Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Unless otherwise noted, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “OneSpan,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to OneSpan Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Note 1 – Description of the Company and Basis of Presentation
Description of the Company
Description of the Company
OneSpan delivers cutting-edge solutions in two key areas: advanced secure authentication, which is provided through its Security Solutions business unit, and digital agreements, which is provided through its Digital Agreements business unit. The Company's secure authentication solutions protect devices, users, and applications with robust multi-factor and passwordless authentication and other fraud prevention technologies. Its digital agreements solutions combine identity verification, electronic signatures, and digital workflows to streamline agreements, enhance compliance, and accelerate business processes. OneSpan empowers organizations to automate and secure both customer-facing and revenue-generating processes, supporting a wide range of use cases—from simple transactions to complex workflows requiring elevated security. OneSpan has operations in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Japan, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom (U.K.), and the United States (U.S.).
Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid its quarterly cash dividend declared on December 16, 2024, as part of a recurring quarterly dividend program. The initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share was paid to shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 31, 2025. The declaration and payment of future dividends is subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OneSpan and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Public business entities are required to adopt for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3 – Segment Information
Segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company's reportable segments are businesses units that offer different products and services and are as follows:
•Security Solutions. Security Solutions consists of our broad portfolio of software products, software development kits (SDKs), and Digipass authenticator devices that are used to build applications designed to defend against attacks on digital transactions across online environments, devices, and applications. The software products and SDKs included in the Security Solutions segment are on-premises and, to a lesser extent, cloud software products, and include multi-factor authentication and transaction signing solutions, such as mobile application security and mobile software tokens.
•Digital Agreements. Digital Agreements consists of solutions that enable our clients to secure and automate business processes associated with their digital agreement and customer transaction lifecycles that require consent, non-repudiation and compliance. These solutions, which are largely cloud-based, include OneSpan Sign e-signature, OneSpan Notary, and Identity Verification.
Segment operating income (loss) consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, restructuring and other related charges, and amortization of intangible assets expense that are incurred directly by a segment. Sales and marketing and research and development expenses were determined to be significant segment expenses. Unallocated corporate costs include costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not directly attributable to a particular segment.
The tables below set forth information about the Company’s operating segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract balances
The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| March 31, | December 31, | ||||||||||
| (In thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||
| Receivables, inclusive of trade and unbilled | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Contract Assets (current and non-current) | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue current and non-current) | $ | $ | |||||||||
Contract assets relate primarily to multi-year term license arrangements and the remaining contractual billings. These contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to bill occurs over a 2 - to 5 -year period. The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for subscription and maintenance services. Revenue is recognized for these services over time.
As a practical expedient, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between the Company's transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. Extended payment terms are not typically included in contracts with customers.
Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 included $34.2 million that was included on the December 31, 2024 consolidated balance sheet in contract liabilities. Deferred revenue decreased in the same period due to timing of annual renewals.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the revenue that is expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the end of the period. The following table includes expected revenue to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of March 31, 2025:
| (In thousands) | 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | Beyond 2027 | Total | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Future revenue related to current unsatisfied performance obligations | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company applies practical expedients and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations (a) that have original expected durations of one year or less, or (b) where revenue is recognized as invoiced.
Costs of obtaining a contract
The Company incurs incremental costs related to commissions, which can be directly tied to obtaining a contract. The Company capitalizes commissions associated with certain new contracts and amortizes the costs over a period of up to 7 years, which is the determined benefit period based on the estimated customer relationship period or customer benefit period. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the customer contracts, its technology and other factors, including customer attrition. Commissions are earned upon invoicing to the customer. For contracts with multiple year payment terms, because the commissions that are payable after year 1 are payable based on continued employment, they are expensed when incurred. Commissions and amortization expense are included in “Sales and Marketing” expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As a practical expedient, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period for the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in “Sales and Marketing” expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following tables provide information related to the capitalized costs and amortization recognized in the current and prior period within "Other current assets" and "Other assets" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing base upon its own market assumptions.
