•intentions regarding our international earnings;

•expectations regarding our capital expenditures;

•our beliefs regarding the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and borrowing capacity; and

•expectations regarding our spin-off from SolarWinds Corporation (“SolarWinds”) into a newly created and separately traded public company.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially and adversely different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the following:

•the impact of adverse economic conditions;

•our ability to sell subscriptions to new customers, to sell additional solutions to our existing customers and to increase the usage of our solutions by our existing customers, as well as our ability to generate and maintain customer loyalty;

•any decline in our renewal or net retention rates;

•the possibility that general economic, political, legal and regulatory conditions and uncertainty may cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed, including as a result of inflation, actions taken by central banks to counter inflation, rising interest rates, war and political unrest, military conflict (including between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East), terrorism, sanctions, trade or other issues in the U.S. and internationally, or that such factors may otherwise harm our business, financial condition or results of operations;

•recent significant changes to U.S. trade policies and reciprocal trade measures enacted or threatened, which have led and may continue to lead to volatility and uncertainty, including increased market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may also cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed;

•any inability to generate significant volumes of high-quality sales leads from our digital marketing initiatives and convert such leads into new business at acceptable conversion rates;

•any inability to successfully identify, complete and integrate acquisitions and manage our growth effectively;

•any inability to resell third-party software or integrate third-party software into our solutions, or find suitable replacements for such third-party software;

•risks that cyberattacks, including the cyberattack on SolarWinds’ Orion Software Platform and internal systems announced by SolarWinds in December 2020 (the “Cyber Incident”), and other security incidents may result in compromises or breaches of our, our customers’, or their SMB and mid-market customers’ systems, the insertion of malicious code, malware, ransomware or other vulnerabilities into our, our customers’, or their SMB and mid-market customers’ environments, the exploitation of vulnerabilities in our, our customers’, or their SMB and mid-market customers’ security, the theft or misappropriation of our, our customers’, or their SMB and mid-market customers’ proprietary and confidential information, and interference with our, our customers’, or their SMB and mid-market customers’ operations, exposure to legal and other liabilities, higher customer and employee attrition and the loss of key personnel, negative impacts to our sales, renewals and upgrades and reputational harm and other serious negative consequences, any or all of which could materially harm our business;

•our status as a controlled company;

•our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel;

•the timing and success of new product introductions and product upgrades by us or our competitors;

•our ability to maintain or grow our brands, including the Adlumin brand;

•our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property and not infringe upon others’ intellectual property;

•the possibility that our operating income could fluctuate and may decline as a percentage of revenue as we make further expenditures to expand our operations in order to support growth in our business;

•our indebtedness, including increased borrowing costs resulting from rising interest rates, potential restrictions on our operations and the impact of events of default;

•our ability to operate our business internationally and increase sales of our solutions to our customers located outside of the United States;

•risks related to our spin-off from SolarWinds into a newly created and separately-traded public company, including that the spin-off may not achieve some or all of any anticipated benefits with respect to our business; that the distribution, together with certain related transactions, may not qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could result in N-able incurring significant tax liabilities, and, in certain circumstances, requiring us to indemnify SolarWinds for material taxes and other related amounts pursuant to indemnification obligations under the tax matters agreement; and

•such other risks and uncertainties described more fully in documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Description of Business

N-able, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is a leading global provider of cloud-based security, data protection, and unified endpoint management software solutions for IT services providers, including managed service providers (“MSPs”). Our powerful technology enables them to support digital transformation and growth for small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) and mid-market businesses, which we define as those businesses having fewer than 2,500 employees. With a flexible technology platform and powerful integrations, N-able makes it easy for our customers to monitor, manage, and protect systems, data, and networks. Our growing portfolio of management, security, automation, and data protection solutions is built for IT services management professionals. In addition, we provide extensive, proactive support—through enriching partner programs, hands-on training, and growth resources—to help our customers deliver exceptional value and achieve success at scale. Through our multi-dimensional land and expand model and global presence, we have been able to drive strong recurring revenue growth and profitability.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, referred to as our “2024 Annual Report.”

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include:

•the valuation of goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets;

•the valuation of contingent consideration;

•revenue recognition; and

•income taxes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. The amendments also require companies with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by this amendment and all existing segment disclosures in ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this standard as of December 31, 2024. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and only impacted our disclosures. See Note 12. Operating Segments and Geographic Information for disclosures related to the adoption of this standard.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The updated guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. We do not believe this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements. The updated guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Money Market Fund Financial Assets

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have money market fund financial assets of $54.5 million and $44.0 million, respectively, which are included in “cash and cash equivalents” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See “Fair Value Measurements” below and Note 6. Fair Value Measurements for further details regarding the fair value measurements of our money market fund financial assets.

Fair Value Measurements

We apply the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities, such as our money market fund financial assets and contingent consideration liabilities, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and non-financial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The guidance establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible by us.

Level 2: Inputs that are observable in the marketplace other than those inputs classified as Level 1.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace and significant to the valuation.

The carrying amounts reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate fair value due to relatively short periods to maturity. See Note 6. Fair Value Measurements for a summary of our financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of our outstanding debt approximates its estimated fair value as the interest rate on the debt is adjusted for changes in market rates. See Note 8. Debt for further details regarding our debt.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations from annually billed subscription agreements and maintenance services associated with our historical sales of perpetual license products which are delivered over time. Certain of our maintenance agreements are billed annually in advance for services to be performed over a 12-month period. We initially record the amounts allocated to maintenance performance obligations as deferred revenue and recognize these amounts ratably on a daily basis over the term of the maintenance agreement.

