Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seeks,” “aims,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include, without limitation, statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, assumptions or current expectations concerning, among other things, our financial position; results of operations; industry outlook; and growth strategies or expectations.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes, including, without limitation, the outcome of our proposed merger with Neptune BidCo US Inc., actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the market in which we operate, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and the development of the market in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. A number of important factors, including, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (our “Annual Report”) could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation:

●

the risk that the Merger (as defined below) may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect our business and the price of our common stock;

●

the timing to consummate the Merger, or the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement (as defined below), including circumstances requiring a party to pay the other party a termination fee pursuant to the Merger Agreement;

●

the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated thereby;

●

the risk that a governmental or regulatory approval that may be required for the Merger is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated;

●

the effect of the pendency of the Merger on our business relationships, operating results and business generally;

●

certain restrictions during the pendency of the Merger that may impact our ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions;

●

risks that the Merger disrupts current plans and operations;

●

risks related to diverting management’s attention from our ongoing business operations;

●

the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties to the Merger Agreement or their respective directors, managers or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto;

●

our ability to retain, hire and integrate skilled personnel, and maintain relationships with key business partners and customers, and others with whom we do business, in light of the proposed Merger;

●

unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the Merger;

●

risks that the benefits of the Merger are not realized when and as expected;

●

our ability to respond to technological developments, evolving industry standards or shifting advertiser preference, which may make our solutions obsolete or less competitive;

●

our ability to compete in our highly competitive market;

●

our ability to retain existing customers, obtain new customers and generate revenue from new customers;

●

system failures, security breaches, cyberattacks or other unforeseen events that could interrupt the operation of our platform and data centers;

●

our use of artificial intelligence and machine learning models;

●

our reliance on demand- and supply-side advertising platforms, ad servers and social platforms to accept and integrate with our technology;

●

economic downturns and unstable market conditions;

●

our ability to integrate businesses acquired;

●

acquired businesses may disrupt our business, expose us to unanticipated liabilities, dilute stockholder value or divert management attention;

●

our ability to accurately and timely collect payments from our customers and integration partners;

●

defects, errors or inaccuracies associated with our solutions;

●

our long sales cycles, which can result in significant time between initial contact with a prospect and execution of a contractual agreement, making it difficult to project when, if at all, we will generate revenue from new customers;

●

our ability to retain our management team and other key personnel and to hire additional qualified personnel;

●

scrutiny of our corporate social responsibility practices and meeting stakeholders’ evolving expectations relating to such practices;

●

the application, interpretation, and enforcement of data privacy legislation and regulation on digital advertising and privacy and data protection;

Table of Contents

●

the impact of public criticism of digital advertising technology on our business, including digital advertising on social media platforms;

●

the assertion of third-party intellectual property rights against us and our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights;

●

our ability to manage our business and conduct our operations internationally;

●

our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

●

our use of “open source” software could subject our technology to general release, require us to re-engineer our platform or subject us to litigation;

●

seasonal fluctuations in advertising activity;

●

our ability to sustain historical growth rates;

●

adverse developments in the tax laws and regulations, or disagreements with our tax positions, in the multiple jurisdictions in which we are subject to taxation;

●

adverse developments affecting financial institutions;

●

our estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate;

●

impairment of goodwill or other intangible and long-lived assets;

●

restrictions contained in the New Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein);

●

our potential need for future additional financing that may not be available or may reduce our profitability;

●

future sales of shares by us or our existing stockholders;

●

lack of research or misleading or unfavorable research published about our business by securities or industry analysts;

●

the significant influence over us by funds affiliated with Providence Equity Partners L.L.C. (“Providence”);

●

future offerings of debt or equity securities that would rank senior to our common stock;

●

our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls;

●

our ability to fulfill our obligations incident to being a public company, including compliance with the Exchange Act and the requirements of the NYSE, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”);

●

the possibility of being subject to securities class action litigation due to future stock price volatility; and

