Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026 (the "2025 10-K"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2025 10-K and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We, Kaltura, Inc. (“Kaltura,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), are a market-leading provider of video and rich media offerings for enterprises. Our mission is to power rich, agentic digital experiences across organizational journeys for customers, employees, learners, and audiences.
Kaltura's Digital Experience Platform enables organizations to create, manage, and deliver video and rich media experiences that increasingly incorporate agentic artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities, including conversational interfaces, workflow automation, and outcome-oriented engagement across digital touchpoints. We believe this combination of video, rich media and agentic capabilities enables organizations to move beyond static, one-size-fits-all digital experiences toward more personalized, contextual, and interactive agentic digital experiences at scale.
Video and other forms of rich media - including interactive, data-driven, and conversational media - are central to digital interaction and engagement, transforming how people communicate, work, learn, and consume content. For organizations, rich media increasingly sits at the core of digital transformation initiatives, with businesses adopting media-driven solutions to engage customers, employees, learners, and audiences across a growing range of use cases. At the same time, advances in generative artificial intelligence (“Gen AI”) are enabling the real-time and automated creation of highly personalized and contextually relevant content, including video and other forms of rich media. We believe the convergence of rich media and AI is increasing the scale, speed, and strategic importance of digital experiences and driving demand for platforms that support more interactive, contextual, and outcome-oriented engagement.
Founded in 2006, Kaltura was among the pioneers to recognize the potential of integrating video into enterprise workflows and to offer a system for enterprise video content management and online video publishing. Over time, we expanded our platform to support additional experiences, including virtual events and webinars and cloud-based television services. Today, Kaltura provides a cloud-based rich media platform designed to help organizations create, manage, and deliver rich media experiences at scale across customer-facing, employee-facing, learner-facing, and audience-facing use cases.
Our Digital Experience platform is designed around three core layers: rich media content creation, rich media content management, and rich media experiences. Together, these layers enable organizations to produce and generate live and on-demand video and other forms of rich media, securely manage content, users, permissions, and metadata across enterprise and media environments, and deliver media-rich experiences across a wide range of internal and external workflows. The platform increasingly incorporates agentic AI-driven capabilities designed to enable more interactive, contextual, and goal-oriented experiences, while maintaining enterprise-grade security, privacy, and governance.
As video usage continues to accelerate across communication, work, and learning environments, organizations are increasingly deploying sophisticated video solutions to further engage with their customers, partners, and employees. The introduction of Gen AI further amplifies this demand and is expected to have a substantial impact on our business by enabling the automatic production of hyper-personalized and contextually relevant video experiences in real time. We believe this powerful new tool will expand opportunities for increased video creation, consumption, and monetization, and drives a need for advanced video content management solutions.

To support our AI capabilities, in 2025, we acquired eSelf AI, a multimodal AI lab developing technology for agentic interactions with live avatars. Through this acquisition, we expanded our content creation and experience capabilities to include AI-generated video and avatar-based interactions, enhancing our rich media content creation layer. In addition, in April, 2026, we completed our previously announced acquisition of PathFactory Holdings ULC (“PathFactory”), a provider of content journey orchestration and engagement analytics solutions. We believe this acquisition, will strengthen our position in the emerging conversation automation and agentic engagement solutions market and complement the eSelf AI acquisition by adding journey-level orchestration, intent data, analytics, and integrations across additional content types and enterprise systems.
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) subscriptions, and we also derive revenue from platform usage license subscriptions and associated professional services. Our sales typically target medium to large enterprises, educational institutions, technology providers, and media and telecom companies. In addition, we are expanding our go-to-market approaches to support a wider range of adoption models and customer sizes. Our professional services revenue is generally driven by implementation and support services for new and existing customers.
We organize our business into two reporting segments: (i) Enterprise, Education, and Technology (“EE&T”); and (ii) Media and Telecom (“M&T”). Accordingly, our financial reporting distinguishes between revenue and gross profit from Subscription and Professional Services from customers who use our products and services to address Entertainment & Monetization use cases (for their audiences), reported in our M&T segment, and those that are attained from customers who are using us to address all other use cases (for their customers, employees, and learners), reported in our EE&T segment. These segments share a common underlying platform consisting of our API-based architecture, as well as unified product development, operations, and administrative resources.
•Enterprise, Education & Technology: In the EE&T segment, subscription revenue is primarily generated on a per full‑time equivalent or platform usage‑license basis for all of our products, in addition to revenue derived from associated professional services. This segment encompasses customers utilizing Kaltura’s solutions to deliver agentic rich-media experiences for their customers, employees, and learners such as buyer enablement, employee recruiting, learning and teaching. Contracts in this segment typically range from 12 to 24 months, with billing generally executed on an annual basis.
•Media & Telecom: The M&T segment includes revenue from customers using Kaltura to deliver entertainment and streaming use cases to their audiences, along with the associated professional services. For customers of our telecom TVCMS and TV Streaming Applications, revenue is recognized primarily on a per end‑subscriber basis, while media customers leveraging our Online Video Platform are billed on a platform usage‑license basis. Contracts in this segment generally extend for two to five years, with billing performed on either a quarterly or annual basis. Implementation of TV offerings typically requires six to 12 months, with upfront resource requirements generally higher than those for our other offerings. Consequently, there is an extended period from initial booking to go‑live, accompanied by a higher proportion of professional services revenue relative to overall revenue. Additionally, a greater share of revenue in this segment is derived from customers licensing our offerings through private cloud and on‑premise deployments, which has an impact on our gross margin.

We employ a "land and expand strategy" with the aim of having our customers increase their usage of our offerings and/or purchase additional offerings over time. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 95% and 107%, respectively, primarily reflecting the lagging impact of elevated churn in our M&T segment in 2025 . Our Annualized Recurring Revenue (as defined below), declined by 3% in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
For any given year, a large majority of our revenue comes from existing customers, with whom we are in active dialogue and tend to have visibility into their expected usage of our offerings.
We are expanding our go-to-market approaches to support a wider range of adoption models and customer sizes. We believe certain of our newer offerings, particularly AI-assisted content creation tools and conversational rich media agents, are well suited for more targeted departmental deployments, self-service adoption, and product-led growth (“PLG”) motions. These offerings may enable us to engage smaller organizations, teams, and departments, including small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”) and individual groups within larger enterprises, while remaining complementary to our core enterprise business. In addition, we are investing in developer-led growth (“DLG”) initiatives by expanding our APIs, SDKs, and developer tools, including planned offerings such as an Agentic Avatar SDK. These capabilities are designed to enable independent software vendors (“ISVs”), system integrators, partners, and developers to embed Kaltura-powered rich media and conversational interfaces into their own products, workflows, and applications. We also intend to continue expanding our ecosystem of channel partners, including co-sell, resell, OEM, and marketplace relationships. We believe that broader partner distribution, including through cloud marketplaces and digital channels, may increase reach, reduce customer acquisition costs, and accelerate adoption across both enterprise and self-service use cases. Recent partnerships with platforms such as Descript and Cornerstone illustrate this strategy: by integrating the Company’s AI-powered video, avatar, content management, and engagement capabilities into adjacent creation, learning, and workforce-development workflows, the Company intends to meet customers where they already work, package its capabilities into higher-value solutions, and unlock partner-led demand from established enterprise ecosystems.

Overview
We, Kaltura, Inc. (“Kaltura,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), are a market-leading provider of video and rich media offerings for enterprises. Our mission is to power rich, agentic digital experiences across organizational journeys for customers, employees, learners, and audiences.
Kaltura's Digital Experience Platform enables organizations to create, manage, and deliver video and rich media experiences that increasingly incorporate agentic artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities, including conversational interfaces, workflow automation, and outcome-oriented engagement across digital touchpoints. We believe this combination of video, rich media and agentic capabilities enables organizations to move beyond static, one-size-fits-all digital experiences toward more personalized, contextual, and interactive agentic digital experiences at scale.
Video and other forms of rich media - including interactive, data-driven, and conversational media - are central to digital interaction and engagement, transforming how people communicate, work, learn, and consume content. For organizations, rich media increasingly sits at the core of digital transformation initiatives, with businesses adopting media-driven solutions to engage customers, employees, learners, and audiences across a growing range of use cases. At the same time, advances in generative artificial intelligence (“Gen AI”) are enabling the real-time and automated creation of highly personalized and contextually relevant content, including video and other forms of rich media. We believe the convergence of rich media and AI is increasing the scale, speed, and strategic importance of digital experiences and driving demand for platforms that support more interactive, contextual, and outcome-oriented engagement.
Founded in 2006, Kaltura was among the pioneers to recognize the potential of integrating video into enterprise workflows and to offer a system for enterprise video content management and online video publishing. Over time, we expanded our platform to support additional experiences, including virtual events and webinars and cloud-based television services. Today, Kaltura provides a cloud-based rich media platform designed to help organizations create, manage, and deliver rich media experiences at scale across customer-facing, employee-facing, learner-facing, and audience-facing use cases.
Our Digital Experience platform is designed around three core layers: rich media content creation, rich media content management, and rich media experiences. Together, these layers enable organizations to produce and generate live and on-demand video and other forms of rich media, securely manage content, users, permissions, and metadata across enterprise and media environments, and deliver media-rich experiences across a wide range of internal and external workflows. The platform increasingly incorporates agentic AI-driven capabilities designed to enable more interactive, contextual, and goal-oriented experiences, while maintaining enterprise-grade security, privacy, and governance.
As video usage continues to accelerate across communication, work, and learning environments, organizations are increasingly deploying sophisticated video solutions to further engage with their customers, partners, and employees. The introduction of generative AI (“Gen AI”) further amplifies this demand and is expected to have a substantial impact on our business by enabling the automatic production of hyper-personalized and contextually relevant video experiences in real time. We believe this powerful new tool will expand opportunities for increased video creation, consumption, and monetization, and drives a need for advanced video content management solutions.

To support our AI capabilities, in 2025, we acquired eSelf AI, a multimodal AI lab developing technology for agentic interactions with live avatars. Through this acquisition, we expanded our content creation and experience capabilities to include AI-generated video and avatar-based interactions, enhancing our rich media content creation layer. In addition, in March, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire PathFactory, a provider of content journey orchestration and engagement analytics solutions. We believe this acquisition, once completed, would strengthen our position in the emerging conversation automation and agentic engagement solutions market and complement our recent acquisition of eSelf AI by adding journey-level orchestration, intent data, analytics, and integrations across additional content types and enterprise systems. The transaction has not yet closed, and there can be no assurance that it will be completed or that the anticipated benefits will be realized.
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) subscriptions, and we also derive revenue from platform usage license subscriptions and associated professional services. Our sales typically target medium to large enterprises, educational institutions, technology providers, and media and telecom companies. In addition, we are expanding our go-to-market approaches to support a wider range of adoption models and customer sizes. Our professional services revenue is generally driven by implementation and support services for new and existing customers.
In August 2025, our Board of Directors approved a reorganization plan (the “2025 Reorganization Plan) that included, among other things, downsizing approximately 10% of our workforce and adapting our organizational structure, roles, and responsibilities accordingly. The total cost reduction from the downsizing in connection with the 2025 Reorganization Plan on an annualized basis is expected to be approximately $8.5 million. The 2025 Reorganization Plan, which was completed in the third quarter of 2025, is focused on realigning the Company’s operations to further increase efficiency and productivity, alongside our integration of enhanced AI-based technologies, to align the Company’s business strategy in light of uncertainties in the current macro-economic climate, and to support the Company’s growth and profitability initiatives.
We organize our business into two reporting segments: (i) Enterprise, Education, and Technology (“EE&T”); and (ii) Media and Telecom (“M&T”). Accordingly, our financial reporting distinguishes between revenue and gross profit from Subscription and Professional Services from customers who use our products and services to address Entertainment & Monetization use cases (for their audiences), reported in our M&T segment, and those that are attained from customers who are using us to address all other use cases (for their customers, employees, and learners), reported in our EE&T segment. These segments share a common underlying platform consisting of our API-based architecture, as well as unified product development, operations, and administrative resources.
•Enterprise, Education & Technology: In the EE&T segment, subscription revenue is primarily generated on a per full‑time equivalent or platform usage‑license basis for all of our products, in addition to revenue derived from associated professional services. This segment encompasses customers utilizing Kaltura’s solutions to deliver agentic rich-media experiences for their customers, employees, and learners such as buyer enablement, employee recruiting, learning and teaching. Contracts in this segment typically range from 12 to 24 months, with billing generally executed on an annual basis.
•Media & Telecom: The M&T segment includes revenue from customers using Kaltura to deliver entertainment and streaming use cases to their audiences, along with the associated professional services. For customers of our telecom TVCMS and TV Streaming Applications, revenue is recognized primarily on a per end‑subscriber basis, while media customers leveraging our Online Video Platform are billed on a platform usage‑license basis. Contracts in this segment generally extend for two to five years, with billing performed on either a quarterly or annual basis. Implementation of TV offerings typically requires six to 12 months, with upfront resource requirements generally higher than those for our other offerings. Consequently, there is an extended period from initial booking to go‑live, accompanied by a higher proportion of professional services revenue relative to overall revenue. Additionally, a greater share of revenue in this segment is derived from customers licensing our offerings through private cloud and on‑premise deployments, which has an impact on our gross margin.

We employ a “land and expand” strategy with the aim of having our customers increase their usage of our offerings and/or purchase additional offerings over time. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 100%. Our Annualized Recurring Revenue (as defined below), declined by 3% in the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
For any given year, a large majority of our revenue comes from existing customers, with whom we are in active dialogue and tend to have visibility into their expected usage of our offerings.
We are expanding our go-to-market approaches to support a wider range of adoption models and customer sizes. We believe certain of our newer offerings, particularly AI-assisted content creation tools and conversational rich media agents, are well suited for more targeted departmental deployments, self-service adoption, and product-led growth (“PLG”) motions. These offerings may enable us to engage smaller organizations, teams, and departments, including small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) and individual groups within larger enterprises, while remaining complementary to our core enterprise business. In addition, we are investing in developer-led growth (“DLG”) initiatives by expanding our APIs, SDKs, and developer tools, including planned offerings such as an Agentic Avatar SDK. These capabilities are designed to enable independent software vendors (“ISVs”), system integrators, partners, and developers to embed Kaltura-powered rich media and conversational interfaces into their own products, workflows, and applications. We also intend to continue expanding our ecosystem of channel partners, including co-sell, resell, OEM, and marketplace relationships. We believe that broader partner distribution, including through cloud marketplaces and digital channels, may increase reach, reduce customer acquisition costs, and accelerate adoption across both enterprise and self-service use cases.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Expansion of our Platform
We believe our platform is ideally suited for expansion across solutions, industries, and use cases. For example, in 2020, we entered the real-time conferencing market with the introduction of our Virtual and Hybrid Events, Webinars, and Online Learning products, focusing on learning, training, events, and marketing. Since then, we expanded the capabilities of our Virtual & Hybrid Events product to support a broader range of event types and use cases, fitted them to also address low-touch and self-serve sales and introduced a set of Gen AI-powered capabilities designed to increase productivity in creating content and setting up events and to foster user engagement. We plan to continue enhancing our platform’s capabilities—including by further integrating Gen AI features that enable automatic video creation, advanced personalization, and real-time analytics. Our robust API-first architecture supports deep integration into multiple workflows, which we believe is critical for driving adoption and delivering enhanced value for our customers.

