INSTRUCTURE HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization
On March 24, 2020, Instructure Parent, L.P. (“TopCo”) acquired
Instructure is an education technology company dedicated to elevating student access, amplifying the power of teaching, and inspiring everyone to learn together. Instructure's learning platform delivers a next-generation learning management system (“LMS”), robust assessments for learning, actionable analytics, and engaging, dynamic content. Instructure offers its learning platform through a Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, business model. Instructure, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2008. We are headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and have wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, Hungary, and Singapore.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim periods, under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, we have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 2023. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q does not include all disclosures required under U.S. GAAP. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted under the rules and regulations of the SEC.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 17, 2023 (the "2022 10-K").
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates, which we evaluate on an on-going basis, include provisions for credit losses, useful lives for property and equipment and intangible assets, valuation allowances for net deferred income tax assets, valuation of stock-based compensation, acquisition related estimates, our assessment for impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, timing of professional services revenue recognition, and the determination of the period of benefit for deferred commissions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which we believe to be reasonable.
Operating Segments
We operate in a single operating segment, cloud-based learning management, assessment and performance systems. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”), which are our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODMs evaluate our financial information and resources and assess the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. Since we operate in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is discussed in “Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the 2022 10-K. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. Upon adoption a lessor is required to classify a lease with variable lease payments (that do not depend on a rate or index) as an operating lease on commencement date if classifying the lease as a sales-type or direct financing lease would result in a selling loss. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which refined the scope of Topic 848 and clarified some of its provisions. The amendments permit entities to elect certain optional expedients and exceptions when accounting for derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by the discounting transition. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Issued accounting pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements issued which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Management continues to monitor and review recently issued accounting guidance upon issuance.

For the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred net losses and, therefore, the effect of our restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and of shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. We also incurred losses in the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2022.

Employee Equity Plans
In April 2020, as part of the Take-Private Transaction, the board of managers of TopCo approved the Instructure Parent, LP Incentive Equity Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and the Instructure Co-Invest Agreement (the “Co-Invest Agreement”) to incentivize employees and to align the employees and management with the owners of the business. The 2020 Plan provided for the grant of incentive stock options, profits interest, equity appreciation rights and other forms of awards to employees and non-employees granted or denominated in TopCo Units.

11. Income Taxes
Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and credits may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.
We file tax returns in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, Hungary, China, Singapore and various state jurisdictions. All of our tax years remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject, as carryforward attributes generated in past years may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state and foreign tax authorities if they have or will be used in future periods.
We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for our income tax uncertainties in all open tax years. We do not expect our gross unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next 12 months.
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets also include adjustments related to prepaid or deferred lease payments and lease incentives. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.
The Company performed evaluations of its contracts and determined that each of its identified leases are operating leases. The components of operating lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims, including challenges to trademarks, from time to time arising in the normal course of business. If we determine that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable, we will record a liability in our condensed consolidated financial statements. If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. Although the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable and uncertain, management does not believe that the outcome of our various legal proceedings, if determined adversely to us, singly or in the aggregate, would have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Wade Billings filed a class action lawsuit against Instructure Holdings, LLC, certain Thoma Bravo entities and certain directors and officers of Instructure Holdings, LLC, relating to the Take-Private Transaction.

We are the LMS market share leader in both Higher Education and paid K-12, with over 7,000 global customers, representing Higher Education institutions and K-12 districts and schools in more than 100 countries. We are maniacally focused on our customers and enhancing the teaching and learning experience. As such, we continuously innovate to grow the functionality and capabilities of our platform, including through our earlier acquisitions to add online skills portfolio capabilities for Higher Education students and assessment and analytics capabilities. More recently, we acquired Eesysoft (rebranded to “Impact by Instructure” subsequent to acquisition, or “Impact”) to allow educators to evaluate the impact education technologies have on student engagement and outcome, Kimono LLC (rebranded to “Elevate Data Sync” subsequent to acquisition) to secure data syncing capabilities across applications within a school environment, Concentric Sky, the maker of Badgr, (rebranded to “Canvas Credentials” subsequent to acquisition) to empower institutions to help learners navigate their personal learning journeys through stackable digital credentialing technology that allows them to carry proof of their academic achievements and skills development, and LearnPlatform to empower educational organizations to evaluate and manage ongoing usage and effectiveness of digital learning products. Our platform becomes the invaluable digital infrastructure behind our customers’ instructional workflows.
Since our founding in 2008, we have expanded our platform from the core LMS to include a broad set of offerings targeting all aspects of teaching and learning. As our platform has grown, we have become more strategic to schools as they seek vendor consolidation, best of breed solutions, and integrated offerings to serve teachers and students.
This discussion and analysis reflects our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited).
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited):
Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for definitions and reconciliations to the most closely comparable GAAP measure.

