P(cid:22)R(cid:41) I

Appian Corporation (cid:7)together with its subsidiaries, (cid:84)Appian,(cid:85) (cid:84)the Company,(cid:85) (cid:84)we,(cid:85) or (cid:84)our(cid:85)(cid:8) provides a process 
automation platform that helps organizations unleash digital innovation and drive efficiency. Appian was founded on the 
optimistic premise that when given a platform to do so, people will embrace the opportunity to transform the way they work. 
We combine people, technologies, and data in end-to-end processes that maximize our customers(cid:6) resources and dramatically 
improve business results.

Our unified platform for process automation is a key differentiator in the marketplace. Today, we are one of the only  
enterprise software vendors that offer Workflow, Artificial Intelligence, or AI, (cid:44)obotic Process Automation, or (cid:44)PA, (cid:30)ata 
Fabric, and Process Mining in one fully integrated low-code platform. The result is a platform that makes it easier and faster to 
address complex use cases, particularly those that involve multiple departments within an organization and their external 
customers and vendors.

Organizations across all industries are digitally transforming by leveraging software to automate and optimize mission-
critical operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive competitive differentiation. (cid:34)istorically, organizations have relied 
on off-the-shelf packaged software and custom software solutions to operationalize and automate their businesses. Packaged 
software often fails to address unique use cases or to enable differentiation. It also requires organizations to adapt their business 
(cid:7)processes, systems of record, etc.(cid:8) to the software package, as opposed to adapting the software to their unique business needs. 
While traditional custom software solutions can be differentiated and tailored to meet strategic objectives, development requires 
a long, iterative, and cumbersome process, as well as costly integration that relies on scarce developer talent. Our platform 
greatly reduces the iterative development process, allowing for real-time optimization and ultimately shortening the time it 
takes to design, build, and deploy applications.

Our go-to-market strategy consists of both direct sales and sales through strategic partners. We sell our software almost 
exclusively through subscriptions. We intend to grow our revenue both by adding new customers and increasing the number of 
users or applications built on our platform at existing customers. Our strategic partners include industry-leading global system 
integrators, software vendors, and cloud and technology providers. We intend to continue to invest in our partner ecosystem, 
with a particular emphasis on expanding our strategic alliances and cloud-focused partnerships with global system integrators. 

(cid:41)(cid:57)e (cid:22)ppian Plat(cid:55)or(cid:62)

Our platform is the only fully integrated automation platform that enables organizations to transform the way they work, 
allowing them to design, automate, and optimize end-to-end processes and complex business operations. Global organizations 
use the Appian Platform to improve customer and employee experiences, achieve operational excellence, and simplify global 
risk management and compliance.

We believe effective processes are at the heart of highly successful organizations. Appian helps our customers master and 

scale up their unique business processes. Our platform allows organizations to deliver excellent customer experiences, 
maximize operational efficiency, and effortlessly ensure compliance with laws and regulations. We provide a unified platform 
with the capabilities our customers need to quickly achieve process excellence. These capabilities include a unified toolset for 
data, process automation, total experience, and process optimization that supports data-driven decision-making, enhanced 
customer experiences, and optimized processes for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

(cid:19)

(cid:9)utomation

Our platform provides a comprehensive range of native automation capabilities that enable our customers to streamline 
their operations. The Appian Process Modeler allows organizations to connect customers, employees, systems, AI, and software 
robots in end-to-end processes for complete control over business operations. Our business rules technology allows 
organizations to encode and enforce policies and routing decisions that reduce risk, while our native (cid:44)PA and AI enable 
organizations to automate process steps to deliver greater efficiency and increase customer and employee satisfaction. We sell 
our platform as a unified set of automation technologies that accelerates customer implementation times and return on 
investment.

(cid:12)ata (cid:14)abric

Our patented data fabric architecture delivers an innovative solution, enabling organizations to make informed decisions 
and intelligently route processes from a (cid:18)(cid:21)(cid:15)-degree view of business operations. The architecture comprises an extensive library 
of integration adapters to enterprise systems that integrate previously siloed data into a single, powerful data fabric. In addition, 
the secure infrastructure of our data fabric architecture provides a safe environment for storing and handling sensitive 
information, ensuring that confidential data remains protected. The unique and patented design of our data fabric architecture 
sets it apart from other solutions on the market, providing organizations with a comprehensive platform for making data-driven 
decisions and optimizing workflows through intelligent process routing and gaining a complete view of their business 
operations.

(cid:25)otal (cid:13)xperience

Our complete platform further extends our customers’ ability to engage external and internal users in a total experience that 

merges the customer journey with the employee experience. Our patented Self-Assembling Interface (cid:38)ayer, or SAI(cid:38), 
technology and utilization of low-code design allow our customers to quickly create dynamic and intuitive user experiences and 
deploy them across web and mobile devices. Our customers then use our platform to seamlessly engage users with their 
business processes across digital touchpoints, such as Internet of things, or IoT, devices, chatbots, or virtual personal assistants, 
no matter where they are located.

(cid:20)

(cid:21)ptimi(cid:54)ation

Our integrated process analytics and mining capabilities enable customers to measure and track their process performance 
accurately. With this functionality, our customers gain a deeper understanding of their business operations and pinpoint areas 
for improvement. Using this data, customers can drive continuous process improvement and optimize their processes for 
maximum efficiency and effectiveness. These features provide customers with the necessary insights to make informed 
decisions and optimize their operations to meet the evolving needs of their business.

(cid:28)o(cid:9)to(cid:9)(cid:34)arket (cid:40)trate(cid:56)y

Our go-to-market strategy consists of both direct sales and sales through strategic partners. We sell our software almost 
exclusively as subscriptions. We intend to grow our revenue by adding new customers, increasing the product usage of existing 
customers, and expanding product usage across new business processes and applications. Our strategic partners work with 
organizations undergoing digital transformation projects, and when they recognize an opportunity for our platform, they often 
introduce us to potential customers. 

Many of our customers begin by building a single application and grow to create dozens of applications on our platform, 
which implicitly increases their return on investment. Generally, the development of new applications results in the expansion 
of our product usage within an organization and a corresponding increase in our revenue due to subscription fees. Every 
additional application an organization creates on our platform increases the value of our platform for that organization because 
it further integrates people, processes, and data and facilitates knowledge sharing. Applications built on our platform may be 
used only on our platform and only while customers have active subscriptions, creating a substantial incentive for customers to 
avoid the difficulties and costs associated with moving to a different software platform. At the same time, our industry-leading 
Customer Success team helps customers to build and deploy applications on our platform to achieve their digital transformation 
goals more quickly.

(cid:13)xpand our customer base. We continue to grow our customer base in various industries, including financial services, 
government, life sciences, insurance, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, telecommunications, and transportation. We 
believe the market for our platform is still in its early stages, and we have a significant opportunity to add additional 
large enterprise and government customers globally. We offer the Appian Community Edition, a free trial platform 
with guided learning for our prospects and customers to quickly access the Appian Platform for up to (cid:16)(cid:20) users. Once 
prospects or customers decide to move forward from trial to transaction, they can transfer from the Appian Community 
Edition over to a production environment with a seamless export.

(cid:15)row revenue from key industry verticals. While our platform is industry-agnostic, we continue to make investments 
to enhance the expertise of our sales and marketing organization within our key industry verticals of financial services, 
government, insurance, and life sciences. In 2(cid:15)22, we generated over (cid:22)(cid:16)(cid:4) of our subscriptions revenue from 
customers in these verticals. We believe focusing on the digital transformation needs of organizations within these 
industry verticals helps drive adoption of our platform.

(cid:11)ontinue to innovate and enhance our platform(cid:10) We continue to invest in research and development to strengthen our 
platform and expand the number of features available to our customers. We offer multiple upgrades each year that 
allow our customers to benefit from ongoing innovation. As we continue to increase the functionality of our platform 
and further reduce the amount of developer skill required to quickly deliver value for our customers, we believe we 
have the potential to expand the use of our platform.

(cid:21)ffer industry solutions to accelerate customer usage(cid:10) Our platform enables our customers to build applications 
quickly. Appian and our partners offer pre-built solutions in certain of our key industries such as financial services, 
government acquisition, and insurance to give our customers an even faster start. Every Appian solution is built on our 
platform and designed to be standardized, upgradeable, and compatible with each other.

(cid:13)xpand our international footprint. Our platform is designed to be natively multilingual to facilitate collaboration and 
address challenges in multinational organizations. Appian Cloud meets the data residency requirements of our global 
customers by operating in (cid:16)(cid:20) countries across (cid:18)(cid:16) regions and (cid:24)(cid:24) availability zones. In 2(cid:15)22, approximately (cid:18)(cid:19)(cid:4) of our 
total revenue was generated from customers outside of the United States. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we were operating 
in (cid:16)(cid:20) countries, and we believe we have a significant opportunity to continue to grow our international footprint. We 
are investing in new geographies through direct and indirect sales channels, professional services and customer 
support, and implementation partners.

(cid:15)row our partner base. We have strategic partnerships including with (cid:37)PMG, Accenture, PwC, E(cid:51), Infosys, Wipro, 
and (cid:30)eloitte. These partners work with organizations undergoing digital transformation projects. When they recognize 
an opportunity for our platform, they introduce us to potential customers. Additionally, they leverage pre-built 
solutions using our platform, delivering software license revenue to Appian. We intend to further grow our base of 
partners to provide broader customer coverage and solution delivery capabilities.

(cid:40)ales and (cid:34)arketin(cid:56)

(cid:24)ales

Our sales organization is responsible for account acquisition and overall market development, which includes managing 

relationships with our customers. We also sell our software through our strategic partners. While our platform is industry-
agnostic, we continue to make investments to enhance the expertise of our sales organization within our core industry verticals 
of financial services, government, insurance, and life sciences. We expect to continue to grow our sales headcount in all of our 
principal markets and expand into countries where we currently do not have a direct sales presence. We also intend to expand 
our partner base to provide broader customer coverage and solution delivery capabilities.

(cid:19)arketing

Our marketing efforts focus on building our brand reputation and increasing market awareness of our platform. Marketing 

activities include sponsorship of, and attendance at, trade shows and conferences(cid:26) our annual Appian World, Appian Europe, 
and Appian Asia, Pacific, and (cid:36)apan conferences(cid:26) social media, advertising, and other digital programs(cid:26) management of our 
corporate website and partner portal(cid:26) press outreach(cid:26) and customer relations. As global concerns about the CO(cid:48)I(cid:30)-(cid:16)(cid:24) pandemic 
decline, we plan to responsibly increase the number of in-person marketing events as compared to 2(cid:15)2(cid:15) through 2(cid:15)22.

(cid:22)artner (cid:24)trategy

We have a strong and growing ecosystem of partners that helps accelerate our customers(cid:6) digital transformation initiatives 

and deliver customer value at scale. Our platform(cid:6)s ability to design, automate, and optimize end-to-end processes, and our 
partners(cid:6) industry and functional domain experience help organizations digitally transform their businesses. Partners also allow 
us to offer industry-focused solutions that help our joint customers deliver end-to-end process control for crucial business 
functions.

We have strategic partnerships around the world including with companies such as (cid:37)PMG, Accenture, PwC, E(cid:51), Infosys, 

Wipro, and (cid:30)eloitte. These partners refer software subscription customers to us and generally perform professional services 
with respect to any new service contracts they originate, increasing our subscription revenue without any change to our 
professional services revenue. We expect professional services revenue to decline as a percentage of total revenue over time, 
since our growing strategic partner network may perform more of the professional services associated with our software 
subscriptions.

We are also growing our network of regional and channel partners further to expand our business into traditional and new 

markets. These partners provide delivery services, sales and marketing capabilities, and contract fulfillment.

Researc(cid:57) and (cid:25)e(cid:71)elop(cid:62)ent

Our ability to compete depends in large part on our continuous commitment to research and development and our ability to 

introduce new pre-built solutions, technologies, features, and capabilities in a timely manner. Our research and development 
organization is responsible for the design, development, testing, and release of our solutions and platform(cid:6)s new technologies, 

(cid:22)

features and integrations. Our efforts are focused on developing new products and core technologies and further enhancing the 
functionality, reliability, performance, and flexibility of existing capabilities. We focus our efforts on anticipating customer 
demand in bringing new products and new versions of existing products to market in order to remain competitive in the 
marketplace. We plan to continue to invest in research and development to broaden and expand our platform capabilities.

Our distinct culture of innovation is an important contributor to our success as a company. We promote an inclusive 
environment where our employees can contribute their unique perspectives to help create transformative solutions for our 
customers. Our culture was purposefully cultivated by our four founders, who are still heavily involved in operating our 
business, including recruiting, interviewing, and educating new employees at Appian. (cid:38)ed by Matt Calkins, one of our founders 
and our Chief Executive Officer, we have grown our business organically by employing a unified team to maximize the 
cohesion and simplicity of our platform and our company.

We respect all people. We believe diversity of ideas and an inclusive environment are paramount to our continued success. 

We also believe our individual experiences, knowledge, and ways of working enable us to learn from one another and be 
innovative. We sponsor several affinity groups, initiated by employees, that aim to build stronger internal and external networks 
and partnerships, create a positive lasting impact through social and educational outreach, and create development opportunities 
for future leaders.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had a total global workforce of 2,(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:22) full-time employees, (cid:16),(cid:21)(cid:21)8 of which were based in the 
United States. None of our U.S. employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe our employee relations 
are good, and we have not experienced any work stoppages. Additionally, we are subject to, and comply with, local labor law 
requirements in all countries in which we operate.

(cid:25)alent (cid:9)c(cid:45)uisition and (cid:12)evelopment

We have a robust talent acquisition program to attract, recruit, and retain new talent. We utilize an extensive campus 
recruiting program, provide an employee referral program, and offer opportunities for internal transfers, and competitive 
compensation and benefits programs. We also provide resources to help our employees grow in their current roles and build 
new skills, including access to Appian University, a system that houses Appian(cid:6)s in-house learning and development solutions.

We respect all people. We believe diversity of ideas and an inclusive environment are paramount to our continued success. 
We also believe our individual experiences, knowledge, and ways of working enable us to learn from one another and discover

(cid:27)acilities

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we lease our headquarters office in Mc(cid:38)ean, (cid:48)irginia, and we also have four leased offices in 
cities outside the United States. In addition to our leased offices, we occupied seven flexible workspaces outside of the United 
States. Our use of flexible workspaces is dependent upon our current business needs. We believe our facilities are adequate to 
meet our ongoing needs, including substantial rights to expand within certain properties we lease. If we require additional space 
in the future, we believe we will be able to obtain additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms. 

Our (cid:24)usto(cid:62)ers 

 Our customers operate in various industries, including financial services, government, life sciences, insurance, 

manufacturing, energy, healthcare, telecommunications, and transportation. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had (cid:24)2(cid:20) customers, 
of which (cid:22)(cid:16)2 customers were commercial and 2(cid:16)(cid:18) customers were government or non-commercial entities. Generally, our sales 

8

team targets its efforts to organizations with over 2,(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15) employees and (cid:3)2 billion in annual revenue. The number of customers 
paying us in excess of (cid:3)(cid:16) million of annual recurring revenue has grown from (cid:22)(cid:20) at the end of 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to (cid:24)(cid:19) at the end of 2(cid:15)22. No 
single end customer accounted for more than (cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:4) of our total revenue in 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), or 2(cid:15)2(cid:15).

Our (cid:24)o(cid:62)petition

Our main competitors fall into three categories(cid:25) (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) providers of custom software solutions that address, or are developed to 

address, some of the use cases that applications developed on our platform target(cid:26) (cid:7)2(cid:8) providers of low-code development 
platforms such as Microsoft, Salesforce.com, ServiceNow, OutSystems, and Mendix(cid:26) and (cid:7)(cid:18)(cid:8) providers of one or more 
automation technologies, including business process management, case management, process mining, and robotic process 
automation. Such providers include Pegasystems, Celonis, UiPath, SAP, and Oracle. 

As our market grows, we expect it will attract more highly specialized vendors as well as larger vendors that may continue 

to acquire or bundle their products more effectively. The principal competitive factors in our market include(cid:25)

(cid:30)eployment flexibility(cid:26) 

(cid:44)obustness of professional services and customer support(cid:26) 

Price and total cost of ownership(cid:26) 

Strength of platform security and adherence to industry standards and certifications(cid:26) 

Strength of sales and marketing efforts(cid:26) and 

(cid:28)rand awareness and reputation. 

We believe we generally compete favorably with our peer group with respect to the features, security, and performance of 

our platform, the ease of integration of our applications, and the relatively low total cost of ownership of our applications. 
(cid:34)owever, many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources, greater name 
recognition, larger sales and marketing budgets, broader distribution, more diversified product lines, and larger and more 
mature intellectual property portfolios. 

Intellectual Property 

Our success depends in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. We rely on patents, 

trademarks, copyrights, trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures, and employee disclosure and invention assignment 
agreements to protect our intellectual property rights.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had (cid:16)(cid:16) granted patents and six patents pending related to our platform and its technology. 
None of our issued patents expire before 2(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:19). We cannot provide complete assurance that any of our patent applications will 
result in the issuance of a patent or that the examination process will not require us to narrow our claims. Any patents we may 
be issued may be contested, circumvented, found unenforceable, or invalidated, and we may not be able to prevent third parties 
from infringing them. We also license software from third parties for integration into our products, including open source 
software and other software available on commercially reasonable terms. We control access to and use of our proprietary 
software and other confidential information through the use of internal and external controls, including contractual protections 
with employees, contractors, end customers, and partners, and our software is protected by U.S. and international copyright and 
trade secret laws.

Risk (cid:27)actors (cid:40)u(cid:62)(cid:62)ary

The risk factors summarized below could materially harm our business, operating results, and/or financial condition, impair 
our future prospects, and/or cause the price of our common stock to decline. These risks are discussed more fully in the section 
titled (cid:84)(cid:44)isk Factors(cid:85). Material risks that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and trading price of 
our Class A common stock include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following(cid:25)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

Our recent growth may not be indicative of our future growth and, if we continue to grow, we may not be able to 
manage our growth effectively.

If we are unable to sustain our revenue growth rate, we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

(cid:81) We may not be able to scale our business quickly enough to meet our customers’ growing needs, and if we are not able 

to grow efficiently, our operating results could be harmed.

(cid:81) We are dependent on a single product, and the lack of continued market acceptance of our platform could cause our 

operating results to suffer.

(cid:81) Market adoption of low-code platforms to drive digital transformation is new and unproven and may not grow as we 

expect, which may harm our business and prospects.

(cid:81) We currently face significant competition.

(cid:81)

If our security measures are actually or perceived to have been breached or unauthorized access to our platform or 
customer data is otherwise obtained, our platform may be perceived as not being secure, customers may reduce the use 
of or stop using our platform, and we may incur significant liabilities.

(cid:81) We derive a material portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers, and the loss of one or more of these 

customers could adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

(cid:81) We rely on the performance of highly skilled personnel, including senior management and our engineering, 

professional services, sales, and technology professionals.

(cid:81)

If we do not continue to innovate and provide a platform that is useful to our customers, we may not remain 
competitive, and our revenue and operating results could suffer.

(cid:16)(cid:16)

(cid:81) We are substantially dependent upon customer renewals, the addition of new customers, and the continued growth of 

our subscriptions revenue.

(cid:81)

(cid:28)ecause we generally recognize revenue from cloud subscriptions ratably over the term of the subscription agreement, 
near term changes in sales may not be reflected immediately in our operating results.

(cid:81) We rely upon Amazon Web Services, or AWS, to operate our cloud offering(cid:26) any disruption of or interference with 

our use of AWS would adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

(cid:81) We employ third-party licensed software for use in or with our software, and the inability to maintain these licenses or 
errors in the software we license could result in increased costs or reduced service levels, which would adversely affect 
our business.

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

If we do not or cannot maintain the compatibility of our platform with third-party applications that our customers use 
in their businesses, our revenue will decline.

(cid:28)ecause our software could be used to collect and store personal information, domestic and international privacy 
concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our software.

If our platform fails to function in a manner that allows our customers to operate in compliance with regulations and/or 
industry standards, our revenue and operating results could be harmed.

(cid:81) We are subject to anti-corruption laws with respect to our domestic and international operations.

(cid:81) We are subject to governmental export and import controls and economic and trade sanctions that could impair our 
ability to conduct business in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in compliance with 
applicable laws and regulations.

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

Any failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business 
and operating results.

Portions of our platform utilize open source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these 
open source licenses could negatively affect our business.

If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our results of operations 
could be adversely affected.

Our ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

The dual class structure of our common stock and the existing ownership of capital stock by Matt Calkins, our founder 
and Chief Executive Officer, has the effect of concentrating voting control with Mr. Calkins for the foreseeable future, 
which will limit the ability of others to influence corporate matters.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under (cid:30)elaware law could make an acquisition of us more 
difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, and limit the market price 
of our Class A common stock.

Our stock price may be volatile, and investors may lose some or all of their investment.

(cid:16)2

Ite(cid:62) (cid:12)(cid:22)(cid:10) Risk (cid:27)actors(cid:10)

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties including those described below and 
other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only 
ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties we are unaware of, or we currently believe are not material, may also become 
important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks or others not specified below materialize, our 
business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading price of our 
Class A common stock could decline.

Risks Related to Our (cid:23)usiness and Industry

(cid:21)ur recent growth may not be indicative of our future growth and(cid:4) if we continue to grow(cid:4) we may not be able to 

manage our growth effectively.

We have experienced rapid growth in our headcount and operations. We have also significantly increased the size of our 

customer base over the last several years. While we have expanded our operations and headcount in prior periods, it is not 
indicative of our future growth and we may modify our pace of hiring to align with our growth plans. Our growth has placed, 
and any future growth will place, a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational, and financial 
infrastructure. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage this growth effectively and we will need to continue to 
improve our operational, financial, and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. Failure to effectively 
manage our growth could result in difficulty or delays in deploying our platform to customers, declines in quality or customer 
satisfaction, increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new features, or other operational difficulties. Any of these difficulties 
could adversely impact our business performance and results of operations.

(cid:17)f we are unable to sustain our revenue growth rate(cid:4) we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We have experienced revenue growth with revenue of (cid:3)(cid:19)(cid:21)8.(cid:15) million, (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:21)(cid:24).(cid:18) million, and (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:19).(cid:21) million in 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), 

and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), respectively. Although we have experienced rapid revenue growth historically, we may not continue to grow as 
rapidly in the future, and our revenue growth rates may decline. Any success we may experience in the future will depend in 
large part on our ability to, among other things(cid:25)

(cid:81) Maintain and expand our customer base(cid:26)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

Increase revenue from existing customers through increased or broader use of our platform within their organizations(cid:26)

Further penetrate the existing industry verticals we serve and expand into other industry verticals(cid:26) and

Continue to successfully expand our business domestically and internationally.