●

the other risk identified under the captions “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations. All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we do not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, and changes in future operating results over time or otherwise.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “DoubleVerify,” ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ ‘‘our,’’ and the ‘‘Company,’’ as used in this report refer to DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. DoubleVerify and its subsidiary DoubleVerify MidCo, Inc. changed their names from Pixel Group Holdings Inc. and Pixel Parent Inc., respectively, prior to the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules that would ordinarily be required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 have been prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company changed the description of repurchases of its common stock under the Company’s share repurchase programs. The change is intended to capture the share repurchase activity under all existing share repurchase authorizations approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Use of Estimates and Judgments in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and judgments are inherent in the analysis and measurement of items including, but not limited to: revenue recognition criteria, including the determination of principal versus agent revenue considerations, operating lease assets and liabilities, including the incremental borrowing rate and terms and provisions of each lease, income taxes, the valuation and recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the assessment of potential loss from contingencies, assumptions in valuing acquired assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the allowance for doubtful accounts, and assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates. These estimates are based on the information available as of the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) with market-based and service-based vesting conditions that will vest based on achievement of Company specific stock price hurdles during the defined performance periods (“Stock Price PSUs”), subject to the recipient’s continued service during an explicit service period. The valuation of Stock Price PSUs employed the Monte Carlo simulation model, which includes certain key assumptions that were applied to the Company, such as valuation date stock price, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield. The valuation date stock price is based on the closing price on the grant date. Expected volatility is calculated using the Company’s historical stock price volatility for a period that is commensurate with the length of the applicable performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S. Treasury zero coupon securities with a maturity equal to the length of the applicable performance period. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s expected dividend rate over the applicable performance period assuming dividends distributed during the performance period are reinvested in additional shares of the underlying stock on the ex-dividend date. To the extent that market-based and service-based vesting conditions are met, between 0% and 200% of the target Stock Price PSUs will vest.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”), which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements to include specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements. The objective of ASU 2024-03 is to provide disaggregated information about a public business entity's expenses to help investors better understand the entity's performance, better assess the entity's prospects for future cash flows, and compare an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” (“ASU 2025-01”), which clarifies that ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the update may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (“ASU 2025-06”), which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 improve the operability of the recognition guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. ASU 2025-06 replaces the legacy recognition framework with management’s considerations on the funding of projects and introduces a probable-to-complete recognition threshold. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the update may be applied either on a prospective, modified prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interim Reporting: Narrow-Scope Improvements

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”), which clarifies the applicability of ASC 270, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The amendments in this ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The intent of the disclosure principle is to help entities determine whether disclosures not specified in Topic 270 should be provided in interim reporting periods. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the update may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-11 on the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Revenue

The following table disaggregates revenue between advertiser customers, where revenue is primarily generated based on the number of ads measured and purchased for Activation or measured for Measurement, and Supply-side, where revenue is generated based on contracts with minimum guarantees or contracts that contain overages after minimum guarantees are achieved.

Table of Contents

DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise stated)

Disaggregated revenue by customer type was as follows:


	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	June 30,					June 30,
(in thousands)	2026			2025		2026			2025
Activation	$	107,683		$	108,950	$	208,230		$	204,121
Measurement		66,760			62,895		128,563			116,326
Supply-side		19,346			17,176		37,821			33,635
Total revenue	$	193,789		$	189,021	$	374,614		$	354,082

Contract assets relate to the Company’s conditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract (e.g., unbilled receivables). Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, include unbilled receivable balances of $68.1 million and $67.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $35.5 million of remaining performance obligations which are expected to be recognized over the next one to three years. These non-cancelable arrangements have original expected durations longer than one year and for which the consideration is not variable. These obligations relate primarily to the Company’s Supply-side revenue which represented $37.8 million, or 10.1% of the Company’s total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is derived primarily from our advertising customers and partners based on the volume of media transactions, or ads, that our software platform measures, and not from supply-side arrangements. In determining the remaining performance obligations, the Company applied the allowable practical expedient and did not disclose information about (1) contracts’ remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less and (2) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

4. Business Combinations

Rockerbox, Inc.

9. Long-term Debt

On August 12, 2024, DoubleVerify Inc., as borrower (the “Borrower”) and DoubleVerify Midco, Inc. (“Midco”), as holdings (“Holdings”), entered into a credit agreement with the banks and other financial institutions party thereto, as lenders and letter of credit issuers, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and swing lender (the “Credit Agreement”), to provide for a new senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million (with a letter of credit facility of up to a $20.0 million sublimit), which matures on August 12, 2029 (the “Revolving Termination Date”). Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Borrower is entitled to request incremental facilities (including term, revolving and/or letter of credit facilities).

The New Revolving Credit Facility replaced in full the Company’s prior senior secured revolving credit facility provided under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2020 as amended by the First Amendment, dated as March 29, 2023, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility”).

The loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility, at the Borrower's option, bear interest at either a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”). In the case of SOFR loans, for each day during each interest period with respect thereto, a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) determined for such day plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum (depending on the total net leverage ratio of Holdings and its subsidiaries (the “Credit Group”)) applies. In the case of ABR loans, a rate per annum equal to ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum (depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Credit Group) applies. The Term SOFR rate is subject to a “floor” of 0.00% per annum. The New Revolving Credit Facility is payable in monthly or quarterly installments for interest, with the principal balance due in full at the Revolving Termination Date, subject to customary events of default as defined by the Credit Agreement. The New Revolving Credit Facility bears a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% per annum (depending on the total net leverage ratio of the Credit Group), payable quarterly in arrears commencing on April 15, 2025 and on the fifteenth day following the last day of each calendar quarter occurring thereafter prior to the Revolving Termination Date, and on the Revolving Termination Date, based on the utilization of the New Revolving Credit Facility, and customary letter of credit fees.

The New Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include restrictions on, among other things: paying dividends or purchasing, redeeming or retiring capital stock; granting liens; incurring or guaranteeing additional debt; making investments and acquisitions; entering into transactions with affiliates; entering into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation or disposing of all or substantially all property or business; and disposing of property, including issuing capital stock.

All obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to the guarantee agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”) made by the Company in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement. The obligations are also guaranteed by Midco, Ad-Juster, Inc. and Outrigger Media, Inc., and secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets (subject to customary exceptions) of Midco, the Borrower, Ad-Juster, Inc. and Outrigger Media, Inc. (but not the Company).

DoubleVerify Holdings, Inc.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise stated)

The Credit Agreement requires the Credit Group to remain in compliance with a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.50x as at the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Borrower was in compliance with all covenants under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no outstanding debt under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

10. Income Tax

The Company’s quarterly income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective income tax rate (“ETR”) based on historical information and forward-looking estimates. The Company’s estimated annual ETR may fluctuate as a result of changes in items such as forecasted annual pre-tax income, changes to forecasted permanent book-to-tax differences (e.g., non-deductible expenses), and applicable statutory tax rates.

The Company’s ETR for a particular reporting period may fluctuate from prior periods as a result of changes to the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets, the impact of anticipated tax settlements with federal, state, or foreign tax authorities, the impact of tax law changes, and the impact of certain discrete events. The Company identifies items that are unusual and non-recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of these discrete events is booked entirely in the quarter in which they occur.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $9.0 million and $16.8 million, respectively, resulting in ETRs of 41.0% and 46.5%, which include the effects of various permanent book-to-tax adjustments, foreign tax rate differences, U.S. tax on foreign operations, and U.S. state and local taxes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $6.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively, resulting in ETRs of 42.5% and 55.1%, which include the effects of various permanent book-to-tax adjustments, foreign tax rate differences, U.S. tax on foreign operations, and U.S. state and local taxes.

A valuation allowance has been established against certain U.S. tax loss carryforwards. All other net deferred tax assets have been determined to be more likely than not realizable. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and would establish a valuation allowance if it believed that such assets may not be recovered, taking into consideration historical operating results, expectations of future earnings, changes in its operations, and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes utilizing ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740-10 clarifies whether or not to recognize assets or liabilities for tax positions taken that may be challenged by a tax authority. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosures. The application of ASC 740-10 requires judgment related to the uncertainty in income taxes and could impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

11. Earnings Per Share

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in computations of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025:

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.08	$	0.05	$	0.12	$	0.07

Approximately 14.8 million and 14.2 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards were not included in the diluted EPS calculation in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, because they were antidilutive. Approximately 11.6 million and 9.7 million weighted average shares issuable under stock-based awards were not included in the diluted EPS calculation in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, because they were antidilutive.

Employee Equity Incentive Plan

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)

In March 2021, the Board approved the Company’s 2021 ESPP. Purchases are accomplished through participation in discrete offering periods. The ESPP is available to most of the Company’s employees. The current offering period began on June 1, 2026 and will end on November 30, 2026. The Company expects the program to continue consecutively for six-month offering periods for the foreseeable future.

Under the ESPP, eligible employees are able to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock by accumulating funds through payroll deductions. The purchase price for shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on (i) the first trading day of the applicable offering period and (ii) the last trading day of the applicable offering period. Employees are required to hold shares purchased for a minimum of six months following the purchase date.

