CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time we make statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. You can generally identify our forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “trend,” “will,” “would” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words.
We have based our forward-looking statements on beliefs and assumptions based on information available to us at the time the statements are made. We caution you that assumptions, beliefs, expectations, intentions and projections about future events may, and often do, vary materially from actual results. Therefore, we cannot assure you that actual results will not differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.
The following are some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other factors described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K of ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 15, 2024 (“2023 Form 10-K”), and in other reports we file from time to time with the SEC:
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our current and potential customers may reduce spending on sales, marketing, recruiting and other technology and information as a result of weaker economic conditions, which could harm our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows;
We may be unable to attract new customers, renew existing subscriptions, or expand existing subscriptions, which could harm our revenue growth and profitability;
If we are not able to obtain and maintain accurate, comprehensive, or reliable data, we could experience reduced demand for our products and services and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition;
Larger, well-funded companies with significant resources may shift their existing business models to become more competitive with us;
We experience competition from other companies and technologies that allow companies to gather and aggregate sales, marketing, recruiting, and other data, and competing products and services could provide greater appeal to customers;
The markets in which we compete are rapidly evolving, which make it difficult to forecast demand for our services;
Our platform integrates or otherwise works with third-party systems that we do not control;
Our business could be negatively affected by changes in search engine algorithms and dynamics or other traffic-generating arrangements;
We depend on our executive officers and other key employees, and the loss of or inability to attract, integrate and retain these and other highly skilled employees could harm our business;
If we fail to maintain, upgrade, or implement adequate operational and financial resources, including our IT systems, we may be unable to execute our business plan; and
We may be unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses, services, databases, and technologies into our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business.
ii

Risks Related to Privacy, Technology, and Security
Changes in laws, regulations, and public perception concerning data privacy, or changes in the patterns of enforcement of existing laws and regulations, could impact our ability to efficiently gather, process, update, and/or provide some or all of the information we currently provide or the ability of our customers and users to use some or all of our products or services;
We may be subject to litigation for any of a variety of claims, which could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition;
New or changing laws and regulations may diminish the demand for our platform, restrict access to our platform, constrain the range of services we can provide, or require us to disclose or provide access to information in our possession, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition;
We may not be able to adequately protect or enforce our proprietary and intellectual property rights in our data or technology;
Investing in our artificial intelligence (“AI”) capability introduces risks, which, if realized, could adversely impact our business;
Third-parties could use our products and services in a manner that is unlawful or contrary to our values or applicable law;
Cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities could result in serious harm to our reputation, business, and financial condition; and
Technical problems or disruptions that affect either our customers’ ability to access our services could damage our reputation and brands and lead to reduced demand for our products and services, lower revenues, and increased costs.
Risks Related to Credit and Financial Factors
We generate revenue from sales of subscriptions to our platform and data, and any decline in demand for the types of products and services we offer would negatively impact our business;
Our failure to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies in the future could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations;
Downturns or upturns in new sales and renewals are not immediately reflected in full within our results of operations;
We anticipate increasing operating expenses in the future, and we may not be able to maintain profitability;
Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial position and our ability to raise additional capital and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations;
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness;
Interest rate fluctuations may affect our results of operations and financial condition;
Changes in our credit and other ratings could adversely impact our operations and lower our profitability;
Global tax developments applicable to multinational businesses may have a material impact to our business, cash flows, or financial results. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has proposed significant changes to the international tax law framework in the form of the Pillar Two model rules which seek to implement a global minimum tax. The potential effects of Pillar Two may vary depending on the specific provisions and rules implemented by each country that adopts Pillar Two;
Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate and additional tax liabilities may impact our financial results; and
Changes in tax laws or regulations in the various tax jurisdictions we are subject to that are applied adversely to us or our paying customers could increase the costs of our products and services and harm our business.
iii

Risks Related to Geopolitical Factors
Operations and sales outside the United States expose us to risks inherent in international operations; and
Global economic uncertainty and catastrophic events, including global pandemics, continued hostilities such as those between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, and other conflicts in the Middle East, have and may disrupt our business and adversely impact our business and future results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure and Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our corporate structure and our tax receivable agreements may restrict our ability to make certain payments, increase the costs to consummate certain transactions, and limit our ability to realize the value of certain tax attributes; and
The parties to our stockholders agreement have special rights and interests that may conflict with ours or yours in the future.
These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in our forward-looking statements. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, investments, or other strategic transactions we may make.
You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
ZoomInfo Technologies Inc., through its operating subsidiaries, (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, and “ZoomInfo”) provides a go-to-market intelligence and engagement platform for sales and marketing teams. The Company’s cloud-based platform provides workflow tools with integrated, accurate, and comprehensive information on organizations and professionals to help users identify target customers and decision makers, obtain continually updated predictive lead and company scoring, monitor buying signals and other attributes of target companies, craft messages, engage via automated sales tools, and track progress through the deal cycle.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pertaining to interim financial information. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 or any future period.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Effective the second quarter of 2024, the Company removed the presentation of Restructuring and transaction-related expenses from the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These expenses will be allocated to the remaining financial statement line items. For comparability, the prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the current period presentation with no impact to net income or comprehensive income previously reported.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We base these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and other assumptions with respect to future events that we believe are reasonable and evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Given that estimates and judgments are required, actual results may differ from our estimates and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue primarily from subscription services. Our subscription services consist of our SaaS applications and related access to our platform. Subscription contracts are generally based on the number of users that access our applications, the level of functionality that they can access, and the amount of data that a customer integrates with their systems. Our subscription contracts typically have a term of one to three years and are non-cancelable. We typically bill for services annually, semi-annually, or quarterly in advance of delivery.


10

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers through the following steps:
(1)Identify the contract with a customer;
(2)Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
(3)Determine the transaction price;
(4)Allocate the transaction price; and
(5)Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
We recognize revenue for subscription contracts on a ratable basis over the contract term based on the number of calendar days in each period, beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Unearned revenue results from revenue amounts billed to customers in advance or cash received from customers in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations. Determining the transaction price often involves judgment and making estimates that can have a significant impact on the timing and amount of revenue reported. At times, the Company may adjust billing under a contract based on the addition of services or other circumstances, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates these amounts based on historical experience and adjusts revenue recognized.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-term Investments
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid marketable debt securities with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. We classify our investments in marketable securities as “available-for-sale.” We carry these investments at fair value, based on quoted market prices or other readily available market information. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and recognized when realized on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. If we were to determine that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, the amount of the decline related to a credit loss will be recognized in income.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, including the Company’s own assumptions in determining fair value
The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial assets and liabilities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in them.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. The Company holds cash at major financial institutions that often exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. The Company manages its credit risk associated with cash concentrations by concentrating its cash deposits in high-quality financial institutions and by periodically evaluating the credit quality of the primary financial institutions holding such deposits. The carrying value of cash approximates fair value. Our investment portfolio is comprised of highly rated securities with a weighted-average maturity of less than 12 months in accordance with our investment policy which seeks to preserve principal and maintain a high degree of liquidity. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses due to such cash concentrations. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable and revenue are limited due to a large, diverse customer base. We do not require collateral from clients. We maintain an allowance for credit losses based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses. Refer to the section below regarding the change in accounting estimate during the second quarter of 2024. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, or accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
Accounts receivable is comprised of invoices of revenue, net of allowance for expected credit losses, and does not bear interest. We consider receivables past due based on the contractual payment terms. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considers historical collection experience, changes in customer payment profiles, the aging of receivable balances, as well as current economic conditions, all of which may impact a customer’s ability to pay. Account balances are written-off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2024, the allowance for expected credit losses was $19.5 million. See the section further below regarding the change in accounting estimate during the second quarter of 2024.
The assessment of variable consideration to be constrained is based on estimates, and actual consideration may vary from current estimates. As adjustments to these estimates become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. Changes in variable consideration are recorded as a component of net revenue.
Effective as of June 30, 2024, the Company made a change in its accounting estimate of the collectibility of accounts receivable and changed operational procedures to require upfront pre-payment for services from certain smaller customers. This change in accounting estimate resulted in a reduction in Revenue of $15.3 million and an increase in General and administrative of $13.7 million, for a total impact to Income (loss) from operations of $29.0 million ($21.1 million net of tax, or $0.06 per share, basic and diluted) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Contract assets represent a contractual right to consideration in the future. Contract assets are generated when contractual billing schedules differ from revenue recognition timing.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. All repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remainder of the lease term for leasehold improvements. Qualifying internal use software costs incurred during the application development stage, which consist primarily of internal product development costs, outside services, personnel costs (including equity-based compensation), and purchased software license costs, are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. Estimated useful lives range from three to ten years.