The following table reflects the changes in our total deferred revenue balance for the three months ended March 31, 2025:


	Total Deferred Revenue

Contract Assets

Timing may differ between the satisfaction of performance obligations and the invoicing and collection of amounts related to our contracts with customers. Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts for contracts with customers for which the amount of revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the right to invoice becomes unconditional. Contract assets are recorded as current if the invoice will be delivered to the

customer within the succeeding 12-month period, with the remaining recorded as long-term. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we began increasing the proportion of our subscriptions that are long-term committed contracts, as compared to month-to-month contracts (the “Long-Term Contract Initiative”). The Long-Term Contract Initiative results in an increase in point in time subscription revenue, primarily due to the impact of revenue recognition for long-term committed contracts under Topic 606, net of any volume and pricing rationalization when committing to long-term subscriptions and any fluctuations in month-to-month contracts. In connection with the Long-Term Contract Initiative, there was a corresponding increase in contract assets. Current contract assets were $9.9 million and $12.8 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Non-current contract assets were $4.3 million and $3.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in other non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Capitalized Commissions

We recognize as an asset the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect to recover those costs, and amortize the asset in accordance with the pattern of transfer of goods and services to which the asset relates. ASC 606 defines the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as the costs that an entity incurs in its efforts to obtain a contract that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained.

We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. For long-term committed contracts, including those under the Long-Term Contract Initiative, we expect that commission fees paid to sales representatives as a result of obtaining these contracts are recoverable and are therefore capitalized. Current capitalized commissions were $1.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in “prepaid and other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Non-current capitalized commissions were $2.2 million and $2.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in “other non-current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years, and are included in “sales and marketing” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recognized amortization of capitalized commissions of $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. We recognized no amortization of capitalized commissions during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Remaining Performance Obligations

We expect to recognize revenue related to remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2025, as follows:

Adlumin, Inc.

On November 20, 2024, we acquired Adlumin, Inc. (“Adlumin”) a Washington, D.C. based enterprise-grade security operations platform provider. The acquisition was structured as a merger transaction pursuant to which Adlumin became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. The aggregate consideration payable at closing of the transaction included $98.7 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments and funded with cash on hand, and the issuance of up to 1,570,762 shares of our common stock. Additionally, the former Adlumin shareholders have the right to receive $120.0 million in cash in installments of $52.5 million and $67.5 million on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, and up to an aggregate of $30.0 million in potential cash earn-out payments payable in 2025 and 2026 based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years.

The acquisition is intended to build upon our prior partnership with Adlumin providing extended detection and response (“XDR”) capabilities and managed detection and response (“MDR”) services, and allow us to incorporate Adlumin’s innovative technology with our industry-leading platform that combines security, unified endpoint management, and data protection solutions. We incurred net transaction related costs of $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in general and administrative expense. Goodwill and acquired identifiable intangible assets for this acquisition are not deductible for tax purposes. There were no measurement period adjustments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and the measurement period will conclude as of November 19, 2025.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The results of operations related to Adlumin since the acquisition date are included in our Consolidated Financial Statements during the year ended December 31, 2024. As noted above, total consideration includes the former Adlumin shareholders’ right to receive $120.0 million in cash in installments of $52.5 million and $67.5 million on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, and up to an aggregate of $30.0 million in potential cash earn-out payments payable in 2025 and 2026 based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. Of the $120.0 million of deferred consideration, $7.0 million and $7.8 million are contingent upon certain employees’ continued employment on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively. These amounts are accounted for as compensation expense for post-combination services. The deferred and contingent consideration liabilities will be reevaluated periodically, but at least quarterly, to assess the impact of the passage of time, continued employment, and achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets, as applicable. The resulting gains or additional expense related to the passage of time are recognized within interest expense, net and the resulting gains or additional expense related to continued employment and achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets are recognized within general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the deferred consideration was $96.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the deferred consideration was $98.1 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the deferred consideration is $101.8 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The current portion of the deferred consideration of $46.1 million, of which $2.2 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “current deferred consideration” and the non-current portion of $55.7 million, of which $1.2 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “non-current deferred consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. The current portion of the deferred consideration of $44.5 million, of which $0.8 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “current deferred consideration” and the non-current portion of $53.7 million, of which $0.4 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “non-current deferred consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $16.6 million. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $14.1 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the contingent consideration is $14.8 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The contingent consideration is included in “current contingent consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. The current portion of the contingent consideration of $5.5 million is included in “current contingent consideration” and the non-current portion of $8.6 million is included in “other long-term liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024.

N-able, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

traded public company, and separate into two distinct, publicly traded companies (the “Separation”). On July 19, 2021, SolarWinds completed the Separation through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the outstanding shares of our common stock it held to the stockholders of record of SolarWinds as of the close of business on July 12, 2021. As a result of the Distribution, we became an independent public company and our common stock is listed under the symbol “NABL” on the New York Stock Exchange.

Equity-Based Incentive Plans

Prior to the Separation and Distribution, certain of our employees participated in Parent’s equity-based incentive plans. Under the SolarWinds Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), our employees, consultants, directors, managers and advisors were awarded stock-based incentive awards in a number of forms, including non-qualified stock options. The ability to grant any future equity awards under the 2016 Plan terminated in October 2018. Under the SolarWinds Corporation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, our employees were eligible to be awarded stock-based incentive awards, including non-statutory stock options or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other cash-based or share-based awards. Awards granted to our employees under the Parent incentive plans generally vested over periods ranging from one to five years. We measure stock-based compensation for all stock-based incentive awards at fair value on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards.

In connection with the Separation and Distribution, all of the vested and outstanding and unvested SolarWinds equity awards held by our employees were converted to N-able awards (the “Conversion”). The modification of these equity awards resulted in incremental compensation expense to the extent the estimated fair value of the awards immediately following the modification exceeded the estimated fair value of the awards immediately prior to the modification. This expense is to be recognized upfront for all vested and outstanding awards and over the remaining vesting term for all unvested awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of incremental expense in connection with the Conversion. We include stock-based compensation expense in operating expense (general and administrative, sales and marketing and research and development) and cost of revenue on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the nature of the employee’s role in our operations.