Stock-based compensation expense for the ESPP is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP totaled $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

The February 2026 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

In connection with the Board’s approval of the February 2026 Repurchase Program, the Board determined to discontinue the previously authorized repurchase plan that was announced on November 6, 2024 (the “November 2024 Repurchase Program”). Accordingly, going forward, any and all repurchases will be made pursuant to the February 2026 Repurchase Program.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $25.0 million under the February 2026 Repurchase Program, which included immaterial amounts of broker commissions. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 9.8 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $100.2 million, which included immaterial amounts of broker commissions. Amounts related to the 1% excise tax on share repurchases, net of share issuances, as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. As of June 30, 2026, $200.0 million remained available and authorized for repurchase under the February 2026 Repurchase Program. Activity under the February 2026 Repurchase Program was recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a trade-date basis.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records liabilities for contingencies including legal costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Although the outcome of the various legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that any of these proceedings or other claims will have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

16. Segment Information

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s business activities as a single operating and reportable segment at the consolidated level. The CODM primarily uses consolidated net income as the measure of segment profit or loss in assessing performance by comparing current results to prior periods and making decisions such as resource allocations related to operations.

The CODM is provided with the segment expenses included in consolidated Net income and reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, and in the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, to manage the Company’s operations.

17. Subsequent Events

On August 6, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Neptune BidCo US Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Wallace Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any dissenting shares or shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including those held in treasury by the Company)) will be converted automatically into the right to receive $13.60 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

The Merger Agreement includes customary termination rights, including that the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or Parent: if (i) the Company and Parent mutually consent; (ii) the merger has not been consummated on or before the “end date” (twelve months from signing with an automatic extension of three months, if necessary to obtain regulatory approvals), (iii) any law in certain jurisdictions permanently prohibits the transaction (so long as any party’s breach has not been the cause of such prohibition), (iv) the Company’s stockholders do not approve the Merger, or (v) if the non-terminating party breaches certain representations, warranties or covenants and does not cure such breach. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment by the Company to Parent of a termination fee of $60.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances, and for payment by Parent to the Company of a termination fee of $144.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances and $175.0 million under certain other circumstances.

The Merger is expected to close by the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. If the Merger is consummated, shares of the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our audited financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including under the heading “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Company Overview

We are one of the industry’s leading media effectiveness platforms that leverages AI to drive superior outcomes for global brands. By creating more effective, transparent ad transactions, we make the digital advertising ecosystem stronger, safer and more secure, thereby preserving the fair value exchange between buyers and sellers of digital media.

Our solutions are integrated across the entire digital advertising ecosystem, including programmatic platforms, social media channels, and digital publishers. We deliver unique data analytics through our customer interface, DV Pinnacle, to provide detailed insights into our customers’ media performance on both direct and programmatic media buying platforms and across all key digital media channels, formats, and devices. In 2025, our coverage spanned 110 countries where our customers activate our solutions. Our customers include many of the largest global advertisers and digital ad platforms and publishers. We provide a consistent, cross-platform measurement standard across all major forms of digital media, making it easier for advertisers and supply-side customers to assess performance across all of their digital ads and optimize business outcomes in real-time.

We derive revenue primarily from our advertiser customers based on the volume of media transactions, or ads, that our solutions measure (“Media Transactions Measured”). Advertisers utilize the DV Authentic Ad, our definitive metric of digital media quality, to evaluate the existence of fraud, brand suitability, viewability and geography for each digital ad. Advertisers pay us an analysis fee (“Measured Transaction Fee”) per thousand impressions based on the volume of Media Transactions Measured on their behalf. The price of most of our solutions is fixed. On platforms that charge based on percent of media spend, our pricing includes caps which effectively mirror our standard fixed fees. We maintain an expansive set of direct integrations across the entire digital advertising ecosystem, including with leading programmatic, CTV, and social platforms, which enable us to deliver our metrics to the platforms where our customers buy ads. Further, our solutions are not reliant on any single source of impressions and we can service our customers as their digital advertising needs change.

We generate revenue from supply-side customers based on monthly or annual contracts with minimum guarantees and tiered pricing when guarantees are met.

