Our mission
Our mission is to enable professional and financial services firms to better connect their people, processes, and data through AI-powered software solutions.
Overview
Intapp is a leading provider of industry-specific, cloud-based software solutions for the professional and financial services industry globally. We empower the worlds premier private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting firms with the technology they need to meet rapidly changing client, investor, and regulatory requirements, deliver the right insights to the right professionals, and operate more competitively.
Our Intapp Platform is purpose-built to modernize these firms. The platform facilitates greater team collaboration, digitizes complex workflows to optimize deal and engagement execution, and leverages proprietary AI to help nurture relationships and originate new business. By better connecting their most important assetspeople, processes, and dataour platform helps firms increase client fees and investment returns, operate more efficiently, and better manage risk and compliance.
The professional and financial services industry is one of the largest sectors in the global economy. Firms in this industry operate in a highly connected ecosystem, providing valuable expertise, insight, and advice to a broad range of companies across multiple transactions and engagements. The industry is competitive and uniquely structured around highly experienced partners and professionals who leverage knowledge, intellectual capital, and relationships to succeed, as opposed to providing physical goods. Firms must manage an intricate web of complex, non-linear relationships spread across various functions, processes, and personnel while also navigating an ever-changing regulatory environment.
Historically, firms in the professional and financial services industry have either relied on internally built technology solutions and legacy on-premises software or attempted to use horizontal software providers for their industry-specific technology needs. Internally built or legacy solutions tend to be outdated, expensive, and cumbersome to maintain, while horizontal
1
solutions do not align well with how these firms operate and require heavy customization. As a result, we believe these firms are increasingly embracing industry-specific software and AI technology to achieve improved levels of growth, investment, returns, productivity, risk management, and a differentiated experience for their clients, teams, and investors.
Our deep understanding of the professional and financial services industry has enabled us to develop a suite of solutions on the Intapp Platform tailored to address these challenges faced by firms. We offer two solutions:
DealCloud is our deal and relationship management solution for financial services firms. The solution manages firms market relationships, prospective clients and investments, current engagements and deal processes, and operations and compliance activities, allowing investors and advisors to react faster, make better decisions, and execute the best deals. For investment banks and advisory firms, this helps enhance their coverage models, achieve greater win rates, and drive higher success fees. For investors, this helps increase origination volume, support investment selection, and drive greater returns.
OnePlace is our solution to manage all aspects of a professional services firms client and engagement lifecycle. The solution improves client strategy and targeting, business development and origination, and work delivery, increasing financial performance and regulatory compliance. Professionals make better decisions faster by leveraging more institutional knowledge from across the firm.
We believe our solutions provide us with a competitive advantage, driven by our deep domain expertise gained over 20 years of serving professional and financial services firms. We have cultivated difficult-to-replicate, privileged access to these firms to develop thorough expertise in how they work and what they need. Clients value our scalable platforms differentiated domain expertise, purpose-built capabilities, comprehensive end-to-end offering, data-driven AI insights, and industry brand. Our client base represents many of the worlds premier professional and financial services firms, including 96 of the Am Law 100 law firms, 7 of the Top 8 accounting firms, and over 900 private capital and investment banking firms.
We sell our software on a subscription basis through a direct enterprise sales model. As of June 30, 2020, we had over 1,400 clients. Our business has historically grown through a combination of expanding within our existing client baseincluding additional users and capabilitiesand selling to new clients. With our scalable, modular cloud-based platform, we believe we are well positioned to continue our growth.
Our total revenues for fiscal year 2020 were $186.9 million, an increase of 30% over the total revenues for fiscal year 2019 of $143.2 million. Net losses attributable to us for fiscal years 2019 and 2020 were $17.1 million and $45.9 million, respectively. Our Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR) were $143.4 million and $172.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, an increase of 20%. Recently, the majority of our ARR growth has been driven by the sale of SaaS subscriptions. Our Cloud ARR were $47.3 million and $74.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, an increase of 57%.
Industry background
The professional and financial services industry is one of the largest sectors in the global economy. Within this industry, we primarily focus on private capital, investment banking, legal,
2
accounting, and consulting firms, which, based on the research we have conducted, we believe collectively represent a $3 trillion sector. These firms are fundamental to the growth and development of the global economy.
Professional and financial services firms provide valuable expertise, insight, and advice to companies throughout their lifecycle, from early stages of growth to maturity. Professional and financial services firms operate in a highly connected ecosystem, frequently providing services and advice to the same end client, or partnering with each other on a specific transaction for the same end client such as an initial public offering, or IPO. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for a single professional or financial services firm to provide multiple services to the same client, as is the case for a Big 4 accounting firm that provides accounting, consulting, taxation, investment banking, legal, and other services.
Professional and financial services firms business models have unique, differentiating characteristics
Firms in the professional and financial services industry are organized around knowledge, intellectual capital, and relationships as opposed to physical goods, manufacturing, and supply chains. Firms leverage their specific domain expertise and collective experience to provide their clients with valuable insights and advice or to drive differentiated returns for investors. Instead of a typical sales cycle focused on selling a specific product, these firms have long, continuous, relationship-based sales cycles focused on winning and maintaining client engagements over time, or identifying and closing a series of transactions.
Client engagements often require these firms to manage an intricate web of complex, non-linear relationships spread across various functions, processes, and personnel. As a result, these firms must maintain strong processes to manage confidentiality, potential conflicts of interest and ethical walls in order to monitor and manage risk tied to accepting and winning new engagements. Furthermore, monetization models for these firms tend to be based on success fees or billable hours, or capital returns performance.
The structure of professional and financial services firms is fundamentally different than that of organizations in other industries, such as manufacturing and retail, that consist of large departmental groups with a very small C-suite layer overseeing the entire organization. Professional and financial services firms are structured and organized such that a large number of highly experienced partners and professionals are tasked with operating and managing their own practices or pools of capital to drive business outcomes with departmental functions providing supporting services.
The relationship lifecycle is the cornerstone of success in professional and financial services
Client relationships are the cornerstone of professional and financial services firms success. They are critical strategic assets and building and maintaining those relationships through a companys lifecycle underpins how professional and financial services firms realize maximum economic value for their services over time. A comprehensive approach to the relationship lifecycle boosts a professional and financial services firms competitive positioning while increasing its share of the clients business.
Many professional and financial services firms seek to deploy a structured and connected approach to the relationship lifecycle which includes client development, business acceptance,
3
and delivery of client services. Ensuring client satisfaction at every stage of the lifecycle leads to significant gains in winning and maintaining new business by delivering the right insights to the right professionals at the right time. Conversely, any shortcomings in these processes either jeopardize the client experience or lead to failures to capitalize on an opportunity and thus negatively impact the overall client relationship. Therefore, professional and financial services firms seek holistic, unified solutions to deliver successful business outcomes across the entire lifecycle.
Professional and financial services firms utilize complex data and cross-functional processes
To help win new business and ensure client success, teams at professional and financial services firms utilize multiple complex data sources and cross-functional processes that span various personnel functions and systems. Professionals use and analyze vast amounts of both internal and external data sources, such as client, deal, and market data, that reside in various siloed systems. Data needs to be aggregated from these various siloed systems, put in the right context for the right user, and integrated with relevant systems and applications. For example, throughout a typical law firms workflow cycle, multiple personnel must address a complex number of interdependent tasks (as the diagram below indicates). As professional and financial services firms expand the number of clients and projects, these tasks increase the complexity and collective interdependence required of the teams in the client lifecycle process.
Professional and financial services firms are increasingly embracing digital transformation and use of industry-specific software
Multiple catalysts are driving the rapid adoption of technology in the professional and financial services industry.
4
| Rising client expectations and intensifying competitive environment. The professional and financial services industry is experiencing a transformation driven by rising client expectations, an intensifying, expanding competitive landscape, and increased transaction activity. To continue to grow and compete, professional services firms are broadening their capabilities and expanding into new segments, such as the Big 4 accounting firms expansion into consulting, taxation, legal, and other services. Similarly, private capital firms focused on equity investments are diversifying into other asset classes such as debt. Additionally, in the private capital markets, there are a rising number of firms competing for the same clients or assets, which is further intensifying the competitive landscape. Clients now have more options and are more informed about process and value. As a result, the market has tipped in favor of the clients, who are increasingly setting the agenda, demanding greater transparency, agility, value, and productivity, and better insights from professional and financial services firms. In light of these evolving industry dynamics and client expectations, technology is becoming increasingly necessary to compete successfully, with professional and financial services firms utilizing data-driven business solutions to differentiate their expertise, offerings, and value in order to drive business outcomes. |
| Adoption of cloud-based software continues to accelerate. Mission-critical applications are increasingly being delivered more reliably, securely, cost-effectively and with high scalability to clients via the cloud. New versions and updates are rapidly deployed to all clients. Historically, firms in the professional and financial services industry have relied on internally built solutions and legacy on-premises software. However, with rapid innovation and rising client expectations, these solutions are becoming outdated, less secure, and expensive to maintain. More importantly, cloud-based solutions more readily enable real-time collaboration and provide access to valuable data from anywhere, anytime, on any device. As a result, professional and financial services firms are increasingly adopting and implementing cloud-based software within their organizations. |
| Unlocking and maintaining collective knowledge and expertise. Knowledge and expertise are among the most valuable assets of professional and financial services firms and underpin the relationships that drive value for these organizations. In an increasingly competitive environment, professional and financial services firms are continuously seeking to differentiate themselves on the basis of their knowledge and intellectual capital. Capturing, codifying, and retaining institutional knowledge and expertise is a critical priority. Unlocking the full power of the collective knowledge of a firm requires domain expertise to ascertain the information critical to a professional or financial services firm, a systematic technological approach to capture this data and relevant connections, and the ability to leverage this data to deliver contextual insightsthe right insights, to the right professionals, at the right time. |
In partner-led firms, turnover in senior leadership and other highly experienced professionals carries an inherent risk of losing accumulated knowledge, expertise, skills, networks, and relationships. Furthermore, young professionals joining the workforce have a greater tendency to switch jobs or firms, thus exacerbating the problem of maintaining institutional knowledge. As a result, many firms are turning to technology as a means of harnessing the value of their knowledge assets.
5
| Access to vast repositories of real-time internal and external data. Data in the professional and financial services industry is increasing and has historically been siloed across a large number of systems. There are vast amounts of real-time data to which firms now have access, whether internal or external. However, a significant amount of that data is underutilized, lacks accessibility and availability, and suffers quality issues. These issues are in part due to the challenges of cleansing and stitching together data from siloed systems. In recent years, more professional and financial services firms are realizing the value of collating and connecting internal and external data and integrating such data with the relevant systems and applications for the right user in the right context. |
| The use of AI is creating a significant competitive advantage. AI is poised to play a bigger role in transforming the professional and financial services industry relative to other industries, since value delivered by professionals in the industry is centered around providing knowledge, insight, and advice. Collecting, aggregating, and subsequently synthesizing the vast amounts of data in real-time to extract actionable intelligence is critical for firms in the professional and financial services industry, yet nearly impossible to do without the use of AI. Furthermore, AI is able to automate processes to deliver those insights with great speed. The use of AI is creating significant competitive advantages for firms by enabling them to unify disparate data sources, surface key insights, manage unforeseen risks, and increase efficiency through higher levels of automation in core processes. |
| Generational shift in technology use at work. Professional and financial services relationships are highly dependent on human capital, making it crucial for firms to attract, retain, and nurture talent. The global economy is experiencing changing workforce dynamics such as remote workforces, which have been accelerated by COVID-19, as well as a generational shift in the workforce. These evolving dynamics are making it increasingly challenging for firms to attract and retain talent in the industry. Younger generations have grown up with smartphones, laptops, and social media being the norm, and expect seamless access to information and high-quality user experiences. Given that most professionals in the industry are mobile, having access to valuable data from anywhere, anytime, and on any device is a key competitive advantage. According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) survey, two-thirds of millennials said that state-of-the-art technology was important to them when considering an employer, and a majority of millennials in financial services make use of their own technology at work to make them more effective. As younger professionals take on leadership roles in the professional and financial services industry, they are more likely to invest in modern technology solutions for their firms, relative to the prior generation. |
Existing approaches to manage critical and complex processes for professional and financial services firms are inadequate
Traditionally, professional and financial services firms have used an array of solutions to manage their critical and complex processes. These solutions include:
| Internally developed solutions. These internally developed solutions have become increasingly expensive to maintain and lack next-generation technology features and capabilities such as security, governance, and scalability. |
6
| Legacy solutions. These solutions have become increasingly outdated due to their aging architecture or limited capabilities, usability, and functionality. They are predominately on-premises and have continued to fall behind SaaS solutions and comprehensive, end-to-end industry-specific platforms. |
| Horizontal solutions. These solutions were designed for traditional, manufacturing, and retail-based industries and thus require complex and expensive customization to fit the unique needs of the professional and financial services industry. Even with customization, these platforms often fail to align with the ways these firms operate. |
These solutions, either used individually or in combination, often fall short of meeting the needs of the professional and financial services industry as they fail to provide a unified view of a firms critical data, do not align with processes specific to the industry, or are expensive, slow, complex, manual, error-prone, and require significant customization.
Our market opportunity
We believe the underlying trends in the professional and financial services industry present a compelling market opportunity for Intapp. The failure of legacy systems and horizontal solutions to adequately address the specialized technology needs of todays professional and financial services firms creates demand for companies like Intapp that focus on industry-specific, cloud-based software solutions. Our market opportunity encompasses both displacing alternative solutions currently used within these firms and penetrating white space areas within these firmsareas where no software solution is currently being used but where Intapp can otherwise address the business need with one of our existing or near-term solutions.
We believe private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting collectively represent a massive $3 trillion industry based on research we have conducted. We believe this industry has a significant need to utilize software to help drive business success, with total addressable market for business software at approximately $23.9 billion. Within this, we believe the serviceable addressable market (SAM) opportunity, based on Intapps current solutions, to be approximately $9.6 billion, of which over $6.5 billion would be attributable to large firms with over 500 employees. The total number of firms across the private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting sectors is estimated on a global basis. This SAM estimate was calculated by multiplying the average number of professionals per firm by the annual price per professional that we expect to charge to utilize the Intapp Platform on a fully adopted basis, for our existing products only, based upon market interviews and our historical data and experience. We believe our SAM opportunity will increase over time as we expect to continue to develop new solutions and selectively pursue potential acquisitions to address other capabilities demanded by professional and financial services firms to drive their business success.
Our platform
Our Intapp Platform is purpose-built to modernize these firms. The platform facilitates greater team collaboration, digitizes complex workflows to optimize deal and engagement execution, and leverages proprietary AI to help nurture relationships and originate new business. By better connecting their most important assetspeople, processes, and dataour platform helps firms increase client fees and investment returns, operate more efficiently, and better manage risk and compliance.

Our deep understanding of the professional and financial services industry has enabled us to develop a suite of solutions on the Intapp Platform tailored to address these challenges faced by firms.
We offer these solutions through an integrated platform that features three key categories of capabilities: a tailored and configurable user experience (UX) based on industry-specific templates, modern AI and intelligence applied to high-value domain-specific use cases, and a specialized data architecture that accurately reflects the unique firm operating model.
Industry solutions

Intapp Platform
Our solutions are built on a single platform, taking advantage of shared capabilities tailor-made for the unique requirements of firms. Key features include:
Low-code configurability and personalized UX
Our configurable UX capabilities allow technical and non-technical users to rapidly tailor our applications to meet their specific needs. These capabilities enable our clients to make meaningful changes to their user experience, processes, or business rules with drag-and-drop configuration features and functionality without having to perform custom coding. The flexibility of this framework enables firms to maximize their agility, easily adapting the software to match the frequent changes in their business.
We leverage our deep domain expertise in professional and financial services to create and provide our clients access to pre-built industry-relevant configuration templates that are designed precisely for how these firms and their professionals operate. By mapping the user interface, data model, and workflows of our platform to firms unique industry and organizational requirements, we can deliver smart, personalized experiences by practice area, asset class, investment strategy, sector, industry, and geography.
Applied artificial intelligence
Industry-specific AI is embedded throughout our platform and solutions to help professional and financial services firms use their vast amounts of data to optimize critical processes and make better, faster decisions. The applications of AI span a wide range across firm operations, from strategy and business development through to risk and compliance and work execution. Examples include:
| Automatically analyzing all past engagements by shared characteristics, to derive data-validated intelligence that can be used to improve pricing strategies, and optimize staffing levels. |
| Enhancing conflicts review on matters with large number of parties, for example, bankruptcies or restructuring, to accelerate conflicts clearance and help firms open matters faster with fewer errors. |
| Capturing billable activities to find missing time and automatically fill out timesheets to reduce revenue leakage, minimize write-offs, and accelerate cash and collections. |
Industry-specific data architecture
Our platform includes several key data management capabilities that help firms more effectively capture and leverage their critical data using a system of record that reflects the unique operating model of professional and financial services. These capabilities include:
9
| Hyper-relational data architecture. Our hyper-relational data architecture is a specialized data model, purpose-built to capture the complex relationships unique to professional and financial services. The platform creates many-to-many data linkages that connect professionals with prospective clients, investors and target portfolio companies and assets. Our solutions leverage these linkages to provide personalized analysis and insights for each professional that reflects his or her unique area of specialty, including client industry, asset class, investment strategy, geography, transaction type, and others. |
| Low-code integration platform. Intapp Integration Service is a core capability of our platform that provides cloud-native and easy-to-use, enterprise class integration to connect any application, any data, anywhere across firms without requiring any code. The solution helps firms overcome data silos and easily move information between systems, including within our platform. Intapp Integration Service includes more than 100 industry-specific connectors, as well as extensive built-in workflow and automation capabilities tailored to the unique needs of professional and financial services firms. |
| Market intelligence in one place. Our platform combines proprietary and third-party market data, transforming it into institutional knowledge that gives dealmakers and other professionals a competitive advantage through better market intelligence. Professionals can easily run complex reports, analyze industry trends, and evaluate potential synergies in the same place where they originate new business and manage relationships. With better real-time, actionable market data, investors can source and close deals that best match their investment thesis and strategy, advisory professionals can quickly develop proprietary relationships and coverage strategies with companies that match previous transactions, and lawyers can more accurately identify white space opportunities with global clients to grow their relationships. |
Key benefits of our solution
Our platform solutions helps professional and financial services firms to:
| Increase revenues and investment returns. Our clients leverage Intapps solutions to increase their revenues and investment returns by improving their origination and business development effectiveness, optimizing market coverage, and helping nurture key relationships to ensure time is spent with the right people and that those relationships convert into business. Our solutions provide firms with a single source of truth and 360 degrees views of key clients, related investments, potential new clients and investments, and prospective deals, giving partners, professionals, and dealmakers a competitive advantage in the market. |
| Operate more efficiently and profitably.

Using Intapps workflow, analytics, and AI capabilities, firms can connect and operationalize their formerly disjointed engagement and deal lifecycle, eliminating manual processes, reducing duplicative data entry, and scaling to support growing businesses with less overhead. This focus includes critical processes such as investor relations, business development, conflicts clearance and business acceptance, engagement planning and resourcing, and billing and collections. Our cloud-based delivery model also reduces firms operating costs by eliminating their need to own, upgrade, and support the solutions or associated hardware infrastructure. |
10
| Manage risk and compliance more effectively. Our solutions help firms reduce regulatory, financial, and reputational risk through workflow and automation, AI, predictive analytics, and rules-based risk scoring. Using Intapp, risk and compliance teams can work seamlessly together with front office professionals, all within the Intapp Platform, to quickly assess new business opportunities, clear and manage conflicts and independence issues, easily establish ethical walls, prepare for regulatory or client audits, and dynamically respond to rapidly changing regulatory landscapes and the firms overall risk posture. |
| Leverage collective knowledge for competitive advantage. Our solutions provide a competitive advantage to firms by helping leverage their immense, but often under-utilized, collective knowledge. With integrated and connected information about investors, economic sectors, deals, clients, engagements, and relationships, combined with relevant third-party data, firm professionals are armed to make better, faster decisions, with better market insights and the knowledge with which to develop stronger relationships and increased business from clients, potential new clients, investors, and potential new investors. |

We conduct regular meetings with industry advisory boards who, along with serving as strong references for our platform, provide valuable insights into the challenges facing their firms and the issues they need technology to address the most. As a result, we believe we have an inherent competitive advantage in identifying, prioritizing, and innovating our software platform to support the industrys evolving technology needs. |
| Purpose-built for professional and financial services. Our platform has been designed for the unique organizational structure and day-to-day processes of professional and financial services firms. Our industry-relevant templates provide a familiar interface, nomenclature, and data model. The software is easily configured to match the needs of these professionals. This makes our software intuitive for the professionals that use it and easy to integrate alongside the rest of the firms IT and business process infrastructure, and delivers rapid time-to-value, in contrast with horizontal software solutions retrofitted for these firms. |
| Comprehensive cloud-based platform. We offer an end-to-end platform serving the entirety of the complex workflows of our clients, enabling firms to manage all of their important data and perform critical processes on one highly scalable and secure cloud platform. Our platform contains all of the functionality users expect of modern cloud software, such as a scalable architecture, cloud security, elegant and easy-to-use interfaces, common APIs, robust mobile accessibility, and data integration. We believe this capability is differentiated from many other software providers that either lack such modern functionality designed specifically for our target industry or can only deliver a point solution within the relationship (deal and engagement) lifecycle. |
11
| Data-driven AI insights and capabilities. More than 100 industry-specific connectors integrate with the Intapp Platform. Our technology captures and combines a firms internal proprietary data with third-party data systems to deliver a connected, single source of truth to the firms professionals. This data is augmented by contextual insights, utilizing our proprietary AI to provide intelligence to inform professionals decision-making processes throughout the entire relationship lifecycle. |
| Industry leadership and brand recognition. We are a premier software company dedicated to serving the professional and financial services industry and have developed a strong reputation in the industry over the last 20 years. Our software is increasingly valuable to professional and financial services firms across the globe that are deploying a purpose-built platform for critical processes within their organization. We currently power 96 of the Am Law 100 law firms, 7 of the top 8 accounting firms, and more than 900 private capital and investment banking firms. We believe clients recognize our Intapp, OnePlace, and DealCloud brands and believe us to be a thought leader in the industry. The professional and financial services industry is tightly interconnected. As such, many professionals who move from firm to firm and are exposed to our best-in-class solutions support our success by recommending our solutions to their new employers, setting us up to drive significant further adoption of our platform and further expanding our brand recognition. |
| Experienced management and technology team. With two decades of working together, our management team brings a combination of leadership, strong relationship with the industry leaders, and difficult-to-replicate industry domain expertise. In addition, with our long history of serving the professional and financial services industry, our technology team brings public company-scale platform experience, significant AI technology depth, and industry expertise to address the needs of our clients. Our founders continue to set our product vision and lead the organization, drawing on a team of AI Ph.D.s and data scientists, advisors from academia, and industry advisory boards who guide our product investment decisions to create differentiating capabilities. |
Our growth strategies
We plan to extend our leadership position as a provider of industry SaaS solutions for professional and financial services. The key components of our growth strategy are:
| Capitalize on a generational shift to the cloud. Mission-critical applications are increasingly being delivered more reliably, securely and cost-effectively via the cloud, which can more readily enable real-time collaboration and provide access to valuable data from anywhere, anytime, on any device. As more professionals embrace cloud technologies, they drive the accelerated adoption of additional cloud capabilities across their firms. We believe we are now in the early stages of a strong adoption cycle of cloud-based solutions by professional and financial services firms, driven in part by the needs of the next generation of professionals for purpose-built technology and software solutions. |
| Expand within our existing client base. We have a deep, longstanding, and trust-based relationship with our clients. Our land-and-expand model generates multi-year growth within our client base, with client lifetimes often spanning more than a decade. Clients typically adopt our modular solution to address a specific use case, and then expand their use by adopting |
12
more modules, adding more users, and deploying to other parts of their organization over time. We estimate that if our largest 100 clients expanded their use of Intapp Platform to serve all of their users in all parts of their organizationsrepresenting full adoption and usage of the current Intapp Platform capabilitiesthose 100 clients could represent an additional Intapp sales opportunities in excess of $1 billion of ARR. |
| Grow our client base. We believe we are addressing a large, underserved market of approximately 60,000 firms with high demand for the capabilities we offer, and that we have a significant opportunity to continue to grow our client base. We have added approximately 200 net new clients for each of fiscal year 2019 and 2020, excluding acquired clients. We will continue to invest in our sales and marketing force to target new client opportunities and grow our client base. |
| Add new solutions to our platform. We plan to continue investing in our research and development team to enhance the functionality and breadth of our current solutions, as well as to develop and launch new solutions to address the evolving needs of our clients. In particular, we are continuing to invest resources in extending our AI and data science capabilities to better connect people, processes, and data. |
| Broaden our geographical reach. In fiscal year 2020, we derived 28% of our revenue from international markets outside the United States. We believe there is a significant need for our solutions on a global basis and, accordingly, opportunity for us to grow our business through further international expansion. We will continue to broaden our global footprint and intend to establish a presence in additional international markets. |
| Selectively pursue strategic transactions. We have acquired and successfully integrated several complementary businesses that allowed us to enhance our platform, add new technology capabilities, and address new client segments. For example, we acquired DealCloud in 2018 to better target private capital and investment banking clients with cloud-based deal management, pipeline management, and CRM functionalities. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that will help us extend our market leadership and client reach. |
Summary risk factors
Our ability to implement our business strategy is subject to numerous risks, as more fully described under the heading Risk Factors in this prospectus. These risks include, among others, that:
| we may not be able to continue our growth at or near historical rates; |
| we have a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future; |
| the global COVID-19 outbreak could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition; |
| we may experience data breaches, unauthorized access to client data, or other disruptions of our solutions; |
| U.S. and global market and economic conditions may materially impact our or our clients operations; |
13
| our sales cycle is lengthy and variable; |
| we may not effectively manage our expanding operations; |
| we operate in highly competitive markets; |
| we will likely face additional complexity, burdens, and volatility in connection with our international sales and operations; and |
| third parties may assert we are infringing or violating their intellectual property rights. |
Implications of being an emerging growth company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
| not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); |
| only two years of audited financial statements are required in addition to any required interim financial statements, and correspondingly reduced disclosure in managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations; and |
| (i) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (ii) exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, including golden parachute compensation. |
When we are no longer deemed to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (1) the last day of fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues; (2) the date we qualify as a large accelerated filer, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter, we have been required to file annual, quarterly, and current reports under the Exchange Act for at least twelve months, and we have filed at least one annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the last day of fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering.
We have availed ourselves in this prospectus of the reduced reporting requirements described above. We expect to continue to avail ourselves of the emerging growth company exemptions described above for so long as we remain an emerging growth company. As a result, the information that we provide to stockholders will be less comprehensive than what you might receive from other public companies.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
14
We have elected to use the extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company and (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

About this prospectus
Basis of presentation
Our fiscal year ends on June 30. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word fiscal year refers to the twelve months ended June 30 of that year. For example, references to fiscal year 2020 refer to the twelve months ended June 30, 2020. Any reference to a year not preceded by fiscal year refers to a calendar year. Certain amounts, percentages, and other figures presented in this prospectus have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals, dollars, or percentage amounts of changes may not represent the arithmetic summation or calculation of the figures that precede them.
As used throughout this prospectus, the following terms have the meanings or are calculated as set forth below:
| We define recurring revenues as the revenues derived from the sale of our software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, subscriptions to our term software applications, and from providing support for these applications. |
| We define professional services revenues as the revenues derived from our implementation, configuration, upgrade, and consulting professional services through non-recurring fee arrangements. |
| We define annual recurring revenues, or ARR, as the annualized recurring value of the current portion of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period, including subscriptions for use of SaaS and on premises-based offerings. Contracts with a term other than one year are annualized by taking the committed contract value for the current period divided by number of days in that period then multiplying by 365. |
| We define cloud ARR as the portion of our ARR which represents the annualized value of our SaaS contracts at the end of a reporting period. |
| We define a client at the end of any particular period as an entity with at least one active subscription as of the measurement date. In the case where several entities are related to a single brand or name (e.g. different global offices), we treat those entities as a single client. In addition, all entities that share a single contract are considered together as one client. |
| We define the Existing Holders as the direct equity holders of LegalApp Holdings, Inc. immediately prior to this offering, including Anderson Investments Pte. Ltd. (Temasek) and Great Hill Equity Partners IV, L.P. (Great Hill). |
Market and industry data
Certain market and industry data included in this prospectus has been obtained from third-party sources that we believe to be reliable. Market estimates are calculated by using independent industry publications, government publications, and third-party forecasts in conjunction with our assumptions about our markets. We have not independently verified such third-party information. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any market, industry, or similar data presented herein, such data involves risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the headings Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors in this prospectus.
16
Trademarks, service marks and trade names
We own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that we use in connection with the operation of our business. We use our Intapp trademark and related design marks in this prospectus. This prospectus may also contain trademarks, service marks, and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. Our use or display of third parties trademarks, service marks, trade names, or products in this prospectus is not intended to, and does not imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship by us. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks, and trade names referred to in this prospectus may appear without the ®, TM, or SM symbols, but the omission of such references is not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights, or the right of the applicable owner of these trademarks, service marks, and trade names.
Non-GAAP financial measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we believe certain non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. In addition to GAAP financial measures, management reviews Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP operating profit, each a non-GAAP measure, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate our financial performance as these metrics eliminate certain items which do not relate to overall operating performance.
Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, and enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance. Although the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may vary from company to company, our detailed presentation may facilitate analysis and comparison of our operating results by management and investors with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results in their public disclosures.
| We define Non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit before the portion related to cost of revenues of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and certain restructuring costs. |
| We define Non-GAAP operating profit as GAAP operating loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and certain acquisition-related transaction costs and restructuring costs. |
These non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations in the use of non-GAAP measures because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate similar non-GAAP measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Investors are
17
encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
For a reconciliation of each of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see Selected Consolidated Financial DataNon-GAAP Financial Measures.