Acquiring New Customers
We remain focused on acquiring customers across our key verticals (technology, education, regulated industries, professional and commercial services, and media & telecom). Our approach includes direct enterprise sales for larger customers, as well as channel partnerships and more self-serve or inside sales–led motions to capture small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”). We believe that increasing brand awareness and continued product innovation will help us attract new customers across geographies and industries. We also continue to provide our self-serve offering that can be purchased completely online, which serves as a demand generation engine for our low-touch and enterprise offerings. We believe this will enable us to efficiently acquire smaller customers across all industries over time – expanding beyond enterprises into SMEs, beyond universities into K-12 schools, beyond tier 1 media and telecom companies to tier 2 and 3 media and telecom companies, and beyond providing our platform to large technology companies to also addressing smaller technology firms and startups.
Increasing Revenue from Existing Customers
Many of our customers run multiple Kaltura products for various use cases, ranging from employee training and collaboration to external marketing and virtual events. By cross-selling and upselling additional solutions — such as our newly introduced Gen AI-powered capabilities and expanded application suites — we aim to drive higher usage and expand overall revenue. Our strong integration, ongoing support, and a commitment to evolving security and compliance requirements also helps us support sustained customer adoption and usage growth. We are focused on increasing sales within our existing customer base through increased usage of our platform and the cross-selling of additional products and solutions. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 100%. In order for us to increase revenue within our customer base, we will need to maintain engineering-level customer support and continue to introduce new products and features as well as innovative new use cases that are tailored to our customers' needs.
Continued Investment in Growth
Although we have invested significantly in our business to date, we believe that we still have a significant market opportunity ahead of us. We intend to continue to make investments to support the growth and expansion of our business and to increase revenue. We believe there is a significant opportunity to continue our growth. We expect that our cost of revenue and operating expenses will fluctuate over time.
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We measure our business using both financial and operating metrics. We use these metrics to assess the progress of our business, make decisions on where to allocate capital, time, and technology investments, and assess the near-term and long-term performance of our business. The key financial and operating metrics we use are:

Table of Contents
Annualized Recurring Revenue
We use Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR") as a measure of our revenue trend and an indicator of our future revenue opportunity from existing recurring customer contracts. We calculate ARR by annualizing our recurring revenue for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Recurring revenues are generated from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, as well as term licenses for software installed on the customer’s premises (“On-Prem”). For the SaaS and PaaS components, we calculate ARR by annualizing the actual recurring revenue recognized for the latest fiscal quarter.
For the On-Prem components for which revenue recognition is not ratable across the license term, we calculate ARR for each contract by dividing the total contract value (excluding professional services) as of the last day of the specified period by the number of days in the contract term and then multiplying by 365.
Recurring revenue excludes revenue from one-time professional services and setup fees. ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, or price increases or decreases.
The amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, pending renewals, professional services revenue, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions or divestitures. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue as it is an operating metric and is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of revenue. Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
Our Net Dollar Retention Rate, which we use to measure our success in retaining and growing recurring revenue from our existing customers, compares our recognized recurring revenue from a set of customers across comparable periods. We calculate our Net Dollar Retention Rate for a given period as the recognized recurring revenue from the latest reported fiscal quarter from the set of customers whose revenue existed in the reported fiscal quarter from the prior year (the numerator), divided by recognized recurring revenue from such customers for the same fiscal quarter in the prior year (denominator). For annual periods, we report Net Dollar Retention Rate as the arithmetic average of the Net Dollar Retention Rate for all fiscal quarters included in the period. We consider subdivisions of the same legal entity (for example, divisions of a parent company or separate campuses that are part of the same state university system) ,as well as Value-add Resellers (“VARs”) (meaning resellers that directly manage the relationship with the customer) and the customers they manage, to be a single customer for purposes of calculating our Net Dollar Retention Rate. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate for any fiscal period includes the positive recognized recurring revenue impacts of selling new services to existing customers and the negative recognized recurring revenue impacts of contraction and attrition among this set of customers. Our Net Dollar Retention Rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the growing level of our revenue base, the level of penetration within our customer base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our customers. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining Performance Obligations represents the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been delivered, including both subscription and professional services revenues. Remaining Performance Obligations consists of both deferred revenue and contracted non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. As of December 31, 2025, our Remaining Performance Obligations was $166.3 million, which consists of both billed consideration in the amount of $62.4 million and unbilled consideration in the amount of $103.9 million that we expect to invoice and recognize in future periods. We expect to recognize 64% of our Remaining Performance Obligations as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder over the next four years.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful in evaluating the performance of our business.
We define EBITDA as net profit (loss) before financial expenses (income), net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, facility exit and transition costs, war-related expenses, restructuring charges, certain professional consulting and other expenses associated with strategic initiatives and acquisition related expenses.
90
Table of Contents
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance, are not defined by or presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net profit (loss) or any other performance measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe that they provide useful supplemental information to investors and analysts regarding our operating performance and are frequently used by these parties in evaluating companies in our industry. By presenting EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Additionally, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because it assists us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis between periods, as described above.
Although we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have significant limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations include:
•such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
•although depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, thereby further limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Due to these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment for non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. It is reasonable to expect that this item will occur in future periods. However, we believe this adjustment is appropriate because the amount recognized can vary significantly from period to period, does not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business, and complicates comparisons of our internal operating results between periods and with the operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described above help to provide management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations. Nevertheless, because of the limitations described above, management does not view EBITDA, or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measures, such as revenue, operating loss, and net loss, to measure operating performance.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Subscription
Our revenues are mainly comprised of revenue from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions. SaaS and PaaS subscriptions provide access to our Video Experience Cloud which powers all types of video experiences: live, real-time, and on-demand video. We provide access to our platform either as a cloud-based service, which represent most of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, or, less commonly, as a term license to software installed on the customer's premises. Revenue from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions is recognized ratably over the time of the subscription, beginning from the date on which the customer is granted access to our Video Experience Cloud.
92
Table of Contents
Revenue from the sale of a term license is recognized at a point in time in which the license is delivered to the customer. Revenue from post-contract services (“PCS”) included in On-Prem deals is recognized ratably over the period of the PCS.
Professional Services
Our revenue also includes professional services, which consist of consulting, integration and customization services, technical solution services and training related to our video experience. In some of our arrangements, professional services are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon rendering of the service.
In some of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, we determined that the professional services are solely set up activities that do not transfer goods or services to the customer and therefore are not accounted for as a separate performance obligation and are recognized ratably over the time of the subscription.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of employee-related costs including payroll, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for operations and customer support teams, costs of cloud hosting providers and other third-party service providers, amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology and allocated overhead costs.
Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel costs of our professional services organization, including payroll, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, allocated overhead costs and other third-party service providers.
The costs associated with providing professional services are significantly higher as a percentage of related revenue than the costs associated with delivering our subscriptions due to the labor costs of providing professional services. As such, the implementation and professional services costs relating to an arrangement with a new customer are more significant than the costs to renew an existing customer’s license and support arrangement.
Cost of revenue decreased in absolute dollars from the year ended December 31, 2024 to the year ended December 31, 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our cost of revenue was $53,185 and $59,611, respectively.
Gross Margins
Gross margin has improved year-over-year since 2020, and while it has and will continue to vacillate between quarters, we expect it to continue the growth trend in the coming years. Gross margins have been, and will continue to be, affected by a variety of factors, including the average sales price of our products and services, volume growth, the mix of revenue between software licenses, maintenance and support, professional services, onboarding of new media and telecom customers, hosting of major virtual events, and changes in cloud infrastructure and personnel costs. In particular, the gross margins in the M&T segment are lower than in the EE&T segment because of resources required for implementing solutions for TV experiences, which generally exceed those of other offerings. This results in a longer period for M&T from initial booking to go-live and a higher proportion of professional services revenue as a percentage of overall revenue. Additionally, a higher proportion of M&T revenue comes from customers who choose to license our offerings through private cloud and on-premise deployments, which also impacts our M&T gross margin. Going forward, we expect to see a gradual improvement in gross margins for both EE&T and M&T, driven by enhanced efficiencies in both production and professional services costs.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, our gross margins were 71% (77% for subscription and (54)% for professional services), 67% (75% for subscription and (55)% for professional services) and 64% (73% for subscription and (51)% for professional services), respectively.
For our EE&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were 77% (83% for subscription and (138)% for professional services), 75% (82% for subscription and (97)% for professional services) and 73% (79% for subscription and (78)% for professional services), respectively.
For our M&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were 51% (57% for subscription and 2% for professional services), 44% (55% for subscription and (25)% for professional services) and 41% (55% for subscription and (35)% for professional services), respectively.

Table of Contents
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for personnel-related expenses for our technical staff, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. Additional expenses include consulting and professional fees for third-party development resources and software subscriptions. We expect our research and development expenses to gradually decrease as a percentage of revenue. Subsequent costs incurred for the development of future upgrades and enhancements, which are expected to result in additional functionality, may qualify for capitalization under internal-use software and therefore may cause research and development expenses to fluctuate.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs for our sales and marketing functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs, such as sales commissions.
Additional expenses include marketing program costs and amortization of acquired customer relationships intangible assets. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase as a percentage of revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our executive, finance, human resources, information technology, and legal functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. Additional expenses include costs for other operational and administrative functions, professional fees for external legal, accounting, and consulting services, directors’ and officers’ insurance, and strategic initiatives. We expect our general and administrative expenses to gradually decrease as a percentage of revenue.
We allocate overhead costs such as rent, utilities, and supplies to all departments based on relative headcount to each operating expense category.
Financial Expenses (Income), Net
Financial expenses (income), net consists of interest expense accrued or paid on our indebtedness, net of interest income earned on our cash balances and marketable securities. Financial expenses (income), net also includes foreign exchange gains and losses and bank fees.
We expect interest expenses to vary each reporting period depending on the amount of outstanding indebtedness and prevailing interest rates.
We expect interest income will vary in each reporting period depending on our average cash and marketable securities balances during the period and applicable interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
We are subject to taxes in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions or countries in which we conduct business. Earnings from our non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may be subject to current U.S. income tax. Due to cumulative losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the extent to which a valuation allowance should be applied against our deferred tax assets. Realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets depends upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Our effective tax rate is affected by tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions, as well as non-deductible expenses, such as share-based compensation, and changes in our valuation allowance.

The decrease was primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in compensation expenses which were driven by the full recognition of high fair value RSUs granted in December 2021, which were fully expensed prior to 2025. In addition the decrease was also due to a $1.0 million decrease in subcontractor and consultant costs, primarily attributable to reduced use of outsourced resources.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $5.2 million or 11% , to $40.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.8 million decrease in compensation costs mainly driven by expense acceleration recognized in the comparative period in connection with the cancellation of unvested market-based equity awards granted to the Chief Executive Officer, and by lower stock-based compensation costs, largely reflecting the full recognition of high fair value options and RSUs granted in December 2021, which were fully expensed prior to 2025. The decrease also reflects a $1.3 million one-time expense in 2024 associated with the termination of commitments with a cloud hosting service provider. These were partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in strategic initiatives costs, primarily due to professional, consulting, and other expenses, as well as by a $0.4 million increase in acquisition related expenses, incurred in connection with the acquisition of eSelf AI.
Restructuring
Restructuring expenses were $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the 2025 Reorganization Plan being implemented in the third quarter of 2025 and consisting of employee severance and related costs.
Financial Expenses (Income), net
Financial expense (income), net changed by $4.5 million, to $4.0 million expense, for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $0.4 million income for the year ended December 31, 2024. The change was mainly related to increased expense of $4.5 million related to exchange rate differences primarily driven by the revaluation of NIS‑denominated liabilities. As the USD weakened against the NIS during 2025, these liabilities were remeasured at a lower USD–ILS exchange rate, resulting in a higher carrying amount in USD terms and consequently higher foreign exchange expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes decreased by $4.6 million, or 60%, to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decreased tax liability related to income generated by our subsidiaries organized under the laws of Israel.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through net cash provided by operating activities, equity issuances, and borrowings under our long-term debt arrangements. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Our principal sources of liquidity are expected to be our cash on hand and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2025, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $25.0 million is available for future borrowings.
99
Table of Contents
We believe that our net cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing needs for at least the next 12 months.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth, the timing and extent of investments to support such growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, increases in general and administrative costs and many other factors as described under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “—Key Factors Affecting Our Performance.” In addition, our cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits.
In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we will be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all.
If necessary, we may borrow funds under our Revolving Credit Facility to finance our liquidity requirements, subject to customary borrowing conditions. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, the current global economic volatility, including due to uncertainty around U.S. and foreign tariffs and other trade barriers, rising inflation and uncertainty with respect to interest rates, price increases and supply chain issues, deteriorating global political conditions and various other factors, has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. Our ability to access capital may also be impacted by political, economic, and military conditions in Israel, including the current security situation or any escalation of conflicts with Israel, and in other regions in which we operate, or changes in the business environment in those regions. If we are unable to raise additional funds when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Repurchase Program
In June 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “2024 Repurchase Program”), which provided for repurchases up to a total of $5 million thereunder. Subsequently, in March 2025, the Board approved a new repurchase program (the “2025 Repurchase Program”), providing for repurchases up to a total of $15 million thereunder, which superseded the 2024 Repurchase Program.
On November 7, 2025, pursuant to additional repurchase authority approved by the Board, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “2025 Stock Purchase Agreement” ) with Special Situations Investing Group II, LLC (the “Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company has repurchased 14,443,739 shares of Common Stock from the Sellers at a purchase price of $16,610,300, representing a price per share of $1.15 for each of the Company’s share of common stock, calculated on the basis of a 25% discount over the average daily VWAP over the 30-day period ending on November 5, 2025. In addition, the Board terminated the 2025 Repurchase Program.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 19,087,579 shares of common stock at an weighted average price of $1.37 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees of $139).
Credit Facilities
In January 2021, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with one of our existing lenders, which provided for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), which thereafter were extended and amended to align our business needs and other developments. In December 2023, we refinanced all amounts outstanding under the then-existing Credit Agreement, and entered into a new amendment to the credit agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) with an existing lender, which provides for an additional term loan facility of $3.5 million in addition to the existing $31.5 million in term loans outstanding immediately prior to the Fifth Amendment. Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility decreased to $25.0 million.
In July 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement with an existing lender, in connection with our share repurchase program, which updated the aggregate amount of permitted Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which term includes, among other things, the repurchase of the Company’s outstanding common stock) and conditions for making such payments.
100
Table of Contents
In March 2025 and October 2025, the Company entered into additional amendments to the Credit Agreement, each of which provided for, among other things, an increase to the aggregate amount of permitted Restricted Payments and updates to the conditions for making such payments to facilitate the Company’s repurchases of securities.
On October 20, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement, which provided for, among other things, an increase to the aggregate amount of permitted Restricted Payments and updates to the conditions for making such payments to facilitate the Company’s repurchases of securities.
The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to a borrowing base, which is equal to the product of (a) 500% (which will automatically reduce to 350% on the date the Term Loan Facility is repaid in full), multiplied by (b) monthly Recurring Revenue for the most recently ended monthly period, multiplied by (c) the Retention Rate (in each case, as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Revolving Credit Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit in the aggregate availability amount of $10.0 million and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of $5.0 million, each of which reduces borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Following the effectiveness of the Fifth Amendment, borrowings under the Credit Facilities are subject to interest, determined as follows: (a) SOFR loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.10% per annum plus a margin of 2.50% (the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is subject to a 1.00% floor), and (b) ABR loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus a margin of 1.50% (ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, subject to a 2.00% floor). As of December 31, 2025, the current rate of interest under the Credit Facilities was equal to a rate per annum of 6.27%, consisting of 3.67% (the 3-month SOFR rate as of December 31, 2025), 0.10% credit spread adjustment and the margin of 2.50%.
We are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds of any indebtedness incurred by us or any of our subsidiaries other than certain permitted indebtedness. In addition, we are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities with the net cash proceeds of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain limited reinvestment rights.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
All voluntary prepayments (other than ABR loans borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility) must be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid and customary “breakage” costs, if any, with respect to prepayments of SOFR loans.
The Term Loan Facility is payable in consecutive quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to (i) $0.4 million for installments payable on December 31, 2023 (deferred to January 9, 2024), through September 30, 2024 (ii) $0.7 million for installments payable on December 31, 2025 ($0.2 million of the amount deferred to January 2025), through September 30, 2025, and (iii) $1.3 million for installments payable on and after December 31, 2025. The remaining unpaid balance on the Term Loan Facility is due and payable on December 21, 2026, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to, but excluding, the payment date. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
Our obligations under the Credit Facilities are currently guaranteed by Kaltura Europe Limited, and are required to be guaranteed by all of our future direct and indirect subsidiaries other than certain excluded subsidiaries and immaterial foreign subsidiaries. Our obligations and those of Kaltura Europe Limited are, and the obligations of any future guarantors are required to be, secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our respective assets.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to:
•create, issue, incur, assume, become liable in respect of or suffer to exist any debt or liens;
•consummate any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve, or dispose of all or substantially all of our or their respective property or business;
101

•dispose of property or, in the case of our subsidiaries, issue or sell any shares of such subsidiary’s capital stock;
•repay, prepay, redeem, purchase, retire or defease subordinated debt;
•declare or pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments;
•make certain investments;
•enter into transactions with affiliates;
•enter into new lines of business; and
•make certain amendments to our or their respective organizational documents or certain material contracts.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants that require us to maintain (i) a minimum amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (which minimum amount increased through the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025) (the “Adjusted EBITDA Covenant”), and (ii) Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $20 million as of the last day of any calendar month.
We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2025.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. In addition, the lenders under the Credit Facilities will be permitted to accelerate all outstanding borrowings and other obligations, terminate outstanding commitments and exercise other specified remedies upon the occurrence of certain events of default (subject to certain grace periods and exceptions), which include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain cross-defaults and cross-accelerations to other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain judgments and Change of Control events (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
As of December 31, 2025, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $25.0 million remains available for future borrowings. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $29.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.

Non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $4.5 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $16.5 million and amortization of deferred contract acquisitions and fulfillment costs of $11.2 million, partially offset by non-cash interest income, net of $0.3 million and gain on foreign exchange of $0.5 million. The main drivers of net cash outflows that were derived from the changes in operating assets and liabilities were related to an increase in deferred contract acquisition costs of $5.1 million, an increase of $2.8 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a total decrease in employee accruals, accrued expenses, and other liabilities of $1.9 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of a $0.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in trade receivables of a $3.6 million, a net change in operating right-of-use asset and lease liability of $1.5 million and an increase in trade payables of $0.7 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to $31.3 million in incremental net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges of $41.6 million, and net cash of $2.1 million due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $5.1 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $26.3 million and amortization of deferred contract acquisitions and fulfillment costs of $11.4 million. The main drivers of net cash inflows that were derived from the changes in operating assets and liabilities were related to an increase of $5.4 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, a decrease in trade receivables of $3.3 million, an increase of $2.7 million in employees and payroll accruals and an increase of $0.5 million in deferred revenue, partially offset by an increase in deferred contract acquisition costs of $7.5 million, an increase of $1 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a decrease in trade payables of $0.5 million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2025:
| Payments Due by Period | |||||||||||

(1) Represents borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2025, together with estimated interest payments thereon based on the interest rates in effect for such indebtedness as of December 31, 2025. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources - Credit Facilities.”
(2) Represents the lease payments under our operating leases in the U.S. and Israel. The operating lease payments for our lease in Israel assume our exercise of the first extension option for an additional five years. See Note 8, Leases, to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
(3) Consists of minimum purchase commitments mainly for our use of certain cloud and other services with third-party providers with a term of 12 months or longer. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.
We reported other liabilities of $17.7 million in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025, which principally consists of unrecognized tax benefits. See Note 12, Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information. We have excluded these liabilities from the contractual obligations table above. A variety of factors could affect the timing of payments for the liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such payments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the accounting policies described below require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Judgments or uncertainties affecting the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding these and our other significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We apply judgment in identifying and evaluating terms and conditions in contracts that may impact revenue recognition. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). When applicable, we allocate the transaction price between the separate performance obligations according to their SSP, which is based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the SSP taking into account available information, including, but not limited to, pricing practices, market conditions, and the economic life of the software.

Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in Israel, the U.S., and other foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes, including evaluating uncertainties in the application of accounting principles and complex tax laws. We recognize and measure benefits for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis, based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits, and effective settlement of audit issues.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
Under the JOBS Act, an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an “emerging growth company” to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different transition dates for public and private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We meet the definition of an “emerging growth company” and have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (x) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (y) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations contained therein may not be directly comparable to those of other public companies. We expect to cease being an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2026.

Overview
We are Kaltura, Inc. (“Kaltura,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a market-leading provider of live, real-time, and on-demand video offerings for enterprises, with a mission to “create and power AI-infused hyper-personalized video experiences for organizations, that boost customer and employee engagement and success”.
Founded in 2006, we pioneered the concept of leveraging video as a core data type within organizational workflows. Today, our Video Experience Cloud includes our platforms for Enterprise Video Content Management System (including Real-Time Conferencing, Live Streaming and Lecture Capture) and TV Content Management System. These platforms power our AI-infused, video-first products: Video Portals, LMS & CMS Video Extensions, Virtual Events & Webinars, Virtual Classroom, and TV Streaming Applications.
As video usage continues to accelerate across communication, work, and learning environments, organizations are increasingly deploying sophisticated video solutions to further engage with their customers, partners, and employees. The introduction of generative AI (“Gen AI”) further amplifies this demand and is expected to have a substantial impact on our business by enabling the automatic production of hyper-personalized and contextually relevant video experiences in real time. We believe this powerful new tool will expand opportunities for increased video creation, consumption, and monetization, and drives a need for advanced video content management solutions.
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) subscriptions, and we also derive revenue from platform usage license subscriptions and associated professional services. Our sales typically target medium to large enterprises, educational institutions, technology providers, and media and telecom companies. Our professional services revenue is generally driven by implementation and support services for new and existing customers.
We organize our business into two reporting segments: (i) Enterprise, Education, and Technology (“EE&T”); and (ii) Media and Telecom (“M&T”). Accordingly, our financial reporting distinguishes between revenue and gross profit from Subscription and Professional Services from customers who use our products and services to address Entertainment & Monetization use cases, reported in our M&T segment, and those that are attained from customers who are using us to address all other use cases, reported in our “EE&T segment“. These segments share a common underlying platform consisting of our API-based architecture, as well as unified product development, operations, and administrative resources.
•Enterprise, Education and Technology (“EE&T”): In the EE&T segment, subscription revenue is primarily generated on a per full‑time equivalent or platform usage‑license basis for all of our products, in addition to revenue derived from associated professional services. This segment encompasses customers utilizing Kaltura’s solutions across Customer Experience and Employee Experience and use cases - including Marketing, Sales & Customer Success; Teaching, Learning, Training & Certification; and Communication & Collaboration. Contracts in this segment typically range from 12 to 24 months, with billing generally executed on an annual basis.
75
Table of Contents
•Media & Telecom (“M&T”): The M&T segment includes revenue from our Entertainment & Monetization use cases, along with the associated professional services. For customers of our telecom TV Content Management System (TVCMS) and TV Streaming Applications, revenue is recognized primarily on a per end‑subscriber basis, while media customers leveraging our Online Video Platform (OVP) are billed on a platform usage‑license basis. Contracts in this segment generally extend for two to five years, with billing performed on either a quarterly or annual basis. Implementation of TV offerings typically requires six to 12 months, with upfront resource requirements generally higher than those for our other offerings. Consequently, there is an extended period from initial booking to go‑live, accompanied by a higher proportion of professional services revenue relative to overall revenue. Additionally, a greater share of revenue in this segment is derived from customers licensing our offerings through private cloud and on‑premise deployments, which has an impact on our gross margin.
Reflected below is a summary of reportable segment revenue and reportable segment gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

We employ a “land and expand” strategy with the aim of having our customers increase their usage of our offerings and/or purchase additional offerings over time. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 100% and 101%, respectively. We also grew our Annualized Recurring Revenue (as defined below), by 6% in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, demonstrating our ability to land new customers with higher spending levels and increase revenue from our existing customers.
For any given year, a large majority of our revenue comes from existing customers, with whom we are in active dialogue and tend to have visibility into their expected usage of our offerings.
As part of our go-to-market strategy, we focus on direct sales to larger enterprise, education, and media & telecom customers while also investing in channel partnerships, and in 'inside sales' for smaller customers. We believe ongoing demand for secure, scalable, and deeply integrated video solutions—further amplified by the rise of Gen AI—positions us for future growth. Our strategy remains centered on broadening our product suite, expanding our customer base across industries, and increasing recurring revenue from existing clients.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Expansion of our Platform
We believe our platform is ideally suited for expansion across solutions, industries, and use cases. For example, in 2020, we entered the real-time conferencing market with the introduction of our Virtual and Hybrid Events, Webinars, and Online Learning products, focusing on learning, training, events, and marketing. Since then, we expanded the capabilities of our Virtual & Hybrid Events product to support a broader range of event types and use cases, fitted them to also address low-touch and self-serve sales and introduced a set of Gen AI-powered capabilities designed to increase productivity in creating content and setting up events and to foster user engagement. We plan to continue enhancing our platform’s capabilities—including by further integrating Gen AI features that enable automatic video creation, advanced personalization, and real-time analytics. Our robust API-first architecture supports deep integration into multiple workflows, which we believe is critical for driving adoption and delivering enhanced value for our customers.

Acquiring New Customers
We remain focused on acquiring customers across our key verticals (technology, education, regulated industries, professional and commercial services, and media & telecom). Our approach includes direct enterprise sales for larger customers, as well as channel partnerships and more self-serve or inside sales–led motions to capture small and medium enterprises (“SMEs”). We believe that increasing brand awareness and continued product innovation will help us attract new customers across geographies and industries. We also continue to provide our self-serve offering that can be purchased completely online, which also serves as a demand generation engine for our low-touch and enterprise offerings. We believe this will enable us to efficiently acquire smaller customers across all industries over time – expanding beyond enterprises into SMEs, beyond universities into K-12 schools, beyond tier 1 media and telecom companies to tier 2 and 3 media and telecom companies, and beyond providing Media Services to large technology companies to also addressing smaller technology firms and startups.
Increasing Revenue from Existing Customers
Many of our customers run multiple Kaltura products for various use cases, ranging from employee training and collaboration to external marketing and virtual events. By cross-selling and upselling additional solutions—such as our newly introduced Gen AI-powered capabilities and expanded application suites—we aim to drive higher usage and expand overall revenue. Sustained customer adoption and usage growth are also supported by strong integration, ongoing support, and a commitment to evolving security and compliance requirements. We are focused on increasing sales within our existing customer base through increased usage of our platform and the cross-selling of additional products and solutions. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 100%. In order for us to increase revenue within our customer base, we will need to maintain engineering-level customer support and continue to introduce new products and features as well as innovative new use cases that are tailored to our customers' needs.
Continued Investment in Growth
Although we have invested significantly in our business to date, we believe that we still have a significant market opportunity ahead of us. We intend to continue to make investments to support the growth and expansion of our business and to increase revenue. We believe there is a significant opportunity to continue our growth. We expect that our cost of revenue and operating expenses will fluctuate.
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We measure our business using both financial and operating metrics. We use these metrics to assess the progress of our business, make decisions on where to allocate capital, time, and technology investments, and assess the near-term and long-term performance of our business. The key financial and operating metrics we use are:

(a)The Net Dollar Retention Rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been recast to reflect the update to our customer count methodology, as discussed further below, which has resulted in an adjustment of 1 percentage point to the reported Net Dollar Retention Rate for such period. The Net Dollar Retention Rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was not impacted by this update.
77
Table of Contents
Annualized Recurring Revenue
We use Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) as a measure of our revenue trend and an indicator of our future revenue opportunity from existing recurring customer contracts. We calculate ARR by annualizing our recurring revenue for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Recurring revenues are generated from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, as well as term licenses for software installed on the customer’s premises (“On-Prem”). For the SaaS and PaaS components, we calculate ARR by annualizing the actual recurring revenue recognized for the latest fiscal quarter. For the On-Prem components for which revenue recognition is not ratable across the license term, we calculate ARR for each contract by dividing the total contract value (excluding professional services) as of the last day of the specified period by the number of days in the contract term and then multiplying by 365. Recurring revenue excludes revenue from one-time professional services and setup fees. ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, or price increases or decreases.
The amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, pending renewals, professional services revenue, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions or divestitures. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue as it is an operating metric and is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of revenue. Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
Our Net Dollar Retention Rate, which we use to measure our success in retaining and growing recurring revenue from our existing customers, compares our recognized recurring revenue from a set of customers across comparable periods. We calculate our Net Dollar Retention Rate for a given period as the recognized recurring revenue from the latest reported fiscal quarter from the set of customers whose revenue existed in the reported fiscal quarter from the prior year (the numerator), divided by recognized recurring revenue from such customers for the same fiscal quarter in the prior year (denominator). For annual periods, we report Net Dollar Retention Rate as the arithmetic average of the Net Dollar Retention Rate for all fiscal quarters included in the period.
As previously disclosed, in 2024 we updated our customer count methodology, which is used to calculate our Net Dollar Retention Rate, to treat subdivisions of the same legal entity (for example, divisions of a parent company or separate campuses that are part of the same state university system), as well as Value-add Resellers (“VARs”) (meaning resellers that directly manage the relationship with the customer) and the customers they manage, to be a single customer. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate for any fiscal period includes the positive recognized recurring revenue impacts of selling new services to existing customers and the negative recognized recurring revenue impacts of contraction and attrition among this set of customers. Our Net Dollar Retention Rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the growing level of our revenue base, the level of penetration within our customer base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our customers. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining Performance Obligations represents the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been delivered, including both subscription and professional services revenues. Remaining Performance Obligations consists of both deferred revenue and contracted non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. As of December 31, 2024, our Remaining Performance Obligations was $203.4 million, which consists of both billed consideration in the amount of $63.2 million and unbilled consideration in the amount of $140.2 million that we expect to invoice and recognize in future periods. We expect to recognize 58% of our Remaining Performance Obligations as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder over the next four years.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful in evaluating the performance of our business.
78
Table of Contents
We define EBITDA as net profit (loss) before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, facility exit and transition costs, restructuring charges, other non-recurring operating expenses and costs related to conflicts in Israel.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance, are not defined by or presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net profit (loss) or any other performance measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe that they provide useful supplemental information to investors and analysts regarding our operating performance and are frequently used by these parties in evaluating companies in our industry. By presenting EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Additionally, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because it assists us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis between periods, as described above.
Although we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have significant limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations include:
•such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
•although depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, thereby further limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Due to these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment for non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. It is reasonable to expect that this item will occur in future periods. However, we believe this adjustment is appropriate because the amount recognized can vary significantly from period to period, does not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business, and complicates comparisons of our internal operating results between periods and with the operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described above help to provide management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations. Nevertheless, because of the limitations described above, management does not view EBITDA, or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measures, such as revenue, operating loss, and net loss, to measure operating performance.

The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net loss:

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Subscription
Our revenues are mainly comprised of revenue from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions. SaaS and PaaS subscriptions provide access to our Video Experience Cloud which powers all types of video experiences: live, real-time, and on-demand video. We provide access to our platform either as a cloud-based service, which represent most of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, or, less commonly, as a term license to software installed on the customer's premises. Revenue from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions is recognized ratably over the time of the subscription, beginning from the date on which the customer is granted access to our Video Experience Cloud. Revenue from the sale of a term license is recognized at a point in time in which the license is delivered to the customer. Revenue from post-contract services (“PCS”) included in On-Prem deals is recognized ratably over the period of the PCS.
Professional Services
Our revenue also includes professional services, which consist of consulting, integration and customization services, technical solution services and training related to our video experience. In some of our arrangements, professional services are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon rendering of the service.
80
Table of Contents
In some of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, we determined that the professional services are solely set up activities that do not transfer goods or services to the customer and therefore are not accounted for as a separate performance obligation and are recognized ratably over the time of the subscription.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of employee-related costs including payroll, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for operations and customer support teams, costs of cloud hosting providers and other third-party service providers, amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology and allocated overhead costs.
Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel costs of our professional services organization, including payroll, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, allocated overhead costs and other third-party service providers.
The costs associated with providing professional services are significantly higher as a percentage of related revenue than the costs associated with delivering our subscriptions due to the labor costs of providing professional services. As such, the implementation and professional services costs relating to an arrangement with a new customer are more significant than the costs to renew an existing customer’s license and support arrangement.
Cost of revenue decreased in absolute dollars from the year ended December 31, 2023 to the year ended December 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our cost of revenue was $59,611 and $62,938, respectively.
Gross Margins
Gross margin has improved year-over-year since 2020, and while it has and will continue to vacillate between quarters, we expect it to continue the growth trend in the coming years. Gross margins have been, and will continue to be, affected by a variety of factors, including the average sales price of our products and services, volume growth, the mix of revenue between software licenses, maintenance and support, professional services, onboarding of new media and telecom customers, hosting of major virtual events, and changes in cloud infrastructure and personnel costs. In particular, the gross margins in the M&T segment are lower than in the EE&T segment because of resources required for implementing solutions for TV experiences, which generally exceed those of other offerings. This results in a longer period for M&T from initial booking to go-live and a higher proportion of professional services revenue as a percentage of overall revenue. Additionally, a higher proportion of M&T revenue comes from customers who choose to license our offerings through private cloud and on-premise deployments, which also impacts our M&T gross margin. Going forward, we expect to see a gradual improvement in gross margins for both EE&T and M&T, driven by enhanced efficiencies in both production and professional services costs.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our gross margins were 67% (75% for subscription and (55)% for professional services), 64% (73% for subscription and (51)% for professional services) and 63% (74% for subscription and (33)% for professional services), respectively.
For our EE&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were 75% (82% for subscription and (97)% for professional services), 73% (79% for subscription and (78)% for professional services) and 70% (78% for subscription and (63)% for professional services), respectively.
For our M&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were 44% (55% for subscription and (25)% for professional services), 41% (55% for subscription and (35)% for professional services) and 48% (63% for subscription and (13)% for professional services), respectively.
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for personnel-related expenses for our technical staff, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. Additional expenses include consulting and professional fees for third-party development resources and software subscriptions. We expect our research and development expenses to gradually decrease as a percentage of revenue. Subsequent costs incurred for the development of future upgrades and enhancements, which are expected to result in additional functionality, may qualify for capitalization under internal-use software and therefore may cause research and development expenses to fluctuate.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs for our sales and marketing functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs, such as sales commissions.
81
Table of Contents
Additional expenses include marketing program costs and amortization of acquired customer relationships intangible assets. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to be relatively stable as a percentage of revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our executive, finance, human resources, information technology, and legal functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses to gradually decrease as a percentage of revenue.
We allocate overhead costs such as rent, utilities, and supplies to all departments based on relative headcount to each operating expense category.
Financial Expenses (Income), Net
Financial expenses (income), net consists of interest expense accrued or paid on our indebtedness, net of interest income earned on our cash balances and marketable securities. Financial expenses (income), net also includes foreign exchange gains and losses and bank fees.
We expect interest expenses to vary each reporting period depending on the amount of outstanding indebtedness and prevailing interest rates.
We expect interest income will vary in each reporting period depending on our average cash and marketable securities balances during the period and applicable interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
We are subject to taxes in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions or countries in which we conduct business. Earnings from our non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may be subject to current U.S. income tax. Due to cumulative losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the extent to which a valuation allowance should be applied against our deferred tax assets. Realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets depends upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Our effective tax rate is affected by tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions, as well as non-deductible expenses, such as share-based compensation, and changes in our valuation allowance.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.7 million or 6% , to $46.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $48.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in compensation expense mainly resulting from the departure of several senior executives whose market-based equity awards were canceled. The cancellation of these equity awards led to a reversal and reduction in stock-based compensation expenses. This decrease was partially offset by the cancellation of the CEO's market-based equity awards, which resulted in an acceleration of expenses, and $1.3 million of unused one-time expense associated with terminating commitments with a cloud hosting service provider.
Restructuring
There were no restructuring expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Financial Expenses (Income), net
Financial income, net decreased by $0.8 million, or 64%, to $0.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was mainly related to lower income attributed to foreign currency translation adjustments, net, partially offset by higher interest income on our marketable securities and money market funds and lower interest expenses on our Credit Facilities (see below).
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes decreased by $1.3 million, or 14%, to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decreased tax liability related to income generated by our subsidiaries organized under the laws of Israel and the United Kingdom.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through net cash provided by operating activities, equity issuances, and borrowings under our long-term debt arrangements. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Our principal sources of liquidity are expected to be our cash on hand and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $25.0 million is available for future borrowings.
We believe that our net cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing needs for at least the next 12 months.
87
Table of Contents
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth, the timing and extent of investments to support such growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, increases in general and administrative costs and many other factors as described under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “—Key Factors Affecting Our Performance.” In addition, our cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits.
In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we will be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all.
If necessary, we may borrow funds under our Revolving Credit Facility to finance our liquidity requirements, subject to customary borrowing conditions. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, the current global economic volatility, rising inflation and interest rates, price increases, decrease in our customers' spend or available budget, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. Our ability to access capital may also be impacted by political, economic, and military conditions in Israel, including the current security situation or any escalation of conflicts with Israel, and in other regions in which we operate, or changes in the business environment in those regions. If we are unable to raise additional funds when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Repurchase Program
On June 11, 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of the Company’s outstanding common stock for up to $5.0 million of the Company’s common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). Under the Repurchase Program, the Company may make repurchases, from time to time, through open market purchases, block trades, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or by other means. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases under this authorization. The volume, timing, and manner of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion, subject to general market conditions, as well as the Company’s management of capital, general business conditions, other investment opportunities, regulatory requirements and other factors. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific amount of common stock, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 2,238,569 shares of common stock at an weighted average price of $1.27 per share (excluding broker and transaction fees of $67,157). As of December 31, 2024, the Company had remaining authorization under the Repurchase Program to repurchase common stock up to an aggregate amount of $2,148,055, subject to satisfying required conditions under the Companies Law and Companies Regulations.
Credit Facilities
In January 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with one of our existing lenders, which provides for a new senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a new senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), which thereafter were extended and amended to align our business needs and other developments. In December 2023, we refinanced all amounts outstanding under the then-existing Credit Agreement, and entered into a new amendment to the credit agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) with an existing lender, which provides for an additional term loan facility of $3.5 million in addition to the existing $31.5 million in term loans outstanding immediately prior to the Fifth Amendment. Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility decreased to $25.0 million.
In July 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement with an existing lender, in connection with our Repurchase Program, which updated the aggregate amount of permitted Restricted Payments (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which term includes, among others, the repurchase of the Company’s outstanding common stock) and conditions for making such payments.
88
Table of Contents
The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to a borrowing base, which is equal to the product of (a) 500% (which will automatically reduce to 350% on the date the Term Loan Facility is repaid in full), multiplied by (b) monthly Recurring Revenue for the most recently ended monthly period, multiplied by (c) the Retention Rate (in each case, as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The Revolving Credit Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit in the aggregate availability amount of $10.0 million and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of $5.0 million, each of which reduces borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest, determined as follows: (a) SOFR loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.10% per annum plus a margin of 2.50% (the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is subject to a 1.00% floor), and (b) ABR loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus a margin of 1.50% (ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, subject to a 2.00% floor). As of December 31, 2024, the current rate of interest under the Credit Facilities was equal to a rate per annum of 6.93%, consisting of 4.33% (the 3-month SOFR rate as of December 31, 2024), 0.10% credit spread adjustment and the margin of 2.50%.
We are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds of any indebtedness incurred by us or any of our subsidiaries other than certain permitted indebtedness. In addition, we are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities with the net cash proceeds of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain limited reinvestment rights.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
All voluntary prepayments (other than ABR loans borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility) must be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid and customary “breakage” costs, if any, with respect to prepayments of SOFR loans.
The Term Loan Facility is payable in consecutive quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to (i) $0.4 million for installments payable on December 31, 2023 (deferred to January 9, 2024), through September 30, 2024 (ii) $0.7 million for installments payable on December 31, 2024 ($0.2 million of the amount deferred to January 2025), through September 30, 2025, (iii) $1.3 million for installments payable on and after December 31, 2025. The remaining unpaid balance on the Term Loan Facility is due and payable on December 21, 2026, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to, but excluding, the payment date.
Our obligations under the Credit Facilities are currently guaranteed by Kaltura Europe Limited, and are required to be guaranteed by all of our future direct and indirect subsidiaries other than certain excluded subsidiaries and immaterial foreign subsidiaries. Our obligations and those of Kaltura Europe Limited are, and the obligations of any future guarantors are required to be, secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our respective assets.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to:
•create, issue, incur, assume, become liable in respect of or suffer to exist any debt or liens;
•consummate any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve, or dispose of all or substantially all of our or their respective property or business;
•dispose of property or, in the case of our subsidiaries, issue or sell any shares of such subsidiary’s capital stock;
•repay, prepay, redeem, purchase, retire or defease subordinated debt;
•declare or pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments;
•make certain investments;
•enter into transactions with affiliates;

