•the timing and success of new product introductions and product upgrades by N-able or its competitors;

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Background

On August 6, 2020, SolarWinds Corporation ("SolarWinds" or "Parent") announced that its board of directors had authorized management to explore a potential spin-off of its managed service provider ("MSP") business into our company, a newly created and separately traded public company, and separate into two distinct, publicly traded companies (the "Separation").

On July 19, 2021, SolarWinds completed the Separation through a pro-rata distribution (the "Distribution") of all the outstanding shares of our common stock it held to the stockholders of record of SolarWinds as of the close of business on July 12, 2021 (the "Record Date"). Each SolarWinds stockholder of record received one share of our common stock, $0.001 par value, for every two shares of SolarWinds common stock, $0.001 par value, held by such stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date. SolarWinds distributed 158,020,156 shares of our common stock in the Distribution, which was effective at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 19, 2021. The Distribution reflected 316,040,312 shares of SolarWinds common stock outstanding on July 12, 2021 at a distribution ratio of one share of our common stock for every two shares of SolarWinds common stock. In addition, on July 19, 2021, and prior to completion of the Distribution, we issued 20,623,282 newly-issued shares of our common stock in connection with a private placement of N-able’s common stock (the “Private Placement”). As a result of the Distribution, we became an independent public company and our common stock is listed under the symbol "NABL" on the New York Stock Exchange. Depending on the periods presented, our interim financial statements are presented on a consolidated or combined, "carve out," basis as described below.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements for the periods through the Separation date of July 19, 2021 are Combined Financial Statements prepared on a “carve-out” basis. Our financial statements for the period from July 20, 2021 through September 30, 2021 are Consolidated Financial Statements based on our reported results as a standalone company. We prepared our interim Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements include the accounts of N-able, Inc. and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions.

The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements at September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited, but in our opinion include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The Combined Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020 was derived from our audited financial statements. The results reported in these Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our registration statement on Form 10 (File No. 001-40297), initially filed with the SEC on March 29, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 6, 2021, Amendment No. 2 filed on April 14, 2021, Amendment No. 3 filed on May 27, 2021, and Amendment No. 4 filed on June 15, 2021 (the "Form 10"). The Form 10 includes a preliminary information statement that describes the Distribution and provides information regarding our business and management. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC at 3:00

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

p.m. Central Time on June 25, 2021. The final information statement was furnished as exhibit 99.3 to the Form 8-K we filed with the SEC on July 12, 2021 (the "Information Statement").

The Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to N-able as well as an allocation of expenses related to facilities, functions and services provided by SolarWinds prior to the Separation. These corporate expenses have been allocated to us based on direct usage or benefit, where identifiable, with the remainder allocated based on headcount. See Note 4. Relationship with Parent and Related Entities for further details. The allocated costs were deemed to be settled by N-able to SolarWinds in the period in which the expense was recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. The Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows present these corporate expenses as cash flows from operating activities, as these costs were incurred by SolarWinds. Current and deferred income taxes and related tax expense have been determined based on the stand-alone results of N-able by applying Accounting Standards Codification No. 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), to N-able’s operations in each country as if it were a separate taxpayer (i.e. following the Separate Return Methodology).

The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements include all assets and liabilities that resided in N-able legal entities. Assets and liabilities in shared entities as of December 31, 2020 were included in the stand-alone financial statements to the extent the asset or liability is primarily used by N-able. If N-able was not the primary user of the asset or liability, it was excluded entirely from the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. SolarWinds used a legal entity approach to cash management and financing its operations. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents, related party debt and related interest expense have been attributed to N‑able in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements only to the extent such items had been historically legally entitled within N-able legal entities. Any such items which existed in other entities, whether shared or otherwise, wee outside of the control of the N-able business and have been excluded from the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

SolarWinds maintains various stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level. N-able employees participated in those programs prior to the Separation and a portion of the compensation cost associated with those plans is included in N-able’s Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. The stock-based compensation expense is included within Parent company net investment for periods prior to the Separation, and is included within additional paid-in capital following the Separation. The amounts presented in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of future awards. See Note 4. Relationship with Parent and Related Entities for further details.

SolarWinds' third party debt and the related interest have not been allocated to us for any of the applicable periods presented because SolarWinds' borrowings were primarily for corporate cash purposes and were not directly attributable to N-able. In addition, none of the N-able legal entities guaranteed the debt nor were they jointly and severally liable for SolarWinds' debt.

