 ) (14.1 )% Services 49,764 38,757 11,007 28.4 % Maintenance 375 641 (266 ) (41.5 )% Total cost of revenue $ 108,801 $ 82,526 $ 26,275 31.8 % Gross profit 310,696 247,956 62,740 25.3 % Gross margin 74.1 % 75.0 % — — GAAP cost of revenue $ 108,801 $ 82,526 $ 26,275 31.8 % Stock-based compensation expense (1,512 ) (1,315 ) (197 ) 15.0 % Amortization of acquired intangible assets (1,433 ) (961 ) (472 ) 49.1 % Non-GAAP cost of revenue $ 105,856 $ 80,250 $ 25,606 31.9 % Non-GAAP gross profit 313,641 250,232 63,409 25.3 % Non-GAAP gross margin 74.8 % 75.7 % — — Cost of revenue increased 31.8% to $108.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, driven primarily by a $12.2 million increase in aggregated hosting costs resulting from increased SaaS revenue and a $11.0 million increase in personnel costs. 44 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Operating Expenses Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, Change 2025 2024 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Sales and marketing $ 144,026 $ 122,869 $ 21,157 17.2 % Percentage of revenue 34.3 % 37.2 % — — GAAP sales and marketing $ 144,026 $ 122,869 $ 21,157 17.2 % Stock-based compensation expense (10,098 ) (8,965 ) (1,133 ) 12.6 % Amortization of acquired intangible assets (532 ) (459 ) (73 ) 15.9 % Non-GAAP sales and marketing $ 133,396 $ 113,445 $ 19,951 17.6 % Non-GAAP percentage of revenue 31.8 % 34.3 % — — Sales and marketing expenses increased 17.2% to $144.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by a $17.5 million increase in personnel costs, which included additional headcount and other investments in the business to respond to strong customer demand for our solutions and provide support for future growth. The continued decline in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects the ongoing scaling of the Company’s channel strategy as well as consistent improvements in overall sales efficiency. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, Change 2025 2024 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) General and administrative $ 81,050 $ 69,222 $ 11,828 17.1 % Percentage of revenue 19.3 % 20.9 % — — GAAP general and administrative $ 81,050 $ 69,222 $ 11,828 17.1 % Stock-based compensation expense (19,556 ) (20,483 ) 927 (4.5 )% Secondary listing costs (2,941 ) — (2,941 ) (100.0 )% Discontinuation of growth equity fund (1,917 ) — (1,917 ) (100.0 )% Non-GAAP general and administrative $ 56,636 $ 48,739 $ 7,897 16.2 % Non-GAAP percentage of revenue 13.5 % 14.7 % — — General and administrative expenses increased 17.1% to $81.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $7.2 million increase in personnel costs, a $2.9 million of costs related to the Company’s secondary listing on the SGX-ST, and $1.9 million of net costs related to the discontinuation of the Company’s participation in A3 Ventures Fund 1, L.P. (the "Fund"). 45 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Research and Development Research and development expenses during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, Change 2025 2024 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Research and development $ 52,585 $ 48,699 $ 3,886 8.0 % Percentage of revenue 12.5 % 14.7 % — — GAAP research and development $ 52,585 $ 48,699 $ 3,886 8.0 % Stock-based compensation expense (8,149 ) (8,296 ) 147 (1.8 )% Non-GAAP research and development $ 44,436 $ 40,403 $ 4,033 10.0 % Non-GAAP percentage of revenue 10.6 % 12.2 % — — Research and development expenses increased 8.0% to $52.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by a $2.2 million increase in personnel costs, which included additional headcount and ongoing investment in the development of new offerings and enhancements to existing offerings, and a $0.7 million increase in training and development costs. Income Tax Provision Income tax provision during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows: Year Ended December 31, Change 2025 2024 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Income tax expense $ 5,381 $ 4,743 $ 638 13.5 % Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $5.4 million as compared to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate, which equals the income tax provision divided by pretax income (loss) from continuing operations, was 13.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to (19.4)% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The change in effective tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to the mix of pre-tax income (loss) results by jurisdictions taxed at different rates than 21%, a permanent item recorded for stock-based compensation, GILTI and changes in the valuation allowance in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. The amount of the valuation allowance, however, could be reduced in the near term. The exact timing will be based on the level of profitability that we are able to achieve and our visibility into future results. Such a release would increase our effective tax rate in subsequent periods but would not affect cash paid for income taxes. 46 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin The following table presents a reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income from the most comparable GAAP measure, operating income, for the periods presented: Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 (in thousands, except percentages) GAAP operating income $ 33,035 $ 7,166 GAAP operating margin 7.9 % 2.2 % Add: Stock-based compensation 39,315 39,059 Amortization of acquired intangible assets 1,965 1,420 Secondary listing costs 2,941 — Discontinuation of growth equity fund 1,917 — Non-GAAP operating income $ 79,173 $ 47,645 Non-GAAP operating margin 18.9 % 14.4 % Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin are non-GAAP financial measures that our management uses to assess our overall performance. We define non-GAAP operating income as GAAP operating income plus the following items: stock-based compensation, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, the costs associated with our secondary listing on the SGX-ST, and the costs associated with the discontinuation of our participation in the Fund. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating income divided by revenue. We believe non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin provide our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these metrics eliminate the effects of stock-based compensation, which has had historical volatility from period to period due to mark-to-market securities, and of acquired intangible assets, which are unrelated to current operations and are neither comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results. While the amortization expense of acquired intangible assets is excluded from certain non-GAAP measures, the revenue related to acquired intangible assets is reflected in such measures as those assets contribute to revenue generation. The elimination of the effect of variability caused by stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangible assets, both of which are non-cash expenses, and the one-time nature of the costs associated with our secondary listing on the SGX-ST and the net costs associated with the discontinuation of our participation in the Fund, provides a