Recent Developments
Macroeconomic Conditions and Trends
Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to high inflation, slower econcomic growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, high interest rates, currency fluctuations, market-wide liquidity issues and challenges in the supply chain could impact our business and customer spending. Certain of our customers may also be negatively impacted by these events.
In March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed and placed in receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the majority of our cash deposits have been transferred to other financial institutions, with the remaining amounts still deposited with SVB being fully accessible. However, there is uncertainty in the markets regarding the stability of the banking system and especially of regional banks and the safety of deposits in excess of FDIC insured deposit limits. If the various banks and financial institutions at which we hold our cash enter receivership or become insolvent, our ability to access our cash may be threatened.
During 2022, the U.S. dollar strengthened against foreign currencies. The U.S dollar may continue to strengthen against foreign currencies if the U.S. Federal Reserve further raises the federal funds interest rate, which could further impact our reported expenses. Similarly, as a result of increased federal funds interest rates, the interest rate applicable to our Senior Term Loan increased from 6.12% as of December 31, 2022 to 7.85% as of March 31, 2023 (unaudited), impacting our cost of debt. These items have not had a material impact on our results of operations to date.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Our historical financial performance has been, and we expect our financial performance in the future to be, driven by the following trends and our ability to:
Increase Adoption of Cloud-Based Software by Higher Education and K-12 Institutions
Our ability to increase market adoption of our platform is driven by the overall adoption of cloud applications and infrastructure by academic institutions. We believe that Higher Education and K-12 institutions are poised to accelerate the pace of cloud adoption to support near-term online educational needs, as a result of, and following the COVID-19 pandemic, and to withstand future challenges. Academic institutions that relied upon on-premises solutions to support remote operations faced significant delays at the height of the pandemic. In order to continue providing a high-quality education and support in-person, remote, and hybrid learning, institutions must make a fundamental shift to adopt cloud-based collaboration solutions. As the leader in the market for cloud-based learning technology, we believe the imperative for these institutions to adopt cloud infrastructure will increase demand for our platform and broaden our customer base.
Grow Our Customer Base
We believe there is significant opportunity to grow our customer base in Higher Education and K-12. The growth of our Higher Education customer base is primarily dependent on the replacement of legacy systems with our cloud-native platform in North America and our continued expansion efforts internationally. The growth of our K-12 customer base is primarily dependent on our ability to surround currently implemented free solutions with our learning platform and, in connection therewith, monetize demand for our broad capabilities. We intend to expand our customer base by continuing to make targeted and prudent investments in sales and marketing and customer support.
Cross-sell into our Existing Customer Base
Most of our customers initially engage with us using our Canvas LMS solution, and then we are generally able to cross-sell our other solutions as these customers become aware of the benefits of our broad capabilities, including learning, assessments, analytics, student success, program management, digital courseware, and global online learning. Our future revenue growth is dependent upon our ability to expand our customers’ use of our learning platform. Our ability to increase sales to existing customers depends on a number of factors, including customer satisfaction, competition, pricing, economic conditions, and spending by customers.
Key Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily from two main sources: (1) subscription and support revenue, which is comprised of SaaS fees from customers accessing our learning platform and from customers purchasing additional support beyond the standard support that is included in the basic SaaS fees; and (2) related professional services revenue, which is comprised of training, implementation services and other types of professional services.
22
Subscription revenue is derived from customers using our learning platform and is driven primarily by the number of customers, the number of users at each customer, the price of our applications and renewals. Support revenue is derived from customers purchasing additional support beyond the standard support that is included in the basic SaaS fee. Our contracts typically vary in length between one and five years. Subscriptions and support are non-cancelable and are billed in advance on an annual basis. All subscription and support fees billed are initially recorded in deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the subscription term.
Professional services and other revenue are derived primarily from implementation, training, and other consulting fees. Implementation services includes training and consulting services that generally take anywhere from 30 to 90 days to complete depending on customer-side complexity and timelines. It includes regularly scheduled and highly-structured activities to ensure customers progress toward better utilizing our applications. Most of these interactions take place over the phone and through the use of web meeting technology. Because we have determined the implementation services are distinct, they are recognized over time as the services are rendered, using an efforts-expended input method. Implementation services also include nonrefundable upfront setup fees, which are allocated to the remaining performance obligations.
We include training with every implementation and offer additional training for a fee. The training offered is focused on creating confidence among users so they can be successful with our applications. Most training is performed remotely using web meeting technology. Because we have determined that trainings are distinct, we record training revenue upon the delivery of the training. Training is recognized ratably in the same manner as subscription and support revenue described above.
In addition to our implementation and training offerings, we provide consulting services for custom application development, integrations, content services and change management consulting. These services are architected to boost customer adoption of our applications and to drive usage of features and capabilities that are unique to our company. We have determined that these services are distinct. Professional services revenue is typically recognized over time as the services are rendered, using an efforts-expended input method.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of subscription and support revenue consists primarily of the costs of our cloud hosting provider and other third-party service providers, employee-related costs including payroll, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for our operations and customer support teams, amortization of capitalized software development costs and acquired technology, and allocated overhead costs, which we define as rent, facilities and costs related to IT. Our acquired technology is amortized over the estimated useful life, which is five years.
Cost of professional services and other revenue consists primarily of personnel costs of our professional services organization, including salaries, benefits, travel, bonuses and stock-based compensation, as well as allocated overhead costs.
Operating Expenses
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of our sales and marketing employees, including sales commissions and incentives, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, marketing programs, including lead generation, costs of our annual InstructureCon user conference, acquisition-related amortization expenses and allocated overhead costs. We defer and amortize on a straight-line basis sales commission costs related to acquiring new contracts over a period of benefit that we have determined to be generally four years. Customer relationships represent the estimated fair value of the acquired customer bases and are amortized over the estimated useful life of seven years. The trade names acquired are amortized over the estimated useful lives ranging from one to ten years.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of our development team, including payroll, benefits and stock-based compensation expense and allocated overhead costs. We capitalize certain software development costs that are attributable to developing new applications, features and adding incremental functionality to our platform. We amortize these costs to subscription and support cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the estimated life of the new application or incremental functionality, which is generally three years.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs and related expenses for executive, finance, legal, human resources, recruiting, employee-related information technology, administrative personnel, including payroll, benefits and stock-based compensation expense; professional fees for external legal, accounting and other consulting services; and allocated overhead costs.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest income, interest expense, and the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Interest expense is related to fees incurred to have access to our credit facilities. As we have expanded our international operations, our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies has increased.
23
Income Tax Benefit
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. These foreign jurisdictions have statutory tax rates different from those in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rates will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to U.S. income and changes in tax laws. The tax benefit at March 31, 2023 consists of decreases in U.S. Federal and state deferred tax liabilities due to current year pretax book loss, net of valuation allowance recorded.
Results of Operations
The following tables set forth our results of operations for the periods presented and as a percentage of our total revenue for those periods. The data has been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of financial results to be achieved in future periods.

