2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022,2023, which are included in ourthe Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023.February 29, 2024. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023,2024, or for any other period.

In December 2022, we had a reduction in force event that eliminated certain positions and changed the reporting hierarchy and job responsibilities for certain people in our general and administrative function. This resulted in the expense related to these individuals being classified as sales and marketing expenses, when previously, they had been classified as general and administrative expense. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. For the period ended March 31, 2022 we reclassified $1.5 million from general and administrative expenses to sales and marketing expenses.

Basis of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include ourthe Company’s accounts and the accounts of our wholly ownedthe Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. References to "fiscal 2024," for example, refer to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires certain financial instruments to be recorded at fair value; requires ourthe Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affectin the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of theCompany’s consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenuenotes thereto.

Significant estimates and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates; judgments, and assumptions made by management in these consolidated financial statements include: allocating

the allowance for credit losses;
constrained revenue;
variable consideration for revenue recognition;
the period of benefit associated with costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts;
the useful lives of intangible assets; and
the recognition, constrained revenue; the amortization period formeasurement and valuation of current and deferred commissions; the allowance for credit lossesincome taxes and a determinationuncertain tax positions;

Because of the use of estimates inherent in financial reporting process actual results could differ and the differences could be material to ourthe Company’s consolidated financial statementsstatements.

Segment and geographic informationRecent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

OurASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires all public entities, including those public entities that have a single reportable segment to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the individual or the name of the group or committee identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). ASU 2023-07 is oureffective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s but does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires all entities to provide more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate requirements such as (1) the disclosure of the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in the unrecognized tax benefits balance in the next 12 months, (2) or making a statement that an estimate of the range cannot be made, and (3) the disclosure of the cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference when a deferred tax liability is not recognized because of the exceptions to comprehensive recognition of deferred taxes related to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures. Lastly, the amendments in this Update replace the term ‘public entity’ as currently used in Topic 740 with the term ‘public business entity’. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company but does not expect it to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standard updates effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2023 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and investment securities and are stated at fair value.

Restricted cash

We maintain a portion of amounts collected through our online payment processor with the online payment processor as a security deposit for future chargebacks. Additionally, we have amounts on deposit with certain financial institutions that serve as collateral for letters of credit and lease deposits.

Marketable securities

All marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value. We determine the appropriate classification of our investments in debt securities at the time of purchase. Securities may have stated maturities greater than one year. All marketable securities are considered available to support current operations and are classified as current assets.Recognition

For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, our management first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value and recognized in other

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

income (expense) in the results of operations. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, our management evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, an allowance is recorded for the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis of the security. Impairment losses attributable to credit loss factors are charged against the allowance when management believes an available-for-sale security is uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Any unrealized losses from declines in fair value below the amortized cost basis as a result of non-credit loss factors is recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, along with unrealized gains. Realized gains and losses and declines in fair value, if any, on available-for-sale securities are included in other income (expense) in the results of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value and include unbilled receivables. Agreements with enterprise customers can contain promotional billing periods. Since merchants have full access to the functionality of our platform upon contract execution, and we have enforceable rights to receive payments for the promotional period if the contract is early terminated, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract life. When this occurs, we recognize revenue in advance of invoicing creating an unbilled receivable. In addition, some of our partner and services revenue agreements include substantive minimums where the consideration paid varies over the term of the contract and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for credit losses, are not collateralized, and do not bear interest. Payment terms range from due immediately to due within 90 days. The accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included unbilled receivables of $20.1 million and $19.9 million, respectively. Unbilled receivables at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 includes contract assets related to enterprise subscription solutions of $15.2 million and $15.7 million, and PSR customers of $4.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

We assess the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and maintain an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable deemed uncollectible. The balance of accounts receivable includes accounts that have been invoiced but unpaid, and unbilled amounts, which represents revenues recognized in advance of billing. We analyze both the invoiced accounts receivable portfolio and our unbilled accounts receivable for significant risks, historical collection activity, and an estimate of future collectability to determine the amount that we will ultimately collect. This estimate is analyzed quarterly and adjusted as necessary.

Identified risks pertaining to our invoiced accounts receivable, include the delinquency level, customer type, and current economic environment. The estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers, our assessment of the overall portfolio and general economic conditions. Identified risks pertaining to our subscription unbilled accounts receivable include customer type, customer activity on our platform, historical contract termination rates, and customer delinquency. The estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based primarily on historical contract termination rates, customer delinquency rates and an assessment of the overall portfolio and general economic conditions. The identified risk related to our unbilled accounts related to our PSR business are current partner engagement and activity, the financial wherewithal of the partner, the partner’s future plans and the ability to execute on the plans, and their liquidity and overall financial position. The estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based primarily on the specific evaluation of the partner based on current level of engagement with BigCommerce, their overall financial position and general economic conditions.

The allowance for credit losses consisted of the following:

The quarter over quarter decrease in the provision for credit losses was due to a decrease in our general reserve related to our subscription accounts receivable due to improved collections which was partially offset by an increase in our reserve related to unbilled receivables.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the related lease terms (if shorter).

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

Estimated
Useful Life

Computer equipment

3 years

Computer software

3 years

Furniture and fixtures

5 years

Leasehold improvements

1-10 years

Maintenance and repairs that do not enhance or extend the asset’s useful life are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with groups of assets used in combination over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. If projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset group, impairment is recorded for any excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets in the period in which the determination is made.

Research and development and internal use software

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our research and development staff, which include: salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation; the cost of certain third-party contractors; and allocated overhead. Expenditures for research and development, other than internal use software costs, are expensed as incurred.

