TABLE OF CONTENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) includes estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements, as well as descriptions of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially, may appear throughout this Quarterly Report, including in the following sections: “Management’s“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”Operations” (Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report), “Quantitative“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”Risk” (Part I, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report), and “Risk Factors”“Risk Factors” (Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report),.
These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to volume growth, sales, earnings, and statements expressing general views about future operating results — are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are, by their nature, subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, our management. Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. Readers should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in the context of these risks and uncertainties. The important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to investors.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about:
• | our ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination (as defined in this Quarterly Report), which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined business to grow and manage growth profitably; | |
• |
| |
| our future operating or financial results; | |
• | future acquisitions, business strategy and expected capital spending; | |
• | changes in our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; | |
• | the implementation, market acceptance and success of our business model and growth strategy; | |
• | expectations and forecasts with respect to the size and growth of the cloud industry and digital transformation in general and Microsoft’s products and services in particular; | |
• | the ability of our products and services to meet customers’ compliance and regulatory needs; | |
• | our ability to compete with others in the digital transformation industry; | |
• | our ability to grow our market share; | |
• | our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and management; | |
• | our ability to adapt to changes in consumer preferences, perception and spending habits and develop and expand our product offerings and gain market acceptance of our products, including in new geographies; | |
• | developments and projections relating to our competitors and industry; | |
• | our ability to develop and maintain our brand and reputation; | |
• | developments and projections relating to our competitors and industry; | |
• |
| |
|
| |
| unforeseen business disruptions or other impacts due to political instability, civil disobedience, terrorism, armed hostilities (including the outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine), extreme weather conditions, natural disasters, other pandemics or other calamities. | |
• | our expectations regarding our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others; | |
• | expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; | |
• | our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; | |
• | our ability to obtain funding for our operations and future growth; | |
• | the effects of inflation both with our | |
• | the effects of foreign currency exchange. |
The foregoing list of risks is not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report may include additional factors that could harm our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as required by law.
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, the events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. You should refer to the ‘‘Risk Factors’Factors’’ section of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.
You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we reference in this Quarterly Report and have filed as exhibits to the Quarterly Report, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and include the accounts of the Company. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Operating results for the These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 and the related notes included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, Annual Report”). Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In February 2016, the The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward its historical assessments of whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company elected not to use The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $13.9 million, net of previously recognized deferred rent balance of $0.6 million and total lease liabilities of $14.5 million, including a current liability of $3.6 million, and corresponding deferred tax assets and liabilities, on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022. The adoption had no significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (“ASC Comparative Data Certain amounts from prior periods which have been presented separately have been grouped to conform to the current period presentation, including: • The reclassification of long-term unbilled receivables to be included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021;and • The reclassification of accrued rent obligation to be included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the Business Combination When we consummate Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. We will test goodwill for impairment at least annually by performing No other events or circumstances changed since the I-Access acquisition that would indicate that the fair value of our reporting unit is below its carrying amount. During the Other Intangible Assets, net Other intangible assets Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and assumptions 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each of its periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred contract costs, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes and related reserves, stock-based compensation, purchase price in a business combination, and earn-out liabilities. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Foreign Currency The Company has foreign operations where the functional currency has been determined to be the local currency, in accordance with FASB ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company maintains cash with several high credit-quality financial institutions. The Company considers all investments available with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are not subject to significant market risk. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank accounts which, at times, exceed the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company maintains cash balances used in operations at entities based in countries which imposes regulations that limit the ability to transfer cash out of the country. As of Short-Term Investments Short-term investments consist mainly U.S. treasury bills and certificate of deposits held by financial institutions which have an initial maturity of greater than three months but less than or equal to one year at period end. Based on our intentions regarding these investments, we classify substantially all of our investments as available-for-sale. We carry these securities at fair value, and report the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, as a component of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. Where we are aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, we record a specific allowance against amounts due. For all other customers, we recognize allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are outstanding, the current business environment and its historical experience. Accounts are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. As such, we present trade receivables at their net estimated realizable value through use of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Deferred Contract Costs We defer sales commissions earned by its sales force that are considered to be incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining SaaS, term license and support, service, perpetual license and maintenance contracts. We have structured commissions plans such that the commission rate paid on renewal contracts are less than those paid on the initial contract; therefore, it is determined that the renewal commissions are not commensurate with the initial commission that are deferred and amortized. We determine the estimated average customer relationship period and average renewal term utilizing a portfolio approach. Deferred costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. Amortization of deferred contract costs of Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from four primary sources: SaaS, term license and support, services, and maintenance. Services include installation services, training and other consulting services. The following table