better representation as to the overall operating performance of the Company. We use non-GAAP financial measures (a) to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and trends as well as our performance relative to our peers, (b) to set and approve spending budgets, (c) to allocate resources, (d) to measure operational profitability and the accuracy of forecasting, and (e) to assess financial discipline over operational expenditures. GAAP operating margin for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 7.9% and 2.2%, respectively. Non-GAAP operating margin for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 18.9% and 14.4%, respectively. The increase in both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins was attributable to the Company’s revenue growth (in part benefitting from the continued scaling of the Company’s channel partner strategy) as well as to the Company’s continued focus on expense management, while GAAP operating margins also improved due to the Company’s ongoing management of stock-based compensation expense, which represented less than 10% of total revenue in the year ended December 31, 2025. 47 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2025, we had $481.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt. Our short-term liquidity needs primarily include working capital for sales and marketing, research and development, and continued innovation. We also have letters of credit issued in the amount of $1.0 million as security for operating leases, and $5.4 million as security for customer contingency agreements. In addition, we extended a credit facility with a remaining commitment of $1.5 million, and a committed $50.0 million to the Fund. Our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, levels of revenue, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, market acceptance of our platform, the results of business initiatives, and the timing of new product introductions. Refer to “Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies” for more information regarding the purchase commitments. We also maintain a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), dated November 3, 2023, with HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”), as lender, for a revolving line of credit of up to $30.0 million with an accordion feature that provides up to $20.0 million of additional borrowing capacity we may draw upon at our request. The line bears interest at a rate equal to term SOFR plus 3.0% to 3.3% depending on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The line carries an unused fee equal to 0.5%. The line will mature on November 3, 2026. We are required to maintain a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) as well as a maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, tested by HSBC each quarter. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we pledged, assigned and granted HSBC a security interest in all shares of our subsidiaries, future proceeds, and assets as security for our obligations under the Loan Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, we are compliant with all covenants and had no borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our cash flows from operating activities, and our borrowing capacity under our Loan Agreement will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs and debt service obligations for at least the next twelve months. In the future, we may attempt to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity would be dilutive to our stockholders. Additional debt financing could result in increased debt service obligations and more restrictive financial and operational covenants. Cash Flows The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated. Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 (in thousands) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 85,257 $ 88,894 Net cash used in investing activities (20,200 ) (2,601 ) Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 123,991 (15,537 ) 48 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $85.3 million, reflecting our net income of $35.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $60.5 million and net cash outflows of $10.4 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The main considerations for non-cash items were stock-based compensation, operating lease right-of-use asset expense and depreciation and amortization. The main considerations of changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in cash inflows related to an increase in deferred revenue that is partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable as a result of business growth. This was offset by cash outflows related to an increase in deferred contract costs and operating lease liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $88.9 million, reflecting our net loss of $29.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $89.3 million and net cash inflows of $28.8 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The main considerations for non-cash items were stock-based compensation, operating lease right-of-use asset expense and mark to market adjustments on earnout and warrant liabilities. The main considerations of changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in cash inflows related to an increase in deferred revenue that is partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable as a result of business growth. This was partially offset by cash outflows related to an increase in deferred contract costs and operating lease liabilities. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $20.2 million, primarily consisting of $14.9 million paid in a business acquisition, $3.7 million of purchases of property and equipment, and $1.6 million in software development. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $2.6 mill ion, primarily consisting of $3.0 million of purchases of property and equipment, $1.8 million in the purchase of investments, $1.8 million investment in notes, and $1.2 million in software development, partially offset by the release of $5.4 million of certificates of deposit that were replaced by a sublimit of our line of credit. Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $124.0 million, primarily consisting of $168.2 million of proceeds from the exercises of warrants and, $17.7 million of proceeds from the exercises of stock options, partially offset by $49.8 million in purchases of common stock and $12.1 million to repurchase the noncontrolling interest in MaivenPoint Pte. Ltd. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $15.5 million, primarily consisting of $33.1 million in purchases of common stock, $6.1 million in the redemption of the redeemable noncontrolling interest of MaivenPoint, and $4.0 million in the purchase of public warrants, partially offset by $17.2 million of proceeds from the exercising of warrants, and $11.0 million of proceeds from the exercising of stock options. 