Software development costs associated with internal use software, which are incurred during the application development phase and meet other requirements under the guidance ASC-350 are capitalized. As of March 31, 2023, we have capitalized $4.4 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $0.3 million. As of December 31, 2022, software costs capitalized were $2.8 million, net of accumulated depreciation of $0.0 million. Amortization on internally developed software was $0.3 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate for most leases. The right-of-use (“ROU”) asset is measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the lease liability and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. We record a ROU asset and a lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We also lease office space under short-term arrangements and have elected not to include these arrangements in the ROU asset or lease liabilities.

Business combinations

We record tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. We use best estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to, future expected cash flows, expected asset lives, and discount rates, to assign a fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations as of the acquisition date. These estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisition related expenses

Acquisition related expenses consist primarily of cash payments for third-party acquisition costs and other acquisition related expenses. We recognized $4.1 million and $12.7 million in acquisition related expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, $4.1 million was recognized in connection with contingent compensation arrangements entered with our fiscal 2021 acquisitions. We entered into contingent compensation arrangements, in

11


Table of Content

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

which payments will be made or have been made, as applicable, after the first and second anniversaries of the closing or upon the earlier achievement of certain product and financial milestones. The compensation arrangements are contingent upon continued post-acquisition employment with us. During the first period, earlier achievement of product and financial milestones were not met. We account for the cost related to the first and second contingent compensation arrangement payments over the service periods of 12 and 24 months, respectively, beginning on the acquisition date, assuming earlier achievement of product and financial milestones is unlikely to be met.

Goodwill and other acquired intangibles, net

We assess goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. When we elect to perform a qualitative assessment and conclude it is not more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is less

than its carrying value, no further assessment of that reporting unit is necessary; otherwise, a quantitative assessment is performed and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, impairment is recorded.

We evaluate the recoverability of finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such asset may not be recoverable. If such review determines the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived asset is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such asset is reduced to its fair value.

Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We evaluate the estimated remaining useful life of these assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If we revise the estimated useful life assumption for any assets, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized over the revised estimated useful life on a prospective basis.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax balances are adjusted to reflect tax rates based on currently enacted tax laws, which will be in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period of the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized. To date, we have provided a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as we believe the objective and verifiable evidence of our historical pretax net losses outweighs any positive evidence of its forecasted future results. We will continue to monitor the positive and negative evidence, and we will adjust the valuation allowance as sufficient objective positive evidence becomes available.

We recognize the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely upon its technical merits at the reporting date. The unrecognized tax benefit is the difference between the tax benefit recognized and the tax benefit claimed on our income tax return. All of our gross unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would not affect its effective tax rate, but would be recorded as an adjustment to equity before consideration of valuation allowances. We do not expect unrecognized tax benefits to decrease within the next twelve months. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2023, we have not accrued any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. We believe that all material tax positions in the current and prior years have been analyzed and properly accounted for and that the risk of additional material uncertain tax positions that have not been identified is remote.

Stock-based compensation

We issue stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance based restricted stock units (“PSUs”). Stock-based compensation related to stock options is measured at the date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options awarded at the date of grant. Stock-based compensation related to restricted stock units is measured at the date of grant, net of estimated forfeitures, and recognized ratably over the service period. Stock-basedcompensation related to performance based restricted stock units is measured at the date of grant and recognized using the accelerated attribution method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the remaining service period, when deemed probable.

Net payments on the settlement of equity-based awards were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which consisted of $1.4 million for tax payments related to the net settlement of equity awards and $1.1 million for proceeds from stock option exercises.

Foreign currency

Our functional and reporting currency and the functional and reporting currency of our subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured to U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are measured in U.S. dollars using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are measured using the actual exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses

resulting from re-measurement are recorded within Other expense in our consolidated statements of operations and were not material for all periods presented.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges are comprised of costs incurred as a result of our December 15, 2022 reduction in force as well as an impairment of the right of use asset triggered by our decision to cease using a significant portion of certain leased facilities.

Subscription solutions revenue consists primarily of platform subscription fees from all plans. It also includesplans and recurring professional services and sales of SSL certificates.services. Subscription solutions are charged monthly, quarterly, or annually for ourthe Company’s customers to sell their products and process transactions on ourthe Company’s platform. Subscription solutions are generally charged per online store and are based on the store’s subscription plan. Monthly subscription fees for Pro and Enterpriseenterprise plans are adjusted if a customer’s gross merchandise volume ("GMV") or orders processed are above specified plan thresholds on a trailing twelve-month basis. For most subscription solutions arrangements, excluding enterprise subscription plans, we havethe Company has determined we meetthe Company meets the variable consideration allocation exception and, therefore, recognizerecognizes fixed monthly fees or a pro-rata portion of quarterly or annual fees and any transaction fees as revenue in the month they are earned. EnterpriseDuring the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company adopted a new pricing structure that provided a discount to the contractual price for customers who pay quarterly or annually. Prior to this date, enterprise subscription plans includeincluded an upfront promotional period in order to incentivize the customer to enter into a subscription arrangement. ForIn both of these Enterprise arrangements,scenarios, the total subscription fee is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Revenue recognized in advance of billing is recorded as unbilled accounts receivable. In determining the amount of revenue to be recognized, we determinethe Company determines whether collection of the entire transaction price is probable. Only amounts deemed probable are recognized as revenue. Key factors in this determination are historical contract termination rates and general economic factors.

Professional services, which primarily consist of education packages, launch services, solutions architecting, implementation consulting, and catalog transfer services, are generally billed and recognized as revenue when delivered.