Any transactions which have been included in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements from legal entities which are not exclusively operating as N-able legal entities are considered to be effectively settled in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements at the time the transaction is recorded between SolarWinds and the N-able business. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets as Parent company net investment. Other transactions between N-able legal entities and other SolarWinds legal entities, to the extent such transactions have not been settled in cash as of the period-end date, are reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets as due to affiliates, and due from affiliates which is included within accounts receivable.

All of the allocations and estimates in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of N-able in the future or if N-able had been a separate, stand-alone publicly traded entity during the applicable periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure. Going forward, we may perform these functions using our own resources or outsourced services. For a period following the Separation, however, some of these functions continue to be provided by SolarWinds under a Transition Services Agreement. Additionally, we provide some services to SolarWinds under such Transition Services Agreement.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The impact from the rapidly changing market and economic conditions due to the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition is uncertain. We have made estimates of the impact of the COVID-19

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

pandemic within our financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 which did not result in material adjustments. The estimates assessed included, but were not limited to, allowances for credit losses, the carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets and other long-lived assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition and may change in future periods. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The accounting estimates that require our most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include:

•the valuation of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets and contingent consideration;

•revenue recognition;

•income taxes; and

•management’s assessment of allocations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

As of September 30, 2021, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows from those that were disclosed in the Information Statement.

Fair Value Measurements

We apply the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and non-financial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The guidance establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible by us.

Level 2: Inputs that are observable in the marketplace other than those inputs classified as Level 1.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace and significant to the valuation.

The carrying amounts reported in our Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate fair value due to relatively short periods to maturity. Our related party debt with SolarWinds Holdings, Inc. prior to the Separation is not carried at fair value. See Note 4. Relationship with Parent and Related Entities for further details regarding our related party debt.

4. Relationship with Parent and Related Entities

Prior to the Separation, the N-able business was managed and operated in the normal course of business consistent with other affiliates of SolarWinds. Accordingly, certain shared costs for the periods through the Separation date of July 19, 2021 have been allocated to N-able and reflected as expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. Management considers the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable and appropriate reflections of the historical SolarWinds expenses attributable to N-able for purposes of the stand-alone financial statements. However, the expenses reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if N-able historically operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. In addition, the expenses reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of related expenses that will be incurred in the future by N-able.

General Corporate Overhead

For the periods through the Separation date of July 19, 2021, SolarWinds provided facilities, information technology services and certain corporate and administrative services to the N-able business. Expenses relating to these services have been allocated to N-able and are reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. Where direct assignment is not possible or practical, these costs were allocated based on headcount. The following table summarizes the components of general allocated corporate expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020

Due to and from Affiliates

Due to affiliates within long-term liabilities in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets represents N-able's related party debt due to SolarWinds Holdings, Inc. of $372.7 million as of December 31, 2020. In connection with the Separation and Distribution, we repaid this related party debt and we had no remaining related party debt due to SolarWinds Holdings, Inc. as of September 30, 2021.

N-able, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited)

On February 25, 2016, we entered into a loan agreement with SolarWinds Holdings, Inc. with an original principal amount of $250.0 million and a maturity date of February 25, 2023. Borrowings under the loan agreement bear interest at a floating rate which is equal to an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for a three-month interest period plus 9.8%. Prepayments of borrowings under the loan are permitted. As of December 31, 2020, $228.5 million in borrowings were outstanding. In connection with the Separation and Distribution, we repaid this debt and no borrowings were outstanding as of September 30, 2021.

On May 27, 2016, we entered into an additional loan agreement with SolarWinds Holdings, Inc. The loan agreement, as amended, has an original principal amount of $200.0 million and a maturity date of May 27, 2026. Borrowings under the loan agreement bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.24%. Prepayments of borrowings under the loan are permitted. As of December 31, 2020, $144.2 million in borrowings were outstanding. In connection with the Separation and Distribution, we repaid this debt and no borrowings were outstanding as of September 30, 2021.