The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
•Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 – Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets by level in the fair value hierarchy, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Note 10 – Allowance for Credit Losses
In accordance with accounting standards updates ("ASU") No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” the Company evaluates its allowance based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, which is known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The allowance is determined using the loss rate approach and is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Where financial instruments do not share risk characteristics, they are evaluated on an individual basis. The allowance is based on relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The changes in the allowance for credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were as follows:

Note 12 – Income Taxes
The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for 2025, before discrete items is expected to be approximately 19 %. The Company’s global effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21 % primarily due to the impact of foreign operations, the release of valuation allowances for the current year earnings for companies with a valuation allowance, offset by nondeductible expenses. The ultimate tax expense will depend on the mix of earnings in various jurisdictions. Income taxes, net of refunds, of $1.7 million and $0.9 million were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Management assesses the need for a valuation allowance on a regular basis, weighing all positive and negative evidence to determine whether a deferred tax asset will be fully or partially realized. In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, significant pieces of negative evidence such as 3-year cumulative losses are considered. Management also reviews reversal patterns of temporary differences to determine if the Company would have sufficient taxable income due to the reversal of temporary differences to support the realization of deferred tax assets.
Certain operations have incurred net operating losses (NOLs), which are currently subject to a valuation allowance. These NOLs may become deductible to the extent these operations become profitable. For each of its operations, the Company evaluates whether it is more likely than not that the tax benefits related to NOLs will be realized. As part of this evaluation, the Company considers evidence such as tax planning strategies, historical operating results, forecasted taxable income, and recent financial performance. In the year that certain operations record a loss, the Company does not recognize a corresponding tax benefit, thus increasing its effective tax rate, or decreasing its effective tax rate when reporting income in a jurisdiction that has a valuation allowance. Upon determining that it is more likely than not that the NOLs will be realized, the Company will reduce the tax valuation allowances related to these NOLs, which will result in a reduction of its income tax expense and its effective tax rate in the period.
Note 13 – Long-Term Compensation Plan and Stock Based Compensation
Under the OneSpan Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company awards restricted stock units subject to time-based vesting, restricted stock units which are subject to the achievement of future performance criteria and restricted stock units that are subject to the achievement of market conditions. The Company also awards a small amount of cash incentive awards under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as shown in the table below.
The Company awarded 0.3 million restricted stock units during the three months ended March 31, 2025, subject to time-based vesting. The fair value of the unissued time-based restricted stock unit grants was $4.8 million at the dates of grant and the grants are being amortized over the vesting periods of to three years .
The Company awarded restricted stock units subject to the achievement of service and future performance criteria during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which allows for up to 0.3 million shares to be earned if the performance criteria are achieved at the target level. The fair value of these awards was $5.7 million as the dates of grant and the awards are being amortized over the requisite service period of to three years . The Company currently believes that approximately 100 % of these shares are expected to be earned.

Note 15 – Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company currently does not anticipate that these matters, if resolved against the Company, will have a material adverse impact on its financial results or financial condition.
The Company accrues loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has recorded an accrual of $0.6 million for loss contingencies associated with employment-termination benefits and employee related taxes.

Note 16 – Restructuring and Other Related Charges
In 2021 and 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved cost reduction actions designed to streamline its business and improve efficiency. On August 3, 2023, the Board approved further cost reduction actions (the "2023 Actions") to seek to drive higher levels of Adjusted EBITDA while maintaining the Company's long-term growth potential. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur restructuring charges in connection with the 2023 Actions, and anticipates that these charges will consist primarily of charges related to employee transition and severance payments, with a significantly smaller amount of charges relating to vendor contract termination and rationalization actions.
In connection with the Plan (including the 2023 Actions), the Company recorded a total of $0.4 million and $1.6 million in restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Approximately less than $0.1 million is recorded in "Services and other cost of goods sold" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for both periods while the remaining amounts of $0.4 million and $1.5 million is recorded in “Restructuring and other related charges” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The main categories of charges are in the following areas:
•Employee costs – include severance, related benefits and retention pay costs incurred as a result of eliminating positions in certain areas of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 employee costs were $0.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In total, there were approximately 335 employees, across multiple functions, whose positions were made redundant. The $0.6 million current portion of the restructuring liability at March 31, 2025 is included in "Accrued wages and payroll taxes" in the consolidated balance sheet and is expected to be paid within the next 12 months.