presents our revenue by source: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended For the Three Months Ended June 30, June 30, March 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenue: SaaS Term license and support Services Maintenance Perpetual license Total revenue Term license and perpetual license revenue recognized at point in time was We use judgement in determining the SSP for products and services. For substantially all performance obligations except term licenses, we are able to establish the SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. We typically establish an SSP range for our products and services which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. Term licenses are sold only as a bundled arrangement that includes the rights to a term license and support. In determining the SSP of license and support in a term license arrangement we applied observable inputs using the value relationship between support and term license, the value relationship between support and perpetual licenses, the average economic life of our products, software renewals rates and the price of the bundled arrangement in relation to the perpetual licensing approach. Using a combination of the relative fair value method or the residual value method the SSP of the performance obligations in an arrangement was allocated to each performance obligation within a sales arrangement. Revenue deferred as of The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, net, deferred revenue and deferred contract costs are as follows: Accounts Deferred Accounts Deferred receivable, Deferred contract receivable, Deferred contract net (1) revenue costs net (1) revenue costs (in thousands) (in thousands) Opening (January 1, 2021) Closing (December 31, 2021) Increase/(decrease) Opening (January 1, 2022) Closing (March 31, 2022) Closing (June 30, 2022) Increase/(decrease) (1) Accounts receivable, net is inclusive of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, current unbilled receivables and long-term unbilled receivables. There were no significant changes to the Company’s contract assets or liabilities during the year ended As of As of December 31, 2021, transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods, was $201.1 million, of which $147.1 million is related to SaaS and term license and support revenue. We expect to recognize approximately 76% of the total transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees. To date, we have issued both stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). With respect to equity-classified awards, the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes the cost as expense ratably (net of estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period. With respect to liability-classified awards, the Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date and at each reporting period based on the estimated fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation cost is recognized ratably over the requisite service period, net of actual forfeitures in the period. We estimate the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model requires highly subjective assumptions in order to derive the inputs necessary to Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to difference between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as part of the provision for income taxes. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and unrecognize tax benefits. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial performance of the operation that is recording a net deferred tax asset is considered along with any other pertinent information. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various states and foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2017 through 2020 are open and subject to audit by US federal, state and local authorities. The tax years 2011 through Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest At AEPL Pte. Ltd. (“AEPL”) As part of AEPL’s investment in EduTech, the Company granted AEPL a put option which allows AEPL to cause the Company to repurchase AEPL’s shares in EduTech at any time between December 24, 2022 and December 24, 2023 at a price equal to AEPL’s initial investment of approximately $8.3 million. Consequently, the Company records redeemable noncontrolling interest as mezzanine equity in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. At each reporting period, the Company increases the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest by periodic accretions using the interest method so that the carrying amount will equal the redemption amount on the date that the put option becomes exercisable, and adjustments to the value are recorded as net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest. At I-Access Solutions Pte. Ltd. On February 18, 2022 (the “I-Access Closing Date”), EduTech consummated its acquisition of all of the ordinary shares of I-Access, a Singapore limited company. As a result, I-Access became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EduTech. The acquisition was made pursuant to a share purchase agreement, dated as of January 31, 2022 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and among EduTech and the former I-Access shareholders. At Emerging Growth Company The Company is considered an emerging growth company. Section 102(b)(1) of the Jobs Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company elects not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses on Financial Instruments While the Company generally expects the financial records to be impacted by the requirements highlighted above, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact that adoption of the ASUs referenced in this announcement is expected to have on the financial statements at this time. 3. Business Combination Apex Technology Acquisition Corporation On November 23, 2020, Legacy AvePoint and the members of the Apex Group (as defined below) entered into the Apex Business Combination Agreement. The Apex Business Combination by and among Legacy AvePoint and the members of the Apex Group was effected on July 1, 2021 by the merger of Athena Technology Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub 1”) with and into Legacy AvePoint (the “First Merger”), with Legacy AvePoint surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apex Technology Acquisition Corporation (“Apex”), and promptly following the First Merger, Legacy AvePoint was merged with and into Athena Technology Merger Sub 2, LLC (“Merger Sub 2” and collectively with Merger Sub 1 and Apex referred to herein as the “Apex Group”)) (the “Second Merger”), with Merger Sub 2 surviving the Second Merger (the “Surviving Entity”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apex (the Second Merger together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”). Following the consummation of the Mergers, the Surviving Entity changed its name to AvePoint US, LLC and Apex changed its name to AvePoint. On July 26, 2021, AvePoint US, LLC was merged with and into AvePoint, with AvePoint surviving. The Apex Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization as Legacy AvePoint was determined to be the accounting acquirer under ASC 805. This determination was primarily based on Legacy AvePoint comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, Legacy AvePoint’s senior management comprising the majority of the senior management of the combined company and the prior shareholders of Legacy AvePoint having a majority of the voting power of the combined entity. In connection with the Apex Business Combination, the outstanding shares of Legacy AvePoint's preferred stock were redeemed for cash and shares of AvePoint’s Common Stock and the outstanding shares of Legacy AvePoint's common stock were converted into AvePoint's Common Stock, representing a recapitalization, and the net assets of the Company were acquired at historical cost, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Operations and assets and liabilities of the Company prior to the Apex Business Combination in these financial statements are those of Legacy AvePoint. As a result, these financial statements represent the continuation of Legacy AvePoint and the historical shareholders’ deficiency. Common stock, preferred stock and loss per share of Legacy AvePoint prior to the Apex Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted for the Apex Business Combination using an exchange ratio of 8.69144. Options to purchase common stock of Legacy AvePoint were converted into options to purchase common stock of AvePoint, Inc. using an exchange ratio of 8.6914. The options, as converted, continue to be governed by Legacy AvePoint's existing stock option plan. The accumulated deficit of Legacy AvePoint has been carried forward after the Apex Business Combination. All per share information in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of mezzanine equity and stockholders' equity (deficiency) and the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted using an exchange ratio of 8.69144 per share.