Table of Contents
•enter into new lines of business; and
•make certain amendments to our or their respective organizational documents or certain material contracts.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants that require us to maintain (i) a minimum amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (which minimum amount increased through the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024) (the “Adjusted EBITDA Covenant”), and (ii) Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $20 million as of the last day of any calendar month.
On July 22, 2024, we revised the Credit Agreement to modify the definition of “Liquidity” to include certain additional cash and cash equivalents. We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2024.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. In addition, the lenders under the Credit Facilities will be permitted to accelerate all outstanding borrowings and other obligations, terminate outstanding commitments and exercise other specified remedies upon the occurrence of certain events of default (subject to certain grace periods and exceptions), which include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain cross-defaults and cross-accelerations to other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain judgments and Change of Control events (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
As of December 31, 2024, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $25.0 million remains available for future borrowings. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $32.3 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.

(2) Represents the lease payments under our operating leases in the U.S. and Israel. The operating lease payments for our lease in Israel assume our exercise of the first extension option for an additional five years. See Note 7, Leases, to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Table of Contents
(3) Consists of minimum purchase commitments mainly for our use of certain cloud and other services with third-party providers with a term of 12 months or longer. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.
We reported other liabilities of $12.8 million in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024, which principally consists of unrecognized tax benefits. See Note 11, Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information. We have excluded these liabilities from the contractual obligations table above. A variety of factors could affect the timing of payments for the liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such payments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the accounting policies described below require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Judgments or uncertainties affecting the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding these and our other significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We apply judgment in identifying and evaluating terms and conditions in contracts that may impact revenue recognition. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). When applicable, we allocate the transaction price between the separate performance obligations according to their SSP, which is based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the SSP taking into account available information, including, but not limited to, pricing practices, market conditions, and the economic life of the software.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in Israel, the U.S., and other foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes, including evaluating uncertainties in the application of accounting principles and complex tax laws. We recognize and measure benefits for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis, based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits, and effective settlement of audit issues.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
Under the JOBS Act, an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an “emerging growth company” to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different transition dates for public and private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
92
Table of Contents
We meet the definition of an “emerging growth company” and have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (x) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (y) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations contained therein may not be directly comparable to those of other public companies.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and other factors set forth in other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
This section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K discusses our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and year-to-year comparisons between fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022. A discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and year-to-year comparisons between fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed on February 24, 2023
Overview
Our mission is to power any video experience, for any organization. Our Video Experience Cloud powers live, real-time, and on-demand video for webinars, events, virtual classrooms, and video sites. We also offer robust Application Programming Interfaces ("APIs") and industry solutions for education and media and telecom. Our Video Experience Cloud is used by leading brands across all industries, reaching millions of users, at home, at school and at work, for communication, collaboration, marketing, sales, customer care, learning, and entertainment experiences. With our flexible offerings, customers can experience the benefits of video across a wide range of use cases, while customizing their deployments to meet their individual, dynamic needs.
Our business was founded in 2006.
We generate revenue primarily through the sale of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) and Platform-as-a-Service (“PaaS”) subscriptions, and additional revenue from term license subscriptions. We also generate revenue through the sale of professional services associated with the implementation of deployments for new and existing customers.
In August 2022, our Board of Directors approved a strategic restructuring program (the “2022 Restructuring Plan”) to streamline our operations in order to support our investment in critical growth areas. The 2022 Restructuring Plan included, among other things, a workforce reduction of approximately 10% of our employees. In connection with the 2022 Restructuring Plan, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded expenses of $1.2 million, all for one-time employee termination benefits. The 2022 Restructuring Plan was substantially completed in 2022. On January 3, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a re-organization plan (the “2023 Reorganization Plan” and together with the 2022 Restructuring Plan, the “Reorganization Plans”) that included, among other things, downsizing an additional 11% of our workforce and adapting our organizational structure, roles, and responsibilities accordingly. The total accumulated cost reduction from the downsizing in connection with the 2023 Reorganization Plan for 2023 and thereafter on a go-forward annualized basis is expected to be approximately $16 million. The 2023 Reorganization Plan focused on realigning our operations to further increase efficiency and productivity, in reaction to the current macro-economic climate. The 2023 Reorganization Plan's main objectives were to position the Company for lower demand, spend, and available budgets across our market segments, align our business strategy in light of these market conditions and support our growth initiatives and return path to profitability. In connection with the 2023 Reorganization Plan, we incurred pre-tax charges of approximately $1 million as of December 31, 2023.
The 2023 Reorganization Plan was substantially completed in the first half of 2023. See Note 18, Restructuring Activities, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.
We organize our business into two reporting segments: (i) Enterprise, Education, and Technology (“EE&T”); and (ii) Media and Telecom (“M&T”). These segments share a common underlying platform consisting of our API-based architecture, as well as unified product development, operations, and administrative resources.
65
Table of Contents
•Enterprise, Education & Technology: Includes revenue from all of our products, industry solutions for education customers, and Media Services (except for Media and Telecom customers), as well as associated professional services for those offerings. Subscription revenues are primarily generated on a per full-time equivalent basis for on-demand and live products and solutions, per host basis for real-time-conferencing products and solutions, and per participant basis for Events product (which intersects on-demand, live, and real-time-conferencing video). Contracts are generally 12 to 24 months in length. Billing is primarily done on an annual basis.
•Media & Telecom: Includes revenue from our TV Solution and Media Services for media and telecom customers, as well as associated professional services for those offerings. Revenues are generated on a per end-subscriber basis for telecom customers, and on a per video play basis for media customers. Contracts are generally two to five years in length. Billing is generally done on a quarterly or annual basis. It generally takes from six to 12 months to implement M&T offerings. The upfront resources required for implementation of our Media & Telecom solutions generally exceed those of our other offerings, resulting in a longer period from initial booking to go-live and a higher proportion of professional services revenue as a percentage of overall revenue. Additionally, a higher proportion of revenue comes from customers who choose to license our offerings through private cloud and on-premise deployments, which also impacts our gross margin.

We employ a "land and expand" strategy with the aim of having our customers increase their usage of our offerings and/or purchase additional offerings over time. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 100%. We also grew our Annualized Recurring Revenue (as defined below), by 3% in the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, demonstrating our ability to land new customers with higher spending levels and increase revenue from our existing customers.
For any given year, a large majority of our revenue comes from existing customers, with whom we are in active dialogue and tend to have visibility into their expected usage of our offerings.
We focus our selling efforts on large organizations and sell our solutions primarily through direct sales teams and account teams. In addition, we are investing in low-touch and self-serve offerings for smaller customers.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Expansion of our Platform
We believe our platform is ideally suited for expansion across solutions, industries, and use cases. For example, in 2020, we entered the real-time conferencing market with the introduction of our Virtual and Hybrid Events, Webinars, and Online Learning products, focusing on learning, training, events, and marketing. Since then, we expanded the capabilities of our Virtual & Hybrid Events product to support a broader range of event types and use cases, fitted them to also address low-touch and self-serve sales and introduced a set of GenAI powered capabilities that increase the productivity in creating content and setting up events and also foster user engagement. We believe these products present a significant long-term opportunity, and we intend to harness our growing presence with them. Additionally, we will continue to invest in new video products for training, communication and collaboration, sales, marketing, and customer care, as we extend our platform into more industries.
Acquiring New Customers
We are focused on continuing to grow the number of customers that use our solutions. Our focus remains on bringing in new customers from enterprise accounts, as well as expanding our small and medium enterprise ("SME") offerings that can be sold by inside-sales teams. We also continue to provide our self-serve offering that can be purchased completely online, which also serves as a demand generation engine for our low-touch and enterprise offerings. We believe this will enable us to efficiently acquire smaller customers across all industries over time – expanding beyond enterprises into SMEs, beyond universities into K-12 schools, beyond tier 1 media and telecom companies to tier 2 and 3 media and telecom companies, and beyond providing Media Services to large technology companies to also addressing smaller technology firms and startups.
Increasing Revenue from Existing Customers
We are focused on increasing sales within our existing customer base through increased usage of our platform and the cross-selling of additional products and solutions. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 100%. In order for us to increase revenue within our customer base, we will need to maintain engineering-level customer support and continue to introduce new products and features as well as innovative new use cases that are tailored to our customers' needs.
Continued Investment in Growth
Although we have invested significantly in our business to date, we believe that we still have a significant market opportunity ahead of us. We intend to continue to make investments to support the growth and expansion of our business and to increase revenue. We believe there is a significant opportunity to continue our growth. We expect that our cost of revenue and operating expenses will fluctuate over time.
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We measure our business using both financial and operating metrics. We use these metrics to assess the progress of our business, make decisions on where to allocate capital, time, and technology investments, and assess the near-term and long-term performance of our business. The key financial and operating metrics we use are:

Table of Contents
Annualized Recurring Revenue
We use Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR") as a measure of our revenue trend and an indicator of our future revenue opportunity from existing recurring customer contracts. We calculate ARR by annualizing our recurring revenue for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Recurring revenues are generated from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, as well as term licenses for software installed on the customer’s premises (“On-Prem”). For the SaaS and PaaS components, we calculate ARR by annualizing the actual recurring revenue recognized for the latest fiscal quarter. For the On-Prem components for which revenue recognition is not ratable across the license term, we calculate ARR for each contract by dividing the total contract value (excluding professional services) as of the last day of the specified period by the number of days in the contract term and then multiplying by 365. Recurring revenue excludes revenue from one-time professional services and setup fees. ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, or price increases or decreases.
The amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, pending renewals, professional services revenue, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions or divestitures. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue as it is an operating metric and is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of revenue. Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
Our Net Dollar Retention Rate, which we use to measure our success in retaining and growing recurring revenue from our existing customers, compares our recognized recurring revenue from a set of customers across comparable periods. We calculate our Net Dollar Retention Rate for a given period as the recognized recurring revenue from the latest reported fiscal quarter from the set of customers whose revenue existed in the reported fiscal quarter from the prior year (the numerator), divided by recognized recurring revenue from such customers for the same fiscal quarter in the prior year (denominator). For annual periods, we report Net Dollar Retention Rate as the arithmetic average of the Net Dollar Retention Rate for all fiscal quarters included in the period. We consider subdivisions of the same legal entity (for example, divisions of a parent company or separate campuses that are part of the same state university system) to be a single customer for purposes of calculating our Net Dollar Retention Rate. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate for any fiscal period includes the positive recognized recurring revenue impacts of selling new services to existing customers and the negative recognized recurring revenue impacts of contraction and attrition among this set of customers. Our Net Dollar Retention Rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the growing level of our revenue base, the level of penetration within our customer base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our customers. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining Performance Obligations represents the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been delivered, including both subscription and professional services revenues. Remaining Performance Obligations consists of both deferred revenue and contracted non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. As of December 31, 2023, our Remaining Performance Obligations was $185.3 million, which consists of both billed consideration in the amount of $62.7 million and unbilled consideration in the amount of $122.6 million that we expect to invoice and recognize in future periods. We expect to recognize 59% of our Remaining Performance Obligations as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter, in each case, in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating the performance of our business.
We define EBITDA as net profit (loss) before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, gain from sale of property and equipment, facility exit and transition costs, restructuring charges and other non-recurring operating expenses.
68
Table of Contents
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance, is not defined by or presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net profit (loss) or any other performance measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe that it provides useful supplemental information to investors and analysts regarding our operating performance and is frequently used by these parties in evaluating companies in our industry. By presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Additionally, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because it assists us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis between periods, as described above.
Although we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have significant limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations include:
•such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
•although depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, thereby further limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Due to these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment for non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. It is reasonable to expect that this item will occur in future periods. However, we believe this adjustment is appropriate because the amount recognized can vary significantly from period to period, does not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business, and complicates comparisons of our internal operating results between periods and with the operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described above help to provide management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations. Nevertheless, because of the limitations described above, management does not view EBITDA, or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measures, such as revenue, operating loss, and net loss, to measure operating performance.

