10-K or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not 
actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should 
not  place  undue  reliance  on  our  forward-looking  statements.  Our  forward-looking  statements  do  not  reflect  the

cannot provide enterprise-grade service and support. We believe traditional large-scale network providers lack the 
capabilities  to  build  robust  software  platforms  for  agile  development  of  communications  solutions.  Enterprises
focus  on  their  core  businesses  and  lack  the  technical  know-how  or  strategic  flexibility  to  build  the  customized 
solutions they require in-house. As a result, enterprises need a third-party, end-to-end, cloud-based software solution 
that eliminates the complexity and expense of building and maintaining their own communications platform.

Segments

We have two reportable segments, CPaaS and Other. Segments are evaluated based on revenue and gross 
profit. We do not allocate operating expenses, interest expense or income tax expense to our segments. Accordingly,
we do not report such information. We generate a majority of our revenue from our CPaaS segment. CPaaS revenue 
is derived from voice usage, phone number services, emergency calling-enabled phone number services, messaging 
services  and  other  services.  We  generate  a  portion  of  our  CPaaS  revenue  from  usage-based  fees,  which  include 
voice calling and messaging services. We also earn monthly fees from services such as phone number services and 
emergency  access  service.  The  remainder  of  our  revenue  is  generated  by  our  Other  segment.  Other  revenue  is 
composed of revenue earned from our l(cid:72)(cid:74)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:89)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:54)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:49)(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:54)(cid:72)(cid:74)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:42)(cid:72)(cid:82)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:75)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:3)

broad array of use cases. Our software can be implemented directly into product workflow for a variety of 
custom solutions such as creation of virtual call centers, group messaging and dynamic call location routing. 
We enable developers to easily and rapidly innovate with our platform. 

Key Benefits of Our Network

Our IP voice network provides the following benefits to the enterprises we serve:

(cid:135)

Enhanced Quality and Reliability. We offer greater levels of quality and delivery assurance than providers 
offering  services  across  the  public  Internet  or  through  partnerships. As  a  result,  the  enterprises  we  serve
have enjoyed 99.9% network uptime in 2020.

Total  Accountability.  The  ability  to  vertically  integrate  our  software  platform  with  our  IP  voice  network 
provides  us  with  a  differentiated  ability  to  continuously  monitor,  report  and  resolve  any  software-  or 
network-related issues on a real-time basis. For our enterprise customers, having a single platform solution 
for  their  entire  communications  requirements,  including  software  and  network,  offers  tremendous  value 
with  respect  to  time  and  financial  resources.  Our  service-level  agreements  with  our  enterprise  customers 
assure that we provide high quality service and give them peace of mind and confidence in our service. 

(cid:135) Owner  Economics  Drives  Value  for  Our  Customers. The  differentiated  pairing  of  our  software  combined 
with  owning  the  delivery  capability  in  the  United  States  through  our  IP  voice  network  creates  lower 
marginal costs at scale, which we are able to pass on to our customers.

platform provides us distinct competitive advantages that include consistent high quality, in-depth enterprise
support, real-time network visibility and economies of scale.

(cid:135) Deep  Experience  and  Expertise  in  Voice  and  Messaging.  The  combination  of  our  versatile  software API 
platform and our IP voice network control allows us to offer not just best efforts, but best-in-class voice and 
messaging  solutions  for  enterprises.  Our  senior  leadership  team  has  a  combined  100+  years  of  industry 
experience and an average tenure with Bandwidth of more than a decade.

(cid:135) Growing,  Long-Term  Relationships  with  Low  Customer  Churn.  We  deliver  comprehensive  solutions  that 
address  the  unique  and  complex  needs  of  the  enterprises  we  serve.  As  a  result,  these  enterprises  have 
continued to innovate and grow with our platform over extended time frames. Our relationship with each of 
r
the  enterprises  we  serve  often  expands  across  different  product  suites,  divisions  and  use  cases  over time. 
Our customers include large enterprises and small and medium-sized businesses across various industries,
and we rarely lose customers that have been on our platform for more than three months. For example, a 
number of our largest enterprise customers have been on our platform for more than ten years. Based on 
surveys  conducted  after  customer  interactions  in  2020,  our  customers  have  expressed  a  97%  satisfaction 
rate. 

(cid:135) Culture.  While  we  will  always  be  mission-first,  our people  ensure that  we  deliver  on our  mission  for  the 
customers we proudly serve. We seek to identify, attract, and retain team members who will contribute to 
our inclusive culture that promotes diversity of thought and experience. Our Whole Person Promise is at the
core of our culture. We believe that each of our team members can do meaningful work while enjoying a 
full personal life. We have developed a variety of programs to help our team members develop and maintain 
their  bodies,  minds  and  spirits  in  connection  with  our  Whole  Person  Promise.  Additionally,  we  have  a

Our Growth Strategy

(cid:135)

Expand  Existing  Enterprise  Relationships.  We  seek  to  continue  to  expand  our  relationships  with  our 
existing enterprise customers. For example, enterprises often initially purchase only our voice solution and 
later  expand to  purchase  additional services  like  messaging  and  emergency  calling  capability.  Enterprises 
often  launch  voice,  messaging  or  emergency  calling  in  one  country  or  region  and  expand  to  additional 
geographies over time. Additionally, we are able to help enterprises scale efficiently and offer their solutions 
to more of their customers as they grow.

(cid:135) Grow  Our  Enterprise  Customer  Base.  We  believe  there  is  a  substantial  opportunity  to  increase  our 
enterprise  customer  base  across  a  broad  range  of  industries,  companies  and  geographies.  We  plan  to 
continue to grow and invest in our direct sales force and marketing to increase our enterprise customer base.

through dramatic waves of change in communications technology. We were early to deploy software-based 
networks and to offer hosted cloud-based voice services, while building out one of the fastest growing IP 
d
voice  networks  over  the  last  ten  years  in  the  United  States.  We  have  expanded  our  coverage  to  over  60
countries. Our team has continued to adapt to a dynamic environment to grow our business, and we intend 
to invest in continued development of our platform and product features to support new use cases and help 
our enterprise customers succeed as communications technologies evolve. 

(cid:135) Cultivate  Long  Term  Relationships  Through  Customer  Satisfaction.  We  intend  to  continue  focusing  on 
delivering world-class services and support to the enterprises we serve to ensure a high level of satisfaction. 
We  believe  that  satisfied  customers  provide  vital  product  feedback,  purchase  additional  services,  renew 
contracts at a high rate and provide broad advocacy and new customer referrals for our business.

Pursue  Acquisitions  and  Strategic  Investments  Selectively.  We  may  selectively  pursue  acquisitions  and 
strategic investments in businesses and technologies that strengthen our platform.

Our Customers

We  have  a  broad  and  diversified  customer  base.  We  benefit  from  longstanding  relationships  with  well-
recognized enterprise customers, as well as small and medium-sized businesses. Many of our customers have multi-
year contracts, with no single customer representing 10% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. 

Our  management  is  highly  focused  on  creating  and  maintaining  strategic  partnerships  beyond  standard 
transactional  customer  relationships.  We  empower  enterprises  to  create,  scale  and  operate  voice  or  messaging 
communications  services  across  any  mobile  application  or  connected  device,  and  this  ability  reinforces  our 
customer relationships. 

The majority of our customers sign master service agreement(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:48)(cid:54)(cid:36)(cid:86)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)
conditions, including billing and payment, default, termination, limitations of liability, confidentiality, assignment 
and  notification,  and  other  key  terms  and  conditions.  Customers  order  specific  services  in  separate  service  order 
forms  that  incorporate  the  applicable  MSA.  Each  service  order  form  details  the  minimum  contract  duration,  any 
applicable monthly recurring charge and applicable non-recurring charges. The terms and conditions for each order 
are also specified in the applicable service order form. 

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing teams work together to identify and establish relationships with prospects, acquire 
new  enterprise  customers,  expand  relationships  with existing  enterprises  and  integrate  them  with  our 
communications  platform.  Our  marketing  staff  generates leads through  our  website,  online  marketing  campaigns,
webinars,  sponsored  events,  white  papers,  public  relations  and  other  outbound  lead  development  efforts.  Our 
marketing staff also targets companies with products that could use our services for the first time or to displace our 
competitors. Our marketing initiatives enhance awareness and adoption of our services.

We  engage  potential  customers  and  existing  customers  through  an  enterprise  sales  approach.  Our  sales 
executives  directly  engage  C-level  executives  and  other  senior  business,  product  and  technical  decision  makers
responsible  for  the  end  user  experience  and  financial  results  at  their  enterprises.  Our  sales  executives  work  to

educate these decision makers and their teams about the benefits of using our communications platform to launch 
and scale robust communications experiences. Our sales team includes sales development, inside sales, field sales
and sales engineering personnel.

As of December 31, 2020, we had 216 employees in our sales and marketing organization.

Research and Development

Our ability to compete depends in large part on our continuous commitment to research and development 
(cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:53)(cid:9)(cid:39)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:58)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:78)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:88)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:79)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:81)hance our existing services and develop new products and services. Our 
product and network teams are responsible for the design, development, testing and release of our platform. These
teams  closely  coordinate  with  our  executive  management,  which  is  responsible  for  creating  a  vision  for  our 
platform, and with our sales and marketing teams, which relay enterprise demands and possible new use cases or 
enhancements. Our development efforts focus on the availability and resiliency of our communications platform and
our network, including infrastructure, ease-of-use and flexibility, end-user experience and ability to integrate with 
other enterprise systems. 

As of December 31, 2020, we had 296 employees in our R&D organization.

Competition

The  CPaaS  market  is  rapidly  evolving  and  increasingly  competitive.  We  believe  that  the  principal

competitive factors in our market are:

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

platform scalability, reliability, deliverability, security and performance;

network control and quality;

global reach; 

completeness of offering; 

ease of integration and programmability;

product features; 

customer support; 

ability to deliver measurable value and savings;

the cost of deploying and using our service offerings; 

the strength of sales and marketing efforts;

brand awareness and reputation; and 

credibility with product executives and developers.

We  believe  that  we  compete  favorably  based  on  the  factors  listed  above  and  believe  that  none  of  our 

competitors currently competes directly with us across all our product offerings. 

Our competitors fall into two primary categories: 

(cid:135) CPaaS companies that offer a narrower set of software APIs, less robust customer support and fewer other 

features while relying on third-party networks and physical infrastructure; and 

(cid:135)

network  service  providers  that  offer  limited  developer  functionality  on  top  of  their  own  networks  and 
physical infrastructure, such as AT&T, Colt, Lumen and Verizon. 

10

Some  of  our  competitors  have  greater  financial,  technical  and  other  resources,  greater  geographic  reach,
greater name recognition, larger sales and marketing budgets and larger intellectual property portfolios. As a result, 
certain  competitors  may  be  able  to  respond  more  quickly  and  effectively  than  we  can  to  new  or  changing
opportunities, technologies, standards or enterprise requirements. In addition, some competitors may offer products 
or services that address one or a limited number of functions at lower prices, with greater depth than our services or 
in  geographies  where  we  do  not  operate.  With  the  introduction  of  new  products  and  services  and  new  market 
dd
entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. Moreover, as we expand the scope of our platform, we
may face additional competition.

Intellectual Property

We  rely  on  a  combination  of  patent,  copyright,  trademark  and  trade  secret  laws  in  the  United  States  and 
other  jurisdictions,  as  well  as  license  agreements  and  other  contractual  protections,  to  protect  our  proprietary 
technology. We also rely on registered and unregistered trademarks to protect our brand.

As of December 31, 2020, we had fifteen U.S. patents and two U.S. patent application pending. In addition,

as of December 31, 2020, we had twenty-four registered trademarks in the United States and elsewhere. 

We seek to protect our intellectual property rights by implementing a policy that requires our employees and 
independent  contractors  involved  in  development  of  intellectual  property  on  our  behalf  to  enter  into  agreements 
acknowledging that all works or other intellectual property generated or conceived by them on our behalf are our 
property, and assigning to us any rights, including intellectual property rights, that they may claim or otherwise have 
in those works or property, to the extent allowable under applicable law. 

Despite  our  efforts  to  protect  our  technology  and  proprietary  rights  through  intellectual  property  rights, 
licenses  and  other  contractual  protections,  unauthorized  parties  may  still  copy  or  otherwise  obtain  and  use  our 
software  and  other  technology.  Any  significant  impairment  of  our  intellectual  property  rights  could  harm  our 
business or our ability to compete. Further, companies in the communications and technology industries may own 
large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks and may frequently threaten litigation, or file suit against us 
based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In the future, we may face
f
allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties, including our competitors and non-
practicing entities. 

Employees

As of December 31, 2020, we had a total of 960 employees, who are primarily located in the United States,
Europe  and  Asia  Pacific.  None  of  our  employees  are  represented  by  a  labor  union  or  covered  by  a  collective 
bargaining  agreement.  We  have  not  experienced  any  work  stoppages,  and  we  consider  our  relations  with  our 
employees to be good.

Regulatory

General

We and the communications services that we provide through our software APIs are subject to many U.S.
federal and state and foreign laws and regulations. These laws and regulations may concern telecommunications, as 
well as privacy, data protection, intellectual property, competition, consumer protection, taxation or other subjects.
Many  of  the  laws  and  regulations  to  which  we  and  the  communications  services  that  we  provide  through  our 
software APIs are subject are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in ways that could 
harm our business. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain,
particularly  in  the  new  and  rapidly  evolving  industry  in  which  we  operate.  Because  laws  and  regulations  have
continued to develop and evolve rapidly, it is possible that we may not be, or may not have been, compliant with 
each such applicable law or regulation.

telecommunications market, subject to reasonable state regulation of safety, quality and consumer protection. The
industry  continues  to  evolve  toward  new  services  built  upon  IP  technologies. With  these  technological  advances,
there  have  been  challenges  to  the  traditional  regulatory  structure  under  the  1996 Act. Among  the  challenges  that 
have arisen is fraud and abuse in the form of illegal robocalling and unwanted text messaging. Recently, Congress 
passed  and  the  President  signed  the  TRACED  Act.  Among  other  things,  the  TRACED  Act  directs  the  FCC  to

the  FCC  is  conducting  several  proceedings  to  understand  and  address  fraud  and  abuse  in  the  form  of  illegal
robocalling. Among various FCC proceedings and orders, on December 23, 2020 the FCC granted our application 
for  a  STIR/SHAKEN  compliance  exemption  for  our  IP  network  and  services.    Separately,  the  FCC  also  thwarts

indirectly  affect  us  because  they  directly  apply  to  our  customers.  Additionally,  several  state  public  utility

telecommunications services, such as the obligation to pay intrastate universal service fees and other state-related 
telecommunications  taxes,  fees  and  surcharges.  We  cannot  predict  whether  the  FCC  or  state  public  utility 
commissions will impose additional requirements, regulations or charges upon our provision of services related to
IP communications. 

Universal Service. Some of our services are subject to federal and state regulations that implement universal 
service support for access to communications services in rural and high-cost areas and to low-income consumers at 
reasonable  rates;  and  access  to  advanced  communications  services  by  schools,  libraries  and  rural  health  care 
providers. In some instances, these regulations indirectly affect us because they directly apply to our customers. The 
ff
FCC  assesses  us  a  percentage  of  interstate  and  international  revenue  we  receive  from  certain  customers  as  our 
contribution  to  the  Federal  Universal  Service  Fund,  which  assessments  we  generally  pass  on  to  our  customers.
Additionally, the FCC has ruled that states may assess contributions to their state Universal Service Funds on VoIP

relevant to us, generally a six-year transition period that began July 1, 2012.

Pursuant to the USF/ICC Transformation Order, VoIP, while remaining unclassified as either an information 
or a telecommunications service, was prospectively categorized as either local or non-local traffic. On December 17, 
2019, t(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:41)(cid:38)(cid:38)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:47)(cid:40)(cid:38)(cid:86)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:90)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)
access charges only if the LEC or its VoIP partner provides a physical connection to the last-mile facilities used to 
serve an end user.  If neither the LEC nor its VoIP partner provides such a physical connection, the LEC may not 
assess  end  office  switched  access  charges  because  it  is  not  providing  the  functional  equivalent  of  end  office 
switched access.   The  FCC  also  decided  to  give  its order  retroactive  effect. We  cannot predict the impact  on our 
business, including whether other carriers will agree with our legal interpretations and treatments, at this time.  

In a Report and Order released on October 9, 2020 the FCC adopted new rules governing various aspects of 
the  intercarrier  compensation  structure  applicable  to  toll  free  (8YY)  calls  (cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:27)(cid:60)(cid:60)(cid:3) (cid:50)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:74)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3) (cid:36)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:72)ss  Reform 
(cid:50)(cid:85)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:180)(cid:12).  The new 8YY originating access rules took effect on December 28, 2020.  The new rules will shift most 
switched access charges for 8YY calls to a bill-and-keep framework over a three-year period.

configuration of customer equipment and transmission of emergency calls in variety of different settings have and 
will take effect.  The rules address the obligations of communication service providers and software providers, like
us,  as  well  as  equipment  installers,  managers  and  operators  of  a  variety  of  different  types  of  communications 
systems.  Generally,  the  rules  require  uniformity  in  dialing  patterns  for  contacting  emergency  operators,
implementing  central  notification  functionalities,  and  rules  governing  the  transmission  of  more  precise  location 
information in enterprise or campus environments. The granularity of the location information depends on the type
of  service.  For  example,  fixed  and  nomadic  VoIP  services  that  can  only  be  used  within  a  certain  location  have
different requirements than nomadic services that can be used both within and outside of certain locations. There is 
some ambiguity in the rules as to the specific obligations of each party involved in the service delivery chain and 
the rules have not been interpreted by the FCC or a court due to their recent promulgation and, in some cases, some
of the rules are not yet effective.  To the extent that we do not comply with these rules for any reason, we may be
subject to enforcement actions by the FCC, other federal agencies as well as state agencies. We could also be subject 
to personal liability claims in certain instances. 

State Telecommunications Regulation

The 1996 Act intended to increase competition in the telecommunications industry, especially in the local 
(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:58)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:89)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:88)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:44)(cid:47)(cid:40)(cid:38)(cid:86)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:55)(cid:9)(cid:55)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:84)(cid:88)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)
allow  interconnection  to  their  incumbent  networks  and  to  provide  access  to  network  facilities,  as  well  as  several
other pro-competitive measures.

State  regulatory  agencies  have  jurisdiction  when  our  facilities  and  services  are  used  to  provide  intrastate
telecommunications  services.  A  portion  of  our  traffic  may  be  classified  as  intrastate  telecommunications  and 
therefore subject to state regulation. We are authorized to provide competitive local exchange telecommunications 

13

 
services  in  49  states  and  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  thus  are  subject  to  these  additional  regulatory  regimes. 
Changes in applicable state regulations could affect our business.

In addition, we need to maintain interconnection agreements with ILECs where we wish to provide service, 
which are subject to approval by individual states and subject to state arbitration in the event of disputes. We expect 
that  we  should  be  able  to  negotiate  or  otherwise  obtain  renewals  or  successor  agreements  through  adoption  of 
(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:182)(cid:3) (cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:74)(cid:75)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3) (cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:74)(cid:75) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:69)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:82)
interconnection and the exchange of traffic with certain ILECs could change significantly in certain cases. 

International

As we have expanded internationally, we have become subject to telecommunications laws and regulations 
in the non-US jurisdictions where we offer our services.  Prior to our November 2020 acquisition of Voxbone, we
concentrated our efforts in Europe, including the United Kingdom.  Following our November 2020 acquisition of 
Voxbone, we became subject to telecommunications laws and regulations in other non-US jurisdictions where we 
offer our services. 

The  European  Electronic  Communications  Code.  In  2002,  the  European  Council  adopted  a  set  of  six
(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:90)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:80)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:90)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:40)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:19)(cid:21)(cid:3)(cid:39)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:86)

the Access  Directive,  the  Universal  Service  Directive  and  the  E-Privacy  Directive,  each  of  which  applies  or  will 
apply  to  us.    In  2009  the  European  Council  adopted  two  directives  that  amended  the  Framework  Directive,  the
Authorization  Directive,  the  Access  Directive,  the  Universal  Service  Directive  and  the  E-Privacy  Directive  (the

member  states  to  implement  national  laws  consistent  with  the  EECC,  although  most  member  states  have  not 
adopted implementing legislation.          

(cid:80)

Part I of the EECC – The Framework

. Part I of the EECC describes the European regulatory framework and 
defines  terms.  Part  I  of  the  EECC  also  mandates  the  independence  of  the  national  regulatory  authorities  (the 
(cid:179)(cid:49)(cid:53)(cid:36)(cid:86)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3) (cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:71)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3) (cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:90)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:17)(cid:3) (cid:51)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:3) (cid:44)(cid:3) (cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:40)(cid:40)(cid:38)(cid:38)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:3) (cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:85)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)
governing the provision of electronic communications networks and services.

Part II of the EECC – Networks

. Part II of the EECC establishes a uniform framework for the regulation of 
access to and the interconnection of electronic communications networks, including spectrum licensing.  Part II of 
the EECC also outlines the relationships among suppliers of network and services, including principles to govern
contractual  relationships  and  regulatory  involvement  by  the  NRAs  as  necessary.  Part  II  of  the  EECC  effectively 
governs the relationships among service providers at a wholesale level and defines the principle of market analysis
and significant market power, and related termination rates. 

Part III of the EECC - Services. Part III of the EECC governs universal service obligations and the provision of 
electronic communication networks and services to end users. Part III of the EECC seeks to ensure that end users
have access to a minimum set of services, including access to emergency services.  However, the minimum set of 
services is not required to be provided by all providers. Instead, the applicable NRAs may designate one or more 
companies  to  achieve  the  universal  service  in  each  country.  It  also  establishes  the  principles  governing  the
management of telephone numbers and the licensure requirements for the allocation of telephone numbers.

The  E-Privacy  Directive.  The  E-Privacy  Directive  seeks  to  ensure  privacy  and  confidentiality  in  the
processing of personal data in electronic communications. The E-Privacy Directive requires providers of publicly 
available electronic communications services to take appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard 
the  security  of  services.  These  measures  must:  ensure  that  personal  data  can  be  accessed  only  by  authorized 
personnel for legally authorized purposes; protect personal data stored or transmitted against accidental or unlawful
destruction, accidental loss or alteration, and unauthorized or unlawful storage, processing, access or disclosure; and 
ensure  the  implementation  of  a  security  policy  with  respect  to  the  processing  of  personal  data.  The  E-Privacy 
Directive also requires notification of any breach or loss of personal data to the applicable NRA.

Implementing National Legislation. The directives of the European Council ensure substantial similarities 
among  nations,  but  not  absolute  uniformity.  Each  of  the EU  member  states  must  adopt  national  legislation  to
implement the directives of the European Council.

provided that EU law applied in and in relation to the UK only through December 2020. Thereafter, the EECC will
no  longer  directly  apply  in  the  U.K.  We  do  not  anticipate  considerable  changes,  however,  since  the  EECC  has           
been transposed into U.K. law as of December 2020.

Other Non-US Jurisdictions. Following our November 2020 acquisition of Voxbone, we became subject to 
telecommunications laws and regulations in other non-US jurisdictions where we offer our services. These laws and 
regulations may concern telecommunications, as well as privacy, data protection, intellectual property, competition,
consumer protection, taxation or other subjects.

Risks Related to Our Business

The success of our growth and expansion plans depends on a number of factors that are beyond our control.

We have grown our business considerably over the last several years. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to
maintain  our  growth  or  that  we  will  choose  to  target  the  same  pace  of  growth  in  the  future.  Our  success  in  achieving 
continued growth depends upon several factors including:

sell and operate effectively or successfully;

(cid:135)

The recent COVID-19 pandemic and the global attempt to contain it may harm our business and results of operations.

The global spread of novel coronavirus disease ((cid:179)COVID-19(cid:180)) and the various measures to contain its effects

have created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption worldwide. The pandemic has severely curtailed 
all travel and most of our employees now work from home, which disrupts how we typically operate. We may experience

slowdowns in customer payments, increased customer churn, and reduced usage of our communications platform by some 
customers. 