Contracts with our retail customers are generally month-to-month, while contracts with our enterprise customers generally range from one to three years. Contracts are typically non-cancellable and do not contain refund-type provisions. Revenue is presented net of sales tax and other taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities.

Partner and services

OurThe Company’s partner and services revenue consists ofincludes revenue share, partner technology integrations, and marketing services provided to partners. Revenue share relates to fees earned by ourthe Company’s partners from customers using ourthe Company’s platform, where we havethe Company has an arrangement with such partners to share such fees as they occur. Revenue share is recognized at the time the earning activity is complete, which is generally monthly.monthly and variable based on customer usage on the platform. Revenue for partner technology integrations is recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract commencing when the integration has been completed. Revenue for marketing services are recognized either at the time the earning activity is complete, or ratably over the length of the contract, depending on the nature of the obligations in the contract. Payments received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when the obligation is completed.

WeThe Company also derivederives revenue from the sales of website themes and applications upon delivery.

We recognizeThe Company recognizes partner revenue share from the sales of third-party applications, on a net basis as we havethe Company has determined that we arethe Company is the agent in ourthe Company’s arrangements with third-party application providers. All other revenue is recognized on a gross basis, as we havethe Company has determined we arethe Company is the principal in these arrangements.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.

OurThe Company’s subscription contracts are generally comprised of a single performance obligation to provide access to ourthe Company’s platform, but can include additional performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations where the contracted price differs from the standalone selling price (“SSP”) for any distinct good or service, wethe Company may be required to allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using ourthe Company’s best estimate of SSP. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. A contract'scontract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. We have determined that our standard list priceThe primary method used to estimate SSP is our best approximationthe observable prices of SSP.products or services sold or priced separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers.

Contracts with ourthe Company’s technology solution partners may include multiple performance obligations, which can include integrations and marketing activities. In determining whether integration services are distinct from hosting services we considerthe Company considers various factors. These considerations includedinclude the level of integration, interdependency, and interrelation between the implementation and hosting service. We haveservices. The Company has concluded that the integration services included in contracts with hosting obligations are not distinct. As a result, we deferthe Company defers any arrangement fees for integration services and recognize such amounts over the life of the hosting obligation commencing when the integration has been completed. To determine if marketing activities are distinct, we considerthe Company considers the nature of the promise in the contract, the timing of payment, and the partner expectations. Additional consideration for some partner contracts varies based on the level of customer activity on the platform. Certain agreements contain minimum guarantees of revenue share. These contracts are evaluated to determine if the guaranteed minimum is substantive. If the minimum is deemed substantive, revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the agreement, which results in a contract asset that is included in unbilled receivables.agreement. For most of ourthe Company’s contracts, we havethe Company has determined that we meet the variable consideration allocation exception has been met and therefore recognize these variable fees are recognized in the period they are earned.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections can result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, contract assets, and deferred revenue.

Contract Assets

Billings scheduled to occur after the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue recognition has occurred result in contract assets. Contract assets are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period in Prepaid expenses and other assets, net. Typically, contract assets arise from agreements that have tiered billings over the contract life,

promotional billing periods, and partner and services revenue agreements that include substantive minimums. Net contract assets were $12.7 million as of March 31, 2024 as compared to $11.9 million as of December 31, 2023.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services to customers and partners. The Company assesses the collectability of outstanding contract assets on an ongoing basis and maintain a reserve which is included in the allowance for credit losses for contract assets deemed uncollectible. The Company analyzes the contract asset portfolio for significant risks by considering historical collection experience and forecasting future collectability to determine what will ultimately be collected from its customers and partners, delinquency level and customer type have been identified as the primary specific risk affecting the Company’s contract assets, and the estimate for losses is analyzed annually and adjusted as necessary.The Company has provisioned $1.3 million and $1.5 million for credit losses related to contract assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of amounts that have been received from customers in advance of the performance obligation being satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue from deferred revenue when the services are performed and the corresponding revenue recognition criteria are met. Amounts recognized from deferred revenue represent primarily revenue from the sale of subscription solutions, integration, and marketing services. The Company recognized $15.9 million of previously deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company experienced an increase in the deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, which was primarily driven by the Company's continued shift to annual billing cycles.

Remaining performance obligation

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $171.8 million of remaining performance obligations, which represents contracted revenue minimums that have not yet been recognized, including amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Remaining performance obligation is subject to future economic risks, including bankruptcies, regulatory changes and other market factors. The Company expects to recognize approximately 60 percent of the remaining performance obligations as revenue in the following 12 month period, and the remaining balance in the periods thereafter.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel-related costs, including: stock-based compensation expenses for customer support and professional services personnel; costs of maintaining and securing our infrastructure and platform; allocation of overhead costs and credit card processing; and amortization expense associated with capitalized internal-use software;software.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value and allocationinclude both billed and unbilled receivables. Accounts receivable are net of overhead costs.an allowance for credit losses, are not collateralized, and do not bear interest. Payment terms range from due immediately to due within 90 days. The accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included unbilled receivables of $10.7 million, and $11.0 million, respectively.

The Company assesses the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and maintains an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable deemed uncollectible. The Company analyzes grouped customers by similar risk profiles, along with the invoiced accounts receivable portfolio and unbilled accounts receivable for significant risks, historical collection activity, and an estimate of future collectability to determine the amount that the Company will ultimately collect. This estimate is analyzed annually and adjusted as necessary.

Identified risks pertaining to the Company’s invoiced accounts receivable include the delinquency level and customer type. The estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances, historical customer delinquency, and assessment of the overall portfolio and general economic conditions.

DeferredThe Company values stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the date of grant and recognizes the relates stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, which is typically four years.