Agreements with SolarWinds

In connection with the completion of the Separation and Distribution on July 19, 2021, we entered into several agreements with SolarWinds that, among other things, provide a framework for our relationship with SolarWinds after the Separation and Distribution. The following summarizes some of the most significant agreements and relationships with SolarWinds.

Separation and Distribution Agreement

The Separation and Distribution Agreement sets forth our agreements with SolarWinds regarding the principal actions taken in connection with the Separation and Distribution. It also sets forth other agreements that govern aspects of our relationship with SolarWinds following the Separation and Distribution, including (i) the manner in which legal matters and claims are allocated and certain liabilities are shared between N-able and SolarWinds; (ii) other matters including transfers of assets and liabilities, treatment or termination of intercompany arrangements and the settlement or extinguishment of certain liabilities and other obligations between N-able and SolarWinds; and (iii) mutual indemnification clauses. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also provides that SolarWinds will be liable and obligated to indemnify us for all liabilities based upon, arising out of, or relating to the Cyber Incident other than certain specified expenses for which we will be responsible. The term of the Separation and Distribution Agreement is indefinite and it may only be terminated with the prior written consent of both N-able and SolarWinds.

Tax Matters Agreement

We entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with SolarWinds that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. No costs were incurred under the Tax Matters Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Software OEM Agreements

We entered into Software OEM Agreements with SolarWinds pursuant to which SolarWinds granted to N-able, and N-able granted to SolarWinds, a non-exclusive and royalty-bearing license to market, advertise, distribute and sublicense certain SolarWinds and N-able software products, respectively, to customers on a worldwide basis. Each agreement had a two-year term, and each agreement was renewed for an additional two-year term during the year ended December 31, 2023. We earned $0.5 million and $0.4 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and incurred less than $0.1 million of costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, under the Software OEM Agreements.

Employee Matters Agreement

N-able, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

We entered into an Employee Matters Agreement with SolarWinds that governs N-able's and SolarWinds’ compensation and employee benefit obligations with respect to the employees and other service providers of each company, and generally allocated liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters and employee compensation and benefit plans and programs. No costs were incurred under the Employee Matters Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Intellectual Property Matters Agreement

We entered into an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement with SolarWinds pursuant to which each party granted to the other party a generally irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free license to use certain intellectual property rights retained by the other party. Under the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement, the term for the licensed or sublicensed know-how is perpetual and the term for each licensed or sublicensed patent is until expiration of the last valid claim of such patent. The Intellectual Property Matters Agreement will terminate only if N-able and SolarWinds agree in writing to terminate it. No costs were incurred under the Intellectual Property Matters Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Trademark License Agreement

We entered into a Trademark License Agreement with SolarWinds pursuant to which SolarWinds granted to N-able a generally limited, worldwide, non-exclusive and royalty-free license to use certain trademarks retained by SolarWinds that were used by SolarWinds in the conduct of its business prior to the Separation and Distribution. The Trademark License Agreement will terminate once we cease to use all of the licensed trademarks. No costs were incurred under the Trademark License Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Software Cross License Agreement

We entered into a Software Cross License Agreement with SolarWinds pursuant to which each party granted to the other party a generally perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide and, subject to certain exceptions, royalty-free license to certain software libraries and internal tools for limited uses. The term of the Software Cross License Agreement will be perpetual unless N-able and SolarWinds agree in writing to terminate the agreement. We earned no revenue and less than $0.1 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and incurred less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million of costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, under the Software Cross License Agreement.

Sublease Agreement

We entered into a Sublease Agreement with SolarWinds for our office space in Austin, Texas. We incurred operating lease costs of $0.2 million under the Sublease Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In connection with the Separation and Distribution, on July 19, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including N-able International Holdings I, Inc. (as guarantor) and N-able International Holdings II, Inc. (as borrower), entered into the Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto. N-able International Holdings I, LLC is a holding company with no other operations, cash flows, material assets or liabilities other than the equity interests in N-able International Holdings II, LLC. The Credit Agreement provides for $410.0 million of first lien secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”), consisting of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), and a $350.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). On July 19, 2021, prior to the completion of the Distribution, the Company distributed approximately $16.5 million, representing a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan, net of the repayment of related party debt due to SolarWinds Holdings, Inc., payment of intercompany trade payables, and fees and other transaction related expenses, to SolarWinds. The Revolving Facility will primarily be available for general corporate purposes.

In addition to paying interest on loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum in respect of unused commitments thereunder, subject to a reduction to 0.25% per annum based on our first lien net leverage ratio.

The Term Loan requires quarterly repayments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, commencing in December 2021 through June 2028. The final maturity dates of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan are July 18, 2026 and July 18, 2028, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell or transfer assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; prepay certain junior indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and enter into negative pledge agreements. In addition, the Revolving Facility is subject to a financial covenant requiring compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 7.50 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, which will trigger when loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility exceed 35% of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including, among others, failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants; cross events of default; certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; certain ERISA events; certain undischarged judgments; and change of control.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement.

The following table summarizes the remaining future minimum principal payments under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025:

The dilutive impact of employee equity awards was not applicable to the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The following weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of the diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive or for which the performance condition had not been met at the end of the period:

10. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded income tax expense of $3.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of (85.4)% and 43.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the amount of the unbenefited loss in the United States, partially offset by a decrease in income taxes on income outside of the United States.

