Item 2. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. 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 under Part I—Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in other parts of this Quarterly Report. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

Sprout Social is a powerful, centralized platform that provides the critical business layer to unlock the massive commercial value of social media. We have made it increasingly easy to standardize on Sprout Social as the centralized system of record for social and to help customers maximize the value of this mission critical channel. Currently, tens of thousands of customers across more than 100 countries rely on our platform.

Introduced in 2011, our cloud software brings together social messaging, data and workflows in a unified system of record, intelligence and action. Operating across major networks, including X (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google, Reddit, Glassdoor and YouTube, and commerce platforms Facebook Shops, Shopify and WooCommerce, we provide organizations with a centralized platform to manage their social media efforts across stakeholders and business functions. Virtually every aspect of business has been impacted by social media, from marketing, sales, commerce and public relations to customer service, product and strategy, creating a need for an entirely new category of software. We offer our customers a centralized, secure and powerful platform to manage this broad, complex channel effectively across their organization.

We generate revenue primarily from subscriptions to our social media management platform under a software-as-a-service model. Our subscriptions can range from monthly to one-year or multi-year arrangements and are generally non-cancellable during the contractual subscription term. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date the product is made available to customers, which typically begins on the commencement date of each contract. We also generate revenue from professional services related to our platform provided to certain customers, which is generally recognized at the time these services are provided to the customer. This revenue has historically represented less than 1% of our revenue and is expected to be immaterial for the foreseeable future.

Our tiered subscription-based model allows our customers to choose among four core plans to meet their needs. Each plan is licensed on a per user per month basis at prices dependent on the level of features offered. Additional product modules, which offer increased functionality depending on a customer’s needs, can be purchased by the customer on a per user per month basis.

We generated revenue of $121.5 million and $109.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, representing growth of 11%. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, software subscriptions contributed 99% of our revenue.

We generated net losses of $6.3 million and $11.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which included stock-based compensation expense of $18.1 million and $19.8 million, respectively. We expect to continue investing in the growth of our business and, as a result, generate net losses for the foreseeable future.

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions

23

As a company with a global footprint, we are subject to risks and exposures caused by significant events and their macroeconomic impacts, including, but not limited to, geopolitical instability and uncertainty, fluctuations in inflation, interest rates and currency exchange rates, volatility in the capital markets, tariffs and trade tensions, and related market uncertainty. We continuously monitor the direct and indirect impacts, and the potential for future impacts, of these circumstances on our business and financial results, as well as the overall global economy and geopolitical landscape.

Our current and prospective customers are impacted by these macroeconomic conditions to varying degrees. Potentially as a result of these various macroeconomic impacts on our current and prospective customers, we periodically have experienced more measured buying behavior by current and prospective customers and lengthening of the average sales cycle for certain types of customers and sales (including sales to prospective customers and expansion sales to current customers), which have contributed to a slowdown in our revenue growth as compared to historical levels. We believe macroeconomic uncertainty could persist, and as a result, we expect that some or all of these negative trends may emerge or recur during future quarters.

Acquisition of NewsWhip Group Holdings Limited

On July 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding voting shares of NewsWhip Group Holdings Limited (“NewsWhip”). NewsWhip’s proprietary real-time media monitoring and predictive analytics provide insights into emerging trends and narratives, and allowed us to enter the public relations and crisis monitoring space. Consideration for the acquisition of NewsWhip consisted of an upfront cash payment of $52.3 million, subject to adjustment for cash, indebtedness and working capital, deferred consideration of $3.2 million and up to $10.0 million of an earnout, which is contingent upon NewsWhip’s achievement of financial performance metrics through June 30, 2027. We funded the upfront cash payment with cash on hand and $32 million of borrowings under the Facility (as defined below). Refer to Note 11 - “Business Combinations” of the Notes to the Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) for further discussion.

The purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition was based on a preliminary valuation and is subject to revision as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed become available. We expect to finalize the allocation of the purchase consideration as soon as practicable, pending any other adjustments to acquired assets or liabilities, but no later than 12 months from the acquisition date. We have included the financial results of NewsWhip in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The impact of NewsWhip’s financial results following the date of acquisition were not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Acquiring new customers

We are focused on continuing to organically grow our customer base by increasing demand for our platform and penetrating our addressable market. Our growth strategy includes an increased focus on the larger enterprise market. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, while our total number of customers decreased, our number of customers contributing $30,000 or more in annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) and $50,000 or more in ARR increased. In addition, as we continue to focus on expanding our enterprise customer base, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience longer and more expansive average sale cycles and increased pricing pressure, which may be exacerbated by the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors described above. We expect these trends to continue as we remain focused on our most sophisticated prospects and customers.