12

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Deferred Commissions
Certain sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. These sales commissions for initial contracts are capitalized and included in Deferred costs and other assets, net of current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred sales commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit from the customer relationship which we have determined to be two and four years for renewals and new clients, respectively. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration our customer contracts, our technology, and other factors. Amortization expense related to these capitalized commissions is included in Sales and marketing on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Commissions payable at June 30, 2024 were $32.4 million, of which the current portion of $29.4 million was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the long-term portion of $3.0 million was included in Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Commissions payable at December 31, 2023 were $37.7 million, of which the current portion of $34.4 million was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the long-term portion of $3.3 million was included in Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Certain commissions are not capitalized as they do not represent incremental costs of obtaining a contract. Such commissions are expensed as incurred.
Advertising and Promotional Expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses of $8.9 million and $19.3 million were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Advertising expenses of $7.4 million and $15.9 million were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Advertising expenses are included in Sales and marketing on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our employees, including employee benefits, certain IT program expenses, facilities and related overhead costs. We continue to focus our research and development efforts on developing new products, adding new features and services, integrating acquired technologies, and increasing functionality. Expenditures for software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized and amortized over a four-year period on a straight-line basis.
Business Combinations
We allocate purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is determined based on the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed and equity interests issued, after considering any transactions that are separate from the business combination. The fair value of equity issued as part of a business combination is determined based on grant date stock price of the Company. The excess of fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets and contingent liabilities. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customer bases, acquired technology and acquired trade names, useful lives, royalty rates, and discount rates.
The estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to revision as additional information is obtained during the measurement period for an acquisition, which may last up to one year from the acquisition date. During the measurement period, we may record adjustments to the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill. After the conclusion of the measurement period or the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.


13

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In addition, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination are initially estimated as of the acquisition date. We re-evaluate these items based upon the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, with any revisions to our preliminary estimates being recorded to goodwill, provided that the timing is within the measurement period. Subsequent to the measurement period, changes to uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances will be recorded to earnings.
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase consideration paid in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year or when events and circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. The company has one reporting unit.
We first assess qualitative factors to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount or elect to bypass such assessment. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or we elect to bypass the qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative test by determining the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.
Acquired technology, customer relationships, trade names or brand portfolios, and other intangible assets are related to historical acquisitions (refer to Note 5 - Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets). Acquired intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period over which we expect to realize economic value related to the intangible asset. The amortization periods generally range from 2 years to 15 years. Any costs incurred to renew or extend the life of an intangible or long-lived asset are reviewed for capitalization.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of brand portfolios acquired from Pre-Acquisition ZI and represent costs paid to legally register phrases and graphic designs that identify and distinguish products sold by the Company. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization. Instead, they are subject to an annual assessment for potential impairment, or more frequently upon the occurrence of a triggering event when circumstances indicate that the book value is greater than its fair value. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value as a basis to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The Company conducts its impairment assessment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. No impairment charges relating to acquired goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets were recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Impairment and Abandonment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, acquired intangible assets, and right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future cash flows of the asset. The estimated future cash flows associated with the right-of-use assets under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 were developed by incorporating current market data and forecasts provided by reputable external real estate brokers and data sources. These projections consider prevailing rental rates, anticipated lease renewals, expected vacancy periods, and other relevant market factors that contribute to the estimation of recoverable cash flows for the impaired office spaces we do not intend to occupy. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $44.6 million to reduce the carrying values of our existing right-of-use assets associated with our Ra’anana, Waltham, Vancouver, and Grand Rapids offices. Impairment charges were immaterial for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023.


14

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
When a lease right-of-use asset has been abandoned, the estimated useful life of the asset is updated to reflect the cease use date, and the remaining carrying value of the asset is amortized ratably over the period between the commitment date and the cease use date. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded lease abandonment charges of $4.1 million related to the accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets. No lease abandonment charges were recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets by geographical region are based on the location of the legal entity that owns the assets, which includes property and equipment, net and operating lease right-of-use assets, net. As of June 30, 2024, long-lived assets held in the United States and Israel were $175.7 million and $20.3 million, respectively, representing approximately 97% of the consolidated total. As of December 31, 2023, long-lived assets held in the United States and Israel were $120.2 million and $20.2 million, respectively, representing approximately 96% of the consolidated total.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. For these arrangements, primarily those related to our data center arrangements, there is judgment in evaluating if the arrangement involves an identified asset that is physically distinct or whether we have the right to substantially all of the capacity of an identified asset that is not physically distinct. In arrangements that involve an identified asset, there is also judgment in evaluating if we have the right to direct the use of that asset.
We do not have any finance leases. Operating leases are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the fixed minimum remaining lease payments over the lease term, determined using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. Because the rates implicit in our leases are not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for each respective lease, which approximates the interest rate at which we could borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments and in similar economic environments. Some leases include options to extend or options to terminate the lease prior to the stated lease expiration. Optional periods to extend a lease, including by not exercising a termination option, are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised (or not exercised in the case of termination options). Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for lease and non-lease components, principally common area maintenance and related taxes for our facilities leases, as a single lease component. Short-term leases, defined as leases having an original lease term less than or equal to one year, are excluded from our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB’s ASC 815—Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.


15

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures them at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting, and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. To receive hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and the hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions.
Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue consists of customer payments and billings in advance of revenue being recognized from our subscription services. Unearned revenue that is anticipated to be recognized within the next 12 months is recorded as Unearned revenue, current portion and the remaining portion is included in Unearned revenue, net of current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are deferred and amortized as interest expense over the terms of the related debt using the effective interest method for term debt and on a straight-line basis for revolving debt. Debt issuance costs are generally presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the outstanding borrowings, consistent with debt discounts. However, the Company classifies the debt issuance costs related to its first lien revolving credit facility within Deferred costs and other assets, net of current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets regardless of whether the Company has any outstanding borrowings on our first lien revolving credit facility. Upon a refinancing or amendment, the Company evaluates the modified debt instrument in accordance with ASC 470-50-40-10. When the present value of the cash flows under the modified debt instrument has changed by greater than 10 percent from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original debt instrument, the Company accounts for the amendment as a debt extinguishment and all previously-capitalized debt issuance costs are expensed and included in Loss on debt modification and extinguishment. If the change in the present value of cash flows is less than 10 percent, any previously-capitalized debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the new debt instrument. The Company performs assessments of debt modifications at a lender-specific level for all syndicated financing arrangements.


16

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Tax Receivable Agreements
In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into two Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRA” or “TRAs”) with certain non-controlling interest owners (the “TRA Holders”). The TRAs generally provide for payment by the Company to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company actually realizes or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these net cash savings.
We account for amounts payable under the TRA in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. Amounts payable under the TRA are accrued by a charge to income when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is estimable. TRA related liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the expected date of payment and are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets under the captions Current portion of tax receivable agreements liability and Tax receivable agreements liability, net of current portion, respectively. Subsequent changes to the measurement of the TRA liability are recognized on our Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Other income, net. Refer to Note 13 - Tax Receivable Agreements for further details on the TRA liability.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax law is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The need for valuation allowances is regularly evaluated for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider both positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and results of recent operations. If, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority, solely based on its technical merits. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit which is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within Provision (benefit) for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Equity-Based Compensation Expense
The Company periodically grants incentive awards to employees and non-employees, which generally vest over periods of up to four years. Incentive awards may be in the form of various equity-based awards such as restricted stock and restricted stock units, and common stock options.
Compensation expense for incentive awards is measured at the estimated fair value of the incentive units and is included as compensation expense over the vesting period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the award. Compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock units is measured at the estimated fair value of the units and is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the service period when it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied. Compensation expense for market-based restricted stock units is measured at the estimated fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the use of various assumptions, including the stock price volatility and risk-free interest rate as of the valuation date corresponding to the length of time remaining in the performance period. This expense is recognized using the accelerated attribution method over the service period and is not reversed if the market condition is not met.