Subscription
Our revenues are mainly comprised of revenue from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions. SaaS and PaaS subscriptions provide access to our Video Experience Cloud which powers all types of video experiences: live, real-time, and on-demand video. We provide access to our platform either as a cloud-based service, which represent most of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, or, less commonly, as a term license to software installed on the customer's premises. Revenue from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions is recognized ratably over the time of the subscription, beginning from the date on which the customer is granted access to our Video Experience Cloud. Revenue from the sale of a term license is recognized at a point in time in which the license is delivered to the customer. Revenue from post-contract services ("PCS") included in On-Prem deals is recognized ratably over the period of the PCS.
Professional Services
Our revenue also includes professional services, which consist of consulting, integration and customization services, technical solution services and training related to our video experience. In some of our arrangements, professional services are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon rendering of the service.
In some of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, we determined that the professional services are solely set up activities that do not transfer goods or services to the customer and therefore are not accounted for as a separate performance obligation and are recognized ratably over the time of the subscription.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of employee-related costs including payroll, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for operations and customer support teams, costs of cloud hosting providers and other third-party service providers, amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology and allocated overhead costs.
Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel costs of our professional services organization, including payroll, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, allocated overhead costs and other third-party service providers.
The costs associated with providing professional services are significantly higher as a percentage of related revenue than the costs associated with delivering our subscriptions due to the labor costs of providing professional services. As such, the implementation and professional services costs relating to an arrangement with a new customer are more significant than the costs to renew an existing customer’s license and support arrangement.
Cost of revenue increased in absolute dollars from the year ended December 31, 2022 to the year ended December 31, 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our cost of revenue was $62,938 and $61,871, respectively.
Gross Margins
Gross margins have been, and will continue to be, affected by a variety of factors, including the average sales price of our products and services, volume growth, the mix of revenue between SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, software licenses, maintenance and support and professional services, onboarding of new media and telecom customers, hosting of major virtual events and changes in cloud infrastructure and personnel costs. In particular, the gross margins in our M&T segment have been negatively impacted due to the resources required for implementation of our TV Solution and Media Services for TV experiences, which generally exceed those of our other offerings, resulting in a longer period from initial booking to go-live and a higher proportion of professional services revenue as a percentage of overall revenue. Additionally, a higher proportion of revenue comes from customers who choose to license our offerings through private cloud and on-premise deployments, which also impacts our gross margin. In the long-term, we expect the margins for this segment to improve due to the following: expected increase in the ratio of subscription revenue to professional services with scale, improved efficiencies of both production and professional services costs, and an increase in the proportion of revenues from media customers, which generally entail simpler deployments compared to telecom customers. However, in the near and medium term, our gross margins in our M&T segment are expected to vary from period to period based on the onboarding of new customers, as well as the timing and aggregate usage of our solutions by such customers.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our gross margins were 64% (73% for subscription and (51)% for professional services), 63% (74% for subscription and (33)% for professional services) and 62% (72% for subscription and (12)% for professional services), respectively.
For our EE&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were 73% (79% for subscription and (78)% for professional services), 70% (78% for subscription and (63)% for professional services) and 71% (78% for subscription and (5)% for professional services), respectively.
For our M&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were 41% (55% for subscription and (35)% for professional services), 48% (63% for subscription and (13)% for professional services) and 40% (56% for subscription and (19)% for professional services), respectively.
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for personnel-related expenses for our technical staff, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. Additional expenses include consulting and professional fees for third-party development resources and software subscriptions. We expect our research and development expenses to remain constant as a percentage of revenue for the near and medium-term, as we continue to dedicate substantial resources to develop, improve, and expand the functionality of our solutions. Subsequent costs incurred for the development of future upgrades and enhancements, which are expected to result in additional functionality, may qualify for capitalization under internal-use software and therefore may cause research and development expenses to fluctuate.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs for our sales and marketing functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs, such as sales commissions. Additional expenses include marketing program costs and amortization of acquired customer relationships intangible assets. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to be relatively stable on an absolute dollar basis.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our executive, finance, human resources, information technology, and legal functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable both on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue for the near and medium-term, as a combined result of implementation of our Reorganization Plans and focused investment to support our growth.
We allocate overhead costs such as rent, utilities, and supplies to all departments based on relative headcount to each operating expense category.
Financial Expenses (Income), Net
Financial expenses (income), net consists of interest expense accrued or paid on our indebtedness, net of interest income earned on our cash balances and marketable securities. Financial expenses (income), net also includes foreign exchange gains and losses and bank fees.
We expect interest expenses to vary each reporting period depending on the amount of outstanding indebtedness and prevailing interest rates.
We expect interest income will vary in each reporting period depending on our average cash and marketable securities balances during the period and applicable interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes
We are subject to taxes in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions or countries in which we conduct business. Earnings from our non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may be subject to current U.S. income tax. Due to cumulative losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the extent to which a valuation allowance should be applied against our deferred tax assets. Realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets depends upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Our effective tax rate is affected by tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions, as well as non-deductible expenses, such as share-based compensation, and changes in our valuation allowance.

Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased by $1.0 million, or 13%, to $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to increased tax liability related to income generated by our subsidiaries organized under the laws of Israel and the United Kingdom.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through net cash provided by operating activities, equity issuances, and borrowings under our long-term debt arrangements. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Our principal sources of liquidity are expected to be our cash on hand and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2023, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $25.0 million is available for future borrowings.
We believe that our net cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth, the timing and extent of investments to support such growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, increases in general and administrative costs and many other factors as described under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “—Key Factors Affecting Our Performance. In addition, our cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where we maintain our cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that we will be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all.
77
Table of Contents
If necessary, we may borrow funds under our Revolving Credit Facility to finance our liquidity requirements, subject to customary borrowing conditions. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, the current global economic volatility, rising inflation and interest rates, price increases, decrease in our customers' spend or available budget, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. Our ability to access capital may also be impacted by political, economic, and military conditions in Israel, including the current security situation or any escalation of conflicts with Israel, and in other regions in which we operate, or changes in the business environment in those regions. If we are unable to raise additional funds when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Credit Facilities
In January 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with one of our existing lenders, which provides for a new senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a new senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), which thereafter were extended and amended to align our business needs and other developments. In December 2023, we refinanced all amounts outstanding under the then-existing Credit Agreement, and entered into a new amendment to the credit agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”) with an existing lender, which provides for an additional term loan facility of $3.5 million in addition to the existing $31.5 million in term loans outstanding immediately prior to the Fifth Amendment. Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility decreased to $25.0 million.
The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to a borrowing base, which is equal to the product of (a) 500% (which will automatically reduce to 350% on the date the Term Loan Facility is repaid in full), multiplied by (b) monthly Recurring Revenue for the most recently ended monthly period, multiplied by (c) the Retention Rate (in each case, as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit in the aggregate availability amount of $10.0 million and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of $5.0 million, each of which reduces borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest, determined as follows: (a) SOFR loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.10% per annum plus a margin of 2.50% (the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is subject to a 1.00% floor), and (b) ABR loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus a margin of 1.50% (ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, subject to a 2.00% floor). As of December 31, 2023, the current rate of interest under the Credit Facilities was equal to a rate per annum of 7.98%, consisting of 5.32% (the 3-month SOFR rate as of December 31, 2023), 0.10% credit spread adjustment and the margin of 2.50%.
We are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds of any indebtedness incurred by us or any of our subsidiaries other than certain permitted indebtedness. In addition, we are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities with the net cash proceeds of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain limited reinvestment rights.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. All voluntary prepayments (other than ABR loans borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility) must be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid and customary “breakage” costs, if any, with respect to prepayments of SOFR loans.
The Term Loan Facility is payable in consecutive quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to (i) $437,500 for installments payable on December 31, 2023 (deferred to January 9, 2024), through September 30, 2024, (ii) $$656,250 for installments payable on December 31, 2024 through September 30, 2025, and (iii) $1,312,500 for installments payable on and after December 31, 2025. The remaining unpaid balance on the Term Loan Facility is due and payable on December 21, 2026, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to, but excluding, the payment date.

We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2023.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. In addition, the lenders under the Credit Facilities will be permitted to accelerate all outstanding borrowings and other obligations, terminate outstanding commitments and exercise other specified remedies upon the occurrence of certain events of default (subject to certain grace periods and exceptions), which include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain cross-defaults and cross-accelerations to other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain judgments and Change of Control events (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
As of December 31, 2023, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $25.0 million remains available for future borrowings. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $34.7 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to proceeds from long-term loans, net of debt issuance cost of $3.5 million and proceeds from option exercises of $1.4 million, partially offset by $4.5 million of loan repayments.
Net cash used in financing activities of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to $3.0 million of loan repayments and an aggregate outflow of $0.2 million due to principal payment on finance lease and payment of debt issuance costs, offset by proceeds from exercise of stock options of $2.7 million.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

(1) Represents borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2023, together with estimated interest payments thereon based on the interest rates in effect for such indebtedness as of December 31, 2023. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources - Credit Facilities.”
(2) Represents the lease payments under our operating leases in the U.S. and Israel. The operating lease payments for our lease in Israel assume our exercise of the first extension option for an additional five years. See Note 7, Leases, to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
(3) Consists of minimum purchase commitments mainly for our use of certain cloud and other services with third-party providers with a term of 12 months or longer. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.
We reported other liabilities of $7.1 million in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023, which principally consists of unrecognized tax benefits. See Note 11, Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information. We have excluded these liabilities from the contractual obligations table above. A variety of factors could affect the timing of payments for the liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such payments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
81
Table of Contents
We believe that the accounting policies described below require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Judgments or uncertainties affecting the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding these and our other significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We apply judgment in identifying and evaluating terms and conditions in contracts that may impact revenue recognition. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). When applicable, we allocate the transaction price between the separate performance obligations according to their SSP, which is based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the SSP taking into account available information, including, but not limited to, pricing practices, market conditions, and the economic life of the software.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in Israel, the U.S., and other foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes, including evaluating uncertainties in the application of accounting principles and complex tax laws. We recognize and measure benefits for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis, based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits, and effective settlement of audit issues.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
Under the JOBS Act, an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an “emerging growth company” to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different transition dates for public and private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We meet the definition of an “emerging growth company” and have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (x) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (y) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations contained therein may not be directly comparable to those of other public companies.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and other factors set forth in other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
This section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K discusses our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and year-to-year comparisons between fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021. A discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and year-to-year comparisons between fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed on February 25, 2022.
Overview
Our mission is to power any video experience, for any organization. Kaltura's "Video Experience Cloud" powers live, real-time, and on-demand video for virtual and hybrid events, webinars, online learning, and video portals for companies across all industries. We also offer industry-specific video solutions for the Education and Media and Telecom industries. The platform includes an extensive array of Application Programming Interfaces ("APIs") and developers tools that enable developers to build other video workflows, products, industry solutions.
Our products are used by leading brands across all industries, reaching millions of users, at home, at school and at work, for communication, collaboration, virtual and hybrid events, marketing, sales, customer care, learning, and entertainment experiences. With our flexible offerings, customers can experience the benefits of video across a wide range of use cases, while customizing their deployments to meet their individual, dynamic needs.
Our business was founded in 2006.
We generate revenue primarily through the sale of Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) and Platform-as-a-Service (“PaaS”) subscriptions, and additional revenue from term license subscriptions. We also generate revenue through the sale of professional services associated with the implementation of deployments for new and existing customers.
In August 2022, our Board of Directors approved a strategic restructuring program (the “2022 Restructuring Plan”) to streamline our operations in order to support our investment in critical growth areas. The 2022 Restructuring Plan included, among other things, a workforce reduction of approximately 10% of our employees. In connection with the 2022 Restructuring Plan, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded expenses of $1,238, all for one-time employee termination benefits. The 2022 Restructuring Plan was substantially completed in 2022. On January 3, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a re-organization plan (the “2023 Reorganization Plan” and together with the 2022 Restructuring Plan, the “Reorganization Plans”) that included, among other things, downsizing an additional 11% of our workforce and adapting our organizational structure, roles, and responsibilities accordingly. The total cost reduction from the downsizing in connection with the 2023 Reorganization Plan on an annualized basis is expected to be approximately $16 million. The 2023 Reorganization Plan is focused on realigning our operations to further increase efficiency and productivity, in reaction to the current macro-economic climate. The 2023 Reorganization Plan's main objectives are to position the Company for lower demand, spend, and available budgets across our market segments, align our business strategy in light of these market conditions and support our growth initiatives and return path to profitability. In connection with the 2023 Reorganization Plan, we expect to incur pre-tax charges of approximately $1 million, primarily for severance and related costs, all of which are expected to be expensed in the first quarter of 2023. All of these charges are expected to result in cash expenditures.

The 2023 Reorganization Plan is expected to be substantially completed in the first half of 2023. See Note 18, Restructuring Activities, for further information.
We organize our business into two reporting segments: (i) Enterprise, Education, and Technology (“EE&T”); and (ii) Media and Telecom (“M&T”). These segments share a common underlying platform consisting of our API-based architecture, as well as unified product development, operations, and administrative resources.
•Enterprise, Education & Technology: Includes revenue from all of our products, industry solutions for education customers, and Media Services (except for Media and Telecom customers), as well as associated professional services for those offerings. Subscription revenues are primarily generated on a per full-time equivalent basis for on-demand and live products and solutions, per host basis for real-time-conferencing products and solutions, and per participant basis for the Hybrid and Virtual Events product (which intersects on-demand, live, and real-time-conferencing video). Contracts are generally 12 to 36 months in length. Billing is primarily done on an annual basis.
•Media & Telecom: Includes revenue from our Cloud TV, Streaming Platform, and Media Services for media and telecom customers, as well as associated professional services for those offerings. Revenues are generated on a per end-subscriber basis for telecom customers, and on a per video play basis for media customers. Contracts are generally two to five years in length. Billing is generally done on a quarterly or annual basis. It generally takes from six to 12 months to implement M&T offerings. The upfront resources required for implementation of our Media & Telecom solutions generally exceed those of our other offerings, resulting in a longer period from initial booking to go-live and a higher proportion of professional services revenue as a percentage of overall revenue. Additionally, a higher proportion of revenue comes from customers who choose to license our offerings through private cloud and on-premise deployments, which also impacts our gross margin.
Reflected below is a summary of reportable segment revenue and reportable segment gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

We employ a land and expand strategy with the aim of having our customers increase their usage of our offerings and/or purchase additional offerings over time. Our ability to expand within our existing customer base is reflected by our Net Dollar Retention Rate (as defined below). For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 100% and 118%, respectively. We also grew our Annualized Recurring Revenue (as defined below), by 6% in the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, demonstrating our ability to land new customers with higher spending levels and increase revenue from our existing customers.
For any given year, a large majority of our revenue comes from existing customers, with whom we are in active dialogue and tend to have visibility into their expected usage of our offerings.
We focus our selling efforts on large organizations and sell our solutions primarily through direct sales teams and account teams. In addition, we are investing in low-touch and self-serve offerings for smaller customers.

Impact of COVID-19/Macroeconomic Events
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the market demand for our solutions was growing at a robust rate, with numerous tailwinds for long-term growth, and that demand accelerated mainly in 2021 as a result of the pandemic. As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic subsided in 2022 and the worsening economic climate and recession headwinds led to lower demand, we did not see this trend continue in 2022 and do not expect it to continue in 2023. Moreover, due to the worsening economic climate we expect to face lower demand, spend, and available budgets across our market segments, and other adverse effects, although we cannot predict nor fully assess the actual impact, length and depth of such downturn. In order to adapt to these changes, we have adopted the Reorganization Plans as elaborated above, that included, among other things, downsizing our workforce and adapting our organizational structure, roles, and responsibilities accordingly. In particular, the 2023 Reorganization Plan is focused on realigning our operations to further increase efficiency and productivity, in reaction to the current macro-economic climate. As market fluctuations have not yet stabilized, it is not possible at this time to estimate the ultimate impact and results of these developments on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—We may not be able to successfully assess or mitigate the worsening economic climate and its direct and indirect impact on our business and operations, including our customers and vendors, or to correctly predict the duration and depth of the current instability of the global economy and take the right or sufficient measures to address it, and as a result our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be adversely affected” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.”
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Expansion of our Platform
We believe our platform is ideally suited for expansion across solutions, industries, and use cases. For example, in 2020, we entered the real-time conferencing market with the introduction of our Virtual and Hybrid Events, Webinars, and Online Learning products, focusing on learning, training, events, and marketing. In 2021 and 2022 we expanded the capabilities of our Virtual & Hybrid Events product to support a broader range of event types and use cases and fitted them to also address low-touch and self-serve sales. We believe these products present a significant long-term opportunity, and we intend to harness our growing presence with them. Additionally, we will continue to invest in new video products for training, communication and collaboration, sales, marketing, and customer care, as we extend our platform into more industries.
Acquiring New Customers
We are focused on continuing to grow the number of customers that use our solutions. Additionally, we are investing in low-touch and self-serve offerings that can be sold by inside-sales teams or completely online, as well as in distribution channels. We believe this will enable us to efficiently acquire smaller customers across all industries – beyond enterprises into SMEs, beyond universities into K-12 schools, beyond tier 1 media and telecom companies to tier 2 and 3 media and telecom companies, and beyond providing Media Services to large technology companies to also addressing smaller technology firms and startups.
Increasing Revenue from Existing Customers
We are focused on increasing sales within our existing customer base through increased usage of our platform and the cross-selling of additional products and solutions. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 100%. In order for us to increase revenue within our customer base, we will need to maintain engineering-level customer support and continue to introduce new products and features as well as innovative new use cases that are tailored to our customers' needs.
Continued Investment in Growth
Although we have invested significantly in our business to date, we believe that we still have a significant market opportunity ahead of us. We intend to continue to make investments to support the growth and expansion of our business and to increase revenue. We believe there is a significant opportunity to continue our growth. We expect that our cost of revenue and operating expenses will fluctuate over time.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We measure our business using both financial and operating metrics. We use these metrics to assess the progress of our business, make decisions on where to allocate capital, time, and technology investments, and assess the near-term and long-term performance of our business. The key financial and operating metrics we use are:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | |||||||||
| (in thousands) | |||||||||||
| Annualized Recurring Revenue | $ | 159,238 | $ | 150,800 | $ | 116,643 | |||||
| Net Dollar Retention Rate | 100 | % | 118 | % | 107 | % | |||||
| Remaining Performance Obligations | $ | 171,660 | $ | 185,484 | $ | 140,955 |
Annualized Recurring Revenue
We use Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR") as a measure of our revenue trend and an indicator of our future revenue opportunity from existing recurring customer contracts. We calculate ARR by annualizing our recurring revenue for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Recurring revenues are generated from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, as well as term licenses for software installed on the customer’s premises (“On-Prem”). For the SaaS and PaaS components, we calculate ARR by annualizing the actual recurring revenue recognized for the latest fiscal quarter. For the On-Prem components for which revenue recognition is not ratable across the license term, we calculate ARR for each contract by dividing the total contract value (excluding professional services) as of the last day of the specified period by the number of days in the contract term and then multiplying by 365. Recurring revenue excludes revenue from one-time professional services and setup fees. ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, or price increases or decreases.
The amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, pending renewals, professional services revenue, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions or divestitures. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue as it is an operating metric and is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of revenue. Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
Our Net Dollar Retention Rate, which we use to measure our success in retaining and growing recurring revenue from our existing customers, compares our recognized recurring revenue from a set of customers across comparable periods. We calculate our Net Dollar Retention Rate for a given period as the recognized recurring revenue from the latest reported fiscal quarter from the set of customers whose revenue existed in the reported fiscal quarter from the prior year (the numerator), divided by recognized recurring revenue from such customers for the same fiscal quarter in the prior year (denominator). For annual periods, we report Net Dollar Retention Rate as the arithmetic average of the Net Dollar Retention Rate for all fiscal quarters included in the period. We consider subdivisions of the same legal entity (for example, divisions of a parent company or separate campuses that are part of the same state university system) to be a single customer for purposes of calculating our Net Dollar Retention Rate. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate for any fiscal period includes the positive recognized recurring revenue impacts of selling new services to existing customers and the negative recognized recurring revenue impacts of contraction and attrition among this set of customers. Our Net Dollar Retention Rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the growing level of our revenue base, the level of penetration within our customer base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our customers. Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining Performance Obligations represents the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been delivered, including both subscription and professional services revenues. Remaining Performance Obligations consists of both deferred revenue and contracted non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. As of December 31, 2022, our Remaining Performance Obligations was $171.7 million, which consists of both billed consideration in the amount of $61.1 million and unbilled consideration in the amount of $110.6 million that we expect to invoice and recognize in future periods. We expect to recognize 60% of our Remaining Performance Obligations as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter, in each case, in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating the performance of our business.
We define EBITDA as net profit (loss) before interest expense, net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, abandonment costs, gain from sale of property and equipment, facility exit and transition costs, restructuring charges and other non-recurring operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance, is not defined by or presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net profit (loss) or any other performance measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe that it provides useful supplemental information to investors and analysts regarding our operating performance and is frequently used by these parties in evaluating companies in our industry. By presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We believe that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Additionally, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because it assists us in comparing the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis between periods, as described above.
Although we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as described above, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have significant limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations include:
•such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
•although depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, thereby further limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Due to these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment for non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. It is reasonable to expect that this item will occur in future periods. However, we believe this adjustment is appropriate because the amount recognized can vary significantly from period to period, does not directly relate to the ongoing operations of our business, and complicates comparisons of our internal operating results between periods and with the operating results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described above help to provide management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations. Nevertheless, because of the limitations described above, management does not view EBITDA, or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measures, such as revenue, operating loss, and net loss, to measure operating performance.
The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net loss:

Revenue
Subscription
Our revenues are mainly comprised of revenue from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions. SaaS and PaaS subscriptions provide access to our Video Experience Cloud which powers all types of video experiences: live, real-time, and on-demand video. We provide access to our platform either as a cloud-based service, which represent most of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, or, less commonly, as a term license to software installed on the customer's premises. Revenue from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions is recognized ratably over the time of the subscription, beginning from the date on which the customer is granted access to our Video Experience Cloud. Revenue from the sale of a term license is recognized at a point in time in which the license is delivered to the customer. Revenue from post-contract services ("PCS") included in On-Prem deals is recognized ratably over the period of the PCS.