24

Expanding within our current customer base

We believe that there is a substantial opportunity for organic growth within our existing customer base. Customers often begin by purchasing a small number of user subscriptions and then expand over time, increasing the number of users or social profiles, as well as purchasing additional product modules. Customers may then expand use-cases between various departments to drive collaboration across their organizations. Our sales and customer success efforts include encouraging organizations to expand use-cases to more fully realize the value from the broader adoption of our platform throughout an organization. We intend to continue to invest in enhancing awareness of our brand, creating additional uses for our products and developing more products, features and functionality of existing products, which we believe are vital to achieving increased adoption of our platform. In recent years, we have increased our focus on expanding our customers’ use of our platform over time.

Sustaining product and technology innovation

Our success is dependent on our ability to sustain product and technology innovation and maintain the competitive advantage of our proprietary technology. We continue to invest resources to enhance the capabilities of our platform by introducing new products, features and functionality of existing products, either through acquisition or internal development.

International expansion

We see international expansion as a meaningful opportunity to grow our platform. Revenue generated from non-U.S. customers during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately 26% of our total revenue. We have teams in Ireland, Canada, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia, the Philippines and Poland to support our growth internationally. We believe global demand for our platform and offerings will continue to increase as awareness of our platform in international markets grows. We will continue supporting our international operations and will evaluate opportunities to invest in local sales, customer support and customer success resources in select markets as appropriate.

Key Business Metrics

We review the following key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

For purposes of the below metrics, we define ARR as the annualized revenue run-rate of subscription agreements from all customers as of the last date of the specified period, and we define a customer as a unique account, multiple accounts containing a common non-personal email domain, or multiple accounts governed by a single agreement or entity. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the metrics below include NewsWhip customers.

Number of customers contributing $30,000 or more in ARR

We define number of customers contributing $30,000 or more in ARR as those on a paid subscription plan that had $30,000 or more in ARR as of a period end.

We view the number of customers that contribute $30,000 or more in ARR as a measure of our ability to scale with our customers and attract larger organizations. We believe this represents potential for future growth, including expanding within our current customer base. Over time, larger customers have constituted a greater share of our revenue.

Acquisition of Tagger Media, Inc.

On August 2, 2023, we completed our acquisition of all the outstanding equity of Tagger Media, Inc. (“Tagger”), for a total purchase consideration of $144 million.

Acquisition of Repustate, Inc.

On January 19, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Repustate, Inc. for a total purchase consideration of $8.3 million, consisting of approximately $6.8 million in cash paid at the closing time of the acquisition and a holdback of $1.5 million in cash to be paid as purchase consideration after the one-year anniversary of the closing of the acquisition, assuming no claims by the Company against the holdback amount for post-closing purchase price adjustments or indemnification matters. The purchase price holdback was paid in full in January 2024.

The fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The allocation of fair value of purchase consideration was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Acquiring new customers

We are focused on continuing to organically grow our customer base by increasing demand for our platform and penetrating our addressable market. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, heavily in expanding our sales force and marketing efforts to acquire new customers. Currently, we have tens of thousands of customers. For the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, while our total number of customers decreased, our number of customers contributing $30,000 or more in annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) and $50,000 or more in ARR increased. In addition, as we continue to focus on expanding our enterprise customer base, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience longer and more expansive average sale cycles and increased pricing pressure, which may be exacerbated by the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors described above. We expect these trends to continue as we remain focused on our most sophisticated prospects and customers.

Expanding within our current customer base

We believe that there is a substantial opportunity for organic growth within our existing customer base. Customers often begin by purchasing a small number of user subscriptions and then expand over time, increasing the number of users or social profiles, as well as purchasing additional product modules. Customers may then expand use-cases between various departments to drive collaboration across their organizations. Our sales and customer success efforts include encouraging organizations to expand use-cases to more fully realize the value from the broader adoption of our platform throughout an organization. We intend to continue to invest in enhancing awareness of our brand, creating additional uses for our products and developing more products, features and functionality of existing products, which we believe are vital to achieving increased adoption of our platform. In recent years, we have increased our focus on expanding our customers’ use of our platform over time.

