The consolidated financial statements of Commvault as of December 31, 20222023 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 20222023 and 20212022 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2022.2023. The results reported in these financial statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our balance sheets and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, income taxes and related reserves, deferred commissions purchased intangible assets and goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassification of Prior Year Balances
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the amount of total revenues or net income. Beginning in fiscal 2024, the software and services line items on the consolidated statements of operations, related to revenues and cost of revenues, will be presented in the following categories:
Subscription - The amounts on this line include the revenues and costs of recurring time-based arrangements, including the software portion of term-based licenses and SaaS offerings. The software component of term-based licenses is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download. For SaaS offerings, revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer.
Perpetual license - The amounts on this line include the revenues and costs from the sale of perpetual software licenses. Perpetual software license revenue is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download.
Customer support - The amounts on this line include customer support revenues and costs associated with our software products. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and other premium support offerings, for both subscription software and perpetual software license arrangements. Customer support revenue is typically recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement.

Deferred Commissions Cost
Sales commissions, bonuses, and related payroll taxes earned by our employees are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Our typical contracts include performance obligations related to term-based software licenses, SaaS offerings, perpetual software licenses, software updates, and customer support and other services, including as-a-service offerings.support. In these contracts, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative estimated standalone selling prices and then recognized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to which the asset relates. We do not pay commissions on annual renewals of contracts for software updates and customer support contracts for perpetual licenses. The costs allocated to software and products are expensed at the time of sale, when revenue for the functional software license or appliance is recognized. The costs allocated to software updates and customer support for perpetual licenses are amortized ratably over a period of approximately five years, the expected period of benefit of the asset capitalized. We currently estimate a period of five years is appropriate based on consideration of historical average customer life and the estimated useful life of the underlying software sold as part of the transaction. The commission paid on the renewal of a term-based or subscription software licensearrangements is not commensurate with the commission paid on the initial purchase. As a result, the cost of commissions allocated to SaaS offerings, software updates and customer support on the initial term-based software license transactions are amortized over a period of approximately five years, consistent with the accounting for these costs associated with perpetual licenses. The costs of commissions allocated to SaaS offerings, software updates and support for the renewal of term-based software licenses is limited to the contractual period of the arrangement, as we pay a commensurate renewal commission upon the next renewal of the subscription software license and related updates and support.

The incremental costs relatedattributable to professional services are generally amortized over the period the related professional services are provided and revenue is recognized. Amortization expense related to these costs is included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
3. Revenue
We derive revenues from two primary sources:various sources, including subscriptions, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services.
Subscription
Subscription includes the revenues derived from time-based arrangements, including the software portion of term-based licenses and SaaS offerings. The software component of term-based licenses is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download. The term of our subscription arrangements is typically one to three years, but can range between one and five years. For SaaS offerings, revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer.
Perpetual License
Perpetual license includes the revenues from the sale of perpetual software licenses. Perpetual software license revenue is typically recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download.
Customer Support
Customer support includes revenues associated with support contracts tied to our software products. Customer support includes software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, telephone support, integrated web-based support, and other premium support offerings, for both subscription software and products, and services. Software and products revenue includesperpetual software license arrangements. We sell our software and integrated appliances that combine our software with hardware. Services include customer support (software updatescontracts as a percentage of net software purchases. Customer support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the customer support agreement, which is typically one year on our perpetual licenses and technical support), consulting,over the term on our term-based licenses.
Other Services
Other services consist primarily of revenues related to professional service offerings, including consultation, assessment and design, services, installation services, and customer education and as-a-service, which is brandededucation. Revenues related to other professional services are typically recognized as Metallic.the services are performed.
We sell both perpetual and term-based licenses of our software. We refer to our term-based software licenses as subscription arrangements. We do not customize our software licenses (both perpetual and term-based) and installation services are not required. The software isSoftware licenses are delivered before related services are provided and isare functional without professional services, updates and technical support. We have concluded that our software licenses (both perpetual and subscription)term-based) are functional intellectual property that is distinct, as the user can benefit from the software on its own. Software revenueRevenues for both perpetual and subscriptionterm-based licenses isare typically recognized when the software is delivered and/or made available for download as this is the point the user of the software can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the functional intellectual property. We do not recognize softwaresubscription revenue related to the renewal of that subscription software licenses earlier than the beginning of the new subscription period.
We also selloffer appliances that integrate our software with hardware and address a wide-range of business needs and use cases, ranging from support for remote or branch offices with limited IT staff up to large corporate