Table of Contents
Professional Services
Our revenue also includes professional services, which consist of consulting, integration and customization services, technical solution services and training related to our video experience. In some of our arrangements, professional services are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon rendering of the service.
In some of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, we determined that the professional services are solely set up activities that do not transfer goods or services to the customer and therefore are not accounted for as a separate performance obligation and are recognized ratably over the time of the subscription.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of employee-related costs including payroll, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for operations and customer support teams, costs of cloud hosting providers and other third-party service providers, amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology and allocated overhead costs.
Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel costs of our professional services organization, including payroll, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, allocated overhead costs and other third-party service providers.
The costs associated with providing professional services are significantly higher as a percentage of related revenue than the costs associated with delivering our subscriptions due to the labor costs of providing professional services. As such, the implementation and professional services costs relating to an arrangement with a new customer are more significant than the costs to renew an existing customer’s license and support arrangement.
Cost of revenue decreased in absolute dollars from the year ended December 31, 2021 to the year ended December 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, our cost of revenue was $61,871 and $62,314, respectively.
Gross Margins
Gross margins have been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including the average sales price of our products and services, volume growth, the mix of revenue between SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, software licenses, maintenance and support and professional services, onboarding of new media and telecom customers, hosting of major virtual events and changes in cloud infrastructure and personnel costs.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, our gross margins were 63% (74% for subscription and (33)% for professional services), 62% (72% for subscription and (12)% for professional services) and 60% (73% for subscription and (17)% for professional services), respectively.
For our EE&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were 70% (78% for subscription and (63)% for professional services), 71% (78% for subscription and (5)% for professional services) and 73% (81% for subscription and (33)% for professional services), respectively.
For our M&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were 48% (63% for subscription and (13)% for professional services), 40% (56% for subscription and (19)% for professional services) and 36% (51% for subscription and (8)% for professional services), respectively.
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for personnel-related expenses for our technical staff, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. Additional expenses include consulting and professional fees for third-party development resources and software subscriptions. We expect our research and development expenses to decrease in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue for the near and medium-term, as we implement our Reorganization Plans, improving efficiency and productivity while further dedicating substantial resources to develop, improve, and expand the functionality of our solutions. Subsequent costs incurred for the development of future upgrades and enhancements, which are expected to result in additional functionality, may qualify for capitalization under internal-use software and therefore may cause research and development expenses to fluctuate.

Table of Contents
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel related costs for our sales and marketing functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. Additional expenses include marketing program costs and amortization of acquired customer relationships intangible assets. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to decrease both on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue for the near and medium-term, as we implement our Reorganization Plans, improving efficiency and productivity while we continue our focused investment to support our growth.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs for our executive, finance, human resources, information technology, and legal functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. We expect our general and administrative expenses to be relatively stable both on an absolute dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue for the near and medium-term, as a combined result of implementation of our Reorganization Plans and focused investment to support our growth.
We allocate overhead costs such as rent, utilities, and supplies to all departments based on relative headcount to each operating expense category.
Financial Expenses, Net
Financial expenses, net consists of interest expense accrued or paid on our indebtedness and the change in the fair value of warrants to purchase our preferred and common stock in the comparative period, net of interest income earned on our cash balances and marketable securities. Financial expenses, net also includes foreign exchange gains and losses and bank fees. We expect interest expenses to vary each reporting period depending on the amount of outstanding indebtedness and prevailing interest rates.
We expect interest income will vary in each reporting period depending on our average cash and marketable securities balances during the period and applicable interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
We are subject to taxes in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions or countries in which we conduct business. Earnings from our non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may be subject to current U.S. income tax. Due to cumulative losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the extent to which a valuation allowance should be applied against our deferred tax assets. Realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets depends upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Our effective tax rate is affected by tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions, as well as non-deductible expenses, such as share-based compensation, and changes in our valuation allowance.

Media & Telecom Revenue
M&T revenue increased by $2.5 million, or 6%, to $48.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $46.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is mainly attributable to a $1.4 million increase in revenue from existing customers and a $1.1 million increase in revenue from new customers. The increase in revenue from existing customers also embodies an approximate revenue reduction of $2.5 million as a result of currency headwinds that occurred during the year.
M&T subscription revenue increased by $2.8 million, or 8%, to $38.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $36.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase is mainly attributable to a $0.5 million increase related to new customers, and a $2.3 million increase from existing customers. The increase in M&T subscription revenue from existing customers also embodies an approximate revenue reduction of $2.1 million as a result of currency headwinds that occurred during the year.
M&T professional services revenue decreased by $0.3 million, or 3%, to $9.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The increase in gross margin was attributable primarily to improvement in production costs and higher efficiency of our operations teams leading to lower compensation costs as a percentage of revenue.
M&T subscription gross profit increased by $4.0 million, or 19%, to $24.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses were $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, and mainly related to the forgiveness of loans to certain of our directors and executive officers immediately prior to the public filing of the registration statement for our IPO, including related tax gross-up amounts payable by us to such directors and executive officers. We did not incur other operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Financial Expenses, net
Financial expenses, net decreased by $15.9 million, or 79%, to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $15.0 million remeasurement of warrants to fair value recorded in the year ended December 31, 2021, $1.0 million interest income associated with our investments, and $0.7 million lower interest expense due to repayment of our Revolving Credit Facility during December 2021 and principal repayments.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased by $1.3 million, or 20%, to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to increased tax liability related to income generated by our subsidiaries organized under the laws of Israel and the United Kingdom.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through net cash provided by operating activities, equity issuances, and borrowings under our long-term debt arrangements. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Our principal sources of liquidity are expected to be our cash on hand and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility. During December 2021, we repaid in full the outstanding principal balance under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $35.0 million is available for future borrowings.
We believe that our net cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth, the timing and extent of investments to support such growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, increases in general and administrative costs and many other factors as described under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “—Key Factors Affecting Our Performance.”
If necessary, we may borrow funds under our Revolving Credit Facility to finance our liquidity requirements, subject to customary borrowing conditions. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however, such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, the widespread pandemic related to COVID-19 and its variants, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and rising inflation and interest rates have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Credit Facilities
In January 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with one of our existing lenders, which provides for a new senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a new senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). In June 2021, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to, among other things, increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to $35.0 million, and make certain other changes to certain covenants and definitions. The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to a borrowing base, which is equal to the product of (a) 800% (which will automatically reduce to 350% on the date the Term Loan Facility is repaid in full), multiplied by (b) monthly Recurring Revenue for the most recently ended monthly period, multiplied by (c) the Retention Rate (in each case, as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit in the aggregate availability amount of $10.0 million and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of $5.0 million, each of which reduces borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Facilities are subject to interest, determined as follows: (a) Eurodollar loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar rate determined for such day plus a margin of 3.50% (the Eurodollar rate is calculated as described in the Credit Agreement, subject to a 1.00% floor, divided by 1.00 minus the maximum effective reserve percentage for Eurocurrency funding), and (b) Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus a margin of 2.50% (ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, subject to a 2.00% floor). In addition to paying interest on the principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee under the Revolving Credit Facility on unused amounts at a rate of 0.25% per annum. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit and agency fees.
We are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds of any indebtedness incurred by us or any of our subsidiaries other than certain permitted indebtedness. In addition, we are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities with the net cash proceeds of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain limited reinvestment rights.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities may be voluntarily prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. All voluntary prepayments (other than ABR loans borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility) must be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid and customary “breakage” costs, if any, with respect to prepayments of Eurodollar loans.
The Term Loan Facility is payable in consecutive quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to (x) $250,000 for installments payable on March 31, 2021 through December 31, 2021, (y) $750,000 for installments payable on March 31, 2022 through December 31, 2022, and (z) $1.5 million for installments payable on and after March 31, 2023. The remaining unpaid balance on the Term Loan Facility is due and payable on January 14, 2024, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to, but excluding, the payment date. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility do not amortize and are due and payable on January 14, 2024.
Our obligations under the Credit Facilities are currently guaranteed by Kaltura Europe Limited, and are required to be guaranteed by all of our future direct and indirect subsidiaries other than certain excluded subsidiaries and immaterial foreign subsidiaries. Our obligations and those of Kaltura Europe Limited are, and the obligations of any future guarantors are required to be, secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our respective assets.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to:
•create, issue, incur, assume, become liable in respect of or suffer to exist any debt or liens;
•consummate any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve, or dispose of all or substantially all of our or their respective property or business;
•dispose of property or, in the case of our subsidiaries, issue or sell any shares of such subsidiary’s capital stock;
•repay, prepay, redeem, purchase, retire or defease subordinated debt;
•declare or pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments;

•make certain investments;
•enter into transactions with affiliates;
•enter into new lines of business; and
•make certain amendments to our or their respective organizational documents or certain material contracts.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants that require us to maintain (i) a minimum amount of Annualized Recurring Revenue (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (which minimum amount increases through the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023) (the “ARR Covenant”), and (ii) Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $10 million as of the last day of any calendar month. We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2022.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. In addition, the lenders under the Credit Facilities will be permitted to accelerate all outstanding borrowings and other obligations, terminate outstanding commitments and exercise other specified remedies upon the occurrence of certain events of default (subject to certain grace periods and exceptions), which include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain cross-defaults and cross-accelerations to other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain judgments and Change of Control events. “Change of Control” is defined as (a) any “person” or “group” (as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becoming the beneficial owner of 40% or more of the ordinary voting power for the election of our directors, (b) during any 24-month period, a majority of the members of our board of directors ceasing to be composed of individuals (i) who were members thereof on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination thereto was approved by individuals referred to in the foregoing clause constituting at least a majority of such board, or (iii) whose election or nomination thereto was approved by individuals referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) constituting at least a majority of such board; or (c) at any time, if we cease to own and control 100% of each class of outstanding capital stock of each guarantor free and clear of all liens (other than certain permitted liens).
In December 2021, we repaid in full the outstanding principal balance under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $35.0 million remains available for future borrowings. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $35.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.

Operating Activities
Net cash flows used in operating activities increased by $24.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.
Net cash used in operating activities of $46.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, was primarily due to $68.5 million in incremental net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges of $37.3 million, and net cash of $17.0 million due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of depreciation and amortization of $2.7 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $23.6 million and amortization of deferred contract acquisitions and fulfillment costs of $10.9 million. The main drivers of net cash outflows that were derived from the changes in operating assets and liabilities were related to an increase in trade receivables of $11.3 million, addition to deferred contract acquisition costs of $11.6 million, an aggregate decrease in employees accruals, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $3.8 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.4 million, offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $7.5 million and an increase in trade payables of $3.1 million.
Net cash used in operating activities of $22.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, was primarily due to $59.4 million in incremental net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges of $43.1 million, and net cash of $5.8 million due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of remeasurement of warrants to fair value of $15.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.4 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $17.1 million and amortization of deferred contract acquisitions and fulfillment costs of $8.1 million. The main drivers of net cash outflows that were derived from the changes in operating assets and liabilities were related to an increase in deferred revenue of $6.3 million and an aggregate increase in employees accruals, trade payables and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $10.0 million, partially offset by an addition to deferred contract acquisition costs of $18.1 million, an increase in trade receivables of $1.1 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.3 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $44.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities of $49.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 was related to investment in available-for-sale marketable securities of $60.2 million, $4.8 million of capitalized internal use software, investment in restricted bank deposits of $2.6 million, and $1.2 million in capital expenditures, offset by sales and maturities of available-for-sale marketable securities of $19.0 million.
Net cash used in investing activities of $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 was related to $4.0 million of capitalized internal use software, $1.9 million in capital expenditures, and $0.1 million in purchases of intangible assets, partially offset by proceeds of $0.8 million from the sale of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities increased by $143.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.
Net cash used in financing activities of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to $3.0 million of loan repayments and an aggregate outflow of $0.2 million due to principal payment on finance lease and payment of debt issuance costs, offset by proceeds from exercise of stock options of $2.7 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $143.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to proceeds from our IPO, net of underwriter discounts and commissions of $160.4 million, proceeds from long term loans of $41.9 million, and $1.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of options by employees, offset by $51.8 million of loan repayments, deferred offering costs of $5.2 million, a $1.6 million payment associated with the conversion of Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock, and principal payments of finance lease liabilities of $1.7 million.

(1) Represents borrowings outstanding under our Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2022, together with estimated interest payments thereon based on the interest rates in effect for such indebtedness as of December 31, 2022. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources - Credit Facilities.”
(2) Represents the lease payments under our operating leases in the U.S. and Israel. The operating lease payments for our lease in Israel assume our exercise of the first extension option for an additional five years. See Note 7 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
(3) Consists of minimum purchase commitments mainly for our use of certain cloud and other services with third-party providers with a term of 12 months or longer. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.
We reported other liabilities of $5.3 million in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022, which principally consists of unrecognized tax benefits (see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). We have excluded these liabilities from the contractual obligations table above. A variety of factors could affect the timing of payments for the liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such payments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the accounting policies described below require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Judgments or uncertainties affecting the application of these policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Accordingly, we believe these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding these and our other significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We apply judgment in identifying and evaluating terms and conditions in contracts that may impact revenue recognition. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). When applicable, we allocate the transaction price between the separate performance obligations according to their SSP, which is based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the SSP taking into account available information, including, but not limited to, pricing practices, market conditions, and the economic life of the software.

Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in Israel, the U.S., and other foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes, including evaluating uncertainties in the application of accounting principles and complex tax laws. We recognize and measure benefits for uncertain tax positions using a two-step approach. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis, based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits, and effective settlement of audit issues.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
Under the JOBS Act, an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an “emerging growth company” to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different transition dates for public and private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We meet the definition of an “emerging growth company” and have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until the earlier of the date we (x) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (y) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations contained therein may not be directly comparable to those of other public companies.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs
involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and other factors set forth in
other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
Our mission is to power any video experience, for any organization.
Our Video Experience Cloud powers live, real-time, and on-demand video for webinars, events, virtual classrooms, and video sites. We also
offer robust Application Programming Interfaces ("APIs") and Software Development Kits ("SDKs") for developers and industry solutions
for education and media and telecom. Our Video Experience Cloud is used by leading brands across all industries, reaching millions of
users, at home, at school and at work, for communication, collaboration, marketing, sales, customer care, learning, and entertainment
experiences. With our flexible offerings, customers can experience the benefits of video across a wide range of use cases, while customizing
their deployments to meet their individual, dynamic needs.
Our business was founded in 2006. We launched our Media Services
and Video Content Management System in 2008 and initially offered it as an Online Video Platform for online publishers and media companies.
Since then, we have capitalized on our flexible and extendable platform architecture to expand into new products, industry solutions,
and use cases:

We generate revenue primarily through the sale of SaaS and PaaS
subscriptions, and additional revenue from term license subscriptions. We also generate revenue through the sale of professional services
associated with the implementation of deployments for new and existing customers.
We organize our business into two reporting segments: (i) Enterprise,
Education, and Technology (“EE&T”); and (ii) Media and Telecom (“M&T”). These segments share a common
underlying platform consisting of our API-based architecture, as well as unified product development, operations, and administrative resources.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Enterprise, Education & Technology: Includes revenues from all of our products, industry solutions for education customers, and Media Services (except for media and telecom customers), as well as associated professional services for those offerings. These solutions are generally sold through our EE&T sales teams. Subscription revenues are primarily generated on a per full-time equivalent basis for on-demand and live products and solutions, per host basis for real-time-conferencing products and solutions, and per participant basis for the Events product (which intersects on-demand, live, and real-time-conferencing video). Contracts are generally 12 to 24 months in length. Billing is primarily done on an annual basis. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Media & Telecom: Includes revenues from our TV Solution and Media Services for media and telecom customers, as well as associated professional services for those offerings. These offerings are generally sold through our media and telecom sales team. Revenues are generated on a per end-subscriber basis for telecom customers, and on a per video play basis for media customers. Contracts are generally two to five years in length. Billing is generally done on a quarterly or annual basis. It generally takes from six to 12 months to implement M&T offerings. The upfront resources required for implementation of our Media & Telecom solutions generally exceed those of our other offerings, resulting in a longer period from initial booking to go-live and a higher proportion of professional services revenue as a percentage of overall revenue. Additionally, a higher proportion of revenue comes from customers who choose to license our offerings through private cloud and on-premise deployments, which also impacts our gross margin. In the long-term, we expect the margins for this segment to improve due to the following: increasing the ratio of subscription revenue to professional services with scale, improved efficiencies of both production and professional services costs, and an increase in the proportion of revenues from media customers, which generally entail simpler deployments compared to telecom customers. |
Reflected below is a summary of reportable segment revenue and
reportable segment gross profit for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Our consolidated financial statements have been restated. See Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements included in our prospectus
dated July 20, 2021. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities
Act on July 22, 2021 (the “Prospectus”) in connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”).