Our policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released model rules for a global minimum tax known as Pillar Two. Under such rules, a minimum effective tax rate of 15% would apply to multinational companies with consolidated revenues above €750 million. Although we operate in one or more jurisdictions that have substantively enacted Pillar Two legislation, we have not exceeded the revenue threshold of €750 million, and as such, we do not expect to be subject to the Pillar Two rules in 2025.

We file U.S., state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2021 through 2024 tax years generally remain open and subject to examination by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. We are currently under examination by the IRS for the tax years 2013 through the period ending February 2016. A Form 870-AD was signed

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

with the Internal Revenue Service on January 22, 2025 related to tax years 2013 through the period ending February 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we finalized a settlement agreement with the IRS for the tax years 2011 to 2012. We are currently under audit by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue for the 2015 through February 2016 tax years, and the Texas Comptroller for the 2015 through 2018 tax years. We are currently under audit by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) for the tax years 2021 and 2022.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we have been and may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in our ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of any pending claims (either individually or in the aggregate) is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, cash flows or financial position. However, the outcome of disputes is inherently uncertain. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, an unfavorable resolution of one or more matters could materially affect our future results of operations or cash flows, or both, in a particular period.

Commitments as a Result of Acquisitions

As part of the consideration payable for our November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin, the former shareholders of Adlumin have the right to receive $120.0 million in cash in installments of $52.5 million and $67.5 million on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively, and up to an aggregate of $30.0 million in potential cash earn-out payments payable in 2025 and 2026 based upon the achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets for the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. Of the $120.0 million of deferred consideration, $7.0 million and $7.8 million are contingent upon certain employees’ continued employment on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively. These amounts are accounted for as compensation expense for post-combination services. The deferred and contingent consideration liabilities will be reevaluated periodically, but at least quarterly, to assess the impact of the passage of time, continued employment, and achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets, as applicable. The resulting gains or additional expense related to the passage of time are recognized within interest expense, net and the resulting gains or additional expense related to continued employment and achievement of certain performance metrics against defined targets are recognized within general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the deferred consideration was $96.3 million. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the deferred consideration was $98.1 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the deferred consideration is $101.8 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The current portion of the deferred consideration of $46.1 million, of which $2.2 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “current deferred consideration” and the non-current portion of $55.7 million, of which $1.2 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “non-current deferred consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. The current portion of the deferred consideration of $44.5 million, of which $0.8 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “current deferred consideration” and the non-current portion of $53.7 million, of which $0.4 million is contingent upon continued employment, is included in “non-current deferred consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $16.6 million. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $14.1 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the contingent consideration is $14.8 million, resulting in the recognition of expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The contingent consideration is included in “current contingent consideration” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. The current portion of the contingent consideration of $5.5 million is included in “current contingent consideration” and the non-current portion of $8.6 million is included in “other long-term liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024.

On December 14, 2022, we completed the acquisition of certain assets, primarily in the form of intellectual property, from a third party for a total consideration of up to $6.5 million, including $3.1 million of cash paid on the acquisition date, $1.0 million of product delivery fees and up to $2.5 million payable upon the achievement of certain software engineering and knowledge transfer milestones. The total consideration of $6.5 million has been capitalized as costs to obtain internal-use computer software from third parties and will be amortized over an estimated useful life of three years, beginning when the related technology is deemed ready for its intended use, in accordance with our policy for the capitalization of internal-use software costs. The $2.5 million of contingent consideration was deemed to be the total value of technology not ready for its intended use as of the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2023, $1.5 million of cash was paid due to the achievement of two of the software engineering and knowledge transfer milestones, with the related technology deemed ready for its intended use. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, $1.0 million of cash was paid due to the achievement of the final software engineering and knowledge transfer milestones, with the related technology deemed ready for its intended use. There is no remaining contingent consideration related to this acquisition as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and no gains or losses on the contingent consideration were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note 7. Accrued Liabilities and Other for further details regarding our contingent consideration liabilities.

On July 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all the outstanding equity of Spinpanel for a total consideration of up to approximately $20.0 million, including up to $10.0 million payable upon the achievement of certain revenue metrics through July 1, 2025. The contingent consideration liability is re-evaluated at least quarterly, with the resulting gains and losses recognized within general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $5.2 million at the date of acquisition, $3.7 million as of December 31, 2023, and $2.2 million as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there is no remaining contingent consideration liability. We recognized a gain of $1.4 million on the contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2024. See Note 3. Acquisitions, Note 6. Fair Value Measurements, and Note 7. Accrued Liabilities and Other for further details regarding our contingent consideration liabilities.

12. Operating Segments and Geographic Information

Operating Segments

N-able, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Our chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. As our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer manages the business as a multi-product business that utilizes its model to deliver software products to customers regardless of their geography or IT environment. Operating results, including discrete financial information and profitability metrics, are reviewed at the consolidated entity level for purposes of making resource allocation decisions and for evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, we consider ourselves to be in a single operating and reportable segment structure.

As we operate in a single operating and reportable segment structure, our CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net (loss) income, as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, among other metrics. There is no expense or asset information, that are supplemental to those disclosed in these consolidated financial statements, that are regularly provided to the CODM. Our CODM uses consolidated net (loss) income to assess performance for the segment by reviewing actual performance against internal forecasts and historical performance. Since we operate as one operating segment, financial segment information, including profit or loss, can be found in our Consolidated Financial Statements. While not presented separately within our Consolidated Financial Statements, our consolidated net (loss) income includes depreciation expense of $4.2 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and amortization expense of $6.2 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Geographic Information

We base revenue by geography on the shipping address of each customer. Other than the United States and the United Kingdom, no single country accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following tables set forth revenue by geographic area:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Please see the section entitled “Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement” above and the risk factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. The following discussion and analysis also includes a discussion of certain non-GAAP financial measures. For a description and reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures discussed in this section, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Overview

N-able, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“Company”, “we,” “us” and “our”) is a leading global provider of cloud-based security, data protection, and unified endpoint management software solutions for IT services providers, including managed service providers (“MSPs”). Our powerful technology enables them to support digital transformation and growth for small and medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) and mid-market businesses, which we define as those businesses having fewer than 2,500 employees. With a flexible technology platform and powerful integrations, N-able makes it easy for our customers to monitor, manage, and protect systems, data, and networks. Our growing portfolio of management, security, automation, and data protection solutions is built for IT services management professionals. In addition, we provide extensive, proactive support—through enriching partner programs, hands-on training, and growth resources—to help our customers deliver exceptional value and achieve success at scale. Through our multi-dimensional land and expand model and global presence, we have been able to drive strong recurring revenue growth and profitability.