17

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and profits interests, as profits interests have certain economic similarities to options. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes various assumptions, including the expected term of incentive units, the expected volatility, and the expected risk-free interest rate. These assumptions reflect the Company’s best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside the control of the Company. As a result, if other assumptions are used, compensation cost could differ.
Compensation expense related to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan is measured at the estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the estimated number of awards as of the beginning of the offering period.
The Company measures employee, non-employee, and board of director equity-based compensation on the grant date fair value basis. Equity-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the awards. For equity awards that have a performance condition, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on its assessment of the probability that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.
The Company classifies equity-based compensation expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s salary and related costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.
Share Repurchase Program
In March 2023, the Board authorized a program to repurchase the Company’s common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The total authorizations in 2023 and 2024 were $600.0 million and $500.0 million, respectively, of which $399.4 million remained available and authorized for repurchases as of June 30, 2024. Shares of common stock may be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program from time to time through open market purchases, block trades, private transactions or accelerated or other structured share repurchase programs. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares of common stock, and the timing of such purchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 10,799,791 shares of common stock at an average price of $13.65, for an aggregate $147.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 20,423,046 shares of common stock at an average price of $14.71, for an aggregate $300.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 2,847,121 shares of common stock at an average price of $21.99, for an aggregate $62.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 3,905,412 shares of common stock at an average price of $22.26, for an aggregate $87.0 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are intended to increase transparency through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., a January 1, 2025 effective date), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impacts of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements as well as the impacts to its financial reporting process and related internal controls.


18

Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this ASU incorporate into the FASB’s ASC certain SEC disclosure requirements that were referred to the FASB and overlap with, but require incremental information to, U.S. GAAP. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited, and applied prospectively. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from FASB’s ASC and will not become effective for any entity. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 (i.e., a January 1, 2024 effective date), and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (i.e., the first quarter of 2025). The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard beginning in 2024 and expects to provide incremental qualitative segment-related disclosures beginning with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. However, there was no impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (continued)
Of the total revenue recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, $122.2 million and $367.4 million, respectively, were included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2023. Of the total revenue recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, $103.4 million and $316.7 million, respectively, were included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2022. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods was not material.
Revenues derived from customers and partners located outside the United States, as determined based on the address provided by our customers and partners, accounted for approximately 12% and 13% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenues derived from customers and partners located outside the United States, as determined based on the address provided by our customers and partners, accounted for approximately 12% and 13% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Contracts denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollar were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Contract Assets and Unearned Revenue
The Company’s standard billing terms typically require payment at the beginning of each annual, semi-annual, or quarterly period. Subscription revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term starting with when our service is made available to the customer. Usage-based revenue is recognized in the period services are utilized by our customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.
The Company records a contract asset when revenue recognized on a contract exceeds the billings to date for that contract. Unearned revenue results from cash received or amounts billed to customers in advance of revenue recognized upon the satisfaction of performance obligations. The unearned revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration, invoice timing, dollar size, and new business timing within the quarter. The unearned revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had contract assets of $6.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively, which are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had unearned revenue of $440.4 million and $441.9 million, respectively.
ASC 606 requires the allocation of the transaction price to the remaining performance obligations of a contract. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the timing of renewals, and disparate contract terms. Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and backlog. The Company's backlog represents installment billings for periods beyond the current billing cycle. The majority of the Company’s noncurrent remaining performance obligations will be recognized in the next 13 to 36 months.

First Lien Credit Agreement
Performance of obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all the productive assets of the Company. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability to, among other things:
Incur additional indebtedness;
Create or incur liens;
Engage in certain fundamental changes, including mergers or consolidations;


23

Note 6 - Financing Arrangements (continued)
Sell or transfer assets;
Pay dividends and distributions on our subsidiaries’ capital stock;
Make acquisitions, investments, loans or advances;
Engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and
Enter into negative pledge clauses and clauses restricting subsidiary distributions.
If the Company draws more than $87.5 million of the revolving credit loan, the revolving credit loan is subject to a springing financial covenant pursuant to which the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio must not exceed 5.00 to 1.00. The credit agreements also contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the credit agreements will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the credit agreements and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.
First Lien Term Loan
In June 2024, we entered into an amendment to our existing First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company completed a repricing of its First Lien Term Loan Facility, which decreased the applicable rate for Base Rate loans from 1.25% to 0.75% and SOFR based loans from 2.25% to 1.75%. The Company recognized an immaterial loss in connection with the repricing during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 within Loss on debt modification and extinguishment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under the terms of the Seventh Amendment, the Company is obligated to make principal payments in the amount of 0.25% of the aggregate outstanding amount as of the latest amendment.
In December 2023, we entered into an amendment to our existing First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company completed a repricing of its First Lien Term Loan Facility, which decreased the applicable rate for Base Rate loans from 1.75% to 1.25% and SOFR based loans from 2.85% to 2.25%, and included the removal of the 0.1% credit spread adjustment.
In February 2023, we entered into an amendment to our existing First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”), pursuant to which the Company completed a repricing of its First Lien Term Loan Facility, which provided for an extension of the maturity date to February 28, 2030. The first lien term debt had a variable interest rate whereby the Company can elect to use a Base Rate or SOFR plus an applicable rate. Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the applicable rate decreased for Base Rate loans from 2.00% to 1.75% and from 3.10% to 2.85% for SOFR based loans.
The Company recognized an immaterial loss in connection with the repricing in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 within Loss on debt modification and extinguishment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The effective interest rate on the first lien debt was 7.30% and 7.83% as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
First Lien Revolving Credit Facility
Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the Company also extended the maturity date of $213.0 million of our $250.0 million existing commitments of the first lien revolving credit facility to February 28, 2028. Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, $26.0 million of the non-extended commitments were extended to February 28, 2028. With respect to the $11.0 million commitments which were not extended, the maturity date is November 2, 2025. Debt issuance costs were incurred in connection with the repricing of the revolving credit facility. These debt issuance costs are amortized into interest expense over the expected life of the arrangement. Unamortized debt issuance costs are immaterial and included in Deferred costs and other assets, net of current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.


24

Note 6 - Financing Arrangements (continued)
The first lien revolving debt has a variable interest rate whereby the Company can elect to use a Base Rate or SOFR, plus an applicable rate. The applicable margin is 1.00% to 1.25% for Base Rate loans. The applicable margin for SOFR loans is 2.10% to 2.35%, which includes the credit spread adjustment of 0.1%, depending on the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio.
Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Hedges
We are exposed to risks from changes in interest rates related to the first lien term loan (See Note 6 - Financing Arrangements). The Company uses derivative financial instruments, specifically, interest rate swap contracts, in order to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of cash flows associated with changes in interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s interest rate cap contract matured. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (in millions):
Interest Rate Derivatives (Level 2)Number of InstrumentsNotional Aggregate Principal Amount
Interest Swap Rate
Maturity Date
Interest rate swap contractsTwo500.0 0.370 %January 30, 2026
The derivative interest rate swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Consequently, the change in the estimated fair value of the effective portion of the derivative is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to Interest expense, net, when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings. The Company expects to recognize approximately $22.5 million of net pre-tax gains from accumulated other comprehensive income as a reduction of interest expense in the next twelve months associated with its interest rate swap.
Refer to the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings related to the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments for each of the reporting periods.
Foreign Currency Hedges
We are exposed to changes in currency exchange rates, primarily relating to changes in the Israeli Shekel. Consequently, from time to time, we may use foreign exchange forward contracts or other financial instruments to manage our exposure to foreign exchange rate movements. Our primary objective in holding derivatives is to reduce the volatility of cash flows associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company engaged in foreign currency forward contract activities, settling a portion of our contracts with a cumulative notional amount of $8.6 million within the three months ended June 30, 2024. These transactions resulted in an immaterial loss which offset lower operating expenses due to favorable changes in the foreign currency. At June 30, 2024, our derivative financial instruments consisted of foreign currency forward contracts with a total notional value of $23.3 million with maturities extending to December 2024.


25

Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities (continued)
The derivative foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Consequently, the change in the estimated fair value of the effective portion of the derivative is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified to revenue or operating expenses depending on the nature of the underlying transaction, when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings. Impacts on Cash and cash equivalents are presented as operating cash flows on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the period contracts are settled.
The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation on our Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivatives as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in millions):

Note 8 - Fair Value
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and long-term debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value, primarily due to short maturities. We classify our money market mutual funds as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. We classify our corporate debt securities, securities guaranteed by the U.S. government, certificates of deposits, and other governmental securities as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our first term lien debt and Senior Notes was $590.3 million and $585.0 million as of June 30, 2024, and $595.5 million and $588.3 million as of December 31, 2023, respectively, based on observable market prices in less active markets and categorized as Level 2 within the fair value measurement framework.