We benefit from a land and expand strategy in which our customers
increase their usage of our offerings and/or purchase additional offerings over time. Our ability to expand within our existing customer
base is demonstrated by our Net Dollar Retention Rate (as defined below). For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, our Net Dollar
Retention Rate was 118% and 107%, respectively. We also grew our average annualized recurring revenue, or ARR, per customer by 29% in
the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020, demonstrating our ability to land new
customers with higher spending levels and increase revenue from our existing customers.
For any given year, a large majority of our revenue comes from
existing customers, with whom we are in active dialogue and tend to have visibility into their expected usage of our offerings.
We focus our selling efforts on large organizations and sell
our solutions primarily through direct sales teams and account teams. We currently have four direct sales teams, grouped by offering type
and target customers, and we leverage reseller relationships globally to help market and sell our products to customers worldwide, especially
in areas in which we have a limited presence. We are investing in initiatives to more efficiently reach new customers and expand our partnerships
with existing ones. For example, we have launched the option to purchase our Webinars, Virtual Classroom, and Media Services offerings
directly from our website, allowing us to reduce our cost of customer acquisition, drive additional opportunities to our direct sales
team, reach smaller customers, and broaden our target market.
Impact of COVID-19
In December 2019, an outbreak of the COVID-19 disease was first
identified and began to spread across the globe. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, impacting
many countries around the world, including where our end users and customers are located and the United States, Israel, United Kingdom,
and Singapore where we have larger business operations. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, government authorities around the world
have ordered schools and businesses to close, imposed restrictions on non-essential activities, and required people to remain at home
while instilling significant limitations on traveling and social gatherings.
In response to the pandemic, in the first quarter of 2020, we
temporarily closed all of our offices, enabled our entire work force to work remotely, and implemented travel restrictions for non-essential
business. In the second quarter of 2020 we reopened select offices, however most of our employees continued to work remotely, a majority
of whom continue to do so as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The changes we have implemented to date have not materially
affected and are not expected to materially affect our ability to operate our business, including our financial reporting systems.
In the second quarter of 2020, we experienced an increase in
usage as people spent more time working and learning remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby increasing demand from new and existing
customers for our offerings and contributing to an acceleration in our revenue growth when compared to prior periods. However, in some
cases because the agreements for certain of our solutions, primarily in education, do not limit usage or increase pricing for usage in
excess of a specified amount, the additional usage that we experienced in 2020 did not result in a corresponding increase in revenue.
Additionally, in order to meet the needs of our customers in 2020, we accelerated our existing plans to move from our own data centers
to public cloud infrastructure in order to provide required stability, reliability, scalability, and elasticity.
Prior to the pandemic, the market demand for our solutions was
growing at a robust rate, with numerous tailwinds for long-term growth, and that demand accelerated as a result of the pandemic. We believe
that new and potential customers will continue to increase their use of video solutions across existing use cases such as remote working,
teaching, marketing, and customer care, as well as nascent but growing use cases such as tele-services.
While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration
of, any pandemic, epidemic, or outbreak of an infectious disease, including COVID-19 and its variants, is difficult to assess or predict,
the widespread pandemic related to COVID-19 and its variants has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of
global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity.
For additional information, see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk
Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.”

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Expansion of our Platform
We believe our platform is ideally suited for expansion across
solutions, industries, and use cases. We have demonstrated this over time with the expansion of our platform across products, industry
solutions, and use cases. For example, in 2020, we entered the real-time conferencing market with the introduction of our Webinars, Meetings,
and Virtual Classroom products, focusing on learning, training, and marketing. In 2021, we expanded the capabilities of our Events product
to support a broader range of event types and use cases. We believe these products present a significant long-term opportunity, and we
intend to harness our growing presence with them. Additionally, we will continue to invest in new video products for training, communication
and collaboration, sales, marketing, and customer care, as we extend our platform into more industries. Following the success of our Media
& Telecom and education solutions, we intend to launch solutions for industries such as healthcare and financial services, among others.
We also intend to enhance our Media Services offerings with additional core capabilities and invest in areas such as content creation,
personalization and interactivity, content aggregation and syndication, AI, and smart monetization. We also intend to add these capabilities
into our existing and new products and industry solutions. Our results of operations may reflect sustained high levels of investments
to drive increased customer adoption and usage.
Acquiring New Customers
We are focused on continuing to grow the number of customers
that use our solutions. While over the last several years we have not materially increased our sales and marketing spend or number of
direct sales representatives, we have started to increase our investment in sales and marketing in order to grow our customer base going
forward. We intend to grow our base of field sales representatives and customer success managers, which we believe will drive both geographic
and vertical expansion. Additionally, we are investing in inside sales and self-serve offerings and distribution channels. We believe
this will enable us to efficiently acquire smaller customers across all industries – beyond enterprises into SMEs, beyond universities
into K-12 schools, beyond tier 1 media and telecom companies to tier 2 and 3 media and telecom companies, and beyond providing Media Services
to large technology companies to also addressing smaller technology firms and startups.
Increasing Revenue from Existing Customers
We believe we have the opportunity to increase sales within our
existing customer base through increased usage of our platform and the cross-selling of additional products and solutions. For the year
ended December 31, 2021, our Net Dollar Retention Rate was 118%, demonstrating our ability to expand within our existing customer base.
In order for us to continue to increase revenue within our customer base, we will need to maintain engineering-level customer support
and continue to introduce new products and features as well as innovative new use cases that are tailored to our customers' needs.
Continued Investment in Growth
Although we have invested significantly in our business to date,
we believe that we still have a significant market opportunity ahead of us. We intend to continue to make investments to support the growth
and expansion of our business, to increase revenue, and to further scale our operations. We believe there is a significant opportunity
to continue our growth. We plan to open offices internationally, hire sales and marketing employees in additional countries, and expand
our presence in countries where we already operate. We expect to incur additional expenses as we expand to support this growth. Further,
we expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses in connection with our transition to being a public company. We expect
that our cost of revenue and operating expenses will fluctuate over time.
73
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We measure our business using both financial and operating metrics.
We use these metrics to assess the progress of our business, make decisions on where to allocate capital, time, and technology investments,
and assess the near-term and long-term performance of our business. The key financial and operating metrics we use are:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| (in thousands) | ||||||||
| Annualized Recurring Revenue | $ | 150,800 | $ | 116,643 | ||||
| Net Dollar Retention Rate | 118 | % | 107 | % | ||||
| Remaining Performance Obligations | $ | 185,484 | $ | 140,955 |
Annualized Recurring Revenue
We use Annualized Recurring Revenue as a measure of our revenue
trend and an indicator of our future revenue opportunity from existing recurring customer contracts. We calculate ARR by annualizing our
recurring revenue for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Recurring revenues are generated from SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, as
well as term licenses for software installed on the customer’s premises (“On-Prem”). For the SaaS and PaaS components,
we calculate ARR by annualizing the actual recurring revenue recognized for the latest fiscal quarter. For the On-Prem components for
which revenue recognition is not ratable across the license term, we calculate ARR for each contract by dividing the total contract value
(excluding professional services) as of the last day of the specified period by the number of days in the contract term and then multiplying
by 365. Recurring revenue excludes revenue from one-time professional services and setup fees. ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any
known or projected future customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, or price increases or decreases.
The amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period
is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations,
upgrades or downgrades, pending renewals, professional services revenue, foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions or divestitures.
ARR should be viewed independently of revenue as it is an operating metric and is not intended to be a replacement or forecast of revenue.
Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Net Dollar Retention Rate
Our Net Dollar Retention Rate, which we use to measure our success
in retaining and growing recurring revenue from our existing customers, compares our recognized recurring revenue from a set of customers
across comparable periods. We calculate our Net Dollar Retention Rate for a given period as the recognized recurring revenue from the
latest reported fiscal quarter from the set of customers whose revenue existed in the reported fiscal quarter from the prior year (the
numerator), divided by recognized recurring revenue from such customers for the same fiscal quarter in the prior year (denominator). For
annual periods, we report Net Dollar Retention Rate as the arithmetic average of the Net Dollar Retention Rate for all fiscal quarters
included in the period. We consider subdivisions of the same legal entity (for example, divisions of a parent company or separate campuses
that are part of the same state university system) to be a single customer for purposes of calculating our Net Dollar Retention Rate.
Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate for any fiscal period includes the positive recognized recurring revenue impacts of selling
new services to existing customers and the negative recognized recurring revenue impacts of contraction and attrition among this set of
customers. Our Net Dollar Retention Rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the growing level of our revenue
base, the level of penetration within our customer base, expansion of products and features, and our ability to retain our customers.
Our calculation of Net Dollar Retention Rate may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining Performance Obligations represents the amount of contracted
future revenue that has not yet been delivered, including both subscription and professional services revenues. Remaining Performance
Obligations consists of both deferred revenue and contracted non-cancelable amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods.
As of December 31, 2021, our Remaining Performance Obligations was $185.5 million, which consists of both billed consideration in the
amount of $53.6 million and unbilled consideration in the amount of $131.9 million that we expect to invoice and recognize in future periods.
We expect to recognize 57% of our Remaining Performance Obligations as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter,
in each case, in accordance with our revenue recognition policy.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP,
we believe that Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in evaluating the performance of our business.
We define EBITDA as net profit (loss) before interest expense,
net, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), adjusted
for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, such as non-cash
stock-based compensation expenses, abandonment costs, gain from sale of property and equipment, and other operating expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance,
is not defined by or presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net profit (loss)
or any other performance measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe that it provides useful
supplemental information to investors and analysts regarding our operating performance and is frequently used by these parties in evaluating
companies in our industry. By presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between periods
by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. We believe that investors’ understanding
of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of
operations. Additionally, our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because it assists us in comparing
the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis between periods, as described above.
Although we use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as described above,
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, have significant limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations include:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | such measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | such measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | although depreciation and amortization expense and non-cash stock-based compensation expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, thereby further limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. |
75
Due to these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not
be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations
by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment
for non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. It is reasonable to expect that this item will occur in future periods. However, we believe
this adjustment is appropriate because the amount recognized can vary significantly from period to period, does not directly relate to
the ongoing operations of our business, and complicates comparisons of our internal operating results between periods and with the operating
results of other companies over time. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described above help to provide management
with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day operations. Nevertheless,
because of the limitations described above, management does not view EBITDA, or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and also uses other measures,
such as revenue, operating loss, and net loss, to measure operating performance.
The following table reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to
the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net loss:

Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Subscriptions
Our revenues are mainly comprised of revenue from SaaS and PaaS
subscriptions. SaaS and PaaS subscriptions provide access to our Video Experience Cloud which powers all types of video experiences: live,
real-time, and on-demand video. We provide access to our platform either as a cloud-based service, which represent most of our SaaS and
PaaS subscriptions, or, less commonly, as a term license to software installed on the customer's premises. Revenue from SaaS and PaaS
subscriptions is recognized ratably over the time of the subscription, beginning from the date on which the customer is granted access
to our Video Experience Cloud. Revenue from the sale of a term license is recognized at a point in time in which the license is delivered
to the customer. Revenue from post-contract services ("PCS") included in On-Prem deals is recognized ratably over the period of the PCS.
Professional Services
Our revenue also includes professional services, which consist
of consulting, integration and customization services, technical solution services and training related to our video experience. In some
of our arrangements, professional services are accounted for as a separate performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon rendering
of the service.
In some of our SaaS and PaaS subscriptions, we determined
that the professional services are solely set up activities that do not transfer goods or services to the customer and therefore are not
accounted for as a separate performance obligation and are recognized ratably over the time of the subscription.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of subscription revenue consists primarily of employee-related
costs including payroll, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for operations and customer support teams, costs of cloud hosting
providers and other third-party service providers, amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology and
allocated overhead costs.
Cost of professional services consists primarily of personnel
costs of our professional services organization, including payroll, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, allocated overhead
costs and other third-party service providers.
The costs associated with providing professional services are
significantly higher as a percentage of related revenue than the costs associated with delivering our subscriptions due to the labor costs
of providing professional services. As such, the implementation and professional services costs relating to an arrangement with a new
customer are more significant than the costs to renew an existing customer’s license and support arrangement.
Cost of revenue increased in absolute dollars from the year ended
December 31, 2020 to 2021. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, our cost of revenue was $62,314 and $47,665, respectively.
Gross Margins
Gross margins have been and will continue to be affected by a
variety of factors, including the average sales price of our products and services, volume growth, the mix of revenue between SaaS and
PaaS subscriptions, software licenses, maintenance and support and professional services, onboarding of new media and telecom customers,
hosting of major virtual events and changes in cloud infrastructure and personnel costs. In particular, the gross margins in our M&T
segment are negatively impacted due to the resources required for implementation of our TV Solution and Media Services for TV experiences,
which generally exceed those of our other offerings, resulting in a longer period from initial booking to go-live and a higher proportion
of professional services revenue as a percentage of overall revenue. Additionally, a higher proportion of revenue comes from customers
who choose to license our offerings through private cloud and on-premise deployments, which also impacts our gross margin. In the long-term,
we expect the margins for this segment to improve due to the following: increasing the ratio of subscription revenue to professional services
with scale, improved efficiencies of both production and professional services costs, and an increase in the proportion of revenues from
media customers, which generally entail simpler deployments compared to telecom customers. However, in the near and medium term, our gross
margins in our M&T segment will vary from period to period based on the onboarding of new customers, as well as the timing and aggregate
usage of our solutions by such customers.
77
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, our gross
margins were 62% (72% for subscriptions and (12)% for professional services) and 60% (73% for subscriptions and (17)% for professional
services), respectively.
For our EE&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2020 were 71% (78% for subscriptions and (5)% for professional services) and 73% (81% for subscriptions and (33)% for professional
services), respectively.
For our M&T segment, gross margins for the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2020 were 40% (56% for subscriptions and (19)% for professional services) and 36% (51% for subscriptions and (8)% for professional
services), respectively.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and continuing through
the third quarter, we experienced an increase in usage as people spent more time working and learning remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
thereby increasing demand from new and existing customers for our offerings and contributing to an acceleration in our revenue growth
when compared to prior periods. However, in some cases because the agreements for certain of our solutions, primarily in education, do
not limit usage or increase pricing for usage in excess of a specified amount, the additional usage that we experienced in 2020 did not
result in a corresponding increase in revenue. Additionally, in order to meet the needs of our customers in 2020, we accelerated our existing
plans to move from our own data centers to public cloud infrastructure in order to provide required stability, reliability, scalability,
and elasticity. The combination of the increase in usage for certain of our solutions as described above, along with the migration from
our own data centers to public cloud infrastructure, contributed to a decrease in gross margins in 2020 to 60% from 63% in 2019.
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs
incurred for personnel-related expenses for our technical staff, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. Additional
expenses include consulting and professional fees for third-party development resources. We expect our research and development expenses
to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to dedicate substantial resources to develop, improve, and expand
the functionality of our solutions. We also anticipate that research and development expenses will increase as a percentage of revenue
in the near and medium-term. Subsequent costs incurred for the development of future upgrades and enhancements, which are expected to
result in additional functionality, may qualify for capitalization under internal-use software and therefore may cause research and development
expenses to fluctuate.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel
related costs for our sales and marketing functions, including salaries and other direct personnel-related costs. Additional expenses
include marketing program costs and amortization of acquired customer relationships intangible assets. We expect our sales and marketing
expenses will increase on an absolute dollar basis for the foreseeable future as we continue to increase investments to support our growth.
We also anticipate that sales and marketing expenses will increase as a percentage of revenue in the near and medium-term.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of
personnel-related costs for our executive, finance, human resources, information technology, and legal functions, including salaries and
other direct personnel-related costs. We expect general and administrative expense to increase on an absolute dollar basis for the foreseeable
future as we continue to increase investments to support our growth and as a result of our becoming a public company. We also anticipate
that general and administrative expenses will increase as a percentage of revenue in the near and medium-term.
We allocate overhead costs such as rent, utilities, and supplies
to all departments based on relative headcount to each operating expense category.
Financial Expenses, Net
Financial expenses, net consists of interest expense accrued
or paid on our indebtedness and the change in the fair value of warrants to purchase the Company’s preferred and common stock, net
of interest income earned on our cash balances. Financial expenses, net also includes foreign exchange gains and losses. We expect interest
expenses to vary each reporting period depending on the amount of outstanding indebtedness and prevailing interest rates.
78
We expect interest income will vary in each reporting period
depending on our average cash balances during the period and applicable interest rates.
Upon the closing of our IPO, warrants to purchase preferred and
common stock were converted to common stock and therefore, no fair value remeasurements are expected with respect to such warrants in
future periods.
Refer to Note 12 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the impact resulting from the remeasurement of the warrants
prior to conversion.
Provision for Income Taxes
We are subject to taxes in the United States as well as other
tax jurisdictions or countries in which we conduct business. Earnings from our non-U.S. activities are subject to local country
income tax and may be subject to current U.S. income tax. Due to cumulative losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred
tax assets. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the extent to which a valuation allowance should
be applied against our deferred tax assets. Realization of our U.S. deferred tax assets depends upon future earnings, the timing and amount
of which are uncertain. Our effective tax rate is affected by tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amounts of income we
earn in those jurisdictions, as well as non-deductible expenses, such as share-based compensation, and changes in our valuation
allowance.