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend 
on numerous evolving factors that we may not
 be able to accurately predict. These include: the duration and scope of the 
ppandemic;  governmental,  business  and  individual  actions  that have  been  and  continue  to  be  taken  in  response  to  the

The market for cloud communications is rapidly evolving, significantly fragmented and highly competitive, with 
relatively low barriers to entry in some segments. The principal competitive factor
s in our market include completeness of

offering,  credibility  with  enterprises  and  developers,  global  reach,  ease  of  integration  and  programmability,  product 
features,  platform  scalability,  reliability,  deliverability, security  and  performance,  brand  awareness  and  reputation,  the 
strength of sales and marketing efforts and customer support, as well as the cost of deploying and using our services. Our 
competitors fall into two primary categories:

Some of our competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater name recognition, longer operating 
histories, more established customer relationships, a larger 
global reach, larger budgets and significantly greater resources
than  we  do.  In  addition,  they  have  the  operating  flexibility  to  bundle  competing  products  and  services  at  little  or  no 
incremental cost, including offering them at a lower price as part of a larger sales transaction. As a result, our competitors
may  be  able  to  respond  more  quickly  and  effectively  than  we  can  to  new  or  changing  opportunities,  technologies,
standards  or  customer  requirements.  In  addition,  some  competitors  may  offer  services  that  address  one  or  a  limited 
number  of  functions  at  lower  prices,  with  greater  depth  than  our  services  or  in  different  geographies.  Our  current  and

With the introduction of new services and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future.

as  we  expand  the  scope  of  our  services,  we  may  face  additional  competition.  Further,  customers  and  consumers  may
choose to adopt other forms of electronic communications or alternative communication platforms, including developing 
necessary networks and platforms in-house.

Furthermore, if our competitors were to merge such that the combined entity would be able to compete fully with 
our service offering, then our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely effected. If one or 
more  of  our  competitors  were  to  merge  or  partner  with  another  of  our  competitors,  the  change  in  the  competitive 
landscape  could  also  adversely  affect  our  ability  to  compete  effectively.  In  addition,  pricing  pressures  and  increased 
competition generally could result in reduced revenue, reduced margins, increased losses or the failure of our services to
achieve  or  maintain  widespread  market  acceptance,  any  of  which  could  harm  our  business,  results  of  operations  and 
financial condition.

Our  current  and  potential competitors  have  developed  and  may  develop  in the future  product  solutions  that are
available internationally as well as domestically. To the extent that customers seek product solutions that include support 
and  scaling  internationally,  they  may  choose  to  use  other  service  providers  to  fill  their  communication  service  needs

slower growth and lower brand name recognition amongst our industry competitors, any or all of which could harm our

In order to grow our business, we must continue to attract new customers in a cost-effective manner. We use a
a 
variety of marketing channels to promote our services and our communications platform, and we periodically adjust the
mix of our marketing programs. If the costs of the marketing channels we use increase dramatically, then we may choose
to use alternative and less expensive channels, which may not be as effective as the channels we currently use. As we add 
to or change the mix of our marketing strategies, we may need to expand into more expensive channels than those we are

marketing initiatives may generate, and these expenses may not result in increased revenue or brand awareness. We have 
made in the past, and may make in the future, significant expenditures and investments in new marketing campaigns. We

w 
and unproven and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We believe that our future success will depend in large 
ppart on the growth, if any, of this market. For example, the utilization of software APIs by developers and organizations to
bbuild  communications functionality  into their  applications is  still relatively  new,  and  developers  and organizations  may 
not recognize the need for, or benefits of, our services and platform. Moreover, if they do not recognize the need for and 
bbenefits of our services and platform, they may decide to adopt alternative services and/or develop the necessary services 
in-house to satisfy their business needs. In order to grow our business and expand our market position, we intend to focus 

19

 
   
 
 
on  educating  enterprise  customers  about  the  benefits  of  our  services  and  platform,  expanding  the  functionality  of  our 
services and bringing new technologies to market to increase market acceptance and use of our platform. Our ability to
expand  the  market  that  our  services  and  platform  address  depends  upon  a  number  of  factors,  including  the  cost, 
pperformance and perceived value associated with such services and platform. The market for our services and platform
could fail to grow significantly or there could be a reduction in demand for our services and platform as a result of a lack 
of  customer  acceptance,  technological  changes  or  challenges,  competing  services,  platforms  and  services,  decreases  in 
spending  by  current  and  prospective  customers,  weakening  economic  conditions,  geopolitical  developments,  global 
ppandemics or other causes. If our market does not experience significant growth or demand for our services and platform 
decreases, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We currently generate all of our revenue from enterprise customers. Our ability to expand our sales to enterprise

With  respect  to  enterprise  customers,  the  decision  to  adopt  our  services  may  require  the  approval  of  multiple
technical and business decision makers, including security, compliance, procurement, operations and IT. In addition, while
enterprise  customers  may  quickly  deploy  our  services  on  a  limited  basis,  before  they  will  commit  to  deploying  our 
services at scale, they often require extensive education about our services and significant customer support time, engage
in protracted pricing negotiations and seek to secure readily available development resources. In addition, sales cycles for 
enterprises  are  inherently  complex,  and  some  enterprise  customers  may  not  generate  revenue  that  justifies  the  cost  to
obtain such customers. In addition, these complex and resource-intensive sales efforts could place additional strain on our 
limited product and engineering resources. Further, enterprises, including some of our customers, may choose to develop 
their own solutions that do not include our services. They also may demand reductions in pricing as their usage of our 
services  increases,  which  could  have  an  adverse  impact  on  our  gross  margin.  Our  efforts  to  sell  to  these  potential 
customers  may  not  be  successful.  If  we  are  unable  to  increase  the  revenue  that  we  derive  from  enterprises,  then  our

If  we  do  not  develop  enhancements  to  our  services and  introduce  new  services  that  achieve market  acceptance,  our 
business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers depends in part on our ability 
to enhance and improve our existing services, increase adoption and usage of our services and introduce new services. The 
success of any enhancements or new services depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality 
testing, actual performance quality, market-accepted pricing levels and overall market acceptance. Enhancements and new 
services that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors or defects, may 
have interoperability difficulties with our communications platform or other services or may not achieve the broad market 
acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. We also must integrate with a variety of network, hardware, mobile
and software platforms and technologies, which requires us to enhance and modify our products and our communications 
pplatform  to  adapt  to  changes  and  innovation  in  these  technologies.  Wireline  and  wireless  telephone  providers  or  cell-
pphone  operating  system  providers  such  as  Apple  and  Goog
le  have  developed  and  may  in  the  future  develop  new
applications, functions or technologies intended to filter illegal robocalls or other unwanted phone calls or messages. Such 
applications,  functions  or  technologies  may  inadvertently  filter  legal  and  desired  calls  or  messages  to  or  from  our 
customers.  In  certain  instances,  we  may  need  to  update  our  services  and  technology  to  wo
rk  with  these  applications, 
u
functions or technologies. Any failure to operate effectively with evolving or new technologies could reduce the demand 
for our services. If we cannot respond to these changes cost-effectively, our services may become less marketable and less 
competitive or obsolete, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. To the 
extent that upgrades of existing products, services and technology are required for the introduction of new services, the 
success  of  these  upgrades  also  may  be  dependent  on  reaching  mutually  acceptable  terms  with  vendors  and  on  vendors
meeting their obligations in a timely manner.

ff

Furthermore,  our ability  to  increase the  usage  of  our services  depends, in  part, on  the  development  of  new  use
cases for our services, which may be outside of our control. Our ability to generate usage of additional services by our 
customers may also require increasingly sophisticated and more costly sales efforts and result in a longer sales cycle. If we
are unable to successfully enhance our existing services to meet evolving customer requirements, increase adoption and 
usage of our services or develop new services, or if our efforts to increase the usage of our services are more expensive
than we expect, then our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We have experienced rapid growth and expect our growth to continue, and if we fail to effectively manage our growth,
then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We have experienced substantial growth in our business since inception, which has placed and may continue to
pplace  significant  demands  on  our  corporate  culture,  operational  infrastructure  and  management.  We  believe  that  our 
corporate  culture  has  been  a  critical  component  of  our  success.  We  have  invested  substantial  time  and  resources  in 
bbuilding  our  team  and  nurturing  our  culture. As  we  expand  our  business,  grow  internationally  and  mature  as  a  public
ate  culture  while  managing  this  growth,  particularly  if 
f
company,  we  may  find  it  difficult  to  maintain  our  corpor
governmental responses to COVID-19 require that many of our employees work remotely for a prolonged period of time. 

21

 
 
 
 
Any failure to manage our anticipated growth and organizational changes in a manner that preserves the key aspects of 
f
our culture could hurt our chance for future success, including our ability to recruit and retain personnel, and effectively 
y
focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. This, in turn, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and 
financial condition.

In addition, as we have rapidly grown, our organizational structure has become more complex. In order to manage
these  increasing  complexities,  we  will  need  to  continue to  scale  and  adapt  our  operational,  financial  and  management 
controls, as well as our reporting systems and procedures. The expansion of our systems and infrastructure will require us
to  commit  substantial  financial,  operational  and  management  resources  before  our  revenue  increases  and  without  any 
assurances that our revenue will increase.

t

tt
Finally, if this growth continues, it could strain our abilit
y to maintain reliable service levels for our customers. If 
f
we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency in our organization as we grow, then our business, results of operations
and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our pricing and billing systems are complex and errors could adversely affect our revenue and profits.

Our pricing and billing efforts are complex to develop and challenging to implement. To be profitable, we must 
have accurate and complete information about the costs associated with voice and messaging, and properly incorporate 
such information into our pricing model. Our pricing model must also reflect accurate and current information about the
market for our services, including the pricing of competitive alte
rnatives for our services, as well as reliable forecasts of 
f
traffic volume. We may determine pricing for our services based on data that is outdated or otherwise flawed. Even if we 
have complete and accurate market information, we may not set prices to optimize both revenue and profitability. If we
pprice  our  services  too  high,  the  amount  of  traffic  that our  customers  may  route  to  our  network  may  decrease  and 
accordingly our revenue may decline. If we price our services too low, our margins may be adversely affected, which will
reduce our ability to achieve and maintain profitability.

Additionally, we rely on third parties to provide us with key software and services for our billing. If these third 
pparties cease to provide those services to us for any reason, or fail to perform billing services accurately and completely,
we may not be able to deliver accurate invoices promptly. Delays in invoicing can lead to delays in revenue recognition,
and inaccuracies in our billing could result in lost revenue. If we fail to adapt quickly and effectively to changes affecting
our costs, pricing and billing, our profitability and cash flow will be adversely affected.

We must continue to develop effective business support systems to implement customer orders and to provide and bill 
ffor services.

We depend on our ability to continue to develop effective business support systems. This complicated undertaking 
requires  significant  resources  and  expertise  and  support  from  third-party  vendors.  Following  the  development  of  the

effective business support systems or complete the data migration into these systems, it could materially adversely affect 
our  ability  to  implement  our  business  plans,  realize  antici
pated  benefits  from  our  acquisitions,  if  any,  and  meet  our

IIf we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand and increase market awareness of our company and services, 
then our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand identity and increasing market awareness of our company 
and services are critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our company and our communications platform, as well as
to  strengthen  our  relationships  with  our  existing  customers  and  to  our  ability  to  attract  new  customers. The  successful 
ppromotion  of  our  brand  will  depend  largely  on  our  continued  marketing  efforts,  our  ability  to  continue  to  offer  high 
quality services and our ability to successfully differentiate our services from competing products and services. Our brand

our brand may be harmed.

From time to time, our customers have complained about our services, such as complaints about our pricing and 
customer  support.  If  we  do  not  handle  customer  complaints  effectively,  then  our  brand  and  reputation  may  suffer,  our 
customers  may  lose  confidence in  us and they  may  reduce  or  cease  their  use of  our  services.  In  addition, many  of  our 
customers  post  and  discuss  on  social  media  about  products and  services,  including  our  services  and  our  Bandwidth 
Communications  Platform.  Our  success  depends,  in  part,  on  our  ability  to  generate  positive  customer  feedback  and 
minimize negative feedback on social media channels where existing and potential customers seek and share information. 
If actions we take or changes we make to our services or 
our communications platform upset these customers, then their 
r
online  commentary  could  negatively  affect  our  brand  and  reputation.  Complaints  or  negative  publicity  about  us,  our 
services or our communications platform could materially and adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers,

The  promotion  of  our  brand  also  requires  us  to  make  substantial  expenditures,  and  we  anticipate  that  these
expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive and as we expand into new markets. To the extent that
t 
these  activities  increase  revenue,  this  revenue  still  may  not  be  enough  to  offset  the  increased  expenses  we  incur.  In 
addition,  due  to  restrictions  on  travel  and  in-person  me
etings  resulting  from  COVID-19,  we  have  attended  planned
d 
customer  and  industry  events  as  virtual-only  experiences  and  cancelled  others. We  may  alter,  postpone  or  cancel  other 
events in the future. Virtual meetings, events and interactions may not be as successful and may constrain our marketing,

promotional and sales activity. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, then our business may not grow, 
we may see our pricing power reduced relative to competitors and we may lose customers, all of which would adversely 
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

AAny  failure  to  deliver  and  maintain  high-quality  customer  support  may  adversely  affect  our  relationships  with  our 
customers  and  prospective  customers  and  could  adversely  affect  our  reputation,  business,  results  of  operations  and 
d
ffinancial condition.

Many of our customers depend on our customer support team to assist them in deploying or using our services
effectively,  to  help  them  resolve  post-deployment  issues  quickly  and  to  provide  ongoing  support.  If  we  do  not  devote
sufficient  resources  or  are  otherwise  unsuccessful  in  assisting  our  customers  effectively,  it  could  adversely  affect  our 
ability  to  retain  existing  customers  and  could  prevent  prospective  customers  from  adopting  our  services.  We  may  be 
unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in demand for customer support. We also may be
unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery of our customer support to compete with changes in the support services 
pprovided  by  our  competitors.  Increased  demand  for  customer  support,  without  corresponding  revenue,  could  increase
costs and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our sales are highly dependent on 
our  business  reputation and  on  positive  recommendations  from  existing  customers. Any  failure to  deliver and  maintain 
high-quality  customer  support,  or  a  market  perception  that

  we  do  not  maintain  high-quality  customer  support,  could

ppolitical  or  social  unrest  or  economic  instability  in  a  specific  country  or  region  in  which  we

operate, which could have an adverse impact on our operations in that location.

In  addition,  due  to  potential  costs  from  our  international  expansion  efforts  and  network  service  provider  fees
outside  of  the  United  States,  our  gross  margin  for  international  customers  may  be  lower  than  our  gross  margin  for 
domestic customers. As a result, our gross margin may fluctuate as we further expand our operations and customer base 
internationally.

Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our international operations, and adversely affect

our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our revenue is concentrated in a limited number of enterprise customers.

A significant portion of our revenue is concentrated among a limited number of enterprise customers. If we lost 
one or more of our top ten customers, or, if one or more of these major customers significantly decreased orders for our 
services, our business would be materially and adversely affected.

f

BBreaches of our networks or systems, or those of third parti
es upon which we rely, could degrade our ability to conduct 
t
our  business,  compromise  the  integrity  of  our  services  and  our  communications  platform,  result  in  significant  data
losses  and  the  theft  of  our  intellectual  property,  damage 
our  reputation,  expose  us  to  liability  to  third  parties  and 
d
require us to incur significant additional costs to maintain the security of our networks and data.

We  depend  upon  our  IT  systems  to  conduct  virtually  all of  our  business  operations,  ranging  from  our  internal
operations and R&D activities to our marketing and sales efforts and communications with our customers and business
ppartners.  Cyber-attacks,  including  through  the  use  of  malware,  computer  viruses,  dedicated  denial  of  services  attacks,
credential harvesting and other means for obtaining unauthorized access to or disrupting the operation of our networks and 
systems and those of our suppliers, vendors and other service providers,  could cause harm to our business, including by 
misappropriating  our  proprietary  information  or  that  of  our  customers,  employees  and  business  partners  or  to  cause 
r
interruptions of our services and our Bandwidth Communications Platform. Cyber-attacks may cause equipment failures,

increased  in  frequency,  scope  and  potential  harm  in  recent
years.  Further,  the  perpetrators  of  cyber-attacks  are  not
t 
restricted  to  particular  groups  or  persons.  These  attacks  may  be  committed  by  company  employees  or  external  actors
operating  in  any  geography,  including  jurisdictions  where  law  enforcement  measures  to  address  such  attacks  are 
unavailable or ineffective, and may even be launched by or at the behest of nation states. While, to date, we have not been 
subject  to  cyber-attacks  which,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  have  been  material  to  our  operations  or  financial
condition,  the  preventive  actions  we  take  to  reduce  the  risks
associated  with  cyber-attacks,  including  protection  of  our 
r
systems and networks, may be insufficient to repel or mitigate the effects of a major cyber-attack in the future. Because 
the techniques used by such individuals or entities to access, disrupt or sabotage devices, systems and networks change
frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a ta
rget, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques, and 
d
we  may  not  become  aware  in  a  timely  manner  of  such  a  security  breach,  which  could  exacerbate  any  damage  we
experience.  Additionally,  we  depend  upon  our  employees  and  contractors  to  appropriately  handle  confidential  and
d 
sensitive data, including customer data and customer proprietary network information pursuant to applicable federal law, 
and to deploy our IT resources in a safe and secure manner that does not expose our network systems to security breaches 
or the loss of data. Any data security incidents, including inadvertent disclosure or internal malfeasance by our employees,
n of us or our services providers, could result in a loss of
f 
unauthorized access or usage, virus or similar breach or disruptio
confidential  information,  theft  of  our  intellectual  property,  damage  to  our  reputation,  loss  of  customers,  litigation,
regulatory investigations, fines, penalties and other liabilities.

Our existing general liability and cyber liability insurance policies may not cover, or may cover only a portion of, 
any potential claims related to security breaches to which we are exposed or may not be adequate to indemnify us for all 
or  any  portion  of  liabilities  that  may  be  imposed.  We  also  cannot  be  certain  that  our  existing  insurance  coverage  will
continue to be available on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to cover the potentially significant losses that may 
will not deny coverage of any future claim. Accordingly, if our
r 
result from a security incident or breach or that the insurer 
cybersecurity measures and those of our service providers, fail to protect against unauthorized access, attacks (which may

The communications industry faces significant regulatory uncertainties and the resolution of these uncertainties could

harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If  current  or  future  regulations  change,  the  FCC,  state  or  international  regulators  may  not  grant  us  required 
regulatory authorizations or may take action against us if we are found to have provided services without obtaining the 
necessary  authorizations,  or  to  have  violated  other  requirements  of  their  rules  and  orders.  Delays  in  receiving  required

Proceedings  before  the  FCC  or  international  regulators  could  limit  our  access  to  various  network  services  or 
further increase the rates we must pay for such services. For example, the availability and price of special access facilities
could  be  affected  by  proceedings  before  the  FCC,  changes  to  applicable  FCC  rules  and  FCC  forbearance  from  the 
enforcement  of  obligations  on  incumbent  LECs. Other  proceedings  before  the  FCC  could  result  in  an  increase  in  the 
amount we pay to other carriers or a reduction in the revenue we derive from other carriers in, or retroactive liability for,
access charges and reciprocal compensation. 
cember 17, 2019, the FCC issued an order that revised its 
interpretation  of  the  VoIP  symmetry  rule. The  FCC  now  concludes  that  LECs  may  assess  end  office  switched  access
charges only if the LEC or its VoIP partner provides a physical connection to the last-mile facilities used to serve an end 
user.  If  neither  the  LEC  nor  its  VoIP  partner  provides  such  a  physical  connection,  the  LEC  may  not  assess  end  office

 We cannot predict the impact this FCC 
order may have on our business, including whether other carriers will agree with our legal interpretations and treatments, 
at  this  time.  Other  proceedings  before the  FCC  could  also result  in  increases  in  the  cost  of regulatory  compliance.  For 
example,  the  FCC  has  opened  a  proceeding  to  examine  how  to  improve  the  delivery  of  emergency  911  services  and
d 
whether  to  expand  requirements  to  include  communications  services  not  currently  subject  to  emergency  calling 
obligations. A number of states also have proceedings pending that could impact our access to and the rates we pay for 
network  services.  Other  state  proceedings  could  limit  our  pricing  and  billing  flexibility.  Our  business  would  be 
substantially impaired if the FCC, the courts or state commissions eliminated our access to the facilities and services we 
use  to  serve  our  customers,  substantially  increased  the  rates we  pay  for  facilities  and  services,  increased  the  costs  or 
complexity  associated  with  providing  emergency  911  services  or  adversely  affected  the  revenue  we  receive  from  other 
carriers or our customers. In addition, congressional legislative efforts to rewrite the Telecommunications Act of 1996 or 
enact other telecommunications legislation, as well as various state legislative initiatives, may cause major industry and 
regulatory changes. We cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or legislative initiatives or the effects, if any, that 
these proceedings or legislative initiatives may have on our business and operations.

While  we  believe  we  are  currently  in  compliance  with 

all  federal,  state,  local  and  international  rules  and
d 
regulations, these regulations are subject to interpretation and the relevant regulators may determine that our application 
of these rules and regulations is not consistent with their interpretation. Additionally, in certain instances, third parties orr 
government agencies may bring action with federal, state, local or international regulators if they believe a provider has

breached applicable rules and regulations. 

The effects of increased regulation of IP-based service providers are unknown.

While the FCC has to date generally subjected IP-based service providers in the United States to less stringent 
regulatory oversight than traditional common carriers, the FCC has imposed certain regulatory
y
 obligations on providers of 
f
interconnected  and  non-interconnected  VoIP  services,  including  the  obligations  to  contribute  to  the  Universal  Service 
Fund,  to  provide  911  services,  and  to  comply  with  the
Communications  Assistance  for  Law  Enforcement  Act. The
  The 
recently  enacted  TRACED Act  aims  to  mitigate  illegal  robocalls  by  directing  the  FCC  to  conduct  certain  rulemaking
pproceedings  that  include  adopting  rules  that  require  participation  in  the  technical  standard  known  as  STIR/SHAKEN, 
among other requirements. The TRACED Act applies to both IP-based and non-IP-based service providers. Further, some 
states have imposed taxes, fees and/or surcharges on interconnected VoIP telephony services. The imposition of additional 
regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. 

We must obtain and maintain permits and licenses to operate our network.

If  we  are  unable,  on  acceptable  terms  and  on  a  timely  basis,  to  obtain  and  maintain  the  permits  and  licenses 
needed  to  expand  and  operate  our  network,  our  business could  be  materially  adversely  affected.  In  addition,  the
cancellation or non-renewal of the permits or licenses that are obtained could materially adversely affect our business. In
the  event  we  are  the  target  of  an  acquisition,  the  regulatory  agencies  responsible  for  granting,  renewing  or  transferring 
ppermits  and  licenses  may  delay  or  reject  applications  to  transfer  such  permits  or  licenses  and  as  a  result  these
uncertainties, we may not be as attractive an acquisition target.

Our  operations  are  subject  to  regulation  and  require  us  to
  obtain  and  maintain  several  governmental  licenses  and 
d
ppermits.  If  we  violate  those  regulatory  requirements  or  fail  to  obtain  and  maintain  those  licenses  and  permits,
including  payment  of  related  fees,  if  any,  we  may  not  be  able  to  conduct  our  business.  Moreover,  those  regulatory 
requirements  could  change  in  a  manner  that  significantly  increases  our  costs  or  otherwise  adversely  affects  our 
y
operations.

In the ordinary course of operating our network and providing our services, we must obtain and maintain a variety 
of  telecommunications  and  other  licenses  and  authorizations.  We  also  must  comply  with  a  variety  of  regulatory 
obligations. There can be no assurance we can maintain our licenses or that they will be renewed upon their expiration. 
Our  failure  to  obtain  or  maintain  necessary  licenses,  authorizations  or  to  comply  with  the  obligations  imposed  upon 
license  holders,  including  the  payment  of  fees,  may  cause 
sanctions  or  additional  costs,  including  the  revocation  of 
f
authority to provide services.