On August 6, 2026, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Neptune BidCo US Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Wallace Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of our common stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any dissenting shares or shares of our common stock held by us or owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub, or us as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including those held in our treasury)) will be converted automatically into the right to receive $13.60 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

The Merger Agreement includes customary termination rights, including that the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either us or Parent: if (i) we and Parent mutually consent; (ii) the merger has not been consummated on or before the “end date” (twelve months from signing with an automatic extension of three months, if necessary to obtain regulatory approvals), (iii) any law in certain jurisdictions permanently prohibits the transaction (so long as any party’s breach has not been the cause of such prohibition), (iv) our stockholders do not approve the Merger, or (v) if the non-terminating party breaches certain representations, warranties or covenants and does not cure such breach. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment by us to Parent of a termination fee of $60.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances, and for payment by Parent to us of a termination fee of $144.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances and $175.0 million under certain other circumstances.

The Merger is expected to close by the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. If the Merger is consummated, shares of our common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Components of Our Results of Operations

We manage our business operations and report our financial results in a single segment.

Table of Contents

Revenue

Our customers use our solutions to measure the effectiveness of their digital advertisements. We generate revenue from our advertising customers based primarily on the volume of Media Transactions Measured by our solutions, and for supply-side customers, based on contracts with minimum guarantees or contracts that have tiered pricing after minimum guarantees are achieved. Our existing customer base has remained largely stable, and our gross revenue retention rate was over 95% for the three months ended June 30, 2026. We define our gross revenue retention rate as the total prior period revenue earned from advertiser customers, less the portion of prior period revenue attributable to lost advertiser customers, divided by the total prior period revenue from advertiser customers, excluding a portion of our revenues that cannot be allocated to specific advertiser customers.

For each of the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, advertiser customers accounted for 90% and 91% of our revenue, respectively. Advertisers can purchase our solutions through programmatic, social media and CTV platforms to evaluate the quality and optimize the efficiency of ad inventories before they are purchased, which we track as Activation revenue. Advertisers can also purchase our solutions to measure the quality and performance of ads after they are purchased directly or programmatically from digital properties, including publishers, social media and CTV platforms, which we track as Measurement revenue. We generate the majority of our revenue from advertisers by charging a Measured Transaction Fee based on the volume of Media Transactions Measured on behalf of our customers. We recognize revenue from advertisers in the period in which we provide our measurement and activation solutions.

For each of the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, supply-side customers who use our data analytics to validate the quality of their ad inventory and provide data to their customers to facilitate targeting and purchasing of digital ads, which we refer to as Supply-side revenue, accounted for 10% and 9% of our revenue, respectively. We generate revenue for certain supply-side arrangements that include minimum guaranteed fees that reset monthly and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the access period, which is usually one to two years. For contracts that contain overages, once the minimum guaranteed amount is achieved, overages are recognized as earned over time based on a tiered pricing structure.

Total revenue increased by $20.5 million, or 6%, from $354.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $374.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Total Advertiser revenue increased by $2.6 million, or 2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total Advertiser revenue increased by $16.3 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to a 10% increase in Media Transactions Measured, partially offset by a 6% decline in Measured Transaction Fees.

Table of Contents

Activation revenue decreased by $1.3 million, or 1%, in the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was driven by a decrease in revenue from programmatic channels, offset by greater adoption of social media solutions and Scibids AI. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Activation revenue increased by $4.1 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2025, driven by greater adoption of social media solutions, Scibids AI, and increase in revenue from programmatic channels.

Measurement revenue increased $3.9 million, or 6%, in the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, driven primarily by greater adoption of social and CTV solutions, as well as the addition of Rockerbox, Inc. (“Rockerbox”). For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Measurement revenue increased by $12.2 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2025, driven by the same factors.

Supply-side revenue increased $2.2 million, or 13%, in the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025, driven primarily by growth from both existing and new platform and publisher customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Supply-side revenue increased by $4.2 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2025, driven by the same factors.

Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown below)

Cost of revenue decreased by $0.6 million, or 2%, from $33.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $32.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was due primarily to lower partner costs from revenue-sharing arrangements tied to lower revenue in programmatic channels. Cost of revenue increased by $1.6 million, or 2%, from $64.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, to $65.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, due primarily to higher data services and hosting expenses due to increased volume, as well as higher partner costs from revenue-sharing arrangements tied to higher revenue in programmatic channels.