The Company values RSUs at the closing market price on the date of grate. RSUs typically vest in equal installments over a four-year period, subject to continued service, and compensation expense is recognized straight-line over the requisite service period.

The Company grants PSUs which provide for shares of common stock to be earned based on the Company's total stockholder return compared to the Russell 2000 index, and referred to as market-based awards. The Company values these market-based awards on the grant date using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The determination of fair value is affected by the Company's stock price and a number of assumptions including the expected volatility and the risk-free interest rate. The Company assumes no dividend yield and recognizes stock-based compensation expense ratably from grant date over the performance period of the award. The market-based awards will cliff-vest at the end of the three-year period ranging from 0 percent to 200 percent of the target number of PSUs granted.

The Company also grants PSUs which provide for shares of common stock to be earned based on its attainment of the Company's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") and revenue relative to a target specified in the applicable agreement, and are referred to as Company performance-based awards. The Company values these awards at the closing market price on the date of grant. The vesting of Company performance-based awards is conditioned upon the achievement of certain targets and will vest in three annual tranches in a percentage of the target number of shares between 0% to 200%. The Company recognizes stock based compensation expense over the performance period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. Adjustments to stock based compensation expense are made, as needed, each reporting period based on changes in our estimate of the number of units that are probable of vesting.

The net increase in the deferred revenue balance for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily due to increases in SaaS related subscriptions. Amounts recognized from deferred revenue represent primarily revenue from the sale of subscription solutions, integration, and marketing services.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $155.0 million of remaining performance obligations, which represents contracted revenue minimums that have not yet been recognized, including amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.

4. Fair value measurements cash equivalents and marketable securities

Financial instruments carried at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities. The carrying amount of accounts receivable approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, fair value is the price to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. When determining fair value, we considerthe Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing asset or liabilities.

The accounting standard for fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, the first two of which are considered observable and the last unobservable. The standard requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include ourthe Company’s data.

The following table presents information about the Company’s cash equivalents, marketable securities and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The Company recognizes employee severance costs when payments are probable and amounts are estimable or when notification occurs, depending on whether the severance costs paid are part of the Company’s general plan. Facilities costs related to contracts without future benefit or contract termination are recognized at the earlier of the contract termination or the cease-use dates. Other exit-related costs are recognized as incurred.

As a result, in 2022, we evaluated the recoverability of our right-of-use assetsprofessional service and determined the carrying values were not fully recoverable. We calculated the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to its estimated fair value based on inputs derived from market prices for similar assets. As a result, we impaired $3.7 million in right-of-use assets and have recorded this amount in Restructuring Charges on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the previous year ended December 31, 2022.

Before July 1, 2026, noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2021, if the Last Reported Sale Price (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) per share of Common Stock (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) percent) of the Conversion Price (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) for each of at least twenty (20) Trading Days (as defined in the indenture for the notes) (whether or not consecutive) during the thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five (5) consecutive Business Days (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) immediately after any ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (such ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period, the “Measurement Period”) if the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than ninety eightninety-eight percent (98%) percent) of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) on such Trading Day; (3) if we callthe Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption, such Notes called for redemption may be converted any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately before the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. From and after July 1, 2026, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no conditions for the notes to convert have been called or met.

WeThe Company will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of ourits common stock or a combination of cash and shares of ourits common stock, at ourthe Company’s election. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 13.678313.68 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $73.11 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, such as distribution of stock dividends or stock splits.

WeThe Company may not redeem the Notes prior to October 7, 2024. The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at ourthe Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after October 7, 2024 and on or before the 25th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of ourthe Company’s common stock exceeds 130%130 percent of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we sendthe Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date we sendthe Company sends such notice. The redemption price will be a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Pursuant to the Partial Redemption Limitation (as defined in the indenture for the Notes), wethe company may not elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes unless at least $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time we sendthe Company sends the related redemption notice.

If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture for the Notes) occurs, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require usthe Company to repurchase their Notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.

In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, wethe Company recorded the Notes as a liability at face value. The effective interest rate for the Notes was 0.84%. percent. Transaction costs of $10.0 million, attributable to the issuance of the Notes were recorded as a direct deduction from the related debt liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes.

Debt fees

Lender fees that were paid upfront to the lenders and debt issuance fees paid to third parties are recorded as a discount to the carrying amount of debt and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

2021 Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, wethe Company used $35.6 million of the net proceeds from the Notes to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain financial institutions.

The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to holders of ourthe Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments we arethe Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Notes upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market price per share of ourthe Company’s common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Call Transactions with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

The Capped Call Transactions have an initial cap price of approximately $106.34 per share, which represents a premium of 100% percent over the last reported sale prices of ourthe Company’s common stock of $53.17 per share on September 9, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. Collectively, the Capped Call Transactions cover, initially, the number of shares of ourthe Company’s common stock underlying the Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes.

The Capped Call Transactions do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to ourthe Company’s common stock. The premiums paid for the Capped Call Transaction have been included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity.

2020 Equity incentive plan

In 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Equity Incentive Plans – Plan, or “2020 Plan”, under which stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and other cash-based or stock-based awards may be granted to employees, consultants and directors. Shares of common stock that are issued and available for issuance under the 2020 Plan consist of authorized, but unissued or reacquired shares of common stock or any combination thereof. The Company has granted awards of stock options, restricted stock units, and market-based and performance-based restricted stock units under the 2020 Plan.

A total of 3,873,885 shares of common stock were initially authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan. This share reserve automatically increased on January 1, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and will increase on each subsequent January 1st through and including January 1, 2031, by an amount equal to the smaller of (a) 5% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 and (b) an amount determined by the board of directors. On January 1, 2024, 2023 and January 1, 2022 the share reserve increased by 3,820,681 shares, 3,695,569 shares and 3,616,312 shares, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, a total of 1,096,370 registered shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company registered an additional 9,548,587 shares on Form S-8.