If we are unable to maintain consistent revenue or revenue growth, our stock price could be volatile, and it may be difficult 

to achieve and maintain profitability. Our revenue for any prior quarterly or annual periods should not be relied upon as any 
indication of our future revenue or revenue growth.

We may not be able to scale our business (cid:45)uickly enough to meet our customers(cid:58) growing needs(cid:4) and if we are not able 

to grow efficiently(cid:4) our operating results could be harmed.

As usage of our platform grows and as customers use our platform for more advanced and more frequent projects, we may 

need to devote additional resources to improving our software architecture, integrating with third-party systems, and 
maintaining infrastructure performance. In addition, we will need to appropriately scale our internal business operations as well 
as grow our partner services systems, including our Customer Success organization and operations, to serve our growing 
customer base, particularly as our customer base expands over time. Any failure of or delay in these efforts could cause 
impaired system performance and reduced customer satisfaction. These issues could reduce the attractiveness of our platform to 
customers, resulting in decreased sales to new customers, lower renewal rates by existing customers, the issuance of service 
credits, or requested refunds, any of which could hurt our revenue growth and our reputation. Even if we are able to upgrade 
our systems and expand our staff, any such expansion will be expensive and complex, requiring management time and 
attention. We could also face inefficiencies or operational failures as a result of our efforts to scale our infrastructure. Moreover, 
there are inherent risks associated with upgrading, improving, and expanding our information technology systems. We cannot 

(cid:16)(cid:18)

be sure the expansion and improvements to our infrastructure and systems will be fully or effectively implemented on a timely 
basis, if at all. These efforts may reduce revenue and our margins and adversely impact our financial results.

We are dependent on a single product(cid:4) and the lack of continued market acceptance of our platform could cause our 

operating results to suffer.

Sales of our software platform account for substantially all of our subscriptions revenue and are the source of substantially 
all of our professional services revenue. We expect we will be substantially dependent on our platform to generate revenue for 
the foreseeable future. As a result, our operating results or revenue growth rates could suffer due to(cid:25)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

Any decline or lower than expected growth in demand for our platform(cid:26)

The failure of our platform to achieve continued market acceptance(cid:26)

The market for low-code solutions not continuing to grow or growing more slowly than we expect(cid:26)

The introduction of products and technologies that serve as a replacement or substitute for, or represent an 
improvement over, our platform(cid:26)

Technological innovations or new standards that our platform does not address(cid:26)

Sensitivity to current or future prices offered by us or competing solutions(cid:26) 

The inability to further penetrate our existing industry verticals or expand our customer base(cid:26) and

Our inability to release enhanced versions of our platform on a timely basis.

(cid:21)ur sales cycle is long and unpredictable(cid:4) particularly with respect to large customers(cid:4) and our sales efforts re(cid:45)uire 

considerable time and expense(cid:4) all of which may cause our operating results to fluctuate.

Our operating results may fluctuate, in part, because of the resource-intensive nature of our sales efforts, the length and 
variability of the sales cycle of our platform, and the difficulty we face in adjusting our short-term operating expenses. Our 
operating results depend in part on sales to large customers and promotion of increasing usage by those large customers. The 
length of our sales cycle, from initial evaluation to delivery of and payment for our software, varies substantially from customer 
to customer, and it is difficult to predict if or when we will make a sale to a potential customer. We may spend substantial time, 
effort, and money on our sales and marketing efforts without any assurance our efforts will result in revenue. As a result of 
these factors, we may face greater costs, longer sales cycles, and less predictability in the future. In the past, certain individual 
sales have occurred in periods later than we expected or have not occurred at all. The loss or delay of one or more large 
transactions in a quarter could impact our operating results for that quarter and any future quarters in which such revenue 
otherwise would have been recognized because a substantial portion of our expenses are relatively fixed in the short-term. As a 
result of these factors, it is difficult for us to forecast our revenue accurately in any quarter, and our quarterly results may 
fluctuate substantially. 

(cid:19)arket adoption of low(cid:5)code platforms to drive digital transformation is new and unproven and may not grow as we 

expect(cid:4) which may harm our business and prospects.

We believe our future success will depend in large part on growth in the demand for low-code platforms to drive software-

enabled digital transformation. It is difficult to predict customer demand for our platform, renewal rates, the rate at which 
existing customers expand their subscriptions, the size and growth rate of the market for our platform, the entry of competitive 
products, or the success of existing competitive products. The utilization of low-code software to drive digital transformation is 
still relatively new. Any expansion in our addressable market depends on a number of factors, including businesses continuing 
to desire to differentiate themselves through software-enabled digital transformation, increasing their reliance on low-
code solutions, changes in the competitive landscape, technological changes, budgetary constraints of our customers, and 
changes in economic conditions. If our platform does not achieve widespread adoption or there is a reduction in demand 
for low-code solutions caused by these factors, it could result in reduced customer purchases, reduced renewal rates, and 
decreased revenue, any of which will adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We currently face significant competition.

(cid:16)(cid:19)

 
The markets for low-code platforms, business process management, case management software, and custom software are 
highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and have relatively low barriers to entry. The principal competitive factors in our market 
include the following(cid:25) platform features, reliability, performance, and effectiveness(cid:26) ease of use and speed(cid:26) platform 
extensibility and ability to integrate with other technology infrastructures(cid:26) deployment flexibility(cid:26) robustness of professional 
services and customer support(cid:26) price and total cost of ownership(cid:26) strength of platform security and adherence to industry 
standards and certifications(cid:26) strength of sales and marketing efforts(cid:26) and brand awareness and reputation. If we fail to compete 
effectively with respect to any of these competitive factors, we may fail to attract new customers or lose or fail to renew 
existing customers, which would cause our operating results to suffer.

Our  main  competitors  fall  into  three  categories(cid:25)  (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8)  providers  of  custom  software  and  customer  software  solutions  that 
address, or are developed to address, some of the use cases that can be addressed by applications developed on our platform(cid:26) (cid:7)2(cid:8) 
providers of low-code development platforms such as Microsoft, Salesforce.com, ServiceNow, OutSystems, and Mendix(cid:26) and 
(cid:7)(cid:18)(cid:8)  providers  of  one  or  more  automation  technologies,  including  (cid:28)PM,  case  management,  process  mining,  and  (cid:44)PA.  Such 
providers include Pegasystems, Celonis, UiPath, Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle.

Some of our actual and potential competitors have advantages over us such as longer operating histories, more established 
relationships with current or potential customers and commercial partners, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, 
or other resources, stronger brand recognition, larger intellectual property portfolios, and broader global distribution and 
presence. Such competitors may make their solutions available at a low cost or no cost basis in order to enhance their overall 
relationships with current or potential customers. Our competitors may also be able to respond more quickly and effectively 
than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or customer requirements. With the introduction of new 
technologies and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. In addition, some of our larger 
competitors have substantially broader offerings and can bundle competing products with other software offerings. As a result, 
customers may choose a bundled offering from our competitors, even if individual products have more limited functionality 
than our platform. These larger competitors are also often in a better position to withstand any significant reduction in capital 
spending and will therefore not be as susceptible to economic downturns.

(cid:17)f our security measures are actually or perceived to have been breached or unauthori(cid:54)ed access to our platform or 
customer data is otherwise obtained(cid:4) our platform may be perceived as not being secure(cid:4) customers may reduce the use of or 
stop using our platform(cid:4) and we may incur significant liabilities.

Our platform, which can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises, allows for the storage and transmission of our 
customers’ proprietary or confidential information, which may include trade secrets, personally identifiable information, 
personal health information, and payment card information. Any actual or perceived unauthorized access to, or security 
incidents affecting, our platform or the information stored on or transmitted by our platform, including through unauthorized 
and/or malicious activity by one of our employees, could result in the loss of information, litigation, regulatory investigations, 
penalties, indemnity obligations and other costs, expenses, and liabilities, which could exceed our existing insurance coverage 
and could result in a substantial financial loss. While we have security measures in place designed to protect customer 
information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, there can be no assurance these measures will be effective in 
protecting against malicious unauthorized access to our platform or our customers’ information. Similarly, if cyber incidents 
such as phishing attacks, viruses, denial of service attacks, supply chain attacks, malware installation, ransomware attacks, 
server malfunction, software or hardware failures, loss of data or other computer assets, adware, or other similar issues impair 
the integrity or availability of our systems by affecting our data or reducing access to or shutting down one or more of our 
computing systems or our IT network, we may be subject to negative treatment by our customers, our business partners, the 
press, and the public at large. Further, while security tested and techniques are in place and tested by third parties, because the 
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. 
Additionally, we may be subject to attacks on our networks or systems or attempts to gain unauthorized access to our 
proprietary or confidential information or other data we or our vendors maintain such as data about our employees. Such attacks 
and other breaches of security may occur as a result of malicious attacks, human error, social engineering, or other causes. Any 
actual or perceived breach of our security measures or failure to adequately protect our customers’ or our confidential or 
proprietary information could negatively affect our ability to attract new customers, cause existing customers to elect to not 
renew their subscriptions to our software, or result in reputational damage, any of which could adversely affect our operating 
results.

(cid:16)(cid:20)

Further, security compromises experienced by our customers with respect to data hosted on our platform, even if caused by 

the customer’s own misuse or negligence, may lead to public disclosures, which could harm our reputation, erode customer 
confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures, negatively impact our ability to attract new customers, or cause 
existing customers to elect not to renew their subscriptions with us. We may be subjected to indemnity demands, regulatory 
proceedings, audits, penalties, or litigation based on our customers’ misuse of our platform with respect to such sensitive 
information and defending against such litigation and otherwise addressing such matters may be expensive, cause distraction, 
and may result in us incurring liability, all of which may affect our operating results.

While we maintain general liability insurance coverage and coverage for errors or omissions, we cannot provide assurance 
such coverage will be adequate or otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages with respect to claims alleging compromises 
of personal data or that such coverage will continue to be available on acceptable terms or at all.

We derive a material portion of our revenue from a limited number of customers(cid:4) and the loss of one or more of these 

customers could adversely impact our business(cid:4) results of operations(cid:4) and financial condition.

Our customer base is concentrated. For example, during the years ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), revenue 

from U.S. federal government agencies represented (cid:16)(cid:24).2(cid:4), (cid:16)(cid:24).(cid:21)(cid:4), and (cid:16)8.(cid:16)(cid:4) of our total revenue, respectively, and the top 
three U.S. federal government customers generated (cid:19).(cid:20)(cid:4), (cid:20).(cid:21)(cid:4), and (cid:21).(cid:21)(cid:4) of our total revenue for the years ended 
(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), respectively. Further, nearly (cid:16)(cid:16)(cid:4) of our subscription customers spent more than (cid:3)(cid:16) 
million on our software in 2(cid:15)22. If we were to lose one or more of our significant customers, our revenue may significantly 
decline. In addition, revenue from significant customers may vary from period to period depending on the timing of renewing 
existing agreements or entering into new agreements. The loss of one or more of our significant customers could adversely 
affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

(cid:9) portion of our revenue is generated from subscriptions sold to governmental entities and heavily regulated 

organi(cid:54)ations(cid:4) which are subject to a number of challenges and risks.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated from subscriptions sold to governmental entities, both in the United States 

and internationally. Additionally, many of our current and prospective customers such as those in the financial services, 
insurance, life sciences, and healthcare industries are highly regulated and may be required to comply with more stringent 
regulations in connection with subscribing to and implementing our platform. Selling subscriptions to these entities can be 
highly competitive, expensive, and time-consuming, often requiring significant upfront time and expense without any assurance 
we will successfully complete a sale. In addition, if our software does not meet the standards of new or existing regulations, we 
may be in breach of our contracts with our customers, allowing them to terminate their agreements.

Governmental demand and payment for our platform may also be impacted by public sector budgetary cycles and funding 
authorizations, with funding reductions or delays adversely affecting public sector demand for our platform. Governmental and 
highly regulated entities impose compliance requirements that are complicated, make pricing readily available, subject 
continued business to unpredictable competitive processes, or are otherwise time-consuming and expensive to satisfy. In the 
United States, applicable federal contracting regulations change frequently, and the President may issue executive orders 
requiring federal contractors to adhere to new compliance requirements after a contract is signed. If we commit to meet special 
standards or requirements and do not meet them, we could be subject to significant liability from our customers or regulators. 
Even if we do meet these special standards or requirements, the additional costs associated with providing our platform to 
government and highly regulated customers could harm our operating results. Moreover, changes in the underlying statutory 
and regulatory conditions that affect these types of customers could compromise our ability to efficiently provide them access 
to our platform and to grow or maintain our customer base. In addition, engaging in sales activities to foreign governments 
introduces additional compliance risks specific to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.(cid:37). (cid:28)ribery Act, and other 
similar statutory requirements prohibiting bribery and corruption in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

We have experienced losses in the past(cid:4) and we may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

We generated net losses of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:20)(cid:15).(cid:24) million, (cid:3)88.(cid:21) million, and (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:18).(cid:20) million in 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), respectively. As of 
(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had an accumulated deficit of (cid:3)(cid:19)(cid:15)8.(cid:20) million. We will need to generate and sustain increased revenue 
levels in future periods in order to achieve or sustain profitability in the future. We also expect our costs to increase in future 
periods, which could negatively affect our future operating results if our revenue does not increase commensurately. For 

(cid:16)(cid:21)

example, we intend to continue to expend significant funds to expand our sales and marketing operations, develop and enhance 
our platform, meet the increased compliance requirements associated with our operation as a public company, and expand into 
new markets. Our efforts to grow our business may be more costly than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our 
revenue enough to offset our higher operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, 
including the other risks described in this Annual (cid:44)eport on Form (cid:16)(cid:15)-(cid:37), and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications 
and delays, and other unknown events. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, our stock price may significantly 
decrease.

(cid:21)ur future results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to a wide range of factors(cid:4) which makes our future 

results difficult to predict.

Our revenue and results of operations have historically varied from period to period, and we expect they will continue to do 

so as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including(cid:25)

Fluctuations in our effective tax rate(cid:26) and

General economic and political conditions, both domestically and internationally, as well as economic conditions 
specifically affecting industries in which our customers operate.

Any one of these or other factors discussed elsewhere in this Annual (cid:44)eport on Form (cid:16)(cid:15)-(cid:37) or the cumulative effect of 
some of these factors may result in fluctuations in our revenue and operating results, meaning quarter-to-quarter comparisons of 

(cid:16)(cid:22)

our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows may not necessarily be indicative of our future performance, may cause us to 
miss our guidance or analyst expectations, and may cause our stock price to decline.

In addition, we have historically experienced seasonality in terms of when we enter into agreements with customers. We 
typically enter into a significantly higher percentage of agreements with new customers, as well as renewal agreements with 
existing customers, in the fourth quarter. The increase in customer agreements for the fourth quarter is attributable to large 
enterprise account buying patterns typical in the software industry. Furthermore, we usually enter into a significant portion of 
agreements with customers during the last month, and often the last two weeks, of each quarter. This seasonality is reflected to 
a much lesser extent, and sometimes is not immediately apparent, in revenue due to the fact we recognize cloud subscription 
revenue over the term of the subscription agreement, which is generally one to three years. We expect seasonality will continue 
to affect our operating results in the future and may reduce our ability to predict cash flow and optimize the timing of our 
operating expenses.

We may fail to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business and future operating 

results(cid:4) which could cause our stock price to decline.

We have provided and may continue to provide guidance about our business, future operating results, and other business 

metrics. In developing this guidance, our management must make certain assumptions and judgments about our future 
performance. Furthermore, analysts and investors may develop and publish their own projections of our business, which may 
form a consensus about our future performance. Our business results may vary significantly from such guidance or that 
consensus due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including due to the global economic 
uncertainty and financial market conditions which could adversely affect our operations and operating results. Furthermore, if 
our publicly announced guidance of future operating results fails to meet our previously announced guidance or the 
expectations of securities analysts, investors, or other interested parties, the price of our common stock would decline.

(cid:17)f we are unable to successfully transition to new leadership in key departments(cid:4) our results could suffer.

Appian has undergone change in departments directly responsible for substantially all of Appian(cid:6)s revenue. While Appian 

believes its new leaders in these departments are highly qualified and will perform well in their roles, there can be no 
assurances the transition to new leadership will be executed without any disruption or effect on performance. New leadership 
requires time to become familiar with Appian(cid:6)s product offerings and its customer base, and such transition could lead to 
delayed implementation of strategies, revision of key practices and policies, re-training of personnel, and other disruptions.

While we will make efforts to mitigate such risk through extensive collaboration at the executive level, the effects of this 
transition could have an impact on our ability to sustain our growth in revenue or our ability to retain existing talent within the 
organization.

We rely on the performance of highly skilled personnel(cid:4) including senior management and our engineering(cid:4) 
professional services(cid:4) sales(cid:4) and technology professionals(cid:8) if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire(cid:4) 
retain(cid:4) and motivate (cid:45)ualified personnel(cid:4) our business would be harmed.

We believe our success has depended, and continues to depend, on the efforts and talents of our senior management team, 
particularly Matt Calkins, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, and our highly skilled team members, including our sales 
personnel, professional services personnel, cloud engineering and support personnel, and software engineers. We do not 
maintain key man insurance on any of our executive officers or key employees. From time to time, there have been and may 
continue to be changes in our senior management team resulting from the termination or departure of our executive officers and 
key employees. Our senior management and key employees are employed on an at-will basis, which means they could 
terminate their employment with us at any time. 

Many of our executive officers and key employees receive equity compensation as a significant portion of their overall 

compensation package. A substantial decrease in the market price of our Class A common stock would effectively reduce the 
compensation of such persons and could increase the risk they depart from our company. The loss of any of our senior 
management or key employees, particularly Mr. Calkins, could adversely affect our ability to build on the efforts they have 
undertaken and to execute our business plan, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements. We cannot ensure we will 
be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees.

(cid:16)8

Our ability to successfully pursue our growth strategy also depends on our ability to attract, motivate, and retain our 

personnel. Competition for well-qualified employees in all aspects of our business, including sales personnel, professional 
services personnel, cloud engineering and support personnel, and software engineers, is intense. Our continued ability to 
compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new employees and to retain and motivate existing employees. Further, a 
small portion of our employees are immigrants to the United States or foreign nationals holding visas. If immigration to the 
United States is further restricted by the federal government, we might lose existing employees who are unable to remain in the 
United States and our pool of qualified applicants might also be diminished, thereby hampering our recruiting efforts. If we do 
not succeed in attracting well-qualified employees or retaining and motivating existing employees, our business would be 
adversely affected.

(cid:17)f we do not continue to innovate and provide a platform that is useful to our customers(cid:4) we may not remain competitive(cid:4) 

and our revenue and operating results could suffer.

Our success depends on continued innovation to provide features that make our platform useful for our customers, our 

ability to persuade existing customers to expand their use of our platform to additional use cases and additional applications, 
and to purchase additional software licenses to our platform. We must continue to invest significant resources in research and 
development in order to continually improve the speed and power of our platform. We may introduce significant changes to our 
platform or develop and introduce new and unproven products, including using technologies with which we have little or no 
prior development or operating experience. If we are unable to continue offering innovative solutions or if new or enhanced 
solutions fail to engage our customers, we may be unable to attract additional customers or retain our current customers, which 
may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We may need to reduce or change our pricing model to remain competitive.

We generally sell our software on a per-user basis or through non-user based single application licenses. We have changed 
and expect we will continue to need to change our pricing model from time to time. As competitors introduce new products that 
compete with ours or reduce their prices, we may be unable to attract new customers or retain existing customers based on our 
historical pricing. We also must determine the appropriate price to enable us to compete effectively internationally. 
Moreover, mid- to large-size enterprises may demand substantial price discounts as part of the negotiation of sales contracts. As 
a result, we may be required or choose to reduce our prices or change our pricing model, which could adversely affect our 
business, operating results, and financial condition.

(cid:21)ur business could be adversely affected if our customers are not satisfied with the deployment services provided by us 

or our partners.

The success of our business depends on our customers’ satisfaction with our platform, the support we provide for our 

platform, and the professional services we provide to help our customers deploy our platform. Professional services may be 
performed by our own staff, a third party, or a combination of the two. Our strategy is to work with third parties to increase the 
breadth, capability, and depth of capacity for delivery of these services to our customers, and third parties provide a significant 
portion of our deployment services. If a customer is not satisfied with the quality of work performed by us or a third party or 
with the type of applications delivered, we could incur additional costs to address the deficiency, which would diminish the 
profitability of the customer relationship. Further, a customer’s dissatisfaction with our services could impair our ability to 
expand the number of licenses to our software purchased by that customer or adversely affect the customer’s renewal of 
existing licenses. In addition, negative publicity related to our customer relationships, regardless of accuracy, may further 
damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new business with actual and prospective customers.

We are substantially dependent upon customer renewals(cid:4) the addition of new customers(cid:4) and the continued growth of 

our subscriptions revenue.

(cid:16)(cid:24)

We derive, and expect to increasingly derive in the future, a substantial portion of our revenue from the sale of software 

subscriptions. For 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), approximately (cid:22)2.(cid:22)(cid:4), (cid:22)(cid:16).(cid:19)(cid:4), and (cid:21)(cid:20).2(cid:4), respectively, of our total revenue was 
subscriptions revenue. The market for our platform is still evolving, and competitive dynamics may cause pricing levels to 
change as the market matures and as existing and new market participants introduce new types of solutions and different 
approaches to enable customers to address their needs. As a result, we may be forced to reduce the prices we charge for 
software and may be required to offer terms less favorable to us for new and renewing agreements.

In order for us to improve our operating results, it is important our customers renew their subscriptions with us when their 
initial term expires, as well as purchase additional subscriptions from us. In general, our customers have no renewal obligation 
after their initial term expires, and we cannot provide assurance we will be able to renew subscriptions with any of our 
customers at the same or higher contract value.

Further, while we offer access to our platform primarily through multi-year subscription agreements, some agreements may 

have shorter durations. Additionally, some of our contracts limit the amount we can increase prices from period to period or 
include pricing guarantees. If our customers do not renew their agreements, terminate their agreements, renew their agreements 
on terms less favorable to us, or fail to purchase additional software subscriptions, our revenue may decline and our operating 
results would likely be harmed as a result.

(cid:10)ecause we generally recogni(cid:54)e revenue from cloud subscriptions ratably over the term of the subscription agreement(cid:4) 

near term changes in sales may not be reflected immediately in our operating results.

We offer our solution primarily through multi-year cloud subscription agreements and generally recognize revenue ratably 
over the related subscription period. As a result, much of the revenue we report in each quarter is derived from the recognition 
of previously unbilled or deferred contract value relating to agreements entered into during prior periods. Accordingly, a 
decline in new or renewal subscription agreements in any quarter is not likely to be reflected immediately in our revenue results 
for that quarter. Such declines, however, would negatively affect our revenue, and to a lesser extent, deferred revenue balance 
in future periods, and the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our platform and potential changes 
in our rate of renewals may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. 