26

Note 8 - Fair Value (continued)
The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the interest rate derivatives using observable Level 2 market expectations at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted) reflecting current market expectations about those future amounts. Level 2 inputs for the derivative valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically SOFR cash and swap rates, implied volatility for options, caps and floors, basis swap adjustments, overnight indexed swap (“OIS”) short term rates and OIS swap rates, when applicable, and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for most fair value measurements. Key inputs, including the cash rates for very short-term, futures rates and swap rates beyond the derivative maturity, are interpolated to provide spot rates at resets specified by each derivative (reset rates are then further adjusted by the basis swap, if necessary). Derivatives are discounted to present value at the measurement date at SOFR rates unless they are fully collateralized. Fully collateralized derivatives are discounted to present value at the measurement date at OIS rates (short-term OIS rates and long-term OIS swap rates).
Inputs are collected from SuperDerivatives, an independent third-party derivative pricing data provider, as of the close on the last day of the period. The valuation of the interest rate swaps also take into consideration estimates of our own, as well as our counterparty’s, risk of non-performance under the contract.
We estimate the value of other long-lived assets that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis based on a market valuation approach. We use prices and other relevant information generated primarily by recent market transactions involving similar or comparable assets, as well as our historical experience in divestitures, acquisitions and real estate transactions. Additionally, we may use a cost valuation approach to value long-lived assets when a market valuation approach is unavailable. Under this approach, we determine the cost to replace the service capacity of an asset, adjusted for physical and economic obsolescence. When available, we use valuation inputs from independent valuation experts, such as real estate appraisers and brokers, to corroborate our estimates of fair value. Real estate appraisers’ and brokers’ valuations are typically developed using one or more valuation techniques including market, income, and replacement cost approaches. Because these valuations contain unobservable inputs, we classify the measurement of fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3.

Deferred acquisition-related payments
In connection with the acquisition of Insent, the Company paid $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, of which $0.7 million represents deferred consideration. Refer to Note 4 - Business Combinations in our 2023 Form 10-K for additional information.
Legal matters
We are subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inspections, audits, or investigations that arise in the ordinary course of our business. There are inherent uncertainties in these matters, some of which are beyond management’s control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management’s views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop. Based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing, except where otherwise indicated, it is not possible to provide an estimated amount of any loss or range of loss that may occur with respect to these matters, including without limitation the matters described below.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
On April 15, 2021, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against ZoomInfo Technologies LLC in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division) alleging ZoomInfo’s use of Illinois residents’ names in public-facing web pages violates the Illinois Right of Publicity Act, and seeking statutory, compensatory and punitive damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees. Additionally, on September 30, 2021, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington alleging ZoomInfo’s use of California residents’ names in public-facing web pages violates California statutory and common law regarding the right of publicity as well as misappropriation, and seeking compensatory and punitive damages, restitution, injunctive relief, declaratory relief, costs, and attorneys’ fees. In June 2024, the Illinois District Court preliminarily approved a settlement agreement between ZoomInfo and the plaintiffs in the Illinois class action that, if granted final approval, will resolve the Illinois class action, the California class action and similar, unfiled claims in the states of Indiana and Nevada (the “Class Actions”). Under the terms of settlement, ZoomInfo has agreed to pay approximately $29.5 million, equal to 3% of the statutory damages for each eligible class member in the affected states. The Company has 30 days after the preliminary approval to move the settlement amount into an escrow account. Upon final approval, the settlement would release all claims by any class member against ZoomInfo based on the alleged use of such class member’s identity, persona, name, image, likeness, or personal information for any commercial purpose without consent, including any claims alleging a violation of any right of publicity law. The settlement is not an admission of fault or wrongdoing by ZoomInfo. However, it believes that a resolution of these claims at this time is in the best interest of the Company given the costs and risks inherent in litigation. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred charges $30.2 million, which includes both the estimated settlement amount and other legal costs, of which $0.7 million of legal costs has been paid. The remaining accrual of $29.5 million as of June 30, 2024 is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On February 10, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against Datanyze, LLC, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois alleging Datanyze's use of Illinois residents’ names in a free trial violates the Illinois Right of Publicity Act, and seeking statutory, compensatory and punitive damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division). The Company intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.
On March 8, 2023, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against Datanyze, LLC in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio alleging Datanyze's use of Ohio residents names in a free trial violates the Ohio Right of Publicity Statute, and seeking statutory damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees. On November 17, 2023, the court dismissed the plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice, and the plaintiffs have since appealed the dismissal. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

Note 11 - Leases
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices under non-cancelable agreements with various expiration dates. Our leases do not have significant rent escalation, holidays, concessions, material residual value guarantees, material restrictive covenants, or contingent rent provisions. Our leases include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent, taxes, and insurance costs) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs) which are accounted for as a single lease component. In addition, we have elected the practical expedient to exclude short-term leases, which have an original lease term of one year or less, from our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as well as the package of practical expedients relating to adoption of Topic 842.

Note 11 - Leases (continued)
The Company subleases two offices. The subleases have remaining lease terms of less than seven years. Sublease income, which is recorded as a reduction of rent expense and allocated to the appropriate financial statement line items to arrive at Income (loss) from operations on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Undiscounted lease payments under all leases executed and not yet commenced are anticipated to be $71.2 million, of which $28.9 million relate to leases expected to commence in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $43.5 million relate to leases expected to commence in 2024 (excluding the six months ended June 30, 2024). These payments are not included in the tabular disclosure of undiscounted future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases above.
Recent Leasing Activity
Relating to our office space in Waltham, Massachusetts, the third and fourth phases of the lease commenced in April 2024 which, collectively, resulted in additional lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets of $8.5 million. The remaining phases (i.e., the fifth and sixth phases) have not yet commenced. We recognized impairment charges of $4.3 million to reduce the carrying value of the associated right-of-use assets. Additionally, we recognized impairment charges of $4.8 million to reduce the carrying value of the right-of-use asset associated with the second phase of the lease. These charges were recorded within General and administrative during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and relate to certain spaces which were intended to sublease. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company committed to the cease-use of all phases except for the first and second phases. As a result, we incurred lease abandonment charges of $4.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 for the vacated spaces. These charges were allocated among the respective cost line items on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequently, the Company executed an agreement to restructure its lease commitments (refer to Note 15 - Subsequent Events).


34

Note 11 - Leases (continued)
Relating to our new corporate headquarters in Vancouver, Washington, the sixth floor of the lease commenced in March 2024. The commencement of the floor resulted in additional lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets of $27.5 million. The seventh, eighth, and ninth floors of the lease commenced in April, May, and June, respectively. The commencement of these floors resulted in additional lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets of $59.2 million. As the commencement of the remaining subsequent floors of this lease are expected to occur between July 2024 and October 2024, the Company has not recorded operating lease right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for these floors as of June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized impairment charges of $29.2 million to reduce the carrying value of the right-of-use assets associated with certain spaces of the leased premises which were intended to sublease. These charges were recorded within General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Relating to our office space in Ra’anana, Israel, which commenced during the third quarter of 2023, we recognized additional impairment charges of $5.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to certain spaces of the leased premises which were intended to sublease. These charges were recorded within General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Note 12 - Equity-based Compensation
2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan - On May 26, 2020, the Board adopted the Omnibus Plan. The Omnibus Plan provides for potential grants of the following awards with respect to shares of the Company’s common stock or securities valued by reference to, or otherwise determined by reference to or based on, shares of common stock: (i) incentive stock options qualified as such under U.S. federal income tax laws; (ii) non-qualified stock options or any other form of stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units; (vi) interests in a limited liability company that is a subsidiary of the Company, and (vii) other equity-based and cash-based incentive awards as determined by the compensation committee of the Board or any properly delegated subcommittee.
The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that could be issued pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan was 18,650,000 shares (including other securities which have been issued under the plan and were converted into awards based on shares of common stock) (the “Plan Share Reserve”). The Omnibus Plan also contains a provision that will add an additional number of shares of common stock to the Plan Share Reserve on the first day of each year starting with January 1, 2021, equal to the lesser of (i) the positive difference between (x) 5% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding year, and (y) the Plan Share Reserve on the last day of the immediately preceding year, and (ii) a lower number of shares of common stock as may be determined by the Board.
The Company currently has equity-based compensation awards outstanding as follows: restricted stock units, common stock options, and restricted stock. In addition, the Company recognizes equity-based compensation expense from awards granted to employees as further described below under HSKB Phantom Units.
Except where indicated otherwise, the equity-based compensation awards described below are subject to time-based service requirements. For all grants issued, the service vesting condition is generally four years with 25% vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant date of the award and 6.25% vesting quarterly thereafter; or three years with 33% vesting on the one-year anniversary of the grant date of the award and 8.375% vesting quarterly thereafter.