Our  operations  are  subject  to  regulation  at  the  national  level  and,  often,  at  the  state  and  local  levels.  Our 
operations  are  also  subject  to  additional  regulation  by  other  countries  in  international  markets.  Changes  to  existing
regulations  or  rules,  or  the  failure  to  regulate  going  forward  in  areas  historically  regulated  on  matters  such  as  network 
k
neutrality,  licensing  fees,  environmental,  health  and  safety,  privacy,  intercarrier  compensation,  emergency  services,
interconnection, illegal robocalling, extra-territorial use of telephone numbers, and other areas, in general or particular to 
our industry, may increase costs, restrict operations or decrease revenue. For example, the TRACED Act aims to mitigate 
illegal  robocalls  by  directing  the  FCC  to  develop  rules  requiring  participation  in  the  technical  standard  known  as
STIR/SHAKEN  among  other  things.  We  are  also  subject  to
  telecommunications  laws  and  regulations  in  the  non-US
countries where we offer our products. Our international operations are subject to country-specific laws and governmental
regulation that may increase our costs or impact our products and communications platform or prevent us from offering or 
providing our products in certain countries. Many existing 
non-US laws and regulations may not fully contemplate CPaaS 
providing our products in certain countries. M
solutions  and  the  interpretation  and  enforcement  of non-US laws  and  regulations  may  involve  significant  uncertainties.

temporary or permanent suspension of our operations, and if we cannot provide emergency calling functionality through 
our communications platform to meet any new federal or state requirements, or  any applicable requirements from other 
countries, the competitive advantages that we currently have may not persist, adversely affecting our ability to obtain and 
to retain enterprise customers, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

IIn January 2018, the FCC repealed its Network Neutrality Rules. Our business could suffer with respect to the quality
of  the  services  we  offer,  our  ability  to  maintain  our  internet-based  services  and  our  services  offered  through  our 
communications  platform,  decrease  our  profitability  or  increase  the  price  of  our  services  making  our  offerings  less 
competitive in the marketplace.

that was inconsistent with the FCC's order. The appellate court's decision is subject to rehearing by the full court or parties
may  seek  to  appeal  the  decision  to  the  U.S.  Supreme  Court.  Various  companies  appealed  the  federal  court  of  appeals
decision in December 2019. We cannot predict whether the FCC will reverse its January 2018 order, whether the appeal
will be successful, or whether any states will adopt legislation
y
that results in restoring the pre-existing network neutrality 
rules that prevent broadband internet access service providers from blocking, impairing and degrading offerings from third 
d
pparties like us. If broadband providers were
 to block, impair or degrade our internet-based services or services we offer 
r
through  our communications  platform,  or  if  broadband  internet access  providers  were to charge  us  or  our  customers  to
access  and  use  our  internet-based  services  or  services  offered  through  our  communications  platform,  we  could  lose

customers, our  profitability  could decrease,  or  we  may  have  to  raise  prices,  making  our  service less  competitive  in  the 
marketplace. Most of the major broadband internet access providers have publicly stated that they will not block, impair 
or degrade third party offerings. We cannot predict the potential impact of the January 2018 FCC network neutrality order 
on our offerings at this time.

rights to consumers, such as correction of personal information and additional opt-out rights, and creates a new entity, the
California  Privacy  Protection  Agency,  to  implement  and  enforce  the  law.  The  CCPA  and  CPRA  may  increase  our

For example, as of May 25, 2018, the GDPR replaced the Data Protection Directive with respect to the processing 
of PII in the EU. The GDPR imposes several stringent requirements for controllers and processors of PII (including non-
EU  processors  who  process  personal  data  on  behalf  of  EU controllers),  including,  for  example,  more  robust  internal 
accountability  controls,  a  strengthened  individual  data  rights  regime,  shortened  timelines  for  data  breach  notifications, 
limitations on retention and secondary use of information and additional obligations when we contract with third parties in 
connection with the processing of the PII. Failure to comply with the requirements of GDPR and the applicable national

may become onerous and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 

In addition, recent legal developments in Europe have created complexity and compliance uncertainty regarding 
certain transfers of information from the EU to the United States. On July 16, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European

the continued use of standard contractual clauses for data transfers from the EU to the United States, which may make the
use of standard contractual clauses difficult or impossible to 
use under some circumstances.  We and our customers are at 
risk of enforcement actions taken by European regulators until such point in time that we are able to ensure that all data 
transfers to the United States from the EU are legitimized. We also may encounter additional complexity with respect to

manner in which we provide our services or could adversely affect our financial results.

Furthermore,  any  failure,  or  perceived  failure,  by  us  to  comply  with  or  make  effective  modifications  to  our 
ppolicies,  or  to  comply  with  any  federal,  state  or  interna
tional  privacy,  data-retention  or  data-protection-related  laws,
regulations, orders or industry self-regulatory principles could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental
entities or others, a loss of customer confidence, damage to our brand and reputation or a loss of customers, any of which 
could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, various federal, state and foreign legislative or regulatory bodies
may enact new or additional laws and regulations concerning privacy, data-retention and data-protection issues, including 
laws  or  regulations  mandating  disclosure  to  domestic  or  international  law  enforcement  bodies,  which  could  adversely 
impact  our  business,  our  brand  or  our  reputation  with  customers.  For  example,  some  countries  have  adopted  laws
mandating that PII regarding customers in their country be maintained solely in their country. Having to maintain local
data centers and redesign product, service and business operations to limit PII processing to within individual countries 
could increase our operating costs significantly.

our  operations  would  make  our  services,  including  our  communications  platform,  less  attractive  to  potential  customers

that desire assignments of particular numbering resources. In addition, future growth of our customer base, together with 
growth of customer bases of other providers of communications services, has increased, which increases our dependence
on  needing  large  quantities  of  local  and  toll-free  numbers  associated  with  desirable  area  codes  or  specific  toll-free
numbering  resources  at  a  reasonable  cost  and  without  undue  restriction.  If  we  are  not  able  to  obtain  or retain  adequate

enforce compliance by our customers, on a timely basis or without significant cost. Also, compliance with these types of 
f
regulations may require changes in products or business practices that result in reduced revenue. If we or our customers 
use or assign phone numbers in these countries in a manner that violates applicable rules and regulations, we may also be
subject to significant penalties or governmental action, including government-initiated audits and, in extreme cases, may 
bbe precluded from doing business in that particular country. In the event of such non-compliance, we may be forced to

We  face  exposure  to  foreign  currency  exchange  rate  fluctuations,  and  such  fluctuations  could  adversely  affect  our 
business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face exposure to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. While historically we have primarily 
transacted  in  U.S.  dollars,  we  generally  have  transacted  with  customers  and  partners  in  Europe  in  British  Pounds  and 
Euros.  We  expect  to  expand  the  number  of  transactions  with  customers  and  partners  that  are  denominated  in  foreign
currencies  in the future  as we  continue to  expand  our  business internationally. We  also incur  expenses for  some  of  our 
network service provider costs outside of the United States in local currencies and for employee compensation and other
r 
operating  expenses  in  local  currency.  Fluctuations  in  the  exchange  rates  between  the  U.S.  dollar  and  other  currencies 
could result in an increase to the U.S. dollar equivalent of such expenses.

h

In addition, our international subsidiaries maintain net assets denominated in currencies other than the functional
operating  currencies  of these  entities. As  we  expand our  international  operations,  we  will  become  more  exposed to the 
effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Accordingly, changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the
U.S.  dollar  may  affect  our  results  of  operations  due  to  transactional  and  translational  remeasurements.  Such  foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations could 
make it more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of 
f
operations. The trading price of our Class A common stock also could be adversely affected if fluctuations in currency 
exchange  rates  cause  our  results  of  operations  to  differ  from our  expectations  or  the  expe
ctations  of  our  investors  and 
d
m
securities analysts who follow our stock.

We do not currently maintain a program to hedge transactional exposures in foreign currencies. However, in the 
future,  we  may  use  derivative  instruments,  such  as  foreig
n  currency  forward  and  option  contracts,  to  hedge  certain 
n
exposures  to  fluctuations  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates. The  use  of  such  hedging  activities  may  not  offset  any  or 
orable movements in foreign exchange rates over the limited
d 
more than a portion of the adverse financial effects of unfav
time the hedges are in place. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce additional risks if we are unable to
structure effective hedges with such instruments.

offered and sold in compliance with these laws and regulations
. If we do not comply with these laws or regulations or if 
f
we  become  liable  under  these  laws  or  regulations  due  to  the  failure  of  our  customers  to  comply  with  these  laws  by 
obtaining proper consent, we could face liability. In addition, changes in our products or services, changes in applicable 
regulations, or change in the target of such regulations, could also result in decreased use of our products and services, or
in our decreased ability to sell our products or provide our services to existing or prospective customers with international
operations. Any decreased use of our products and services or limitation on our ability to export our products and provide
our services could adversely affect our business,

results of operations and financial condition.

IIntellectual property and proprietary rights of others could prevent us from using necessary technology to provide our 
sservices or subject us to expensive intellectual property litigation.

If technology that we require to provide our services, including our communications platform, was determined by 
a court to infringe a patent held by another entity that will not grant us a license on terms acceptable to us, we could be 
pprecluded  by  a  court  order  from  using  that  technology  and  we  would  likely  be  required  to  pay  significant  monetary
damages to the patent holder. The successful enforcement of these patents, or our inability to negotiate a license for these
ppatents  on  acceptable  terms,  could  force  us  to  cease  (i)  using  the  relevant  technology  and  (ii)  offering  services 
incorporating  the  technology.  If  a  claim  of  infringement  was  brought  against  us  based  on the  use  of our technology  or 
against our customers based on their use of our services for which we are obligated to indemnify, we could be subject to 
litigation to determine whether such use or sale is, in fact, infringing. This litigation could be expensive and distracting,
regardless of the outcome.

While our own limited patent portfolio may deter other operating companies from bringing such actions, patent 
infringement  claims  may  also  be  asserted  by  patent  holding  companies,  which  do  not  use  technology  and  whose  sole 
bbusiness is to enforce patents against operators, such as us, for monetary gain. Because such patent holding companies,

way of counter-claim would be largely ineffective.

Our  use  of  open  source  software  could  negatively  affect  our  ability  to  sell  our  services  and  subject  us  to  possible 
litigation.

Our  services,  including  our  communications  platform,  incorporate  open  source  software,  and  we  expect  to
continue to incorporate open source software in our services in the future. Few of the licenses applicable to open source 
software have been interpreted by courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that could 
ability  to  commercialize  our  services,  including  our 
r
impose  unanticipated  conditions  or  restrictions  on  our 
ented  policies  to  regulate  the  use  and  incorporation  of 
f
communications  platform.  Moreover,  although  we  have  implem
at we have not incorporated open source software in our 
r
open source software into our services, we cannot be certain th
services in a manner that is inconsistent with such policies. If we fail to comply with open source licenses, we may be 
subject  to  certain  requirements,  including  requirements  that
  we  offer  our  services  that  incorporate  the  open  source
software  for  no  cost,  that  we  make  available  source  code  for  modifications  or  derivative  works  we  create  based  upon,
incorporating  or  using  the  open  source  software  and  that  we  license  such  modifications  or  derivative  works  under  the 
terms of applicable open source licenses. If an author or other third-party that distributes such open source software were 
to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, we could be required to incur 
significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages, enjoined from 
generating revenue from customers using services that contained the open source software and required to comply with 
onerous conditions or restrictions on these services. In any of these events, we and our customers could be required to 
seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our services and to re-engineer our services or discontinue 
offering  our  services  to  customers  in  the  event  re-engineering  cannot  be  accomplished  on  a  timely  basis.  Any  of  the
foregoing  could  require  us  to  devote  additional  R&D  resources  to  re-engineer  our  services,  could  result  in  customer 
dissatisfaction and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

IIndemnity  provisions  in  various  agreements  potentially  expose  us  to  substantial  liability  for  intellectual  property 
infringement and other losses.

Our agreements with customers and other third parties typi

cally include indemnification or other provisions under 
r
for  losses  suffered  or  incurred  as  a  result  of  claims  of 
f
which  we  agree  to  indemnify  or  otherwise  be  liable  to  them
m
erty or persons or other liabilities relating to or arising
g 
intellectual property infringement, damages caused by us to prop
from  our  services  or  platform  or  other  acts  or  omissions. The  term  of  these  contractual  provisions  often  survives 
termination  or  expiration  of  the  applicable  agreement.  Large  indemnity  payments  or  damage  claims  from  contractual 
bbreach could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Although we normally contractually limit 
our liability with respect to such obligations, we may still incur substantial liability related to them. Any dispute with a 
customer  with  respect  to  such  obligations  could  have  adverse  effects  on  our  relationship  with  that  customer  and  other 
current and prospective customers, reduce demand for our services and adversely affect our business, results of operations 
and financial condition.

a

The storage, processing and use of personal information and related data subjects us to evolving governmental laws 
and  regulation,  commercial  standards,  contractual  obligatio
ns  and  other  legal  obligations  related  to  consumer  and 
d
data privacy, which may have a material impact on our costs, use of our services, or expose us to increased liability.

Federal,  state,  local  and  foreign  laws  and  regulations,  commercial  obligations  and  industry  standards,  each 
pprovide  for  obligations  and  restrictions  with  respect  to  data  privacy  and  security,  as  well  as  the  collection,  storage, 
retention, protection, use, processing, transmission, sharing, disclosure and protection of personal information and other 
etary network information under applicable federal law. The evolving nature of
f 
customer data, including customer propri
these  obligations  and  restrictions  subjects  us  to  the  risk  of  differing  interpretations,  inconsistency  or  conflicts  among 
countries or rules, and create

s uncertainty regarding their application to our business.

These obligations and restrictions may limit our ability to collect, store, process, use, transmit and share data with 
our  customers,  employees  and  third-party  providers  and  to  allow  our  customers  to  collect,  store,  retain,  protect,  use,
pprocess, transmit, share and disclose data with others through our services. Compliance with, and other burdens imposed 
bby, such obligations and restrictions could increase the cost of our operations and impact our ability to market our services
f
through effective segmentation.

Failure  to  comply  with  obligations  and  restrictions  related  to  applicable  data  protection  laws,  regulations, 
standards, and codes of conduct, as well as our own posted privacy policies, privacy notices, and contractual commitments
could subject us to lawsuits, fines, criminal penalties, statutory damages, consent decrees, injunctions, adverse publicity, 
loss  of  user  confidence  in  our  services,  and  loss  of  users,  which  could  materially  harm  our  business.  Because  these
obligations and restrictions have continued to develop and evolve rapidly, it is possible that we may not be, or may not 
have been, compliant with each such obligation and restriction. Additionally, third-party contractors may have access to 
customer or employee data. If these or other third-party vendors violate obligations and restrictions related to applicable 
(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:90)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:89)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:86)(cid:82) (cid:83)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:182)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:82)(cid:92)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:182)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:78)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)
could in turn have a material and adverse effect on our business.

tt

IIf we fail to protect our internally developed systems, technology and software and our patents and trademarks, we may 
become involved in costly litigation or our business or brand may be harmed.

Our ability to compete effectively is dependent in large part upon the maintenance and protection of systems and
d 
software that  we  have  developed  internally,  including  some  systems  and  software  based  on  open  standards. We  cannot 
ppatent much of the technology that is important to our business. In addition, any pending patent applications may not be 
granted, and any issued patent that we own may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated or circumvented. To date, we have 
relied  on  patent,  copyright  and  trade  secret  laws,  as  well  as  confidentiality  procedures  and  licensing  arrangements,  to
establish  and  protect  our  rights  to  our  technology.  While  we  typically  enter  into  confidentiality  agreements  with  our 
employees, consultants, customers, and vendors in an effort to control access to and distribution of technology, software, 
documentation and other information, these agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information
and  may  not  provide  an  adequate  remedy  in  the  event  of  unauthorized  disclosure  of  confidential  information.  Despite
these  precautions,  it  may  be  possible  for  a  third  party  to  copy  or  otherwise  obtain  and  use  our  technology  without 
authorization. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases 

33

 
we could not assert any rights against such party. Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult. The steps we 
take may not prevent misappropriation of the technology we rely on. In addition, effective protection may be unavailable 
or limited in some jurisdictions outside the United States. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or protect 
our rights or to determine the validity and scope of the rights of others. That litigation could cause us to incur substantial
costs  and  divert  resources  away  from  our  daily  business,  whic
h  in  turn  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  results  of 
f
operations and financial condition.

rr

The  unlicensed  use  of  our  brands  by  third  parties  could  harm  our  reputation,  cause  confusion  among  our 
customers or impair our ability to market our services. Accordingly, we have registered trademarks and service marks and 
have applied for registration of our trademarks and service marks in the United States and certain jurisdictions outside the 
United  States  to  establish  and  protect  our  brand  names  as  part  of  our  intellectual  property  strategy.  The  laws  of  some 
countries  do  not  protect  intellectual  property  and  other  proprietary  rights  to  the  same  extent  as  the  laws  of  the  United 
States. Our exposure to unauthorized copying, transfer and use of our proprietary technology or information may increase
as we expand our international operations. We cannot assure you that our pending or future trademark applications will be
approved. Although we anticipate that we would be given an opportunity to respond to any such rejections, we  may be
n
unable  to  overcome  any  such  rejections.  In  addition,  in  proceedings  before the U.S.  Patent and Trademark  Office third 
pparties  are  given  an  opportunity  to  oppose  pending  trademark  applications  and  seek  to  cancel  registered  trademarks. 
Opposition  or  cancellation  proceedings  may  be  filed against  our  trademarks,  and  our  trademarks  may  not  survive  such 
pproceedings.  In  the  event  that  our  trademarks  are  successfully  challenged,  we  could  be  forced  to  rebrand  our  services,
which  could  result  in  loss  of  brand  name  recognition.  Moreover,  successful  opposition  to  our  applications  might 
encourage  third  parties  to  make  additional  oppositions  or  commence  trademark  infringement  proceedings  against  us, 
which  could  be  costly  and  time  consuming  to  defend  against. If  we  decide  to  take  limited  or  no  action  to  protect  our 
trademarks,  our  trademark  rights  may  be  diluted  and  subject  to  challenge  or  invalidation,  which  could  materially  and 
adversely affect our brand in the marketplace. Certain of the trademarks we may use may  become so well known by the 
ppublic that their use becomes generic and they lose trademark protection. Over the long term, if we are unable to establish 
name  recognition  based  on  our  trademark  and  tradenames,  then  we  may  not  be  able  to  compete  effectively  and  our
r 
bbusiness may be adversely affected. Further, we cannot assure you that competitors will not infringe our trademarks or 
that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.

We  are  subject  to  litigation  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  and  uninsured  judgments  or  a  rise  in  insurance 
ppremiums may adversely affect our results of operations.

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims and litigation. Any such claims, regardless of 
f
merit,  could  be  time-consuming  and  ex(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3) (cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:3) (cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3) (cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:3)
accordance with customary practice, we maintain insurance against some, but not all, of these potential claims. We may 
elect not to obtain insurance if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. 
The levels of insurance we maintain may not be adequate to fully cover any and all losses or liabilities. Further, we may
not be able to maintain insurance at commercially acceptable premium levels or at all. If any significant judgment, claim 
(or a series of claims) or other event is not fully insured or in
demnified against, it could have a material adverse impact on
n 
our  business,  financial  condition  and results  of  operations. There  can  be  no  assurance  as  to the  actual  amount  of these 
liabilities  or  the  timing  thereof.  We  cannot  be  certain  that  the  outcome  of  current  or  future  litigation  will  not  have  a 
material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

We may be liable for the information that content owners or distributors distribute over our network.

The law relating to the liability of private network operators for information carried on or disseminated through 
their networks remains unsettled. While we disclaim any liability for third-party content in our services agreements, we
may  become  subject  to  legal  claims  relating  to  the  content  disseminated  on  our  network,  even  though  such  content  is
owned or distributed by our customers or a customer of our customers. For example, lawsuits may be brought against us
claiming that material distributed using our network was inaccurate, offensive or violated the law or the rights of others. 
Claims could also involve matters such as defamation, invasion of privacy and copyright infringement. In addition, the
law  remains  unclear  over  whether  content  may  be  distributed  from  one  jurisdiction,  where  the  content  is  legal,  into
another  jurisdiction,  where  it  is  not.  Companies  operating  private  networks  have  been  sued  in  the  past,  sometimes
successfully, based on the nature of material distributed, even if the content is not owned by the network operator and the 
network  operator  has no  knowledge  of the  content  or  its legality.  It  is  not  practical  for  us to  monitor all  of  the  content

distributed  using our network. We may need to take costly measures to reduce our exposure to these risks or to defend 
ourselves against such claims, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Third parties may fraudulently use our  name to obtain access to customer accounts and other personal information, 
use our services to commit fraud or steal our services, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth or cause 
us to incur additional expenses.

use  of  our  services  for  fraud  and  similar  activities,  our  brand  reputation  and  growth  may  suffer  and  we  may  incur 
additional costs, including costs to increase security, or be required to credit significant amounts to customers.

Third  parties  also  have  used  our  communications  services  without  paying,  including  by  submitting  fraudulent 
credit  information  and  fraudulent  credit  card  information.  This  has  resulted  in  our  incurring  the  cost  of  providing  the 
services, including incurring call termination fees, without 
any corresponding revenue. We have implemented anti-fraud 
d

could significantly increase our expenses and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

IIf our customers or their end users do not accept the differences between our service and traditional telephone service,
they may choose to remain with their current telephone service provider or may choose to return to service provided by 
traditional network service providers.

Aspects  of our services  based  on VoIP,  including  our  communications  platform,  are  not the  same  as  traditional 
network service providers. Our continued growth is dependent on the adoption of our services by mainstream customers
and their end users, so these differences are important. For example:

(cid:135)

Our 911 calling and other emergency calling services are different, in significant respects, from 
the 911 and other emergency calling services associated with traditional wireline and wireless telephone providers
and, in certain cases, with other VoIP providers.

related  network  components,  as  well  as  providers  of  network  colocation  facilities  that  are  integrated  into  our  network,

either  exits  or  curtails  its  business  as  a  result  of  economic 
conditions,  a  supplier  fails  to  provide  critical  services  or 
r
equipment, or the supplier is forced to stop providing services due to legal constraints, such as patent infringement, and 
we  are  unable  to  reach  suitable  alternative  arrangements  quickly,  we  may  experience  significant  additional  costs  or  we
may not be able to provide certain services to customers. If that happens, our business, results of operations and financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.

Many of our third-party suppliers do not have long-term committed contracts with us and may interrupt services 
or terminate their agreements with us without notice or by providing 30 days prior written notice. Although we expect that 
we  could  receive  similar  services  from  other  third-party  suppliers,  if  any  of  our  arrang
ements  with  our  third-party
y 
suppliers are terminated or interrupted, we could experience interruptions in our ability to make our services available to
customers,  as  well  as  delays  and  additional  expenses  in  arranging  alternative  providers.  If  a  significant  portion  of  our 
third-party suppliers fail to provide these services to us on a cost-effective basis or otherwise terminate or interrupt these 
services, the delay caused by qualifying and switching to ot
her providers could be time consuming and costly and could

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

Our growth and financial health are subject to a number of economic risks.

The  financial  markets  in  the  United  States  have  experienced  substantial  uncertainty  during  recent  years, 
y
particularly following the COVID-19 outbreak. This uncertainty has included, among other things, extreme volatility in

funds remain limited, we may not be able to obtain debt or equity financing or to refinance our existing indebtedness on 
q
favorable  terms  or  at  all,  which  could  affect  our  strategic  operations  and  our  financial  performance  and  force
modifications  to  our  operations.  These  conditions  currently  have  not  precluded  us  from  accessing  credit  markets  or 
financing our operations, but there can be no assurance that financial markets and confidence in major economies will not 
deteriorate. An extended period of economic deterioration could materially adversely affect our results of operations and 
financial  condition  and  exacerbate  some  of  the  other  risk

Our financial counterparties, insurance providers or others also may default on their contractual obligations to us. If any of
f 
our key vendors fail, we may not be able to replace them without disruptions to, or deterioration of, our services and we
also may incur higher costs associated with new vendors. Transitioning to new vendors also may result in the loss of the
value of assets associated with our integration of third-party services into our network or service offerings. 

Our customer churn rate may increase.

Customer churn occurs when a customer discontinues service with us, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, such 
as a customer switching to a competitor or going out of business. Changes in the economy, increased competition from 
other providers, or issues with the quality of service we deliver can impact our customer churn rate. We cannot predict 
future  pricing  by  our  competitors,  but  we  anticipate  that  price  competition  will  continue.  Lower  prices  offered  by  our 
competitors could contribute to an increase in customer churn. We cannot predict the timing, duration or magnitude of any 
deteriorated economic conditions or its impact on our target of customers. Higher customer churn rates could adversely 
affect  our  revenue  growth.  Higher  customer  churn  rates  could  cause  our  dollar-based  net  retention  rate  to  decline.  A 
A
sustained and significant growth in the churn rate could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The market prices for certain of our services have decreased in the past and may decrease in the future, resulting in
lower revenue than we anticipate.

Market  prices  for  certain  of  our  services  have  decreased  over  recent  years.  These  decreases  resulted  from 

downward market pressure and other factors including:

(cid:135)

technological  changes  and  network  expansions,  which  have  resulted  in  increased  transmission 

capacity available for sale by us and by our competitors; and
d

(cid:135)

some of our competitors have been willing to accept smaller operating margins in the short term

in an attempt to increase long-term revenue.