Other income (expense), net includes interest income and expense and the impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Other income (expense), net increased $3.9 million for the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of increased interest expense of $4.9 million due to interest rate increases on our Senior Term Loan (as defined below), an increase in expense from disposal of fixed assets of $0.2 million and an increase in expense related to the exit of leased property of $0.1 million. These increases in expense were offset by an increase in interest income of $1.3 million.

Income tax benefit decreased $0.2 million for the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023. Income tax benefit consists of current and deferred taxes for U.S. and foreign income taxes. Due to the Company’s NOL carryforward position, the decrease in the income tax benefit was driven mainly by an increase in pretax book loss recognized in the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023, net of 2023 valuation allowance recorded. The impact of foreign tax rate changes accounted for additional benefit recorded through March 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $109.1 million and $190.3 million, respectively, which was held for working capital purposes, as well as the available balance of our Senior Term Loan, (as defined below). As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022, our cash equivalents were comprised of money market funds. We expect our operating cash flows to improve as we increase our operational efficiency and experience economies of scale.
We have financed our operations through cash received from operations and debt financing. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, our Senior Term Loan and cash provided by sales of our solutions and services will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and cash needs for at least the next 12 months and beyond. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the introduction of new and enhanced products and services offerings, and the continuing market acceptance of our products. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services and technologies.
Our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations primarily consist of our Senior Term Loan and operating facility lease obligations, including certain letters of credit. See the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our 2022 10-K for more details.
We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies, this could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations.
A portion of our customers pay in advance for subscriptions, a portion of which is recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue consists of the unearned portion of billed fees for our subscriptions, which is later recognized as revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited), we had deferred revenue of $215.7 million, of which $203.2 million was recorded as a current liability and is expected to be recorded to revenue in the next 12 months, provided all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. As of December 31, 2022, we had deferred revenue of $289.4 million, of which $275.6 million was recorded as a current liability.
The following table shows our cash flows for the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