(cid:17)f we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand(cid:4) our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

We believe developing and maintaining widespread awareness of our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to 
achieving widespread acceptance of our platform and attracting new customers. (cid:28)rand promotion activities may not generate 
customer awareness or increase revenue and, even if they do, any increase in revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in 
building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand or incur substantial expenses, we may fail to 
attract or retain customers necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts or to achieve the widespread 
brand awareness critical for broad customer adoption of our platform.

(cid:17)f our platform fails to perform properly or there are defects or disruptions in the rollout of our platform updates or 

enhancements(cid:4) our reputation could be adversely affected(cid:4) our market share could decline(cid:4) and we could be subject to 
liability claims.

Our platform is inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors. Any defects in functionality, security, or 

other conditions that cause interruptions in the availability of our platform could result in(cid:25)

Injury to our reputation.

2(cid:15)

The costs incurred in correcting any material defects or errors might be substantial and could adversely affect our operating 

results.

Our customer agreements often provide service level commitments on a monthly basis. If we are unable to meet the stated 
service level commitments or suffer extended periods of unavailability for our platform, we may be contractually obligated to 
provide these customers with service credits or refunds for prepaid amounts, or we could face contract terminations. Our 
revenue could be significantly affected if we suffer unscheduled downtime that exceeds the allowed downtimes under our 
agreements with our customers.

(cid:28)ecause of the large amount of data we collect and manage, it is possible hardware failures or errors in our systems could 

result in data loss or corruption or cause the information we collect to be incomplete or contain inaccuracies our customers 
regard as significant. Furthermore, the availability or performance of our platform could be adversely affected by a number of 
factors, including customers’ inability to access the internet, our customers’ increased usage of our cloud offering, the failure of 
our network or software systems, security breaches, or variability in user traffic for our services. For example, our cloud 
offering customers access our platform through their internet service providers. If a customer(cid:6)s service provider fails to provide 
sufficient capacity to support our platform or otherwise experiences service outages, such failure could interrupt our customers’ 
access to our platform, adversely affect their perception of our platform’s reliability, and reduce our revenue. In addition to 
potential liability, if we experience interruptions in the availability of our cloud offering, our reputation could be adversely 
affected, and we could lose customers.

We also provide frequent incremental releases of software updates and functional enhancements to our platform. (cid:30)espite 
extensive pre-release testing, such new versions occasionally contain undetected errors when first introduced or released. We 
have, from time to time, found errors in our software, and new errors in our existing software may be detected in the future. 
Since our customers use our software for important aspects of their business, any errors, defects, disruptions in our platform, or 
other performance problems with our solution could hurt our reputation and may damage our customers’ businesses. If that 
occurs, our customers may delay or withhold payment to us, elect not to renew, or make service credit claims, warranty claims, 
or other claims against us, and we could lose future sales. The occurrence of any of these events could result in an increase in 
our bad debt expense, an increase in collection cycles for accounts receivable, decreased future revenue and earnings, require us 
to increase our warranty provisions, or incur the risk or expense of litigation.

We rely upon (cid:9)W(cid:24) to operate our cloud offering(cid:8) any disruption of or interference with our use of (cid:9)W(cid:24) would 

adversely affect our business(cid:4) results of operations(cid:4) and financial condition.

We outsource substantially all of the infrastructure relating to our cloud offering to AWS, which hosts our platform on our 

customers’ behalf. Customers of our cloud offering need to be able to access our platform at any time, without interruption or 
degradation of performance, and we provide them with service level commitments with respect to uptime. AWS runs its own 
platform we access, and we are, therefore, vulnerable to service interruptions at AWS. We may experience interruptions, delays, 
and outages in service and availability from time to time as a result of problems with our AWS provided infrastructure, which 
could render our cloud offering inaccessible to customers. Additionally, AWS has suffered outages at specific customer 
locations in the past, rendering the customer unable to access our offering for periods of time. (cid:38)ack of availability of our AWS 
infrastructure could be due to a number of potential causes including technical failures, natural disasters, fraud, or security 
attacks we cannot predict or prevent. Such outages could lead to the triggering of our service level agreements and the issuance 
of credits to our cloud offering customers, which may impact our operating results.

In addition, if the security of the AWS infrastructure is compromised or believed to have been compromised, our business, 

results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. It is possible our customers and potential customers 
would hold us accountable for any breach of security affecting the AWS infrastructure, and we may incur significant liability 
from those customers and from third parties with respect to any breach affecting AWS systems. (cid:28)ecause our agreement with 
AWS limits AWS’s liability for damages, we may not be able to recover a material portion of our liabilities to our customers 
and third parties from AWS. Customers and potential customers may refuse to do business with us because of the perceived or 
actual failure of our cloud offering as hosted by AWS, and our operating results could be harmed.

Our agreement with AWS allows AWS to terminate the agreement by providing two years(cid:6) prior written notice and may 

allow AWS to terminate in case of a breach of contract if such breach is uncured for (cid:18)(cid:15) days or to terminate upon (cid:18)(cid:15) days(cid:6) 
advance written notice if AWS’s further provision of services to us becomes impractical for legal or regulatory reasons. 

2(cid:16)

Although we expect we could receive similar services from other third parties if any of our arrangements with AWS are 
terminated, we could experience interruptions on our platform and in our ability to make our platform available to customers, as 
well as delays and additional expenses in arranging alternative cloud infrastructure services.

(cid:21)ur growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties.

In order to grow our business, we anticipate we will continue to depend on relationships with strategic partners to provide 

broader customer coverage and solution delivery capabilities. Identifying partners, and negotiating and documenting 
relationships with them, requires significant time and resources. Our agreements with our strategic partners are non-
exclusive and do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or offering competing solutions. Our competitors may 
be effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services or to prevent or reduce subscriptions to 
our services. If our partners choose to place greater emphasis on products of their own or those offered by our competitors or do 
not effectively market and sell our platform, our ability to grow our business and sell software and professional services may be 
adversely affected. In addition, acquisitions of our partners by our competitors could result in a decrease in the number of our 
current and potential customers, as our partners may no longer facilitate the adoption of our platform by potential customers.

If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with third parties, our ability to compete in the 
marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our operating results may suffer. Even if we are successful, we 
cannot be sure these relationships will result in increased customer usage of our platform or increased revenue.

(cid:10)ecause our long(cid:5)term growth strategy involves further expansion of our sales to customers outside the (cid:26)nited (cid:24)tates(cid:4) 

our business will be susceptible to risks associated with international operations.

A component of our growth strategy involves the further expansion of our operations and customer base internationally. In 
2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), revenue generated from customers outside the United States was (cid:18)(cid:18).(cid:20)(cid:4), (cid:18)(cid:19).(cid:15)(cid:4), and (cid:18)(cid:18).8(cid:4), respectively, 
of our total revenue. We currently operate in Canada, Switzerland, the United (cid:37)ingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, 
Italy, Australia, Spain, Singapore, Sweden, (cid:36)apan, Mexico, and India. In the future, we may expand to other international 
locations. Our current international operations and future initiatives will involve a variety of risks, including(cid:25)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

Changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions(cid:26)

Unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, taxes, or trade laws(cid:26)

(cid:81) More stringent regulations relating to data security and the unauthorized use of, or access to, commercial and personal 

information, particularly in the European Union(cid:26)

(cid:30)iffering labor regulations, especially in the European Union, where labor laws are generally more advantageous to 
employees as compared to the United States, including deemed hourly wage and overtime regulations in these 
locations(cid:26)

Challenges inherent in efficiently managing an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, 
including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, benefits, and compliance programs(cid:26)

(cid:30)ifficulties in managing a business in new markets with diverse cultures, languages, customs, legal systems, 
alternative dispute systems, and regulatory systems(cid:26)

Increased travel, real estate, infrastructure, and legal compliance costs associated with international operations(cid:26)

Currency exchange rate fluctuations and the resulting effect on our revenue and expenses, and the cost and risk of 
entering into hedging transactions if we choose to do so in the future(cid:26)

(cid:38)imitations on our ability to reinvest earnings from operations in one country to fund the capital needs of our 
operations in other countries(cid:26)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

Exposure to liabilities under anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt 
Practices Act and similar laws and regulations in other jurisdictions(cid:26) and

Adverse tax burdens and foreign exchange controls that could make it difficult to repatriate earnings and cash.

Our limited experience in operating our business internationally increases the risk any potential future expansion efforts we 
may undertake will not be successful. If we invest substantial time and resources to expand our international operations and are 
unable to do so successfully and in a timely manner, our business and operating results will suffer.

We may re(cid:45)uire additional capital to support business growth(cid:4) and this capital might not be available on acceptable 

terms(cid:4) if at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to 
business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our platform, improve our operating infrastructure, 
or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to 
secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our 
existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, 
and privileges superior to those of holders of our Class A common stock. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on 
terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we 
require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly 
impaired, and our business may be adversely affected.

(cid:22)ursuant to the terms of our outstanding indebtedness(cid:4) we may be limited in our ability to incur future debt.

In November 2(cid:15)22, we entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facilities Credit Agreement (cid:7)as amended from time to time, 
the (cid:84)Credit Facility(cid:85)(cid:8) with the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to the Credit 
Facility, as lenders, and Silicon (cid:48)alley (cid:28)ank, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders, which provides for a 
five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)2(cid:15).(cid:15) million and up to (cid:3)(cid:21)(cid:15).(cid:15) million for a revolving credit 
facility, including a letter of credit sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:20).(cid:15) million and a swingline sub-facility 
in the aggregate availability amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15).(cid:15) million (cid:7)as a sublimit of the revolving loan facility(cid:8). Our obligations under the 
Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets.

Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, we are limited in our ability to incur additional indebtedness other than on the 

terms and conditions thereof. In addition, a failure to comply with the covenants under the Credit Facility could result in an 
event of default by us and an acceleration of amounts due. If an event of default occurs that is not waived by the lenders, and 
the lenders accelerate any amounts due, we may not be able to make accelerated payments, and the lender could seek to enforce 
their security interests in the collateral securing such indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our business 
and results of operations.

We may not achieve market acceptance of our pre(cid:5)built solutions(cid:4) which may adversely impact our financial results.

We have been developing and releasing pre-built solutions on our software platform in order to maximize the value of our 

platform to our customers and to reduce the sales cycles associated with software sales to new and existing customers. Each 
solution requires an investment in development, marketing, sales, support, finance, and legal resources to bring the solution to 
market. Although we make efforts to identify the solutions that will receive favorable market acceptance, there can be no 
guarantee any solution will become the source of material revenue, and the investment in the solution may not produce a 
positive return. If unsuccessful, such solutions may adversely impact our financial results to the extent our expenses increase 
without any increase in sales or to the extent attempted sales of such solutions reduce sales of our existing platform.

(cid:17)f currency exchange rates fluctuate substantially in the future(cid:4) our financial results(cid:4) which are reported in (cid:26).(cid:24). dollars(cid:4) 

could be adversely affected.

Generally, contracts executed by our foreign operations are denominated in the currency of that country or region and a 
portion of our revenue is therefore subject to foreign currency risks. As we continue to expand our international operations, we 
become more exposed to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar could reduce 
the dollar value of revenue generated by our customers outside of the United States, adversely affecting our business operations 

2(cid:18)

 
and financial results. We incur expenses for employee compensation and other operating expenses at our non-U.S. locations in 
the local currency, and fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies could result in the dollar 
equivalent of such expenses being higher. This could have a negative impact on our reported operating results. To date, we have 
not engaged in any hedging strategies, and any such strategies such as forward contracts, options, and foreign exchange swaps 
related to transaction exposures we may implement to mitigate this risk may not eliminate our exposure to foreign exchange 
fluctuations.

We employ third(cid:5)party licensed software for use in or with our software(cid:4) and the inability to maintain these licenses or 
errors in the software we license could result in increased costs or reduced service levels(cid:4) which would adversely affect our 
business.

Our software incorporates certain third-party software obtained under licenses from other companies, including database 

software from (cid:37)x Systems. We anticipate we will continue to rely on such third-party software and development tools from 
third parties in the future. Although we believe there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software we 
currently license, including open source software, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to migrate to 
other third-party software. Our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license 
agreements with third parties. In addition, integration of the third-party software used in our software with new third-party 
software may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. Also, any undetected errors 
or defects in third-party software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our software, delay new updates 
or enhancements to our platform, or result in a failure of our platform, injuring our reputation.

(cid:17)f we do not or cannot maintain the compatibility of our platform with third(cid:5)party applications that our customers use in 

their businesses(cid:4) our revenue will decline.

The functionality and attractiveness of our platform depends, in part, on our ability to integrate our platform with third-
party applications and platforms, including customer relationship management, human resources information, accounting, and 
enterprise resource planning systems our customers use and from which they obtain data. Third-party providers of applications 
and APIs may change the features of their applications and platforms, restrict our access to their applications and platforms, or 
alter the terms governing use of their applications and APIs and access to those applications and platforms in an adverse 
manner. Such changes could functionally limit or terminate our ability to use these third-party applications and platforms in 
conjunction with our platform, which could negatively impact our offerings and harm our business. If we fail to integrate our 
software with new third-party applications and platforms our customers use, we may not be able to offer the functionality our 
customers need, which would negatively impact our ability to generate revenue and adversely impact our business.

(cid:11)atastrophic events may disrupt our business.

Our corporate headquarters are located in northern (cid:48)irginia. The area around Washington, (cid:30).C. could be subjected to 

domestic or foreign terrorist attacks. Additionally, we rely on our network and third-party infrastructure and enterprise 
applications, internal technology systems, and our website for our development, marketing, operational support, hosted 
services, and sales activities. In the event of a major hurricane, earthquake, or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, 
telecommunications failure, cyberattack, outbreak of regional or global pandemic diseases, war, or terrorist attack, we may be 
unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our software development, 
lengthy interruptions in our services, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data, all of which could have an adverse 
effect on our future operating results. 

(cid:9)dverse economic conditions may negatively impact our business. 

Our business depends on the overall demand for enterprise software and on the economic health of our current and 

prospective customers. The economies of countries in Europe have been experiencing weakness associated with high sovereign 
debt levels, weakness in the banking sector, and uncertainties surrounding the future of the Euro zone. We have operations in 
the United (cid:37)ingdom and in Europe and current and potential new customers in Europe. If economic conditions in Europe and 
other key markets for our platform continue to remain uncertain or deteriorate further, many customers may delay or reduce 
their information technology spending. This could result in reductions in sales of our platform, a decrease in our renewal rate, 
longer sales cycles, reductions in subscription duration and value, slower adoption of new technologies, and increased price 
competition. Any of these events would likely have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial position.

2(cid:19)

(cid:14)uture ac(cid:45)uisitions could disrupt our business and adversely affect our business operations and financial results.

In the past we have chosen and may continue to choose, to expand by acquiring businesses or technologies. Our ability as 
an organization to successfully acquire and integrate technologies or businesses is unproven. Acquisitions involve many risks, 
including the following(cid:25)

(cid:81)

An acquisition may negatively affect our financial results because it may require us to incur charges or assume 
substantial debt or other liabilities, may cause adverse tax consequences or unfavorable accounting treatment, may 
expose us to claims and disputes by third parties, including intellectual property claims and disputes, or may not 
generate sufficient financial return to offset additional costs and expenses related to the acquisition(cid:26)

(cid:81) We may encounter difficulties or unforeseen expenditures in integrating the business, technologies, products, 

personnel, or operations of any company we acquire, particularly if key personnel of the acquired company decide not 
to work for us(cid:26)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

An acquisition may disrupt our ongoing business, divert resources, increase our expenses, and distract our 
management(cid:26)

An acquisition may result in a delay or reduction of customer purchases for both us and the company acquired due to 
customer uncertainty about continuity and effectiveness of service from either company(cid:26)

(cid:81) We may encounter difficulties in successfully selling, or may be unable to successfully sell, any acquired solutions(cid:26)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

An acquisition may involve the entry into geographic or business markets in which we have little or no prior 
experience or where competitors have stronger market positions(cid:26)

Our use of cash to pay for an acquisition would limit other potential uses for our cash(cid:26) and

If we incur debt to fund such acquisition, such debt may subject us to material restrictions on our ability to conduct our 
business as well as financial maintenance covenants.

The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial results. 

In addition, we may only be able to conduct limited due diligence on an acquired company’s operations. Following an 
acquisition, we may be subject to unforeseen liabilities arising from an acquired company’s past or present operations, and 
these liabilities may be greater than the warranty and indemnity limitations we negotiate. Any unforeseen liability greater than 
these warranty and indemnity limitations could have a negative impact on our financial condition.

Risks Related to Re(cid:56)ulatory (cid:24)o(cid:62)pliance and (cid:28)o(cid:71)ern(cid:62)ental (cid:34)atters

(cid:14)ailure to comply with governmental laws and regulations could harm our business.

Our business is subject to regulation by various federal, state, local, and foreign governments. In certain jurisdictions, these 

regulatory requirements may be more stringent than those in the United States. Noncompliance with applicable regulations or 
requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, mandatory product recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of 
profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, injunctions, or other collateral consequences. If any governmental sanctions 
are imposed or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, results of operations, and financial 
condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant 
diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions 
could harm our business, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.

(cid:10)ecause our software could be used to collect and store personal information(cid:4) domestic and international privacy and 

security concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our software and subject us to 
complex and evolving federal(cid:4) state(cid:4) and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy(cid:4) data protection(cid:4) and other related 
matters.

Personal privacy has become a significant issue in the United States and in many other countries where we offer our 
software for sale. The regulatory framework for privacy issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain 
for the foreseeable future. Many federal, state, and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering 

2(cid:20)

adopting laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of personal information and breach 
notification procedures. Interpretation of these laws, rules, and regulations and their application to our software and 
professional services in the United States and foreign jurisdictions is ongoing and cannot be fully determined at this time.

In the United States, these include rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, 

the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the (cid:34)ealth Insurance Portability and 
Accountability Act of (cid:16)(cid:24)(cid:24)(cid:21), the Gramm (cid:38)each (cid:28)liley Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or the CCPA, and other state 
laws relating to privacy and data security. The CCPA, which became effective on (cid:36)anuary (cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), drastically changes the 
ability for individuals to control the use of their personal data. It contains detailed requirements regarding collecting and 
processing personal information, imposes certain limitations on how such information may be used, and provides rights to 
consumers that have never before been available, all of which may be imposed on us by our customers. This could increase our 
costs of doing business. Further, the California Privacy (cid:44)ights Act, or CP(cid:44)A, which became effective on (cid:36)anuary (cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:18), has 
significantly modified the CCPA, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal 
information. The CP(cid:44)A also created a new state agency, the California Privacy Protection Agency, or CPPA, that is vested with 
authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CP(cid:44)A. New legislation proposed or enacted in various other states will 
continue to shape the data privacy environment nationally. For example, (cid:48)irginia passed the Consumer (cid:30)ata Protection Act, 
which became effective on (cid:36)anuary (cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:18) and Colorado passed the Colorado Privacy Act, which becomes effective (cid:36)uly (cid:16), 
2(cid:15)2(cid:18), both of which differ from the CP(cid:44)A. Some of these state laws may be more stringent or broader in scope, or offer greater 
individual rights, with respect to confidential, sensitive, and personal information than federal, international, or other state laws, 
and such laws may differ from each other, which may complicate compliance efforts.

Internationally, the European Union has adopted a comprehensive and evolving general data protection regulation, or the 
G(cid:30)P(cid:44), which contains numerous requirements related to rights of data subjects in their personal data, including more robust 
obligations on data processors and heavier documentation requirements for data protection compliance programs by companies 
in general. In addition, absent appropriate safeguards or other circumstances, the EU G(cid:30)P(cid:44) generally restricts the transfer of 
personal data to non-adequate countries outside of the European Economic Area, or EEA, such as the United States, which the 
European Commission does not consider to provide an adequate level of data privacy and security. The European Commission 
released a revised set of (cid:84)Standard Contractual Clauses(cid:85) in (cid:36)une 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) that are designed to be a valid mechanism by which 
entities can transfer personal data out of the EEA to jurisdictions that the European Commission has not found to provide an 
adequate level of protection. Currently, these new Standard Contractual Clauses are a valid mechanism to transfer personal data 
outside of the EEA. The revised Standard Contractual Clauses, however, require parties relying upon that legal mechanism to 
comply with additional obligations, such as conducting transfer impact assessments to determine whether additional security 
measures are necessary to protect the at-issue personal data. Moreover, due to potential legal challenges, there exists some 
uncertainty regarding whether the new Standard Contractual Clauses will remain a valid mechanism for transfers of personal 
data out of the EEA.

Similarly, following (cid:28)rexit, we are subject to the U.(cid:37). General (cid:30)ata Protection (cid:44)egulation, or U.(cid:37). G(cid:30)P(cid:44), a version of the 

G(cid:30)P(cid:44) as implemented into U.(cid:37). law that combines the G(cid:30)P(cid:44) and the U.(cid:37). (cid:30)ata Protection Act of 2(cid:15)(cid:16)8. U.(cid:37).-based data 
exporters are required to use the International (cid:30)ata Transfer Agreement, or I(cid:30)TA, and the International (cid:30)ata Transfer 
Addendum to the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or the U.(cid:37). Addendum, as mechanisms to comply 
with the U.(cid:37). G(cid:30)P(cid:44) when making restricted international transfers of personal data.

(cid:48)irtually every jurisdiction in which we operate has established its own data security and privacy legal framework with 
which we or our customers must comply. Since we are agnostic as to the data uploaded into our cloud offering by our cloud 
offering customers or processed by our platform in on-premises deployments, we may be hosting or otherwise processing 
substantial amounts of individually identifiable health information and other types of personally identifiable information. The 
effects of any of this legislation, and future changes to interpretations of this legislation, could be potentially far-reaching and 
may require us to modify our data management practices and to incur substantial expense in an effort to comply.

In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory 
standards that may apply to us. (cid:28)ecause the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws are still uncertain, 
it is possible these laws and other actual or alleged legal obligations such as contractual or self-regulatory obligations may be 
interpreted and applied in a manner inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the features of our platform. If 
so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits, and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business 
activities and practices or modify our software, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any inability to adequately 

2(cid:21)

address privacy or cybersecurity concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, 
regulations, and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales, and adversely 
affect our business.

Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, and policies applicable to 

the businesses of our customers may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our platform. Privacy 
concerns, whether valid or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our platform, particularly in certain industries and foreign 
countries.

(cid:17)f our platform fails to function in a manner allowing our customers to operate in compliance with regulations and(cid:7)or 

industry standards(cid:4) our revenue and operating results could be harmed.