(6) | ARR represents the annualized recurring value of the current portion of all active SaaS and on-premises subscription contracts at the end of a reporting period. Contracts with a term other than one year are annualized by taking the committed contract value for the current period divided by number of days in that period then multiplying by 365. ARR mitigates fluctuations due to certain factors, including contract term and the sales mix of SaaS contracts and subscription licenses. 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 revenues and deferred revenues and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our clients. |
(7) | Cloud ARR is the portion of our ARR which represents the annualized value of our SaaS contracts. We believe Cloud ARR provides important information about our ability to sell new SaaS subscriptions to existing clients and to acquire new SaaS clients. |

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with other information set forth in this prospectus, including the section titled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, prospects, results of operations, and cash flow could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or a part of your investment. The risks discussed below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks or uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, results of operations, or cash flows. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed in the risk factors below will not occur.
Risks related to our business and industry
Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.
We have been growing rapidly over the last several years, and as a result, our ability to forecast our future results of operations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to effectively plan for and model future growth. Our recent and historical growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. In future periods, our revenues could grow more slowly than in recent periods or decline for a number of reasons, including any reduction in demand for our Intapp Platform, increase in competition, limited ability to, or our decision not to, increase pricing, or our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in new and rapidly changing markets. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, our growth rates may slow and our business would suffer.
We have a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
We have incurred net losses of $17.1 million and $45.9 million in fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. We must generate and sustain higher revenue levels in future periods to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our profitability. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we expend substantial financial and other resources on, among other things:
| sales and marketing, including expanding our direct sales team and online marketing programs; |
| investments in the development of new products and new features for, and enhancements of, our existing product portfolio; |
| expansion of our operations and infrastructure organically and through acquisitions and strategic partnerships, both domestically and internationally; and |
25
| general administration, including legal, risk management, accounting, and other expenses related to being a public company. |
These expenditures may not result in additional revenues or the growth of our business. Accordingly, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to offset our expected cost increases and achieve and sustain profitability. If we fail to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our common stock could decline.
All of our revenues are generated by sales to clients in our targeted verticals, and factors, including U.S. and global market and economic conditions, that adversely affect the applicable industry could also adversely affect us.
Currently, all of our sales are to clients in the professional and financial services industry. Demand for our solutions could be affected by factors that are unique to and adversely affect our targeted verticals. In particular, our clients in the professional and financial services industry are highly regulated, subject to intense competition and impacted by changes in general economic and market conditions. For example, changes in applicable laws and regulations could significantly impact the software functionality demanded by our clients and require us to expend significant resources to ensure our solutions continue to meet their evolving needs. In addition, other industry-specific factors, such as industry consolidation or the introduction of competing technology, could lead to a significant reduction in the number of clients that use our solutions within a particular vertical or the services demanded by these clients.
Further, our clients in the professional and financial services industry are particularly sensitive to U.S. and global market and economic conditions. General worldwide economic conditions remain unstable, making it difficult for our clients and us to forecast and plan future business activities accurately. Adverse changes in domestic and global economic and political conditions, including those associated with the decision by referendum to withdraw the United Kingdom from the European Union in June 2016 (Brexit), the recent imposition of various trade tariffs and the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in significant decreases in demand for our solutions, including the delay or cancellation of current or anticipated projects, and reduction in IT spending by our clients and potential clients, or could present difficulties in collecting accounts receivables from our clients due to their deteriorating financial condition. Our existing clients may be acquired by or merged into other entities that use our competitors products, or they may decide to terminate their relationships with us for other reasons. Additionally, our market verticals are also interdependent. Our clients in the professional services industry rely significantly on revenues they receive from their own clients in the financial services industry, thus a decline in one vertical can lead to a decline in the other vertical. As a result, our ability to generate revenues from our clients could be adversely affected by specific factors that affect the professional and financial services industry.
Public health outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics, including the global COVID-19 outbreak, could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Public health outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, could materially and adversely impact our business. For example, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 virus outbreak a global pandemic, and numerous countries, including the United States, have declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The outbreak and certain intensified preventative or protective public health measures undertaken by governments, businesses, and individuals to contain the spread of COVID-19, including orders to shelter-in-place and restrictions on travel and
26
permitted business operations, have, and continue to, result in global business disruptions that adversely affect workforces, organizations, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn and increased market volatility.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, an adverse impact on our business. The conditions caused by the pandemic have adversely affected or may in the future adversely affect, among other things, demand, spending by new clients, renewal and retention rates of existing clients, the length of our sales cycles, the value and duration of subscriptions, collections of accounts receivable, our IT and other expenses, our ability to recruit, and the ability of our employees to travel, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have suspended international and domestic travel and limited our in-person marketing activities. The outbreak also presents operational challenges as our workforce, including our technical support team, is currently working remotely and shifting to assisting clients who are also generally working remotely. We depend on key officers and employees; should any of them become ill and unable to work, it could impact our productivity and business continuity. Additionally, we may incur increased costs in the future when employees return to work and we will need to implement measures to ensure their safety and as they resume in person marketing events and travel.
Our clients have similarly been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain clients have and may continue to fail to renew subscriptions, request to renegotiate current contracts, reduce their usage, and/or fail to expand their usage of our solutions within their organizations. Because we recognize revenues over the term of the agreements for our SaaS solutions, any downturn in our business resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may not be reflected immediately in our operating results, which increases the difficulty of evaluating our future financial performance. Further, our sales cycles could increase, resulting in a slower growth of new sales. Certain of our competitors may also be better equipped to weather the impact of COVID-19 both domestically and abroad and better able to address changes in client demand.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Risk Factors section, such as those relating to our liquidity, and have other adverse effects on our operations that we are not currently able to predict. For example, we have, and may continue to delay or limit our internal strategies in the short- and medium-term by, for example, redirecting significant resources and management attention away from implementing our strategic priorities or executing opportunistic corporate development transactions. The extent, length and consequences of the pandemic on our business are uncertain and impossible to predict, but could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects and could cause significant volatility in the trading prices of our common stock.
If our solutions or third-party cloud providers experience data security breaches, and there is unauthorized access to our clients data, we may lose current or future clients, our reputation and business may be harmed, and we may be subject to a risk of loss or liability.
Our clients and potential clients in the professional and financial services industry typically maintain and have access to highly confidential information. If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to client data is otherwise obtained, our solutions may be perceived as not being secure; clients, especially those in the professional and financial services industry, may reduce the use of or stop using our solutions, and we may incur significant liabilities. Our solutions involve
27
the storage and transmission of data, in some cases to third-party cloud providers, which may include personal data, and security breaches, including at third-party cloud providers, could result in the loss of this information, which in turn could result in litigation, breach of contract claims, indemnity obligations, reputational damage and other liability for our company. Despite the measures that we have or may take, our infrastructure will be potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses or similar problems, and in the case of third-party cloud providers, may be outside of our control. If a person circumvents our security measures, that person could misappropriate proprietary information or disrupt or damage our operations. Security breaches that result in access to confidential information could damage our reputation and subject us to a risk of loss or liability. We may be required to make significant expenditures to protect against or remediate security breaches. Additionally, if we are unable to adequately address our clients concerns about security, we will have difficulty selling our solutions.
We rely on third-party technology and systems for a variety of services, including, without limitation, third-party cloud providers to host our websites and web-based services, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, content delivery to clients, back-office support and other functions, and our ability to control or prevent breaches of any of these systems may be beyond our control. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect client information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at a third-party vendor, such measures cannot provide absolute security. In addition, we may have to introduce such protective systems and processes to acquired companies, who may not correctly implement them at first or at all. Any or all of these issues could negatively impact our ability to attract new clients or to increase engagement by existing clients, could cause existing clients to elect not to renew their subscription arrangements or term licenses, or could subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other action or liability, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations. Our risks are likely to increase as we continue to expand our platform, grow our client base, and process, store, and transmit increasingly large amounts of proprietary and sensitive data.
Our business depends on clients renewing and expanding their subscriptions for our solutions. A decline in our client renewals and expansions could harm our future results of operations.
Our software solutions are provided on a subscription basis, with subscription terms varying from one to three years. Although most of our client subscriptions automatically renew at the end of their terms, our clients do have the opportunity to cancel their subscriptions prior to such renewals. Clients may elect not to renew their subscriptions on conclusion of the terms on relatively short notice. The loss of business from clients, including from cancellations, could seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Historical data with respect to rates of client renewals, upgrades and expansions of our solutions, may not accurately predict future trends in client renewals, upgrades and expansions of our solutions. Our clients renewal, upgrade and expansion rates may fluctuate or decline because of several factors, including their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our solutions and implementation services, the prices of our solutions, the prices of solutions and the quality of implementation services offered by our competitors or reductions in our clients spending levels due to the macroeconomic environment or other factors. If our clients do not renew their subscriptions for our solutions or renew on less favorable terms, or otherwise do not upgrade or expand their use of our solutions, our revenues may decline or grow more slowly than expected and our profitability will be harmed.
28
Because we recognize revenues from our SaaS solutions over the term of the agreements for our subscriptions, a significant downturn in our business may not be reflected immediately in our operating results, which increases the difficulty of evaluating our future financial performance.
We generally recognize revenues from our SaaS solutions ratably over the duration of the contract, which typically range from one to three years. As a result, a substantial majority of our quarterly revenues from our SaaS solutions are generated from contracts entered into during prior periods. Consequently, a decline in new contracts in any quarter may not affect our results of operations in that quarter, but could reduce our revenues from our SaaS solutions in future quarters. Additionally, the timing of renewals or non-renewals of a contract during any quarter may only affect our financial performance in future quarters. For example, the non-renewal of a contract late in a quarter will have minimal impact on revenues from our SaaS solutions for that quarter but will reduce such revenues in future quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant declines in sales of our solutions may not be reflected in our short-term results of operations, which would make these reported results less indicative of our future financial results. By contrast, a non-renewal occurring early in a quarter may have a significant negative impact on revenues from our SaaS solutions for that quarter and we may not be able to offset a decline in such revenues with revenues from new contracts entered into in the same quarter. In addition, we may be unable to adjust our costs in response to reduced revenues from our SaaS solutions. These factors may cause significant fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows, may make it challenging for an investor to predict our performance and may prevent us from meeting or exceeding the expectations of research analysts or investors, which in turn may cause our stock price to decline.
Our sales cycles are lengthy and variable, depend upon factors outside our control, and could cause us to expend significant time and resources prior to generating revenues.
The typical sales cycle for our solutions is lengthy and unpredictable and often requires pre-purchase evaluation by a significant number of employees in our clients organizations. Our sales efforts involve educating our clients about the use and benefits of our solutions, including the technical capabilities of our solutions and the potential cost savings achievable by organizations using our solutions. Potential clients typically undertake a rigorous pre-purchase decision-making and evaluation process, and sales to new clients involve extensive client due diligence and reference checks. We invest a substantial amount of time and resources on our sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will produce sales. Even if we succeed at completing a sale, we may be unable to predict the size of an initial subscription arrangement until very late in the sales cycle.
Furthermore, our sales cycles could be disrupted by factors outside of our control. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health measures undertaken to contain the spread and its impacts on our business. We have implemented formal restrictions on travel in accordance with recommendations by the U.S. federal government and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our clients, partners, and prospective clients are enacting their own preventative policies and travel restrictions and may be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Widespread restrictions on travel and in-person meetings could affect and interrupt sales activity. We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 may have going forward on our business, results of operations, or financial position. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business and IndustryPublic health outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics, including the global COVID-19 outbreak, could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
29
Our growth strategy is focused on continuing to develop our SaaS solutions, which may increase our costs. In addition, if we are unable to successfully grow our SaaS solutions business or navigate our growth strategy, our results of operations could be harmed.
To address demand trends in the professional and financial services industry, we have focused on and plan to continue focusing on the growth and expansion of our SaaS solutions business. This growth strategy has required and will continue to require a considerable investment of technical, financial and sales resources. We have no assurance that such investments will result in an increase in revenues or that we will be able to scale such investments efficiently, or at all, to meet client demand and expectations. Our focus on our SaaS solutions business may increase certain costs in any given period, such as data center costs, and may be difficult to predict over time. As a result, we may face risks associated with new and complex implementations, the cost of which may differ from original estimates. As our business practices in this area continue to develop and evolve over time, we may be required to revise the SaaS solutions we have developed, which may increase the costs and risks associated with these offerings. Whether our product development efforts or focus on SaaS solutions will prove successful and accomplish our business objectives is subject to numerous uncertainties and risks, including but not limited to, client demand, our ability to further develop and scale infrastructure, our ability to include functionality and usability in such offerings that address client requirements, tax and accounting implications and our costs.
If we are unable to develop, introduce and market new and enhanced versions of our solutions, we may be put at a competitive disadvantage and our operating results could be adversely affected.
Our ability to attract new clients and increase revenues from our existing clients depends, in part, on our continued ability to enhance the functionality of the existing solutions on the Intapp Platform by developing, introducing, and marketing new and enhanced versions of our solutions that address the evolving needs of our clients and changing industry standards. Because some of our solutions are complex and require rigorous testing, development cycles can be lengthy and can require months or even years of development, depending upon the solution and other factors. As we expand internationally, our products and services must be modified and adapted to comply with regulations and other requirements of the countries in which our clients do business.
Additionally, market conditions, including heightened pressure on clients from end-users relating to mobile computing devices and speed of delivery, may dictate that we change the technology platform underlying our existing solutions or that new solutions be developed on different technology platforms, potentially adding significant time and expense to our development cycles. The nature of these development cycles may cause us to experience delays between the time we incur expenses associated with research and development and the time we generate revenues, if any, from such expenses.
If we fail to develop new solutions or enhancements to our existing solutions, our business could be adversely affected, especially if our competitors are able to introduce solutions with enhanced functionality. It is critical to our success for us to anticipate changes in technology, industry standards, and client requirements and to successfully introduce new, enhanced, and competitive solutions to meet our clients and prospective clients needs on a timely basis. We have invested and intend to continue to make significant investments in research and development to meet these challenges. However, we may not recognize significant revenues from these investments
30
for several months or years, if at all. Our estimates of research and development expenses may be too low, revenues may not be sufficient to support the future product development that is required for us to remain competitive and development cycles may be longer than anticipated. Further, there is no assurance that research and development expenditures will lead to successful solutions or enhancements to our existing solutions, or that our clients will value or be willing to bear the cost of our new solutions. If we incur significant expenses developing solutions that are not competitive in technology and price or that fail to meet client demands, our market share will decline and our business and results of operations would be harmed.
If the market for SaaS solutions for professional and financial services develops slower than we expect or declines, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
While the market for SaaS solutions for the professional and financial services industry is growing, it is not as mature as the market for legacy on-premises applications. It is uncertain whether our SaaS solutions will achieve and sustain high levels of client demand and market acceptance, particularly in the professional and financial services industry. Many professional and financial services firms run their businesses using on-premises software applications, while others may have invested substantial resources to integrate a variety of point solutions into their organizations to address one or more specific business needs and, therefore, may be reluctant to switch to SaaS solutions. Our success substantially depends on the adoption of cloud computing and SaaS solutions in the professional and financial services industry, which may be affected by, among other things, the widespread acceptance of cloud computing and SaaS solutions in other industries and in general. Market acceptance of our SaaS solutions may be affected by a variety of factors, including but not limited to: price, security, reliability, performance, client preference, public concerns regarding privacy and the enactment of restrictive laws or regulations. It is difficult to predict client adoption rates and demand for our SaaS solutions, the future growth rate and size of the cloud computing market or the entry of other competitive applications. If we or other providers of cloud-based computing in general, and in the professional and financial services industry in particular, experience security incidents, loss of client data, disruptions in delivery, or other problems, the market for cloud computing applications as a whole, including our SaaS solutions, may be negatively affected. If cloud computing does not achieve widespread adoption or there is a reduction in demand for cloud computing caused by a lack of client acceptance, technological challenges, weakening economic conditions, security or privacy concerns, competing technologies and solutions, reductions in corporate spending or otherwise, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our estimates of certain operational metrics, as well as of total addressable market and market growth, are subject to inherent challenges in measurement.
We make certain estimates with regard to certain operational metrics, such as ARR, Cloud ARR, and number of clients, which we track using internal systems that are not independently verified by any third-party. While the metrics presented in this prospectus are based on what we believe to be reasonable assumptions and estimates, our internal systems have a number of limitations, and our methodologies for tracking these metrics may change over time.
Additionally, total addressable market and market growth estimates are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. Even if the markets in which we compete meet our size and growth estimates, our business could fail
31
to grow at similar rates. If investors do not perceive our estimates of total addressable market and market growth or our operational metrics to be accurate, or if we discover material inaccuracies with respect to these figures, our reputation may be significantly harmed, and our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
If we are unable to develop or sell our solutions into new markets or to further penetrate existing markets, our revenues will not grow as expected and our operating results could be adversely affected.
Our ability to increase revenues will depend, in large part, on our ability to further penetrate our existing markets and to attract new clients, as well as our ability to generate subscription renewals from existing clients and to increase sales from existing clients who do not utilize the full Intapp Platform. The success of any enhancement or new solution or service depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of enhanced or new solutions, adaptation to new industry standards that our solutions address and technological changes, the ability to maintain and to develop relationships with third parties and the ability to attract, retain and effectively train sales, services, support and marketing personnel. Any new solutions we develop or acquire may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner and may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenues. Any new industry standards or practices that emerge, or any introduction by competitors of new solutions embodying new services or technologies, may cause our solutions to become obsolete. Any new markets in which we attempt to sell our solutions, including new countries or regions, may not be receptive or sales cycles may be delayed due to COVID-19. Additionally, any expansion into new markets will require commensurate ongoing expansion of our monitoring of local laws and regulations, which increases our costs. Our ability to further penetrate our existing markets depends on the quality of our solutions and our ability to design our solutions to meet changing consumer demands and industry standards, as well as our ability to assure that our clients will be satisfied with our existing and new solutions. If we are unable to sell our solutions into new markets or to further penetrate existing markets, or to increase sales from existing clients by selling them additional software and services, our revenues will not grow as expected, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We compete in highly competitive markets, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be negatively impacted and cause our market share to decline.
The markets for our solutions and services are rapidly evolving and highly competitive. As these markets continue to mature and new technologies and competitors enter such markets, we expect competition to intensify. Our current competitors include large solution providers that focus on one or more point solutions, legacy systems, and manual processes developed by or for our clients, new or emerging entrants seeking to develop competing technologies and well-established horizontal solution providers that provide broad solutions across multiple verticals. Specifically, we compete from time to time with large software companies such as SAP, Salesforce, and Microsoft. The competitors we face in any sale may change depending on, among other things, the line of business, functional or regional group or department purchasing the solution, the solution being sold, the geography in which we are operating and the size of the client to which we are selling.
We compete based on various factors, including unique product features or functions, configurability, price and the time and cost required for software implementation. Outside of the
32
United States, we are more likely to compete against vendors that may further differentiate themselves based on local advantages in language or market knowledge. Some of our current and potential competitors may have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical, sales, marketing, and other resources than we do, as well as larger installed client bases. Our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships or engage in other strategic transactions among themselves or with third parties, including our clients, to further enhance their resources and offerings. As a result, such competitors may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their solutions than we can devote to ours, which could allow them to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in client needs, thus leading to their wider market acceptance. Existing relationships with our competitors may make those clients less willing to purchase our solutions. For instance, if a potential client uses one product from a competitor that powers a critical element of the clients day-to-day operations, they may be more likely to turn to such competitor in the future to the extent they require further product solutions, rather than purchasing one or more solutions from the Intapp Platform. If we are unable to compete effectively with these evolving competitors for market share, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
Our industry is evolving rapidly and we anticipate the market for solutions will become increasingly competitive as our current and potential clients move a greater proportion of their data and computational needs to the cloud or to future generation technologies. New competitors may emerge that offer services either comparable or better suited than ours to address the demand for such solutions, which could reduce demand for our offerings. Continuing intense competition could result in increased pricing pressure, increased sales and marketing expenses, increased expenses associated with personnel and third-party services and greater investments in research and development, each of which could negatively impact our profitability. In addition, the failure to increase, or the loss of, market share, would harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or future prospects.
We may continue to expand through acquisitions or partnerships with other companies, which may divert our managements attention and result in unexpected operating and technology integration difficulties, increased costs, and dilution to our stockholders.
We expect to continue to grow, in part, by making targeted acquisitions. Our business strategy includes the potential acquisition of shares or assets of, or alliances with companies with software, technologies or businesses complementary to ours, both domestically and globally. For example, in fiscal year 2019, we acquired DealCloud, the CRM provider for investment and private banking, gwabbit, a CRM provider with its focus on enterprise relationship management (ERM), relationship intelligence and data quality management (DQM) for implementation services firms, and OnePlace, a leading provider of cloud-based solutions for marketing and business development teams. Acquisitions and alliances may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may not result in the benefits anticipated by such corporate activity.
In particular, we may fail to assimilate or integrate the businesses, technologies, services, products, personnel or operations of the acquired companies, retain key personnel necessary to favorably execute the combined companies business plan, or retain existing clients or sell acquired products to new clients. Additionally, the assumptions we use to evaluate acquisition opportunities may not prove to be accurate, and intended benefits may not be realized. Our due diligence investigations may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other challenges
33
associated with an acquired business which could result in increased risk of unanticipated or unknown issues or liabilities, including with respect to environmental, competition and other regulatory matters, and our mitigation strategies for such risks that are identified may not be effective. As a result, we may not achieve some or any of the benefits, including anticipated synergies or accretion to earnings, that we expect to achieve in connection with our acquisitions, or we may not accurately anticipate the fixed and other costs associated with such acquisitions, or the business may not achieve the performance we anticipated, which may materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, as well as our stock price. Further, if we fail to achieve the expected synergies from our acquisitions and alliances, particularly if business performance declines or expected growth is not realized, we may experience impairment charges with respect to goodwill, intangible or other long-lived assets. Any future impairment of our goodwill or intangible or other long-lived assets could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Acquisitions and alliances may also disrupt our ongoing business, divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our current business. In addition, we may be required to make additional capital investments or undertake remediation efforts to ensure the success of our acquisitions, which may reduce the benefits of such acquisitions. We also may be required to use a substantial amount of our cash or issue debt or equity securities to complete an acquisition or realize the potential of an alliance, which could deplete our cash reserves and/or dilute our existing stockholders. In addition, our ability to maintain favorable pricing of new solutions may be challenging if we bundle such solutions with sales of existing solutions. Reduced pricing due to bundled sales may cause fluctuations in our quarterly financial results, may adversely affect our operating margins and may reduce the benefits of such acquisitions or alliances.
Additionally, competition within the software industry for acquisitions of businesses, technologies and assets has been, and is expected to continue to be, intense. As such, even if we are able to identify an acquisition that we would like to pursue, the target may be acquired by another strategic buyer or financial buyer such as a private equity firm, or we may otherwise not be able to complete the acquisition on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Moreover, in addition to our failure to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, including our revenues or return on investment assumptions, we may be exposed to unknown liabilities or impairment charges as a result of acquisitions we do complete.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, rapid growth, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. For example, our headcount has grown from 606 employees and contractors as of June 30, 2019 to 682 employees and contractors as of June 30, 2020. In addition, we operate globally, sell our services to more than 1,400 clients in more than 40 countries, and have employees and contractors in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. We plan to continue to expand our international presence in the future, which will place additional demands on our resources and operations. Additionally, we continue to increase the breadth and scope of our Intapp Platform and our operations and continue to develop our partner network. In order to successfully manage our future growth we will need to continue to add and retain qualified personnel across our operations, improve our IT and financial infrastructures, our operating and administrative systems, and our ability to manage headcount, capital, and internal processes in
34
an efficient manner and deepen our industry experience in key industry verticals. Our organizational structure is also becoming more complex as we grow our operational, financial, and management infrastructure and we must continue to improve our internal controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. We intend to continue to invest to expand our business, including investing in technology, sales and marketing operations, developing new solutions and features for our existing solutions, hiring additional personnel, and upgrading our infrastructure. These investments will require significant capital expenditures and may divert management and financial resources from other projects, such as the development of new solutions, and any investments we make will occur in advance of experiencing the benefits from such investments, making it difficult to determine in a timely manner if we are efficiently allocating our resources. We may also deem it advisable in the near-term or later to downsize certain of our offices in order to reduce costs, which may cause us to incur related charges. If we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the achievement of these benefits is delayed, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our solutions address functions within the heavily regulated professional and financial services industry, and our clients failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject us to litigation.
We sell our solutions to clients within the professional and financial services industry. Our clients use our solutions for business activities that are subject to a number of laws and regulations, including state and local legal, accounting, and other types of professional ethics rules. Any failure by our clients to comply with laws and regulations applicable to their businesses, and in particular to the functions for which our solutions are used, could result in fines, penalties or claims for substantial damages against our clients. To the extent our clients believe that such failures were caused by our solutions or our client service organization, our clients may make a claim for damages against us, regardless of whether we are responsible for the failure. We may be subject to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could divert our resources and our managements attention and adversely affect our business, and our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover such claims against us.
Our solutions or pricing models may not accurately reflect the optimal pricing necessary to attract new clients and retain existing clients as the market matures.
As the market for our solutions matures, or as competitors introduce new solutions that compete with ours, we may be unable to attract new clients at the same price or based on the same pricing models as we have used historically. We price our solutions based on an enterprise size basis with enterprise-wide access to our solutions or based on the number of individual users, and therefore, pricing decisions may also impact the mix of adoption among our subscription plans and negatively impact our overall revenues. Further, pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, losses, or the failure of our products to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In the future, we may be required to reduce our prices or develop new pricing models, which could adversely affect our revenues, gross margin, profitability, financial position, and cash flow.
Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and severely limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business.
We borrow money under a credit agreement with Golub Capital LLC (Golub), as agent for the lenders party thereto (the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility has a term ending on August 13,
35
2023. The current applicable interest rate for the Credit Facility is LIBOR rate plus 7.25% and will revert to a prime-based rate on the transition of LIBOR. Our debt outstanding under the Credit Facility could have adverse consequences for our business, including:
| We will be more vulnerable to adverse general economic conditions. |
| We will be required to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payment of interest and repayment of debt, limiting the availability of cash for other purposes. |
| We may have difficulty obtaining financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes. |
| We may have limited flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry. |
| We could be limited in our borrowing of additional funds and making strategic investments by restrictive covenants and the borrowing base formula in our credit arrangements. |
| We may fail to comply with covenants under the Credit Facility. |
The covenants require us to comply with various financial covenants, which include, among others, maintaining a specified level of revenue leverage ratio, minimum liquidity amount and total leverage ratio. We are in compliance with the financial covenants included in the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020. Market conditions have been difficult to predict and there is no assurance that we will continue to meet these covenants. A failure to comply with the covenants could result in an event of default. If an event of default occurs and is not cured or waived, it could result in all amounts outstanding, together with accrued interest, becoming accelerated upon demand unless we obtain a waiver from the lender. Our leverage and restrictions contained in the Credit Facility may materially adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities. In addition, our ability to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness and to satisfy our other obligations will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, certain of which are beyond our control. We face significant restrictions on our ability to operate under the terms of our Credit Facility. The terms of Credit Facility generally restrict, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, complete acquisitions, make certain investments, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, consummate certain asset sales, make capital expenditures, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, merge, consolidate or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of our assets (other than as permitted therein). The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. If we are not able to comply with these covenants and requirements, Golub has the right to demand accelerated payment and we would have to seek alternative sources of financing, which may not be available, or be available on acceptable terms. In addition, clients may lose confidence in us and reduce or eliminate their orders with us, which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including in part to repay certain amounts outstanding under our credit facility.
36
Failure of any of our established solutions to satisfy client demands or to maintain market acceptance would harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects.
We derive our revenues and cash flows from our established solutions on the Intapp Platform. We expect to continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenues from these sources. As such, continued market acceptance of these solutions is critical to our growth and success. Demand for our solutions is affected by a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the successful implementation of our solutions, the timing of development and release of new solutions by us and our competitors, technological advances which reduce the appeal of our solutions, changes in regulations that our clients must comply with in the jurisdictions in which they operate and the growth or contraction in the worldwide market for technological solutions for the professional and financial services industry. If we are unable to continue to meet client demands, to achieve and maintain a technological advantage over competitors, or to maintain market acceptance of our solutions, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects would be adversely affected.
Our ability to sell and renew our solutions is dependent in part on the quality of our implementation services and technical support services and the implementation services provided by our partners, and our failure to offer high-quality implementation services or technical support services or our partners failure to offering high-quality implementation services could damage our reputation and adversely affect our ability to sell our solutions to new clients and renew agreements with our existing clients.
Our solutions are complex and are used in a wide variety of environments. Our revenues and profitability depend in part on the reliability and performance of our implementation services, training services and technical support services, some of which are provided through partners that can provide services for our solutions to clients. If our implementation services are unavailable, or clients are dissatisfied with our or our partners performance, we could lose clients, our revenues and profitability would decrease and our business operations or financial position could be harmed. Additionally, if our solutions are not used correctly or as intended, inadequate performance may result. Because our clients rely on our solutions to manage a wide range of operations, our failure to properly train clients on how to efficiently and effectively use our solutions, may result in negative publicity or legal claims against us. As we grow internationally, we may face additional challenges and costs in delivering implementation services and training in languages other than English.
Unexpected delays and difficulties can occur as clients implement and test our solutions. Implementing our solutions typically involves integration with our clients and third-partys systems, as well as adding client and third-party data to our platform. This can be complex, time consuming, and expensive for our clients and can result in delays in the implementation of our solutions. We also provide our clients with upfront estimates regarding the duration, resources and costs associated with the implementation of our solutions. Failure to meet these upfront estimates and the expectations of our clients for the implementation of our solutions could result in a loss of clients and negative publicity about us and our solutions and implementation services. Such failure could result from deficiencies in our solution capabilities or inadequate professional service engagements performed by us, our partners or our clients employees, the latter two of which are beyond our direct control. Time-consuming implementations may also increase the amount of services personnel we must allocate to each client, thereby increasing our costs and consequently the cost to our clients and adversely affecting our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
37
Once our solutions are implemented and integrated with our clients existing IT investments and data, our clients may depend on our technical support services to resolve any issues relating to our solutions. High-quality support is critical for the continued successful marketing and sale of our solutions and renewal of contracts. In addition, as we continue to expand our operations internationally, our support organization will face additional challenges, including those associated with delivering support in languages other than English. Many enterprise clients require higher levels of support than smaller clients. If we fail to meet the requirements of our larger clients, it may be more difficult to sell additional solutions and implementation services to these clients, a key group for the growth of our revenues and profitability. The implementation, provision and support of our solutions also creates the risk of significant liability claims against us. Our subscription arrangements with our clients contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential liability claims. It is possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in such agreements may not be enforced as a result of international, federal, state and local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. Breach of warranty or damage liability, or injunctive relief resulting from such claims, could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, as we further expand our solutions, our implementation services and support organization will face new challenges, including hiring, training and integrating a large number of new implementation services personnel with experience in delivering high-quality support for our solutions. Alleviating any of these problems could require significant expenditures which could adversely affect our results of operations and growth prospects. Further, as we continue to rely on our partners to provide implementation and on-going services, our ability to ensure a high level of quality in addressing client issues will be diminished. If our partners fail to meet such commitments or do not commit sufficient or qualified resources to these activities, our clients will be less satisfied, be less supportive with references, or may require the investment of our resources at discounted rates.
Our sales are dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing clients. Accordingly, if we or our partners do not effectively assist our clients in implementing our solutions, train our clients in the use of our solutions, succeed in helping our clients quickly resolve post-implementation issues, our ability to sell additional solutions and implementation services to existing clients would be adversely affected and our reputation with potential clients could be damaged, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects.
Real or perceived errors or failures in our solutions may affect our reputation, cause us to lose clients and reduce sales which may harm our business and results of operations.
As with all software solutions, undetected errors or failures may exist or occur, especially when solutions are first introduced or when new versions are released, implemented or integrated into other systems. Our software solutions are often installed and used in large-scale computing environments with different third party applications operating systems, system management software and equipment and networking configurations, which may cause errors or failures in our solutions or may expose undetected errors, failures, or bugs in our solutions. Despite testing by us, we may not identify all errors, failures, or bugs in new solutions or releases until after commencement of commercial sales or installation. In the past, we have discovered errors, failures, and bugs in some of our solutions after their introduction. We may not be able to fix errors, failures, and bugs without incurring significant costs or an adverse impact to our business. We believe that our reputation and name recognition are critical factors in our ability to compete and generate additional sales.
38
Promotion and enhancement of our name will depend largely on our success in continuing to provide effective solutions and services. The occurrence of errors in our solutions or the detection of bugs by our clients may damage our reputation in the market and our relationships with our existing clients, and as a result, we may be unable to attract or retain clients. Any of these events may result in the loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of our solutions, which could seriously harm our sales, results of operations, and financial condition.
Assertions against us, by third parties alleging infringement or other violation of their intellectual property rights, could result in significant costs and substantially harm our business and results of operations.
The software industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and related litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. In particular, leading companies in the software industry own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, which they may use to assert claims against us. From time to time, third parties holding such intellectual property rights, including leading companies, competitors, patent holding companies, and/or non-practicing entities, may assert patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property claims against us, our clients, and partners, and those from whom we license technology and intellectual property.
Although we believe that our solutions do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, we cannot assure that third parties will not assert infringement or misappropriation claims against us with respect to current or future solutions, or that any such assertions will not require us to enter into royalty arrangements or result in costly litigation, or result in us being unable to use certain intellectual property. Infringement assertions from third parties may involve patent holding companies or other patent owners who have no relevant product revenues, and therefore our own issued and pending patents may provide little or no deterrence to these patent owners in bringing intellectual property rights claims against us.
If we are forced to defend against any infringement or misappropriation claims, whether they are with or without merit, are settled out of court, or are determined in our favor, we may be required to expend significant time and financial resources on the defense of such claims. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, such a claim could harm our brand and business. Furthermore, an adverse outcome of a dispute may require us to pay damages, potentially including treble damages and attorneys fees, if we are found to have willfully infringed a partys intellectual property; cease making, licensing or using our solutions that are alleged to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property of others; expend additional development resources to redesign our solutions; enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies or works; and indemnify our partners, clients and other third parties. Any of these events could seriously harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Failure to protect our intellectual property could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
Our success depends in part on our ability to enforce and defend our intellectual property rights. We rely upon a combination of trademark, trade secret, copyright, patent, and unfair competition laws, as well as license agreements and other contractual provisions, to do so.
In the future we may file patent applications related to certain of our innovations. We do not know whether those patent applications will result in the issuance of a patent or whether the
39