•Real estate rationalization costs – includes costs to align the real estate footprint with the Company’s needs. During 2023, the Company vacated its Chicago and Brussels office spaces, which resulted in the abandonment and termination of the underlying leases. In August 2024, the Company finalized its early termination agreement with the Chicago office landlord to terminate and release any further obligations for either party. The remaining contract termination fees of $0.5 million were paid in January 2025 and no liability was outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
•Vendor rationalization costs – include costs for contractually committed services the Company is no longer utilizing. The Company recognized $0.1 million and $0 of vendor rationalization costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These costs are included in "Restructuring and other related charges" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Overview
OneSpan delivers cutting-edge solutions in two key areas: advanced secure authentication and digital agreements. Our secure authentication solutions protect devices, users, and applications with robust multi-factor and passwordless authentication and other fraud prevention technologies. Our digital agreements solutions combined identity verification, electric signatures, and digital workflows to streamline agreements, enhance compliance, and accelerate business processes. We empower organizations to automate and secure both customer-facing and revenue-generating processes, supporting a wide range of use cases—from simple transactions to complex workflows requiring elevated security. Trusted by global blue-chip enterprises, including more than 60% of the world’s 100 largest banks, OneSpan processes millions of digital agreements and billions of transactions in more than 100 countries annually.
20
We offer our products primarily through a subscription licensing model and provide multiple deployment options, including cloud-based and on-premises solutions. Our solutions are sold worldwide through our direct sales force, as well as through distributors, resellers, systems integrators, and original equipment manufacturers.
We report our financial results under the following two lines of business, which are our reportable segments: Security Solutions and Digital Agreements.
•Security Solutions. Security Solutions consists of our broad portfolio of software products, software development kits (SDKs), and Digipass authenticator devices that are used to build applications designed to defend against attacks on digital transactions across online environments, devices, and applications. The software products and SDKs included in the Security Solutions segment are on-premises and, to a lesser extent, cloud software products, and include multi-factor authentication and transaction signing solutions, such as mobile application security and mobile software tokens.
•Digital Agreements. Digital Agreements consists of solutions that enable our clients to secure and automate business processes associated with their digital agreement and customer transaction lifecycles that require consent, non-repudiation and compliance. These solutions, which are largely cloud-based, include OneSpan Sign e-signature, OneSpan Notary, and Identity Verification.
We seek to drive profitable, efficient growth in both operating segments, with a particular emphasis on subscription revenue growth. Both operating segments were profitable for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and Security Solutions and Digital Agreements subscription revenue grew 7% and 13% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024, respectively.
Restructuring Plan
In 2021 and 2022, our Board approved cost reduction actions designed to advance our operating model, streamline our business, improve efficiency, and enhance our capital resources.
On August 3, 2023, our Board of Directors approved further cost reduction actions (the "2023 Actions"). In connection with the 2023 Actions, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur restructuring charges, most of which relate to employee transition and severance payments and employee benefits, with a significantly smaller amount of charges related to vendor contract termination and rationalization actions. We currently expect that we will incur restructuring charges of approximately $0.1 million to $0.6 million related to the 2023 Actions in future periods, substantially all of which relate to employee transition and severance payments.
We plan to incrementally take actions under the restructuring plan until December 31, 2025, when the plan terminates. We completed substantially all of the workforce reductions planned as part of the 2023 Actions in 2023 and 2024. The vendor contract component of the 2023 Actions is planned for completion by the end of 2025.
As part of the restructuring plan (including the 2023 Actions), we reduced headcount by eliminating approximately 335 positions. We incurred severance and related benefits costs, recorded in “Restructuring and other related charges” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Components of Operating Results
Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of our subscriptions, maintenance and support, professional services, and Digipass hardware products. We believe comparison of revenues between periods is heavily influenced by the timing of orders and shipments, reflecting the transactional nature of significant parts of our business.