Product Development Expenses

Product development expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 2%, from $47.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $46.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, of $2.0 million, partially offset by an increase in third party software costs and outsourced consulting and engineering services of $1.0 million to support our product development efforts. Product development expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or less than 1%, from $91.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $91.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, of $0.9 million, a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses to support product development activities of $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in third party software costs and outsourced consulting and engineering services of $1.1 million to support our product development efforts.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support Expenses

Sales, marketing and customer support expenses decreased by $2.6 million, or 5%, from $50.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $48.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation and sales commissions, of $4.0 million, partially offset by an increase in marketing, travel and entertainment and third party professional fees to support marketing and sales activities of $1.0 million. Sales, marketing and customer support expenses decreased by $0.7 million, or 1%, from $94.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $93.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation and sales commissions, of $3.3 million, partially offset by an increase in marketing, travel and entertainment, and third party professional fees to support marketing and sales activities of $1.7 million.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.6 million, or 9%, from $29.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $27.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was due primarily to a $1.0 million decrease in expenses with respect to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course, a $0.5 million decrease in acquisition-related transaction costs for Rockerbox and our broader acquisition strategy, and a $0.7 million decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses decreased by $3.4 million, or 6%, from $56.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $52.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was due primarily to a $1.0 million decrease in expenses with respect to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course, a $1.7 million decrease in acquisition-related transaction costs for Rockerbox and our broader acquisition strategy, and a $0.1 million decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.0 million, or 13%, from $14.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, to $16.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was due primarily to higher amortization of internally developed software. Depreciation and Amortization increased by $4.9 million, or 18%, from $27.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $32.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 driven by the same factors.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by less than $0.1 million, from $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, to $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. Interest expense was materially unchanged at $0.9 million in each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026.

Other Expense (Income), Net

Other expense (income), net changed by $2.7 million, from income of $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, to expense of $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The change was due primarily to losses from changes in foreign exchange rates. Other expense (income), net changed by $6.9 million, from income of $5.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, to expense of $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 driven by the same factors.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased by $2.5 million from $6.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, to $9.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was due primarily to higher pre-tax earnings and unfavorable effects from certain stock compensation costs. These factors were partially offset by a more favorable estimated operating effective tax rate for the year. Income tax expense increased by $3.2 million from $13.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, to $16.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, driven by the same factors.

Adjusted EBITDA

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, are useful in evaluating our business. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026			2025			2026			2025

	(In Thousands)						(In Thousands)
Net income	$	12,918		$	8,758		$	19,328		$	11,119
Net income margin		7%			5%			5%			3%
Depreciation and amortization		16,660			14,697			31,999			27,084
Stock-based compensation		25,525			27,007			49,774			51,349
Interest expense		475			443			888			863
Income tax expense		8,988			6,452			16,808			13,613
M&A and restructuring costs (a)		—			504			—			1,666
Other costs (b)		117			1,518			95			1,518

Adjusted EBITDA	$	65,327		$	57,274		$	120,529		$	101,928
Adjusted EBITDA margin		34%			30%			32%			29%

(a)

M&A and restructuring costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 consist of transaction costs related to the acquisition of Rockerbox.

(b)

Other costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 consist of expenses with respect to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course. Other costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 consist of expenses incurred with respect to litigation and regulatory matters outside of the ordinary course and costs related to the early termination of an office lease.

(c)

Other expense (income) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 consists of interest income earned on interest-bearing monetary assets, and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as measures of operational efficiency to understand and evaluate our core business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period to period comparisons of our core business and for understanding and evaluating trends in operating results on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Table of Contents

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these measures are:

●

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;

●

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

●

they do not reflect income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay income taxes;

●

they do not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal debt payments; and

●

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges related mainly to intangible assets, certain assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, therefore limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using the non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our operations are financed primarily through cash generated from operations. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $210.2 million and net working capital, consisting of current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) less current liabilities, of $156.4 million.

We believe existing cash and cash generated from operations, together with the $200.0 million undrawn balance under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026, will be sufficient to meet future working capital requirements and fund capital expenditures, share repurchase programs and acquisitions on a short-term and long-term basis.

Our total future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including the timing and closing of the Merger, the costs related to the Merger as well as the risks and uncertainties set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Debt Obligations

On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement providing for the New Revolving Credit Facility with available borrowings of $200.0 million, which matures on the Revolving Termination Date. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company is entitled to request incremental facilities (including term, revolving and/or letter of credit facilities). The New Revolving Credit Facility replaced in full the Company’s Prior Revolving Credit Facility.

All obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement. The New Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on, among other things: paying dividends or purchasing, redeeming or retiring capital stock applicable to the Credit Group; granting liens; incurring or guaranteeing additional debt; making investments and acquisitions; entering into transactions with affiliates; entering into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation or disposing of all or substantially all property or business; and disposing of property, including issuing capital stock.