Certain of our customers use our platform to create applications that ensure secure communications given the nature of the 

content being distributed and associated applicable regulatory requirements. As attitudes towards privacy and data security 
evolve governmental and other customers may also require our platform to comply with certain privacy, security, and other 
certifications and standards that are specialized or industry-specific. Our cloud platform holds various security certifications 
from government agencies and industry organizations, including the Federal (cid:44)isk and Authorization Management Program, or 
Fed(cid:44)AMP, compliance and (cid:34)IT(cid:44)UST certification. It also meets the ISO 2(cid:22)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:16), Payment Card Industry (cid:30)ata Security 
Standard, or PCI (cid:30)SS, and the various United States (cid:34)ealth Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or (cid:34)IPAA, standards. 
Governments and industry organizations may also adopt new laws, regulations, or requirements or make changes to existing 
laws or regulations that could impact the demand for, or value of, our applications such as the European (cid:28)anking Authority(cid:6)s 
regulations updated in September 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:24) and the CCPA that took effect (cid:36)anuary (cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:15). If we fail to maintain our current 
security certifications and/or to continue to meet security standards, or if we are unable to adapt our platform to changing legal 
and regulatory standards or other requirements in a timely manner, our customers may lose confidence in our platform, and our 
business could be negatively impacted.

(cid:11)hanges in laws and regulations related to the internet or changes in the internet infrastructure itself may diminish the 

demand for our platform and could have a negative impact on our business.

The future success of our business, and particularly our cloud offering, depends upon the continued use of the internet as a 

primary medium for commerce, communication, and business applications. Federal, state, or foreign government bodies or 
agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the internet as a 
commercial medium. Changes in these laws or regulations could require us to modify our platform in order to comply with 
these changes. In addition, government agencies or private organizations may begin to impose taxes, fees, or other charges for 
accessing the internet or commerce conducted via the internet. These laws or charges could limit the growth of internet-related 
commerce or communications generally, resulting in reductions in the demand for internet-based solutions such as ours.

In addition, the use of the internet as a business tool could be adversely affected due to delays in the development or 
adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease of use, 
accessibility, and quality of service. The performance of the internet and its acceptance as a business tool have been adversely 
affected by viruses, worms, and similar malicious programs, along with distributed denial of service, or (cid:30)(cid:30)oS, and similar 
attacks. As a result, the internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of such damage to or attacks on 
portions of its infrastructure. If the use of the internet is adversely affected by these issues, demand for our platform could 
suffer.

We are subject to anti(cid:5)corruption laws with respect to our domestic and international operations(cid:4) and non(cid:5)

compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal and(cid:7)or civil liability and materially harm our business.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of (cid:16)(cid:24)(cid:22)(cid:22), as amended, or the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery 
statute contained in (cid:16)8 U.S.C. (cid:80) 2(cid:15)(cid:16), the U.S. Travel Act, the United (cid:37)ingdom (cid:28)ribery Act 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:15), and other anti-corruption laws 
in countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit our company from 
authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public or private 
sector. We use third-party law firms, accountants, and other representatives for regulatory compliance, sales, and other purposes 
in several countries. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party representatives, our 
employees, contractors, and other agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. In addition, although we have 

2(cid:22)

implemented policies and procedures to ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws, there can be no assurance all of our 
employees, representatives, contractors, or agents will comply with these laws at all times. 

Non-compliance with these laws could subject us to whistleblower complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, 
prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or 
injunctions, suspension and/or debarment from contracting with certain persons, the loss of export privileges, reputational harm, 
adverse media coverage, and other collateral consequences. If any subpoenas or investigations are launched, or governmental or 
other sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, results of 
operations, and financial condition could be materially harmed. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a 
materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional 
fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could further harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. 
Moreover, as an issuer of securities, we also are subject to the accounting and internal controls provisions of the FCPA. These 
provisions require us to maintain accurate books and records and a system of internal controls sufficient to detect and prevent 
corrupt conduct. Failure to abide by these provisions may have an adverse effect on our business, operations, or financial 
condition.

We are subject to governmental export and import controls and economic and trade sanctions that could impair our 
ability to conduct business in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in compliance with applicable 
laws and regulations.

The United States and other countries maintain and administer export and import laws and regulations, including various 
economic and trade sanctions such as those administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, which apply to our 
business. We are required to comply with these laws and regulations. If we fail to comply with such laws and regulations, we 
and certain of our employees could be subject to substantial civil or criminal penalties, including the possible loss of export or 
import privileges, fines which may be imposed on us and responsible employees or managers, and, in extreme cases, the 
incarceration of responsible employees or managers.

Changes in our platform, or changes in applicable export or import laws and regulations, may create delays in the 

introduction and sale of our platform in international markets or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our platform to 
certain countries, governments, or persons altogether. Any change in export or import laws and regulations or economic or 
trade sanctions, shift in the enforcement or scope of existing laws and regulations, or change in the countries, governments, 
persons, or technologies targeted by such laws and regulations could also result in decreased use of our platform or in our 
decreased ability to export or sell our platform to existing or potential customers. Any decreased use of our services or 
limitation on our ability to export or sell our services would likely adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results 
of operations.

We incorporate encryption technology into certain of our products. Encryption products may be exported outside of the 

United States only with the required export authorization, including by license, license exception, or other appropriate 
government authorization. Obtaining the necessary export license or other authorization for a particular sale may be time-
consuming and may result in the delay or loss of sales opportunities. In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain 
encryption technology, including import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our 
ability to distribute our products or could limit our customers’ ability to implement our products in those countries. Although 
we take precautions to prevent our products from being provided in violation of such laws, our products may have been in the 
past, and could in the future, be provided inadvertently in violation of such laws, despite the precautions we take. Governmental 
regulation of encryption technology and regulation of imports or exports, or our failure to obtain required import or export 
approval for our products, could harm our international sales and adversely affect our revenue.

Moreover, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions programs prohibit the provision of services to countries, 
governments, and persons subject to U.S. economic embargoes and trade sanctions. Even though we take precautions to prevent 
our platform from being used by U.S. sanctions targets, our platform could be used by a sanctioned person or in an embargoed 
country despite such precautions. Any such shipment could have negative consequences, including government investigations, 
penalties, and reputational harm.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

28

(cid:9)ny failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business 

and operating results.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual 

property. To safeguard these rights, we rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws and 
contractual protections in the United States and other jurisdictions, all of which provide only limited protection and may not 
now or in the future provide us with a competitive advantage.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had (cid:16)(cid:16) issued patents and six pending patent applications related to our platform and its 

technology. We have registered the (cid:84)Appian(cid:85) name and logo in the United States and certain other countries. We have 
registrations and/or pending applications for additional marks in the United States. We cannot provide assurance that any 
current or future applications for registrations for patent or trademark applications will result in the grant of any valid, 
enforceable intellectual property rights. Further, we cannot provide assurance that any granted patent or trademark will provide 
the protection we seek, will be valid if challenged, or will be sufficiently broad in actions against alleged infringers. Moreover, 
any of our granted intellectual property rights may be rendered invalid by future changes in the law, defects in our prosecution 
processes, or preexisting technology, rights, or marks. 

In order to protect our unpatented proprietary technologies and processes, we rely on trade secret laws and confidentiality 

and invention assignment agreements with our employees, consultants, strategic partners, vendors, and others. (cid:30)espite our 
efforts to protect our proprietary technology and trade secrets, unauthorized parties may attempt to misappropriate, copy, 
reverse engineer, or otherwise obtain and use them. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets, in which 
case we would not be able to assert trade secret rights or develop similar technologies and processes. Further, the contractual 
provisions we enter into may not prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our proprietary technology or intellectual property 
rights and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of any such unauthorized use or disclosure. 

Policing unauthorized use of our technologies, trade secrets, and intellectual property is difficult, expensive, and time-
consuming, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in 
the United States and where mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be weak. To the extent we expand 
our activities outside of the United States, our exposure to unauthorized copying and use of our platform and proprietary 
information may increase. We may be unable to determine the extent of any unauthorized use or infringement of our platform, 
technologies, or intellectual property rights.

There can be no assurance the steps we take will be adequate to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual 
property, that others will not develop or patent similar or superior technologies, products or services, or that our trademarks, 
patents, and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented by others. Furthermore, effective 
trademark, patent, copyright, and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our software is 
available or where we have employees or independent contractors. 

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect 

these rights. (cid:38)itigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights has been and could be costly, time-
consuming, and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. 
Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits 
attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our failure to secure, protect, and enforce our 
intellectual property rights could seriously adversely affect our brand and impact our business.

We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims by third parties(cid:4) which are extremely costly to defend(cid:4) could 

re(cid:45)uire us to pay significant damages(cid:4) and could limit our ability to use certain technologies.

Companies in the software and technology industries, including some of our current and potential competitors, own 

significant numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations 
of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, many of these companies have the capability to 
dedicate substantially greater resources to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought 
against them. The litigation may involve patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners that have no relevant product 
revenue and against which our patents may therefore provide little or no deterrence. In the past, we have been subject to 
allegations of patent infringement that were unsuccessful, and we may in the future be subject to claims we have 

2(cid:24)

misappropriated, misused, or infringed other parties’ intellectual property rights, and, to the extent we gain greater market 
visibility or face increasing competition, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims, 
which is not uncommon with respect to enterprise software companies. We also generally grant our customers ownership of any 
custom applications we develop for them, subject to our continued ownership of our pre-existing intellectual property rights 
and, in the past, a customer for whom we have developed custom applications has incorrectly alleged applications we have 
independently developed infringed the customer’s intellectual property rights. In addition, we have in the past, and may in the 
future, be subject to claims that our employees, contractors, or we ourselves have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed 
trade secrets or other proprietary information of our competitors or other parties. To the extent intellectual property claims are 
made against our customers based on their usage of our technology, we have certain obligations to indemnify and defend such 
customers from those claims. The term of our contractual indemnity provisions often survives termination or expiration of the 
applicable agreement. (cid:38)arge indemnity payments, defense costs, or damage claims from contractual breach could harm our 
business, results of operations, and financial condition.

There may be third-party intellectual property rights, including issued or pending patents that cover significant aspects of 
our technologies or business methods. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be very time-consuming, 
expensive to settle or litigate, divert our management’s attention and other resources, and result in adverse publicity. These 
claims could also subject us to making substantial payments for legal fees, settlement payments, and other costs or damages, 
potentially including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed patents or copyrights. These claims could also 
result in our having to stop making, selling, offering for sale, or using technology found to be in violation of a third party’s 
rights. We might be required to seek a license for the third-party intellectual property rights, which may not be available on 
reasonable terms or at all. Moreover, to the extent we only have a license to any intellectual property used in our platform, there 
may be no guarantee of continued access to such intellectual property, including on reasonable terms. As a result, we may be 
required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense. If a third party is 
able to obtain an injunction preventing us from accessing such third-party intellectual property rights, or if we cannot license or 
develop technology for any infringing aspect of our business, we would be forced to limit or stop sales of our software or cease 
business activities covered by such intellectual property and may be unable to compete effectively. Any of these results would 
adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

(cid:22)ortions of our platform utili(cid:54)e open source software(cid:4) and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these 

open source licenses could negatively affect our business.

Our software contains software licensed to us by third parties under so-called (cid:84)open source(cid:85) licenses, including the GNU 

(cid:38)esser General Public (cid:38)icense, the (cid:28)S(cid:30) (cid:38)icense, and others. From time to time, there have been claims against companies that 
distribute or use open source software in their products and services, asserting such open source software infringes the 
claimants’ intellectual property rights. We could be subject to suits by parties claiming what we believe to be licensed open 
source software infringes their intellectual property rights. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks 
than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual 
protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, certain open source licenses require source 
code for software programs subject to the license be made available to the public and that any modifications or derivative works 
to such open source software continue to be licensed under the same terms.

Although we monitor our use of open source software in an effort both to comply with the terms of the applicable open 
source licenses and to avoid subjecting our software to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open source licenses 
have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose 
unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our platform. (cid:28)y the terms of certain open source 
licenses, we could be required to release the source code of our software and to make our software available under open source 
licenses, if we combine or distribute our software with open source software in a certain manner. In the event portions of our 
software 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, that software or otherwise be limited in the licensing of our software, each of 
which could reduce or eliminate the value of our platform. Many of the risks associated with usage of open source software 
cannot be eliminated and could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to (cid:41)a(cid:73) and (cid:22)ccountin(cid:56) (cid:34)atters

(cid:18)(cid:15)

(cid:17)f our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect(cid:4) our results of operations 

could be adversely affected.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates 
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our 
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as 
provided in Part II, Item (cid:22), (cid:84)Management’s (cid:30)iscussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and (cid:44)esults of Operations(cid:85) of this 
Annual (cid:44)eport on Form (cid:16)(cid:15)-(cid:37). The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of 
assets, liabilities, and equity as well as the amount of revenue and expenses. Significant assumptions and estimates used in 
preparing our consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition, income taxes and the related 
valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, and business combinations. Our 
results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our 
assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, 
resulting in a decline in the trading price of our Class A common stock.

(cid:21)ur operating results may be negatively affected by additional tax liabilities.

We currently collect and remit sales and use, value added, and other transaction taxes in certain of the jurisdictions where 
we do business based on our assessment of whether tax is owed by us in such jurisdictions. (cid:34)owever, in some jurisdictions in 
which we do business, we do not believe we owe such taxes, and therefore we currently do not collect and remit such taxes or 
record contingent tax liabilities in those jurisdictions. Further, due to uncertainty in the application and interpretation of 
applicable tax laws in various jurisdictions, we may be exposed to sales and use, value added, or other transaction tax liability. 
A successful assertion that we are required to pay additional taxes in connection with sales of our platform, or the imposition of 
new laws or regulations requiring the payment of additional taxes, would create increased costs and administrative burdens for 
us. If we are subject to additional taxes and determined to offset such increased costs by collecting and remitting sales taxes 
from our customers, or otherwise passing those costs through to our customers, companies may be discouraged from using our 
platform. Any increased tax burden may decrease our ability or willingness to compete in relatively burdensome tax 
jurisdictions, result in substantial tax liabilities related to past sales, or otherwise harm our business and operating results.

In addition, as a multinational organization, we may be subject to taxation in several jurisdictions around the world with 
increasingly complex tax laws and the amount of taxes we pay in these jurisdictions could increase substantially as a result of 
changes in the applicable tax principles, including increased tax rates, new tax laws, or revised interpretations of existing tax 
laws and precedents. Furthermore, the authorities in these jurisdictions could review our tax returns and impose additional tax, 
interest, and penalties, and the authorities could claim various withholding requirements apply to us or our subsidiaries or assert 
benefits of tax treaties are not available to us or our subsidiaries, any of which could have a material impact on us and the 
results of our operations.

(cid:21)ur ability to use net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had gross U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, or NO(cid:38)s, of (cid:3)2(cid:18)(cid:22).(cid:22) million 

and (cid:3)2(cid:20)(cid:21).(cid:18) million, respectively, available to offset future taxable income. NO(cid:38)s generated in tax years ended on or prior to 
(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) will substantially expire by 2(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:22) if unused. As a result of certain provisions in the Tax Cuts and (cid:36)obs Act of 
2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22), or the TC(cid:36)A, as modified by the Coronavirus Aid, (cid:44)elief, and Economic Security Act, or CA(cid:44)ES Act, federal NO(cid:38)s 
generated in tax years beginning after (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) may be carried forward indefinitely but, in the case of tax years 
beginning after 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), may only be used to offset 8(cid:15)(cid:4) of our taxable income annually. Under the provisions of the Internal 
(cid:44)evenue Code of (cid:16)(cid:24)8(cid:21), as amended, or the Internal (cid:44)evenue Code, substantial changes in our ownership may limit the amount 
of pre-change NO(cid:38)s that can be utilized annually in the future to offset taxable income. Section (cid:18)82 of the Internal (cid:44)evenue 
Code imposes limitations on a company’s ability to use NO(cid:38)s if a company experiences a more-than-(cid:20)(cid:15)-percent ownership 
change over a three-year testing period. (cid:28)ased upon our analysis as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we have determined we do not 
expect these limitations to impair our ability to use our NO(cid:38)s prior to expiration. (cid:34)owever, if changes in our ownership occur 
in the future, our ability to use our NO(cid:38)s may be further limited. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material 
portion of the NO(cid:38)s, even if we achieve profitability.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we also had gross foreign NO(cid:38)s of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:21)(cid:18).(cid:19) million, primarily at our Swiss subsidiary, Appian 
Software International. We had gross foreign NO(cid:38) expirations of (cid:3)8.(cid:16) million in 2(cid:15)22, and a piece of our foreign NO(cid:38)s will 

(cid:18)(cid:16)

continue to expire each year if unutilized. If we are limited in our ability to use our NO(cid:38)s in future years in which we have 
taxable income, we will pay more taxes than if we were able to fully utilize our NO(cid:38)s. This could adversely affect our 
operating results and the market price of our Class A common stock.

(cid:14)orecasting our estimated annual effective tax rate for financial accounting purposes is complex and subject to 

uncertainty(cid:4) and there may be material differences between our forecasted and actual tax rates.

Forecasts of our income tax position and effective tax rate for financial accounting purposes are complex and subject to 
uncertainty because our income tax position for each year combines the effects of a mix of profits earned and losses incurred by 
us in various tax jurisdictions with a broad range of income tax rates, as well as changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets 
and liabilities, the impact of various accounting rules and changes to these rules and tax laws, the results of examinations by 
various tax authorities, and the impact of any acquisition, business combination, or other reorganization or financing 
transaction. To forecast our global tax rate, we estimate our pre-tax profits and losses by jurisdiction and forecast our tax 
expense by jurisdiction. If the mix of profits and losses, our ability to use tax credits, or effective tax rates by jurisdiction is 
different than those estimated, our actual tax rate could be materially different than forecasted, which could have a material 
impact on our results of business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting(cid:4) and any 
failure to maintain the ade(cid:45)uacy of these internal controls may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and(cid:4) as 
a result(cid:4) the value of our (cid:11)lass (cid:9) common stock.

We are required, pursuant to Section (cid:19)(cid:15)(cid:19) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section (cid:19)(cid:15)(cid:19), to furnish a report by management on, 

among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an annual basis. This assessment 
includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. 

(cid:30)uring the evaluation and testing process of our internal controls, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our 
internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert our internal control over financial reporting is effective. 
While we have established certain procedures and controls over our financial reporting processes, we cannot provide assurance 
these efforts will prevent restatements of our financial statements in the future. Our independent registered public accounting 
firm is also required, pursuant to Section (cid:19)(cid:15)(cid:19), to attest to and report on management(cid:6)s assessment of our internal control over 
financial reporting, which report is included elsewhere in this Annual (cid:44)eport on Form (cid:16)(cid:15)-(cid:37). This assessment is required to 
include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. For 
future reporting periods, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is 
not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed, or operating. We may not be able to remediate any 
future material weaknesses or to complete our evaluation, testing, and any required remediation in a timely fashion.

Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our 

financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to conclude our internal control over financial reporting is 
effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines we have a material weakness in our internal 
control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, 
the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the 
Nasdaq Stock Market, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control 
over financial reporting or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies could also 
restrict our future access to the capital markets.

Risks Related to Our (cid:24)lass (cid:22) (cid:24)o(cid:62)(cid:62)on (cid:40)tock

(cid:25)he dual class structure of our common stock and the existing ownership of capital stock by (cid:19)att (cid:11)alkins(cid:4) our founder 

and (cid:11)hief (cid:13)xecutive (cid:21)fficer(cid:4) has the effect of concentrating voting control with (cid:19)r. (cid:11)alkins for the foreseeable future(cid:4) 
which will limit the ability of others to influence corporate matters.

Our Class (cid:28) common stock has ten votes per share, and our Class A common stock has one vote per share. Given the 
greater number of votes per share attributed to our Class (cid:28) common stock, our Class (cid:28) stockholders collectively beneficially 
owned shares representing approximately 88(cid:4) of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. 
Further, Mr. Calkins, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, together with his affiliates, collectively beneficially owned 

(cid:18)2

shares representing approximately 8(cid:16)(cid:4) of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. 
Consequently, Mr. Calkins, together with his affiliates, is able to control a majority of the voting power even if their stock 
holdings represent as few as approximately 2(cid:19)(cid:4) of the outstanding number of shares of our common stock. This concentrated 
control will limit the ability of others to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future. For example, Mr. Calkins will be 
able to control elections of directors, amendments of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, increases to the number of 
shares available for issuance under our equity incentive plans or adoption of new equity incentive plans, and approval of any 
merger or sale of assets for the foreseeable future. This concentrated control could also discourage a potential investor from 
acquiring our Class A common stock due to the limited voting power of such stock relative to the Class (cid:28) common stock and 
might harm the market price of our Class A common stock. In addition, Mr. Calkins has the ability to control the management 
and major strategic investments of our company as a result of his position as our Chief Executive Officer and his ability to 
control the election or replacement of our directors. As a board member and officer, Mr. Calkins owes a fiduciary duty to our 
stockholders and must act in good faith in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of our stockholders. 
(cid:34)owever, as a stockholder, even a controlling stockholder, Mr. Calkins is entitled to vote his shares, and shares over which he 
has voting control, in his own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders generally.

Future transfers by Mr. Calkins and other holders of Class (cid:28) common stock will generally result in those shares converting 
on a (cid:16)(cid:25)(cid:16) basis to Class A common stock, which will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those 
holders of Class (cid:28) common stock who retain their shares in the long-term.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future so any returns will depend on 

appreciation in the price of our (cid:11)lass (cid:9) common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to pay any cash dividends 
in the foreseeable future. Although we paid a cash dividend in connection with the conversion of our Series A preferred stock to 
Class (cid:28) common stock immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, which was agreed to at the time of the original issuance of 
the Series A preferred stock, we anticipate we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business 
and for general corporate purposes. Additionally, our ability to pay dividends on our common stock is limited by restrictions 
under the terms of our credit agreement with Silicon (cid:48)alley (cid:28)ank. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at 
the discretion of our (cid:28)oard of (cid:30)irectors. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their Class A common stock after price 
appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.

(cid:9)nti(cid:5)takeover provisions in our charter documents and under (cid:12)elaware law could make an ac(cid:45)uisition of us more 
difficult(cid:4) limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management(cid:4) and limit the market price of our 
(cid:11)lass (cid:9) common stock.

In addition to the effects of our dual class structure, provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and 
amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or changes in our management. 
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions that may frustrate or 
prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for 
stockholders to replace members of our (cid:28)oard of (cid:30)irectors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our 
management. In addition, because we are incorporated in (cid:30)elaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 2(cid:15)(cid:18) of the 
(cid:30)elaware General Corporation (cid:38)aw, which generally prohibit a (cid:30)elaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of 
business combinations with any (cid:84)interested(cid:85) stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder 
became an (cid:84)interested(cid:85) stockholder. Any of the foregoing provisions could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in 
the future for shares of our Class A common stock, and they could deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing 
the likelihood a stockholder would receive a premium for its shares of our Class A common stock in an acquisition.