•Product and license revenue. Product and license revenue includes Digipass hardware products and software licenses, which are provided on a perpetual or term basis subscription model.
•Service and other revenue. Service and other revenue includes solutions that are provided on a cloud-based subscription model, maintenance and support, and professional services.
21
Cost of Goods Sold
Our total cost of goods sold consists of cost of product and license revenue and cost of service and other revenue. We expect our cost of goods sold to increase in absolute dollars as our business grows, although it may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue from period to period.
•Cost of product and license revenue. Cost of product and license revenue primarily consists of direct product and license costs, including personnel costs, production costs, freight, and inventory write-off adjustments for discontinued products and services.
•Cost of service and other revenue. Cost of service and other revenue primarily consists of costs related to cloud subscription solutions, including personnel and equipment costs, depreciation, amortization, and personnel costs of employees providing professional services and maintenance and support.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is revenue net of the cost of goods sold. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue, or gross margin, has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including our average selling price, manufacturing costs, the mix of products sold, and the mix of revenue among products, subscriptions and services. We expect our gross margins to fluctuate over time depending on these factors.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses are generally based on anticipated revenue levels and fixed over short periods of time. As a result, small variations in revenue may cause significant variations in the period-to-period comparisons of operating income or operating income as a percentage of revenue.
Generally, the most significant factor driving our operating expenses is headcount. Direct compensation and benefit plan expenses generally represent between 50% and 60% of our operating expenses. In addition, a number of other expense categories are directly related to headcount. We attempt to manage our headcount within the context of the economic environments in which we operate and the investments we believe we need to make for our infrastructure to support future growth and for our products to remain competitive.
Historically, operating expenses have been impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. We estimate the change in currency rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the comparable prior year period resulted in a decrease in operating expenses of less than $0.3 million.
The comparison of operating expenses can also be impacted significantly by costs related to our stock-based and long-term incentive plans. Long-term incentive plan compensation expense includes both stock-based incentives and an immaterial amount of cash-based incentives. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, operating expenses included $2.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of expenses related to stock-based and long-term incentive plans as well as payroll taxes on employee stock-based awards.
Our operating expenses consist of:
•Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, commissions and bonuses, trade shows, marketing programs and other marketing activities, travel, outside consulting costs, and long-term incentive compensation. Our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
•Research and development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and long-term incentive compensation. Our research and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
•General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, legal, consulting and other professional fees, and long-term incentive compensation. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
•Amortization of intangible assets. Acquired intangible assets are amortized over their respective amortization periods and are periodically evaluated for impairment or changes in estimated useful life.
22
•Restructuring and related charges. Restructuring and other related charges consist of employee costs which include severance, retention pay, and related benefits incurred from headcount reductions as part of our restructuring plan, including the 2023 Actions; real estate rationalization costs incurred to optimize our real estate footprint which include lease contract termination costs, asset impairment charges, and lease right-of-use asset and lease liability write-off gains or losses; product and services optimization costs incurred to advance our operating model which include write-offs of capitalized software assets no longer in use; write-offs of acquired blockchain technology and related capitalized software due to the discontinuation of incremental development investments and related commercial efforts; and vendor rationalization costs for contractually committed services the Company is no longer utilizing. We plan to incrementally incur additional restructuring costs through December 31, 2025, when the restructuring plan terminates and the 2023 Actions are completed.
Segment Results
Segment operating income (loss) consists of the revenue generated by a segment, less the direct costs of revenue, sales and marketing, research and development amortization and any impairment charges that are incurred directly by a segment. Unallocated corporate costs include general and administrative expense and other company-wide costs that are not attributable to a particular segment. Financial results by reportable operating segment are included below under Results of Operations. As of December 31, 2024, we adopted ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. See Note 3, Segment Information, for additional information.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net, consists of income earned on our cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents are invested in short-term instruments at current market rates.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net, primarily includes exchange gains (losses) on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our subsidiaries’ functional currencies, subsidies received from foreign governments in support of our research and development in those countries and other miscellaneous non-operational expenses.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate reflects our global structure related to the ownership of our intellectual property (“IP”). The IP in our Security Solutions business is owned by a U.S. subsidiary. The e-signature IP in our Digital Agreements business is owned by a subsidiary in Canada. These subsidiaries have entered into agreements with most of the other OneSpan entities under which those other entities provide services to the IP owners on either a percentage of revenue or on a cost plus basis or both. Under this structure, the earnings of our service provider subsidiaries are relatively constant. These service provider companies tend to be in jurisdictions with higher effective tax rates. Fluctuations in earnings flow to the IP owners.