On August 6, 2020, SolarWinds Corporation (“SolarWinds” or “Parent”) announced that its board of directors had authorized management to explore a potential spin-off of its MSP business into our company, a newly created and separately traded public company, and separate into two distinct, publicly traded companies (the “Separation”). On July 19, 2021, SolarWinds completed the Separation through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the outstanding shares of our common stock it held to the stockholders of record of SolarWinds as of the close of business on July 12, 2021. As a result of the Distribution, we became an independent public company and our common stock is listed under the symbol “NABL” on the New York Stock Exchange.

On December 14, 2020, SolarWinds announced that it had been the victim of a cyberattack (the “Cyber Incident”) on its Orion Software Platform and internal systems. SolarWinds’ investigation revealed that as part of this attack, malicious code (“Sunburst”) was injected into builds of SolarWinds’ Orion Software Platform that it released between March 2020 and June 2020. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, SolarWinds Cyber Incident" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of the Cyber Incident.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenue

Our total revenue was $118.2 million and $113.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we began increasing the proportion of our subscriptions that are long-term committed contracts, as compared to month-to-month contracts (the “Long-Term Contract Initiative”). Under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”),” we recognize revenue for long-term subscriptions when the distinct license is made available to the customer, and support revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Revenue from the license performance obligation of our self-managed solutions is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the access to the licenses and revenue from the performance obligation related to the technical support and unspecified software upgrades of our subscription-based license arrangements is recognized ratably over the agreement period. The Long-Term Contract Initiative results in an increase in point in time subscription revenue, primarily due to the impact of revenue recognition for long-term committed contracts under Topic 606, net of any volume and pricing rationalization when committing to long-term subscriptions and any fluctuations in month-to-month contracts. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding revenue recognized from subscription and other services at a point in time and over time.

Annual Recurring Revenue

Total annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) as of March 31, 2025 was $492.7 million, compared to $446.6 million as of March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 10.3%. This increase was primarily due to steady demand for our solutions and the impact of the November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin.

As of March 31, 2025, we had 2,398 customers with ARR over $50,000 on our platform, up from 2,187 as of March 31, 2024, representing an increase of 9.6%. Over the same period, customers with over $50,000 of ARR on our platform grew from approximately 56% of our total ARR as of March 31, 2024 to approximately 58% of our total ARR as of March 31, 2025.

We calculate ARR by annualizing the recurring revenue and related usage revenue inclusive of discounts, excluding the impacts of credits and reserves, recognized during the last day of the reporting period from both long-term and month-to-month subscriptions. We use ARR, and in particular ARR attributable to customers with over $50,000 of ARR, to enhance the understanding of our business performance and the growth of our relationships with our customers.

Profitability

Our operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.8 million, compared to operating income of $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $7.2 million compared to net income of $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expense, an increase in cost of revenue, an increase in sales and marketing expense, an increase in amortization of acquired technologies, an increase in research and development expense, and an increase in amortization of acquired intangibles, partially offset by an increase in revenue, a decrease in income tax expense, a decrease in interest expense, net, and an increase in other income, net. Our Adjusted EBITDA, calculated as net (loss) income of $(7.2) million and $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and developed technology of $6.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, depreciation expense of $4.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, income tax expense of $3.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively, interest expense, net of $7.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively, unrealized foreign currency (gains) losses of $(0.8) million and $0.8 million, respectively, transaction related costs of $6.3 million and $(1.4) million, respectively, spin-off costs of $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes of $12.7 million and $13.0 million, respectively, and restructuring costs and other of $(0.1) million and $0.6 million, respectively, was $31.6 million and $39.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For a description and reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures discussed in this section, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Cash Flow

We have built our business to generate strong cash flow over the long term. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, cash flows from operations were $19.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Our cash flows from operations were reduced by cash payments for interest of $6.4 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and cash payments for income taxes of $2.2 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue consists of the following:

•Subscription Revenue. We primarily derive subscription revenue from the sale of subscriptions to the SaaS solutions that we host and manage on our platform. Our subscriptions provide access to the latest versions of our software platform, technical support and unspecified software upgrades and updates. Subscription revenue for our SaaS solutions is generally recognized ratably over the subscription term once the service is made available to the customer or when we have the right to invoice for services performed. In addition, our subscription revenue includes sales of our self-managed solutions, which are hosted and managed by our customers. Subscriptions of our self-managed solutions include term licenses, technical support and unspecified software upgrades. Revenue from the license performance obligation of our self-managed solutions is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the access to the licenses and revenue from the performance obligation related to the technical support and unspecified software upgrades of our subscription-based license arrangements is recognized ratably over the agreement period. We generally invoice subscription agreements monthly based on usage or in advance over the subscription period on either a monthly or annual basis.

•Other Revenue. Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from the sale of our maintenance services associated with the historical sales of perpetual licenses and revenue from professional services. MSP customers with maintenance agreements are entitled to receive technical support and unspecified upgrades or enhancements to new versions of their solutions on a when-and-if-available basis for the specified agreement period.