Our other professional services include consulting, assessment and design services, installation services and customer education. Customer education services include courses taught by our instructors or third-party contractors.

Commvault as-a-service, which is branded as Metallic, allows customers to use hosted software over the contract period without taking possession of the software. Revenue related to Metallic is generally recognized ratably over the contract term as services revenue.
Most of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of software are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices of services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis.
Our typical performance obligations include the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Performance Obligation | When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied | When Payment is Typically Due | How Standalone Selling Price is Typically Estimated |
Software and Products RevenueSubscription |
Software LicensesTerm-based software licenses | Upon shipment or made available for download (point in time) | Within 90 days of shipment except for certain subscription licenses which are paid for over time | Residual approach |

Judgments related to revenue recognition
Most of our contracts contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we evaluate and account for individual performance obligations separately if they are determined to be distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices of software licenses (both perpetual and term-based) are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices for SaaS, customer support contracts, and other services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. We recognize revenue net of sales tax.
Disaggregation of Revenues
We disaggregate revenues from contracts with customers into geographical regions. Our Americas region includes the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Our International region primarily includes Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia, India, Southeast Asia, and China.

Information about Contract Balances
Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are accounted for as deferred revenue. Nearly all of our deferred revenue balance is related to services revenue.customer support, SaaS arrangements, and other services.
In some arrangements we allow customers to pay for term-based software licenses and products over the term of the software license. Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of amounts billed are recorded as unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables, which are anticipated to be invoiced in the next twelve months, are included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. Long-term unbilled receivables are included in other assets. The opening and closing balances of our accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Accounts Receivable | Unbilled Receivable (current) | Unbilled Receivable (long-term) | Deferred Revenue (current) | Deferred Revenue (long-term) |

As of January 31, 2024, the sale of our owned corporate headquarters has not yet been finalized and the exclusivity of the agreement has expired. The assets have now been classified as held for sale for more than one year. In addition toaccordance with ASC 360, assets not sold by the amounts included in deferred revenueend of the one-year period may still qualify as held for sale, if certain conditions are met. We have determined that, as of DecemberJanuary 31, 2022, $83,3222024, those conditions have been met.
The Board of revenue may be recognized from remaining performance obligations, of which $9,614 was related to software and products.

4.5. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units, shares to be purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), and the exercise of stock options. The dilutive effect of such potential common shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