Stock Options

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we granted an aggregate of 661,378 shares of stockStock options withgenerally vest and become exercisable over a weighted average exercise price of $10.42 per share. The fair value of options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions (i) expected term of 6.1 years, (ii) expected volatility of 67%, (iii) risk-free interest rate 4.2% and (iv) expected dividend yield of 0%.

Restricted Stock Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we granted an aggregate of 1,522,237 RSUs with a weighted grant-date fair value of $10.42. The RSUs vest over the requisite service period of 4 years from the date of grant, subject to continued service.

21The Company estimated its future stock price volatility using a combination of its observed option-implied volatilities and its peer historical volatility calculations. Management believes this is the best estimate of the expected volatility over the expected life of its stock options. The estimated life for the stock options is based on the weighted average of the remaining vesting term and the remaining contractual life of each award. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate for a U.S. government security with the same estimated life at the time of the option grant. The estimated forfeiture rate applied is based on historical forfeiture rates. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option pricing model.

Ourfiscal 2024. The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on estimated effective tax rates derived from an estimate of annual consolidated earnings before taxes, adjusted for nondeductible expenses, other permanent items, valuation allowances, and any applicable income tax credits.

OurThe Company’s provision for income taxes reflected an effective tax rate of approximately(4.75) percent and (0.90)% and (0.31%) percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, ourthe Company’s effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% percent primarily due to ourthe Company’s valuation allowance offsetting the benefits of losses. CurrentThe Company’s current income tax expenses and benefits consist primarily of state current income tax expense, deferred income tax expense relating to the tax amortization of acquired goodwill and current income tax expense from foreign operations.

To date, we haveThe Company has provided a valuation allowance against most of ourthe Company’s deferred tax assets as we believeit believes the objective and verifiable evidence of ourthe Company’s historical pretax net losses outweighs any positive evidence of our forecasted future results. WeThe Company will continue to monitor the positive and negative evidence and will adjust the valuation allowance as sufficient objective positive evidence becomes available.

Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Because we havethe Company has reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023,2024, and 2022,2023, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders for the period presented because the potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation.Series 1 and Series 2 have the same rights and privileges except Series 2 are not entitled to vote on any matter except as required by law. A pre-IPO preferred shareholder received Series 2 upon the conversion of their preferred shares at the time of our initial public offering, all of which were subsequently converted to shares of Series 1 common stock. There are no Series 2 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2023. Series 1 common stock is referred to as common stock throughout, unless otherwise noted.

All of our stores run on a single code base and share a global, multi-tenant architecture purpose built for security, high performance, and innovation. Our platform serves stores in a wide variety of sizes, product categories, and purchase types, including B2C and B2B. Our customers include Ben & Jerry’s, Molton Brown, Burrow, SC Johnson, SkullCandy, SoloStove and Vodafone.

We offer access to our platform on a subscription basis. We serve customers with subscription plans tailored to their size and feature needs. For our larger customers, our Enterprise plan offers our full feature set at a monthly subscription price tailored to each business. For SMBs, BigCommerce Essentials offerswe offer three retail plans: Standard, Plus, and Pro, priced at $29.95, $79.95,$29, $79, and $299.95$299 per month (our "Essentials" plans) when paidpre-paid annually, or $39, $105, and $399 per month (our "Essentials plans"), when paid monthly, respectively. Our Essentials plans include GMV thresholds with programmatic upgrades built in as merchants exceed each plan’s threshold.

Our differentiated Open SaaS technology approach combines the flexibility and customization potential of open source software with the performance, security, usability, and value benefits of multi-tenant SaaS. This combination helps businesses turn digital transformation into competitive advantage. While some software conglomerate providers attempt to lock customers into their proprietary suites, we focus on the configurability and flexibility of our open platform, enabling each business to optimize their ecommerce approach based on their specific needs.

Partners are essential to our open strategy. We believe we possess one of the deepest and broadest ecosystems of integrated technology solutions in the ecommerce industry. We strategically partner with, rather than compete against, the leading providers in adjacent categories, including payments, shipping, POS, CMS, CRM,point of sale, content management system, customer relationship management, and ERP.enterprise resource planning. We focus our research and development investments in our core product to create a best-of-breed ecommerce platform and co-market and co-sell with our strategic technology partners to our mutual prospects and customers. As a result, we earn high-margin revenue share from a subset of our strategic technology partners, which complements the high gross margin of our core ecommerce platform.

Our business has achieved significant growth since our inception. We plan to continue to invest in our “Open SaaS” strategy, building new partnerships and continuing to develop a platform that offers best-of-breed functionality with the cost-effectiveness of multi-tenant SaaS. As we work to develop and deliver this platform for our customers, we will also invest and grow our business by acquiring additional customers to our platform, growing our revenue with existing customers, cross-selling owned and partner solutions to existing customers, expanding our presence in new markets and geographies, and considering targeted acquisitions that can enhance our service to customers.

Key factors affecting our performance

Our operational and financial results have been, and will continue to be, affected by a number of factors that present significant opportunities as well as risks and challenges, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” The key factors discussed below impacted our 2023 results or are anticipated to impact our future results.

“Go-to-Market” Strategy

BigCommerce was originally founded to serve the needs of small business customers. We have radically improved our product and service capabilities on behalf of the complex needs of midmarket and enterprise businesses, and we have successfully moved our customer base up-market as a result. We plan to continue our focus on enterprise businesses and we describe examples of advancements taken by us below.