Cost of Revenue

•Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists of public cloud infrastructure and hosting fees, an allocation of overhead costs for our subscription revenue and maintenance services, royalty fees, and personnel costs for technical support and our security operations center. We allocate facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs based on headcount.

•Amortization of Acquired Technologies. We amortize to cost of revenue capitalized costs of technologies acquired in connection with the July 1, 2022 acquisition of Spinpanel B.V. (“Spinpanel”) and November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin, Inc. (“Adlumin”).

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses as well as amortization of acquired intangibles. Generally, personnel costs are the most significant component of operating expenses and include salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes, as well as an allocation of our facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs. We had total employees of 1,800, 1,773, and 1,598 as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. Our stock-based compensation expense increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year primarily due to the impact of new equity awards that were granted to employees through March 31, 2025, and we expect stock-based compensation expense to continue to increase during the year ending December 31, 2025.

•Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of related personnel costs, including our sales, marketing, partner success and product management teams, net of capitalized commissions related to long-term committed contracts, as well as an allocation of our facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs. Sales and marketing expenses also include the cost of digital marketing programs such as paid search, search engine optimization and management and website maintenance and design, marketing development funds, as well as the cost of events for existing and prospective customers. We expect to continue to grow our sales and marketing organization over time to drive new customer adds, retain and expand with existing customers, and pursue initiatives designed to help our customers succeed and grow.

•Research and Development. Research and development expenses primarily consist of related personnel costs, including our engineering, development operations, user experience and security operations teams, as well as an allocation of our facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs. We expect to continue to grow our research and development organization over time and also to incur additional expenses associated with bringing new product offerings to market and our enhancements of security, monitoring and authentication of our solutions.

•General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel costs for executives, finance, legal, human resources, business applications and other administrative personnel, general restructuring charges and other transaction related costs, professional fees and other general corporate expenses, as well as an allocation of our facilities, depreciation, IT and benefits costs. We expect to continue to grow our general and administrative organization over time to support continued growth of our business.

•Amortization of Acquired Intangibles. We amortize to operating expenses capitalized costs of intangible assets primarily acquired in connection with the July 1, 2022 acquisition of Spinpanel and the November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net primarily consists of interest expense related to the Credit Agreement and the Adlumin deferred consideration liability and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated accounts, partially offset by gains resulting from changes in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated accounts, dividend income from our money market fund financial assets and interest income on recoverable taxes. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for additional information on how interest rates impact our financial results.

Foreign Currency

As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for additional information on how foreign currency impacts our financial results.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense consists of domestic and foreign corporate income taxes related to the sale of subscriptions. Our effective tax rate will be affected by many factors including changes in tax laws, regulations or rates, new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, valuation allowance, uncertain tax positions, stock-based compensation, permanent nondeductible book and tax differences, shifts in the allocation of income earned throughout the world and changes in overall levels of income before tax.

Total revenue increased $4.4 million, or 3.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. We base revenue by geography on the billing address of each customer. Based on customer location, revenue from the United States was approximately 51.2% and 47.9% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue from the United Kingdom was approximately 10.0% and 10.4% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other than the United States and the United Kingdom, no single country accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue during these periods.

Subscription Revenue. Subscription revenue increased $5.3 million, or 4.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in subscription revenue was primarily driven by growth in sales of our data protection, security and unified endpoint management solutions, inclusive of the net positive impact from long-term committed contracts, and includes revenue attributable to the recently acquired Adlumin business. See First Quarter Financial Highlights for further details regarding the impact of long-term committed contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Subscription revenue as a percentage of our total revenue was 98.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 98.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Our annual dollar-based net revenue retention rate for our subscription products was approximately 101% and 111% for the trailing twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The 101% dollar-based net revenue retention rate reflects the pressure from our pricing and packaging changes, coupled with rationalization related to our Long-Term Contract Initiative, which began materially impacting net revenue retention during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our calculation includes any expansion revenue and is net of any contraction or cancellation, but excludes credits and revenue attributable to any customer who was not a customer with a paid subscription in the prior period. To calculate our annual dollar-based net revenue retention rate, we first identify the customers with active paid subscriptions in the last month of the prior-year period, or the base customers. We then divide the subscription revenue in the last month of the current-year period attributable to the base customers by the revenue attributable to those base customers in the last month of the prior-year period. Our dollar-based net revenue retention rate for a particular period is then obtained by averaging the rates from that particular period with the results from each of the prior eleven months.

Other Revenue. Other revenue decreased $0.9 million, or 39.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in maintenance and professional services revenue. Other revenue as a percentage of our total revenue was 1.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased $4.6 million, or 12.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs of $3.8 million, which includes an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million, an increase in transaction related costs of $1.0 million, an increase in contract services costs of $0.3 million and an increase in travel and event-related costs of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in advertising expense of $0.5 million and an increase in commissions related to long-term committed contracts that were capitalized from sales and marketing expenses to the Consolidated Balance Sheets of $0.2 million.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $1.8 million, or 8.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in personnel costs driven by headcount and salary increases of $3.5 million, which includes an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million, and an increase in subscription costs of $0.5 million, partially offset by an increase in capitalized internal-use software costs of $2.0 million and a decrease in allocated facilities and IT costs of $0.3 million.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $6.9 million, or 40.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in expense of $2.3 million related to the Adlumin deferred consideration liability, an increase in expense related to contingent consideration of $2.1 million, due to the recognition of $0.7 million of expense on contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to the acquisition of Adlumin, compared to the recognition of a gain on contingent consideration related to the July 1, 2022 acquisition of Spinpanel of $1.4 million for three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase in transaction related costs of $2.1 million, an increase in professional fees of $1.0 million, an increase in contract services costs of $0.5 million and an increase in allocated facilities and IT costs of $0.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in restructuring and other costs of $0.9 million, which includes a net gain on lease modification of $0.4 million, and a decrease in rent expense of $0.6 million. See Note 3. Acquisitions, Note 6. Fair Value Measurements, and Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the acquisitions of Adlumin and Spinpanel.