Performance Based Awards
In the nine months ended December 31, 2022,2023, we granted 126120 performance restricted stock units ("PSUs") to certain executives. Vesting of these awards is contingent upon i) us meeting certain non-GAAP performance goals (performance-based) in fiscal 20232024 and ii) our customary service periods. The awards vest over three years.years and have the potential to vest between 0% and 200% (240 shares) based on actual fiscal 2024 performance. The vesting quantity of these awards may vary based on actual fiscal 20232024 performance. The related stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized over the vesting term using the accelerated method. During the interim financial periods, management estimates the probable number of PSUs that would vest until the ultimate achievement of the performance goals is known. The awards are included in the restricted stock unit table.
Awards with a Market Condition
In the nine months ended December 31, 2022,2023, we granted 126120 market performance stock unitsPSUs to certain executives. The vesting of these awards is contingent upon us meeting certain total shareholder return ("TSR") levels as compared to the Russell 3000 market index over the next three years. The awards vest in three annual tranches and have a maximumthe potential to vest atbetween 0% and 200% (252(240 shares) based on TSR performance. The related stock-based compensation expense is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and is recognized using the accelerated method over the vesting term. The estimated fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The fair value of the awards granted during the nine months ended December 31, 20222023 was $76.48$87.90 per unit. The awards are included in the restricted stock unit table.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”)ESPP is a shareholder approved plan under which substantially all employees may purchase our common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market values of the stock as of the beginning or the end of six-month offering periods. An employee’s payroll deductions under the Purchase PlanESPP are limited to 10% of the employee’s salary and employees may not purchase more than $25 of stock during any calendar year. Employees purchased 96 shares in exchange for $5,164 of proceeds in the nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 107 shares in exchange for $5,418 of proceeds in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 85 shares in exchange for $5,160 of proceeds in the nine months ended December 31, 2021.2022. The Purchase PlanESPP is considered compensatory and the fair value of the discount and look back provision are estimated using the Black-Scholes formula and recognized over the six-month withholding period prior to purchase. The total expense associated with the Purchase PlanESPP for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $2,391 and 2021 was $2,847, and $2,428, respectively. As of December 31, 2022,2023, there was approximately $460$364 of unrecognized cost related to the current purchaseoffering period of our Purchase Plan.ESPP.
8.9. Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $5,176 and $17,772 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, compared to expense of $5,710 and $14,550 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, compared to expense of $3,018 and $5,573 in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The fiscal year-to-date increase in income tax expense relativecompared to the prior year relates primarily to current federal and state taxes driven by the effectsincrease of capitalizationpre-tax income relative to the same period in the prior year. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefits of our gross deferred tax assets and amortization of research and development expenses starting in fiscal year 2023 as required by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Given we have recordedtherefore continue to record a valuation allowance against ourto reduce the carrying value of these gross deferred tax assets, there is no corresponding deferred tax benefit relatednet of the impact of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, to the current tax expense associated with the capitalizationzero as of research and development expenses.December 31, 2023.
9. Restructuring
Our restructuring plan, initiated in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, is aimed to increase efficiency in our sales, marketing and distribution functions, as well as reduce costs across all functional areas. The plan also included a reorganization to combine our EMEA and APJ field organizations. These restructuring charges relate primarily to severance and related costs associated with headcount reductions and stock-based compensation related to modifications of existing unvested awards granted to certain employees impacted by the restructuring plan.

10. Revolving Credit Facility
On December 13, 2021, we entered into a five-year $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("J.P. Morgan"). The Credit Facility is available for share repurchases, general corporate purposes, and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default which would permit the lender to, among other things, declare all loans then outstanding to be immediately due and payable if such default is not cured within applicable grace periods. The Credit Facility also limits our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, make acquisitions, make investments, loans or advances, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends or distributions, and engage in certain transactions with foreign affiliates. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.25% subject to increases based on our actual leverage. The unused balance on the Credit Facility is also subject to a 0.25% annual interest charge subject to increases based on our actual leverage. As of December 31, 2022,2023, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants.
We have deferred the expense related to debt issuance costs, which are classified as other assets, and will amortize the costs into interest expense over the term of the Credit Facility. Unamortized amounts at December 31, 20222023 were $457. The amortization of debt issuance costs and interest expense incurred for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 was $93 and $278, respectively. Unamortized amounts at December 31, 2021 were $572.$341. The amortization of debt issuance costs and interest expense incurred was $19$92 and $93 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $277 and $278 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.

11. Subsequent Events
On January 19, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell Commvault's owned corporate headquarters in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Subsequently, we entered into an agreement to sell the property for $40,000. The agreement includes a due diligence period for the buyer, is contingent on receiving approvals from certain government agencies, and includes other customary closing conditions. We believe the sale will likely close in the first half of fiscal 2024. Upon closing of the transaction, Commvault will enter into a lease for a portion of the premises.
Management has concluded that during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the headquarters has met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. We expect to record a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $50,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023. We will also incur expenses for professional fees and moving associated with the sale.