To retain customers and revenue, we must sometimes reduce prices in response to market conditions and trends.
We cannot predict to what extent we may need to reduce our prices to remain competitive or whether we will be able to
sustain  future  pricing  levels  as  our  competitors  introduce  competing  services  or  similar  services  at  lower  prices.  Our 
ability to meet price competition may depend on our ability to operate at costs equal to or lower than our competitors or 
ppotential competitors. As our prices for some of our services decrease, our operating results may suffer unless we are able
to either reduce our operating expenses or increase traffic volume from which we can derive additional revenue.

The need to obtain additional IP circuits from other providers increases our costs. In addition, the need to interconnect 
t
our network to networks that are controlled by others could increase our costs.

We lease all of our IP circuits from third parties. We could incur material expenses if we were required to locate 
alternative IP circuits. We may not be able to obtain reasonable
 alternative IP circuits if needed. Failure to obtain usage of
f 
alternative IP circuits, if necessary, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry on business operations. In 
addition, some of our agreements with other providers require the payment of amounts for services whether or not those 
services are used. Our reliance on third-party providers may reduce our operating flexibility, ability to make timely service 
changes and ability to control quality of service.

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  we  need  to  enter  into  interconnection  agreements  with  many  local  telephone 
companies,  as  well  as  the  owners  of  networks  that  our  cust
omers  desire  to  access  to  deliver  their  services. We  are  not 
t
always able to secure these interconnection agreements on favorable terms. In some jurisdictions, we rely on third party 
aa
access  and  networks  for  local  connectivity. We  are  not  alwa
ys  able  to  secure  this  access  and  local  connectivity  on
n 
favorable terms.  Costs of obtaining service from other communications carriers comprise a significant proportion of the
operating  expenses  of  long  distance  carriers.  Changes  in  regulation,  particularly  the  regulation  of  telecommunication 
carriers  and  local  access  network  owners,  could  indirectly,  but  significantly,  affect  our  competitive  position.  These 
yy
r
changes  could  increase  or  decrease  the  costs  of  providing  our
  services.  Further,  if  problems  occur  with  our  third-party
y 
pproviders  or  local  telephone  companies,  it  may  cause  errors  or  poor  quality  communications,  and  we  could  encounter 
difficulties  identifying  the  source  of  the  problem.  The  occurrence  of  errors  or  poor  quality  communications  on  our 
services, whether caused by our platform or a third-party provider, may result in the loss of our existing customers or the
delay of adoption of our services by potential customers and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and 
financial condition.

y

 Network  providers  also  may  institute  additional  fees  due  to  regulatory,  competitive  or  other  industry-related 
changes  that increase  our costs.  For example, in  February  2020, a  major  U.S.  cellular  carrier  introduced  a  new  service 
or A2P messages delivered to its subscribers.

(cid:73)(cid:73)
Other cellular carriers may introduce similar fees.  While we may be able to negotiate with network providers, absorb the 
increased costs, or charge these costs to our customers, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. In the case of 
new A2P fees, we currently pass, and expect to continue to pass, these fees on to our customers who send A2P messages 
to the carrier's subscribers. This is expected to increase our revenue and cost of goods sold, but is not expected to impact 
the  gross  profit  received  for  sending  these  messages.  However,  these  changes  may  still  have  a  negative  impact  on  our 
gross margins mathematically. We also may not be able to effectively respond to any new fees if all network providers in a 
particular market impose equivalent fee structures, if the magnitude of the fees is disproportionately large when compared 
to  the  underlying  prices  paid  by  our  customers,  or  if  the  market  conditions  limit  our  ability  to  increase  the  prices  we 
charge our customers.

We depend largely on the continued services of our senior management and other key employees, the loss of any of 
f
whom could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future performance depends on the continued services and contributions of our senior management and other 
key employees to execute on our business plan, to develop our platform, to deliver our services to customers, to attract 
and  retain  customers and  to  identify  and  pursue  opportunities.  The  loss  of  services  of  senior  management  or  other  key 
employees could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives. In particular, 
we depend to a considerable degree on the vision, skills, expe
rience and effort of our Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer 
r
and  Chairman,  David  A.  Morken.  The  replacement  of  any  of  our  senior  management  personnel  would  likely  involve

development,  marketing  and  sale  of  our  services,  which  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  results  of  operations  and

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

Other  than  experience  gained  at  our  company,  most members  of  our  management  team  have  limited,  if  any, 
experience  managing  a  publicly-traded  company,  interacting  with  public  company  investors  and  complying  with  the 
increasingly  complex  laws  pertaining  to  public  companies.  Our  management  team  may  not  successfully  or  efficiently 
manage us as a public company. As a result of being a public company, we are subject to significant regulatory oversight 
and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. 
These new obligations and constituents require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their 
attention  away  from  the  day-to-day  management  of  our  business,  which  could  adversely  affect  our  business,  results  of 
f
operations and financial condition.

We could be subject to liability for historic and future sales, use and similar taxes, which could adversely affect our 
results of operations.

t
We  conduct  operations  in  many  tax  jurisdictions  throughout
  the  United  States  and  internationally.  In  many  of 
f
these jurisdictions, non-income-based taxes such as sales, use and telecommunications taxes, including those associated 
with (or potentially associated with) VoIP telephony services or 911 services, are or may be assessed on our operations. 
We  also  face  exposure  to  other  non-income-based  international  taxes  such  as  value  added  taxes  that  are  or  may  be 
assessed on our operations. The systems and procedures necessary to comply in these jurisdictions are complex to develop 
and challenging to implement. Additionally, we rely heavily on third parties to provide us with key software and services 
for  compliance.  If  these  third  parties  cease  to  provide  those services  to  us  for  any  reason,  or  fail  to  perform  services
accurately  and  completely,  we  may  not  be  able  to  accurately bill,  collect  or  remit  applicable  non-income-based  taxes.
y
Historically,  we  have  not billed  or  collected  certain of  these taxes  and, in  accordance  with  GAAP,  we  have  recorded  a 
pprovision  for  our  tax  exposure  in  these jurisdictions when  it  is  both  probable that  a  liability  has  been  incurred  and  the 
amount of the exposure can be reasonably estimated. These estimates include several key assumptions including, but not 
t
limited to, the taxability of our services, the jurisdictions in which we believe we have nexus, and the sourcing of revenue
n
to those jurisdictions. In the event these jurisdictions chal
lenge our assumptions and analysis, our actual exposure could 
d
differ materially from our current estimates. 

Taxing authorities also may periodically perform audits to verify compliance and include all periods that remain 
open under applicable law, which customarily range from three to four years. At any point in time, we may undergo audits
that could result in significant assessments of past taxes, fines and interest if we were found to be non-compliant. During
the course of an audit, a taxing authority may, as a matter 
of policy, question our interpretation and/or application of their 
r
rules in  a  manner that, if we  were  not  successful in substantiating  our  position,  could  potentially  result  in  a  significant 
financial impact to us.

Furthermore,  certain  jurisdictions  in  which  we  do  not  collect  sales,  use  and  similar  taxes  may  assert  that  such 
taxes are applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties and interest, and we may be required to collect such 
taxes in the future. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest or future requirements may adversely affect our business, 
results of operations and financial condition.

We  conduct  our  international  operations  through  subsidiaries  and  report  our  taxable  income  in  various
jurisdictions  worldwide  based  upon  our  business  operations  in  those  jurisdictions.    Our  intercompany  relationships  are 
subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in various jurisdictions. Also, our tax
expense  could  be  affected  depending  on  the  applicability  of  withholding  and  other  taxes  under  the  tax  laws  of  certain 
jurisdictions  in  which  we  have  business  operations.  The  relevant  revenue  and  taxing  authorities  may  disagree  with 
positions we have taken generally, or our determinations as to income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. If 
such  a  disagreement  were  to  occur,  and  our  position  were  not  sustained,  we  could  be  required  to  pay  additional  taxes, 
interest and penalties, which could result in one-time tax charges, higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower 
r
overall profitability of our operations. 

We  may  be  subject  to  significant  U.S.  federal  income  tax-related  liabilities  and  indemnity  obligations  if  there  is  a 
determination that the Spin-Off is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

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

The  preparation  of  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  that  we  believe  to  be  reasonable  under  the 
(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:88)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:89)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:48)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:39)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:70)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:92)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:41)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:76)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:53)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:50)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:180)(cid:3)
The  results  of  these  estimates  form  the  basis  for  making  judgments  about  the  carrying  values  of  assets,  liabilities  and 
equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not re
adily apparent from other sources. Significant assumptions
and  estimates  used  in  preparing  our  consolidated  financial  statements  include  those  related  to  revenue  recognition,
capitalized  internal-use  software  costs,  other  non-income  taxes,  business  combination  and  valuation  of  goodwill  and 
ppurchased  intangible  assets  and  share-based  compensation.  Our  results  of  operations  may  be  adversely  affected  if  our 
those  in  our  assumptions,  which  could  cause  our  results  of 
f
assumptions  change  or  if  actual  circumstances  differ  from
m
 and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of 
f
operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts
our Class A common stock.

IIf  we  fail  to  maintain  an  effective  system  of  disclosure  controls  and  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  our 
ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

We  are  subject  to  the  reporting  requirements  of  the  Exchange  Act,  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002  (the 
(cid:179)(cid:54)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:86)-(cid:50)(cid:91)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:74)(cid:88)(cid:79)(cid:68)tions of the applicable listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Select 
Market. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and 
financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and place significant strain on 
our personnel, systems and resources.

The  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  requires,  among  other  things,  that  we  maintain  effective  disclosure  controls  and 
pprocedures  and  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.  Our  disclosure  controls  and  other  procedures  are  designed  to 
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, 
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be 
n
disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial
 executive and financial 
officers, and we continue to evaluate how to improve controls.
We are also continuing to improve our internal control over 
r
financial reporting. In order to develop, maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures 
and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant
t 
resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight.

Our  current  controls  and  any  new  controls  that  we  develop  may  become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in 
conditions  in  our  business.  Further,  weaknesses  in  our  disclosure  controls  and  internal  control  over  financial  reporting 
may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in 
their  implementation  or  improvement  could  harm  our  results  of  operations  or  cause  us  to  fail  to  meet  our  reporting 
obligations  and  may  result  in  a  restatement  of  our  consolidated  financial  statements  for  prior  periods.  Any  failure  to
implement  and  maintain  effective  internal  control  over  financ
ial  reporting  could  also  adversely  affect  the  results  of 
f
pperiodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding 
the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  contro
l  over  financial  reporting.  Ineffective  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  and
d 
internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other 
information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class A common stock. In addition, if
f 
we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on the NASDAQ Global Select 
Market.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control 
over financial reporting.  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 internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating.
Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a  material
and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and could cause a decline in the trading
price of our Class A common stock. 
price of our Class A common stock. 

IIf our goodwill or intangible assets become impaired, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.

We review  our intangible assets for impairment  when  events  or changes in  circumstances indicate the  carrying 
value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. An adverse change in 
market  conditions,  particularly  if  such  change  has  the  effect  of  changing  one  of  our  critical  assumptions  or  estimates,
could  result  in  a  change  to  the  estimation  of  fair  value  that  could  result  in  an  impairment  charge  to  our  goodwill  or 
t
intangible assets. Any such charges may adversely affect our results of operations. 

EEarthquakes, hurricanes, fires, floods, pandemics, power out
tt
ages, terrorist attacks and other significant events could 
d
disrupt our business and ability to serve our clients.

A significant event, such as an earthquake, hurricane, a fire, a flood, a pandemic or a power outage, could have a 
material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  results  of  operations  or  financial  condition.  For  example,  the  rapid  and  global
spread of COVID-19 has disrupted businesses and increased travel restrictions.  Health concerns or governmental, legal, 
r
ppolitical or regulatory developments in the United States or other countries in which we or our customers, partners and 
service  providers  operate  could  cause  economic,  labor  or  social  instability  and  could  materially  adversely  affect  our 
business and our results of operations and financial condition.   
business and our results of operations and financial condition.  Future developments, which are very uncertain, include
changing information about the extent and severity of COVID-19 and evolving responses by governments and businesses. 
These  future  developments  could  materially  adversely  affect  our  business  and  our  results  of  operations  and  financial
condition.  Our IP network is designed to be redundant and to offer seamless backup support in an emergency. While our 
network is designed to withstand the loss of any one data ce
nter at any point in time, the simultaneous failure of multiple
data  centers  could  disrupt  our  ability  to  serve  our  clients.  Additionally,  certain  of  our  capabilities  cannot  be  made 
redundant  feasibly  or  cost-effectively. Acts  of  physical  or  cyber  terrorism  or  other  geopolitical  unrest  also  could  cause 
disruptions  in our business. The adverse  impacts  of these risks  may  increase if our  disaster  recovery  plans  prove  to  be
inadequate.

We may acquire or invest in companies, which may divert our management’s attention and result in debt or dilution to
our  stockholders.   We may  not be  able to efficiently  and  effectively  integrate acquired  operations,  and  thus may  not 
 We may  not be  able to efficiently  and  effectively  integrate acquired  operations,  and  thus may  not 
ffully realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions.

We  may  evaluate  and  consider  potential  strategic  transactions,  including  acquisitions  of,  or  investments  in,
businesses, technologies, services, products and other assets in the future. We may also enter into relationships with other 
businesses to expand our products and platform, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels
of distribution, discount pricing or investments in other companies. 

Achieving  the  anticipated  benefits  of  any  acquisitions  depends  in  part  upon  whether  we  can  integrate  new 
bbusinesses in an efficient  and  effective  manner. The integration  of  any  acquired  businesses  involves a  number  of risks, 
including, but not limited to:

drag on our overall revenue growth rate or an increase of our net loss, which could cause analysts 

and investors to reduce their valuation of our company.

Successful  integration  of  any  acquired  businesses  or  ope

rations  will  depend  on  our  ability  to  manage  these
operations, realize opportunities for revenue growth presented by strengthened service offerings and expanded geographic 
market coverage, obtain better terms from our vendors due to increased buying power, and eliminate redundant and excess 
costs to fully realize the expected synergies. Because of difficulties in combining  geographically distant operations and 
systems which may not be fully compatible, we may not be able to achieve the financial strength and growth we anticipate 
from the acquisitions.

We  may  not  realize  our  anticipated  benefits  from  our  acquisitions,  if  any,  or  may  be  unable  to  efficiently  and 
effectively integrate acquired operations as planned. If we fail to integrate acquired businesses and operations efficiently 
and effectively or fail to realize the benefits we anticipate, we would be likely to experience material adverse effects on 
our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

Any  acquisitions  may  also  require  us  to  issue  debt  or  equity  securities,  use  our  cash  resources,  incur  debt  or 
contingent liabilities, amortize intangibles, or write-off acquisition-related expenses. In addition, we cannot predict market
reactions to any acquisitions we may make or to

 any failure to announce any future acquisitions.

While  we  would  conduct due  diligence  in  connection  with any  acquisition  opportunities,  there  may  be  risks  or 
liabilities that such due diligence efforts fail to discover, that are not disclosed to us or that we inadequately assess. The
failure  to  timely  identify  any  material  liabilities  associated  with  any  acquisitions  could  adversely  affect  our  business,
d
results of operations, and financial condition.

Our credit facility contains restrictive and financial covenants that may limit our operating flexibility.

Our  credit  facility  with  KeyBank  National  Association and  Pacific  Western  Bank  contains  certain  restrictive
covenants that either limit our ability to, or require a mandatory prepayment in the event we, among other things, incur 
additional indebtedness, issue guarantees, create liens on assets, make certain investments, merge  with or acquire other 
companies,  change  business  locations,  pay  dividends  or  make
  certain  other  restricted  payments,  transfer  or  dispose  of 
f
assets, enter into transactions with affiliates and enter into various specified transactions. We, therefore, may not be able to 
engage in any of the foregoing transactions unless we obtain the consent of our lenders or prepay the outstanding amount 
under our credit facility. Our credit facility also contains certain financial covenants and financial reporting requirements. 
Our obligations under our credit facility are secured by all of our property, with certain exceptions. We may not be able to 
generate sufficient liquidity or CPaaS Revenue to meet the financial covenants or pay the principal and interest under our 
credit  facility.  Furthermore,  future  working  capital,  borrowings  or  equity  financing  could  be  unavailable  to  repay  or 
refinance  the  amounts  outstanding  under  our  credit  facility.  In  the  event  of  a  liquidation,  all  outstanding principal  and
  principal  and 
sets to unsecured creditors, and the holders of our Class A and 
of our Class A and 
interest would have to be repaid prior to distribution of as
Class  B  common  stock  would  receive  a  portion  of  any  liquidation  proceeds  only  if  all  of  our  creditors,  including  our 
lenders, were first repaid in full. 

uu

IIf we are unable to comply with the restrictive and financial covenants in our credit facility, there would be a default 
under  the  terms  of  that  agreement,  and  this  could  result  in  an  acceleration  of  payment  of  funds  that  have  been 
borrowed.

a
If we were unable to comply with the restrictive and financial covenants in our credit facility, there would be a 
default  under  the  terms  of  that  agreement.  As  a  result,  any  borrowings  under  other  instruments  that  contain  cross-
acceleration or cross default provisions may also be accelerated and become due and payable. If any of these events occur, 
there can be no assurance that we would be able to make necessary payments to the lenders or that we would be able to 
find alternative financing. Even if we were able to obtain alternative financing, there can be no assurance that it would be 
on terms that are acceptable.

Risks Related to the Acquisition of Voxbone

Although we expect that the acquisition of Voxbone will result in synergies and other benefits to us, we may not realize 
those benefits because of difficulties related to integration, the achievement of synergies and other challenges.

Purchase  price accounting  in  connection  with  the Acquisition  requires  estimates that may  be  subject to  change and 
could impact our consolidated financial statements and future results of operations and financial position.

Pursuant to the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price we paid for Voxbone will be allocated to the 
underlying Voxbone tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market 
values  with  any  excess  purchase  price  allocated  to  goodwill. The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  dependent  upon 
certain valuations and other studies that are preliminary. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation as of the Acquisition 
date is preliminary. We currently anticipate that all the information needed to identify and measure values assigned to the

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock

The trading price of our Class A common stock may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Prior  to  our  initial  public  offering,  there  was  no  public  market  for  shares  of  our  Class  A  common  stock.  On 
NNovember 10, 2017, we sold shares of our Class A common stock to the public at $20.00 per share. From November 10, 
2017, the date that our Class A common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, through February 19,
n
2021, the trading price of our Class A common stock has ranged from $18.05 per share to 
per share. The trading

SSubstantial future sales of shares of our Class A common stock could cause the market price of our Class A common 
sstock to decline.

The  market  price  of  our  Class  A  common  stock  could  decl

ine  as  a  result  of  substantial  sales  of  our  Class  A 
A
common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, or the perception in the
market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares.

47

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Additionally, the shares of Class A common stock subject to outstanding options and restricted stock unit awards 
under our equity incentive plans and the shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans will become
eligible for sale in the public market upon issuance. Certain holders of our Class A common stock have rights, subject to 
some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration
statements that we may file for our stockholders or ourselves.

The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders 
who  held  our  capital  stock  prior  to  the  completion  of  our  initial  public  offering,  including  our  directors,  executive 
officers and significant stockholders and their respective af
ff
of the voting power
filiates who held in the aggregate 
51.5% of the voting power 
2020. This limits or precludes your ability to influence corporate matters, including 
of our capital as of December 31, 
the election of directors, amendments to our organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or 
ssubstantially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction requiring stockholder approval.

D

t

r
Our Class A common stock has one vote per share, and our

 Class B common stock has ten votes per share. As of 
f
December  31,  2020,  our  directors,  executive  officers  and  holders  of  more  than  5%  of  our  common  stock,  and  their 
respective  affiliates,  hold  in  the  aggregate 
the  voting  power  of  our  capital  stock.  Because  of  the  ten-to-one
51.5%  of  the  voting  power  of  our  capital  stock.  Because  of  the  ten-to-one 
voting ratio between our Class B and Class A common stock, the holders of our Class B common stock collectively will 
r
continue  to  control  a  majority  of the  combined  voting  power of  our common  stock  and therefore  be  able to  control all 
matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. This concentrated control limits or precludes your ability to influence
corporate  matters  for  the  foreseeable  future,  including  the  election  of  directors,  amendments  to  our  organizational
documents, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substant
ially all of our assets, or other major corporate transaction
n 
requiring stockholder approval. In addition, this may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for 
our capital stock that you may feel are in your best interest as one of our stockholders.

nn

Future transfers by holders of Class B common stock will 

generally result in those shares converting to Class A 
A
common  stock,  subject  to  limited  exceptions,  such  as  certain  transfers  effected  for  estate  planning  purposes.  The
conversion of Class B common stock to Class A common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative
voting power of those holders of Class B common stock who retain their shares in the long term. 

We cannot predict the impact our capital structure may have on our stock price.

In  July  2017,  S&P  Dow  Jones,  a  provider  of  widely  followed  stock  indices,  announced  that  companies  with
multiple share classes, such as ours, will not be eligible for in
clusion in certain of their indices. As a result, our Class A
A 
common stock will likely not be eligible for these stock indices. Many investment funds are precluded from investing in 
companies that are not included in such indices, and these funds would be unable to purchase our Class A common stock 
if we were not included in such indices. We cannot assure you that other stock indices will not take a similar approach to 
S&P Dow Jones in the future. Exclusion from indices could make our Class A common stock less attractive to investors
and, as a result, the market price of our Class A common stock could be adversely affected.

As 

In  addition,  several  stockholder  advisory  firms  have  announced  their  opposition  to  the  use  of  multiple  class 
structures. As  a  result,  the  dual  class  structure  of  our  co
mmon  stock  may  cause  stockholder  advisory  firms  to  publish 
negative  commentary  about  our  corporate  governance  practices  or  otherwise  seek  to  cause  us  to  change  our  capital 
structure.  Any  actions  or  publications  by  stockholder  advisory  firms  critical  of  our  corporate  governance  practices  or 
capital structure could also adversely affect the value of our Class A common stock.

kk
We  may  become  effectively  controlled  by  David  A.  Morken,  our  Co-Founder  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,  whose 
interests may differ from other stockholders.

If all or substantially all of the holders of our Class B common stock convert their shares into Class A common
stock  voluntarily  or  otherwise,  Mr.  Morken  may  control  approximately  36.0%  of  the  combined  voting  power  of  our 
outstanding  capital  stock. As  a  result,  Mr.  Morken  may  have  the  ability  to  effectively  control  the  appointment  of  our 
management, the entering into of mergers, sales of substantially all or all of our assets and other extraordinary transactions
and influence amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. If Mr. Morken obtains control of a majority of 
the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, he would have the ability to control the vote in any election of directors 
and  would  have  the  ability  to  prevent  any  transaction  that  requires  stockholder  approval  regardless  of  whether  other 
stockholders believe the transaction is in our best interests. In any of these matters, the interests of Mr. Morken may differ 

48

 
 
from or conflict with your interests. Moreover, this concentration of ownership may also adversely affect the trading price 
for  our  Class  A  common  stock  to  the  extent  investors  perceive  disadvantages  in  owning  stock  of  a  company  with  a 
controlling stockholder. 

IIf securities or industry analysts cease publishing research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they 
change  their  recommendations  regarding  our  Class  A  common  stock  adversely,  the  trading  price  of  our  Class  A 
common stock and trading volume could decline.

The  trading  market  for  our  Class A  common  stock  is  influenced  by  the  research  and  reports  that  securities  or 
industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover 
us change their recommendation regarding our Class A common stock in an adverse manner, or provide more favorable
recommendations  about  our  competitors  relative  to  us,  the  trading  price  of  our  Class  A  common  stock  would  likely 
decline. If any analyst who covers us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we
could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the trading price of our Class A common stock or 
r
trading volume to decline.

opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Class A common stock and could also affect 
the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class A common stock.

ff

Our  second amended  and  restated  certificate  of  incorporation  and  our  second  amended  and  restated  bylaws  include 
ssuper-majority voting provisions that will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

rr
Our  second  amended  and  restated  certificate  of  incorporation  and  our  second  amended  and  restated  bylaws
include  provisions  that  require  the  affirmative  vote  of  two-thirds  of  all  of  the  outstanding  shares  of  our  capital  stock 
entitled to vote to effect certain changes. These changes include amending or repealing our second amended and restated 
bbylaws or second amended and restated certificate of incorporation or removing a director from office for cause. If all or 
substantially all of the holders of our Class B common stock convert their shares into Class A common stock voluntarily 
or otherwise, Mr. Morken may control the majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, and therefore he 
may have the ability to prevent any such changes, which will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

Our second amended and restated bylaws provide, subject to certain exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State 
of  Delaware  will  be  the  sole  and  exclusive  forum  for  certain  stockholder  litigation  matters,  which  could  limit  our 
sstockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or 
sstockholders.