Amortization of Acquired Intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles increased $0.5 million, or 3,464.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, related to the November 20, 2024 acquisition of Adlumin.

Interest expense, net	$	(7,071)	(6.0)	%	$	(7,621)	(6.7)	%	$	550

Interest expense, net decreased by $0.6 million, or 7.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in interest income on recoverable taxes of $1.0 million and a decrease in interest expense of $0.9 million due to the impact of decreased interest rates and lower outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, partially offset by an increase in expense of $1.4 million related to the Adlumin deferred consideration liability. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates, and therefore changes in interest rates will have an impact on our financial results and cash flows. See Note 8. Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the Credit Agreement and Note 3. Acquisitions, Note 6. Fair Value Measurements, and Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies for further details regarding the acquisition of Adlumin.

Our income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $2.4 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rate increased to (85.4)% for the same period primarily due to an increase in the amount of the unbenefited loss in the United States, partially offset by a decrease in income taxes on income outside of the United States. For additional discussion about our income taxes, see Note 10. Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance our understanding, and aid in the period-to-period comparison, of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information that is meaningful when assessing our operating performance because they exclude the impact of certain amounts that our management and Board of Directors do not consider part of core operating results when assessing our operational performance, allocating resources, preparing annual budgets and determining compensation. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may provide insight to investors into the motivation and decision-making of management in operating the business. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable GAAP financial measure included below.

While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, their most comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in their financing and accounting methods, the book value of their assets, their capital structures, the method by which their assets were acquired and the manner in which they define non-GAAP measures. Items such as the amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, transaction related adjustments, spin-off costs related to the Separation and Distribution, as well as the related tax impacts of these items can have a material impact on our GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Margin

We provide non-GAAP operating income and related non-GAAP operating margins excluding such items as stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, transaction related costs, spin-off costs and restructuring costs and other. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating income divided by total revenue. Management believes these measures are useful for the following reasons:

•Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Employer-Paid Payroll Taxes. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes associated with our employees’ participation in N-able's stock-based incentive compensation plans. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. Employer-paid payroll taxes on stock-based compensation is dependent on our stock price and the timing of the taxable events related to the equity awards, over which our management has little control, and does not necessarily correlate to the core operation of our business. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes, management excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization’s business performance.

•Amortization of Acquired Technologies and Intangible Assets. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to purchased technologies and intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. We believe that eliminating this expense from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because the amortization of acquired technologies and intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions, which also vary in frequency from period to period. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses.

•Transaction Related Costs. We exclude certain expense items resulting from proposed and completed acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, costs related to integrating the acquired businesses, deferred compensation, severance and retention expense. We consider these adjustments, to some extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, such proposed and completed transactions result in operating expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude transaction related costs allows investors to better review and understand the historical and current results of our continuing operations and also facilitates comparisons to our historical results and results of peer companies with different transaction related activities, both with and without such adjustments.

•Spin-off Costs. We exclude certain expense items resulting from the spin-off into a newly created and separately traded public company. These costs include legal, accounting and advisory fees, system implementation costs and other incremental costs incurred by us related to the Separation and Distribution. The spin-off transaction results in operating expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations. We believe that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude these costs facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

•Restructuring Costs and Other. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes restructuring costs such as severance, certain employee relocation costs and the estimated costs of exiting and terminating facility lease commitments, as they relate to our corporate restructuring and exit activities. These costs are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these costs for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We regularly monitor adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, as they are measures we use to assess our operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets and developed technology, depreciation expense, income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net, unrealized foreign currency losses (gains), transaction related costs, spin-off costs, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes and restructuring and other costs. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and

•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including operating income and net (loss) income and our other GAAP results. In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an implication that our future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and the use of the term varies from others in our industry.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $94.1 million as of March 31, 2025. As our sales and operating cash flows are primarily generated by international entities in the United Kingdom and Canada, our international subsidiaries held approximately $86.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which 73.8%, 18.0% and 2.6% were held in United States Dollars, Euros and British Pound Sterling, respectively. We intend either to invest our foreign earnings permanently into foreign operations or to remit these earnings to our United States entities in a tax-efficient manner. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 imposed a mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and eliminates United States federal income taxes on foreign subsidiary distributions. As a result, our earnings in foreign jurisdictions are generally available for distribution to the United States without significant U.S. tax consequences.

Our primary source of cash for funding operations and growth has been through cash provided by operating activities. Given the uncertainty of rapidly changing market and economic conditions, we continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact to our business and financial position. However, despite this uncertainty, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and our cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our commitments for capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

In connection with the Separation and Distribution, on July 19, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for $410.0 million of first lien secured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”), consisting of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), and a $350.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). On July 19, 2021, prior to the completion of the Distribution, the Company distributed approximately $16.5 million, representing the proceeds from the Term Loan, net of the repayment of related party debt due to SolarWinds Holdings, Inc., payment of intercompany trade payables, and fees and other transaction related expenses, to SolarWinds. The Revolving Facility is primarily available for general corporate purposes. We had total borrowings of $332.6 million and $333.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, net of debt issuance costs of $5.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively. See Note 8. Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the Credit Agreement.