KeyWe reorganized our business teams and leadership structure to introduce clear and unified end to end ownership of the customer. Sales, customer success, marketing, and our business development teams have congruent and clear targets that unify their efforts around customer success and growth. In the fourth quarter of 2023 we centralized end to end customer success ownership under our Company President. Our Company President now oversees all go-to-market efforts across the business, including the platform product, Feedonomics, and partner and services revenue.

New customer acquisition remains a priority, but it is now balanced with a strong focus on customer retention, satisfaction, and growth. This advancement includes a greater focus on portfolio cross-sell of Feedonomics and partner solutions.

We made a commitment to drive revenue growth and we are beginning to see progress in the first quarter since initiating many of the advancements discussed above. First quarter of fiscal 2024 net retention rates improved versus the prior quarter, and we continue to focus on customer success and growth.


Macroeconomic environment and customer spend

Consumer spending remains resilient across our major markets, though aggregate ecommerce is growing at lower rates than during the pandemic. We are encouraged overall by the underlying consumption signals that we are seeing in our business.

As described above, we are making progress in our go to market transformation. We continue to see longer sales cycle times relative to the pandemic and elevated scrutiny on platform investment spending. We believe sales cycle times and platform investment spending will improve, and we are transforming our go-to-market capabilities to capitalize on that improvement.

Business metrics

We review the following key business metrics to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. Increases or decreases in our key business metrics may not correspond with increases or decreases in our revenue. We have included the activityAs an example, some of Feedonomics in our key business metrics from the acquisition date of July 23, 2021, through March 31, 2023. Our key business metrics, such asinclude annual revenue run-rate ("ARR"), subscription annual revenue run rate,run-rate ("Subscription ARR") , average revenue per account, lifetime value ("LTV") to customer acquisition costs ("CAC") and others are calculated as of the end of the last month of the reporting period.

Annual revenue run-rate

We calculate annual revenue run-rate (“ARR”)ARR at the end of each month as the sum of: (1) contractual monthly recurring revenue at the end of the period, which includes platform subscription fees, invoiced growth adjustments, product feed management subscription fees, recurring professional services revenue, and other recurring revenue, multiplied by twelve to prospectively annualize recurring revenue, and (2) the sum of the trailing twelve-month non-recurring and variable revenue, which includes one-time partner integrations, one-time fees, payments revenue share, and any other revenue that is non-recurring and variable.

Subscription annual revenue run-rate

We calculate subscription annual revenue run-rate (“ARR”)Subscription ARR at the end of each month as the sum of contractual monthly recurring revenue at the end of the period, which includes platform subscription fees, invoiced growth adjustments, product feed management subscription fees, recurring professional services revenue, and other recurring revenue, multiplied by twelve to prospectively annualize recurring revenue.

Average revenue per account

We calculate average revenue per account (“ARPA”) at the end of a period by including customer-billed revenue and an allocation of partner and services revenue, where applicable. We bill customers for subscription solutions and professional services, and we

26


Table of Content

include both in ARPA for the reported period. For example, ARPA as of March 31, 2023,2024, includes all subscription solutions and professional services billed between January 1, 2023,2024, and March 31, 2023.2024. We allocate partner revenue, where applicable, primarily based on each customer’s share of GMV processed through that partner’s solution. Partner revenue that is not directly linked to customer usage of a partner’s solution is allocated based on each customer’s share of total platform GMV. Each account’s partner revenue allocation is calculated by taking the account’s trailing twelve-month partner revenue, then dividing by twelve to create a monthly average to apply to the applicable period in order to normalize ARPA for seasonality.

Enterprise Account metrics

To measure the effectiveness of our ability to execute against our growth strategy, particularly within the mid-market and enterprise lines of business, segments, we calculate ARR attributable to Enterprise Accounts. We define Enterprise Accounts as accounts with at least one unique Enterprise plan subscription or an enterprise level feed management subscription (collectively “Enterprise Accounts”). These accounts may have more than one Enterprise plan or a combination of Enterprise plans and Essentials plans.

Lifetime value to customer acquisition costs

We measure the efficiency of new customer acquisition by comparing the lifetime value of newly-acquired customers to the customer acquisition costs of the associated time period to get an “LTV:CAC ratio.” We calculate LTV as gross profit from new sales during the four quarters of any given year divided by the estimated future subscription churn rate.

Net revenue retention

We use net revenue retention (“NRR”) to evaluate our ability to maintain and expand our revenue with our account base of enterprise customers exceeding the ACV threshold over time. The total billings and allocated partner revenue, where applicable, for the measured period are divided by the total billings and allocated partner revenue for such accounts, corresponding to the period one year prior. An NRR greater than 100%100 percent implies positive net revenue retention. This methodology includes stores added to or subtracted from an account’s subscription during the previous twelve months. It also includes changes to subscription and partner and services revenue billings, and revenue reductions from stores or accounts that leave the platform during the previous one-year period. Net new accounts added after the previous one-year period are excluded from our NRR calculations. NRR for enterprise accounts was 111%100 percent and 118%111 percent for the years ended December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. We update our reported NRR at the end of each fiscal year and do not report quarterly changes in NRR.

Components of results of operations

Revenue

We generate revenue from two sources: (1) subscription solutions revenue and (2) partner and services revenue.