Our second amended and restated bylaws provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action
or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our 
directors, officers or stockholder to us or our stockholders;
(iii) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by
y
the internal affairs doctrine; or (iv) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our second amended and restated bylaws. If a stockholder 
files  an  action  within  the  scope  of  the  preceding  sentence in  any  other  court  than  a  court  located  in  Delaware,  the
stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of our second amended and restated bylaws described

kholders which may discourage
favorable for  disputes  with  us  or  any  of our directors, officers, other employees or stoc
lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our 
rr
second  amended  and  restated  bylaws  to  be  inapplicable  or  unenforceable  in  an  action,  we  may  incur  additional  costs
associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial 
condition and results of operations.

ff

We may need additional capital in the future and such capita
when needed could prevent us from growing in accordance with our plans.

l may be limited or unavailable. Failure to raise capital 
l

y

We  may  require  more  capital  in  the  future  from  equity  or  debt  financings  to  fund  our  operations,  finance 
investments  in  equipment  and  infrastructure,  acquire  complementary  businesses  and  technologies,  and  respond  to 
competitive  pressures  and  potential  strategic  opportunities.  If  we  are  required  to  raise  additional  funds  through  further 
ty, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution,
issuances of equity or other securities convertible into equi
and  any  new  shares  we issue  could  have  rights,  preferences  or
r
 privileges  senior  to  those  of  the  holders  of  our  Class A 
A
common  stock. The  additional  capital  we  may  seek  may  not  be  available  on  favorable  terms  or  at  all.  In  addition,  our 
credit facility limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness under certain circumstances. If we are unable to obtain 
capital on favorable terms or at all, we may have to reduce our operations or forego opportunities, and this may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock and do not intend to pay any 
cash  dividends  in  the  foreseeable  future.  We  anticipate  that we  will  retain  all  of  our  future  earnings  for  use  in  the

50

 
 
 
development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be 
at the discretion of our board of directors. In addition, the terms of our credit facility contain restrictions on our ability to
declare and pay cash dividends on our capital stock. 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.

IIf  a  large  number  of  shares  of  our  Class A  common  stock  is  sold  in  the  public  market,  the  sales  could  reduce  the 
trading price of our Class A common stock and impede our ability to raise future capital.

We cannot predict what effect, if any, future issuances by us of our Class A common stock will have on the market 
pprice of our Class A common stock. In addition, shares of our Class A common stock that we issue in connection with an
acquisition  may  not  be  subject  to  resale  restrictions.  The  market  price  of  our  Class  A  common  stock  could  drop 
significantly  if  certain  large  holders  of  our  Class  A  common  stock,  or  recipients  of  our  Class  A  common  stock  in
connection with an acquisition, sell all or a significant portion of their shares of Class A common stock or are perceived
d 
bby the market as intending to sell these shares other than in an orderly manner. In addition, these sales could impair our 
ability to raise capital through the sale of additional Class A common stock in the capital markets.

Risks Related to the Convertible Notes and Our Indebtedness

Servicing our future indebtedness may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow 
from our business to pay our indebtedness.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness,
including the Convertible Notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive 
and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to
service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required 
to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt financing or equity 
capital  on  terms  that  may  be  onerous  or  highly  dilutive.  Our  ability  to  refinance  our  indebtedness  will  depend  on  the 
capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage
in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. In addition, any of our future
of  these  alternatives.  Our 
aa
debt  agreements  may  contain  restrictive  covenants  that  may  prohibit  us  from  adopting  any 
failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the 
acceleration of our indebtedness. 

t

Our credit facility may limit our ability to pay any cash amount upon the conversion or repurchase of the Convertible 
Notes.

t

Our credit facility with KeyBank National Association and Pacific Western Bank prohibits us from making any
cash  payments  on  the  conversion  or  repurchase  of  the  Convertible  Notes  if,  after  giving  effect  to  such  conversion  or 
repurchase (and any additional indebtedness incurred in connection with such conversion or a repurchase), we would not 
be in pro forma compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility. Any new credit facility that we may 
enter  into  may  have  similar  restrictions.  Our  failure  to  make  cash  payments  upon  the  conversion  or  repurchase  of  the 
Convertible Notes as required under the terms of the Convertible Notes would permit holders of the Convertible Notes to 
accelerate  our  obligations  under  the  Convertible  Notes.  In  addition,  our  credit  facility  contains,  and  any  future 
indebtedness that we may incur may contain, financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our 
business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness.  If we fail to comply with these covenants or to
make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in 
turn, result in that indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. 

We may incur substantially more debt or take other actions which would intensify the risks discussed above.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, subject to the restrictions
contained in our debt instruments, some of which may be secured debt. We will not be restricted under the terms of the 
indenture governing the Convertible Notes from incurring additional debt, securing existing or future debt, recapitalizing 
our debt or taking a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible 
Notes that could have the effect of diminishing our ability to make payments on the Convertible Notes when due. Our 

51

 
Credit  Facility  restricts  our  ability  to  incur  additional  indebtedness,  including  secured  indebtedness,  but  if  the  facility 
matures or is repaid, we may not be subject to such restrictions under the terms of any subsequent indebtedness.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary for cash settlement upon conversion of the Convertible Notes 
or  to  repurchase  the  Convertible  Notes  for  cash  following  a  fundamental  change,  and  our  future  debt  may  contain 
limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or to repurchase the Convertible Notes.

n

Subject  to  limited  exceptions,  holders  of  the  Convertible Notes  have  the  right  to  require  us  to repurchase  their 
Convertible Notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a cash repurchase price generally equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding,
the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, unless we elect to deliver 
solely  shares  of  our  Class A  common  stock  to  settle  such  conversion  (other  than  paying  cash  in  lieu  of  delivering  any 
fractional  share),  we  will  be  required  to  make  cash  payments  in  respect  of  the  Convertible  Notes  being  converted. 
However,  we  may  not  have  enough  available  cash  or  be  able  to  obtain  financing  at  the  time  we  are  required  to  make
repurchases  of  Convertible  Notes  surrendered  therefor  or  pay  the  cash  amounts  due  upon  conversion.  In  addition,  our 
ability to repurchase the Convertible Notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the Convertible Notes may be limited by 
applicable law, by regulatory authorities or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase
the Convertible Notes at a time when such repurchase is required by the indenture governing the Convertible Notes or to
pay  the  cash  amounts  due  upon  future  conversions  of  the  Convertible  Notes  as  required  by  such  indenture  would 
constitute a default under such indenture. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself may also lead to a 
default  under  agreements  governing  our  existing  or  future  indebtedness,  which  may  result  in  such  existing  or  future 
indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts  due under 
such  existing  or  future  indebtedness  and  repurchase  the Convertible  Notes  or  make  cash  payments  upon  conversions 
thereof.  

The  triggering  of  the  conditional  conversion  feature  of  the  Convertible  Notes  may  adversely  affect  our  financial 
condition and operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is triggered, holders of the Convertible
Notes will be entitled to convert the Convertible Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more
holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes during a period in which the Convertible Notes are convertible, unless we
elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class A common stock (other than paying cash 
in  lieu  of  delivering  any  fractional  share),  we  would  be  required  to  settle  a  portion  or  all  of  our  conversion  obligation 
through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert
their Convertible Notes, under certain circumstances, such as a fundamental change or event of default, as described in the
indenture, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal
of the Convertible Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net 
working capital.

The accounting method for convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash, such as the Convertible Notes, could 
have a material effect on our reported financial results.

trading price of our Class A common stock and the trading price of the Convertible Notes. 

In addition, under certain circumstances, convertible debt instruments (such as the Convertible Notes) that may be
settled entirely or partly in cash are currently accounted for utilizing the treasury stock method, the effect of which is that
the shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per 
share except to the extent that the conversion value of the Convertible Notes exceeds their principal amount. Under the
treasury stock method, for diluted earnings per share purposes, the transaction is accounted for as if the number of shares
of Class A common stock that would be necessary to settle such excess, if we elected to settle such excess in shares, are 
issued. We cannot be sure that the accounting standards in the future will continue to permit the use of the treasury stock 
method. If we are unable to use the treasury stock method in accounting for the shares issuable upon conversion of the 
Convertible Notes, then our diluted earnings per share would be adversely affected in periods when we report net income.

expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible
Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 
Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

We  have  been advised that  in  connection  with  establishing  their  initial  hedges  of  the  Capped  Calls, the  Option 
Counterparties  or  their  respective  affiliates  entered  into  various  derivative  transactions  with  respect  to  our  Class  A 
common stock and/or purchased shares of our Class A common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the 
Convertible Notes. 

In  addition,  we  have  been  advised  that  the  Option  Counterparties  and/or  their  respective  affiliates  may  modify 
their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our Class A common stock and/or 
purchasing or selling our Class A common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions at any time
prior  to  the  maturity  of  the  Convertible  Notes  (and  are  likely  to  do  so  during  any  observation  period  related  to  a 
conversion of Convertible Notes). This activity could cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our 
Class A common stock.

We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any potential effect that the 
transactions described above may have on the price of the Convertible Notes or our Class A common stock. In addition,
we  do  not  make  any  representation  that  the  Option  Counterparties  will  engage  in  these  transactions  or  that  these
transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the Capped Calls.

The  Option  Counterparties  are  financial  institutions,  and  we  will  be  subject  to  the  risk  that  any  or  all  of  them 
might default under the Capped Calls. Our exposure to the credit risk of the Option Counterparties will not be secured by 
any collateral. Past global economic conditions have resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of 
many  financial  institutions.  If  an  Option  Counterparty  becomes  subject  to  insolvency  proceedings,  we  will  become  an 
unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under the Capped Calls with such 
Option  Counterparty.  Our  exposure  will  depend  on  many  factors  but,  generally,  an  increase  in  our  exposure  will  be 
correlated to an increase in the market price and in the volatility of our Class A common stock. In addition, upon a default 
by an Option Counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and more dilution than we currently anticipate with 
respect to our Class A common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of the Option 
Counterparties.

We  currently  lease  all  our  facilities  and  do  not  own  any  real  property.  On  June  15,  2020,  we  signed  a 
Purchase  and  Sale Agreement  with  the  state  of  North  Carolina  regarding  the  sale  of  approximately  40  acres  of 
vacant land to construct a new headquarters in Raleigh, NC. We believe this new facility will provide the additional
space needed to accommodate our growing work force.

plaintiff and putative class members. We filed a motion to dismiss the action on February 3, 2021. 

We intend to vigorously defend these lawsuits and believe we have meritorious defenses to each. However, 
uu
litigation is inherently uncertain, and any judgment or injunctive relief entered against us or any adverse settlement 
could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In  addition  to  the  litigation  discussed  above,  from  time  to  time,  we  may  be  subject  to  legal  actions  and 
claims in the ordinary course of business. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from
m 
third  parties  relating  to  number  management,  and  claims  asserting,  among  other  things,  infringement  of  their 
intellectual property rights. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves, our partners and our customers
bby determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights, or to establish our proprietary 
rights.  The  results  of  any  current  or  future  litigation  cannot  be  predicted  with  certainty,  and  regardless  of  the 
outcome,  litigation  can  have  an  adverse  impact  on  us  be

stock.

Stockholders

As of February 19, 2021, we had 24 holders of record of our Class A and Class B common stock. The actual
number of stockholders is greater than this number of record holders and includes stockholders who are beneficial 
owners but whose shares are held in street name by brokers and other nominees. 

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all of 
our  future  earnings,  if  any,  generated  by  our  operations  for  the  development  and  growth  of  our  business  for  the
foreseeable future. The decision to pay dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our 
financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors that our board of directors deems
relevant.

Stock Performance Graph 

This  performance  graph  shall  not  be  deemed  “soliciting  material”  or  to  be  “filed”  with  the  SEC  for 
purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section, and shall not 
be  deemed  to  be  incorporated  by  reference  into  any filing  of  Bandwidth  Inc.  under  the  Securities  Act  or  the 
Exchange Act.

The graph below compares the cumulative total return to our stockholders between November 10, 2017 (the
date our Class A common stock commenced trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market) through December 31,
2020 in comparison to the NASDAQ Composite Index and the S&P 500 Information Technology Index. The graph 
assumes $100 was invested in the Class A common stock of Bandwidth Inc., the NASDAQ Composite Index and 
the S&P 500 Information Technology Index, and assumes reinvestment of any dividends. 

The comparisons in the graph below are based on historical data and are not indicative of, nor intended to 

forecast, the future performance of our Class A common stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We  use  Non-GAAP  gross  profit,  Non-GAAP  gross  margin,  Non-GAAP  net  income  (loss),  Adjusted 
EBITDA  and  free  cash  flow  for  financial  and  operational  decision  making  and  to  evaluate  period-to-period 
differences in our performance. Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), 
Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe are useful for investors 
in  evaluating  our  overall  financial  performance.  We  believe  these  measures  provide  useful  information  about 
operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future  prospects and allow 
for  greater  transparency  with  respect  to  key  performance  indicators  used  by  management  in  its  financial  and 
operational decision making. See below for a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP financial measures described 
below.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin

GAAP defines gross profit as revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue includes all expenses associated

Operations-(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:3) (cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3) (cid:53)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:42)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:48)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:17)(cid:180)(cid:3) (cid:58)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:49)(cid:82)(cid:81)-GAAP  gross  profit  as  gross  profit  after  adding 
back the following items:

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

depreciation and amortization;  

amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions; and 

stock-based compensation. 

We  add  back  depreciation  and  amortization,  amortization  of  acquired  intangible  assets  related  to 
acquisitions, and stock-based compensation, because they are non-cash items. We eliminate the impact of these non-
cash  items  because  we  do  not  consider  them  indicative  of  our  core  operating  performance.  Their  exclusion 
facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We believe showing gross margin,
as Non-GAAP to remove the impact of these non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization and stock-
based compensation, is helpful to investors in assessing our gross profit and gross margin performance in a way that 
r
is similar to how management assesses our performance. 

We  calculate  Non-GAAP  gross  margin  by  dividing  Non-GAAP  gross  profit  by  revenue,  expressed  as  a 

percentage of revenue. 

Management uses Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin to evaluate operating performance 
and to determine resource allocation among our various service offerings. We believe Non-GAAP gross profit and 
Non-GAAP  gross  margin  provide  useful  information  to  investors  and  others  to  understand  and  evaluate  our 
operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors and allows for better comparison of 
financial  results  among  our  competitors.  Non-GAAP  gross  profit  and  Non-GAAP  gross  margin  may  not  be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Non-GAAP 
gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income or loss adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-

period comparability. Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes: 

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

stock-based compensation;

amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions;

amortization of debt discount and issuance costs for convertible debt;

acquisition related expenses;

impairment charges of intangibles assets, if any; 

loss (gain) on disposal of property and equipment; 

estimated tax impact of above adjustments; 

income  tax  benefit  resulting  from  excess  tax  benefits  associated  with  the  exercise  of  stock 
options, vesting of restricted stock units and equity compensation; and 

62

(cid:135)

expense resulting from recording the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

We calculate Non-GAAP basic and diluted shares by adding the weighted average of outstanding Series A 
redeemable  convertible  preferred  stock,  if  any,  to  the  weighted  average  number  of  outstanding  basic  and  diluted 
shares, respectively. The tax-effect of Non-GAAP adjustments is determined using a blended rate of statutory tax 
rates in the jurisdictions where the Company has tax filings. When the Company has a valuation allowance recorded 
and no tax benefits will be recognized, the rate is considered to be zero. 

We believe Non-GAAP net income (loss) is a meaningful measure because by removing certain non-cash
and other expenses we are able to evaluate our operating results in a manner we believe is more indicative of the
(cid:70)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3) (cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:73)ormance.  We  believe  the  use  of  Non-GAAP  net  income  (loss)  may  be  helpful  to  investors 
because  it  provides  consistency  and  comparability  with  past  financial  performance,  facilitates  period-to-period 
comparisons  of  results  of  operations  and  assists  in  comparisons  with  other  companies,  many  of  which  may  use 
similar Non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA

We  define Adjusted  EBITDA  as  net  income  or  losses  from  continuing  operations,  adjusted  to  reflect  the

addition or elimination of certain income statement items including, but not limited to:

Adjusted  EBITDA  is  a  key  measure  used  by  management  to  understand  and  evaluate  our  core  operating 
performance and trends, to generate future operating plans and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation 
of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons
of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis.

Free Cash Flow 

Free  cash  flow  represents  net  cash  provided  by  or  used  in  operating  activities  less  net  cash  used  in  the 
acquisition of property and equipment and capitalized development costs of software for internal use. We believe
free  cash  flow  is  a  useful indicator  of  liquidity  and  provides information to  management  and  investors  about  the
amount of cash generated from our core operations that can be used for investing in our business. Free cash flow has
certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, it 
does  not  take  into  consideration  investment  in  long-term  securities,  nor  does  it  represent  the  residual  cash  flows
available  for  discretionary  expenditures.  Therefore,  it  is  important  to  evaluate  free  cash  flow  along  with  our 
consolidated statements of cash flows.

conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this Annual 
Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations 
and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in 
these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in

We are the only CPaaS provider in the industry that owns and operates a nationwide IP voice network in the
U.S.  In  2020  we  acquired  Voxbone,  a  leading  European-based  communications  platform  with  its  own  IP  voice
network  assembled  by  building  relationships  with  local  carriers  around  the  globe.  Our  deep  U.S.  presence  and 
global platform extending across more than 60 countries serves enterprises in countries representing more than 90%
of global gross domestic product. We believe that our current and future customers will benefit from using a unified 
software platform, network and team to serve people around the world. 

Our  voice  software  APIs  allow  enterprises  to  make  and  receive  phone  calls  and  create  advanced  voice
experiences. Integration with our purpose-built IP voice network ensures enterprise-grade functionality and secure,
high-quality connections. Our messaging software APIs provide enterprises with advanced tools to connect with end 
users  via  messaging.  Our  customers  also  use  our  solutions  to  enable  911  response  capabilities,  real-time 
provisioning and activation of phone numbers and toll-free number messaging.

We  believe  our  network  is  capital-efficient  and  supports  the  applications  and  experiences  that  make  a
difference in the way enterprises communicate. Since a communications platform is only as strong as the network 
mm
that backs it, we believe our network provides a significant competitive advantage in the control, quality, pricing 
power  and  scalability  of  our  offering.  We  are  able  to control  the  quality  and  provide  the  support  our  customers
expect, while meeting regulatory, scalability and cost requirements more efficiently.

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, total revenue was $204.1 million, $232.6 million 
and  $343.1  million,  respectively.  For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2019  and  2020,  CPaaS  revenue  was 
$164.4 million, $197.9 million and $298.1 million, respectively, representing an increase of 20% in 2019 and 51%
in 2020. Net income in 2018 and 2019 was $17.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and net loss in 2020 was
$44.0 million. As of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the number of active CPaaS customer accounts was 1,230, 
1,728 and 2,848, respectively, representing a year over year increase of 40% in 2019, and 65% in 2020.

On February 
28, 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the COVID-19 threat from high to very high at a global level due to the 
continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries, and on March 11, 2020, the WHO characterized 
COVID-19 as a pandemic.  

The circumstances caused by COVID-19 resulted in increased use of our services during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2020 because of more reliance on our offerings to connect people during a time of physical
distancing and work from home environments. Increased usage was mostly driven by large enterprise customers that

these  services and  solutions  to  continue  until the  effects  of  COVID-19  abate.   We  believe  that  usage  of many  of 
these services and solutions will continue after the effects of COVID-19 abate as employees and enterprises utilize 
work  from  home  arrangements  more  prevalently.    The  broader  implications  of  COVID-19  on  our  results  of 
operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly all of 
our employees in the United States and Europe worked from home during the calendar year ending on December 
31, 2020 and we implemented certain travel restrictions, neither of which disrupted our operations.  The COVID-19 
pandemic and its adverse effects have become more prevalent in the locations where we, our customers, suppliers 
and third-party business partners conduct business and, as a result, we may experience disruptions in our operations. 
As COVID-19 effects abate, we may experience curtailed customer demand that could materially adversely impact 
our  business,  results  of  operations  and  overall  financial  performance  in  future  periods.  Specifically,  we  may 
experience impact from enterprises reducing usage of our services or delaying decisions to implement our services.  
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic will not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial

Number of Active CPaaS Customer Accounts

We believe the number of active CPaaS customer accounts is an important indicator of the growth of our 
business, the market acceptance of our platform and our future revenue trends. We define an active CPaaS customer 
account at the end of any period as an individual account, as identified by a unique account identifier, for which we
have recognized at least $100 of revenue in the last month of the period. We believe that the use of our platform by 
active CPaaS customer accounts at or above the $100 per month threshold is a stronger indicator of potential future
engagement than trial usage of our platform at levels below $100 per month. A single organization may constitute 
multiple  unique  active  CPaaS  customer  accounts  if  it  has  multiple  unique  account  identifiers,  each  of  which  is 
treated as a separate active CPaaS customer account. Customers who pay after using our platform and customers 
that have credit balances are included in the number of active CPaaS customer accounts. Customers from our Other 
segment are excluded in the number of active CPaaS customer accounts, unless they are also CPaaS customers.

In  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2019  and  2020, revenue  from  active  CPaaS  customer  accounts 

represented approximately 99% of total CPaaS revenue.

Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate

Our ability to drive growth and generate incremental revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain 
and grow our relationships with our existing customers that generate CPaaS revenue and seek to increase their use 
of  our  platform.  We  track  our  performance  in  this  area  by  measuring  the  dollar-based  net  retention  rate  for  our 
customers  who  generate  CPaaS  revenue.  Our  dollar-based net  retention  rate  compares  the  CPaaS  revenue  from 
customers in a quarter to the same quarter in the prior year. To calculate the dollar-based net retention rate, we first 
identify the cohort of customers that generate CPaaS revenue and that were customers in the same quarter of the 
prior year. The dollar-based net retention rate is obtained by dividing the CPaaS revenue generated from that cohort 
in a quarter, by the CPaaS revenue generated from that same cohort in the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
When  we  calculate  dollar-based  net  retention  rate  for  periods  longer  than  one  quarter,  we  use  the  average  of  the
quarterly dollar-based net retention rates for the quarters in such period. Our dollar-based net retention rate increases
when  such customers increase usage  of a  product,  extend  usage  of  a  product to new  applications  or adopt a  new 
product. Our dollar-based net retention rate decreases when such customers cease or reduce usage of a product or 
when we lower prices on our solutions.

As our customers grow their business and extend the use of our platform, they sometimes create multiple
customer  accounts  with  us  for  operational  or  other  reasons.  As  such,  when  we  identify  a  significant  customer 
organization (defined as a single customer organization generating more than 1% of CPaaS revenue in a quarterly 
reporting period) that has created a new CPaaS customer, this new customer is tied to, and CPaaS revenue from this 
new customer is included with, the original CPaaS customer for the purposes of calculating this metric.

Key Components of Statements of Operations

Revenue 

We  generate  a  majority  of  our  revenue  from  our  CPaaS  segment.  CPaaS  revenue  is  derived  from  voice 
usage,  phone  number  services,  911-enabled  phone  number  services,  messaging  services  and  other  services.  We 
generate  a  portion  of  our  CPaaS  revenue  from  usage-based  fees,  which  include  voice  calling  and  messaging
services.  

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, we generated 64%, 66% and 74% of our CPaaS 
revenue,  respectively,  from  usage-based  fees.  We  also  earn  monthly  fees  from  services  such  as  phone  number 
services and 911 access service. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, we generated 34%, 31% 
and 24% of our CPaaS revenue, respectively, in each period from monthly per unit fees. The remaining 2%, 3% and 
2% of our CPaaS revenue is generated from other miscellaneous services. 

68 

Management(cid:182)s Discussion and Analysis 

The remainder of our revenue is generated by our Other segment. Other revenue is composed of revenue 
earned from our legacy services and indirect revenue. Other revenue as a percentage of total revenue is expected to 
continue to decline over time.