As the majority of our revenue is generated outside of the U.S., our consolidated effective tax rate is strongly influenced by our foreign operations, including the tax rates in the countries in which we operate and by cross border tax laws in the U.S. Changes in the effective rate related to foreign operations reflect changes in the geographic mix of earnings and the tax rates in each of the countries in which it is earned. The statutory tax rate for the primary foreign tax jurisdictions ranges from 17% to 30%.
Impact of Currency Fluctuations
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated approximately 84% and 84% of our revenues and incurred approximately 58% and 61% of our operating expenses, respectively, outside of the U.S. As a result, changes in currency exchange rates, especially the Euro exchange rate and the Canadian Dollar exchange rate, can have a significant impact on our revenue and operating expenses.
23
While the majority of our revenue is generated outside of the U.S., a significant amount of our revenue earned during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was denominated in U.S. Dollars. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 55% of our revenue was denominated in U.S. Dollars, 43% was denominated in Euros and 2% was denominated in other currencies. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 53% of our revenue was denominated in U.S. Dollars, 43% was denominated in Euros and 4% was denominated in other currencies.
In general, to minimize the net impact of currency fluctuations on operating income, we attempt to denominate an amount of billings in a currency such that it would provide a natural hedge against the operating expenses being incurred in that currency. We expect that changes in currency rates may impact our future results if we are unable to match amounts of revenue with our operating expenses in the same currency. If the amount of our revenue in Europe denominated in Euros continues as it is now or declines, we may not be able to balance fully the exposures of currency exchange rates on revenue and operating expenses.
The financial position and the results of operations of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our subsidiaries in Switzerland, Singapore and Canada, are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The functional currency for our subsidiaries in Switzerland, Singapore and Canada is the U.S. Dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates generated a comprehensive gain of $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates generated a comprehensive loss of $1.7 million.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in other (expense) income, net. Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) aggregated $(0.2) million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(1) Professional services and other includes perpetual software licenses revenue, which was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and approximately 1% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Total revenue decreased by $1.5 million, or 2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Changes in foreign exchange rates as compared to the same period in 2024 negatively impacted revenue by approximately $1.1 million.
Additional information on our revenue by segment follows.
•Security Solutions revenue decreased $2.7 million, or approximately 5%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in Security Solutions revenue was primarily attributable to lower volumes of hardware devices sold, and lower perpetual-based maintenance and professional services revenues due to our transition to term licenses and cloud subscription license models. The decrease was partially offset by higher on-premises and cloud subscription revenue from existing customer expansions. Changes in foreign exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 negatively impacted Security Solutions revenue by $1.1 million.
•Digital Agreements revenue increased $1.2 million, or 9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in Digital Agreements revenue was primarily attributable to higher cloud subscription revenue from existing customer expansions and, to a lesser extent, new logos, partially offset by lower term-based maintenance revenue due to our transition to cloud subscription licenses. Changes in foreign exchange rates compared to the same period in 2024 negatively impacted Digital Agreements revenue by less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Our revenue is heavily influenced by the timing of orders and shipments, as well as the timing of customer renewals in any given period. As a result, we believe that the overall strength of our business is best evaluated over a longer term where the impact of transactions in any given period is not as significant as in a quarter-over-quarter comparison.
Revenue by Geographic Regions: We classify our sales by customer location in three geographic regions: 1) EMEA, which includes Europe, Middle East and Africa; 2) the Americas, which includes sales in North, Central, and South America; and 3) Asia Pacific (APAC), which also includes Australia, New Zealand, and India. The breakdown of revenue in each of our major geographic areas was as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue generated in EMEA was $0.8 million, or 3%, lower than the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in hardware revenue due to lower volumes sold.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue generated in the Americas was $0.2 million, or 1%, lower than the three months ended March 31, 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue generated in APAC was $0.4 million, or 3%, lower than the three months ended March 31, 2024, largely due to a decrease in hardware revenue due to lower volumes sold.