As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill as we obtain new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date.

On April 7, 2020, Legacy AvePoint entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with HSBC Ventures Bank USA Inc. (“HSBC”) On July 1, 2021, Legacy AvePoint effected an assignment of its existing rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement to AvePoint US, LLC (which, at the time of the assignment, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) through entry into a limited consent and first amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment,” and the Loan Agreement as amended thereby, the “FirstAmended Loan Agreement”) and an assignment and assumption agreement (the “FirstAssignment and Assumption Agreement”). In addition, the Company's Board approved the entry into a pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) and limited guaranty (the “Limited Guaranty”) in favor of HSBC, pursuant to which the Company pledged 100% of the AvePoint US, LLC equity held by it (the “Pledged Equity”) as collateral in support of the borrower’s obligations under the Amended Loan Agreement and further provided a payment guarantee to HSBC on behalf of AvePoint US, LLC equal to the value of the Pledged Equity and capped at the amount actually borrowed under the First Amended Loan Agreement. On July 26, 2021, the Company effected a merger with AvePoint US, LLC, following the consummation of which the Company was the surviving entity (the “Rollup Merger”).

On October 31, 2021, the Company entered into that certain Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the First Amended Loan Agreement. The First Amended Loan Agreement as amended by the Second Amendment (the "SecondAmended Loan Agreement") provides for, among other things, completion of the Post-Closing Amendments (as defined in the Limited Consent) and the removal of "Holdings" (as defined in the First Amended Loan Agreement) as a limited guarantor of the Borrower's (as defined in the First Amended Loan Agreement) obligations under the First Amended Loan Agreement and the de facto termination of the Pledge Agreement and Limited Guaranty.

Borrowings under the line bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.5%. The line carries an unused fee of 0.5% per year. The proceeds of borrowings under the Second Amended Loan Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and will adjust such amounts in light of changing facts and circumstances.

The Company is obligated under various non-cancelable operating leases primarily for office space. The initial terms of the leases expire on various dates through 2030. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases are classified as eitheroperating or finance leases based on certain criteria. This classification determines the timing and presentation of expenses on the income statement, as well as the presentation of the related cash flows and balance sheet. Operating leases are recorded on the balance sheet beginning January 1, 2022 as operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities. The Company currently has no significant finance leases. ROU assets and related liabilities are recorded at lease commencement based on the present value of the lease payments over the expected lease term. Lease payments include future increases unless the increases are based on changes in an index or rate. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate ROU assets and related liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the Company’s estimated credit rating, the term of the lease, the economic environment where the asset resides and full collateralization. Lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We generally use the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is allocated within operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The components of the Company's operating lease expense are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and sixmonths ended Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2022 Lease liability cost Short-term lease expenses (1) Variable lease cost not included in the lease liability (2) Total lease cost (1) Short-term lease expenses include rent expenses from leases of 12 months or less on the transition date or lease commencement. (2) Variable lease cost includes common area maintenance, property taxes, and fluctuations in rent due to a change in an index or rate. Our lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. We elected to combine fixed payments for non-lease components, for all classes of underlying assets, with our lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of our lease assets and liabilities.

As of Company Earn-Out Agreement As a result of the Apex Business Combination, the holders of Legacy AvePoint Preferred Stock, Legacy AvePoint common stock and Legacy AvePoint Options shall be issued additional shares of AvePoint's Common Stock, as follows: 1,000,000 shares of AvePoint's Common Stock, in the aggregate, if at any time from and after the Apex Business Combination through the seventh anniversary thereof (a) AvePoint's stock price is greater than or equal to $12.50 over any 20 Trading Days within any 30 trading day period or (b) the Company consummates a subsequent transaction, which results in the stockholders of the Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $12.50 per share; 1,000,000 shares of AvePoint's Common Stock, in the aggregate, if at any time from and after the Apex Business Combination through the seventh anniversary thereof (a) AvePoint's stock price is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any 20 Trading Days within any 30 trading day period or (b) the Company consummates a subsequent transaction, which results in the stockholders of the Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $15.00 per share; 1,000,000 shares of AvePoint's Common Stock, in the aggregate, if at any time from and after the Apex Business Combination through the seventh anniversary thereof (a) AvePoint's stock price is greater than or equal to $17.50 over any 20 Trading Days within any 30 trading day period or (b) the Company consummates a subsequent transaction, which results in the stockholders of the Company having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $17.50 per share. The rights described above are hereafter referred to as the In order to capture the market conditions associated with the Company Earn-Out Shares, the Company applied an approach that incorporated a Monte Carlo simulation, which involved random iterations that took different future price paths over the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares’ contractual life based on the appropriate probability distributions. The fair value was determined by taking the average of the fair values under each Monte Carlo simulation trial. The Monte Carlo model requires highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, and the expected term of the earn-out shares. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower liability. Under this approach, the fair value of the Company Earn-Out Shares on July 1, 2021 was determined to be $29.6 million. The fair value was remeasured as of Term (in years) Volatility % Warrants to Acquire Common Stock On July 1, 2021, as part of the Apex Business Combination, the Company effectively granted 405,000 private placement warrants with a 5-year term and strike price of $11.50 per share. Management has determined that the private placements warrants are to be classified as liabilities to be marked to market at each reporting period. The private placement warrants are held by only two parties and any transfer of the warrants to a party other than a current holder of the warrants would cause the warrants to be converted into public warrants. Consequently, the fair value of the private placement warrants is equivalent to the fair value of the public warrants described in “Note Prior to the Apex Business Combination, the Company had two classes of capital stock: common stock and preferred stock. Following the Apex Business Combination, the Company has one class of capital stock: Common Stock. The following summarizes the terms of the Company’s capital stock. Common Stock Pursuant to the Company’s restated Articles of Incorporation, the Company was authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.0001 par value. There were On July 1, 2021, as part of the Apex Business Combination, all outstanding shares of Legacy AvePoint common stock was converted into Common Stock of AvePoint, Inc. using an exchange ratio of 8.69144 per share and options to purchase common stock of Legacy AvePoint were converted into options to purchase Common Stock of AvePoint, Inc. using an exchange ratio of 8.6914. All per share information has been retroactively adjusted for this exchange ratio. Sponsor Earn-Out Shares On July 1, 2021, as a result of the Apex Business Combination, the Company modified the terms of 2,916,700 shares of Common Stock (“Sponsor Earn-Out Shares”) then held by Apex’s sponsor, such that such shares will be subject to the following vesting provisions: 100% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares shall vest and be released if at any time through the seventh anniversary of the Apex Business Combination, AvePoint's stock price is greater than or equal to $15.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalization, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) over any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period; and 100% of the remaining Sponsor Earn-Out Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and be released if at any time through the seventh anniversary of the Apex Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent transaction. The Sponsor Earn-Out Shares are currently outstanding and receive all benefits of regular shares with the exception of the fact that the shares are held in escrow and restricted from transfer until the vesting conditions described above are met. Consequently, the shares are classified as equity. NaN Sponsor Earn-Out Shares have vested as of Public Warrants to Acquire Common Stock On July 1, 2021, as part of the Apex Business Combination, the Company issued 17,500,000 public warrants with an exercise price of $11.50. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of AvePoint's Common Stock and the warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance through the fifth anniversary of the Apex Business Combination. At Share Repurchase Program On March 17, 2022, the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest On December 24, 2020, AEPL, an unaffiliated entity, acquired a redeemable noncontrolling interest in EduTech through the contribution of $7.5 million. As of December 31, 2020, AvePoint owned a 77.78% interest in EduTech and AEPL owned a 22.22% interest in EduTech. On February 11, 2021, AEPL acquired additional redeemable noncontrolling interest in EduTech through the contribution of $0.8 On February 18, 2022, EduTech consummated the acquisition of 100% of the equity in I-Access for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.1 On April 15, 2022, the Company implemented a management changeover. As a result, pursuant to the terms of the At each reporting period, the Company increases the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest by periodic accretions using the interest method so that the carrying amount will equal the redemption amount on the date that the put option becomes exercisable.