(cid:21)ur amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the (cid:11)ourt of (cid:11)hancery of the (cid:24)tate of (cid:12)elaware as the 
exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders(cid:4) which could limit our stockholders(cid:58) ability to 
obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us and limit the market price of our (cid:11)lass (cid:9) common stock.

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an 
alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of (cid:30)elaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) any derivative 
action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (cid:7)2(cid:8) 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, (cid:7)(cid:18)(cid:8) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any

certificate of incorporation also provides the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum 
for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Our amended and restated certificate of 
incorporation further provides any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our Class A 
common stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing provisions. The forum selection clause in our 
amended and restated certificate of incorporation may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for 
disputes with us and limit the market price of our Class A common stock.

(cid:28)eneral risk (cid:55)actors

(cid:26)nfavorable conditions in the global economy or the vertical markets we serve could limit our ability to grow our 

business and negatively affect our operating results.

General worldwide economic conditions have experienced significant instability due to the global economic uncertainty 
and financial market conditions caused by the CO(cid:48)I(cid:30)-(cid:16)(cid:24) pandemic and the ongoing (cid:44)ussia-Ukraine war. In addition, inflation 
rates have recently risen to historically high levels. The existence of inflation in the U.S. and global economy has, and may 
continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, increased costs of labor, fluctuating exchange rates, and other 
similar effects.

These conditions make it extremely difficult for customers and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities 

and could cause customers to reduce or delay their software spending. At this time, the potential impact on customer spend 
from an economic slowdown is difficult to predict and, therefore, it is not possible to fully determine the impact on our future 
results. (cid:34)istorically, economic downturns have resulted in overall reductions in software spending. If macroeconomic 
conditions deteriorate or are characterized by uncertainty or volatility, customers may curtail or freeze spending on software in 
general and for software such as ours specifically, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and 
operating results.

We have historically generated a majority of our revenue from customers in the financial services, government, and life 

sciences verticals. While these verticals have not been affected as severely by weak economic conditions as the retail, 
hospitality, and entertainment industries, we cannot provide assurance these verticals will not suffer more severe losses in the 
future. Furthermore, we cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown or recovery. In addition, 
even if the overall economy is robust, we cannot provide assurance the market for services such as ours will experience growth 
or that we will experience growth.

(cid:21)ur stock price has been volatile and may be volatile in the future.

The market price of our Class A common stock has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate substantially as a result of a 

variety of factors. Since shares of our Class A common stock were sold in our initial public offering, or IPO, in May 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) at a 
price of (cid:3)(cid:16)2.(cid:15)(cid:15) per share, our stock price has ranged from an intraday low of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19).(cid:21)(cid:15) to an intraday high of (cid:3)2(cid:21)(cid:15).(cid:15)(cid:15) through 
February (cid:16)(cid:18), 2(cid:15)2(cid:18). Factors that may affect the market price of our Class A common stock and our ability to raise capital 
through the sale of additional equity securities include(cid:25)

Changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of our market(cid:26) and

General economic, regulatory, and market conditions.

The stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the 
market prices of equity securities of many companies, particularly during this time of uncertainty with increasing interest rates, 
inflation, and the prospects of a recession. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating 
performance of those companies. (cid:28)road market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory, and 
market conditions, may negatively impact the market price of our Class A common stock. In the past, companies that have 
experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the 
target of this type of litigation in the future, which could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention.

(cid:17)f securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business(cid:4) or publish negative reports 

about our business(cid:4) our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Class A common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports securities or industry 
analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If our financial performance fails to 
meet analyst estimates or one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our shares, 
our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish 
reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

On May 2(cid:24), 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), we filed a civil complaint against Pegasystems, Inc. (cid:7)(cid:84)Pegasystems(cid:85)(cid:8) and (cid:51)ouyong (cid:52)ou, a (cid:48)irginia 
resident, in the Circuit Court for Fairfax County, (cid:48)irginia. Appian Corp v. Pegasystems Inc. (cid:5) (cid:51)ouyong (cid:52)ou, No. 2(cid:15)2(cid:15)-(cid:15)(cid:22)2(cid:16)(cid:21) 
(cid:7)Fairfax Cty. Ct.(cid:8). On May (cid:16)(cid:15), 2(cid:15)22, we announced the jury awarded us (cid:3)2.(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:21) billion in damages for misappropriation of our 
trade secrets and (cid:3)(cid:16) in damages for violating the (cid:48)irginia Computer Crimes Act. Pegasystems filed several post-trial motions 
seeking relief in the form of reducing the damages award or setting aside the jury’s verdict and either granting a new trial or 
entering judgment in Pegasystems’ favor. All of these motions were denied, and final judgment was entered by the Court on 
September (cid:16)(cid:20), 2(cid:15)22. The final judgment reaffirmed the (cid:3)2.(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:21) billion in damages and also ordered Pegasystems to pay Appian 
(cid:3)2(cid:18).(cid:21) million in attorney(cid:6)s fees associated with the case as well as statutory post-judgment interest on the judgment at an annual 
rate of (cid:21)(cid:4), or approximately (cid:3)(cid:16)22.(cid:15) million per year. 

(cid:30)efendant (cid:51)ouyong (cid:52)ou has satisfied the judgment of (cid:3)(cid:20),(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15) (cid:7)plus interest(cid:8) against him in lieu of appealing that judgment. 

On September (cid:16)(cid:20), 2(cid:15)22, Pegasystems filed a notice of appeal, and on February (cid:21), 2(cid:15)2(cid:18), Pegasystems filed its opening brief 
with the Court of Appeals of (cid:48)irginia. Appian expects to file its responsive brief in March 2(cid:15)2(cid:18), to which Pegasystems will file 
a reply brief. After submission of the reply brief, the timeline of the case is solely within the control of the Court of Appeals 
until it rules. Pegasystems is not required to pay us the judgment, attorney’s fees, or post-judgment interest until all appeals are 
exhausted. We cannot predict the outcome of any appeals or the time it will take to resolve them. Consistent with other 
judgments, there is no guarantee we will be able to collect all or any portion of the judgment.

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of 

our business. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual (cid:44)eport, 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, 
operating results, financial condition, or cash flows. (cid:44)egardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us 
because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management time and resources, and other factors.

O(cid:71)er(cid:71)ie(cid:72)

Appian is a software company that automates business processes. The Appian Platform includes everything you need to 

design, automate, and optimize even the most complex processes, from start to finish. The world(cid:6)s most innovative 
organizations trust Appian to improve their workflows, unify data, and optimize operations(cid:83)resulting in better growth and 
superior customer experiences.

We have generated the majority of our revenue from sales of subscriptions, which include (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) cloud subscriptions bundled 

with maintenance and support and hosting services and (cid:7)2(cid:8) term license subscriptions bundled with maintenance and support. 
Our subscription contracts are priced based primarily on the number of users who access and utilize the applications built on 
our platform or, alternatively, non-user based single application licenses. Our subscription contract terms generally vary from 
one to three years with most providing for payment in advance on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis. (cid:30)ue to the variability 
of our billing terms and the episodic nature of our customers purchasing additional subscriptions, we do not believe changes in 
our deferred revenue in a given period are directly correlated with our revenue growth.

We have invested in our Customer Success organization to help ensure customers are able to build and deploy applications 

on our platform. We have several strategic partnerships, including with (cid:37)PMG, Accenture, PwC, E(cid:51), Infosys, Wipro, and 
(cid:30)eloitte, which allow them to refer customers to us in order to purchase subscriptions and then our partners provide 
professional services directly to the customers using our platform. We intend to further grow our base of strategic partners to 
provide broader customer coverage and solution delivery capabilities. In addition, over time we expect our professional services 
revenue as a percentage of total revenue to decline as we increasingly rely on strategic partners to help our customers deploy 
our software. We believe our investment in professional services, including strategic partners building their practices around 
Appian, will drive increased adoption of our platform.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had (cid:24)2(cid:20) customers in a variety of industries, of which (cid:22)(cid:16)2 customers were commercial and 

2(cid:16)(cid:18) customers were government or non-commercial entities. Our customers include financial services, government, life 
sciences, insurance, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, telecommunications, and transportation organizations. Generally, our 
sales team targets its efforts to organizations with over 2,(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15) employees and (cid:3)2 billion in annual revenue. (cid:44)evenue from 
government agencies represented (cid:16)(cid:24).2(cid:4), (cid:16)(cid:24).(cid:21)(cid:4), and (cid:16)8.(cid:16)(cid:4) of our total revenue in 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), respectively. No 
single end-customer accounted for more than (cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:4) of our total revenue in 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15).

in multinational organizations. In 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), (cid:18)(cid:18).(cid:20)(cid:4), (cid:18)(cid:19).(cid:15)(cid:4), and (cid:18)(cid:18).8(cid:4), respectively, of our total revenue was 
generated from customers outside of the United States. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we operated in (cid:16)(cid:20) countries. We believe we 
have a significant opportunity to continue to grow our international footprint. We are investing in new geographies, including 
through investment in direct and indirect sales channels, professional services, and customer support and implementation 
partners.

respectively.

We have invested in developing our platform, expanding our sales and marketing and research and development 

capabilities, and providing general and administrative resources to support our growth. We intend to continue to invest in our 

(cid:19)(cid:15)

business to take advantage of our market opportunity. As a result, we incurred net losses of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:20)(cid:15).(cid:24) million, (cid:3)88.(cid:21) million, and 
(cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:18).(cid:20) million in 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), respectively. We also used cash in operations of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:21).(cid:21) million, (cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:18).(cid:24) million, and (cid:3)(cid:22).(cid:21)

Our (cid:23)usiness (cid:34)odel

Our business model focuses on maximizing the lifetime value of customer relationships, which is a function of the duration 

of a customer’s deployment of our platform as well as the price and number of subscriptions of our platform a customer 
purchases. We incur significant customer acquisition costs, including expenses associated with hiring new sales representatives, 
who can take anywhere from six months to a year to become productive given the length of our sales cycle, and marketing 
costs, with the exception of sales commissions, are expensed as incurred.

At the same time, we believe the costs we incur to retain customers and drive additional purchases of software are lower 
than our customer acquisition costs on a relative basis. Over time, we expect a large portion of our customers to renew their 
subscriptions and purchase additional subscriptions as they continue to build more applications and add more users to our 
platform. Over the last three completed fiscal years, we had an average cloud subscription gross revenue renewal rate of (cid:24)(cid:24)(cid:4), 
which is calculated by dividing (cid:7)i(cid:8) the cloud subscription revenue from renewing cloud customers in the current (cid:16)2-month 
period that were cloud customers during the entirety of the prior (cid:16)2-month period, giving effect to price increases but excluding 
additional cloud subscription for additional users, or upsells, by (cid:7)ii(cid:8) our cloud subscription revenue from all cloud customers in 
the corresponding prior (cid:16)2-month period that were cloud customers during the entirety of such prior (cid:16)2-month period. 

We measure the effectiveness of our business model by comparing the lifetime value of our customer relationships to our 

customer acquisition costs. On a rolling (cid:16)2-month basis, we estimate that for each of the past five fiscal years, the average 
lifetime value of a customer has exceeded (cid:22)x the associated average cost of acquiring them, including the year ended 
(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22.

The following are several key factors that affect our performance(cid:25)

(cid:55) (cid:19)arket (cid:9)doption of (cid:21)ur (cid:22)latform. Our ability to grow our customer base and drive market adoption of our platform is 
affected by the pace at which organizations digitally transform. We expect our revenue growth will be primarily driven 
by the pace of adoption and penetration of our platform. We offer a leading custom software platform and intend to 
continue to invest to expand our customer base. The degree to which prospective customers recognize the need for our 
software platform that enables organizations to digitally transform, and subsequently allocate budget dollars to 
purchase our software, will drive our ability to acquire new customers and increase sales to existing customers, which, 
in turn, will affect our future financial performance.

(cid:81)

(cid:15)rowth of (cid:21)ur (cid:11)ustomer (cid:10)ase. We believe we have a substantial opportunity to grow our customer base. We define a 
customer as an entity with an active subscription or maintenance and support contract or a legacy perpetual license as 
of the specified measurement date. Furthermore, we define a new customer as an entity that has entered into its first 
active subscription or maintenance and support contract within one calendar year of the specified measurement date 
while existing customers are defined as entities that have maintained an active subscription or maintenance and 
support contract for at least one calendar year from the specified measurement date. (cid:38)egacy customers from entities 
acquired in business combinations are not counted as new customers until they enter into a new active subscription or 
maintenance and support contract with us subsequent to the completion of the business combination. Additionally, to 
the extent we contract with one or more entities under common control, we count those entities as separate customers. 

We have aggressively invested, and intend to continue to invest, in our sales team in order to drive sales to new 
customers. We continue to make investments to enhance the expertise of our sales and marketing organization within 
our key industry verticals of financial services, government, and life sciences. In addition, we have established 
relationships with strategic partners who work with organizations undergoing digital transformations. We had a total 
customer count of (cid:24)2(cid:20), 8(cid:16)(cid:21), and (cid:21)(cid:24)(cid:18) as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), respectively. Our number of customers 
with active software subscription agreements was 8(cid:24)(cid:21), (cid:22)8(cid:18), and (cid:21)(cid:20)(cid:19) as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15),

ourselves within the increasingly competitive markets in which we participate.

(cid:55)

(cid:14)urther (cid:22)enetration of (cid:13)xisting (cid:11)ustomers. Our sales team seeks to generate additional revenue from existing 
customers by adding new users to our platform. Many of our customers begin by building a single application and then 
grow to build dozens of applications on our platform. Generally, the development of new applications on our platform 
results in the expansion of our user base within an organization and a corresponding increase in revenue. As a result of 
this (cid:84)land and expand(cid:85) strategy, we have generated significant additional revenue from our customer base. Our ability 
to increase sales to existing customers will depend on a number of factors, including the size of our sales and 
professional services teams, customers’ level of satisfaction with our platform and professional services, pricing, 
economic conditions, and our customers’ overall spending levels. We have also re-focused some of our professional 
services personnel to become customer success managers. Their role is to ensure customers realize value from our 
platform and support strategic partners and the (cid:84)land and expand(cid:85) strategy versus delivering billable hours.

(cid:55) (cid:19)ix of (cid:24)ubscriptions and (cid:22)rofessional (cid:24)ervices (cid:23)evenue. We believe our professional services have driven customer 

success and facilitated the adoption of our platform by customers. (cid:30)uring the initial period of deployment by a 
customer, we generally provide a greater amount of support in building applications and training than later in the 
deployment, with a typical engagement lasting from two to six months. At the same time, many of our customers have 
historically purchased subscriptions only for a limited set of their total potential end users. As a result of these factors, 
the proportion of total revenue for a customer associated with professional services is relatively high during the initial 
deployment period. Over time, as the need for professional services associated with user deployments decreases and 
the number of end users increases, we expect subscriptions revenue as a percentage of total revenue to increase. In 
addition, we continue to grow our base of strategic partners to provide broader customer coverage and solution 
delivery capabilities. These partners perform professional services with respect to any new service contracts they 
originate. As the usage of partners expands, we expect the proportion of our total revenue from subscriptions to 
increase over time relative to professional services. In 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), (cid:22)2.(cid:22)(cid:4), (cid:22)(cid:16).(cid:19)(cid:4), and (cid:21)(cid:20).2(cid:4) of our

respectively, was derived from the sale of professional services.

(cid:17)nvestments in (cid:15)rowth. We have made, and plan to continue to make, investments for long-term growth, including 
investing in our platform and infrastructure to continuously maximize their power and speed, meet the evolving needs 
of our customers, and take advantage of our market opportunity. In addition, we continue to pursue strategic 
acquisitions that enhance our product offerings. We also intend to continue to invest in sales and marketing as we 
further expand our sales teams, increase our marketing activities, and grow our international operations. 

(cid:40)easonality

We have historically experienced seasonality in terms of when we enter into agreements with customers. We typically enter 

into a significantly higher percentage of agreements with new customers, as well as renewal agreements with existing 
customers, in the fourth quarter. The increase in customer agreements for the fourth quarter is attributable to large enterprise 
account buying patterns typical in the software industry. Furthermore, we usually enter into a significant portion of agreements 
with customers during the last month of each quarter, and often the last two weeks of each quarter. (cid:34)owever, we recognize the 
majority of our subscriptions revenue ratably over the terms of our subscription agreements, which are generally one to three 
years in length. As a result, a substantial portion of the subscriptions revenue we report in each period will be derived from the 
recognition of deferred revenue relating to agreements entered into during previous periods. Consequently, a decline in new 
sales or renewals in any one period may not be immediately reflected in our revenue results for that period. Such a decline, 
however, will negatively affect our revenue in future periods. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and 
market acceptance of our platform and potential changes in our rate of renewals may not be fully reflected in our results of 
operations until future periods.

While we will continue to recognize the majority of our subscriptions revenue ratably over the terms of our subscription 
agreements, we may experience greater variability and reduced comparability of our quarterly revenue and results with respect 
to the timing and nature of our term license subscription agreements due to the upfront revenue recognition. See Note (cid:18) to the 
consolidated financial statements for further details on our revenue recognition policies.

Cloud subscription revenue includes cloud subscriptions bundled with maintenance and support and hosting services. In

cloud subscription revenue for any customer is primarily determined by the number of users who access and utilize the 
applications built on our platform or by the number of application licenses purchased, as well as the price paid. We believe 
increasing cloud subscription revenue is an indicator of the demand for our platform, the pace at which the market for our 
solutions is growing, the productivity of our sales team and strategic relationships in growing our customer base, and our ability 
to further penetrate our existing customer base.

A key factor to our success is the renewal and expansion of subscription agreements with our existing customers. We 
calculate this metric over a set of customers who have been with us for at least one full year. To calculate our cloud subscription 
revenue retention rate for a particular trailing (cid:16)2-month period, we first establish the recurring cloud subscription revenue for 
the previous trailing (cid:16)2-month period. This effectively represents recurring dollars we should expect in the current trailing (cid:16)2-
month period from the cohort of customers from the previous trailing (cid:16)2-month period without any expansion or contraction. 
We subsequently measure the recurring cloud subscription revenue in the current trailing (cid:16)2-month period from the cohort of 
customers from the previous trailing (cid:16)2-month period. Cloud subscription revenue retention rate is then calculated by dividing 
the aggregate recurring cloud subscription revenue in the current trailing (cid:16)2-month period by the previous trailing (cid:16)2-month 
period. This calculation includes the combined impact on our revenue from customer non-renewals, pricing changes, and 
growth in the number of users on our platform. Our cloud subscription revenue retention rate can fluctuate from period to 
period due to large customer contracts in any given period. 

(cid:32)ey (cid:24)o(cid:62)ponents o(cid:55) Results o(cid:55) Operations

We generate revenue primarily through sales of subscriptions to our platform as well as professional services. We generally 

sell our software on a per-user basis or through non-user based single application licenses. We generally bill customers and 
collect payment for subscriptions to our platform in advance on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis. In certain instances, we 
have had customers pay their entire contract value up front.

(cid:23)evenue

Our revenue is comprised of the following(cid:25)

(cid:29)ubscriptions

Subscriptions revenue is primarily derived from cloud subscriptions bundled with maintenance and support and hosting 

services and on-premises term license subscriptions bundled with maintenance and support. Our maintenance and support 
agreements provide customers with the right to unspecified software upgrades, maintenance releases and patches released 

(cid:19)(cid:18)

during the term of the maintenance and support agreement on a when-and-if-available basis, and rights to technical support. On-
premises term license subscriptions are offered when the customer prefers to self-manage the deployment of our platform 
within their own infrastructure. When our platform is delivered as a cloud subscription, we manage operational needs in third-
party hosted data centers.

(cid:27)rofessional (cid:29)ervices

Our professional services revenue is comprised of fees for consulting services, including application development, 

deployment assistance, and training related to our platform. Over time, we expect professional services revenue as a percentage 
of total revenue to decrease as the usage of our partner network expands.

(cid:11)ost of (cid:23)evenue

(cid:29)ubscriptions

Cost of subscriptions revenue consists primarily of fees paid to our third-party managed hosting providers and other third-

party service providers, personnel costs, including payroll and benefits for our technology operations and customer support 
teams, amortization of developed technology, and allocated overhead costs. We expect cost of revenue to continue to increase 
in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future as our customer base grows.

(cid:27)rofessional (cid:29)ervices

Cost of professional services revenue includes all direct and indirect costs to deliver our professional services and training, 

including employee compensation for our global professional services and training personnel, third-party contractor costs, 
allocated overhead costs, and the costs of billable expenses such as travel and lodging. The unpredictability of the timing of 
providing services related to significant professional services agreements sold on a standalone basis may cause significant 
fluctuations in our cost of professional services which, in turn, may impact our financial results.

(cid:15)ross (cid:22)rofit and (cid:15)ross (cid:19)argin

Gross profit and gross margin (cid:7)defined as gross profit as a percentage of total revenue(cid:8), have been, and will continue to be, 

affected by various factors, including the mix of cloud subscriptions and on-premises term license subscriptions, the mix of 
total subscriptions revenue and professional services revenue, subscription pricing, the costs associated with third-party hosting 
providers, and the extent to which we expand our professional services to support future growth. Our gross margin may 
fluctuate from period to period based on the above factors.

(cid:29)ubscriptions (cid:20)ross (cid:24)argin 

Subscriptions gross margin is primarily affected by the growth in our subscriptions revenue as compared to the growth in, 

and timing of, costs to support such revenue. We expect to continue to invest in customer support and cloud operations to 
support growth in our business, and the timing of those investments is expected to cause subscriptions gross margin to fluctuate 
on a quarterly basis.

(cid:27)rofessional (cid:29)ervices (cid:20)ross (cid:24)argin

Professional services gross margin is affected by the growth in our professional services revenue as compared to the 
growth in, and timing of, the cost of our Customer Success organization as we continue to invest in the growth of our business. 
Professional services gross margin is also impacted by the amount of services performed by subcontractors and partners as 
opposed to internal resources. In 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we had a lower usage of subcontractors and performed fewer in-person professional 
services engagements and deployments, both of which reduced certain classes of expenses and improved professional services 
margins. In 2(cid:15)22, these margins began to decline. In 2(cid:15)2(cid:18), we expect professional services gross margin to be consistent with 
2(cid:15)22(cid:26) however, the margin remains subject to fluctuation based on the factors discussed above.

Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses. 
Personnel-related costs such as salaries, bonuses, commissions, payroll tax payments, and stock-based compensation expense 
are the most significant components of each of these expense categories. Other components of each category include 
professional fees for third-party services such as contract labor, legal, software development resources, and consulting as well 
as allocated overhead costs, which can include, among other types of costs, facility costs, travel and entertainment expenditures, 
human resources costs such as placement fees, referral bonuses, training costs, and employee relations spending, office-related 
expenditures, and information technology costs for such items as infrastructure, software, and cloud computing services.