examination process will require us to narrow our claims. In addition, we may not receive competitive advantages from the rights granted under our patents and other intellectual property. Our existing patents and any patents granted to us or that we otherwise acquire in the future, may be contested, circumvented or invalidated, and we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing these patents. Therefore, the extent of the protection afforded by these patents cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, given the costs, effort, risks, and downside of obtaining patent protection, including the requirement to ultimately disclose the invention to the public, we may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations; however, such patent protection could later prove to be important to our business.
We also rely on several registered and unregistered trademarks to protect our brand. Nevertheless, competitors may adopt service names similar to ours, or purchase our trademarks and confusingly similar terms as keywords in Internet search engine advertising programs, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to confusion in the marketplace. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks that incorporate variations of our trademarks. Any claims or client confusion related to our trademarks could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations.
We attempt to protect our intellectual property, technology and confidential information by generally requiring our employees and consultants to enter into confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreements and third parties to enter into nondisclosure agreements, all of which offer only limited protection. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information, intellectual property, or technology and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information, intellectual property or technology. Despite our efforts to protect our confidential information, intellectual property, and technology, unauthorized third parties may gain access to our confidential proprietary information, develop and market solutions similar to ours, or use trademarks similar to ours, any of which could materially harm our business and results of operations. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and confidential information, and in such cases, we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. Existing United States federal, state and international intellectual property laws offer only limited protection. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect our intellectual property rights to as great an extent as the laws of the United States, and many foreign countries do not enforce these laws as diligently as governmental agencies and private parties in the United States. Moreover, policing our intellectual property rights is difficult, costly and may not always be effective.
From time to time, legal action by us may be necessary to enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the intellectual property rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Even if we are successful in defending our claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition. To the extent that we seek to enforce our rights, we could be subject to claims that an intellectual property right is invalid, otherwise not enforceable, or is licensed to the party against whom we are pursuing a claim. In addition, our assertion of intellectual property rights may result in the other party seeking to assert alleged intellectual property rights or assert other claims against us, which could harm our business. If we are not successful in defending such claims in litigation, we may not be able to sell or license a particular
40
solution due to an injunction, or we may have to pay damages that could, in turn, harm our results of operations. In addition, governments may adopt regulations, or courts may render decisions, requiring compulsory licensing of intellectual property to others, or governments may require that products meet specified standards that serve to favor local companies. Our inability to enforce our intellectual property rights under these circumstances may harm our competitive position and our business. If we are unable to protect our technology and to adequately maintain and protect our intellectual property rights, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the additional expense, time and effort required to create the innovative solutions that have enabled us to be successful to date.
We and our clients rely on technology and intellectual property of third parties, and any errors or defects in, or any unavailability of, such technology and intellectual property could limit the functionality of our solutions and disrupt our business.
We use technology and intellectual property licensed from unaffiliated third parties in certain of our solutions, and we may license additional third-party technology and intellectual property in the future. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, errors or defects in this third-party technology and intellectual property that result in errors that could harm our brand and business. In addition, licensed technology and intellectual property may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The loss of the right to license and distribute this third-party technology could limit the functionality of our solutions and might require us to redesign our solutions. In some cases, we receive subscription fees from the provision of such third-party technology to our clients, and the loss of the right to distribute such technology could negatively impact revenues.
We agree to indemnify clients and other third parties, which exposes us to substantial potential liability.
Our agreements with clients, suppliers, partners and other third parties may include indemnification or other provisions under which we agree to indemnify or otherwise be liable to them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of claims of intellectual property infringement, damages caused by us to property or persons, data, and security breaches, and other liabilities relating to or arising from our software, services, acts or omissions. The term of these contractual provisions often survives termination or expiration of the applicable agreement. Large indemnity payments or damage claims from contractual breach could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Although in some cases we contractually limit our liability with respect to such obligations, we do not always do so, and in the future we may still incur substantial liability related to them. Any dispute with a client with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on our relationship with that client and other current and prospective clients, reduce demand for our solutions, and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our U.S. NOL carryforwards may expire or could be substantially limited if we experience an ownership change as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC) or if changes are made to the IRC.
We have significant U.S. federal and state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. Under U.S. federal tax laws, we can carry forward and use our pre-2018 NOLs to reduce our future U.S. taxable income and tax liabilities until such NOL carryforwards expire in accordance with the IRC. Under changes made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), as modified by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
41
and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), NOL carryforwards generated on or after January 1, 2018 may be carried forward indefinitely, but their utilization is limited to 80% of annual taxable income for tax years beginning after December 31, 2020. Our NOL carryforwards provide a benefit to us, if fully utilized, of significant future tax savings. However, our ability to use these tax benefits in future years will depend upon the amount of our federal and state taxable income. If we do not have sufficient federal and state income in future years to use the benefits before they expire, we will permanently lose the benefit of the pre-2018 NOL carryforwards. Additionally, Section 382 and Section 383 of the IRC provide an annual limitation on our ability to utilize our NOL carryforwards, as well as certain built-in losses, against the future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change in ownership, as defined under the IRC. Any further changes made to the IRC or to the regulations promulgated thereunder could impact our ability to utilize our NOLs. Accordingly, any such occurrences could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We sell our solutions to clients located outside the United States, and we are continuing to expand our international operations as part of our growth strategy. In each of fiscal years 2019 and 2020, 28% of our revenues were derived from outside of the United States. Revenues by geography is determined based on the country in which a client contract is invoiced. Some of our contracts allow for usage of our solutions in multiple countries. Our current international operations and our plans to expand our international operations subject us to a variety of risks, including:
| increased management, travel, infrastructure, and legal compliance costs associated with having multiple international operations; |
| unique terms and conditions in contract negotiations imposed by clients in foreign countries; |
| longer payment cycles and difficulties in enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable; |
| the need to localize our solutions for international clients; |
| lack of familiarity with and unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements; |
| increased exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
| highly inflationary international economies; |
| the burdens and costs of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and legal standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union; |
| compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, the U.K. Bribery Act and other anti-corruption regulations, particularly in emerging market countries; |
| compliance by international staff with accounting practices generally accepted in the United States, including adherence to our accounting policies and internal controls; |
| import and export license requirements, tariffs, trade agreements, taxes, and other trade barriers; |
| increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities; |
| weaker protection of intellectual property rights in some countries; |
42
| multiple and possibly overlapping tax regimes; |
| the application of the respective local laws and regulations to our business in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate; |
| government sanctions that may interfere with our ability to sell into particular countries; |
| disruption to our operations caused by epidemics or pandemics, such as COVID-19; and |
| political, social and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks and security concerns in general. |
As we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. Any of these risks could harm our international operations and reduce our international sales, adversely affecting our business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects.
Some of the Companys development resources are subject to additional risks inherent in foreign operations, which could lead to interruptions in the Companys development efforts or hamper the Companys ability to maintain its solutions.
A majority of our research and development is conducted through our facilities based in Ukraine and our suppliers facilities located in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. In addition to product development, these resources are also key to maintaining our solutions. Any escalation of political tensions or economic instability in these regions could disrupt or delay our research and development operations in these regions, or adversely affect the timeliness of new product delivery or maintenance and upgrades to existing products and solutions, which could harm our operations, financial conditions, sales and growth prospects. Disruptions in communications with these resources could also lead to periods of unavailability of our SaaS solutions, which could require the Company to provide credits or refunds to clients or lead to client cancellations.
Additionally, we engage through third parties a significant number of independent contractors in our research and development efforts. Changes to foreign laws governing the definition or classification of such independent contractors, or judicial decisions regarding independent contractor classification could result in re-classification of such contractors as employees. Such reclassification could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, could require us to pay significant retroactive wages, taxes and penalties, and could force us to change our contractor business model in the foreign jurisdictions affected.
Failure to comply with the GDPR or other data privacy regimes could subject us to liability, fines and reputational harm.
Data protection and privacy legislation, enforcement and policy activity are rapidly expanding and creating a complex compliance environment and the potential for high profile negative publicity in the event of any noncompliance or data breach. We are subject to many privacy and data protection laws and regulations in the United States and around the world, some of which place restrictions on our ability to process personal data across our business. For example, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR) is a comprehensive update to the data protection regime in the European Economic Area that became effective on May 25, 2018. The GDPR imposes requirements relating to, among
43
other things, consent to process personal data of individuals, the information provided to individuals regarding the processing of their personal data, rights which may be exercised by individuals, the security and confidentiality of personal data, and notifications in the event of data breaches and use of third-party processors. The GDPR imposes substantial fines for breaches of data protection requirements, which can be up to four percent of the worldwide revenues or 20 million Euros, whichever is greater. While we continue to undertake efforts to conform to current regulatory obligations and evolving best practices, we may be unsuccessful in conforming to permitted means of transferring personal data from the European Economic Area. We may also experience hesitancy, reluctance, or refusal by European or multi-national clients to continue to use some of our services due to the potential risk exposure of personal data transfers and the current data protection obligations imposed on them by certain data protection authorities. Such clients may also view any alternative approaches to the transfer of any personal data as being too costly, too burdensome, or otherwise objectionable, and therefore may decide not to do business with us if the transfer of personal data is a necessary requirement. Uncertainty about compliance with the GDPR and EU data protection laws remains, with the possibilities that data protection authorities located in different EU Member States may interpret GDPR differently, or requirements of national laws may vary between the EU Member States, or guidance on GDPR and compliance practices may be often updated or otherwise revised. Any of these events will increase the complexity and costs of processing personal data in the European Economic Area or concerning individuals located in the European Economic Area.
GDPR and other EU laws and regulations relating to the collection, use and processing of personal data relating to individuals in the EU, are often more restrictive than those in the United States or other countries. In addition, under GDPR, transfers of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area are prohibited to countries that have not been determined by the European Commission to provide adequate protections for personal data, including the United States. Switzerland has similar restrictions. There are mechanisms to permit the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area and Switzerland to the United States, but there is also uncertainty as to the future of such mechanisms, which have been under consistent scrutiny and challenge. For example, a decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in July 2020 invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, a means that previously permitted transfers of personal data from the EEA to companies in the United States that certified adherence to the Privacy Shield Framework. It is currently unclear what, if any, arrangement may replace the Privacy Shield Framework. Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to permit transfers from the EU to third countries currently remain as a basis on which to transfer personal data from the EEA to the United States. However, the standard contractual clauses are also subject to legal challenge, and in November 2020, the European Commission published a draft of updated standard contractual clauses. We presently rely on a mixture of mechanisms to transfer personal data from our EU business to the U.S., and we may be impacted by changes in law as a result of future review or invalidation of, or changes to, these transfer mechanisms by European courts or regulators. Brexit has created uncertainty regarding the regulation of data protection in the United Kingdom. Although the United Kingdom enacted a Data Protection Act in May 2018 that is consistent with the GDPR, uncertainty remains regarding how data transfers to and from the United Kingdom will be regulated. As many of our employees providing services to European Union clients are located in the United Kingdom, changes to how data transfers to and from the United Kingdom are regulated could impact how we provide services to our clients in the European Union. European Union clients may require that our employees who are providing services to them
44
be based in the European Union due to data transfer restrictions, which could increase our costs in providing such services.
In addition, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) which went into effect on January 1, 2020, and imposes requirements relating to how companies may collect, use and process personal information relating to California residents. The CCPA establishes a privacy framework for covered businesses such as ours by, among other things, creating an expanded definition of personal information, establishing new data privacy rights for California residents and creating a new and potentially severe statutory damages framework for violations of the CCPA, as well as potentially severe statutory damages and private a right of action against businesses that suffer a data security breach due to their violation of a duty to implement reasonable security procedures and practices. This private right of action may increase the likelihood of, and risks associated with, data breach litigation. In addition, in November 2020, California voters adopted the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which goes into effect January 1, 2023, and enhances and strengthens regulatory requirements and individual protections that currently exist under the CCPA. The uncertainty and changes in the requirements of California and other jurisdictions may increase the cost of compliance, restrict our ability to offer services in certain locations or subject us to sanctions by national, regional, state, local and international data protection regulators, all of which could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Although we take reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable laws and regulations and have invested and continue to invest human and technology resources into data privacy compliance efforts, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to regulatory action, including fines, in the event of an incident or other claim. Data protection laws and requirements may also be enacted, interpreted or applied in a manner that creates inconsistent or contradictory requirements on companies that operate across jurisdictions. We or our third-party service providers could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are expanded to require changes in our or our third-party service providers business practices or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or regulations in ways that negatively affect our or our third-party service providers business, results of operations or financial condition. For example, we may find it necessary to establish alternative systems to maintain personal data originating from the European Union in the European Economic Area, which may involve substantial expense and may cause us to divert resources from other aspects of our business, all of which may adversely affect our results from operations. Further, any inability to adequately address privacy concerns in connection with our solutions, or comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, and adversely affect our ability to offer our solutions.
Anticipated further evolution of regulations on this topic may substantially increase the penalties to which we could be subject in the event of any non-compliance. Compliance with these laws is challenging, constantly evolving, and time consuming and federal regulators, state attorneys general and plaintiffs attorneys have been and will likely continue to be active in this space. We may incur substantial expense in complying with legal obligations to be imposed by new regulations and we may be required to make significant changes to our solutions and expanding business operations, all of which may adversely affect our results of operations.
45
We face risks arising from the results of the public referendum held in the United Kingdom and its membership in the European Union.
The ongoing developments regarding Brexit could cause disruptions to and create uncertainty surrounding our business including affecting our relationships with existing and potential clients, partners and other third parties. The United Kingdom formally left the European Union on January 31, 2020. Negotiations are ongoing to determine some terms of the United Kingdoms future relationship with the European Union, and the full effect of Brexit is uncertain and depends on any agreements the United Kingdom may make with the European Union and others, in particular any agreements the United Kingdom makes to retain access to European Union markets either during the transitional period or more permanently. The measures could potentially have corporate structural consequences, adversely change tax benefits or liabilities in these or other jurisdictions and could disrupt some of the markets and jurisdictions in which we operate. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate. How personal data transfers may be conducted between the United Kingdom and the European Union remains unclear. Should new or additional restrictions or limitations on personal data flows between the United Kingdom and European Union be imposed it could cause the Company to incur significant costs to create and maintain new or additional data centers. In addition, the announcement of Brexit has caused significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations, including the strengthening of the USD against some foreign currencies, and the Brexit negotiations may continue to cause significant volatility. The progress and outcomes of Brexit negotiations also may create global economic uncertainty. Any of these effects of Brexit, among others, could materially adversely affect our business, business opportunities, and financial condition. Brexit could weaken market demand for our products in the U.K. if our clients or prospective clients elect to relocate to the European Union due to Brexit.
If we are unable to retain key members of our management team or attract, integrate and retain additional executives and other skilled personnel we need to support our operations and growth, we may be unable to achieve our goals and our business will suffer.
Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to attract, train, integrate and retain highly skilled employees, particularly those on our management team, including John Hall, our Chief Executive Officer and Stephen Robertson, our Chief Financial Officer, whose services are essential to the execution of our corporate strategy and ensuring the continued operations and integrity of financial reporting within our company. Our executive officers and other key employees are generally employed on an at-will basis, which means that these personnel could terminate their relationship with us at any time. The loss of any member of our senior management team could significantly delay or prevent us from achieving our business and/or development objectives, and could materially harm our business.
We compete with a number of software and other technology companies to attract and retain software developers with specialized experience in designing, developing, and managing our solutions, including our cloud-based software, as well as for skilled developers, engineers and information technology and operations professionals who can successfully implement and deliver our solutions. Additionally, we believe that our future growth will depend on the development of our go-to-market strategy and the continued recruiting, retention, and training of our sales teams, including their ability to obtain new clients and to manage our existing client base. Our
46
ability to expand geographically depends, in large part, on our ability to attract, retain and integrate managers to lead the local business and employees with the appropriate skills. Similarly, our profitability depends on our ability to effectively utilize personnel with the right mix of skills and experience to perform services for our clients, including our ability to transition employees to new assignments on a timely basis. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. We may incur significant costs to attract, train and retain such personnel, and we may lose new employees to our competitors or other technology companies before we realize the benefit of our investment after recruiting and training them. Also, to the extent that we hire personnel from competitors, we may be subject to allegations that such personnel have been improperly solicited or have divulged proprietary or other confidential information. If we are unable to attract, integrate and retain qualified personnel, or if there are delays in hiring required personnel, including delays due to COVID-19 or adjustments to U.S. immigration policy related to skilled foreign workers, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
Any disruption of our Internet connections, including to any third-party cloud providers that host any of our websites or web-based services, could affect the success of our SaaS solutions.
Any system failure, including network, software or hardware failure, that causes an interruption in our network or a decrease in the responsiveness of our website and our SaaS solutions could result in reduced user traffic, reduced revenues and potential breaches of our subscription arrangements. Continued growth in Internet usage, as well as outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our solutions could cause a decrease in the quality of Internet connection service. Websites have experienced service interruptions as a result of outages and other delays occurring throughout the worldwide Internet network infrastructure. If these outages, delays or service disruptions frequently occur in the future, usage of our web-based services could grow more slowly than anticipated or decline and we may lose revenues and clients.
If the third-party cloud providers that host any of our websites or web-based services were to experience a system failure, the performance of our websites and web-based services, including our SaaS solutions, would be harmed and our ability to deliver our solutions to our clients could be impaired, resulting in client dissatisfaction, damage to our reputation, loss of clients, and harm to our operations and our business. In general, third-party cloud providers are vulnerable to damage from fire, floods, earthquakes, acts of terrorism, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, and similar events. The controls implemented by our current or future third-party cloud providers may not prevent or timely detect such system failures and we do not control the operation of third-party cloud providers that we use. Our current or future third-party cloud providers could decide to close their facilities without adequate notice. In addition, any financial difficulties, such as bankruptcy, faced by our current or future third-party cloud providers, or any of the service providers with whom we or they contract, may have negative effects on our business. If our current or future third-party cloud providers are unable to keep up with our growing needs for capacity or any spikes in client demand, it could have an adverse effect on our business. Any changes in service levels by our current or future third-party cloud providers could result in loss or damage to our clients-stored information and any service interruptions at these third-party cloud providers could hurt our reputation, cause us to lose clients, harm our ability to attract new clients or subject us to potential liability. In the event of any damage or interruption, our property and business interruption insurance coverage may not be adequate to fully compensate us for losses that may occur. Additionally, our systems are not
47
fully redundant, and we have not yet implemented a complete disaster recovery plan or business continuity plan. Although the redundancies we do have in place will permit us to respond, at least to some degree, to service outages, our current or future third-party cloud providers that host our SaaS solutions are vulnerable in the event of failure. We do not yet have adequate structure or systems in place to recover from a third-party cloud providers severe impairment or total destruction, and recovery from the total destruction or severe impairment of any of our third-party cloud providers could be difficult and may not be possible at all. Any of these events could seriously harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Some of our services and technologies may use open source software, which may restrict how we use or distribute our services or require that we release the source code of certain solutions subject to those licenses.
Some of our services and technologies may incorporate software licensed under so-called open source licenses. In addition to risks related to license requirements, usage of open source software can lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on origin of the software. Additionally, some open source licenses require that source code subject to the license be made available to the public and that any modifications to or derivative works of open source software continue to be licensed under open source licenses. These open source licenses typically mandate that proprietary software, when combined in specific ways with open source software, become subject to the open source license. If we combine our proprietary solutions in such ways with certain open source software, we could be required to release the source code of our proprietary solutions.
We take steps to ensure that our proprietary solutions are not combined with, and do not incorporate, open source software in ways that would require our proprietary solutions to be subject to many of the restrictions in an open source license. However, few courts have interpreted open source licenses, and the manner in which these licenses may be interpreted and enforced is therefore subject to some uncertainty. Additionally, we rely on software programmers to design our proprietary technologies, and although we take steps to prevent our programmers from including objectionable open source software in the technologies and software code that they design, write and modify, we do not exercise complete control over the development efforts of our programmers and we cannot be certain that our programmers have not incorporated such open source software into our proprietary solutions and technologies or that they will not do so in the future. In the event that portions of our proprietary technology are determined to be subject to an open source license, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code, re-engineer all or a portion of our technologies, or otherwise be limited in the licensing of our technologies, each of which could reduce or eliminate the value of our services and technologies and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
We may experience fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely impact our results of operations.
Our international sales are generally denominated in foreign currencies, and these revenues could be materially affected by currency fluctuations. The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. Although we believe our operating activities act as a natural hedge for a substantial portion of our foreign currency exposure at the cash flow or operating income level because we typically collect revenues and incur costs in the
48
currency of the location in which we provide our solutions, it is difficult to predict if our operating activities will provide a natural hedge in the future. Our results of operations may also be impacted by transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain monetary asset and liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded. Moreover, significant and unforeseen changes in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to fail to achieve our stated projections for revenues and operating income, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price. We will continue to experience fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which, if material, may harm our revenues or results of operations.
Our results of operations may be harmed if we are required to collect sales or other related taxes for our subscription solutions in jurisdictions where we have not historically done so.
We collect sales and similar value-added taxes as part of our client agreements in a number of jurisdictions. Sales and use, value-added, and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. One or more states or countries may seek to impose additional sales, use, or other tax collection obligations on us, including for past sales by us. A successful assertion by a state, country, or other jurisdiction that we should have been or should be collecting additional sales, use, or other taxes on our solutions provided through the Intapp Platform could, among other things, result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, create significant administrative burdens for us, discourage clients from purchasing our Intapp Platform, or otherwise harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Risks related to our organizational structure
If the ownership of our common stock continues to be highly concentrated, it may prevent you and other minority stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest.
Immediately following the completion of this offering, Temasek will own approximately % of our common stock (or approximately % if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full) and Great Hill will own approximately % of our common stock (or approximately % if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full). As a result, Temasek and Great Hill will exercise significant influence over all matters requiring a stockholder vote, including: the election of directors; mergers, and acquisitions; the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and other decisions affecting our capital structure; the amendment of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws; and our winding up and dissolution. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent acts that would be favored by our other stockholders. The interests of Temasek and Great Hill may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of us. Also, Temasek and Great Hill may each seek to cause us to take courses of action that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment in us, but which might involve risks to our other stockholders or adversely affect us or our other stockholders, including investors in this offering. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline or stockholders might not receive a premium over the then-current market price of our common stock upon a change in control. In addition, this concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning shares in a company with significant stockholders. See
49
Principal Stockholders and Description of Capital StockAnti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Organizational Documents.
Certain provisions of Delaware law, the Stockholders Agreement, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws could hinder, delay or prevent a change in control of us, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock.
Certain provisions of Delaware law, the Stockholders Agreement, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws will contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors or certain Existing Holders.
As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the DGCL), which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.
Furthermore, immediately following this offering, Temasek and Great Hill will control a significant portion of the voting power of the shares of our common stock eligible to vote in the election of our directors and on other matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, and Temasek and Great Hill will be able to influence outcome of matters submitted to a stockholder vote. For so long as Temasek and Great Hill continue to own a significant percentage of our common stock, Temasek and Great Hill, through their collective voting power, will still be able to significantly influence the composition of our board of directors and the approval of actions requiring stockholder approval.
These provisions may make it difficult and expensive for a third-party to pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by Temasek, Great Hill, our management or our board of directors. Public stockholders who might desire to participate in these types of transactions may not have an opportunity to do so, even if the transaction is favorable to stockholders. These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to benefit from a change in control or change our management and board of directors and, as a result, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and your ability to realize any potential change of control premium. See Description of Capital StockAnti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Organizational Documents and Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.
Risks related to this offering and our common stock
An active trading market for our common stock may never develop or be sustained.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Although we have applied to have our common stock approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, an active trading market for our common stock may not develop on that exchange or elsewhere or, if developed, that market may not be sustained. Accordingly, if an active trading market for our common stock does not develop or is not maintained, the liquidity of our common stock, your ability to sell your shares of common stock when desired and the prices that you may obtain for your shares of common stock will be adversely affected. An inactive trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration.
50
The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile, which could result in rapid and substantial losses for our stockholders.
Even if an active trading market develops, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. The initial public offering price of our common stock will be determined by negotiation between us and the representatives of the underwriters based on a number of factors and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following the completion of this offering. If the market price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above your purchase price, if at all. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate or decline significantly in the future. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include:
| variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; |
| our ability to attract new clients in both domestic and international markets, and our ability expand the solutions provided to existing clients; |
| the timing of our clients buying decisions and reductions in our clients budgets for IT purchases and delays in their purchasing cycles, particularly in light of recent adverse global economic conditions; |
| changes in our earnings estimates (if provided) or differences between our actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts; |
| the contents of published research reports about us or our industry or the failure of securities analysts to cover our common stock after this offering; |
| additions to, or departures of, key management personnel; |
| any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future; |
| announcements and public filings by us or others and developments affecting us; |
| actions by institutional stockholders; |
| litigation and governmental investigations; |
| operating and stock performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us (and changes in their market valuations) and overall performance of the equity markets; |
| speculation or reports by the press or investment community with respect to us or our industry in general; |
| increases in market interest rates that may lead purchasers of our shares to demand a higher yield; |
| announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, dispositions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| announcements or actions taken by Temasek or Great Hill as our principal stockholders; |
| sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by Temasek, Great Hill or other significant stockholders or our insiders, or the expectation that such sales might occur; |
51
| volatility or economic downturns in the markets in which we, our clients and our partners are located caused by pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and related policies and restrictions undertaken to contain the spread of such pandemics or potential pandemics; and |
| general market, political and economic conditions, in the professional and financial services industry in particular, including any such conditions and local conditions in the markets in which any of our clients are located. |
These broad market and industry factors may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The stock market in general has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, including in recent months. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a companys securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our managements attention and resources.
Future offerings of debt or equity securities by us may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In the future, we may attempt to obtain financing or to further increase our capital resources by issuing additional shares of our common stock or offering debt or other equity securities, including senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity or shares of preferred stock. In addition, we may seek to expand operations in the future to other markets which we would expect to finance through a combination of additional issuances of equity, corporate indebtedness and/or cash from operations.
Issuing additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities or securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock or both. Upon liquidation, holders of such debt securities and convertible preferred shares, if issued, and lenders with respect to other borrowings would receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred shares, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, holders of our common stock bear the risk that our future offerings may reduce the market price of our common stock and dilute their stockholdings in us. See Description of Capital Stock.
The market price of our common stock could be negatively affected by sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets.
After this offering, there will be shares of common stock outstanding (or shares outstanding if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full). Of our issued and outstanding shares, only the shares of common stock sold in this offering (or shares if the underwriters exercise the option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full) will be freely transferable, except for any shares held by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (Rule 144). Following completion of
52
the offering, approximately % of our outstanding common stock (or % if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full) will be held by Temasek and approximately % of our outstanding common stock (or % if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full) will be held by Great Hill and can be resold into the public markets in the future in accordance with the requirements of Rule 144. The sale by Temasek or Great Hill of a substantial number of shares after this offering, or a perception that such sales could occur, could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock. See Shares Eligible For Future Sale.
We and our executive officers, directors, and substantially all of our Existing Holders have agreed with the underwriters that, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, we and they will not directly or indirectly offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase or otherwise dispose of any common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, or in any manner transfer all or a portion of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of common stock, or cause a registration statement covering any common stock to be filed, without the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters. Any shares acquired by Existing Holders (other than officers, directors, Temasek and Great Hill) in this offering of our shares of common stock will not be subject to these transfer restrictions. See Underwriting.
In addition, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), certain of our Existing Holders and their respective affiliates and permitted third-party transferees have the right, in certain circumstances, to require us to register their shares of our common stock under the Securities Act for sale into the public markets. Upon the effectiveness of such a registration statement, all shares covered by the registration statement will be freely transferable. See Certain Relationships and Related Party TransactionsRegistration Rights Agreement.
The market price of our common stock may decline significantly when the restrictions on resale by our existing stockholders lapse. A decline in the price of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional common stock or other equity securities.
The future issuance of additional common stock in connection with our incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholdings.
After this offering, assuming the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full, we will have an aggregate of shares of common stock authorized but unissued and not reserved for issuance under our incentive plans. We may issue all of these shares of common stock without any action or approval by our stockholders, subject to certain exceptions. Any common stock issued in connection with our incentive plans, the exercise of outstanding stock options or otherwise would dilute the percentage ownership held by the investors who purchase common stock in this offering.
Investors in this offering will suffer immediate and substantial dilution.
The initial public offering price of our common stock will be substantially higher than the as adjusted net tangible book value per share issued and outstanding immediately after this offering. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $ in the net tangible book value per share,
53
based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus).
We are an emerging growth company, and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act and may remain an emerging growth company for up to five years. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and plan to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, the information we provide stockholders will be different than the information that is available with respect to other public companies. In this prospectus, we have not included all of the executive compensation related information that would be required if we were not an emerging growth company. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and have no plans to pay regular dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend on many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory, and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that our board of directors deems relevant. Because we are a holding company and have no direct operations, we will only be able to pay dividends from our available cash on hand and any funds we receive from our subsidiaries. Certain of our debt agreements limit the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to pay dividends. In addition, Delaware law may impose requirements that may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Until such time that we pay a dividend, our investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.
54
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf under Delaware law, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (3) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL), our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (4) any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, or (5) any other action asserting an internal corporate claim, as defined in Section 115 of the DGCL, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) in all cases subject to the court having jurisdiction over indispensable parties named as defendants. These exclusive-forum provisions do not apply to claims under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. However, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, contains a federal forum provision which provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. This exclusive-forum provision may limit a stockholders ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of its choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. If a court were to find the exclusive-forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could harm our results of operations.
General risk factors
We may not be able to obtain capital when desired on favorable terms, if at all, and we may not be able to obtain capital or complete acquisitions through the use of equity without dilution to our stockholders.
We may need additional financing to execute on our current or future business strategies, including to develop new or enhance existing solutions, acquire businesses and technologies or
55
otherwise respond to competitive pressures. Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and if we fail to raise capital when needed, we could be prevented from growing and executing our business strategy.
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, and newly-issued securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If we accumulate additional funds through debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, when we desire them, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our solutions, invest in future growth opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. Any of these factors could harm our results of operations.
If tax laws change or we experience adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income tax returns, it could adversely affect our results of operations.
We are subject to federal, state and local income taxes in the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates and the value of our deferred tax assets could be adversely affected by changes in tax laws. In addition, we are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from such examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Although we believe we have made appropriate provisions for taxes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in the tax laws or challenges from tax authorities under existing tax laws could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We will have broad discretion in the use of a significant part of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our management currently intends to use the net proceeds from this offering in the manner described in Use of Proceeds and will have broad discretion in the application of a significant part of the net proceeds from this offering, including using it to pay our indebtedness under the Credit Facility. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could affect our ability to operate and grow our business.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or publish negative reports, our stock price could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover our company downgrades our common stock or if our reporting results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.
56
We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices. We may fail to comply with the rules that apply to public companies, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which could result in sanctions or other penalties that would harm our business.
As a public company, and particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations under the Securities Act, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and regulations regarding corporate governance practices. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the rules of the SEC, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. We expect that we will need to hire additional accounting, finance, and other personnel in connection with our becoming, and our efforts to comply with the requirements of being, a public company, and our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time towards maintaining compliance with these requirements. These requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that the rules and regulations applicable to us as a public company may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We are currently evaluating these rules and regulations and cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These rules and regulations are often subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of becoming a public company or the timing of such costs. Any changes we make to comply with these obligations may not be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company on a timely basis, or at all. These reporting requirements, rules and regulations, coupled with the increase in potential litigation exposure associated with being a public company, could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or board committees or to serve as executive officers, or to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors and officers insurance, on acceptable terms.
Pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(a), we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain effective internal controls, we will need additional financial personnel, systems and resources. However, while we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will be engaged in a process to document, evaluate and test the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants, adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of
57
internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented, and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that we will not be able to conclude, within the prescribed timeframe or at all, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404. If we identify one or more material weaknesses, it could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.
As we commence conducting review and testing, we may in the future, identify deficiencies and be unable to remediate them before we must provide the required reports. Furthermore, if we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We or our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, which could harm our operating results, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and cause the trading price of our stock to fall. In addition, as a public company we will be required to file accurate and timely quarterly and annual reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Any failure to report our financial results on an accurate and timely basis could result in sanctions, lawsuits, delisting of our shares from the Nasdaq Global Market or other adverse consequences that would materially harm our business and reputation.