Stock options vest over a four-year period and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of award. Certain of the Company’s stock option awards (the On March 21, 2022, To estimate the expected life of stock options, the Company considered the vesting term, contractual expiration period, and market conditions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of a group of peer entities. Dividend yields are based upon historical dividend yields. Risk-free interest rates are based on the implied yields currently available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life. Based on these inputs, the grant-date fair value was determined to be $1.9 million. As of At Restricted Stock Units In addition to Stock Options granted under the 2006 Plan, 2016 Plan and 2021 Plan, Company Earn-Out RSUs The compensation costs for Company Earn-Out RSUs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. In order to capture the market conditions associated with the Company Earn-Out RSUs, the Company applied an approach that incorporated a Monte Carlo simulation, which involved random iterations that took different future price paths over the Sponsor Earn-Out RSUs’ contractual life based on the appropriate probability distributions. The fair value was determined by taking the average of the fair values under each Monte Carlo simulation trial. Under this approach, the grant-date fair value of the Company Earn-Out RSUs on July 1, 2021 was determined to be $2.5 million. The stock options underlying the Earn-Out RSUs vest over a four-year period and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of award. If the contingent milestones of the Earn-Out RSUs are not met by the seventh anniversary of the Apex Business Combination, the holders of the underlying stock options will not receive the Earn-Out RSUs. For the three and six months ended Fair value is defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) as the price that would be received upon selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. • Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“Annual Report”) and our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. ▪ ▪ Through June 30, 2022, we have repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares at an aggregate price of approximately $10 million; ▪ ▪ Overview We strive to be the catalyst of business transformation by empowering organizations with Our Mission Statement Our mission at AvePoint We do this through our Confidence Platform, a Building on With our solutions, organizations have the tools to enable rapid and sustainable adoption of critical applications essential to supporting the modern workplace, supporting employee flexibility and improving productivity, like Microsoft Our Values Key Business Metrics Our management reviews the following key business metrics to measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, make strategic decisions, and to make informed decisions regarding the allocation of our resources. We disclose key business metrics within the MD&A and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report to enable investors to evaluate The chart below illustrates certain of our key business metrics, March 31, June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Total ARR ($ in mil) Core TTM dollar-based net retention rate Annual Recurring Revenue We calculate our annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) at the end of a particular period as the annualized sum of contractually obligated Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) from SaaS, term license and support, and maintenance revenue sources, with the exception of migration products, from all customers with a contract duration exceeding three months (such customers, our “Core” customers, and such ARR, our “Core ARR”), and the product of the current month’s monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) multiplied by twelve (to prospectively annualize SaaS and term license and support revenue). ARR also includes some recurring professional services revenue, such as recurring TAM services. MRR is attributable to our Channel business, and MRR-contributing customers are classified as customers with a contract duration of 3 months or less. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, our Channel business was transacting the equivalent of $11.7 million and $6.9 million in ARR, respectively, calculated as June’s MRR multiplied by twelve months. Customer contracts used in calculating MRR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers. Growth in ARR is driven by both new business and the retention of existing business. We believe ARR is indicative of growth in recurring revenue streams, leading to higher revenue growth in future periods. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with, or to replace, either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers (the same is true for those contracts used in calculating MRR, which may or may not be extended or renewed by the customer). We use a trailing twelve-month ("TTM “Core TTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate” as of a period end is calculated by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all Core customers as of 12 months prior to such period end (the “Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these same Core customers as of the current period end (the “Current Period ARR”). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the Core TTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate. A Core TTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate greater than 100% implies positive net revenue retention. We believe this CoreTTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate metric is indicative of our ability to grow our relationships with existing customers, and further grow ARR and revenue. Components of Results of Operations Revenue We generate revenue from four primary sources: SaaS, term license and support, services, and maintenance across a variety of products. SaaS revenue sources are generated from our cloud-based solutions. Term license and support revenue sources are similar to SaaS revenue sources with the exception that term licenses and support are generated from the sales of on-premise or hybrid licenses which include a distinct support component. Both SaaS and term license and support revenue sources are primarily billed annually, apart from our Channel business. SaaS and term license and support are generally sold per user license or based upon the amount of data protected. Services revenue includes revenue generated from implementation, training, consulting, migration, license customization and managed services. Services revenue from implementation, training, consulting, migration, and license customization are recognized by applying a measure of progress, such as labor hours to determine the percentage of completion of each contract. These offerings are not inherently recurring in nature and as such are subject to more period-to-period volatility than other elements of our business. Services revenue from managed services are recognized ratably or on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Maintenance revenue is a result of selling on-going support for perpetual licenses. It also includes recurring professional services such as TAM. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which is typically one year. Over time, we expect SaaS and term license and support revenue will increase as a percentage of total revenue and more closely reflect our bookings mix as it continues to focus on increasing SaaS and term license and support revenue as a key strategic priority. Cost of Revenue Cost of SaaS and cost of term license and support consists of all direct costs to deliver and support our SaaS and term license and support products, including salaries, benefits and related expenses, allocated overhead, and third-party hosting fees related to our cloud services. We recognize these expenses as they are incurred. We expect that these costs will increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of SaaS and term license and support revenue from period to period. Cost of maintenance consists of all direct costs to support our perpetual license products, including salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and related expenses and allocated overhead. We recognize these expenses as they are incurred. We expect that cost of maintenance revenue will decrease in absolute dollars as maintenance revenue declines but may fluctuate as a percentage of maintenance revenue. Cost of services consists of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and related expenses for our services organization, allocated overhead and IT necessary to provide services for our customers. We recognize these expenses as they are incurred. Gross Profit and Gross Margin Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and gross margin is gross profit as a percentage of revenue. Gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by various factors, including the mix of our revenue, the costs associated with third-party cloud-based hosting services for our cloud-based subscriptions, and the extent to which we expand our customer support and services organizations. We expect that our gross margin will fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of these various factors but should increase in the long term as our product mix continues to shift in favor of SaaS and term license and support revenue. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for sales, marketing and customer success personnel, stock-based compensation expense, sales commissions, marketing programs, travel-related expenses, and allocated overhead costs. We focus our sales and marketing efforts on creating sales leads and establishing and promoting our brand. Incremental sales commissions for new customer contracts are deferred and amortized ratably over the estimated period of our relationship with such customers. We plan to continue 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. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for finance, legal and compliance, human resources, and IT, stock-based compensation expense, external professional services, allocated overhead costs and other administrative functions. Our general and administrative expenses have increased as a result of operating as a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange, costs related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and increased expenses for insurance, investor relations, and professional services. Research and Development Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses incurred for our engineering, product and design teams, stock-based compensation expense and allocated overhead costs. We have a research and development presence in the United States, China, Singapore and Vietnam. This provides a strategic advantage, allowing us to efficiently invest in both new product development and increasing our existing product capabilities. We believe delivering expanding product functionality is critical to enhancing the success of existing customers while new product development further reinforces our breadth of software solutions. Other Income (Expense) Other income (expense), net consists primarily of fair value adjustments on earn-out and warrant liabilities. In addition to fair value adjustment, other income (expense), net also consists of foreign currency remeasurement gains/losses partially offset by interest income on corporate funds invested in money market instruments and highly liquid short-term investments. Income Taxes We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. (federal and state) and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Tax laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without notice, due to economic, political, and other conditions. The foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have different statutory tax rates than those of the United States. Accordingly, our effective tax rate could be affected by 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. Results of Operations The following table summarizes AvePoint’s historical consolidated statement of operations data. The period-to-period comparison of operating results is not necessarily indicative of results for future periods.

