The Company’s headquarters and principal place of business is in San Ramon, California.
The following is a summary of critical accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A full description of our significant accounting policies is provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly owned or controlled. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company provides services to its customers utilizing its own personnel as well as personnel from subcontractors. One of the subcontractors (the “Affiliate”) exclusively supports and performs services on behalf of the Company and its customers. The Company had no ownership in the Affiliate as of June 30, 2025. The Company is required to apply accounting standards which address how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) through means other than voting rights and accordingly should determine whether or not to consolidate the entity. The Company has determined that it is required to consolidate the Affiliate because the Company has the power to direct the VIE’s most significant activities and is the primary beneficiary of the Affiliate. The assets and liabilities of the Affiliate primarily consist of inter-company balances and transactions all of which have been eliminated in consolidation. There was minimal activity in the Affiliate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material. Significant estimates include determination of fair value, useful lives and recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, valuation of stock-based compensation and contingent consideration payable, determination of provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and uncertain tax positions.
Allowance for credit losses
The Company maintains an allowance against accounts receivable for the estimated probable losses on uncollectible accounts. The allowance is based upon historical loss experience, as adjusted for the current market conditions and forecasts about future economic conditions. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $3.3 million and $2.7 million of allowance for credit losses, respectively.
Prior period reclassifications
Certain amounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”), in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company will adopt these changes according to the various timetables the FASB specifies.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands annual disclosure requirements around income taxes primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s 2025 annual reporting period and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statements of income. Additionally, this amendment requires the disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and the disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s 2027 annual periods and its interim periods beginning in 2028, with early adoption permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is in the process of assessing the timing of adoption and the impact the ASU will have on its financial statement disclosures.