Special note regarding forward-looking statements
Some of the information contained in the sections titled Prospectus Summary, Risk Factors, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Business and elsewhere in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as outlook, believes, expects, potential, continues, may, will, should, could, seeks, approximately, predicts, intends, plans, estimates, anticipates, target, projects, contemplates or the negative version of those words or other comparable words. Any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based upon our historical performance and on our current plans, estimates and expectations in light of information currently available to us. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us, the underwriters or any other person that the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy, and liquidity. Accordingly, there are, or will be, important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to:
| our inability to continue our growth at or near historical rates; |
| our history of losses; |
| impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on U.S. and global economies, our business, our employees, results of operations, financial condition, demand for our products, sales and implementation cycles, and the health of our clients and partners businesses; |
| data breaches, unauthorized access to client data or other disruptions of our solutions; |
| U.S. and global market and economic conditions, particularly adverse to our targeted industries; |
| the length and variability of our sale cycle; |
| our ability to compete in highly competitive markets; |
| additional complexity, burdens, and volatility in connection with our international sales and operations; |
| third parties may assert we are infringing or violating their intellectual property rights; and |
| the other risks and uncertainties described under Risk Factors. |
These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this prospectus. The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement except as required by law, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
59
If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from what we may have expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We caution that you should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this prospectus that could cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision to purchase our common stock. Furthermore, new risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us.

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $ (or approximately $ if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full), after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, based on an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus).
A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price per share would increase (decrease) the estimated net proceeds to us by approximately $ (or approximately $ if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full), assuming that the number of shares of common stock sold by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $ , assuming that the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including to repay certain amounts outstanding under our credit facility and for acquisitions and other strategic transactions. Because we expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering.
As of June 30, 2020, we had $273.0 million under the term loan and $10.0 million under our credit facility outstanding. The credit facility and term loans bear a floating rate of interest, which we select at the beginning of a period between (i) a LIBOR loan, for which the interest rate is calculated as the then-current LIBOR rate, with a floor of 1.00%, plus 7.25%, and (ii) an index loan, for which the interest rate is calculated as the then-current Wall Street Journal Prime rate, with a floor of 2.00%, plus 6.25%. As of June 30, 2020, the interest rate under our credit facility was 9.43%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The maturity date of the credit facility is August 2023.
61
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
62
The following table sets forth our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and capitalization as of , 2020 on:
| an actual basis; |
| on a pro forma basis to reflect the (i) conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock as of , 2020 into shares of common stock in connection with the closing of this offering, which we expect to occur immediately prior to the closing of this offering and (ii) the filing and effectiveness of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation immediately prior to the closing of this offering; and |
| on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the pro forma adjustments discussed in the prior bullet and our receipt of the net proceeds from our sale and issuance of shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the front cover page of this prospectus), after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and after the use of net proceeds therefrom. |
The pro forma as adjusted information set forth in the table below is illustrative only and will be adjusted based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. You should read this table together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes, and the sections titled Selected Consolidated Financial Data and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are included elsewhere in this prospectus.

We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. An increase or decrease of 1,000,000 in the number of shares we are offering would increase or decrease, respectively, the amount of cash and cash equivalents, working capital, total assets and stockholders deficit by approximately $ million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price per share, remains the same. The pro forma as adjusted information is illustrative only, and we will adjust this information based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. |
The outstanding share information following this offering in the table above is based on shares of common stock outstanding as of , 2020 (after giving effect to the conversion of all shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding as of , 2020 into shares of common stock) and excludes the following:
| shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of , 2020, with a weighted-average exercise price of $ per share; |
| shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options granted subsequent to , 2020, with a weighted-average exercise price of $ per share; |
| shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan, which will become effective in connection with the completion of this offering as well as any automatic increases in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2021 Plan; |
| shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan; and |
| shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP which will become effective in connection with the completion of this offering, as well as any shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to provisions in our ESPP that automatically increase the number of shares of our common stock reserved under the ESPP. |

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed initial public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.
Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less our total liabilities by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Our historical net tangible book value as of , 2020 was $ million, or $ per share. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of , 2020 was $ million, or $ per share, based on the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of , 2020, after giving effect to the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock as of , 2020 into an aggregate of shares of common stock in connection with the closing of this offering.
Net tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of this offering. After giving effect to our sale of shares of common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of , 2020 would have been $ million, or $ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $ per share to purchasers of common stock in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:
Assumed initial public offering price per share |

The dilution information discussed above is illustrative only and may change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $ per share (the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) would increase (decrease), our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by $ million, or $ per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering by $ per share, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 1,000,000 in the number of shares offered by us would increase or decrease the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $ per share, and the pro forma dilution per share to investors in this offering by $ per share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
If the underwriters option to purchase additional shares from us is exercised in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering would be $ per share,
65
the increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share to existing stockholders would be $ per share and the dilution to new investors purchasing shares in this offering would be $ per share.
The table below summarizes as of , 2020, on a pro forma as adjusted basis described above, the number of shares of our common stock, the total consideration, and the average price per share (i) paid to us by our existing stockholders and (ii) to be paid by new investors purchasing our common stock in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) would increase (decrease) the total consideration paid by new investors and total consideration paid by all stockholders by approximately $ million, assuming that the number of shares of common stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock in full, our existing stockholders would own % and our new investors would own % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering. The total consideration paid by our existing stockholders would be approximately $ million, or %, and the total consideration paid by our new investors would be $ million, or %.
The foregoing calculations (other than the historical net tangible book value calculations) are based on shares of common stock outstanding as of , 2020 (after giving effect to the conversion of all of our outstanding convertible preferred stock as of , 2020 into shares of our common stock), and exclude the following shares as of , 2020:
| shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding as of , 2020, with a weighted-average exercise price of $ per share; |
| shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of options granted subsequent to , 2020, with a weighted-average exercise price of $ per share; |
| shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan, which will become effective in connection with the completion of this offering as well as any automatic increases in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2021 Plan; |
| shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan; and |
| shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP which will become effective in connection with the completion of this offering, as well as any shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to provisions in our ESPP that automatically increase the number of shares of our common stock reserved under the ESPP. |

Non-GAAP financial measures
Non-GAAP gross profit
We define Non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit before the portion related to cost of revenues of: stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and certain restructuring costs. We believe Non-GAAP gross profit provides investors and other users of our financial information consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of gross profit.

Managements 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 together with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information included in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the section titled Risk Factors. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. Unless otherwise noted, any reference to a year preceded by the word fiscal refers to the fiscal year ended June 30 of that year.
Overview
Intapp is a leading provider of industry-specific, cloud-based software solutions for the professional and financial services industry globally. We empower the worlds premier private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting firms with the technology they need to meet rapidly changing client, investor, and regulatory requirements, deliver the right insights to the right professionals, and operate more competitively.
Our Intapp Platform is purpose-built to modernize these firms. The platform facilitates greater team collaboration, digitizes complex workflows to optimize deal and engagement execution, and leverages proprietary AI to help nurture relationships and originate new business. By better connecting their most important assetspeople, processes, and dataour platform helps firms increase client fees and investment returns, operate more efficiently, and better manage risk and compliance.
70
Intapp was founded in 2000 originally to solve the challenges of integrating and managing key data for professionals, primarily serving the legal market. We have subsequently grown our business organically and through acquisitions to serve a broad set of professional and financial services firms in the United States and abroad, including investment banks, and private capital, legal, accounting and consulting firms. To serve this industry, we have built a complete end-to-end software platform which includes multiple applications and solutions.
We generate revenues primarily from software subscriptions, typically with one-year or multi-year contract terms. We sell our software through a direct enterprise sales model, which targets clients based on end market, geography, firm size, and business need. Historically, most of our clients hosted our software on-premises. However, as we saw the potential for the cloud to impact the professional and financial services industry, we invested in developing a multi-tenant cloud version of our platform and launched our initial software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions in 2017. We recognize revenues from SaaS subscriptions ratably over the term of the contract, while we recognize revenues from the license component of on-premises subscriptions upfront and the support component of such subscriptions ratably over the support term. We generally price our subscriptions based on the modules deployed as well as the number of users adopting our solution.
As of June 30, 2020, SaaS subscriptions made up 43% of our ARR, and we expect substantially all of our new ARR growth in the future to be from the sale of SaaS subscriptions. As of June 30, 2019 and 2020, cloud ARR totaled $47.3 million and $74.1 million, respectively, an increase of 57% year-on-year. ARR represents the annualized recurring value of the current portion of all active SaaS and on-premises subscription contracts at the end of a reporting period. Contracts with a term other than one year are annualized by taking the committed contract value for the current period divided by number of days in that period then multiplying by 365.
We generate a majority of our non-recurring revenues from professional services. Our clients utilize these services to configure and implement one or more modules of the Intapp Platform, integrate those modules with the existing platform and with other core systems in their IT
71
environment, upgrade their existing deployment, and provide training for their employees. Other professional services include strategic consulting and advisory work, which are generally provided on a standalone basis.
As of June 30, 2020, we had over 1,400 clients. Our business has grown historically through a combination of expanding within our existing client baseincluding selling new solutions and adding additional usersand by acquiring new clients in existing and new segments and geographies. With our scalable, modular cloud platform, we believe we are well positioned to continue our growth through the adoption of cloud-based solutions by professional and financial services firms.
Our total revenues for fiscal years 2019 and 2020 were $143.2 million and $186.9 million, respectively. Net losses attributable to us for fiscal years 2019 and 2020 were $17.1 million and $45.9 million, respectively.
Factors affecting our performance
Market adoption of our cloud platform. Our future growth depends on our ability to win new professional and financial services clients and expand within our existing client base, primarily through the continued acceptance of our cloud business. Our cloud business has historically grown faster than our overall business, and represents an increasing proportion of our ARR. We must demonstrate to new and existing clients the benefits of selecting our cloud platform, and support those deployments once live with reliable and secure service. From a sales perspective, our ability to add new clients and expand within existing accounts depends upon a number of factors, including the quality and effectiveness of our sales personnel and marketing efforts, and our ability to convince key decision makers within professional and financial services firms to embrace the Intapp Platform over point solutions, internally developed solutions, and horizontal solutions.
Long-term ARR expansion. A key element of our growth strategy is expanding within our existing client base. We typically land new clients by selling an application suite or capability to address a desired business outcome. From there, we seek to grow with the client, encouraging them to adopt our end-to-end platform capabilities across more of their organization until they reach full adoption of our platform.
We believe the historical ARR expansion within our existing client base illustrates our success in executing our land and expand strategy over the long term. To measure ARR expansion, we categorize clients by the year in which they first contracted for any of our platform modules, which we call an annual cohort. For each annual cohort, we measure the cohorts aggregate ARR for our most recently completed fiscal year and divide it by the cohorts aggregate ARR at the end of the previously completed fiscal year. We refer to the resulting quotient as ARR expansion.
The graphic below illustrates our ARR expansion for client cohorts beginning in fiscal year 2014, including clients acquired through certain business acquisitions on a pro forma basis. Each individual cohort is not necessarily predictive of other or future cohorts.
72
We measure our ability to grow and retain ARR from existing clients using a metric we refer to as net revenue retention. We calculate this by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all clients as of the twelve months prior to the applicable fiscal period, or prior period ARR. We then calculate the ARR from these same clients as of the current fiscal period, or current period ARR. We then divide the current period ARR by the prior period ARR to calculate the net revenue retention.
This metric accounts for changes in our recurring revenue base from capability increases or decreases, seat increases or decreases, price increases or decreases, and client attrition. We have averaged a net revenue retention rate of over 110% for fiscal years 2019 and 2020 due to a low level of client attrition and steady increase in client adoption of our platforms capabilities. However, if our clients do not continue to see the ability of our platform to generate return on investment relative to other software alternatives, net revenue retention could suffer and our operating results may be adversely affected.
73
Continued investment in innovation and growth. We have made substantial investments in research and development and sales and marketing to achieve a leadership position in our market and grow our revenues and client base. We intend to continue to invest in research and development to build new capabilities and maintain the core technology underpinning our differentiated platform. In addition, we expect to increase investment in sales and marketing to broaden our reach with new clients in the United States and abroad and deepen our penetration with existing clients. We are in the process of increasing our general and administrative spending to support our growing operations and prepare for operating as a public company. With our revenue growth objectives, we expect to continue to make such investments for the foreseeable future.
To complement our organic growth engine, we continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that will help us extend our platform, broaden and deepen our market leadership, and add new clients, and we have a track record of successfully identifying and integrating complementary businesses within the professional and financial services industry.
COVID-19 effects on demand for our platform. In light of the onset of COVID-19 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, we experienced lower demand and longer sales cycles from some of our clients than we would have anticipated going into the second half of fiscal year 2020. Over recent months, we have seen demand for our platform solutions begin to recover. However, given the ongoing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the risks it poses for business operations and demand for services across all sectors, there is no guarantee with respect to the timing or magnitude of demand recovery in the economy, or in the industry sectors that we serve, which may adversely impact our operating results.
Key business metrics
We review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.
Annual recurring revenues (ARR)
ARR represents the annualized recurring value of all active SaaS and on-premises subscription contracts at the end of a reporting period. Contracts with a term other than one year are annualized by taking the committed contract value for the current period divided by number of days in that period then multiplying by 365. As a metric, ARR mitigates fluctuations in revenue recognition due to certain factors, including contract term and the sales mix of SaaS contracts and subscription licenses. ARR does not have any standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenues and deferred revenues and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those elements of our financial statements. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our clients.
ARR was $143.4 million and $172.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, an increase of 20%.
74
Cloud ARR
Cloud ARR is the portion of our ARR which represents the annualized recurring value of our active SaaS contracts. We believe Cloud ARR provides important information about our ability to sell new SaaS subscriptions to existing clients and to acquire new SaaS clients.
Cloud ARR was $47.3 million and $74.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, and represented 33% and 43% of ARR for fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Number of clients
We believe our ability to increase the number of clients on our platform is a key indicator of the growth of our business and our future business opportunities. We define a client at the end of any reporting period as an entity with at least one active subscription as of the measurement date. As of June 30, 2020, we had over 1,400 clients.
Our client base includes some of the largest and most reputable professional and financial services firms globally. These clients have the financial and operating resources needed to purchase, deploy, and successfully use the full capabilities of our software platform, and as such, we believe the number of our clients with contracts greater than $100,000 of ARR is an important metric for highlighting our progress on the path to full adoption of our platform by our professional and financial services clients. As of June 30, 2020, we had over 350 clients with contracts greater than $100,000 of ARR.
Non-GAAP financial measures
Non-GAAP gross profit
We define Non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit before the portion related to cost of revenues of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and certain restructuring costs. We believe Non-GAAP gross profit provides investors and other users of our financial information consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of gross profit.