We use dollar-based net retention rate to evaluate the long-term value of our customer relationships, because we believe this metric reflects our ability to retain and expand subscription revenue

71

generated from our existing customers. Our dollar-based net retention rate for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 100% and 104%, respectively. Our dollar-based net retention rate excluding our SMB customers for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 102% and 108%, respectively.

We calculate dollar-based net retention rate by dividing the ARR from our customers as of December 31st in the reported year by the ARR from those same customers as of December 31st in the previous year. This calculation is net of upsells, contraction, cancellation or expansion during the period but excludes ARR from new customers.

Sustaining product and technology innovation

Our success is dependent on our ability to sustain product and technology innovation and maintain the competitive advantage of our proprietary technology. We continue to invest resources to enhance the capabilities of our platform by introducing new products, features and functionality of existing products, either through acquisition or internal development.

International expansion

We see international expansion as a meaningful opportunity to grow our platform. Revenue generated from non-U.S. customers during the year ended December 31, 2025 was approximately 26% of our total revenue. We have teams in Ireland, Canada, the United Kingdom, Singapore, India, Australia, the Philippines and Poland to support our growth internationally. We believe global demand for our platform and offerings will continue to increase as awareness of our platform in international markets grows. We plan to continue adding to our local sales, customer support and customer success teams in select international markets over time.

Key Business Metrics

We review the following key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

For purposes of the below metrics, we define ARR as the annualized revenue run-rate of subscription agreements from all customers as of the last date of the specified period, and we define a customer as a unique account, multiple accounts containing a common non-personal email domain, or multiple accounts governed by a single agreement or entity. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the metrics below include NewsWhip customers.

Number of customers contributing $30,000 or more in ARR

We define customers contributing $30,000 or more in ARR as those on a paid subscription plan that had $30,000 or more in ARR as of a period end.

We view the number of customers that contribute $30,000 or more in ARR as a measure of our ability to scale with our customers and attract larger organizations. We believe this represents potential for future growth, including expanding within our current customer base. Over time, larger customers have constituted a greater share of our revenue.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2025, we replaced our disclosure of customers with ARR of $10,000 or more with customers with ARR of $30,000 or more. We believe this metric better reflects our

strategic focus on larger customers and aligns with how management evaluates performance and allocates resources.

Number of customers contributing $50,000 or more in ARR

We define customers contributing $50,000 or more in ARR as those on a paid subscription plan that had $50,000 or more in ARR as of a period end.

We view the number of customers that contribute $50,000 or more in ARR as a measure of our ability to scale with our largest customers and attract more sophisticated organizations. We believe this represents potential for future growth, including expanding within our current customer base. Over time, our largest customers have constituted a greater share of our revenue.

Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue

Subscription

We generate revenue primarily from subscriptions to our social media management platform under a software-as-a-service model. Our subscriptions can range from monthly to one-year or multi-year arrangements and are generally non-cancellable during the contractual subscription term. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date our product is made available to customers, which typically begins on the commencement date of each contract. Our customers do not have the right to take possession of the online software solution. We also generate a small portion of our subscription revenue from third-party resellers.

Professional Services

We sell professional services consisting of, but not limited to, implementation fees, specialized training, one-time reporting services and recurring periodic reporting services. Professional services revenue is generally recognized at the time these services are provided to the customer. This revenue has historically represented less than 1% of our revenue and is expected to be immaterial for the foreseeable future.

Cost of Revenue

Subscription

Cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses related to hosting our platform and providing support to our customers. These expenses comprise fees paid to data providers, hosted data center costs and personnel costs directly associated with cloud infrastructure, customer success and customer support, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and allocated overhead. These costs also include depreciation expense and amortization expense related to acquired developed technologies that directly benefit sales. Overhead associated with facilities and information technology is allocated to cost of revenue and operating expenses based on headcount. Although we expect our cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars as our business and revenue grows, we expect it to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over time.

73

Professional Services and Other

Cost of professional services primarily consists of expenses related to our professional services organization and comprise personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses and allocated overhead.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross margin is calculated as gross profit as a percentage of total revenue. Our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period based on revenue earned, the timing and amount of investments made to expand our hosting capacity, our customer support and professional services teams and in hiring additional personnel, and the impact of acquisitions. We expect our gross profit and gross margin to increase as our business grows over time.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses primarily consist of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and allocated overhead. Research and development expenses also include depreciation expense and other expenses associated with product development. We plan to increase the dollar amount of our investment in research and development for the foreseeable future as we focus on developing new features and enhancements to our plan offerings.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of personnel costs directly associated with our sales and marketing department, online advertising expenses, as well as allocated overhead, including depreciation expense. Sales force commissions and bonuses are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions are earned and recorded at contract commencement for both new customer contracts and expansion of contracts with existing customers. Sales commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which we have determined to be five years. We plan to increase the dollar amount of our investment in sales and marketing for the foreseeable future as we continue to scale the business.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel expenses associated with our finance, legal, human resources and other administrative employees. Our general and administrative expenses also include professional fees for external legal, accounting and other consulting services, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization expense, as well as allocated overhead. We expect to increase the size of our general and administrative functions to support the growth of our business. We expect the dollar amount of our general and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future. However, we expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over time.