These offerings are not inherently recurring in nature and as such are subject to more period-to-period volatility than other elements of AvePoint’s business. AvePoint’s revenue from perpetual license and maintenance offerings is expected to trend downward period over period. This is driven from multiple strategic decisions to shift away from the sale of perpetual licenses and towards SaaS and term licenses. Without material perpetual license sales, there will be limited opportunities to sell maintenance contracts to new customers. Existing customers have and will continue to transition to SaaS and term licenses, which will continue the decline in maintenance revenue. The increases attributable to SaaS, term license and support and services revenue were offset by a decrease in maintenance revenue, which decreased $1.4 million, or 25.5%, from $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Stock-based compensation made up $0.9 million of the total year over year increase. Of the remaining $3.8 million increase, $1.7 million was attributable to personnel costs, excluding benefits. The balance was primarily driven by insurance, professional services and travel. The increase in personnel costs was the result of higher headcount required as the Company continues to expand and due to additional need for finance and administrative personnel as the Company transitioned to a publicly traded company. The increase in insurance costs, which made up approximately $0.8 million of the increase, was the result of additional insurance coverage necessary for operating as a publicly traded company. The increase in professional service costs, which made up approximately $0.4 million of the increase, was driven by increased consumption of compliance, legal, consulting and insurance services due to the public listing of the Company's securities as well as the I-Access acquisition. Travel, approximately $0.2 million of the increase, is a result of business returning to a more normalized pre-pandemic state. The remaining difference was driven by various general and administrative costs as the Company continues to expand its operations. Research and Development Research and development expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Change 2022 2021 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Research and development Percentage of revenue GAAP research and development Stock-based compensation expense Non-GAAP research and development Non-GAAP percentage of revenue Research and development expenses increased $4.0 million, or 103.2%, from $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Stock-based compensation, contributed $0.9 million of the increase. Of the remaining $3.1 million increase, $2.6 million resulted from higher compensation costs for research and development personnel as the Company seeks to expand development of new offerings and improvements to existing offerings. The Company grew its R&D headcount 54% year over year. Income Tax Provision Income tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Change 2022 2021 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Income tax benefit AvePoint's income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.5 million, as compared to a tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rate was 5.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 0.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The change in effective tax rates for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to the mix of pre-tax loss results by jurisdictions taxed at different rates, impact of foreign inclusions, and stock-based compensation. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company has considered all available positive and negative evidence including its historical levels of income, expectations of future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and ongoing tax planning strategies. If in the future, the Company determines it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized, the Company may set up valuation allowance, which may result in income tax expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has determined on a more likely than not basis that sufficient taxable income will exist in the future to realize its US deferred tax assets. However, it is possible that if the Company incurs significant losses and reduces its projected taxable income a substantial valuation allowance to reduce its US deferred tax assets may be required which would materially increase tax provision in the period the allowance is recognized. Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 Revenue The components of AvePoint’s revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, Change 2022 2021 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) Revenue: SaaS Term license and support Services Maintenance Perpetual license Total revenue Revenue increased approximately $21.8 million, or 26.0%, from $84.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to approximately $106.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in SaaS, term license and support and services revenue. Revenue from AvePoint’s SaaS offerings increased approximately $15.3 million, or 39.5%, from $38.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $54.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from AvePoint's services offerings increased $5.6 million, or 42.0%, from $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from AvePoint’s term license and support offerings increased $4.4 million, or 22.2% from $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Services revenue is derived from services offerings, which can be offered for software implementation, training, migration, customized solutions and managed services. These offerings are not inherently recurring in nature and as such are subject to more period-to-period volatility than other elements of AvePoint’s business. AvePoint’s revenue from perpetual license and maintenance offerings is expected to trend downward period over period. This is driven from multiple strategic decisions to shift away from the sale of perpetual licenses and towards SaaS and term licenses. Without material perpetual license sales, there will be limited opportunities to sell maintenance contracts to new customers. Existing customers have and will continue to transition to SaaS and term licenses, which will decline maintenance revenue. Revenue by geographic region for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, Change 2022 2021 Amount % (in thousands, except percentages) United States EMEA APAC Total From the six months ended June 30, 2021 to the six months ended June 30, 2022, United States experienced a $8.0 million increase in revenue driven by a $8.8 million increase in SaaS and term license and support, partially offset by a combined $0.8 million decrease in services, maintenance and perpetual license revenue. EMEA experienced a $8.0 million increase in revenue driven by a $6.7 million increase in SaaS and term license and support revenue and a $2.6 million increase in service revenue. This growth was, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in maintenance revenue and a $0.7 million decrease in perpetual license revenue. APAC experienced a $5.8 million increase in revenue driven by a $4.2 million increase in SaaS and term license and support revenue and a $3.1 million increase in services revenue, partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in maintenance and perpetual license revenues. The overall decrease in maintenance and perpetual license revenue in each geography is due to AvePoint’s continued shift towards SaaS and term license and support offerings. Services revenue is expected to fluctuate as the offerings are not inherently recurring in nature.