$84.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $58.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was mainly
due to a $38.5 million increase in revenue, offset in part by a 2% decrease in gross margin to 71% for the year ended December 31, 2021
from 73% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in gross margin was attributable primarily to an increase in cloud-related

M&T gross profit increased by $4.3 million, or 30%, to $18.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was mainly due to
a $6.1 million increase in revenue, and a 4% increase in gross margin to 40% for the year ended December 31, 2021 from 36% for the year
ended December 31, 2020. The increase in gross margin was attributable primarily to the increased proportion of subscription revenue of
total Media & Telecom revenue, improvement in production costs and higher efficiency of our operations teams leading to lower compensation
costs as a percentage of revenue.

General and administrative expenses increased by $17.3
million or 78%, to $39.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase
was primarily due to a $15.4 million increase in compensation related to higher headcount and increased stock-based compensation expenses.
The increase was partially offset by $4.0 million due to a one-time expense related to the abandonment of data center equipment during
the year ended December 31, 2020, and a $0.8 million one-time gain from the sale of such data center equipment during the year ended December
31, 2021.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses were $1.7 million during the year ended
December 31, 2021, and mainly related to the forgiveness of loans to certain of our directors and executive officers immediately prior
to the public filing of the registration statement for our IPO, including related tax gross-up amounts payable by us to such directors
and executive officers. We did not incur other operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Financial Expenses, net
Financial expenses, net decreased by $26.6 million, or 57%, to
$20.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily
due to a $26.5 million remeasurement of warrants to fair value.
Provision for Income
Taxes
Provision for income taxes increased by $3.0 million, or 85%,
to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to increased
tax liability related to income generated by our subsidiaries organized under the laws of Israel and the United Kingdom.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily
through net cash provided by operating activities, equity issuances, and borrowings under our long-term debt arrangements. Our primary
requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. Our principal
sources of liquidity are expected to be our cash on hand and borrowings available under our Revolving Credit Facility. During December
2021, we repaid in full the outstanding principal balance under our Revolving Credit Facility. Therefore, as of December 31, 2021
we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $35.0 million is available for
future borrowings.
83
We believe that our net cash provided by operating activities,
cash on hand, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our operating, investing, and financing needs
for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth, the timing
and extent of investments to support such growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, increases in general and administrative
costs and many other factors as described under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “—Key Factors Affecting Our
Performance.”
If necessary, we may borrow funds under our Revolving Credit
Facility to finance our liquidity requirements, subject to customary borrowing conditions. To the extent additional funds are necessary
to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through
the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds; however,
such financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. In particular, the widespread pandemic related to COVID-19 and
its variants has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability
to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
Credit Facilities
In January 2021, we entered into a new credit agreement (as amended,
the “Credit Agreement”) with one of our existing lenders, which provides for a new senior secured term loan facility in the
aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a new senior secured revolving credit facility
in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility,
the “Credit Facilities”). In June 2021, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”)
to, among other things, increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility to $35.0 million, and make certain other changes to certain
covenants and definitions. The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to a borrowing base,
which is equal to the product of (a) 800% (which will automatically reduce to 350% on the date the Term Loan Facility is repaid in full),
multiplied by (b) monthly Recurring Revenue for the most recently ended monthly period, multiplied by (c) the Retention Rate (in each
case, as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility includes a sub-facility for letters of credit in the aggregate
availability amount of $10.0 million and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of $5.0 million, each of which
reduces borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Facilities are subject to interest,
determined as follows: (a) Eurodollar loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar rate determined for such day plus
a margin of 3.50% (the Eurodollar rate is calculated as described in the Credit Agreement, subject to a 1.00% floor, divided by 1.00 minus
the maximum effective reserve percentage for Eurocurrency funding), and (b) Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) loans accrue interest
at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus a margin of 2.50% (ABR is equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate and (ii) the Federal Funds
Effective Rate plus 0.50%, subject to a 2.00% floor). In addition to paying interest on the principal amounts outstanding under the Credit
Facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee under the Revolving Credit Facility on unused amounts at a rate of 0.25% per annum.
We are also required to pay customary letter of credit and agency fees.
We are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Term
Loan Facility with 100% of the net cash proceeds of any indebtedness incurred by us or any of our subsidiaries other than certain permitted
indebtedness. In addition, we are required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities with the net cash proceeds of any
Asset Sale or Recovery Event (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain limited reinvestment rights.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities may be voluntarily
prepaid at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. All voluntary prepayments (other than ABR
loans borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility) must be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid
and customary “breakage” costs, if any, with respect to prepayments of Eurodollar loans.
The Term Loan Facility is payable in consecutive quarterly installments
on the last day of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to (x) $250,000 for installments payable on March 31, 2021 through December 31,
2021, (y) $750,000 for installments payable on March 31, 2022 through December 31, 2022, and (z) $1.5 million for installments payable
on and after March 31, 2023. The remaining unpaid balance on the Term Loan Facility is due and payable on January 14, 2024, together with
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to, but excluding, the payment date. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility do not amortize and are due and payable on January 14, 2024.
84
Our obligations under the Credit Facilities are currently guaranteed
by Kaltura Europe Limited, and are required to be guaranteed by all of our future direct and indirect subsidiaries other than certain
excluded subsidiaries and immaterial foreign subsidiaries. Our obligations and those of Kaltura Europe Limited are, and the obligations
of any future guarantors are required to be, secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our respective assets.
The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among
other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | create, issue, incur, assume, become liable in respect of or suffer to exist any debt or liens; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | consummate any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve, or dispose of all or substantially all of our or their respective property or business; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | dispose of property or, in the case of our subsidiaries, issue or sell any shares of such subsidiary’s capital stock; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | repay, prepay, redeem, purchase, retire or defease subordinated debt; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | declare or pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | make certain investments; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | enter into transactions with affiliates; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | enter into new lines of business; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | make certain amendments to our or their respective organizational documents or certain material contracts. |
The Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants
that require us to maintain (i) a minimum amount of Annualized Recurring Revenue (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day
of each fiscal quarter (which minimum amount increases through the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023) (the “ARR Covenant”),
and (ii) Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $10 million as of the last day of any calendar month. We were
in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2021.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary representations
and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. In addition, the lenders under the Credit Facilities will
be permitted to accelerate all outstanding borrowings and other obligations, terminate outstanding commitments and exercise other specified
remedies upon the occurrence of certain events of default (subject to certain grace periods and exceptions), which include, among other
things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, certain cross-defaults and cross-accelerations
to other indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain judgments and Change of Control events. “Change of Control”
is defined as (a) any “person” or “group” (as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becoming
the beneficial owner of 40% or more of the ordinary voting power for the election of our directors, (b) during any 24-month period, a
majority of the members of our board of directors ceasing to be composed of individuals (i) who were members thereof on the first day
of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination thereto was approved by individuals referred to in the foregoing clause constituting
at least a majority of such board, or (iii) whose election or nomination thereto was approved by individuals referred to in the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii) constituting at least a majority of such board; or (c) at any time, if we cease to own and control 100% of each class
of outstanding capital stock of each guarantor free and clear of all liens (other than certain permitted liens).
85
In December 2021, we repaid in full the outstanding principal
balance under our Revolving Credit Facility. Therefore, as of December 31, 2021, we had no balance outstanding under the Revolving
Credit Facility and the total revolving commitment of $35.0 million remains available for future borrowings.
Initial Public Offering
On July 23, 2021, in connection with our IPO, we issued and sold
15,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $10.00 per share. On August 6, 2021, the underwriters in the IPO exercised
in full their option to purchase an additional 2,250,000 shares of our common stock at the offering price of $10.00 per share. The transactions
resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $155.6 million, after deducting the underwriting discount, commissions, and offering expenses
payable by us.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period | $ | 144,371 | $ | 28,355 |
Net cash flows used in operating activities increased by
$27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in operating activities of $22.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2021, was primarily due to $59.4 million in incremental net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges of $43.1 million,
and net cash of $5.8 million due to changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of remeasurement
of warrants to fair value of $15.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.4 million, stock-based compensation expenses of $17.1
million and amortization of deferred contract acquisitions and fulfillment costs of $8.1 million. The main drivers of net cash outflows
were derived from the changes in operating assets and liabilities and were related to an increase in deferred revenue of $6.3 million
and an aggregate increase in employees accruals, trade payables and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $10.0 million, partially
offset by an addition to deferred contract acquisition costs of $18.1 million, an increase in trade receivables of $1.1 million and an
increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $2.3 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $5.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 2020, was primarily due to $58.8 million in incremental net loss, adjusted for non-cash charges of $58.8 million,
and net cash inflows of $5.8 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted
of remeasurement of warrants to fair value of $41.5 million, depreciation, amortization and abandonment costs of $7.7 million, stock-based
compensation expenses of $5.1 million and amortization of deferred contract acquisition and fulfillment costs of $4.2 million. The main
drivers of net cash inflows were derived from the changes in operating assets and liabilities and were related to an increase in deferred
revenue of $12.3 million and an aggregate increase in employees accruals, trade payables and accrued expenses and other liabilities of
$13.5 million, partially offset by an addition to deferred contract acquisition costs of $12.9 million, an increase in trade receivables
of $6.3 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.9 million.
86
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $2.5
million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.
Net cash used in investing activities of $5.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2021 was related to $4.0 million of capitalized internal use software, $1.9 million in capital expenditures, and
$0.1 million in purchases of intangible assets, partially offset by proceeds of $0.8 million from the sale of property and equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities of $2.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020, was related to capitalized internal-use software of $1.8 million, capital expenditures of $1.1 million,
and a purchase of intangible assets of $0.2 million, partially offset by net cash acquired in a business combination of $0.4 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities increased by
$145.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $143.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to proceeds from our IPO, net of underwriter discounts and commissions of $160.4 million,
proceeds from long term loans of $41.9 million, and $1.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of options by employees, offset by $51.8
million of loan repayments, deferred offering costs of $5.2 million, a $1.6 million payment associated with the conversion of Series F
redeemable convertible preferred stock, and principal payments of finance lease liabilities of $1.7 million.
Net cash used in financing activities of $1.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020, was primarily related to repayment of finance lease liabilities of $2.4 million, $1.7 million loan repayments
and payments of deferred offering costs of $0.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from long-term loans of $2.0 million and proceeds
from exercise of stock options of $0.3 million.

We reported other liabilities of $4.5 million in our consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 2021, which principally consists of unrecognized tax benefits (see Note 14 to our consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). We have excluded these liabilities from the contractual obligations
table above. A variety of factors could affect the timing of payments for the liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore,
we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such payments.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes. Our management believes that the estimates, judgment and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information
available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the accounting policies described below require
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Judgments or uncertainties affecting the application of these policies
may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Accordingly, we believe
these are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. See Note 2
to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding
these and our other significant accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of promised
goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We apply
judgment in identifying and evaluating terms and conditions in contracts that may impact revenue recognition. Contracts that contain multiple
performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling
price (“SSP”). When applicable, we allocate the transaction price between the separate performance obligations according to
their SSP, which is based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past
transactions, we estimate the SSP taking into account available information, including, but not limited to, pricing practices, market
conditions, and the economic life of the software.
1 Represents borrowings
outstanding under our Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2021, together with estimated interest payments thereon based on the interest
rates in effect for such indebtedness as of December 31, 2021. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities.”
2 Represents minimum lease
payments under our non-cancelable operating leases for certain real property and equipment. The amounts include future payments under
our new lease of office space in New York, NY. See Note 10 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
3 Represents minimum lease
payments under capital leases.
4 Consists of minimum purchase
commitments mainly for our use of certain cloud and other services with third-party providers with a term of 12 months or longer. Obligations
under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.
88
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in Israel, the U.S., and other
foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes, including evaluating uncertainties
in the application of accounting principles and complex tax laws. We recognize and measure benefits for uncertain tax positions using
a two-step approach. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination,
including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure
a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements.
We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis, based upon a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances,
changes in tax law, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits, and effective settlement of audit issues.
Common Stock Valuation
Prior to the IPO, the fair value of common stock was determined
by our board of directors, with input from management, and taking into account the most recent valuation from an independent third-party
valuation specialist. These valuations were determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Accounting and Valuation Guide: Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The assumptions
we used in the valuation models were based on future expectations combined with management judgment. Numerous objective and subjective
factors were considered in the determination of the fair value of our common stock as of the date of each option grant, including the
following factors:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | contemporaneous valuations performed at periodic intervals by an independent third-party specialist; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | the likelihood and timing of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | the liquidation preferences, rights, and privileges of our preferred stocks relative to our common stock; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | the nature and history of our business; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | the general economic conditions and our industry outlook; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | our overall financial condition; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | our earning capacity; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | our dividend history; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | the existence of goodwill or other intangible value within our business; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | the prior sales of interests in the business and the size of the interest being valued; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | the market price of equity interest in companies engaged in the same or a similar lines of business; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | adjustments necessary to recognize a lack of marketability of the common stock. |
In valuing our common stock, absent an arm’s-length current/recent
round of financing, the fair value of our business, or equity value, was determined using both the income approach and market approach.
The income approach estimates value based on the expectation
of future cash flows that the company will generate. These future cash flows are discounted to their present values using a discount rate
based on the capital rates of return for comparable publicly traded companies and are adjusted to reflect the risks inherent in the Company’s
cash flows relative to those inherent in the companies utilized in the discount rate calculation.
89
The market approach estimates value based on a comparison of
the company to comparable public companies in a similar line of business. From the comparable companies, representative market value multiples
are determined and then applied to the Company’s financial results to estimate the Company’s value.
The resulting equity value was then allocated to each share class
using an Option Pricing Model (“OPM”). Under the OPM, preferred and common stock are treated as a series of call options,
with the preferred stocks having an exercise price based on the liquidation preference of the respective preferred share. The OPM operates
through a series of Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing models, with the exercise prices of the options representing the upper and lower
bounds of the proceed ranges that a security holder would receive upon a liquidity event. The strike prices occur at break points where
the allocation of firm value changes among the various security holders. The common stock are presumed to have value only if funds available
for distribution to shareholders exceed the value of the respective liquidation preferences at the time of a liquidity event.
Beginning in July 2016, we used a hybrid approach whereby we
used an OPM to model the proceeds to the various shares, options, and warrants in case of a sale. As preferred shares convert to common
shares in case of an initial public offering, we used a fully-diluted share analysis, taking into account in-the-money options and warrants,
to model the proceeds to the various securities in case of an initial public offering. In each period, we estimated the likelihood of
a liquidity event taking the form of an initial public offering rather than a sale and weighted the results of the two analyses accordingly.
Beginning in June 2019, we continued using a hybrid approach
with a separate analysis for an initial public offering exit and sale exit. For the initial public offering analysis, we built a separate
OPM, assuming the conversion of preferred shares and using breakpoints that reflected the expected exercise of options and warrants.
For each valuation date, after the common stock value was determined,
a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) was applied to arrive at the fair value of the common stock on a non-marketable
basis. A DLOM is applied in order to reflect the lack of a recognized market for a closely held interest and the fact that a non-controlling
equity interest may not be readily transferable. A market participant purchasing this share would recognize this illiquidity associated
with the shares, which would reduce the overall fair value. The discount for lack of marketability was determined using a put option as
a proxy for measuring discounts for lack of marketability of securities.
We also considered any secondary transactions involving our capital
shares. In our evaluation of those transactions, we considered the facts and circumstances of each transaction to determine the extent
to which they represented a fair value exchange. Factors considered include:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | transaction volume; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | proximity in time to other transactions as well as the valuation date; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | frequency of similar transactions; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | whether the transactions occurred between willing and unrelated parties; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | whether the transactions involved parties with sufficient access to our financial; information from which to make an informed decision on price. |
Application of these approaches involves the use of estimates,
judgments, and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses, future
cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies, and the probability of possible future events. Changes
in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between those assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation
date and may have a material impact on the valuation of our common stock.
90
On December 24, 2020, our board of directors awarded options
to purchase shares of our common stock (the “December 2020 Awards”). However, in light of the difference between the estimated
price range for our IPO and the fair value used for these stock options, in order to determine the appropriate stock-based compensation
expense for these stock options for financial reporting purposes, we re-evaluated our initial estimate of the fair value of our common
stock. As a result of our re-evaluation, we determined that, solely for financial reporting purposes, the fair value of our common stock
was higher than the fair value of our common stock determined in good faith by our board of directors for the December 2020 Awards. We
determined the fair value per share of our common stock for financial reporting purposes was $7.79 and $7.16 as of December 31, 2020 and
December 24, 2020, respectively.
As our common stock is now publicly traded, we rely on the closing
price of our common stock as reported on the date of grant to determine the fair value of our common stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements.
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012
Under the JOBS Act, an “emerging growth company”
can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an “emerging
growth company” to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different transition dates for public and
private companies until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We meet the definition of an “emerging growth
company” and have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until the
earlier of the date we (x) are no longer an emerging growth company, or (y) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition
period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations contained therein
may not be directly comparable to those of other public companies.