Note 12 - Equity-based Compensation (continued)
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued PRSUs which will vest in annual tranches over a three-year service period. Total PRSUs earned for grants made in 2024 may vary between 0% and 150% of the PRSUs granted based on the attainment of company specific-performance targets during the related performance period and continued service. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued PRSUs, which were recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board and approved by the full Board. The service vesting condition for one of the issued awards is one year. Each of the remaining PRSUs will vest in annual tranches over a three-year service period. Total PRSUs earned for grants made in 2023 may vary between 0% and 200% of the PRSUs granted based on the attainment of company-specific performance targets during the related performance period and continued service. All of the PRSUs earned will be settled through the issuance of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the payout level achieved.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued market-based RSUs, which were approved by the Board. These awards will vest over the performance period which commenced on June 20, 2024, and will conclude on April 1, 2027. The vesting is based on the attainment of an average 30-day closing price of the applicable stock price threshold of the Company’s common stock at any time during the performance period and subject to continuous employment through the vesting dates.

Note 12 - Equity-based Compensation (continued)
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On June 3, 2020, the Board adopted the ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) that allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a discounted price, through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation and the IRS allowable limit per calendar year. The Compensation Committee of the Board administers the ESPP, including with respect to the frequency and duration of offering periods, the maximum number of shares that an eligible employee may purchase during an offering period, and, subject to certain limitations set forth in the ESPP, the per-share purchase price. Currently, the maximum number of shares that can be purchased by an eligible employee under the ESPP is 1,500 shares per offering period and there are two six-month offering periods that begin in the second and fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The purchase price for one share of common stock under the ESPP is currently equal to 90% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or the purchase date, whichever is lower.
The maximum aggregate number of shares of the common stock that may be issued under the ESPP is no more than 7,500,000 shares (the “ESPP Plan Share Reserve”). The ESPP plan also contains a provision that will add an additional number of shares of common stock to the ESPP Plan Reserve on the first day of each year starting with January 1, 2021, equal to the lesser of (i) the positive difference between (x) 1% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (y) the ESPP Plan Share Reserve on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (ii) a lower number of shares of common stock as may be determined by the Board.
The fair value of the ESPP purchase was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The expected term for the purchases was based on the six-month offering period. We estimate the future stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company with a lookback period commensurate with the expected term of the ESPP purchases. The risk-free rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds issued with a remaining term equal to the expected term.
The Company withheld $0.5 million and $2.6 million worth of ESPP contributions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, on behalf of participating employees through payroll deductions included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company withheld $1.4 million and $4.4 million worth of ESPP contributions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, on behalf of participating employees through payroll deductions. The Company purchased 248,742 shares of Common Stock under the ESPP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company purchased 181,931 shares of Common Stock under the ESPP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company recognized $0.4 million and $1.2 million of equity-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company recognized $0.8 million and $2.0 million of equity-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 13 - Tax Receivable Agreements
For information related to our TRAs, refer to Note 17 - Tax Receivable Agreements in our 2023 Form 10-K.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a liability of $2,795.5 million and $2,818.0 million, respectively, related to its projected obligations under the TRAs. This liability, or a portion thereof, becomes payable once the tax attributes under the TRAs reduce the Company’s current income tax liability which would have been otherwise due absent such tax attributes. The liability will be reduced to the extent the tax attributes are expected to expire or otherwise cannot be applied to reduce the Company’s tax liabilities. The liability is classified as current or noncurrent based on the expected date of payment and are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets under the captions Current portion of tax receivable agreements liability and Tax receivable agreements liability, net of current portion, respectively.
No payment was made to TRA holders pursuant to the TRA during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a TRA measurement gain of $0.2 million, principally due to revaluation for the blended state tax rate and updates to tax attributes, net of interest expense accrued on the current portion of the TRA liability, within Other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a TRA measurement gain of $1.1 million, principally due to updates to tax attributes and movements in our blended state tax rate within Other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, $31.6 million was paid to TRA holders pursuant to the TRA. No payment was made during the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a TRA measurement loss of $9.2 million, principally due to revaluation for the blended state tax rate, an increase to the cumulative liability due to TRA Holders resulting from a reduction in the management allocation percent withheld, and interest expense accrued on the current portion of the TRA liability, within Other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a TRA measurement gain of $11.2 million, principally due to updates to tax attributes and movements in our blended state tax rate, within Other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Note 14 - Income Taxes
The Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was based on our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2024 and 2023, respectively, adjusted for specific items that are required to be recognized in the period in which they occur.
39

Note 14 - Income Taxes (continued)
The effective tax rate, inclusive of items specific to the period, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 0.7% and 30.3%, respectively. The Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.2 million and income tax expense of $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The effective tax rate, inclusive of items specific to the period, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 288.9% and 32.8%, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $14.2 million and $40.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company’s projected 2024 annual effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to U.S. state taxes, foreign taxes and non-deductible equity compensation expense, offset by research and development credits. Further, the Company’s annual effective tax rate included period specific costs associated with non-deductible executive compensation and shortfalls in tax-deductible equity compensation compared to amounts recognized in our financial accounts.
The gross liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, which is reflected as a reduction of deferred tax assets, were $12.8 million and $12.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. No interest or penalties are accrued with respect to the unrecognized tax benefits. If the unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 were recognized, the entire balance would impact the effective tax rate. It is not anticipated any of the unrecognized tax benefit will be recognized within the next twelve months.
Note 15 - Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events from June 30, 2024 through the date the financial statement was available to be issued and has determined there are no material subsequent events that require disclosure other than those below.
Share Repurchase Program
Subsequent to June 30, 2024 and up through August 2, 2024, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 1,747,542 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market at a cost of $20.8 million, for an average price of $11.93 per share, under the Share Repurchase Program described further in Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements.
Waltham Lease Agreement Amendment
In July 2024, the Company executed an agreement to restructure its lease commitments in Waltham, Massachusetts. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company made a payment of $59.1 million.

Overview
ZoomInfo is a global leader in modern go-to-market software, data, and intelligence for sales, marketing, operations, and recruiting teams. Our cloud-based platform delivers comprehensive and high-quality intelligence and analytics to provide sales, marketing, operations, and recruiting professionals accurate information and insights on the organizations and professionals they target. This enables our customers to shorten sales cycles and increase win rates by empowering sellers, marketers, and recruiters to deliver the right message to the right person at the right time in the right way.
ZoomInfo defines the modern go-to-market technology stack across three distinct layers that build upon each other:
Our Intelligence Layer is the foundation of our data-driven strategy. Our best-in-class data, curated through first- and third-party sources, includes billions of data points about companies and contacts, such as intent, hierarchy, location, and financial information.
Our Orchestration Layer integrates and enriches our data sources. At this stage, our products assign and route data, leads, and insights to the appropriate people. This creates a dataset that is continuously updated and can be used to power automated business workflows. Our services connect with major CRM providers.
Our Engagement Layer allows sales, marketing, operations, and recruiting professionals to put data-driven insights into action to identify and communicate with prospects and customers. In ZoomInfo Sales, frontline teams, managers, and leaders use Engage for multi-touch and multi-channel sales engagement, as well as Chorus for call and web meeting recording, transcription, insight generation, and coaching. In ZoomInfo Marketing, marketers drive awareness, lead generation, and deal acceleration campaigns through account-based marketing, advertising, and onsite conversion optimization solutions, along with ZoomInfo Chat for intelligent onsite experiences through live conversation and chatbots. In ZoomInfo Talent, recruiters and talent acquisition professionals access a platform that helps them efficiently find candidates. Recruiters can filter and reach more good-fit candidates, use pipeline management tools to collaborate and organize the hiring process, and automate the candidate outreach process. In ZoomInfo Operations, our sales operations customers use a suite of products, services, and solutions to ingest, match, enrich, and connect data feeds into multiple systems.
We generate substantially all of our revenue from sales of subscriptions to our platform. Subscriptions include the use of our platform and access to customer support. Subscriptions generally range from one to three years in length. Over 45% of customer contracts (based on annualized value) are multi-year agreements. We typically bill our customers at the beginning of each annual, semi-annual, or quarterly period and recognize revenue ratably over the term of the subscription period.