Sources of Revenues
We derive agenerate revenues through subscription arrangements, perpetual software licenses, customer support contracts and other services. A significant portion of our total revenues comes from subscription arrangements, which include both sales of term-based licenses and SaaS offerings. We are focused on these types of our software applications. We do not customize our software for a specific end-user customer. We sell our software applications to end-user customers both directly through our sales force and indirectly through our global network of value-added reseller partners, systems integrators, corporate resellers and original equipment manufacturers. Our software and productsrecurring revenue was 46% and 45% of our total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.arrangements.
We continue to focus onexpect our subscription and other recurring revenue arrangements andwill continue to generate revenuerevenues from the renewals of subscriptionterm-based licenses and SaaS offerings sold in prior years. Any of our licensingpricing models (capacity, instance based, etc.) can be sold via a subscription arrangement.arrangement, either through term-based licensing or hosted services. In theseterm-based license arrangements, the customer has the right to use the software over a designated period of time. The capacity of the license is fixed and the customer has made an unconditional commitment to pay. Software revenue in these arrangements is generally recognized when the software is delivered. DuringIn SaaS offerings, revenue is recognized ratably over the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately 78% and 65% of software license revenue was sold under a subscription model, respectively. contract period.
We also sell to someend-user customers primarily managed service providers, via utility, or pay-as-you-go models. In these arrangements, there is no minimum commitmentboth directly through our sales force and actual usage is regularly measuredindirectly through our global network of value-added reseller partners, systems integrators, corporate resellers and billed. Revenue in these utility arrangements is recognized as the software is used.
Our total software and products revenue in any particular period is, to a certain extent, dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from large customer software and products deals, which we refer to as larger deal transactions. Larger deal transactions (transactions greater than $0.1 million of software and products revenue) represented 73% and 71% of our total software and products revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Software and productsoriginal equipment manufacturers. Subscription revenue generated through indirect distribution channels accounted for approximately 90% of total software and productssubscription revenue in both the nine months ended December 31, 20222023 and 2021. Software and products2022. Subscription revenue generated through direct distribution channels accounted for approximately 10% of total software and productssubscription revenue in both the nine months ended December 31, 20222023 and 2021.2022. Deals initiated by our direct sales force are sometimes transacted through indirect channels based on end-user customer requirements, which are not always in our control and can cause this overall percentage split to vary from period-to-period. As such, there may be fluctuations in the dollars and percentage of software and productssubscription revenue generated through our direct distribution channels from time-to-time. We believe that the growth of our software and productssubscription revenue, derived from both our indirect channel partners and direct sales force, are key attributes to our long-term growth strategy. We intend to continue to invest in both our channel relationships and direct sales force in the future, but we continue to expect more revenue to be generated through indirect distribution channels over the long term. The
failure of our indirect distribution channels or our direct sales force to effectively sell our software applicationsproducts and services could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
We have a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, Inc. ("Arrow"), a subsidiary of Arrow Electronics, Inc. Pursuantpursuant to this distribution agreement,which Arrow's primary role is to enable a more efficient and effective distribution channel for our products and services by managing our reseller partners and leveraging their own industry experience. We generated 37%36% and 36%37% of our total revenues through Arrow for the nine months ended December 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. If Arrow were to discontinue or reduce the sales of our products or if our agreement with Arrow were terminated, and if we were unable to take back the management of our reseller channel or find another distributor to replace Arrow, there could be a material adverse effect on our future business.
We have an original equipment manufacturer agreement with Hitachi Vantara ("Hitachi") which allows themOur customer support revenue includes support contracts tied to market, sell and support our software applications and services on a stand-alone basis and/or incorporate our software applications into their own hardware products. Hitachi has no obligation to recommend or offer our software applications exclusively, or at all, and they have no minimum sales requirements and can terminate our relationship at any time.
Our services revenue was 54% and 55% of our total revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our services revenue is made up of fees from the delivery of customer support and other professional services, which are typically sold in connection with the sale of our software applications.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates’ Impact on Results of Operations
Sales outside the United States were 47% of our total revenuerevenues for both the nine months ended December 31, 20222023 and 49% of our total revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2021.2022. The income statements of our non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for each applicable month in a period. To the extent the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions generally results in increased revenue,revenues, operating expenses and income from operations for our non-U.S. operations. Similarly, our revenue,revenues, operating expenses and net income will generally decrease for our non-U.S. operations if the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies.