The New Revolving Credit Facility also requires us to remain in compliance with certain financial ratios. DoubleVerify, Inc. was in compliance with all covenants under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, there was no outstanding debt under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

For more information about the New Revolving Credit Facility, see Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Repurchase Programs

On February 18, 2026, the Company’s Board authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock under the February 2026 Repurchase Program. The Company may repurchase for cash from time to time shares of its common stock through open market purchases pursuant to Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 plans, in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The February 2026 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

In connection with the Board’s approval of the February 2026 Repurchase Program, the Board determined to discontinue the November 2024 Repurchase Program. Accordingly, going forward, any and all repurchases will be made pursuant to the February 2026 Repurchase Program.

Table of Contents

Repurchases under the February 2026 Repurchase Program commenced in March 2026. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $25.0 million under the February 2026 Repurchase Program. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 9.8 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $100.2 million under the February 2026 Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2026, $200.0 million remained available and authorized for repurchase under the February 2026 Repurchase Program.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2026		2025

	(In Thousands)
Cash flows provided by operating activities	$	80,413	$	87,276
Cash flows used in investing activities		(21,056)		(86,707)
Cash flows used in financing activities		(107,423)		(86,044)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash		(821)		4,547
Decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	(48,887)	$	(80,928)

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are influenced primarily by growth in our operations and by changes in our working capital. In particular, trade receivables increase in conjunction with our growth in sales and decrease based on timing of cash receipts from our customers. The timing of payments of trade payables also impacts our cash flows from operating activities. We typically pay suppliers in advance of collections from our customers. Our collection and payment cycles can vary from period to period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $80.4 million, attributable to net income of $19.3 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $91.3 million and $30.3 million use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $32.0 million in depreciation and amortization and $49.8 million in stock-based compensation. The main drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were a $26.1 million decrease in trade payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily related to the timing of payments for accrued expenses, and a $7.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets due mainly to increases in prepayments, partially offset by a decrease in trade receivables of $3.0 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $87.3 million, attributable to net income of $11.1 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $84.3 million and $8.1 million use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $27.1 million in depreciation and amortization and $51.3 million in stock-based compensation. The main drivers of the changes in operating assets and liabilities were a $41.0 million decrease in trade receivables, offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $32.8 million due mainly to increases in prepayments, and a $16.3 million decrease in trade payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily related to the timing of income tax payments.

Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in investing activities of $21.1 million was attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment, and capitalized software development costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $86.7 million, including $82.6 million attributable to the acquisition of Rockerbox, $15.8 million attributable to purchases of property, plant and equipment, and capitalized software development costs, partially offset by $12.7 million attributable to proceeds from maturities of short-term financial instruments.

Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in financing activities of $107.4 million was due primarily to $100.2 million related to shares repurchased under the February 2026 Repurchase Program and $5.5 million related to shares repurchased for settlement of employee tax withholding. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities of $86.0 million was due primarily to $82.2 million related to shares repurchased under the previously authorized repurchase programs and $3.7 million related to shares repurchased for settlement of employee tax withholding.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the dates of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and any such differences may be material.

Table of Contents

Some of the judgments that management makes in applying its accounting estimates in these areas are discussed in Note 2 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Since the date of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risks at June 30, 2026 have not materially changed from those discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the heading “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2026. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding its required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under all potential future conditions. 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. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that would, either individually or in the aggregate, be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or cash flows. We are, from time to time, involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The outcome of legal proceedings is unpredictable and may have an adverse impact on our business or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the additional risks noted below:

Uncertainties associated with the Merger could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.

On August 6, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At closing of the Merger, our common stock will be delisted from The New York Stock Exchange and we will cease to be a reporting company. Completion of the Merger is subject to various customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals. The failure to satisfy these closing conditions could jeopardize or delay the consummation of the Merger. The parties to the Merger Agreement may not receive the necessary approvals for the transaction or receive them within the expected timeframe. In addition, the Merger may fail to close for other reasons. We have incurred significant legal, accounting and other transaction costs, which are required to be paid regardless of whether the Merger is consummated.