Non-GAAP operating profit
We define Non-GAAP operating profit as GAAP operating loss (profit) excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, certain acquisition-related transaction

costs and restructuring costs. We believe Non-GAAP operating profit provides investors and other users of our financial information consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of GAAP operating loss (profit).

Components of our results of operations
Revenues
We generate recurring revenues from the sale of our SaaS solutions, subscriptions to our term software applications, and from providing support for those applications. We generate non-recurring revenues primarily by delivering professional services for the configuration, implementation and upgrade of our solutions. Our recurring revenues accounted for 86% and 87% of our total revenues during fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
SaaS and support
We recognize revenues from our SaaS solutions ratably over the term of the contract beginning once the SaaS environment is provisioned and made available to clients. The initial term of our SaaS contracts is generally one to three years in duration.
Support revenues consist of non-cancelable support which is included with our subscription licenses and entitles clients to receive technical support and software updates, on a when and if available basis. We recognize revenues for support ratably over the term of the support contract which corresponds to the underlying subscription license agreement. We expect to continue to generate a relatively consistent stream of revenues from support services we provide to our existing subscription license clients. However, over time as we focus on new sales of our SaaS solutions and encourage existing subscription license clients to migrate to SaaS solutions, we expect revenues from support to decrease as a percentage of total revenues.
Subscription license
Our subscription licenses provide the client with the right to functional intellectual property and are distinct performance obligations as the client can benefit from the subscription licenses on their own. The transaction price allocated to subscription license arrangements is recognized as revenues at a point in time when control is transferred to the client, which generally occurs at the time of delivery. Subscription license fees are generally payable in advance on an annual basis over the term of the license arrangement, which is typically noncancelable.
76
Professional services
Our professional services primarily consist of implementation, configuration and upgrade services provided to clients. The majority of professional services engagements are billed to clients on a time and materials basis and revenues are recognized as invoiced. We expect the demand for our professional services to increase due to client growth and the need for implementation, upgrade, and migration services for new and existing clients. This demand will be affected by the mix of professional services that are provided by us versus provided by our third-party implementation partners. Our professional services are currently loss making (after allocated overhead for facilities and IT) and accounted for 14% and 13% of our total revenues during fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses related to providing SaaS subscription, support and professional services to our clients, including personnel costs (salaries, bonuses, benefits, and stock-based compensation) and related expenses for client support and services personnel, as well as cloud infrastructure costs, third-party expenses, depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs and acquired intangible assets, and allocated overhead. We do not have any cost of revenues related to our subscription licenses. We recognized expenses in fiscal year 2020 related to our April 2020 restructuring plan for the organizational integration of the DealCloud acquisition and some COVID-related headcount reductions that impacted our cost of revenues. We expect our cost of revenues to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our SaaS client base over time as this will result in increased cloud infrastructure costs and increased costs for additional personnel to provide technical support services to our growing client base.
Cost of SaaS and support
Our cost of SaaS and support revenues comprises the direct costs to deliver and support our products, including salaries, bonus, benefits, stock-based compensation, as well as allocated overhead for facilities and IT, third-party hosting fees related to cloud services, amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Cost of professional services
Our cost of professional services revenues comprises the personnel-related expenses for our professional services employees and contractors responsible for delivering implementation, upgrade and migration services to our clients. This includes salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, and allocated overhead for facilities and IT. We expect the cost of professional services revenues to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to hire personnel to provide implementation, upgrade and migration services to our growing client base.
Operating expenses
Research and development expense
Our research and development expenses comprise costs associated with the development of our software products for sale. The major components of research and development costs include salaries and employee benefits, costs of third-party services, and allocations of various overhead and occupancy costs. We expect our research and development expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as we continue to dedicate substantial internal resources to develop, improve and expand the functionality of our solutions.
77
Sales and marketing expense
Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for personnel-related expenses for our sales and marketing employees as well as commission payments to our sales employees, costs of marketing events and online advertising, allocations of various overhead and occupancy costs and travel and entertainment expenses. We capitalize client acquisition costs (principally commissions paid to sales personnel) and subsequently amortize these costs over the expected period of benefit. We expect our marketing expenses to decrease in absolute dollars in the short term as we decreased our marketing headcount and slowed down on marketing spend in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we expect in the long-term we will see an increase of our sales and marketing expense as we continue to expand our direct sales force to capitalize on opportunities for growth and resume in-person conferences and attendance at trade shows once the COVID-19 pandemic has been brought under control.
General and administrative expense
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses as well as professional services and facilities costs related to our executive, finance, human resources, information technology and legal functions. Following the completion of this offering, we expect to incur significant additional accounting and legal costs related to compliance with rules and regulations enacted by the SEC, including the additional costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as additional insurance, investor relations and other costs associated with being a public company.
Restructuring
Restructuring expenses relate to our April 2020 restructuring plan for the organizational integration of the DealCloud acquisition and some COVID-related headcount reductions across all functions. These charges have been classified in cost of revenues or operating expenses according to the nature of the expenses.
Interest expense
Interest expense, net primarily consists of the interest on our debt. We expect interest expense to vary each reporting period depending on the amount of outstanding debt and prevailing interest rates.
Other expense, Net
Other expense, net consists primarily of realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on receivables and payables denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Income tax benefit (Expense)
Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal, state, and foreign income taxes based on enacted federal, state, and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax laws. We maintain a full valuation allowance on our federal and state deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Recurring revenues
Recurring revenues from the sale of our SaaS solutions, from subscriptions to our term software solutions, and from providing support for these solutions increased by $39.6 million, or 32%, compared to the prior year.
Our SaaS and support revenues, which grew $40.1 million, or 54%, in fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019. This increase was principally due to the full year of revenues recognized from initial SaaS subscription and support services sold to new and existing customers in fiscal year 2019 and from renewals of such services in fiscal year 2020, the full year of revenues from the three fiscal year 2019 acquisitions, DealCloud, gwabbit and OnePlace and revenues from initial sales to new and existing clients in fiscal year 2020.
Subscription license revenues decreased $0.5 million, or 1% in fiscal year 2020 compared to the prior year as we emphasized new sales of SaaS solutions to our clients. We anticipate that the percentage of subscription license revenues as a percentage of our total revenues will continue to decrease.
Professional services
Professional services revenues increased by $4.0 million, or 20%, for fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in implementation agreements as we performed implementation, upgrade and migration services to on-board new clients and expanded our offerings to our existing clients.

Cost of SaaS and support
Cost of SaaS and support revenues increased by $14.5 million, or 63%, for fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019. The increase can be attributed primarily to increases in headcount, hosting and facilities costs to support our growth as we scale our business. Specifically, our payroll-related costs increased by $5.1 million, our facility and technology costs increased by $4.8 million, and amortization of acquired technology and capitalized software increased by $2.7 million.
Cost of professional services
Cost of professional services revenues increased by $11.1 million, or 51%, for fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $9.6 million in our personnel-related expenses for our professional services employees and consultants as we expanded our teams to provide implementation services to our growing client base.
Restructuring
Restructuring expense, which was primarily related to professional services, was $0.8 million in fiscal year 2020 as a result of a re-organization and restructuring plan undertaken by the management in April 2020 and consists of severance and employee benefit costs.
Gross profit
Our gross profit increased by $17.2 million, primarily due to growth in our recurring revenues, which was partially offset by an increase in professional services costs as we invested in implementation, upgrade and migration services to on-board new clients and to expand our subscription revenues within our existing client base, and additional SaaS and support costs due to increased investment in our cloud operations.

Research and development expense
Research and development expense increased by $13.3 million, or 46%, for fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019. The increase was driven in part by an additional $6.1 million in payroll and related costs, including $0.6 million of stock-based compensation, as a result of increased headcount, along with an increase of $4.3 million in costs for consultants and contractors in order to support the development of our products and an increase of $2.2 million in the allocation of various overhead and occupancy costs to support our increased headcount.
Sales and marketing expense
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $14.0 million, or 31%, for fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019. The increase was primarily driven by an additional $12.3 million in payroll and related costs, including $0.4 million of stock-based compensation, and an increase of $2.9 million in the allocation of various overhead and occupancy costs to support our increased headcount. Additionally, there was an increase of $0.8 million in amortization for our tradename and client relationships that we acquired as part of our acquisitions in fiscal year 2019. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in marketing and sales expenses as we canceled all in-person marketing and sales events in early 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative expense decreased by $0.2 million, or 1%, for fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019. While we had an increase in certain expenses to support the growth of our business, such as an increase of $3.9 million in payroll and related costs due to increased headcount, the increase was offset by a decrease in transaction costs of $3.1 million, and a decrease of $0.6 million in recruiting costs, a decrease of $0.3 million in travel and entertainment expenses and a decrease of $0.3 million in costs related to conferences and events which were related to cost reduction measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Restructuring
Restructuring expense was $2.9 million in fiscal year 2020 as a result of a re-organization and restructuring plan undertaken by the management in April 2020 and consists of severance and employee benefit costs.

Interest expense increased by $7.9 million for fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019. The change was primarily driven by an increase in our term loan in May 2019, resulting in interest being paid on a higher balance for the entire fiscal year 2020 compared to only a partial period during fiscal year 2019. Additionally, we increased our borrowings on the credit facility during the twelve months ended June 30, 2020.

Income tax expense was $0.4 million for fiscal year 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $7.8 million recorded during fiscal year 2019. Our income tax benefit during fiscal year 2019 was primarily attributable to a partial release of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in the U.S. due to acquisitions that were completed during the year. The valuation allowance release was the result of net deferred tax liabilities originating from the acquisitions that were an available source of income to realize a portion of our deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and capital resources
Sources of liquidity
As of June 30, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $43.2 million. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through collections from clients, borrowings under our credit facility and the issuance of convertible preferred and common stock. We generally bill and collect from our clients annually in advance. Our billings are subject to seasonality, with billings in the second and fourth quarters substantially higher than in the first and third quarters.
We expect that operating losses and negative cash flows from operations could continue in the future as we continue to invest in the growth of our business. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2020 will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, our ability to grow our revenues and the timing and extent of investment across our organization necessary to support growth in our business. In addition, we may, in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses or technologies. We may need to seek additional equity or debt financing in order to meet these future capital requirements. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, or on terms that are acceptable to us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We continue to assess the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business and operations will depend on future
83
developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the continuing spread of the infection, the duration of the pandemic, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease.

(1) | Includes debt-related cash interest payments of $17.7 million and $22.1 million during fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively. |
Operating activities
During fiscal year 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $1.4 million, primarily resulting from our operating loss of $45.9 million, which was offset by $44.5 million of adjustments. These adjustments consisted of $18.1 million of non-cash charges (principally comprising depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense), and net cash inflow of $26.4 million from net changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts and other receivable of $7.7 million as we increased collections on our outstanding receivables, an increase in deferred revenues of $18.0 million consistent with our revenue growth and an increase in other liabilities of $9.0 million which primarily related to accrued interest on our debt and deferred rent. These changes were partially offset by an increase in unbilled revenues of $3.8 million and deferred commissions of $3.4 million consistent with our revenue growth and a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $1.3 million due to timing of payments.
During fiscal year 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $5.1 million, primarily resulting from our operating loss of $17.1 million, which was offset by $12.0 million of adjustments. These adjustments consisted of non-cash charges of $5.8 million and net cash inflow of $6.2 million from net changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of business combinations. The net cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily driven by an increase in deferred revenues of $18.9 million due to our revenue growth and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $10.0 million due to timing of payments. These changes were partially offset by an increase in unbilled revenues of $3.8 million and deferred commissions of $3.8 million consistent with our revenue growth and an increase in accounts and other receivables of $14.0 million due to the timing of collections from our clients.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities consists of business acquisitions, purchases of property and equipment, leasehold improvements, and capitalization of internal use software costs.
84
During fiscal year 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $5.1 million, consisting of capitalized internal use software costs of $2.5 million and capital expenditures of $2.6 million on property and equipment.
During fiscal year 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $194.6 million, consisting of $190.3 million of cash consideration (net of cash acquired), paid for our acquisitions of DealCloud, gwabbit and OnePlace, capital expenditures of $2.4 million on property and equipment including $1.8 million in leasehold improvements, and $1.9 million of capitalized internal-use software.
Financing activities
During fiscal year 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $27.2 million, primarily resulting from $16.5 million net proceeds for the issuance of convertible preferred stock, $3.6 million proceeds from option exercises and shareholder contribution and $10.0 million of net proceeds from borrowings on our revolving line of credit offset by payments of $2.8 million to repurchase shares and options in the tender offer in October 2019.
During fiscal year 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $204.3 million, primarily resulting from $281.0 million of proceeds from borrowings, $5.9 million from stock option exercises and the issuance of common stock, partially offset by payments on borrowings of $78.0 million and $4.6 million of debt financing costs.

* | Excludes interest payments on term loan which are based on a variable interest rate as discussed below under Indebtedness |
Indebtedness
In September 2013, we obtained a revolving and term credit facility (as amended in 2018 and 2019, the credit facility) from a lender, which provides for a total borrowing capacity of $283.0 million, consisting of a $273.0 million term loan and a $10.0 million revolving line of credit.
Amounts drawn under the revolving line of credit may be repaid and reborrowed at any time during the term of the agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the draws, together with any accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable on the maturity date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the credit facility. We may prepay the term loans at any time with an applicable prepayment premium. Any principal amount of the term loans that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
85
The credit facility and term loans bear a floating rate of interest, which we select at the beginning of a period between (i) a LIBOR loan, for which the interest rate is calculated as the then-current LIBOR rate, with a floor of 1.00%, plus 7.25%, and (ii) an index loan, for which the interest rate is calculated as the then-current Wall Street Journal Prime rate, with a floor of 2.00%, plus 6.25%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. The maturity date of the credit facility is August 2023.
The credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, requires us to meet a defined financial ratio as well as maintain a specified minimum liquidity amount. We were in compliance with all of the covenants as of June 30, 2020. Failure to be in compliance with these covenants could adversely affect our business, including requiring all or a portion of our outstanding obligations to become due and payable.
As of June 30, 2020, we had an outstanding balance of $273.0 million under the term loan and $10.0 million under the credit facility.
We incurred $4.6 million of costs directly related to obtaining the credit facility which have been recorded as deferred financing fees and are being amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the term of the facility.
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks.
Interest rate risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our outstanding debt. As of June 30, 2020, we had debt of $283.0 million. Interest on our debt accrues at a variable rate based on the LIBOR or prime rate and is therefore subject to interest rate risk. For example, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased our interest expense by $2.8 million in fiscal year 2020.
Foreign currency exchange risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency for all of our foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, except Rekoop Ltd., which uses the U.K. pound.
The majority of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we have foreign currency risks as we have contracts with clients and payroll obligations and a limited number of supply contracts with vendors which have payments denominated in foreign currencies.
The volatility of exchange rates depends on many factors that we cannot forecast with reliable accuracy. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in foreign exchange gains and losses related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have not engaged in the hedging of foreign currency transactions to date, although we may choose to do so in the future. We do not believe that a 10% increase or decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition.
Credit risk
We routinely assess the creditworthiness of our clients. We have not experienced any material losses related to non-payment of receivables from individual or groups of clients, due to loss of
86
creditworthiness during fiscal years 2019 and 2020. Clients representing in excess of 10% of our accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2020 were one and zero, respectively. Due to these factors, management believes that we do not have additional credit risk beyond the amounts already provided for collection losses in our accounts receivable.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
The process of preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and judgments. A summary of our significant accounting policies is contained in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition requires judgment and the use of estimates, especially in identifying and evaluating the various non-standard terms and conditions in our contracts with clients and their effect on reported revenues.
We derive our revenues primarily from the following four sources, which represent our performance obligations:
i. | Sales of our SaaS solutions; |
ii. | Sales of subscriptions to license our on-premises software; |
iii. | Provision of support activities; and |
iv. | Provision of professional services. |
The estimates and assumptions requiring significant judgment under our revenue recognition policy in accordance with ASC 606 are as follows:
Determination of the transaction price
We determine the transaction price based on the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring our services and products to the client. We estimate variable consideration included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that no significant future reversal of cumulative revenues under the contract will occur.
In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide clients with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our products and services, not to receive financing from clients or to provide clients with financing.
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, we allocate the entire transaction price to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations
87
require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price (SSP). The determination of SSP involves judgment and is generally based on the contractually stated, observable prices of the promised goods and services charged when sold separately to client. The majority of our contracts contain multiple performance obligations (such as when subscription licenses are sold with support and implementation services) and are typically capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In a contract with multiple performance obligations, we allocate revenues to each performance obligation at the inception of the contract.
Some of our performance obligations have observable inputs that are used to determine the SSP of those distinct performance obligations. Where SSP is not directly observable, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.
Stock-based compensation
We calculate compensation expense related to stock option awards made to employees and directors based on the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant. We determine the grant date fair value of our awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the related stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis, over the period in which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the stock-based award, which is generally four years. We recognize stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and we recognize forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.
Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires significant judgement. The determination of the grant date fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by our estimated common stock fair value as well as other subjective assumptions including the expected term of the awards, the expected volatility over the expected term of the awards, expected dividend yield and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model represent managements best estimates and are as follows:
| Fair Value of Common Stock. As our stock is not publicly traded, we estimate the fair value of common stock based on contemporaneous valuations and other factors deemed relevant by management. |
| Expected Term. The expected term of employee stock options reflects the period for which the Company believes the option will remain outstanding based on historical experience and future expectations. |
| Expected Volatility. As we do not have trading history for our common stock, the selected volatility used is representative of expected future volatility. We base expected future volatility on the historical and implied volatility of comparable publicly traded companies over a similar expected term. |
| Expected Dividend Yield. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, we used an expected dividend yield of zero. |
| Risk-Free Interest Rates. We base the risk-free interest rate on the applicable rate for a U.S. Treasury issue with a term that closely approximates the expected life of the option grant at the date nearest the option grant date. |
88
We have issued performance-based stock options that vest based upon continued service through the vesting term and achievement of certain new annual contract value targets established by the Board of Directors for a predetermined period. We measure stock-based compensation expense for performance-based stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and we recognize compensation expense for such awards in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in our business combinations. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We have determined that we have one reporting unit for purposes of our annual impairment evaluation. As part of the annual goodwill impairment test, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of this qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amounts, the quantitative impairment test will be required. There was no impairment of goodwill recorded for fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. These differences are measured using the enacted statutory tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the net amount that it believes is more-likely-than-not to be realized. Management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.
Recent accounting pronouncements
See Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for more information regarding recent accounting pronouncements and our assessment of their impact.
JOBS Act
In April 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the
89
extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
We also intend to rely on certain other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act, including: not having to (1) provide an auditors attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or (2) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements, known as the auditor discussion and analysis.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues; (2) the date we qualify as a large accelerated filer, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and we have been required to file annual, quarterly and current reports under the Exchange Act for at least twelve months , and we have filed at least one annual report pursuant to the Exchange Act; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the last day of fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering.

By better connecting their most important assetspeople, processes, and dataour platform helps firms increase client fees and investment returns, operate more efficiently, and better manage risk and compliance.
The professional and financial services industry is one of the largest sectors in the global economy. Firms in this industry operate in a highly connected ecosystem, providing valuable expertise, insight, and advice to a broad range of companies across multiple transactions and engagements. The industry is competitive and uniquely structured around highly experienced partners and professionals who leverage knowledge, intellectual capital, and relationships to succeed, as opposed to providing physical goods. Firms must manage an intricate web of complex, non-linear relationships spread across various functions, processes, and personnel while also navigating an ever-changing regulatory environment.
Historically, firms in the professional and financial services industry have either relied on internally built technology solutions and legacy on-premises software or attempted to use horizontal software providers for their industry-specific technology needs. Internally built or legacy solutions tend to be outdated, expensive, and cumbersome to maintain, while horizontal solutions do not align well with how these firms operate and require heavy customization. As a result, we believe these firms are increasingly embracing industry-specific software and AI technology to achieve improved levels of growth, investment, returns, productivity, risk management, and a differentiated experience for their clients, teams, and investors.
Our deep understanding of the professional and financial services industry has enabled us to develop a suite of solutions on the Intapp Platform tailored to address these challenges faced by firms. We offer two solutions:

We sell our software on a subscription basis through a direct enterprise sales model. As of June 30, 2020, we had over 1,400 clients. Our business has historically grown through a combination of expanding within our existing client baseincluding additional users and capabilitiesand selling to new clients. With our scalable, modular cloud-based platform, we believe we are well positioned to continue our growth.
Our total revenues for fiscal year 2020 were $186.9 million, an increase of 30% over the total revenues for fiscal year 2019 of $143.2 million. Net losses attributable to us for fiscal years 2019 and 2020 were $17.1 million and $45.9 million, respectively. Our ARR was $143.4 million and $172.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, an increase of 20%. Recently, the majority of our ARR growth has been driven by the sale of SaaS subscriptions. Our Cloud ARR were $47.3 million and $74.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, an increase of 57%.
Industry background
The professional and financial services industry is one of the largest sectors in the global economy. Within this industry, we primarily focus on private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting firms, which, based on the research we have conducted, we believe collectively represent a $3 trillion sector. These firms are fundamental to the growth and development of the global economy.
Professional and financial services firms provide valuable expertise, insight and advice to companies throughout their lifecycle, from early stages of growth to maturity. Professional and financial services firms operate in a highly connected ecosystem, frequently providing services and advice to the same end client, or partnering with each other on a specific transaction for the same end client such as an initial public offering, or IPO. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for a single professional or financial services firm to provide multiple services to the same client, as is the case for a Big 4 accounting firm that provides accounting, consulting, taxation, investment banking, legal, and other services.
Professional and financial services firms business models have unique, differentiating characteristics
Firms in the professional and financial services industry are organized around knowledge, intellectual capital and relationships as opposed to physical goods, manufacturing and supply
92
chains. Firms leverage their specific domain expertise and collective experience to provide their clients with valuable insights and advice or to drive differentiated returns for investors. Instead of a typical sales cycle focused on selling a specific product, these firms have long, continuous, relationship-based sales cycles focused on winning and maintaining client engagements over time, or identifying and closing a series of transactions.
Client engagements often require these firms to manage an intricate web of complex, non-linear relationships spread across various functions, processes, and personnel. As a result, these firms must maintain strong processes to manage confidentiality, potential conflicts of interest and ethical walls in order to monitor and manage risk tied to accepting and winning new engagements. Furthermore, monetization models for these firms tend to be based on success fees or billable hours, or capital returns performance.
The structure of professional and financial services firms is fundamentally different than that of organizations in other industries, such as manufacturing and retail, that consist of large departmental groups with a very small C-suite layer overseeing the entire organization. Professional and financial services firms are structured and organized such that a large number of highly experienced partners and professionals are tasked with operating and managing their own practices or pools of capital to drive business outcomes with departmental functions providing supporting services.
The relationship lifecycle is the cornerstone of success in professional and financial services
Client relationships are the cornerstone of professional and financial services firms success. They are critical strategic assets and building and maintaining those relationships through a companys lifecycle underpins how professional and financial services firms realize maximum economic value for their services over time. A comprehensive approach to the relationship lifecycle boosts a professional and financial services firms competitive positioning while increasing its share of the clients business.
Many professional and financial services firms seek to deploy a structured and connected approach to the relationship lifecycle which includes client development, business acceptance, and delivery of client services. Ensuring client satisfaction at every stage of the lifecycle leads to significant gains in winning and maintaining new business by delivering the right insights to the right professionals at the right time. Conversely, any shortcomings in these processes either jeopardize the client experience or lead to failures to capitalize on an opportunity and thus negatively impact the overall client relationship. Therefore, professional and financial services firms seek holistic, unified solutions to deliver successful business outcomes across the entire lifecycle.
Professional and financial services firms utilize complex data and cross-functional processes
To help win new business and ensure client success, teams at professional and financial services firms utilize multiple complex data sources and cross-functional processes that span various personnel functions and systems. Professionals use and analyze vast amounts of both internal and external data sources, such as client, deal, and market data, that reside in various siloed systems. Data needs to be aggregated from these various siloed systems, put in the right context for the right user, and integrated with relevant systems and applications. For example, throughout a typical law firms workflow cycle, multiple personnel must address a complex number of interdependent tasks (as the diagram below indicates). As professional and financial services
93
firms expand the number of clients and projects, these tasks increase the complexity and collective interdependence required of the teams in the client lifecycle process.
Professional and financial services firms are increasingly embracing digital transformation and use of industry-specific software
Multiple catalysts are driving the rapid adoption of technology in the professional and financial services industry.
| Rising client expectations and intensifying competitive environment. The professional and financial services industry is experiencing a transformation driven by rising client expectations, an intensifying, expanding competitive landscape, and increased transaction activity. To continue to grow and compete, professional services firms are broadening their capabilities and expanding into new segments, such as the Big 4 accounting firms expansion into consulting, taxation, legal, and other services. Similarly, private capital firms focused on equity investments are diversifying into other asset classes such as debt. Additionally, in the private capital markets, there are a rising number of firms competing for the same clients or assets, which is further intensifying the competitive landscape. Clients now have more options and are more informed about process and value. As a result, the market has tipped in favor of the clients, who are increasingly setting the agenda, demanding greater transparency, agility, value and productivity, and better insights from professional and financial services firms. In light of these evolving industry dynamics and client expectations, technology is becoming increasingly necessary to compete successfully, with professional and financial services firms utilizing data-driven business solutions to differentiate their expertise, offerings, and value in order to drive business outcomes. |
| Adoption of cloud-based software continues to accelerate. Mission-critical applications are increasingly being delivered more reliably, securely, cost-effectively and with high scalability to clients via the cloud. New versions and updates are rapidly deployed to all clients. Historically, firms in the professional and financial services industry have relied on internally built solutions and legacy on-premises software. However, with rapid innovation and rising client expectations, these solutions are becoming outdated, less secure, and expensive to maintain. More importantly, cloud-based solutions more readily enable real-time collaboration and provide |
94
access to valuable data from anywhere, anytime, on any device. As a result, professional and financial services firms are increasingly adopting and implementing cloud-based software within their organizations. |
| Unlocking and maintaining collective knowledge and expertise. Knowledge and expertise are among the most valuable assets of professional and financial services firms and underpin the relationships that drive value for these organizations. In an increasingly competitive environment, professional and financial services firms are continuously seeking to differentiate themselves on the basis of their knowledge and intellectual capital. Capturing, codifying, and retaining institutional knowledge and expertise is a critical priority. Unlocking the full power of the collective knowledge of a firm requires domain expertise to ascertain the information critical to a professional or financial services firm, a systematic technological approach to capture this data and relevant connections, and the ability to leverage this data to deliver contextual insightsthe right insights, to the right professionals, at the right time. |
In partner-led firms, turnover in senior leadership and other highly experienced professionals carries an inherent risk of losing accumulated knowledge, expertise, skills, networks, and relationships. Furthermore, young professionals joining the workforce have a greater tendency to switch jobs or firms, thus exacerbating the problem of maintaining institutional knowledge. As a result, many firms are turning to technology as a means of harnessing the value of their knowledge assets.
| Access to vast repositories of real-time internal and external data. Data in the professional and financial services industry is increasing and has historically been siloed across a large number of systems. There are vast amounts of real-time data to which firms now have access, whether internal or external. However, a significant amount of that data is underutilized, lacks accessibility and availability, and suffers quality issues. These issues are in part due to the challenges of cleansing and stitching together data from siloed systems. In recent years, more professional and financial services firms are realizing the value of collating and connecting internal and external data and integrating such data with the relevant systems and applications for the right user in the right context. |
| The use of AI is creating a significant competitive advantage. AI is poised to play a bigger role in transforming the professional and financial services industry relative to other industries, since value delivered by professionals in the industry is centered around providing knowledge, insight, and advice. Collecting, aggregating, and subsequently synthesizing the vast amounts of data in real-time to extract actionable intelligence is critical for firms in the professional and financial services industry, yet nearly impossible to do without the use of AI. Furthermore, AI is able to automate processes to deliver those insights with great speed. The use of AI is creating significant competitive advantages for firms by enabling them to unify disparate data sources, surface key insights, manage unforeseen risks, and increase efficiency through higher levels of automation in core processes. |
| Generational shift in technology use at work. Professional and financial services relationships are highly dependent on human capital, making it crucial for firms to attract, retain, and nurture talent. The global economy is experiencing changing workforce dynamics such as remote workforces, which have been accelerated by COVID-19, as well as a generational shift in the workforce. These evolving dynamics are making it increasingly challenging for firms to attract and retain talent in the industry. Younger generations have grown up with smartphones, laptops, and social media being the norm, and expect seamless access to |
95
information and high-quality user experiences. Given that most professionals in the industry are mobile, having access to valuable data from anywhere, anytime, and on any device is a key competitive advantage. According to a PwC survey, two-thirds of millennials said that state-of-the-art technology was important to them when considering an employer, and a majority of millennials in financial services make use of their own technology at work to make them more effective. As younger professionals take on leadership roles in the professional and financial services industry, they are more likely to invest in modern technology solutions for their firms, relative to the prior generation. |
Existing approaches to manage critical and complex processes for professional and financial services firms are inadequate
Traditionally, professional and financial services firms have used an array of solutions to manage their critical and complex processes. These solutions include:
| Internally developed solutions. These internally developed solutions have become increasingly expensive to maintain and lack next-generation technology features and capabilities such as security, governance, and scalability. |
| Legacy solutions. These solutions have become increasingly outdated due to their aging architecture or limited capabilities, usability, and functionality. They are predominately on-premises and have continued to fall behind SaaS solutions and comprehensive, end-to-end industry-specific platforms. |
| Horizontal solutions. These solutions were designed for traditional, manufacturing, and retail-based industries and thus require complex and expensive customization to fit the unique needs of the professional and financial services industry. Even with customization, these platforms often fail to align with the ways these firms operate. |
These solutions, either used individually or in combination, often fall short of meeting the needs of the professional and financial services industry as they fail to provide a unified view of a firms critical data, do not align with processes specific to the industry, or are expensive, slow, complex, manual, error-prone, and require significant customization.
Our market opportunity
We believe the underlying trends in the professional and financial services industry present a compelling market opportunity for Intapp. The failure of legacy systems and horizontal solutions to adequately address the specialized technology needs of todays professional and financial services firms creates demand for companies like Intapp that focus on industry-specific, cloud-based software solutions. Our market opportunity encompasses both displacing alternative solutions currently used within these firms and penetrating white space areas within these firmsareas where no software solution is currently being used but where Intapp can otherwise address the business need with one of our existing or near-term solutions.
We believe private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting collectively represent a massive $3 trillion industry based on research we have conducted. We believe this industry has a significant need to utilize software to help drive business success, with total addressable market for business software at approximately $23.9 billion. Within this, we believe the serviceable addressable market (SAM) opportunity, based on Intapps current solutions, to be approximately $9.6 billion, of which over $6.5 billion would be attributable to large firms with
96
over 500 employees. The total number of firms across the private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting sectors is estimated on a global basis. This SAM estimate was calculated by multiplying the average number of professionals per firm by the annual price per professional that we expect to charge to utilize the Intapp Platform on a fully adopted basis, for our existing products only, based upon market interviews and our historical data and experience. We believe our SAM opportunity will increase over time as we expect to continue to develop new solutions and selectively pursue potential acquisitions to address other capabilities demanded by professional and financial services firms to drive their business success.
Our platform
Our Intapp Platform is purpose-built to modernize these firms. The platform facilitates greater team collaboration, digitizes complex workflows to optimize deal and engagement execution, and leverages proprietary AI to help nurture relationships and originate new business. By better connecting their most important assetspeople, processes, and dataour platform helps firms increase client fees and investment returns, operate more efficiently, and better manage risk and compliance.
Our deep understanding of the professional and financial services industry has enabled us to develop a suite of solutions on the Intapp Platform tailored to address these challenges faced by firms.
We offer these solutions through an integrated platform that features three key categories of capabilities: a tailored and configurable user experience (UX) based on industry-specific templates, modern AI and intelligence applied to high-value domain-specific use cases, and a specialized data architecture that accurately reflects the unique firm operating model.

Industry solutions
Our solutions enable private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting firms to realize the benefits of modern AI and cloud-based architectures for their most critical business functions without compromising industry-specific functionality or regulatory compliance. We have two brands with which we go to market:
| DealCloud is our deal and relationship management solution for financial services firms. The solution manages firms client relationships, prospective clients and investments, current engagements and deal processes, and operations and compliance activities, allowing investors and advisors to react faster, make better decisions, and execute the best deals. For investment banks and advisory firms, this helps enhance their coverage models, achieve greater win rates, and drive higher success fees. For investors, this helps increase origination volume, support investment selection, and drive greater returns. |
| OnePlace is our solution to manage all aspects of a professional services firms client and engagement lifecycle. The solution improves client strategy and targeting, business development and origination, and work delivery, increasing financial performance and regulatory compliance. Professionals make better decisions faster by leveraging more institutional knowledge from across the firm. |
98
Intapp Platform
Our solutions are built on a single platform, taking advantage of shared capabilities tailor-made for the unique requirements of firms. Key features include:
Low-code configurability and personalized UX
Our configurable UX capabilities allow technical and non-technical users to rapidly tailor our applications to meet their specific needs. These capabilities enable our clients to make meaningful changes to their user experience, processes, or business rules with drag-and-drop configuration features and functionality without having to perform custom coding. The flexibility of this framework enables firms to maximize their agility, easily adapting the software to match the frequent changes in their business.
We leverage our deep domain expertise in professional and financial services to create and provide our clients access to pre-built industry-relevant configuration templates that are designed precisely for how these firms and their professionals operate. By mapping the user interface, data model, and workflows of our platform to firms unique industry and organizational requirements, we can deliver smart, personalized experiences by practice area, asset class, investment strategy, sector, industry, and geography.
Applied artificial intelligence
Industry-specific AI is embedded throughout our platform and solutions to help professional and financial services firms use their vast amounts of data to optimize critical processes and make better, faster decisions. The applications of AI span a wide range across firm operations, from strategy and business development through to risk and compliance and work execution. Examples include:
| Automatically analyzing all past engagements by shared characteristics, to derive data-validated intelligence that can be used to improve pricing strategies, and optimize staffing levels. |
| Enhancing conflicts review on matters with large number of parties, for example, bankruptcies or restructuring, to accelerate conflicts clearance and help firms open matters faster with fewer errors. |
| Capturing billable activities to find missing time and automatically fill out timesheets to reduce revenue leakage, minimize write-offs, and accelerate cash and collections. |
Industry-specific data architecture
Our platform includes several key data management capabilities that help firms more effectively capture and leverage their critical data using a system of record that reflects the unique operating model of professional and financial services. These capabilities include:
| Hyper-relational data architecture. Our hyper-relational data architecture is a specialized data model, purpose-built to capture the complex relationships unique to professional and financial services. The platform creates many-to-many data linkages that connect professionals with prospective clients, investors and target portfolio companies and assets. Our solutions leverage these linkages to provide personalized analysis and insights for each professional that reflects his or her unique area of specialty, including client industry, asset class, investment strategy, geography, transaction type, and others. |
99
| Low-code integration platform. Intapp Integration Service is a core capability of our platform that provides cloud-native and easy-to-use, enterprise class integration to connect any application, any data, anywhere across firms without requiring any code. The solution helps firms overcome data silos and easily move information between systems, including within our platform. Intapp Integration Service includes more than 100 industry-specific connectors, as well as extensive built-in workflow and automation capabilities tailored to the unique needs of professional and financial services firms. |
| Market intelligence in one place. Our platform combines proprietary and third-party market data, transforming it into institutional knowledge that gives dealmakers and other professionals a competitive advantage through better market intelligence. Professionals can easily run complex reports, analyze industry trends, and evaluate potential synergies in the same place where they originate new business and manage relationships. With better real-time, actionable market data, investors can source and close deals that best match their investment thesis and strategy, advisory professionals can quickly develop proprietary relationships and coverage strategies with companies that match previous transactions, and lawyers can more accurately identify white space opportunities with global clients to grow their relationships. |
Key benefits of our solution
Our platform solutions helps professional and financial services firms to:
| Increase revenues and investment returns. Our clients leverage Intapps solutions to increase their revenues and investment returns by improving their origination and business development effectiveness, optimizing market coverage, and helping nurture key relationships to ensure time is spent with the right people and that those relationships convert into business. Our solutions provide firms with a single source of truth and 360 degrees views of key clients, related investments, potential new clients and investments, and prospective deals, giving partners, professionals, and dealmakers a competitive advantage in the market. |
| Operate more efficiently and profitably. Our solutions help clients increase efficiency and profitability by streamlining and automating the many functions required to originate deals and deliver work. Using Intapps workflow, analytics, and AI capabilities, firms can connect and operationalize their formerly disjointed engagement and deal lifecycle, eliminating manual processes, reducing duplicative data entry, and scaling to support growing businesses with less overhead. This focus includes critical processes such as investor relations, business development, conflicts clearance and business acceptance, engagement planning and resourcing, and billing and collections. Our cloud-based delivery model also reduces firms operating costs by eliminating their need to own, upgrade, and support the solutions or associated hardware infrastructure. |
| Manage risk and compliance more effectively. Our solutions help firms reduce regulatory, financial, and reputational risk through workflow and automation, AI, predictive analytics, and rules-based risk scoring. Using Intapp, risk and compliance teams can work seamlessly together with front office professionals, all within the Intapp Platform, to quickly assess new business opportunities, clear and manage conflicts and independence issues, easily establish ethical walls, prepare for regulatory or client audits, and dynamically respond to rapidly changing regulatory landscapes and the firms overall risk posture. |
100
| Leverage collective knowledge for competitive advantage. Our solutions provide a competitive advantage to firms by helping leverage their immense, but often under-utilized, collective knowledge. With integrated and connected information about investors, economic sectors, deals, clients, engagements, and relationships, combined with relevant third-party data, firm professionals are armed to make better, faster decisions, with better market insights and the knowledge with which to develop stronger relationships and increased business from clients, potential new clients, investors, and potential new investors. |
Why Intapp wins
We believe the following strengths provide us with a competitive advantage and position us for our success:
| Deep domain expertise. Over the last 20 years serving the professional and financial services markets, we believe we have developed a unique perspective into the processes and systems needed to drive these firms operations and business success. We have a substantial number of employees with previous career experience in the industry we serve, and we have cultivated difficult-to-replicate, privileged access to the key decision makers at these firms, including CEOs, CIOs, and CFOs. We conduct regular meetings with industry advisory boards who, along with serving as strong references for our platform, provide valuable insights into the challenges facing their firms and the issues they need technology to address the most. As a result, we believe we have an inherent competitive advantage in identifying, prioritizing, and innovating our software platform to support the industrys evolving technology needs. |
| Purpose-built for professional and financial services. Our platform has been designed for the unique organizational structure and day-to-day processes of professional and financial services firms. Our industry-relevant templates provide a familiar interface, nomenclature, and data model. The software is easily configured to match the needs of these professionals. This makes our software intuitive for the professionals that use it and easy to integrate alongside the rest of the firms IT and business process infrastructure, and delivers rapid time-to-value, in contrast with horizontal software solutions retrofitted for these firms. |
| Comprehensive cloud-based platform. We offer an end-to-end platform serving the entirety of the complex workflows of our clients, enabling firms to manage all of their important data and perform critical processes on one highly scalable and secure cloud platform. Our platform contains all of the functionality users expect of modern cloud software, such as a scalable architecture, cloud security, elegant and easy-to-use interfaces, common APIs, robust mobile accessibility, and data integration. We believe this capability is differentiated from many other software providers that either lack such modern functionality designed specifically for our target industry or can only deliver a point solution within the relationship (deal and engagement) lifecycle. |
| Data-driven AI insights and capabilities. More than 100 industry-specific connectors integrate with the Intapp Platform. Our technology captures and combines a firms internal proprietary data with third-party data systems to deliver a connected, single source of truth to the firms professionals. This data is augmented by contextual insights, utilizing our proprietary AI to provide intelligence to inform professionals decision-making processes throughout the entire relationship lifecycle. |
| Industry leadership and brand recognition. We are a premier software company dedicated to serving the professional and financial services industry and have developed a strong reputation |
101
in the industry over the last 20 years. Our software is increasingly valuable to professional and financial services firms across the globe that are deploying a purpose-built platform for critical processes within their organization. We currently power 96 of the Am Law 100 law firms, 7 of the top 8 accounting firms, and more than 900 private capital and investment banking firms. We believe clients recognize our Intapp, OnePlace, and DealCloud brands and believe us to be a thought leader in the industry. The professional and financial services industry is tightly interconnected. As such, many professionals who move from firm to firm and are exposed to our best-in-class solutions support our success by recommending our solutions to their new employers, setting us up to drive significant further adoption of our platform and further expanding our brand recognition. |
| Experienced management and technology team. With two decades of working together, our management team brings a combination of leadership, strong relationship with the industry leaders, and difficult-to-replicate industry domain expertise. In addition, with our long history of serving the professional and financial services industry, our technology team brings public company-scale platform experience, significant AI technology depth, and industry expertise to address the needs of our clients. Our founders continue to set our product vision and lead the organization, drawing on a team of AI Ph.D.s and data scientists, advisors from academia, and industry advisory boards who guide our product investment decisions to create differentiating capabilities. |
Our growth strategies
We plan to extend our leadership position as a provider of industry SaaS solutions for professional and financial services. The key components of our growth strategy are:
| Capitalize on a generational shift to the cloud. Mission-critical applications are increasingly being delivered more reliably, securely and cost-effectively via the cloud, which can more readily enable real-time collaboration and provide access to valuable data from anywhere, anytime, on any device. As more professionals embrace cloud technologies, they drive the accelerated adoption of additional cloud capabilities across their firms. We believe we are now in the early stages of a strong adoption cycle of cloud-based solutions by professional and financial services firms, driven in part by the needs of the next generation of professionals for purpose-built technology and software solutions. |
| Expand within our existing client base. We have a deep, longstanding, and trust-based relationship with our clients. Our land-and-expand model generates multi-year growth within our client base, with client lifetimes often spanning more than a decade. Clients typically adopt our modular solution to address a specific use case, and then expand their use by adopting more modules, adding more users, and deploying to other parts of their organization over time. We estimate that if our largest 100 clients expanded their use of Intapp Platform to serve all of their users in all parts of their organizationsrepresenting full adoption and usage of the current Intapp Platform capabilitiesthose 100 clients could represent an additional Intapp sales opportunities in excess of $1 billion of ARR. |
| Grow our client base. We believe we are addressing a large, underserved market of approximately 60,000 firms with high demand for the capabilities we offer, and that we have a significant opportunity to continue to grow our client base. We have added approximately 200 net new clients for each of fiscal year 2019 and 2020, excluding acquired clients. We will |
102
continue to invest in our sales and marketing force to target new client opportunities and grow our client base. |
| Add new solutions to our platform. We plan to continue investing in our research and development team to enhance the functionality and breadth of our current solutions, as well as to develop and launch new solutions to address the evolving needs of our clients. In particular, we are continuing to invest resources in extending our AI and data science capabilities to better connect people, processes, and data. |
| Broaden our geographical reach. In fiscal year 2020, we derived 28% of our revenue from international markets outside the United States. We believe there is a significant need for our solutions on a global basis and, accordingly, opportunity for us to grow our business through further international expansion. We will continue to broaden our global footprint and intend to establish a presence in additional international markets. |
| Selectively pursue strategic transactions. We have acquired and successfully integrated several complementary businesses that allowed us to enhance our platform, add new technology capabilities, and address new client segments. For example, we acquired DealCloud in 2018 to better target private capital and investment banking clients with cloud-based deal management, pipeline management and CRM functionalities. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that will help us extend our market leadership and client reach. |

No single client represented more than 10% of total revenues in fiscal year 2020.
Sales and marketing
We currently focus on marketing and selling our solutions to professional and financial services firms in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. We seek to drive market demand by developing and delivering specific, market-focused solutions to professional and financial service firms.
We primarily generate sales through a direct enterprise sales model. All sales personnel focus on attracting new clients as well as expanding usage within our existing client base. Our sales team is supported by technical sales professionals and subject-matter experts who facilitate the sales process through developing and presenting demonstrations of our solutions after assessing requirements, addressing security and technical questions, and matching client needs with the appropriate solutions. We also have a team of experts who help advise on best practices and
107
methodologies, strategize with respect to operations processes and management structure, and assess value creation and ROI from our solutions.
Our marketing efforts are focused on generating awareness of our solutions, creating sales leads, establishing and promoting our brand, showcasing our thought leadership, and cultivating a community of loyal clients and users. We utilize both online and offline marketing initiatives, including events and industry trade shows, online advertising, webinars, blogs, corporate communications, white papers, and case studies. We cultivate a community of our executive level buyers and influencers though our Advisory Board system.
Client services and client success
After a client contracts to purchase our solutions, we, either directly or working with partners, provide implementation services to assist the client in the deployment of those solutions. We utilize best practices developed over our history in implementing our solutions for each client, including providing templates and industry-relevant templates to accelerate adoption and delivering a purpose-built configuration that best suits a clients specific needs. Implementation engagements typically range in duration from three to nine months, depending on scope.
We support our clients with access to engineers, other technical support personnel, release management, and managed services. To help our clients achieve success with the Intapp Platform, we offer in-depth change management workshops, classroom and virtual end user and administrator training, consultative adoption services, and best practices. We view our clients success as a cornerstone of our business model and philosophy, and are organized to measure, monitor, and deliver high levels of client satisfaction.
We have also developed relationships with a number of implementation partners. These partners provide implementation services and other professional services related to our platform. We anticipate that we will continue to develop partnerships with a select number of third parties to help grow our business and deliver our solutions. In those markets where we have established such partnerships, we consider these important to our and our clients success.
Research and development
Our ability to compete depends in large part on our continuous commitment to research and development and our ability to rapidly introduce new technologies, features, and functionality. Our research and development team is responsible for the design, architecture, testing, and quality of our solutions. We focus our efforts on enhancing our existing solutions and developing new solutions for our clients.
Our research and development teams are primarily located in Palo Alto, California, Charlotte, North Carolina, Jersey City, New Jersey, Manchester, England, Kyiv, Ukraine, Ivanovo, Russia and Minsk, Belarus. Research and development expenses were $28.8 million and $42.1 million for fiscal years 2019 and 2020, respectively, and we intend to increase our investments in research and development in the future to support the developments of new technologies, features, and functions for our solutions.
Culture and employees
We have built our culture around the success of our clients, our partners, our employees, and our investors. We have carefully recruited, selected, and developed employees who are highly
108
focused on delivering success for our clients in the professional and financial services industry. This strategy is a crucial element of our hiring and evaluation processes throughout all departments. We believe this approach produces high levels of both client success and employee engagement.
We believe we provide employees a unique opportunity to develop and sell world-class solutions within a specific industry. The Intapp Platform offers our developers an opportunity to build important solutions that can become the standard in the professional and financial services industry, while enabling sales personnel to sell a growing portfolio of solutions to a focused, deep set of professional and financial services firms. We believe that this unique opportunity will allow us to continue to attract top talent for our product development and sales efforts.
As of June 30, 2020, we had 602 full-time employees.
Our employees are primarily located in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. The Company also utilizes independent contractors, brokers, and consultants, including a substantial number of developers working in research and development. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or are a party to a collective bargaining agreement and we consider our relationship with our employees to be strong.
Competition
The professional and financial services industry is highly competitive and subject to change from the introduction of new products and technologies and other activities of industry participants. We do not believe that any of our competitors currently offer a full suite of solutions that effectively competes with the full functionality of the Intapp Platform for this industry. We believe our success in growing our business will depend on our ability to demonstrate to our clients in the professional and financial services industry that our solutions provide superior business outcomes to other competitive solutions, including, but not limited to legacy applications, manual processes, horizontal platforms, and point solutions.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in our industry include the following:
| Deep domain experience and a long-term, trusted relationship; |
| Product innovation, quality, functionality and design; |
| Solutions that are purpose built for this industry; |
| Platform solutions that are complete end-to-end solutions across the relationship lifecycle; |
| Solutions that enable connectedness of key data and processes through the use of AI; |
| A track record of, delivering value consistently over time; |
| A strong commitment to security and privacy; and |
| Brand reputation and name recognition in the industry. |
We believe we compete favorably across these factors. However, some of our competitors and potential competitors are large and have greater brand name recognition, longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and established marketing relationships, access to larger client bases and significantly greater resources for the development of their offerings. Moreover, because our market is highly competitive and subject to rapid change, it is possible that new entrants, especially those with substantial resources, more efficient operating models, more rapid technology and content development cycles, or lower marketing costs, could introduce new solutions that disrupt our market and better address the needs of our clients and potential clients.
109
Further, certain of our competitors may challenge our intellectual property, may develop additional competing or superior technologies and processes and compete more aggressively and sustain that competition over a longer period of time than we could. Our solutions may be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by technological advances or entirely different approaches developed by one or more of our competitors. As more companies develop new intellectual property in our market, there is the possibility of a competitor acquiring patents or other rights that may limit our ability to update our technologies and products which may impact demand for our products. See the section titled Risk FactorsAssertions by third parties of infringement or other violation by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and substantially harm our business and results of operations for additional information.
Intellectual property
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, and confidentiality and invention assignment agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. As of December 31, 2020, we had rights to 3 issued United States patents, 2 pending United States patent applications and 9 pending foreign patent applications. Our most material foreign patents issued and patent applications pending are in Europe. Our patents cover various aspects of the Intapp Platform. The term of individual patents depends on the legal term for patents in the countries in which they are granted. In most countries, including the United States, the patent term is generally 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date of a nonprovisional patent application in the applicable country. Our patents expire between 2026 and 2030. Once a patent expires, the protection ends, and the invention covered by the patent enters the public domain; that is, anyone can commercially exploit the invention without infringing the patent.
There is no active patent litigation involving any of our patents and we have not received any notices claiming that our activities infringe a third-partys patent.
We cannot guarantee that patents will be issued from any of our pending applications or that, if patents are issued, they will be of sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful protection for our technology. Notwithstanding the scope of the patent protection available to us, a competitor could develop treatment methods or devices that are not covered by our patents. Furthermore, numerous United States and foreign-issued patents and patent applications owned by third parties exist in the fields in which we are developing solutions. Because patent applications can take many years to publish, there may be applications unknown to us, which may later result in issued patents that our existing or future solutions or technologies may be alleged to infringe.
In the future, we may need to engage in litigation to enforce patents issued or licensed to us, to protect our trade secrets or know-how, to defend against claims of infringement of the rights of others or to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation could be costly and could divert our attention from other functions and responsibilities. Furthermore, even if our patents are found to be valid and infringed, a court may refuse to grant injunctive relief against the infringer and instead grant us monetary damages or ongoing royalties. Such monetary compensation may be insufficient to adequately offset the damage to our business caused by the infringers competition in the market. Adverse determinations in litigation could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties or could prevent us from manufacturing, selling or using the solution accused of infringement, any of which could severely harm our business. See Risk Factors Intellectual Property for additional
110
information regarding these and other risks related to our intellectual property portfolio and their potential effect on us.
We also rely upon trademarks to build and maintain the integrity of our brand. As of December 31, 2020, we had 26 registered trademark filings and 13 pending trademark applications in multiple jurisdictions.
We also rely, in part, upon trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation, and licensing arrangements, to develop and maintain our competitive position. We protect our proprietary rights through a variety of methods, including confidentiality and assignment agreements with suppliers, employees, consultants, and others who may have access to our proprietary information.
Facilities
We have eight offices globally, all in leased premises. Our corporate headquarters is located in Palo Alto, California, and consists of approximately 26,000 square feet of space pursuant to a lease that expires in August 2023. In addition to our head office, we also maintain seven offices in multiple locations in the United States and internationally in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ukraine. Our lease renewal dates range from 2021 to 2030. We intend to procure additional space in the future as we continue to add employees and expand geographically. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate our operations.
Regulations
We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States and abroad that involve matters central to our business. Many of these laws and regulations are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. These may involve privacy, data protection, content, intellectual property, data security, and data retention and deletion. In particular, we are subject to federal, state, and foreign laws regarding data protection and privacy. Foreign data protection, privacy, content, and other laws and regulations can impose different obligations or be more restrictive than those in the United States. United States federal and state and foreign laws and regulations, which in some cases can be enforced by private parties in addition to government entities, are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. As a result, the application, interpretation, and enforcement of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and evolving industry in which we operate, and may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from country to country and inconsistently with our current policies and practices. For example, the European Unions GDPR, which became effective on May 25, 2018, has resulted and will continue to result in significantly greater compliance burdens and costs for companies with users and operations in the European Union. Under GDPR, fines of up to 20 million Euros or up to 4% of the annual global revenues of the infringer, whichever is greater, can be imposed for violations. Further, Brexit has created uncertainty with regard to the regulation of data protection in the United Kingdom. In particular, it is unclear whether the United Kingdom will enact data protection laws or regulations designed to be consistent with GDPR and how data transfers to and from the United Kingdom will be regulated. In addition, California recently adopted the CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, and limits how we may collect and use certain data. The impact of this law on us and others in our industry is and will remain unclear until additional regulations are
111
issued. The effects of the CCPA are potentially far-reaching, however, and may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and incur substantial compliance-related costs and expenses. Non-compliance with these laws could result in penalties or significant legal liability. We have invested, and continue to invest, human and technology resources into our GDPR compliance efforts and our data privacy compliance efforts generally.
Legal proceedings
From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or investigations, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business and financial condition and divert the attention of our management from the operation of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. We may from time to time receive letters from third parties alleging patent infringement, violation of employment practices, or trademark infringement, and we may in the future participate in litigation to defend ourselves. We cannot predict the results of any such disputes, and regardless of the potential outcomes, the existence thereof may have an adverse material impact on us due to diversion of management time and attention as well as the financial costs related to resolving such disputes.