We recognize accounts receivable at the time the customer is invoiced. Additionally, we record a receivable
and revenue for unbilled revenue if the services have been delivered and are billable in subsequent periods. Unbilled 
revenue made up 47%, 54% and 51% of outstanding accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts as 
of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

CPaaS  cost of revenue  consists  primarily  of fees  paid  to  other  network  service providers from  whom  we
buy services such as minutes of use, phone numbers, messages, porting of customer numbers and network circuits. 
Cost of revenue also contains costs related to support  of our IP voice network, web services, cloud infrastructure,
capacity  planning  and  management,  rent  for  network  facilities,  software  licenses,  hardware  and  software
maintenance fees and network engineering services. Personnel costs (including non-cash stock-based compensation 
expenses) associated with personnel who are responsible for the delivery of services, operation and maintenance of 
our communications network, and customer support, as well as, third-party support agreements and depreciation of 
network  equipment,  amortization  of  internally  developed  software  and  gain  (loss)  on  disposal  of  property  and 
equipment are also included in cost of revenue.

Other cost of revenue consists of costs supporting non-CPaaS services including leased circuit costs paid to 
third party providers, internet connectivity expenses, minutes of use, direct operations, contractors, regulatory fees, 
surcharges and other pass-through costs and software and hardware maintenance fees.

Gross margin is calculated by subtracting cost of revenue from revenue, divided by total revenue, expressed 
as  a  percentage.  Our  cost  of  revenue  and  gross  margin  have  been,  and  will  continue  to  be,  affected  by  several 
factors,  including  the  timing  and  extent  of  our  investments  in  our  network,  our  ability  to  manage  off-network 
minutes of use and messaging costs, the product mix of revenue, the timing of amortization of capitalized software 
development costs and the extent to which we periodically choose to pass on any cost savings to our customers in 
the form of lower usage prices.

Operating Expenses

The  most  significant  components  of  operating  expenses  are  personnel  costs,  which  consist  of  salaries, 
benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation expenses. We also incur other non-personnel costs related to our 
general  overhead  expenses,  including  facility  expenses,  software  licenses,  web  services,  depreciation  and 
amortization of assets unrelated to delivery of our services. We expect that our operating expenses will increase in 
absolute dollars.

Research and Development

Research and development ((cid:179)R&D(cid:180)) consists primarily of personnel costs (including non-cash stock-based 
compensation expenses), outsourced software development and engineering service and cloud infrastructure fees for 
staging and development of outsourced engineering services. We capitalize the portion of our software development
costs in instances where we invest resources to develop software for internal use. We plan to continue to invest in 
R&D to enhance current product offerings and develop new services.

Sales and Marketing

Sales  and  marketing  expenses  consist  primarily  of  personnel  costs,  including  commissions  for  our  sales 
employees  and  non-cash  stock-based  compensation  expenses.  Sales  and  marketing  expenses  also  include
expenditures  related  to  advertising,  marketing,  our  brand  awareness  activities,  sales  support  and  professional 
services fees.

69

Management(cid:182)s Discussion and Analysis 

We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating sales leads and establishing and promoting our brand.
We  plan  to  continue  to  invest  in  sales  and  marketing  in  order  to  expand  our  CPaaS  customer  base  by  growing 
headcount,  driving  our  go-to-market  strategies,  building  brand  awareness,  advertising  and  sponsoring  additional
marketing events.

General and Administrative

General  and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily  of  personnel  costs,  including  stock-based 
compensation,  for  our  accounting,  finance,  legal,  human  resources  and  administrative  support  personnel  and 
executives.  General and administrative  expenses  also include costs related to  product  management  and reporting,
customer  billing  and  collection  functions,  information  services,  professional  services  fees,  credit  card  processing 
fees, rent associated with our headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina and our other offices, and depreciation and 
amortization. 

Income Taxes

For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, our effective tax rate was (154.1)%, 116.4% and 
(51.8)%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate is primarily due to the change in judgment related to the 
realizability of certain deferred tax assets and the resulting valuation allowance. 

Judgment  is  required  in  determining  whether  deferred  tax  assets  will  be  realized  in  full  or  in  part.  
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence on a jurisdictional basis to estimate if deferred 
tax  assets  will be  recognized  and  when it  is  more  likely  than  not  that all  or some  deferred  tax  assets  will  not  be 
realized,  and  a  valuation  allowance  must  be  established.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  continues  to
maintain a valuation allowance for its U.S. federal and state and U.K. net deferred tax assets.

was enacted. The Cares Act includes multiple income tax provisions that impact our tax expense, such as relaxing
limitations on the deductibility of interest and the use of net operating losses arising in taxable years beginning after 
December 31, 2017.  We have accounted for the estimated impact of the Cares Act.

In  2020,  total  revenue  increased  by  $110.5  million,  or  48%,  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2019,  and 
CPaaS revenue increased by $100.1 million, or 51%, compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in CPaaS 
revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the usage of all our service offerings, particularly our voice and 
messaging usage, which accounted for $58.6 million of the increase in CPaaS revenue. Messaging usage increased 
in the year due to higher volumes of messages related to political campaigns for the U.S. elections in November.
The  situation  caused  by  COVID-19  also  caused  increased  usage  in  the  year  because  of  more  reliance  on  our 
offerings to connect people during a time of physical distancing and work from home environment. Increased usage 
was  mostly  driven  by  large  enterprise  customers  that  offer  UCaaS  services  and  meeting  solutions  and  our  phone
number services. Our phone number services and 911-enabled phone number services accounted for $13.2 million
of  the  increase  in  CPaaS  revenue.   In  2020,  CPaaS  revenue  also  increased  by  $11.8  million  from  higher  usage 
pricing due to a shift in product mix to products with a higher rate compared to the same period in 2019. In addition,
$16.6  million  of  growth  was  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  Voxbone  for  the  period  from  November  1,  2020 
through December 31, 2020. The changes in usage and price in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 were
reflected in our dollar-based net retention rate of 131%. In addition, revenue from new CPaaS customers contributed 
$22.9 million, or 11%, to CPaaS revenue for 2020 compared to $11.7 million, or 7%, in the same period in 2019.
The increase in usage was also attributable to a 65% increase in the number of active CPaaS customer accounts, 
from 1,728 as of December 31, 2019 to 2,848 as of December 31, 2020. As a percentage of total revenue, CPaaS
revenue increased from 85% in 2019 to 87% in the same period in 2020.

n

Other revenue increased by $10.4 million, or 30%, in 2020 due to higher indirect revenue, which increased 
by  $12.7  million  primarily  due  to  an  increase  in  messaging  surcharges  and  indirect  voice  revenue,  offset  by  the 
expected decline of legacy revenue, which decreased by $2.3 million, compared to the same period in 2019.

Management(cid:182)s Discussion and Analysis 

In 2020, total gross profit increased by $50.2 million, or 47%, compared to the same period in 2019. Total 
gross  margin  was  46%  for  both  years.  In  2020,  CPaaS  cost  of  revenue  increased  by  $50.4  million,  or  46%, 
compared to the same period in 2019. CPaaS cost of revenue increased due to an increase in voice usage costs of 
$25.0 million due to growth in minutes used by customers. Cost of messaging increased by $10.3 million due to 
growth in messages used by customers, including an increase related to political campaigns and increased cost per 
message. Network costs also increased $13.0 million due to network expansions and depreciation expense. Cost of 
phone numbers and 911 increased by $2.1 million. COVID-19 and the increased usage resulting from the work at 
home environment generated increased voice usage costs and network expansions. CPaaS gross margin increased 
from 44% in 2019 to 46% in 2020. Excluding depreciation and stock-based compensation of $6.8 million in 2019
and $9.7 million in 2020, CPaaS Non-GAAP gross margin was 48% and 50%, respectively, and total Non-GAAP
gross margin was 49% for both years.

In 2020, other cost of revenue increased by $9.9 million compared to the same period in 2019, primarily 
due to a $10.8 million increase in cost of indirect revenue related to messaging surcharges offset by a $0.9 million 
decrease in costs as a result of the expected churn in legacy services.

In  2020,  R&D  expenses  related  to  the  expansion  of  our  product  offerings  increased  by  $10.6  million,  or 
34%, compared to the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily due to increased personnel costs of $10.1
million including the impact of growth in headcount as a result of the Acquisition and an increase in non-headcount 
costs of $0.5 million.

In 2020, sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.5 million, or 16%, compared to the same period in 
2019, primarily due to an overall increase in sales personnel costs of $6.6 million including the impact of growth in 
headcount as a result of the Acquisition offset by a decrease in non-headcount costs of $1.1 million.

In  2020,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  by  $29.9 million,  or  51%,  compared  to  the  same 
period in 2019. This increase was due to $12.7 million in costs which consist of mainly fees for financial and legal 
services,  due  diligence  services  and  success  fees  related  to  the  acquisition  of  Voxbone,  higher  personnel  cost  of 
$11.9 million due to the impact of growth in headcount as a result of the Acquisition, depreciation and amortization 
costs of $3.1 million, facilities costs of $1.4 million, bank charges and license costs  of $1.1 million, professional 
costs of $0.6 million, and expensed IT charges of $0.6 million, offset by lower other non-headcount costs of $0.9 
million and travel and entertainment expenses of $0.6 million, which contributed to the overall increase in general 
and administrative expenses.

As  a  percentage  of  revenue,  total  operating  expenses  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2019  and 
2020 increased from 43% to 53% and 50%, respectively, as operating expenditures growth exceeded corresponding 
growth in revenue in 2019 and 2020.

Interest Income (Expense), Net

In  2020,  interest expense, net increased  by  $16.1  million compared  to  the  same  period  in 2019, due  to a 
$0.1  million  decrease  in  interest  income  from  the  investment  of  follow-on  equity  offering  proceeds  and  a $16.2 
million (cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3) (cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:3) (cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:49)(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3) (cid:3) (cid:54)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:49)(cid:82)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:28)(cid:15)(cid:3) (cid:179)(cid:39)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:87)(cid:180)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)

Income Tax Benefit (Provision)

In 2020, income tax benefit decreased by $32.7 million compared to the same period in 2019. The effective 
tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was (51.8)% compared to 116.4% in the same period in 
2019. The decrease in our effective tax rate is primarily due to the change in judgment related to the realizability of 
certain deferred tax assets and the resulting valuation allowance.

In 2019, total revenue increased by $28.5 million, or 14%, compared to the same period in 2018, and CPaaS
revenue increased by $33.5 million, or 20%, compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in CPaaS revenue 
was  primarily  attributable  to  an  increase  in  the  usage  of  all  our  service  offerings,  particularly  our  voice  and 
messaging  usage,  which  accounted  for  $34.3  million  of  the  increase  in  CPaaS  revenue,  and  our  phone  number 
services  and  911-enabled  phone  number  services,  which  accounted  for  $8.8  million  of  the  increase  in  CPaaS 
revenue. This increase in CPaaS revenue was partially offset by  $9.6 million related to pricing decreases that we 
have implemented over time with our customers in the form of lower usage prices to increase the reach and scale of 
our platform. The changes in usage and price in 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 were reflected in our 
dollar-based net retention rate of 113%. The increase in usage was also attributable to a 40% increase in the number 
of  active  CPaaS  customer  accounts,  from  1,230  as  of  December  31,  2018  to  1,728  as  of  December  31,  2019.  In
addition,  revenue  from  new  CPaaS  customers  contributed  $11.7  million,  or  7%,  to  CPaaS  revenue  for  2019 
compared to $8.7 million, or 7%, to CPaaS revenue in the same period in 2018. As a percentage of total revenue, 
CPaaS revenue increased from 81% in 2018 to 85% in the same period in 2019.

Other revenue decreased by $5.0 million, or 13%, in 2019 due to lower indirect revenue, which decreased 
by  $2.7  million,  primarily  due  to  the  settlement  of  a  dispute  in  2018.  Other  revenue  also  decreased  due  to  the 
expected decline of legacy revenue, which decreased by $2.3 million, compared to the same period in 2018.

In 2019, total gross profit increased by $11.7 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2018. Total 
gross margin decreased from 47% to 46% during the same period, primarily from a decrease in other gross margin
in 2019 as a result of higher indirect revenue in 2018 due to settlement of a dispute. In 2019, CPaaS cost of revenue
increased  by  $16.0  million,  or  17%,  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2018.  CPaaS  cost  of  revenue  increased 
primarily due to an increase in voice usage costs of net $4.5 million due to growth in minutes used by customers,
partially offset by a decrease in the cost per minute from vendors. Network costs also increased $8.0 million due to 
network expansions and personnel costs. Cost of messaging increased by $2.3 million due to growth in messages 
used by customers. Cost of phone numbers increased by $1.2 million. CPaaS gross margin increased from 43% in 
2018  to  44%  in  2019.  Excluding  depreciation  and  stock-based  compensation  of  $4.6  million  in  2018  and  $6.8 
million in 2019, CPaaS Non-GAAP gross margin was 45% and 48% for 2018 and 2019, respectively, and total Non-
GAAP gross margin was 49% for both periods.

y

In 2019, other cost of revenue increased by $0.8 million compared to the same period in 2018, primarily 
due to a $1.9 million increase in cost of indirect revenue related to messaging surcharges and cost of carrier access 
revenue offset by a $1.1 million decrease as a result of churn in legacy services.

In  2019,  R&D  expenses  related  to  the  expansion  of  our  product  offerings  increased  by  $10.6  million,  or 
51%, compared to the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily due to increased personnel costs of $9.8 
million and non-headcount costs of $0.8 million.

In 2019, sales and marketing expenses increased by $14.3 million, or 69%, compared to the same period in 
2018 primarily due to an overall increase in sales personnel costs of $11.6 million and non-headcount costs of $2.7
million.

In  2019,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  by  $11.3 million,  or  24%,  compared  to  the  same
period in 2018. This increase was due to higher personnel cost  of $4.1 million, facilities expense of $1.6 million, 
hosted software costs of $1.4 million, higher bad debt expense of $1.1 million primarily related to a write-off with a
customer,  professional  expenses  of  $1.0 million,  depreciation  and  amortization  costs  of  $1.0 million,  other  non-
headcount costs of $0.8 million and bank charges and license costs of $0.3 million, which contributed to the overall 
increase in general and administrative expenses.

Interest Income, Net

In  2019,  interest  income  increased  by  $2.1  million  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2018,  due  to  a 
$2.2 million  increase  in  interest  income  from  the  investment  of  follow-on  equity  offering  proceeds  offset  by 
$0.1 million increase in interest expense. 

Income Tax Benefit

In 2019, income tax benefit increased by $6.8 million compared to the same period in 2018. The effective 
tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was 116.4% compared to (154.1)% in the same period in 
2018. The increase in our effective tax rate is primarily due to the change in book income before taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been the proceeds of $74.4 million from our initial public
offering in November 2017, $147.4 million from our follow-on public offering in March 2019 and $344.7 million 
from our issuance of the Convertible Notes in February 2020, each net of underwriting discounts and commissions,
in addition to free cash flow driven by payments received from customers using our services. We believe that our 
cash  and  cash  equivalents  balances,  our  short-term  investments  portfolio,  our  credit  facility  and  the  cash  flows
generated by our operations will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital
expenditures for at least the next 12 months. However, our belief may prove to be incorrect, and we could utilize 
our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy

may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in order to meet these future capital requirements. In the 
event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable 
to  us,  or  at  all.  If  we  are  unable  to  raise  additional  capital  when  desired,  our  business,  results  of  operations  and 
financial condition would be adversely affected.

provided  for  consent  to  accommodate  the  issuance  of  the  Convertible  Notes  and  the  Capped  Calls.  The  waiver 
agreement required us to covenant with the Lenders to deposit an amount of funds into a controlled account, which 
restricted the ability to use such funds until the Credit Facility was paid in full or terminated. If we had failed to
comply with these covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, we would have been in default 
under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, have resulted in that indebtedness becoming immediately payable in 
full. On April 27, 2020, a First Amendment Agreement to the Credit Security Agreement was executed in which the 
Lenders  consented  to  remove  the  previously  existing  cash  collateral  requirement  and  to  terminate  the  previously 
h
required controlled account.

As of December 31, 2020, we had $0 outstanding under the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all 
financial and non-financial covenants for all periods presented. The available borrowing capacity under our Credit 
Facility was $25.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding unamortized loan fees for the Credit Facility were $0.1 million 
and  were  included  in  prepaid  expenses  and  other  current  assets,  and  other  long-term  assets  in  our  consolidated 
balance sheets.

On February 28, 2020, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes in a 
private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, including $50.0
million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  such  Convertible  Notes  pursuant  to  the  exercise  in  full  of  the  initial

(3) Purchase obligations represent total  non-cancelable purchase commitments and future  minimum payments  under

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We  do  not  have  any  holdings  in  variable  interest  entities. With  the  acquisition  of Voxbone,  we  have  off-
balance sheet agreements for short term office and automobile leases in the amount of $1,249 and $24, respectively, 
ending prior to the year ended December 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our  consolidated  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  GAAP.  The  preparation  of  these 
financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, and expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical
experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which 
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent 
from  other  sources. Actual  results  may  differ from  these judgments  and  estimates  under  different  assumptions  or 
conditions and any such differences may be material.

We  believe  the  accounting  policies  discussed  below  are  critical  to  the  process  of  making  significant 
judgments  and  estimates  in  the  preparation  of  our  financial  statements,  and  to  understanding  our  historical  and 
future performance.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue 

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of communication services to enterprise customers. Revenue
mm
omers in an amount that we
d

recognition commences upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to cust
expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. 

The  majority  of  our  revenue  is  generated  from  usage-based  fees  earned  from  customers  accessing  our 
communications platform. Access to the communications platform is considered a series of distinct services, with 
continuous  transfer  of  control  to  the  customer,  comprising  one  performance  obligation.  Usage-based  fees  are 
recognized in revenue in the period the traffic traverses our network.

Revenue from service-based fees, such as the provision and management of phone numbers and emergency 

services access, is recognized on a ratable basis as the service is provided, which is typically one month. 

81 

Management(cid:182)s Discussion and Analysis 

We generally enter into arrangements with customers that are typically 2 to 3 years in length with an auto-
renewal  feature.  When  required  as  part  of  providing  service,  revenues  and  associated  expenses  related  to
nonrefundable,  upfront  service  activation  and  setup  fees  are  deferred  and  recognized  over  the  longer  of  the
associated service contract period or estimated period of benefit. 

Our  arrangements  do  not  contain  general  rights  of  return  or  provide  customers  with  the  right  to  take 
possession of the software supporting the applications. Amounts  that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts
receivable and in revenue or deferred revenue depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. 

n

We  maintain  a  reserve  for  sales  credits.  Credits  are  accounted  for  as  variable  consideration  and  are
estimated based on several inputs including historical experience and current trends of credit issuances. Adjustments
to the reserve are recorded against revenue.

Business Combinations 

We  use  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting  for  business  combinations  which  requires  the  tangible  and 
intangible  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  to  be  recorded  at  their  respective  fair  market  value  as  of  the 
acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets 
acquired. The fair  values of  the  assets acquired and liabilities  assumed  are  determined  based  upon  management's
valuation and involves making significant estimates and assumptions based on facts and circumstances that existed 
as of the acquisition date. We use a measurement period following the acquisition date to gather information that 
existed  as  of  the  acquisition  date  that  is  needed  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities
assumed.  The  measurement  period  ends  once  all  information  is  obtained,  but  no  later  than  one  year  from  the
acquisition date. 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill 

r

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  the  aggregate  fair value  of  consideration  transferred  in  a  business 
combination,  over  the  fair  value  of  assets  acquired,  net  of  liabilities  assumed.  Goodwill  is  not  amortized,  but  is 
subject to an annual impairment test. We test goodwill for impairment annually on December 31 of each calendar 
year  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  business  circumstances  indicate  the  asset  might  be  impaired.
Goodwill  is  tested  for  impairment  at  the  reporting  unit  level.  In  evaluating  the  recoverability  of  goodwill,  we 
perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether events and circumstances exist that indicate that it is more likely 
than  not  that  goodwill  is  impaired.  The  qualitative factors  we  consider  include  but  are  not  limited  to,
macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, company-specific events and changes in circumstances.
We completed our annual goodwill impairment analysis in each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 
2020 and no impairment charges were recorded. As of December 31, 2020 goodwill was $372.2 million which has
been assigned to the CPaaS segment. 

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite lives, are amortized over their estimated useful 

lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise.

We evaluate the  recoverability  of  our long-lived  assets  for impairment  whenever  events  or  circumstances
indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  may  not  be  recoverable.  Recoverability  of  long-lived  assets  are 
measured  by  comparison  of  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  to  the  future  undiscounted  cash  flows  the  asset  is
expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the
difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. As of December 31, 2020, intangible 
assets, net of accumulated amortization, were $248.1 million, which consists primarily of client relationships, client 
contracts and developed technology. No indicators of impairment were identified for the years ended December 31, 
2018, 2019 and 2020.

Internal-Use Software Development Costs

Internal-use  software  includes  software  that  has  been  acquired,  internally  developed,  or  modified 
exclusively to meet the Company's needs. We capitalize qualifying internal-use software development costs that are
incurred during the application development stage. Capitalization of costs begins when two criteria are met: (i) the
preliminary project stage is completed and (ii) it is probable that the software will be completed and used for its 
a
intended function. Capitalization ceases when the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, 
including  the  completion  of  all  significant  testing.  We  also  capitalize  costs  related  to  specific  upgrades  and 
enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality and expense costs incurred 
for  maintenance  and  minor  upgrades  and  enhancements.  Costs  related  to  preliminary  project  activities  and  post-
implementation  operating  activities  are  expensed  as incurred.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  software  development
costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $6.0 million.  

Capitalized costs of platform and other software applications are included in property and equipment. These 
costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software on a straight-line basis over three years, which is
recorded in cost of revenue in the statement of operations. We evaluate the useful life of these assets on an annual 
basis  and  test  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  occur  that  could  impact  the 
recoverability of these assets. 

Income Taxes 

We  account  for  income  taxes  under  the  asset  and  liability  method,  which  requires  the  recognition  of 
deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  for  the  expected  future  tax  consequences  of  events  that  are  included  in  the 
financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences 
between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in
which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 

a

We  reduce  the  measurement  of  a  deferred  tax  asset,  if  necessary,  by  a  valuation  allowance  if  it  is  more
likely than not that we will not realize some or all the deferred tax asset. Quarterly, we review the deferred tax assets 
for recoverability based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the 
reversals of existing temporary differences, the implementation of prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, and 
results  of  recent  operations.  The  evaluation  of  the  recoverability  of  deferred  tax  assets  requires  judgment  in 
assessing future profitability. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, our income tax 
n
provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.

f

We account for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only 
when, based upon technical merits, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. 
The  tax  benefit  recognized  is  measured  as  the  largest  amount  of  benefit  determined  on  a  cumulative  probability 
basis that we believe is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the position. We recognize
potential accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions in income tax expense. 

Other Contingencies

We are subject to legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Periodically, we
evaluate the status of each legal matter and assess our potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any 
legal  proceeding  or  litigation  is  considered  probable  and  the  amount  can  be  reasonably  estimated,  we  accrue  a 
liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability of a loss and whether 
the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The outcome of any proceeding is not determinable in advance. As a 
result,  the  assessment  of  a  potential  liability  and  the  amount  of  any  accruals  recorded  are  based  only  on  the 
information  available  to  us  at  the  time.  As  additional  information  becomes  available,  we  reassess  the  potential 
liability  related  to  the  legal  proceeding  or  litigation,  and  may  revise  our  estimates.  Any  revisions  could  have  a 
material effect on our results of operations.

indirect taxes, and may be subject to certain other taxes and surcharges in some of these jurisdictions. We generally 
bill  and  collect  from  our  customers  these  taxes  and  surcharges.  We  record  a  liability  for  tax  collected  from 
customers, but not yet paid to the appropriate jurisdiction. In addition, we record a provision for non-income based 
taxes  and  fees  in  jurisdictions  where  it  is  both  probable  that  liability  has  been  incurred  and  the  amount  of  the
exposure can  be  reasonably  estimated. As a result,  we  have recorded  a  liability of  $4.7  million,  $5.4  million  and 
$9.1 million as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, included in accrued expenses and other current 
liabilities.  These  estimates  are  based  on  several  key  assumptions,  including  the  taxability  of  our  services,  the
jurisdictions  in  which  we  believe  we  have  nexus  and  the  sourcing  of  revenue  to  those  jurisdictions.  In  the  event 
these  jurisdictions  challenge  our  assumptions  and  analysis,  our  actual  exposure  could  differ  materially  from  our 
current estimates.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

We are exposed to certain 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, to a lesser extent, foreign currency 
rates and inflation. 

Interest Rate Risk 

Our primary exposure to market risk relates to interest rate changes. We had cash and cash equivalents of 
$72.2 million and other investments of $40.0 million as of December 31, 2020, which were held for working capital
purposes.  Our  cash  and  cash  equivalents  are  comprised  primarily  of  interest  bearing  checking  accounts,  money 
market  accounts  and  time  deposits.  Other  investments  consist  of  time  deposits  with  original  stated  maturities  of 
greater than 90 days. 

Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. To date, fluctuations in interest income 
have  not  been  significant.  The  primary  objective  of  our  investment  activities  is  to  preserve  principal  while 
maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative 
purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Due to
the  short-term  nature  of  our  investments,  we  have  not  been  exposed  to,  nor  do  we  anticipate  being  exposed  to, 
material risks due to changes in interest rates.

Our debt is comprised in part of the Credit Facility, which had no amount outstanding as of December 31, 
2020.  Loans  under  the  credit  agreement  governing  the  Credit  Facility  will  bear  interest  at  the  highest  of  (i)  the 
(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:78)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:73)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:24)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:76)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:47)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:78)(cid:3)(cid:50)(cid:73)(cid:73)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:53)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)
plus 1.00 percent. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have 
had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 

aa

In February 2020, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible  Notes. As the
Convertible Notes have a fixed annual interest rate, we have no financial or economic interest exposure associated 
with changes in interest rates. However, the fair value of fixed rate debt instruments fluctuates when interest rates 
change. Additionally, the fair value can be affected when the market price of our common stock fluctuates. We carry 
the Convertible Notes at face value less unamortized discount on our balance sheet, and we present the fair value for 
required disclosure purposes only. 

Foreign Currency Risk 

The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are the respective local currencies of the jurisdictions 
in which they operate, which are primarily the Euro and the British Pound. Approximately 5% of our total revenue
for the year ended December 31, 2020 was generated outside the United States. The majority of our revenues and 
operating  expenses  are  denominated  in  U.S.  dollars,  and  therefore  are  not  currently  subject  to  significant  foreign 
currency risk. Our subsidiaries remeasure monetary assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates, while non-
monetary  items  are  remeasured  at  historical  rates.  Revenue  and  expense  accounts  are  remeasured  at  the  average 
exchange rate in effect during the year. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of our

in  other  income  (expense),  net  in  our  consolidated  statements  of  operations.  We  do  not  currently  engage  in  any 
hedging activity to reduce our potential exposure to currency fluctuations, although we may choose to do so in the
future. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies
result  in  increased  revenue  and  operating  expenses  for  our  non-U.S.  operations.  Similarly,  our  revenue  and 
operating expenses for our non-U.S. operations decrease if the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies. 

85

 
Inflation

We  do  not  believe  inflation  has  had  a  material  effect  on  our  business,  financial  condition  or  results  of 
operations. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to minimize its effects through pricing strategies,
productivity  improvements  and  cost  reductions.  If  our  costs  were  to  become  subject  to  significant  inflationary 
pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do
so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 
December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States)  (PCAOB),  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2020,  based  on

securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and  the 
PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and 
perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material 
misstatement,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud.  Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of 
material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that 
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and 
disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and 
significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the  financial 
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Description of the
Matter

How We Addressed
the Matter in Our
Audit

Revenue Recognition

As  discussed  in  Note  2,  the  Company  recognizes  revenue  from  the  sale  of 
communications  services  offered  through  software  solutions,  which  are  generally 
derived from usage and monthly service fees from both the CPaaS and Other segments.
Usage  revenue  includes  voice  communication  (primarily  driven  by  inbound  minutes,
outbound minutes and toll-free minutes) and messaging communication (driven by the 
number  of  messages)  that  traverse  the  platform  and  network.  Revenue  for  these 
services is recognized in the period the usage occurs. Monthly service fees include the 
provisioning and management of phone numbers and emergency services access, which 
are recognized based on the quantity of phone numbers in service and the quantity of 
phone numbers with emergency services access during the month, respectively. 

The  processing  and  recording  of  revenue  from  voice  and  messaging  data  usage  is 
highly automated and involves capturing and pricing significant volumes of data across
multiple  systems.  Similarly,  the  provisioning  and  management  of  phone  numbers  and 
emergency services access is also highly automated and involves capturing and pricing
the  quantity  of  phone  numbers  in  service  and  the  quantity  of  phone  numbers  with 
emergency  services  access  during  the  month.  Given  the  complex  automated  systems 
utilized  to  capture,  process,  and  ultimately  record  revenue,  performing  procedures  to
audit revenue required a high degree of auditor judgment and extensive audit effort.

We  obtained  an  understanding,  evaluated  the  design,  and  tested  the  operating
effectiveness of controls that address the risks of material misstatement relating to the
measurement  and  occurrence  of  revenue.    This  included  involvement  of  audit 
professionals with significant experience in the use of information technology (IT) to 
support  business  operations  and  related  controls.  With  the  involvement  of  our  IT
professionals,  we identified  the  significant  systems  used to  capture and process  voice
usage, phone number services, emergency services access, and messaging services, and 
tested the IT general controls over those systems, including testing of user access and 
change  management  controls.    In  addition,  our  audit  procedures  included  testing  of 
other  manual  reconciliation  controls  designed  to  determine  the  accuracy  and 
completeness of data processed and transferred across multiple platforms in connection 
with the recognition of revenue for voice and messaging usage, the quantity of phone

estimated purchase consideration of $519.4 million. The acquisition was accounted for 
as  a  business  combination.  The  Company  recorded  intangible  assets  from  this 
acquisition,  including  customer  relationships  and  developed  technology  of  $148.5
million  and  $84.1  million,  respectively.  The  Company  used  the  multi-period  excess 
earning method to estimate the preliminary fair value of the customer relationships and 
the relief from royalty method to estimate the preliminary fair value of the developed

(cid:68)(cid:68)

Auditing  the  Company's  accounting  for  its acquisition  of  Voxbone  was  complex  and 
subjective due to the significant estimation uncertainty in determining the fair value of 
the above identified intangible assets, which was primarily due to the sensitivity of the
respective  fair  values  to  the  underlying  assumptions.  The  fair  value  estimate  of  the
customer  relationships  intangible  asset
included  significant  assumptions  in  the
prospective financial information (including revenue growth) and the discount rate. The
fair  value  estimate  of  the  developed  technology  intangible  asset  included  significant 
assumptions  in  the  prospective  financial  information  (including  revenue  growth  and 
royalty  rate)  and  the  discount  rate.  These  significant  assumptions  for  each  of  the
identified  intangible  assets  are  forward-looking  and  could  be  affected  by  future
economic and market conditions.

We  obtained  an  understanding,  evaluated  the  design  and  tested  the  operating 
effectiveness  of  controls  over  the  accounting  for  the  acquisition.  Our  tests  included 
controls over the estimation process and models to estimate the fair values of the above

valuation methodologies and significant assumptions discussed above.

To test the estimated fair values of the customer relationship and developed technology 
intangible  assets,  we  performed  audit  procedures  that  included,  among  others,
evaluating  the  Company's  selection  of  the  valuation  methodologies,  testing  the
significant  assumptions,  and  testing  the  completeness  and  accuracy  of  the  underlying
data.  For  example,  we  compared  the  significant  assumptions  in  the  prospective
financial information, including the forecasted revenue growth rates, to current industry 
trends,  as  well  as  to  the  historical  performance  of the  acquired  business.  With  the
assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the valuation methodologies, and 
significant  assumptions,  including  royalty  rate  and  discount  rates.  This  included 
understanding  and  validating  the  source  information  underlying  the  determination  of 
the  royalty  rate  and  discount  rates  and  testing  the  mathematical  accuracy  of  the 
calculations. 

In addition, we developed a range of independent estimates for the discount rates using 
publicly  available  market  data  for  comparable  entities  and  comparing  those  to  the 
discount rates selected by management.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on 
the  assessed  risk,  and  performing  such  other  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We 
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Because 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.

Effective  January  1,  2020,  due  to  the  continued  growth  in  customers  and  low  churn  rates,  the  Company 
updated its calculation of the estimated period of benefit for nonrefundable upfront fees from 3 to 4 years. For the
year ended December 31, 2020 the Company reduced total revenue by approximately $1,632 and reduced cost of 
revenue by approximately $859, related to the change in the estimated period of benefit.

Effective  July  1,  2020,  due  to  significant  investment  in  software  during  the  first  half  of  2020  and 
management's  expectation  that  such  investment  would  yield  benefit  for  a  longer  period  of  time,  the  Company 
updated  its  estimated  useful  life  for  internal-use  software  development  from  3  to  4  years.    For  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2020,  the  Company  reduced  cost  of  revenue  by  $314  and  general  and  administrative  expense  by 
$104. 

Revenue Recognition 

Adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ((cid:179)(( ASC(cid:179)
(cid:180)

(cid:180)CC ) 606,

(cid:179)Revenue from Contracts with Customers(cid:180)

On  January  1,  2019,  the  Company  adopted  the  guidance  of  ASC  606, Revenue  from  Contracts  with
Customers, using  the  modified  retrospective  method  applied  to  those  contracts  which  were  not  completed  as  of 
January  1,  2019.  The  Company(cid:182)s  results  for  reporting  periods  beginning  after  January  1,  2019  are  presented  in 
accordance with the provisions under ASC 606 and prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be 
reported in accordance with the Company(cid:182)s revenue recognition policy as further described in Note 2, Summary of 
Significant Accounting Policies, to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

In  connection  with  the  adoption  of  ASC  606,  the  Company  recognized  a  net  increase  to  its  opening 

accumulated deficit of $174 as of January 1, 2019, related to a discount present in one of its contracts.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognized the majority of its revenue based on the usage 
of its customers in the period the traffic traversed the Company(cid:182)s network. The Company determined that ASC 606 
continues to support the recognition of revenue over time for the majority of the Company(cid:182)s contracts due to the 
continuous transfer of control to the customer.

The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change in the Company(cid:182)s accounting for its commission costs, 
which  will  continue  to  be expensed as incurred. The Company  pays  commissions  over time  and  a  corresponding 
requisite substantive service condition exists for the employee to receive the commission. The Company determined 
the timing of the commission payments and the underlying service performed by the employee were commensurate. 

mm

The  impact  on  the  Company(cid:182)s  balance  sheet  presentation  includes  separately  presenting  customer 
refundable prepayments as advanced billings, whereas under ASC 605 these were included in the current portion of 
deferred revenue and advanced billings.

Revenue Recognition Policy 

Revenue recognition commences upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an 

amount that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: 

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

(cid:135)

identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

identification of the performance obligations in the contract; 

determination of the transaction price; 

allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 

recognition of revenue, when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. 

Nature of Products and Services 

mm
Revenue  consists  primarily  of  the  sale  of  communications  services  offered  through  Application 
(cid:51)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:80)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:36)(cid:51)(cid:44)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:87)(cid:90)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)ns to large enterprise, as well as small and medium-sized business,
customers  and  is  generally  derived  from  usage  and  service  fees  in  both  the  CPaaS  and  Other  segments.  Usage 
revenue  includes  voice  communication  (primarily  driven  by  inbound  minutes,  outbound  minutes  and  toll-free 
minutes) and messaging communication (driven by the number of messages) that traverse the platform and network. 
Service fees include the provision and management of phone numbers and emergency services access. 

The  majority  of  the  Company(cid:182)s  revenue  is  generated  from  usage-based  fees  earned  from  customers 
accessing  the  Company(cid:182)s  communications  platform.  Access  to  the  Company(cid:182)s  communication  platform  is 
considered  a  series  of  distinct  services,  with  continuous  transfer  of  control  to  the  customer,  comprising  one 
performance  obligation  and  usage-based  fees  are  recognized  in  revenue  in  the  period  the  traffic  traverses  the 
Company(cid:182)s network. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 the revenue from usage-based fees
represented $105,481, $131,626 and $219,817 of CPaaS revenue, respectively, and $32,524, $29,012 and $40,842 
of Other revenue, respectively. 

nn

Revenue from service fees is recognized on a ratable basis as the service is provided, which is typically one
month. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 the revenue from service fees represented $55,719,
$61,193 and $72,256 of CPaaS revenue, respectively, and $7,174, $5,638 and $4,181 of Other revenue, respectively.

The remaining $3,215, $5,125 and $6,017 of CPaaS revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 

and 2020 respectively, are generated from other miscellaneous services.

arrangements, revenues are allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.
Generally,  standalone  selling  prices  are  determined  based  on  the  prices  charged  to  similar  customers for  similar 
services.

When  required  as  part  of  providing  service,  revenues  and  associated  expenses  related  to  nonrefundable, 
upfront  service  activation  and  setup  fees  are  deferred  and  recognized  over  the  longer  of  the  associated  service
contract period or estimated customer life.

The Company maintains a reserve for sales credits. Credits are accounted for as variable consideration and 
are  estimated  based  on  several  inputs  including  historical  experience  and  current  trends  of  credit  issuances. 
Adjustments to the reserve are recorded against revenue. 

The Company has various sales commission plans for which eligible employees can earn commissions from 
the  sale  of  products  and  services  to  customers.  Eligible  employees  must  be  employed  at  the  time  of  payment  in 
order  to  receive  a  commission.  The  Company  pays  commissions  over  time  and  a  corresponding  requisite
substantive service condition exists for the employee to receive the commission. The Company determined that the 
timing  of  the  commission  payments  and  the  underlying  service  performed  by  the  employee  were  commensurate. 
Accordingly,  sales  commissions  are  generally  expensed  as  incurred.  These  costs  are  recorded  within  sales  and 
marketing expenses.

Revenue is typically recognized in the following month when service is rendered or, in the case of nonrefundable 
upfront fees, over the estimated period of benefit. Customer refundable payments are recorded as advanced billings. 
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $3,599 related to contract liabilities
recorded at the beginning of the year. The Company expects to recognize $6,515 in revenue over the next twelve 
months related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

Cost of Revenue 

CPaaS cost of revenue consists primarily of fees paid to other network service  providers from whom the 
Company  buys  services  such  as  minutes  of  use,  phone  numbers,  messages,  porting  of  customer  numbers,  and 
network circuits. Cost of revenue also contains costs related to the support of the network, web services and cloud 
aa
infrastructure,  capacity  planning  and  management,  rent for  network  facilities,  software  licenses,  hardware  and 
software  maintenance  fees,  and  network  engineering  services.  Personnel  costs  (including  non-cash  stock-based

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with original stated maturities of three months or less 
from  the  date  of purchase as  cash  equivalents  and all  highly  liquid investments with  original stated  maturities  of 
greater  than  three  months  from  the  date  of  purchase  as  current  marketable  securities,  with  the  exception  of  time 
deposits which are classified as other investments. Cash deposits are primarily in financial institutions in the United 
States.    However,  cash for  monthly  operating  costs  of  international operations  are  deposited  in banks  outside  the
nn
United  States.   The  Company  has  a  policy  of  making  investments  only  with  commercial  institutions that  have  at 
least  an  investment  grade  credit  rating.  The  Company  invests  its  cash  primarily  in  government  securities  and 
(cid:82)(cid:69)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:74)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:69)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:83)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:179)(cid:53)(cid:53)(cid:36)(cid:86)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:53)(cid:53)(cid:36)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3)
collateralized  by  deposits  in  the  form  of  Government  Securities  and  Obligations  for  an  amount  not  less 
than 102% of their value. The Company does not record an asset or liability as the Company is not permitted to sell 
or repledge the associated collateral. The Company has a policy that the collateral has at least an (cid:179)(cid:36)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:84)(cid:88)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:12)
credit  rating.  The  Company  utilizes  a  third-party  custodian  to  manage  the  exchange  of  funds  and  ensure  that 
collateral received is maintained at 102% of the value of the RRAs on a daily basis. RRAs with stated maturities of 
greater than three months from the date of purchase are classified as marketable securities. 

Restricted Cash 

Restricted  cash  consists  primarily  of  the  Holdback  remaining  to  be  paid  to  the  Selling  Stockholders  of 
Voxbone, employee withholding tax liability and employee benefits contributions not yet remitted. The Company 
has classified this asset as a short-term asset in order to match the expected period of restriction.

Accounts Receivable and Current Expected Credit Losses 

Accounts  receivable  are  stated  at  realizable  value,  net  of  allowances,  which  includes  an  allowance  for 
doubtful  accounts  and  a  reserve  for  expected  credit  losses.  The  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  is  based  on

The Company includes unbilled receivables in its accounts receivable balance. Generally, these receivables
represent services provided to customers, which will be billed in the next billing cycle. All amounts are considered 
collectible and billable. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, unbilled receivables were $16,200 and 
$27,692, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk 

Financial  instruments  that  are  exposed  to  concentration  of  credit  risk  consist  primarily  of  cash  and  cash 
equivalents, marketable securities, other investments and trade accounts receivable. Cash deposits may be in excess
of  insured  limits.  The  Company  believes  that  the  financial  institutions  that  hold  its  cash  deposits  are  financially 
sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.

With  regard  to  customers,  credit  evaluation  and  account  monitoring  procedures  are  used  to  minimize  the 
risk of loss. The Company believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for by the allowance for 
doubtful accounts are inherent in accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2019, no individual customer represented

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation 

and amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of those assets as follows: 

Computer hardware and software
Internal-use software development costs
Furniture and fixtures
Leasehold improvements

1 to 7 years
4 to 7 years
2 to 5 years
Shorter of the estimated lease term or 4 to 7 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. 

Deferred Costs

The  Company  defers  certain  direct  and  incremental  upfront  costs  related  to  the  generation  of  a  revenue 
stream  or  obtaining  a  new  customer  agreement.  These  costs  include  installment  fees,  activation  and  other 
telecommunication fees. The Company capitalizes these costs and amortizes them over the longer of the term of the
customer contract or the estimated period of benefit, which is approximately four years.

a

Internal-Use Software Development Costs 

Internal-use  software  includes  software  that  has been  acquired,  internally  developed,  or  modified 
(cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:79)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:93)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:84)(cid:88)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:73)(cid:92)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)-use software development 
costs that are incurred during the application development stage. Capitalization of costs begins when two criteria are 
met: (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, and (ii) it is probable that the software will be completed and

used for its intended function. Capitalization ceases when the software is substantially complete and ready for its 
intended  use,  including  the  completion  of  all  significant  testing.  The  Company  also  capitalizes  costs  related  to
specific  upgrades  and  enhancements  when  the  expenditures  will  result  in  additional  functionality,  and  expenses
costs incurred for maintenance and minor upgrades and enhancements. Costs related to preliminary project activities 
and post-implementation operating activities are expensed as incurred. 

Capitalized costs of platform and other software applications are included in property and equipment. These
costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software on a straight-line basis over four to seven years.
Management evaluates the useful life of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or 
changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. 

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company incurred debt issuance costs associated with obtaining  and entering into credit agreements.
These  costs  customarily  include  non-refundable  structuring  fees,  commitment  fees,  up-front  fees  and  syndication 
expenses. The Company has a policy to defer and amortize these costs based on the effective interest method over 
the term of the credit agreements. 

Goodwill

The Company reviews goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually, as of December 31,
for possible impairment. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment at an 
interim date if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the 
reporting  unit  or  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset  below  its  carrying  value.  The  Company  tests  goodwill  at  the
reporting unit level and has determined that it has 2-reporting units, CPaaS and Other. All Goodwill is allocated to
the CPaaS reporting unit. Management may first evaluate qualitative factors to assess if it is more likely than not 
that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and to determine if a two-step impairment test 
is  necessary.  Management  may  choose  to  proceed  directly  to  the  two-step  evaluation,  bypassing  the  initial 
qualitative assessment. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit 
to  its  net  book  value,  including  goodwill.  If  the  carrying  value  exceeds  its  fair  value,  then  the  Company  would 
perform  the  second  step  of  the  goodwill  impairment  test to  determine  the  amount  of  the  impairment  loss.  The
t
impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying value. In 
calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the entity would be allocated to all of the other assets
and liabilities based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of the entity over the amount assigned to other 
assets  and  liabilities  is  the  implied  fair  value  of  goodwill.  An  impairment  loss  would  be  recognized  when  the
carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

value.  If  these  estimates  or  related  assumptions  change  in  the  future, the  Company  may  be  required  to  record  an 
impairment  charge.  As  of  December  31,  2019  and  2020,  the  Company  has  recorded  goodwill  of  $6,867  and 
$372,239,  respectively.  No  goodwill  impairment  charges  were  recorded  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,
2019 and 2020.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including property and equipment and definite lived intangible 
assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset 
may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount 
of an asset or an asset group to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset 
or  asset  group.  If  such  evaluation  indicates  that  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  or  the  asset  group  is  not 
recoverable, any impairment loss would be equal to the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

Business Combinations

The  Company  uses  the  acquisition  method  of  accounting  for  business  combinations  which  requires  the 
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their respective fair market value as
of the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net 
assets  acquired.  The  fair  values  of  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  are  determined  based  upon  the 
(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:89)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:89)(cid:82)(cid:79)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:78)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:86)ignificant estimates and assumptions based on facts and circumstances
that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company uses a measurement period following the acquisition date to
gather  information  that  existed  as  of  the  acquisition  date that  is  needed  to  determine  the  fair  value  of  the  assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement period ends once all information is obtained, but no later than 
one year from the acquisition date. 

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $953, $1,528 and $1,617 for 
the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2019  and  2020,  respectively,  which  are  included  in  sales  and  marketing 
expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Commissions 

Commissions  consist  of  variable  compensation  earned  by  sales  personnel  and  third-party  resellers.  Sales
commissions  associated  with  the  acquisition  of  a  new  customer  contract  are  paid  over  time,  based  on  monthly
revenues, and are recognized as sales and marketing expense in the period incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense related to all stock-based awards based on 
the  fair  value  of  the  award  on  the  grant  date.  Stock-based  compensation  expense  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line
basis over the requisite service period, which is generally four years. The fair value of the restricted stock units is
(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:89)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:88)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:80)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:70)(cid:78)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:88)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:86)
the Black-Scholes option pricing model, net of estimated forfeitures, to measure the fair value of its stock options. 

(cid:81)

ff

The Company has elected to estimate expected forfeitures, and, as such, the Company must also determine
a forfeiture rate to calculate the stock-based compensation for awards. Through December 31, 2020, the Company
recognized compensation for only the portion of options expected to vest using an estimated forfeiture rate that was
derived from historical employee termination behavior. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option 
f
pricing  model  change,  stock-based  compensation  for  future  options  may  differ  materially  compared  to  that 
associated with previous grants.

d

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred 
tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  determined  based  on  temporary  differences  between  the  financial  statement  and  tax 
basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. The Company recognizes the effect of a change in tax rates on 
deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period that includes the enactment date.

mm

The Company reduces the measurement of a deferred tax asset, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is 
more likely than not that it will not realize some or all the deferred tax asset. Quarterly, the Company reviews the
deferred  tax  assets  for  recoverability based  on  historical  taxable  income, 
projected  future  taxable  income,  the 
y
expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of prudent and feasible
tax  planning  strategies.  The  evaluation  of  the  recoverability  of  deferred  tax  assets  requires  judgment  in 
assessing future profitability. Should there be a change in the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Co(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)
income tax provision would increase or decrease in the period in which the assessment is changed.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax 
position only when, based upon technical merits, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon 
examination. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit determined on a cumulative 
probability basis that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the 
position.  The  Company  recognizes  potential  accrued  interest  and  penalties  associated  with  unrecognized  tax
positions in income tax expense.

and  gross  profit. The  Company  does  not analyze  discrete segment  balance  sheet  information related  to  long-term 
assets. All other financial information is evaluated on a consolidated basis.

Earnings per Share

Basic  earnings  per  share  attributable  to  common  stockholders  is  calculated  by  dividing  the  net  income
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for 
the period. 

Diluted net income per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock when 
determining the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. For purposes of the diluted net income 
(loss) per share calculation, options and warrants to purchase common stock and redeemable convertible preferred 
stock are considered to be potential common stock. 

Historically,  the  Company  issued  securities  other  than  common  stock  that  participated  in  dividends

the functional currencies for the (cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:17)

All  of the assets and liabilities  of  these subsidiaries  are  converted to  U.S.  dollars  at the  exchange  rate  in

consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded $0, $9, $32 in related gains during the years ended 
December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The  carrying  amounts  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents, marketable  securities,  accounts  receivable,  accounts 
payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 because of 
the  relatively  short  duration  of  these  instruments.  Marketable  securities  consist  of  U.S.  treasury  securities  not 
otherwise  classified  as  cash  equivalents. All  marketable  securities  are  considered  to  be  available-for-sale  and  are 
recorded at their estimated fair values. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are recorded in 
a
other comprehensive (loss) income. 