The pendency of the Merger, as well as any delays in the expected timeframe, could cause disruption to our ongoing operations and create uncertainties, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and trading price of our common stock, regardless of whether the Merger is completed. These risks include, but are not limited to:

●

an adverse effect on our relationship with vendors, customers and employees, including if our vendors, customers or others attempt to negotiate changes in existing business relationships, consider entering into business relationships with parties other than us, delay or defer decisions concerning their business with us, or terminate their existing business relationships with us during the pendency of the Merger;

●

a diversion of a significant amount of management time and resources toward the completion of the Merger;

●

being subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business;

●

possibly foregoing certain business opportunities that we might otherwise pursue absent the pending Merger; and

●

difficulties attracting and retaining key employees.

The adverse effects of the pendency of the Merger could be exacerbated by any delays in completion of the Merger or by termination of the Merger Agreement. Even if successfully completed, there are certain risks to our stockholders from the Merger, including:

●

the per share consideration is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in our business, assets, liabilities, prospects, outlook, financial condition or operating results or in the event of any change in the market price of, analyst estimates of, or projections relating to, our common stock;

●

the fact that the exchange of common stock for cash pursuant to the Merger will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes; and

●

the fact that, if the Merger is completed, our stockholders will not participate in any future growth potential or benefit from any future increase in the value of our company.

Failure to complete the Merger could adversely affect our business and the market price of our shares of common stock.

The closing of the Merger may not occur on the expected timeline or at all. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for us and Parent, including (i) we and Parent mutually consent; (ii) the merger has not been consummated on or before the “end date” (twelve months from signing with one automatic extension of three months, if necessary to obtain regulatory approvals), (iii) any law in certain jurisdictions permanently prohibits the transaction (so long as any party’s breach has not been the cause of such prohibition), (iv) our stockholders do not approve the Merger, or (v) if the non-terminating party breaches certain representations, warranties or covenants and does not cure such breach. If the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Merger is not consummated, the price of our common stock may decline, we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative stock price impacts, or we may experience negative reactions from our business partners, and you may not recover your investment or receive a price for your shares of common stock similar to what has been offered pursuant to the Merger.

Table of Contents

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

In addition, the Merger Agreement provides for the payment by us to Parent of a termination fee of $60.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances, and for payment by Parent to us of a termination fee of $144.0 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in specified circumstances and $175.0 million under certain other circumstances. If we are required to pay this termination fee, such fee, together with costs incurred to execute the Merger Agreement and pursue the Merger, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger.

Under the Merger Agreement, we are restricted from soliciting or engaging in discussions or negotiations with respect to any alternative business combination transaction. These provisions could discourage a third party that may have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of our business from considering or proposing an acquisition, even if such third party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the value of the consideration provided for in the Merger Agreement.

We are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we have agreed to certain restrictions on the operations of our business. We have agreed to limit the conduct of our business to those actions undertaken in the ordinary course of business and to refrain from, among other things, incurring debt; entering into, establishing, adopting, amending, modifying or terminating any Company employee benefit plan; increasing the compensation or employee benefits of certain employees, contractors or service providers or hiring or terminating certain employees, contractors or service providers under certain circumstances (other than for cause); settling, releasing, waiving or compromising certain legal proceedings; materially changing our methods, principles or practices of financial accounting; and incurring certain capital expenditures. Because of these restrictions, we may be prevented from undertaking certain actions with respect to the conduct of our business that we might otherwise have taken if not for the Merger Agreement.

We and our directors may be subject to litigation challenging the Merger, and an unfavorable judgment or ruling in any such lawsuit could prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger and/or result in substantial costs.

Putative stockholder complaints, including stockholder class action complaints, and other complaints that may be filed against us, our Board, parties involved in the Merger and others in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger. The outcome of any such demands and complaints or any litigation is uncertain, and we may not be successful in defending against these claims. Whether or not any claims are successful, this type of litigation could delay or prevent the Merger, divert the attention of our management and employees from our day-to-day business, and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Merger, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed, which may exacerbate the other risks described herein and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

⁽¹⁾ On February 18, 2026, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock under the February 2026 Repurchase Program. In connection with the Board’s approval of the February 2026 Repurchase Program, the Board determined to discontinue the November 2024 Repurchase Program. Accordingly, going forward, any and all repurchases will be made pursuant to the February 2026 Repurchase Program. Under the February 2026 Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase for cash from time to time shares of its common stock through open market purchases pursuant to Rule 10b-18 and/or Rule 10b5-1 plans, in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The February 2026 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, has no time limit, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

⁽²⁾ Excludes other costs such as broker commissions and the accrued excise tax imposed by the IRA.