Using the average foreign currency exchange rates from the three months ended December 31, 2021,2022, our software and products revenuetotal revenues would have been higherlower by $4.4 million, our services revenue would have been higher by $5.3$2.4 million, our cost of salesrevenues would have been higherlower by $1.1$0.1 million and our operating expenses would have been higherlower by $5.4$0.9 million from non-U.S. operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022.2023. Using the average foreign currency exchange rates from the nine months ended December 31, 2021,2022, our software and products revenuetotal revenues would have been lower by $3.8 million, our cost of revenues would have been higher by $12.7 million, our services revenue would have been higher by $16.3 million, our cost of sales would have been higher by $3.5$0.1 million and our operating expenses would have been higherlower by $14.9$0.8 million from non-U.S. operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2022.2023.
In addition, we are exposed to risks of foreign currency fluctuation primarily from cash balances, accounts receivables and intercompany accounts denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to the resulting transaction gains and losses, which are recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
In presenting our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles,GAAP, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported therein. Some of the estimates and assumptions we are required to make relate to matters that are inherently uncertain as they pertain to future events. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows willmay be affected.
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application, while in other cases, significant judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We consider these policies requiring significant management judgment to be critical accounting policies. These critical accounting policies are:
•Revenue Recognition
•Accounting for Income Taxes
•Goodwill
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended December 31, 20222023 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2022, our cash balance was $273.5 million. The amount of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States by our foreign legal entities was $156.6 million. In recent fiscal years, our principal source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations. As of December 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $284.3 million, of which approximately $196.7 million was held outside of the United States by our foreign legal entities. These balances are dispersed across approximately 35 international locations around the world. We believe that such dispersion meets the current and anticipated future liquidity needs of our foreign legal entities. In the event we need to repatriate funds from outside of the United States, such repatriation would likely be subject to restrictions by local laws and/or tax consequences, including foreign withholding taxes.
On December 13, 2021, we entered into a five-year $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with J.P. Morgan.JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Credit Facility is available for share repurchases, general corporate purposes, and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including a leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default which would permit the lender to, among other things, declare all loans then outstanding to be immediately due and payable if such default is not cured within applicable grace periods. The Credit Facility also limits our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, make acquisitions, make investments, loans or advances, sell or transfer assets, pay dividends or distributions, and engage in certain transactions with foreign affiliates. Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 1.25% subject to increases based on our actual leverage. The unused balance on the Credit Facility is also subject to a 0.25% annual interest charge subject to increases based on our actual leverage. As of December 31, 2022,2023, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all covenants.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and our cash from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, income taxes, capital expenditures and potential stock repurchases for at least the next twelve months. We may seek additional funding through public or private financings or other arrangements during this period. Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders will result. If we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operational flexibility, and would also require us to fund additional interest expense. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2022,2023, we did not have off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.

Foreign Currency Risk
Economic Exposure
As a global company, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our international sales are generally denominated in foreign currencies and this revenuethese revenues could be materially affected by currency fluctuations. Approximately 47% of our revenues were from outside the United States for the nine months ended December 31, 2022.2023. Our primary exposures are to fluctuations in exchange rates for the U.S. dollar versus the Euro, and to a lesser extent, the Australian dollar, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Korean won and Singapore dollar. Changes in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our reported revenues and require us to reduce our prices to remain competitive in foreign markets, which could also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Historically, we have periodically reviewed and revised the pricing of our products available to our customers in foreign countries and we have not maintained excess cash balances in foreign accounts.
Transaction Exposure
Our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses is primarily the result of certain net receivables due from our foreign subsidiaries and customers being denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary. Our foreign subsidiaries conduct their businesses in local currency and we generally do not maintain excess U.S. dollar cash balances in foreign accounts.
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2022. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.