Interest Income (Expense), Net

Interest income (expense), net consists primarily of interest expense related to the Facility and is offset by interest income earned on our cash and investment balances.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net consists of foreign currency transaction gains and losses.

74

Income Tax Provision

The income tax provision consists of current and deferred taxes for our United States and foreign jurisdictions. We have historically reported a taxable loss in our most significant jurisdiction, the United States, and have a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets related to domestic operations and certain deferred tax assets related to foreign operations. We expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future.

The increase in subscription revenue was primarily driven by increased revenue from our highest tier customers. The number of customers contributing $30,000 or more in ARR grew 13% versus the prior year and the number of customers contributing $50,000 or more in ARR grew 18% versus the prior year. The increase in new customers within the highest tiers was primarily driven by prioritizing our customer success and growth resources towards these customers and continuing to grow our sales force capacity to meet market demand.

Fees paid to our data providers increased due to higher costs of third-party data utilized in our platform. Hosting fees increased due to additional costs associated with the expansion of our highest tier customers and increased utilization of computing and storage needs. The increase in the amortization expense of intangible assets was driven by the acquired developed technology recognized as part of the NewsWhip acquisition in July 2025. In February 2025, we initiated a restructuring plan with the primary focus on our Sales and Customer Experience teams, which resulted in restructuring costs as well as a decrease in personnel costs and stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the below non-GAAP financial information, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, operating results or future outlook.

However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit

We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense associated with the acquired developed technology from the Tagger and NewsWhip acquisitions and restructuring charges. We believe non-GAAP gross profit provides our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization expense and restructuring charges, which are often unrelated to overall operating performance.

We define non-GAAP operating income as GAAP loss from operations, excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization expense associated with the acquired intangible assets from the Tagger and NewsWhip acquisitions, restructuring charges, non-cash losses or gains from lease terminations and modifications, and accretion associated with contingent consideration. We believe non-GAAP operating income provides our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, amortization expense, restructuring charges, non-cash losses or gains from lease terminations and modifications, and accretion associated with contingent consideration, which are often unrelated to overall operating performance.

Non-GAAP Net Income

We define non-GAAP net income as GAAP net loss, excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization expense associated with the acquired intangible assets from the Tagger and NewsWhip acquisition, restructuring charges, non-cash losses or gains from lease terminations and modifications, and accretion associated with contingent consideration. We believe non-GAAP net income provides our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, amortization expense, restructuring charges, non-cash losses or gains from lease terminations and modifications, and accretion associated with contingent consideration, which are often unrelated to overall operating performance.

Non-GAAP Net Income per Share

We define non-GAAP net income per share as GAAP net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, basic and diluted, excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization expense associated with the acquired intangible assets from the Tagger and NewsWhip acquisitions, restructuring charges, non-cash losses or gains from lease terminations and modifications, and accretion associated with contingent consideration. We believe non-GAAP net income per share provides our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, amortization expense, restructuring charges, non-cash losses or gains from lease terminations and modifications, and

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $95.3 million and net accounts receivable of $101.0 million. Historically, we have generated losses from operations as evidenced by our accumulated deficit. However, we have generated positive cash flows from operations for the last five fiscal years, from 2021 to 2025. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to grow the business. We may experience greater than anticipated operating losses in the short- and long-term due to macroeconomic, financial, geopolitical and other factors that are beyond our control. The impact of these factors on our customers and our operations going forward remains uncertain, and we continue to proactively monitor our liquidity position.