Overview of our executive compensation program
Elements of compensation
Base salary
Base salaries are intended to provide a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain an effective management team, when considered in combination with the other components of our executive compensation program. The relative levels of base salary for our NEOs are designed to reflect each NEOs scope of responsibility and accountability. Each NEOs base salary for the fiscal year 2020 is listed in the Summary Compensation Table above.
Annual cash bonus
We provide our senior leadership team with short-term incentive compensation through an annual cash bonus program. Annual bonus compensation holds executives accountable, rewards the executives based on actual business results and helps sustain a pay for performance culture.
For the fiscal year 2020, our Board established the performance objectives for our CEO that were comprised of both corporate and individual objectives, and our CEO established performance objectives for each of our executives, including our other NEOs, based on our business and performance plan as approved by our Board at the beginning of the fiscal year. Upon assessment at the end of the fiscal year 2020, our Board determined that our CEO had achieved his individual performance objectives for fiscal year 2020, and our CEO determined that each of Messrs. Robertson and Jampol had achieved their individual performance objectives for fiscal year 2020, such that they earned 100% of their annual cash bonus target. The annual cash bonus targets for Messrs. Hall and Robertson are 50% of their respective annual base salaries, with a maximum annual cash bonus, in each case, of 100% of their respective annual base salaries, and for Mr. Jampol an annual target bonus of 30% of his annual base salary, with a maximum annual cash bonus of 60% of his annual base salary.
As part of our broad-based efforts to reduce costs and focus on short-term cash management during the period of uncertainty resulting from the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, our NEOs discussed and agreed to a 20% reduction to the annual cash bonus payout, resulting in each of Messrs. Hall, Robertson and Jampol receiving an annual cash bonus payment of 80% of their annual cash bonus target instead of 100% at target.
Please see the Nonequity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table above for the amounts of the annual cash bonuses paid to each NEO with respect to fiscal year 2020. For information regarding the bonus target amounts applicable to our NEOs, see the section entitled Employment Agreements with our NEOs below.
Equity awards during fiscal year 2020
We grant equity awards in the form of stock options to our employees, including our NEOs, as the long-term incentive component of our compensation program. Our stock options allow our employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. In the past, our board of directors has determined the fair market value of our common stock based on inputs including valuation reports prepared by third-party valuation firms. Our stock options granted to newly hired employees generally vest as to 25% of the total number of shares subject to the option on the
120
first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and in equal monthly installments thereafter for 36 months. None of our NEOs were granted any stock options during the fiscal year 2020.
Employment agreements with our NEOs
Each of our NEOs is a party to a written employment arrangement. The material terms of each of those arrangements are summarized below. The summaries are not complete description of all provisions of the employment arrangements and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the written employment arrangements, each filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. For a description of the compensation actually paid to the NEOs for fiscal year 2020, please refer to the Summary Compensation Table above.
Employment agreement with John Hall
Mr. Hall and Integration Appliance, Inc. entered into an employment agreement on December 21, 2012, amended as of June 27, 2018 (Mr. Halls employment agreement, as amended, the Hall Employment Agreement). The Hall Employment Agreement provides Mr. Hall an annual base salary, an annual target bonus opportunity of 50% of his annual base salary and maximum bonus opportunity of 100% of his annual base salary based upon achievement of financial-based and/or strategy-based goals, employee benefit plan eligibility (including for long-term incentive plans and deferred compensation plans), paid personal leave of up to six weeks per year and an annual stipend of $200,000 in lieu of reimbursement for the ordinary business expenses Mr. Hall incurs.
Under the Hall Employment Agreement, in the event that Mr. Halls employment is terminated by us without cause (as defined in the Hall Employment Agreement) or by non-renewal of the employment term or by Mr. Hall for good reason (as defined in the Hall Employment Agreement), Mr. Hall would be entitled to (1) severance equal to 1.5 times his base salary at termination, payable in installments over the 18-month period following termination, (2) vesting of all stock options, restricted stock awards or other equity compensation awards then held by Mr. Hall that would have vested over the 12-month period following termination had Mr. Hall remained employed, and (3) payments in respect of continuing health care coverage for up to six months following termination. However, in the event that Mr. Halls employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Hall for good reason upon consummation of, or within 30 days preceding a sale event (as defined in our 2012 Plan described below), then the cash payments due to him would be made in a lump sum payment within 60 days of the closing of the sale event rather than in installments over the 18-month period. In addition, upon the consummation of a sale event (whether or not Mr. Halls employment is terminated), or upon the termination of Mr. Halls employment by us without cause or by Mr. Hall for good reason within 30 days preceding a sale event, all then-unvested stock options, restricted stock awards or other equity compensation awards then held by Mr. Hall would vest in full.

The Robertson Offer Letter further provides that, in the event of a change in control (as the term sale event is defined in our 2012 Plan), Mr. Robertson would vest into a number of shares subject to his then held options equal to the lesser of the number of shares that otherwise would have vested in the 24 months following the change in control or all unvested shares. In the event that Mr. Robertson is terminated without cause (as defined in the Robertson Offer Letter) or Mr. Robertson resigns for good reason (meaning a material reduction in Mr. Robertsons duties or responsibilities that is inconsistent with his position, except for a change of title alone) on or within 12 months following a change in control, then Mr. Robertson would vest into all of the shares subject to the options held by him as of his termination. In addition, if Mr. Robertson was terminated without cause or if Mr. Robertson resigned for good reason (whether or not in connection with a change in control), Mr. Robertson would be entitled to receive (1) severance equal to 12-months of his base salary at termination, and (2) payments in respect of continuing health care coverage for 12 months following termination.

However, in the event that Mr. Jampols employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Jampol for good reason upon consummation of, or within 30 days preceding a sale event (as defined in our 2012 Plan described below), then the cash payments due to him would be made in a lump sum
122
payment within 60 days of the closing of the sale event rather than in installments over the 12-month period. In addition, upon the consummation of a sale event (whether or not Mr. Jampols employment is terminated), or upon the termination of Mr. Jampols employment by us without cause or by Mr. Jampol for good reason within 30 days preceding a sale event, all stock options, restricted stock awards or other equity compensation awards then held by Mr. Jampol would vest in full.

LegalApp Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan
Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to adopt the LegalApp Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan), which will become effective as of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The purpose of the 2021 Plan will be to provide additional incentives to selected officers, employees, non-employee directors, independent contractors and consultants, to strengthen their commitment, motivate them to faithfully and diligently perform their responsibilities and to attract and retain competent and dedicated persons who are essential to the success of our business and whose efforts will impact our long-term growth and profitability. The material terms of the 2021 Plan will be summarized below once established.
LegalApp Holdings, Inc. 2012 Stock Option and Grant Plan
Our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved our 2012 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the 2012 Plan) in December 21, 2012. No further grants will be made under the 2012 Plan following this offering. However, options outstanding under the 2012 Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the 2012 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2012 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Share reserve. Under the 2012 Plan, 1,122,663 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance, subject to adjustment for stock splits and other similar changes in capitalization. This original share reserve was subsequently increased by our stockholders on April 24, 2013, July 30, 2013, December 16, 2015, February 22, 2016, November 1, 2017, November 14, 2018, July 31, 2019, February 5, 2020 and November 20, 2020, resulting in an aggregate total of shares of our common stock being reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan. As of the date of this filing, our employees, directors and consultants hold outstanding stock options granted under the 2012 Plan for the purchase of up to shares of our common stock, with of those options vested as of such date. No other types of awards have been granted under the plan.
Administration. The 2012 Plan is administered by our board of directors, or a committee of our board of directors comprised of not less than two directors. Subject to the provisions of the 2012 Plan, the administrator has the complete discretion to make all decisions relating to the 2012 Plan and outstanding awards, including but not limited to, selecting individuals for the granting
124
of awards, determining the time or times of grant and the number of shares to be covered by each award, accelerating the exercisability or vesting of any or all portion of any award, imposing limitations on awards like transfer limitations and repurchase rights, extending the exercise period of option grants within the original expiration date, adopting or altering such rules and guidelines regarding the administration of the 2012 Plan and deciding disputes arising in connection with the 2012 Plan. All decisions and interpretations of the administrator will be binding. The administrator may also delegate in writing to our CEO all or part of the administrators authority and duties with respect to granting of awards at fair market value, provided that the delegation includes a limitation as to the amount of awards that may be granted during any period of delegation and contains guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price of any option, the conversion ratio or price of other awards and the vesting criteria.
Eligibility. Employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the company and its subsidiaries who are responsible for, or contribute to, the management, growth or profitability of the company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in our 2012 Plan, as selected by the administrator in its sole discretion.
Types of awards. Our 2012 Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonstatutory stock options to purchase shares of our common stock and restricted and unrestricted shares of our common stock.
Options. The exercise price for options granted under the 2012 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the option grant date, or 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the option grant date in the case of a grant of incentive stock option to an employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the company (or any parent or subsidiaries of the company). The options may be exercised in whole or in part, and the optionees may pay the exercise price (1) in cash, (2) through delivery of a promissory note if our board of directors has expressly authorized the loan of funds to the optionee for purposes of option exercise, or (3) with the consent of the administrator, through the delivery of (A) shares of our common stock that have been purchased by the optionee on open market or beneficially owned by the optionee for at least six months and are not subject to any restrictions at the time of exercise or (B) a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the company to pay the purchase price.
Options vest as determined by the administrator at the time of the grant. In general, we grant options that vest as to 25% of the total number of shares subject to the option on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and in equal monthly installments thereafter for 36 months. Options expire at the time determined by the administrator, but in no event more than ten years after they are granted, and no more than five years after they are granted in the case of a grant of incentive stock option to an employee who owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the company (or any parent or subsidiaries of the company). The options generally expire earlier if the participants service terminates earlier.
Restricted and unrestricted shares. Restricted shares may be awarded under the 2012 Plan, which purchase price may be payable in cash or other form of consideration acceptable to the administrator. In general, restricted shares will be subject to restrictions and conditions as the
125
administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuous employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each award of restricted share will be determined by the administrator. In addition, the administrator may grant or sell unrestricted shares to any grantee for past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due to such individual.
Changes in capitalization. In the event that there is a specified type of change in our capital structure due to a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change, the administrator will make an equitable or proportionate adjustment in (1) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan, (2) the number of options that can be granted to any one individual grantee, (3) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding awards under the 2012 Plan, (4) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding restricted stock award, and (5) the exercise price and/or exchange price for each share subject to any then outstanding option under the 2012 Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price as to which such options remain exercisable. The adjustment by the administrator will be final, binding and conclusive, and no fractional shares of our common stock will be issued under the 2012 Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.
Mergers and other sale events. In the event that there is, and subject to the consummation of, a sale event, the 2012 Plan and all outstanding options under the 2012 Plan will terminate upon the effective time of such sale event unless the proposed transaction contemplates an assumption or continuation of the options by the successor entity, or a substitution of such options with new options of the successor entity (or its parent or subsidiary), with appropriate adjustments. Upon termination of the 2012 Plan and all outstanding options under the 2012 Plan, each grantee will be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the sale event as determined by the administrator, to exercise all outstanding options held by such grantee that are then exercisable or will become exercisable as of the effective time of the sale event. The treatments of restricted stock awards in connection with a sale event are specified in the relevant individual award agreement.
For this purpose, a sale event includes:
| our dissolution or liquidation; |
| the sale of all or substantially all of our assets on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity; |
| a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which the outstanding shares of our common stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the successor entity and the holders of our outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of such transaction; |
| the sale of all or a majority of our outstanding capital stock to an unrelated person or entity; or |
| any other transaction in which, the owners of our outstanding voting power prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction. |
126
Amendments or termination. Our board of directors may, at any time, amend or discontinue the 2012 Plan and the administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding award or provide substitute awards at the same or reduced exercise or purchase price or with no exercise or purchase price in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of the 2012 Plan, provided that no such action will adversely affect rights under any outstanding award without the holders consent. If our board of directors amends the plan, it does not need stockholder approval of the amendment unless applicable law so requires.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all holders of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy. Except as otherwise provided by law, amendments to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation must be approved by a majority or, in some cases, a super-majority of the voting power of all shares of common stock.
Holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding convertible preferred stock.
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of convertible preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution.

Shares eligible for future sale
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that sales of shares or availability of any shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock (including shares issued on the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities, if any) or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to raise additional capital through a future sale of securities.
Upon the completion of this offering, we will have shares of common stock issued and outstanding (or shares if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full) based on the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of , 2020 and assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of shares of our common stock immediately prior to the closing of this offering. All of the shares of our common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless such shares are purchased by affiliates as that term is defined in Rule 144. Upon the completion of this offering, approximately % of our outstanding common stock (or approximately % if the underwriters exercise the option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full) will be held by Temasek and approximately % of our outstanding common stock (or approximately % if the underwriters exercise the option to purchase additional shares of common stock in full) will be held by Great Hill. These shares and all remaining shares that will be outstanding upon completion of this offering (other than the shares of common stock sold in this offering) will be restricted securities as that phrase is defined in Rule 144. Subject to certain contractual restrictions, including the lock-up agreements described below, holders of restricted shares will be entitled to sell those shares in the public market if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption under the Securities Act. Subject to the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rules 144 and 701, additional shares will be available for sale as set forth below.
Lock-up agreements
See Underwriting for a description of the lock-up agreements applicable to our shares.
Rule 144

A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.
A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does
133

Material United States federal income tax considerations to non-U.S. holders
The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock generally applicable to non-U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, all which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion applies only to holders who hold our common stock as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment) and who purchased our common stock in this offering.
This discussion is a summary only. It does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances, does not discuss the potential application of the Medicare surtax on net investment income and the alternative minimum tax and does not deal with state or local taxes, U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws or any non-U.S. tax consequences. In addition, this discussion does not address all tax considerations that may be applicable to a holders particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:
| financial institutions or financial services entities; |
| broker-dealers; |
| governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof; |
| controlled foreign corporations, |
| passive foreign investment companies, |
| corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, |
| certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States; |
| persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting stock; |
| dealers or traders subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to our common stock; |
| persons holding our common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, integrated or conversion transactions, a constructive sale or a straddle; |
| partnerships or other pass-through entities or arrangements for U.S. federal income tax purposes and any beneficial owners of such entities or arrangements; and |
| tax-exempt entities. |
If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner, member or other beneficial owner in such partnership or other pass-through entity will generally depend upon the status of the partner, member or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership or other pass-through entity and certain determinations made at the
135
partner, member or other beneficial owner level. If you are a partner, member or other beneficial owner of a partnership or other pass-through entity holding our common stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common stock.
For purposes of this summary, a non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial holder of our common stock that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership or other pass-through entity or arrangement for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of our common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| an individual who is a U.S. citizen or resident of the United States; |
| a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the law of, the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof; |
| an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or |
| a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion. You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.
THIS DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. WE URGE PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ACQUIRING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS.
Taxation of distributions
In general, any distributions we make to a non-U.S. Holder of our common stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holders conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the non-U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in our common stock and, to the extent such distribution
136
exceeds the non-U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of our common stock, which will be treated as described under Non-U.S. Holders Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock below. In addition, if we determine that we are classified as a United States real property holding corporation (see Non-U.S. HoldersGain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock below), we will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits.
Dividends we pay to a non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holders conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or if a tax treaty applies are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders. If the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).
Gain on sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock
A non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:
| the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if an applicable tax treaty so requires, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder); |
| the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or |
| we are or have been a United States real property holding corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the non-U.S. Holder held our common stock, and, if our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, the non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such non-U.S. Holders holding period for our common stock. There can be no assurance that our common stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose. |
Gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate). Gain described in the second bullet point above will generally be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding possible eligibility for benefits under income tax treaties.
If the third bullet point above applies to a non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of our common stock from
137
such holder may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We believe that we are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming, a United States real property holding corporation. If we are or have been a United States real property holding corporation, non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules.
Information reporting and backup withholding
Generally, distributions to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of our common stock and the amount of any tax withheld from such payments must be reported annually to the IRS and to the Non-U.S. Holder. Copies of these information returns may be made available by the IRS to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Under certain circumstances, backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax may apply to distributions in respect of our common stock to a Non-U.S. Holder if the Non-U.S. Holder fails to certify under penalties of perjury that it is not a United States person.
Payments of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of our common stock to or through a foreign office of a U.S. broker or of a foreign broker with certain specified U.S. connections will be subject to information reporting requirements, though generally not backup withholding, unless (i) the broker has evidence in its records that the payee is not a United States person, and the broker has no actual knowledge or reason to know to the contrary or (ii) the payee otherwise establishes an exemption. Payments of the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of our common stock to or through the U.S. office of a broker will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the payee certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a United States person (and the payor has no actual knowledge or reason to know to the contrary) or otherwise establishes an exemption.
Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules will generally be allowed as a refund or credit against a Non-U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability (if any); provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors about the filing of a U.S. federal income tax return in order to obtain a refund.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance act
Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act or FATCA) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of our common stock that is held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (1) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (2) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our common stock is held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of our common stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless
138
such entity either (1) certifies to us or the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any substantial United States owners or (2) provides certain information regarding the entitys substantial United States owners, which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our common stock.

We are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus through a number of underwriters. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC are acting as joint book-running managers of the offering and as representatives of the underwriters. We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares of common stock offered by us if they purchase any shares. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be terminated.
The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $ per share. Any such dealers may resell shares to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $ per share from the initial public offering price. After the initial offering of the shares to the public, if all of the shares of common stock are not sold at the initial public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms. Sales of any shares made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.
The underwriters have an option to buy up to additional shares of common stock from us to cover sales of shares by the underwriters which exceed the number of shares specified in the table above. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus to exercise this option to purchase additional shares. If any shares are purchased with this option to purchase additional shares, the underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.
The underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the underwriters to us per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $ per share. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $ . We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain of their expenses in an amount up to $ .
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the representatives to underwriters and selling group members that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.
We and our officers, directors, and substantially all of stockholders have agreed or will agree with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to dispose of or hedge any of our or their common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing for a period of days after the date of this prospectus.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., in their sole discretion, may release the securities subject to any of the lock-up agreements with the underwriters described above, in whole or in part at any time.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We intend to have our common stock approved for listing on Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol .
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be covered shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be naked shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the
141
open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position.
The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.
These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the Nasdaq Global Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price will be determined by negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters. In determining the initial public offering price, we and the representatives of the underwriters expect to consider a number of factors including:
| the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representatives; |
| our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete; |
| an assessment of our management; |
| our prospects for future earnings; |
| the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering; |
| the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and |
| other factors deemed relevant by the underwriters and us. |
Neither we nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our common shares, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.
Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have provided in the past to us and our affiliates and may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, from time to time, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of clients, and hold on behalf of themselves or their clients, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of LegalApp Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LegalApp Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders deficit and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for revenue in fiscal year 2021 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all subsequent amendments (collectively, ASC 606). The Company adopted ASC 606 using the full retrospective approach.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
F-2
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
San Jose, California
January 29, 2021, except for the effects of the adoption of ASC 606 described in Note 2, as to which the date is .
We have served as the Companys auditor since 2018.