Subscription solutions revenue consists primarily of platform subscription fees from all plans. It also includesplans and recurring professional services and sales of SSL certificates.services. Subscription solutions are charged monthly, quarterly, or annually for our customers to sell their products and process transactions on our platform. Subscription solutions are generally charged per online store and are based on the store’s subscription plan. Our Enterprise plan contracts are generally for a fixed term of one12 to three years36 months and are non-cancelablenon-cancelable. In the first half of 2023, we implemented a new pricing strategy that provided enterprise merchants a discount for convenience. Certaina period of time from their contractual monthly fee. Prior to this new strategy, certain enterprise agreements contain promotional periods. SinceUnder both models, merchants have full access to the

functionality of our platform upon contract execution, and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract life. Our retail plans are generally month-to-month contracts. Monthly subscription fees for Pro and Enterprise plans are adjusted if a customer’s GMV or orders processed are outside of specified plan thresholds on a trailing twelve-month basis. Fixed monthly fees and any transaction charges related to subscription solutions are recognized as revenue in the month they are earned.

Subsequent to our acquisition27


Table of Feedonomics on July 23, 2021, subscription revenue also includes revenue from Feedonomics. Content

Through Feedonomics, BigCommerce provideswe provide feed management solutions under service contracts which are generally one year or less and, in many cases, month-to-month. These service types may be sold stand-alone or as part of a multi-service bundle (e.g. both marketplaces and advertising) and are billed monthly in arrears.

We generate partner revenue from our technology application ecosystem. Customers tailor their stores to meet their feature needs by integrating applications developed by our strategic technology partners. We enter into contracts with our strategic technology partners that are generally for one year or longer. We generate revenue from these contracts in three ways: (1) revenue-sharing arrangements, (2) technology integrations, and (3) partner marketing and promotion. We recognize revenue on a net basis from revenue-sharing arrangements when the underlying transaction occurs.

We also generate revenue from non-recurring professional services that we provide to complement the capabilities of our customers and their agency partners. Our services help improve customers’ time-to-market and the success of their businesses using BigCommerce. Our non-recurring services include education packages, launch services, solutions architecting, implementation consulting, and catalog transfer services.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of: (1) personnel-related costs (including stock-based compensation expense)expense and associated payroll costs) for our customer success teams, (2) costs that are directly related to hosting and maintaining our platform, (3) fees for processing customer payments such as credit card processing charges, (4) personnel and (4)other costs related to feed management, and (5) allocated costs, such as, depreciation, technology and facility costs. We expect that cost of revenue will increase in absolute dollars, but may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue from period to period. With

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of: (1) personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation expense)expense and associated payroll costs), (2) sales commissions, (3) marketing programs, (4) travel-related expenses, and (5) allocated overhead sales and sales support costs such as technology and facility costs. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating sales leads and establishing and promoting our brand. We plan to increase our investment in sales and marketing by hiring additional sales and marketing personnel, executing our go-to-market strategy globally and building our brand awareness. Incremental sales commissions for new customer contracts are deferred and amortized ratably over the estimated period of our relationship with such customers. No incremental sales commissions are incurred on renewals of customer contracts. We expect our sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars, but will decrease as a percentage of total revenue over time.

Research and development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation expense)expense and associated payroll costs) incurred in maintaining and developing enhancements to our ecommerce platform and allocated overhead costs. To date, softwareSoftware development costs eligible for capitalization have not been significant.associated with internal use software which are incurred during the application development phase and meet other requirements are capitalized.

We believe delivering new functionality is critical to attracting new customers and enhancing the success of existing customers. We expect to continue to make substantial investments in research and development. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars, but decrease as a percentage of total revenue over time, as we continue to leverage engineers in other low-cost international locations. We expense research and development expenses as incurred.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of: (1) personnel-related expenses (including stock-based compensation expense)expense and associated payroll costs) for finance, legal and compliance, and human resources, and IT, (2) external professional services, and (3) allocated overhead costs, such as technology and facility costs. We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company. We also expect to increase the size of our general and administrative functions to support the growth of our business. As a result, we expect that our general and administrative expenses willto increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuatewill decrease as a percentagepercent of total revenue from period to period.revenue.

The foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have different statutory tax rates than those of the United States. Additionally, certain of our foreign earnings may also be currently taxable in the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rate will vary depending on the relative proportion of foreign to domestic income, use of foreign tax credits, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, applicability of any valuation allowances, and changes in tax laws in jurisdictions in which we operate.

Liquidity and capital resources

We have incurred losses since our inceptionare committed to healthy cash flow generation and maycash management, and continue to generate negative operatingevaluate all of our spending to look for opportunities to drive improvements in cash flow, however we believe we have sufficient cashflow. Our improvements in internal systems and cash equivalentscontrols, together with discipline around accounts receivable and marketable securitiescollections has led to continue to fund operations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we issued approximately $345.0 millionimprovements in convertible debtworking capital and used $35.6 million of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions.accounts receivable.

Our operational short-term liquidity needs primarily include working capital for sales and marketing, research and development, and continued innovation. We have generated significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as reflected in our accumulated deficit and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the full year 2023 and may require additional capital resources to execute strategic initiatives to grow our business. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our growth rate, levels of revenue, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, market acceptance of our platform, the results of business initiatives, the timing of new product introductions, and the continued impact of the conflict in Ukraine and inflation on the global economy, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and our cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. In the future, we may attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of additional equity or debt financing.

In connectionthe future, we will continue to work with our acquisition of Feedonomics, we paid $32.5 millioncustomer base to move billings from monthly to annually in efforts to better manage cash at the first anniversary of closingflow and are obligated to make a payment of up to $32.5 million to be paid at the second anniversary of closing or upon the earlier achievement of certain milestones. We may elect to make the second anniversary payment partially or entirely in shares of our common stock in lieu of cash. If we choose to issue stock to settle the remaining payment, we will be required to register these shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The sale of additional equity would be dilutive to our stockholders. Additional debt financing could result in increased debt service obligations and more restrictive financial and operational covenants. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources,reduce churn. Additionally, we may not be ableattempt to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired,restructure our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.debt financing. From time to time, we may seek to repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire our convertible notes through cash repurchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases, redemptions or other transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements that we expect would materially affect our liquidity and capital resources.