If in the future, the Company determines Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures We believe that, in addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating margin are useful in evaluating our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating margin should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, operating margin or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of performance. Non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

We define non-GAAP operating income (loss) as GAAP operating loss plus stock-based compensation. We define non-GAAP operating margin as non-GAAP operating income (loss) divided by revenue. We believe non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP operating margin provide our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these metrics eliminate the effects of stock-based compensation which has had historical volatility from period to period due to marked-to-market securities. The elimination of the effect of variability of stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, provides a better representation as to the overall operating performance of the GAAP operating margin for the Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, June 30, June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Loss from operations Add: Stock-based compensation Non-GAAP operating income Non-GAAP operating (loss) income Non-GAAP operating margin Liquidity and Capital Resources As of Our short-term liquidity needs primarily include working capital for sales and marketing, research and development, and continued innovation. Our long-term 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, and the timing of new product introductions. Refer to “Note We also maintain a loan and security agreement with HSBC Venture Bank USA Inc. (“HSBC”) as lender for a revolving line of credit of up to $30.0 million. The line bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.5%. The line carries an unused fee of 0.5%. The line will mature on April 7, 2023. We are required to maintain a specified adjusted quick ratio and a minimum annual recurring revenue tested by HSBC each quarter.

Leasing Activities We are obligated under various non-cancelable operating leases for office space. The initial terms of the leases expire on various dates through 2030. As of Operating Segment Information We operate in one segment. Our products and services are sold throughout the world, through direct and indirect sales channels. Our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM makes operating performance assessment and resource allocation decisions on a global basis. The CODM does not receive discrete financial information about asset allocation, expense allocation, or profitability by product or geography. See the section titled “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report) under the sub-heading “Note Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 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 our management believes 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. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the section titled “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report), we believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates are most important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Revenue Recognition We derive revenue from four primary sources: SaaS, term license and support, services, and maintenance. Many of our contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations. Judgement is required in determining whether each performance obligation is distinct. Our products and services generally do not require a significant amount of integration or interdependency; therefore, our products and services are generally not combined. We allocate the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP") for each performance obligation within each contract. We use judgment in determining the SSP for products and services. For substantially all performance obligations except term licenses, we are able to establish the SSP based on the observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar customers. We typically establish an SSP range for our products and services which is reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. Term licenses are sold only as a bundled arrangement that includes the rights to a term license and support. In determining the SSP of license and support in a term license arrangement we applied observable inputs using the value relationship between support and term license, the value relationship between support and perpetual licenses, the average economic life of our products, software renewals rates and the price of the bundled arrangement in relation to the perpetual licensing approach. Using a combination of the relative fair value method or the residual value method the SSP of the performance obligations in an arrangement was allocated to each performance obligation within a sales arrangement. Economic Conditions, Challenges, and Risks The markets for software and cloud-based services are dynamic and highly competitive. Our competitors are developing new software while also deploying competing cloud-based services for consumers and businesses. Customer preferences evolve rapidly, and choices in hardware, products, and devices can and do influence how users access services in the cloud, and in some cases, the user’s choice of which suite of cloud-based services to use. We must continue to evolve and adapt over an extended time in pace with this changing environment. The investments we are making in infrastructure, research and development, marketing, and geographic expansion will continue to increase our operating costs and may decrease our operating margins. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified employees. We hire a mix of university and industry talent worldwide. We compete for talented individuals globally by offering an exceptional working environment, broad customer reach, scale in resources, the ability to grow one’s career across many different products and businesses, and competitive compensation and benefits. Aggregate demand for our software, services, and devices is correlated to global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, which remain dynamic. By way of example, Russia's ongoing military action against Ukraine has created general macroeconomic uncertainty. While we have only limited and largely immaterial economic, financial, and operational exposure to Russia or Belarus (or any individuals and entities connected to Russian or Belarusian political, business, and financial organizations), we are nevertheless monitoring the developments as they unfold in order to react accordingly. The impact of the conflict on our operational and financial performance may depend on future developments that cannot be predicted; we do not, however, believe the impacts to be material at this time. Our international operations provide a significant portion of our total revenue and expenses. Many of these revenue and expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in foreign exchange rates may significantly affect revenue and expenses. Due to the global nature of the Company, we do have a natural hedge against material changes in foreign exchange rates. Refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” (Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report) for a discussion of these factors and other risks. Seasonality Our quarterly revenue fluctuates and does not necessarily grow sequentially when measuring any one fiscal quarter’s revenue against another (e.g. comparing the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2021 against the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2022). Historically, our third and fourth quarters have been our highest revenue quarters, however those results are not necessarily indicative of future quarterly revenue or full year results. Higher third and fourth quarter revenue is driven primarily by increased sales resulting from our customers’ fiscal year ends. Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. We will be an emerging growth company at least until our next determination date, which is the last day of our second fiscal quarter in 2022. As a result, we have elected to avail ourselves of the extended transition period and will take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period emerging growth company status permits. During the extended transition period, it may be difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that complies with public company effective dates for accounting standard updates because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (a) December 31, 2024, (b) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (c) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates, or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years. The next determination date as to whether we have satisfied the criteria set forth in the foregoing (b), (c), and (d) is the last day of our second fiscal quarter in 2022. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements For information about recent accounting pronouncements, see “Note 2 - Summary of Significant AccountingPolicies” in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Part I Item 3 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks We are exposed to potential economic risk from interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and concentration of credit. We have considered changes in our exposure to market risks during the Interest Rate Risk We had cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and short-term deposits of $270.6 million as of December 31, 2021. We hold cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and short-term deposits for working capital purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash deposits and money market funds. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we believe that it does not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio due to changes in interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce our future interest income. The effect of a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. As of Foreign Currency Exchange Risk Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets and liabilities that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. Dollars. In particular, the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities that we report in U.S. Dollars for a significant portion of the cash held by these subsidiaries is subject to translation variance caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as of the end of each respective reporting period, the offset to which is substantially recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is also presented as a line item in its condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As the U.S. Dollar fluctuated against certain international currencies as of December 31, 2021, the balances that we reported in U.S. Dollars for foreign subsidiaries that hold international currencies as of December 31, 2021 increased relative to what it would have reported using a constant currency rate from December 31, 2020. As reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the estimated effects of exchange rate changes on our reported cash and cash equivalents balances in U.S. Dollars was a decrease of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and an increase of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. If overall foreign currency exchange rates in comparison to the U.S. Dollar uniformly would have been weaker by 10% as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities AvePoint would have reported in U.S. Dollars would have decreased by approximately $2.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively, assuming constant foreign currency cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances. Concentration of Credit Risk We deposit our cash with financial institutions, and, at times, such balances may exceed federally insured limits. No customer accounted for more than 10% of billings for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and no customers made up more than 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021. Part I Item 4 Item 4. Controls and Procedures We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) and Rule 15d–15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (in his capacity as principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (in his capacity as principal financial and accounting officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021 or during the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because the control deficiencies described below could have resulted in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements, we determined that these deficiencies constitute material weaknesses. Based upon the evaluation described above, our management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting in fiscal year 2020 which continued to exist during the ▪ the completeness and accuracy of financial accounting, reporting and disclosures; ▪ the identification, review and accounting for nonroutine transactions and/or complex accounting transactions; and ▪ segregation of duties with respect to the processing of financial transactions. Remediation of Material Weaknesses Our management has been and continues to be committed to remediating these material weaknesses and has identified and implemented several steps to enhance our internal controls over financial reporting. We have implemented a remediation plan (the "Remediation Plan"), the actions under which coincide with and are incorporated into our overarching Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) compliance implementation plan. The Remediation Plan actions include, but are not limited to: ▪ the hiring of personnel with technical accounting and financial reporting experience to further enhance our ability to accurately and expediently respond to increased accounting and financial complexities and increased resource demand with respect thereto, and to aid in further identification and oversight with respect to disclosure control activities in response; ▪ the engagement of external consultants in the assistance of the evaluation of complex accounting matters; ▪ the establishment of formalized internal controls to review and maintain segregation of duties between appropriate control operators; and ▪ the implementation of improved accounting and financial reporting procedures to enhance the completeness and accuracy of our financial accounting, reporting, and disclosures. We are in the process of completing our remediation plan, and we are currently testing that the newly implemented controls are operating effectively. The remaining elements of our Remediation Plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will remediate the identified material weaknesses. Part I Item 4 We intend to complete the remaining portions of our Remediation Plan as promptly as possible. However, we cannot estimate how long it will take to correct any remaining material weaknesses that have not yet been remediated. Identified material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until a sustained period of time has passed to allow our management to test the design and operational effectiveness of the corrective actions pursuant to the Remediation Plan. In addition, we may discover additional material weaknesses that require additional time and resources to remediate and we may decide to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify the remediation steps described above. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Other than the Remediation Plan discussed above and the ongoing implementation of measures under the Remediation Plan designed to accurately maintain our financial records, enhance the flow of financial information, improve data management, and provide timely information to our management team, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is also 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 policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Part II Items 1 and 1A In the normal course of our business, we may be involved in various claims, negotiations, and legal actions. Except for such claims that arise in the normal course of business, as of and for the fiscal quarter ended Refer to the information under the section titled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, which risks and uncertainties could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report since its filing on March 31, 2022. We urge you to read the risk factors in the Annual Report.

To the extent that any portion of the Company Earn-Out Shares that would otherwise be issued to a holder of options that remain unvested at the date of the milestones described above, then in lieu of issuing the applicable Company Earn-Out Shares, the Company shall instead issue an award of restricted stock units of the Company for a number of shares of AvePoint's Common Stock equal to such portion of the Company Earn-Out Shares issuable with respect to the unvested options (the “Company“Company Earn-Out RSUs”RSUs”). In evaluation of the Company Earn-Out Shares and Company Earn-Out RSUs, management determined that the Company Earn-Out Shares represent derivatives to be marked to market at each reporting period, while the Company Earn-Out RSUs represent equity under ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”718”).

Under this approach, the fair value of the private placement warrants on July 1, 2021 was determined to be $1.4 million. The fair value was remeasured as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021and was determined to be $0.4$0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As a result, during thethree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, $0.1$0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, was recognized and included as gain on earn-out and warrant liabilities in the statements of operations.11.13.