LegalApp Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to consolidated financial statements
1. Description of business
LegalApp Holdings, Inc. (LegalApp) was incorporated in Delaware on November 27, 2012 to facilitate the acquisition of Integration Appliance, Inc. (IntApp), which became a wholly owned subsidiary of LegalApp Holdings, Inc. on December 21, 2012. LegalApp has no significant assets or operations other than the ownership of IntApp.
IntApp is a leading provider of industry-specific, cloud-based software solutions for the professional and financial services industry globally. The Company empowers private capital, investment banking, legal, accounting, and consulting firms with the technology they need to meet rapidly changing client, investor, and regulatory requirements, deliver the right insights to the right professionals, replace legacy systems, and operate more competitively. The Company serves clients primarily in the United States, United Kingdom and Australian markets. References to the Company, us, we, or our in these consolidated financial statements refer to the consolidated operations of LegalApp and its consolidated subsidiaries.
2. Summary of accounting policies
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, after eliminating all inter-company transactions and balances.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Those estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition including determination of the standalone selling price (SSP) of the deliverables included in multiple deliverable revenue arrangements; the depreciable lives of long-lived assets including intangible assets; the expected useful life of deferred commissions; the fair value of common stock used in stock-based compensation; goodwill and long-lived assets impairment assessment; valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; uncertain tax positions; and loss contingencies. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors including those resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates, and those differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Unaudited Pro Forma Information
Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet information as of June 30, 2020 assumes the automatic conversion of all 19,034,437 outstanding shares of the Companys convertible preferred stock as of that date into an equivalent number of shares of common stock upon the consummation of a qualifying initial public offering (IPO). The shares of common stock issuable and the proceeds expected to be received upon the closing of a qualifying IPO are excluded from such pro forma financial information.
F-10
Unaudited Pro Forma Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
In contemplation of the IPO, the Company has presented the unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, which has been computed to give effect to the conversion of the convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock.
Segment information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Companys Chief Executive Officer is the Companys CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment.
The Companys property and equipment are primarily located in the United States. Information about geographic revenues are included in Note 3.
Revenue recognition
The Companys revenues are derived from contracts with our clients. The majority of the Companys revenues are derived from the sale of our software as a service (SaaS) solutions and subscriptions to our term software applications, including support services, as well as the provision of professional services for the implementation of our solutions. The Company accounts for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which the Company adopted on July 1, 2020 using the full retrospective method of adoption. The Company adjusted historical periods to include results as if the new revenue standard was applied to all of our client contracts as of the initial application date and the consolidated financial statements present revenues and contract costs in accordance with ASC 606 for all periods presented.
The core principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenues upon the transfer of control of services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or products. The Company applies the following framework to recognize revenues:
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with our clients
The Company considers the terms and conditions of written contracts and its customary business practices in identifying its contracts under ASC 606. The Company determines it has a contract with a client when the contract is approved, each partys rights regarding the services and products to be transferred can be identified, payment terms for the services and products can be identified, the client has the ability and intent to pay, and the contract has commercial substance. The Company evaluates whether two or more contracts entered within close proximity with one another should be combined and accounted for as a single contract. The Company also evaluates the clients ability and intent to pay, which is based on a variety of factors, including the clients historical payment experience or, in the case of a new client, credit and financial information pertaining to the client.
Identification of the performance obligation in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services or products that will be transferred to the client that are both:
i. | capable of being distinct, whereby the client can benefit from the service or product either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from the Company or third parties, and |
ii. | distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services or products is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. |
F-11
To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services or products, the Company applies judgment to determine whether promised services or products are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised services or products are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
The Company derives its revenues primarily from the following four sources, which represent the performance obligations of the Company:
i. | Sales of SaaS under subscription arrangements: revenue derived from subscriptions to our SaaS solutions; |
ii. | Sales of subscriptions to our licenses: software revenues derived from the sale of term licenses to clients; |
iii. | Support activities: support activities that consist of email and phone support, bug fixes, and rights to unspecified software updates and upgrades released on a when, and if, available basis during the support term; and |
iv. | Sales of professional services: services related to the implementation and configuration of the Companys SaaS offerings and software licenses. |
SaaS and subscription licenses are generally sold as annual or multi-year initial terms with automatic annual renewal provisions on expiration of the initial term. Support for subscription licenses follows the same contract periods as the initial or renewal term. Professional services related to implementation and configuration activities are typically time and materials contracts.
Determination of the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring services and products to the client. Variable consideration is estimated and included in the transaction price if, in the Companys judgment, it is probable that no significant future reversal of cumulative revenues under the contract will occur.
In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the Companys invoicing terms is to provide clients with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Companys products and services, not to receive financing from clients or to provide clients with financing.
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative SSP. The majority of the Companys contracts contain multiple performance obligations, such as when subscription licenses are sold with support and professional services. Some of the Companys performance obligations have observable inputs that are used to determine the SSP of those distinct performance obligations. Where SSP is not directly observable, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.
Recognition of revenues when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company recognizes revenues as control of the services or products is transferred to a client, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or products. The Company is principally responsible for the satisfaction of its distinct performance obligations, which are satisfied either at a point in time or over a period of time.
F-12
The Company records revenues net of applicable sales taxes collected. Sales taxes collected from clients are recorded as part of accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are remitted to state and local taxing jurisdictions based on the filing requirements of each jurisdiction.
Performance obligations satisfied at a point in time
Subscription licenses
The Company has concluded that its sale of term licenses to clients (subscription licenses) provides the client with the right to functional intellectual property (IP) and are distinct performance obligations from which the client can benefit on a stand-alone basis. The transaction price allocated to subscription license arrangements is recognized as revenues at a point in time when control is transferred to the client, which generally occurs at the time of delivery. Subscription license fees are generally payable in advance on an annual basis over the term of the license arrangement, which is typically noncancelable.
Performance obligations satisfied over a period of time
SaaS and support as well as professional services arrangements comprise the majority of distinct performance obligations that are satisfied over a period of time.
SaaS and support
The transaction price allocated to SaaS subscription arrangements is recognized as revenues over time throughout the term of the contract as the services are provided on a continuous basis, beginning after the SaaS environment is provisioned and made available to clients. The Companys SaaS subscriptions are generally one to three years in duration, with the majority being one year. Consideration from SaaS arrangements is typically billed in advance on an annual basis.
The Companys subscription license sales include noncancelable support which entitle clients to receive technical support and software updates, on a when and if available basis, during the term of the subscription license agreement. Technical support and software updates are considered distinct from the related subscription licenses but accounted for as a single stand ready performance obligation as they each constitute a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the client. The transaction price allocated to support is recognized as revenue over time on a straight-line basis over the term of the support contract which corresponds to the underlying subscription license agreement. Consideration for support services is typically billed in advance on an annual basis. In some instances, the client may purchase premium support services which are generally priced as a percentage of the associated subscription license.
Professional services
The Companys professional services revenues are primarily comprised of implementation, configuration and upgrade services. The Company has determined that professional services provided to clients represent distinct performance obligations. These services may be provided on a stand-alone basis or bundled with other performance obligations, including SaaS arrangements, subscription licenses, and support services. The transaction price allocated to these performance obligations is recognized as revenue over time as the services are performed. The majority of professional services engagements are billed to clients on a time and materials basis and are recognized as invoiced. In those limited instances where professional services arrangements are sold on a fixed price basis, revenues are recognized over time using an input measure of time incurred to date relative to total estimated time to be incurred at project completion. Professional services arrangements are generally invoiced monthly in arrears.
F-13
The Company records reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses associated with professional services contracts in both revenues and cost of revenues.
Contract modifications
Contracts may be modified to account for changes in contract scope or price. The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new rights or obligations or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations of either party. Contract modifications are accounted for prospectively when it results in the promise to deliver additional products and services that are distinct.
Balance sheet presentation
Contracts with our clients are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:
| Accounts receivable, net represents amounts billed to clients in accordance with contract terms for which payment has not yet been received. It is presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts as part of current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. |
| Unbilled receivables, net represents amounts that are unbilled due to agreed-upon contractual terms in which billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition. This generally occurs in multi-year subscription license arrangements where control of the software license is transferred at the inception of the contract, but the client is invoiced annually in advance over the term of the license. Unbilled receivables are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, if applicable, in the consolidated balance sheets with the long term portion included in other assets. Under ASC 606, these balances represent contract assets. |
| Contract costs consist principally of client acquisition costs (sales commissions). The Company classifies deferred commissions as current or non-current on our consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. |
| Deferred revenue, net represents amounts that have been invoiced to the client for which the Company has the right to invoice, but that have not been recognized as revenues because the related products or services have not been transferred to the client. Deferred revenue that will be realized within twelve months of the balance sheet date is classified as current. The remaining deferred revenue is presented as non-current. Under ASC 606, these balances represent contract liabilities. |
The Company may receive consideration from its clients in advance of performance on a portion of the contract and, on another portion of the contract, perform in advance of receiving consideration. Contract assets and liabilities related to rights and obligations in a contract are interdependent. Therefore, contract assets and liabilities are presented net at the contract level, as either a single contract asset or a single contract liability, in the consolidated balance sheets.
Contract costs
Contract costs consists of two components, client acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract. The Companys client acquisition costs consists primarily of commissions paid to its sales team. Commissions related to client acquisition are capitalized and amortized over the expected benefit period of four years. Commissions related to subscription licenses are expensed when control of the license is transferred to clients and commissions related to SaaS and support revenues are expensed on a straight-line basis over four years. We determine the expected useful life based on an estimated benefit period by evaluating our technology development life cycle, expected client relationship period and other factors. Amortization of deferred commissions is included in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
F-14
Costs to fulfill a contract, or fulfillment costs, are only capitalized if they relate directly to a contract with a client, the costs generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy performance obligations in the future, and the costs are expected to be recoverable. The Company has not capitalized any fulfillment costs as of June 30, 2019 and 2020.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs related to providing SaaS and professional services to the Companys clients, including personnel costs (salaries, bonuses and benefits, and stock-based compensation) and related expenses for client support and services personnel, as well as cloud infrastructure costs, third-party expenses, depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of capitalized software development costs and amortization associated with acquired intangible assets, and allocated overhead. The Company does not have any cost of revenues related to subscription licenses.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs comprise costs associated with the development of software products for sale. Research and development costs related to the development of software products for sale are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred thereafter are capitalized until the product is generally made available. The Company considers technological feasibility to be reached at approximately the same time a product is generally available to clients. The major components of research and development costs include salaries, bonuses and benefits, stock-based compensation, costs of third-party services, and allocations of various overhead and occupancy costs.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held as collateral under certain facility lease agreements and certain company credit cards.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on known collection risks and historical experience, and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from its clients failing to make required payments for subscriptions or services rendered. Sufficiency of the allowance is assessed based upon knowledge of credit-worthiness of our clients, review of historical receivable and reserves trends and other pertinent information. Actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from these estimates.

F-15
The movements in the allowance for doubtful accounts were not significant for any of the periods presented.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment, net are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Construction-in-progress primarily consists of leasehold improvements that have not yet been placed into service for their intended use. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation on property and equipment, excluding leasehold improvements, ranges from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or the lease term. When assets are sold, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and any gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses. Maintenance and repair costs that do not extend the useful life of the assets are expensed as incurred.
Capitalized software development costs
Costs related to software acquired, developed, or modified solely to meet the Companys internal requirements, with no substantive plans to market such software at the time of development, or costs related to development of our hosted SaaS products are capitalized. Costs incurred during the application development stage of the project are capitalized. The Company capitalized $1.9 million and $2.5 million of costs related to software developed for internal use during the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and amortized $112,000 and $573,000 during the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The net book value of capitalized software development costs was $1.7 million and $3.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and is included in property and equipment, net.
Deferred offering costs
Deferred offering costs, which primarily consist of direct incremental legal and accounting fees relating to the IPO, are capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be offset against IPO proceeds upon the consummation of the offering. In the event the offering is terminated, deferred offering costs will be expensed. No amounts were deferred as of June 30, 2019 and 2020.
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company has determined that it is comprised of one reporting unit for purposes of its annual impairment evaluation. As part of the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of its qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amounts, the quantitative impairment test will be required. There was no impairment of goodwill recorded for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020.
F-16
Intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of entities are estimated by the Company based on the fair value of assets received. Acquired intangible assets consist of client relationships, noncompete agreements, trademarks and trade names, patented core technology and backlog. Certain assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit with no calculated residual value, as follows:
Description | Period | |
Client relationships |
9 to 15 years | |
Noncompete agreements |
3 to 5 years | |
Trademarks and tradenames |
5 years to indefinite | |
Core technology |
3 to 5 years |
Impairment assessment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, which include property plant and equipment and finite long-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than what was originally estimated. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset group to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group over its remaining life. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the remaining carrying value is amortized over the new shorter useful life. No impairment charge was recorded during the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020.
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company uses best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Such estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. The Company continues to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions and record any adjustments to the preliminary estimates to goodwill provided that we are within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations. Expenses incurred in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company applies authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical, assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2Inputs are quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
F-17
The following tables set forth the Companys financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Based upon Level 2 inputs and the borrowing rates available to the Company for loans with similar terms and consideration of the Companys credit risk, the carrying value of the Companys term loan and revolving credit facility approximate their fair value.
Other financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment.
Stock-based compensation
Compensation expense related to stock option awards made to employees and directors are calculated based on the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant. The Company determines the grant date fair value of our awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the related stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis, over the period in which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the stock-based award, which is generally four years. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on awards ultimately expected to vest. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.
This valuation model for stock compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the expected term (weighted-average period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the Companys common stock and an assumed risk-free interest rate. No compensation cost is recorded for options or restricted stock awards that do not vest.
The Company uses historical experience and future expectations to determine the expected term and volatility is based on an average of the historical volatilities of the common stock of public companies with characteristics similar to those of the Company. The risk-free rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.
The Company has issued performance-based stock options that vest based upon continued service through the vesting term and achievement of certain new annual recurring revenues targets established by the Board of Directors for a predetermined period. The Company measures stock-based compensation expense for
F-18
performance-based stock options based on the estimated grant date fair value determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company recognizes compensation expense for such awards in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved.
Leases and deferred rent
The Company leases all of its office space. Leases are evaluated and classified as operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays and rent escalation provisions. For purposes of recognizing these lease incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, the Company uses the date of initial possession to begin amortization and records the difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent expense as deferred rent which is classified in accrued expenses. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the period of straight-line recognition.
Advertising expense
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was not significant for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020.
Foreign currency
The functional currency for all of our foreign subsidiaries is the US dollar, except Rekoop Ltd., which uses the U.K. pound. The Company translates the foreign functional currency financial statements to US dollars for those entities that do not have US dollars as their functional currency using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, the period average exchange rates for revenues and expenses, and the historical exchange rates for equity transactions. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive loss.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are recorded as foreign currency transaction loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is reported in the accompanying consolidated statement of stockholders deficit, consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. The Companys other comprehensive loss consists of changes in the cumulative effect of translation of financial statements of certain wholly owned foreign subsidiaries.
Concentrations of credit risk and significant clients
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash with high quality financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk for cash held in financial institutions in the event of a default to the extent that such amounts recorded on the balance sheet are in excess of amounts that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
No client individually accounted for 10% or more of the Companys revenues for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020. As of June 30, 2019, one client individually accounted for 29% of the Companys total accounts receivable and as of June 30, 2020, no client individually accounted for 10% or more of the Companys total accounts receivable.
F-19
Deferred financing costs
The Company presents debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The Company capitalizes costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments and amortizes these costs over the term of the debt agreement using the effective interest method.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. These differences are measured using the enacted statutory tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the net amount that it believes is more-likely-than-not to be realized. Management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.
The Company operates in various tax jurisdictions and is subject to audit by various tax authorities. The Company provides for tax contingencies whenever it is deemed probable that a tax asset has been impaired or a tax liability has been incurred for events such as tax claims or changes in tax laws. Tax contingencies are based upon their technical merits, relative tax law, and the specific facts and circumstances as of each reporting period. We establish liabilities or reduce assets for uncertain tax positions when we believe certain tax positions are not more likely than not of being sustained if challenged. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in material changes to the amounts recorded for such tax contingencies.
Restructuring
Costs associated with management-approved restructuring activities, including reductions in headcount, exiting a market or consolidation of facilities are recognized when they are incurred. We record a liability for employee termination benefits either when it is probable that an employee is entitled to them and the amount of the benefits can be reasonably estimated or when management has communicated the termination plan to employees and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Restructuring charges are separately identified and included within the consolidated statements of operations and are classified according to the nature of the costs within cost of revenues or operating expenses.
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders
The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per common share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Companys convertible preferred stock contractually entitles the holders of such shares to participate in dividends but does not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Companys losses.
F-20
The Companys basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it is (i) no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
The JOBS Act does not preclude an emerging growth company from early adopting new or revised accounting standards.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to revenue recognition, Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Topic 606 supersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, who are our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, among others. Topic 606 also provides guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining client contracts.
The Company adopted ASC 606 on July 1, 2020 using the full retrospective method of adoption, adjusting historical periods to include results as if the new revenue standard was applied to all client contracts as of the initial application date. The Company applied the following practical expedients on adoption provided by the new standard:
| For completed contracts that have variable consideration, the Company used the transaction price at the date the contract was completed rather than estimating variable consideration. |
| No disclosure of amounts of consideration allocated to the remaining performance obligations for all reporting periods presented before the date of the initial application. |
F-21
The consolidated financial statements are in accordance with ASC 606 for all periods presented. The adoption of the new standard primarily impacted the Companys accounting as follows:
| Upfront recognition of revenues for the Companys subscription licenses upon delivery of the license, as compared to over-time recognition under ASC 605. As a result, under ASC 606, the allocated transaction price under a subscription license that the Company reasonably expects to collect are recognized upon the transfer of control of the subscription license, which is generally when made available to a client. |
| Incremental costs to obtain a contract will be capitalized and amortized over on an expected period of benefit on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the client of the goods or services to which the asset relates. Most of the Companys commission expenses meet this definition. In contrast, under ASC 605, costs to obtain a contract were capitalized and amortized ratably over the estimated contract period. |

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The guidance requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. The guidance states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use assets related to its operating leases upon adoption of the standard. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and by updating accounting requirements around franchise taxes, goodwill recognized for tax purposes, the allocation of current and deferred tax expense among legal entities, among other minor changes. This new standard will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company also has a commitment towards its cloud hosting service provider in the amount of $6.8 million. This amount will be paid over the next two years at $3.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company often includes standard indemnification provisions in its commercial arrangements. Pursuant to these provisions, the Company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred in connection with its products, services, breach of representations or covenants, intellectual property infringement or other claims made against such parties.
It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular arrangement. The Company has never incurred material amounts under these provisions. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for the provisions as of June 30, 2020.
7. Debt
In September 2013, the Company obtained a revolving and term credit facility (as amended, the credit agreement) from a lender. The revolving credit facility, as amended, (the revolving credit facility) provides for a maximum of $5.0 million in available credit and the term loans, as amended, (the term loans) provide for borrowings of $65.0 million. The credit agreement allows for letters of credit not to exceed $0.1 million. Under the revolving credit facility, amounts drawn may be repaid and reborrowed at any time during the term of the agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the draws, together with any accrued and unpaid
F-30
interest shall be due and payable on the maturity date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the credit agreement. The Company may prepay the term loans at any time with an applicable prepayment premium. Any principal amount of the term loans that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. The outstanding principal amount of the term loans, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the maturity date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the agreement.
In August 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the above-mentioned credit agreement to increase the total borrowing capacity to $210.0 million, consisting of $200.0 million term loan and $10.0 million revolving line of credit.
In March 2019, the Company drew down $8.0 million from the revolving credit facility. The $8.0 million was fully repaid in May 2019.
Further, in May 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the above-mentioned credit agreement to increase the total borrowing capacity to $283.0 million, consisting of $273.0 million term loan and $10.0 million revolving line of credit. The maturity date of the credit agreement is August 2023.
The revolving credit facility and term loans bear a floating rate of interest, which the Company selects at the beginning of a period between (i) a LIBOR loan, for which the interest rate is calculated as the then-current LIBOR rate, with a floor of 1.00%, plus 7.25%, and (ii) an Index Loan, for which the interest rate is calculated as the then-current Wall Street Journal Prime rate, with a floor of 2.00%, plus 6.25%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company.
The credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, requires the Company to meet a defined financial ratio as well as maintain a specified minimum liquidity amount. The Company is in compliance with all of the covenants as of June 30, 2020.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had borrowed $273.0 million under the term loan and this amount was outstanding as of June 30, 2020. During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company borrowed and repaid amounts against the revolving credit facility, borrowing a total of $15.0 million over the course of the fiscal year, of which $5.0 million was repaid as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, $10.0 million remained outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
The Company incurred $4.6 million in financing costs, in connection with the two amendments mentioned above that are deferred and amortized over the term of the credit agreement in interest expense using the effective interest method. Amortization expense recognized on deferred financing costs totaled $782,000 and $1.2 million for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The components of debt are as follows (in thousands):

All terms remained the same as existing Series A convertible preferred stock.
In October 2019, the Company launched a tender offer to repurchase up to a maximum of 923,077 shares of common stock at a price of $12.00 per share from its current and former employees. Under this program employees owning shares or fully vested options as of the record date (September 9, 2019) of the tender offer were eligible to participate.

The holders of Series A and Series A-1 convertible preferred stock have various significant rights and preferences, as follows:
Dividend provisions
Holders of Series A and Series A-1 are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the per-annum rate of 8%, which are payable when and if declared by the Board of Directors. The holders of convertible preferred stock are also entitled to participate in dividends on common stock, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, based on the number of shares of common stock that would be held on an as-if-converted basis. No dividends on convertible preferred stock or common stock have been declared from inception to date. Series A cumulative unpaid and undeclared dividends are $24.9 million and $38.0 million as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Series A-1 cumulative unpaid and undeclared dividends are $966,000 as of June 30, 2020.
F-32
Liquidation preference
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or a Deemed Liquidation Event (defined as a merger or consolidation involving the Company effecting a change of control or a sale of substantially all the assets of the Company), the liquidation preference is the greater of (i) $7.445675 per share for Series A and $13.00 per share for Series A-1 plus cumulative unpaid and undeclared dividends and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of preferred stock been converted into common stock prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event, prior to any distributions to the common shareholders.
Upon completion of the above distribution, the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders will be distributed among the holders of common stock pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.
Conversion rights
Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the original issuance price for a share by the conversion price at the time in effect for such share. Each share of Series A and Series A-1 would convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Each share of convertible preferred stock automatically converts into the number of shares of common stock into which such shares are convertible at the then- effective conversion ratio upon the closing of a public offering in which the implied valuation is at least $1 billion and resulting in gross proceeds of at least $100 million received by the Company, or upon the consent of the holders of a majority of convertible preferred stock.
At any time after April 27, 2021, certain significant investors shall have the right to cause the Company to initiate a Sale Event, which shall mean a) a transaction or a series of related transactions where an investor who is not one of these significant shareholders acquires more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Company, or b) a transaction that is or could be treated as a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined above).
Voting rights
On any matter presented generally to the stockholders of the Company, the holder of each share of convertible preferred stock has voting rights equal to the number of shares of common stock into which it is convertible and votes together as one class with the common stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. With respect to the election of directors of the Company, the holders of the convertible preferred stock, voting together as a separate class, have the right to elect two directors and the holders of common stock, voting together as a separate class, have the right to elect three directors.
Redemption
The convertible preferred stock is not subject to redemption by the Company except in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined above). The Series A and Series A-1 convertible preferred stock do not have a defined redemption date; therefore, the redemption value is not being accreted and is only disclosed on the face of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Company classified the convertible preferred stock outside of stockholders deficit because, in the event of certain liquidation events that are not solely within its control, the shares would become redeemable at the option of the holders. The Company did not adjust the carrying values of the convertible preferred stock to the
F-33
current redemption value of such shares since a liquidation event was not probable at any of the balance sheet dates. Subsequent adjustments to increase or decrease the carrying values to the ultimate redemption value will be made only if and when it becomes probable that such a liquidation event will occur.
9. Stock option plan and stock-based compensation
In December 2012, the Companys Board of Directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the Companys 2012 Stock Option and Grant Plan. The Companys 2012 Plan allows for the grant of awards in the form of: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) non-qualified stock options; (iii) restricted stock awards; (iv) unrestricted stock awards, or any combination of the foregoing. Employees, non-employee directors, and consultants of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2012 Plan.
As of June 30, 2020, there were 11,227,806 options outstanding and 3,957,205 shares remained available for future grants under the 2012 Plan. Options granted under the option plan generally become exercisable ratably over a four-year period following the date of grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the option plan must be at least equal to 100% of the fair value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. The exercise price of incentive options granted to a stockholder holding at least 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock must be at least 110% of the fair value of the Companys common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors.

The Company adopted ASC 606 effective July 1, 2020 using the full retrospective method of adoption and recorded an increase of $8.8 million in deferred tax liabilities related to deferred revenue and an increase of $1.0 million in deferred tax liabilities related to deferred commissions as of June 30, 2019, which was fully offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance. The Company recorded a decrease of $0.7 million in deferred tax assets and an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $6.6 million related to deferred revenue and an increase
F-37
of $1.1 million in deferred tax liabilities related to deferred commissions as of June 30, 2020, which was fully offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company has federal, California and other state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $72.6 million, $18.1 million and $23.7 million, respectively, as adjusted to reflect the impact of the full retrospective adoption of Topic 606, which expire beginning in the year 2027. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has federal and state research credit carryforwards of approximately $4.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, expiring beginning in 2027 for federal. The state credits can be carried forward indefinitely.
Federal and state tax laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization, for tax purposes, of net operating loss and credit carryforwards in the event of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Companys ability to utilize these carryforwards may be limited as a result of such ownership change. Such a limitation could result in the expiration of carryforwards before they are utilized.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considered all available evidence both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, legislative developments, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
As a result of this analysis as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that it will not realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets due to continuing losses and therefore has recorded a valuation allowance of $7.6 million and $20.7 million, respectively, as adjusted to reflect the impact of the full retrospective adoption of Topic 606, to reduce the carrying value of its deferred tax assets.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company has accumulated undistributed earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries of approximately $0.3 million. The Company intends, however, to indefinitely reinvest these earnings and expect future U.S. cash generation to be sufficient to meet future U.S. cash needs. The Company has not recognized deferred taxes related to the federal and state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries indefinitely reinvested outside the United States.
It is the Companys policy to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019 and 2020, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases to its unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. There is no applicable lapse of the statute of limitations in the next 12 months.
The Company files income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the nation. The Company is not currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service or other similar state and local authorities. All tax years remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

None of the tax benefits included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The balance of $2.1 million and $2.8 million of tax benefits included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, would result in adjustments to other tax accounts, primarily deferred taxes.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted. The CARES Act was signed into law with the intention of providing economic relief to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, which had several changes to corporate income tax law. Significant changes were made to the net operating loss carryforward and carryback rules, business interest expense limitation rules under section 163(j) and other provisions. No provisions of the CARES Act are expected to have a material impact to the Companys income tax provision for the year ended June 30, 2020. The Company will keep monitoring the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and/or the CARES Act will have on the Company and reflect any tax effects in the corresponding periods.

13. Employee benefit plans
On December 22, 2012, the Company adopted a 401(k) plan (the 401(k) Plan) for all US employees who have met certain eligibility requirements. Under the 401(k) Plan, employees may elect to contribute up to 100% of their eligible compensation, subject to certain limitations. The Company may make discretionary and matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan each year for the preceding calendar year. The Company incurred matching expenses of $1.4 million and $2.2 million for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The Company also offers group pension plans for all U.K. and Australian employees who have met certain eligibility requirements. The Company makes matching contributions to the group pension plan each month. The Company incurred matching expenses of $464,000 and $698,000 for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
14. Subsequent events
In July 2020, the Company entered into a subscription and purchase agreement with certain existing shareholders to sell them shares of common stock at a price of $12.00 per share and a stock purchase agreement with the Chief Financial Officer to repurchase 200,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $12.00 per share. In anticipation of this transaction the Company also amended its certificate of incorporation to increase its authorized number of common shares to 65,000,000. In August 2020, the Company issued 2,432,545 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $29.2 million and repurchased common stock for an aggregate price of $2.4 million.
In November 2020, the Companys Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan by 2,555,000 shares of common stock. Since July 1, 2020, the Companys Board of Directors has also approved the grant of 4,431,429 additional stock options.
In January 2021, the Company entered into a director services agreement with Mr. Charles Moran, a director of the Company to engage him as a special advisor for a 12-month term for financial advice and advice in
F-40
connection with our initial public offering. As consideration for Mr. Morans services, the Company granted him an option to purchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock, one-half of which will vest upon the effectiveness of a registration statement or a change of control of the Company occurring prior to May 31, 2022, and one-half of which will vest on the first anniversary of that date. If a registration statement does not become effective or if there is not a change of control of the Company prior to May 31, 2022, the Companys Board will determine which portion (if any) of the options will vest.
Subsequent events have been evaluated through January 29, 2021, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the Registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification by us of members of our board of directors, members of committees of our board of directors and of our other committees, and our executive officers, and allows us to provide indemnification for our other officers and agents and employees, and those serving another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the Registrant, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.
We plan on entering into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers which are in addition to our indemnification obligations under our certificate of incorporation. These indemnification
II-1
agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers against expenses and liabilities that may arise by reason of their status as directors and officers, subject to certain exceptions. These indemnification agreements may also require us to advance any expenses incurred by our directors and officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain and maintain directors and officers insurance.
We maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (b) to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.
The proposed form of underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement will provide for indemnification of our directors and officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
In the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we have issued the following unregistered securities.

Ltd at a purchase price of $13.00 per share for gross proceeds of $12,000,000. The shares of common stock described above were issued in reliance on the exemption contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act on the basis that the transactions did not involve a public offering. No underwriters were involved in the sale. |
| In July 2020, the Company sold (i) 1,178,806 shares of common stock to Anderson Investments Pte. Ltd. for a purchase price of $12.00 per share and $14,145,672 in the aggregate, (ii) 1,041,667 shares of common stock to Great Hill Equity Partners IV, L.P. for a purchase price of $12.00 per share and $12,500,004 in the aggregate and (iii) 212,072 shares of common stock to John Hall for a purchase price of $12.00 per share and $2,544,864 in the aggregate. The shares of common stock described above were issued in reliance on the exemption contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act on the basis that the transactions did not involve a public offering.

Option and RSU Issuances
From through the filing date of this registration statement, we granted to our directors, officers, employees, consultants and other service providers options to purchase an aggregate of shares of our common stock under our equity compensation plans at exercise prices ranging from approximately $ to $ per share.
The option and RSU issuances described above were exempt from registration under the Securities Act under either (1) Rule 701 in that the transactions were under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701 or (2) Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The recipients of such securities were the Registrants employees,
II-2
consultants or directors and received the securities under the Registrants equity compensation plans. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions.
Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
a. Exhibits
The exhibit index attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference.
b. Financial Statement Schedules
No financial statement schedules are provided because the information called for is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this registration statement or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
1) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and |
2) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