Indebtedness

2021 Convertible senior notes

In September 2021, we issued $345,000,000$345.0 million principal amount of 0.25%0.25 percent Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”“Notes”). The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), dated as of September 14, 2021, between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

The Convertible Notes are our senior, unsecured obligations and are (i) equal in right of payment with our future senior, unsecured indebtedness; (ii) senior in right of payment to our future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Convertible Notes in right of payment; (iii) effectively subordinated to our future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness; and (iv) structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of our subsidiaries.

The Convertible Notes accrue interest at a rate of 0.25%0.25 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2022. The Convertible Notes will mature on October 1, 2026, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before July 1, 2026, noteholders have the right to convert their Convertible Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after July 1, 2026, noteholders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. We will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. The initial conversion rate was 13.6783 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $73.11 per share of common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.

We may not redeem the Convertible Notes at our option at any time before October 7, 2024. The Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to the “Partial Redemption Limitation” (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture)), at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after October 7, 2024 and on or before the 25th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of our common stock exceeds 130%130 percent of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice. The redemption price will be a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, calling any Convertible Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with respect to that Convertible Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Convertible Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. Pursuant to the Partial Redemption Limitation, we may not elect to redeem less than all of

the outstanding Convertible Notes unless at least $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time we send the related redemption notice.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) occur, then, subject to a limited exception for certain cash mergers, noteholders may require us to repurchase their Convertible Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the

fundamental change repurchase date. The definition of Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving us and certain de-listing events with respect to our common stock.

The Convertible Notes have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default” (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture), which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Convertible Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest on the Convertible Notes, will be subject to a 30-day cure period); (ii) our failure to send certain notices under the Convertible Notes Indenture within specified periods of time; (iii) our failure to comply with certain covenants in the Convertible Notes Indenture relating to our ability to consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of us and our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another person; (iv) a default by us in our other obligations or agreements under the Convertible Notes Indenture or the Convertible Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 60 days after notice is given in accordance with the Convertible Notes Indenture; (v) certain defaults by us or any of our significant subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $65,000,000;$65.0 million; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving us or any of our significant subsidiaries.

If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to us (and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of us) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the trustee, by notice to us, or noteholders of at least 25%25 percent of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes then outstanding, by notice to us and the trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, we may elect, at our option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by us to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Convertible Notes Indenture consists exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the Convertible Notes for up to 180 days at a specified rate per annum not exceeding 0.50%0.50 percent on the principal amount of the Convertible Notes.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 20232024 or as of December 31, 2022.2023.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We also make estimates and assumptions on the reported revenue generated and reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in “Management's“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest rate risk

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, consist primarily of interest-bearing accounts. Such interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. To minimize interest rate risk in the future, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in a variety of investment-grade securities, which may include commercial paper, money market funds, and government and non-government debt securities. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant negative impact on the realized value of our investments.

All of our revenue and a majority of our expense and capital purchasing activities for the yearthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20222024 were transacted in U.S. dollars. As we expand our sales and operations internationally, we will be more exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. Our international revenue is currently collected in U.S. dollars. In the future, as we expand into additional international jurisdictions, we expect that our international sales will be primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. If we decide in the future to denominate international sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, unfavorable movement in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which we conduct foreign sales could have an adverse impact on our revenue.

A portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the United States and are denominated in foreign currencies, which are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In particular, in our Mexico, Australia and UK-based operations, we pay payroll and other expenses in Mexican pesos, Australian dollars and British pounds sterling, respectively. Our operating results and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, we believe that the exposure to foreign currency fluctuation from operating expenses is relatively small at this time as the related costs do not constitute a significant portion of our total expenses.

We currently do not hedge foreign currency exposure. We may in the future hedge our foreign currency exposure and may use currency forward contracts, currency options, and/or other common derivative financial instruments to reduce foreign currency risk. It is difficult to predict the effect future hedging activities would have on our operating results.

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrationconcentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable and marketable securities. We invest our cash equivalents in highly rated money market funds.receivable. Our marketable securities consist of debtinvestment policy limits investments to high credit quality securities issued by the U.S. government, U.S. government-sponsored agencies, and highly rated corporate entities, foreign governments, the U.S. federal government or state and local governments. Our exposuresecurities, subject to any individual corporate entity is limited by policy. Deposits may exceed federally insuredcertain concentration limits and werestrictions on maturities. Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Amounts on deposit may at times exceed FDIC insured limits. We have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts are monitored by management to mitigate risk. We are exposed to credit risk on deposits in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). We are closely monitoring ongoing events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, including Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). On March 10, 2023, SVB, where we maintained an operating account with aholding our cash balance of less than 1% of our total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and the FDIC was appointed as receiver. On March 12, 2023, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve Board, and FDIC released a joint statement announcing that the FDIC would complete its resolution of SVB in a manner that fully protected all depositors at SVB and that depositors would have access to all of their money starting March 13, 2023. On March 26, 2023, it was announced that First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company would assume all of SVB's deposits and loans as of March 27, 2023. In light of the foregoing, we do not believe we have exposure to loss as a result of SVB’s receivership. During the periods presented, we have not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities.an event of default by the issuers of the corporate debt securities we hold.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Except for the implementation of our remediation plans in connection with our ineffective disclosure controls and procedures described above, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three monthsmonth period ended March 31, 2023,2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