We primarily finance our operations through cash flows from operating activities, available cash and line of credit borrowings. In August 2023, we borrowed $75 million under the Facility in connection with the Tagger acquisition, and in July 2025, we borrowed $32 million under the Facility in connection with the NewsWhip acquisition. Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been to fund operations, pay for acquisitions, pay down our Facility and invest in capital expenditures.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash and investment balances and potential future equity or debt transactions. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our subscription growth rate, subscription renewal activity, billing frequency, the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions on our customers and our operations, the timing and extent of spending to support our research and development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced product offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of our product. We have in the past, and may in the future, enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Credit Agreement

On August 1, 2023, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the banks and other financial institutions or entities party thereto as lenders and MUFG Bank, LTD. as administrative agent and collateral agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), maturing on August 1, 2028. Borrowings under the Facility may be used to finance acquisitions and other investments permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.

On April 4, 2025, we entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”, and the Credit Agreement as amended thereby, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) which, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Facility from August 1, 2028 to April 4, 2030 and revised the manner in which the applicable interest rate is determined from a liquidity based determination to a leverage based determination. In addition, the Amendment removed the minimum liquidity and annual recurring revenue covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and replaced them with financial covenants as to (i) maximum Consolidated Senior Net Leverage Ratio and (ii) minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with such financial covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement and expect to be in compliance with such financial covenants for the next 12 months.

Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Facility may be designated as SOFR Loans or ABR Loans (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), subject to certain terms and conditions under the Amended Credit Agreement, and bear interest at a rate of either (i) SOFR (subject to a 1.0% floor), plus 0.10%, plus a margin ranging from 2.25% to 2.75% based on our consolidated Senior Net Leverage Ratio or (ii) ABR (subject to a 2.0% floor) plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% based on our Consolidated Senior Net Leverage Ratio. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the borrowings under the Facility were designated as SOFR Loans. The Facility also includes a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the Facility of 0.30% or 0.35% based on our Consolidated Senior Net Leverage Ratio.

The Amended Credit Agreement includes customary conditions to credit extensions, covenants, and customary events of default, including restrictions on our ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make or hold investments, execute certain change of control transactions, business combinations or other fundamental changes to its business, dispose of assets, make certain types of restricted payments, including dividends and other distributions to stockholders, enter into certain related party transactions, or amend or terminate certain contracts, subject to customary exceptions.

As of December 31, 2025, we had an outstanding balance of $40 million under the Amended Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 8 of the Notes to the Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report) for further discussion.

Operating Activities

Our largest source of operating cash is cash collections from our customers for subscription services. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel costs across the sales and marketing and research and development departments and hosting costs. Historically, we have generated negative cash flows from operating activities. However, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we generated positive cash flows from operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $43.4 million, which resulted from a net loss of $43.3 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $120.0 million and net cash outflow of $33.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $78.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, $24.1 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, which were primarily commissions, $10.8 million of depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense, $3.6 million for credit losses on accounts receivable, $1.5 million of amortization of right-of-use, or ROU, operating lease assets and a $1.2 million gain on lease modification. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $36.3 million increase in deferred commissions due to the addition of new customers and expansion of the business, an $18.3 million increase in gross accounts receivable and a $3.3 million decrease in operating lease liabilities. These outflows were partially offset by a $22.5 million increase in deferred revenue, a $1.5 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, and a $0.6 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $26.3 million, which resulted from a net loss of $62.0 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $112.5 million and net cash outflow of $24.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $84.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, $10.0 million of depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense, $16.3 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, which were primarily commissions, $1.7 million for credit losses on accounts receivable, $1.8 million of amortization of right-of-use, or ROU, operating lease assets and a $1.6 million gain on lease modification. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $34.2 million increase in deferred commissions due to the addition of new customers and expansion of the business, a $22.3 million increase in gross accounts receivable, a $5.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets and a $3.6 million decrease in operating lease liabilities. These outflows were partially offset by a $38.2 million increase in deferred revenue and a $3.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $6.5 million, which resulted from a net loss of $66.4 million adjusted for non-cash charges of $101.8 million and net cash outflow of $28.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $67.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, $6.7 million of depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense, $26.6 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs, which were primarily commissions, $2.4 million for credit losses on accounts receivable and $1.6 million of amortization of right-of-use, or ROU, operating lease assets. The net cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $40.5 million increase in deferred commissions due to the addition of new customers and expansion of the business, a $27.0 million increase in gross accounts receivable and a $3.5 million decrease in operating lease liabilities. These outflows were partially offset by a $41.9 million increase in deferred revenue.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $52.1 million, which was primarily due to $51.8 million paid for the acquisition of NewsWhip and $4.1 million in purchases of computer equipment and hardware, partially offset by $3.8 million in proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities.