In general, our operating expenses are expected to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we invest resources in 

growing our various teams. Our total employee headcount grew from (cid:16),(cid:22)(cid:24)8 employees at (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to 2,(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:22) 
employees at (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. We expect to continue to hire new employees in order to support our anticipated revenue 
growth, although at a more measured rate than prior years.

(cid:29)ales and (cid:24)arketing (cid:18)(cid:55)pense

Sales and marketing expense primarily includes personnel costs, including salaries, bonuses, commissions, stock-based 
compensation, and other personnel costs related to sales teams. Additional major expenses in this category include travel and 
entertainment, marketing activities and promotional events, subcontracting fees, and allocated overhead costs.

The number of employees in sales and marketing functions grew from (cid:20)(cid:20)2 at (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to (cid:22)(cid:18)(cid:15) at (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 
2(cid:15)22. In order to continue to grow our business, geographical footprint, and brand awareness, we expect to continue investing 
resources in sales and marketing by increasing the number of sales and account management teams. As a result, we expect sales 
and marketing expense to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest to acquire new customers and further expand 
usage of our platform within our existing customer base.

Research and (cid:17)evelopment (cid:18)(cid:55)pense

(cid:44)esearch and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs for our employees who develop and enhance our 

platform, including salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, and other personnel costs. Also included are non-personnel 
costs such as subcontracting, consulting, and professional fees to third party development resources, and allocated overhead 
costs.

Our research and development efforts are focused on enhancing the capabilities, speed, and power of our software 
platform. The number of employees in research and development functions grew from (cid:19)88 at (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to (cid:21)(cid:20)2 at 
(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. A portion of our headcount growth in 2(cid:15)22 was attributable to a new product development center opened 
in India. Although we expect research and development expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as such costs are 
critical to maintain and improve the quality of applications and our competitive position, we believe our new product 
development center will result in cost savings over time.

(cid:20)eneral and Administrative (cid:18)(cid:55)pense

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries, bonuses, stock-based 
compensation, and other personnel costs for our administrative, legal, information technology, human resources, finance and 
accounting, as well as our senior executives. Additional expenses included in this category are non-personnel costs such as 
travel-related expenses, contracting and professional fees for such services as audits, taxation, and legal, insurance and other 
corporate expenses, including allocated overhead costs, and bad debt expenses.

The number of employees in general and administrative functions grew from 22(cid:19) at (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to (cid:18)(cid:16)(cid:21) at 

(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. Additionally, we incurred significant legal costs in 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) and 2(cid:15)22 in connection with two separate lawsuits 
involving an effort to enforce our intellectual property and to defend against reciprocal false advertising and related claims with 
a competitor. In 2(cid:15)2(cid:18), we expect general and administrative expense to decrease in absolute dollars largely due to an anticipated 
decline in legal costs.

Total revenue increased (cid:3)(cid:24)8.(cid:22) million, or 2(cid:21).(cid:22)(cid:4), in 2(cid:15)22 compared to 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) due to an increase in our subscriptions revenue 

of (cid:3)(cid:22)(cid:21).(cid:19) million and an increase in our professional services revenue of (cid:3)22.(cid:18) million. The increase in subscriptions revenue 
was driven by a (cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:22).(cid:20) million increase in cloud subscription revenue, a (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:21).(cid:21) million increase in on-premises software revenue, 
and a (cid:3)2.(cid:19) million increase in maintenance and support revenue. With respect to new versus existing customers, (cid:3)(cid:21)(cid:18).2 million 
of the increase in subscriptions revenue was derived from expanded deployments and corresponding sales of additional 
subscriptions to existing customers while (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:18).2 million was driven from sales of subscriptions to new customers. The increase 
in professional services revenue was due to a (cid:3)(cid:24).2 million increase in revenue from existing customers coupled with a (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:18).(cid:16) 
million increase in sales to new customers.

Cost of revenue increased (cid:3)2(cid:24).2 million, or 28.(cid:16)(cid:4), in 2(cid:15)22 compared to 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), primarily due to a (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:22).2 million increase in 

professional services and product support personnel costs, a (cid:3)(cid:20).(cid:24) million increase in other cost of revenue, a (cid:3)2.(cid:24) million 
increase in contractor costs, a (cid:3)(cid:16).8 million increase in travel and entertainment expenses, and a (cid:3)(cid:16).(cid:19) million increase in 
overhead costs. Personnel costs increased due to an increase in professional services and product support personnel headcount 
of (cid:16)(cid:19).(cid:15)(cid:4) from (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 in addition to increased wages and fringe benefits, coupled with a 
(cid:3)2.(cid:15) million increase in stock-based compensation. The increase in other cost of revenue was driven by increased hosting costs 
as sales of our cloud offering grew in 2(cid:15)22, while the increase in overhead costs was due largely to an increase in certain 
allocated costs tied to our growth such as spending for offices, human resources costs, and information technology expenses as 
well as allocated depreciation and amortization. Contractor costs increased in 2(cid:15)22 compared to 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) due to an increase in the 
usage of subcontractors for professional service engagements. Travel and entertainment expenses increased primarily as a result 
of an increasing shift towards in-person engagements and activities as CO(cid:48)I(cid:30) restrictions eased in 2(cid:15)22.

Subscriptions gross margin was 8(cid:24).(cid:19)(cid:4) in 2(cid:15)22 as compared to 8(cid:24).(cid:21)(cid:4) in 2(cid:15)2(cid:16). Professional services gross margin 
decreased to 2(cid:18).(cid:24)(cid:4) in 2(cid:15)22 compared to 2(cid:22).(cid:18)(cid:4) in 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) due to higher personnel and allocated resources costs in 2(cid:15)22. These 
cost increases were partially offset by higher professional services revenue. Additionally, fewer in-person professional services 
engagements and deployments and a lower usage of subcontractors in 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) led to temporarily improved margins in the prior 
year driven by impacts from the CO(cid:48)I(cid:30)-(cid:16)(cid:24) pandemic. Total gross margin fell slightly to (cid:22)(cid:16).(cid:20)(cid:4) in 2(cid:15)22 as compared to (cid:22)(cid:16).8(cid:4) 
in 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) driven largely by the higher cost of professional services revenue.

Sales and marketing expense increased (cid:3)(cid:20)2.(cid:20) million, or (cid:18)(cid:16).(cid:18)(cid:4), in 2(cid:15)22 compared to 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), primarily due to a (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:18).(cid:18) 
million increase in sales and marketing personnel costs, a (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:18).(cid:22) million increase in overhead costs, and a (cid:3)(cid:22).2 million increase 
in marketing costs. These increases were partially offset by a (cid:3)(cid:16).(cid:22) million decrease in professional fees. Personnel costs 
increased due to an increase in sales and marketing personnel headcount of (cid:18)2.2(cid:4) from (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 
2(cid:15)22 in addition to increased wages and fringe benefits, increased sales commissions driven by both contracts with new 
customers and renewals with existing customers, and a (cid:3)(cid:18).(cid:22) million increase in stock-based compensation expense. Overhead 
costs increased due to larger travel and entertainment expenses as return to office initiatives increased and more in-person sales 
and marketing events were held during 2(cid:15)22 as compared to 2(cid:15)2(cid:16). Additionally, allocated costs tied to our growth increased in 
such areas as facilities, information technology, and human resources. Marketing costs increased due to an increase in the 
number of marketing events held year over year as well as increased spending on advertising and lead generation. These 
increases were slightly offset by lesser spending on marketing materials. Professional fees decreased due to lower engagement 
of and fees paid to third-party marketing consultants.

(cid:3)(cid:16).(cid:21) million increase in professional fees. Personnel costs increased due to an increase in research and development personnel 
headcount of (cid:18)(cid:18).(cid:21)(cid:4) from (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 in addition to increased wages and fringe benefits, coupled 
with a (cid:3)(cid:22).(cid:18) million increase in stock-based compensation expense. Overhead costs increased due largely to higher allocated 
costs tied to our growth, such as information technology spending related to cloud computing, human resources costs, and 
office spending. Professional fees increased due to an increase in consulting services fees driven by higher usage of external 
resources to assist in our platform development efforts.

General and administrative expense increased (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:21).(cid:19) million, or (cid:19)(cid:18).(cid:20)(cid:4), in 2(cid:15)22 compared to 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), primarily due to a (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:20).(cid:19) 
million increase in general and administrative personnel costs, a (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15).(cid:24) million increase in professional fees, and a (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15).(cid:16) million 
increase in overhead costs. Personnel costs increased due to an increase in general and administrative personnel headcount of 
(cid:19)(cid:16).(cid:16)(cid:4) from (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) to (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 in addition to increased wages and fringe benefits, coupled with a (cid:3)2.(cid:15) 
million increase in stock compensation expense. Professional fees increased due largely to higher legal and consulting fees. 
Overhead costs increased primarily due to higher allocated costs tied to our growth in areas such as information technology 

(cid:19)(cid:24)

 
spending, human resources costs, and office spending as well as an increase in certain general corporate costs such as rent 
expense, depreciation, and bad debt expense.

(cid:23)acklo(cid:56)

(cid:28)acklog represents non-cancellable future amounts to be recognized under cloud and on-premises term license subscription 

agreements and is representative of our remaining performance obligations. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we 
had backlog of (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:22)(cid:21).(cid:20) million and (cid:3)28(cid:20).(cid:20) million, respectively. Approximately (cid:18)(cid:20)(cid:4) of our backlog as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 is 
not expected to be recognized in 2(cid:15)2(cid:18). Additionally, we expect backlog to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we 
continue to increase the number of cloud agreements we enter into. (cid:34)owever, the amount of backlog relative to the total value 
of our contracts can change from quarter to quarter and year to year for several reasons, including the specific timing and 
duration of cloud and term license subscription agreements with large customers, the specific timing of customer renewals, 
changes in customer financial circumstances, and foreign currency fluctuations. We often sign multiple-year cloud subscription 
agreements. (cid:28)acklog may vary based on changes in the average non-cancellable term of a cloud and on-premises term license 
subscription agreements.

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we 

provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial performance measures. We use these non-GAAP financial performance 

(cid:20)(cid:15)

measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Management 
believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by 
excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of its recurring core business operating results. We believe both 
management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and 
when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s 
internal comparisons to historical performance as well as comparisons to competitors’ operating results. We believe these non-
GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) they allow for greater transparency with respect to measures 
used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (cid:7)2(cid:8) they are used by institutional investors and the 
analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.

The non-GAAP financial performance measures include non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, and non-
GAAP operating loss. These non-GAAP financial performance measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation 
expense and certain litigation-related expenses consisting of legal and other professional fees which are not indicative of our 
core operating performance and are not part of our normal course of business. While these items may be recurring in nature and 
should not be disregarded in the evaluation of our earnings performance, it is useful to exclude such items when analyzing 
current results and trends compared to other periods as these items can vary significantly from period to period depending on 
specific underlying transactions or events that may occur. Therefore, while we may incur or recognize these types of expenses 
in the future, the Company believes removing these items for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures 
provides investors with a more focused presentation of our ongoing operating performance. 

 We also discuss adjusted E(cid:28)IT(cid:30)A, a non-GAAP financial performance measure we believes offers a useful view of the 

overall operation of its businesses. We define adjusted E(cid:28)IT(cid:30)A as net loss before (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) other expenses, net, (cid:7)2(cid:8) interest expense, 
(cid:7)(cid:18)(cid:8) income tax expense, (cid:7)(cid:19)(cid:8) depreciation and amortization, (cid:7)(cid:20)(cid:8) stock-based compensation expense, and (cid:7)(cid:21)(cid:8) litigation expenses 
directly associated with the Pegasystems cases. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted E(cid:28)IT(cid:30)A is 
net loss. Users should consider the limitations of using adjusted E(cid:28)IT(cid:30)A, including the fact this measure does not provide a 
complete measure of our operating performance. Adjusted E(cid:28)IT(cid:30)A is not intended to purport to be an alternate to net loss as a 
measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. 

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute 

for, or superior to the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures 
may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. 

The following tables reconcile our non-GAAP measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures. The reconciliation of 

GAAP operating loss to non-GAAP operating loss for the years ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15) is as follows (cid:7)in

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19)8.(cid:16) million of cash and cash equivalents and (cid:3)(cid:19)(cid:22).(cid:24) million of short-term investments 

and marketable securities. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and marketable 
securities, together with any positive cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our line of credit, will be 
sufficient to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next (cid:16)2 months. 

We recently have, and in the future may enter into, investments in or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products, 
or technologies, which could also require us to seek additional equity financing, incur indebtedness, or use cash resources. We 
have no present binding agreements or commitments to enter into any such acquisitions. If we are unable to raise additional 
capital when desired, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

(cid:24)ources of (cid:14)unds

 We have historically financed our operations in large part with equity financing arrangements. Through 2(cid:15)22, we have 
completed four public offerings and received net proceeds of (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:19)(cid:19).8 million. Outside of equity offerings, we have financed our 
operations through sales of subscriptions and professional services. 

To further help strengthen our financial position and support our growth initiatives, on November (cid:18), 2(cid:15)22 we entered into a 

new Senior Secured Credit Facilities Credit Agreement (cid:7)the (cid:84)Credit Agreement(cid:85)(cid:8) which provides for a five-year term loan 
facility in an aggregate principal amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:15).(cid:15) million and, in addition, up to (cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:15).(cid:15) million for a revolving credit facility, 
including a letter of credit sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:20).(cid:15) million and a swingline sub-facility in the 
aggregate availability amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15).(cid:15) million (cid:7)as a sublimit of the revolving loan facility(cid:8). On (cid:30)ecember (cid:16)(cid:18), 2(cid:15)22, we 
executed the first amendment to the credit agreement which increased the aggregate principal amount of the term loan facility 
by (cid:3)2(cid:15).(cid:15) million and increased the limit of the revolving facility by (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15).(cid:15) million.  

The new Credit Agreement matures on November (cid:18), 2(cid:15)2(cid:22). We will use the proceeds from the (cid:3)(cid:16)2(cid:15).(cid:15) million term loan to 

fund the continued growth of our business and support our working capital requirements. We were in compliance with all 
covenants as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit 
facility. The new Credit Agreement replaced our existing line of credit that was in place as of September (cid:18)(cid:15), 2(cid:15)22.

We expect future sources of funds to consist primarily of cash generated from sales of subscriptions and the related 

professional services. We may also elect to raise additional sources of funding through draws on our new revolving credit 
facility, entering into new debt financing arrangements, or conducting additional public offerings. Our future capital 
requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support research and 
development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, particularly internationally, the introduction of new and 
enhanced products and functions as well as platform enhancements and professional services offerings, and the level of market 
acceptance of our product.

Our current principal uses of cash are funding operations and other working capital requirements. (cid:34)istorically, we have 
also utilized cash to acquire complementary businesses, and we may pursue similar opportunities in the future. Over the past 
several years, revenue has increased significantly from year to year and, as a result, cash flows from customer collections have 
also grown. (cid:34)owever, as we continue to invest in growing our business, operating expenses have also increased. Outside of 
cash used to fund operations, other uses of cash in 2(cid:15)22 included capital expenditures related to the expansion of our 
headquarters and purchases of short-term investments. Cash uses in 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) included the acquisition of (cid:38)ana (cid:38)abs, purchases of 
investments, and capital expenditures.

Furthermore, in (cid:36)uly 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we executed a non-cancellable cloud hosting arrangement with Amazon Web Services 
(cid:7)(cid:84)AWS(cid:85)(cid:8) that contains provisions for minimum purchase commitments. Specifically, purchase commitments under the 
agreement total (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:18)(cid:16).(cid:15) million over five years, including (cid:3)22.(cid:15) million in the first year, (cid:3)2(cid:20).(cid:15) million in the second year, and 
(cid:3)28.(cid:15) million in each of the third, fourth, and fifth years. The timing of payments under the agreement may vary, and the total 
amount of payments may exceed the minimum depending on the volume of services utilized. Spending under this agreement for 
the year ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 totaled (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:18).(cid:16) million. In 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), AWS spend totaled (cid:3)22.(cid:15) million, (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:16).8 million of which 
was incurred under the new agreement.

Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities was (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:21).(cid:21) million for 2(cid:15)22 as compared to (cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:18).(cid:24) million used by operating activities 

for 2(cid:15)2(cid:16). The increase in net cash used by operating activities was primarily due to a (cid:3)(cid:21)2.(cid:18) million increase in net losses, most 
notably driven by the increase in operating expenses as discussed above. In addition, the increase in cash used by operating 
activities for 2(cid:15)22 was attributed to an increase in the use of working capital of (cid:3)(cid:22).2 million. The change in working capital was 
primarily comprised of declines in accounts payable, prepaid assets, and accrued expenses, all due to timing of payments, 
partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue driven by higher cash payments from increases from subscription contracts.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15).(cid:18) million for 2(cid:15)22 as compared to (cid:3)(cid:19)(cid:16).(cid:24) million provided by investing 
activities for 2(cid:15)2(cid:16). The change in net cash provided by investing activities was primarily impacted by a (cid:3)2(cid:18).(cid:19) million increase 
in purchases of investments, a (cid:3)(cid:18).(cid:15) million increase in capital expenditures stemming from spending on the expansion of our 
headquarters, and a (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:21).(cid:15) million decrease in proceeds from the sale of investments. Partially offsetting these changes was a 
(cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:15).(cid:22) million decrease related to the 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) acquisition of (cid:38)ana (cid:38)abs.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19)2.(cid:24) million for 2(cid:15)22 as compared to (cid:3)2.8 million in net cash provided by 

financing activities for 2(cid:15)2(cid:16). The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to (cid:3)(cid:16)2(cid:15).(cid:15) million in 
proceeds received from the new term loan facility and a (cid:3)22.(cid:21) million increase in proceeds received from the exercise of stock 
options primarily resulting from the vesting of the 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:24) CEO stock options during 2(cid:15)22. These increases were partially offset 
by (cid:3)(cid:16).(cid:24) million in payments for debt issuance costs and a (cid:3)(cid:15).(cid:21) million principal payment on the term loan. 

For a discussion and analysis of net cash used in or provided by operating, investing, and financing activities for the year 
ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), refer to our Annual (cid:44)eport on Form (cid:16)(cid:15)-(cid:37) for the fiscal year ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), filed with 
the SEC on February (cid:16)(cid:22), 2(cid:15)22. 

(cid:24)ritical (cid:22)ccountin(cid:56) (cid:26)sti(cid:62)ates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 

U.S. requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in those financial statements and 
accompanying notes. Although we believe the estimates we use are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in 
making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from those estimates. 

We believe the following accounting estimates involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are 
the estimates we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition 
and results of our operations. This commentary should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the 
remainder of this Form (cid:16)(cid:15)-(cid:37). 

(cid:23)evenue (cid:23)ecognition 

We generate subscriptions revenue primarily through the sale of cloud subscriptions bundled with maintenance and support 

and hosting services and term license subscriptions bundled with maintenance and support. We generate professional services 
revenue from fees for our consulting services, including application development and deployment assistance and training 
related to our platform. Significant judgments and estimates inherent in our revenue recognition are as follows(cid:25)

(cid:17)etermining the Transaction (cid:27)rice

The transaction price, or the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring 
services to our customers, includes both fixed and variable components. The variable components of our contracts, which have 
been nominal to date, include performance penalties, extended payment terms or implied price concessions, and warranty 
refunds. If necessary, we estimate these components using the expected value method, which estimates variable consideration 
as the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. We believe this method is the most 
appropriate to utilize because our variable components could vary by contract, leading to multiple potential outcomes. 

Our variable consideration estimates are subject to subsequent true-up adjustments which may result in changes to 
transaction prices, but such true-up adjustments are not expected to be material. (cid:48)ariable consideration is also included in the 
transaction price only to the extent it is probable a significant reversal will not occur. Factors considered when determining to 
incorporate variable consideration in the transaction price include, but are not limited to, whether the variable consideration is 
highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company(cid:6)s influence, the length of time the uncertainty surrounding reversal is 
expected to last, our experience levels with similar types of contracts, our historical practices for similar contracts in similar 

(cid:20)(cid:20)

circumstances, and the number and range of possible consideration amounts. The amount of variable consideration excluded 
from the transaction price for the years ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15) was insignificant.

Allocating the Transaction (cid:27)rice (cid:15)ased on (cid:29)tandalone (cid:29)elling (cid:27)rices

We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in a contract based on its relative standalone selling price, 
or SSP. The SSP is the observable price at which we sell the product or service separately. In the absence of observable pricing, 
we estimate SSP using the residual approach. We establish SSP as follows(cid:25)

(cid:16). Cloud subscriptions - Given the highly variable selling price of our could subscriptions, we establish the SSP of our 
cloud subscriptions using a residual approach after first determining the SSP of consulting and training services. 

2. On-premises term license subscriptions - Given the highly variable selling price of our term license subscriptions, we 
have established the SSP of term license subscriptions using a residual approach after first determining the SSP of 
maintenance and support. Maintenance and support is sold on a standalone basis with renewals of our legacy perpetual 
software licenses and within a narrow range of the net license fee, resulting in a defined economic relationship existing 
between the license and maintenance and support.

(cid:18). Maintenance and support - We establish the SSP of maintenance and support as a percentage of the stated net 

subscription fee based on observable pricing of maintenance and support renewals from our legacy perpetual software 
licenses. 

(cid:19). Consulting services and training services - The SSP of consulting services and training services is established based on 

the observable pricing of standalone sales within each geographic region where the services are sold. 

(cid:24)tock(cid:5)(cid:10)ased (cid:11)ompensation 

We measure and recognize compensation expense for all instrument types, including stock options, awards with market 

conditions, and restricted stock units, or (cid:44)SUs, based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. The valuation 
of stock options requires management to make certain estimates and judgments as discussed below. 

(cid:29)tock options

In (cid:36)une 2(cid:15)22, our (cid:28)oard of (cid:30)irectors granted a stock option to purchase (cid:22)(cid:15)(cid:15),(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15) shares of our Class A common stock 
granted to our Chief Executive Officer. This was the only stock option awarded during 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15). See Note (cid:16)(cid:16) to 
the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the award. The valuation method requires the use of subjective 
assumptions, including but not limited to, the following(cid:25) 

(cid:16). The expected term of the option - The expected term represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be 
outstanding. (cid:30)ue to the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to otherwise 
estimate the expected term of the stock options, we use the simplified method to estimate the expected term. Under the 
simplified method, the expected term of an option is presumed to be the mid-point between the vesting date and the 
end of the contractual term.

2. Current trading price - The current price of our stock is based on the closing market price of our Class A common 

stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant. 

(cid:18). The expected stock price volatility - Expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of our publicly traded 

stock. Expected volatility is sensitive to market- and company-specific conditions which may cause our stock price or 
the stock prices of our peers to fluctuate. Furthermore, expected volatility can be impacted by the companies we select 
as peers for inclusion in the analysis.

(cid:19). Expected dividend yield - We assume no dividend yield because dividends on our common stock are not expected to 

be paid in the near future, which is consistent with our history of not paying dividends on our common stock.