The cost of product and license revenue decreased by $1.0 million, or 10%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cost of product and license revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven primarily by lower hardware revenue, partially offset by higher third-party license costs.
The cost of services and other revenue decreased by $0.2 million, or 2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Gross profit decreased slightly by $0.3 million, or 1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Gross margin was 74% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 73% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable product mix and improved operational efficiencies in both business units.
The majority of our inventory purchases are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Our sales are denominated in various currencies, including the Euro. The impact of changes in currency rates are estimated to have had an favorable impact on overall cost of goods sold of $0.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2025. Had currency rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025 been equal to rates in the comparable period of 2024, the gross margin would have been less than 1 percentage point lower, driven by the favorable currency rate impact to revenue.
Additional information on our gross profit by segment follows.
•Security Solutions gross profit decreased $1.4 million, or 4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Security Solutions gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 76%, compared to 74% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a higher software to hardware revenue mix, which has a direct correlation to gross profit.
•Digital Agreements gross profit increased $1.1 million, or 11%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Digital Agreements gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 70%, compared to 69% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was driven by higher cloud subscription revenue, partially offset by lower term-based maintenance revenue.
27
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by $3.4 million, or 10%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, changes in foreign exchange rates favorably impacted operating expenses by less than $0.3 million as compared to the same period in 2024.

Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $1.5 million, or 11%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decreases were driven primarily by lower employee compensation costs which included decreases in commissions, salaries, and benefits as a result of headcount reductions, along with decreased consulting and marketing costs related to our strategic plan, and lower travel and entertainment expenses.
Average full-time sales, marketing, support, and operating employee headcount for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 158 compared to 183 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Average headcount was 14% lower for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $0.3 million, or 4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in expense was driven primarily by lower compensation costs as a result of lower headcount and lower consulting expenses related to our strategic transformation plan.
Average full-time research and development employee headcount for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 222 compared to 250 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Average headcount was 11% lower for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $0.5 million, or 5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in expense for three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year period was largely driven by lower employee compensation costs, which included a decrease in salaries, payroll taxes, and related benefits as a result of lower headcount as well as lower bonus accruals. This decrease was partially offset by increased stock-based compensation expense and higher consulting costs in 2025 compared to prior year.
Average full-time general and administrative employee headcount for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 85 compared to 111 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Average headcount was 23% lower for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
28
Restructuring and Other Related Charges
Restructuring and other related charges for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $1.1 million, or 72%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by minimal headcount reduction and vendor rationalization costs in 2025 compared to severance costs of $1.4 million incurred in 2024.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by less than $0.1 million, or 7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Segment Operating Income (Loss)
Information on our operating income (loss) by segment follows.
•Security Solutions operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $24.2 million, which was a year-over-year decrease of $1.7 million, or 7%, from the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was largely due to lower overall revenue and higher sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, and restructuring expenses.
•Digital Agreements operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $3.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The improvement in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by higher overall revenue and gross profit and lower sales and marketing and research and development expenses, including lower employee compensation costs, marketing expenses, and travel and entertainment costs, partially offset by increased general and administrative expenses.

We recorded income tax expense of $3.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Higher income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to an increase in income before taxes and a $1.1 million tax benefit recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 in connection with a Mutual Agreement Procedure request. In addition, the prior year tax reflected valuation allowance releases for entities with income and a valuation allowance.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalent balances of $105.2 million. Our cash and cash equivalents balance includes money market funds and U.S. treasury bills with maturities at acquisition of less than three months.
At December 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalent balances of $83.2 million.
We are party to lease agreements that require letters of credit to secure the obligations which totaled $0.2 million at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The restricted cash related to the letters of credit will be held for a period greater than 12 months, and therefore, is recorded as "Restricted cash" and a long-term asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2025, we held $42.8 million of cash and cash equivalents in subsidiaries outside of the United States. Of that amount, $41.9 million is not subject to repatriation restrictions, but may be subject to taxes upon repatriation.