The  Company  minimizes  its  credit  risk  associated  with  investments  by  investing  primarily  in  investment 
grade, liquid securities. The Company policy is designed to preserve capital, maintain liquidity and minimize credit 
risk,  and  the  policy  limits  exposure  to  any  one  issuer  and  also  establishes  minimum  credit  ratings  of  approved 
investments.    Periodic  evaluations  of  relative  credit  standing  of  those  issuers  are  considered  in  the  Company's 
investment strategy. 

The  Company  uses  a  three-tier  fair  value  hierarchy  to  classify  and  disclose  all  assets  and  liabilities
measured  at  fair  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 use of observable inputs 
when  available,  and  to  minimize  the  use  of  unobservable  inputs  when  determining  fair value. The  three tiers  are
defined as follows: 

r

(cid:135) Level 1. Observable  inputs  based  on  unadjusted  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or 

liabilities;

(cid:135) Level 2. Inputs,  other  than  quoted  prices  in  active  markets,  that  are  observable  either  directly  or 

indirectly; and

(cid:135) Level 3. Unobservable  inputs  for  which  there  is  little  or  no  market  data,  which  requires  the  Company  to 

develop its own assumptions.

Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. This 
standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a 
service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-
use  software.  ASU  2018-15  is  effective  for  interim  and  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,
2019. As a result of the Company(cid:182)s prospective adoption of this standard, the Company capitalized implementation

In  August  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2018-13,  Fair  Value  Measurement  (Topic  820):  Disclosure 
Framework  –  Changes  to  the  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Fair  Value  Measurement,
which  eliminates  certain 
disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new 
information and modifies some disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting 
periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this 
standard did not have a material impact on the Company(cid:182)s financial statements. 

In  January  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2017-04, Simplifying  the  Test  for  Goodwill  Impairment, which

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit 
Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model 
uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for 
losses.  In  November  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2018-19, Codification  Improvements  to  Topic  326,  Financial 
Instruments – Credit Losses
, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope 
–
of  Topic  326,  Financial  Instruments  (cid:177)  Credit  Losses.  Instead,  impairment  of  receivables  arising  from  operating 
leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04,
Codification  Improvements  to  Topic  326,  Financial  Instruments—Credit  Losses,  Topic  815,  Derivatives  and 
Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which clarifies how to apply certain aspects of the new credit losses 
standard.  In  November  2019,  the  FASB  issued ASU  2019-10, Financial  Instruments—Credit  Losses  (Topic  326), 
Derivatives  and  Hedging  (Topic  815),  and  Leases  (Topic  842):  Effective  Dates,  which  amends  certain  effective
dates for the new standard. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 
326,  Financial  Instruments—Credit  Losses,  which  clarifies  how  to  apply  certain  aspects  of  the  new  credit  losses 
standard. The accounting standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. 
The  Company  adopted  this  standard  for  financial  assets  measured  at  amortized  cost,  including  trade  receivables.
Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period 
amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The adoption of this standard did

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements, which is intended to address 
suggestions  received  from  stakeholders  on  the Accounting Standards  Codification  and  to  make  other  incremental
improvements to GAAP. The FASB's intentions for this update is to clarify the codification or correct unintended 
application  of  guidance  and  is  not  expected  to  result  in  a  significant  change  in  practice.  Amendments  include 
n
removal of certain references in concept statements, simplification to wording, and the addition of all disclosure-
related guidance in the disclosure sections of the codification. The amendments in this update do not change GAAP
and transition guidance is primarily for entities that may have applied guidance being amended in an inconsistent 
manner.  This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, for public business entities.
The Company is evaluating the effect of this update on its financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which is intended to
address  issues  identified  as  a  result  of  the  complexity  associated  with  applying  GAAP  for  certain  financial 
instruments  with  characteristics  of  liabilities  and  equity.  For  convertible  instruments,  ASU  2020-06  reduces  the 
number  of  accounting  models  for  convertible  debt  instruments  and  convertible  preferred  stock,  and  enhances 
information  transparency  by  making  targeted  improvements  to  the  disclosures  for  convertible  instruments  and 
earnings-per-share  (EPS)  guidance  on  the  basis  of  feedback  from  financial  statement  users.  ASU  2020-06  is
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. Early 
adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods 
within  those  fiscal  years. The  Company  is  evaluating  the effect  of  adopting  this  new  accounting  guidance  on  its 
financial statements but does not intend to early adopt. 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting 
for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-
12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance 
to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal 
years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The
Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, but does not expect adoption will have 
a material impact on its financial statements.

For purposes of accounting for the acquisition, the Company was determined to be the accounting acquirer. 
The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting with respect to the identifiable assets and liabilities of 
Voxbone,  which  have  been  measured  at  their  estimated  fair value  as  of  the  date  of  the  business  combination.

trends,  margin  and  revenue  growth  assumptions,  royalty  rate,  customer  attrition  rates,  market  comparables,  and 
others,  as  applicable.  Inputs  used  were  generally  obtained  from  historical  data,  supplemented  by  current  and 
anticipated market conditions and growth rates.

The  following  table  summarizes  the  preliminary  allocation  of  purchase  price  to  the  identifiable  assets

net assets recorded as goodwill. Due to the timing and the magnitude of the transaction and the multi-jurisdictional
nature  of  the  net  assets  acquired,  initial  accounting  for  the  acquisition  is  not  complete,  and  further  measurement 
period  adjustments  may  occur  in  fiscal  year  2021. The  Company  has  estimated  the  preliminary  fair  value  of  net 
a
assets acquired  based on  information  currently  available  and  will  continue to  adjust  those  estimates  as additional 
information becomes available, including the refinement of market participant assumptions and finalization of tax 
f
returns  in  the  pre-acquisition  period. The  Company  will  reflect  measurement  period  adjustments  in  the  period  in 
which the adjustments are determined.

The aggregate purchase consideration has been preliminarily allocated as follows:

Developed technology represents certain proprietary technology that Voxbone uses to deliver its services.
Preliminary fair values were determined using a relief from royalty methodology, which estimates the cost savings
generated  by  a  company  based  upon  the  ownership  of  an  asset  for  which  it  would  otherwise  have  had  to  pay 
royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The discount rate used was determined at 
the  time  of  measurement  based  on  an  analysis  of  the  implied  internal  rate  of  return  of  the  transaction,  weighted 
average cost of capital and weighted average return on assets.  The economic useful life was determined based on 
the technology cycle related to each developed technology, as well as the cash flows over the forecast period. 

r
Customer  relationships  represent  the  preliminary  fair  value  of  existing  relationships  with  the  Voxbone
customers.  The  preliminary  fair  value  of  customer  relationships  was  determined  using  the  Multi-Period  Excess 
Earning  Method,  which  involves  isolating  the  net  earnings  attributable  to  the  asset  being  measured  based  on  the 
present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows (excess earnings) attributable solely to the intangible asset over 
its remaining useful life. The valuation includes the valuation of the assembled workforce, using the Cost Approach, 
for  purposes  of  calculating  contributory  asset  charges  to  be  used  in  the  Multi-Period  Excess  Earning  Method 
valuations. The economic useful life was determined based on historical customer attrition rates.

The Company believes that the amounts of purchased intangible assets recorded represent the preliminary 
fair  values  of  and  approximates  the  amounts  a  market  participant  would  pay  for  these  intangible  assets  as  of  the 
acquisition date. 

The fair value of accounts receivables acquired is $5,873, with the gross contractual amount being $6,453. 

The Company expects $580 to be uncollectible.

Goodwill 

r
The excess of the consideration for the acquisition over the preliminary fair value of net assets acquired was 
recorded  as  goodwill.  The  estimated  goodwill  recognized  is  attributable  primarily  to  expected  synergies  and 
(cid:72)(cid:91)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:78)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:3) (cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:88)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:73)(cid:85)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:3) (cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:90)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3) (cid:57)(cid:82)(cid:91)(cid:69)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:17)(cid:3) (cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:74)(cid:82)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:90)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:79)
created in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes and is subject to revision as the purchase 
price  allocation  is  completed.  Goodwill  arising  from  the acquisition  has  been  allocated  to  the  CPaaS  reporting
segment. 

Transaction Costs

The  Company  recognized  $14,458  of  acquisition  related  costs  that  were  expensed  in  the  current  period. 
These costs consist of mainly fees for financial and legal services, due diligence services, success fees, and net loss 
on foreign currency exchange directly associated with cash payments in foreign currencies as instructed by SPA of 
h
which $12,675 is included in general and administrative expenses and $1,783 is included in other income (expense),
net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Unaudited Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the combined results of operations for 
the Company and Voxbone as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2019. The pro forma results have
been  prepared  for  comparative  purposes  only,  and  do  not  necessarily  represent  what  the  revenue  or  results  of 
operations would have been had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2019. In addition, these results are
not intended to be a projection of future operating results and do not reflect synergies that might be achieved. 

The unaudited  pro  forma  information  includes  adjustments  for the  preliminary  purchase  price  accounting 
impact (including, but not limited to, amortization for intangible assets, the purchase accounting effect on deferred 
revenue, transaction costs and related tax impacts) and the alignment of accounting policies.  The pro forma results
for the period ending December 31, 2020 also include the non-recurring transaction costs totaling $14,458.

is considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of 
financial  instruments  within  the  fair  value  hierarchy. Changes  in  economic  conditions  or  model-based  valuation 
techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, 
the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3
during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020. 

The money market account is included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets as of 

December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020. 

During  the  December  31,  2018,  2019  and  2020  there  were  $18,000,  $69,000  and  $0  in  maturities  of 

marketable securities, respectively.

There were no sales of marketable securities for the years ended December 31, 2018  and 2020. Proceeds 
and gross realized gains from sales of marketable securities were $17,467 and $4, respectively for the year ended 
December 31, 2019. The cost of the securities sold was based on the specific identification method and the gross 
realized gain is recorded as other income, net, in the consolidated statements of operations. 

Interest earned on marketable securities was $77, $6, and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 
and  2020  respectively,  and  is  recorded  within  other  income  (expense),  net  in  the  accompanying  consolidated 
statements of operations.

arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the
present  value  of  lease  payments  over  the  lease  term.  Operating  lease  expense  attributable  to  lease  payments  is
recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  lease  term  and  is  included  in  cost  of  sales  and  selling,  general,  and 
administrative  expense  on  our  consolidated  statement  of  operations.  Finance  leases  result  in  the  recognition  of 
depreciation  expense,  which  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  expected  life  of  the  leased  asset,  and 
interest expense, which is recognized following an effective interest rate method. Depreciation expense attributable
to finance leases is included in cost of sales on our consolidated statement of operations. The Company presents the 
operating leases in long-term assets and current and long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance 
sheet as of December 31, 2020. Finance leases are reported in property and equipment, net, accrued expenses and 
other current liabilities, and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has an obligation to return one of its leased properties to its original leased condition. These
cost are accrued at the present value of expected cost to settle the obligation using estimated cash flows. The cash 
flows are discounted at a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risk specific to the retirement liability. The estimated 
future  cost  of  restoration  is  reviewed  annually  and  adjusted  as  appropriate.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  asset

less  accumulated  amortization.  Amortization  begins  once  the  project  is  substantially  complete  and  ready  for  its 
intended use. The Company amortizes the asset on a straight-line basis over the useful life, which is estimated to be
4  years.  Costs  incurred  prior  to  the  application  development  stage,  maintenance  activities  or  minor  upgrades  are
expensed in the period incurred. Unamortized software development costs were approximately $5,746 and $5,957
as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. 

The  Company  capitalized  $2,028,  $3,612  and  $2,319  of  software  development  costs  for  the  years  ended 

December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. 

Amortization expense related to capitalized software development costs were $1,482, $2,024, and $1,963 

for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020, unamortized implementation costs related to cloud computing arrangements are 
$572, of which $144 are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $429 are included in other long-

as of December 31, 2019. 

The  Company  recognized  an  impairment  of  $158,  $275,  and  $227  during  the  years  ended  December  31, 
2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, related to capitalized software development costs that provided no future benefit 
and  therefore  were  impaired. This  expense  is  reflected  within  cost  of  revenue  in  the  accompanying  consolidated

Lenders to deposit an amount of funds into a controlled account, which restricted the ability to use such funds until 
the Credit Facility was paid in full or terminated. If the Company had failed to comply with these covenants or to 
make payments under its indebtedness when due, the Company would have been in default under that indebtedness, 
which could, in turn, have resulted in that indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.  On April 27, 2020, 
the First Amendment Agreement to the Credit Security Agreement was executed in which the Lenders consented to
remove the cash collateral requirement and to terminate the controlled account.

on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2020.

The Convertible Notes may bear special interest under specified circumstances relating to the Company's 
failure  to  comply  with  its  reporting  obligations  under  the  indenture  governing  the  Convertible  Notes  (the 
(cid:179)(cid:44)(cid:81)(cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:180)) or if the Convertible Notes are not freely tradeable as required by the Indenture. The Convertible Notes 
will mature on March 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed by the Company, or converted pursuant to their 
terms. The total net proceeds from the Convertible Notes, after deducting initial purchaser discounts, costs related to
the Capped Calls, and debt issuance costs, paid by the Company, were approximately $344,722.

Each  $1  principal  amount  of  the  Convertible  Notes  is  initially  convertible  into  10.9857  shares  of  the
Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of 
approximately  $91.03  per  share.  The  conversion  rate  is  subject  to  adjustment  upon  the  occurrence  of  certain 
specified  events  but  will  not  be  adjusted  for  any  accrued  and  unpaid  special  interest.  In  addition,  upon  the 
occurrence  of  a  make-whole  fundamental  change,  as  defined  in  the  indenture,  the  Company  will,  in  certain 
circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its
Convertible  Notes  in  connection  with  such  make-whole  fundamental  change  or  during  the  relevant  redemption 
period. 

The Convertible Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part at the Company's option on or after March 6,
2023, but before the 40th scheduled trading day before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% 
of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if the last 
reported sale price of the Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at
least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including,
the  trading  day  immediately  before  the  date  the  redemption  notices  were  sent;  and  the  trading  day  immediately 
before such notices were sent.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Prior  to  the  close  of  business  on  the  business  day  immediately  preceding  September 1,  2025,  the

Convertible Notes may be convertible at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances: 

(1)

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2020 
(and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price per share of the Company's Class A 
common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not 
consecutive,  during  the  30  consecutive  trading  days  ending  on,  and including,  the  last  trading  day  of  the 
immediately preceding calendar quarter;

during the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day 
(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:11)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:68)(cid:92)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:179)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:86)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:180)(cid:12)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:75)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:85)(cid:68)(cid:71)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:3)
$1  principal  amount  of  Convertible  Notes  for  each  trading  day  of  the  measurement  period  was  less  than 
98%  of  the  product  of the last  reported  sale  price  per  share  of  the  Company's  Class A  common  stock  on 
such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day;

stock; and 

upon  the  occurrence  of  certain  corporate  events  or  distributions  on  its  Class A  common 

(4)

if the Company calls such Convertible Notes for redemption. 

On or after September 1, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately 
preceding the maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes may, at their option, convert all or a portion of their 
Convertible Notes regardless of the foregoing conditions. 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the conditional conversion feature of the Notes was triggered as 
the  last  reported  sale  price  of  the  Company's  Class  A  common  stock  was  more  than  or  equal  to  130%  of  the
conversion price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading
days ending on or after June 30, 2020 (the last trading day of the calendar quarter), and therefore the Notes were
convertible,  in  whole  or  in  part,  at  the  option  of  the  holders  between  July  1,  2020  through  December  31,  2020. 
Whether  the  Notes  will  be  convertible  following  such  period  will  depend  on  the  continued  satisfaction  of  this 
condition or another conversion condition in the future. The Company continues to classify the Notes as a long-term
liability in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, based on contractual settlement provisions. 

Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A common
stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company's election. It is the Company's 
current intent to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes with cash. 

No sinking fund is provided for the Convertible Notes. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as 
defined in the indenture) prior to the maturity date, holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion 
of  the  Convertible  Notes  for  cash  at  a  price  equal  to  the  principal  amount  of  the  Convertible  Notes  to  be
repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. 

The  Convertible  Notes  are  the  senior,  unsecured  obligations  of  the  Company  and  are  equal  in  right  of

In accounting for the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company separated the Convertible Notes into
liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the
fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of 
the equity component representing the conversion option was $125,152 and was determined by deducting the fair

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

value  of  the  liability  component  from  the  par  value  of  the  Convertible  Notes. The  difference  represents  the  debt 
discount that is amortized to interest expense at an effective interest rate of 6.763% over the term of the Convertible
Notes. The carrying amount of the equity component was $57,485 and is recorded in additional paid-in-capital. The 
equity  component  is  not  remeasured  as  long  as  it  continues  to  meet  the  conditions  for  equity  classification.  The
nn
excess  of  the  principal  amount  of  the  liability  component  over  its  carrying  amount,  or  the  debt  discount,  is
amortized  to  interest  expense  at  an  annual  effective  interest  rate  of  6.907%  over  the  contractual  terms  of  the 
Convertible Notes. 

In  accounting  for  the  transaction  costs  related  to  the  Convertible  Notes,  the  Company  allocated  the  total
amount  incurred  to  the  liability  and  equity  components  of the  Convertible  Notes  based  on  the  proportion  of  the
proceeds allocated to the debt and equity components. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component were

The  compensation  expense  related  to  these  awards  is  based  on  the  grant  date  fair  value  of  the  RSUs  and  is 
recognized on a ratable basis over the applicable service period. The Company granted RSUs to its non-employee
Board  of  Directors,  some  of  which  vested  immediately  while  others  vest  25%  as  of  each  calendar  quarter 
immediately following the grant date. Certain RSUs awarded to executives vest over four years with 50% vesting in 
the first year in 12.5% increments on each calendar quarter immediately following the grant date and the remaining 
50% earned over years two, three and four. Other RSUs awarded to executives and employees generally are earned 
over a service period of four years.

Legal Matters 

The Company is involved as a defendant in various lawsuits alleging that the Company failed to bill, collect 
and remit certain taxes and surcharges associated with the provision of 911 services pursuant to applicable laws in 
various jurisdictions.

While  the  results  of  these  legal  proceedings  cannot  be  predicted  with  certainty,  in  the  opinion  of 
management,  the  ultimate  resolution  of  these  matters  will  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect  o(cid:81)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)

14. Employee Benefit Plan 

The Company sponsors a U.S. defined contribution 401(k), which allows eligible U.S.-based employees to 
defer a portion of their compensation. The Company, at its discretion, may make matching contributions. With the
acquisition  of  Voxbone  S.A.  on  November  1,  2020,  the  Company  assumed  sponsorship  for  their  U.S.  defined 
contribution 401(k).  The Company also assumed sponsorship for a non-U.S. defined contribution plan for which 
they pay fixed contributions into a separate entity.  The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay 
further  contributions  if  the  fund  does  not  hold  sufficient  assets  to  pay  all  employees  the  benefits  relating  to
employee  service  in  the  current  or  prior  periods.  The  contributions  are  recognized  as  employee  benefit  expense 
when they are due. The Company made matching contributions for the defined contribution plans of $1,117, $1,731,
uu
and $2,202 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

t

In addition, as a result of the acquisition of Voxbone S.A., the Company assumed sponsorship for their non-
U.S.  defined  benefit  pension  plans.   The  liability  recognized  in  the  balance  sheet  in  respect  to  these  plans  is  the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of the plan assets. 
The  defined  benefit  obligation  is  calculated  annually  by  an  independent  actuary  using  the  Projected  Unit  Credit 
Method. 

The following table summarizes information for the pension plans:

The present value of 
the  defined  benefit  obligation  depends  on  a  number  of  factors  that  are  determined  on  an  actuarial  basis  using  a 
number  of  assumptions.   Any  change  in  these  assumptions will  impact  the  present  value  of  the  defined  benefit 
obligation.

The Company determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that 
should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the 
uu
pension obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Company considers the interest rates of high-
quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms
to  maturity  approximating  the  terms  of  the  related  obligation. The  other  assumptions  for  pension  obligations  are 
based in part on market conditions.

The Compan(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:81)(cid:82)(cid:81)-U.S. defined benefit plans are insured by a third party.  The investments are governed 

by the insurer, who oversees all investment decisions. The insurance contracts are classified as Level 2 because a 
portion of the underlying funds are valued using significant other observable inputs. The insurance contracts provide 
for a guaranteed interest credit and a profit-sharing adjustment based on the actual performance of the underlying 
investment assets of the insurer. The fair value of the contract is determined by the insurer based on the premiums 
paid by the Company plus interest credits plus the profit-sharing adjustment less benefit payments. 

The major categories of plan assets are as follows:

other  taxes,  including  tax  liabilities  and  benefits,  attributes,  returns  and  contests.  There  were  no  amounts
outstanding or payable under this agreement as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020.

The Master Services Agreement specifies certain wholesale telecommunications services to be provided by 
the Company. The agreement is cancellable at any time by either party. The Company provided telecommunication 
y
services  to  Republic  of  $3,884,  $2,602,  and  $2,180  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2018,  2019  and  2020 
respectively. The  Company  recognized such amounts as  revenue  in  the  accompanying  consolidated statements  of 
operations. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a receivable of $161 and $170,
respectively, under the Master Services Agreement.

On March 1, 2019, an amendment to the current Master Services Agreement was executed. Pursuant to the 
terms of the new agreement, Republic receives reduced pricing on its messaging services, effective April 1, 2019. 
All  other  terms  and  conditions  of  the  existing  agreement  remain.  On  June  20, 2019,  Republic  executed  a  further 
amendment  to  the  current  Master  Services  Agreement.  Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  June  20,  2019  amendment, 
Republic receives reduced pricing on its outbound voice services effective on June 20, 2019. Republic also executed 
a revenue commitment schedule on June 20, 2019. Pursuant to the revenue commitment schedule, Republic agreed 
to  spend  a  minimum  of  $100  per  month  during  the  11-month  period  commencing  July  1,  2019  through  May  31,
2020.  There are no minimum commitments beyond May 31, 2020. 

Subsequent to the  expiration  of the 180-day  IPO  blackout  window  on  May  9,  2018,  Republic  employees 
that  held  Bandwidth  stock  options  began  exercising  their  options.  Upon  exercise,  Bandwidth  withholds  the 
employee tax amounts due from the proceeds. Bandwidth had collected on behalf of, and remitted withholding tax 
to, Republic of $9,213, $1,781, and $1,401 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively. As
of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no amounts were due to Republic. 

On  September 30,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  a  services  agreement  with  Republic.  Pursuant  to  the 
(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:90)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:15)(cid:3) (cid:53)(cid:72)(cid:83)(cid:88)(cid:69)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:3) (cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:86)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:89)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:72)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3) (cid:69)(cid:92)(cid:3) (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:38)(cid:82)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:92)(cid:182)(cid:86)(cid:3) (cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:74)(cid:68)(cid:79)(cid:3) (cid:71)(cid:72)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:87)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:15)(cid:3) (cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:73)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:3)
September 30, 2019. The Company is compensated by Republic for these services based on costs incurred by the 
Company.  The  Company  received  net  compensation  under  this  agreement  of  $31  and  $69  for  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2019  and  2020,  respectively,  which  is  included  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  in  the 
consolidated  statements  of  operations.  As  of  December  31,  2019  and  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  had  a 
receivable of $10 and $2 under this agreement, respectively.

17. Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) per Common Share  

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of 
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by giving
effect to all potential shares of common stock, including stock options and stock related to unvested restricted stock 
awards.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our  management,  with  the  participation  of  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  our  Chief  Financial  Officer,
have  evaluated  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  under  the
Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this  Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, 
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered 
by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance 
level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that 
we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods 
specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, 
including  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial Officer,  as  appropriate,  to  allow  timely  decisions 
regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with 
the  participation  of  our  management,  including  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer,  we 
conducted  an  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31, 
2020 based on the guidelines established in the Internal Control(cid:178)Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued 
by  the  Committee of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of the Treadway  Commission. Our  internal control  over  financial 
reporting  includes  policies  and  procedures  that  provide reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial
reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  reporting  purposes  in  accordance  with  GAAP. 
Based on the results of our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting 
was effective as of December 31, 2020.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited 
by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which is included in 
Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting 

There  were  no  changes  in  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  identified  in  connection  with  the 
evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended December 31,
2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial 
reporting.

Inherent limitation on the effectiveness of internal control

The  effectiveness  of  any  system  of  internal  control over  financial  reporting,  including  ours,  is  subject  to 
inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the
controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal
control  over  financial  reporting,  including  ours,  no  matter  how  well  designed  and  operated,  can  only  provide 
reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, 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.  We  intend  to  continue  to  monitor  and  upgrade  our 

141

 
internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be
sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