41

We sell access to our platform to both new and existing customers. We price our subscriptions based on the functionality, users, and records under management that are included in each product edition. Our paid products are ZoomInfo Sales, ZoomInfo Marketing, ZoomInfo Operations, and ZoomInfo Talent (with add-on options for some products). Additionally, customers can gain free access to ZoomInfo through ZoomInfo Lite (formerly Community Edition).
Recent Developments
Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions
Our business and financial condition have and may continue to be impacted by adverse macroeconomic conditions. See “Risk Factors - Geopolitical Risks” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K for further discussion of the possible impact of these issues on our business.
First Lien Term Loan
In June 2024, we entered into an amendment to our existing First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Seventh Amendment"), pursuant to which the Company completed a repricing of its First Lien Term Loan Facility, which decreased the applicable rate for both Base Rate loans and SOFR based loans by 50 basis points.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that the growth and future success of our business depends on many factors, including the following:
Continuing to Acquire New Customers
We are focused on continuing to grow the number of customers that use our platform in the United States and around the world. While we added new customers over the last 24 months that contributed incremental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, our total revenues decreased period over period primarily as a result of the change in accounting estimate during the current period. Refer to the “Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations” section further below. Our operating results and growth prospects will depend in part on our ability to continue to attract new customers. Additionally, acquiring new customers strengthens the power of our contributory networks. We plan to continue to invest in our efficient go-to-market effort to acquire new customers.
Increasing Usage of Our Platform
We believe that expanding the value that we provide to our customers and the corresponding revenue generated as a result is an important measure of the health of our business. We monitor net revenue retention to measure that growth. Net revenue retention is a metric that we calculate based on customers of ZoomInfo at the beginning of the twelve-month period, and is calculated as: (a) the total annual contract value ("ACV") for those customers at the end of the twelve-month period, divided by (b) the total ACV for those customers at the beginning of the twelve-month period. Our net revenue retention rate was 85% as of June 30, 2024. In the near term, we expect our net retention rate to be impacted by macroeconomic conditions. See section "Recent Developments - Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions." We also measure our success in expanding relationships with existing customers by the number of customers that contract for more than $100,000 in ACV. As of June 30, 2024, we had 1,797 customers with over $100,000 in ACV.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results of Operations
Our historical results of operations are not comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial results of operations in future periods. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the key factor impacting the comparability of our results of operations.
Changing the Mix of Our Customer Base and Reducing Write-offs and Bad Debts
During the second quarter of 2024, we deployed a new business risk model to flag and require upfront pre-payment from prospects at the greatest risk of non-payment. This process was incorporated to mitigate the risk of future write-offs and invest in the long-term health of the Company. Concurrently, our efforts have shifted to customers more likely to pay, renew, and grow with us over time.
As a result, we recorded an incremental charge during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 impacting our reported Revenue and General and administrative expenses. The charge represents a revision to our reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable, made up primarily of historical transactions with our SMB customers from 2023. Refer to the Change in Accounting Estimate section in Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We derive primarily all of our revenue from subscription services and the remainder from recurring usage-based services and other revenue. Our subscription services consist of our SaaS applications. Pricing of our subscription contracts are generally based on the functionality provided, the number of users that access our applications, and the amount of data that the customer integrates into their systems. Our subscription contracts typically have a term ranging from one to three years and are non-cancelable. We typically bill for services in advance either annually, semi-annually, or quarterly, and we typically require payment at the beginning of each annual, semi-annual, or quarterly period.
Subscription revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term starting with when our service is made available to the customer. Recurring usage-based revenue is recognized in the period services are utilized by our customers. Other revenue, comprised largely of implementation and professional services fees, is recognized as services are delivered. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services. We record a contract asset when revenue recognized on a contract exceeds the billings to date for that contract.
Unearned revenue results from cash received or amounts billed to customers in advance of revenue recognized upon the satisfaction of performance obligations. The unearned revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including seasonality, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice duration, invoice timing, dollar size, and contract timing within the period. The unearned revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements.
Cost of service
Cost of service, excluding amortization of acquired technology. Cost of service, excluding amortization of acquired technology, includes direct expenses related to the support and operations of our services and research teams including salaries, benefits, equity-based compensation, and related expenses, such as employer taxes, allocated overhead for facilities, technology, third-party hosting fees, third-party data costs, and amortization of internally developed capitalized software.
We anticipate that we will continue to invest in cost of service and that cost of service as a percentage of revenue will remain consistent or modestly decrease as we realize operating leverage in the business.

43

Amortization of acquired technology. Amortization of acquired technology includes amortization expense for technology acquired in business combinations.
We anticipate that amortization of acquired technology will increase if we make additional acquisitions in the future.
Gross profit and Gross margin
Gross profit is revenue less cost of service, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including leveraging economies of scale, the costs associated with third-party hosting services and third-party data, the level of amortization of acquired technology, and the extent to which we expand our customer support and research organizations. We expect that our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these various factors.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, general and administrative, and amortization of other acquired intangibles. The most significant component of our operating expenses is personnel costs, which consists of salaries, bonuses, sales commissions, equity-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits. Operating expenses also include overhead costs for facilities, technology, professional fees, depreciation and amortization expense, marketing, and restructuring and transaction-related expenses. We anticipate that restructuring and transaction-related expenses, including potential impairments, will be influenced by future acquisition activity, strategic restructuring activities, and the commencement of new leases. Specifically, as new leases commence, we may face increased impairment expenses for spaces that we do not intend to occupy and/or that we plan to sublease, which could cause these costs to vary, potentially significantly, from our historic levels. Refer to Note 11 - Leases for further information.
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of employee compensation such as salaries, bonuses, sales commissions, equity-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits for our sales and marketing teams, as well as overhead costs, technology, and marketing programs. Sales commissions and related payroll taxes directly related to contract acquisition are capitalized and recognized as expenses over the estimated period of benefit.
We anticipate that we will continue to invest in sales and marketing capacity to enable future growth. We anticipate that sales and marketing expense excluding equity-based compensation as a percentage of revenue will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of our growing investments in sales and marketing capacity excluding equity-based compensation, the recognition of revenue, and the amortization of contract acquisition costs.
Research and development. Research and development expenses support our efforts to enhance our existing platform and develop new software products. Research and development expenses primarily consist of employee compensation such as salaries, bonuses, equity-based compensation, and other employee-related benefits for our engineering and product management teams, as well as overhead costs. Research and development expenses do not reflect amortization of internally developed capitalized software. We believe that our core technologies and ongoing innovation represent a significant competitive advantage for us.
We anticipate that we will continue to invest in research and development in order to develop new features and functionality to drive incremental customer value in the future and that research and development expense as a percentage of revenue will modestly increase in the short-term, but will modestly decrease in the long-term as we drive efficiencies in that organization.

44

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of employee-related costs such as salaries, bonuses, equity-based compensation, and other employee related benefits for our executive, finance, legal, human resources, IT, and business operations and administrative teams, as well as overhead costs. Additionally, we incur expenses related to bad debt and collections, as well as for professional fees including legal services, accounting, banking, and other consulting services. General and administrative expenses also include impairment charges associated with our leasing activity. Refer to Note 11 - Leases for further information. We also incur charges associated with litigation settlements, such as the Class Action settlement previously disclosed, which are presented within General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We expect general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue to remain consistent or modestly decrease as we realize operating leverage in the business.
Amortization of other acquired intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles consists of amortization of customer relationships and brand portfolios.
We anticipate that amortization of other acquired intangibles will increase if we make additional acquisitions in the future.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net represents the interest payable on our debt obligations and the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs, less interest income.
We anticipate that interest expense could be impacted by changes in variable interest rates or the issuance of additional debt.
Loss on debt modification and extinguishment
Loss on debt modification and extinguishment consists of prepayment penalties and impairment of deferred financing costs associated with the modification or extinguishment of debt, as well as new fees incurred with third parties in connection with debt modifications.
We anticipate that losses related to debt modification and extinguishment will only occur if we extinguish indebtedness before the contractual repayment dates or amend our existing financing arrangements.
Other income, net
Other income, net consists primarily of the revaluation of TRA liabilities, investment income, and foreign currency realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the impact of transactions denominated in a foreign currency.
Changes to existing tax law including changes to the corporate income tax rates and the Company’s state tax footprint could lead to substantial revaluations of the TRA liability recorded through Other income, net. Additionally, the magnitude of Other income, net may increase as we expand operations internationally and add complexity to our operations. Refer to the Provision (benefit) for income taxes section below for further information.

45

Provision (benefit) for income taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of these future deductible temporary differences, net operating losses and credits by assessing the carryforward period and adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversing taxable temporary differences, future growth, and forecasted earnings, as well as historical earnings, taxable income in prior years, if carryback is permitted under the law, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company has significant U.S. deferred tax assets, including deferred tax assets created by various historical restructuring events. The preponderance of our deferred tax assets have long lives or are otherwise indefinite. We regularly review whether it is more likely than not that our U.S. deferred tax assets will be realizable. As of June 30, 2024, a valuation allowance continues to be recorded against certain state-level attributes.
The value of our deferred tax assets are regularly remeasured to consider the impact of statutory changes and other guidance, as well as changes in our state income apportionment factors. Given the amount of our deferred tax assets, minor changes can materially affect our Provision (benefit) for income taxes. A significant portion of our deferred tax assets are associated with our TRA, and upon a remeasurement of our deferred tax assets, the TRA liability is typically concurrently remeasured with a partially offsetting impact within Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We have regularly taken tax positions, including with respect to our various corporate events and restructurings in the ordinary course of determining our Provision (benefit) for income taxes. We recognize the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority based on the technical merits. We regularly review our tax positions with consideration of a number of factors, including changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law or guidance, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of audits and effective settlement of audit issues. Changes in the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions could result in material increases or decreases in our Provision (benefit) for income taxes in the period in which we make the change, which could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and operating results.

