Current report

Enhanced U.S. tariffs, import/export restrictions and countermeasures taken by affected countries are contributing to macroeconomic volatility which in turn is impacting demand and our cost inputs. Spending patterns remain uneven due to the unpredictable impact of trade policies, and we may need to implement tariff-related input cost increases.

Current report

The Company applied the fair value measurement requirements within ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements to evaluate the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with its acquisition of ThreatX Protect in February 2025. The Company estimated fair value and remaining useful life of the intangible assets acquired based on the price that would be received if the Company were to sell the intangible assets in an orderly transaction between market participants. Intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful life. See Note 5 Acquisition for additional information.

Previous report

We sell our products globally to service providers and enterprises that depend on data center applications and networks to generate revenue and manage operations efficiently. We report two customer verticals: service providers and enterprises, and we report customer revenues in three broad geographic regions: the Americas, APJ and EMEA regions. The Americas region comprises the United States and other countries in the Americas (excluding the United States). The APJ region comprises Japan and other countries in Asia Pacific. The EMEA region comprises Europe, Middle East and Africa. We believe this geographic revenue view is consistent with how we evaluate our financial performance.

Previous report

Services revenue increased $2.3 million, or 9%, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods of 2023, primarily attributable to an increase in PCS sales as a result of our growing installed customer base across all regions.

Previous report

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, $9.5 million, or 14% of total revenue, was generated from the EMEA region, which represents a 12% decrease compared to the same period of 2023.

Previous report

Total net revenue increased $6.2 million, or 3%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period of 2023.

Previous wording

We derive revenue from two sources: (i) products revenue, which includes hardware, perpetual software license and subscription offerings, which include term-based license agreements; and (ii) services revenue, which includes post contract support (“PCS”), professional services, training and software-as-a-service offerings. Revenue for term-based license agreements is recognized at a point in time when the Company delivers the software license to the customer and over time once the subscription term has commenced. For our software-as-a-service offerings, our customers do not take possession of the Company’s software but rather we provide access to the service via a hosting arrangement. Revenue in these arrangements is recognized over time as the services are provided. A substantial portion of our revenue is from sales of our products and services through distribution channels, such as resellers and distributors. Our customers predominantly purchase PCS services in conjunction with purchases of our products. We recognize services revenue ratably over the term of the PCS contract, which is typically one year, but can be up to seven years.

We sell substantially all of our solutions through our high-touch sales organization as well as distribution channels, including distributors, value-added resellers and system integrators, and fulfill nearly all orders globally through such channels.

We outsource the manufacturing of our hardware products to original design manufacturers. We perform quality assurance and testing at our San Jose, Taiwan and Japan distribution centers, as well as at our manufacturers’ locations.

Previous wording

As a result of the nature of our target market and the current stage of our development, a substantial portion of our revenue comes from a limited number of large customers, including service providers and enterprise customers, in any period. Purchases by our ten largest end-customers accounted for 44% and 29% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Sales to these large end-customers have typically been characterized by large but irregular purchases with long sales cycles. The timing of these purchases and the delivery of the purchased products are difficult to predict. Consequently, any acceleration or delay in anticipated product purchases by or deliveries to our largest customers could materially impact our revenue and operating results in any quarterly period. This may cause our quarterly revenue and operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and make them difficult to predict.