49 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Indebtedness Credit Facility We maintain a line of credit under the Loan Agreement with HSBC, as lender. See “Note 9 – Line of Credit” in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report. The Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit of up to $30.0 million, with an additional $20.0 million accordion feature for additional capital we may draw upon at our request. Borrowings under the line bear interest at a rate equal to term SOFR plus 3.0% to 3.3% depending on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. The line carries an unused fee at a rate equal to 0.5%. Any borrowings under the Loan Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes. On a consolidated basis with our subsidiaries, we are required to maintain a minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as well as a maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, tested by HSBC each quarter. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, we pledged, assigned, and granted HSBC a security interest in all shares of our subsidiaries, future proceeds, and certain assets as security for our obligations under the Loan Agreement. Our line of credit under the Loan Agreement will mature on November 3, 2026. To date, we are in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Agreement. We have not at any time, including as of and for the fiscal year ending as of December 31, 2025, borrowed under the Loan Agreement. The description of the Loan Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this Annual Report. Leasing Obligations We are obligated under various non-cancelable operating leases for office space and other facilities. The initial terms of the leases expire on various dates through 2032. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, total rent expense for facilities amounted to $9.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, letters of credit have been issued in the amount of $1.0 million as security for operating leases. The letters of credit are secured by a sublimit of our line of credit (refer to “Note 9 - Line of Credit” for further details). Operating Segment Information We operate in one segment. Our products and services are sold throughout the world, through direct and indirect sales channels. Our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM makes operating performance assessment and resource allocation decisions on a global basis. The CODM does not receive discrete financial information about asset allocation, expense allocation, or profitability by product or geography. See “Note 18 – Segment Information” (Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report) for more information. Critical Accounting Estimates Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We also make estimates and assumptions on the reported revenue generated and reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that our management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the section titled “Note - 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” (Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report), we believe the following critical accounting policies are most important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. 50 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Revenue Recognition We derive revenue from four primary sources: SaaS, term license and support, services, and maintenance. Many of our contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations. Our products and services generally do not require a significant amount of integration or interdependency; therefore, our products and services are generally not combined. We allocate the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) for each performance obligation within each contract. We use judgment in determining the SSP for products and services. For substantially all performance obligations except term licenses, we are able to establish the SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. We typically establish an SSP range for our products and services which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. Term licenses are sold only as a bundled arrangement that includes the rights to a term license and support. In determining the SSP of license and support in a term license arrangement, we utilize observable inputs and consider the value relationship between support and term license when compared to the value relationship between support and perpetual licenses, the average economic life of our products, and software renewals rates. Using a combination of the relative fair value method or the residual value method, the SSP of the performance obligations in an arrangement is allocated to each performance obligation within a sales arrangement. Economic Conditions, Challenges, and Risks The markets for software and cloud-based services are dynamic and highly competitive. Our competitors are developing new software while also deploying competing cloud-based services for consumers and businesses. Customer preferences evolve rapidly, and choices in hardware, products, and devices can and do influence how users access services in the cloud, and in some cases, the user’s choice of which suite of cloud-based services to use. We must continue to evolve and adapt to keep pace with this changing environment. The investments we are making in infrastructure, research and development, marketing, and geographic expansion will continue to increase our operating costs and may decrease our operating margins. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. We hire a mix of university and industry talent worldwide. We compete for talented individuals globally by offering an exceptional working environment, broad customer reach, scale in resources, the ability to grow one’s career across many different products and businesses, and competitive compensation and benefits. Additionally, demand for our software and service is correlated to global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, which remain dynamic and currently include multiple ongoing conflicts where the outcomes and consequences are not possible to predict, but could include regional instability and geopolitical shifts, and could materially adversely affect global trade, currency exchange rates, regional economies and the global economy. These in turn could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, reduce our sales and earnings, impair our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 51 Table of Contents PART II Item 7 Our international operations provide a significant portion of our total revenues and expenses. Many of these revenues and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in foreign exchange rates may significantly affect revenue and expenses. Refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” (Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report) for a discussion of these factors and other risks. Seasonality Our quarterly revenue can fluctuate and does not necessarily grow sequentially when measuring any one fiscal quarter’s revenue against another. Historically, our first quarter has been our lowest revenue quarter and our fourth quarter has been our highest revenue quarter, however those results are not necessarily indicative of future quarterly revenue or full year results. Additionally, the timing of new product and service introductions can significantly impact revenue. Lastly, the mix of revenues in any given quarter can cause fluctuations in our reported results, due to differing revenue recognition principles.