90

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $40.7 million, which was primarily due to $45.1 million in proceeds from the maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $3.0 million in purchases of computer equipment and hardware and the $1.5 million payout of the Repustate acquisition purchase price holdback.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $86.6 million, which was primarily due to $145.6 million paid for the acquisitions of Tagger and Repustate and $63.1 million in purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by $124.2 million in proceeds from the maturities and sale of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $15.5 million, primarily driven by $32.0 million in borrowings under the Facility and $1.3 million of proceeds under our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $17.0 million in repayments of the Facility, $0.5 million in issuance costs related to the Amended Credit Agreement and $0.3 million in payments related to employee withholding taxes as a result of the net settlement of stock-based awards.

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $30.3 million, primarily driven by $30.0 million in repayments of the Facility and $2.3 million in payments related to employee withholding taxes as a result of the net settlement of stock-based awards, partially offset by $2.0 million of proceeds under our employee stock purchase plan.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $54.0 million, primarily driven by $75.0 million in borrowings under the Facility and $2.3 million of proceeds under our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by $20.0 million in repayments of the Facility, $2.4 million in payments related to employee withholding taxes as a result of the net settlement of stock-based awards and $1.0 million in issuance costs related to the Facility.

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2025, we have $40 million outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement, which matures on April 4, 2030. Refer to Note 8 of the Notes to the Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report) for further discussion.

In connection with our acquisition of NewsWhip in July 2025, we are required to make post-closing earnout payments, which are contingent upon NewsWhip’s achievement of financial performance metrics through June 30, 2027. As of December 31, 2025, the total estimated liability associated with the contingent consideration was $8.9 million. Refer to Note 4 and 14 of the Notes to the Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report) for further discussion.

As of December 31, 2025, we have non-cancellable contractual obligations related primarily to operating leases and minimum guaranteed purchase commitments for data and services. As of December 31, 2025, the total obligation for operating leases was $17.8 million, of which $3.6 million is expected in the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2025, our purchase commitment for primarily data and services was $115.7 million, of which $86.8 million is expected in the next twelve months. See Note 6 and Note 11 of the Notes to the Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report) for more information regarding these obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these audited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our audited financial statements are discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report). The accounting assumptions and estimates discussed in the section below are those that we consider most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. By their nature, these judgments and estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Although we believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions conforms to GAAP and is consistently applied, actual results could differ from our estimates.

Deferred Sales Commissions

Sales force commissions are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Sales commissions earned for initial contracts and for expansion of contracts with existing customers are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we have determined to be five years. Determining the period of benefit requires judgment for which we take into consideration products sold, expected customer life, expected contract renewals, technology life cycle and other factors. The Company assesses the expected period of benefit on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue from subscriptions to our social media management platform under a software-as-a-service model. Our subscriptions can range from monthly to one-year or multi-year arrangements and are generally non-cancellable during the contractual subscription term. Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the contract terms beginning on the date our product is made available to customers, which typically begins on the commencement date of each contract.

We have determined that subscriptions for our online software products are a distinct performance obligation, because the online software product is fully functional once a customer has access. In addition, we sell additional professional services, which are considered a distinct performance obligation, as they are sold separately, and the customer can benefit from the services to make better use of the online product purchased. For contracts containing multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price, or SSP, of the services provided to the customer. We determine the SSP based upon the prices at which we separately sell subscription and various professional services, and based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions, the value of our contracts, the types of offerings sold, customer demographics and other factors. Judgment is required to determine whether each product or service sold is a distinct performance obligation that should be accounted for separately.

Stock-Based Compensation

Currently, the equity awards we issue to certain of our employees consist solely of restricted stock units. For equity awards with only service conditions, we recognize compensation expense based on the grant‐date fair value on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period for the award. For equity awards with both service and performance conditions, compensation expense is recognized on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period once the achievement of the

92

performance condition is considered probable. Assessing whether performance conditions are probable to be achieved and estimating the timing upon which the condition may be achieved requires judgment. We estimate the probability and timing of achievement at the grant date and reassess each reporting period. For the periods presented, there were no equity awards granted containing performance conditions.

Business Combinations

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires assigning the fair value of purchase consideration to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any contingent consideration at the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair value of these assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any contingent consideration is recorded as goodwill.

When determining the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any contingent consideration, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets and contingent consideration. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions management believes a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of revenue growth rates, customer attrition rate, discount rate, royalty rate, obsolescence rate and total operating expenses.

During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations. Contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, other than measurement period adjustments, are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