(cid:20). The risk-free interest rate - We utilize the yields of U.S. government securities, typically U.S. Treasury bonds, that 

have maturities commensurate with the expected term of the options.

(cid:20)(cid:21)

Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions. Tax law 
requires certain items to be included in our tax returns at different times than when the items are reflected in the financial 
statements. The annual tax expense reflected in the consolidated income statement is different than that reported in our tax 
returns. Some of these differences are permanent (cid:7)for example, expenses recorded for accounting purposes that are not 
deductible in the returns such as certain entertainment expenses(cid:8) and some differences are temporary and reverse over time, 
such as depreciation expense. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. (cid:30)eferred tax liabilities generally 
represent income recognized in the financial statements for which payment has been deferred, or expense for which a deduction 
has been taken already in the tax return but the expense has not yet been recognized in the financial statements. (cid:30)eferred tax 
assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in tax returns in future years for which a benefit has 
already been recorded in the financial statements, as well as tax attributes, such as loss or credits, that can be carried over and 
used in future years. 

(cid:48)aluation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts we believe are 
more likely than not to be recovered. This requires us to make judgments and estimates regarding future reversals of existing 
taxable temporary differences, future taxable income, and the impact of tax planning strategies. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we 
continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets based on our cumulative operating results as of 
(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, three-year cumulative loss, and an assessment of our expected future results of operations. We have 
evaluated all evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the likelihood of realizability, and we determined the negative 
evidence outweighed the positive evidence.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we have a valuation allowance of (cid:3)(cid:16)8.(cid:22) million against gross foreign deferred tax assets of 
(cid:3)2(cid:19).(cid:15) million, before deferred tax liability netting. (cid:28)ased on our cumulative operating results as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 
assessment of our expected future results of operations, we determined it was not more likely than not we would be able to 
realize the remaining deferred tax assets prior to expiration. 

Our tax positions are subject to income tax audits by multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the world. We recognize the tax 

benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable upon examination by the 
taxing authority. We measure the tax benefit recognized as the largest amount of benefit which is more likely than not to be 
realized upon settlement with the taxing authority. This determination involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of 
uncertainties in the application of GAAP and complex tax laws. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we have an unrecognized 
tax benefit of (cid:3)(cid:19).(cid:20) million and (cid:3)(cid:18).(cid:16) million, respectively, none of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized due to 
the full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

We calculate the current and deferred income tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the 
actual results reflected in income tax returns filed in subsequent years and record adjustments based on filed income tax returns 
when identified. The amount of income taxes paid is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. 
The estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of relevant risks, facts, and 
circumstances existing at that time. To the extent the assessment of such tax position changes, we record the change in estimate 
in the period in which we make that determination. 

Recent (cid:22)ccountin(cid:56) Pronounce(cid:62)ents

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may 
impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily 
the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

(cid:20)(cid:22)

Interest Rate Risk

We had cash and cash equivalents of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19)8.(cid:16) million as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, which consisted of investments in a money 
market fund, cash in readily available checking accounts, and overnight repurchase investments. These securities, which are not 
dependent on interest rate fluctuations that may cause principal amounts to fluctuate, are held for reinvestment and working 
capital purposes or, in the case of restricted cash, to settle an escrow liability established pursuant to a business combination.

In addition, as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we held (cid:3)(cid:19)(cid:22).(cid:24) million of fixed income securities such as U.S. treasury bonds, 
commercial paper, corporate bonds, agency bonds, and asset-backed securities. These securities are subject to market risk due 
to fluctuations in interest rates, which may affect our interest income and the fair value of our investments. We classify 
investments as available-for-sale, including those with stated maturities beyond (cid:16)2 months. As such, no gains or losses due to 
changes in interest rates are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations unless such securities are sold prior to 
maturity or due to expected credit losses. A hypothetical (cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:15) basis point change in interest rates would not have had a material 
effect on the fair market value of our investment portfolio as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. To date, fluctuations in interest income 
have also not been significant. Our investments are made for the purpose of preserving capital, fulfilling liquidity needs, and 
maximizing total return. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had outstanding debt of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:16)(cid:24).(cid:19) million, which carries interest as defined in our Credit 
Agreement. (cid:44)efer to Note (cid:24) of the consolidated financial statements in this 2(cid:15)22 Annual (cid:44)eport for additional details. We 
assessed our exposure to changes in interest rates by analyzing sensitivity to our operating results assuming various changes in 
market interest rates. A hypothetical increase of one percentage point in the interest rate as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 would 
increase our interest expense by approximately (cid:3)(cid:16).2 million annually.

In(cid:55)lation Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to inflation in personnel costs, third-party service providers, subcontracting costs, 
professional fees, and general overhead expenses. (cid:30)uring 2(cid:15)22, inflation has increased to rates beyond recent history, and as a 
result we have experienced rising costs. If these inflation pressures continue or increase in severity, we may not be able to fully 
offset such higher costs through price increases and productivity initiatives. While we do not believe inflation has had a 
material impact on our results of operations to date, continued high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on 
our ability to maintain operating costs and adversely affect our gross profit margin.

(cid:27)orei(cid:56)n (cid:24)urrency (cid:26)(cid:73)c(cid:57)an(cid:56)e Risk

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. (cid:30)ue to our international operations, we have foreign currency risks related to 
revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the (cid:28)ritish pound sterling, Euro, 
Australian dollar, and Swiss franc. Our sales contracts are primarily denominated in the local currency of the customer making 
the purchase. In addition, portions of operating expenses are incurred outside the United States and are denominated in foreign 
currencies. An increase in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies will negatively affect revenue and other 
operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. (cid:28)ased on a sensitivity analysis, a (cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:4) change in the foreign currency exchange 
rates would have impacted our total revenue by approximately (cid:18)(cid:4) and our operating loss by approximately 2(cid:4). This 
calculation assumes all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar. 

We have experienced, and will continue to experience, fluctuations in net loss as a result of transaction gains or losses 
related to remeasuring certain current asset and current liability balances denominated in currencies other than the functional 
currency of the entities in which they are recorded. We have not engaged in the hedging of foreign currency transactions to 
date, although we may choose to do so in the future.

Opinion on t(cid:57)e (cid:24)onsolidated (cid:27)inancial (cid:40)tate(cid:62)ents 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Appian Corporation (cid:7)the (cid:84)Company(cid:85)(cid:8) as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 
2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and 
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, and the related notes (cid:7)collectively referred to as 
the (cid:84)consolidated financial statements(cid:85)(cid:8). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material 
respects, the financial position of the Company at (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and the results of its operations and its cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight (cid:28)oard (cid:7)United States(cid:8) 
(cid:7)(cid:84)PCAO(cid:28)(cid:85)(cid:8), the Company(cid:6)s internal control over financial reporting as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control (cid:58) Integrated Framework (cid:3)(cid:10)01(cid:11)(cid:4) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (cid:7)(cid:84)COSO(cid:85)(cid:8) and our report dated February (cid:16)(cid:21), 2(cid:15)2(cid:18) expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(cid:23)asis (cid:55)or Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered 
with the PCAO(cid:28) 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 PCAO(cid:28).

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAO(cid:28). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, 
whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(cid:24)ritical (cid:22)udit (cid:34)atter 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial 
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that(cid:25) (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) relates to accounts or 
disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (cid:7)2(cid:8) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or 
complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated 
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate 
opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Re(cid:71)enue Reco(cid:56)nition (cid:55)or (cid:34)ultiple Per(cid:55)or(cid:62)ance O(cid:51)li(cid:56)ations 

As discussed in Note (cid:18) to the consolidated financial statements, certain of the Company(cid:6)s revenue contracts contain multiple 
performance obligations that might include cloud subscriptions, term license subscriptions, maintenance and support and 
professional services. The Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are capable of being 
distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. In such cases, the transaction price is allocated to the distinct 
performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price or residual approach and revenue is recognized when 
control of the distinct performance obligation is transferred.

(cid:21)(cid:15)

We identified the identification of distinct performance obligations and the determination of standalone selling prices as a 
critical audit matter. Auditing these elements of revenue recognition was especially challenging due to the significant judgment 
involved in assessing the completeness of the distinct performance obligations in arrangements containing multiple 
performance obligations. In addition, the evaluation of the reasonableness of the range of prices used to establish the standalone 
selling price for maintenance and support and professional services was complex, which directly affects the amount of cloud 
and term license subscriptions revenue recognized using the residual approach. 

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included(cid:25) 

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

Testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company(cid:6)s revenue recognition process 
including controls over(cid:25) (cid:7)i(cid:8) the identification of distinct performance obligations, and (cid:7)ii(cid:8) the determination of 
standalone selling prices for the distinct performance obligations. 

Testing a sample of revenue contracts and underlying order documents to evaluate management’s identification of 
distinct performance obligations. 

Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s analysis supporting the standalone selling prices by tracing, on a 
sample basis, revenue transactions to the underlying source documents and recalculating the mathematical accuracy of 
the analysis.

We have audited Appian Corporation’s (cid:7)the (cid:84)Company’s(cid:85)(cid:8) internal control over financial reporting as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22,

Organizations of the Treadway Commission (cid:7)the (cid:84)COSO criteria(cid:85)(cid:8). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material 
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, based on the COSO criteria. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight (cid:28)oard (cid:7)United States(cid:8) 
(cid:7)(cid:84)PCAO(cid:28)(cid:85)(cid:8), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), the related consolidated 
statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the

opinion thereon.

(cid:23)asis (cid:55)or Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item (cid:24)A, 
Management’s Annual (cid:44)eport on Internal Control over Financial (cid:44)eporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 
PCAO(cid:28) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the 
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAO(cid:28).

We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAO(cid:28). Those 
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control 
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal 
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and 
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures 
as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(cid:25)e(cid:55)inition and (cid:33)i(cid:62)itations o(cid:55) Internal (cid:24)ontrol o(cid:71)er (cid:27)inancial Reportin(cid:56)

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) pertain to the maintenance 
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company(cid:26) 
(cid:7)2(cid:8) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company(cid:26) and (cid:7)(cid:18)(cid:8) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have 
a material effect on the financial statements.

(cid:21)2

(cid:28)ecause of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Appian Corporation (cid:7)together with its subsidiaries, (cid:84)Appian,(cid:85) the (cid:84)Company,(cid:85) (cid:84)we,(cid:85) or (cid:84)our(cid:85)(cid:8) is a software company that 
automates business processes. The Appian Platform includes everything you need to design, automate, and optimize even the 
most complex processes, from start to finish. The world(cid:6)s most innovative organizations trust Appian to improve their 
workflows, unify data, and optimize operations(cid:83)resulting in better growth and superior customer experiences.

(cid:13)(cid:10) (cid:22)ccountin(cid:56) Policies

(cid:10)asis of (cid:22)resentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been prepared in accordance with accounting 

principles generally accepted in the United States (cid:7)(cid:84)U.S. GAAP(cid:85)(cid:8) as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards (cid:28)oard 
(cid:7)(cid:84)FAS(cid:28)(cid:85)(cid:8) Accounting Standards Codification (cid:7)(cid:84)ASC(cid:85)(cid:8).

(cid:26)se of (cid:13)stimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and 

judgments that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although we 
believe the estimates we use are reasonable, due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results 
reported in future periods could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates embedded in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, 

income taxes and the related valuation allowance, costs to obtain a contract with a customer, and stock-based compensation.

(cid:22)rinciples of (cid:11)onsolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Appian and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All 

intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(cid:24)egment (cid:23)eporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is 

evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (cid:7)(cid:84)CO(cid:30)M(cid:85)(cid:8) for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating 
financial performance. We have determined our CO(cid:30)M is our Chief Executive Officer.

We operate one operating and reportable segment, representing our consolidated business that helps organizations build 
applications and workflows rapidly with our low-code platform to maximize their resources and improve business results. Our 
reportable segment determination is based on our management and internal reporting structure, the nature of the subscriptions 
and services we offer, and the financial information evaluated regularly by our CO(cid:30)M.

(cid:11)oncentration of (cid:11)redit and (cid:11)ustomer (cid:23)isk

Our financial instruments exposed to concentration of credit and customer risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, 

restricted cash, accounts receivable, and our short- and long-term investments. (cid:30)eposits held with banks may exceed the 
amount of insurance provided on such deposits(cid:26) however, we believe the financial institutions holding our cash deposits are 
financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.

With regard to our customers, credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize the risk of loss.

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, as well as 
overnight repurchase agreements, to be cash equivalents. (cid:44)estricted cash consists of cash designated to settle an escrow liability 
stemming from our acquisition of (cid:38)ana (cid:38)abs Gmb(cid:34) (cid:7)(cid:84)(cid:38)ana (cid:38)abs(cid:85)(cid:8). The remaining balance as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 is due on

(cid:9)ccounts (cid:23)eceivable and (cid:9)llowance for (cid:12)oubtful (cid:9)ccounts

Accounts receivable are stated at realizable value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful 

accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of accounts and incorporates an estimation of expected lifetime credit 
losses on our receivables. We regularly review the composition of the accounts receivable aging, historical bad debts, changes 
in payment patterns, customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends. If the financial condition of our customers were 
to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make required payments, additional provisions for doubtful accounts would be 
required and would increase bad debt expense.

(cid:9)ssets (cid:23)ecogni(cid:54)ed from the (cid:11)osts to (cid:21)btain a (cid:11)ontract with a (cid:11)ustomer

We capitalize incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, which consists of sales commissions paid to our 
sales team. These costs are recorded as deferred commissions in the consolidated balance sheets. Costs to obtain a contract for a 
new customer or upsell are amortized over an estimated economic life of five years as sales commissions on initial sales are not 
commensurate with sales commissions on contract renewals. We determine the estimated economic life based on both 
qualitative and quantitative factors such as customer attrition, expected renewals, product life cycles, and contractual terms. We 
periodically review the carrying amount of deferred contract acquisition costs to determine whether events or changes in 
circumstances have occurred that could impact the estimated economic life. Commissions paid relating to contract renewals are 
deferred and amortized over the related renewal period. Costs to obtain a contract for professional services arrangements are 
expensed as incurred as the contractual period of our professional services arrangements are one year or less.

Amortization associated with deferred commissions is recorded to sales and marketing expense in our consolidated 

statements of operations. The following table summarizes the activity of costs to obtain a contract with a customer for the years 
ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) (cid:7)in thousands(cid:8)(cid:25)

(cid:22)roperty and (cid:13)(cid:45)uipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. (cid:30)epreciation is computed using the straight-line 

method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Significant additions or improvements extending the useful life of an asset 
are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs which do not significantly improve the related assets or extend their useful 
lives are charged to expense as incurred.

(cid:10)usiness (cid:11)ombinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting as of the business combination date. 

Under this method, we allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired 
and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the consideration transferred over the 
fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill and represents the future economic benefits expected to 
arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, non-
contractual relationships, and expected future synergies. (cid:30)etermining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
requires us to use significant judgments and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future

(cid:30)uring the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, these estimates may be refined, as 

necessary, and we may record adjustments to the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, 
with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or the final determination of the fair 
value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our 
consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition related expenses and post-acquisition integration costs are recognized 
separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. 

(cid:17)mpairment of (cid:18)ong(cid:5)(cid:18)ived (cid:9)ssets

(cid:38)ong-lived tangible assets and intangible assets with definite useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or 

changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through undiscounted cash flows 
from the use of the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

Goodwill is accounted for at the segment level and allocated to, and tested for impairment at, a level referred to as the 
reporting unit. We have determined our one segment consists of a single reporting unit. We test for impairment annually on the 
first day of our fourth quarter or between annual tests if events or changes in circumstances indicate the fair value of our 
reporting unit may be below its carrying amount. We have the option to qualitatively assess whether it is more likely than not 
the fair value our reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If we elect to perform a qualitative assessment and conclude it is 
more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is equal to or greater than its carrying value, no further assessment of 
that reporting unit’s goodwill is necessary(cid:26) otherwise, goodwill must be tested for impairment. In 2(cid:15)22, we elected to not 
perform the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill and instead performed the quantitative impairment test.

When performing the quantitative test, we determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying 

amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the 
reporting unit’s goodwill is impaired, and we must recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying 
amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. We estimate the fair value of our reporting unit using a market-based valuation 
methodology, which is primarily based on our consolidated market capitalization plus a reasonable control premium. 

In the fourth quarter of 2(cid:15)22, we completed our annual goodwill impairment test for our reporting unit, and the results of 

the test indicated the estimated fair value of our reporting unit significantly exceeded the carrying value.

We account for stock-based compensation expense related to stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the 

award on the grant date. We calculate the fair value of stock options containing only a service condition using the (cid:28)lack-
Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units (cid:7)(cid:84)(cid:44)SUs(cid:85)(cid:8) is based on the closing market price of our 
common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant. For service-based awards such as (cid:44)SUs, stock-based 
compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For awards that contain market 
conditions, compensation expense is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation and is recognized using the accelerated 
attribution method over the derived service period based on the expected market performance as of the grant date. We account 
for forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating expected forfeitures. (cid:44)efer to Note (cid:16)(cid:16) for additional information related to 
stock-based compensation.

We combine and account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for leases of our facilities. The 
discount rates related to the our lease liabilities are based on estimates of our incremental borrowing rate on a secured basis, as

(cid:10)asic and (cid:12)iluted (cid:18)oss per (cid:11)ommon (cid:24)hare

We compute net loss per common share using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and 
participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the Class A common stock and Class (cid:28) 
common stock are substantially identical, other than voting and conversion rights. Accordingly, the Class A common stock and 
Class (cid:28) common stock share equally in our net losses. 

(cid:28)asic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common 

stock outstanding during the period. (cid:30)iluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to 
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased by 
common shares that could be issued upon the conversion or exercise of other outstanding securities to the extent those 
additional common shares would be dilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net loss 
per share by application of the treasury stock method.

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying 
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using 
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be 
recoverable or settled. We recognize the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates as income and 
expense in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all 
or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. 

Our tax positions are subject to income tax audits by multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the world. We recognize the tax 
benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the position is sustainable upon examination by the taxing 
authority. We measure the tax benefit recognized as the largest amount of benefit which is more likely than not to be realized 
upon settlement with the taxing authority. We recognize penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income 
tax expense. 

We calculate the current and deferred income tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the 
actual results reflected in income tax returns filed in subsequent years and record adjustments based on filed income tax returns 
when identified. The amount of income taxes paid is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. 
The estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of relevant risks, facts, and 
circumstances existing at that time. To the extent the assessment of such tax position changes, we record the change in estimate 
in the period in which we make that determination.

(cid:14)oreign (cid:11)urrency

Our operations located outside of the United States where the local currency is the functional currency are translated into 
U.S. dollars using the current rate method. (cid:44)esults of operations are translated at the average rate of exchange for the period. 
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rates on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on translation of these 
accounts are accumulated and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive loss. 

Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of 
operations as a component of Other expense (cid:7)income(cid:8), net. Gains and losses from transactions denominated in foreign 
currencies resulted in net transaction losses of (cid:3)(cid:21).(cid:16) million, net transaction losses of (cid:3)(cid:18).(cid:22) million, and net transaction gains of

performance obligations that are either (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) capable of being distinct (cid:7)i.e., the customer can benefit from the product or service 
on its own or together with readily available resources, including those purchased separately from us(cid:8) and distinct within the

We generate cloud-based subscriptions revenue primarily from the sales of subscriptions to access our cloud offering, 

together with related support services to our customers. We perform all required maintenance and support for our cloud 
offering. (cid:44)evenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date the service is made available to 
the customer. Our cloud-based subscription contracts generally have a term of one to three years in length. We bill customers 
and collect payment for subscriptions to our platform in advance, and they are non-cancellable.

(cid:41)er(cid:62) (cid:33)icense (cid:40)u(cid:51)scriptions 

Our term license subscription revenue is derived from customers with on-premises installations of our platform. The 
majority of our contracts are one year in length. Although term license subscriptions are sold with maintenance and support, the 
software is fully functional at the beginning of the subscription and is considered a distinct performance obligation. If a cloud 
agreement includes the right for the customer to take possession of the license, the revenue is treated as a term license. (cid:44)evenue 
from term license subscriptions is recognized when control of the software license has transferred to the customer, which is the 
later of delivery or commencement of the contract term. 

(cid:34)aintenance and (cid:40)upport

Maintenance and support subscriptions include both technical support and when-and-if-available software upgrades, which 
are treated as a single performance obligation as they are considered a series of distinct services that are substantially the same 
and have the same duration and measure of progress. (cid:44)evenue from maintenance and support is recognized ratably over the 
contract period, which is the period over which the customer has continuous access to maintenance and support.

We sell consulting services to assist customers in planning and executing the deployment of our software. Customers are 
not required to use consulting services to fully benefit from the software. Consulting services are regularly sold on a standalone 
basis and either (cid:7)(cid:16)(cid:8) under a fixed-fee arrangement or (cid:7)2(cid:8) on a time and materials basis. Consulting service contracts are 
considered separate performance obligations because they do not integrate with each other or with other products and services 
to deliver a combined output to the customer, do not modify or customize (cid:7)or are not modified or customized by(cid:8) each other or 
other products and services, and do not affect the customer(cid:6)s ability to use the other consulting offerings or other products and 
services. (cid:44)evenue under consulting contracts is recognized over time as services are delivered. For time and materials-based 
consulting contracts, we have elected the practical expedient of recognizing revenue upon invoicing since the invoiced amount 
corresponds directly to the value of our service to date.

We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in a contract based on its relative SSP. The SSP is the 
observable price at which we sell the product or service separately. In the absence of observable pricing, we estimate SSP using 
the residual approach. We establish SSP as follows(cid:25)

(cid:16). Cloud subscriptions - Given the highly variable selling price of our cloud subscriptions, we establish the SSP of our 

cloud subscriptions using a residual approach after first determining the SSP of consulting and training services. We have 
concluded the residual approach to estimating SSP of our cloud subscriptions is an appropriate allocation of the transaction 
price.

2. Term license subscriptions - Given the highly variable selling price of our term license subscriptions, we have 
established SSP of term license subscriptions using a residual approach after first determining the SSP of maintenance and 
support. Maintenance and support is sold on a standalone basis in conjunction with renewals of our legacy perpetual software 
licenses and within a narrow range of the net license fee. (cid:28)ecause an economic relationship exists between the license and 
maintenance and support, we have concluded the residual approach to estimating SSP of term license subscriptions is an 
appropriate allocation of the transaction price.

(cid:18). Maintenance and support - We establish the SSP of maintenance and support as a percentage of the stated net 

subscription fee based on observable pricing of maintenance and support renewals from our legacy perpetual software licenses. 

(cid:19). Consulting and training services - The SSP of consulting and training services is established based on the observable 

pricing of standalone sales within each geographic region where the services are sold. 