The income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a loss before taxes. The annual effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate due to non-deductible equity compensation costs, U.S. state taxes including the remeasurement of deferred tax assets for the effect of state law changes, foreign taxes, and tax costs accrued for future repatriations of foreign earnings, partially offset by research and development credits. Refer to Note 14 - Income Taxes of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information related to the components of our income tax provision.
Net income (loss). Net loss was $24.4 million for three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $62.5 million or 164%, as compared to net income of $38.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Amortization of other acquired intangibles was $10.8 million, representing a decrease of $0.3 million, or 3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Equity-based compensation expense. Equity-based compensation expense was $67.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $16.4 million, or 20%, as compared to $84.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to lower grant date fair values of grants being amortized in the current period compared to those that were amortized in the prior year, capitalization of equity-based compensation, and terminations.
Income (loss) from operations. Income from operations was $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $102.9 million, or 82%, as compared to $125.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to costs incurred related to the Class Actions, lease impairment and abandonment charges, and the change in accounting estimate of collectibility of accounts receivable. Operating income margin was 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Other income, net. Other income was $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which primarily consists of $7.3 million of investment income, offset by $9.2 million of TRA remeasurement loss, as compared to other income of $21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which primarily consists of $11.2 million of TRA remeasurement gain, and $10.5 million of investment income.
Interest expense, net Interest expense, net was $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 9%, as compared to $21.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the lower interest rates.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $14.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 288.9%, as compared to provision for income taxes of $40.3 million, representing an effective tax rate of 32.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a reduction in income before taxes. The annual effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate due to non-deductible equity compensation costs, U.S. state taxes including the remeasurement of deferred tax assets for the effect of state law changes, foreign taxes, and tax costs accrued for future repatriations of foreign earnings, partially offset by research and development credits. Refer to Note 14 - Income Taxes of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information related to the components of our income tax provision.
Net income (loss).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe certain non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. These measures include, but are not limited to, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income and are used by management in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources, internal planning and forecasting, and for business strategy purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors because it eliminates certain items that affect period-over-period comparability, and it provides consistency with past financial performance and additional information about our underlying results and trends by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook.
We view Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income as operating performance measures. We believe that the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to Adjusted Operating Income is U.S. GAAP operating income. We believe that the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to Adjusted Operating Income Margin is U.S. GAAP operating income divided by U.S. GAAP revenue. We believe that the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is U.S. GAAP Net Income.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures, but rather as supplemental information to our business results. This information should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are limitations to these non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items or events being adjusted. In addition, other companies may use different measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, and Adjusted Net Income
We define Adjusted Operating Income as income (loss) from operations adjusted for, as applicable, (i) the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue, (ii) amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangibles, (iii) equity-based compensation expense, (iv) restructuring and transaction-related expenses, (v) integration costs and acquisition-related expenses, and (vi) legal settlement. We exclude the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue and amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangibles, as well as equity-based compensation, because these are non-cash expenses or non-cash fair value adjustments and we believe that excluding these items provides meaningful supplemental information regarding performance and ongoing cash-generation potential. We exclude restructuring and transaction-related expenses, as well as integration costs and acquisition-related compensation, because such expenses are episodic in nature and have no direct correlation to the cost of operating our business on an ongoing basis. We have also excluded charges associated with the litigation settlement related to the Class Actions previously disclosed because we believe it represents an extraordinary litigation expense outside of our ordinary course of business and is not indicative of our operative performance. Adjusted Operating Income is presented because it is used by management to evaluate our financial performance and for planning and forecasting purposes. Additionally, we believe that it and similar measures are widely used by securities analysts and investors as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance. Adjusted Operating Income should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of operating performance.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for, as applicable, (i) the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue, (ii) loss on debt modification and extinguishment, (iii) amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangibles, (iv) equity-based compensation expense, (v) restructuring and transaction-related expenses, (vi) integration costs and acquisition-related expenses, (vii) legal settlement, (viii) TRA liability remeasurement (benefit) expense, (ix) other (income) loss, net and (x) tax impacts of adjustments to net income (loss). Adjusted Net Income is presented because it is used by management to evaluate our financial performance and for planning and forecasting purposes. Additionally, we believe that it and similar measures are widely used by securities analysts and investors as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance. Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to operating income or net income as indicators of operating performance.

Adjusted Operating Income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $81.6 million and represented an Adjusted Operating Income Margin of 28%. Adjusted Operating Income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $125.6 million and represented an Adjusted Operating Income Margin of 41%. The decrease of $44.0 million, or 35%, in Adjusted Operating Income was primarily due to the change in accounting estimate of collectibility of accounts receivable resulting in both reduced revenues as well as incremental bad debt expense.
Adjusted Operating Income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $200.9 million and represented an Adjusted Operating Income Margin of 33%. Adjusted Operating Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $245.9 million and represented an Adjusted Operating Income Margin of 40%. The decrease of $45.0 million, or 18%, in Adjusted Operating Income was primarily due to the change in accounting estimate of collectibility of accounts receivable resulting in both reduced revenues as well as incremental bad debt expense.

Adjusted Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $66.0 million compared to $106.4 million, representing a decrease of $40.4 million, or 38%, relative to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the change in accounting estimate of collectibility of accounts receivable resulting in both reduced revenues as well as incremental bad debt expense.
Adjusted Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $166.4 million compared to $206.0 million, representing a decrease of $39.6 million, or 19%, relative to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the change in accounting estimate of collectibility of accounts receivable resulting in both reduced revenues as well as incremental bad debt expense.
Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Management further adjusts EBITDA to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, as applicable, including other (income) expense, net, loss on debt modification and extinguishment, impact of certain non-cash items, such as fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue and equity-based compensation, restructuring and transaction-related expenses, integration costs and acquisition-related compensation, and legal settlement. We exclude these items because these are non-cash expenses or non-cash fair value adjustments, which we do not consider indicative of performance and ongoing cash-generation potential or are episodic in nature and have no direct correlation to the cost of operating our business on an ongoing basis. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is used by management to evaluate our financial performance and for planning and forecasting purposes. Additionally, we believe that it and similar measures are widely used by securities analysts and investors as a means of evaluating a company’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to operating income or net income as indicators of operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $87.4 million, a decrease of $43.0 million, or 33%, relative to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the change in accounting estimate of collectibility of accounts receivable resulting in both reduced revenues as well as incremental bad debt expense.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $212.0 million, a decrease of $43.5 million, or 17%, relative to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the change in accounting estimate of collectibility of accounts receivable resulting in both reduced revenues as well as incremental bad debt expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had $385.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, $13.4 million of short-term investments, and $250.0 million available under our first lien revolving credit facility. We have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and financed various acquisitions through cash generated from operations supplemented with debt offerings.
We believe that our cash flows from operations and existing available cash and cash equivalents, together with our other available external financing sources, will be adequate to fund our operating and capital needs for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future. We are currently in compliance with the covenants under the credit agreements governing our secured credit facilities, and we expect to remain in compliance with our covenants.
We generally invoice our subscription customers annually, semi-annually, or quarterly in advance of our subscription services. Therefore, a substantial source of our cash is from such prepayments, which are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as unearned revenue. Unearned revenue consists of billed fees for our subscriptions, prior to satisfying the criteria for revenue recognition, which are subsequently recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of June 30, 2024, we had unearned revenue of $440.4 million, of which $438.9 million was recorded as a current liability and is expected to be recorded as revenue in the next 12 months, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability, and overall liquidity are subject to risks and uncertainties. We may not be able to obtain additional liquidity on reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, our liquidity and our ability to meet our obligations and to fund our capital requirements are dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, and other factors that are beyond our control. Accordingly, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and future borrowings may not be available from additional indebtedness or otherwise to meet our liquidity needs. If we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell additional equity to finance such acquisitions, which would result in additional expenses or dilution. See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K.

Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $242.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of net loss of $9.3 million, adjusted by non-cash charges of $242.6 million and the net change in our operating and liabilities of $8.9 million. The non-cash charges are primarily comprised of equity-based compensation of $67.6 million, asset impairments and lease abandonment charges of $48.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $40.9 million, amortization of deferred commission costs of $33.6 million, provision for bad debt expense of $32.5 million, TRA remeasurement of $9.2 million, and a decrease in deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities of $8.3 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $49.6 million and an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $18.3 million, partially offset by an increase in deferred costs and other assets of $35.5 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $15.1 million.
Net cash provided by operations was $225.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of net income of $82.6 million, adjusted by non-cash charges of $209.1 million and the net change in our operating assets and liabilities of $66.5 million. The non-cash charges are primarily comprised of equity-based compensation of $84.0 million, a decrease in deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities of $42.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $40.7 million, amortization of deferred commission costs of $38.3 million, and provision for bad debt expense of $11.3 million, partially offset by TRA remeasurement of $11.2 million. The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of an increase in deferred costs and other assets of $39.2 million, a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $28.5 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $12.7 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $11.0 million, partially offset by an increase in unearned revenue of $23.2 million.
We may make future acquisitions as part of our business strategy which may require the use of capital resources and drive additional future restructuring and transaction-related cash expenditures as well as integration and acquisition-related compensation cash costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, we incurred the following cash expenditures:

(2)Represents cash payments directly associated with integration activities for acquisitions and acquisition-related compensation, which includes transaction bonuses and retention awards. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, these payments related to deferred compensation from the acquisition of Insent. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, these payments related to retention compensation from the Insent acquisition.

Future demands on our capital resources associated with our debt facilities may also be impacted by changes in reference interest rates and the potential that we incur additional debt in order to fund additional acquisitions or for other corporate purposes. Future demands on our capital resources associated with transaction expenses and restructuring activities and integration costs and transaction-related compensation will be dependent on the frequency and magnitude of future acquisitions and restructuring and integration activities that we pursue. As part of our business strategy, we expect to continue to pursue acquisitions of, or investments in, complementary businesses from time to time; however, we cannot predict the magnitude or frequency of such acquisitions or investments.
Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $44.6 million, primarily consisting of maturities of short-term investments of $69.0 million, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment and other assets of $23.9 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $33.0 million, consisting of purchases of short-term investments of $114.7 million, purchases of property and equipment and other assets of $12.6 million, offset by maturities of short-term investments of $94.3 million.
As we continue to grow and invest in our business, we expect to continue to invest in property and equipment and opportunistically pursue acquisitions.

Debt Obligations
As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate remaining balance of $650.0 million of 3.875% Senior Notes is due, in its entirety, at the contractual maturity date of February 1, 2029. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears beginning on August 1, 2021. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has a remaining balance of $591.0 million with respect to its first lien term loans. The Company is obligated to make principal payments each quarter in the amount of 0.25% of the aggregate outstanding amount as of the latest amendment, with the remaining balance due at the contractual maturity date of February 28, 2030. The foregoing currently represent the only existing required future debt principal repayment obligations that will require future uses of the Company’s cash.
The first lien term debt has a variable interest rate whereby the Company can elect to use a Base Rate or SOFR plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate is 0.75% for Base Rate loans or 1.75% for SOFR loans. The effective interest rate on the first lien debt was 7.30% and 7.83% as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The first lien revolving credit facility, which had no amount outstanding as of June 30, 2024, has a variable interest rate whereby the Company can elect to use a Base Rate or SOFR plus an applicable rate. The applicable margin is 1.00% to 1.25% for Base Rate loans. The applicable margin for SOFR loans is 2.10% to 2.35%, which includes the credit spread adjustment of 0.1%, depending on the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio.
Our total net leverage ratio to Adjusted EBITDA is defined as total contractual maturity of outstanding indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments, divided by trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended June 30, 2024 was $474.7 million. Our total net leverage ratio to Adjusted EBITDA as of June 30, 2024 was 1.8x.

Our consolidated first lien net leverage ratio is defined in the agreement governing our existing first lien credit facilities (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) as total contractual maturity of outstanding First Lien indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, divided by trailing twelve months Cash EBITDA (defined as Consolidated EBITDA in our Credit Agreements). Cash EBITDA differs from Adjusted EBITDA due to certain defined add-backs, including cash generated from changes in unearned revenue; see table below for reconciliation. Cash EBITDA for the 12 months ended June 30, 2024 was $475.3 million. Our consolidated first lien net leverage ratio as of June 30, 2024 was 0.4x.

In addition, the credit agreement governing our first lien term loan contains restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interest. These restrictive covenants include, among others, limitations on our ability to pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, capital stock, prepay, redeem, or repurchase certain debt, make acquisitions, investments, loans, and advances, or sell or otherwise dispose of assets. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of substantially all of our debt. The Company may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the credit agreements governing our first lien term loan limit, but do not prohibit, the Company from incurring additional indebtedness, and the additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. These restrictions will also not prevent the Company from incurring obligations that do not constitute “Indebtedness” as defined in the agreements governing our indebtedness.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures increased by $11.3 million, or 90%, to $23.9 million for six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of increased expenditures related to new facilities and increased capitalization of development expenses.
Tax Receivable Agreements
For information related to our TRA, refer to Note 17 - Tax Receivable Agreements in our 2023 Form 10-K.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a liability of $2,795.5 million related to its projected obligations under the TRA. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, $31.6 million was paid to TRA holders pursuant to the TRA. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, no payment was made pursuant to the TRA.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of June 30, 2024, we had additional operating leases for office space that have not yet commenced with anticipated undiscounted future lease payments of $71.2 million. Refer to Note 11 - Leases of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details. In July 2024, the Company executed a termination agreement with the landlord. Pursuant to the amended lease agreement with respect to Waltham, Massachusetts, the Company made a payment of $59.1 million. Refer to Note 15 - Subsequent Events of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Except as set forth above and in Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in the contractual obligations and commitments disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies and estimates are those accounting policies and estimates that are both the most important to the portrayal of our net assets and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates are developed based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates are accounting estimates where the nature of the estimates is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and the impact of the estimates on financial condition or operating performance is material.

60

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2023 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 1 - Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have operations in the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of business.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material direct effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Our business, financial condition, or results of operations may be impacted by macroeconomic conditions, including underlying factors such as inflation. See “Risk Factors - Geopolitical Risks” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K for further discussion of the possible impact of these issues on our business. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset higher costs through price increases and our inability or failure to do so could potentially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
Our operating results are subject to market risk from interest rate fluctuations on our first lien term loan, which bears a variable interest rate based on SOFR. As of June 30, 2024, the total principal balance outstanding was $591.0 million. We have implemented a hedging strategy to mitigate the interest rate risk by entering into certain derivative instruments (refer to Note 6 - Financing Arrangements of our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). Based on the outstanding balances and interest rates of our debt as of June 30, 2024, a hypothetical relative increase or decrease in our effective interest rate by 100 basis points or 1% would have caused an immaterial corresponding change over the next 12 months.
Additionally, from time to time, we have dedesignated certain cash flow hedging relationships due to repricing of the terms and partial prepayment of the outstanding principal of our first lien term loan since loan inception. As of June 30, 2024, all cash flow hedging relationships are designated as accounting hedges.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
To date, our sales contracts have primarily been denominated in U.S. dollars. We have foreign entities established in Israel, Canada, United Kingdom, India, and Australia. The functional currency of these foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. A stronger U.S. dollar could make our solution more expensive outside the United States and therefore reduce demand, while a weaker U.S. dollar could have the opposite effect. Such economic exposure to currency fluctuations is difficult to measure or predict because our sales are influenced by many factors in addition to the impact of currency fluctuations.
To manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk and to reduce the volatility associated with the fluctuation of foreign currencies, we may use foreign exchange forward contracts or other financial instruments from time to time. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company initiated a foreign currency hedging program (see Note 7 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities). This program aimed to mitigate potential adverse effects on our financial results from significant currency movements.
Monetary assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are re-measured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the reporting date, non-monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured at historical rates, and revenue and expenses are re-measured at average exchange rates in effect during each reporting period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded to Other income, net. Although the impact of currency fluctuations on our financial results has been immaterial in the past and we believe that for the reasons cited above, currency fluctuations will not be significant in the future, there can be no guarantee that the impact of currency fluctuations or our hedging activities will not be material in the future.

Credit Risk
Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. We hold cash with reputable financial institutions that often exceed federally insured limits. We manage our credit risk by concentrating our cash deposits with multiple high-quality financial institutions and periodically evaluating the credit quality of those institutions. The carrying value of cash approximates fair value. Our investment portfolio is comprised of highly rated securities with a weighted-average maturity of less than 12 months in accordance with our investment policy which seeks to preserve principal and maintain a high degree of liquidity.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance that information to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures were developed through a process in which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

63

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