We believe that our financial resources are adequate to meet our operating needs over the next twelve months.
Our cash flows are as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||
| (In thousands) | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||
| Cash provided by (used in): | |||||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 29,366 | $ | 26,960 | |||||||

| Financing activities | (5,914) | (1,795) | |||||||||
| Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 244 | (734) | |||||||||
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash adjustments consist primarily of allowance for credit losses, amortization of intangible assets, deferred taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, and stock-based compensation. We expect cash inflows from operating activities to be affected by increases or decreases in sales and timing of collections. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for personnel and vendor costs. We expect cash outflows from operating activities to be affected by changes in personnel costs and the timing of payment of expenditures.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $29.4 million of cash was provided by operating activities. This was driven by a net income for the period and a decrease in our accounts receivable balance, partially offset by a decrease in deferred revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, $27.0 million of cash was provided by operating activities.
Our working capital at March 31, 2025 was $83.5 million compared to $64.6 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by lower deferred revenue, accrued wages and payroll taxes, and other accrued expenses and increased cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by lower accounts receivable.
30
Investing Activities
The changes in cash flows from investing activities primarily relate to timing of purchases, maturities and sales of investments, purchases of property and equipment, capitalized software activities, and activity in connection with acquisitions. We expect to continue to purchase property and equipment to support the growth of our business as well as to continue to invest in our infrastructure and activity in connection with acquisitions.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Cash used in investing activities primarily consisted of additions to property and equipment.
Financing Activities
The changes in cash flows from financing activities primarily relate to a dividend, the purchases of common stock under our share repurchase program and tax payments for restricted stock issuances.
Cash of $5.9 million used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was attributable to dividends paid and tax payments for stock issuances. Cash of $1.8 million used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was attributable to tax payments for stock issuances and cash paid for the holdback component of a prior year acquisition.
Key Business Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In our quarterly earnings press releases and conference calls, we discuss the below key metrics and financial measures that are not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These metrics and non-GAAP financial measures help us monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our operations and evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Management believes that these metrics and non-GAAP financial measures help illustrate underlying trends in our business. We use these metrics and non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals (communicated internally and externally), manage our business and evaluate our performance. We also believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these metrics and non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. We believe these metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to financial measures used by management in their financial and operational decision-making and also because they are used by investors and the analyst community to help evaluate the health of our business.
Annual Recurring Revenue
We use annual recurring revenue, or ARR, as an approximate measure to monitor the growth of our recurring business. ARR represents the annualized value of the active portion of SaaS, term-based license, and maintenance and support contracts at the end of the reporting period. ARR is calculated as the approximate annualized value of our customer recurring contracts as of the measurement date. These include subscription, term-based license, and maintenance and support contracts and exclude one-time fees. For term-based license arrangements, the amount included in ARR is consistent with the amount that we invoice the customer annually for the term-based license transaction. A customer with a one-year term-based license contract will be invoiced for the total value of the contract at the beginning of the contractual term, while a customer with a multi-year term-based license contract will be invoiced for each annual period at the beginning of each year of the contract. For contracts that include annual values that increase over time because there are additional deliverables in subsequent periods, we include in ARR only the annualized value of components of the contract that are considered active as of the date of the ARR calculation. We do not include the future committed increases in the contract value as of the date of the ARR calculation.
We consider a contract to be active from when the product or service contractual term commences (the “start date”) until the right to use the product or service ends (the “expiration date”). Even if the contract with the customer is executed before the start date, the contract will not count toward ARR until the customer right to receive the benefit of the products or services has commenced.
31
To the extent that we are negotiating a renewal with a customer within 90 days after the expiration of a recurring contract, we continue to include that revenue in ARR if we are actively in discussions with the customer for a new recurring contract or renewal and the customer has not notified us of an intention not to renew. We exclude from the calculation of ARR renewal contracts that are more than 90 days after their expiration date, even if we are continuing to negotiate a renewal at that time.