Although we are not currently a party to any material definitive agreement regarding potential investments in, or acquisitions of, complementary businesses, applications or technologies, we may enter into these types of arrangements, which could reduce our cash and cash equivalents, require us to seek additional equity or debt financing or repatriate cash generated by our international operations. Additional funds from financing arrangements may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Summary of Cash Flows

Summarized cash flow information is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024

	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	19,677	$	4,184
Net cash used in investing activities	(6,076)		(5,127)
Net cash used in financing activities	(7,289)		(11,916)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	2,582		(962)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	8,894	$	(13,821)

Operating Activities

Our primary source of cash from operating activities is cash collections from our customers. We expect cash inflows from operating activities to be affected by the timing of our sales and the consumption of our solutions by our customers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel-related expenditures, and other general operating expenses, as well as payments related to taxes, interest and facilities.

Cash provided by operating activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a net cash inflow resulting from changes in our operating assets and liabilities and an increase in non-cash items within net income, partially offset by a decrease in net income. The net cash inflow resulting from changes in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in recoverable taxes, an increase in accrued liabilities and other, a decrease in current contract assets, a decrease in income taxes receivable, a decrease in other long-term assets, a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in other long-term liabilities, partially offset by an increase in income taxes payable, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, a decrease in accounts payable, a decrease in deferred revenue and an increase in operating lease right-of-use assets, net. The net cash inflow of $1.0 million and outflow of $20.6 million resulting from changes in our operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, excluding the changes noted above, was primarily due to the timing of sales, cash payments and receipts.

Investing Activities

Investing cash flows consist of cash used for capital expenditures and intangible assets. Our capital expenditures principally relate to purchases of servers for cloud infrastructure primarily to support our data protection solutions, as well as leasehold improvements, computers and equipment to support our domestic and international office locations. Purchases of intangible assets consist of capitalized research and development costs.

Net cash used in investing activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in capitalized research and development costs related to internal-use software, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures to support our domestic and international office locations.

Financing Activities

Financing cash flows consist of payments of tax withholding obligations related to restricted stock, the exercise of stock options, proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and repayments of borrowings from the Credit Agreement.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in payments of tax withholding obligations related to restricted stock, an increase in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and an increase in proceeds from exercises of stock options.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of March 31, 2025, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2024, which were disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP and require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related

disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions or assumptions change. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected, perhaps materially.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application, while in other cases, management’s judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We believe that these accounting policies requiring significant management judgment and estimates are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas of our financial results. These critical accounting policies are:

•the valuation of goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets;

•the valuation of contingent consideration;

•revenue recognition; and

•income taxes.

A full description of our critical accounting policies that involve significant management judgment appears in our 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since that time.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We had cash and cash equivalents of $94.1 million and $85.2 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank demand deposits and money market funds and do not have material exposure to market risk. We hold cash and cash equivalents for working capital purposes. Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes, and we do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.

We had total borrowings under the Credit Agreement, net of debt issuance costs, of $332.6 million and $333.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating SOFR-based rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0%) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings denominated in Euros under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0%) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a floating SOFR-based rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.5%) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. Each margin is subject to reductions to 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively, based on our first lien net leverage ratio.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the annual weighted-average interest rate on borrowings was 7.32% and 7.53%, respectively. If there was a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates, the annual impact to interest expense would be approximately $3.4 million as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. This hypothetical change in interest expense has been calculated based on the variable rate borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and a 100 basis point per annum change in interest rate applied over a one-year period. Changes in interest rates have had and could continue to have an adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows since outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates.

We do not have material exposure to market risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents, as these consist primarily of highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

See Note 8. Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the Credit Agreement and Interest Expense, Net of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 for further details on the current and expected continued impact of increases in interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We primarily conduct business in the following locations: the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Canada. This exposure is the result of selling in multiple currencies, growth in our international investments, additional headcount in foreign countries and operating in countries where the functional currency is the local currency. Specifically, our results of operations and cash flows are primarily subject to fluctuations in the following currencies: the Euro, British Pound Sterling and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. dollar. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and economic conditions change, including as a result of the impact on the global economy of, or governmental actions taken in response to, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, escalating conflicts in the Middle East, or economic uncertainty with respect to trade policies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates have had and could continue to have an adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows.

Our Consolidated Statements of Operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. Our international revenue, operating expenses and significant balance sheet accounts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar primarily flow through our United Kingdom and European subsidiaries, which have historically had British Pound Sterling and Euro functional currencies, respectively, resulting in a two-step currency exchange process wherein the currencies other than the British Pound Sterling and Euro are first converted into those functional currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars for our Consolidated Financial Statements. In connection with the Separation and Distribution, our United Kingdom legal entity changed its functional currency from the British Pound Sterling to the US dollar.

Our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets accounts are also impacted by the re-measurement of non-functional currency transactions such as cash accounts held by our overseas subsidiaries, accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies, deferred revenue and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies.

Foreign Currency Transaction Risk

Our foreign currency exposures typically arise from selling annual and multi-year subscriptions in multiple currencies, accounts receivable and other intercompany transactions.

Foreign Currency Translation Risk

Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows that we report in U.S. dollars for foreign subsidiaries that transact in international currencies may be higher or lower to what we would have reported if using a constant currency rate. To the extent the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in reduced assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows for our international operations. Similarly, our assets, liabilities, revenue, operating expenses and cash flows will increase for our international operations if the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies. The conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will also lead to remeasurement gains and losses recorded in income, or translation gains or losses that are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. The term “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”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we have been and may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in our ordinary course of business. See Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity and Use of Proceeds

On March 11, 2025, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the authorization, we may repurchase shares of Common Stock from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The timing and total amount of stock repurchases will depend upon business, economic, and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, and other considerations. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date, may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice, and does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific dollar amount or numbers of shares of Common Stock. We did not repurchase any shares under the Repurchase Program in the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Item 5. Other Information

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, none of the Company’s directors or officers adopted or terminated any purported Rule 10b5-1 plans and/or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements,” as defined under applicable law.