Interest expense related to the activity with SolarWinds Holdings, Inc. was $3.1 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interest expense related to the activity with SolarWinds Holdings, Inc. was $15.7 million and $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The repayment of principal for these related party borrowings is reflected as a financing activity in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

Due to affiliates within current liabilities primarily comprises $0.6 million relating to transition services provided by SolarWinds and $8.0 million of intercompany trade payables as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Due from affiliates within accounts receivable comprises $1.4 million of receivables due from SolarWinds and $0.3 million of intercompany trade receivables for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Equity-Based Incentive Plans

Prior to the Separation, certain of our employees participated in Parent’s equity-based incentive plans. Under the SolarWinds Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"), our employees, consultants, directors, managers and advisors were awarded stock-based incentive awards in a number of forms, including non-qualified stock options. The ability to grant any future equity awards under the 2016 Plan terminated in October 2018. Under the SolarWinds Corporation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, our employees were eligible to be awarded stock-based incentive awards, including non-statutory stock options or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other cash-based or share-based awards. Awards granted to our employees under the Parent incentive plans generally vested over periods ranging from one to five years. We measure stock-based compensation for all stock-based incentive awards at fair value on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards.

For the periods through the Separation date of July 19, 2021, compensation costs associated with our employees’ participation in Parent's incentive plans have been specifically identified for employees who exclusively supported our operations and were allocated to us as part of the cost allocations from Parent. Total costs charged to us related to our employees’ participation in Parent’s incentive plans were $0.5 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $9.3 million and $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In connection with the Separation and Distribution, all of the outstanding and unvested SolarWinds equity awards held by our employees were converted to N-able awards (the “Conversion”). The modification of these outstanding equity awards resulted in incremental compensation expense to the extent the estimated fair value of the awards immediately following the modification exceeded the estimated fair value of the awards immediately prior to the modification. This expense is to be recognized upfront for all outstanding awards and over the remaining vesting term for all unvested awards. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $1.7 million of incremental expense in connection with the Conversion.We include stock-based compensation expense in operating expense (general and administrative, sales and marketing and research and development) and cost of revenue on our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations, depending on the nature of the employee’s role in our operations.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Prior to the Separation, our eligible employees participated in Parent’s 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). The ESPP permitted eligible participants to purchase SolarWinds' shares at a discount through regular payroll deductions of up to 20% of their eligible compensation during the offering period. The ESPP was typically implemented through consecutive six-month offering periods. The purchase price of the shares was 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the closing price per share on the first day of the offering period and the fair market value of the closing price per share on the last day of the offering period. No participant could purchase more than $25,000 worth of common stock per calendar year.

Costs charged to us related to our employees’ participation in Parent’s ESPP were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

5. Debt

In connection with the Separation and Distribution, on July 19, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase, Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for $410.0 million of first lien secured credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities"), consisting of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"), and a $350.0 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan"). On July 19, 2021, prior to the completion of the Distribution, the Company distributed approximately $16.5 million, representing the proceeds from the Term Loan, net of the repayment of related party debt due to SolarWinds Holdings, Inc., payment of intercompany trade payables, and fees and other transaction-related expenses, to SolarWinds. The Revolving Facility will primarily be available for general corporate purposes.

The following table summarizes information relating to our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2021:

	September 30,
	2021
	Amount Outstanding		Effective Rate
	(in thousands, except interest rates)
Term loan facility	$	350,000	3.50	%
Revolving credit facility	—		—	%
Total principal amount	350,000
Unamortized discount and debt issuance costs	(10,654)
Total debt, net	339,346
Less: Current debt obligation	(3,500)
Long-term debt, net of current portion	$	335,846

Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0%) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. The borrowings denominated in Euros under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted EURIBOR rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.0%) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a floating rate of an Adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a “floor” of 0.5%) for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. Each margin is subject to reductions to 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively, based on our first lien net leverage ratio.

In addition to paying interest on loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum in respect of unused commitments thereunder, subject to a reduction to 0.25% per annum based on our first lien net leverage ratio.

The Term Loan requires quarterly repayments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, commencing in December 2021 through June 2028. The final maturity dates of the Revolving Facility and Term Loan are July 18, 2026 and July 18, 2028, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; create liens; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell or transfer assets; pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock; make investments, loans, or advances; prepay certain junior indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and enter into negative pledge agreements. In addition, the Revolving Facility is subject to a financial covenant requiring compliance with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 7.50 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal quarter, which will trigger when loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility exceed 35% of the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including, among others, failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violation of covenants; cross events of default; certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; certain ERISA events; certain undischarged judgments; and change of control.

As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement.

7. Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded income tax expense of $3.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 67.6% and 152.6%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded income tax expense of $9.6 million and $8.6 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 125.4% and 75.5%, respectively. The decrea