The Company determined that the redemption feature required the Officer Awards to be classified in mezzanine equity prior to the Apex Business Combination. For share-based payment arrangements with employees, the amount presented in mezzanine equity at each balance sheet date was based on the redemption provisions of the instrument and adjusted for the proportion of consideration received in the form of employee services. The shares underlying the Officer Awards were puttable to the Company upon certain conditions, such as death or disability of the Officer Awards recipients, which the Company determined was not probable; therefore, the Company reclassified the grant-date intrinsic value to mezzanine equity as the awards vested. The Officer Awards were cancelled in 2021, concurrent with the Apex Business Combination. In exchange for the cancellation of the Officer Awards, the Company agreed to deliver within a year to the holders of the Officer Awards a fixed amount of shares equal to the amount of shares the holders would have received if the Officer Awards were exercised on the date of the Apex Business Combination in a net share settlement scenario.

Our key business metrics are further discussed in the section titled “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report). $ 167.4 $ 129.2 $ 178.2 $ 139.0 108 % 110 % 106 % 111 % We calculate our annual recurring revenue (“ARRCore TTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate ”) at the end of a particular period as the annualized sum of contractually obligated Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) from SaaS, term license and support, and maintenance revenue sources, with the exception of migration products, from all customers with a contract duration exceeding three months (such customers, our “Core” customers, and such ARR, our “Core ARR”), and the product of the current month’s monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) multiplied by twelve (to prospectively annualize SaaS and term license and support revenue). ARR also includes some recurring professional services revenue, such as recurring TAM services.MRR is attributable to our Channel business, and MRR-contributing customers are classified as customers with a contract duration of 3 months or less. As of March 31, 2022 andMarch 31, 2021, our Channel business was transacting the equivalent of $11.0 million and $5.5 million in ARR, respectively, calculated as December’s MRR multiplied by twelve months. Customer contracts used in calculating MRR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers. Growth in ARR is driven by both new business and the retention of existing business.We believe ARR is indicative of growth in recurring revenue streams, leading to higher revenue growth in future periods. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with, or to replace, either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers (the same is true for those contracts used in calculating MRR, which may or may not be extended or renewed by the customer).Core TTM Dollar-Based Net Retention RateWe use a trailing twelve-month ("TTM") dollar-based net retention rate to evaluate our ability to maintain and expand our revenue with our customer base over time. “Core TTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate” as of a period end is calculated by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all Core customers as of 12 months prior to such period end (the “Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these same Core customers as of the current period end (the “Current Period ARR”). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the Core TTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate.A Core TTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate greater than 100% implies positive net revenue retention. We believe this CoreTTM Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate metric is indicative of our ability to grow our relationships with existing customers, and further grow ARR and revenue. Improvement in this metric is driven by improvement in both customer retention, as well as cross-sell and up-sell capabilities. $ 50,291 $ 38,800 $ 55,701 $ 45,344 $ 105,992 $ 84,144 14,630 10,778 15,427 11,720 30,057 22,498 35,661 28,022 40,274 33,624 75,935 61,646 27,054 19,301 15,542 10,292 6,402 4,102 27,174 29,001 54,228 48,302 16,322 11,664 31,864 21,956 7,892 3,883 14,294 7,985 511 258 629 279 1,140 537 49,509 33,953 52,017 44,827 101,526 78,780 (13,848 ) (5,931 ) (11,743 ) (11,203 ) (25,591 ) (17,134 ) 3,104 (50 ) 1,995 73 5,099 23 (10,744 ) (5,981 ) (9,748 ) (11,130 ) (20,492 ) (17,111 ) 309 (1,039 ) (546 ) (73 ) (237 ) (1,112 ) $ (11,053 ) $ (4,942 ) $ (9,202 ) $ (11,057 ) $ (20,255 ) $ (15,999 ) $ 578 $ 90 $ 703 $ 272 $ 1,281 $ 362 2,462 1,111 3,396 9,791 5,858 10,902 4,484 1,991 5,281 4,364 9,765 6,355 750 97 1,024 83 1,774 180 $ 8,274 $ 3,289 $ 10,404 $ 14,510 $ 18,678 $ 17,799 March 31,June 30, 2022 and March 31,June 30, 2021March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: $ 26,553 $ 18,259 $ 8,294 45.4 % $ 27,619 $ 20,586 $ 7,033 34.2 % 10,202 8,727 1,475 16.9 % 14,011 11,088 2,923 26.4 % 8,925 5,916 3,009 50.9 % 9,848 7,302 2,546 34.9 % 4,441 5,409 (968 ) (17.9 )% 4,067 5,458 (1,391 ) (25.5 )% 170 489 (319 ) (65.2 )% 156 910 (754 ) (82.9 )% $ 50,291 $ 38,800 $ 11,491 29.6 % $ 55,701 $ 45,344 $ 10,357 22.8 % $11.5$10.4 million, or 29.6%22.8%, from $38.8$45.3 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 to $50.3$55.7 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022,, primarily as a result of an increase in SaaS, term license and support and services revenue.

EMEA experienced a $4.2$3.8 million increase in revenue driven by a $3.4$3.3 million increase in SaaS and term license and support revenue and a $1.2$1.4 million increase in service revenue. This growth was, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in maintenance revenue and a $0.1$0.6 million decrease in perpetual license revenue.

The overall decrease in maintenance and perpetual license revenue in each geography is due to AvePoint’s continued shift towards SaaS and term license and support offerings. Although services decreased in each geography due to fewer service delivery projects, servicesServices revenue is expected to fluctuate as the offerings are not inherently recurring in nature.

Stock-based compensation increasedwas the primary reason for the decrease in the overall sales and marketing expenses, increasingdecreasing by $1.4approximately $6.4 million year over year. The decrease in stock-based compensation was due to unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments on liability classified awards in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of a higher value in awards as well as ongoing stock-based compensation expense. The decrease in stock-based compensation was partially offset by a $4.6 million increase consisting of higher personnel, marketing and travel costs.