Our cash flows are subject to seasonal fluctuations. A significant portion of our contracts have terms that coincide with our customers’ typical fiscal year-end of June 30. Historical experience has shown an increase in new and renewed contracts as well as anniversary billings, all of which immediately precede the beginning of our academic customers’ typical fiscal year-end. We typically invoice SaaS fees annually upfront with credit terms of net 30 or 60 days. In turn, our cash flows from operations are affected by this seasonality and are typically reflected in higher cash flow, accounts receivable and deferred revenue balances for the second and third quarter of each year.
Credit Facility
On March 24, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders and Golub Capital Markets LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Golub Capital Markets LLC and Owl Rock Capital Advisors LLC, as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided for a senior secured term loan facility (the “Initial Term Loan”) in an original aggregate principal amount of $775.0 million, which was supplemented by an incremental term loan pursuant to the First Incremental Amendment and Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2020, in a principal amount of $70.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan” and, together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loan”). The Credit Agreement also provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”). The Revolving Credit Facility included a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit.
On October 29, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent (the “2021 Credit Agreement”), governing our senior secured credit facilities (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”), consisting of a $500.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the “Senior Term Loan”) and a $125.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Revolver”). The proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facilities were used, in addition to cash on hand, to (1) refinance, in full, all existing indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (the “Refinancing”), (2) pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the entry into the 2021 Credit Agreement and the Refinancing, and (3) finance working capital needs of the Company and its subsidiaries for general corporate purposes.
All of the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Senior Revolver includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit. Any issuance of letters of credit will reduce the amount available under the Senior Revolver. As of March 31, 2023 there have not been any borrowings incurred under the Senior Revolver.
The Senior Term Loan has a seven-year maturity and the Senior Revolver has a five-year maturity. Commencing June 30, 2022, we are required to repay the Senior Term Loan portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in quarterly principal installments of 0.25% of the aggregate original principal amount of the Senior Term Loan at closing, with the balance payable at maturity. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest, at the Company’s option, at: (i) Base Rate equal to the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate,” (c) a Eurocurrency Rate for such date plus 1.00% and (d) 1.00%; or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate (provided that the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to the Senior Term Loan shall not be less than 0.50% per annum). The Applicable Rate for the Senior Term Loan with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans is 2.75% per annum and 1.75% per annum for Base Rate Loans. The Applicable Rate for the Senior Revolver with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, SONIA Loans, and Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans ranges from 2.00% to 2.5% subject to the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, while the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans ranges from 1.00% to 1.50% subject to the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. We are also required to pay an unused commitment fee to the lenders under the Senior Revolver at the Applicable Commitment Fee of the average daily unutilized commitments. The Applicable Commitment Fee ranges from 0.40% to 0.50% subject to the Company’s Consolidated First Lien Never Leverage Ratio.
As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited), we had outstanding borrowings of $495.0 million on the Senior Term Loan, no outstanding borrowings under our Senior Revolver and $4.3 million outstanding under letters of credit.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and other non-cash charges, net.
29
Net cash used in operating activities during the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023 was $80.9 million, which was attributable to a net loss of $11.9 million adjusted for certain non-cash items, including $9.6 million of stock-based compensation expense, $35.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $0.3 million of amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, $3.1 million of deferred income taxes and $0.2 million of other non-cash items. Working capital sources of cash included a net decrease of $66.0 million in deferred revenue and accounts receivable resulting from the seasonality of our business where a significant number of our customer agreements occur in the second and third quarter each year. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $39.6 million, while accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $7.2 million, lease liabilities decreased by $1.9 million, other liabilities decreased by $0.3 million, deferred commissions decreased by $0.9 million, and right-of-use assets decreased by $1.0 million.
Net cash used in operating activities during the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2022 was $65.9 million, which was attributable to a net loss of $5.5 million adjusted for certain non-cash items, including $7.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, $34.7 million depreciation and amortization and $0.3 million in amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. These amounts were offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in other non-cash items and $3.4 million to deferred income taxes. Working capital sources of cash included a net decrease of $51.9 million in deferred revenue and accounts receivable resulting from the seasonality of our business where a significant number of our customer agreements occur in the second and third quarter each year. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $34.7 million, while lease liabilities decreased by $1.5 million, other liabilities decreased by $1.1 million, accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $11.7 million, deferred commissions decreased by $0.3 million, and right-of-use assets decreased by $1.2 million.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities have consisted of business acquisitions, property and equipment purchases for computer-related equipment and capitalization of software development costs. Capitalized software development costs are related to new applications or improvements to our existing software platform that expand the functionality for our customers.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million during each of the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023 and unaudited three months ended March 31, 2022, consisting of purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities have consisted of proceeds from issuance of common stock from employee equity plans, shares withheld for tax withholdings on vesting of RSUs and repayments of long-term debt.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.8 million, which consisted of $3.3 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock from employee equity plans, offset by $1.3 million of shares repurchased for tax withholdings on vesting of restricted stock units, and a $1.3 million payment on long-term debt.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2.8 million, which consisted of $4.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock from employee equity plans, offset by $1.3 million of shares repurchased for tax withholdings on vesting of restricted stock units.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to those described in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
For information on recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their U.S. GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP Operating Income
We define non-GAAP operating income as loss from operations excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, transaction costs, sponsor costs, other non-recurring costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue relating to the Take-Private Transaction and Certica, Impact and Elevate Data Sync acquisitions that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations. We believe non-GAAP operating income is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Although we exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from this non-GAAP measure, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
The following table provides a reconciliation of loss from operations to non-GAAP operating income for each of the periods indicated:

Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets, net of proceeds from disposals of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow facilitates period-to-period comparisons of liquidity. We consider free cash flow to be an important measure because it measures the amount of cash we generate and reflects changes in working capital. We use free cash flow in conjunction with traditional U.S. GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our liquidity, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our liquidity.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash used in operating activities to free cash flow for each of the periods indicated:

Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as earnings before debt-related costs, including interest and loss on debt extinguishment, benefit for taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We further adjust EBITDA to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including stock-based compensation, transaction costs, sponsor costs, other non-recurring costs, effects of foreign currency transaction gains, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue relating to the Take-Private Transaction and Certica, Impact and Elevate Data Sync acquisitions. Although we exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from this non-GAAP measure, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.
We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses and certain variable charges.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

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, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. All statements other than statements of historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions, including those relating to future events or our future financial performance and financial guidance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “intend” or “continue,” the negative of terms like these or other comparable terminology, and other words or terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or our plans and objectives for future operations, growth initiatives, or strategies are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, or currently unknown to us. Our assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate and cause actual events or results to differ materially from our expectation or projections. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including:
33
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this prospectus in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
34
We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates and inflation. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Due to our international operations, we have foreign currency risks related to operating expense denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, particularly the euro. Most of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore our revenue is not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, which are primarily in the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Our condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk or other derivative financial instruments. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited), a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $109.1 million and $190.3 million as of March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022, respectively, consisting of cash and money market accounts in highly rated financial institutions. With the exception of cash, these interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. To date, fluctuations in our interest income have not been significant. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates.
At March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022, we also had in place a $125.0 million Senior Revolver and approximately $495.0 million on our Senior Term Loan. As of March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Senior Revolver. The Senior Revolver bears interest at 2.5% whereas the Senior Term Loan bears interest at 2.75% plus a variable applicable rate. At March 31, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022, the applicable rate was 5.10% and 3.37%, respectively.
We have an agreement to maintain cash balances at a financial institution of no less than $4.3 million as collateral for several letters of credit for purposes of securing certain of the Company’s obligations under facility leases and other contractual arrangements.
35
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to, and were effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent limitation on the effectiveness of internal control. The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are, and from time to time may be, party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. As our growth continues, we may become party to an increasing number of litigation matters and claims. The outcome of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of these matters could materially affect our future results of operations, cash flows or financial position. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings that in the opinion of management, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
As discussed previously in February 2021, Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System and Q. Wade Billings filed a class action lawsuit in the Delaware Cour of Chancery against Instructure Holdings, LLC, certain Thoma Bravo entities and certain directors and officers of Instructure Holdings, LLC relating to the Take Private Transaction. The complaint alleged that such directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Take Private Transaction, and that Instructure Holdings, LLC and Thoma Bravo aided and abetted such breaches. Plaintiffs sought damages of an unidentified amount, interest, and attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses.