Contract (cid:15)alances

Timing may differ between the satisfaction of performance obligations and the invoicing and collection of amounts related 
to our contracts with customers. Contract assets primarily relate to unbilled amounts for contracts with customers for which the 
amount of revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable 
when the right to invoice becomes unconditional. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), contract assets of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19).(cid:18) million and 
(cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19).(cid:15) million, respectively, are included in the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets line items in our 
consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and include payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance 

obligations. (cid:30)eferred revenue is then recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. (cid:30)eferred revenue that will be 
recognized during the succeeding (cid:16)2-month period is recorded as current, and the remaining deferred revenue is recorded as 
non-current. For the year ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we recognized (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19)(cid:22).(cid:15) million of revenue that was included in the deferred

represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease 
payments arising from the lease. We have elected not to recognize on our consolidated balance sheets leases with a term of one 
year or less. 

(cid:38)ease liabilities and their corresponding (cid:44)OU assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the 

expected lease term. The implicit rates within most of our leases are generally not determinable(cid:26) therefore, we estimate our 
incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of our incremental borrowing 
rate requires judgment and is estimated for each lease based on the rate we would have to pay for a collateralized loan with the 
same terms as the lease. We consider various factors, including our level of collateralization, estimated credit rating, and the 
currency in which the lease is denominated. Operating lease (cid:44)OU assets also include any lease prepayments, offset by lease 
incentives. Certain of our leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in 
connection with determining the (cid:44)OU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option.. 

(cid:18)ease (cid:11)osts

Expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense. We have 

lease agreements which require payments for lease and non-lease components (cid:7)i.e., common area maintenance(cid:8) that are 
accounted for as a single lease component. (cid:48)ariable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of 
the lease, such as maintenance costs based on future obligations, are not included in (cid:44)OU assets or lease liabilities but rather are 
expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense.

On November (cid:18), 2(cid:15)22, we entered into a new Senior Secured Credit Facilities Credit Agreement (cid:7)the (cid:84)Credit Agreement(cid:85)(cid:8) 

which provides for a five-year term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:15).(cid:15) million and, in addition, up to 
(cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:15).(cid:15) million for a revolving credit facility, including a letter of credit sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of 
(cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:20).(cid:15) million and a swingline sub-facility in the aggregate availability amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15).(cid:15) million (cid:7)as a sublimit of the revolving 
loan facility(cid:8). On (cid:30)ecember (cid:16)(cid:18), 2(cid:15)22, we executed the first amendment to the credit agreement which increased the aggregate 
principal amount of the term loan facility by (cid:3)2(cid:15).(cid:15) million and the limit of the revolving credit facility by (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:15).(cid:15) million. The 
Credit Agreement matures on November (cid:18), 2(cid:15)2(cid:22). We will use the proceeds from the (cid:3)(cid:16)2(cid:15).(cid:15) million term loan to fund the 
continued growth of our business and support our working capital requirements.

Under the agreement, we may elect whether amounts drawn bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate per 

annum equal to either (cid:7)a(cid:8) the higher of the Prime rate or the Federal Funds Effective (cid:7)(cid:84)(cid:28)ase (cid:44)ate(cid:85)(cid:8) rate plus (cid:15).(cid:20)(cid:15)(cid:4) or (cid:7)b(cid:8) the 
forward-looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate (cid:7)(cid:84)Term SOF(cid:44)(cid:85)(cid:8). An additional interest rate margin is 
added to the elected interest rates. (cid:30)uring the first three years of the Credit Agreement, the additional interest rate margin 
ranges from (cid:16).(cid:20)(cid:4) to 2.(cid:20)(cid:4) in the case of (cid:28)ase (cid:44)ate advances or from 2.(cid:20)(cid:4) to (cid:18).(cid:20)(cid:4) in the case of Term SOF(cid:44) advances, 
depending on our debt to recurring revenue leverage ratio (cid:7)as defined in the Credit Agreement(cid:8). (cid:30)uring the final two years of 
the Credit Agreement, the interest rate margin ranges from (cid:15).(cid:20)(cid:4) to 2.(cid:20)(cid:4) in the case of (cid:28)ase (cid:44)ate advances and from (cid:16).(cid:20)(cid:4) to 
(cid:18).(cid:20)(cid:4) in the case of Term SOF(cid:44) advances, depending on our debt to consolidated adjusted E(cid:28)IT(cid:30)A leverage ratio (cid:7)as defined 
in the Credit Agreement(cid:8). 

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants 

by us limiting additional indebtedness, guaranties, liens, fundamental changes, mergers and consolidations, dispositions of 
assets, investments, paying dividends on capital stock or redeeming, repurchasing or retiring capital stock, or prepaying certain 
junior indebtedness and preferred stock, certain corporate changes, and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also 
provides for customary events of default, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of 
covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy, and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on us.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we had (cid:3)2(cid:18)(cid:22).(cid:22) million and (cid:3)2(cid:18)(cid:24).(cid:24) million of gross net operating loss (cid:7)(cid:84)NO(cid:38)(cid:85)(cid:8) 
carryforwards for U.S. federal tax purposes, respectively. U.S. federal NO(cid:38) carryforwards in the amount of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:21).(cid:24) million, 
gross, generated prior to 2(cid:15)(cid:16)8 will expire, if unused, in 2(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:22). Under the Tax Cuts and (cid:36)obs Act of 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) (cid:7)the (cid:84)TC(cid:36)A(cid:85)(cid:8), as 
modified by the Coronavirus Aid, (cid:44)elief, and Economic Security Act (cid:7)the (cid:84)CA(cid:44)ES Act(cid:85)(cid:8), federal NO(cid:38) carryforwards 
generated in tax years beginning after (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) may be carried forward indefinitely. As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we 
had (cid:3)22(cid:15).8 million of gross NO(cid:38) carryforwards generated after 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) for U.S. federal tax purposes, which may be used to offset 
8(cid:15)(cid:4) of our taxable income annually.

Section (cid:18)82 of the Internal (cid:44)evenue Code limits the utilization of NO(cid:38) carryforwards when ownership changes occur, as 

defined by that section. A number of states have similar state laws that limit utilization of state NO(cid:38) carryforwards when 
ownership changes occur. We have performed an analysis of our Section (cid:18)82 ownership changes and have determined all U.S. 
federal and state NO(cid:38) carryforwards are available for use as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. 

(cid:28)eginning in 2(cid:15)22, the TC(cid:36)A eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the 
year incurred and requires companies to amortize such expenditures over five or fifteen years for tax purposes, depending on 
whether the activities were incurred in the U.S. or outside of the U.S. This change resulted in an increase to gross deferred tax 
assets of approximately (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:15).(cid:15) million in 2(cid:15)22. (cid:30)ue to the full valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. deferred tax assets, 
there was no impact to net deferred tax assets. Additionally, there was no cash tax impact for 2(cid:15)22 due to our ability to use 
NO(cid:38) carryforwards to fully offset taxable income generated by the changes to research and development expenditures.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we had (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:24).(cid:18) million and (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:18).(cid:22) million, respectively, of U.S. federal tax credit 

carryforwards which will expire, if unused, between 2(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:16) and 2(cid:15)(cid:19)2.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we had U.S. gross state NO(cid:38) carryforwards of (cid:3)2(cid:20)(cid:21).(cid:18) million and (cid:3)2(cid:19)(cid:24).8 million, 
respectively. We had tax effected state NO(cid:38) carryforwards of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19).8 million and (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:19).(cid:16) million as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 
2(cid:15)2(cid:16), respectively. The rules regarding carryforwards vary from state to state, and the ability to utilize NO(cid:38)s varies based on 
timing and amount. The majority of state NO(cid:38) carryforwards generated prior to 2(cid:15)(cid:16)8 will expire, if unused, in 2(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:22). (cid:30)ue to the 
TC(cid:36)A, certain state NO(cid:38) carryforwards generated after 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) have an indefinite carryforward period.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we had foreign gross NO(cid:38) carryforwards of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:21)(cid:18).(cid:19) million and (cid:3)(cid:16)2(cid:21).(cid:21) million, 
respectively, primarily attributable to our subsidiary in Switzerland. In 2(cid:15)22, (cid:3)8.(cid:16) million of Swiss NO(cid:38)s expired related to the 
2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:20) tax year. An additional piece of those NO(cid:38) carryforwards will expire each year, if unused, between 2(cid:15)2(cid:18) and 2(cid:15)2(cid:24). 

The net change in the total valuation allowance during the year ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 was (cid:3)(cid:18)8.2 million, primarily 
driven by the valuation allowance recorded against the United States and Switzerland deferred tax assets. The (cid:3)(cid:16).(cid:16) million 
valuation allowance against the Germany (cid:7)(cid:38)ana (cid:38)abs Gmb(cid:34)(cid:8) deferred tax assets was released in 2(cid:15)22 as a result of post-
integration tax planning and the merger of German subsidiaries.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets based on 
our cumulative operating results as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, three-year cumulative loss, and an assessment of our expected future 
results of operations. We have evaluated all evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the likelihood of realizability, 
and we determined the negative evidence outweighed the positive evidence.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we have a valuation allowance of (cid:3)(cid:16)8.(cid:22) million against foreign deferred tax assets at our 
subsidiary in Switzerland. (cid:28)ased on our cumulative operating results as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and assessment of our expected 
future results of operations, we determined it was not more likely than not we would be able to realize the deferred tax assets 
prior to expiration. 

We plan to distribute previously undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries back to the United States in future years. 

Upon repatriation of those earnings, if any, we may be subject to taxes, including withholding taxes, net of any applicable 
foreign tax credits. (cid:30)etermination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable.

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we had unrecognized tax benefits of (cid:3)(cid:19).(cid:20) million and (cid:3)(cid:18).(cid:16) million, respectively, none 

of which would affect our effective tax rate if recognized due to the valuation allowance. The following table summarizes the 
activity related to our unrecognized tax benefit from (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:24) to (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 (cid:7)in thousands(cid:8)(cid:25)

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. (cid:30)uring the years ended 
(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), we recognized nominal amounts in interest. The cumulative balance of interest and 
penalties as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) were not meaningful. We anticipate total unrecognized tax benefits will not 
decrease over the next year. 

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. (cid:30)ue to the NO(cid:38) 

carryforward, tax years 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:21) through 2(cid:15)22 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are 
subject. There are no open examinations that would have a meaningful impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22), our (cid:28)oard of (cid:30)irectors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) Equity Incentive Plan (cid:7)the (cid:84)2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) 
Plan(cid:85)(cid:8), which became effective as of the date of the final prospectus for our initial public offering. The 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) Plan provides for 
the grant of incentive stock options to employees and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, 
restricted stock units (cid:7)(cid:84)(cid:44)SUs(cid:85)(cid:8), stock appreciation rights, performance-based stock awards, and other forms of equity 
compensation to employees, including officers, non-employee directors, and consultants. We initially reserved (cid:21),(cid:19)2(cid:16),(cid:19)(cid:19)2 shares 
of Class A common stock for issuance under the 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) Plan, which included (cid:19)2(cid:16),(cid:19)(cid:19)2 shares that remained available for issuance 
under our 2(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:22) Stock Option Plan (cid:7)the (cid:84)2(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:22) Plan(cid:85)(cid:8) at the time the 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) Plan became effective. The number of shares reserved 
under the 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) Plan increases for any shares subject to outstanding awards originally granted under the 2(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:22) Plan that expire or 
are forfeited prior to exercise. As a result of the adoption of the 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) Plan, no further grants may be made under the 2(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:22) Plan. 
As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, there were (cid:22),(cid:16)(cid:24)(cid:21),(cid:16)(cid:19)(cid:24) shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) Plan, of 
which 2,8(cid:18)(cid:24),(cid:19)(cid:22)(cid:20) were available to be issued.

(cid:24)tock (cid:21)ptions

We estimate the fair value of stock options containing only a service condition using the (cid:28)lack-Scholes option pricing 
model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option, the current price of the 
underlying stock, the expected stock price volatility, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate for the expected 
term of the option. The expected term represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be outstanding. (cid:30)ue to the 
lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to derive an estimate, we use the simplified 
method to estimate the expected term for our stock options. Under the simplified method, the expected term of an option is 
presumed to be the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. Expected volatility is based on the

In (cid:36)une 2(cid:15)22, our (cid:28)oard of (cid:30)irectors granted a stock option to purchase (cid:22)(cid:15)(cid:15),(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15) shares of our Class A common stock to 
our Chief Executive Officer (cid:7)the (cid:84)2(cid:15)22 CEO Grant(cid:85)(cid:8) under the 2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:22) Plan with an exercise price of (cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:15).(cid:21)(cid:18) per share. The 2(cid:15)22 
CEO Grant is eligible to vest based on the achievement of various stock price appreciation targets of our Class A common 
stock. Specifically, the 2(cid:15)22 CEO Grant vests in four installments of 2(cid:20)(cid:4) each if the average closing price per share for a (cid:18)(cid:21)(cid:20) 
day calendar period equals each of (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:22)(cid:20), (cid:3)2(cid:15)(cid:15), (cid:3)22(cid:20), and (cid:3)2(cid:20)(cid:15), respectively (cid:7)the (cid:84)(cid:48)esting Price Threshold(cid:85)(cid:8), prior to (cid:36)une (cid:22), 
2(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:15). The option also vests if the Company engages in a Corporate Transaction, as defined in the Plan, in which the Company’s 
Class A common stock is valued at or above the (cid:48)esting Price Threshold. The fair value of the 2(cid:15)22 CEO Grant was 
determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the award at the grant date was (cid:3)(cid:16)8.8 million and is being 
amortized over derived service periods ranging from (cid:18).(cid:19) years to (cid:19).(cid:16) years.

The only stock option awarded during the years ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15) was the 2(cid:15)22 CEO Grant. The

As of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, we had authorized (cid:20)(cid:15)(cid:15),(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15),(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15) shares of Class A common stock and (cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:15),(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15),(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15) shares of 
Class (cid:28) common stock, each with a par value of (cid:3)(cid:15).(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:16) per share, of which (cid:19)(cid:16),(cid:18)2(cid:15),(cid:15)(cid:24)(cid:16) shares of Class A common stock and 
(cid:18)(cid:16),(cid:19)(cid:24)(cid:22),(cid:22)(cid:24)(cid:21) shares of Class (cid:28) common stock were issued and outstanding. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock 
and Class (cid:28) common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion rights. The holders of Class A common 
stock are entitled to one vote per share, and the holders of Class (cid:28) common stock are entitled to ten votes per share on all 
matters subject to stockholder vote. The holders of Class (cid:28) common stock also have approval rights for certain corporate 
actions. Each share of Class (cid:28) common stock may be converted into one share of Class A common stock at the option of its 
holder and will be automatically converted upon transfer thereof, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, upon the date on 
which the outstanding shares of Class (cid:28) common stock represent less than (cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:4) of the aggregate voting power of our capital 
stock, all outstanding shares of Class (cid:28) common stock shall convert automatically into Class A common stock.

fourth, and fifth years. The timing of payments under the agreement may vary, and the total amount of payments may exceed 
the minimum depending on the volume of services utilized. Spending under this agreement for the year ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 
2(cid:15)22 totaled (cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:18).(cid:16) million.

At (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), we had outstanding letters of credit totaling (cid:3)(cid:16)2.(cid:15) million and (cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:16).2 million, 

respectively, in connection with securing our leased office space. All letters of credit are secured by our current or historical

(cid:22)egasystems (cid:18)itigation

On May 2(cid:24), 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), we filed a civil complaint against Pegasystems, Inc. (cid:7)(cid:84)Pegasystems(cid:85)(cid:8) and (cid:51)ouyong (cid:52)ou, a (cid:48)irginia 
resident, in the Circuit Court for Fairfax County, (cid:48)irginia. Appian Corp v. (cid:27)egasystems Inc. (cid:2) (cid:31)ouyong (cid:32)ou, (cid:25)o. (cid:10)0(cid:10)0-0(cid:13)(cid:10)1(cid:12) 
(cid:3)Fairfa(cid:55) Cty. Ct.(cid:4). On May (cid:16)(cid:15), 2(cid:15)22, we announced the jury awarded us (cid:3)2.(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:21) billion in damages for misappropriation of our 
trade secrets and (cid:3)(cid:16) in damages for violating the (cid:48)irginia Computer Crimes Act. Pegasystems filed several post-trial motions 
seeking relief in the form of reducing the damages award or setting aside the jury’s verdict and either granting a new trial or 
entering judgment in Pegasystems’ favor. All of these motions were denied, and final judgment was entered by the Court on 
September (cid:16)(cid:20), 2(cid:15)22. The final judgment reaffirmed the (cid:3)2.(cid:15)(cid:18)(cid:21) billion in damages and also ordered Pegasystems to pay Appian 
(cid:3)2(cid:18).(cid:21) million in attorney(cid:6)s fees associated with the case as well as statutory post-judgment interest on the judgment at an annual 
rate of (cid:21)(cid:4), or approximately (cid:3)(cid:16)22.(cid:15) million per year.

(cid:30)efendant (cid:51)ouyong (cid:52)ou has satisfied the judgment of (cid:3)(cid:20),(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:15) (cid:7)plus interest(cid:8) against him in lieu of appealing that judgment. 

On September (cid:16)(cid:20), 2(cid:15)22, Pegasystems filed a notice of appeal, and on February (cid:21), 2(cid:15)2(cid:18), Pegasystems filed its opening brief 
with the Court of Appeals of (cid:48)irginia. Appian expects to file its responsive brief in March 2(cid:15)2(cid:18), to which Pegasystems will file 
a reply brief. After submission of the reply brief, the timeline of the case is solely within the control of the Court of Appeals 
until it rules. Pegasystems is not required to pay us the judgment, attorney’s fees, or post-judgment interest until all appeals are 
exhausted. We cannot predict the outcome of any appeals or the time it will take to resolve them. Consistent with other 
judgments, there is no guarantee we will be able to collect all or any portion of the judgment. Consequently, we will not record 
the award in our consolidated financial statements until all contingencies are resolved and we collect on the judgment.

(cid:21)ther (cid:18)egal (cid:19)atters

From time to time, we are subject to legal, regulatory, and other proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of 
business. Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual (cid:44)eport, 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, operating 
results, financial condition, or cash flows. We do not believe any material liability will be imposed as a result of any of the 
foregoing matters.

With respect to geographic information, revenue is attributed to respective geographies based on the contracting address of 

the customer. There were no individual foreign countries from which more than (cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:4) of our total revenue was attributable for 
the years ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16). (cid:44)evenue from customers attributed to the United (cid:37)ingdom were (cid:16)2.(cid:20)(cid:4) of our

We have a defined contribution (cid:19)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:7)k(cid:8) retirement and savings plan (cid:7)the (cid:84)Plan(cid:85)(cid:8) to provide retirement benefits for all 
eligible employees. With limited exceptions, all employees over the age of 2(cid:16) on the first day of the month immediately 
following the month of hiring are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan allows eligible employees to make salary-deferred 
contributions up to (cid:22)(cid:20)(cid:4) of their pre-tax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, as long as the total contributed does not 
exceed the annual maximum allowable amount under the Internal (cid:44)evenue Code. The Company makes a semi-monthly 
matching contribution of (cid:16)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:4) of the employee(cid:6)s contribution for that pay period, up to a maximum of (cid:19)(cid:4) of the employee(cid:6)s 
eligible gross compensation for that pay period. Company contributions vest ratably based on years of service over a four year 
period, beginning with the completion of the first year of service. For the years ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, 2(cid:15)2(cid:16), and 2(cid:15)2(cid:15), we

value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent 
to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires us to use observable inputs when available and to minimize the use of 
unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows(cid:25)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:81)

(cid:33)e(cid:71)el (cid:12)(cid:10) Observable inputs based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities(cid:26)

(cid:33)e(cid:71)el (cid:13)(cid:10) Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly(cid:26) and

(cid:33)e(cid:71)el (cid:14)(cid:10) Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, and which require us to develop our own 
estimates and assumptions reflecting those that a market participant would use.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input 

that is significant to the fair value measurement. (cid:48)aluation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and 
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There were no instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using 
significant unobservable inputs during the years ended (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16).

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows(cid:25) 

(cid:24)(cid:16)

comparable assets or liabilities(cid:26)

market expectations about those future amounts(cid:26) and

(cid:24)ost approac(cid:57)(cid:10) (cid:28)ased on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (cid:7)i.e., 
replacement cost(cid:8).

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses 

approximate fair value as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) because of the relatively short duration of these instruments. 
Additionally, the carrying value of our debt associated with the term loan facility approximates fair value because the interest 
rates are variable and reset on a relatively short durations to the then market rates.

(cid:17)nvestments

Our investment portfolio consists largely of debt investments classified as available-for-sale. Changes in the fair value of 
available-for-sale securities, excluding other-than-temporary impairments, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive 
loss in our consolidated balance sheets. The components of our investments as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 and 2(cid:15)2(cid:16) are as follows

We maintain (cid:84)disclosure controls and procedures,(cid:85) as defined in (cid:44)ule (cid:16)(cid:18)a-(cid:16)(cid:20)(cid:7)e(cid:8) and (cid:44)ule (cid:16)(cid:20)d-(cid:16)(cid:20)(cid:7)e(cid:8) under the Exchange 
Act that are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the 
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. 
(cid:30)isclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required 
to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its 
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions 
regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the 
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22. (cid:28)ased on the evaluation of our disclosure 
controls and procedures as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of 
such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such 

term is defined in (cid:44)ules (cid:16)(cid:18)a-(cid:16)(cid:20)(cid:7)f(cid:8) and (cid:16)(cid:20)(cid:7)d(cid:8)-(cid:16)(cid:20)(cid:7)f(cid:8) of the Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our 
internal control over financial reporting as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (cid:7)(cid:84)COSO(cid:85)(cid:8) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (cid:7)2(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:18)(cid:8). (cid:28)ased on this 
assessment, management concluded that, as of (cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The Annual (cid:44)eport on Form (cid:16)(cid:15)-(cid:37) includes an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm 

regarding internal control over financial reporting, which appears in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual (cid:44)eport on Form (cid:16)(cid:15)-(cid:37).

(cid:24)(cid:57)an(cid:56)es in Internal (cid:24)ontrol O(cid:71)er (cid:27)inancial Reportin(cid:56)

There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended 

(cid:30)ecember (cid:18)(cid:16), 2(cid:15)22 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial 
reporting.

In(cid:57)erent (cid:33)i(cid:62)itations on (cid:26)(cid:55)(cid:55)ecti(cid:71)eness o(cid:55) (cid:24)ontrols

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes our disclosure controls and 

procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their 
objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. (cid:34)owever, our management does not expect our disclosure 
controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no 
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control 
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact there are resource constraints, and the benefits of 
controls must be considered relative to their costs. (cid:28)ecause of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of 
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent 
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a 
simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two 
or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its 
stated goals under all potential future conditions(cid:26) over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions 
or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. (cid:28)ecause of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective 
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