ARR is not calculated based on recognized or unearned revenue and there is no direct relationship between revenue recognized in accordance with ASC 606 and the Company’s ARR business metric. We believe ARR is a valuable operating measure to assess the health of our SaaS, term-based license, and maintenance and support contracts because it illustrates our customer recurring contracts as of the measurement date. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates, and does not include revenue from perpetual licenses, purchases of Digipass authenticators, training, professional services or other sources of revenue that are not deemed to be recurring in nature.
ARR does not have any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. Investors should consider our ARR operating measure only in conjunction with our GAAP financial results.
At March 31, 2025, we reported ARR of $168.4 million, which was 9% higher than ARR of $154.6 million at March 31, 2024. Changes in foreign exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year negatively impacted ARR by approximately $0.7 million. ARR growth was primarily driven by an increase in subscription contracts and new logos.
Net Retention Rate
Net Retention Rate, or NRR, is defined as the approximate year-over-year percentage growth in ARR from the same set of customers at the end of the prior year period. It measures our ability to increase revenue across our existing customer base through expanded use of our platform, offset by customers whose subscription contracts with us are not renewed or renew at a lower amount. Our ability to drive growth and generate incremental revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with customers. NRR is an important way in which we track our performance in this area.
We reported NRR of 107% at both March 31, 2025 and 2024. Year-over-year, NRR was primarily impacted by the same factors that affected ARR, as discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, restructuring and other related charges, and certain non-recurring items, including acquisition related costs, rebranding costs, and non-routine shareholder matters. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a simplified measure of performance for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, restructuring costs, and certain other non-recurring items, we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense, non-routine shareholder matters), deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest, one-time strategic action costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). In addition, removing the impact of these items helps us compare our core business performance with that of our competitors.

(1) Includes cost of sales depreciation and amortization expense directly related to delivering cloud subscription revenue of $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are recorded in "Services and other cost of goods sold" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(2) Long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense includes stock-based compensation and related payroll tax expense, and cash incentive grants awarded to employees located in jurisdictions where we do not issue stock-based compensation due to tax, regulatory or similar reasons. The immaterial expense associated with these cash incentive grants was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Starting January 1, 2025, employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions are included in long-term incentive compensation and related payroll tax expense. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect these changes. We are excluding these payroll taxes from Adjusted EBITDA results since they are tied to the timing and size of the vesting of the underlying stock-based awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting, which may vary from period to period independent of our operating performance. Employer payroll taxes related to employee stock-based award transactions amounted to $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(3) Includes restructuring and other related charges of less than $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. These charges are recorded in "Services and other cost of goods sold" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(4) For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, other non-recurring items consist of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of fees related to non-recurring projects.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $23.0 million compared to $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was driven largely by lower operating expenses as described elsewhere in this Item 2. Year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates unfavorably impacted Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
We are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims incidental to the operation of our business. We are also subject to certain other legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business that have not been fully adjudicated. We currently do not anticipate that these matters, if resolved against us, will have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
For further information regarding our legal proceedings and claims, see Note 15, Legal Proceedings and Contingencies, included in Part I, Item 1, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A – Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in or additions to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Our Digipass authentication devices are assembled by third-party manufacturers located in China and Romania, using components from suppliers in a wide range of geographic locations, including China. The U.S. presidential administration recently imposed new or additional tariffs on foreign goods, including very high tariffs on certain Chinese imports. Although sales to U.S. customers account for a small portion of our Digipass sales, these tariffs could negatively impact our financial results. In some cases, we may not be able to pass the cost of the tariffs to our customers, which would negatively affect our profit margin. Even if we can pass on these costs, the tariffs and the economic uncertainty they cause may discourage customers from placing Digipass orders or lead them to decrease or delay such orders. Additional expansion of or increases to tariffs would exacerbate these impacts. Although we are planning measures to mitigate the potential impact of the China tariffs on our business, including moving more of our Digipass production to Romania, these measures are unlikely to fully offset the impact, particularly in the near term.
In addition, in response to tariffs, other countries have implemented, or may implement in the future, retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which could in turn have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.
